In the ancient German province of Westphalia, the surname Yeager evolved. It is a nickname, a style of hereditary surname that developed out of the traditional German eke-names, that identified people by naming them after a physical characteristic or other identifiable trait. Yeager is a name for a person who was known for his prowess and wisdom as a hunter. The name Yeager is derived from the German word "jage," which is derived from Old German word "jagen," which means "to hunt." Hunting was considered a knightly pursuit during the feudal era.
The surname Yeager was first found in the county of Mark (Dortmund,) where the family was anciently associated with the political and religious conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region. The family founded numerous branches, many of which acquired manors and estates in surrounding regions, where they contributed to the prosperity of their society. Ancient chronicles first mention a branch of the family acquiring the estates of Kaackstedt and Ringenwalde in the district of Templin around 1376, and the estate of Zehlendorf in the district of Nieder-Barnim, around 1451. Venator, the Latin form of the name, often appears in chronicles in place of Jaeger.
In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Yeager include Jaeger, Jeger, Jager, Jaegger, Jegger, Jagger, Jaegers, Jagers, Jaggers, Jaeggers and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Yeager research. Another 381 words (27 lines of text) covering the years 1678, 1698, 1771, 1780, and 1843 are included under the topic Early Yeager History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

For many Germans, emigration to North America was an inviting alternative to the trials of life in the old country. From the mid-17th into the present century, thousands of Germans migrated across the Atlanti c. They capitalized on the chance to escape poverty and persecution, and to own their own land. After 1650, Germans settled throughout the states of Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many also landed in Canada, settling in Ontario or father west on the rich land of the prairies. Among them:

Introduction
Historically, Azure OpenAI Studio, the dedicated web console for managing Azure OpenAI Service resources, posed a significant limitation: it did not permit users to fully disable content filters. This restriction often hampered those needing finer control over their AI interactions.
Recently, Microsoft has taken a transformative step by introducing Azure AI Studio. This unified web console for managing all AI resources on Azure breaks the mold by allowing users not just to modify but also to completely turn off the content filters in Azure OpenAI Service, heralding a new era of flexibility and customization in AI resource management.
Guide to Managing Azure OpenAI Service Resources in Azure AI Studio
 1. Access Azure AI Studio: Log in to Azure AI Studio. This platform offers enhanced functionalities compared to the older Azure OpenAI Studio.

<![CDATA[Solving the "Too Many Redirects" Error with Cloudflare and Certbot]]> _URL_ 2023-11-16T16:59:06.000Z Introduction
Recently, I purchased a new domain through Cloudflare and set up DNS to point to an app on my server. However, when I tried to access the domain, I was met with a "too many redirects" error.
Understanding the Issue
After some troubleshooting, I discovered the root cause of the problem.
By default, Cloudflare's DNS SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to Flexible. However, I had already installed SSL certificates on my server using certbot. This discrepancy led to an issue where both my server and Cloudflare were attempting to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS, resulting in a redirect loop.
The Solution
To resolve this, I navigated to Cloudflare's SSL/TLS settings and switched the encryption mode from Flexible to Full. This immediately rectified the problem. It's worth noting that the other options Full (Strict) and Off, along with the default Flexible, were not suitable for my setup.
Steps to Configure SSL/TLS on Cloudflare
Here are the steps to adjust your SSL/TLS settings on Cloudflare:
 1. Log in to your Cloudflare account.
 2. Navigate to the domain experiencing issues.
 3. Click on the SSL/TLS tab.
 4. In the Overview section, you'll find the SSL/TLS encryption mode. Select Full.
By setting the SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full, you're telling Cloudflare to connect to your origin server using HTTPS because it expects your server to have an SSL certificate.
Understanding Cloudflare's SSL/TLS Encryption Modes
Cloudflare offers four SSL/TLS encryption modes, each serving a different purpose based on your server's configuration and your specific needs. Here's what each option does:
 1. Off: When this mode is selected, no SSL is applied to your traffic, and all connections are served over HTTP. This is not recommended for most sites, especially those handling sensitive data, as it does not provide any encryption or security.
 2. Flexible: In this mode, traffic between your site's visitors and Cloudflare is secured, but traffic between Cloudflare and your server is not. This means that data is not encrypted for the entire journey and could be exposed if your server is compromised. This option is generally used when the server doesn't have an SSL certificate installed.
 3. Full: This mode secures traffic between both your site's visitors and Cloudflare, and between Cloudflare and your server. However, it doesn't verify the certificate on your server, meaning it will accept any SSL certificate, even if it's expired or issued by an unrecognized certificate authority. This is a good option if you have an SSL certificate on your server but it's not from a recognized authority.
 4. Full (Strict): This is the most secure option. It works similarly to the "Full" mode but also verifies the certificate on your server. This means that the SSL certificate on your server must be valid and issued by a recognized certificate authority. This option provides the highest level of security and is recommended if your server is equipped with a valid SSL certificate.
When using Cloudflare with a server configured for HTTPS (for example, when you've deployed certificates on your server using Certbot), it's advisable to use either the "Full" or "Full (Strict)" mode. This ensures that the traffic is encrypted throughout its entire journey, from the visitor's browser to your server, providing a secure and smooth browsing experience for your users.
Conclusion
In this article, we've seen how to solve the too many redirects error when using Cloudflare with Certbot. We've also seen how to configure SSL/TLS encryption modes on Cloudflare.

