Italian dig uncovers "oldest" temple in Cyprus
NICOSIA (Reuters) - An Italian archaeologist says she has discovered what is believed to be the oldest site of religious worship in Cyprus, a temple which is about 4,000 years old.
The find at the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site close to the southern city of Limassol predates any other discoveries in Cyprus by about 1,000 years, Italian archaeologist Maria Rosaria Belgiorno said.
"This is the first evidence of religion in Cyprus at the beginning of the second millennium BC," she was quoted as telling the Cyprus Weekly newspaper from Rome.
The Cyprus Antiquities Department said further examination would be required before the find could be verified. "We cannot dismiss the claim but we cannot verify it either," Antiquities Department official Maria Hadjicosti told Reuters.
Belgiorno said she had found the outline of a triangular-shaped temple, comprised of two rooms, on the site. There was a sacrificial altar flanked by a channel on two sides.
"We found no statues, but there is evidence that it is a monotheistic temple," she said. It was probably destroyed in an earthquake and abandoned in 1800 BC.
In ancient religions, triangles typified spiritual gateways or embodied three separate deities.
In the past, the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site has also yielded finds ranging from an ancient perfumery to one of the earliest records of how olive oil was used to fire furnaces.

text: Pipeline vibration induced by fluid flow can cause pipeline fatigue damage, which seriously endangers the safety of the operation. This paper aims to clarify the dynamic variation law of pipeline vibration induced by gas–liquid two-phase flow in the elbow and the influence of different gas–liquid ratios on the dynamic evolution of two-phase flow patterns. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to capture the flow pattern characteristics to explore the complex information of dynamic flow pattern evolution. The vibration characteristic mechanism corresponding to the evolution of the flow pattern is explored based on the time and frequency domain, and the origin of the exciting force of the elbow is explored according to the momentum balance equation. The simulation results show that the VOF method can well capture the characteristics of slug flow developed by the interphase instability mechanism. After phase space reconstruction, the dynamic evolution mechanism of the flow pattern is complex and the chaotic characteristics of slug flow are strong. The evolution of the flow pattern is related to the increase in wave height. The superficial velocity of the liquid phase is more sensitive to the flow pattern's formation mechanism than the gas phases. The amplitude of the wave strongly depends on the Vsg and Vsl. There is a strong correlation between the main exciting force pulsation and momentum flux pulsation.

text: Criterion of the synchronization (CS) of cells division for S. typhi population is proposed. The criterion is based on the assumption of the normal distribution of cells with different generation time in the population after stressor (shock) action. CS is equal to the ratio of the dispersion of the generation time of cells in the population to the average generation time of the whole population and determined from the parameters of the mathematical model. The quantitative values of the parameters of the mathematical model were obtained by the minimization of error between the calculation and experimental data. CS was used for the evaluation and choice of the optimum stressor action in the synchronization of the division of S. typhi.

Texas Physics Consortium
Texas Physics Consortium (TPC) is a group of Physics Departments that pool faculty expertise and institutional resources to provide access to quality upper-level undergraduate and graduate physics courses. The TPC use of pooled resources provides their students with the wide range of upper level physics courses usually available at only large institutions while maintaining the intimate student-faculty interaction of a small department. The TPC has submitted an application to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for all TPC institutions except Commerce to award a single Joint BS Physics Degree. If the proposal is approved, the TPC would become the third largest producer of B.S. Physics Graduates in Texas.
Instructional Delivery Methods
The Texas Physics Consortium uses multiple instructional methods to provide instruction to students in each course based upon course content and the location and needs of the student. Methods used include:
- Face-to-Face instruction - At a student's local campus
- Trans Texas Video Network - live interactive video to students on remote campus sites
- live Webcasts from Texas A&M System - non-interactive method for delivery to student's home or workplace using the Internet
- streaming archived video on Texas A&M System Media Matrix - non-interactive mode for students unable to make class
- interactive web conferencing and archived video using Saba Centra - for nuclear engineering courses out of Texas A&M
While interactive instruction is always best, for students with geographical, work or family conflicts, non-interactive live classroom instruction using a personal computer or anytime asynchronous instruction through streaming video or Saba Centra enables students to complete the degree without delay.
Unlike most undergraduate physics programs, the breadth of the Texas Physics Consortium enables students access to every required upper-level physics course in the Joint BS Degree on an annual rather than bi-annual rotation. This provides flexibility for course scheduling making it easier for students to complete the degree in less time than would otherwise be possible.


article Influence of the Rivet Coating on the Friction during Self-Piercing Riveting yes Benedikt Uhe author 38131 Clara-Maria Kuball author Marion Merklein author Gerson Meschut author 320560000-0002-2763-1246 157 department The number of multi-material joints is increasing as a result of lightweight design. Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is an important mechanical joining technique for multi-material structures. Rivets for SPR are coated to prevent corrosion, but this coating also influences the friction that prevails during the joining process. The aim of the present investigation is to evaluate this influence. The investigation focuses on the common rivet coatings Almac® and zinc-nickel with topcoat as well as on uncoated rivet surfaces. First of all, the coating thickness and the uniformity of the coating distribution are analysed. Friction tests facilitate the classification of the surface properties. The influence of the friction on the characteristic joint parameters and the force-stroke curves is analysed by means of experimental joining tests. More in-depth knowledge of the effects that occur is achieved through the use of numerical simulation. Overall, it is shown that the surface condition of the rivet has an impact on the friction during the joining process and on the resulting joint. However, the detected deviations between different surface conditions do not restrict the operational capability of SPR and the properties of uncoated rivet surfaces, in particular, are similar to those of Almac®-coated rivets. It can thus be assumed that SPR with respect to the joining process is also possible without rivet coating in principle. 2021 eng CoatingFrictionJoining Key Engineering Materials10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.883.11 88311-18 Uhe, B., Kuball, C.-M., Merklein, M., & Meschut, G.

Growing grass using tights and sawdust
Give each beaver scout the leg of a pair of tights and some grass seed which they add to the toe of their tights. They then fill the tights leg with sawdust until it is the size of a tennis ball. Tie off the leg and the rest of the leg cut off. The grass head should then be put into a yogurt pot, toe upwards and watered. They can take them home and keep them watered watching the grass grow.

