Kauri gum (/kˈri/)[1] is a fossilised resin extracted from kauri trees (Agathis australis), which is made into crafts such as jewellery. Kauri forests once covered much of the North Island of New Zealand, before the arrival of people caused deforestation, causing several areas to revert to sand dunes, scrubs, and swamps. Even afterward, ancient kauri fields continued to provide a source for the gum and the remaining forests.[2][3]

The Māori had many uses for the gum, which they called kapia. Fresh gum was used as a type of chewing gum (older gum was softened by soaking and mixing with juice of the puha thistle). Highly flammable, the gum was also used as a fire-starter, or bound in flax to act as a torch. Burnt and mixed with animal fat, it made a dark pigment for moko tattooing.[5] Kauri gum was also crafted into jewellery, keepsakes, and small decorative items. Like amber, kauri gum sometimes includes insects and plant material.[6]
Kauri gum was used commercially in varnish, and can be considered a type of copal (the name given to resin used in such a way). Kauri gum was found to be particularly good for this, and from the mid-1840s was exported to London and America. Tentative exports had begun a few years earlier, however, for use in marine glue and as fire-kindlers;[7] gum had even made up part of an export cargo to Australia in 1814.[8]
Since the kauri gum was found to mix more easily with linseed oil, at lower temperatures, than other resins, by the 1890s, 70 percent of all oil varnishes made in England used kauri gum.[9] It was used to a limited extent in paints during the late 19th century, and from 1910 was used extensively in the manufacture of linoleum. From the 1930s, the market for gum dropped as synthetic alternatives were found, but there remained niche uses for the gum in jewellery and specialist high-grade varnish for violins.[9]
Kauri gum was Auckland's main export in the second half of the 19th century, sustaining much of the early growth of the city. Between 1850 and 1950, 450,000 tons of gum were exported.[10] The peak in the gum market was 1899, with 11,116 tons exported that year, with a value of £600,000 ($989,700).[8][11] The average annual export was over 5,000 tons, with the average price gained £63 ($103.91) per ton.[12]
The gum varied in color depending on the condition of the original tree. It also depended on where the gum had formed and how long it had been buried. Colors ranged from chalky-white, through red-brown to black; the most prized was a pale gold, as it was hard and translucent.[4][13] The size of each lump also varied greatly. Swamps tended to yield the small nuggets known as "chips", whereas the hillsides tended to produce larger lumps. The majority were the size of acorns, although some were found which weighed a few pounds; the largest (and rarest) were reported to weigh half a hundredweight.[14] Kauri gum shares a few characteristics with amber, another fossilised resin found in the Northern Hemisphere, but where amber can be dated as millions of years old, carbon-dating suggests the age of most kauri gum is a few thousand years.[7]

Most of the gumfields were in Northland, Coromandel and Auckland, the site of the original kauri forests. Initially, the gum was readily accessible, commonly found lying on the ground. Captain Cook reported the presence of resinous lumps on the beach at Mercury Bay, Coromandel, in 1769, although he suspected it came from the mangroves, and missionary Samuel Marsden spoke of their presence in Northland in 1819.[13]
By 1850, most of the surface-lying gum had been picked up, and people began digging for it. The hillsides yielded shallow-buried gum (about 1 m), but in the swamps and beaches, it was buried much further down (4 m or below).[2]

Gum-diggers were men and women who dug for kauri gum, a fossilised resin, in the old kauri fields of New Zealand at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The gum was used mainly for varnish. The term may be a source for the nickname "Digger" given to New Zealand soldiers in World War I.[15] In 1898, a gum-digger described "the life of a gum-digger" as "wretched, and one of the last [occupations] a man would take to."[16]
Gum-diggers worked in the old kauri fields, most of which were then covered by swamp or scrub, digging for the gum. Much of the population was transient, moving from field to field, and they lived in rough huts or tents (which were called "whares", after the Maori for 'house'). It was extremely hard work and not very well paid, but it attracted many Maori and European settlers, including women and children.[17] There were many Dalmatians, who had first come to work the South Island goldfields in the 1860s.[18] They were transient workers, rather than settlers, and much of their income was sent out of the country, resulting in much resentment from the local workforce. In 1898, the "Kauri Gum Industry Act" was passed, which reserved gum-grounds for British subjects, and requiring all other diggers to be licensed. By 1910, only British subjects could hold gum-digging licences.[19]
Gum-digging was the major source of income for settlers in Northland, and farmers often worked the gumfields in the winter months to subsidise the poor income from their unbroken land. By the 1890s, 20,000 people were engaged in gum-digging, of which 7000 worked full-time.[20] Gum-digging was not restricted to settlers or workers in the rural areas; Auckland families would cross the Waitematā Harbour by ferry at weekends to dig in the fields around Birkenhead, causing damage to public roads and private farms, and leading to local council management of the problem.[21]

