First the fire :
If, just as a first approximation, we don't worry about a filled bucket being heavier to carry, what is the best point on the river bank for the fire-fighter to fill the bucket?.
If you need to do a calculation with lengths, what measurements will you need to make from your diagram?
It's a general solution you are looking for, so you may need two or three different arrangements or diagrams to see how the solution relates to the positions of the fire-fighter and the fire.
Now the keys :
Draw a horizontal line. Fix two pins at different horizontal levels above the line. A set of keys slides on a string and the string runs over those two pins (the pins are not directly underneath one another). Gradually let out the string length until the weight of the keys brings the string down to touch the drawn horizontal line.
Can you see the connection between this problem and the fire problem above?

How To Install Go on Debian 9 Stretch
Install Go on Debian 9 Stretch
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Go on Debian 9 Stretch. For those of you who didn't know, Go also known as Golang is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. In a nutshell, Go is an elegant language with clean and concise specifications that are readable and comprehensive. One of the major strengths of Golang is its concurrency, which means multiple processes of the Go applications can run at the same time.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add 'sudo' to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation Go on a Debian 9 (Stretch) server.
Prerequisites
 - A server running one of the following operating systems: Debian 9 (Stretch).
 - It's recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
 - SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you're on a desktop).
 - A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you're not careful when acting as the root.
Install Go on Debian 9 Stretch
Step 1. Before we install any software, it's important to make sure your system is up to date by running the following apt-get commands in the terminal:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Step 2. Installing Go on Debian 9.
First, go to the home directory and download Go tarball by using curl command:
cd ~ && curl -O _URL_
Now extract the downloaded tarball using the following command inside /usr/local directory:
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.11.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Then, You should set PATH in order to find Go executable binaries by the system:
sudo nano ~/.profile
Add the following file:
export GOPATH=$HOME/work
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
Next, save and exit the file then reload the profile running the below command:
source ~/.profile
You can confirm with the Go version installed:
### go version
go version go1.11.5 linux/amd64
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Go. Thanks for using this tutorial for installing the latest version of Golang on the Debian 9 server. For additional help or useful information, we recommend you to check the official Go programming language website.

National Stress Awareness Day
04 November
Today is National Stress Awareness Day. Many stitchers will know of the benefits of any kind of craft that engages the hands, while satisfying the creative spark in our minds. What is not so well known is that stitching has been used as a form of therapy since the end of the First World War, when Ernest Thesiger, an actor who had served and been wounded in France, founded the 'Disabled Soldiers Embroidery Society' in order to help soldiers to augment their pensions. The additional benefits of stitching were a bonus – but of significant value to the individuals.
The charity 'Fine Cell Work 'works in prisons around the UK, teaching prisoners to stitch and create gifts that can be sold through the Fine Cell Work website. The benefits of stitching go far beyond the additional income for the individuals and provide a mental respite for the stitchers which is highly valued. Fine Cell Work supply completed cushions, glasses cases and other gifts, or kits for stitching at home.

Fatty food imports, such as mutton flaps and turkey tails – waste products from affluent countries – are a cause of obesity in the Pacific and have been criticised in the NZ Medical Journal.
Report – By Rose Rees-Owen
Alma Hayes returned from her two-week holiday in Samoa, refreshed and rejuvenated. She talks of beautiful sunsets on tranquil beaches and delicious and fresh produce.
"You can't get much fresher than going out to the banana tree and whacking off a bunch for breakfast," she says. However, Hayes stayed in fales with breakfast and dinner included.
There is a paradox between what tourists such as Hayes experience and what many local Samoans eat – supermarkets and markets in Samoa frequently sell imported fatty, mutton flaps, turkey tails and unsafe to eat eggs.
An article titled "New Zealand's impact on health in the South Pacific: Scope for improvement?" in the New Zealand Medical Journal has warned "excess consumption of imported food, especially imported fatty meats, has a causative relationship with endemic obesity in the Pacific".
According to Islands Business, the most relevant survey on obesity in Samoa was done by STEP in 2002, and claims that 85.2 percent of the population in Samoa is obese.
The magazine also cites figures saying that 81.1 percent of men are obese or overweight and 89.8 percent of women are obese or overweight.
Critics condemn "clean, green" New Zealand for contributing to these statistics.
Mutton flaps are fatty scraps of sheep meat. They contain 27.4 gm of fat per 100 gm and New Zealand is a major exporter.
The Medical Journal article says: "From July 2006 to July 2007, NZ$73 million of sheep meat was exported to the Pacific Islands, constituting New Zealand's largest export good to the Pacific."
Co-author of the article in the NZ Medical Journal and associate public health professor at the University of Otago, Dr Nick Wilson, wrote: "I think it is really disgraceful for a wealthy country like New Zealand to export such unhealthy food.
"What is the point of giving Pacific countries development assistance on one hand – and then spreading heart disease epidemics via our hazardous exports on the other."
Another fatty meat regularly sold in Samoa is turkey tails.
They are imported from the United States of America and contain an even higher fat content than mutton flaps.
"Turkey tails top the fat content chart with 32 grams of fat per 100 grams," reports Islands Business.
Jason Garman, media and communications adviser for Oxfam New Zealand, says turkey tails have poor nutritional values.
"They are the fattiest part of the turkey. Most Americans don't even know they exist and wouldn't consider eating them."
So why are Samoans and the wider Pacific allowing these nutrition imports?
Dr Roman Grynberg, a Pacific authority on trade, says the reason is simple – many Pacific Islanders are poor "and these foods are cheap".
"Local healthy foods such as fresh fish, vegetables and root crops are much more expensive," he says.
Edwin Tamasese, a domestic egg farmer in Samoa, is saddened by the quality of eggs imported from the US.
Since March, imported eggs have been forced to put a use-by-date on their products but Tamasese laments that this has not changed much for domestic egg farmers.
"Importers are putting a 60-day sell by date on the cartons instead of the 30-day sell by date that California uses."
This means that when eggs are close to expiring in California, the US can dump them on Samoa, and recover some of their losses.
The major health risk due to the eggs being in the market place for 30 extra days is the presence of Salmonella enteritidus in American poultry.
"With the increased selling time there is a much higher probability of deadly bacteria within the eggs," says Tamasese.
The cheap, imported eggs have intruded heavily on the business of domestic egg farmers.
Tamasese says that the imported eggs have created an "uneven playing field".
The imbalance is responsible for the closure of 13 out of 15 farms on the island, and the remaining two are under severe pressure.
"Domestic producers now only supply approximately 10 – 15 per cent of the market," says Tamasese.
Documentary on diet
Mark Dolan's controversial documentary, The World's Fattest Families and Me, was broadcast recently.
Dolan journeyed to Tonga where he met Towa, 222 kg, and his daughter Sia, 133kg.
The documentary touched many when Dolan took Sia to the supermarket, and showed Sia the nutritional value in the fatty mutton flaps.
He told Sia New Zealanders did not eat this.
"This is the bit that they throw away," he said. Sia broke down in tears.
The documentary exposed that there are no food export regulations in place.
Sue Kedgely, Green Party MP and spokesperson for food, health and wellbeing, said: "New Zealand has a hands-off free trade approach to trade, and government seems to stand back and allow exporters to more or less do what they want."
Commercial interests take priority over the health of poor nations, such as Samoa.
"Trade is not neutral, it can have devastating effects on nations but trade occurs in a context where poverty in our region is endemic and power is used by our neighbours to further their own commercial interests," says Dr Grynberg.
Dr Grynberg also comments that mutton flaps would be processed into pet food in New Zealand, and by exporting the flaps cheap to the Pacific, suppliers can sell their product at a higher price to humans.
Nick Braxton, advocacy and research coordinator of Oxfam New Zealand, says the Samoan government is trying to ban turkey tails from being imported because of their poor nutritional value.
But because turkey tails are a waste product in the United States, and are generating profit, the US is opposing the ban.
The NZ Medical Journal says that Fiji banned mutton flap imports in 2000 and New Zealand responded by threatening to refer the issue to the World Trade Organisation because it goes against the policy of free trade between the two nations.
However, the threat was later dropped and the ban stands.
Dr Grynberg believes that it is an issue of giving the masses what they want, and that is the reason why the government has not taken action.
"Any Pacific Islands government that heavily taxes these products or bans them will suffer the ire of the working poor at the elections and so the issue is largely avoided." Dr Grynberg said.
Rose Rees-Owen is a Postgraduate Diploma in Communication Studies student on the Asia-Pacific Journalism course at AUT University.