Convert 420 kvarh to mlvarh
In this article I will show you how to convert 420 kilovolt-amperes reactive hour into millivolt-amperes reactive hour. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 420 kvarh to mlvarh. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Kilovolt-amperes reactive hour to Millivolt-amperes reactive hour
A kilovolt-amperes reactive hour is greater than a millivolt-amperes reactive hour. I know that a kvarh is greater than a mlvarh because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 420 kilovolt-amperes reactive hour into millivolt-amperes reactive hour, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for kvarh to mlvarh is:
1 kvarh = _PHONE_ mlvarh
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 420 kvarh to mlvarh by multiplying _PHONE_ by the number of kilovolt-amperes reactive hour we have, which is 420.
420 x _PHONE_ = 420000000 mlvarh
So, the answer to the question "what is 420 kilovolt-amperes reactive hour in millivolt-amperes reactive hour?" is 420000000 mlvarh.
Kilovolt-amperes reactive hour to Millivolt-amperes reactive hour Conversion Table
Below is a sample conversion table for kvarh to mlvarh:

Best Conversion Unit for 420 kvarh
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 420 kvarh.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 420 kvarh is kilovolt-amperes reactive hour and the amount is 420 kvarh.

A New Cable-Truss Structure for Roadway Driving Next to Goaf
- 63 Downloads
The roof deformation and damage of roadway driving next to goaf in the vertical and horizontal directions are serious, the process of horizontal squeezing–expansion is difficult to be controlled using the traditional anchor truss structure. To solve this problem, a new type of cable-truss structure was designed to effectively control the deformation and damage of the roof along the vertical and horizontal directions. Besides, it had the function of horizontal bidirectional constant resistance. The mechanism of the structure is explained first. Then, the basic mechanical properties obtained through laboratory tests are presented. Finally, field practice is discussed. The results show that the new cable-truss structure has a load bearing force acting on its combination beam according to the horizontal movement of roadway roof. It can also adjust its length to prevent or adapt to the horizontal squeezing-expansion movement of roof, which ensures that the combination beam will not be distorted, torn, or broken. Thus, this new cable-truss structure can effectively mitigate the roof-caving accidents.

Measuring Refractive Index
Light slows down (or bends) whenever it enters a gemstone. Gemologists calculate a gem's refractive index, or RI, by dividing the speed of light in a vacuum by the speed of light as it passes through the gem. (Since the speed of light in a vacuum is always faster than the speed of light through any gemstone, an RI is always a number greater than 1). Gemologists use a device called a refractometer to measure a gem's RI. Since the RI ranges of gemstones have been well established, this is a valuable gem identification technique.
Which Gems Show Birefringence?
Gems with an isometric or cubic crystal system, like diamonds, have only one RI since these crystals don't polarize light. They aren't doubly refractive and, thus, have no birefringence. Amorphous gems like opals also have only one RI and no birefringence.
Gemstones with all other crystal systems are doubly refractive. They have two (or three) RIs based on the direction light enters them.
How do You Calculate a Gem's Birefringence?
The difference between a gemstone's highest and lowest RIs is its birefringence number. The greater that number, the more noticeable the effects of double refraction will…

Research on Thermal Comfort of Crystal Sandstone Light Ceramics
The thermal properties of the crystal sandstone light ceramic products, nature sandstones, tiles and composite floorboards were analyzed and compared in detail by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal simulation method. The results show that the different thermal properties are the main factors which lead to the different thermal comfort to these materials. It is analyzed in theory that the good thermal comforts of the crystal sandstone light ceramics are come from the low thermal conductivity and low density mainly. And the thermal simulation is a reference method on the thermal comfort research of architectural ceramics.

Notable individuals from nursing history.
- Georgia King Battle (_PHONE_): Georgia King Battle was born in Kinston around 1900, the daughter of Harriet and Frank King. After completing all the education that was available to her as an African American in the Kinston City Schools in the early 1900s, she completed high school at the Mary Potter Academy in Oxford NC. Battle graduated from Lincoln Hospital Nursing School in New York City, and returned to Kinston where she became the county's first public health nurse in 1922. Battle briefly moved to Washington, DC, and worked at the Freedman's Hospital, but soon returned to Lenoir County. She resumed her job as a public health nurse and stayed almost 40 years until her retirement. She received both a Service Award and a Certification of Merit from the NC Division of Health Services. On May 29th, 1977, the Lenior Memorial Hospital Nursing Alumni Association honored her as a "Pioneer Nurse" at a tea. The City of Kinston named a Community Center in her honor.
- Carolyn Evangeline Henderson ( ): Henderson was the Associate Director of Education Services at Durham Regional Hospital and Duke University Medical Health System. She was also Chair of the North Carolina Nurses Association Commission on Nursing Education. I grew up in eastern North Carolina. An autobiographical sketch of Henderson from Evelyn Wicker's "Voices" can be found in the Resources section below.


Also referred to as Bubble and Squeek for the effect this dish has on the digestive system - this dish is an excellent way to dispose of holiday leftovers.

 1. Cook bacon in pan. When bacon fat is released, add onions.
 2. When onions begin to brown, add potato and turnip leftovers.
 3. Cook till leftovers are hot.
 4. Share and enjoy!
Yeah, it's no sensei receipe. /me misses him too.
In my experience, neeps and tatties refers to the Scottish dish of mashed turnip (neep = swede or swedish turnip, the big yellow ones usually served to cows, not the little white ones) and mashed potatoes. It is most famously served with haggis, the much-maligned "national dish" of my homeland.
In England, which is near Scotland, "bubble and squeak" (note spelling) refers to fried leftover cabbage and potatoes (optionally with onion).
Re: Bubble and squeak gaining its name from the sound of the digestive system, have you ever had rumbledethumps? This is the Scottish version of bubble and squeak, the difference being that it is baked in the oven with lots of cheese. Parp!!

Quantum well in nanotechnology
Definition of quantum well: If one dimension of the material is reduced to nano range while the other two dimensions remain large, then the material or structure is called quantum well. Quantum well is also called nanolayers.
Preparation of quantum well:
The quantum well in nanotechnology is formed by sandwiching a material (fore example GaAs) between the two layers of another material having broader gap (For example aluminium arsenide). The layers are prepared by the chemical vapor deposition or epitaxy.
In nanotechnology, a quantum well is like a potential well in which the carrier particles are trapped and it took place when the thickness of the well is comparable to the de Broglie wavelength of the carriers.
Application of quantum well:
 1. Quantum wells are used in diode lasers.
 2. Quantum well are used as infra red detectors.

A CBC News report last winter that detailed how many university students could not accurately answer basic geography questions has inspired some academics to deal with the problem at a meeting in St. John's.
The report showed how some Memorial University students in St. John's could not identify Europe on a map, and some did not even know the name of the ocean that surrounds them.
The report was based on Memorial professor Judith Adler, who says her students consistently have trouble with basic geography.
"After this initial disclosure, other Canadian university professors have come forward, divulging that Memorial University isn't the only institution with geo-illiterate students," said a statement from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, which is meeting this weekend with members of the Canadian Association of Geographers.
The group plans to chart a plan of action to "raise the profile of geography and to underline the importance of geoliteracy."
To that end, we put together the following quiz. Test your own knowledge on questions that run from local to global.

