A father and son are growing fruit and vegetables 8 metres below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea — here's why
 - Nemo's Garden is an underwater farm in Italy.
 - The project consists of 5 biospheres connected by a central 'tree of life'.
 - Each biosphere has carefully monitored temperature and humidity.
This is Nemo's Garden, it's an underwater farm created by the Ocean Reef Group.
The project was started as an experiment as the owner's crops were suffering in cold weather. Nemo's Garden utilises the near constant temperature of the sea to make growing plants easier.
The garden was first set up in 2013 by Father and son team Sergio and Luca Gamberini just off the coast of Noli, Italy.
While the original experiments were washed away in a storm, a more permanent structure was built shortly after.
Nemo's Garden is connected to a control tower on the shore that monitors each biosphere and provides power.
Ocean Reef Group also produce smaller biospheres that can be placed inside aquariums.

text: Electrocardiography (ECG) is a kind of electrical activities of the heart measured along the skin, and is also an important tool to diagnosis heart decease. In clinical, the conventional ECG electrode is generally used for measuring ECG signal. However, it requires skin preparation and conductive gels to reduce the impedance of the skin-Velectrode interface. These preparation procedures easily cause the inconvenience and discomfort for the user. Moreover, it also easily encounters the problem of conductive gels drying for long-term ECG measurement. In this study, a capacitive coupling electrode was proposed to measure ECG without contacting the patient body of the user directly. By using the proposed capacitive coupling electrode, ECG can be measured without any preparation and conductive gels. Finally, the electrical characteristic was validated, and ECG measurement was also tested in this study.

CALCIUM HARDNESS COLORIMETER OVERVIEW
Total hardness, that is presence of magnesium and calcium, is due mainly
to the run-off water dissolving these salts as it flows or filters
through different strata. Hardness can cause scaling of pipes in
cooling and heating systems. Reverse osmosis and demineralization
also increase harness levels. The LHI93735 meter measures total
hardness in three different scales: 0 to 250, 200 to 500 and 400 to 750
ppm, covering an extensive range of applications. With this meter
hardness can be measured in ppm (mg/L) as well as in French (ofH),
German (odH) and English hardness (oeH). The
reading is expressed directly in ppm and it is not necessary to use
conversion tables or diagrams for interpretation.
The LHI93735 meter comes complete with 2 cuvets, battery and manual.

Variable emittance vane type louvers are flight proven, lightweight assemblies for temperature control of spacecraft equipment and structures. Applications have included both exposed and covered configurations, depending upon spacecraft performance requirements. One of the most recent applications of a new covered configuration is the louver assembly flying on the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), which was successfully launched on a Delta II expendable launch vehicle (ELV) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) on June 7, 1992 into a 528 kilometer circular orbit.
Because EUVE was designed for on-orbit exchange of payload and bus equipment, a new louver-cover design was required which provided protection of the astronauts and louvers during on-orbit servicing in the Space Transportation System (STS).
Described in this paper are features of the louver-cover design which were implemented to provide equal or better thermal control compared to that of the traditional louver-sunshield assembly. Data from thermal vacuum performance testing are included and results are compared to those for a traditional louver-sunshield assembly. The comparisons indicate better than expected performance was achieved for the new louver-cover design.
The enhanced thermal performance and increased durability of the improved louver-cover design make it an ideal application for future missions where on-orbit servicing or extreme micrometeorite environments are encountered.

Ten people taste wine A and wine B. Let $X$ denote the number who prefer A. Assume that all the others indicate a preference for B. The people are a random sample.
If $X=10$, and we test the null hypothesis of no difference in preference between the wines (vs. two-sided alternative), the $p$-value is equal to 0.0020.
I don't get how one comes to the conclusion that the p-value is 0.0020. Are you supposed to use the one sample test for proportion?


The Frost Queen appears as a tall, slender, beautiful woman with a light bluish skin tone. Little is known for certain about the nature of these beings, but they are often thought of as the nymphs of the frozen tundra. Unlike nymphs, they cannot seduce male humanoids, however, they are revered as goddesses among the Frostlings. "Kissed by the Divine Stillness," (as Frostlings describe her) The Frost Queen freezes everything she touches in fragile jewels of ice crystals.
Frost Queens live in the snowy wilderness, often in forests, where they can ponder the quiet turnings of seasons, but in rare moments, they seek something other than solitude, and seek the companionship of their friends, the Frostlings.

Overview of Architectural Survey Program
Maine's architectural survey program began in 1972. Since then, the effort to catalogue and document the historic human-made environment has continued to be a central goal of the Commission's mandate with more than 21,700 properties surveyed to date. The survey component of the overall preservation planning program is a vital one. Surveys document at a variety of levels the historic human-made environment of our communities. This in turn enables us to identify those properties which merit nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and to thereby extend protection to those resources.
CONSULTANTS AND SURVEYORS…
Looking for guidelines for survey activities in Maine?
In addition to geographic based surveys, the Commission has also undertaken theme based survey projects to identify specific property types on a state-wide or regional basis. In the past, theme-based projects have included an inventory of designed landscapes, railroad related buildings, shoe-industry related buildings, sporting camps, textile mills, motor courts, and historic highway bridges, the latter undertaken by the Maine Department of Transportation. Future areas of study will focus on Grange Halls, post World War II commercial and residential architecture, automobile-related resources, and boys and girls summer camps.
One of MHPC's focuses in recent years has been the recordation of agricultural outbuildings and historic farmsteads. These resources are rapidly disappearing from Maine's landscape, and the survey of these properties have resulted in a greater understanding of the state's specialized agricultural buildings and landscapes. This effort will aid in the development of agricultural and rural historic district listings in the National Register.
What is an architectural survey?
Why undertake an architectural survey?
Who can undertake a survey?
What is recorded in a survey?
Properties over 50 years old, including, houses, barns and farms, churches, public buildings, schools, commercial structures, industrial structures, cemeteries, landscapes. Also cultural features, including tree lines, stone walls, and town pounds.
How is survey linked to the National Register?
The information collected during an architectural survey forms the basis for determining the eligibility of a National Register of Historic Places historic district. They provide visual, structural, and historical information that can be evaluated against the National Register criteria; they help to identify trends in style and design; chart neighborhood evolution; and illuminate structures or residences of significant historical importance.

