Kernel Korner - Unionfs: Bringing Filesystems Together
Now home directories from both /alcid and /penguin are available from /home.
Unionfs supports multiple read-write branches, so the user's files will not migrate from one directory to another. This contrasts with previous unioning systems, such as BSD-4.4's Union Mounts, which generally supported only a single read-write branch.
Most Linux distributions are available as both ISO images and also as individual packages. ISO images are convenient because they can be burnt directly to CD-ROMs, and you need to download and store only a few files. To install to a machine over a network, however, you often need to have the individual packages in a single directory. Using the loopback device, the ISO images can be mounted on separate directories, but this layout is not suitable for a network install because all files need to be located in a single tree. For this reason, many sites maintain copies of both the ISO images and also the individual package files, wasting both disk space and bandwidth and increasing management efforts. Unionfs can alleviate this problem by virtually combining the individual package directories from the ISO images.
In this example, we are mounting over two directories, /mnt/disc1 and /mnt/disc2. The mount command is as follows:
# mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/mnt/disc1,/mnt/disc2 \ > none /mnt/merged-distribution
In the previous example of the ISO images, all of the branches in the union were read-only; hence, the union itself was read-only. Unionfs also can mix read-only and read-write branches. In this case, the union as a whole is read-write, and Unionfs uses copy-on-write semantics to give the illusion that you can modify files and directories on read-only branches. This could be used to patch a CD-ROM. If the CD-ROM is mounted on /mnt/cdrom, and an empty directory is created in /tmp/cdpatch, then Unionfs can be mounted as follows:
# mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/tmp/cdpatch,/mnt/cdrom \ > none /mnt/patched-cdrom
When viewed through /mnt/patched-cdrom, it appears as though you can write to the CD-ROM, but all writes actually will take place in /tmp/cdpatch. Writing to read-only branches results in an operation called a copyup. When a read-only file is opened for writing, the file is copied over to a higher-priority branch. If required, Unionfs automatically creates any needed parent directory hierarchy.
In this CD-ROM example, the lower-level filesystem enforces the read-only permissions, and Unionfs respects them. In other situations, the lower-level filesystem may indeed be read-write, but Unionfs should not modify the branch. For example, you may have one branch that contains pristine kernel sources and then use a separate branch for your local changes. Through Unionfs, the pristine sources should be read-only, as the CD-ROM was in the previous example. This can be accomplished by adding =ro to a directory in the dirs mount option. Assume that /home/cpw/linux is empty, and /usr/src/linux contains a Linux kernel source tree. The following mount command makes Unionfs behave as a source code versioning system:
# mount -t unionfs -o \ > dirs=/home/cpw/linux:/usr/src/linux=ro \ > none /home/cpw/linux-src
This example makes it appear as if an entire Linux source tree exists in /home/cpw/linux-src, but any changes to that source tree, such as changed source files or new object files, actually go to /home/cpw/linux.
With a simple modification, we also can use an overlay mount. That is, we can replace /home/cpw/ linux with the unified view:
# mount -t unionfs -o > dirs=/home/cpw/linux:/usr/src/linux=ro > none /home/cpw/linux
Most filesystem operations in Unionfs move from higher-priority branches to lower-priority branches. For example, LOOKUP begins in the highest-priority branch in which the parent exists and then moves to lower-priority branches. During the lookup operation, Unionfs caches information for use in later operations.
CREATE attempts to create files in the highest-priority branch where the parent directory exists. The CREATE operation uses the cached lookup information to operate directly on the appropriate branch, so in effect, it moves from higher-priority branches to lower-priority branches.
Unionfs uses several techniques to provide the illusion of modifying read-only branches, and at the same time, maintains normal UNIX semantics. If there is an error while creating a file, error handling must be performed. Error handling proceeds from lower-priority branches to higher-priority branches. Starting in the highest-priority branch in which the parent exists, Unionfs attempts to create the file in each higher-priority branch. Finally, if the operation fails in the highest-priority branch for the whole union, then Unionfs returns an error to the user.
In contrast to CREATE, the UNLINK operation always proceeds from lower-priority branches to higher-priority branches. Because the last underlying object to be UNLINKed is the highest-priority object, the user-visible state is not modified until the very end of Unionfs's UNLINK operation. The most complex situations to handle are partial errors. If removing an intermediate file fails and Unionfs simply removes the highest-priority file, a lower-priority file becomes visible to the user. To handle these error conditions, Unionfs uses a special high-priority file called a whiteout. If Unionfs encounters a whiteout, it behaves as if the file does not exist in any lower-priority branch. Internally, to create a whiteout for a file named F, Unionfs creates a zero-length file named.wh.F. Getting back to UNLINK—if an intermediate UNLINK has failed, instead of deleting the highest-priority file, Unionfs renames the file to the corresponding whiteout name.
This careful ordering of operations has two effects. The first is that UNIX semantics are maintained even in the face of errors or read-only branches. The user-visible state isn't modified until the operation is attempted on the highest-priority branch. The success or failure of the operation is determined by the success or failure of this branch. Through the use of whiteouts, a file can be deleted even if it exists on a read-only branch. The second effect is that when no errors occur, files and directories tend to stay in the branches where they were originally. This is important because one of the goals of Unionfs is to keep the files in separate places.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

This exhibition of Modern British paintings aims to convey a spectrum of the rich and diverse artistic achievements centering on the turn of the century. It illustrates the progression of the 'Modernist' path from the Academy dominated years to the Newlyn and St. Ives group and later the Camden and Bloomsbury circles. While some of the works display the continuing appeal of the traditional and academic styles, other reflect an open attitude and gradual adoption of new Continental influences, ranging from the French Impressionism of Steer to the tubular, Leger influenced style of Roberts.

Estimating distances and directions of targets in short range is important for achieving hands-free speech interfaces and nursing-care robots. Conventionally, acoustic imaging methods based on time-of-flight (TOF) with ultrasound have been proposed to estimate the distances and directions of targets. However, these methods have difficulty estimating the distances and directions in the short range which has overlaps of the transmitted and reflected waves. Meanwhile, we have proposed the acoustic distance measurement method which can estimate the distances in the short range. Previously proposed method can be estimated the distance and direction of a single target, but cannot estimate that of multiple targets. Therefore, in the present paper, we propose a new acoustic imaging method based on phase interference between transmitted and reflected waves for estimating distances and directions of multiple targets in the short range. More specifically, we calculate range spectrogram by beamforming range spectra calculated from each microphone of the microphone-array. Also, the proposed method performs the distance attenuation normalization and the sidelobe suppression in range spectrogram. Finally, we confirm the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed method through computer simulations and evaluation experiments in a real environment.