These animals are mentioned twice in the Bible (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21). Apes were brought from India by the fleets of Solomon and Hiram. The Hebrews called them "koph_," and the Greeks "_kepos," both words being just the Indian Tamil name of the monkey, kapi, i.e., swift, nimble, active. No species of ape has ever been found in Israel or the adjacent regions.

What you'll need.
First things first, the control center. Now you could choose to make a drone using the RC module available in the game or you could put your Kerbal's life on the line. OBVIOUSLY use the Kerbals. Their faces are HILARIOUS(especially Jebediah). Back to the topic, you will want to choose a cockpit, which should probably, if you're a beginner, be the same type(size(Mk1, Mk2, etc.)) as what you will be using for fuel tanks(I find the easiest to be MK1). Once that is complete, you will need to attach fuel and maybe some empty fuselages. Keep in mind, that different types of engines have different requirements, so you MUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE RIGHT FUEL. Some engines might also need things such as air intakes. Also, don't forget the actual engine. It seems silly ,but it happens.
Here, it gets complicated(ish). As you may know, aerodynamics is a complex physics, and the game hasn't fallen short on some of the key principles. So, the VERY basics are in the following list.
1. You need wings and most likely you will want rudders or flaps to control the plane
2. For a relatively simple plane, it is best to have the center of lift a bit behind the center of mass. I find that the best relative positioning of the center of mass and center of lift is to have the center of the ball icon for the center of lift to be at the same location as the back point of the ball icon for the center of mass. Remember that the center of mass is the point representing the mean (yay back to 3rd grade math class. Thankfully the game calculates it for you) of all the matter, so changing the fuel level will affect the center of mass. And, since the wings and rudders/flaps/ailerons provide lift, shifting their position will change the center of lift.
3. You must have an engine obviously to provide thrust. Again depending on the type of engine, you will need different things like air intakes.
4. Unfortunately there is no absolute invincibility mode in KSP so you will have to put landing gear. Probably the easiest to place and most commonly used is the retractable landing gear which comes in different sizes. I would definitely use those.
Specifics
I talked a lot about engines and what they need because it is very important so your plane can actually have thrust. An extremely common type of engine in modern planes is the jet engine. KSP has many jet engines. The requirements for these are to have a source of liquid fuel and an air intake.
PLEASE NOTE: I have encountered a problem with the game where if you have two jet engines and two air intakes, only one engine may receive the air required. Thus, one of the engines will sputter and die out. I do not know EXACTLY how to fix this problem.
The most simple design would be to have the following in order from front to back:
1. Air intake
2. Cockpit
3. Fuel tank
4. Engine
>Note the wings, flaps, ailerons, rudders, and landing gear would be placed throughout the body of the plane and would have no definite position. It depends on how the plane is structured.
Building Controls
On the left with your parts you have buttons!(The list doesn't contain every button action)
These buttons do the following:
1. Mirror what you build on one side to the other
2. Show center of mass, lift ,and thrust
Another helpful tool is the movement of pieces. Once you place your piece you can make precise movements and rotations using the different ways of moving pieces which you toggle using the buttons on the top of the screen, located right of the parts menu. You can rotate, precisely move, and do more to pieces.
Flying Controls(The Defaults)
The controls are editable.
S = Pull nose up (pitch)

okay great, thanks mate. and that sounds good! thank you!

i do not believ the air intakes have to be placed specifically, i think they auto connect to the engine. i don't play science mode too much because i like creating wacky creations, but you can drain some fuel to adjust center of mass
kickdowndoors Jun 8 @ 12:11am
one problem i encountered (before reading this guide) was at a low-level in science mode. i dont have any empty fuselages, so placing an air intake was really hard. how would you suggest i do this? also, does the air intake have to be placed in front of the fuel used for a specific engine? thanks!
Kerbal1 [author] Nov 2, 2017 @ 3:37pm
Good point however if they are tryino to do a type of cornering maneuver they will need to be able to turn
Javacat1 Nov 2, 2017 @ 3:21am
Another thing: don't use A and D to turn. Instead roll with Q or E in the direction you want, and press S to bring the nose towards where you rolled

oh thanks kerbal
Kerbal1 [author] Nov 1, 2017 @ 4:03pm
if you are pressing A and D it is possible that the way the plane was designed makesit so that the tailfin turning has an affect that makes the plane roll
Quinn Oct 30, 2017 @ 4:05pm
i tried to add a tailfin, usually the AV-R1 winglet. still rolls around. infact, even some of the stock ones do the same thing.

Quinn you need a vertical stabalizer that is controlable

Suggested October 2023 Learn How To Use Mirror In Inkscape?Introduction to Inkscape mirror
Inkscape Mirror is a very useful feature during creating illustrations in Inkscape. It helps us for making symmetrical objects very easily, and for that, we just have to create one side of the object, and then by using mirror features, we can create another side in seconds. You can remove the source object if you don't want that part anymore. There is no specific tool named with Mirror, but we can mirror objects in several ways, and today we will discuss all those ways for having a good understanding of mirroring objects for different types of purposes. So let us start our discussion.How to use Mirror in Inkscape?
We do a mirror of objects in this software for different types of purposes, and it also makes complex designs easy as well as saves our time. Before start discussing this topic, I will create a simple design by using the Bezier tool. You can also press B as short cut key for this tool.
Start Your Free Design Course
3D animation, modelling, simulation, game development & others
I have drawn this pot-like shape with this tool for explaining this topic. This is the half shape of the pot, and I want the same shape on the left side of it so that there will be symmtery from both sides of this pot. We can do this with the Bezier tool also, but there is the chance that we can't get the same curve on the other side same as the curve of the first side of this pot, and it will take time to match both sides exactly that is why we go with mirroring of this half part of the object.
Now you can drag it in the opposite direction of the source object by holding the Ctrl button of the key, and it will snap to the endpoint of the source object.
It is not necessary to make a copy of the source object if you don't want the source object as it is in its previous place. For example, you can select a source object and again choose the Flip Horizontal option.
And it will flip horizontally in it a place that means you will get its mirror shape in the same place.
Same as a flipping object along the horizontal line, you can also flip it along a vertical line, and for that, select your desired object and choose the e Flip Vertical option from the same object menu.
And you will get mirrored shape of the chosen object in the same place along the vertical line.
So we have to select only one object first. So I will place the left part aside and then select the right part only. Now you can see Add path effect button becomes active here.
You can see it makes a mirror of our selected object.
There are some parameters in this box with which you can play around for having different types of changes in the mirrored object. The first one is Mode, and there are some options in Mode. If you choose the 'Horizontal Page center' option from the list.
Then it will arrange both source and mirrored objects horizontally along with the document page.
If you go with 'Vertical Page center', then it will arrange them on the vertical axis of the document page, and it will be at an equal distance from the center of the page.
If you don't want the source object after mirroring it, then you can enable the 'Discard original path' option of the Mirror symmetry tab.
And it will remove source objects like this.
If you enable the Fuse Paths option from the Mirror symmetry dialog box, then it will remove the mirror line between both source and mirrored objects.
If you want, you can change the start point of the mirror line by changing the value of the x or y-axis on the 'Mirror Line start' option of this dialog box, and it will change like this.
You can do the same for the endpoint of the mirror line from the 'Mirror Line end' option.
There are many more options in this mirror effect with which you can play for having a different result.Conclusion
Now, after this article, you have two ways to do a mirror any object for different purposes in Inkscape. I will suggest you make variations in every parameter of the Mirror symmetry effect for having more commands on mirroring of the object, and once you have the command, you can create many complex shapes very easily.Recommended Articles