How do you keep a paralyzed dog clean?
Be sure to keep incontinent dogs on an absorbent pad or in a diaper when not being directly supervised.
Use dog diapers for dogs in carts or those with some mobility.
Replace diapers and underpads frequently and keep the dog's skin clean and dry.
Bathe the dog as needed and use baby wipes between baths..
Can a paralyzed dog be happy?
Often, paralyzed or partially paralyzed dogs are still perfectly capable of living a comfortable, happy life. They continue to show interest in playing, they're alert and excited when they see you, and they maintain a healthy appetite.
How do paralyzed dogs pee?
Pets who are unable to move their hind limbs are unable to urinate on their own. Sometimes, when a paralyzed pet is lifted, urine is passed – this is likely due to "overflow." The pressure on the abdomen with a full bladder may result in release of urine.
Can a paralyzed dog walk again?
The good news is that most of them do walk again. Statistically, about 80% of paralyzed dogs will walk again with therapy.
When should you euthanize a dog with degenerative myelopathy?
It is best to euthanize a dog with degenerative myelopathy between six months to three years after it has been diagnosed in lots of cases. It is not in your place to make this decision. Your vet will examine your dog and tell you how this illness can impact the quality of its life.
Can my dog live with Ivdd?
Outcomes are most successful in dogs that have not lost their ability to walk. In dogs that have had ongoing symptoms of IVDD, atrophy of the spinal cord can occur and lead to less successful outcomes. Expect recovery from IVDD surgery to take about 6 – 8 weeks.
How do you empty a paralyzed bladder in a dog?
To express the bladder itself, you can use your finger tips or your fingers curled up. Slowly apply steady pressure until you get a steady stream of urine. Keep applying pressure until the urine slows to a dribble or stops and you can almost feel your fingers from each hand touching each other.
Can dogs with IVDD wag their tails?
There is also a grading scale used for dogs with IVDD: … Grade 3: Non-ambulatory paraparesis – these dogs are still able to move their legs and wag their tails, but are not strong enough to support their own weight and walk.
Can paralyzed dogs pee on their own?
A paralyzed dog may have difficulties urinating on their own. If they are not urinating often, it could cause bladder infections. It could also lead to more serious problems if it spreads to the kidneys.
Do dogs feel pain when put to sleep?
Finally, the euthanasia solution is injected into your pet's vein, where it rapidly travels throughout the body. Within seconds, your dog will become unconscious, experiencing no pain or suffering. Breathing will slow down and then stop over the next several seconds.
How much is Ivdd surgery for a dog?
Surgical Treatment of IVDD How much IVDD surgery costs depends on many factors, however you can expect to pay in region of $1,500 to $4,000 for IVDD surgery for your dog.
Can a Paralysed dog wag its tail?
They also can no longer voluntarily wag to express themselves, though they do wave their tails involuntarily as a reflex.
Can dogs poop in a wheelchair?
Yes! Dogs are able to eliminate when in their K9 Cart dog wheel chair. They do not squat, but tend to spread their legs and urine and feces will fall onto the ground missing the supportive frame of the wheelchair.
Should I put my dog down with Ivdd?
There is one small group of IVDD dogs for whom euthanasia is always the best decision: A very small number of severely-affected dogs are unlucky enough to go downhill with PMM (progressive myelomalacia) during the first few days of their illness.
Why do dogs back legs give out?
Causes of Back Leg Weakness in Dogs Degenerative myelopathy. Injury. Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy. Intervertebral disc disease.
What to do when my dogs back legs give out?
Spinal treatments may help some kinds of neurological dysfunction. Your dog might benefit from herniated disc removal and spinal fusion surgery, or from strong anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swollen tissues that pinch nerves.
Why is my dog paralyzed from the waist down?
Paralysis of a hind leg is usually associated with injury to the nerve roots in the lower back or tailbone, the network of nerves located between the spinal cord and the hind leg (lumbosacral plexus), or the femoral, sciatic, peroneal, or tibial nerve in the leg.