Objective-C Question
Xcode warning: Format specifies type 'long' but the argument has type 'int _Nullable'
I get this warning for the following line of code:
NSLog(@"selected segment: %li", _segmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex);
The property
is of type
If I change the format to
i get the following warning:
Format specifies type 'int' but the argument has type 'long _Nullable'
Are there any new format specifiers for Nullable types or is this just a bug in Xcode 7?
You should type:
NSLog(@"selected segment: %li", (long)_segmentControl.selectedSegmentIndex);
Because NSInteger has a different length in 32 and 64bit architecture. Previously you didn't see the warning, because probably you was compiling only against 64 bit architecture.
I'd also advise to read Apple Article, as there are new specifiers in Xcode 7 (among others nullable and nonnull).
To answer your doubts from the comment, please refer to this Apple document, where they state the following:
Type Specifiers
Script action: Warns about potential problems; may generate false negatives.
Typically, in 32-bit code you use the %d specifier to format int values in functions such as printf, NSAssert, and NSLog, and in methods such as stringWithFormat:. But with NSInteger, which on 64-bit architectures is the same size as long, you need to use the %ld specifier. Unless you are building 32-bit like 64-bit, these specifiers generates compiler warnings in 32-bit mode. To avoid this problem, you can cast the values to long or unsigned long, as appropriate. For example:
NSInteger i = 34;
printf("%ld\n", (long)i);

Use the Factory Method Pattern for Object Creation in Sitecore
Sitecore Technology MVP 2016

Sitecore MVP 2014
Enter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.
This post is a continuation of a series of posts I'm putting together around using design patterns in Sitecore, and will show a "proof of concept" around using the Factory Method pattern — a creational pattern whereby client code obtain instances of objects without knowing the concrete class types of these objects. This pattern promotes loose coupling between objects being created and the client code that use them.
In this "proof of concept", I am using an Item Validator to call a factory method to obtain a "fields comparer" object to ascertain whether one field contains a value greater than a value in another field, and will show this for two different field types in Sitecore.
I first defined an interface for objects that will compare values in two Sitecore fields:
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public interface IFieldsComparer
 {
 bool IsFieldOneLessThanOrEqualToFieldTwo(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo);
 }
}
Instances of classes that implement the IFieldsComparer interface above will ascertain whether the value in fieldOne is less than or equal to the value in fieldTwo.
I then defined a class that implements the IFieldsComparer interface to compare integer values in two fields:
using System;
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
using Sitecore.Diagnostics;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public class IntegerFieldsComparer : IFieldsComparer
 {
 public bool IsFieldOneLessThanOrEqualToFieldTwo(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo)
 {
 Assert.ArgumentNotNull(fieldOne, "fieldOne");
 Assert.ArgumentNotNull(fieldTwo, "fieldTwo");
 return ParseInteger(fieldOne) <= ParseInteger(fieldTwo);
 }
 protected virtual int ParseInteger(Field field)
 {
 int fieldValue;
 int.TryParse(field.Value, out fieldValue);
 return fieldValue;
 }
 }
}
There isn't much to see in the class above. The class parses the integer values in each field, and checks to see if the value in fieldOne is less than or equal to the value in fieldTwo.
Now, let's create a another class — one that compares DateTime values in two different fields:
using System;
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
using Sitecore.Diagnostics;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public class DateFieldsComparer : IFieldsComparer
 {
 public bool IsFieldOneLessThanOrEqualToFieldTwo(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo)
 {
 Assert.ArgumentNotNull(fieldOne, "fieldOne");
 Assert.ArgumentNotNull(fieldTwo, "fieldTwo");
 return ParseDateTime(fieldOne) <= ParseDateTime(fieldTwo);
 }
 protected virtual DateTime ParseDateTime(Field field)
 {
 return DateUtil.IsoDateToDateTime(field.Value);
 }
 }
}
Similarly to the IFieldsComparer class for integers, the class above parses the field values into DateTime instances, and ascertains whether the DateTime value in fieldOne occurs before or at the same time as the DateTime value in fieldTwo.
You might now be asking "Mike, what about other field types?" Well, I could have defined more IFieldsComparer classes for other fields but this post would go on and on, and we both don't want that 😉 So, to account for other field types, I've defined the following Null Object for fields that are not accounted for:
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public class NullFieldsComparer : IFieldsComparer
 {
 public bool IsFieldOneLessThanOrEqualToFieldTwo(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo)
 {
 return true;
 }
 }
}
The Null Object class above just returns true without performing any comparison.
Now that we have "fields comparers", we need a Factory method. I've defined the following interface for objects that will create instances of our IFieldsComparer:
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public interface IFieldsComparerFactory
 {
 IFieldsComparer GetFieldsComparer(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo);
 }
}
Instances of classes that implement the interface above will return the appropriate IFieldsComparer for comparing the two passed fields.
The following class implements the IFieldsComparerFactory interface above:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Xml;
using Sitecore.Configuration;
using Sitecore.Data.Fields;
using Sitecore.Diagnostics;
namespace Sitecore.Sandbox.Data.Validators.ItemValidators.FieldComparers
{
 public class FieldsComparerFactory : IFieldsComparerFactory
 {
 private static volatile IFieldsComparerFactory current;
 private static object locker = new Object();
 public static IFieldsComparerFactory Current
 {
 get
 {
 if (current == null)
 {
 lock (locker)
 {
 if (current == null)
 {
 current = CreateNewFieldsComparerFactory();
 }
 }
 }
 return current;
 }
 }
 private static IDictionary<string, XmlNode> FieldsComparersTypes { get; set; }
 private IFieldsComparer NullFieldsComparer { get; set; }
 static FieldsComparerFactory()
 {
 FieldsComparersTypes = new Dictionary<string, XmlNode>();
 }
 public IFieldsComparer GetFieldsComparer(Field fieldOne, Field fieldTwo)
 {
 Assert.IsNotNull(NullFieldsComparer, "NullFieldsComparer must be set in configuration!");
 if (!AreEqualIgnoreCase(fieldOne.Type, fieldTwo.Type) || !FieldsComparersTypes.ContainsKey(fieldOne.Type))
 {
 return NullFieldsComparer;
 }
 XmlNode configNode = FieldsComparersTypes[fieldOne.Type];
 if(configNode == null)
 {
 return NullFieldsComparer;
 }
 IFieldsComparer comparer = Factory.CreateObject(configNode, false) as IFieldsComparer;
 if (comparer == null)
 {
 return NullFieldsComparer;
 }
 return comparer;
 }
 private static bool AreEqualIgnoreCase(string stringOne, string stringTwo)
 {
 return string.Equals(stringOne, stringTwo, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);
 }
 protected virtual void AddFieldsComparerConfigNode(XmlNode configNode)
 {
 if(configNode.Attributes["fieldType"] == null || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(configNode.Attributes["fieldType"].Value))
 {
 return;
 }
 if (configNode.Attributes["type"] == null || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(configNode.Attributes["type"].Value))
 {
 return;
 }
 FieldsComparersTypes[configNode.Attributes["fieldType"].Value] = configNode;
 }
 private static IFieldsComparerFactory CreateNewFieldsComparerFactory()
 {
 return Factory.CreateObject("factories/fieldsComparerFactory", true) as IFieldsComparerFactory;
 }
 }
}
The AddFieldsComparerConfigNode() method above is used by the Sitecore Configuration Factory to add configuration-defined Xml nodes that define field types and their IFieldsComparer — these are placed into the FieldsComparersTypes dictionary for later look-up and instantiation.
The GetFieldsComparer() factory method tries to figure out which IFieldsComparer to return from the FieldsComparersTypes dictionary. If an appropriate IFieldsComparer is found for the two fields, the method uses Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.CreateObject() — this is defined in Sitecore.Kernel.dll — to create the instance that is defined in the type attribute of the XmlNode that is stored in the FieldsComparersTypes dictionary.
If an appropriate IFieldsComparer cannot be determined for the passed fields, then the Null Object IFieldsComparer — this is injected into the NullFieldsComparer property via the Sitecore Configuration Factory — is returned.

