Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa

|Branched from||Dutch Reformed Church|
The Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (Verenigende Gereformeerde Kerk in Suid-Afrika) was formed by the union of the black and coloured Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk mission churches.
Main markers in the URCSA'S history
In 1652 the Dutch formed a halfway station at the Cape and introduced slavery by whites.
Various foreign mission organisations started working in South Africa, which led to the formation of a number of denominations amongst those people who otherwise would have been excluded from the main churches.
This process motivated the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK) in South Africa to start its own independent mission work.
In 1857 the NGK synod decided to have separate services for coloured members.
A separate church, the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC) was formed in 1881.
For blacks, the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA) was formed in 1951.
In 1974 the synod of the DRCA decided in favour of church unity. In 1978 the DRMC decided likewise.
In 1986 the Belhar Confession - with its strong emphasis on unity, reconciliation and justice - was formulated and adopted by the DRMC.
In 1994 the DRMC and the DRCA united to form the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA).
The joy which marked the formal unification of the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa (DRCA) and the Dutch Reformed Mission Church (DRMC) in 1994 to form the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA), should be seen against the background of a very difficult road on which church unity often appeared as being an unattainable goal.
Shortly after the Dutch formed a halfway station at the Cape in 1652, they introduced slavery. They started a school for slaves, with the purpose of transferring the Dutch language and culture. To encourage slaves to learn the Dutch language and prayers, they were rewarded with tobacco and brandy.
The Dutch East India Company, as a matter of policy, had all their slaves baptised. The Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) of the time had no organised mission activity, with the result that the baptism of slaves were left to the wilfulness of their masters. Baptised slaves also did not necessarily become members of the church.
In 1737 Georg Schmidt from the Moravian Church came to Cape Town to work amongst the Khoikhoi of the Overberg. Pressurised by the Cape church, he was forced to leave for Germany again after seven years. In the course of time various mission organisations from overseas started working in South Africa, which led to the formation of a number of denominations amongst those people who else would have been excluded from the church.
This process motivated the DRC to start its own independent mission work. This new development started at the church's first synod of 1824, when it decided to allow missionaries within its own ranks. This was clearly a move to get control over the way in which mission work would be done in years to follow. "The Afrikaner abhorred the liberal views of equality, freedom and the social integration of many missionaries (from the foreign mission societies)". Although at its 1829 synod the DRC formally rejected discrimination on the basis of skin colour, it did not mean that in practice people of colour were not discriminated against, particularly at worship services and holy communion.
The DRC synod's decision of 1857 about separate services for coloured members "because of the weakness of some", has become notorious. The next logical step was the formation of a separate church. In 1881 representatives of five mission congregations assembled in Wellington near Cape Town for the first meeting of the DRMC. The DRC reserved the right to veto all decisions by this newly formed church. Also all its buildings had to be transferred on the DRC's name. The DRC decided to divide its mission work into a "home" and "foreign" mission. The first covered the Cape region, the second all the other provinces of South Africa, including Namibia. In each province separate churches for blacks and coloureds were formed. The Free State had its own mission church already in 1910.
In the Cape a separate "Dutch Reformed Bantu Church" was formed in 1951. All the coloured congregations eventually joined the DRMC, and the black congregations the DRCA. In 1974 the synod of the DRCA decided in favour of church unity. In 1978 the DRMC decided likewise.It took another 16 years for that ideal to be fulfilled. In the process, the Belhar Confession with its strong emphasis on unity, reconciliation and justice was formulated and adopted in 1986. This is still very much the motivating power by which the URCSA today lives.
The Uniting Reformed Church consists of approximately 1,230 000 members of them about 500,000 confessing members (excluding all those who are only baptised) and 683 congregations. Its name (which is in the continuous tense) and its logo (which is an incomplete circle) reflects the Church's emphasis on unity, and its hope for an even greater church unification within the family of God.
The Church is consisted of hudreds of congregations, these congregations belong to the regional presbytery and several presbyteries form a Synod. The Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa consist of seven regional synods, namely Namibia, Northern Transvaal, Southern Transvaal, Phororo (Northern Cape), Cape, Kwazulu-Natal, Free State and Lesotho. Each region has its own moderamen, and every congregation is represented at these synods. Congregations are grouped together in presbyteries. At the general synod level congregations are only represented through their presbyteries. The general synod determines the Church's policy, and the regional synods see to it that these policies are reflected in their various activities.
2006-11-06/08, 127 representatives of the Reformed Church in Africa, The Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa and Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk met at Achterbergh near Krugersdorp to discuss the reunification of the family of DRC churches and how this can be realized.
The Dutch Reformed Churches Union Act Repeal Bill [B69-2008] in the Parliament of South Africa has one of its objectives as to 'remove obstacles in the unification process of the Verenigde Gereformeerde Kerk, Reformed Church of Africa and the Dutch Reformed Churches without legislative intervention.' This is now Dutch Reformed Churches Union Act Repeal Act 46 of 2008.

Abstract
The coastal red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle L., was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands from Florida 100 yr ago and has spread to cover many shallow intertidal shorelines that once were unvegetated mudflats. We used a field survey approach to test whether mangroves at the land-ocean interface could indicate watershed inputs, especially whether measurements of leaf chemistry could identify coasts with high nutrient inputs and high mangrove productivities. During 2001-2002, we sampled mangroves on dry leeward coasts of southern Moloka'i and O'ahu for 14 leaf variables including stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (σ13C, σ15N), macronutrients (C, N, P), trace elements (B, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn), and cations (Na, Mg, K, Ca). A new modeling approach using leaf Na, N, P, and σ13C indicated two times higher productivity for mangroves in urban versus rural settings, with rural mangroves more limited by low N and P nutrients and high-nutrient urban mangroves more limited by freshwater inputs and salt stress. Leaf chemistry also helped identify other aspects of mangrove dynamics: especially leaf σ15N values helped identify groundwater N inputs, and a combination of strongly correlated variables (C, N, P, B, Cu, Mg, K, Ca) tracked the mangrove growth response to nutrient loading. Overall, the chemical marker approach is an efficient way to survey watershed forcing of mangrove forest dynamics.

Food competition between trout and dace in the North Pine River, Manitoba
Schlick, Rudolf Otto
Interspecific competition for food between eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis, Mitchill) and two species of dace (Rhinichthys cataractae, Valenciennes) and (Rhinichthys atratulus, Hermann) was investigated in North Pine River, Manitoba. Yearling and larger brook trout did not compete for food with the dace as their diets differed; however, fingerling brook trout and dace competed because their diets were similar. Fingerling trout, in a section of the stream containing a greater number of dace, grew slower than those fingerling trout that were in the non-competitive section of the stream.