Are your images behaving strangely? Tiling, getting stuck or repeating on scroll?
Prevent image to repeat itself, tiling & get stuck on scroll.
Are you having problems with normal images repeating themselves, tiling, getting stuck and making strange lines all over your website when scrolling up and down? This might be because you have another background image set to repeat!? Follow these steps to prevent image to repeat itself, tiling or get stuck on scroll.
Steps to prevent image from repeat itself, tiling & getting stuck:
- Start by checking if this image problem is occurrin in every browser: Chrome / Safari, Explorer or Firefox. Good to know.
- Validate you code to make sure there are no obvious errors, for example unclosed elements or wrongly nested elements. Validate your website here: _URL_
- Correct all errors (if any) above.
- If you are floating elements or images, use class.clearfix to clear any floats after the element containing floats has ended. Clearfix CSS class might look something like this:
content: " ";
Simply add class.clearfix to any elements containing floats.
- Try to set the background to no-repeat on the element causing problems or the parent of the element causing problems.
- If none of the above works? Are you using several layers of background images on top of eachother? Some fixed, some repeated and so on. Try to remove the backgrounds one by one to see if this fixes the problem, or leads you in the right direction…
(Firefox browser have been having similar problems with images and icons tiling or repeating when this article is written)

The Affair at Néry: 1 September 1914
Publisher: Pen & Sword Military
Early on 1 September 1914, the Germans surprised 1st Cavalry Brigade harboring in the little town of Nry. Their initial bombardment caused chaos and destruction and the British took time to organize themselves. The actions of two batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery were eventually so successful that even today there is a battery known as Nry Battery RHA. The Queens Bays a cavalry regiment, charged in classic style and the Germans, who mistakenly thought they were out numbered, withdrew with heavy casualties.Of the three VCs, two were posthumous.While a small engagement by later Great War standards, Nry is a classic case study of an artillery duel and cavalry action.

Using your hat:
- To remove the bobble, grasp the hat as close to the magnet as possible with one hand and the bobble with the other and snap (as if you were breaking a KitKat). This way you avoid pulling on the hat and the seams.
- To store the hat and its three bobbles in the box, remove the bobble from the hat, put the bobbles in the hat, roll it widthways and put it in the box.
- Some hats (meads) have a "loose" effect - they are designed to fall backwards so feel free to pull them back a little to put them on.
- Our materials are tested for pilling, however, like with any fabric it happens after a while. To delay this, avoid carrying your hat in the bottom of a bag or in a place where it could rub and turn it over if it does.
Caring for your hat:
- Wash at 30 °C or 40 °C without the bobbles! It's more environmentally friendly and it works very well. The bobbles don't go through the wash because there is a small spot of glue to hold the threads together.
- Air-dry flat, avoid tumble drying clothes, it's not very environmentally friendly and it will damage your super hat.
- Clean the bobbles with a damp cloth, do not machine wash.

Laser Treatments for Feet
Laser treatments for feet are now available for a variety of conditions including, nail fungus, spider veins, scar reduction, tattoo removal and the general appearance of skin. Laser Treaments for feet have proven to be very effective. We have 15 years experience in treating nail infections warts, spider veins, and problem scars. Laser wart treatments have proven to be the most effective treatment option in our Westminster office. Laser wart treatments attack the warts in two ways, first they attack the blood supply, and secondly they attack the cells that are hiding the wart virus.
Warts create their own blood supply by hijacking our cells and hiding in them. They trick these cells to call for additional blood supply to support the increased metabolism of the hijacked cells. The little black dot associated with warts aka root, is actually the blood supply for the wart infected cells. Laser treatment cauterizes this blood supply starving the hijacked cells. Heat generated by the laser breaks destroys the cells, that come in contact with the laser energy. This dual mechanism of action (MOA), really works on warts.

One of the little known features of CMS Made Simple is the User Defined tag. Basically, this allows you to write PHP code inside the Admin Panel. Use the 'Add User Defined Tag' button in Extension » User Defined Tags in the Admin Panel, write some code, and then insert into a template or page with {newpluginname}. Simple!
As an example, I've put together a one line plugin/tag that will show your current User Agent information (which browser you're using). The output is right here: CCBot/2.0 (_URL_
If you're not looking at the source, all that is in the page is {user_agent}. To see how this code works, edit the user_agent tag in the Extensions » User Defined Tags page of the admin.
This is a VERY powerful feature if used right. Remember, user defined tags do not get cached, therefore, scripts to rotate ad banners and such will work just fine. Note also that tag code has to be written without opening < ? php and ending ? > tags.