Real estate market niche
This is the last in a three-part series about supercharging your real estate business with a marketing niche. Part I of the series discusses how selecting a niche helps you to grow your business. Part II explained how to identify potential niches. This final entry will help you evaluate a real estate market niche choose one that will work for you.
If you do a search on the internet, you'll find a wealth of information on how to determine the value of a market. The approach described below is a common sense way to evaluate a real estate market niche that doesn't require hiring a marketing agency to complete a six-month study.
Evaluate Your Niches' Potential
The first thing you need to do is evaluate the potential for each real estate market niche you identified.
 1. Identify the activity in the niche for the past year or two.
Naturally, the more information you have, the better your evaluation will be. Therefore, get as much information as you can. You'll need to pull information from your MLS and other resources, so first determine how you can identify the niche.
You'll need to use criteria that you can pull from the MLS as a start. For example, determine if you can use zip codes or subdivision names to describe your niche. In addition, think of the other fields you can use to filter transactions. For example, there may be a field agents use to identify the listing as an historical home or a waterfront property.
Make a chart, and for each transaction in the niche, identify:
 - The transaction – perhaps by address
 - The dollar value of the transaction
 - The agents involved in the transaction
 1. Determine if the niche is large enough to support you.
Total up the dollar value of the transactions in the niche. Then, ask yourself: "What if I could capture 5, 10 or 20 percent of the market? Would that allow me to reach my income goals?"
If the answer is that you'd need 50 or 75 percent of the market, you either need the capital required to keep going until you reach that goal, or you need to choose a more active niche.
 1. Real estate market nicheEvaluate your competition.
Look at the chart and sort it according to agent name, and calculate how much of the real estate market niche each agent has captured. For example, if there were 500 transactions and one agent did 10 transactions, that agent would have 2 percent of the market.
Look for trends. Does one agent have a large part of the market? Are there five agents that do the bulk of the transactions, then it falls off to a number of also-ran agents? If one agent has 90 percent of the market, you'd need have much more to offer to break in to that niche. But, let's assume that there are five agents that share the bulk of the transactions.
Your next step would be to research those agents. If you know some of them already, you've got a head start, but you'll still need to do some research.
 - Look at their websites. Do they promote themselves as experts in the niche you're evaluating?
 - What does their website tell you about how they brand themselves and how they sell their services?
 - Look at review websites like Facebook, Zillow and Trulia. Do they have a five star rating on those sites? What do their clients say they liked about their services.
 - Find out everything you can about each agent that would affect their strength as a competitor. Are they mid-career and picking up steam? Are they heading toward retirement? Are they brand new? How many transactions do they complete a year? Do they have any production awards?
After you've gathered information about a competitor, look for things that you do better than they do. Pay attention to any negative reviews to find out what people don't like about working with them. At that point, you should be able to make an educated guess as to how difficult it will be to break into the market.
Make a Choice and Go For It!
You can compare the information you gathered about each of your potential niches and make an informed choice to actively pursue the most promising. Once you've made that commitment, go all out. Brand yourself and your website for that niche and market to the people in that niche.
Finally, ask yourself this question: Would you rather have a small chance of getting a very small part of a huge market, or a good chance at getting a significant portion of a specialized market? When you become the go-to person in a niche, finding new clients will be a breeze – they'll come to you.

Adding lintocpage to the options of hyperref will help? – Harish Kumar Aug 2 '12 at 4:21
2 Answers 2
Probably you mean that the table of contents is not in the bookmarks (outlines). It is debatable, whether the table of contents should have an entry for itself. But for the bookmarks it is IMHO ok, because they are just a navigational help. I use the opportunity to comment some option settings for hyperref. Additional bookmarks can be set using \pdfbookmark as shown in the example, see documentation of hyperref. To avoid links to wrong pages, it is important that \pdfbookmark is on the same page. Ensuring a page break before makes this easier.
 % Some remarks:
 % * drivers like 'pdftex' that can be detected automatically
 % are not necessary
 % * breaklinks is rather an internal option.
 % If a driver does not support it, then forcing the option
 % let the text break across lines, but also the link
 % areas are "broken". If the driver supports the option,
 % then the option is enabled anyway.
 % * Information entries should be set outside,
 % because LaTeX expands the package options,
 % hyperref does not like them, if they are
 % prematurely expanded.
 % * Hyperref has a new option for hiding links: hidelinks
 %...
% Adding package bookmark improves bookmarks handling.
% More features and faster updated bookmarks.