How to Set a Lamp Timer
A lamp timer can control when a lamp turns on and off.
A lamp timer can control when a lamp turns on and off.
A light timer is a device that plugs into any electrical outlet and has a switched outlet on the side of the unit. The light timer has a 24-hour clock with the ability to be set to turn the power on and off to the switched outlet one or more times throughout the day (depending on the model). By plugging a lamp into the switched outlet, the timer can control when the lamp will turn on and off throughout the day. Such installations are commonly used when people go on vacation, to give the impression that someone is home.
1
Rotate the dial on the front of the timer to indicate the current time. Since the timer is on a 24-hour rotation, ensure to rotate to the appropriate "AM" or "PM" setting.
2
Push in the button on the dial that corresponds to the time you want the lamp to automatically turn on. Push the button on the dial that corresponds to the time you want the lamp to be turned off.
3
Disconnect the lamp's electrical plug from the outlet. Insert the plug into the switched outlet on the timer. Plug the timer into the wall outlet.
4
Turn on the lamp's light switch. If the current time falls between the desired on and off time on the timer, rotate the dial on the front of the timer until it clicks. The lamp should come on.
5
Keep an eye on the lamp for the next 24 hours to ensure that the lamp is turning on and off at the desired time to verify that you have set the timer correctly.

The notion of tangent category of a category is an approximation to the notion of tangent (∞,1)-category in ordinary category theory.
For the moment see there for further motivation.
The tangent category of is effectively the fiberwise abelianization of the codomain fibration :
we may think of it as obtained from the codomain fibration by replacing each overcategory fiber by the corresponding category of abelian group objects and restricting the morphisms such as to respect the abelian group object structure.
Let be a category with pullbacks. Then the tangent category of is the category whose
objects are pairs with and with a Beck module over, i.e. an abelian group object in the overcategory ;
notice that for an object in the overcategory that is equipped with the structure of an abelian group object – notably with a product – and for any morphism in, the pullback in is naturally equipped with the structure of an abelian group object in ;
morphisms are commuting squares
such that the induced morphism is a morphism of abelian group objects in ;
composition of morphisms is given in the evident way by.
There is an evident functor, the underlying codomain fibration:
The fiber over of this functor is the category of abelian group objects in the overcategory :
There is also another functor, inherited from the domain cofibration
where we first forget the abelian group object structure and then project onto the domains.
(we should be claiming that this functor has a left adjoint which is a section and computes the Kähler differentials of objects in ).
Of a site
We discuss morphisms of sites from a site to its tangent category.
Let be a category with finite limits and let be its tangent category.
There is then the 0-section which sends to the terminal object in the overcategory, equipped, necessarily, with the trivial group structure. This exhibits as a retract of
Assume now that has pullbacks and is equipped with a coverage, hence with the structure of a site.
Equip with the coverage where is a cover in precisely if its image is a cover in.
Then the 0-section preserves covers.
We claim it also preserves limits: i.e. that preserves colimits:
let be a diagram and its colimit in. Then let be any cocone under in. By applying to that cocone we find that there is a unique morphism of cocones in. But any morphism of the form for and has a unique lift to a morphism in (because the trivial ablian group is initial, so that the morphism in is fixed by its underlying morphism in ).
So for any coverage on and the above induced coverage on, the 0-section is a morphism of sites.
Accordingly, we obtain a geometric morphism of sheaf toposes
Modules as tangents to rings
For CRing we have Mod.
(More generally for Ring then is the category of bimodules, see at Beck module – Over associative algebras).
Consider the functor
that sends an -module to the square-0 extension ring, regarded as an abelian group object in.
The action on morphisms is given as follows: if and are two objects in Mod, then a morphism between them is a pair consisting of a ring homorphism and a morphism of modules from to ; the corresponding morphism of rings is. The induced morphism of rings is explicitly given by and is easily checked to be a morphism of abelian group objects over.
Moreover, by the natural isomorphism in, showing that is an equivalence is reduced to showing that is a fibrewise equivalence, i.e., that that for any fixed ring,
is an equivalence of categories. This is shown at module.
The domain projection has a left adjoint, namely the functor assigning to each commutative ring the pair, where is the -module of Kähler differentials.
Let and be commutative rings, let be a -module, and consider as a ring as in the previous proof. Then, to give a ring homomorphism is the same as giving a ring homomorphism and an additive homomorphism such that
for all and in. But by the universal property of, this is the same as giving a morphism in.
Modules over smooth algebras
Let (or ) be the category of smooth algebras. Notice that there is a canonical forgetful functor
to the underlying ordinary rings.
There is an equivalence of categories
where on the right we have the strict pullback (i.e. taken in the 1-category Cat).
We give the proof below. First some remarks and corollaries.
For any category we have that
So in particular for the simplex category we have that simplicial modules over simplicial smooth algebras are as objects just ordinary simplicial modules over the underlying simplicial rings.
For proving the above theorem the main step is the following lemma.
The statement was suggested at some point by Thomas Nikolaus in discussion with Urs Schreiber, who then asked Herman Stel to prove it. A writeup is in (Stel).
We discuss in detail that the functor is injective on objects, in that for an any abelian group object in its smooth algebra structure on the underlying ring structure is the unique such smooth algebra that makes it an abelian group object over. Whith this it is then easy to see that is in fact an isomorphism of categories.
The crucial property underlying this statement is that the Lawvere theory CartSp over wich smooth algebras are -algebras is in fact a Fermat theory in that Hadamard's lemma holds for smooth functions in particular on Cartesian spaces.
This implies that for every and every smooth function there are smooth functions such that the function
has an expansion given for all by
We now use that any smooth algebra regarded as a product-preserving functor reflects these relations in that for all we have that
Now if and is an object in then in particular its underlying ring will be an object in. By the above theorem this means that the underlying ring is a square-zero extension by some.
So it follows every element of is of the form with and we can always write it as
Moreover, since is by assumption a group object over, it follows that for all and for all we have
So we only need to know how acts on mixed terms. The point now is that the above Hadamard-quotient formula reduces the action of any smooth function to just operations of this form and to ordinary multiplication and addition, so it actually fixes from the restriction of to elements of the form and the module structure on :
since in the underlying square-0 extension of and hence also in.
In summary this shows that the forgetful functor is injective on objects. The above formula also directly implies, conversely, that the functor is surjective on objects, hence an isomorphism on objects, and moreover that it is a full and faithful functor.
Finally we come to the proof of the full theorem above
The above lemma shows that is a bijection on objects.
Since the pullbacks that are involved in the definition of the tangent category are preserved by the right adjoint forgetful functor (a special case of the general facts about Relative free T-algebra adjunctions), checking bijection on hom-sets
amounts to checking for each bijections of hom-sets of abelian group objects
That this is a bijection is the statement of the above lemma.
The original observation that is due to

Bourdieu's construct of the field of power has received relatively little attention despite its novelty and theoretical potential. This paper explores the meaning and implications of the construct, and integrates it into a wider conception of the formation and functioning of elites at the highest level in society. Drawing on an extensive dataset profiling the careers of members of the French business elite, it compares and contrasts those who enter the field of power with those who fail to qualify for membership, exploring why some succeed as hyper-agents while others do not. The alliance of social origin and educational attainment, class and meritocracy, emerges as particularly compelling. The field of power is shown to be relatively variegated and fluid, connecting agents from different life worlds. Methodologically, this paper connects biographical data of top French directors with the field of power in France in a novel way, while presenting an operationalization of Bourdieu's concept of the field of power as applied to the French elite.