Lit supplies a set of decorators that reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write when defining a component. For example, the @customElement and @property decorators make a basic element definition more compact:
The @customElement decorator defines a custom element, equivalent to calling:
The @property decorator declares a reactive property.
See Reactive properties for more information about configuring properties.
DecoratorSummaryMore Info
@customElementDefines a custom elementAbove
@eventOptionsAdds event listener options.Events
@propertyDefines a public property.Properties
@stateDefines a private state propertyProperties
@queryDefines a property that returns an element in the component template.Shadow DOM
@queryAllDefines a property that returns a list of elements in the component template.Shadow DOM
@queryAsyncDefines a property that returns a promise that resolves to an element in the component template.Shadow DOM
@queryAssignedElementsDefines a property that returns the child elements assigned to a specific slot.Shadow DOM
@queryAssignedNodesDefines a property that returns the child nodes assigned to a specific slot.Shadow DOM
You can import all the lit decorators via the lit/decorators.js module:
To reduce the amount of code needed to run the component, decorators can be imported individually into component code. All decorators are available at lit/decorators/<decorator-name>. For example,
To use decorators, you need to build your code with a compiler such as TypeScript or Babel.
In the future when decorators become a native web platform feature, this may no longer be necessary.
To use decorators with TypeScript, enable the experimentalDecorators compiler option.
You should also ensure that the useDefineForClassFields setting is false. Note, this should only be required when the target is set to esnext or greater, but it's recommended to explicitly ensure this setting is false.
Enabling emitDecoratorMetadata is not required and not recommended.
If you're compiling JavaScript with Babel, you can enable decorators by adding the following plugins and settings:
Note, the @babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties may not be required with the latest versions of Babel.
To set up the plugins, add code like this to your Babel configuration:
Currently the older legacy mode of Babel decorators is not supported, but this may change as Babel evolves. See the Babel documentation if you want to experiment.
Using decorators with TypeScript and Babel
Permalink to "Using decorators with TypeScript and Babel"
When using TypeScript with Babel, it's important to order the TypeScript transform before the decorators transform in your Babel config as follows:
The allowDeclareFields setting is generally not needed, but it can be useful if you want to define a reactive property without using a decorator. For example,
Avoiding issues with class fields and decorators
Permalink to "Avoiding issues with class fields and decorators"
Class fields have a problematic interaction with declaring reactive properties. See Avoiding issues with class fields when declaring properties for more information.
The current decorators stage 3 proposal does not directly address this issue, but it should be solved as the proposal evolves and matures.
When using decorators, transpiler settings for Babel and TypeScript must be configured correctly as shown in the sections above for TypeScript and Babel.

RASS (Radio Acoustic Sounding System) Station Network
Status: Not defined
Observation stations within the RASS station network transmit their observations in the form of a RASS message. The RASS network uses backscattering of radio waves from an acoustic wave front to measure the speed of sound at various heights above the ground. From the speed of sound, the temperature of the air in the planetary boundary layer can be computed.Hourly observations from around 120 stations distributed globally, and the report is transmitted at 6-hourly intervals at the standard hours of observation which are: 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC. The RASS message contains measurements of parameters such as wind speed and temperature.

Wootton Fitzpaine is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in South West England. It lies approximately north-east of Lyme Regis in a small side valley of the River Char, close to the Marshwood Vale. The civil parish covers an area of and includes the ecclesiastical parish and small settlement of Monkton Wyld to the west. In the 2011 Census the civil parish recorded a population of 345 in 180 dwellings, 46 of which (25.6%) had no usual resident.
Wootton Fitzpaine village consists primarily of two small centres: a larger western part comprising the village hall and about 50 densely placed houses, and a smaller eastern part comprising about a dozen houses, the church and manor house. The village is sited on greensand and has a history of being agriculturally relatively prosperous.
The village name derives from 'Wodetone', meaning a farm close to a wood, plus the name of the manorial family, Fitzpaine.
The parish church was built mostly between the 13th and 15th centuries but was restored and added to in 1872. It lies within the grounds of the adjacent Wootton House,[1] a three-storey brick-built house constructed around 1765 but also restored and added to in the late 19th century.[2] The rectory dates from the end of the 15th century. Twenty structures within the parish are listed by English Heritage for their historic or architectural interest.
The Wessex Ridgeway and Monarch's Way long-distance footpaths pass through the parish, as does the Liberty Trail, a more local designated way.[3]

The application of adult nursing pads in surgery
by：Moosee 2021-03-13
Adult nursing pad is a disposable sanitary product made of PE film, non-woven fabric, fluff pulp, polymer and other materials. Adult nursing pads can reduce the occurrence of hypothermia in surgical patients, and at the same time reduce the frequency of moving patients. The vital signs are significantly smoother than those of patients with repeated turnings, and the patient feels comfortable. So what are the applications of adult nursing pads in surgery? Let me introduce to you.
1. Before operation: Lay two 90*60cm2 adult nursing pads on the stretcher to isolate the patient's body from direct contact with the stretcher. Depending on the patient's condition, use the patient's own translation or two-person transfer method to move the patient. Move it to the stretcher and cover with the quilt. The general principle of handling is to move lightly, shorten the distance, and save energy. During transportation, keep warm.
2. Intraoperative: Intraoperative disinfectant and various rinsing fluids overflow, the nursing pad can quickly absorb, keep the surface dry, avoid the irritation of the wet bed sheet to the patient's skin, and reduce the loss of skin heat conduction.
3. After operation: Place the scoop stretcher on the flat car, and spread two nursing pads on the stretcher flat, with a nursing pad in the middle corresponding to the patient's waist and hips. After being transported to the ward, the nurses and nurses lift the scoop stretcher to the patient's bed, disassemble the stretcher, check whether the adult nursing pad is flat, and cover the patient with a quilt to prevent loss of body temperature. During the entire transportation process, pay attention to observe the patient's vital signs, lip color, and whether there is any chills.

