Ensuring Connectivity via Data Plane Mechanisms
 - Junda Liu
10th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (2013)
We typically think of network architectures as having two basic components: a data plane responsible for forwarding packets at line-speed, and a control plane that instantiates the forwarding state the data plane needs. With this separation of concerns, ensuring connectivity is the responsibility of the control plane. However, the control plane typically operates at timescales several orders of magnitude slower than the data plane, which means that failure recovery will always be slow compared to dataplane forwarding rates.
In this paper we propose moving the responsibility for connectivity to the data plane. Our design, called Data-Driven Connectivity (DDC) ensures routing connectivity via data plane mechanisms. We believe this new separation of concerns basic connectivity on the data plane, optimal paths on the control plane will allow networks to provide a much higher degree of availability, while still providing flexible routing control.

Everything you need to understand or teach When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr.
Judith Kerr's WHEN HITLER STOLE THE PINK RABBIT is a semi-autobiographical story about a nine year-old Jewish girl named Anna who lives with her family in Berlin just as the Nazis are rising to power in Germany. Anna has an older brother named Max. Her mother, just called "Mama," is a well-to-do housewife and her father, "Papa," is a famous writer and prominent critic of the Nazi regime and the Nazi party. The story is about the family's flight from the Nazis, who have put a price on Anna's father's head since he is one of their critics. The family moves from Weimar Germany to Switzerland, then to France and ends up in England, because Papa cannot find work in countries influenced by the Nazis, since they refuse to publish his work. The notable feature of the book, however, is that the complexities of pre-war European politics are seen through... View more of the When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit Summary

A new perspective—Workshops AC2018
A new perspective—Workshops AC2018
June 09, 2018
Participants broke out into smaller groups for workshops to further explore different topics including mental health, discipleship, Justice For Our Neighbors, benefits and mission education.
Two different workshops discussed mental health—a topic becoming increasingly important.
One workshop gathered people in small circles to have conversations that prepared participants to lead similar conversations in their local churches.
The other workshop held a panel with mental health clinicians who shared practical ways churches can make a difference in the mental health needs of their community.
Amber Jerson, of Asbury United Methodist, attended the mental health panel.
"It was really interesting to hear what they had to say because they were involved with churches, but also involved in mental health in Iowa and worked with clients, so they had both sides," Jerson said.
The workshops are interesting, provide a different perspective and serve as a guide to learn more about ways people in the conference can branch out to people in their communities.
Jerson said she now can help the church find ways to branch out to the people within her congregation and the communities that are struggling with mental health issues.


Create a new collection
A collection is like a folder that contains a group of pages. A page is like a file in your Github repository.
A collection can only exist when there is a page inside. So you must create a page in a collection.
On Github, a collection is a folder
Step 1 Create a file, which will represent a page on your site.
Step 2 Specify the folder name
A folder for a collection should always start with underscore (_). Replace spaces between words with dashes (-).
Always keep all file and folder names in small caps
Step 3 Add a forward slash to fix the folder name and set a file name.
A file name usually corresponds to your page name for easy reference.
By typing the forward slash, you're fixing the file path of the folder
Step 4 Specify the title and permalink of the page
Things to note:
 1. You should enclose the title and permalink inside three dashes ---
 2. Permalink should not have any spaces in between.
 3. If you're creating a page inside a collection, you should specify in the permalink that the page is inside the folder. For example, for a page named My page inside a folder called My New Folder, the permalink will look like this /my-new-folder/my-page/
---
title: New Page
permalink: /my-new-folder/my-page/
---
Step 5 Scroll to the bottom and click commit at the bottom of the page to save the file.

We seek to make protection services available for 200 of the most vulnerable children in Syria, by providing the following services: fitting hearing aids for children who suffer from partial or total hearing loss, speech teaching sessions, providing children of physical disabilities with wheelchairs, psychosocial support sessions and conducting events and recreational activities for moral support.
Children were the most affected group by the war in Syria, and hundreds of them became disabled after receiving injury, which deprived them of their right to practice a normal life, live their childhood and complete their education. Further, additional burden was placed on their parents given their inability to treat their children in light of the difficult economic and living conditions, which they are currently experiencing.
SEMA, through the Child Protection Teams, track the cases of injured and disabled children through the Aamal Centers which are spread in Al-Bab, Azaz, Sharran and Idleb in Northwest Syria. The teams also provide those children with psychosocial support and treatment, so that they can normally continue their lives. SEMA has fitted more than 200 hearing aids for children suffering from total or partial hearing loss. Also, SEMA has provided more than 50 wheelchairs for children with disability.
Through this campaign, we seek to make protection services available for 200 children, by providing the following services: 1. Fitting hearing aids for children who suffer from partial or total hearing loss. 2. Speech teaching sessions. 3. Providing children of physical disabilities with wheelchairs. 4. Psychosocial support sessions. 5. Conducting events and recreational activities for moral support.


