JavaFX Tutorial - JavaFX Button
The JavaFX Button class can trigger event when a user clicks a button.
The Button class extends the Labeled class, which can display text, an image, or both.
The following code shows how to add Click action listener to Button.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
 //from w w w.j av a 2s . c o m
public class Main extends Application {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 launch(args);
 }
 @Override
 public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
 primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
 Button btn = new Button();
 btn.setText("Say 'Hello World'");
 btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
 System.out.println("Hello World!");
 }
 });

 StackPane root = new StackPane();
 root.getChildren().add(btn);
 primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
 primaryStage.show();
 }
}
The code above generates the following result.

Creating a Button
We use the following constructors to create a Button in JavaFX.
To create a button with an empty text caption.
Button button = new Button();
To create a button with the specified text.
Button button = new Button("OK");
To create a button with the text and icon.
Image imageOk = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("OK.png"));
Button button = new Button("OK", new ImageView(imageOk));
Button Content
After creating a JavaFX Button object we can use the following methods to set text and install an icon.
 - setText(String text) - set the text caption for the button
 - setGraphic(Node graphic) - set the icon
Other than ImageView object we can use shapes from the javafx.scene.shape package as the graphic element in a Button.
setGraphicTextGap method to set the gap between text and graphical content.
The following code installs an image to a button.
Image okImage = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("OK.png"));
button.setGraphic(new ImageView(okImage));
Button Action
We can use the setOnAction method from the Button class to add click event handler for user-click event.
button.setOnAction((ActionEvent e) -> {
 System.out.println("clicked");
});
Button Effects
We can apply the effects in the javafx.scene.effect package to a button.
The following code applies the DropShadow effect to a button.
DropShadow shadow = new DropShadow();
button.setEffect(shadow);
button.setEffect(null);//remove the effect
The following code shows how to Set Shadow effect for Button.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.effect.DropShadow;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
// ww w .jav a 2 s . c om
public class Main extends Application {
 DropShadow shadow = new DropShadow();
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 launch(args);
 }
 @Override
 public void start(Stage stage) {
 Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
 stage.setTitle("Button Sample");
 stage.setWidth(300);
 stage.setHeight(190);
 VBox vbox = new VBox();
 vbox.setLayoutX(20);
 vbox.setLayoutY(20);
 final Button button1 = new Button("Accept");
 button1.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ENTERED,
 new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
 button1.setEffect(shadow);
 }
 });
 button1.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_EXITED,
 new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
 @Override
 public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
 button1.setEffect(null);
 }
 });
 vbox.getChildren().add(button1);
 vbox.setSpacing(10);
 ((Group) scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(vbox);
 stage.setScene(scene);
 stage.show();
 }
}
The code above generates the following result.
null
Button Style
We can use CSS styles to change the button look and feel.
We define styles in a separate CSS file and apply the CSS file by using the getStyleClass method.
The following code is a CSS file which changes the button font and color.
.button1{
 -fx-font: 30 arial;
 -fx-base: #ee2211;
}
Then we use the following code to install the CSS.
button.getStyleClass().add("button1");
The -fx-font property sets the font name and size for button1. The -fx-base property overrides the default color.
The following code shows how to use CSS to change the look of a Button.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/* w ww . j a v a2 s . c om*/
public class Main extends Application {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 launch(args);
 }
 @Override
 public void start(Stage stage) {
 Scene scene = new Scene(new Group());
 stage.setWidth(300);
 stage.setHeight(190);
 VBox vbox = new VBox();
 vbox.setLayoutX(20);
 vbox.setLayoutY(20);
 Button button1 = new Button("Accept");
 button1.setStyle("-fx-font: 30 arial; -fx-base: #ee2211;");
 vbox.getChildren().add(button1);
 vbox.setSpacing(10);
 ((Group)scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(vbox);
 stage.setScene(scene);
 stage.show();
 }
}
The code above generates the following result.

Uganda is made up of numerous tribes, each with their own set of traditions and rituals. A SunTrack Adventures' cultural tours in Uganda gives personal insight into some of the 56 different native tribes, their beliefs and their traditions.
Although, most of our cultural experiences are visiting authentic remote villages, the cities and townships of Uganda represent a unique culture of its own. Each metropolis represents an interesting blend of cultures and ethnic creeds that is reflected in the architecture, food, art, clothing and much more.
More importantly, many of the indigenous people in Uganda face great pressure from the modern world. SunTrack Adventures cultural tours in Uganda help raise awareness about their challenges, as well as the vital role they play in Africa. Additionally, a portion of the fees collected by your safari accommodation in Uganda during your Ugandan wilderness safari activities are dedicated to the local communities for education, health and special projects to improve the quality of life.
We arrange a cultural tours to local villages where you witness an authentic way of life that exists in few places in today's world. You are welcomed into a traditional home to observe meal preparation, familial structure and ancient practices. The itineraries are culturally-sensitive so that your visit has little to no impact on the village and people.
You can also see fascinating & interesting cultural artifacts at the culture museums. When visiting Uganda – there is more to be seen and done than the classic game drives. One of the often overlooked highlights of a safari in Uganda is undoubtedly the opportunity to interact with the diverse cultures that call Uganda home.