How Summer Dehydration Can Lead To Cavities And More
Family Dentistry 3 in Winnipeg, MB by Dr. Doug McDermid of Lakewood Dental Centre
Finally, the weather is starting to warm up and the sun is coming out more and more. That means summer is here, and it's time to start getting some exercise outside. Running, hiking, or just playing around the pool at a friend's house can be great fun this time of year.
But these can also dehydrate you. Even if you don't drink too much alcohol or coffee, you sweat a lot more in summer. And dehydration can lead to more cavities and worse.
Call our Winnipeg, MB dental office today at _PHONE_ and schedule your next appointment. A dental cleaning will help protect your teeth and gums, while a dental exam can determine if you have any problems that dehydration might make worse.
Why Wet Teeth Are Healthy Teeth
Getting dehydrated at any time of the year is a problem. You can feel dizzy, nauseous, tired, irritable and more. It also hurts your dental healthy because it leads to dry mouth.
Believe it or not, your teeth and gums depend on saliva to help keep them healthy. Here's what your saliva does for your smile:
 - Gets rid of food particles. Whenever you eat, tiny bits of food and drink are trapped on your teeth and gums. These feed harmful bacteria behind gum disease and cavities, but saliva helps wash them away.
 - Help prevent stains. Dark foods and drinks leave behind tiny stains on your enamel that eventually turn your teeth dark. Saliva cannot stop all stains, but it can help keep some of them away from your teeth.
 - Keep your breath nicer. When you're mouth is dry, it's more likely to have an odor. Saliva helps wash away some of what makes your breath smell, keeping it nicer.
 - Protect your enamel. There's a little amount of calcium and similar minerals in your saliva. These help keep your enamel strong.
How Dehydration Leads To Dental Problems
Here are some of the dental health problems that can happen to you when you're dehydrated and have dry mouth.
DISCOLORED TEETH
When you eat dark foods and drinks (coffee, tomato sauce, tea, chocolate, etc.), a tiny amount gets trapped on your teeth. This leaves behind a stain that's too small to see. But as times flies by, these stains build up until your teeth are dark and brown.
Normally, saliva helps prevent some of these stains from getting trapped on your enamel. But when you have dry mouth thanks to dehydration, the stains build up faster leading to discolored teeth.
WEAK ENAMEL
Because saliva has trace amounts of calcium and similar minerals, it can help keep your enamel strong. Saliva coats your teeth, and the minerals in it soak into the enamel, making it healthier. So when you're dehydrated and have a dry mouth, your teeth aren't getting the minerals they're used to having.
CAVITIES
Tooth decay is caused by harmful bacteria that live in your mouth. They feed on food particles in your mouth, and they produce an acid that erodes holes (or cavities) in your enamel. So the more food particles there are in your mouth, the more cavities you eventually get.
Saliva is supposed to help wash away those food particles, but when you're dehydrated, that's not happening. That's why you can get more cavities when you have a dry mouth.
GUM DISEASE
Cavities aren't the only thing those bacteria can cause. When they live on your gums instead of your teeth, they still produce an acid. But instead of eroding holes in enamel, it irritates and damages your gum tissues. This leads to gum disease.
Because you don't have the saliva you normally do, you are at a higher risk of getting gum disease through dehydration.
HALITOSIS (BAD BREATH)
If you've ever woken up dying of thirst, you probably had bad breath (also known as halitosis). That because a dry mouth doesn't have any saliva to wash away stuff that makes your breath smell. Instead, it just sits in your mouth and causes halitosis.

Ever wanted a rose that smelled like bananas? Maybe a petunia that reeked of root beer? Researchers at the University of Florida Gainesville have isolated 13 genes in flowers that key for the blossom's fragrance. These same genes hold the secrets to improving the tastes of some fruits. According to a news release from UF and an interview in Discovery News, these scientists have already started work on tastier tomatoes, and their first crop of petunias that smell like roses are scheduled to blossom this summer. The genetic modification of flowers for scent was detailed in Plant Journal as well as Phytochemistry, and could herald a new era of designer blossoms. Imagine going to a florist and asking for roses that smelled like bacon. By discovering the genes that code for scent, these scientists have opened the door to genetically modified plants that smell and taste better than ever before.
When you select for one trait, you tend to sacrifice others. The race to breed better blossoms over the past fifty years has improved size and beauty at the cost of scent. The same holds true for food crops – fruit and veggies are getting bigger, but they aren't getting tastier. Even projects that take advantage of genetic modification typically only focus on resistance to parasites and improved yield. The University of Florida work, headed by David Clark, was itself focused on improving pollination by increasing the lifespan of petunia petals. Discovering the dozen or so fragrance genes was an accidental find – they've examined more than 8000 such genes over the past decade.
According to the UF news release, Clark and his colleagues are first looking to restore the "lost" fragrances of many flowers that have been breed for other characteristics in the last century. Eventually, however, the same genes that could return a flower to its ancestral scent could also be used to create entirely artificial smells. Flowers can be made to smell like other species, other foods, maybe even inorganic compounds. The implications extend outside of the florist shop. Perhaps flowers that smelled strongest whenever there were too many heavy metals in the water supply? As genetic modification finds its way into blossoms, these plants could move from ornamentation to practical applications. GM has its down side, but you can bet that discoveries like this one are leading to a better (smelling) future.