Charging the iPad Mini 2 when planning a trip to Peru
Instructions showing how to recharge your iPad Mini 2 with a Peruvian power outlet using the USB Lightning Apple cable and a 2 pin Europlug Type C power adapter, powering the iPad Mini 2 using a two pin Type A power adapter and how to power the iPad Mini 2 using a 3 pin Type B power charger
Peruvian power outlet
Varying different region codes and voltages can all be daunting when planning on travelling to another country for the first time traveller. These instructions have been specifically written to stop travellers worrying if they'll be able to charge the iPad Mini 2 when staying in Peru.When you are travelling to Peru the following useful instructions show how to charge your iPad Mini 2 by using their standard C, A or B type Peruvian 220 volt 60Hz power outlets, please note Type C power outlets will be used by a majority of Peruvians. Power sockets will vary depending on which area you are travelling to so we recommend reading the list of World power supplies for a complete list of regions and countries. When travelling to Peru from a different country please check that your iPad Mini 2 can be charged using a 240v supply. If it originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110v) make sure your device is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional transformer to prevent the device from overheating whilst powering it up. If you intend to stay somewhere such as Lima or Arequipa read the Peru Wikipedia page [1] for further details. These instructions assume that you have installed Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPad Mini 2.
Charging the iPad Mini 2 in Peru
Can you use the iPad Mini 2 in Peru?
You can use the iPad Mini 2 in Peru by using a power adaptor.
What is the best travel charger for recharging the iPad Mini 2 in Peru?
If you are travelling with more than just your iPad Mini 2 the best international travel adapter for Peru is a multiple USB port charger which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. Peruvians use three different types of wall outlets (C, A and B) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for both types A and C.
Because these types of chargers come with interchangeable pins and can handle 100 volts - 240 volts it makes them ideal for over 100 countries around the world just by switching the supplied plugs over. If your iPad Mini 2 supports Fast Charge then you'll benefit from much quicker charging times by using one of these USB power adapters and support for more power demanding devices like tablets. This means you can charge more than one device at once without needing to bring seperate travel chargers on your Peruvian trip or using up additional power sockets. Because you are only packing a single international travel charger will also keep the size and weight down, making it perfect to fold up in hand baggage and on hand for recharging your iPad Mini 2 at an airport or on the flight. Due to their space saving flexibility these types of power adapters can be used when you return home so when you're not travelling they can sit overnight charging multiple tablets, phones and e-readers using only a single power outlet.
For those travelling to Peru we suggest searching for an adaptable travel charger of this nature online; the travel charger illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous foreign countries.
Alternative travel adapter for Peru
The 4 port USB travel charger is the most compact option for travellers from any country wanting to charge devices using USB, however for visitors also wishing to use their domestic plugs these power converters provide larger but more versatile solutions. All 3 power converters offer surge protection which can be crucial when visiting regions with unreliable or unstable power grids. These power converters come with interchangeable type C, I and G plugs which cover Europe, America, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, China and over 150 countries around the world:
 - BESTEK Portable International Travel Voltage Converter - The BESTEK international travel adaptor has 4 USB charging ports with 3 AC power outlets and is the most popular portable power adapter for travellers originating from America going to Peru using 3 pin type B plug sockets.
 - ORICO Traveling Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip - Also having 4 USB ports but only 2 AC power outlets the travel adapter from Orico is also aimed at travellers from the US using type B plugs. This is a much cheaper alternative to the BESTEK with just one less AC outlet at almost half price.
 - BESTEK International USB Travel Power Strip - This power strip has 2 AC outlets but offers a generous 5 USB charging ports. This versatile power strip is compatible with both American plugs and popular plug types A, D,E/F, G, H, I, L and N making it perfect for most travellers from around the world visiting Peru.

DF2014:Armor stand
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
(Redirected from Armor stand)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about the current version of DF.
Armor Stand
Materials Workshops Labors
Armor stands are a type of furniture. Much like the weapon rack, the armor stand can be used to create a barracks. After being built (b-a), you may define the barracks dimensions (b-a, then +-). It can also be placed in a noble's room to appease them.
When used in a barracks designated for individual and squad equipment, dwarves will prefer to store their armor on stands instead of stockpiles. Doing so in concert with weapon racks will allow you to create centralized armories for your military.
Armor stands do not block dwarf movement.
Stockpile storage always takes priority over furniture, making armor stands all but useless for their practical purpose.

A National PTA Arts Project
The National PTA Reflections program encourages students to explore the arts and express themselves by giving positive recognition for their artistic efforts. Since it was founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, millions of students have benefited from this program.
This contest is open to all students in Pre-K through grade 12. Students should create theme-based artwork in dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography or visual arts. The 2012-2013 Reflections theme is: The Magic of a Moment.
In 2012, National PTA launched the Special Artist Division – a non-graded division limited to students whose physical, cognitive, or mental health challenges meet the American Disabilities Act guidelines. Qualifying students create their own artwork, but may receive non-artistic accommodation or assistance from an adult. Or, qualifying students may choose to follow all general and arts category rules, but receive accommodation to submit Reflections entries in the grade division most closely aligned to their functional abilities.
To download any or all of the category rules as well as the general rules and entry forms, please click on the corresponding images below.

Thrive by Five welcomes Federal Government investment in preschool access for Indigenous children
5 August 2021 – Thrive by Five has welcomed the Morrison Government's $120 million investment in programs to improve access to preschool for Indigenous children in regional and remote Australia as part of the Closing the Gap implementation plan.
Thrive by Five CEO Jay Weatherill said the announcement was recognition of the importance of high quality and universally accessible early learning.
"We know that high quality early childhood education sets children up for life. When children attend high quality early learning they start school ready to learn and have greater opportunities to fulfil their potential in later life," Mr Weatherill said.
"Currently, one in five Australian children are considered developmentally vulnerable at the time they start school. These children are more than twice as likely to be found in low-income communities as in high-income communities and they are also more than twice as likely to be Indigenous.
"The evidence shows that vulnerable children stand to benefit the most from high quality early learning.
"Thrive by Five welcomes investment to improve access to early learning for Indigenous children in regional and remote Australia."
The investment is an expansion of Minderoo Foundation's Connected Beginnings initiative, which has been adopted by the Government and partners with local organisations and providers in regional and rural communities to determine the best method of early education and care delivery.
"We continue to urge National Cabinet to prioritise overall early learning reform," Mr Weatherill said.
Thrive by Five is calling on the National Cabinet to adopt a five-point plan to reform early learning and childcare.
- Agree to a new Federal-State Agreement to deliver universal three-year-old preschool across the country to match the agreement in place for four-year-old preschool.
- Lift the childcare subsidy to 95 per cent for all children and set agreed fee caps.
- Make the childcare subsidy available to all children regardless of the service type and the income or work status of the parents.
- Start workforce planning for a universal system and fund appropriate pay and conditions for educators to end the problem of skill shortages, high vacancy rates and high staff turnover rates across the sector.
- To achieve these outcomes, we ask that early education and childcare become a part of the National Cabinet reform agenda to deal with complexities of the system and build a true national universal system.