It has been known since ancient times that smoke has a calming effect on bees. Guard bees and bees that are injured during a hive inspection release pheromones to send signals to the other bees to warn them of danger, but the smoke masks these chemicals, disrupting the colony's defensive response.The smoke has another effect on the bees too - it causes a feeding response. This is because if the bees think there is a fire they will plan to leave the hive and they want to stock up on food first. When a bee eats honey its abdomen swells which makes it difficult for it to sting. You should puff a little smoke around the entrance to the hive about 5-10 minutes before you open it. This starts the fire drill and they will hopefully be full of honey and unable to sting when you open the hive. Once inside the hive - you should smoke a little on the tops of the frames as you inspect the colony. This traditional smoker is a stainless steel container with bellows attached in which you light a small fire. You can burn a variety of materials such as dried leaves, cardboard or tightly packed dry grass but it is important that the smoke is cold and does not burn the bees. This smoker has a diameter of 10cm and has a protection frame.

Disable autocomplete
 In 1999, for the first time in Microsoft's IE 5 browser, Microsoft implemented auto-completion of text fields in forms, which allowed you not to enter the text that you already entered into the field with the given name (including on another site). Then a custom tag extension appeared: autocomplete attribute, setting it to off allowed to disable this functionality for a specific field. Now all popular browsers (suggested that besides Opera) support autocomplete and this attribute. It is also introduced in the HTML 5 standard. However, website developers often neglect it.
 Credit cards
 The most important place to use it is the credit card number entry field. It should be remembered that the browser remembers all the values entered in this field. For example, Firefox 3.5.x does this in the formhistory.sqlite file in the user profile, where they lie in the clear. Setting a master password in the Firefox password manager does not encrypt this file, and I did not find the extensions that would do this (tell me if you know these). I often use web shops and, having entered in the search in my favorite file viewer the first four digits of my card number (which, by the way, are the same for all cards of my bank), I found five copies of the card number under different field names: cc_number, cregit_num , CARDNUM, ctl00 $ cphBody $ txtCardNumber and cardnr. Within visibility in three cases, I found a cardholder name, in two cases, expiration date (often it is suggested to choose from the drop-down list, therefore it is not always remembered), in four cases the CVV code. I note that not all shops need a CVV code; in many it is possible to successfully buy without entering it.
 This means a simple thing: a person with a trained eye will need about two minutes of access to an unlocked computer in order to steal the credit card number from which you used to buy something. There is even nothing to say about the expanse for trojans. At the same time, I don't see a simple way to clean it all at once without touching the other autocomplete fields: I need to look for the sqllite database editor, install an addon for managing forms (for example, Form History Control - thanks to Source ) or delete it from the field on all relevant sites (and who remembers them) ?). I temporarily solved the problem by creating an HTML file of such content: Having opened it in the browser, I clicked "down" and "delete" in each field. Immediately after this, the card numbers disappeared from formhistory.sqlite.
 If your site asks for information about the card, be sure to add the autocomplete="off"number, card holder and cvv code to the input field. It would be great to see support from browsers as well. For example, an extension for Firefox that allows you to selectively save text in accordance with a regular expression. For the card number, everything is simple: we do not save 16 digits in a row. I don't remember that I entered any other 16-digit numbers that I would like to remember in autocomplete. Encrypting autocomplete data using a master password would also be appropriate.
 Captcha
 This is not a security issue, but it is often annoying. If your site offers to enter captcha, auto-complete must be turned off, because it still does not repeat. I even saw this on Google:
 Own autofill
 If you yourself have implemented autocomplete (for example, with loading options through Ajax), then do not forget to disable the browser. Usually they don't forget, but I came across this, for example, on the Wikiled website : The
 upper version was proposed by the browser, and the lower ones were autocompleted by the website itself (some kind of hint about the on-screen keyboard also got in). As a result, using site autofill is very difficult, especially from the keyboard, as the browser intercepts the arrows.
 In general, moral: for each text field that you create, on the machine, figure out whether the user will benefit from autocomplete in this field. If not, turn it off. By the way, the default autocomplete can be disabled for the entire form using
 , and then, if necessary, enable for individual fields.
 Upd: In order for the XHTML document to pass W3C validation , you can extend the DTD, for example, like this:
 ]>

<input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="test"/>

Mar 2004Laser Components GmbHRequest Info
WILMINGTON, Mass., March 25 -- Laser Components GmbH has introduced JenColour, a product line of color sensor integrated circuits (ICs) that combines the qualitative advantages of an interference filter directly deposited onto a Si-wafer with a PIN-diode technology optimized for the visual wavelength range. This technology has already been proven in many applications where color recognition in the automated process technology and simple measurement tasks for color deviation using hand-held equipment were solved.
The achievable quality of the color measurement significantly depends on the type and quality of the filter function. The new generation of color sensors is based on the implementation of the standard distribution functions as defined in the DIN 5033. This implementation method allows a color measurement with spectral properties using the three-range procedure. Compared to conventional standard PIN technologies, which reach their maximum between 600 nm and 800 nm and a lower sensitivity in the blue spectral range, the maximum sensitivity of the technology used in JenColour is approx. 580 nm.