Woodpeckers are relatively picky and don't just make their home in any old yard. It has to have a plentiful food supply, hollow trees and be located in a nice warm area.
Why do woodpeckers peck wood?
Woodpeckers peck wood for food, to create nesting spaces, attract mates and communicate with other birds. For these reasons, woodpeckers are mainly drawn to wooden areas that are infested with insects.
Although it may feel like a woodpecker is drilling and drumming constantly, there are certain times of the year when they tend to cause even more of a commotion.
Woodpeckers start to excavate several roosting holes during the Fall in preparation for the colder weather. Then in the Spring, a resurgence of drilling activity occurs as they start to prepare for the nesting season. This is not before a great display of drumming has taken place, as they attempt to attract a mate.
Why do woodpeckers peck my house?
Woodpeckers can peck up to 20 times a second (around 12,000 times a day), so just imagine how irritating that would be if they chose your house in which to bang against. And it's not just the wooden walls that they like, they can cause serious destruction to your chimney, downpipes, vents, gutters and eaves.
But why do woodpeckers choose to knock on your door as opposed to someone else's?
 - This might sound crazy, but woodpeckers tend to target a particular type of property. If your house fits the "bill" of being dark or earth toned in color (browns and grays) or being made out of naturally stained cedar, redwood or mahogany, then for a woodpecker it might just be too good to fly past.
 - Although woodpeckers get the majority of their food from foraging around in wooded areas feasting on insects, berries, fruits, seeds and sap, our houses can also provide some valuable nutrition hiding termites, carpenter bees, ants and their larvae.
 - In addition to being able to enjoy a good meal, woodpeckers will peck at our houses to attract a mate. The males look for items that will create the most noise in order to entice a female. This could be a rotten piece of wood, chimney pot or a metal pipe.
 - If a suitable tree is not available in which to make a nest and store their food, then a woodpecker will seek out the next best thing. Houses made from cedar or redwood are great for chipping away at and damage usually occurs in the shingling or corner posts.
For those who have experienced woodpeckers attacking their home, you may well consider them to be pests. However, in America they are protected, and you need a special permit in order to exterminate them.

4 top tips to deter woodpeckers away from your house
Most woodpeckers are non-migratory, so when they find a place they like, chances are they will stay put for as a long as possible. Those who do choose to migrate are those species who fly southwards for their holidays in search of balmy weather – but not before the damage has been done.
If you do hear or see a woodpecker wreaking havoc around your home, then you need to act fast. Here are our top tips for preventing woodpeckers from drumming on your property.
Although it may seem counter-intuitive, during the cold seasons you should try some distraction tactics such as: –
 1. Laying more bird food around your garden. By making tasty treats easily accessible often encourages woodpeckers away from foraging within your walls.
 2. By planting fruit and berries trees as far away from your home as possible should tempt woodpeckers to move elsewhere for their meals.
 3. People have conflicting views on whether you should trim back trees in order to leave as many natural nesting sites as possible. We would advise against this and instead recommend that you remove any large trees and prune back branches near to your house in order to discourage woodpeckers to peck, as they will feel more exposed and vulnerable when out in the open.
 4. Offer them a purpose built roosting box instead. This way they won't have to go to the hassle of chipping one out for themselves. Just remember to place it well away from your house.
If none of the above appears to be working and the woodpeckers find your house much too homely to resist, then you should: –
 - Fill in any holes that have been created by woodpeckers the minute they appear. Although this may simply encourage the woodpecker to move to another area of your home, it will prevent bugs from burrowing inside.
 - Place a decoy around your property. Imitation predatory birds are great for deterring all types of pest birds; however, they are often only short term solutions. It doesn't take long for intelligent birds (such as woodpeckers) to figure out that these are fake and will not harm them.
 - Nets are good for placing over large areas that are being attacked as they are difficult to peck through and prevent woodpeckers from getting a grip on the side of buildings. Tricky to hang, you often need professional help.
 - Whilst bird spikes will not prevent woodpeckers from making holes, they do make it impossible for them to sit on ledges in which to create their cunning plans and prevent them from drumming against metal and pipes when attracting a mate.
 - Hang reflective tape on previous holes and around your property to create the illusion of predator eyes. This will make a woodpecker feel uneasy and they are more likely to remove themselves away from danger. Balloons with hand drawn eyes can be just as effective.
 - Sprinklers and floodlights can be incredibly good as a nighttime deterrent as the motion sensors pick up the woodpeckers in full flight and assaults them with light or water.
In Summary
Woodpeckers tend to peck in order to eat and roost, so if you eliminate these sources then you are giving them less reasons to hang around. Killing off bugs and insects that have infested your woodwork and offering alternative food supplies and nesting boxes will ultimately drive these birds away from your house. Whilst no one wants to eliminate woodpeckers, we do need to deter them from damaging our properties.

text: Various applications of quantum devices call for an accurate calibration of cryogenic amplification chains. To this end, we present an experimentally feasible calibration scheme and use it to accurately measure the total gain and noise temperature of an amplification chain by employing normal-metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) junctions. Our method is based on the radiation emitted by inelastic electron tunneling across voltage-biased NIS junctions. We derive an analytical expression that relates the generated power to the applied bias voltage which is the only control parameter of the device. After the setup has been characterized using a standard voltage reflection measurement, the total gain and the noise temperature are extracted by fitting the analytical expression to the microwave power measured at the output of the amplification chain. The 1σ uncertainty of the total gain of 51.84 dB appears to be of the order of 0.10 dB.