Depends on the OS. Some allow escape sequences and/or provide libs that let you position the cursor exactly (like curses). On Windows, use something along these lines:
HANDLE ConHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
COORD Pos;
Pos.X=3;
Pos.Y=3;
SetConsoleCursorPosition(ConHandle,Pos);

I think there's also an ASCII code ("tab up" maybe?) that DOS (the "command line") will recognize as meaning "go up one line" --- then you have to write a line of blanks, NOT followed by a new-line so as to stay on the line you just erased.

The operating system typically doesn't deliver any typed characters to your program until you hit enter. If you want to respond immediately to keypresses, you have to do something special for your operating system.

Also, why does my code only function when I press Enter three times? How do I alter the program to function by pressing Enter only once?
You called getch() three times, and each call reads another character.
If you want to use the same character value several times, call getch() once and store the character in a variable.
But in your code, only one of the getch() calls is doing anything useful, You can delete the other two calls completely, and you don't need to store the character that you read.

What Does The Clock Is Ticking Mean?
The Clock in Ticking Meaning
Definition: There's not much time left; hurry up.
This expression is an indirect way to urge someone to go faster. It reminds the person that there isn't an infinite amount of time for something to happen.
Origin of the Clock is Ticking
It is unclear exactly when this idiom originated, but it started to increase in popularity around the second half of the 1900s.
It most likely relates to the idea that a ticking clock reminds someone of the passage of time. It keeps them aware of managing their time efficiently.
Examples of the Clock is Ticking
body clock is tickingIn the dialogue below, two men use the idiom while on a fishing trip.
Robert: We've been here for a day and a half, and we still haven't caught anything!
Marty: I know. You have to be patient. Sometimes the fish are biting, and sometimes they aren't. If we stay here long enough, I'm sure we'll catch something.
Robert: I agree, but the clock is ticking! We have to go back home in a few hours. If we don't catch something soon, we won't have time to catch anything before we leave.
Marty: Well, there's really nothing else we can do other than wait.
The second dialogue shows two students talking about the cookies they are baking.
Josh: What time does the party start?
Jeff: As I told you before, it starts at 7. I should remind you that it is already 6:30, so we don't have much time left.
Josh: I know. I'm sorry I started baking the cookies for the party so late. I'm going as fast as I can.
Jeff: I understand, but try to go a little bit faster. The clock is ticking, you know!
Josh: I know! I'll speed up the process as much as possible.
More Examples
This excerpt is from a movie review. It says that the heroes need to hurry to beat the evil villain.
 - The clock is ticking, too, because the nefarious Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) has emerged from an ancient ocean slumber to terrorize the town, find an all-powerful crystal and steal enough gold to reform the enormous monster Goldar. –USA Today
This excerpt is about a government agency that needs to hurry.
 - There's no immediate rush for answers since Congress two years ago extended ISS operations until 2024. But the clock is ticking: the NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017 President Trump signed Tuesday requires the agency begin charting the space station's future beyond 2024. –USA Today
The phrase the clock is ticking is an expression that encourages someone to rush.

Optimal compensation for neuron death

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr. Cristina Savin.
One of the most impressive properties of the brain is its ability to sustain enormous amounts of damage while preserving neural function, as observed in many brain diseases and experimental manipulations. How does the brain compensate for damage, and what is the limit of this compensation?
We propose that the brain compensates optimally for neuron death. This preserves neural function to the greatest possible extent. We show that optimal compensation occurs in a variety of systems, including the occulomotor system, the cricket cercal system and the visual cortex. The mechanism underlying this compensation is balanced network dynamics; neuron death momentarily disrupts the balance of excitation and inhibition, but network dynamics automatically and rapidly recovers this balance, thereby restoring function. The limits of compensation depend on the nature of the disruption; once all the neurons that represent a particular signal dimension are silenced, rapid compensation for those signals becomes impossible. More generally, we propose optimal compensation as a computational principle; without it, optimal neural function will steadily degenerate as the typical wear and tear of a lifetime accumulates.