own users sending forged emails.
Once again, a dot indicates a null list (ie. anything allowed), and can be used to override an enclosing sender_permit definition.
localdelivery
This is a boolean setting which defaults to True.
If a Message-Store (MS) is defined, Mailismus usually uses its associated Directory to determine if a recipient is local, and then delivers the message into their local MS mailbox.
Setting this attribute to False modifies that behaviour, so that Mailismus looks up and validates local recipients as usual (and rejects the message if they are unknown), but it does not actually deliver the message into the MS or expand aliases etc. Instead, it simply relays the message onwards by whatever rules apply for that recipient's domain, as if it had never recognised the recipient as local.
This behaviour would be useful in a multi-mailserver setup, where you wish to have a front-end mailserver reject invalid incoming recipients at the perimeter, and then relay acceptable messages onwards to other backend mailservers.
If frontend mailservers simply routed all incoming messages onto backend ones (eg. by domain) without making use of this feature, then invalid users would not be discovered until the message reached the fnal mailserver, and it would have to respond with a bounced-message report, which obviously opens it up to back-scatter spamming attacks.
By using this attribute to detect invalid recipients at source, bad messages can be rejected by an SMTP error code without ever being accepted into your mailserver infrastructure.
spf_sender_rewrite
This is a boolean setting for SPF-compatible email forwarding, which defaults to True.
If the sender address is remote and the recipient address undergoes alias expansion, Mailismus normally rewrites the sender address to prevent SPF validation failures at the new recipient's mailserver from rejecting the email (because emails from that sender are not expected to originate from our IP).
Setting this to False disables sender rewriting.
maxpeerconnections
This specifies the max simultaneous connections allowed from any one client IP.
The default of zero means no limit.
The special value of -1 means no connections allowed, and would only make sense within a specific remotenet block, to forbid connections from it. Alternatively, -1 could be set as the top-level value and overridden in a specific remotenet block, to permit connections from that subnet only.
maxmsgsize
This specifies the max message size that will be accepted, either as plain bytes or in units of KiloBytes or MegaBytes using notation like 2000K or 2M
The default of zero means no limit.
maxrecips
This specifies the max number of recipients that will be accepted per message.
The default of zero means no limit.
maxmessages
This specifies the max number of messages that will be accepted per SMTP connections.
The default of zero means no limit.
maxbadreqs
This specifies the max number of consecutive invalid commands that can be sent, before we terminate the connection.
The default is 2, and zero means we won't tolerate a single invalid command.
There is of course no reason for a valid SMTP client to ever send an invalid command, and it is likely to be a human user mistyping when manually probing an SMTP Server via Telnet. If an automated client issues an invalid command, it invariably means an irrecoverable breakdown in the SMTP dialogue to a protocol error in either party.
See delay_badreq
timeout
This specifies the max idle period, after which the server will disconnect the remote client.
The default is 2 minutes.
delay_greet
This is an anti-spam measure, which specifies a delay before the Server will issue its greeting, after a connection is accepted. Clients are not supposed to send any commands until they receive the initial greeting, so if they do we will immediately disconnect them.
The default of zero means no greet-delay, but if you do wish to enable it, we would recommend 1.5 to 2 seconds (1.5 can be specified as 1500). The downside is obviously that legitimate senders also get delayed a bit.
The potential effectiveness of this measure is based on the observation that a lot of spamming mass mailers violate the SMTP protocol by not waiting for the initial greeting, or indeed any other response. They simply fire out their prepared commands as quickly as possible and move on to their next victim.
delay_badrecip
This specifies a delay that will be applied when rejecting any recipients, ie. we will pause this long before replying with any status other than 250 (OK), in response to an SMTP RCPT TO command.
The default is zero, meaning no delay.
This is an anti-spam measure, as it effectively "tarpits" a client which is sending an excessive number of bad recipients, and of course one of the signatures of a spammer is that they specify long speculative lists of largely invalid recipients.
delay_badreq
This specifies a delay that will be applied when sending the error response to any invalid commands we receive.
The default is zero, meaning no delay.
This is another anti-spam tarpit measure, but it's of lesser value as invalid commands are a rarity, and we will disconnect before receiving too many.
See maxbadreqs
omitreceivedheader
Boolean setting which is False by default.
SMTP servers are required to add a Received header to the message body as it passes through them, and Mailismus duly does so.
This setting allows it to relay the messages more stealthily, should you wish to do so for whatever reason.
extPIPELINING
This option makes Mailismus advertise support for the EMSTP command-pipelining extension.
On by default.
extSIZE
This option makes Mailismus advertise support for the EMSTP SIZE extension.
On by default.
ext8BITMIME
This option makes Mailismus advertise support for the EMSTP 8BITMIME extension, and is off by default.
Mailismus itself is 8-bit clean, and does transparently relay 8-bit content. The difficulty is that upstream MTAs may not be, and if we advertise 8-bit support, we could find ourselves with messages on our hands that cannot be successfully relayed onwards ... unless we do content conversion, and Mailismus doesn't support that.
You would enable this extension if you are operating in a closed environment where you know that the upstream MTAs also support 8BITMIME, or you're willing to take the chance that other MTAs will cleanly receive 8-bit message content even if they don't advertise this extension.
blacklist
greylist
authtypes
authtypes_ssl
See sections §4.4.5, §4.4.6 and §4.4.8 below.
remotenets
This is an optional block containing one or more nested remotenet blocks. Each remotenet block has an ip attribute which specifies one or more IP address blocks in CIDR notation (delimited by vertical bars), but you may specify a hostname in place of the IP part (as illustrated above).
The purpose of this is that each remotenet block identifies a family of clients (ie. those whose IP matches the CIDR block) to which you want to apply alternative config settings. There are no new settings defined for the remotenet block, but it may override most of the settings defined in the common server config.
The full list of settings that may be overridden within a remotenet block is:
announcehost
authtypes
authtypes_ssl
delay_badrecip
delay_badreq
delay_greet
ext8BITMIME
extPIPELINING
extSIZE
maxbadreqs
maxmessages
maxmsgsize
maxpeerconnections

sender_deny
sender_permit
smtpgreet

validate_helo
validate_recip

4.4.5 - Blacklisting
Blacklisting is a facility whereby all emails from specified IPs can be rejected, based on a config file which lists the barred IPs.
The precise behaviour is controlled by the config block below, which illustrates the default values.
<blacklist>
 <sourcefile>%DIRVAR%/blacklist.txt<sourcefile>
 <netprefix>28<netprefix>
 <hostnames>Y<hostnames>
 <interval>6h<interval>
 <mem_threshold>0<mem_threshold>
 <smtpreply>Service refused - your IP is on a blacklist<smtpreply>
</blacklist>
sourcefile
The central blacklisting parameter, and the only one which is mandatory and has no default, this specifies the full pathname of the file from which Mailismus will read the list of barred IPs.
The IPs are listed one per line.
netprefix
This specifies a CIDR-style net prefix which will be applied to all entries in the IPs file.
By default, each entry is aggregated with a prefix of 28, meaning that whatever IPs you specify, the ban applies to all other IPs in the same /28 subnet.
A value of 32 means each entry represents only that single IP, but we don

Delaunay Triangulation - From 2-D Delaunay to 3-D Delaunay
Author: Wang Jing
Institute: School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Delaunay triangulations are widely used in scientific computing in many diverse applications. While there are numerous algorithms for computing triangulations, it is the favorable geometric properties of the Delaunay triangulation that make it so useful.
The fundamental property is the Delaunay criterion. In the case of 2-D triangulations, this is often called the empty circumcircle criterion. For a set of points in 2-D, a Delaunay triangulation of these points ensures the circumcircle associated with each triangle contains no other point in its interior. This property is important. In the illustration below, the circumcircle associated with T1 is empty. It does not contain a point in its interior. The circumcircle associated with T2 is empty. It does not contain a point in its interior. This triangulation is a Delaunay triangulation. This presentation discusses how to extend 2-D Delaunay to 3-D Delaynay.