Home to the famous Iron Canyons, Aequitas has reddish iron oxide dust (hematite) covering much of its surface, and significant blue cobalt deposits that freckle the terrain. Turian explorers have discovered hot springs in the polar ice caps, heated by magma in the planet's crust. In a strange combination of science and hucksterism, a small facility exports water from these springs, which is bottled and sold as having medicinal properties. The funds are then used to maintain a research station, which has discovered some fossil evidence that Aequitas once harbored microscopic life based on deoxyribonucleic acids in these springs.

There are some movies that, on some level, will appeal to people who are visually impaired.
That is, the visual component of the experience will be present, but the auditory component is absent.
It is not uncommon for blind people to experience these movies as if they were having a normal experience.
But when you are watching a movie, the experience is so different.
It's much more interactive.
This is especially true when you're blind.
In fact, blind people have the highest percentage of participation in cinema of any age group.
There are some titles that, like Star Trek: Into Darkness and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, will have you hearing what's happening in the movie in your head.
However, those are rare.
So, what makes a movie good for blind moviegoers?
Here are some of the most popular movies on the market right now, and their accessibility for blind and visually impaired people: The Fifth Element: The fourth and final installment of the popular animated series is available on VOD.
There's also an iPad version of the film available for download.

Dibrugarh History
The Birth of Dibrugarh Town
Urbanization in mordern India has been greatly influenced by the British Empire. Like many other great Indian cities and town, it was the Britishers that discovered Dibrugarh as another potential hub in the Upper Assam Region of the North-East india. Being located at the confluence of the mighty Brahmaputtra and Dihing River, Dibrugrah commands great importance for the British on various groundsmilitary, administrative, commercial and industrial. Initialy, Dibrugarh Town was founded as a center of strategic importance, and it quickly beacme the aministrative center. During World War-II the town was the principal military base and was used as a transit camp for the evacuees of Burma. In the year 1840, the town was made the district headquarters of Dibrugarh.
The Name
It is said that Dibrugarh owes its name from the compound of two words. The word 'Dibru' or 'Dibaru' and 'Garh'(fort). Dibru or Dibaru is a stream that used to flow to the south of present Dibrugarh Town. When the British set up their militay base in this area, they constructed a Fort on the bank of Dibaru. Hence the name Dibrugarh was coined.
Natural Resources
Apart from its importance as strategic center, Dibrugarh attracts the Britishers with its natural wealth greatly. Tea was discovered by the British as early as 1823, and Chuba 20miles to east of Dibrugarh town was the place where the British made their first experiement with Tea Cultivation. In 1882 Oil was discovered in Digboy and in 1876 Coal was found in Ledo and Margherita.
Today Oil and Tea are the major industries of the District. Duliajan 50 km from Dibrugarh Town is the headquarter of the Oil India Ltd. The Fertiliser Corporation of India and Assam Petro-Chemicals Ltd. At Namrup located at a distance of 80 km from Dibrugarh Town. Besides, The Assam Gas Co. at Duliajan, NEEPCO near Duliajan are some of the other major industries in Dibrugarh.

How did Felix Baumgartner's pressure suit and space capsule keep him alive?
As Felix Baumgartner made the journey to the edge of space his survival depended on two crucial pieces of equipment: his pressure suit and space capsule. His capsule was pressurised to protect him from the near vacuum of space outside, conditions that would literally make his blood boil. His first line of defence, however, was his space suit which he had to pressurise himself before making his descent. The suit had to be specially designed to allow him the freedom to manoeuvre whilst in free-fall. Even so, Felix struggled with the suit and things could have ended in disaster during training.
This clip could be used to stimulate discussion about material science. Students could be asked to consider what properties the materials used to construct Felix's space suit and capsule would need to withstand extreme altitude. This is the third of six clips from 'The Science of Space Dive' and this clip could be used in conjunction with the others.
This clip could be relevant to teaching Science at KS3 and KS4 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and at National 4/5 or Higher in Scotland.

Kevin Dalton Johnson's Captured Africans is a memorial to enslaved Africans transported on ships originating out of Lancaster as part of the Transatlantic slave trade. It stands on St George's Quay in Lancaster and was unveiled in 2005.
The Transatlantic slave trade lasted upwards of 300 years. It was a brutal system by which millions of African men, women and children were captured from their homelands, bought and sold as property – a status inherited by their children – and used to produce sugar, cotton and other raw materials for huge profit in the European and North American markets. British involvement in the slave trade was banned in 1807, and slavery itself eventually abolished in Britain and its empire in 1833. Its legacy can still be felt in Britain and the wider world today.
Lancaster developed into a significant British slave port. In the 1700s around 200 slave ships sailed out of Lancaster bound for Africa. Between 1750 and 1790 alone, Lancaster merchants were responsible for the forced transportation of around 29,000 African men, women and children across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas.
The sculpture reflects a cross-section of a slave ship sailing on a mosaic Atlantic Ocean:
- The mosaic illustrates the triangular trade route between Europe, Africa and the Americas
- A series of figures in different poses represent the Africans who were transported across the Atlantic
- Six perspex plinths represent the layers of decks in the hold of the ship where the captured African people were carried in iron shackles, packed like cargo
- The bottom plinth is labelled Slaves and is embedded with the famous image of the slave ship Brooks, used by the abolition movement to raise awareness of this cruelty
- The next four plinths are labelled with commodities produced by enslaved Africans: Sugar, Mahogany, Rum, Cotton
- The top plinth is labelled Wealth and is embedded with coins, reflecting the enormous profits generated by the slave trade
- The stainless-steel column lists many of the ships that sailed from Lancaster and the number of slaves they captured and transported.
The memorial was proposed by Dr Alan Rice at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) and commissioned as part of the Slave Trade Art Memorial project (STAMP). It was created by artist Kevin Dalton-Johnson with support from mosaic artist Ann McArdle, and local young people who made the iron figures. It is designed to encourage people to pause and reflect on the human cost of transatlantic slavery and its legacies.