Parameters
Parameters are to way to parameterize circuits - See Parameter for the full class documentation.
Defining Parameters and reading/writing their values
To define a parameter - just do:
>>> alpha = perceval.P("alpha")
When defining the parameter, you can also set its value, and max/min values and periodicity:
>>> alpha = perceval.P("phi", min_v=0, max_v=2*np.pi, periodic=True)
defining boundaries and periodicity is used in particular when optimizing a parameterized circuit.
Using parameters in a circuit
When a parameter is defined, you can use it within a circuit:
>>> c = BS(theta=alpha)
You can use it several times and define other parameters dynamically:
>>> c = BS(theta=alpha) // PS(pcvl.P("phi")) // BS(theta=alpha)
Note
If you declare two parameters with the same name, they are not refering to the same variable, and to avoid confusion you can not use them simultaneously in a same circuit - the following is incorrect:
>>> c = BS(theta=pcvl.P("alpha")) // PS(pcvl.P("phi")) // BS(theta=pcvl.P("alpha"))
You can retrieve the parameters used in a circuit as following:
>>> params = c.get_parameters()
[Parameter(name='alpha_1', value=None, min=0.0, max=6.283185307179586),
 Parameter(name='phi', value=None, min=0.0, max=6.283185307179586),
 Parameter(name='alpha2', value=None, min=0.0, max=6.283185307179586)]
Setting Values
To give a value to a parameter, use set_value:
>>> alpha.set_value(_URL_
The parameter is then defined and its value will be used when calculating circuit unitary:
>>> alpha.defined
True
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(c.compute_unitary(use_symbolic=False))
⎡sqrt(2)/2 sqrt(2)/2 ⎤
⎣sqrt(2)/2 -sqrt(2)/2⎦
To "forget" the value and turn back the parameter into a variable, use 'reset - or reset_parameters for a circuit
>>> c.reset_parameters()
Visualization
In Perceval, to display anything, we use pcvl.pdisplay().
Display a circuit
Any circuit coded in perceval can be displayed. You just need to make the code associated with the desired circuit, let's call it circ, and add pcvl.pdisplay(circ) afterwards in the python cell.
Let's do an example to understand : you want to display the Mach-Zendher Interferometer.
Start by doing the code associated to the circuit.
>>> import perceval.components.unitary_components as comp
>>> mzi = (pcvl.Circuit(m=2, name="mzi")
... .add((0, 1), comp.BS())
... .add(0, comp.PS(pcvl.Parameter("phi1")))
... .add((0, 1), comp.BS())
... .add(0, comp.PS(pcvl.Parameter("phi2"))))
Then, add pcvl.pdisplay() of your circuit.
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(mzi)
_images/mzi.png
Also, you can change the display of the circuit using a different skin which can itself be configured. Indeed, a boolean can be set to obtain a more compact display (if the circuit is too wide for example).
>>> import perceval as pcvl
>>> import perceval.components.unitary_components as comp
>>> from perceval.rendering.circuit import SymbSkin
>>> C = pcvl.Circuit.decomposition(pcvl.Matrix(comp.PERM([3, 1, 0, 2]).U),
>>> comp.BS(R=pcvl.P("R")), phase_shifter_fn=comp.PS)
>>> symbolic_skin = SymbSkin(compact_display=True)
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(C, skin=symbolic_skin)
_images/decomposition_symb_compact.png
>>> symbolic_skin = SymbSkin(compact_display=False)
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(C, skin=symbolic_skin)
_images/decomposition_symb_compact_false.png
Matrices
With Perceval, you can also display the matrix associated to your circuit.
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(mzi.U)
_images/mzi_matrix.png
Analyzer algorithm
With Perceval, we can use Analyzer to analyse the circuit and compute the associated output probabilities.
For example, we call the Naive backend that we store in simulator_backend:
>>> simulator_backend = pcvl.BackendFactory().get_backend('Naive')
We can create an input state that will enter our optical scheme later on. We store it in input_state and use BasicState from the Perceval library.
>>> input_state = pcvl.BasicState("|1,1>")
let's simulate the distribution obtained when we input two photons in a beam-splitter. We will use the Naive backend already stored in simulator_backend.
We will simulate the behaviour of the circuit using the Circuit Analyser which has three arguments:
 - The first one is an instance of a processor containing the circuit to analyse.
 - The second one is the input state (we will use input_state).
 - The third one is the desired output states. To compute all possible output states, one just input "*".
>>> p = Processor("SLOS", comp.BS()) # create a processor running on SLOS backend
>>> ca = pcvl.algorithm.Analyzer(p,
... [input_state],
... "*")
Then, we display the result of Circuit Analyzer via pdisplay.
>>> pcvl.pdisplay(ca)
_images/CircuitAnalyserHOM.png
Random numbers
To achieve a reproducible result, for example in notebook execution, the pcvl.random_seed() function can be used at the beginning of the program. This function ensures that any random numbers in the optimisation or random parameter generation functions will be reproducible from run to run.
Let's do a small example to understand:
>>> pcvl.random_seed(2)
>>> print(random.random())
0.9478274870593494
>>> print(random.random())
0.9560342718892494
>>> pcvl.random_seed(2)
>>> print(random.random())
0.9478274870593494
>>> print(random.random())
0.9560342718892494
Since the seeds of the 2 cells are identical, the randomly generated numbers are also equal. It works the same way with notebook results.
Converters
The perceval.converters package contains useful tools to convert to and from Perceval objects. They act as bridges to other libraries.
Serialization
Perceval provides generic functions to serialize / deserialize data. A lot of Perceval data classes come with their optimized serializer (matrixes, circuits, basic states, state vectors and some other specific containers).
>>> import perceval as pcvl
>>> from perceval.serialization import serialize, deserialize
>>> c = pcvl.Circuit(4, "My circuit") // pcvl.Unitary(pcvl.Matrix.random_unitary(4))
... // PS(phi=pcvl.P("phi_0")) // pcvl.Unitary(pcvl.Matrix.random_unitary(4))
>>> text_repr = serialize(c)
>>> c2 = deserialize(text_repr) # c and c2 are two instances of the same circuit

Clear and Colored Acrylic Contact Balls
Clear and Colored Acrylic Balls
The most common type of contact ball is made from acrylic plastic. It comes in three types: clear, colored or ultraviolet (black light-activated). The Renegade acrylic balls are made to a high-quality standard. Perfectly round, without inclusions, scratches or blemishes. Contact jugglers often select colored acrylic balls or stage balls if they are going to be used outdoors. A clear acrylic ball can act as a magnifying glass and burn your hands if used in direct sunlight.
- Clear and colored acrylic balls made in small sizes (41mm, 52m, 64mm 70mm) are mostly used for multi-ball contact juggling or by people with small hands.
- Clear and colored acrylic balls in larger sizes (76mm, 82mm, 95mm, 100mm, 120mm) are for singlehand manipulation.
- Ultraviolet (UV) balls are made with a special pigment so they illuminate when under black lights. The balls glow with a bluish tint.
- Stage balls are a great way to learn contact juggling. They are cheaper than acrylic balls and do not make a noise when dropped.
Pro tips (advanced and intermediate contact juggler)
There is a big quality difference between brands of acrylic balls. The vast majority of contact balls are made of recycled acrylic. This affects the clarity of the ball. Using lower-grade material will result in a ball with a slight grey tint, which is from dust or dirt from the factory. The best balls are made from recycled acrylic produced by a Japanese automated factory that molds with new material. The worst balls come from Chinese factories, which are dirty and use recycled source material. Balls made with new acrylic are have the best clarity by far but cost at least twice as much. Our acrylic contact balls are made from Japanese regrind.