The historical evolution of Český Krumlov gardens and parks in the reign of the first two generations of the princes of Schwarzenberg in the years 1719 - 1782 (Baroque and Rococo period)
After the arrival of the Schwarzenberg dynasty in Český Krumlov in 1719, the Novoměstská garden, also called the kitchen garden, rapidly lost its importance. This was not only due to the remoteness of the garden from the castle, but mainly to the vicinity of new gardens to the princely brewery. Also, already from the year 1726, some parts of the garden were assigned to court officials as payment for similar gardens. Still, the arrangement of the garden was preserved, the old fig tree orchard was repaired as well as one arbour, and in addition a new glasshouse was built for growing subtropical plants.
The north field in front of the castle (the local name Deer Garden is substantiated with documents already in the 18th century) was used as a game park for breeding large game. The entire surface of the Deer Gardens was enclosed by walls. The eastern part of the garden had a predominant meadow character, disturbed only by a few groups of bank vegetation along the Chvalšinský brook. The surface of the former Renaissance Gardens on the island was enclosed individually by walls. The grassy inner surface of the garden was obviously planted with fruit trees.
In the period of the rule of prince Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg (1719 - 1732) the seigniorial gardens changed to suit the spirit of the Baroque. The Baroque stage of the evolution of the castle gardens is represented by the landscaping of the lower parterre in a way known to us from a 1750 plan. The composition of the garden indicates that its creators were familiar with the early Baroque gardens in Germany; the lower parterre with its division mainly continues in the tradition of the German examples. For instance the court garden at the residence of the Bavarian duke Wittelsbach in Munchen, the garden at the residence of the duke of Würtenberg in the castle of Ludwigsburg, the garden in Herrenhausen included a similar compositional plan (a quadrangle divided by perpendicular axises and diagonals). From the contemporary garden dispositions in the Czech lands, it is necessary to mention the Květná garden of the Olomouc archbishop at Kroměříž.
Another advanced Baroque element in the composition of a garden is the use of high hornbeam lanes along the side paths to increase the axiality of the garden disposition, further brodery parterres and the accentuation of the connection of the diagonal axises of the garden to the open landscape with the help of lookout windows, placed in the enclosing wall of the garden.
The Český Krumlov prelates arranged their gardens in the Baroque spirit as well. The veduta of Český Krumlov on the antependium from Cross Hill from the period around 1740 shows on the south front of the prelatura (Horní no. 155) a monumental Baroque balcony placed on the garden terrace. Four profiled columns, between which is a balustrade, carried a roof in the shape of a baldaquine. From the balcony a view unfolds onto the garden of the Jesuits on the other bank of the Vltava and on the silhouette of the pilgrim's chapel of the Virgin Mary on Cross Hill (the chapel on Cross Hill in Český Krumlov).
In addition to this, the balcony also offered a view onto the second prelate garden at Horní Brána, belonging to the Krumlov parish since 1406. It is precisely in this one that a Baroque garden arbour was built in 1740, which formed next to Cross Hill, a second focal point for the view from the prelatura. During the wars for the Austrian inheritance in the year 1741, some of the Český Krumlov gardens were considerably damaged. For instance the French soldiers pulled down the "long passage" (connecting corridor) above the Plášťový (Cloak) bridge. A damage to the court gardens can also be supposed.
The rule of prince Josef Adam of Schwarzenberg (1741 - 1782) meant a further period of bloom for the Český Krumlov castle. The entire collection of castle buildings and gardens underwent a modification in the style of the Viennese Rococo. The young prince started his activities in Český Krumlov with the construction of the winter riding school in the years 1744 - 1746. In the same period the adaptations of the interior of the Bellarie summerhouse and the repairs to the castle pond were in progress. After 1750, the Český Krumlov castle garden changed into the Viennese Rococo style. This period is mainly associated with the names of the architect Andreas Altomont and the sculpture Jan Antonín Zinner. During the reign of prince Josef Adam of Schwarzenberg the Český Krumlov castle garden reached, in its Baroque stage, a peak within the bounds of its entire historical evolution.
In that time also both seigniorial kitchen gardens (today's Novoměstská garden and the castle supply gardens were intensively used and a large number of reports originate from the middle of the 18th century about the construction of hotbeds, greenhouses and orangeries. The contemporary inventories document the rich assortment of grown exotic plants. At the same time the Český Krumlov Minorites furnished their garden with garden constructions. Shortly after the modifications to the summerhouse Bellaria in the castle garden, a Rococo garden pavillon was built in the year 1758 in the Minorite garden of the Minorite monastery gardens. The princely builder Josef Fortini evidently took part in the construction as author.
In the second half of the 18th century, the still fundamentally medieval appearance of the outskirts of the town began to be significantly modified by the Schwarzenberg economic activities. At Nové město town a seed emerged of the later industrial area in this part of the town. In 1769, construction was finished of the lower princely rechls, opposite the new town's bastion. A part of the burgher gardens on the left banks of the Vltava, two ice storages and evidently also a part of the grafting fields, the lower seigniorial gardens (the (gardens of the former Clarissian convent) in front of the town fortification moat, were victims of the construction of a storehouse for float logs in the vicinity.
In the year 1773 the Jesuit order was dissolved, the college (Horní no. 154) was transformed into barracks, and the wooden bridge over the Vltava was removed. In 1779 the entire territory of the gardens with the summer residence (Hotel Gold - Plešivec no. 55) was bought by the rich burgher Johann Pinsker. The Jesuit garden became a utility garden and the grounds, hitherto undivided, were gradually parceled out. On the outskirts of the former Jesuit grounds the town hospital of St. Elizabeth emerged in 1782, situated next to the already older poorhouse (mentioned in 1638), forming the view ending the present Linecká street.

SEE BELOW FOR DESCRIPTION
K002972 EM/NCO'S HBT TROPICAL WORK/DRILL JACKET.(Arbeits/Drillich Bluse)
BACKGROUND: German Naval uniforms and headgear were based on traditional designs that date back to the creation of the Prussian Navy in 1848, and although the uniforms and headgear did evolve during the interim years, many items used during the Third Reich would still have been quite recognizable to the Imperial sailor. The white work/drill uniform was originally introduced into the Prussian Navy and was carried over into the Reichsmarine and eventually the Kriegsmarine with minor variations. The white work/drill uniform for EM and Junior NCO ranks consisted of a white shirt and pants for EMís and a white shirt, jacket and pants for the Junior NCOís and was utilized as the standard uniform for shipboard, barracks and infantry drill duties. Regulations of February 5TH 1940 discontinued issue of the white work/drill shirt for Junior NCOís to be replaced with the blue jumper shirt. Of Note: In 1940 a field-grey version of the work/drill uniform was introduced which was also used as a summer duty uniform. Although the colors white and field-grey were the official colors other colors were also utilized on a limited basis. Originally enlisted personnel didnít wear any insignia on the work/drill tunics but NCOís did. After 1940 when the work/drill uniforms were utilized as a summer duty uniform EMís also began wearing insignia on them. In late 1941 or early 1942 the work/drill jackets were modified with the addition of breast pockets.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A 1942 pattern, tan, cotton/rayon blend construction tunic with an HBT, (Herring Bone Twill), weave features a vertical, six button, front closure with a single, metal, hook and eye positioned at the forward neckline and a stand-up collar. The tunic has two, unpleated, patch, hip pockets and two pleated breast pocket. The tunic has straight cut, non-adjustable sleeves with dual-ply, hemmed cuffs. Loops for attachment of shoulder straps. The interior breast panel is well marked with a black inkstamped RB number and additional numerals. Of Note: The RB numbers, Reichsbetriebnummer, (National factory code numbers), were introduced in late 1942 and were intended to replace the manufacturers marks on garments and equipment to conceal the manufactures name and location from the allies, to prevent bombing raids on German industrial factories. The front closure buttons are the olive drab washed, stamped alloy type with no anchors. The front closure buttons are the removable type secured by steel "S" rings. The tunic is roughly size 38" chest. Near mint!

This small building was constructed circa 1820 and served as a stopover for a stagecoach route that passed through Danville. Nathaniel Webster, the third cousin to Daniel Webster and the town's first postmaster, operated the post office from this building. Passengers could buy refreshments at this location while their horses rested and carriages repaired. Early customer accounts remain intact, written on the wall. The history of this stagecoach stop demonstrates the importance of the stagecoach for travel, commerce, and mail delivery.
This building was a stagecoach stop operated by Nathaniel Webster, a cousin of Daniel Webster, throughout most of the 19th century. Nathaniel was the first designated postmaster of Danville (then Hawke), from 1825 to 1836. Webster conducted postal operations from his homestead, and maintained a small general store in this small building. Town history describes it as being a layover for scheduled stagecoach routes passing through Danville and delivering the mail, where coach passengers could buy refreshments and provisions while the horses were being rested, watered and fed in the adjoining stable.
The stable was removed and reconstructed elsewhere in the 1980s. Thanks to local preservationists, the stagecoach building remains essentially as it was built, providing a snapshot of the site of the first recorded postal activity in town, as well as a facet of early public transportation in a by-gone era. It is possible, although not confirmed, that the building may be the last remaining of such structures in New Hampshire in its original state.

The K850WM is a compact, bench-top instrument designed to critical point dry a complete 6"/150 mm wafer. A convenient wafer holder allows rapid transfer and ensures that pre-drying does not occur.
- 170 mm diameter chamber - optimised for wafer/MEMS drying
- Vertical chamber with top-loading and bottom draining - ensures specimens do not become uncovered during drying
- Thermoelectric heating - accurate temperature control
- Fine control needle valve pressure let down - precise control
- Temperature monitoring and control with thermal cut-out protection
- Pressure monitoring with safety cut-out for over pressure
- Three-year warranty
K850WM Large Chamber Critical Point Dryer
The K850WM has built-in heating and water cooling using the E4860 Recirculating Heater/Chiller. This combination will give temperature control of +5°C cooling and +35°C during heating. This ensures the critical point is accurately obtained and avoids excess pressures and temperatures or the need to rely on pressure relief valves to control pressure during the heating cycle.
The K850WM has a vertical chamber which allows top-loading of the specimen (e.g. single wafer). A viewing port in the top plate allows observation of the chamber and wafer during the critical point drying process.
The exchange mechanism is simple to use and ensures the specimen remains under liquid during loading.
The E4860 Recirculating Heater/Chiller and EK3102/EK3102-110V carbon dioxide conditioning system must be ordered with the K850WM.
A second alternative is the model E4860 Recirculating Heater/Chiller which can be used to pre-cool the chamber to below ambient temperature prior to loading specimens and then to heat the chamber to the critical temperature.