Most gum was dug from the ground using gum-spears (pointed rods to probe for gum) and "skeltons", defined as blade-edged spades for cutting through old wood and roots as well as soil. Once the gum was retrieved it would need to be scraped and cleaned.[22]
Digging in swamps was more complicated; a longer spear (up to 8m) was often used, often fitted with a hooked end to scoop out the lumps. Scrub was often cleared first with fire; some got out of control and swamp fires could burn for weeks.[23] Holes were often dug by teams in both hills and swamps—often up to 12m deep—and some wetlands were drained to aid in the excavation of gum.[24] As field gum became scarce, "bush gum" was obtained by purposely cutting the bark of kauri trees and returning months later to retrieve the hardened resin. Due to the damage caused to the trees by the cutting the practice was banned in state forests in 1905.[22] Gum chips, small lumps useful for the manufacture of linoleum, were difficult to find, and by 1910, the process of washing and sieving to retrieve the chips became common. The process was later mechanised.[25]
Gum merchants[edit]
Gumdiggers generally sold their gum to local gumbuyers, who transported it to Auckland (generally by sea) for sale to merchants and exporters.[26] There were six major export firms in Auckland who dealt in gum, employing several hundred workers who graded and rescraped the gum for export, packing them in cases made from kauri timber.[27]
As early as the 1830s and 1840s, merchants, including Gilbert Mair and Logan Campbell, were buying gum from local Māori for £5 ($8.25) a ton, or trading it for goods.[8] The majority of the gum was exported to America and London (from whence it was distributed throughout Europe),

gmc sierra rpm jumping-why and how to fix it?
Starting your GMC Sierra's engine and noticing that the RPMs jump can be a daunting experience. But don't worry, this issue has a simple explanation and fix.
GMC Sierra RPM jumping is usually caused by an IAC (Idle Air Control) valve malfunction or misalignment, which causes the engine to think it needs more air than it actually does. The solution is relatively straightforward: cleaning or replacing the IAC valve will correct this issue.
Understanding why and how to fix GMC Sierra RPM jumping issues can help you keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come. Read on to learn more about this common problem and its solutions so you can stay ahead of any future issues!
Key Takeaways
 - Ensure the RPMs on your GMC Sierra remain stable by regularly checking its fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, and air filter.
 - If you experience sudden RPM jumps while driving, check for engine vacuum leaks and adjust the throttle body as needed.
 - A dirty mass airflow sensor can cause erratic RPM shifts so clean or replace it if necessary to resolve the issue.
 - Seek professional help if all else fails as further diagnosis may be required to identify any underlying issues causing your GMC Sierra's RPM jumps.
What is the Cause of GMC Sierra RPM Jumping?
The cause of GMC Sierra RPM jumping can be attributed to a variety of issues, from mechanical problems to electrical malfunctions. One of the most common causes is a faulty idle air control valve, which is responsible for regulating engine idle speed. This component can become clogged or malfunction due to age or wear and tear, resulting in an erratic engine performance such as RPMs jumping up and down.
Other potential causes include a vacuum leak in the intake system or a dirty mass airflow sensor that's not providing accurate readings to the computer. The fuel injectors may also need cleaning if they are clogged with dirt and debris, as this could prevent them from delivering adequate amounts of fuel when needed. Additionally, worn spark plugs or spark plug wires could contribute to the issue by failing to provide sufficient spark energy for proper combustion.
How to Diagnose and Fix GMC Sierra RPM Jumps?
 If you own a GMC Sierra, then it's likely that you've experienced RPM jumps. These jumps usually occur when the engine is under load and can be caused by several different issues. Fortunately, diagnosing and fixing these issues isn't too difficult. Here are some steps to help diagnose and fix your GMC Sierra RPM jumps:
 1. Check for Vacuum Leaks – One of the most common causes of RPM jumps in a GMC Sierra is vacuum leaks. To check for vacuum leaks, start by inspecting all of the hoses connected to your intake manifold for any signs of wear or damage. If there are any cracks or holes present, replace them as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your vehicle's engine.
 2. Inspect Your Spark Plugs – Another potential cause of RPM jumps could be worn-out spark plugs. Over time, spark plugs can become fouled with deposits from fuel combustion which can lead to misfires and increased engine vibration at higher speeds (which may manifest itself as an RPM jump). To inspect your spark plugs, remove them one at a time and look for any signs of corrosion or other damage that could be causing the problem. If necessary, replace the spark plug with a new one before reinstalling it into its proper position in your engine block.
 3. Clean Your Throttle Body – A dirty throttle body can also cause sudden increases in RPM during acceleration due to air flow restrictions within the intake system itself. To clean your throttle body, disconnect all electrical connections from it before spraying down its interior with an aerosol carburetor cleaner sprayer while using compressed air to blow away debris from inside its chambers (if necessary). Once done cleaning it up, reconnect all electrical components before starting up your vehicle again; this should help reduce occurrences of random rpm spikes during acceleration periods thereafter!
Common Solutions for GMC Sierra RPM Jumping Issues
The GMC Sierra is a popular pickup truck, but like any vehicle, it can have its share of issues. One common problem with the Sierra is that the RPMs tend to jump or surge when accelerating. This can be an annoying and potentially dangerous issue if not addressed properly.
Fortunately, there are a few simple solutions for this issue. The most common solution is to replace the spark plugs and wires with new ones. If you've recently changed your oil or done other maintenance work on your engine, it may also be necessary to check and adjust the idle speed setting in order to bring it back into proper balance with the rest of your engine components.
Another potential cause of RPM jumping could be an air leak in one of the vacuum hoses connected to the intake manifold or throttle body. To address these leaks, you should inspect all vacuum lines for cracks or loose connections and repair them as needed. You may also want to consider replacing any worn out gaskets or seals around these components as well.
Finally, if none of these solutions seem to solve your problem, then you may need to take a look at your fuel system and make sure everything is working correctly. A clogged fuel filter or faulty pressure regulator can lead to erratic RPMs when accelerating so it's important that these components are checked regularly for wear-and-tear and replaced if necessary.
Preventative Measures for Avoiding GMC Sierra RPM Jumps
If you own a GMC Sierra, then you know how important it is to take preventative measures to avoid RPM jumps. An RPM jump occurs when the engine speed suddenly increases and can cause serious damage if left unchecked. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to help keep your truck running smoothly and reduce the risk of an unexpected RPM jump.
First, make sure that all maintenance items are up-to-date on your GMC Sierra. This includes regular oil changes, air filter replacements, spark plug inspections and more. Keeping up with these routine tasks will ensure that your vehicle is running optimally and won't be prone to sudden RPM jumps due to worn or faulty parts.
Second, check for any loose connections in the electrical system of your truck that could be causing a disruption in power flow or lead to an unexpected increase in engine speed. Make sure all wiring harnesses are connected securely and inspect any fuses or relays for signs of wear or corrosion as well.
Third, look into investing in a quality cold air intake system for your Sierra as this can help improve airflow into the engine which helps maintain consistent engine speeds even under heavy load conditions like climbing hills or accelerating quickly from a stoplight. Cold air intakes also improve fuel economy so they're definitely worth considering if you want to save money at the pump too!
Finally, pay attention while driving and listen for any strange noises coming from under the hood that may indicate an issue with one of the components related to controlling engine speed such as belts or pulleys slipping out of place or failing motors/sensors not sending proper signals back to the ECU (Engine Control Unit). If something doesn't sound right don't ignore it – get it checked out immediately by a qualified mechanic who can diagnose potential problems before they become major issues down the line.
Tips on Maintaining Your GMC Sierra to Reduce Risk of RPM Jumps
 Maintaining your GMC Sierra is essential to reducing the risk of RPM jumps. RPM stands for revolutions per minute and is a measure of how many times an engine's crankshaft turns in one minute. An engine with too high of an RPM can cause damage to the vehicle, so it's important to keep it at a safe level. Here are some tips on maintaining your GMC Sierra to reduce the risk of RPM jumps:
 1. Regularly Check Your Oil Level – The oil in your engine helps keep all its parts lubricated and running efficiently, which reduces friction and keeps your RPMs from jumping up too high. Make sure you regularly check your oil levels and top them off as needed so that there's always enough lubrication for the engine components.
 2. Replace Air Filters – A clogged air filter can restrict airflow into the engine, causing higher than normal RPMs when accelerating or climbing hills. Make sure you replace air filters every 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first).
 3. Inspect Spark Plugs & Wires – Faulty spark plugs or wires can cause misfires in the cylinders, leading to higher than normal RPMs while driving or idling. Inspect these components regularly for any signs of wear and tear and replace them if necessary.
 4. Check Vacuum Hoses – Vacuum hoses help regulate airflow into the intake manifold, which affects engine performance including idle speed control (which affects rpm). Make sure all vacuum hoses are properly connected and free from cracks or leaks that could lead to poor performance issues like increased rpm's while driving or idling..