Test signature verification
Check if your app is correctly verifying request signatures.
If your app has extensions that require signature verification, you must implement the verification and test that it's working before submitting your app. You can do this via the Developer Portal.
The signature verification test automatically runs after opening the Submit for review page.
Running the test
To test your app's signature verification:
 1. Navigate to an app via the Developer Portal.
 2. Select Verification.
 3. Select Run signature verification test.
You can re-run the test as often as needed.
If an app only has extensions that don't need signature verification, the Run signature verification test button is disabled and running the tests is not required.
Understanding the results
After running the test, a table appears with a list of the endpoints that the app might support. This list is based on the extensions added to the app.
Supported tests
For each endpoint, Canva runs the following tests:
Invalid signature
Canva sends a request to the endpoint with an invalid signature. This happens when someone other than Canva sends requests to your app. The endpoint must reject the request.
Invalid timestamp
Canva sends two requests to the endpoint with invalid timestamps. One of these timestamps is too far in the past, while the other is too far in the future. This happens during a replay attack. The endpoint must reject both requests.
Mixed valid/invalid signatures
Canva sends a request to the endpoint with a comma-separated list of signatures, only one of which is valid. This happens when you regenerates your app's client secret. The endpoint must accept the request.
Status codes
For each test, Canva shows the following status codes:
 - Expected - The status code that Canva expects to receive from the endpoint.
 - Received - The status code that Canva actually received from the endpoint.
When the Expected value matches the Received value, the test passes.
404 status codes
For some tests, the 404 status code is valid. This is because some endpoints are sometimes optional. For example, a publish extension that uses the Basic layout doesn't support the following endpoints:
 - /publish/resources/find
 - /publish/resources/get
But these endpoints still appear in the signature verification test, regardless of how the extension is configured. Other endpoints, such as /editing/image/process/get are always optional, so a 404 status code is always valid.

Preface:
I've been using ChatGPT as a development tool as of late. Prior to searching for possible bug fixes, I'll check to see if ChatGPT has an answer to what I would normally use as a query on Google or Bing. In this instance, I receive the following error after running service apache2 start.
Me:
AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using ::1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
ChatGPT:
This message is generated by the Apache web server and is indicating that the server is not configured with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the current IP address.
To resolve this issue, you can set the ServerName directive globally in the Apache configuration file to specify the FQDN of your server. This can be done by following these steps:
 1. Open the Apache configuration file for editing. This is typically located at /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
 2. Search for the ServerName directive. If it is commented out (i.e., prefixed with a #), remove the # character to uncomment the line.
 3. If the ServerName directive does not exist, add it to the configuration file as follows:
ServerName yourserver.example.com
Replace yourserver.example.com with the FQDN of your server.
 1. Save the configuration file and restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
After completing these steps, the message should no longer appear and the Apache web server should be able to determine the server's FQDN.
Result:
The error did not repeat itself.

AUDI A4
The Audi A4 is a compact executive car produced by the German car manufacturer Audi AG since late 1994. The initial generation A4 succeeded the four previous generations of the Audi 80. And just like its Audi 80 predecessor, the Audi A4 automobile layout consists of a longitudinally oriented engine at the front, with transaxle-type transmissions mounted immediately to the rear of the engine, again, oriented longitudinally. Drive output is transmitted to either the front wheels, or on some models, utilising Audi's 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel drive system via a Torsen centre differential.
Since its inception, the Audi A4 has been available in four generations, based on the Volkswagen Group 'B' series of automobile platforms. Audi's internal numbering convention therefore treats the A4 as a logical continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, hence the initial A4 was designated as the B5-series, followed by the subsequent B6 and B7, and the current B8.
Of the main body styles, it is (and always has been) available as a saloon/sedan variant, and an "Avant", which is Audi's name for an estate/wagon. The second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also had a Cabriolet version, but the Cabriolet was not retained for the current fourth generation (B8), Audi now having Cabriolet versions of the related Audi A5 and S5 coupés — and also the smaller Audi A3.
Additionally, higher performance versions directly related to the A4 include the Audi S4, and the limited availability quattro GmbH-developed very high performance Audi RS4.

This painting reflects upon current environmental crises, particularly in relation to Tasmania's lost natural habitats and its extinct or threatened plants and animals. It borrows the format of Tasmania's 1917 coat of arms and refers to the motto inscribed beneath, Ubertas et Fidelitas (Fertility and Faithfulness).
The two Tasmanian Tigers display, in place of the coat of arm's original symbols of industry and agriculture, an art historical symbol of fertility – Gustave Courbet's L'Origine du monde (The origin of the world, 1866). Set against a brown landscape decimated after decades of exploitation by the agricultural and forestry industries, the painting heralds a land stripped of life. The optimistic "fertility and faithfulness" of a hundred years ago has here been replaced by a barren landscape governed by avarice and neglect.

Work Out With Your Dog - How Animal Agility Training Can Burn Calories For You
The University of Massachusetts studied human oxygen consumption during canine agility training. John Ales
Vigorous Exercise for Dog and Human
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Department of Kinesiology have studied the impact on humans during canine agility training, and their findings were recently highlighted on Zoom Room Dog Agility Training Center's website.
The researchers looked at oxygen consumption (using a face mask and battery-operated, portable metabolic system that measures breath-by-breath gas exchange) as well as heart rate (detected and recorded using a Polar heart rate monitor). The data collected was translated into Metabolic Equivalents, or METs, a way of comparing how much energy a person expends at rest versus during a given activity.