Africa's Poison 'Apple' Provides Common Ground For Saving Elephants, Raising Livestock
June 24, 2014
Princeton University
While African wildlife often run afoul of ranchers and pastoralists securing food and water resources for their animals, the interests of fauna and farmer might finally be unified by the "Sodom apple," a toxic invasive plant that has overrun vast swaths of East African savanna and pastureland.
Should the ominous reference to the smitten biblical city be unclear, the Sodom apple, or Solanum campylacanthum, is a wicked plant. Not a true apple, this relative of the eggplant smothers native grasses with its thorny stalks, while its striking yellow fruit provides a deadly temptation to sheep and cattle.
New research suggests, however, that certain wild African animals, particularly elephants, could be a boon to human-raised livestock because of their voracious appetite for the Sodom apple. A five-year study led by Princeton University researchers found that elephants and impalas, among other wild animals, can not only safely gorge themselves on the plant, but can efficiently regulate its otherwise explosive growth, according to a report in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Without elephants ripping the plant from the ground, or impalas devouring dozens of its fruits at a time, the shrub easily conquers the landscape.
Just as the governments of nations such as Kenya prepare to pour millions into eradicating the plant, the findings present a method for controlling the Sodom apple that is cost-effective for humans and beneficial for the survival of African elephants, explained first author Robert Pringle, a Princeton assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
"The Holy Grail in ecology is these win-win situations where we can preserve wildlife in a way that is beneficial to human livelihoods," Pringle said. Similarly, Princeton researchers published two studies in 2011 that showed that allowing livestock to graze with wild animals such as zebras greatly improved the quality of the domesticated animals' diet.
"It's a nice example of how conservation needn't be about sacrifice. It often is — let's be honest. But there are situations where you can get a win-win," Pringle said. "This opens the door for people whose main interest is cattle to say, 'Maybe I do want elephants on my land.' Elephants have a reputation as destructive, but they may be playing a role in keeping pastures grassy."
Elephants and impalas can withstand S. campylacanthum's poison because they belong to a class of herbivores known as "browsers" that subsist on woody plants and shrubs, many species of which pack a toxic punch, Pringle said. On the other hand, "grazers" such as cows, sheep and zebras primarily eat grass, which is rarely poisonous. These animals easily succumb to the Sodom apple. A 2011 study on sheep published in the journal Kenya Veterinarian showed that the plant caused emphysema, pneumonia, bleeding ulcers, brain swelling and death, among other effects.
As more African savanna is converted into pasture, the proliferation of the Sodom apple may only get worse, Pringle said, which means that the presence of elephants to eat it may become more vital to the ecosystem and livestock. The Sodom apple thrives on ecological mayhem, such as the stress of overgrazing put on the land, Pringle said: "Typically, people will overload the land with more cattle than it can support. Then they remove the animals that eat the plant."
Ricardo Holdo, a savanna ecologist and assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Missouri, said that the researchers present enough data to potentially determine the amount of pastureland that wild Sodom-apple eaters would be able to keep free of the noxious plant. Holdo, who is familiar with the research but had no role in it, said that beyond removing the Sodom apple, animals such as elephants and impalas could potentially increase the food available to cattle. This is a departure from the conventional view in Africa that livestock and wild animals compete for the same scarce resources, he said.
"There is enough quantitative information in this paper that they can probably model this effect in a meaningful way," Holdo said. "When you add the wild [herbivores], they have a negative effect on the Solanum, so they're actually promoting a higher biomass of high-quality habitat for livestock. So, it's a win-win in the sense that you're creating a situation in which you can both have livestock and wild animals, and probably actually increase your yield for livestock."
The researchers report that they have presented one of the first studies to examine "functional redundancy" in land animals. Functional redundancy refers to the situation in which one species declines or goes extinct and another species steps in to fulfill the same ecological role. This consideration helps ecologists predict the overall effect of extinction on an entire ecosystem. In this case, the effect of large mammals such as elephants and impalas on the Sodom apple population — and perhaps the populations of other plants — is unlikely to be duplicated by another animal species, the researchers found.
"That's an important question because some species are quite vulnerable to extinction and others aren't," Pringle said. "The ones that go first tend to be the biggest, or the tastiest, or the ones with ivory tusks. We're trying to gauge how the world is changing, and we need to understand to what extent these threatened animals have unique ecological functions."
The majority of studies on functional redundancy have been conducted in aquatic systems because large land animals can be hard to control in an experiment, Holdo said. The Princeton-led study is made more robust by being unusually long by ecology standards, he said — the researchers observed similar patterns year after year.
"A big part of the reason we don't understand functional redundancy very well in terrestrial ecosystems is because it's difficult to manipulate land species," he said. "Doing these experiments in the kind of environment like you have in Kenya is really challenging — keeping elephants out of anything is really a huge challenge."
An unexpected feast: Elephants, impalas and a taste for Solanum
Pringle was roughly three years into a study about the effects of elephants on plant diversity when he noticed that the Sodom apple was conspicuously absent from some experiment sites. He and other researchers had set up 36 exclosures — which are designed to keep animals out rather than in — totaling nearly 89 acres (36 hectares) at the Mpala Research Center in Kenya, a multi-institutional research preserve with which Princeton has been long involved. There were four types of exclosure: one type open to all animals; another where only elephants were excluded; one in which elephants and impalas were excluded; and another off limits to all animals.
It was in the sites that excluded elephants and impala that the Sodom apple particularly flourished, Pringle said, which defied everything he knew about the plant.
"This study was really fortuitous. I had always thought that these fruits were horrible and toxic, but when I saw them in the experiment, I knew some animal was otherwise eating them. I just didn't know which one," Pringle said. "The question became, 'Who's eating the apple?' It's a very interesting and simple question, but once you get the answer it raises a lot of other questions."
Using the exclosures established for the original experiment, Pringle and his co-authors used cameras to document the zest with which wild African browsers will eat S. campylacanthum. Pringle worked with Corina Tarnita, a Princeton mathematical biologist and assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, as well as with collaborators from the University of Wyoming, the University of Florida, the University of California-Davis, the Mpala Center and the University of British Columbia.
The researchers specifically observed the foraging activity of elephants, impalas, small-dog-sized antelopes known as dik-diks, and rodents. They captured about 30,000 hours of foraging using cameras they had focused on particular plants. The researchers also marked several hundred Sodom-apple fruit to track how many were eaten, and measured the average height, mortality and reproducibility of Sodom-apple plants in all the exclosures.
The Sodom apple proliferated with each group of animal that was excluded. At one point, the plant's density was three-times greater in areas restricted to all animals than those that permitted all of them, the researchers report. In February 2011, the researchers counted an average of less than one fruit per plant in the exclosure open to all animals, meaning that nearly every fruit produced by the plants was being consumed. In the plots closed to elephants, that average increased to three fruits per plant. When both impala and elephants were kept away, the average jumped to around 50 fruits per plant, and fruits were more likely to be eaten by insects rather than dik-diks or rodents.
There is a catch to the elephants' and impalas' appetite for the Sodom apple: When fruit goes in one end, seeds come out the other. Though some seeds are destroyed during digestion, most reemerge and are potentially able to germinate.
Pringle and Tarnita developed a mathematical model to conduct a sort of cost-benefit analysis of how the Sodom apple's ability to proliferate is affected by being eaten. The model weighed the "cost" to the plant of being partially consumed against the potential benefit of having healthy seeds scattered across the countryside in an animal's droppings. They then used the model to determine whether different animal species had an overall positive or negative influence on the population of

Re: The Space Shuttle and the ISS are a Hoax!
To clear up the point Astronut I was trying to tell you that UV light ONLY AFFECTS THE SURFACES OF SOLID OBJECTS. Got it yet? That's why the Moon wouldn't disappear as soon as UV light ionized its surfaces.
The Earth's upper atmosphere is comprised entirely of ionized gas as a result of the Sun's UV light and note the Earth's atmosphere simply doesn't fly off into space because of this!
Looking at your webpage with accompanying space images I couldn't help noticing you have taken pictures of the Space Shuttle taking off as well as a bald headed eagle! Are you absolutely certain you are not a patriotic NASA fan?
I'm afraid what I viewed through my telescope on numerous occasions cannot be explained away by poor focus or lack of magnification. The focus was checked carefully on each viewing and I could easily see the apparent diameter of the spherical object and calculate its actual diameter to be around 40 metres about the same as quoted for the ISS.
Incidentally could I asked what tracking you used with the moving image you showed us which is allegedly of the ISS? Was it manual or computer driven as the image is a little erratic?