Optimizing Material Handling for Better Throughput
Material Handling Optimization
Wire baskets, trays, and carriers are used for a variety of applications from work holding to heat treating to cleaning operations. Wire baskets are used in many applications because they are strong, yet lightweight. The open construction of wire baskets allows air circulation, greater visibility of the product, greater accessibility of the product and allows better run off of cleaning solutions during washing or degreasing operations.
The rounded, smooth surface of the wire can allow parts to be guided into chambers or cells without fracturing or nicking fragile components, whether it is a machined metal component for medical, automotive or military applications or a film protecting food products or pharmaceutical preparations. Wire containers are strong and can easily withstand the wear and tear of factory use. Tooling and fabrication costs for wire baskets can be more economical than baskets made of other materials. Metal baskets are better for the environment because when the baskets are no longer needed (due to a change in product or process) the metal can be recycled to be made into reprocessed metal to keep obsolete material out of landfills.
Material handling can become an issue that does not usually arise unless components are being handled improperly. The improper handling often causes parts to become damaged and may contribute to more scrap and lower productivity (due to rework or increased inspection) in certain assembly areas. If parts are not processed efficiently or moved to the next station quickly enough, throughput can be impacted and cause downtime in downstream operations.
Proper material handling techniques can decrease the indirect cost of manufacturing by reducing the number of times a part must be handled and decrease the loss or damage due to mishandling. Many handling baskets also double as storage bins. If parts are not stored properly, damage may occur. Baskets can be designed with a stacking feature which reduces the amount of floor space required for goods in process.
Material Processing
A related issue in material handling is material processing. Material processing can be heat treating, degreasing, washing or sterilizing. The need for adequate material processing containers becomes apparent when parts cannot be processed quickly enough due to improper design, or insufficient capacity. Many components have to be oriented in a certain way to ensure consistent cleaning and drainage or plating coverage or heat treating uniformity. Acme Wire Products can work with your processing engineers to help develop a processing rack or basket that meets your needs.
The more sophisticated or complex the component, the more engineered the container becomes. A component which must go through several machining or fabricating operations already has a significant labor cost already applied to it before it reaches its final state. In this instance, the manufacturer does not want the operators to carelessly put parts into a box and send them onto the next station. A custom basket or rack for handling these items can prevent damage due to mishandling.
For cleaning and sterilizing operations, 300 series stainless steel, either 304 or 316/316L is typically used as the baskets are going into a wet, high-temperature environment. For most handling baskets, zinc plated steel is the preferred material. For new basket applications, Acme Wire Products' engineers will consult with the customer and consider the weight of the product the basket will hold, how many parts need to be processed per batch, the part orientation and numerous other factors.
A pin-style basket is typically used to hold parts with a small internal diameter. Larger parts that can be located on the outer surface will often be held in a grid style orientation. Sometimes parts are oriented between rails or on rings. Proper part placement and dimensional accuracy become critical when parts are being loaded or unloaded in automated cells.
Acme Wire Products Co., Inc. of Mystic, CT specializes in designing and fabricating custom wire and metal material handling and processing baskets. As a full-service metal fabricator, Acme can utilize materials in addition to and in conjunction with wire, depending upon a customers' requirement. Sheet metal, perforated stock, stampings or tubing are all materials that can be combined with wire to obtain the maximum effectiveness in solving our customer's handling needs.
Acme Wire Products has designed, recommended and manufactured custom handling and processing baskets for customers in many diverse markets. We offer the benefit of our almost 50 years' experience in the manufacture of carriers for hardware, medical, firearms, pharmaceutical, automotive, optical and food processing industries. Wire carriers can hold parts as delicate as a glass lens or vial or an egg or an electronic component or as sturdy as a gear or a casting.
Often, when a customer is installing a new sterilizing or degreasing line, they will request custom wire baskets to fit their new equipment. Acme Wire's designers will work with the customer to establish a carrier that will afford the greatest effectiveness and coordinate manufacturing with the installation of their new equipment. Acme Wire also builds baskets, racks, and carriers as components to commercial washing and sterilization equipment.
The design of wire baskets and most wire fabrication is limited only by one's imagination (and the limitations of technology). There are almost as many types of baskets as there are different parts to be contained. Contact Acme Wire Products to assist you in determining the design which is best suited your handling and processing requirements as well as fabricating the carriers to your specifications!

Awareness Call to New Poultry Keepers
by 5m Editor
1 June 2010, at 6:14am
On the countryside programme, 'Landward', aired in Scotland on BBC2 last Friday (28 May) at 7.00pm, a feature looked at the significant increase in the number of households looking to keep their own poultry.
NFU Scotland and the programme makes the point that the welfare of the stock must take priority and those contemplating such a move should undergo appropriate training in keeping poultry and ensure they have veterinary support.
NFU Scotland's Communications Director, Bob Carruth, said: "There is a danger that people get caught up in the whole wave of producing your own food without giving serious thought to all that is involved in properly looking after your hens and chickens. There is a big difference between growing a few carrots and lettuce to actually keeping and looking after livestock. "These birds are not pets or fashion items and I am glad the programme points potential bird-keepers towards the need for appropriate training in how to look after the hens and that veterinary advice should be available. Both are essential to the health and welfare of the birds.
"We would also encourage those keeping hens in their gardens or backyards to register their birds with the authorities. Diseases, such as avian influenza and Newcastle Disease, pose huge health risks to wild birds, small flocks and commercial poultry stocks. In the event of any outbreak, it is in everyone's interests that we know where all birds are being kept and I would urge any new flock owners to sign up to the Poultry Register."

Study: Gulf of Alaska Wind Patterns Help and Hurt Pollock Survival
For years, scientists at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center have long wondered why an abundance of very young pollock doesn't always translate into a similar abundance of adult pollock a few years later. Now they know why, and while it sheds light on a long-asked question, it also raises more about the dynamic between the Gulf of Alaska ecosystem and pollock, an important national resource.
The new study conclusively shows that the Gulf of Alaska is a wind-driven system that determines year-to-year distribution of juvenile...

Creating a Simple iOS Client for Relativity Server
September 23, 2011 in iOS, Relativity, Xcode
Today I want to talk about how to create a simple iPhone client application for Relativity server using the DataAbstract for Xcode templates. Though the focus will be on Xcode 4, the same mechanisms can be applied to Xcode 3.
Going through a set of actions, we will use a DataAbstract iOS Application template to create an application with several views representing a Master/Detail relation.
Let's start with the first step.
Creating a new project using a DataAbstract iOS Application template
Open your Xcode application and perform the File>New>New project… command.
In the opened sheet, choose the RemObjects Software category from the iOS templates section and select the Data Abstract iOS Application template.
Specify the product name and don't forget to set the Talk to Relativity Server option.
Finally, select the destination folder for your new project and press the Create button. Your new project should now be open:
Let's take a few seconds to review what you have at the moment. You should have a compilable application (with some warnings – we will review them a bit later) that has an AppDelegate class and a RootViewController with its xib. There should also be a DataAccess class, which will be responsible for all manipulation with data. The new project also has all the necessary linker flags and properly configured paths as shown in the screen-shot below:
Implementation of the iOS client
Now you can compile the application, after which you will see a set of warnings:
These warnings were generated by the template system to highlight places that require adjusting or proper implementation to get your application working. Let's walk through all of them and eliminate them one by one.
1. Adjusting the connection configuration
First, let's change some defaults in the generated DataAccess class to specify the Relativity server URL, domain and schema. For this example, let's assume that you have the Relativity server running on a Windows computer with the IP
Open the DataAccess.m file and specify the proper URL for the Relativity server, domain and schema.
You can comment the warning there, since we are done with it (as shown below).
//_TAG_ Define your server address and Relativity domain name, below.
_TAG_ SERVER_URL @""
_TAG_ SERVICE_NAME @"DataService" // Do not change when using Relativity server
_TAG_ RELATIVITY_DOMAIN @"PCTrade Sample"
2. Defining tables you want to work with
Since the DataAccess class encapsulates all functionality needed for working with data, you need to define your tables there. Let's define them as retain properties. See the code below:
_USER_ DataAccess : NSObject