Tag: APUs
Apus ( /ˈeɪpəs/) is a faint constellation in the southern sky, first defined in the late 16th century. Its name means "no feet" in Greek, and it represents a bird-of-paradise (which were once believed to lack feet). It is bordered by Triangulum Australe, Circinus, Musca, Chamaeleon, Octans, Pavo and Ara. Its genitive is "Apodis".
Apus was one of twelve constellations created by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman and it first appeared on a 35 cm diameter celestial globe published in 1597 (or 1598) in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius. Plancius called the constellation "Paradysvogel Apis Indica"; the first word is Dutch for 'bird of paradise', but the others are Latin for "Indian Bee"; "apis" (Latin for "bee") is presumably an error for "avis" or "bird". The name "Apus" is derived from the Greek "apous", meaning "without feet", which referred to the Western conception of a bird-of-paradise as one without feet, a…

The community garden at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Sedona was begun as a small "Three Sisters Garden" in 2009. Gardens for Humanity met with a group of parishioners at the end of summer with the goal of starting the garden project on Sedona "Mitzvah (Good Deed) Day, " an afternoon of community service to be held November 15. St. John Vianney was known for some beautiful floral gardens, but they wanted to start a vegetable garden.
On Mitzvah Day over thirty volunteers from the community divided into five teams, made a pathway to the garden site, laid water pipe, hauled fill dirt, created a garden border with stones and layered the dirt with leaves to create a "lasagna" bed that would overwinter to create soil for late spring planting.
From this beginning the garden was fenced, the bed turned and on the following April 24 the garden dedicated with a blessing by Fr. JC and a reading of the words of St. Francis. Each season since the "Three Sisters" (Corn, squash, beans) were planted the garden expanded and grew with new fence, beds and many gardeners. There are now more than twenty garden plots in the garden and four composting bins. This garden is a learning garden for many and has become an integral part of the St. John Vianney community.

Hi there,
I know that power law decay can be expressed as the combination of multiple single exponential decays (or another way of saying it is that if there are multiple timescales in a decay process, when there is no dominant timescale, then power law behavior emerges). Empirically, it's fairly easy to see that this is the case (and see _URL_ for an example of expressing power law decay as a sum of exponentials). However, I'm trying to understand *why* this is the case. Does anybody have an intuitive explanation for why power law decay contains multiple exponential decays? Thanks!

3. How do you wash Attipas shoes?
Attipas shoes can be washed in the washing machine at a maximum temperate of 30c. You can wash Attipas shoes with your regular washing loads in similar colours.

5. Do you wear socks with Attipas shoes?
During the colder months, some parents choose to put a pair of socks under their baby's Attipas shoes to keep them warmer. However, wearing socks under Attipas shoes is not required as Attipas shoes are fully lined with a sock. Socks under Attipas shoes may also assist with thickening the shoes while babies grow, if they are slightly too big.
6. What sizes do Attipas shoes come in?
Attipas shoes are sized from 3.5 US (6-12 months) to 9 US (3 year+). We always recommend measuring from our easy size guide before purchase. You can watch how to measure, or download a copy of the size guide here.