This class will begin with a short indoor introduction to basic butterfly biology and butterfly family identification. In the field, we will visit several different habitats to search for summer species, such as Rocky Mountain parnassian, Edwards' fritillary, ruddy copper, and arctic blue. We will learn to ID these species and also discuss their amazing life histories and ecology, host-plant associations, and conservation concerns. The class will focus on butterfly observation through binoculars; however, the instructor will have a net-and-release permit to allow participants a close-up look at a variety of species.

Flickering Pixels; Flickering Faith?
"Flickering pixels compose the screens of life, from televisions to cell phones to computers. These screens, regardless of their content, change our brains, alter our lives, and shape our faith all without our permission or knowledge." - Shane Hipps,
In his new book, Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith Shane Hipps (_URL_) begins with a bold assumption, albeit an unoriginal one. In a recent interview at the National Pastor's Convention in San Diego, Hipps was interviewed by none other than Rob Bell, teaching pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI and the creative force behind the popular Nooma video series (postmodern parables in video format). In the interview Hipps told a crowd of several thousand pastors and church leaders, "We used to think that the message [of the Gospel] never changed. The media might change, but the message remained the same. Well, that's not true, the media is the message."
In 2006 Hipps wrote a book entitled The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture: How Media Shapes Faith, the Gospel and Church (Zondervan 2006). Hipps candidly admits that Hidden Power concerned itself with the narrow world contained inside the Church. Flickering Pixels is Hipps' attempt to utilize and expand upon the themes of his first book to speak into a wider culture. Hipps' purpose, he asserts, is to illuminate how media and technology shape issues of both faith and life. Further, Hipps expresses a desire that the reader will begin to "see the world in new ways." (11) Hipps inspiration for both of his books was Marshall McLuhan (_PHONE_), a cultural commentator, professor, writer, sociologist, you name it, who wrote a book entitled "The Medium Is The Message." (_URL_) McLuhan quipped things like "Mud sometimes gives the illusion of depth," and "With telephone and TV it is not so much the message, but the sender that is sent." If you peruse McLuhan's work it is easy to see where Hipps gathers most of his thoughts and extended ideas.
Hipps does make a compelling case for how the medium is not simply a passive vehicle for the message. He uses what he refers to as the "four dimensions of all media," to demonstrate his point and to lay the foundation for what becomes the overall thesis of his book. To begin, Hipps declares that the first dimension of all media is that it amplifies or extends bodily functions as well as social and mental processes. In other words, the binocular extends eyesight, headphones amplifies hearing, and so on. The second dimension of media that Hipps explores deals with irrelevance and obsolescence. He uses the automobile and the horse and buggy as examples. The automobile made the horse and buggy obsolete. It didn't make it extinct, it just changed its use in society. The third dimension of media, according to Hipps, has to do with retrieval. He uses a variety of examples, stating that "the Internet retrieves the telegraph...Painkiller drugs attempt to retrieve the comfort of a mother's womb," and so on. I'm not sure about that last one, to be honest. At any rate, you get the idea.
The fourth dimension is essentially where Hipps lives and breathes when it comes to his critique and assessment of technology and its impact on life and faith. The fourth dimension of media, Hipps asserts, is "the dark dimension," in that it is difficult to predict, and to see. Hipps calls this media that "reverses upon itself." He cites the automobile once again as an example. With the advent of the car, society experienced increased speed and distance in travel, but the unintended and unexpected result of too many cars is traffic congestion, accidents, and sometimes death.
What follows in Flickering is essentially a series of essays on the different ways that we have missed the mark when interpreting technologies like the Internet, photography, print, online communities and much more. Hipps peppers his essays with a smattering of Anabaptist theology---a theology that has obviously both formed and informed his understanding of faith and life (Hipps is, after all, a Mennonite pastor).
The Anabaptist emphasis on communal living, communal Scripture interpretation and communal ideals of faith and cultural interpretation is certainly brought to the fore throughout Flickering. I think that a little more transparency in this regard would have been a good thing. There is a great deal that the wider Church could learn from our Anabaptist brothers and sisters, and I especially enjoyed Hipps' inclusion of Mennonite (_URL_) mediation practices in the chapter "Next Door Enemy," in a document entitled "Agreeing and Disagreeing in Love." The emphasis on face-to-face interaction, communal agreements or covenants---all these things point to what Hipps describes as a way to move toward "meaningful authentic community..." (130) They also stand in sharp contrast to the way that Hipps describes and critiques the way he feels technology has begun to strip us of our ability to be in true community with one another.
One of the quotes that I found interesting in Flickering was in the chapter entitled "Our Nomadic Life." After describing the phenomenon of virtual communities created from blogging, Facebook and other social networking tools on the Internet, Hipps declares, "I find it troubling that so many communities of faith are in hot pursuit of these technologies." He goes on to say, "The Internet is seen as the Holy Grail of 'building community.' However, churches will find the unintended consequences of this medium coming back to bite them..." (115)
I completely understand what Hipps is trying to do in Flickering. In his conclusion, which comes in the form of a short essay entitled "Bend," Hipps recalls the words of his greatest influence, Marshall McLuhan, who once said, "There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is willingness to contemplate what is happening." (182) Hipps characterizes his work as a wake-up call, or more eloquently "an invitation to awareness" that is given in hopes that we might bend instead of breaking under the influence of technology on our life and faith. (182) Hipps is doing, in a much less poetic way, what the Pastoral Poets of the Renaissance did in the face of growing urbanization---hearken back to an idyllic time and a place where simplicity "reigned" and people were happier. I say this with a great deal of humility, careful not to trivialize Hipps skillful argument. But still...it's there.
Additionally, I am not sure that I completely buy into the fact that the Church should eschew virtual communities and creative, thoughtful attempts to reach an ever-growing online population for Christ. When I began working as a youth pastor in the late nineties I quickly found that most of my students were "IM-ing" (instant messaging) on AOL. So, I joined, set up an account and began ministering to them online---because that's where they were. After the turn of the century (strange to say that, right?) I discovered that most of the students in my suburban Chicago youth group were on Xanga--one of the early, accessible, communal blog sites. So I set up a Xanga, and began ministering to them online---because that's where they were. At my next church the students had moved on to MySpace---so I went there. Then they moved on to Facebook---so, you guessed it, I went there.
Now I am working hard to stay in community with colleagues, parishoners, college-age stage students, and many more who are part of a variety of online communities from Facebook to Squidoo to Twitter. I don't blog incessantly, but when I do blog the folks in my online community have immediate access to my thoughts and can interact with them if they so choose. I also am able to reach hundreds of people with my podcast, Squidoo pages, etc. I am enriched by the feedback I receive from my colleagues and friends (and even from random strangers). And further, I find I have drawn closer to some of my friends and colleagues by reading their thoughts, "talking" to them online, etc.
I think that the reality we are facing is that the Church needs to shed its fortress mentality and stop assuming that people will come to us. We need to go where people are, and where they are more often than not is online. And there is plenty of community to be found there.
Having said all of that, I do agree with Hipps that far too many of us are becoming addicted to the rush of information that we are constantly being fed. As Christians we do need to live incarnational lives, and to realize that the medium God has chosen to convey his grace and peace to the world through is the Church. And if Hipps is right about his theory of dimensions (he very well may be), the Church has the potential to mess it up, and good---to reverse upon itself and do more harm than good. We need to realize, though, that the Church's immorality has far less to do with its recent infatuation with technology and much more to do with the fact that it is made