 DADataTable *ordersTable;
 DADataTable *orderDetailsTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *clientsTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *ordersTable;
_USER_ (retain) DADataTable *orderDetailsTable;
Don't forget to add the proper _USER_ directive and release the properties in the dealloc method in the DataAccess.m file.
_TAG_ mark -
_TAG_ mark Properties
_USER_ clientsTable, ordersTable, orderDetailsTable;
- (void) dealloc {
 [clientsTable release], clientsTable = nil;
 [ordersTable release], ordersTable = nil;
 [orderDetailsTable release], orderDetailsTable = nil;
 [super dealloc];
3. Implementing the initial loading of data
Now let's implement the method for the initial loading of data from the Relativity server.
Locate the downloadData method of the DataAccess class and add the following code:
Note: Our templates contain various vital tips and explanations on how to use a particular method. Please carefully review this kind of information, it can be very useful.
- (void)downloadData {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to download any data your application needs on first start
 NSArray *tableNames = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
 ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME, nil];
 NSDictionary *tables = [rda getDataTables:tableNames];
 [self setClientsTable:[tables valueForKey:CLIENTS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrdersTable:[tables valueForKey:ORDERS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrderDetailsTable:[tables valueForKey:ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME]];
Note that we used a synchronous call to getDataTables here, because the whole downloadData method will be executed in a background thread (i.e. asynchronously).
4. Adding briefcase support to your application
In order to allow your application to work in offline mode, you need to persist downloaded data somewhere on the device. Let's use the DABriefcase functionality for this.
Locate the loadDataFromBriefcase: and saveDataToBriefcase: methods in the DataAccess class and implement them as shown below:
- (void)loadDataFromBriefcase:(DABriefcase *)briefcase {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to re-load your data from the briefcase when re-launched
 [self setClientsTable:[briefcase tableNamed:CLIENTS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrdersTable:[briefcase tableNamed:ORDERS_TABLE_NAME]];
 [self setOrderDetailsTable:[briefcase tableNamed:ORDERDETAILS_TABLE_NAME]];
- (void)saveDataToBriefcase:(DABriefcase *)briefcase {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to save your data to the briefcase
 [briefcase addTable:[self clientsTable]];
 [briefcase addTable:[self ordersTable]];
 [briefcase addTable:[self orderDetailsTable]];
 // Uncomment this to finalize briefcase support
 // (without this value written, DataAccess will ignore the briefcase when starting up,
 // see threadedLoadInitialData)
5. Extending the Orders table with lookup and calculated fields
Let's look at the orders table structure. It only has a minimal set of the fields like id, client id, date and status. That's not a lot and it would be be great to see (for example) the customer name instead of its ID and the total sum for the given order (which could be calculated from the OrderDetails table). Toachieve this, you'll have to add lookup and calculated fields to the Orders table. Locate the setupData method of the DataAccess class and add the following implementation:
- (void)setupData {
 // Use this method to implement any setup that's needed on your data tables, such as
 // creating lookup or calculated fields, etc.
 [[self ordersTable] addCalculatedFieldName:@"OrderTotal"
 [[self ordersTable] addLookupFieldName:@"CustomerName"
 sourceField:[[self ordersTable] fieldByName:@"Client"]
 lookupTable:[self clientsTable]
 lookupKeyField:[[self clientsTable] fieldByName:@"ClientId"]
 lookupResultField:[[self clientsTable] fieldByName:@"ClientName"]];
-(id)calculateSumForOrder:(DADataTableRow *)row {
 double result = 0;
 NSPredicate *p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"Order == %@", [row valueForKey:@"OrderId"]];
 NSArray *rows = [[orderDetailsTable rows] filteredArrayUsingPredicate:p];
 for (DADataTableRow *orow in rows) {
 double summ = [(NSNumber *)[orow valueForKey:@"Total"] doubleValue];
 result = result + summ;
 return [NSNumber numberWithDouble:result];
6. Checking the login and password stuff in your Application delegate
Relativity server provides secured services protected by login and password. Thus, when asking for data the first time, a SessionNotFound exception will be raised on the Relativity side to tells you that you need to login to the Relativity domain first. When you log in to it, it will be able to find your registered session and allow you to proceed. The iOS client application can catch this kind of exception and provide a login operation in the background, and, after successful login, it will repeat the last failed request. When you open the PCTradeClientAppDelegate.h file you will see that this class supports the DataAccessDelegate protocol, which has a needLogin:password: method that will be used for obtaining the proper login and password.
Since you are mostly using default settings, you can leave the already generated method untouched. It should look like this:
- (BOOL)needLogin:(NSString **)login password:(NSString **)password {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to ask the user for login information when needed
 // The DataAccess automatically takes care of storing login information in Settings and Key Chain,
 // and retrieving it as necessary. This method is only called when no login is stored (i.e. on first
 // run) or if the login retrieved was rejected by the server.
 // Typically, you would implement this method to bring up a UI that asks the user for his credentials.
 // By default, new Relativity Server domains will use "Data"/"Relativity" as login, unless
 // the login provider setup has been changed by the administrator.
 *login = @"Data";
 *password = @"Relativity";
 return YES; // return YES if the user provided login details, or NO if the user canceled
7. Implementing the RootViewController
You can now configure the root view to show the list of clients:
Open the RootViewController.m file and locate the myTable method that specifies the main data table for the whole current view. Since the default name myTable is a bit nondescript, let's use the Refactoring>Rename option to rename it viewData.
Now add the following implementation:
- (DADataTable *)viewData {
 //_TAG_ Implement this method to return the table this view will work on
 return [[DataAccess sharedInstance]

Fixing Potholes with Non-Newtonian Fluid
potholes? Forget waiting around for 5 road workers to stand around and watch
while one guy fills the pothole with asphalt! Just grab a bit of non-Newtonian
fluid and, there – you fixed it:
The students, undergraduates at Case Western Reserve University
in Cleveland, devised the idea as part of an engineering contest sponsored
by the French materials company Saint-Gobain—and took first prize
last week. The objective was to use simple materials to create a novel
"So we were putzing around with different ideas and things
we wanted to work with—and we were like, what's a common, everyday
problem all around the world that everybody hates?" explains 21-year-old
team member Curtis Obert. "And we landed on potholes." He
and four other students decided on a non-Newtonian fluid as a solution
because of its unusual physical properties. "When there's no force
being applied to it, it flows like a liquid does and fills in the holes,"
says Obert, "but when it gets run over, it acts like a solid."
What? Don't believe us? Check out this video clip of people
walking on water in a pool filled with non-Newtonian liquid.