7. Does my baby need to wear insoles with Attipas baby shoes?
Insoles are not required when wearing Attipas baby shoes but do provide extra comfort for your baby. Wearing insoles is a personal choice for parents. If you do decide to use insoles, we recommend using Acti-fit insoles which have been especially designed to fit inside Attipas baby shoes.
8. Can Attipas shoes go in the water?
Attipas baby shoes can absolutely get wet and this is the one of their greatest features. Many parents choose to wear them to the beach, in mud or dirt or on wet grass, knowing their babies' feet are protected. After getting Attipas baby shoes wet, machine wash them back to new. Attipas also launched aqua shoes in 2020, which are made from a quick drying fabric with SPF 50+.

Explore the Great Outdoors With the Help of Our Nonfiction Wildlife Picks!
Today, we'll be recommending five of the best wildlife nonfiction books to give your motivation to explore the natural world!
5. 'The Animal Dialogues' by Craig Childs
Image via Amazon
The Animal Dialogues by Craig Childs is a thrilling book about the author Craig Childs and his various encounters with grizzly bears, sharks, porcupines, elks, bighorn sheep, and many others. Captured with chilling, intimate descriptions and wry humor, this book is a must read for wildlife fans who want to see tons of varied encounters with dozens of different creatures.
4. 'Field Guide to the natural world of New York City' by Leslie Day
Image Via Amazon
Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City by Leslie Day showcases the wild world of a place you'd not normally think to look at for diverse wildlife: New York City! The book explores three islands full of different kinds of wildlife at its three rich islands: Manhattan, Long Island, and Staten Island. Written by a real life naturalist, this book sheds light on the real wild side of New York with tips of identifying different animals, plants, and more among the urban sprawl.
3. 'Unlikely Friendships' by Jennifer s. Holland
Image via Amazon
Unlikely Friendships documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways. A cat and a bird. A mare and a fawn. An elephant and a sheep. A snake and a hamster. The well-documented stories of Koko the gorilla and All Ball the kitten; and the hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee. And almost inexplicable stories of predators befriending prey—an Indian leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A lionness mothers a baby oryx.
Ms. Holland narrates the details and arc of each story, and also offers insights into why—how the young leopard, probably motherless, sought maternal comfort with the calf, and how a baby oryx inspired the same mothering instinct in the lionness. Or, in the story of Kizzy, a nervous retired Greyhound, and Murphy, a red tabby, how cats and dogs actually understand each other's body language. Your heart will expand at seeing this unlikely friendships come to life.
2. 'Wild Justice' by Marc Bekoff
Image via Amazon
Wild Justice by Marc Bekoff tells about the morality animals. Are animals capable of complex emotions such as a understanding of justice?
With this book, the author answers yes and showcases many examples to support their argument: a female Gorilla who mourned the death of her beloved child, a rat who refused to push a lever for food when he saw doing so electrocuted his friend, or a wild elephant who paused to care for a younger one after it was injured. This book shows us that, whether we like it or not, animals are more like us than we think.
1. 'Winter World' by Bernd Heinrich
Image via Amazon
Winter World by Bernd Heinrich is all about how animals survive the harsh winters and the process of hibernation. From flying squirrels to grizzly bears, and from torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze, the animal kingdom relies on some staggering evolutionary innovations to survive winter.
Unlike their human counterparts, who must alter the environment to accommodate physical limitations, animals are adaptable to an amazing range of conditions. Examining everything from food sources in the extremely barren winter land-scape to the chemical composition that allows certain creatures to survive, Heinrich's Winter World awakens the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains herself through winter's harsh, cruel exigencies.

The effects of temperature variations on the tilt measured by long fluid tube tiltmeters are examined in detail. Temperature effects are important both in instruments which measure tilt as changes in fluid level between the ends of a fluid-filled tube and in instruments which measure tilt as changes in fluid pressure. Methods are outlined for reducing temperature effects in both types of tiltmeters. A new temperature-compensating method for fluid pressure tiltmeters is demonstrated both in theory and in practice. The method requires that the fluid-filled tube(s) connecting the pressure transducer to the end reservoir(s) be laid at a constant small angle to the horizontal. Tiltmeters which use a horizontal half-filled fluid tube are recommended on the grounds of long-term stability and freedom from temperature effects.