Novel fluorescent diazaoxatriangulenium (DAOTA) pH indicators for lifetime-based self-referenced pH sensing are reported. The DAOTA dyes were decorated with phenolic-receptor groups inducing fluorescence quenching via a photoinduced-electron-transfer mechanism. Electron-withdrawing chlorine substituents ensure response in the most relevant pH range (apparent pKa values of ∼5 and 7.5 for the p,p-dichlorophenol- and p-chlorophenol-substituted dyes, respectively). The dyes feature long fluorescence lifetimes (17-20 ns), high quantum yields (∼60%), and high photostabilities. Planar optodes are prepared upon immobilization of the dyes into polyurethane hydrogel D4. Apart from the response in the fluorescence intensity, the optodes show pH-dependent lifetime behavior, which makes them suitable for studying 2D pH distributions with the help of fluorescence-lifetime-imaging techniques. The lifetime response is particularly pronounced for the sensors with high dye concentrations (0.5-1 wt % with respect to the polymer) and is attributed to the efficient homo-FRET mechanism.

The people at Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. understand the urgency to get seed in the ground shortly after the planting window opens. Because many Kinze employees also farm, they know how critical proper planter maintenance is to ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency during this short time.
While it's very important for farmers to make sure their planter is mechanically sound, it's also important to check the electronics and technology on today's planters.
After farmers check their planter's mechanics, there is a separate checklist of items they should check regarding their monitors and technology. For farmers to ensure their planter monitor is running properly, Kinze recommends three basic areas to check: display operation, display data/software and the planter components.
If these tasks are performed before planting, it ensures that farmers will be ready to plant when weather permits.

Why is Blackberry also called Crackberry?
The popular phone, Blackberry is commonly given to people working for a company, since it's easy to use for reading company emails. The term "Crackberry" originated because people quickly became addicted to their Blackberrys just like they could become addicted to Crack cocaine – a real drug. Because many people are addicted to reading emails, the term Crackberry became quite popular as a fond nickname for Blackberry.

Arthur D. Little Analysis Finds Further Problems with the Proposed Gas Directive Amendment
Arthur D. Little (ADL) today published two reports analyzing the EU Commission's proposals to extend the regulations of the Third Gas Directive to pipelines from third countries supplying gas to the EU. They find that the recent European Commission-Gazprom settlement makes the amendment unnecessary, and that the proposed legislation will fail in its objective of enhancing market competition, potentially even decreasing supply.
The proposed directive suggests expanding EU regulation to import pipelines from non-EU countries, risking potential legal challenges and future international investment in gas-export infrastructure. Existing agreements between Spain and Italy and third countries, such as Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, would need to be renegotiated, creating scope for counter demands. The economic conditions for future pipeline projects such as East Med would become less predictable, creating the risk that gas would go to non-EU markets. Proposed derogations or exemptions cannot be guaranteed, and their outcome is uncertain. This could have a detrimental impact on supply, and therefore prices – the exact opposite of its stated aims.
The Spring 2018 settlement between the European Commission and Gazprom set out binding legal obligations, with mandatory actions agreed to prevent alleged anti-competitive behavior by Gazprom. This significantly changes the EU gas supply landscape, rendering the amendment unnecessary, according to ADL's analysis. Additionally, greater liberalization means the market is now beginning to function very well, without requiring further legislation.
Michael Kruse, Partner and Head of Energy & Utilities in Central Europe, explains: "The Gazprom settlement has significantly shifted the market context compared to when the Gas Directive amendment was first proposed. It creates a relevant, important change which needs to be recognized in the ongoing discussions around the amendment, and our analysis recommends carrying out a detailed impact assessment to check it is still necessary. At the very least, the European Commission should wait for the impact of the settlement to bed in, before introducing further changes."