Orihimechan no Hoppeta (Hand-made Bakery aLzo)
Orihimechan no Hoppeta means Orihimechan's cheek. Orihimechan is the Katano's industrial promotion character. The concept of the character comes from the Tale of Tanabata. In the story, Orihime is a female deity of weaving.
She fell in love with a deity of cowherd – Hikoboshi. As a result, people's lives were gradually decayed due to the fact that they didn't take their responsibilities as deity. Orihime's father who was very upset about the situation decided their separation. Although people's lives returned to normal, Orihime really missed Hikoboshi every night. In the end, her father allowed Orihime to meet up with Hikoboshi at Amanogawa River (the Milky Way) once a year.
Katano is deeply relating to the Tale of Tanabata. For example, in Katano, there are a lot of Tanabata's spots such as Hatamono Shrine, Hoshida Myokengu Shrine, Amanogawa River, and Aiai Bridge. The reason is that the landscape of Katano is quite similar to that of the tale of Tanabata. Hence, in the Heian period, the Heian nobles who used Katano as a vacation place put Tanabata-related names to each place.
The Hand-made Bakery aLzo started to make very soft bread using Katano's local produce. aLzo is one of Katano's unique bakeries which make original breads.

The purpose of this study is to develop a system of drinking water service village with automatic solenoid faucet based Radio Frequency Identication (RFID). This research develops open and close control on solenoid faucets automatically with RFID card as customer identity. To limit the taking of drinking water volume by customers then developed a prepaid service system with water pulse system. The results showed that the system was able to identify the customer number correctly at a maximum distance of 10 cm. The solenoid valve opens automatically if the customer number has been registered and the water pulse value is not empty. The system also successfully limits the volume of water out as per customer requirements. When the water pulse value has been exhausted, the system manages to close the faucet automatically.

Preoperative splenic artery embolization for massive splenomegaly has been shown to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage during splenectomy. We describe a case of tumor lysis syndrome after proximal splenic artery embolization in a patient with advanced mantle cell lymphoma and splenic involvement. The patient presented initially with hyperkalemia two days after embolization that worsened during splenectomy. He was stabilized, but developed laboratory tumor lysis syndrome with renal failure and expired. High clinical suspicion of tumor lysis syndrome in this setting is advised. Treatment must be started early to avoid serious renal injury and death. Lastly, same day splenectomy and embolization should be considered to decrease the likelihood of developing tumor lysis syndrome.

Recursive Find Files in Dephi
By on in Coding
275 words, estimated reading time 2 minutes.
Simple and very useful Delphi or Pascal function to find files recursively in a given directory.
This function will recursively scan a folder and execute a function each time a file is found.
This function will be run each time a file is found.
Function LogFiles( Const path: String; Const SRec: TSearchRec ): Boolean;

Arthur Berson and Umberto Nobile (source: Bundesarchiv, picture 102-01-016, photographer: unknown, licence CC-BY-SA 3.0)
Arthur Berson (1859–1942) was a German meteorologist and a pioneering aerologist. He set a German track record as a balloonist in 1894, flying from Berlin to Denmark in 18 hours and 35 minutes. Berson completed several spectacular balloon trips to research the Earth's atmosphere. Amongst other things, he was the first balloonist to successfully cross the Baltic Sea. Berson saw meteorology as the physics of the atmosphere. He worked at the aeronautical observatory in Berlin-Tegel and the observatory in Lindenberg.


Australian Professor Denies Existence of the Pied Piper
Sydney Morning Herald: Was the Pied Piper real or a myth created to explain the outbreak of the plague? A Sydney University professor has a theory. The Pied Piper of Hamelin, the allegorical figure who led the town's children away after being denied his just pay, is celebrated throughout the world as a warning to "Pay the Piper," but is it a true story? Sydney University professor Alex Jones says no.
"It is most unlikely that a figure like the Pied Piper of Hamelin ever existed," said Jones. "The story is a myth most likely constructed to represent an outbreak of the plague."
Jones has other theories too, including the pagan origins of the figure, possibly as the German god Woden.

Interesting, I had always figured it was an allegory for the Children's Crusade. Randy Colby

What is the 2 letters after the account name for address books?
 - Hi,
 assume I have an CardDAV account named "account" with an address book called "Accounts Addresses" (Baikal server, if that matters).
 I my contacts app I now see something like "Accounts Addresses (account xy)" in the address book selection. What is that "xy"? It seem to be 2 random letters (containing uppercase/lowercase/numbers).
 - developer
 Please see here: _URL_
 DAVdroid address books accounts: They're named after the CardDAV address book which they are connected to, plus a hash of the URL, for instance: My addresses (UA). The hash is necessary when there are two address books with the same name. The address book account names will be shown in your contacts app as possible destinations for contacts.
 and here: _URL_
 Without the hash (the two letters), it would not be possible to have two address books with the same name (e.g. "Address book") in two different CardDAV accounts.

The Funeral Service Foundation has just released the results of its "Bleeding Edge" research project with world renowned Olson-Zaltman Associates simultaneously revealing both disturbing and encouraging insights.
Recognizing that the growth of cremation has more than doubled (leaping from 1% to more than 2% annually in the last several years) The Funeral Service Foundation commissioned the unconventional market research using the patented ZMET process to study:
THE MARKET WE ARE LOSING.
The ZMET process is an unconventional approach to market research focused on uncovering the unconscious metaphors consumers use to relate with and make choices about a given service or product. Olson Zaltman developed the process while its founders were still professors at Harvard and Penn State in the 1990's. It has since been embraced by a veritable "who's-who" of Global companies, universities, non-profits and governments.
The results didn't so much tell us anything new as they revealed how we are unintentionally reinforcing negative stereotypes which may be causing the market to seek out alternatives.
The Foundation will be rolling out the results of this research at the upcoming NFDA Convention TUESDAY OCTOBER 9 AT 7:30 AM. (SEE NOTE BELOW) in a program entitled:
Breaking the Consumer Code: New Insights Into Ways Consumers Really Think About Funerals
The program will cover the findings and attempt to identify the far-reaching implications for us and how the profession needs to begin the process of transformation over the next 5 or more years to remain relevant in this NEW NORMAL.
Attendees will learn:
- Why 99% of funeral home facilites reinforce consumer attitudes toward death and what you can do to transform
- Why conventional funeral home advertising not only reinforces negative stereotypes but may be driving consumers to look for alternatives
- How consumers are projecting their feelings about death onto practitioners and how we need to reposition ourselves to change that perception
- What is most important to "Baby Boomers" and how they want to be integrated into the planning process for their parents and themselves
- How our profession is experiencing its own grief cycle as it grapples with the transformation of its livelihood
- The NEXT STEPS FAMIC and The Foundation are taking to make resources available to practitioners to facilitate their adaptation