Imagine a property with both historic significance and present-day potential to be the next big break for Summit County's growing population, its aggressive demand for conservation of open space, or both. A rare find in today's market, the Knorr Lakeside Ranch along the banks of Green Mountain Reservoir is an exceptional property offering both future development and conservation opportunities. A Colorado ranch for sale offering that is a unique opportunity.
With significant local heritage dating back to the 1800s, the Knorr Lakeside Ranch presents a rare opportunity to purchase one of the last large remaining tracts of unencumbered land in Summit County. This first-time offering of 1125 contiguous acres, 1.4 miles of reservoir frontage, upper acreage bordering Arapahoe National Forest, and over 30 CFS of senior water rights dating back to 1896, is perfectly positioned to offer a solution to Summit County's conflict between the citizens' desire for open space and the growing demand for affordable housing.
Construction of the Green Mountain Reservoir Dam began in 1938 as part of the Colorado Big-Thompson Project. The Knorr Ranch once existed at the basin of the present-day Green Mountain Reservoir waters and was relocated to land at a higher elevation surrounding the reservoir to accommodate the project.
In 2013, the Summit County Housing Authority authorized the Summit County Housing Needs Assessment study. This assessment identified the number of units that would need to be produced to house the local workforce through 2020. A subsequent 2016 study reaffirmed what was originally discovered – the housing demands in Summit County were significant. Both studies concluded that at least 1685 housing units need to be created by 2020 to sustain the growing workforce. The Knorr Lakeside Ranch presents an opportunity for future development of sub-dividable land with water rights, to help meet the housing demands of the growing community.
This unencumbered property overlooking the reservoir is also ideally situated for a developer with big ideas, including the potential for a golf course or other project that has unique requirements such as ample water resources.
Summit County has an aggressive conservation and open space program, with a mill levy funding mechanism in place for acquisition of open space. This acreage presents unique potential for conservation and is one of the last opportunities of its kind.
The historic Knorr Ranch is offered for sale at $8,438,000 by the original owners. 1125 Contiguous acres including 1.4 miles Green Mountain Reservoir frontage and significant water recourses, the Ranch is poised with the potential to create a renaissance in Summit County, just as the Green Mountain Reservoir Project did all those years ago.

This is a list of names of forced laborers who were buried in the local cemetery of Braunschweig, Germany
· General Information About the List|
· What is in the database
· Searching the Database
As in most parts of Germany, Braunschweig's industries utilized large numbers of forced laborers/prisoners, Jews and non-Jews, often securing them from concentration camps. Many of these workers died from various diseases or simply from exhaustion or starvation, and they were buried locally. In some cases the persons buried there were listed, in others not.
Ossie Schonfeld of Brooklyn had been deported from Czechoslovakia with his father, Abraham, to Auschwitz, and then to forced labor in Braunschweig. Abraham died there and, many years later, Ossie decided to go to Braunschweig and locate the cemetery. He did so and found the names of others who had died there. Exact dates of death are not known. The list appeared in The Jewish Press on August 18, 1995, and is reproduced from there.
This database contains six fields:
There are 217 records.

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
I'm a newbie in expert systems and in CLIPS in particular (besides in English language too :-) ).
I'm trying to find a maximum (in some meaning) among facts using complicated comparsion predicate. A comparsion predicate is implemented as a function which takes two facts as an arguments. In simple words I need CLIPS to run over all facts, make comparsion using my predicate and give back one fact that is maximum.
One solution might be to evaluate next expression using CLIPS rules:
( Exists x) and not ((Exists y)(y != x) and (y>x))
where ">" stands for my predicate, x and y are facts, like that:
(deftemplate fact (slot name ... ) ... )
(deffunction my-predicate ""
(?fact1 ?fact2)
...
)
(defrule find-max ""
 ?fact1 <- (fact (name ?name1) )
 ( not (test (my-predicate ?fact1 (fact (name ?name2 )))))
=>
...
)
But this example isn't working because of error message about 2nd argument in my-predicate function call.
Another solution is to make intermediate facts that represents base facts with particular name and value of comparsion function for predicate. But this will need several iterations to accomplish final result.
I prefer 1st solution but i don't understand how to code it. I think I need something like in answer to this question. The difference is that my question is about comparsion of whole fact, not just one slot.
Is it possible to find maximum for one activation of rule? If possible, please explain how.