This featured revolver isn't particularly rare; you see a few of them from time to time here in the U.S. It does however have quite a bit of historical significance, especially in Great Britain.
The Webley revolver was designed by the famed British company of Webley & Scott of Birmingham England. It is also known as the Webley Break-Top Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver. The Webley revolver was introduced in 1887 and was made in various marks, or models, until 1963.
During its production this revolver served as the standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the Commonwealth. These revolvers saw action by the British military in the Boer War, WWI, WWII and the Korean War. British police departments issued Webley's as their standard side arms during this time period also.
In 1887 the British Army was searching for a new revolver to replace the largely unsatisfactory .476 Enfield Mk I & Mk II Revolvers. The first Webley revolvers made to replace the Enfield were chambered in .455 Webley. The large caliber revolvers were discontinued in 1947, in lieu of the smaller British .38/200 calibre. This round is basically the same as the American .38 S&W.
The manufacture of Enfield revolvers was stopped around 1889, and they were ultimately retired in 1911. The Webley's official years of service were from 1887 to 1963. The Webley was ultimately replaced by the Browning Hi-Power pistol as the official British Military side arm.
Our featured gun is a MK IV believed manufactured in 1942. It is chambered in the standard .38/200. The #24 marked on the butt may indicate it was used by a police force, but this is claim cannot be documented. The overall condition of this specimen is good to very good. Webley revolvers in this condition sell in the U.S. for about $300 to $400.

This paper presents dynamic programming algorithms for generating optimal guillotine-cutting patterns of equal rectangles. The algorithms are applicable for solving the unconstrained problem where the blank demand is unconstrained, the constrained problem where the demand is exact, the unconstrained problem with blade length constraint, and the constrained problem with blade length constraint. The algorithms are able to generate the simplest optimal patterns to simplify the cutting process. When the sheet length is longer than the blade length of the guillotine shear used, the dynamic programming algorithm is applied to generate optimal layouts on segments of lengths no longer than the blade length, and the knapsack algorithm is employed to find the optimal layout of the segments on the sheet. The computational results indicate that the algorithms presented are more efficient than the branch-and-bound algorithms, which are the best algorithms so far that can guarantee the simplest patterns.
The rectangular cutting stock problem occurs when rectangular sheets in stock are to be cut into smaller rectangles or blanks, to meet a customer's demand,, and. Where the blank area must be no larger than the sheet area, some trim loss is expected. Some customers may need blanks of different sizes. Those involved in mass production may want a large number of blanks of the same size. In the former case, nested layouts are often used and blanks of different sizes may appear in the same layout. In the latter case, only blanks of the same size can appear in a layout. This paper refers to the cutting stock problem of equal rectangles as the CSPER, where guillotine shear is used to cut the sheet into blanks. This type of cutting stock problem is also identified as the guillotine-cutting problem and, or the guillotine pallet loading problem, and is denoted 2/B/O/C of guillotine type. The CSPER in this paper includes four types of problems: the unconstrained problem where the blank demand is unconstrained, the constrained problem where the blank demand must be met exactly, the unconstrained problem with blade length constraint, and the constrained problem with blade length constraint. Several algorithms have been published for the CSPER,,, and. Agrawal presented a branch-and-bound algorithm (BBA) for the unconstrained problem. In reference, the BBA was extended to solve the constrained problem, and the unconstrained problem with blade length constraint. If the memory of the computer used to perform the algorithm is not large enough, the BBA will not guarantee the optimality of the solution. This will be further discussed in presenting the computational results. A polynomial time algorithm was introduced in for the unconstrained problem. The time efficiency of the algorithm is high. The patterns generated are slightly difficult to cut since they are often not the simplest ones. Arslanov constructed a linear time algorithm for the unconstrained problem in. The algorithm has the highest time efficiency. Similarly it does not guarantee that the patterns generated are the simplest ones for cutting. The dynamic programming algorithm was applied to solve the unconstrained problem in. It does not consider the blade length constraint, and neither guarantees the simplicity of the cutting process. This paper presents dynamic programming algorithms to solve the four types of problems mentioned above. First the dynamic programming algorithm for the unconstrained problem is constructed, which can generate the simplest optimal pattern. Then the algorithm is extended to solve the constrained problem. Another two algorithms are introduced to deal with the blade length constraint, one for the unconstrained problem, and the other for the constrained problem. Computations are performed to compare the algorithms with the branch-and-bound algorithms, which are the best so far that can guarantee the simplest optimal patterns. The results indicate that the algorithms of this paper are more efficient.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
Four algorithms based on dynamic programming are presented, which are capable of dealing with four types of problems often encountered in practice: the unconstrained problem, the constrained problem, the unconstrained problem with blade length constraint, the constrained problem with blade length constraint. Algorithm A is the basis of the others. It may generate the simplest optimal patterns, with the cutting process being simplified. This is important to practical applications. Another advantage of the DPA is the easiness to design and understand. Even the engineers may realize the algorithms to solve the CSPER of their factories. Although linear time algorithm exists for the CSPER, it does not guarantee that the pattern generated is the simplest optimal pattern. If the simplest optimal patterns are wanted, the BBA is the best so far. The computational results indicate that for problems of larger scale (such as the test problems of this paper), the DPA is much more time efficient than the BBA.