Modern methods of construction: guidance for building standards verification
Provides guidance to Local Authority verifiers and Certifiers as defined under the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 when assessing building warrant applications and certifying works which use Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
This document is part of a collection
8. Future Compliance Plan Approach
8.1. A strengthened approach to compliance
The Compliance and Enforcement Expert Review Panel was set up to support the Ministerial Working Group on Building and Fire Safety following the fire at Grenfell Tower and failings in the construction of Edinburgh School Buildings. The Panel's report
highlighted a need to strengthen the Scottish Building Standards system and the Building Standards Futures Board was established in 2019 to oversee this work. The Compliance Plan (CP) is one of the seven work streams being taken forward by the Futures Board.
The CP work stream aims to provide greater assurance that the risk of non-compliance with the building regulations has been minimised. This will be achieved by considering compliance from the inception of a project through to its completion by requiring better evidence and documentation to be provided by the Relevant Person and the people they appoint to undertake the work.
Following support for the proposal during the public consultation which ran from November 2021 to February 2022, the proposals include the creation of a CP for all High Risk Building (HRB) projects by the Relevant Person and their appointed 'Compliance Plan Manager' (a new oversight role acting on behalf of the Relevant Person).
The CP will identify the risks on a project and set out the evidence needed, inspections to be undertaken and the CP Manager will oversee the CP to ensure it is fully discharged. It is expected that the CP Manager on HRB projects will be a suitably qualified and experienced construction professional.
A Compliance Plan Handbook (CPH) will also be developed providing guidance on this new strengthened approach to delivering building regulation compliant buildings in accordance with the approved building warrant plans and details. It is intended this MMC guidance document will be referenced within the CPH to inform and support the verification of buildings using MMC.
There is a problem
Thanks for your feedback

When we in NYC talk about 'the Holidays', we mean the period from late November to New Year's Day.
'Holiday' in the singular can refer to anything from Easter to 'Talk Like a Pirate Day', depending on the person.
'Vacation' usually means a trip of at least a week away from your home base. As I understand it, the term came into being during the 19th century. During the hot months, wealthy people would close down their town houses. Women and children would be sent off to cooler, relaxing places such as the Catskills or Eastern end of Long Island. men continued to see to business. During the week they boarded at their Clubs and visited their families on the weekends.
This was the time that major repairs and cleaning could be done to the city house without discomfort to the family. Because the house was vacated. The summer became known as 'Vacation' and the term filtered into general use.

WELL Hosts Manual PART IX: LINKING TOPICS BETWEEN CONFERENCES
It is possible to "link" a topic from one conference to another. When this is done, the linked topic will appear in both conferences with exactly the same title and text, but with a different topic number in each conference. Users in either conference can respond to the topic, and all new responses will appear in the linked topic in both conferences. Topics can even be linked between several conferences. (As a Featured conference host, you can only link topics *into* your own conference. You cannot link topics from your conference out to conferences not hosted by you. Independent conferences do not support linking, though a Featured conference host may link an Independent topic into his or her conference with permission.)
9.1 Advantages & Disadvantages
Linking a topic presents a unique set of advantages and disadvantages to ordinary topics. The obvious advantage is that a topic which is germane to two or more conferences can appear in both or all. For example, some topics might well belong in both the Science Conference and our imaginary Mesozoic Life Conference. But some users may only frequent one of these conferences. Linking a topic between them makes the topic available to all users who visit either conference. A user who visits both conferences will see the linked topic in each conference until he/she "forgets" the topic in one or the other.
The disadvantages to linking topics are less obvious, but very important. First and foremost is the issue of a topic's compatibility between two conferences. Different conferences have different rules, expectations and userships. It's entirely possible (and, indeed, it has happened) that a topic whose subject matter appears to apply to two conferences is a poor choice for linking because the people in one conference expect the subject to be discussed in one context, and the people in the other conference expect it to be discussed in another context. Such links can lead, inadvertently, to misunderstandings between both the participants and hosts of the different conferences.
For example, the Mesozoic Life conference is full of serious discussion, scientific fact, and proven biological premise. The TV conference is a much more social atmosphere with discussions geared towards popular culture, the production aspects of broadcasting and general banter. Someone starts a topic in Mesozoic Life on National Geographic specials that the hosts then link into the tv conference. Suddenly you have a topic full of clashing dialogue between scientific fact and discussion of content, and lighthearted banter and a discussion of Barney. Though the subject applies to both conferences, the tone of each conference is significantly different and therefore makes for poor discussion on both sides.
For example, the Mesozoic Life conference is full of serious discussion, scientific fact, and proven So, careful forethought is advised for all hosts concerned before topics are linked between conferences.
9.2 Murphy's Linking Laws
Because of the potential for incompatibility between the approach of two different conferences to the same topic of discussion, it is imperative that the hosts and cohosts of the respective conferences communicate with each other and come to an agreement regarding their linking policies prior to making any links. The following rules of thumb by Dan Murphy are recommended as standard procedure for hosts wishing to link topics:
* When you link a topic from another conference, you must first obtain the permission of a host there. Cohosts in multi-host conferences should work out among themselves the protocol for how this decision is made, etc.
Hosts may waive this rule for any hosts/conferences they wish. If, for example, the hosts of the lawn conference want to give blanket permission to the hosts of the chair conference to link topics there, they may do so, allowing the hosts of chair to skip rule #1 if they see a topic they want to link. This permission may be withdrawn at any time, but until then, the hosts of lawn pretty much have to live with the results.
* If you kill a linked topic, you should leave a message in your conference administrivia or business topic to let users know this was done, as they may have forgotten the topic in another conference but wish to continue reading it there.
9.3 Technical Side-Effects of Linking
Once a topic is linked between two conferences, the ability to scribble responses in the topic is changed. Thereafter, only the original author of the post, and The WELL confteam staff can perform this action. Neither of the hosts will be able to scribble responses (other than their own). If it becomes necessary for the hosts to do so, they must contact The WELL conferencing team, who can do it for them. The hosts of both conferences should agree on the need to scribble in a linked topic before contacting the staff with such a request.
Linked topics are also immune to the host's use of the "retire" command.
The hosts in both conferences do retain, however, their abilities to kill the topic within their own conference. When a linked topic is killed in any conference, it lives on in the other conferences to which it was linked. (This little feature is a handy way for hosts to transfer topics from one conference to another: link it into the new conference then kill it in the old conference. This is also how the attic conference can store killed topics — they are linked there before killing in their place of origin.)
9.4 The Linkfrom Command (Featured Conferences Only)
Now that you know the ins and outs of linking, the actual command may be of interest. Let's say you are the host of the Mesozoic Life conference, and you want to link topic 234 of the Science conference into Mesozoic Life. You've determined who the hosts of the science conference are either by going there and typing display host, or by typing hosted science at any OK prompt, and emailed them to confirm that the link is fine. It's ok to link with permission from one host unless that host says to wait for a reply from their cohost(s) It's wise to inform all hosts of a cohosted conference since hosts may have divided up their duties or have different schedules for logging in. Here's the command (given from the OK prompt in the Mesozoic Life conference):
Both topics will then be marked as in their headers and browse lists, and you will be told the new topic numbers of the linked topic in your conference. PicoSpan will now make an automatic post logging the numbers of the topic and noting that you made the link.
That's all there is to it. Now your guests know something about how the conversation has been expanded. To see where any topic is linked, you can type linked followed by the conference name and topic number to see where a particular topic is linked. For example:
- type: linked science 234
9.5 Listing Linked Topics
This command will produce a list of conferences and topic numbers (without their corresponding titles) for each topic in that conference that is linked. For example, for the words conference, the output of linked words might look like this:
- science.404 words.1041
- archives.208 health.444 medroll.260 words.413
- cbooks.104 media.892 oldsoft.187 software.139 words.1008
- flying.142 words.794
- eff.546 words.902
- … etc.