Here's how you would typically do it with a simple comparison:
CLIPS> (clear)
CLIPS>
(deftemplate fact (slot name) (slot value))
CLIPS>
(deffacts test-data
 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
 (fact (name data-6) (value 3)))
CLIPS>
(defrule find-max-value
 (fact (name ?name1) (value ?value1))
 (not (fact (value ?value2&:(> ?value2 ?value1))))
 =>
 (printout t "Fact " ?name1 " is the maximum" crlf))
CLIPS> (reset)
CLIPS> (run)
Fact data-5 is the maximum
CLIPS>
The same basic approach also works if you bind all of the slot values needed for comparison and pass them into a function:
CLIPS> (clear)
CLIPS>
(deftemplate fact (slot name) (slot value))
CLIPS>
(deffacts test-data
 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
 (fact (name data-6) (value 3)))
CLIPS>
(deffunction my-predicate (?value1 ?value2)
 (> ?value1 ?value2))
CLIPS>
(defrule find-max-value
 (fact (name ?name1) (value ?value1))
 (not (fact (value ?value2&:(my-predicate ?value2 ?value1))))
 =>
 (printout t "Fact " ?name1 " is the maximum" crlf))
CLIPS> (reset)
CLIPS> (run)
Fact data-5 is the maximum
CLIPS>
Passing in a fact to the function, however, is problematic because you can't bind the pattern to a fact address inside a not conditional element. If the fact has a slot that serves as a unique identifier, you can use this to retrieve a pointer to the fact (although I wouldn't recommend this approach):
CLIPS> (clear)
CLIPS>
(deftemplate fact (slot name) (slot value))
CLIPS>
(deffacts test-data
 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
 (fact (name data-6) (value 3)))
CLIPS>
(deffunction my-predicate (?fact1 ?fact2)
 (> (fact-slot-value ?fact1 value) (fact-slot-value ?fact2 value)))
CLIPS>
(defrule find-max-value
 ?fact1 <- (fact (name ?name1))
 (not (fact (name ?name2&:(my-predicate (nth$ 1 (find-fact ((?fact2 fact))
 (eq ?fact2:name ?name2)))
 ?fact1))))
 =>
 (printout t "Fact " ?name1 " is the maximum" crlf))
CLIPS> (reset)
CLIPS> (run)
Fact data-5 is the maximum
CLIPS>
What I would suggest doing is to use the fact query functions to iterate over the facts to find the maximum value:
CLIPS> (clear)
CLIPS>
(deftemplate fact (slot name) (slot value))
CLIPS>
(deffacts test-data
 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
 (fact (name data-6) (value 3)))
CLIPS>
(deffunction my-predicate (?fact1 ?fact2)
 (> (fact-slot-value ?fact1 value) (fact-slot-value ?fact2 value)))
CLIPS>
(deffunction find-max (?template ?predicate)
 (bind ?max FALSE)
 (do-for-all-facts ((?f ?template)) TRUE
 (if (or (not ?max) (funcall ?predicate ?f ?max))
 then
 (bind ?max ?f)))
 (return ?max))
CLIPS>
(reset)
CLIPS> (facts)
f-0 (initial-fact)
f-1 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
f-2 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
f-3 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
f-4 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
f-5 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
f-6 (fact (name data-6) (value 3))
For a total of 7 facts.
CLIPS> (find-max fact my-predicate)
<Fact-5>
CLIPS>
(defrule find-max
 =>
 (bind ?fact (find-max fact my-predicate))
 (if ?fact
 then
 (printout t "Fact " (fact-slot-value ?fact name) " is the maximum" crlf)))
CLIPS> (run)
Fact data-5 is the maximum
CLIPS>
Although CLIPS does not, many languages do support accumulation conditional elements which makes it easier to perform this type of calculation. For example, in Jess you can do this:
Jess>
(deftemplate fact (slot name) (slot value))
TRUE
Jess>
(deffacts test-data
 (fact (name data-1) (value 3))
 (fact (name data-2) (value 1))
 (fact (name data-3) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-4) (value 2))
 (fact (name data-5) (value 4))
 (fact (name data-6) (value 3)))
TRUE
Jess> (if FALSE then 3 else 4)
4
Jess>
(defrule find-max-value
 ?c <- (accumulate (bind ?max FALSE)
 (if (or (not ?max) (> ?value ?max))
 then (bind ?max ?value))
 ?max
 (fact (value ?value)))
 =>
 (printout t "The max is " ?c crlf))
TRUE
Jess> (reset)
TRUE
Jess> (run)
The max is 4
1
Jess>

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

Up to 80 percent of certain anonymous underground forum users can be identified using linguistics, researchers say.
The techniques compare user posts to track them across forums and could even unveil authors of thesis papers or blogs who had taken to underground networks.
"If our dataset contains 100 users we can at least identify 80 of them," researcher Sadia Afroz told an audience at the 29C3 Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.
"Function words are very specific to the writer. Even if you are writing a thesis, you'll probably use the same function words in chat messages.

In the wiki it is article only about shear modulus and it is written that it's unit is Pascal. At the same time in all researches about Red Blood Cells shear stresses, authors write "in-plane shear stress" and measure it in N/m. For instance, here - _URL_ I can't understand why - perhaps it is a difference between in-plane shear modulus and shear modulus. Or it is because membrane is a surface in 3D, not the whole body. Any ideas?

When we talk about shear stress and shear modulus we're normally considering the deformation of a 3D body. However the article you cite is not talking about deformation of a 3D body but instead it's treating the surface of the erythrocyte as a 2D object. That means they use a surface stress which is probably better known as surface tension. This is similar to the way you calculate the deformation of soap films.
Surface tension (and therefore surface stress) is a force per unit length so it's units are N/m, and therefore the surface shear stress has the same units of N/m.

Set addresses as primary
For setting a postal address or e-mail address of a person or company data record as primary, click on the grey star. The selected address will now be saved as the primary address used and will be displayed first.
There are two ways to set primary phone numbers:
1. set secondary number primary
Click on the star next to the secondary phone number to set it to primary. The primary phone number is now saved as the secondary phone number.
2. set other number primary
For phone numbers that are not secondary you have the possibility to set them to primary or secondary after clicking on the star.
Disable primary counters
You can deactivate the function of the primary indicators via the Daylite menu bar -> Plugins -> PluginCenter -> Hide Primary Indicators in Edit Card. Afterwards you have to restart Daylite once to make the changes visible.
Take a look at this article to learn how to set addresses and phone numbers as primary:

Buffalo Reef Meeting in Lake Linden
The Buffalo Reef Task Force has scheduled a meeting in Lake Linden later this month to discuss with the public three alternatives tentatively selected for further analysis in the fight to save this important natural reef off the Keweenaw Peninsula.
The meeting will take place on July 31 at the Lake Linden-Hubbell High School, located at 601 Calumet Avenue in Lake Linden.
In February, the task force issued an alternatives analysis which briefly described 13 strategies for managing historic copper mine tailings threatening to destroy spawning habitat and recruitment areas important to Lake Superior whitefish and lake trout in and around Buffalo Reef.
Mine tailings, called stamp sands, were dumped a century ago into Lake Superior at Gay, Michigan, during processing of copper ores from the Mohawk and Wolverine mines. Since that time, the sands have moved south along the shoreline with wave action toward the reef.
Earlier this year, the task force sought public comment on whether there were additional management strategies the group should consider and whether any adjustments should be made to the management strategies or risks described in the draft analysis.
In May, the task force released a responsiveness summary to public comments on the analysis of the alternatives.
On June 20, the task force met to review the 13 alternatives and hone the finalists down to three options that will be fleshed out further in the weeks ahead with specific costs and feasibility.
These three alternatives include:
- Maintenance dredging at the Grand Traverse Harbor and an underwater trough area, with a stone revetment built to retain the stamp sands;
- Dredging the entire area with disposal of the stamp sands in a newly constructed landfill to be located nearby;
- Dredging 15 million cubic yards of stamp sands with disposal in the White Pine Mine tailings basin in Ontonagon County.
"At the public meeting, we will discuss the selection process, request public input on the choice of the three finalist alternatives and on moving forward with these choices for full review and development," said Stephanie Swart, a Buffalo Reef Task Force Steering Committee member and Lake Superior coordinator with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. "We will also provide the public with an update on this summer's dredging work."
Maintenance dredging has been ongoing this summer in the harbor and the trough area to buy time to develop a long-term solution to the stamp sands issue.


text: Anglicanism was brought to the Dominican Republic in 1897 when Benjamin Isaac Wilson migrated from the Virgin Islands. Wilson was a teacher of the Christian faith, and was ordained priest in 1898 by the Bishop of the Independent Haitian Episcopal Church. His primary mission was to serve the English-speaking community in the Dominican Republic. The work of the Episcopal Church began in the Dominican Republic during the occupation of the United States Marine Corps. The Rev. William Wyllie arrived in 1918, and the Rev. Archibald Beer came in 1920. From 1918 until 1960, the supervision of the church was assumed by the Bishops of Puerto Rico and Haiti. In 1940 the General Convention established the Missionary District of the Dominican Republic. The first resident Bishop of the Dominican Republic was the Rt. Rev. Paul Axtell Kellogg, who was consecrated on Mar. 9, 1960. In 1970 it became a missionary diocese, and on Jan. 1, 1986, it became the Diocese of the Dominican Republic.