The Machias River was long a vehicle for the lumber trade. For many years the town of Machias exported all sorts of sawed wood products, much of it on British vessels. When the British schooner "Margaretta" arrived in Machias in June of 1775 to pick up Machias River lumber to help build British barracks, the town captured the schooner, thereby engaging this country in its first naval battle of the Revolution. The most important topographical feature of the Machias River occurs in the town of Machias and gives both the river and the town their names. "Machias" is an Indian word that means "bad little falls" and refers to the steep, rough falls in the heart of the town where the river makes its final plunge. Subsequently the name was applied to both the town and the river.
The Machias rates with the Allagash, the Penobscot, and the Saint John as one of Maine's most scenic waterways. It offers semi-wilderness travel with lakes, swamps, intermittent rapids up to class III, ledges, waterfalls, and portages - all in a region that has much less use than the Allagash, and which is more accessible than the Saint John.
The trip, in its entirety, is 77 miles in length. It begins at Fifth Machias Lake and reaches tidewater, emptying into the ocean at the coastal town of Machias. The trip requires a minimum of six days with favorable weather. It is possible to split the trip distance almost exactly in half and paddle either the upper section which would include all 5 of the Machias Lakes with their interconnecting thoroughfares and river sections or the lower section which is entirely river travel. Three days are needed for either section.
There are 8 miles of river between 5th and 4th lakes, 3 miles between 4th and 3rd, 4 miles between 3rd and 2nd lakes, and 2 miles between 2nd and 1st Machias Lake. The river is quite narrow in this upper half and those sections between the lakes contain many interesting rapids and ledge drops ranging from class I to class III. There is also a likely portage around the "Long Falls" area between 3rd and 2nd lakes.
Approaching the half-way point of the trip there are two challenging drops to negotiate after scouting. Carrick Pitch is a class III boulder strewn obstacle of a couple hundred yards and the class II-III half mile long Airline Rapid has swift current, big waves, and a complicated right-left-right S-turn. The upper half short trip ends here and the lower half short trip begins here. If paddling the entire long trip, we camp overnight at the Airline.
Since the "West Branch" of the Machias joins the main river flow a few miles upstream, the river from here to the ocean is a much larger river with many sections of flatwater separated by falls and heavy rapids.
About four miles after leaving the Airline we reach the first of the potentially dangerous drops, "Little Falls", a series of rugged and ragged ledges. In another four miles we reach "Wigwam Rapids", a series of four distinct pitches extending over a distance of 2 miles. The sections are of varying difficulty including class III which can contain severe wave formations in high water conditions.
Three miles beyond the "Wigwams" we reach "Upper Holmes Falls", a 15 foot waterfall requiring another portage. Just around the next bend is "Lower Holmes Falls". This drop may be run by experienced paddlers after scouting or may be portaged. There are two islands in the middle of the falls, the lower of which is at the severe pitch of this drop. The upper island that leads into the fall has upon it a stone monument honoring Obadiah Hill, a pioneer of early Machias who died here in 1786. One can stop to see the monument and then ferry to the right shore for the portage or, if the water is not at a high level, to the upstream end of the lower island to view Lower Holmes Falls. The worst part of the fall is on the left side of this steepsided island and is not visible from the portage trail which follows the right bank. This is a geologically interesting site which offers examples of irregular jointing, irregular granite veins and basalt dikes, and curved fracture surfaces. The river runs forcefully through a fairly narrow channel here. Don't hesitate to portage around this very difficult pitch if your skills or the water conditions are not conducive to a successful attempt.
In the next section you'll meet "River's End", so named because as you approach it from upstream the river seems to disappear underground. About 12 miles from the ocean we reach the last major rapid and possible portage at a place called "Grand Falls". This rapid is runnable by experienced canoers at the proper water level or may be portaged. It is our final campsite on this river trip to the Atlantic.
The last day begins with 6 miles of flatwater followed by nearly a dozen class I and II rapids spaced out along the rest of the river before it drops precipitously to tidewater near downtown Machias.

Static Friction
Description
Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. For example, static friction can prevent an object from sliding down a sloped surface. The static friction force must be overcome by an applied force before an object can move.The maximum value of static friction, when motion is impending, is sometimes referred to as limiting friction or traction. The maximum possible friction force between two surfaces before sliding begins is the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force.

Year 6 Forensic Science Workshop
To support the investigative work Year 6 are undertaking in Science, the children took part in a Forensic Science Workshop on Wednesday 9th May.
An immersive environment was set up in the classroom, which consisted of four identical crime scenes. The children worked collaboratively to solve a crime and it was the responsibility of each group to piece together the evidence. The workshop included finding, developing and characterising fingerprints, investigating tool marks and other impressions, identifying hairs and fibres and investigating blood, bones and DNA. They used their scientific knowledge, understanding and logical thinking to solve given problems. The children really enjoyed this challenge and all were successful in solving the crime.

Fl::SecretInput - Text Widget that Displays as a String of Placeholders
use Fl; my $input = Fl::SecretInput->new(0, 0, 100, 200, 'Hello, World!');
The Fl::SecretInput class represents a widget that displays its input as a string of placeholders.
Depending on the platform this placeholder is either the asterisk ('*') or the Unicode bullet character (U+2022).
This subclass is usually used to receive passwords and other "secret" information.
Fl::SecretInput inherits from Fl::Input and Fl::Widget. On top of that, it exposes the following methods...
my $text_a = Fl::SecretInput->new(0, 0, 250, 500, 'Important Stuff'); my $text_b = Fl::SecretInput->new(0, 0, 250, 500);
The constructor creates a new widget using the given position, size, and label.
The widget's boxtype is FL_DOWN_BOX by default.
The destructor removes the widget.

I am surprised to find that there doesn't seem to be a way. You can write it to a file:
from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree
et = ElementTree(document)
f = open("/tmp/test.xml", "w")
et.write(f, encoding='utf-8', xml_declaration=True)
f.close()
See this question. Even then, I don't think you can get your 'standalone' attribute.

I would use lxml (see _URL_
Then you can:
from lxml import etree
document = etree.Element('outer')
node = etree.SubElement(document, 'inner')
print(etree.tostring(document, xml_declaration=True))

I encounter this issue recently, after some digging of the code, I found the following code snippet is definition of function ElementTree.write
def write(self, file, encoding="us-ascii"):
 assert self._root is not None
 if not hasattr(file, "write"):
 file = open(file, "wb")
 if not encoding:
 encoding = "us-ascii"
 elif encoding != "utf-8" and encoding != "us-ascii":
 file.write("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='%s'?>\n" %
 encoding)
 self._write(file, self._root, encoding, {})
So the answer is, if you need write the XML header to your file, set the encoding argument other than utf-8 or us-ascii, e.g. UTF-8

This 3200 Year Old Tree is So Massive, It's Never Been Captured in a Single Image…Until Now
It takes a special kind of tree to have a nickname like "The President". The giant sequoia stands 247 feet tall and is an estimated 3,200 years old. The trunk measures 27 feet across and, between the base and the highest peak, there are an estimated two billion needles.
It took an intricate set of pulleys and levers to scale the tree, which one scientist argues is the largest in the world (if you take into account width). After stitching together 126 separate photos, we are left with this mind-blowing portrait of "The President" captured in a single photo for the first time.