An exploration into new mechanisms for jacquard weaving, as well as an ongoing interest in asking how non-human materials or forces can be engaged as collaborators resulted in the prototype of the wind loom—a modified tapestry loom that with every 4th warp connected to a sail that moves the warp position in and out. The fabrication of the loom was led by Jen Mah and Rachel Bork, who iterated between several prototypes for laser-cut heddle/hooks that can be attached to the yarn, arms are connected to umbrellas that can move when the wind blows, easily attachable and detachable components to support easy travel, and so on. The prototyping process was complex and frustrating, as the summer in which we prototyped was not very windy and it was hard to test in its specific working conditions we imagined for the loom. Local weaver, and friend, Julie Rodriguez, took the prototype out for a test and captured the photo above. Her approach was to wait for a gust, and then weave into the wind-produced shed with alternating colors that she chose.
The image on the left shows a detail of the arm design and how it connects to the warp yarns. First, a small piece of laser-cut acrylic attaches to the yarn. We cut a small "pig tail" in the acrylic to allow the small rectangular joint to be easily wound on and off the warp. That piece then fits into an arm that pivots around a post along the width of the loom. That arm has a long thin aluminum post attached to the back of it, upon which a we attach umbrellas made with nylon and 3D printed attachment joints. The length of the aluminum post determines the speed a which the umbrella will move. The longer the post, the weaker the wind. We found the weakest wind we could capture was roughly 6 mph. We originally had a second 3D printed joint between the metal post and the umbrella post (seen below) but this added to much weakness into the joint and became unruly in a wind gust. All of our part files and instructions can be found on this Instructables post: _URL_
The back view of the loom during development. We staggered the umbrella height in order to activate certain warps at certain speeds and to also make sure all of the umbrellas could fit into the space.
To prevent the arms from moving in directions not along the direction of the wind, we had to fabricate supporting "tracks" out of acrylic. These held the arms in place without inhibiting their movement (as we found with packing spaces with metal rings.). To help someone easily assemble and disassemble and travel with the loom, we made this track fixed by magnets, which worked well to hold it in place.
Here is a front view of the loom in development, with a bit of a tester tapestry in production based on some hypothetical wind data.
The insights from this is that the machine for weaving with the wind is incredibly frustrating to use. Mostly because the whole apparatus is large and the design of the umbrellas only catches wind traveling in one direction. While I initially considered redesigning to a smaller form, and reworking the umbrella design, I enjoy the idea of this machine being one that invites frustration. If the goal is to collaborate with an uncertain and unpredictable force, maybe frustration is precisely what ought to occur. Maybe it helps us confront our own limitations.
We used a GoPro to capture each step in the process of weaving a smart textile and compiled roughly 6 weeks of work into this video. We show the two tapestries that emerged from this weave, one that didn't work so well and the other that did (see force fabric post below). in both cases, we were attempting to weave structures that could be used to sense force and tigger color changes in response.
This is a first prototype of a vision of a force-fabric. When integrated into a garment, this textile could capture and replay how your body made contact with other bodies in the world. Those bodies may be human, created through the experiences of hugs or holding children, but they may also be of nonhuman forces – heavy winds or couches pressed upon ones back. The concept is to think of ways technology can make us aware of how we are physically supporting and supported by other objects and environmental forces. It sees garments as a interesting surfaces of intersection between self and other.
We created this first textile by double weaving sections of color changing yarn (resistive heating wire painted with a mixture of thermochromic pigments that change at different temperatures) on the front face and then integrating conductive pads on the back or under layer of the fabric. We used a tapestry technique to integrate a second piece of conductive yarn along a segment of the warp above the touchpad such that when it is pressed it completes the circuit. The double weaving structure makes the connective "guts" invisible from the front. Thus, the textile does not invite you to touch and poke it (how would you know where to touch), it simply captures a "picture" of the different press regions.
For those interested in recreating something like this, here are some information to work from. This draft shows the general structure of each touch pad, which leverages the structure of double weave to hide the conductive pads on the back of the fabric and highlight the thermochromic on the top.
Yarn Selection I hand dyed sections of the warp to achieve something ikat-like, largely taking inspiration from documentation of a warp painting class at my local weaving shop. The colors turned out so much darker and astro-pop looking than I was hoping but, luckily, when I mixed them into the warp, they mellowed out. The idea was to make the overall feel of the fabric less square and more painterly. I chose the colors to complement the transition states of the thermochromic yarns.
We used the conductive yarn we had on hand for the sensing (and sadly, we don't know where it came from) but it appears to be entirely made of stainless steel fibers which have been spun. The fibers like to "grab" the other yarns and they feel really nasty in the hand. I did one experiment adding them along the warp, which was a disaster as they grabbed the other yarns creating massive knots during warping and then broke frequently. On the plus side, they are easy to repair by just trying them back together.
We experimented with several methods for creating the color changing yarns. Playing around with combinations that could couple the painted fiber with a heating element. In some cases, we hand-spun the fibers together (shown in the figure below) with a conductive wire (38, 40AWG magnet wire) but that was finicky and prone to breaking.
We had the best results hand painting a cotton covered copper yarn we sourced from wires.co.uk. The thinner the wire, the better the heating. What seems to make this yarn work so well is that the copper inside the cotton covering is uninsulated, so lots of heat travels between the wire and cotton. It also makes for much more pleasant soldering and attaching.
Thermochromic Paint Mixture
We created our final paint mixture by mixing:
3 parts blue thermochromic that activates at 28°C;
1 part red thermochromic that activates at 43°C;
4 parts liquitex clear acryllic gel medium.
We cut lengths of our wire/yarn and then painted by hand. This makes it a little gloopy and uneven, but it works. The transition from purple to red to blue was the most notable in our experiments. The image below shows two different transitions between purple, blue or red, and white. You can see how the pink/red transition is much more visible.
The general structure of the weave puts the thermochromic sections on the top of the fabric while hiding the conductive yarns behind the fabric. The design follows the schematic outlined below:
The general rule of thumb was that one needed two rows of cotton yarn in between a conductive yarn to prevent unintended crossing. Here is a structural view of the yarn paths and draft of the top layer yarn for a SINGLE section of color change:
You can see the black yarn is the cotton, the purple is the thermochromic, and the teal is a second segment of cotton. The thermochromic leads are routed through the "middle" or between the two layers until their are integrated into the visible surface of the yarn.
Here is a draft and yarn paths for the BOTTOM layer that has the press pads. The green is our conductive yarn, the grey is the cotton yarn, and the red is a funny little yarn we call a "warp insertion." basically, it is a yarn we route through the bottom of the weave to reach the center point of the press pad and then manually pull through the warp using a crochet hook. This adds the yarn to the surface while making it very hidden.
Tie Ups Here is a tie up for the pattern. The frame threading is correct but I did lots of improvising on the treadles, so that is not correct for the drafts you see above. I also had to do lots of manipulations by hand.I made this in Excel, which can BARELY handle all of the information. Again, click to make larger.
Next Steps We have created our own smart textiles design software, AdaCAD, that helps immensely with drafting smart textiles. We expect to release this on GitHub once we have it fully integrated and talking to our TC2 loom. It will be released with a GPL license and we would like the community to get involved in development.
With the TC2 loom, we hope to recreate this general structure to create a wearable


IBM-Q states that the real devices available for public use have a set of "basis" gates consisting of u1,u2,u3 and CNOT. However in Qiskit the circuit can be built with many gates which are not directly one of these. For example the controlled u1 gate is an "elementary operation" in QISKit, but it is not a basis gate in for the device.
In order to have such a circuit be executed on a real device these gates must be decomposed into the device's basis gates. I assume this is handled by the compile function.
Is there an easy way in QISKit to see the quantum circuit after this step has taken place?
The function that handles this is transpile(), which could be found in qiskit.compiler. When you call transpile(circuit, backend) it goes through the compilation process for the input circuit based on the backend you provide. It returns a new circuit that will be valid to run on the provided backend.
You can then view this new circuit just like you would with any circuit, either print(circuit) or circuit.draw().

YouTuber blocked for discussing 'black versus white' chess strategy
YouTube's AI blocks channel after allegedly mistaking discussions about CHESS pieces being 'black' and 'white' for racist slurs
 - Chess YouTuber Antonio Radic's channel was blocked for 'harmful' content
 - Radic thinks his discussion of 'black versus white' in chess strategy set off the AI
 - Researchers tested AI software 680,000 comments on YouTube chess channels
 - Over 80 percent of comments marked as hate speech were incorrectly flagged
 - Terms like 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat' seemed to have set off the filters
YouTube's overeager AI might have misinterpreted a conversation about chess as racist language.
Last summer, a YouTuber who produces popular chess videos saw his channel blocked for including what the site called 'harmful and dangerous' content.
YouTube didn't explain why it had blocked Croatian chess player Antonio Radic, also known as 'Agadmator,' but service was restored 24 hours later.
The researchers suggest social-media platforms incorporate chess language into their algorithms to prevent further confusion.