\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \begin{document} \parindent=0pt QUESTION Write down the formula for the value of $\phi(n)$ in terms of the prime factorisation of $n$ and hence find \begin{description} \item[(i)] all $n$ for which $\phi(n)=\frac{4n}{11}$. \item[(ii)] all $n$ for which $\phi(n)=2$. \item[(iii)] all $n$ for which $\phi(n)=12$. \end{description} ANSWER $\phi(n)=n\prod_{p|n}\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right)$. \begin{description} \item[(i)] If $\phi(n)=\frac{4n}{11}$, then $\prod_{p|n}\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right)=\frac{4}{11}$, i.e. $\prod_{p|n}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)=\frac{4}{11}$. In the expression $\prod_{p|n}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)$, the largest prime occurring in $n$ appears in the denominator, but cannot cancel with anything in the numerator. Thus it re3mains on the denominator in the simplified expression for $\prod_{p|n}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)$, so we may deduce that the largest prime appearing in $n$ is 11. Then $\prod_{p|n}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)=\prod_{p|n,p<11}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right).\frac{10}{11}=\frac{4}{11}$. Thus $\prod_{p|n,p<11}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)=\frac{2}{5}$, and so we can similarly deduce that the next largest prime occurring is 5. Thus $\prod_{p|n,p<5}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right).\frac{4}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$, so $\prod_{p|n,p<5}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)=\frac{1}{2}$ and we may now deduce that the only prime occurring is 2. Thus $\phi(n)=\frac{4n}{11}$ if and only if $n=2^\alpha.5^\beta.11^\gamma$ for $\alpha,\ \beta,\ \gamma$ all positive integers. \item[(ii)] $\phi(n)=n\prod_{p|n}\left(1-\frac{1}{p}\right)=n\prod_{p|n}\left(\frac{p-1}{p}\right)$. Thus if $n=p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\ldots p_k^{\alpha_k}$, then $\phi(n)=p_1^{\alpha_1-1}p_2^{\alpha_2-1}\ldots p_k^{\alpha_k-1}(p_1-1)(p_2-1)\ldots(p_k-1)$. Now suppose $\phi(n)=2$. If $p_i$ is a prime $>2$, then $p_i\not|\phi(n)$, so $\alpha_i=1$. Moreover, $(p_i-1)$ divides $\phi(n)\ (=2)$, so $p_i$ can only be 3. Thus $n$ takes one of the forms $2^{\alpha_1}$ or $2^{\alpha_1}.3$ or 3. To see which integers of these forms are allowed, note $\phi(2^{\alpha_1})=2^{\alpha_1}\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)=2^{\alpha_1-1}=2$ only if $\alpha_1=2$ $\phi(2^{\alpha_1}.3)=\phi(2^{alpha_1})\phi(3)=2^{\alpha_1-1}.3 \left(1-\frac{1}{3}\right)=2^{\alpha_1}=2$ only if $\alpha_1=1$ $\phi(3)=3\left(1-\frac{1}{3}\right)=2$ Thus the possible cases are 2,4 and 6. \item[(iii)] If $\phi(n)=12$, we may argue in the same way as above, and deduce that if $n=p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\ldots p_k^{\alpha_k}$, then $\alpha_i=1$ for all primes occurring except those which divide 12, namely 2 and 3. Moreover, if $p_i$ occurs, then $(p_i-1)$ divides 12, so $p_i$ can only be 13, 7, 5, 3 or 2. Since $\prod_{p|n}(p-1)$ must divide 12, we see that the only prime that can appear together with 13 is 2, so the possibilities involving 13 are 13 and $2^\alpha.13$, and a quick check shows that of these, only 13 and 26 satisfy $\phi(n)=12$. Similarly, the only primes that can occur with 7 are 3 and 2, so we must check 7, $3^\alpha.7, 2^\alpha.7$ and $2^\alpha.3^\beta.7$. We note $\phi(7)=6\neq12, \phi(3^\alpha.7)=\phi(3^\alpha).\phi(7)=3^{\alpha-1}.2.6$, so the only possibility is $\alpha=1$, giving 21 as a possibility. $\phi(2^\alpha.7)=\phi(2^\alpha)\phi(7)=2^{\alpha-1}.6=12$ only if $\alpha=2$, so 28 is a possibility, and $\phi(2^\alpha.3^\beta.7)=\phi(2^\alpha)\phi(3^\beta).\phi(7)=2^{\alpha-1}.3^{\beta-1}.2.6$, showing that $\beta=\alpha=1$, so that 42 is a possibility. Thus the possibilities where $7|n$ are 21,28 and 42. The case where $5|n$ is quickly eliminated:- If $n=5m$, where gcd$(5,m)=1$, then $\phi(n)=\phi(5)\phi(m)=4\phi(m)$, so that $\phi(m)=3$, contradicting cor.5.5 which tells us that $\phi(m)$ is always even if $m>2$. We are left with the possibilities $n=2^\alpha,\ n=3^\alpha$ or $n=2^\alpha.3^\beta$, and again we may check the formulae to see that the only case giving $\phi(n)=12$ is $n=2^2.3^2=36$. Thus the full list of possibilities is 13, 21, 26, 28, 36 and 42. \end{description} \end{document}