Sending and receiving messages
The create_queue method can be used to ensure a queue exists:
sbs.create_queue('taskqueue')
The send_queue_message method can then be called to insert the message into the queue:
from azure.servicebus.control_client import Message
msg = Message('Hello World!')
sbs.send_queue_message('taskqueue', msg)
The send_queue_message_batch method can then be called to send several messages at once:
from azure.servicebus.control_client import Message
msg1 = Message('Hello World!')
msg2 = Message('Hello World again!')
sbs.send_queue_message_batch('taskqueue', [msg1, msg2])
It is then possible to call the receive_queue_message method to dequeue the message.
msg = sbs.receive_queue_message('taskqueue')
Service Bus topics
The create_topic method can be used to create a server-side topic:
sbs.create_topic('taskdiscussion')
The send_topic_message method can be used to send a message to a topic:
from azure.servicebus.control_client import Message
msg = Message(b'Hello World!')
sbs.send_topic_message('taskdiscussion', msg)
The send_topic_message_batch method can be used to send several messages at once:
from azure.servicebus.control_client import Message
msg1 = Message(b'Hello World!')
msg2 = Message(b'Hello World again!')
sbs.send_topic_message_batch('taskdiscussion', [msg1, msg2])
Please consider that in Python 3 a str message will be utf-8 encoded and you should have to manage your encoding yourself in Python 2.
A client can then create a subscription and start consuming messages by calling the create_subscription method followed by the receive_subscription_message method. Please note that any messages sent before the subscription is created will not be received.
from azure.servicebus.control_client import Message
sbs.create_subscription('taskdiscussion', 'client1')
msg = Message('Hello World!')
sbs.send_topic_message('taskdiscussion', msg)
msg = sbs.receive_subscription_message('taskdiscussion', 'client1')
Event Hub
Event Hubs enable the collection of event streams at high throughput, from a diverse set of devices and services.
The create_event_hub method can be used to create an event hub:
sbs.create_event_hub('myhub')
To send an event:
sbs.send_event('myhub', '{ "DeviceId":"dev-01", "Temperature":"37.0" }')
The event content is the event message or JSON-encoded string that contains multiple messages.
Advanced features
Broker properties and user properties
This section describes how to use Broker and User properties defined here:
sent_msg = Message(b'This is the third message',
 broker_properties={'Label': 'M3'},
 custom_properties={'Priority': 'Medium',
 'Customer': 'ABC'}
 )
You can use datetime, int, float or boolean
props = {'hello': 'world',
 'number': 42,
 'active': True,
 'deceased': False,
 'large': _PHONE_,
 'floating': 3.14,
 'dob': datetime(2011, 12, 14),
 'double_quote_message': 'This "should" work fine',
 'quote_message': "This 'should' work fine"}
sent_msg = Message(b'message with properties', custom_properties=props)
For compatibility reason with old version of this library, broker_properties could also be defined as a JSON string. If this situation, you're responsible to write a valid JSON string, no check will be made by Python before sending to the RestAPI.
broker_properties = '{"ForcePersistence": false, "Label": "My label"}'
sent_msg = Message(b'receive message',
 broker_properties = broker_properties
)

Dried fruit and nuts are sometimes consumed together as a whimsically-named product: "trail mix". That's not the only reason these two products fall in the same category on this web page. Both dried fruit and nuts are natural products that usually undergo post-harvest processing before they are sold to customers or consumers. Moisture mistakes for both these product categories are similarly painful: too much water means mold; too little means lost profit, not to mention quality issues.
Most growers or buyers use moisture content to determine if tree nuts or dried fruit are too "wet". This can cause problems. First, the moisture level that causes mold is different for every kind of nut or dried fruit. Second, loss-on-drying moisture isn't a very precise method for measuring moisture - the answer you get depends on the method you use.
Water activity is different. It's a snap to identify bad batches that could mold: any product over 0.7 aw can mold, anything under that value won't. It doesn't matter what your product is. Using water activity as a standard can eliminate the guesswork over whose moisture meter is right. Two water activity meters measuring the same sample will give the same reading. If you really want to know your moisture content, a new version of AquaLab can give you both moisture content and water activity from the same reading.
Dried fruit and nuts last a long time on the shelf, but not forever. In the end, lipid oxidation and other chemical or enzymatic reactions make the product unpalatable. Because water activity is a measure of energy, it influences how quickly these reactions occur.


function taxonomy_term_load_multiple
7 taxonomy.module taxonomy_term_load_multiple($tids = array(), $conditions = array())
8 taxonomy.module taxonomy_term_load_multiple(array $tids = NULL)
Load multiple taxonomy terms based on certain conditions.
This function should be used whenever you need to load more than one term from the database. Terms are loaded into memory and will not require database access if loaded again during the same page request.
@todo Remove $conditions in Drupal 8.
Parameters
$tids: An array of taxonomy term IDs.
$conditions: (deprecated) An associative array of conditions on the {taxonomy_term} table, where the keys are the database fields and the values are the values those fields must have. Instead, it is preferable to use EntityFieldQuery to retrieve a list of entity IDs loadable by this function.
Return value
An array of term objects, indexed by tid. When no results are found, an empty array is returned.

Code
function taxonomy_term_load_multiple($tids = array(), $conditions = array()) {
 return entity_load('taxonomy_term', $tids, $conditions);
}
Comments
function taxonomy_term_get_by_vid($vid) {
 $query = new EntityFieldQuery();
 $result = $query
 ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'taxonomy_term')
 ->propertyCondition('vid', (int) $vid, '=')
 ->execute();
 return $result['taxonomy_term'];
}
Alternatively, you could just use the conditions on this function:
taxonomy_term_load_multiple(array(), array('vid' => $vid));
The $conditions argument is deprecated and will be removed in Drupal 8.
See also taxonomy_get_tree().


text: This paper presents a statistical measure for the identification of the presence, the location, and the calibration of the strength of singularity in a signal or in any of its derivatives in the presence of measurement noise without the requirement of a baseline using a wavelet based detection technique. For this proposed wavelet based detection of singularities present in a signal, the problem of false alarm and its significant reduction by use of multiple measurements is presented. The importance of the proposed measure on baseline and nonbaseline damage calibration has been discussed from the aspect of structural health monitoring. The findings in this paper can also be used for cross-checking of background noise level in an observed signal. The detection of the existence, location, and extent of an open crack from the first fundamental modeshape of a simply supported beam is presented as an example problem.