Under a deregulated environment, ancillary services (AS) are defined as the set of products separated from the energy production, which are related to security and reliability of a power system. Ancillary services can be classified in: (a) active power ancillary services (load–frequency control (LFC)—including primary control, automatic generation control (AGC), tertiary control, balancing service and black start provision) and (b) reactive power ancillary services (voltage control). The system operator is the entity responsible for the secure operation of the power system and in this way, the management of all the AS is considered a specific function of the system operator. Under a deregulated framework, ancillary services are separated from the energy production, and can be mandatory or remunerated under market-driven mechanisms. This paper overviews the management of ancillary services in the Spanish power system, including a detailed technical description of the services and the organization of the ancillary services markets. In addition, a comprehensive review of different optimization algorithms and tools used by the agents and system operator within the Spanish electricity business is presented.

Here's What You Can Substitute For Corn Syrup
High-fructose corn syrup is often maligned by nutritionists, but regular old corn syrup is a classic ingredient in recipes like pecan pie, homemade candy, and other sweet treats. So, what's one to do if they go to do their once-a-year holiday baking, only to discover that they're out of corn syrup? Luckily, there are a few substitutions you can use.
Corn syrup is used for a couple of different reasons in recipes. For one, it's sweet, so it adds a sugary flavor to your food. For two, it's an invert sugar (via David Lebovitz). This means that, when used in conjunction with regular sugar, it helps prevent crystallization, something you want to avoid when making smooth caramels and gooey pecan pies. So, what can you substitute for corn syrup when you run out?
The best corn syrup substitutes
The easiest corn syrup substitute, and one that's made with pantry staples, is made by dissolving 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar in 1/4 cup hot water, to make a substitute for one cup of corn syrup (via MyRecipes).
That will give you the viscosity and sweetness you need to replicate corn syrup in most baked good recipes, but it won't help prevent sugar crystallization, so it's best to use something else in candy and caramel recipes.
You can use brown rice syrup or golden syrup, both invert sugars, as a corn syrup substitute when making caramels and candies (via Epicurious). Both have their own flavor profile — brown rice syrup tastes slightly nutty and toasted, while golden syrup has a buttery flavor — but those flavors work well in caramel-type applications.
If you don't need to worry about sugar crystallization, you can try using agave nectar, honey, or cane syrup in your recipe. They have the same ooey-gooey texture as corn syrup, and are about the same level of sweetness.
The next time you run out of corn syrup, don't panic. Chances are you have a corn syrup substitute already waiting in your pantry.

How Onsite LGV Assessors are Bringing Mental Health Benefits to LGV Drivers
Regular driver assessments are an important part of the safety and efficiency of any transport operation, but have you considered that having an RTITB LGV Driver Assessor onsite can help provide much more, including improved mental health for drivers?
An LGV Driver assessment is a one-on-one session between a driver and an LGV Assessor that takes about one hour. Safety, driving ability and minimising fuel consumption or component wear through driving style are some of the typical focusses for most periodic LGV Driver assessments (annually or sooner).
However, while these are all important factors, employers should be aware that these regular one-on-one sessions also provide a valuable opportunity for LGV Drivers to connect with a trusted colleague, in a safe environment, for open discussion and conversation. This is one of the many benefits of having onsite LGV Driver Assessors.
Why are these one-on-one assessments important for mental health?
With limited human interaction, the role of a professional LGV driver can often be a solitary one. During a four-and-a-half-hour drive, or indeed a full ten-hour shift, any minor concerns playing on a driver's mind can easily escalate to feel like major problems. Left untreated, stress and other mental health conditions, such as depression, are likely to worsen, which can lead to lost man hours with drivers calling in sick.
Having an LGV Assessor onsite provides the opportunity for LGV Drivers to regularly share their concerns, and for the LGV Assessor to respond appropriately, either to help alleviate anxiety or, in more serious cases, to highlight concerns to relevant colleagues with a view to offering more suitable support. This can hugely benefit your drivers and your business which may not be so easy if assessments are outsourced.
The benefits of inhouse LGV Assessors
Whether they're employed full-time in the role, or they are a skilled driver with additional responsibility, an LGV Driver Assessor can add significant value to transport and logistics operations.
For example, they can support the recruitment of good driverswith pre-employment driving assessments to ensure potential employees' skills are up to standard. Their valuable skills can help businesses avoid disruption, particularly during peak recruitment times.
For regular drivers they can identify areas where intervention is needed and even assess job specific functions such as company delivery paperwork, loading, unloading or specific vehicle characteristics. It is important to note that the LGV Assessor should not provide remedial instruction, which is the job of LGV Instructors.
Acting as a valuable link between drivers and the transport management team, LGV Assessors may also provide information for compliance or help to plan training schemes. Furthermore, following an incident, Assessors can evaluate drivers which may be exposed to similar risk criteria. Through this analysis, accident causes can be identified, and negated.
How to train onsite LGV Driver Assessors
Available at the RTITB Instructor Academy or delivered on your premises, the RTITB LGV Assessor Training course is designed for very experienced LGV Drivers who want to progress in their careers to assess other LGV Drivers. It is also a useful step for someone interested in becoming an LGV Instructor, as training candidates benefit from an enhanced technical understanding of LGV driving.
What's involved in the LGV Assessor training?
Courses typically cover driver licensing and eyesight checks, the assessment procedure, assessment route selection and directions to drivers. Driver marking sheets are covered along with report writing and accident, vehicle defect and periodical driving assessments.
To pass the LGV Assessor course drivers are usually required to pass an examination consisting of three elements. The first is a personal driving assessment followed by an associated knowledge multiple choice theory paper. They must then conduct a practical assessment of driving ability.
Training from RTITB should always be considered an investment and while mental health is not a specific topic within the LGV Assessor Training, well trained Assessors will possess outstanding communication skills, which are vital in supporting your drivers. In the male dominated logistics and transport industry, mental health is still very much a taboo subject so open communication is important.

Suppose that, as part of an environmental impact study, a power company wants to estimate the difference in mean water temperature between the discharge of its plant and the offshore waters. How many sample measurements must be taken at each site to estimate the true difference between means to within .2°C with 95% confidence? Assume that the range in readings will be about 4°C at each site and the same number of readings will be taken at each site.