ptunnel - tunnel TCP connections over ICMP echo request/reply packets.
ptunnel(8) Yellow Lemon Software ptunnel(8)
NAME
ptunnel - tunnel TCP connections over ICMP echo request/reply packets.
SYNOPSIS
ptunnel -p proxy_address -lp listen_port -da destination_address -dp dest_port [-c network_device] [-v verbosity] [-f file] [-udp] [-syslog]

ptunnel [-c network_device] [-v verbosity] [-f file] [-udp] [-syslog] [-daemon file]

ptunnel [-u] [-x password] [-setuid user] [-setgid group] [-chroot dir] [-setcon context]

ptunnel -h
DESCRIPTION
ptunnel is an application that allows you to reliably tunnel TCP connections to a remote host using ICMP echo request and reply packets, commonly known as ping requests and replies. At first glance, this might seem like a rather useless thing to do, but it can actually come in handy in some cases. The following example illustrates the main motivation in creating ptunnel:
Setting: You're on the go, and stumble across an open wireless network. The network gives you an IP address, but won't let you send TCP or UDP packets out to the rest of the internet, for instance to check your mail. What to do? By chance, you discover that the network will allow you to ping any computer on the rest of the internet. With ptunnel, you can utilize this feature to check your mail, or do other things that require TCP.
OPTIONS
Client options:
-p proxy_address
Specify the host on which the proxy is running.
-lp listen_port
Specifies the port on which the client will listen for incoming TCP connections.
-da destination_addr
Specifies the address to which you want your packets tunneled after reaching the proxy when in client mode, or restricts the destination packets can be forwarded to when in server mode.
-dp destination_port
Specifies/restrict the port that the proxy should tunnel the TCP connection to.
Shared options:
-c network_device
Specify the network interface to capture packets from. Note that packet capturing isn't always necessary, but you should try this if you experience problems with ptunnel.
-v verbosity
Controls the verbosity level. -1 is no output, 0 shows errors only, 1 shows info messages, 2 gives more output, 3 provides even more output, level 4 displays debug info and level 5 displays absolutely everything, including the nasty details of sends and receives.
-udp
Enables tunneling over UDP port 53 (DNS) instead of using ICMP. This will only work if your proxy can accept incoming traffic on port 53, and the client is able to send data to the proxy on port 53. Note that this option does not wrap ptunnel's data in DNS-compliant packets. This option must be given on both the proxy and client side for things to work correctly.
-syslog (Not available on Windows.)
Changes logging to use the built-in syslog fascility.
-daemon file (Not available on Windows.)
Run in background, writing PID in file.
-u
Attempts to run ptunnel without privileges. This doesn't usually work! On UNIX systems please consider using the following three options instead:
-setuid user (Not available on Windows.)
When started in privileged mode, drop down to user's rights as soon as possible.
-setgid group (Not available on Windows.)
When started in privileged mode, drop down to group's rights as soon as possible.
-chroot dir (Not available on Windows.)
When started in privileged mode, restrict file access to the specified directory.
-setcon context (Not available on Windows.)
Set SELinux context when all there is left to do are network I/O operations. In order to be able to combine with -chroot you will have to 'mount --bind /proc /chrootdir/proc'
-x password
Specifies a password or passphrase to use. This will allow you to protect the proxy from use by others who don't know the password. It needs to be specified on both proxy and client.
-f file
Specifies a log file. If you specify -syslog, syslog is always used instead.
-h
Displays brief usage information.

EXAMPLES
The following assumes that ptunnel is run as root, both on the proxy and client. To tunnel ssh connections from the client machine via a proxy running on proxy.pingtunnel.com to the computer login.domain.com, the following command line would be used:
ptunnel -p proxy.pingtunnel.com -lp 8000 -da login.domain.com -dp 22
An ssh connection to login.domain.com can now be established as follows:
ssh -p 8000 localhost
If ssh complains about potential man-in-the-middle attacks, simply remove the offending key from the known_hosts file. The warning/error is expected if you have previously ssh'd to your local computer (i.e., ssh localhost), or you have used ptunnel to forward ssh connections to different hosts.

Of course, for all of this to work, you need to start the proxy on your proxy-computer (proxy.pingtunnel.com). Doing this is very simple:

ptunnel

If you find that the proxy isn't working, you will need to enable packet capturing on the main network device. Currently this device is assumed to be an ethernet-device (i.e., ethernet or wireless). Packet capturing is enabled by giving the -c switch, and supplying the device name to capture packets on (for instance eth0 or en1). The same goes for the client. On Mac OS X, packet capturing must always be enabled (both for proxy and client), as resent packets won't be received otherwise.

To protect yourself from others using your proxy, you can protect access to it with a password using the <tt>-x</tt> switch. The password is never sent in the clear, but keep in mind that it may be visible from tools like top or ps, which can display the command line used to start an application.

EXIT STATUS
ptunnel does not exit until forced to do so by an interrupt (Ctrl-C) or if it crashes.
BUGS
ptunnel currently does not handle packet capturing on network interfaces other than ethernet or wireless correctly.