An easy going person will find ways to spend all the money for luxury. A serious person with good objectives in life will have calculated movements on how to spend the cash. This is a hypothec question but good one to know him clearly.
 1. Do you love doing charity activities?
People with a kind heart will love to do charity services. If you boyfriend is socially committed, he will love this question.
 1. Do you like traveling?
Most of the people like to travel around the world. But there are different type of travel plans. Some with adventure, some are only interested in visiting historically important places and yet others interested in visiting countries with beautiful beaches. It is a good question indeed to know if his interest is matching with yours.
 1. What do you hate something about yourself?
It is a valuable question to evaluate his personality and confirm that he is also aware of his negative elements in his character. He may regret with you his inability to manage the situation. But it is better to know from your boyfriend so that you can vouch for the situation.
 1. In life if you get a second chance, what would be your preference?
Almost everybody at some stages of their life would have sincerely wished to have a second chance in their life, if they failed to take a right decision at a crucial moment that had just slipped away between cup and lips. It can let you understand how well prepared to grab the next opportunity in life.
These 20 questions may seem to be silly, but each of these questions can help you to analyze the person. His personal plus and negative traits can be easily extracted they way how is responding to these questions. However, make sure to ask these questions very carefully without letting him know that you are asking something very deliberately to evaluate his personality. You can take calculated intervals to put these questions over a period of time and consolidate your opinion about your boyfriend. You may also put a conscious effort by putting you also in the same situation and ask these questions to yourself and get an unbiased answer. You don't have to leave everything to the fate. Calculated movements can bring you long lasting healthy friendship. So make a bold effort to find out the best boyfriend with whom you can have a successful long lasting life.

How to Force Safari to Sync with iCloud
When iCloud syncing is turned on, Safari is supposed to automatically sync your web browsing history and tabs with your other iCloud-enabled OS X and iOS devices. That doesn't always work as described, however. If your Safari history and settings on the Mac aren't syncing over to iCloud, you can manually force the sync process.
This setting in the Mac app will make sure recently visited webpages will also be accessible from your iPad or iPhone. First we'll have to enable the hidden Debug menu in Safari.
1. Quit Safari in OS X. Use the Command+Q shortcut to quickly close the program or go to Safari > Quit Safari.
2. Open Terminal. You can do this with the Command+Spacebar shortcut and searching for "terminal" or going to your Applications > Utilities folder.
3. Type in the command below:
defaults write IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
4. Press Enter.
5. Relaunch Safari. You should see the new debug menu in Safari.
6. Click Debug > Sync iCloud History.
This will manually force a sync of your Safari history to your other Apple devices over iCloud.


Parliamentary Question
Annotation of PSLE Certificates
05 October 2020
Mr Don Wee, Chua Chu Kang GRC
To ask the Minister for Education whether the Ministry will consider removing the annotation symbol from the PSLE certificates of those candidates who have been granted access arrangements during the PSLE such as extra time allowance.
1. Examinations are meant to certify the academic achievements of candidates and are administered under a set of standardised conditions. This is to ensure a fair examination and that examination results can be compared meaningfully across candidates.
2. For students with Special Educational Needs or medical conditions, standardised testing conditions may result in them being given an inadequate assessment of their abilities or being unable to take the examinations altogether. To cater to these candidates, the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) provides access arrangements, which may range from exemption from specific components of the examination and provision of extra time, to provision of a separate room or enlarged print.
3. When access arrangements have been granted, SEAB's policy is to annotate on the examination certificate only when there are significant modifications of the examination. This is done to indicate factually that the candidate has taken the examination under conditions that are different from the standard prescribed conditions, and to uphold the integrity and fairness of the examination.
4. A student's progression to secondary education will not be affected by the annotation, as school postings do not take such annotations into account.


This section includes the following topics:
Saving Each Context and System Separately
Saving All Context Configurations at the Same Time
Saving Each Context and System Separately
To save the system or context configuration, enter the following command within the system or context:
hostname# write memory
Note The copy running-config startup-config command is equivalent to the write memory command.
For multiple context mode, context startup configurations can reside on external servers. In this case, the adaptive security appliance saves the configuration back to the server you identified in the context URL, except for an HTTP or HTTPS URL, which do not let you save the configuration to the server.
Saving All Context Configurations at the Same Time
To save all context configurations at the same time, as well as the system configuration, enter the following command in the system execution space:
hostname# write memory all [/noconfirm]
If you do not enter the /noconfirm keyword, you see the following prompt:
Are you sure [Y/N]:
After you enter Y, the adaptive security appliance saves the system configuration and each context. Context startup configurations can reside on external servers. In this case, the adaptive security appliance saves the configuration back to the server you identified in the context URL, except for an HTTP or HTTPS URL, which do not let you save the configuration to the server.
After the adaptive security appliance saves each context, the following message appears:
'Saving context 'b' ... ( 1/3 contexts saved ) '
Sometimes, a context is not saved because of an error. See the following information for errors:
For contexts that are not saved because of low memory, the following message appears:
The context 'context a' could not be saved due to Unavailability of resources
For contexts that are not saved because the remote destination is unreachable, the following message appears:
The context 'context a' could not be saved due to non-reachability of destination
For contexts that are not saved because the context is locked, the following message appears:
Unable to save the configuration for the following contexts as these contexts are
locked.
context 'a' , context 'x' , context 'z' .
A context is only locked if another user is already saving the configuration or in the process of deleting the context.
For contexts that are not saved because the startup configuration is read-only (for example, on an HTTP server), the following message report is printed at the end of all other messages:
Unable to save the configuration for the following contexts as these contexts have
read-only config-urls:
context 'a' , context 'b' , context 'c' .
For contexts that are not saved because of bad sectors in the Flash memory, the following message appears:
The context 'context a' could not be saved due to Unknown errors
Copying the Startup Configuration to the Running Configuration
Copy a new startup configuration to the running configuration using one of these options:
To merge the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# copy startup-config running-config
A merge adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the configurations are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the running of the context, then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors, or you might have unexpected results.
To load the startup configuration and discard the running configuration, restart the adaptive security appliance by entering the following command:
hostname# reload
Alternatively, you can use the following commands to load the startup configuration and discard the running configuration without requiring a reboot:
hostname/contexta(config)# clear configure all
hostname/contexta(config)# copy startup-config running-config
Viewing the Configuration
The following commands let you view the running and startup configurations.
To view the running configuration, enter the following command:
hostname# show running-config
To view the running configuration of a specific command, enter the following command:
hostname# show running-config command
To view the startup configuration, enter the following command:
hostname# show startup-config
Clearing and Removing Configuration Settings
To erase settings, enter one of the following commands.
To clear all the configuration for a specified command, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear configure configurationcommand [level2configurationcommand]
This command clears all the current configuration for the specified configuration command. If you only want to clear the configuration for a specific version of the command, you can enter a value for level2configurationcommand.
For example, to clear the configuration for all aaa commands, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear configure aaa
To clear the configuration for only aaa authentication commands, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear configure aaa authentication
To disable the specific parameters or options of a command, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# no configurationcommand [level2configurationcommand] qualifier
In this case, you use the no command to remove the specific configuration identified by qualifier.
For example, to remove a specific nat command, enter enough of the command to identify it uniquely as follows:
hostname(config)# no nat (inside) 1
To erase the startup configuration, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# write erase
To erase the running configuration, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear configure all
Note In multiple context mode, if you enter clear configure all from the system configuration, you also remove all contexts and stop them from running.
Creating Text Configuration Files Offline
This guide describes how to use the CLI to configure the adaptive security appliance; when you save commands, the changes are written to a text file. Instead of using the CLI, however, you can edit a text file directly on your PC and paste a configuration at the configuration mode command-line prompt in its entirety, or line by line. Alternatively, you can download a text file to the adaptive security appliance internal Flash memory. See Chapter 38, "Managing Software, Licenses, and Configurations," for information on downloading the configuration file to the adaptive security appliance.
In most cases, commands described in this guide are preceded by a CLI prompt. The prompt in the following example is "hostname(config)#":
hostname(config)# context a
In the text configuration file you are not prompted to enter commands, so the prompt is omitted as follows:
context a
For additional information about formatting the file, see Appendix C, "Using the Command-Line Interface."