Do You Know Why Surgeons Wear Blue And Green Scrubs During Surgeries?
As the problem is mainly with the green coloured optical illusion, it is logical to use green scrubs while surgery. This helps to blend the annoying green colour illusion of organs of the patient in the green scrubs. The combination of white surroundings, white apparel, and bright operating room lights, however, was believed to cause eye strain for surgeons and staff. As a result, operating-room attire was changing to various shades of green by the 1960's. Among other benefits, shades of surgical green as well as blue were found to reduce eye fatigue, provide a high-contrast working environment and make bloodstains less obvious. These shades in replacement of white could help physicians see better for two reasons.
This is the reason why doctors wear only green or blue clothes during the operation. There is a big reason for wearing green and blue clothes in the operation theater. Along with this, there is some scientific Pharmaceutical uniform hire service reason behind this, due to which, during the operation or surgery of a patient, doctors and nurses wear only green or blue clothes. During the operation, doctors have to watch blood for a long time.
If they stare at the white coat again at this time, they will have illusion. But did everyone blindly agree to this green colour change or there was any scientific reason behind it? Did you get the answer of why doctors wear green clothes during surgery? Alright, the next section will answer your query in a scientific way. As the doctors vision continuously focused on the red colored patient's organ, where the red color can cause green colored optical illusion on the white colored surface and certainly can be annoying.
Today we will give you a complete and detailed answer to this question. Seeing green or blue colour from time to time actually makes a doctor's eyes more sensitive to red colour. Green also happens to be the saviour as it is a complete opposite to red, thereby reducing the illusions. Contrasting colours like blue or green help to differentiate between the red and pink organs and tissues of the human body which is a big requirement in the surgery. This in turn has an advantage of better concentration on the patient and his/her anatomy. Thus, looking at blue or green during the surgery helps refreshing the surgeon's vision of red things.
Since then, most doctors started wearing green clothes, although some doctors also wear blue clothes. There are two major reasons why green could help doctors see well. The first reason is; seeing blue, or green can refresh a doctor's vision of red things, including a patient's bloody bowel during surgery. If the surgeon looks at something red and pink, the surgeon becomes insensitive to it. The red signal in the brain fades, which can make it difficult to understand the nuances of the human body.
Originally, operating room attire was white to emphasize cleanliness. However, the combination of bright operating lights and an all-white environment led to eye strain for the surgeon and staff. At the same time, it is also mentioned that white clothes are worn as a symbol of peace. It is also believed that after coming to the hospital, the patient can stay positive in a stressful environment, that is why doctors always wear white coats.
Red can lead to distracting green illusions on white surfaces. However, this still doesn't explain why surgeons chose green and blue as the primary colors for their scrubs and not purple or yellow.
Which also helped centralized laundries from mixing up different institutions linnens . Most scrubs in operating rooms remain blue or green today, however, some facilities have gone so far as to have scrubs in an obnoxious pink color, which helps to lessen the impact of scrubs 'walking off'. Often you all have seen a doctor wearing green or blue clothes in movies or in the hospital. Usually, such clothes are worn by a doctor when someone has to do an operation.
Originally designed for use by surgeons and other operating room personnel, who would put them on when sterilizing themselves, or "scrubbing in", before surgery, they are now worn by many hospital personnel. This is the reason that from the curtains to the clothes of the employees in the hospitals are green or blue, so that the eyes of the patients coming and staying in the hospital are relaxed, they do not have any problem. Because of this, the green and blue colours of their clothes not only help to improve a surgeon's visual acuity but also make them more sensitive to different shades of red.

text: Scheduling plays an essential role in multitasking, multiprocessing, and real-time operating systems. The major objective of scheduling is to enhance system performance. Various pre-emptive and non-preemptive scheduling techniques have been developed; however, often contradictory results have left designer skeptical about the efficacy of techniques and there exists no clear consensus about the robustness of the scheduling technique. Round robin is considered as the most widely adopted algorithm having advantages that include fairness and simplicity, but constant time quantum may result in worst turnaround time and waiting time. In this research work, a round robin based scheduling scheme named randomized dynamic quantum (RDQ) CPU scheduling algorithm has been proposed that is based on the idea of using randomly generated dynamic time quantum. Simulation results indicate that RDQ improves turnaround time and waiting time as compared to existing schemes.

 - Change after 'x' imprints (an imprint/number can be printed several times before it counts upwards)
 - Define a prefix or suffix to your number
Printing consecutive numbering imprints:
Since one of the latest updates, imprints with numbering function are automatically counted up from the e-mark. For this purpose, a numbering has to be added in the editor or a template has to be selected from the numbering category. Then send it once to the e-mark, the rest will be done by the e-mark itself. The e-mark continues to count even if the app is closed or the e-mark is switched off between two prints.
Please note that prints with numbering function cannot be stored on the e-mark at the blue, pink and orange positions or added to the print queue.
Furthermore, please note that by removing the battery or having had a battery level of 0 %, the e-mark resets numbering and will not print the right information any more.