Betty WilliamsArticle Free Pass
Betty Williams, byname of Elizabeth Williams (born May 22, 1943, Belfast, N.Ire.), Northern Irish peace activist who, with Máiread Maguire and Ciaran McKeown, founded the Peace People, a grassroots movement dedicated to ending the sectarian strife in Northern Ireland. For her work, Williams shared with Maguire the 1976 Nobel Prize for Peace.
Williams, an office worker and wife and mother, took little part in public life until August 1976, when she witnessed an incident that moved her to speak out. An Irish Republican Army terrorist was shot by British troops while fleeing in a car, and the car went out of control and struck several people, killing three children. Williams immediately began circulating petitions in Protestant neighbourhoods calling for an end to sectarian violence. This activity soon brought her into association with Maguire (then Máiread Corrigan), an aunt of the slain children, who had been similarly galvanized into action. Together they founded the Peace People to advocate for an end to the Northern Ireland conflict.
Williams left the Peace People organization in the early 1980s. Soon afterward she immigrated to the United States, where she resided for two decades before moving to the Republic of Ireland. Williams founded the World Centers of Compassion for Children International in 1997. In 2006 she joined Maguire and fellow Nobel Peace Prize winners Shirin Ebadi, Jody Williams, Wangari Maathai, and Rigoberta Menchú to found the Nobel Women's Initiative.

What OP Stands for?
What Does OP Mean: "OP" means "Original Poster" or "Original Post". While these two terms are widely used on message boards and Internet forums, they have different meanings. The original poster is the person who initiates the discussion thread, forum topic, or Reddit post.
They often start conversations or ask questions. If they are seeking advice about a specific situation, they reply to comments or messages in that thread. When others refer to the person who started the thread, they type "OP" instead of their username.
The "original post" first appears when you open the thread created by the original poster. This is a less common use of both. It is used when the post contains a lot of information, such as "megatrends," or guides that contain many important links, updates, and images.
What does OP stand for in gaming?
OP – OP means Over Powered or more power. This phrase is commonly used when a player defeats an enemy with relative ease. GG – GG stands for Good Game and is usually said after completing a match, showing gratitude to teammates, and thanking them.
What does OP stand for in Minecraft?
OP stands for Operator. The term is commonly used only in LANs or multiplayer servers. When using a plug-in or mod, you can normally rank the player; However, in vanilla Minecraft, it means "being allowed to use the command"
What is op on Instagram?
"OP means 'original poster', which means the person who started and is responsible for the particular conversation, not just on Instagram, it is very much used everywhere on the Internet. Just to clarify things." For, on Instagram, OP would be the person who posted the image/video that people are commenting on. "


Warehouse codebase
Warehouse uses the Pyramid web framework, the SQLAlchemy ORM, and Postgres for its database. Warehouse's front end uses Jinja2 templates.
The production deployment for Warehouse is deployed using Cabotage, which manages Docker containers deployed via Kubernetes.
In the development environment, we use several Docker containers orchestrated by Docker Compose to manage running the containers and the connections between them.
Since Warehouse was built on top of an existing database (for legacy PyPI) and developers had to fit our ORM to the existing tables, some of the code in the ORM may not look like code from the SQLAlchemy documentation. There are some places where joins are done using name-based logic instead of a foreign key (but this may change in the future).
Warehouse also uses hybrid URL traversal and dispatch. Using factory classes, resources are provided directly to the views based on the URL pattern. This method of handling URLs may be unfamiliar to developers used to other web frameworks, such as Django or Flask. This article has a helpful discussion of the differences between URL dispatch and traversal in Pyramid.
Usage assumptions and concepts
See PyPI help and the glossary section of UI principles to understand projects, releases, packages, maintainers, authors, and owners.
Warehouse is specifically the codebase for the official Python Package Index, and thus focuses on architecture and features for PyPI and Test PyPI. People and groups who want to run their own package indexes usually use other tools, like devpi.
Warehouse serves four main classes of users:
 1. People who are not logged in. This accounts for the majority of browser traffic and all API download traffic.
 2. Owners/maintainers of one or more projects. This accounts for almost all writes. A user must create and use a PyPI account to maintain or own a project, and there is no particular functionality available to a logged-in user other than to manage projects they own/maintain. As of March 2018, PyPI had about 270,000 users, and Test PyPI had about 30,000 users.
 3. PyPI application moderators. These users have a subset of the permissions of PyPI application administrators to assist in some routine administration tasks such as adding new trove classifiers, adjusting upload limits for distribution packages, and reviewing malware verdicts.
 4. PyPI application administrators, e.g., Ernest W. Durbin III, Dustin Ingram, and Donald Stufft, who can ban spam/malware projects, help users with account recovery, and so on. There are under ten such admins.
Since reads are much more common than writes (much more goes out than goes in), we try to cache as much as possible.
File and directory structure
The top-level directory of the Warehouse repo contains files including:
 - LICENSE
 - CONTRIBUTING.rst (the contribution guide)
 - README.rst
 - requirements.txt for the Warehouse virtual environment
 - Dockerfile: creates the Docker containers that Warehouse runs in
 - docker-compose.yml file configures Docker Compose
 - setup.cfg for test configuration
 - Makefile: commands to spin up Docker Compose and the Docker containers, run the linter and other tests, etc.
 - files associated with Warehouse's front end, e.g., Gulpfile.babel.js
Directories within the repository:
Historical context & deprecations
For the history of Python packaging and distribution, see the PyPA history page.
From the early 2000s till April 2018, the legacy PyPI codebase, not Warehouse, powered PyPI. Warehouse deliberately does not provide some features that users may be used to from the legacy site, such as:

1C:Enterprise script is an important part of 1C:Enterprise technological platform because it provides developers with tools for describing custom applied solution algorithms.
The major features of 1C:Enterprise script are:
- preliminary compilation: modules that contain 1C:Enterprise script are converted into internal code before their execution;
- compiled modules are cached in memory;
- weak typing: a variable type is defined by the stored value and can change over time;
- no programming description of configuration objects: developers can use the objects that are built into the platform or applied solution objects created in a visual editor.
The methodology of applied solution creation defines 1C:Enterprise script purpose. Applied solutions based on 1C:Enterprise are never written in pure code. Developers create applied solutions mostly in visual editors. This includes creation of configuration objects and specifying their properties, presentation forms, interrelations, and so on. 1C:Enterprise script is only required for describing nonstandard behavior of applied solution objects and custom data processing algorithms.
Therefore, modules that contain 1C:Enterprise script are only used in certain situations that might occur at run time. These situations are called events. Events can be related to the functionality of applied solution objects or to the applied solution itself.
For example, the functionality of the applied solution object Catalog includes a set of events. One of them is BeforeWrite.
This event occurs before the catalog item data is written to the database. A developer can use 1C:Enterprise script to write an algorithm that checks whether the data entered by user is valid. By adding the algorithm to the appropriate module, the developer ensures that every time a user attempts to save a catalog item the platform will run the algorithm for checking whether the user filled all mandatory catalog attributes.
In other words, 1C:Enterprise script is a script language for describing business logic, and 1C:Enterprise script module calls are event-driven. Modules are executed when specific events occur in the applied solution.
Universal value collections
1C:Enterprise script includes a large variety of objects. Of course, applied objects form the most essential object group because they are used for describing business logic algorithms.
However, objects that store temporary user session data are also important. They usually serve for collecting, grouping, analyzing, and processing data.
Let us briefly review their functionalities.
A numbered collection of values that can have any type. You can access an array element by its index. An array element can be an array itself, which allows building multidimensional arrays.
A named collection that consists of key-value pairs. Keys always have string type and values can have any type. You can access a structure element by its key (i.e. by name). Structures are intended for storing a small number of values where each value has a unique name.
A collection of key-value pairs, similar to a structure, with the following difference: keys can have almost any type.
List of values
A list of values is intended mostly for interface tasks. Lists of values are used for building and managing dynamic value sets (which includes adding, editing, deleting, and sorting elements). They can store values of any type. Moreover, a single list can store values of different types.
For example, you can use a list of values for selecting a specific document from the list of documents generated using a complex algorithm.
A value table is used for building and managing dynamic value sets. It can store values of any type. A single table can store values of different types.
For example, you can use a value table for creating a presentation for a list of catalog items in a form, provided that the list of catalog items is generated using a complex algorithm.
A value tree is a dynamically generated set of values of any type, similar to a value table. Unlike value table rows, rows of a value tree can form hierarchical structures. Each tree row can have a set of subordinate rows, which, in turn, can also have subordinate rows, and so on. Searching for values, sorting, and getting totals can be performed either within the current hierarchy level or within the current level and all subordinate levels.
An object wrapper over multidimensional SAFEARRAY from COM. COMSafeArray is used for creating and managing SAFEARRAY instances for exchanging data between COM objects.
An array that cannot be changed. It is filled by the platform during the initialization of objects of this type. Alternatively, a developer can fill it using the array constructor.
Text and module editor
Developers can use the text and module editor for writing or editing 1C:Enterprise script. The editor provides handy tools for writing, editing, and performing syntax checks.

In this paper, we present robust semi-blind (SB) algorithms for the estimation of beamforming vectors for multiple-input multiple-output wireless communication. The transmitted symbol block is assumed to comprise of a known sequence of training (pilot) symbols followed by information bearing blind (unknown) data symbols. Analytical expressions are derived for the robust SB estimators of the MIMO receive and transmit beamforming vectors. These robust SB estimators employ a preliminary estimate obtained from the pilot symbol sequence and leverage the second-order statistical information from the blind data symbols. We employ the theory of Lagrangian duality to derive the robust estimate of the receive beamforming vector by maximizing an inner product, while constraining the channel estimate to lie in a confidence sphere centered at the initial pilot estimate. Two different schemes are then proposed for computing the robust estimate of the MIMO transmit beamforming vector. Simulation results presented in the end illustrate the superior performance of the robust SB estimators.

The fastest, most economical way to produce new houseplants is to divide them from existing ones. This technique works well with the commonly available indoor plants listed at far right. They multiply by offsets ― little plants that form along the sides of the parent. The offsets are usually connected to the parent by a single root that's easy to sever.
You can replant the offsets in smaller pots to display around the house or to give as gifts. Or you could organize a party to make dozens of small potted plants to sell as fund-raisers for schools or garden clubs.
How many offspring can you part from a parent? We separated three Chinese evergreen plants from a single parent. We know of one gardener who netted 14 new plants from a single Spathiphyllum in a 6-inch pot that cost $6.95 at the supermarket.
Once you've potted the divisions, treat them with extra care until their roots become established. Keep the soil consistently moist. Give them bright light but no direct sun. Don't fertilize new divisions for at least six months.
1. The night before you divide it, thoroughly soak the parent plant by placing it in a sink or bucket filled with water so that the top of the pot is just below the water.
2. Spread newspaper or plastic sheeting on a work surface. Carefully remove the plant from the nursery pot.
3. Gently shake excess soil from the root mass so you can clearly see the natural divisions between the offsets.
4. Pry the parent plant apart into individual divisions, as shown here, taking care to break as few roots as possible.
5. Immediately replant the divisions in 4-inch or larger pots filled with fresh potting mix. Three Chinese evergreen plants were separated from the parent pictured at left.
6. Water the divisions thoroughly to keep the soil evenly moist (but not soggy) until new roots form.
Purchase plants in 6-inch or larger pots. The following tolerate low indoor light and require little care.
Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis')
Cast-iron plant (Aspidistra elatior and A. e. 'Variegata')
Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema modestum)
Haworthia attenuata and H. fasciata
Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Spathiphyllum (S. wallisii 'Clevelandii', S. 'Mauna Loa', and S. 'Sensation')
Western maidenhair fern (Adiantum aleuticum)

Sundered Skies
Sundered Skies is a complete setting and Plot Point campaign from Triple Ace Games for Savage Worlds. Like other Savage World settings, it presents an enclosed environment, here a series of islands that float in a constantly brilliant sky without night. Too much exposure to this constant light causes Glowmadness and will eventually send people into bestial rages. The highest isles have ice mines, and provide water for the very hot lowest ones. Other islands consist of seams of ore, deep forests, shattered islands, and tethered skyships. Travel between the very different islands is done by oar, steam, or wind driven skyships, navigation requiring a handful of soil from the destination island. Peace between the islands is kept by the Trade Council which ensures each island receives the necessary imports.
Besides the traditional fantasy RPG races of Dwarves, Humans, Orcs, and the part plant Elves (who are insular and hard edged), players can be the Dragon-worshipping Drakin (who can become dragon-like), the animal-like Wildings (escaped slaves to the Elves), and the Glowborn, humanoids with Goblinoid memories. Possible character roles include Couriers, Musketeers, Pirates, Scavengers, and Priests dedicated to peace, song, war, and wind. Sundered Skies' Plot Point campaign consists of 30 Savage Tales (scenarios) which begin by giving the characters a skyship and then lets them explore the islands of the Sundered Skies and its secrets. Like other Savage Worlds' settings, Sundered Skies is pulpy and swashbuckling in feel, but its British author has given it a grim edge too.