Test if two date ranges overlap in Ruby or Rails

A check if two date or time ranges A and B overlap needs to cover a lot of cases:
Illustration online protection
Rails Long Term Support
Rails LTS provides security patches for old versions of Ruby on Rails (2.3, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.2)
 - Prevents you from data breaches and liability risks
 - Upgrade at your own pace
 - Works with modern Rubies

1. A partially overlaps B
2. A surrounds B
3. B surrounds A
4. A occurs entirely after B
5. B occurs entirely after A
This means you actually have to check that:
 - neither does A occur entirely after B (meaning A.start > B.end)
 - nor does B occur entirely after A (meaning B.start > A.end)
Flipping this, A and B overlap iff A.start <= B.end && B.start <= A.end
The code below shows how to implement this in Ruby on Rails. The example is a class Interval, which has two attributes #start_date and #end_date. These dates are considered inclusive, meaning that if one interval ends on the day another interval starts, we consider those two intervals overlapping.
Note how we implemented both a version for loaded Ruby objects (Interval#overlaps?) and a scope that returns all overlapping intervals (Interval.overlapping). Depending on your problem you might need one or both or those.
class Interval < ActiveRecord::Base
 validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date
 # Check if a given interval overlaps this interval
 def overlaps?(other)
 start_date <= other.end_date && other.start_date <= end_date
 end
 # Return a scope for all interval overlapping the given interval, excluding the given interval itself
 scope :overlapping, -> { |interval|
 where("id <> ? AND start_date <= ? AND ? <= end_date", interval.id, interval.end_date, interval.start_date)
 }
end
This assumes that start_date <= end_date is always true.
Mixing dates and times
If you mix dates and times incomparisons, mind to not compare datetimes with date ranges in MySQL.

51st Shadow Division
51st shadow div.png
51st Shadow Division
Unit Profile (as of 3078)
Nickname Azrael's Terran Guard
Parent Formation Shadow Divisions
Formed Late 3060s
Disbanded 3078
Unit Description[edit]
The Fifty-first Shadow Division was an elite Word of Blake military formation that didn't appear until after the Jihad broke out. The unit was staffed by a mysterious group of cybernetically augmented warriors known as the Manei Domini, who were solely answerable to Precentor Apollyon. The unit was one of the first Shadow Divisions to see combat.
Case White[edit]
The unit was among the last of the Shadow Divisions to have been formed for the Manei Domini; it first saw combat in March 3068 on Terra. The Division was rushed into action ahead of schedule to deal with the coming Case White invasion. They ravaged the few Com Guard units that survived their landings in Northern Europe. In particular, they faced the 166th Division.[1] These conflicts required the support of TerraSec to slow down the invading ComGuard forces while the Fifty-first moved into position.[2]
Since the ComStar landings, the unit had remained garrisoned on Terra. It dispatched Level II formations to local inhabited settlements of the Terran star system. These included Titan, Io, Mars, Luna and Venus. [3]
The Fifty-first was destroyed in 3078 on Terra.[4]
Rank Name Command
Commanding Officers of 51st Shadow Division
Precentor Azrael 3068
The unit specialized in operations in its home Terran system.
 - Unknown*
Game Rules[edit]
The unit posses the common Shadow Divisions Force Specific abilities when using advanced rules in a scenario. When unit is being used on a planet or base within Terran star system, it presence negates all of the opposing special abilities. It also can use Forcing the Initiative and Overrun Combat abilities in a scenario. If the unit is deployed in combat scenario outside of the Terran solar system, it loses its ability to negate an opposing forces special abilities. [5]