soccer goalkeepers guide to communication and
|As well as teaching positioning, how
to save shots and start the next attack, you must teach and encourage your goalkeepers to
communicate with the rest of the team.
Silence is definitely not golden
Good, timely communication is a habit that needs to be formed early in your goakeeper's
career but don't expect seven, eight or even nine-year-olds to be able to organise
defensive walls and warn team mates that they've left an attacker unmarked.
Spotting when a defender loses track of an attacker, when defenders are watching the ball
instead of watching opposition players or when they are leaving big gaps that forwards can
run into requires experience that can only be gained by playing lots of matches.
You should, however, encourage even very young players to claim the ball by shouting
"KEEPER!" in the loudest voice they can muster when the ball rolls into the box
and they are in a position to pick it up.
As she gains experience, your goalkeeper should also be calling "KEEPER!" when
the ball is crossed into the penalty area and she should also be telling her defenders to
get the ball by shouting "AWAY!" when the ball is in the box and she can't get
By the time your players are 10 or 11, your goalkeeper should be telling her team mates -
loudly and specifically - where to go at corners and be able to organise a defensive wall.
The key words at this age are "loud" and "specific".
It's not much use whispering "mark up".
If your 'keeper doesn't shout her instructions in a loud voice, the likelihood is nothing
will happen but if someone does hear her, they will just look around in confusion.
Instead, defenders should be told - by name and in a very loud voice - what to do.
E.G. "CHLOE - watch the player on your left!" or "JOE - mark the number
How to practise
Good communication can be encouraged and ingrained in your goalkeepers by playing short
4v4 matches in which they are given the objective of giving two or three instructions to
What to say to your goalkeeper:
"Tell your defenders what to do."
"If you want the ball, shout 'KEEPER!' in a very loud voice."
Goalkeeping can be tough, especially on young players who are just starting to learn the
skills they need.
They will make mistakes and they will let in shots that, next season, they will save
That's if they are still a goalkeeper next season. The pressure on children to give up the
position of goalkeeper is hard to resist if they are criticised by their team mates in
their first few weeks or months.
So you have to make sure that your players know that criticism of team mates is not
allowed. We all make mistakes - it's part of the learning process - and to have a go at
any player because they miss a shot, mistime a tackle or fumble a save is unfair and
At the same time, tell your goalkeeper(s) that you expect them to make mistakes, that no
one expects them to keep every shot out of the net and when they do make an error they
should try to forget it straightaway.
If they are allowed to dwell on what's just happened they will probably make another
mistake... and another.
But it's just as important to make sure your 'keeper doesn't blame her team mates for
allowing the other team to shoot at her - if she gets into the habit of blaming others
when the team concedes a goal, she can come to believe that goals are never her fault and
she doesn't need to improve.
What to say to your players:
"Goalkeepers never let goals in, it's the team that concedes a goal."
Coaching very young goalkeepers
Four and five-year-olds can practise the basics of goalkeeping by playing throwing,
catching and kicking games.
Simple games like Sit Down are ideal:
- Put your players in a tight circle and toss the ball to each other.
- If a player drops the ball, they kneel on one knee. If they can catch the ball next time
it comes round, they stand up again but if they drop it for a second time they kneel on
both knees. Catch it next time and they stand up but a third drop means they have to sit
There's no winner, just play for a few minutes and congratulate everyone.
There are plenty more games for young goalkeepers on footy4kids.
Who's in goal today?
While I suggest you get all your players to have a go at being in goal during practice
sessions, putting the more nervous or younger players in goal during matches may be a step
too far for some of them.
If a player really don't want to go in goal, don't make them. An unwilling 'keeper won't
do much except stand on the goal line hoping the ball stays at the other end of the pitch
and when they do get a shot to save, they will probably freeze and watch the ball hit the
net. And that's no good for anyone.
Finally, please remember that young kids have a short attention span and may be watching a
butterfly, a bird or even a worm while the ball is rolling into the back of the net. Don't
let this bother you.
"Hey coach... I want to go in goal!"
You will find it much easier to find a player who wants to go in goal if you make the job
of shot-stopper a desirable one by:
Buying smart goalkeeper playing kit.
Allowing goalkeepers to play outfield - in a position of their choice - several times a
Making sure all your players - especially your 'keeper - know that the position of
goalkeeper is the hardest one on the team.
- Making the time to deliver dedicated goalkeeper coaching sessions.

When the file is checked out for compiling (with get):-
 _TAG_ CONFIG_NO_SCCS_IDS
 static const char sccs_id[] = "@(#)foo.c 1.3";
After compiling:-
 $ what foo
 foo.c 1.3
If the executable is linked from several source files, you will get a line of output for each string containing the identification string '@(#)'. This is useful for finding out exactly what code went into an executable. This technique also works on object files, archive libraries, text files, and in fact any sorts of files at all.
Unlike the strings command, there is no way to make what operate on standard input. The data would need to be written to a file first.
The rationale for the preprocessor construct CONFIG_NO_SCCS_IDS is that sometimes compilers or lint-pickers complain that the variable sccs_id is unused, and defining CONFIG_NO_SCCS_IDS will remove these ids and thus silence the warnings.

Summary
Background. Skin ageing is a continuous process, with intrinsic factors determining which extrinsic factors (chronic sun exposure and other environmental factors, particularly smoking) have the greatest effect.
Aim. To investigate the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on skin ageing in a Mediterranean population from Ankara, Turkey.
Methods. In total, 574 (337 women, 237 men; age range 18–89 years) were enrolled into the study. Data were collected on age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), skin phototype, smoking status, consumption of alcohol (> 3 units/week) and coffee (> 1 cup/day), sun exposure, use of sunscreen and sunglasses, and involvement in sports and physical activities. The Daniell skin-wrinkling grading system was used as a marker of skin ageing.
Results. We found that male gender, chronic sun exposure and number of pack-years of cigarette smoking significantly contributed to the formation of facial wrinkles. There was a negative correlation between facial wrinkling and the use of sunscreen and sunglasses and facial wrinkling (P < 0.001 for both). We did not find any significant association between wrinkling score and alcohol consumption, coffee consumption, sports participation or d skin phototype. Moreover, wrinkling score was significantly higher in patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 than in patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m2 (P < 0.018). Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol consumption, skin phototype, sun exposure, and use of sunglasses and topical sun protection. We found that gender and age were significantly associated with skin ageing (P < 0.014 and < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion. In this study, older age, male gender, low BMI, smoking and chronic sun exposure had a negative influence on skin ageing in a Turkish population.

Wild Garden Products
Why attract butterflies & moths?
If you take steps to encourage butterflies and moths into your garden, you will end up with a double bonus: colourful butterflies and moths , and a beautiful garden. You will also be helping to compensate for the loss of habitat in the countryside. Many butterfly and moth species have declined in number, and gardens can provide valuable alternative sites for feeding, and, with the right plants, for breeding.
Why feed birds?
The most obvious benefit of feeding birds is simply the enjoyment their company can bring us. While birds will naturally visit any garden, adding feeders and different food stations will attract more species, from sparrows to blue tits, woodpeckers and other unique species, and many garden birders keep "bird lists" to track the different species they see right at their doorsteps. The colours, songs and behaviors that birds bring with them can all be enjoyed by dedicated garden birders, but there is much more to appreciate by feeding birds.