Privilege Management Console QuickStart
This section details the most likely tasks to get started with PMC, including automatically authorizing and assigning computers to groups in PMC.
After you deploy PMC, you can:
 - Manage policy
 - Create groups and assign policy
 - Use parameter-based MSI to authorize and assign computers to these groups
Manage Policy
There are various approaches you can take to PMC. For example, if you are new to PMC you may want to create a group, assign it as the Default Group, add all your computers to that group, and then assign the Privilege Management QuickStart policy to that group.
If you are migrating to PMC, you may want to replicate your existing groups and assign the same policy to them, before authorizing and placing your computers in those groups.
For more information, please see Manage Privilege Management Console Policy.
Once you have your policy, you can create groups in PMC and assign policies to those groups.
Create Groups and Assign Policy
Create Groups
 1. Navigate to and click the Groups tile.
 2. Select Actions > Create Group.
 3. Enter a Group Name. The Description and Annotations fields are optional.
 4. Click Submit. Your group is created and appears in the grid list below.
Once the group is created, you can set it as the Default group. If set, the Default group will be selected by default when you add one or more computers to a group. To set the group as the Default group, right-click the group, and then select Set Default.
Assign Policy
 1. Navigate to and click the Groups tile.
 2. Select Actions > Assign Policy. The row will briefly flash green to indicate that PMC has processed your request.
 3. Select the policy you want to assign from the dropdown and the associated revision. By default, the revision is the most recent.
 4. The text at the bottom tells you how big the policy is and how many computers it will be assigned to. Click Assign to assign the policy to your group.
For details on how you can control the deployment of your policy, please see Manage Policy Deployment Settings in Privilege Management Console.
Install Privilege Management
You need to install Privilege Management for the target operating system, as well as the PMC adapter.
The Privilege Management installation packages differ based on your operating system:
For 32-bit (x86) systems run:
PrivilegeManagementForWindows_x86.exe
For 64-bit (x64) systems run:
PrivilegeManagementForWindows_x64.exe
You need to install Privilege Management for Windows in silent mode with the iC3MODE switch enabled:
Msiexec.exe /i PrivilegeManagementForWindows_x.xxx.x.msi IC3MODE=1 /qn /norestart
PrivilegeManagementConsoleMacOSAdapter.dmg

The P550B gets last place in this chart. This doesn't sound weird, given its bad ripple suppression at 12V and the equally bad transient response performance.
The graph below depicts the cooling fan's average noise over the PSU's operating range, with an ambient temperature between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius (86 to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
Low efficiency means increased thermal loads, so the fan has to work hard to protect and cool down the PSU. This translates to high noise output. The P550B is noisy, so if you want to build a quiet system, remove it from your list.
The following graph shows the PSU's average efficiency throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
This is a low-efficiency platform. If you need higher efficiency and lower thermal loads, better get something else.
Power Factor Rating
The following graph shows the PSU's average power factor reading throughout its operating range with an ambient temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The power factor with 115V input is high enough. On the contrary, it is bottom low with 230V.

Remembrance Day
This year in school we have marked Remembrance Day slightly differently. Due to the current COVID restrictions we have not held year group assemblies so instead form tutors have shared a thought provoking presentation set to music. Students also completed a general knowledge quiz to help them to reflect upon the reasons for the commemoration.
A group of students in year 8 went on to work together to create a cascading poppy installation in the school corridor. They decorated multi-faith symbols of remembrance with thoughtful words and reflections. Members of our student leadership team were also filmed reading the poem 'futility' by Wilfred Owen. This was then shown to all classes on Remembrance Day. Our Graphics teacher also shared the fantastic way that year 11 students had explored the theme of Remembrance Day through their subject. The poppy images were made by GCSE Graphics students in response to a cross curricular Graphics/English project based on the poem 'Poppies' by Jane Weir. A selection of those images are shared in this article.
We are incredibly proud of the respectful attitudes that our students have shown and their enthusiasm for ensuring that St Matthias marked this important day in the most wonderful of ways!

Secret Behind The Jewish Question Circumcision Trauma Based Mind Control
Roger Dommergue (full name Roger Dommergue Polacco de Menasce; b. 1923), is a French speaking Jewish professor, philosopher, and essayist, known for his writings concerning alternative medicine and his Holocaust scepticism.
Dommergue is a critic of contemporary claims concerning the Holocaust, Hitler, and National socialist Germany. He is especially critical of the claim that the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust was six million, as he claims that there were not even this number of Jews living in Germany or occupied Europe.
Dommergue is a critic of brit milah, claiming that infant circumcision performed on the 8th day after birth constitutes an infantile trauma and negatively affects hormone development, as Dommergue claims that the 8th day after birth is the beginning of the first puberty which lasts for 21 days thereafter. He claims that the endocrinologist Dr. Jean Gautier has given evidence of this.

input geometry is in lat/lon order, you can use ST_FlipCoordinates to swap X and Y.
Lon/Lat Order in the source and target CRS
Sedona will make sure the source and target CRS to be in lon/lat order. If the source CRS or target CRS is in lat/lon order, these CRS will be swapped to lon/lat order.
CRS code
The CRS code is the code of the CRS in the official EPSG database (_URL_ in the format of EPSG:XXXX. A community tool EPSG.io can help you quick identify a CRS code. For example, the code of WGS84 is EPSG:4326.
WKT format
You can also use OGC WKT v1 format to specify the source CRS and target CRS. An example OGC WKT v1 CRS of EPGS:3857 is as follows:
PROJCS["WGS 84 / Pseudo-Mercator",
 GEOGCS["WGS 84",