Popular chess YouTuber Antonio Radic had his channel blocked last summer for 'harmful and dangerous' content. He believes the platform's AI mistakenly flagged him for discussing 'black versus white' in a chess conversation
With more than a million subscribers, Agadmator is considered the most popular chess vertical on YouTube.
But on June 28, Radic's channel was blocked after he posted a segment with Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, a five-time champion and the youngest American to earn the title of Grandmaster.
YouTube didn't provide him with a reason for blocking the channel.
In addition to human moderators, YouTube uses AI algorithms to ferret out prohibited content—but if they're not fed the right examples to provide context, those algorithms can flag benign videos.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon tested two top speech classifiers, AI software that can be trained to detect hate speech. More than 80 percent of the comments the programs flagged lacked any racist language, but they did include chess terms like 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat'
Radic's channel was reinstated after 24 hours, leading him to speculate his use of the phrase 'black against white' in the Nakamura was the culprit.
At the time, he was talking about the two opposing sides in a chess game.
Ashiqur R. KhudaBukhsh, a computer scientist at Carnegie Melon's Language Technologies Institute, suspected Radic was right.
'We don't know what tools YouTube uses, but if they rely on artificial intelligence to detect racist language, this kind of accident can happen,' KhudaBukhsh said.
To test his theory, KhudaBukhsh and fellow researcher Rupak Sarkar ran tests on two cutting-edge speech classifiers, AI software that can be trained to detect hate speech.
Radic's channel was blocked for 24 hours after he posted this video, featuring a conversation with Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura
Using the software on over 680,000 comments taken from five popular YouTube chess channels, they found 82 percent of the comments flagged in a sample set didn't include any obvious racist language or hate speech.
Words such as 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat' seemed to have set off the filters, KhudaBukhsh and Sarkar said in a presentation this month at the annual Association for the Advancement of AI conference.
The software's accuracy depends on the examples its given, KhudaBukhsh said, and the training data sets for YouTube's classifiers 'likely include few examples of chess talk, leading to misclassification.'
Radić, 33, started his YouTube channel in 2017 and has more than a millions subscribers. His most popular video, a review of a 1962 match, has garnered more than 5.5 million views
If someone as well-known as Radic is being erroneously blocked, he added, 'it may well be happening quietly to lots of other people who are not so well known.'
 YouTube declined to indicate what caused Radic's video to be flagged, but told Mail Online, 'When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.'
'We also offer uploaders the ability to appeal removals and will re-review the content,' a representative said. 'Agadmator appealed the removal, and we quickly reinstated the video.'
Radić, 33, started his YouTube channel in 2017 and, within a year, its revenue exceeded his day job as a wedding videographer.
'I always loved chess but I live in a small town and there weren't too many people I could talk to about [it],' he told ESPN last year. 'So, starting a YouTube channel kind of made sense.'
His most popular video, a review of a 1962 match between Rashid Nezhmetdinov and Oleg Chernikov, has garnered more than 5.5 million views to date.
COVID lockdowns have sparked a renewed interest in chess: Since March 2020, the server and social network has added roughly 2 million new members a month since the pandemic began, Annenberg Media reported.
The game of kings has also benefited from the popularity of 'The Queen's Gambit,' an acclaimed mini-series about a troubled female chess master that dropped on Netflix in October.

Description - Surrounded by the rugged foothills of the Appalachian Plateau, Tar Hollow State Park and surrounding state forest are characteristic of the wilderness that blanketed Ohio in the days of early settlers. It is a stronghold for many exciting species of wildlife. Numerous reptiles and amphibians, colorful game birds, songbirds and secretive mammals can be found here.
Copyright: Ohio Department of Natural Resources
Tar Hollow State Park
In the 1930s, the Tar Hollow region was purchased for conservation purposes under a New Deal program, the Ross-Hocking Land Utilization Project. People were given a new financial start in life and were encouraged to move to the cities. Most, however, bought more poor ground outside the park and continued to live as they always had.
During the Depression years, the WPA and NYA programs built recreation facilities including the 15-acre Pine Lake and group camp. In 1939, the Ohio Division of Forestry accepted operational control of the land that was then known as Tar Hollow Forest-Park.
When the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was created in 1949, the Division of Parks and Recreation accepted land of several state agencies including the old Division of Forestry. Tar Hollow State Park was developed from the earlier forest. The park, today, is bordered by Tar Hollow State Forest -- Ohio's third largest state forest.
- Tar Hollow State Park offers a campground set amid a wooded hollow near Pine Lake. There are 28 electric sites and 60 non-electric. Both sunny and shaded site are available. The campground is equipped with showers, pit latrines, dump station, and pet sites. A group camp is also available to organized groups. Additionally, five shelters permit camping.
Ross Hollow Hiking Trail, located near the camp, provides foot access to the hills of Tar Hollow. The 21-mile Logan Boy Scout Trail (red blazes) traverses the park and forest. A section of Ohio's Buckeye Trail (blue blazes) also passes through the area. Bridle trails and a horse camp are located on the forest land. A backpack camp is located at the fire tower.
Picnicking is a popular pastime at Tar Hollow. The picnic areas offer excellent scenery and a peaceful setting. Six shelters can be reserved through the park office, while the others are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Pine Lake is a small body of water affording electric motors only. The 15 acres of water surface are perfect for canoeing. Anglers are limited to only two species of fish, bluegill and pan fish. A small launch ramp is located near the 500-foot swimming beach.
Excellent hunting opportunities exist for squirrel, deer, grouse and turkey in the adjacent state forest. A valid Ohio hunting and fishing license is required.
Recreation - Recreations abound at Tar Hollow State Park including activities such as fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, backpacking, miniature golf, picnicking, group and family camping, lake swimming, nature study, and limited boating.
Climate - This state has four distinct seasons and a brilliant fall foliage display in it southern woods during mid October. Winter lasts from December through February with average temperatures near 25 degrees F. Low temperatures dip to single digits, but do not often drop below zero. Northern regions of the state receive average snowfall amounts of 55 inches, while the central and southern regions of the state receive lesser amounts with averages near 30 inches. This difference is caused by lake-affect moisture patterns.
Spring temperatures begin to warm the landscapes of Ohio by mid March and are in full swing by April. Temperatures range from 40 through 70 degrees F through the spring months. This season often brings the most rainfall, before the drying heat of summer. Summer can be extremely hot and humid in the interior of Ohio. Temperatures reach above 90 degrees F frequently through July and August. Cooler fall temperatures don't reach the region until mid to late September. This is a pleasant time to visit as the air is crisp with low humidity levels. Ohio's annual precipitation usually reaches slightly above 50 inches.
The park is located in southeastern Ohio several miles east of Chillicothe off State Route 327.

The insula, a "cortical hub" buried within the lateral sulcus, is involved in a number of processes including goal-directed cognition, conscious awareness, autonomic regulation, interoception, and somatosensation. While some of these processes are well known in the clinical presentation of migraine (i.e., autonomic and somatosensory alterations), other more complex behaviors in migraine, such as conscious awareness and error detection, are less well described. Since the insula processes and relays afferent inputs from brain areas involved in these functions to areas involved in higher cortical function such as frontal, temporal, and parietal regions, it may be implicated as a brain region that translates the signals of altered internal milieu in migraine, along with other chronic pain conditions, through the insula into complex behaviors. Here we review how the insula function and structure is altered in migraine. As a brain region of a number of brain functions, it may serve as a model to study new potential clinical perspectives for migraine treatment.


Measuring distance using the ultrasonic sensor 📏
In many situations, you may need to measure how far an object is away from you, but what if that object is constantly changing its position?
Using the ultrasonic sensor to measure this distance might be an ideal solution in this situation.
In this tutorial we will learn how to use the ultrasonic sensor to measure distance and print the values on your computer!
Overview
The ultrasonic sensor is a device that can measure distance by sending out sound waves and calculating how long it takes for them to bounce back.
It can be used to measure the distance between two objects or to detect whether an object is in the way.
That is why the ultrasonic sensor is often used in robots, as it can help the robot avoid obstacles.

- Arduino VCC pin → ultrasonic sensor VCC pin (+ pin)
- Arduino pin 11 → ultrasonic sensor Trig pin
- Arduino pin 12 → ultrasonic sensor Echo pin
- Arduino GND pin → ultrasonic sensor GND pin (- pin)
Coding
The function of this sketch is to calculate distance using the ultrasonic sensor. It sends a wave and waits for the echo. If there's an object in front of the sensor, it will reflect the wave, and we can measure the time it takes to come back. With that information, we can calculate the distance using an equation based on the speed of sound in air.
The code is basic and does not require any libraries; it will teach you about the sensor and how it works, allowing you to work on more complicated projects.