Spring 2024 Benthic Cover Analysis of Fish Pond
SURVEY DATES: 05/19/2024 - 05/21/2024
SURVEY LOCATION: Paea Lagoon Aua i'a Fish Pond
AUTHORS: Jessie Segnitz, Uma Pant, Nicole Pianalto, and S. Tara Grover
INTRODUCTION:
In this survey, we observed the substrate inside, on top, and outside the Paea Lagoon Aua i'a Fish Pond. The fish pond is a Polynesian traditional practice of small scale fish collection that fell into disuse over time due to the effects of European colonization, commercial fishing, and globalization. We are building upon the previous studies done by Wildlands students in 2022 and 2023 in order to meet the needs of our client, a private individual interested in species and land conservation who owns a marine observatory on Tahiti.
The objective of our study is to determine the sea floor substrate and algae covers on the inside and outside of the fishpond, and top of the rock wall top itself. Further objectives of the research team were to establish measurement definitions for the average particle sizes of both "fine" and "coarse" sand to set a standard for future use, and second, evaluate the presence of patterns on the seafloor of fine and coarse sand areas. There is a current along the shore running south to north through the fishpond and our client is specifically interested in the influence of this current and how the rock wall may act as a sieve or filter, changing the concentration of the sand types on the different sides of the wall. Earlier studies concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in substrate coverages outside and inside the fishpond, however, they did not account for the difference between fine and coarse sand, which is the knowledge gap we addressed with our survey.
We hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in the coverage of the different sand types on the south and north side of the wall. We further hypothesized that there would be a difference in overall substrate coverage inside and outside of the fish pond walls because of the barrier effects of the wall on the current's ability to move and transport substrate types through the area.
METHODS:
FIRST SURVEY — INSIDE FISH POND
We used a 50 x 50 cm quadrant to survey percent coverage of different substrate and algae types. We used a random number generator to generate 10 coordinates within the size of the fish pond which is roughly 15 x 15 meters. Using the bottom right corner of the fish pond (Northern corner) as our (0,0) origin point, we used a transect to measure out the predetermined coordinate points to the South along the shore (x-axis) and out into the water (y-axis) and placed the bottom right corner of the quadrat at each point. Our randomly-generated coordinates were (8, 12), (5, 1), (2, 7), (10, 9), (14, 3), (9, 11), (6, 12), (7, 9), (12, 9), (13, 2).
For this survey as well as Survey #2, we evaluated percent coverage of the following categories: fine sand (with the majority under 1mm length of grain on average), coarse sand (over 1mm length of grain on average), bare rubble (chunks of substrate between 2.5-10 cm, including stone, dead coral, shells), bare rock (over 10 cm with no algae cover), and five types of algae. These types were turf algae (under 1 cm), and the macroalgae genuses: Halimeda, Padina, Turbinaria, and Dictyota. Two researchers both independently estimated the coverage of each type and then double verified with each other.
We made sure to step lightly to avoid disturbing substrates or moving any particles into or out of the quadrats. We also exercised a high level of caution to avoid contact with dangerous benthic species including the stonefish, by wearing neoprene boots and swimming when possible without touching the floor.
SECOND SURVEY —OUTSIDE FISH POND
Starting from the north fish pond edge at the point closest to the shore, we measured out 5 meters parallel to the shore. That would be our starting point of our survey line of 15 meters to the end of the fish pond walls. We did systematic sampling, so every 5 meters starting from 0 meters on the transect we would sample using a 50 x50 cm quadrat, putting the quadrat on the left side of the transect with the bottom right corner at the starting point. We did this for the north, west and south walls of the fish pond. We evaluated percent coverage of the same categories and methods as for Survey #1 (above).
THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH SURVEY — SEDIMENT TRANSECT
In this survey we used line intercept sampling by using a transect adjacent to the interior and exterior wall, which we identified as the area on the seafloor closest to the rock wall that did not include any large rocks that made up the foundation of the wall. We evaluated percent sediment coverage of the following categories: fine sand (under 1mm length of grain on average), coarse sand (over 1mm length of grain on average), rubble (2.5-10 cm), rock (greater than 10 cm), and alive coral, all regardless of any algae cover on top. By looking at what sediment lay directly underneath the transect line we classified what sediment was present and the length of the section it created, for the entire 14.5 meters. We conducted this survey for the north, west and south side walls of the fishpond on both the inside and outer side of walls.
SIXTH SURVEY—- ON TOP OF WALL
For this survey we used systematic sampling using the 50 x50 cm quadrat and a transect laid out from the start of the rock wall for all three walls. We placed the bottom of the quadrant at 0m, 5, and 10 meters for each wall. The quadrat was placed in the very center of the wall, and at all survey points, the wall was thicker in width than 50 cm so the quadrat consisted completely of substrate from the wall itself. We looked down from an aerial view and measured the same substrate and algae types as previously mentioned in the other surveys. We repeated this method for all three walls for a total of 9 survey points.
SEVEN SURVEY — SAND MEASUREMENT
For this survey a team of two took samples of fine and coarse sand from inside the fishpond, scooping only the surface layer of sediment. We collected approximately 20 mm of sand and water for each. The samples were chosen based on visual differentiation, where the fine sand was scooped
from the left wall delta closest to shore inside the fishpond, and coarse sand from the center of the fish pond. The sand was laid out on a paper towel and a randomization method was used to choose 50 grains of sand to measure from each sample. Calipers were used to measure out the various particles in millimeters.
IMPROVEMENTS/ CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS SURVEYS
We used a 50 x 50 centimeter quadrat instead of the previous group's 1x1 m. This allowed us to take more accurate and detailed data on the coverage within our survey areas while still being a large enough surveyed area to be generalizable to the entire pond.
We know that the algae species and concentration can change due to seasonal and climate patterns. We did our own preliminary analysis of what types of macroalgae genuses were present when we got in the water, and created our own list of them to measure instead of using the previous groups. This was the same as the previous groups except for one exclusion, Sargassum, which was not present at this time, and one new inclusion, Dyctyota, which was present.
We did a randomized point intersect method for the inside of the fishpond instead of the previous groups' strategic sampling method because the fishpond is a big enough sample universe to benefit from a random sample to eliminate bias or accidental disproportionate inclusion or exclusion of substrate patterns.
We continued the original method of strategic sampling for the outside fish pond sampling universe, and for the walltop itself, because we felt that the narrow range of these areas would be better represented by consistent sampling. A visual analysis of the general substrate cover of the entire survey area confirmed that we were not overlooking any patterns due to this sampling method.
Surveying the wall top itself was also a new addition to this survey project that was not present in previous years. This allows us to set a baseline time zero (t=0) standard for wall composition which gives insight into the structural integrity of the stones based on how close together they are, and what substrate types are present among the cracks..
Another new addition was the specific line-intercept survey along the outer and inner walls that focused on determining patterns of sand dispersal through the walls.