RF XL uses no water or solvent, small physical footprint, can be adapted to many reservoir types, expected to reduce or eliminate GHGs
New technology like Acceleware's RF XL radio frequency heater be key to Alberta's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands. The Calgary-based company has partnered with Prosper Petroleum on a commercial-scale test on SAGD production that is partly funded by $10 million from federal and provincial agencies. Prosper's CEO said RF XL "could be a game-changer."
"Testing the technology at Rigel is strategic for Prosper (10,000 b/d project expected to be approved this year) because a successful deployment would allow us to transition quickly to a broader commercial development at this site, and potentially help us achieve our goal of 40,000 bbl/day of production with far lower costs and environmental impact," Brad Gardiner said in a press release.
"Our planned cogeneration facility could provide power for RF XL systems, we could eliminate the need to source additional external water, and we could leverage the existing water treatment capacity of the SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) facility within the existing footprint."
RF XL efficiently mobilizes heavy oil and bitumen by using radio waves to heat the water already present in the reservoir. RF XL requires no chemicals or solvents, no external water, utilizes a smaller surface footprint, and can reduce GHG emissions by 50-100 per cent, compared to SAGD.
Prosper will provide the test project with access to specific Rigel leases (located 100 kms northwest of Fort McMurray), engineering and geological support and services, and assistance with obtaining regulatory approvals.
In exchange, Acceleware will grant Prosper the right to purchase RF XL systems at a preferential rate for use on Prosper lands for a period of 20 years following the completion of the test. Acceleware will also receive the proceeds from the sale of any bitumen produced during the test.
"Given how critical and pressing economic and environmental factors have become to the ongoing development of Canadian oil sands and heavy oil, partnering with a company that offers experience and agility combined with a resource that can demonstrate the massive potential reach of the RF XL innovation is key to us. Prosper brings all of these and an impeccable reputation in a wide range of heavy oil and oil sands environments," said Geoff Clark, CEO of Acceleware.
"We are very excited to move forward with them on this project."
Sustainable Development Technology Canada and Emissions Reduction Alberta have committed up to $10 million in non-repayable funding for the test. With the support of Prosper, Acceleware says it will begin raising remaining capital to further support the test.
"Producers have been looking to harness RF energy as a means to mobilize oil sands and heavy oil reservoirs for more than 50 years," said Mike Tourigny, Acceleware's VP commercialization RF heating.
"We believe we are on the verge of realizing the full potential of this technology once it is successfully deployed at Rigel."

BIOMETRY
It is used to calculate the power of the intraocular lens (IOL: intraocular lens) that will be placed during cataract surgery. There are two types of Biometrics.
A-Ultrasonic (A-scan) Biometry: It is a widely used method. This method is used especially in advanced cataracts.
B-Optical Biometry: Although it is a sensitive method, it is the biggest disadvantage that most of the cataracts in our country cannot be measured. It is preferred in non-advanced cataracts. It is done without touching the patient and in a sitting position.
In the biometry performed with the contact method, the margin of error varies according to the person measuring. Biometry with the immersion method gives very sensitive and accurate results. For this reason, this method should be used especially in patients with multifocal IOL. The biggest disadvantage is the application of drop anesthesia to the patient and performing it in a supine position.

My design of an ultra-low power ultra-low speed ADC is for pacemakers. However, since I'm focusing on the design of stand-alone ADC, I somewhat neglect the exact requirement from the perspective of pacemaker system (I know it's not good, but research could have such excuse (:).
In this post, I try to ask myself several questions related with ADC design from the view of pacemaker system. Just for a moment, forget about research, about beating the performance numbers without thinking the real world (:
1. How many number of bits are required?
This is related to the minimum and maximum signal the ADC is going to digitize. Since the pacemaker deals with the heart, an example of the well-known surface electrocardiogram (ECG) is shown in Fig.1. The ECG signal can be as small as several tenths of mV for smaller components like the P-wave to tens of mV in amplitude for the largest features in a QRS complex. So the resolution required is usually no less than 8 bits.
2. What's the sampling frequency?
The frequency range of ECG is from several tenths of 1Hz to tens of 100Hz. The sampling rate of ADC is around 1kS/s.
3. Any system clock provided in the pacemaker?
There is a clock generation subsystem provides different frequencies of clocks for the pacemaker, which is typically based on a 32kHz crystal.
4. Can multiple supplies be used in ADC?
There is a power management subsystem, which includes regulators to provide different levels of voltages for other subsystems, and detectors to measure the battery voltage when it has reached the elective replacement interval (ERI) or end of service (EOS) points.
Multiple voltage scheme can be used inside the pacemaker to achieve high power efficiency. For example, higher supplies are used by pace drivers to provide a larger signal swing and high gate drive to analog swiches. Digital functions, on the other hand, benefit from lower supplies to reduce both dynamic and leakage power consumption. Moreover, the regulators may also have standby mode to allow a function to retain its state with a lower voltage.
5. What's the power consumption of ADC?
To answer this question, let us first look at the capacites of pacemaker batteries. Usually it's on the order of 900 mA-hrs, which translates into approximately 100 uA-years. This means if the life span of pacemaker is 10 years, the average current drawn by a pacemaker should be no less than 10 uA. This simplified example highlights that if we save a block for 100 nA current consumption, we increase the longevity of the device by over one month!

Use of banana blossom to enhance the nutrient content of bean soup
MetadataShow full item record
The banana plant (Musa spp.) is widely grown in Uganda. Its fruit is a good source of carbohydrates and potassium. The other plant parts such as the shoot when fresh or dried are utilized for traditional, packaging and storage functions. In Uganda the cooking banana fruits are eaten as a staple while the blossom is usually thrown away. However, banana blossom has been reported to be edible in different parts of the world. Under this study, banana blossoms were assessed for use as a nutrient enhancer in bean soup. Samples of banana blossoms from the East African Highland bananas (Mpologoma variety) were harvested, washed, sliced, soaked in 0.2% citric acid solution and dried at 60℃ for 2 hours and 30 minutes in a cabinet drier. The dried samples were then ground into powder, tested for proximate composition (moisture, protein and dietary fiber content) and physico-chemical properties. The powder was added to two bean soups, one with 0.2% salt and the other without salt, at 5% and 10%. The proximate and physicochemical properties of the Banana Blossom Powder (BBP) were determined using Association of Analytical Chemists standard methods whereas the sensory acceptability of the bean soup containing BBP was rated on a nine-point hedonic scale by 20 male and 10 female, untrained students from the School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bio-systems engineering at Makerere University. The results indicate that the moisture, protein and dietary fiber content were 5.96%, 19.80% and 15.13% respectively. The Water Absorption Capacity, Swelling Capacity and Water Solubility Index of the BBP were 398.11%, 4.74% and 6.28% respectively. The sensory acceptability of the bean soup containing the BBP was within the range of 2.20-5.00. The sample with 5% BBP and salt had an acceptability of 5.00 which was not significantly different from the bean soup without the BBP (5.67). The results showed the potential of banana blossom powder to contribute to the nutrition value of local diets.