Testing it out
Now you must have correctly wired the ultrasonic sensor to the Arduino as we explained in the wiring section, as well as uploaded the code to your Arduino board.
You may now access the serial monitor on your Arduino IDE by clicking on the magnifying glass icon at the top right corner.
The serial monitor is a great tool that can facilitate communication between the computer and the Arduino. It can allow us to send and receive different commands as well as view information directly from the Arduino.
As we see in the following image, the serial monitor displays the distance between the sensor and the object. The value is updated and printed every one second because of the delay we determined in our code.
You should also make sure you have chosen the right baud rate (9600) as specified in the code.
You can ensure that the sensor is calibrated and that the value it provides is completely correct by comparing the output with one of the measuring tools, such as a ruler. For example, the speed of sound varies slightly depending on temperature and pressure, so the accuracy of the sensor may differ from the value in the equation that we used.

Never assume aspects of an artist's work are meaningless, especially when it comes to Leonardo da Vinci's doodles.
Until now, art historians had dismissed some doodles in the leading artist and intellectual's notebooks. But now, a new study from Ian Hutchings, a professor at the University of Cambridge, proves there's more than meets the eye. In fact, one page of these scribbles from 1493 actually contained something groundbreaking: the first written account demonstrating the laws of friction.
While common knowledge credits da Vinci with conducting the first systematic study of friction, as the Renaissance inventor incorporated friction into the behaviour of wheels, axles, and pulleys, recognizing its role in limiting operation and efficiency, no one actually knew how he came up with these ideas. But Hutchings was able to put together a detailed chronology that marks the very spot of da Vinci's "Aha!" moment.
The notebook, which contains the page of seemingly meaningless scribbles penned in red chalk on a piece of yellow scrap paper back in 1493, is held in the Victoria and Albert Museum of London. The page in question was already the subject of academic debate years ago, regarding, in particular, the faint sketch of an old woman near the top, with the statement "cosa bella mortal passa e non dura," which translates to "mortal beauty passes and does not last." Beneath these works lay the sketches that were dismissed by a 1920s museum director as "irrelevant notes and diagrams in red chalk."
Nevertheless, nearly a century later, Hutchings stirred up discussion on that very page once again, as he discovered that the rough geometrical figures drawn underneath the red notes show rows of blocks being pulled by a weight hanging over a pulley. This is the exact kind of experiment students would conduct today to show how the laws of friction work.
"The sketches and text show Leonardo understood the fundamentals of friction in 1493," explains Hutchings. "He knew that the force of friction acting between two sliding surfaces is proportional to the load pressing the surfaces together and that friction is independent of the apparent area of contact between the two surfaces. These are the 'laws of friction' that we nowadays usually credit to a French scientist, Guillaume Amontons, working two hundred years later."
Hutchings also revealed how da Vinci used his understanding of friction to create sketches meant for complex designs over the following two decades. He was aware of how useful and effective friction can be, and put his concept into practice through the works of wheels, axles, and pulleys, all of which were essential parts of his complex machines. He was, to say the least, centuries ahead of his time.
"Leonardo's 20-year study of friction, which incorporated his empirical understanding into models for several mechanical systems, confirms his position as a remarkable and inspirational pioneer of tribology," Hutchings notes.
This sort of fascinating news ought to encourage scientists and engineers to dive deeper into all of Leonardo's old notes in hopes that other overlooked insights can be revealed.
Having trouble losing excess weight? This could be one of the biggest reasons why.

Title: Phosphorous flame retardants as tools to study plasma aided surface impregnation of wood.
Keywords: atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), charcoal protective coating, phosphorous flame retardant (PFR), flaming, penetration, plasma-aided surface impregnation, spreading, wicking
Abstract: Phosphorous flame retardants (PFRs) quickly displace halogen containing flame retardants in flame retardancy of flammable wood materials and products. Their retardant action is based on the formation of charcoal protective coating that stops the flame spreading. Charcoal formation in the surface layer containing phosphorous flame retardant under heat impact at temperature of 190÷250 °C makes visible the penetration of the transparent flame retardant solution trough wood surface. This approach allows measuring the wicking depth through the surface of the wood specimen in the direction of capillary movement and transverse direction thereof.

Method of Eliminating Sharp Edges On Plated Cutoff Pins
Original Publication Date: 1982-Feb-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2005-Feb-09
This article describes a method for plating pins after assembly using external circuitry. The pins are made longer then required, and the external electrical connections are made to the excess area. After the plating process is completed, the excess is cut at the narrow neck formed in the pin. When cut in this area, there are no sharp edges formed which will damage the connector into which the pins are inserted. The radius formed at the neck facilitates insertion into printed circuit cards or boards if a soldered connection is required.


Raymond Anthony Holman
Ray Holman was born 22 April 1944, Woodbrook, Trinidad. He began playing steel drums at 13, with the Invaders. A few years later at the age of 16 he began to arrange with Invaders Steel Orchestra and then went on to write his first piece of music "Ray's Saga" at age 17.
In 1964 at the age of 20, he became the youngest person ever to win the solo division of the "ping pong" competition (Liam Teague broke this record in 1992 aged 18).
His reputation as an arranger grew as he led several bands to Panorama victory. This success was partly due to his relentless search to redefine pans musical development.
In 1969 he introduced strumming cellos and guitars to create a new type of rhythm. More solo passages were included in Panorama arrangements and elements of jazz were used to give the music more lyrical lines.
He has been instrumental in influencing arrangers to compose and arrange their own music for the national Panorama competition. It is ironic that Lennox Sharpe, a former member of Starlift, was the first person to win Panorama with his own composition.
As well as being a great steelpan innovator, Ray is a graduate from the University of the West Indies and a teacher of Spanish and History.
In 1988 he was awarded the Hummingbird Silver Medal of Merit by the government of Trinidad and Tobago for his contributions to the culture of the nation. He was also a member of these bands: Starlift, Destination Tokyo, Pandemonium, Exodus, the Hummingbirds, and Phase II Pan Groove.
In 2013, the final year of Panorama in its present format, he took Junior Sammy Group Skiffle to fifth place.

3 Reasons Why Responding to Social Media Matters
Your nonprofit's social media marketing plan should include a focus on customer service that includes responding to social media posts. Social media has evolved, providing businesses and nonprofits a personalized experience for their audience. With social media, you have the power to interact with your donors and supporters in real-time. Conversely, they can engage with you in real-time, too. Sixty-three percent of millennials prefer to interact with a company or organization on social media, altering the way people interact with businesses, nonprofits, and each other.
Here are three reasons why your responsiveness on social media posts matters:
Responsiveness to Social Media Impacts Customer Service
Your responsiveness impacts the way your donors view your customer service. A study conducted by Statista in 2019 revealed that 31 percent of people in the U.S. expect a response to a question or complaint on social media within 24 hours. In Facebook Messenger, when you respond to 90 percent of queries within 15 minutes, you will earn the "very responsive" badge. This badge is visible to the public and is used by supporters to gauge your response time.
Responsiveness to Social Media Increases Awareness of Your Nonprofit's Status
Each time a donor or supporter engages with you on social media, overall awareness of your organization increases because friends and followers of that person will see the interaction. For this reason, your nonprofit should respond to all comments and direct messages. When you respond to an individual as your organization, you create a feeling of loyalty. When a direct message requires you to do some research before forming a response, let the sender know you received the message and will respond as soon as you can provide the appropriate information.
Responsiveness to Social Media Creates a Positive Experience
Your responsiveness to social media posts can create a positive experience for your donors and supporters. People enjoy having positive interactions on social media. If someone posts a negative complaint, do not ignore it. Instead, take control of the situation and show donors and supporters that you care. If someone posts a positive comment, make sure to thank them for taking the time to inform you of their concerns.
Donor tracking software like StudioEnterprise with Advanced CRM can help you discover the preferred communication methods of all your donors. With this information, you will know where to concentrate your customer service efforts.
Your responsiveness to social media posts matters. It has an impact on customer service and can help you maintain your nonprofit's good reputation. Responsiveness allows you to increase awareness of your nonprofit. People value acknowledgment and a positive response to their posts. Update your marketing plan by including a comprehensive social media response plan, and your donors and supporters will become more engaged with your organization.