The Edge of the Cedars State Park, Blanding
Categories: State Parks, Nature & Parks
Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum is a state park and museum of Utah, USA, located in Blanding. It is an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site, a museum, and an archaeological repository. Cowboys from the nearby town of Bluff camped there in the late 19th century and called the site Edge of the Cedars because it sits on the edge of a natural boundary, separating a heavily forested region and a treeless landscape to the south. Cedar is a term locals use for the Utah juniper tree.Because of its archaeological significance, the site was designated a State Historical Monument in 1970 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Edge of Cedars Indian Ruin in 1971. In 1974, the Utah Navajo Development Council donated the 6.65acre site to the Division of Utah State Parks and Recreation. Shortly thereafter the Utah Legislature enabled the establishment of Edge of the Cedars State Park as a museum of Indian history and culture. The museum opened in 1978. The archaeological repository was completed in 1994. Today, the facility serves as the primary repository for archaeological materials excavated from public lands in southeast Utah, and includes archives and a research library.In August 2014 the museum and state park will host the Pecos Conference, the annual gathering of Southwest archaeologists.Use our Blanding vacation builder to visit The Edge of the Cedars State Park on your trip to Blanding, and learn what else travelers and our writers recommend seeing nearby.

iVolunteer is our school based volunteering project.
vInspired is a nationally recognised organisation.
vInspired for schools – accreditation for all students who are volunteers.
What is it?
Each student has an online account where they log hours spent volunteering towards a vInspired award.
How does it work?
vInspired schools provides an opportunity for all young people who devote any of their own time volunteering for schools and other appropriate community activities to be recognised, whether this is attending a Student Voice meeting, helping to plan an assembly or organising a charity event.
Young people add hours to their online personal volunteering account. They include a referee (the name and contact details of an adult who is in charge of the activity e.g. the name of a teacher and their email address); this referee is used centrally to verify that volunteering has taken place. Volunteering hours build towards vInspired awards. These are v10, v50 and v100 certificates. The numbers are representative of the hours spent volunteering.
Does it extend to volunteering beyond New Mills School?
Yes! Students can log any volunteering that they do. For example, they may be involved with Scouts/ Guides or church organisations, to name a few. If students have a reference to verify the time that they have spent volunteering this can count towards their vInspired award. Older students can add time that they have spent volunteering to help to prepare them for future careers e.g. time spent in hospices, care homes etc. Students who are not currently involved with volunteering outside of NMS can also search for available opportunities through their membership of the scheme e.g. become an online mentor for primary school children.
What about after NMS?
vInspired schools is part of a wider charity called vInspired. This enables young people up to the age of 25 to continue to log their volunteering hours meaning that students can continue to build up a resume of what they have done. vInspired awards are recognised by UCAS and major employers as a way for students to formally quantify the volunteering that they have done.
If you are involved in any of the following activities within school you are eligible to register for vInspired.
 - Anti Bullying Ambassadors
 - Sports Leaders
 - Senior Students
 - Student Council Representatives
Register today or speak to Mrs Davies for more information.
Why Volunteer?
There are loads of benefits to doing something for a good cause. You learn new skills, meet new people, and help your career - all at the same time as doing some good in the world.
Into music? You could volunteer at a music festival and get a free ticket in return. Love sport? There's loads of local sports clubs looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help out. What about travelling? Try a different part of the world to expand your horizons. Or maybe you prefer to stay at home? No problem. You can sign up online and make a difference without moving off your sofa.
Wherever you want to go in life, volunteering can help you get there.
Volunteering hours will impress future employers!
73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering experience over one without. 94% of volunteers got their first job or a promotion thanks to the experience.
Volunteering demonstrates transferable skills, which you'll need to get a job or impress at your university interview. By donating your time to others and showing off your vInspired Awards you become a skilled sort of someone that every employer wants on their team.