DISCUSSION:
Survey one data illustrates that the substrate cover inside the fish pond is mostly coarse sand and a scattering of rubble across the area. While the dominant algae inside the fish pond was Halimeda. In the survey two data, it portrays that the sediment composition outside the fishpond was mostly made up of fine sand and some coarse sand, while the algae was mostly turf. The differential sediment composition inside and outside the pond demonstrates that the fish pond creates a different sediment environment, which is reflected by the dominant algae that is growing in the area.
The survey three, four, and five data show sand patterns that are representative of the current flowing through the pond. The currents are coming from the south going north, parallel to the

 4. Leveraging vs. All-Cash: The Debate
 5. Now Leverage Your Success
Most people invest in real estate with the hope of generating wealth. While the average investor isn't expecting to make millions overnight, they are looking to do something smart with their money. They're looking in the right place.
There are tremendous opportunities to generate wealth in real estate investing. Real estate investing is all about making smart decisions and taking strategic risks.
One of the smartest decisions and most strategic risks you can make it called leveraging.
What is leveraging?
What is leveraging? When you borrow money to help finance a property investment
When you leverage, you're borrowing money to help finance a property investment. The most common means of leveraging in real estate is taking out a mortgage. With a mortgage, you're borrowing from the bank to purchase your home.
Leveraging gets more interesting when you apply it to investment properties. You're buying these properties with the expectation of a financial return, so you'll need to structure your leveraging strategy in a way that maximizes that return.
In order to structure your leveraging strategy, you'll need to know the logistics of leveraging and what this strategy has to offer.
There are two main benefits to leveraging that you need to know...
Benefit 1: Return on Investment (ROI)
The most obvious benefit of leveraging is that you aren't paying out of pocket. This is especially helpful if you don't have much of your own money to invest but want to get into the real estate game nonetheless.
But there's an even bigger benefit to leveraging, and it requires some explaining. Here's an example:
Let's say you buy a rental property for $100,000 and you rent it out at $1,000 per month.
Scenario 1: All-Cash Purchase
Use All-cash purchase to buy real estate
So, you decide not to leverage real estate. You purchase the property in all cash.
After paying property taxes and insurance and miscellaneous expenses each month, let's say you take home $700 every month of that $1,000. $700 is your monthly cash flow.
Scenario 2: Leveraged Purchase
leveraged real estate purchase
You finance the property with a conventional mortgage, putting 20% down. That's $20,000.
You pay the same expenses every month as you would with the all-cash purchase, but now you also have a mortgage to pay off.
If you're paying each month with a 5% interest rate, you're making a mortgage payment of $430 per month. Instead of taking home $700 per month as with the all-cash purchase, you're taking home $270 per month.
So, Which Looks Better?
It seems like you're making more money if you purchase in all-cash. You're taking home $700 per month instead of just $270. If you think this an all-cash investment is the obvious answer, think again.
What matters in real estate investing isn't the cold numbers. What matters is how much money you are making on the money you invest. You want to know how much cash you are making in relation to how much cash you put in. This is determined using the cash-on-cash equation.
the cash-on-cash equation is annual net income divided by amount of money put into your investments
Let's look at those scenarios again.
Scenario 1: All-Cash Purchase
All-cash purchase of real estate investment property
Your net monthly income is $700 after expenses. To get your annual net income, multiply by 12. Then divide it by your initial investment of $100,000.
It should look like this:
($700 x 12)/$100,000 = 0.084 = 8.4%
That's 8.4% cash-on-cash return.
Scenario 2: Leveraged Purchase
Leverages real estate purchase - 16.2% cash-on-cash return
Your net monthly income is $270 after expenses and mortgage payments. Again, multiply this by the 12 months in the year for your annual net income. Then divide it by your down payment of $20,000.
It should look like this:
($270 x 12)/$20,000 = 0.162 = 16.2%
With a leveraged purchase, you're making 16.2% cash-on-cash return.
So, Which Looks Better NOW?
Do you see the difference?
The leveraged purchase provides nearly double the return on the money you invested. While your monthly cash flow seemed significantly lower at first glance, you're actually getting double the return on your investment.
Look at the change. The cash-on-cash equation helps you determine how much of a return you're really making when you take your actual investment into account. Cash flow means nothing when you don't consider your investment.
A leveraged property won't always offer double the return on your investment. It all depends on your initial investment, monthly payments, and cash flow. In some cases, a leveraged real estate investment could give you negative returns while an all-cash investment puts you in the positive.
What matters is that you're able to run the numbers on your investment.
Benefit 2: Quantity of Investments (Get More for Less)
There's another benefit to leveraging—and it's staring you right in the face.
In the all-cash scenario, you spent $100,000 of your own money. In the leveraging scenario, you only had to spend $20,000 of your investable money.
Let's assume you have that $100,000 to invest in both scenarios. There are 5 sums of $20,000 in $100,000. This means that instead of buying one property for $100,000, you could potentially leverage 5 properties.
That's right. You can either pay all-cash for one property in Scenario 1 or you can finance 5 properties with Scenario 2.
Before you decide, let's look at the benefits of financing 5 properties:
5 benefits of financing multiple properties
Higher total monthly cash flow
Let's return to our cash-on-cash calculations. We know that if you pay all-cash for a $100,000 property, your cash return is going to be $700.
If you own 5 properties and make $250 off each of them every month, your monthly cash return is going to be $1,350.
But we know not to trust only cash value, so let's run the numbers through the cash-on-cash calculation.
We know from the example above that our all-cash purchase delivers 8.4% cash-on-cash return.
For our 5 investment properties, the calculation would be: $1,350 x 12 / $100,000 =.162. This means there's still a 16.2% return on your investment with your 5 properties—and you have more cash value to boot.
5 times the appreciation benefits (when applicable)
If a house appreciates, that's basically free money for you. So if a $100,000 real estate investment appreciates $30,000, you make $30,000 of what's essentially free money.
If your all-cash purchase property gains $30,000 in appreciation, you've gotten a bonus $30,000 in your pocket.
But if you own five properties and they all gain the same $30,000 in appreciation? You have a bonus of $150,000 in your pocket—5 times that $30,000.
Note: Numbers being used are solely to illustrate the math and are not actual numbers. All equations should be run off actual property numbers and never estimated. Also, $100,000 buying five properties does not take into consideration closing costs with the lender and other expenses to buy the property.
5 times the tax benefits (which are huge)
Tax benefits are less intuitive to calculate, but they are substantial on rental properties. With your 5 properties, your tax benefits are higher than what they would be on just one property,
So, you picked a bad property. If you made an all-cash payment, that money would essentially be sunk. You'd be taking losses over and over again.
With 5 leveraged properties, all of your eggs aren't in one basket in case you pick a lemon property.
Offset against vacancy and repairs
If you invest in one house and your tenants move out, you have to cover vacancy and repair expenses yourself. If the tenants in one house move out but you own five houses, you can use the income from the other four houses to offset those expenses.
With all of those benefits, what's the catch? Why isn't everyone leveraging like mad?
Leveraging vs. All-Cash: The Debate
After exploring the benefits of leveraging, you might think the answer to this debate is an obvious one. Shouldn't leveraging win out over paying all-cash for an investment property?
The reality is that there are a lot of people shouting from the rooftops that leveraging is dangerous and risky and should be avoided at all costs.
So what's the real problem leveraging? The main reason is fear. People are afraid of leveraging. Here are some of the main fears:
top 4 fears in leveraging real estate
But the fear surrounding leveraging is based on misunderstandings. Let's re-examine the list of possible fears, but follow-up with easy and practical solutions:
They fear not being able to cover the mortgage payments on their properties and being foreclosed upon.
This is why having a nest egg is important.