autosp - preprocessor to generate note-spacing commands for MusiXTeX scores
autosp [-v | --version | -h | --help]
autosp [-d | --dotted] [-l | --log] infile[.aspc] [outfile[.tex]]
This program makes it easier to create MusiXTeX scores by converting (non-standard) commands of the form \anotes... \en into one or more conventional note-spacing commands (\notes \Notes \NOtes...), determined by the actual note values, with \sk spacing commands inserted as necessary. The coding for an entire measure can be entered one part at a time, without concern for note-spacing changes within the part or spacing requirements of other parts.
For example, if applied to
 \anotes\qa J\qa K&\ca l\qa m\ca n\en
autosp generates
 \Notes\qa J\sk\qa K\sk&\ca l\qa m\sk\ca n\en
Typically, an \anotes command generates several conventional note-spacing commands.
If the infile argument does not have an.aspc extension, input is taken from infile.aspc if that file exists.
If the outfile argument does not have a.tex extension, output is sent to outfile.tex. If no outfile argument is provided, output will go to infile.tex (or to infile.ltx if a \documentclass declaration is encountered).
For \anotes commands, line breaks and spaces may precede note segments, allowing more flexible source formatting; the line breaks and spaces will be elided from the output.
For example,
is acceptable and generates
If the -l ( --log ) option is used, a very detailed log infile.alog is generated.
If the -d ( --dotted ) option is used, dotted beam notes of the form \qb{n}{.p} are not given extra space; it is assumed that the subsequent note will be shifted by a \roff-like command or a spacing command such as \qsk or \hqsk. Commands of the form \qlp{p}, \qlpp{p},..., \qpb{n}{p} and \qppb{n}{p} are always spaced as indicated.
If there is a single staff, consecutive whole-bar rest bars are merged into a multi-bar rest. Bar-centered rests can be coded using the standard \def\atnextbar notation but the non-standard command \Cpause in a note segment also generates a bar-centered rest.
Spacing commands \sk and \bsk in the source are discarded, but not "small" skips \hsk, \qsk, \tqsk, \hqsk or \qqsk, or the small "backward" skips \hbsk, \bqsk, \btsk, or \bhsk. Moreover, non-standard commands \QQsk, \HQsk \TQsk and \Qsk in the source generate "global" skips; i.e., the effect of \qqsk, \hqsk, \tqsk or \qsk, respectively, in every staff. These ensure that staffs remain synchronized if additional spacing is needed in any staff(s).
Global skips may also be obtained within collective-coding sequences by using up to four successive commas to get the effects of \QQsk, \HQsk, \TQsk or \Qsk, respectively. Global skips \tqsk (or, for double-flats, \qsk) are automatically inserted before accidentals ('^', '_', '=', '<', '>') on collective-coding notes (except when the preceding note is "virtual"; i.e., a skip). If this automatic additional spacing is not wanted in some context, it may be avoided by replacing the accidental in the collective-coding sequence by any of the explicit accidental commands: \sh, \fl, \na, \smallsh, \bigsh, etc. If the automatic spacing is insufficient, the spacing may be increased by adding sufficient commas or using a conventional notes command instead of \anotes.
A note segment can be completely empty, but if a note segment should start with or contain a "space," the note-value of that space must be made explicit with a command of the form \ha{*}, \qa{.*}, \qa{*}, \ca{*}, etc.
From version 2017-06-14, the effects of \TransformNotes calls are implemented by the autosp pre-processor. This enables use of musixlyr in autosp scores; musixlyr.tex is incompatible with the musixtnt.tex implementation of \TransformNotes.
All other conventional MusiXTeX commands are output exactly as given in the input.
autosp determines the spacing for ordinary notes from the note commands themselves; for example,
\qa, \qu, \ql, \qp result in \NOtes;
\ca, \cu, \cl, \ds result in \Notes;
and so on.
The spacing for beamed notes is determined by the beam multiplicity, so that \ib... results in \Notes, \ibb... results in \notes, etc.
Collective coding of note sequences (including accidentals and dots) is handled by expanding the sequence into a sequence of individual note commands.
autosp scales notes by the relevant instrument-size value.
autosp assumes that & and | (rather than \nextinstrument and \nextstaff) are used to separate instruments and staffs.
Appoggiaturas and grace notes are recognized by the use of \tinynotesize; note-spacing of 1.45\elemskip is used. If this isn't suitable and can't be corrected with a small skip, a \vnotes command with any desired spacing can be used.
autosp supports x-tuplets introduced using \xtuplet{x} or \xxtuplet{x:y} and triplets introduced using any of the following commands (regardless of any re-definition of \txt or \tuplettxt):
autosp assumes that an x-tuplet is to be played in (x-1)/x of the apparent x-tuplet duration. So, for example, a triplet in eighths is assumed to be played in the time of one quarter note. If this assumption isn't valid, the x-tuplet must be coded explicitly using a suitable \vnotes command; see the first measure of barsant2.aspc for an example of a non-standard x-tuplet: a 5-tuple of 64th notes with an intended duration of six 64ths.
In some polyrhythmic scores, the \txt numeral may be displaced, even if the notes themselves are correctly spaced. In these cases, it is possible to suppress the normal output of \txt by using the non-standard commands \Triolet (no arguments) or \Xtuplet{k}\ and placing a numeral at the correct location using \zcn (i.e., \zcharnote).
autosp can deal with simultaneous x-tuplets in multiple staffs provided the x values and total note durations are identical.
In some baroque scores, particularly by J.S. Bach, a beamed sixteenth note is vertically aligned with the third note of a triplet of eighth notes in another staff (implying that they should be sounded simultaneously); e.g.,
would be played as if notated
 \uptrio{b}10\ql L\hroff{\cl L}
The following coding will align the beamed sixteenth note with the third note of a triplet in another staff:
and, similarly, for triplets of sixteenth notes:
Generally, user-defined macros are not processed or expanded; however, definitions of the form
 \def\atnextbar{\znotes... \en}
generate definitions that do take account of \TransformNotes.
All staffs are assumed to have the same meter; see kinder2.aspc for an example of how to work around this.
autosp may not be effective for music with more than one voice in a single staff. It might be advisable to use a separate staff for each voice, to avoid \anotes when necessary, or to omit certain voices initially and add them into the resulting TeX file.
See files quod2.aspc, kinder2.aspc, geminiani.aspc and barsant2.aspc for scores suitable for input to autosp. The program tex2aspc can be used to convert "legacy" MusiXTeX scores to.aspc format.

HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc has approved in principle a German-funded project to strengthen underground water protection in Việt Nam.
The project, which will use non-refundable Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the German government, aims to ensure efficient and sustainable exploitation and utilization of underground water resources in the context of climate change as well as prevention of water level decline, saline intrusion and land subsidence caused by underground water exploitation in the coastal provinces of the Mekong Delta.
It also aims to enhance water resource management as well as updating, supplementing and setting up a database on groundwater in areas under the project.
Besides, the project will focus on raising public awareness and strengthening co-ordination between professional agencies, administrators and water users in the protection of groundwater resources and improving the capacity to investigate, assess and protect the management of water resources.
To be implemented from 2018 to 2020 nationwide, the project will have total investment of VNĐ56.4 billion (US$2.45 million), of which VNĐ53.3 billion will come from non-refundable ODA from the German Government, while the remainder will be funded by the Việt Nam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. — VNS

Budget and Spending:
Redesigning Shipping Containers To Reduce Food Costs
CED-78-81, Apr 28, 1978
The cost of food distribution is an important element in food costs. Processed and fresh products for retail sale are transported in shipping containers to their destinations. The variety of container sizes and shapes has made it difficult to develop efficient handling techniques.
Modularization, a concept that geometrically relates food shipping container sizes to one another, offers a way of reducing food costs. This concept has been used in European countries with good results, but little has been done in the United States to implement such standardization. If used, it would permit more efficient transportation and handling of goods, eliminating wasted space and resulting in less damage to goods. Because of diverse package sizes and large capital investments in the packaging industry, modularization can involve high initial equipment costs, but costs can be reduced as size changes are coordinated with new products and normal equipment replacement. Manufacturers would bear the greatest burden of conversion costs and benefit least, while wholesalers would benefit most. Conversion to the metric system would simplify geometric relationships which could help in modularization. If the food industry should convert to the metric system, some manufacturers may design new packages in modular units. Increased food system efficiency could lead to lower food prices, but with neither government nor industry promoting modularization, this is unlikely.
- Review Pending
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Department of Agriculture should initiate the advancement of modularization and enlist the participation of the food industry. Such an effort should include: (1) identifying and quantifying costs and benefits of modularization; (2) determining the most feasible method to coordinate modularization with industry changes; (3) exploring with the food industry what further steps may be necessary; and (4) obtaining the assistance of the National Bureau of Standards. The U.S. Metric Board, when formed, should consider modularization in actions to change food package sizes. Congress should examine the status of efforts to coordinate metrication and modularization and examine food industry progress toward modularization. (HTW)