Boost Your Income
A Guide to Canadian Government Benefit Programs and who can ApplyOctober 23, 2023
Depending on where you are in the stage of your life, there are plenty of government benefits to help you. That being said, there are some qualifications you need to meet in order to claim these benefits. Some of these government benefits also require you to apply, while others will automatically be implemented based on your income when you file your yearly tax return. Let's take a look at what government programs are offered in Canada.
Table of Contents Contents
Benefits for Families
In Canada, there are quite a few benefits for both low income and middle class families that can help to boost your monthly income. In order to qualify for them though, you must meet the eligibility criteria.
Canada Child Benefit
This is a tax free monthly benefit payment that helps families with the cost of raising children up until the age of 18. In order to qualify for the CCB then you must:
- Live with a child that is under the age of 18
- Be the primary caregiver for the child (children)
- Be a resident of Canada for tax purposes
You can apply online in order to receive the CCB and once you qualify you will start receiving benefits. Along with the government CCB benefits, there are also provincial child benefits that you can receive. You don't need to apply for these provincial benefits, they will automatically be applied if you qualify. Most of these provincial benefits will be received on the same payment dates as your CCB Payments.
Maternity and Parental Benefits
When your child is first born, your income drastically reduces when you stay home to care for your new child and adjust to your life. For this reason the government offers maternity and parental benefits.
With Maternity Benefits, they are only available to one parent who can't work for one of two reasons: they are pregnant or have recently given birth. Maternity payments are available for up to 15 weeks and you can get up to a maximum of $650 per week. Once this is up you could also be eligible for parental benefits.
Parental benefits are available to a parent who has a newborn or recently adopted a child. The full term of parental leave doesn't have to be taken consecutively but it will have to start the week the child is born or adopted. When you apply you must select between 2 different options: standard parental leave or extended parental leave.
In Canada, standard parental leave lasts for 12 months and you can earn up to a maximum of $650 per week. The extended parental leave can last for 18 months and you can earn up to a total of $390.
Benefits for Low Income Families and Individuals
In Canada, when you make under a certain amount of money you can get certain benefits from the government that can really help you make ends meet. The CRA not only takes into account your single income but your family income, also referred to as your adjusted net family income.
This is one of the government credits that you don't need to apply for. The GST/HST credit is automatically distributed based on your yearly net income. That being said, you do have to complete your yearly tax return in order to get eligible so you must be at least a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
In order to qualify you must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Be at least 19 years of age
- Have (or had) a spouse or common law partner
- Are (were) a parent and live (lived) with your child
The annual income requirements for this credit are:
- Under $52,255 for a single person
- A combined income of $69,015 or less for a couple with 4 children
Climate Action Incentive Payment (CAIP)
This is another payment that you will automatically qualify for if you meet the requirements. All you need to do is complete your yearly tax return. It is a tax free amount that is given to offset the cost of federal pollution pricing. However, this credit is only available to residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. This is because the other provinces and territories run their own climate action programs and off their own provincial incentives.
In order to qualify for this credit, you must:
- Be at least 19 years of age
- Have (or had) a spouse or common law partner
- Are (were) a parent and live (lived) with your child
The benefit amount that you receive from the CAIP will be determined based on your net family income.
Canada Workers Benefit
The CWB is a refundable tax credit that is meant for those who are low income and working and just don't have quite enough money. In order to get the benefit you must claim it on your tax return. To qualify you must:
- Earn working income
- Be a Canadian resident
- Be at least 19 years of age
You are not eligible if you are a full time student. That being said, there are 2 parts to this benefit, the regular benefit and the disability benefit. For the regular benefit, you must make no more than $33,015 as your yearly adjusted net income. As a family, your total income can't be more than $43,212.
For the disability benefit, your adjusted net income can't be more than $37,932 as a single person or $53,037 for a family.
The Canada Dental Benefit is a fairly new government benefit. This is a benefit intended to lower dental costs for Canadian families with an income less than $90,000 annually who don't have any dental coverage. This benefit is currently only available for children who are 12 years of age or older.
How it works is that there are 2 different periods you can claim this benefit and you are eligible to receive a maximum of two payments. The first benefit period runs from Oct 1, 2022 until June 30,2023. The amount you will receive depends on your net family income. Eligible recipients will receive tax-free payments of $260, $390, or $650 per child per period. You do have to apply for this benefit though, it isn't automatically given.
Benefits for Seniors
In addition to the government benefits that are available to seniors. Some of these are available to everyone while others are given based on income.
Canada Pension Plan
The Canada Pension Plan, also referred to as CPP, is the federal pension program that is meant to replace part of your income when you retire. Once you qualify you will receive monthly, taxable CPP payments for the rest of your life. In order to qualify you must:
- Be 60 years old
- Have made at least one valid CPP contribution
A valid CPP contribution can be from working yourself or by receiving credits from a former spouse when the relationship ended.
In order to receive CPP, you must apply. The standard age to start receiving this pension is 65, but you can start receiving it at 60, or you can even wait until your 70. The amount that you will receive from CPP depends on what you earned throughout your working life.
Old Age Security
The Old Age Security OAS pension is also a monthly pension payment from the government of Canada. You can start receiving this pension payment at age 65. You can also delay OAS payments until you reach the age of 70.
In order to receive your pension, you may have to apply. In some cases you will get automatically enrolled. The amount that you receive from OAS will depend on your income as well as how long you worked for and how long you have been a Canadian resident.
Guaranteed Income Supplement
If you receive OAS payments, you may also be eligible for the Guaranteed Income Supplement GIS benefit. In order to be eligible you must:
- Be at least 65 years old
- Live in Canada
- Receive OAS
- Have an income below the threshold
|Situation||Annual Income Threshold|
|Single, Widowed or Divorced||Less than $21,456|
|If your spouse receive full OAS||Less than $28.320|
|If your spouse receives allowance||Less than $39,648|
|If your spouse doesn't get OAS||Less than $51,408|
If you are diagnosed with a permanent disability in Canada, you could be eligible for these tax breaks and benefits. We have listed below the different federal disability credits but there are also disability programs in the different provinces. Each of these have their own eligibility requirements and payment amounts. They also all have different names. For example: Ontario's program is called the Ontario Disability Support Program.
Disability Tax Credit
The disability tax credit is for those who have permanent disabilities and impairments pay less taxes. The idea behind this is to offset some of the costs related to the impairment. In order to get this tax credit, you do have to apply. Unlike many of the other credits where all you do is fill out a quick application, you do also have to get a physician's signature for this one.
When applying for this credit, you have the option to apply using digital or paper forms. Along with a physician's signature, you also need to have a personal application filled out. This can be done at any time during the year but will only be reflected when you file your taxes. In some cases, you may end up with some back pay on your income tax refunds as well for years prior.
CPP disability payments are different from regular CPP payments. In order to qualify you must:
- Be under the age of 65
- Have made enough CPP contributions
- Have a disability (mental or physical) that stops you from obtaining and maintaining gainful employment
- Be diagnosed with a disability that is considered to be long term, indefinite or even terminal
If you are approved for CPP disability, once you turn 65, you will then be transferred to CPP.
Along with CPP disability, there are also CPP child disability