How much power does a PC use in 24 hours?
A desktop uses an average of 200 W/hour when it is being used (loudspeakers and printer included). A computer that is on for eight hours a day uses almost 600 kWh and emits 175 kg of CO2 per year. A laptop uses between 50 and 100 W/hour when it is being used, depending on the model. CachedSimilar
How much power does it take to run a PC?
A computer's power usage will depend on the type of computer. Laptops use between 15 and 60 typically while desktop computers range between 60 and 250 watts. Google searching for your computer's wattage is the easiest way to get the most accurate number. Cached
How much power does a PC consume per hour?
Electricity consumption of Desktop Computer The CPU and Desktop monitor consumes around 170 Watt per hour of Electricity when actively used. On standby mode / sleep mode, the power consumption goes down to 80 Watt per hour.
Is it OK to leave my PC on for 24 hours?
The Bottom Line Desktop computers are generally more suitable for 24/7 operation, although they should be in a well-ventilated area with some cooling to maintain optimal performance. Laptop and Ultrabook computers should be turned off when not in use, as their hardware is much more susceptible to overheating.
Is it OK to keep a PC running 24 7?
Is It Safe To Run Your PC 24/7? A well-built and well-maintained computer can easily run 24/7 or overnight, with no real issues (apart from the increased electricity costs!). Modern computer systems are designed and tested to be run 24/7, and so you shouldn't have any issues doing this yourself.
How much does a PC cost to run per day?
A desktop PC typically uses around 100 watts of electricity, the equivalent of 0.1 kWh. This means that if a PC is on for eight hours a day, it will cost 10p a day to run the laptop (based on an average energy unit cost of 12.5 p/kWh).
Does PC waste a lot of electricity?
Key takeaways about powering a computer Large desktop and gaming computers use between 200 and 500 watts of electricity, on average. Using a computer for 8 hours per day will use about 12.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month and 146 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.
Do gaming PCs run up the electric bill?
According to this MakeUseOf article, your gaming PC comes with more advanced hardware than a typical PC. For instance, a gaming PC usually comes with a more powerful GPU, which requires more electricity to operate. Because of that, its energy consumption is significantly higher.
How much does it cost to run a PC for 8 hours a day?
On average, a laptop consumes about 50 watts of electricity, the equivalent of 0.05 kWh. This means that if a laptop is on for eight hours a day, it will cost 24p a day to operate the laptop or 3p an hour. Please note: the wattage of an appliance does not necessarily mean it will end up using more electricity.
How much does it cost to run a gaming PC?
An efficient gaming PC (being used at 100% load) running an 80 Plus Bronze PSU will use around 730W of power (or 0.73 kWh). Using the current UK price cap of 34.0p/kWh, this equates to around £0.25 per hour. Over 24hrs, this comes to approximately £5.96.
Is it bad to shut down PC every night?
If you use your computer frequently — more than once a day, most days of the week — and on your own secured network, you're fine to stick with sleep mode. However, you should power it all the way down at least once a week to keep it running smoothly.
Should you shut down your gaming PC every night?
The short answer is no. The longer answer: It depends. Sleep mode overnight can be beneficial as it can allow it to perform any maintenance tasks scheduled — think full system virus scans, doing a full backup of the hard drive or checking for software updates, says Meister.
Do PCs shut off when they get too hot?
An overheating computer can intermittently restart, shutdown, or experience performance issues. Eventually excessive heat can damage the internal components. When the computer overheats, you may experience symptoms such as: Fans inside the computer become louder as they start spinning faster to remove excess heat.