Manningtree is an attractive small town on the banks of the River Stour, close to the border with Suffolk. It is believed by many to be the smallest town in England, although there is some dispute around the claim. It is thought that the name derives from "Two-Trees".
Manningtree became popular during the wool trade of the 15th century, along with other Essex and Suffolk towns such as Colchester, Lavenham and Long Melford. After the decline of the wool trade it developed as a port, and there was also some ship building.
The High Street which runs parallel to the River Stour is lined with a range of timber framed buildings many of which have Georgian fronts. On the Market Cross in the High Street is a sculpture of the Manningtree Ox, mentioned by William Shakespeare in Henry IV Part 1 when young Prince Henry is teasing the overweight Falstaff.
There are a number of pubs and restaurants and a few shops on the High Street. But do explore the streets either side of the High Street as there some interesting buildings hidden away.
The River Stour marks the border between the counties of Essex and Suffolk. As it flows past Manningtree it is tidal, and it is popular with both sailors and fishermen (and swans). The river narrows and heads towards nearby Flatford, where it was regularly painted by John Constable.
The most famous Manningtree resident (if you don't count Margaret Thatcher) was Matthew Hopkins, the self styled 'Witchfinder General'. He accused hundreds of women across the East of England of being witches. He was active between the years of 1645 and 1647, a time of great political and social upheaval in England. He lived in Manningtree and nearby Mistley. He accused many local women of witchcraft, Some were imprisoned in Colchester and sent to Chelmsford for trial. However a group were hung on The Green just behind the High Street. For those interested in the macabre its still an atmospheric place to stand. If you are interested in Matthew Hopkins, Josie, one half of Essex Days Out, leads guided walks of Manningtree and Mistley which include stories of Matthew Hopkins.
Getting there and getting around.
The railway station is on the mainline London Liverpool Street to Norwich line, and the intercity trains stop there, as do trains to and from Ipswich and Harwich. The railway station at Manningtree is on the outskirts of the town, but it's just a short walk from the station to the town centre and then on to the River Stour and Mistley.
By road Manningtree is easily accessible via the A120 taking the turning at Horsley Cross when travelling from either London or Harwich. For a more scenic and historic route you can reach Manningtree from Colchester via the Harwich Road (A137) from the town centre (keep an eye open for a giant strawberry by the roadside as you leave Ardleigh).
A stroll along The Walls, as the banks of The Stour are known at this point, from Wherry Corner to adjoining Mistley is very popular at all times of the year. There are excellent views across the river to the foreign lands of Suffolk and it is also an excellent spot for bird watching, and taking photographs.
Manningtree is on the edge of the Dedham vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is good walking country, taking you across countryside made famous by the artist John Constable, and along the banks of the River Stour.
A popular walk is from Manningtree to Flatford, whee you can stop for refreshments in the National Trust Bridge Cottage Tearoom and take in the scenes made famous by Constable in some of his paintings, before returning to Manningtree, or you can continue your walk on to Dedham and East Bergholt.
If you arrive by train you're only a few minutes away from lovely countryside – either heading towards Mistley and Wrabness (and 'Julie's House') to the east, or around Constable Country to the west. If you drive with your bike on a rack, park up in the public car park outside The Co-operative Store and head out into the countryside.

Step 4: Glueing
Step 1. Fist of all we'll make one of the points of our ball. Take 5 sheets from the inside color ( blue) and glue them like this (see the first 6 pictures). Put some glue on the insertion and put it in the pocket.
Make 6 like this! Let's call them "little stars".
Step 2. Then take 5 sheets from the outside color (pink) and glue them with one blue "little star" (see pictures 7 and 8). This will be "star".
Then connect the 5 blue "little stars" with the "star" (see pictures 9-13)
Step 3. Then take 5 pink sheets and connect the blue "little stars" together. When you connecting them carefully try to close the stars. And when you finish you'll have half of our ball. (see pictures 14-18)
Step 4. Then add pink sheets on every corner of the "little stars" which don't have one. You must glue 2 pink sheets on every "little star".( see pictures 19-24)
Step 5. When you finish you'll have one half from the ball and you have to make the other one. Make it with the same way but without step 4 (you won't have pink sheet left).see picture 25
Step 6. When you're ready you have to connect the two halfs.
Step 7. This is easy just glue the left pink sheets from the first half with the blue sheets on the second half. Glue to the same way. see pictures 26-30

Arctic and Antarctic polar winter NOx and energetic particle precipitation in 2002-2006
We report GOMOS nighttime observations of middle atmosphere NO2 and O-3 profiles during eight recent polar winters in the Arctic and Antarctic. The NO2 measurements are used to study the effects of energetic particle precipitation and further downward transport of polar NOx. During seven of the eight observed winters NOx enhancements occur in good correlation with levels of enhanced high-energy particle precipitation and/or geomagnetic activity as indicated by the Ap index. We find a nearly linear relationship between the average winter time Ap index and upper stratospheric polar winter NO2 column density in both hemispheres. In the Arctic winter 2005 - 2006 the NOx enhancement is higher than expected from the geomagnetic conditions, indicating the importance of changing meteorological conditions.

old Irish zodiac was obviously heavily influenced by Greco-Latin
ideals, and translated straight into Irish, although it is interesting
that Leo is called 'Cú', The Hound, and not Leon, the Lion.
There is some evidence to suggest constellation groupings like the
were perceived in ancient Ireland. Other constellations which were
recognised as groupings include Orion (which was known in various
forms, most notably Nuadu of the Silver Hand) and Cassiopeia
and the Northern Crown. Cygnus, The
Swan, was probably recognised as a constellation too. The Milky
Way was known as 'The Way of the White Cow, and has led Mythical
Ireland to believe the ancient 'river goddess' Boann (illuminated
cow) was in fact meant to be the Moon, and that Newgrange,
which is known in Irish as Brú na Bóinne, is not just
a construct designed to capture Winter Solstice sunrise, but also
Full Moon rise at certain times of the lunar cycle. Brú na
Bóinne could mean 'womb of the moon'.

 Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the issue. Are you calling a compiled C program that adds two numbers from InstallBuilder? Could you paste here the relevant parts of your XML project?

 I guess you're using Turbo C for compiling your C programs. To edit the output directory, go to Options -> Directories
 You'll get 4 text fields. 1. Include Libraries 2. Library Libraries 3. Output Libraries 4. Source Libraries
 See if any path is present in the "Include library" field by default. If there is any content, copy the same to the other three fields as well.
 If there isn't any content in any of the fields, type the root directory, usually "C:" or "D:" or the directory in which you've installed Turbo C, followed by the installation folder. Usually, its "tc".
 After copying the content to the other text fields, press OK.

The lens of fresh ground water on Pingelap Island, Pingelap Atoll contains about 384 million gallons of potable water. Recharge to the freshwater lens is estimated to be 230,000 gallons per day on the basis of an average annual rainfall of 160 inches. The long-term average sustainable yield is estimated to be about 69,000 gallons per day. The estimated demand for water is about 50,000 gallons per day. Shallow-vertical-tube wells or horizontal-infiltration wells could be used to develop the freshwater lens. The effect of development on the lens can be determined by monitoring the chloride concentration of water from a network of shallow-water-table wells and deep driven wells. The ground-water resource on Pingelap can be used in conjunction with individual rainwater-catchment systems: rainwater can be used for drinking and cooking, and ground water can be used for sanitary uses. When rainwater-catchment systems fail during extended dry periods, ground water would be available to meet the total demand.