Babysitting an unruly child
By Babysits, 3 min read
It is not always easy to take care of an unruly child while babysitting. This can be especially challenging when the child takes advantage of the absence of their parents in order to test your nerves and boundaries. Here are some tips for how you can best deal with unruly children and make babysitting a difficult child go as smoothly as possible!
1- Ask parents how they usually handle this behavior
It is important not to disturb the child in their environment. Thus, your way of supervising a child during a babysitting should not completely differ from that of the parents, otherwise you risk changing the environment even more. Talk to parents about it, do not hesitate to ask them how best to manage specific situations, it's for the sake of their child!
2- Scolding or shouting back will not change things
Nothing is worse than losing your control and acting excessively with a difficult child, it will lead to nothing and will probably worsen the situation. Instead, take time with the child to try to calm them down, understand what they are upset about, and try to find a solution.
3- Do not give in to every request
Children are smart, it's not new, and some can quickly realize how they can get what they want. If you give in to their every whim, even if they do not seem worth your while, they may realize that they can ask, demand, and throw a tantrum in order to get whatever they want. If you plan ahead to not accommodate a child's every request, this can help create a baseline where they don't expect to get everything they want and have less of an incentive to throw a fit in order to get their wishes.
4- Learn to be patient and caring
Patience is a required characteristic for success in child care and as a babysitter or caregiver you are the adult and therefore the person in charge of keeping calm. In no case should you show that the behavior of the child gets on your nerves or makes you exasperated. Do not get carried away, stay calm, take a deep breath, and talk with the child.
5- Try to focus their attention on something else
Boredom or lack of attention can be a reason why children act unruly. To avoid this, find activities that match, interest, and amuse them. It's up to you to be creative and come up with the best solution for your situation! (For a little bit of inspiration, you can check out some ideas for activities in our Community Resources).
6- Finally, reward the child if they behaved well
Yes, this last technique works for sure! But we must use it effectively and not use it systematically... If you think that there is a real improvement in the behavior of the child, you can reward him by taking him to his favorite place, offering him a treat, playing his favorite game, etc.