How to change the listening port for the Axway/Vordel API Gateway
[ Update: Axway acquired Vordel in 2012 and the new name for the Vordel Gateway is the Axway API Gateway ]
A common question about the Axway/Vordel API Gateway is "How do you change its listening port?". The key to answering this question is to understand what are the "Services" groups under Policy Studio for the API Gateway:
What are the "Services" groups?
If you look under "Listeners" in Policy Studio, you will see the various "Services" groups. In the screenshot below we see "Default Services", "OAuth 2.0 Services" and "Sample Services". These are a way to group different paths under different ports. So, for example, the sample services are only available under the port which is defined under "Sample Services". And, the sample services can be disabled en masse, without affecting other listeners. You could also setup a new Services group, call it "SSL Only", then put an SSL listener in that group. Then, paths exposed under "SSL Only" could only be accessed using SSL.
Parameterized Ports
If you look at the circled item in the screenshot above, you see that the port number is not visible. Instead, we see an environmentalized parameter. So where is the port number? Notice that the variable starts with "env". This is a clue. It is in the Environmental Properties file.
So, if you look under /conf for the particular API Server instance, you can find the envSettings.props file, which is where this variable is defined. Here we see it below:
Notice the highlighted text. This is where the port is defined, and it's port 8080 at the moment. You can change this value here. And, in fact, you can add other variables here and then reference them in policies, providing environmental customization of the API Gateway [e.g. on another machine, we may use 8888 instead].

Ancho Reyes is the first and only liquor made out of chile ancho pepper.
The first step of making a liquor with chile, one of the most distinctive raw materials in Mexico, takes place in the fertile soil of San Martín Texmelucan, Puebla.
Upon learning about the ancient traditions of food and beverage mixing that were practiced in the state of Puebla, especially by the Reyes family, a group of investors, encouraged to rescue the sensory heritage of Mexico through taste, invested to create this rare and unique product.
After years of forming alliances, investors worked with the family of farmer Saúl Calixto and others more dedicated to the land to start the cultivation of raw materials and begin the process of Ancho Reyes, a drink that shows that, in the end, every detail matters.
Step by step
The process of Ancho Reyes begins by planting a broad harvest of chiles that are watched and attended full time by the owners of the field; after a careful process and seeing the chiles dry up, the best quality is selected and cataloged between chile poblano and chile ancho pepper, then, they are put in sacks and transported to the factory where they are cut by hand and placed in the last selection of the input.
Arriving at the factory, that is just a couple of hours from the farmland, just aside from the city's downtown, the chilies are scissor-sliced and passed on to production tanks where they are macerated in a distilled cane for half a year. There, liquids and solids are separated in jars and then released, later, they are mixed according to their category to achieve an exact fusion of the ingredients.
The result of this goes on to the last phase, that of bottling the drink, which is the final presentation of a bottle that looks like a medicine bottle of the early 1900's, however, what is inside is a sacred and carefully watched beverage that unites many of the traditional elements of Mexican cuisine.