The OSC-DLL reference
This DLL allows you to receive OSC data in applications which can bind static librarys (DLLs) on Microsoft Windows.
OSC-DLL download
Download the DLL with sample cpp files.
OSC basics
Each OSC message consists at least of one address string, which tells the application which subfunction is addressed. In the simplest case the address string is the only part of the whole message. Often you will have other parameters following though. The OSC DLL currently supports integer, floating point and string parameters.
OSC function calls:
The OSCDLL exports a number of functions you can call in your program.
Depending on your compiler/programming framework you have to take some steps to be able to access those functions.
For C i prepared a Header-File (oscinterface.h) and a source file (oscinterface.cpp) which allow the import of the functions into your program.
A typical integration into your program would look similar to this:
program initialisation
OSCLinkDLL(); //binds the DLL
OSCOpen(); //opens the OSC connection, will always listen on port 7000
main loop of your program, this example assumes you are receiving tracking data from eyecon. The four parameters are
1. integer timestamp // used as an id to track an individual
2. boolean present // will usually be 1 (true) if this drops to 0 (false) it means that the person with this ID dissapeared
3. float x // x-coordinate scaled to range 0..1
4. float y // y-coordinat scaled to range 0..1
int cnt = OSCMsgCnt(); //number of osc-message in input queue
for (i:=0; i =4)
int id = OSCParaAsInt(0);
int alive = OSCParaAsInt(1);
float x = OSCParaAsSingle(2);
float y = OSCParaAsSingle(3);
ProcessPosition(id,alive,x,y); // user function
OSCNext(); //release current message, go to next one
program finalisation
OSCClose(); //closes the OSC connection
List of functions

Hungwe people are a tribe found across Zimbabwe and believed to be the earliest Bantu-speaking inhabitants of modern day Zimbabwe who settled in Southern Africa as early as 500 A.D. and whose arrival was only preceded by the San and Khoi Khoi.
To this day, Hungwe people remain connected by the common bond of the Fish Eagle (Hungwe/Nyoni/Shiri/Mutisi) totem which transcends tribal, linguistic, cultural and geographical boundaries. The Hungwe people cannot be classified into a single tribal grouping as they have inter-married and assimilated into other tribes over centuries. Today, Hungwe people are classified along the main tribal and linguistic groupings of Karanga (Hungwe; Shiri), Kalanga (Nyoni), Ndebele (Nyoni), Ndau (Mutisi), Nambiya and Tonga (Nyoni).
Descendants of the Hungwe tribe are today found geographically concentrated in Somabhula, Filabusi, Mberengwa and Gwanda areas where they speak isiNdebele; Masvingo, Shurugwi and Zvishavane areas where they speak ChiKaranga, Plumtree, Bulilima and Mangwe areas where they speak ChiKalanga, the Zambezi Valley areas of Hwange, Binga and Dande where they speak ChiNambiya and Chitonga; and the Chipinge and Chimanimani areas in the east of Zimbabwe where they speak ChiNdau. Beyond the borders of Zimbabwe, Hungwe descendants are believed to be found among the BaVenda in South Africa, BaKalanga in Botswana, BaTonga in Zambia, and Ndau, Manyika and Shangaan in Mozambique.
The praise song of the totem goes:
"Mazvita Hungwe; Matapatira; Zienda nomudenga; Pasi yakatyendove; Mudyanavana; Kunyima vanazvinoshura; Vedotojena; Vakadzi kuvarume vavo; Chasuranebanga … kunovava; … nebheura;... eshumba; Muranda we…; Shiri isina shura nemunhu; Vachifamba nomudenga; VokwaChinobhururuka; Maita Shiri; Chivara; Maoko mavi, Shiri iri Hungwe."

Scientists who are changing the way we understand the world tell New Scientist CultureLab their favourite places to seek inspiration and reflect
IT MAY be called The Museum of Jurassic Technology, but the mixture of the bona fide and fantastical celebrated in the Culver City, California, venue makes it feel more like "a large installation artwork" to Alison Gopnik. "I've recently been exploring the links between the kinds of scientific imagination that enable us to construct radically new theories of the world and the kind of fertile fictive imagination that is ubiquitous in very young children's pretend play. This museum perfectly captures that exploratory human drive we see so clearly in both young children and scientists."

Divisor Drips and
Square Root Waves
Prime Numbers are the Holes in
Complex Composite Number Patterns
4. Fantabulous Parabolas
Parabolas appear often in the physical world, and also in mathematical visualizations, such as what we have just seen in the previous chapter. Parabolas appear when you plot a graph of the subdivision of sine waves into integer-number frequencies, like the harmonics in a guitar string, vibrating in halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, and so-on.
A big surprise came when I started building the divisor plot on a computer, and could see the divisors of larger numbers. Looking closely at the square root boundary, I started to make out a series of parabolas, by connecting nearby dots. These parabolas are kind of like the cross-sections of compressed, folded pieces of lettuce in a Dagwood sandwich ... or the curved edges of a folded blanket.
Parabolas in the divisor plot represent a special view into the world of composite numbers. All parabola vertices point from left to right (from smaller numbers to larger numbers).
Upon first discovering these parabolas, one gets the intuitive sense that something interesting might be going at in these locations. It is almost as if an infinite series of fingers along the square root boundary are saying, "look here, look here!"
So let's look at these "square root parabolas". They are infinitely nested, and their vertices run along the square root boundary. Below is an example of the square root parabola located at x=100, and y=10 (the square root of 100).
I will refer to the entire set of square root parabolas as P, and I will refer to individual parabolas with the value n, an integer that can range from 1 to infinity. Here is an equation that I came up with to describe the curve of any square root parabola Pn:
x = (n/2)2 - (y - n/2 )2
In this equation, y ranges from 0 to n. Consider this as an exponential Diophantine equation (an algebraic curve that uses only integers). It defines a set of lattice points that correspond to sets of divisors, numbered 1 to n, as shown below. It appears as if the entire set P fully tessellates the divisor plot: it intersects every divisor. Every divisor pair is a member of one and only one square root parabola. This is illustrated in the image below showing P1 through P8, indicated with straight lines connecting the ordinal series of divisors that lie on them.
The arms of each parabola Pn stretch out to the left, intersecting the zero divisor drip at (0,0) and (0, n). Notice how each even-numbered Pn has a perfect square root divisor located at its vertex. Each odd-numbered Pn, on the other hand, does not have a single divisor but instead has a pair of divisors slightly to the left of where the vertex would lie. These two divisors have a difference of 1. That means their product is a pronic number: a number that has two divisors with a difference of one. Thus, the first three pronics, (2, 6, and 12), are represented here (not including 0, which can be expressed as 0 x 1).
All Pn have the same overall parabola shape. But due to their x locations on the lattice, even and odd-numbered Pn exhibit different spacing in x between their divisors, as shown here.
An Observation about Square Numbers
Fibonacci observed that square numbers can be constructed as sums of consecutive odd numbers. Look again at the even-numbered parabola I just showed you. The x-spacing between divisor pairs corresponds to the series of odd numbers, counting from right to left.
Suppose that the vertex of this parabola were located at (100, 10). If you work leftwards from the vertex, and add the odd numbers shown, you get a series of squares: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, etc. Now, subtract each of these square numbers from 100. Subtract 1 from 100, and you get 99, which is the x value for the pair immediately to the left of the vertex. Subtract 4, and you get 96, which is the x value for the pair immediately to the left of that. Subtract 9 and you get 91... And so-on. Subtracting each of these square numbers from the x value of the vertex results in the x values for each pair of divisors on the parabola. Since we know that P represents a set of composite numbers, we arrive at the following general conclusion:
Take any square number x, and then take each square number less than x and subtract it from x. All the numbers in this set (but not necessarily the lowest) are composite.
Constant Sums
Rob Sacks (whose number spiral we will visit soon [9]) observed that all divisor pairs in a square root parabola Pn have the same sum. This was a creative leap: instead of focusing on multiplication, what about addition? Not only did he observe that the divisors have the same sum, but in fact the sums are all equal to the parabola's index, n. This leads to one definition of a square root parabola: "a square root parabola Pn is the curve which intersects all divisor pairs in the divisor plot whose sums equal n."
I tested to see if any other divisor pairs besides those on the parabola have the same sum, and it appears that there are none. And so, my hypothesis is that a square root parabola contains the only divisor pairs with this constant sum. Therefore, a square root parabola Pn can be defined more simply as: "the set of conjugate divisors in the divisor plot whose sum is n". One test I did is illustrated below, with parabola P48, whose vertex is located at (576, 24). The illustration highlights numerals for the divisor pairs whose sums equal 96 (which is 48 x 2). The image is greatly stretched vertically to make it easier to see.
Properties of Divisor Pairs on Square Root Parabolas
The illustration below shows divisors near the vertex of P128, located at (4096, 64). Notice how divisor pairs to the left of the vertex converge towards the square root boundary as they get closer, and that there are no divisor pairs immediately to the right. We will confront this mystery later on.
The illustration below shows P2 through P8. Below them are symbols representing the products of the divisor pairs on these parabolas.
Each symbol in this illustration is a rectangular array of blocks, where the number of blocks is equal to the product. These symbols illustrate the idea of a rectangular number. The number of columns in the array equals the divisor on the top arm of the parabola, and the number of rows equals the divisor on the bottom arm of the parabola. The number of columns and rows is equal in the case of square numbers.
For example, the rectangular number 12 is shown as occurring on P7 and P8. The associated symbols show two of the three ways to express 12 (2x6 and 3x4). (The third way, 1x12, occurs on P13, which is not included in this illustration). This illustration may help give insight as to why these parabolas exist. The answer may have to do with the possible ways to arrange these blocks into rectangular arrays. Note that primes can only be represented in single-column, and that their divisors are always the second pair occurring at the left edge of a parabola (after the pair occurring at x=0).
Approaching Squareness at Infinity
As we observe the regions near the vertices of Pn at higher n, we see that their divisor pairs converge towards a ratio of 1. Since all Pn have the same shape, divisor pairs of numbers which are one-less than perfect squares converge towards "squareness", as n increases. For instance, compare the numbers 35 and 18,768, both of which are followed by a square number. Their closest divisors pairs are (5,7), and (136,138), respectively, as shown below.
Even though each pair has a difference of 2, the ratios of those pairs are 0.714 and 0.985. Another way to express this is to refer to the rectangular arrays in the previous illustration. The rectangular arrays representing these pairs will appear more square in proportion at higher n.
As an oak grows from a tiny sapling to a giant adult tree, the roots sink deeper into the soil and become longer. This is similar to what happens in the divisor plot. As n increases, the square root parabola series sinks lower and lower into the soil of divisors.
But trees have many many roots. And alas, so does the divisor plot: the square root boundary is not the only parabola-rich place in the divisor plot. As we delve deeper and rightward along the divisor plot, the roots accumulate in number and they sink deeper.
Those "look here" fingers we saw earlier are pointing all over the place. In the next chapter, we will look