The 'Real' Triple Crown
2002-195 trophy
In 2006 a silver shield was produced as the physical embodiment of an idea that had existed since 1894. The Triple Crown was first made reference to by the Irish Times in 1894 after Ireland had defeated England, Wales and Scotland in a single season for the first time. Since then the notion of a mythical crown has been a firm part of rugby lexicon and the Triple Crown is one of several accolades contested annually during the 6-Nations Championship.
1914 Triple Crown Illustration
However the 2006 shield was not the first such trophy to have been proposed. In 1975 Dave Merrington, a retired miner from County Durham, sculpted an ornate crown embellished with an English rose, Irish shamrock, Scottish thistle and Welsh Prince of Wales feathers out of a piece of coal that had been hewn from the Haig Colliery in Whitehaven, Cumbria.
This 'Real' Triple Crown was then offered to the four home unions as a trophy for whichever team successfully defeated the other three. Tudor Jones, sports editor for Coal News, campaigned for several years to have the trophy accepted by the unions but eventually conceded defeat when Gareth Edwards and Gerald Davies, themselves sons of miners, sIMG_0554aid that they would prefer for the crown to remain the stuff of legend.
The 'Real' Triple Crown however lived on. In 2000 it was formally presented to the World Rugby Museum by former England centre Jeff Butterfield.

 There are several types of coal, with different calorific values and density. The coal used for the Triple Crown is anthracite, which is very hard and has a high calorific value and therefore expensive to buy.

 The timing is interesting. 1894 completed a cycle, never since repeated, in which all four countries won in turn in as many seasons. That also included the first Triple Crowns for Scotland (1891), Wales (1893) and Ireland (1894). So it marks a point at which beating the other three becomes a serious feat, since all are potential winners themselves. There's a similar significance to the arrival of the Grand Slam as a concept in the late 1950s. I interviewed several players who took part in Wales's Grand Slam seasons of 1950 and 1952 more than 50 years after that achievement. They all remembered it in terms of the Triple Crown. That's because it was still assumed that any team good enough to win the Triple Crown would also beat France. By the mid 1950s this was no longer the case (and only about half the Triple Crown winners since have completed a Slam) so the new term reflected a changing reality.

 - Thanks Huw, that's interesting to hear the 1950s Welsh player's perspective. Our understanding is that it was the Times newspaper that first coined the term 'Grand Slam' (as it applies to northern hemisphere rugby) the day before England achieved a clean-sweep in 1957.

 Who was the 1st team to win The Triple Crown made from Coal
 4. Hi Carin, the trophy was never awarded but Wales were the first side to win a Triple Crown (1976) after it was carved.

To many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, Government House is an imposing grey-stone building in downtown St. John's, and the home of Their Honours the Honourable John C. Crosbie, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador and Her Honour Jane Furneaux Crosbie.
Many people may not know about the vegetable gardens behind the residence, and what happens to the food that's grown there.

The Government House Vegetable Garden Project
by Jackson McLean
Initiated in 2010 by a collective of dedicated volunteers, including Her Honour Jane Furneaux Crosbie, the Government House Vegetable Garden Project is a unique opportunity for high school and junior high youth to learn the basics of food production. A 50 foot by 60 foot plot of 42-raised beds has been cut on the beautiful Government House grounds to accommodate weekly volunteer sessions that run from May to October and include soil preparation, planting, weeding, harvesting, and everything in between.
An additional plot was cut in 2011 and the new soil was used to grow an abundance of potatoes, turnip, corn, and squash.
As the vegetables grow, so does the young person's understanding of the delicate relationship between humans and nature, and the crucial steps that precede supermarket freshness. Issues of food preservation and security are addressed in workshops with guest facilitators from local organizations such as Food Education and Action St. John's (FEASt). Most of the produce is donated to the local food sharing organization: Bridges to Hope.
The success of the program has allowed it to expand and flourish, thereby providing more opportunities for young people to engage in a meaningful volunteer experience that will forever change the way they think about food. Current partners of this project involve Gonzaga High School, Macdonald Drive, and the Duke of Edinburgh Program. If you would like to learn more, please contact _EMAIL_.

A Hino Rainbow midibus
A midibus is a classification of single-decker minibuses which generally are larger than a traditional minibus but smaller than a full-size single decker and can be anywhere between 8 metres (26 ft 3 in) and 11 metres (36 ft 1 in) long. While used in many parts of the world, the midibus is perhaps most common in the United Kingdom, where operators have found them more economical, and to have a sufficient number of seats compared to full size single-decker buses.
Midibuses are often designed to be light weight to save on diesel fuel (e.g. smaller wheels than on larger buses), making them not as durable as heavier 'full size' buses. Some midibuses, such as the Scania OmniTown, are heavier and therefore more durable.
Recently Europe has seen the introduction of the Alexander Dennis Enviro300 and VDL SB200, both predominantly aimed at the UK market which, while being full size buses (in the fact that they are about 12 metres (39 ft 4 in) long), are related to midibuses in being light weight.
US designsEdit
The term "midibus" is not in common use in the United States, such smaller and lighter-duty buses not being employed in public transit roles there except in some very specialized instances. San Francisco, for example, has some buses much smaller than its regular Orion transit buses for the routes that include some of the steeper and curvier hills.
In charter / tour roles, there is indeed a gap between the minibus (12-28 seats) and the touring coach (47-50 seats). Several shuttle bus companies such as Goshen Coaches and Crystal have manufactured rear-engined vehicles that have 30–35 seats, but no generic term has ever been applied to them. They are usually lumped together with their smaller "minibus" brethrens and called "minibus", or "shuttle bus". The only other alternative was to import a "short" (two-axle) version of European touring coaches, known often as "baby coaches", around 30 feet (9.1 m) long and equipped with some 30–32 seats.
In the early 2000s, ABC Companies did introduce a "mid-sized coach", the M1000 series, which was based on the Freightliner Trucks large truck frame. Compared to regular touring coaches, this mid-sized coach was about half the price ($150,000 as opposed to $300,000), but offers no luggage space under the cabin (any luggage space must be carved out of the main cabin) and which had a maximum of 40 seats (without any luggage). It was also front-engined, making it somewhat noisier than rear-engined vehicles.
Other manufacturers, including Goshen and Crystal, introduced similar vehicles based on other large truck frames, such as the GMC design.

In the mid 1800s, philanthropic upper-middle-class ladies were managing the day to day operations of day nurseries. These nurseries provided temporary shelter during the day for the children of mothers who had to find work to support their families. Working fathers boarded their children in cases where the mother had died or was too sick to care for her children. However, illegitimate children were often refused entry.
The nurseries charged modest fees of about ten cents per child per day. Although the fees did not cover costs, they did help with finances. The parents maintained some dignity by paying for the service.
Toronto East End Day Nursery and Settlement
The Nursery was established by members of the Quaker Mission in 1892 and was operated by a board of women directors. For a small fee, the Nursery provided day care and helped mothers find work in domestic and laundry services.