Perspectives on Logistics Leadership
Five critical dimensions for leadership in logistics can be identified to transform the 20 percent of the logistics change initiative directly within the control of a companys logistics organization. As a catalyst for widespread change, however, logistics leadership must include many other areas of business.
Few logistics executives have been trained in leadership and change management and most have limited experience with successful change. Since there are few university programs in leadership or change management, most managers extend their limited academic background with on-the-job experience to guide them. To effectively lead and provide the direction for change, it is important that executives understand the dimensions of logistics leadership and the dynamics of supply chain change.
The most fundamental point to keep in mind about logistics and supply chain leadership and change is that a business process that provides some level of performance is almost always in place. Rarely does logistics change management commence from ground zero. Management must begin with the existing process, keep it working at a level to maintain adequate performance during the change process, and redesign and implement enhanced supply chain processes. Logistics and supply chain change improves a process or practice that isnt broken and, in the minds of some, doesnt need to be fixed.
Logistics leadership and change management requires the ability to identify the vectors of logistics change and then the ability to propose and operationalize initiatives to profit from being the first to respond. Based on the Supply Chain Process Model introduced in 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality, Exhibit 1 illustrates the major capabilities critical for logistics leaders. The ball illustrated in motion by the dotted lines represents the rapidly changing supply chain environment. Like supply chain requirements, the motion is constant and it is continuously being redirected under the influence of customer and competitive actions. The Supply Chain Change Process Model suggests five critical dimensions for logistics leadership. The dimensions include:
The first dimension is the ability to understand both customer and end-customer supply chain requirements. This includes understanding service requirements and performance levels that will be necessary to satisfy intermediate and end-customers today and especially in the future. For example, logistics leaders must be able to identify the changing delivery and service requirements of channel segments or even of individual customers. The true leader must not only understand current requirements, but must also anticipate future supply chain requirements of customers and the end-customer. An understanding of current and future requirements allows the logistics leader to define the ultimate goal. Not only is this dimension critical for leading the executives own firm, it is equally as import to be able to lead and educate the firms critical customers to ensure their long-term success.
To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved to achieve meaningful change.
The second dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to identify and understand competitive capabilities. A logistics leader must anticipate and understand the current and likely strengths and weaknesses of key competitors. Such understanding is critical to allow a firm and its supply chain partners to match competitive threats and target weaknesses. However, information and understanding regarding the supply chain environment are often difficult to obtain. The leader must determine the framework to characterize both competitive and non-competitive firms and then develop the means to assess and benchmark other organizations. While it is not easy to identify the current capabilities of competitors, true logistics leaders must insight regarding future competitive capabilities
Supply Chain Competencie
The third dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to understand and critically evaluate the competencies of their own supply chain. The Supply Chain 2000 Framework and diagnostic methodology introduced at Michigan State University (MSU) determined that high performing supply chains exhibit high degrees of customer integration, internal integration, material/service supplier integration, technology and planning integration, measurement integration and relationship integration (For a more detailed discussion, see 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality from the Council of Logistics Management). For each of these integration competencies, a logistics leader must be able to assess the firms capabilities as well as the complementary capabilities of other supply chain partners. While the MSU research has demonstrated that high performing supply chains must have a high level of ability in all of the integration competencies, it is possible for firms to achieve high performance by using the competencies of supply chain partners.
Visioning is a process of creativity and innovation. The fourth dimension of logistics leaders is the ability to develop a big picture perspective that conceptualizes the dynamics and influence of complex interrelationships. Leaders see an integrative pattern of connectiveness where others may see only specific events and problems requiring resolution. The connectiveness relates the trends in terms of customer requirements, firm capabilities, competitive capabilities and the responses in the form of firm competitiveness. Leaders are able to create a vision of future market requirements and then identify refinements in operations, processes, or application of external resources to achieve such visions. Such leaders are also able to articulate the reality of the present, thus identifying the comparative gap between vision and reality needed to motivate change.
The role of visioning is to conceptualize the supply chain situation and identify desirable and achievable system modifications consistent with overall enterprise objectives. To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved if to achieve meaningful change. Thus, visions with a high degree of perceived legitimacy and offering substantial opportunity are more likely to be accepted over those proposing radical change. For some types of supply chain change, reasonable modification of current practices and relationships is sufficient. The truly difficult leadership challenges are those proposing that well-established practices or relationships be discarded or radically modified. As noted earlier, resistance to new practices and relationships that challenge a sense of individual and business security can force a serious, if not terminal, resistance to the change management process.
The difference between the logistics leaders current assessment and the vision of desired achievement defines the opportunity gap that determines the performance and financial benefits attainable from improved integration. To be meaningful, these performance and financial measures must be quantified to initiate and drive change. In this respect, leadership is essential to help simplify operating complexity by identifying and focusing on relationships and practices that, if modified, have the potential to enhance performance. Change management leadership is the art of creatively identifying, articulating and guiding a shared vision of the opportunity gap and the means to improve. While leaders astute in change management may identify an opportunity and scope its potential, the existence and magnitude of a gap is typically not so obvious to managers who are deeply involved in day-to-day operations. The balance between vision, current reality, and resource opportunities creates the essence of a logistics leaders action plan.
Successful logistics change leaders must be able to communicate the benefits and risks associated with the vision in a credible manner if widespread support for any initiative is to be generated. Leaders who successfully enable change are masters at creating legitimacy for visions in terms of detailing future directions and conceptualizing the capabilities and resources necessary to get there. Most important, such visions must be aligned with overall enterprise and supply chain goals.
Just as a firms supply chain competency is dynamic, so are the associated visions. Since visions are about the future, they frequently change. In fact, visions must undergo constant refinement if they are to remain relevant. Once a vision is widely shared, it immediately impacts current decision-making. In essence, the shared vision becomes part of the present as well as the desired future and the logistics leader can effectively establish that vision as the goal.
In a matter of time, organizational leaders will conclude that sufficient potential exists to justify undertaking change. The fifth dimension of logistics leadership is the ability to develop this conclusion and then develop a plan to operationalize it. The sales and development process is particularly challenging in a transition environment. The environmental dynamics of logistics and supply chain management mean that the guidelines and principles must be constantly transitioned and refined. The principles that were learned or applied yesterday must be refined to work in the current environment. Effective action planning requires the logistics leader to adapt and extend the traditional principles to the current and anticipated environment.
This requires that the logistics leader be able to systematically: 1) identify the change initiatives; 2) characterize the benefits; 3) determine the obstacles to overcome; 4) highlight the organizational implications; 5) determine the resource requirements; and 6) establish accountability and action measurements. While it is not be necessary for the logistics leader to embody the detailed skills for change management, an effective leader must maintain the big-picture perspective and drive the change management initiatives.
Typically, supply chain change also requires the alignment of operations outside the direct control of a specific executive and, in terms of the supply chain, even the firm itself. One executive stressed the fundamental importance of leadership by estimating that only 20 percent of the scope of a typical logistical change initiative is within the direct control of a firms logistics organization. The remaining 80 percent typically involve the responsibilities of managers from other business areas. Thus, logistical leaders must sell ideas and serve as cross-functional catalysts. Managing change through others is a difficult task that logistics leaders need to master.
The abilities represented through these dimensions represent a significant challenge and a substantial opportunity for managers to differentiate themselves. Combining logistics and supply chain knowledge with effective change management skills provides an individual an opportunity to establish his or her importance in supply chain and supply chains importance for the organization. The increasing role that logistics and supply chain management continue to take in corporate competitiveness shows that there will always be a need for logistics leaders.