A typical bilging puzzle
Bilging is one of seven duty puzzles and the first puzzle new players are assigned to practice. Its mechanics heavily borrow from Nintendo's Tetris Attack and Popcap's Bejeweled.
Good bilgers help to remove water that gradually accumulates in a ship's bilges, which is termed bilge water. The bilge meter displays the water level, and the waterline in the bilging puzzle also corresponds to this level. The higher the bilge level, the less effective sailing is.
Basic gameplay
The mouse or arrow keys move a two-piece target around the board. Clicking or pressing space swaps two selected pieces horizontally. Forming rows or columns of three pieces clears them and the bilge is pumped away.
With a mouse:
 - Mouse Movement: Move Cursor
 - Left Mouse Button: Swap Pieces
On the keyboard:
 - Arrow Keys: Move Cursor
 - Enter: Swap Pieces
 - Space: Swap Pieces
This is an excellent bilge clear.
The best bilgers can create combos that clear more than three pieces. Clearing four or five pieces offers a slight bonus, but one should try to aim for clearing more than one column or row with one move. There are different messages for each combo:
 - Good - 4 in a row
 - Great - 5 in a row
 - Arrr! - 3x3 or 3x4
 - Har! - 4x4
 - Yarrr! - Ax5
 - Bingo! - AxBxC
 - Sea Donkey! - 3x3x3x3, 3x3x3x4, or 3x3x4x4
 - Vegas! - AxBxCx5
Note: The letters refer to a cleared line of any length. For a Vegas it require two horizontal rows of 3, and two vertical rows, only one of which must be 5 in length. A 3x3x3x5 is a vegas, but scores less than a 3x3x4x5 vegas.
It is possible to create chain reactions when bilging, but as chain reactions are often more a result of random chance than strategy, they do not score highly when compared to combos. However, on rare occasions a long chain reaction will clear many blocks and cause multiple crabs to raise above the waterline - these chain reactions can score noticeably well. Chains can also help to "clear out" a board that has begun to run out of combos. A large number of new pieces from chains gives many possibilities for new combos.
The water line
All bilge puzzles start with three lines filled with water at the bottom. This water does not affect the ship's performance, and it cannot be cleared out. If the bilge puzzle is ignored, or played badly, the water level will increase. The higher the damage the ship has sustained, the faster the water will trickle in. This water slows down the effectiveness of sailing. Playing the bilge puzzle effectively will clear out the water to its original level. A side effect of the water line is that pieces moved below it move more slowly.
Crabs, puffer fish, and jellyfish, oh my!
Bilge Critters.png
A crab.gif
Crabs are immovable pieces that are cleared when they reach the water line. Crabs can appear at the 5 star level or higher. Crabs offer a high scoring bonus when cleared, and the bonus increases with the height of the water and the number of crabs simultaneously cleared. Clicking on a crab only results in the crab doing a little jig while shrieking.
The puffer fish expands when clicked and clears itself and the eight adjacent pieces. The puffer fish can appear at the 3 star level or higher. It is detrimental to the score unless it results in a chain reaction clear or it causes one or more crabs to clear by rising above the water line. (Destroying a crab by clicking an adjacent pufferfish does not score a bonus.) Letting pufferfish rise near the top of the screen can make converting crabs from obstacles into bonuses much easier--with one click on a pufferfish near the top of a board it is possible to raise three columns by up to three spaces each. Swapping two pufferfish simply swaps them as if they were normal pieces.
Swapping a colored piece with a jellyfish clears all the pieces of the same color on the board. The Jellyfish can appear at the 6 star level or higher. When used effectively, jellyfish often cause long chain reactions, thus creating new combo possibilities on the board.
Jellyfish do not work on other special pieces. Attempting to swap the jellyfish with a crab does not work. Attempting to swap the jellyfish with the pufferfish will cause the pufferfish to activate first, destroying the jellyfish. Attempting to swap two jellyfish with each other will cause them to swap as if they were normal pieces.
Bilge scoring
Bilge scoring is based around the efficiency of movesthe less moves taken to clear pieces, the higher the score. Unlike sailing, bilging takes time delay directly into account. A small delay is acceptable when searching for a new move. A good balance of strategy and speed is best for a bilger.
An approximation of the bilge scoring system has been compiled by players.
Tips and tricks
Not everyone puzzles the same way.
Players can increase their chances of scoring an incredible on the duty report after the first league by trying to create a double on the first move, and by looking for efficient combos after that. Players could also attempt to make a bingo within the first few moves. The efficiency of the opening moves is very important to scoring well in the first league.
As the size of the combo made increases, more and more moves can be made while still scoring well. Strategy also changes greatly as a player's standing increases. At the higher levels of bilge, there is more leeway to make extra moves to go for larger combos. At lower levels, players ought to be even more efficient and generally aim for smaller combos.
Generally a break of 3 is worth slightly less than 1 move (and should mainly be used for intermediate breaks), while a break of 4 or 5 is worth between 1-2 moves. A 3x3 double is worth about 3 moves. At high levels, a bingo is worth about 8 moves. Thus, as the size of the break goes up, the bonus received increases quite a bit. Because the puzzle allows some leeway for timing, several seconds can be spent between each move to ensure that it is the best possible move to make.
There is a general consensus among high ranking bilgers that extending a combo leads to a net loss of efficiency. For example, a 3x3 will not produce a gain if an extra turn is spent to make a 3x4. The gain in efficiency may be a half to a third of a move, but that is still a loss. Increasing a 3x3 to a bingo however is worth an additional 5 moves (8-3 moves). This is why the higher rank techniques are heavily focused on making bingo's and bigger combos.
When the water level is higher, crabs become a much more effective scoring tool. When the water level reaches the top (although the highest three rows will always remain dry), simply clearing crabs will score extremely well. Clearing two crabs in the same move (not consecutively which doesn't have a score multiplier) at full water scores somewhere between a bingo and a sea donkey. Efficiency is still necessary, but a few well-placed crab clears can easily lead to an incredible.
Blockade bilging
Blockade bilging is a variation of bilging played by puzzlers during a blockade, flotilla, or a Sea Monster Hunt. Some bilge pieces will have one of the following 8 bonus shapes added to the piece. Each shape corresponds with a particular token which the ship can use to perform a special maneuver. The bonus shape moves with and is destroyed with the bilge piece. If, at any time, the bonus pieces for the two halves (top and bottom) of a circle, diamond, plus, or ex are together, the bonus pieces (but not the bilge piece underneath) are removed and the puzzler contributes to filling the meter for that maneuver. On a sloop, it requires three bonus pieces to fill the meter.
It should be noted that tokens in bilge tend to spawn in waves. The pieces will all come up with the bottom halves of one token quite often, not giving any top pieces. One technique for tokening is leaving one or two of these halves on the side while continuing to work with the rest of the board waiting for the other half to spawn.
The primary problem with bilge tokens is that they are difficult to make them without a direct loss of efficiency from moves used solely to connect tokens. Add in the fact that low score slows or stops token appearance at all, and the issue becomes clear. If aiming for a specific token, the same saving technique mentioned above works well, but sometimes it is worth sacrificing the half piece in order to increase efficiency (in a bingo say). As long as efficiency is maintained, more token pieces will be generated and give other chances for creating the desired token.