What is triparty repo?
What is triparty repo?
Tri-Party repo is a financial market instrument where a repo transaction between two parties is administered by a triparty agent which is a licensed financial institution. According to the RBI, "Tri-party repo is a type of repo contract where a third entity (apart from the borrower or lender), called a Tri-Party Agent, acts as an intermediary between the two parties to the repo to facilitate services like collateral selection, payment and settlement, custody and management during the life of the transaction."
In the case of triparty repo, 'an investor places its money with a custodian bank, which in turn lends it to another institution, and then assets are pledged as collateral for the loan.'
The RBI has notified the introduction of triparty repo in India in its April 11, 2017, Draft Directions. The triparty repo is a financial market instrument like the market repo and not like the Central Bank repo (RBI's repo). This means that it may not have a monetary policy significance rather will have financial market significance.
The role of the triparty agent
The differentiating factor in the case of triparty repo, from the market repo is the presence of the third party which is known as triparty agent. In the case of usual market repo, there is not such an entity.
Job of the triparty agent is to administer the transaction between the lender and the borrower. Here, the agent does some post-trade processing-collateral selection, payment and settlement, custody and management during the life of the transaction. Actually, the tri-party agents are custodian banks who have the license to do the activity at the insistence of the central bank.
Once a lender or borrower notifies about transactions, the agent matches the transaction amount, conditions and, if successful, processes the transaction. The agent automatically select from the securities account of the seller, sufficient collateral that satisfies the credit and liquidity criteria set by the buyer.
Besides initiating the deal, the tri-party agent continues to manage the transaction by making revaluation of the collateral, margining, making income payments on the collateral etc.
The triparty agent doesn't change the relationship between the parties, and he does not participate in the risk of transactions. In case of default by one party, the impact still falls entirely on the other party. This means that the level of involvement of the agent is less.
RBI's Draft Tri-Party Repo Directions, 2017
RBI has issued a draft direction about the launch of triparty repo. The direction contains:
 - the eligibility of collateral under the triparty repo,
 - eligibility of participant institutions,
 - eligibility of triparty agents,
 - tenor (time period),
 - settlements etc.
What is simple about the collateral eligibility and participant's eligibility is that instruments and institutions in the existing corporate debt market and G-Sec market are eligible.
A. Eligibility of collateral (these are contained in the market repo guidelines and corporate debt security guidelines by the RBI).
Eligible collateral for tri-party repo shall be securities under repo directions.
1. Government Securities
i) Repo transactions may be undertaken in i) Dated securities and Treasury Bills issued by the Government of India and ii) Dated securities issued by the State Governments.
2. Corporate securities
 1. Listed corporate debt securities of original maturity of more than one year which are rated 'AA' or above
 2. Commercial Papers (CPs), Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of original maturity upto one year which are rated A2 or above.
 3. Bonds which are rated 'AA' or above, which are issued by multilateral financial institutions like the World Bank Group (e.g., IBRD, IFC), the Asian Development Bank or the African Development Bank and other such entities as may be notified by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time.
B. Participants
Participants in the existing (i) Market Repo Transactions in Government Securities Market and (ii) Corporate Debt Securities Repo market are generally eligible to participate in the Triparty Repo market as well. Detailed participation criteria is mentioned in the Draft.
C. Trading Venue: Tri-party repo can be traded Over-the-counter (OTC) including on electronic platforms.
D. Reporting of Trades: All tri-party repos shall be reported within 15 minutes of the trade to the tri-party agent.
E. Tenor, Settlement, Haircut and Disclosures: The tenor, settlement mechanism, minimum haircut, and disclosure requirements for tri-party repos will be identical to those applicable to normal repos, in terms of RBI directions or as permitted by RBI.
F. Tri-Party Agent: Eligible Tri-Party Agents are:
A. All tri-party agents need authorization from RBI to act in that capacity, before they commence operations.
B. Scheduled commercial banks are eligible to be tri-party agents.
C. Other entities regulated by RBI or SEBI subject to meeting the following criteria