Leggatt and the captain are not so much related as they are symbolic representations of each other. According to Lionel Trilling:
the two young men are virtually the same person.
In literary terms, Leggatt is the captain's doppelganger, or his ghostly twin. In Freudian psychology, Leggatt is the "Id" (the emotional, secret desires) to the captain's "Ego" (the logical side which mediates the emotional). Remember, when the captain first sees Leggatt? He says:
He was complete but for the head. A headless corpse!
Leggatt is the headless version of the captain. The head is the logical; the body is the emotional. So, Leggatt is the side of the captain which he hides from the crew, his secret desires and fears.
The word "double" is used 19 times in the novella. Obviously, Leggatt is a mirror-image doppelganger who confesses that which the captain has wished to keep secret. The captain harbors the fugitive and dresses him like himself:
Later, he connotes the dark side of his double:
The Captain's ("Ego's") goal then is too conceal his Leggatt ("Id") from Captain Archibald, the "Superego," or moral construct that projects social values.

I expect this is a classical question, so feel free to point me to classical answers: what is the fastest-growing function $f(t)$ for which we know that $$ |2^t - 3^{t'}| \ge f(\min(t,t')) \;? $$ In particular, do we know that the gaps between powers of 2 and powers of 3 get exponentially large as $t,t'$ increase? Do we know anything like this for any other pair of integers besides 2 and 3?

What you need is the theory of lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms. A good place to start reading about this is the following article by Evertse:
In particular, Corollary 1.8 of the article (a Corollary to a famous theorem of Matveev) gives
$$ \lvert 2^a-3^b \rvert \ge \frac{\max(2^a,3^b)}{(e \max(a,b))^{C}} $$ where $C$ is a positive constant (that is easily computable--see the proof and also the statement of Theorem 1.7).

Can you give a rough and ready estimate of $C$ for those who just want to be impressed with this neat result? – Felix Goldberg Dec 21 '12 at 11:05
I guess you expect $t$ and $t'$ to be integers. In this case, having a small $2^p-3^q$ is related to having a small $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}$. So it's Diophantine approximation, and this is very well studied. The first result in Diophantine approximation is that there exists an infinity of rational $p/q$ such that $$ \left|\frac{\log 3}{\log 2} - \frac{p}{q}\right| < \frac{1}{q^2}. $$ In which case it's not hard to compute that $$ \left| 2^p - 3^q \right| = \mathcal{O}\left( \frac{3^q}{q} \right). $$ This is valid of course for all $2$'s and $3$'s.
If now you want lower bounds, then you will need to know a upper bound for the irrationality measure of $\frac{\log 3}{\log 2}$, which is hard to get, but hopefully someone did it. Do you want more details?

I was a little hesitant to post the following thing after the very thorough answers and references, yet it contains a concrete inequality, and may be of interest as a first elementary approach towards the full complexity of the problem.
The idea is that if $2^t$ and $3^ {t'}$ are too close to each other, then $2^{t+1}$ is close to $2\cdot3^{t'}$, hence it is roughy in the middle between $3^ {t'}$ and $3^ {t'+1}$, and therefore far from any power of $3$. To make this into a more quantitative form: assume that $t$ and $t'$ satisfy $$|2^t -3^ {t'}| < \frac{1}{5} 2^t\,.$$ Then it follows plainly
$$ 3^ {t'} + \frac{1}{5} 2^t < 2^{t+1} < 3^ {t'+1} - \frac{2}{5} 2^t \,.$$ Therefore the closest power of $3$ to $2^{t+1}$ is either $3^ {t'}$ or $3^ {t'+1}$, in any case not closer than $ \frac{1}{5} 2^{t+1}$. This tell us that the inequality $$\min _ {t'\in\mathbb{N}} |2^t -3^ {t'}| > \frac{1}{5} 2^t$$ holds for at least one out of two consecutive integers $t$ and $t+1$. So at least half of the powers of $2$, in a density sense, have a distance from the powers of three of at least one fifth of their size.

Candles or a candle is an object generally made of wax and sometimes is an ignitable wick embedded in wax or in any other flammable solid substance such as tallow, these substances are also chosen on the basis of the light they produce, and in some special cases, also on the basis of their fragrance. Some candles are used for the purpose of providing heat or keeping time as well. Chandler is traditionally a person who is known to make candles either professionally or for person interests. From ages, various devices an objects have been invented in order to keep candles, these have ranged from simple table top candlesticks which are also known as candle holders to elaborate forms of candelabra and chandeliers.
In order to burn a candle, there is a requirement of a heat source, commonly a naked flame from a matchstick or a lighter is used for the same, is used to light the candle's wick, which afterwards melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel in the form of wax. Once the fuel or wax is vaporized, it combines with the oxygen present in air to ignite and form a constant flame and the flame provides heat and light.

text: Copper(I) hydride (cuprous hydride, CuH) was the first binary metal hydride to be discovered (in 1844) and is singular in that it is synthesized in solution, at ambient temperature. There are several synthetic paths to CuH, one of which involves reduction of an aqueous solution of CuSO4·5H2O by borohydride ions. The product from this procedure has not been extensively characterized. Using a combination of diffraction methods (X-ray and neutron) and inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy, we show that the CuH from the borohydride route has the same bulk structure as CuH produced by other routes. Our work shows that the product consists of a core of CuH with a shell of water and that this may be largely replaced by ethanol. This offers the possibility of modifying the properties of CuH produced by aqueous routes.