This means text logs, such as those from Log4net.
Not database redo/undo/transaction files
PCI says that Credit card numbers (PAN) should be sent and stored as encrypted in the database, which means only the encrypted value will appear in any database log file (whether an error log or the actual redo/undo/transaction log file). See Page 8 and item 3.4 of your document for this.
Edit, after _USER_'s observation
 - The database doesn't do encryption/decryption: only storage, no processing
 - The sending/receiving application does encryption/decryption: only processing, no storage

+1 great answer. So you're saying that by this standard the database doesn't even worry about encrypting/decrypting? It's up to the sending and receiving application to do the encryption/decryption? Do I have that right? – Thomas Stringer Jun 14 '12 at 14:11
_USER_: correct. And of course no persistence in the client code. So processing and persistence never happen in the same place. – gbn Jun 14 '12 at 14:14

Tune of the Day: The Gobby O and Variations
This set of variations on the Irish tune "The Gobby-O" is taken from Chicago police officer Francis O'Neill's collection Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody, published in 1922. The tune became popular in American fife and drum repertory, especially under the title "Jefferson and Liberty", the name of a campaign song set to the melody.
One suggestion regarding the meaning of the title postulates a progressive derivation from "Gaberlunzie Boy" (i.e. beggar boy), shortened to "Gaby Boy", and finally morphing into "Gobby-O". Other sources say that the title refers to a 'gobby-stick' (a flute or fife), the inference being that these woodwind instruments are hollow sticks played with the mouth ('gob' is the Gaelic word for 'beak' or 'mouth').

Taiwan culture in ghosts?
You may not believe it like they do, or as much as they do.
But know this, visitors to Taiwan: The Taiwanese believe in life after dead – deep in their culture.
Like most Chinese communities, your Taiwanese hosts hold a strong respect for their dead, the afterlife – and the spirits.
Do not be perturbed. As a tourist in Taiwan, are you aware of these key beliefs?
Culture shock quiz: Taiwan ghosts!?
Which of these ideas are true, as far as the Taiwanese believes?
1. Things related to dying or death are taboo, to be avoided among Taiwan folks.
2. Writing someone's name in red ink is auspicious.
3. The 7th month or Hungry Ghost festival is widely (and loudly!) celebrated among the many colourful festivals in the island.
4. Fengshui (ancient Chinese geomancy) is still practised in modern Taipei!
5. In cosmopolitan cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung (Gaoxiong), such beliefs and superstitions are hardly seen, felt or practised.
Smart traveler answers
Ideas 1, 3 and 4 are true. 2 and 5 are false!
These are the answers to the Tourist Poll in the sidebar on your right!
Smart tourist must-know
The Taiwanese has a strong belief in things spiritual and the afterlife!
Believing in the spiritual realm, respecting their dead, taking precautions to draw in good luck while warding off the bad – and even, celebrating a month-long festival relating to the spirits!
As visitors to the island, what are some aspects of these beliefs you will encounter?
Note: This may not be about your beliefs or whether you are being superstitious.
It is much about being aware of Taiwan culture you are touring; not to unwittingly encroach on beliefs and customs so different!
More smart traveler humor (for laughing only!)
Do not write a Taiwanese friend's name in red ink!
Writing Chinese names in red is a big no-no! Red ink is used for the death and the deceased.
Watch out: What other taboo stuff relating to this culture in the spirits do you avoid?
Taipei or other cities are equally thick in their beliefs!
You may see and meet more elaborate expressions of the Taiwanese beliefs in the rural, less modern areas.
Yet throughout the island – in cities or countryside – the locals and their culture in the supernatural are visible and extensive.
Dear Taiwan travelers,
Do you fear the unknown, tourists?
Now you see, a belief in the unseen is so much a part of Taiwan's religious and cultural backgrounds.
What will be other parts of this 'ghost' culture that might shock you in your touring among Taiwanese and their lifestyles?
Smarter Tourists In Taiwan our first E-Book will show you the taboos and how to tread in touring Taiwan – without apprehension!

Around the 6th century, incense was introduced to Japan along with Buddhism. Why don't you enjoy making incense in Awaji Island, which produces the most incense in Japan? You can choose not only fragrances but also colors and shapes you like, and enjoy your original incense making.
Around the 6th century, incense was introduced into Japan along with Buddhism. Incense also means the art of incense-burning. We can enjoy smelling its natural fragrance produced by burning an aromatic tree, such as 'kyara (aloeswood )', 'jinko (agarwood )'and 'byakudan (sandalwood). At that time when incense was brought into Japan, the purpose of using incense was to purify a human body and drive away something evil, so it had a religious meaning. Later, incense came to be used by ordinary people in their daily life. And nowadays people often use it as part of aromatherapy for the purpose of relaxing themselves and getting rid of their stress.
2. Let's choose the colors!
Today, you can enjoy wonderful fragrances expressing a variety of natural elements such as seasonal flowers and plants, water and air, the sun, and rain.
First, choose the color of incense expressing fragrance! Then, knead the incense with an earthenware mortar. Don't worry as it's easy! Our instructors will show you the process, so just follow their instructions and enjoy the process!

Joseph Rogers Underwood (October 24, 1791 - August 23, 1876) was a United States Representative and Senator from Kentucky.
Joseph Underwood was born in Goochland County, Virginia, the brother of Warner Lewis Underwood. He moved to Barren County, Kentucky in 1803 and lived with his uncle. He attended the common schools and graduated from Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky in 1811. He studied law in Lexington, but his studies were interrupted by the War of 1812, in which he served as a Lieutenant in the Thirteenth Regiment of the Kentucky Infantry. He was admitted to the bar in 1813 and commenced the practice of law in Glasgow, Kentucky.
Underwood served as town trustee and county auditor until 1823. He was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1816 to 1819. He moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1823, and again was a member of the State House of Representatives from 1825 to 1826. He ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Kentucky in 1828, and served as a judge of the Court of Appeals from 1828 until 1835.
Underwood was elected as a Whig to the United States House of Representatives, serving Kentucky's District 3 from March 4, 1835 until March 3, 1843. There he was chairman of the U.S. House Committee on the District of Columbia. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1843, and resumed the practice of law. He was a presidential elector on the Whig ticket in 1844, and again joined the State House in 1846, where he served as speaker.
Underwood was next elected as a Whig to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1847 to March 3, 1853, when he did not run for reelection. He was elected to the State House yet again, serving from 1861 to 1863. He died near Bowling Green and was interred in Fairview Cemetery. Joseph Underwood was the grandfather of Oscar Wilder Underwood.
