Introduction编辑
The ARTY module allows scenario designers to utilize AI and player-controlled Artillery in their scenarios. ARTY supports any properly configured unit and will support fixed or self propelled vehicles as artillery pieces. The framework supports rocket artillery such as the MLRS and Grad weapon systems, as well as the standard mortars and howitzers.
ARTY Quick Start编辑
Video Tutorial on a Artillery quick start can be found here: [1]
The Artillery Firing Interface编辑
If you just want to play around with the Artillery as a player, you can do so by doing the following. Set up a static Artillery vehicle (empty). Put an Artillery GameLogic on the map. Syncronize the Artillery GameLogic with the static weapon you placed. If this is not done, the Artillery module features may not run properly in a multiplayer mission. Finally, start the game and get into the Artillery.
In Arma 2: OA, syncronization is not required. All artillery units are synced automatically. To prevent the action showing up in a specific unit, use:
this setVariable ["ARTY_VEHICLE",false]
You will see an option to target the artillery in your action menu. Clicking this brings up the artillery firing interface map. Each fall line on the map shows the fall altitude of your shell (or mortar round) at a given elevation and azimuth.
Note that you will need to be using ARTY ammo for this to work. Load an ARTY Magazine in your vehicle if you do not have one loaded already.
Example init for a M252 mortar: {this removemagazines _x} foreach magazines this; this addMagazine "ARTY_8Rnd_81mmHE_M252"
Setting up a battery编辑
The first step to using the ARTY module with the AI is to set up a battery. You can have either a real battery or a virtual battery. For purposes of this tutorial we will use a real battery. The battery can consist of a group of any kind of artillery unit, but there are some simple ground rules that should be followed:
 - The battery must consist of the same kind of artillery unit. Note that you can have men in the group as well (such as drivers and gunners for the MLRS and Grad).
 - The battery should be crewed by AI. The fire mission execution scripts depend on the AI firing their artillery pieces in the correct sequence. This allows the scripts behind the Artillery System Logic to act like a virtual FDC, giving commands to the members of the battery just as a real FDC would in the field.
 - Self-propelled Artillery vehicles will need to stop to execute fire missions, so take this into account when making your missions.
Setting up a battery involves laying down a few artillery units in the editor and setting them up as a group. In order to "ARTY enable" this group, create an Artillery System game logic and Synchronize it to one of the units using the Synchronize (F5) function of the editor.
Creating an ARTY battery
Note that the Artillery System will consider the unit that is synced to to be the "lead" unit. What this means is that this unit's position will be considered to be the canonical position of the Artillery battery, and firing solutions will be calculated accordingly.
Creating fire missions编辑
Because there are numerous variables involved in setting up a fire mission, there is a type of array known as a fire mission template that is used to generalize specific types of fire missions. To set up a fire mission template, create an array consisting of the following elements, in respective order:
 - Mission Type: "IMMEDIATE" or "TIMED"
 - The IMMEDIATE mission type will complete after a requested number of rounds have been fired.
 - The TIMED mission type will complete after a specific number of seconds have elapsed.
 - Ordnance Type: This is a string indicating the general type of ordnance to fire. Ordnance types are defined either by default or by calling the BIS_ARTY_F_AddOrdnanceType function. For each type of artillery, there are one or more ordnance types. Common default ordnance types include:
 - "HE" - High Explosive
 - "WP" - White Phosphorous ("Willie Pete")
 - "SADARM" - Search and Destroy Armor
 - "LASER" - Laser guided artillery shell
 - "ILLUM" - Flares
 - "SMOKE" - Non-Incendiary Smoke
 - Rate of Fire: The delay, in seconds, between each shot. This delay will be applied globally throughout the entire battery. For example, if gun 1 fires, there will be a delay between that event and when gun 2 fires (and so on).
 - Duration of Mission OR Round Count: This depends on the mission type. This value is used as follows:
 - For IMMEDIATE missions, the number of rounds to fire.
 - For TIMED missions, the number of seconds to sustain fire.
For example: We want to define a fire mission template that has the battery firing 15 rounds of high explosive ammunition. To do this, we define the following template:
_heTemplate = ["IMMEDIATE", "HE", 0, 15];
Requesting Fire Support编辑
To use your new battery in a fire support role, you can call the BIS_ARTY_F_ExecuteTemplateMission function. In order to do this, you must first have a target. Target coordinates must always be given in 3d, with the Z component being the altitude above sea level. This is particularly critical if you are not using spawn mode, because otherwise the artillery will not be able to properly calculate a firing solution.
The easiest way to test this is to set a target vehicle or unit, and then use:
_targetPos = getPosASL _targetUnit;
Then call the fire mission in on the position by using:
[_myBattery, _targetPos, _heTemplate] call BIS_ARTY_F_ExecuteTemplateMission;
Depending on how far away you are from the battery and its initial orientation, you may have to wait a few moments for it to rotate into place. After this happens, you will hear the artillery firing on the target and soon see the shells hitting in the vicinity (or on top of) your target vehicle.
Also note that when calling any of ARTY's functions, the artillery logic itself counts as your "battery" variable.
ARTY Modes编辑
ARTY has two primary modes of operation: Spawn and non-Spawn. Both modes are useful in different instances.
Spawn Mode编辑
This is the simplest artillery mode and is based on the shell-spawning found in the original Warfare. In this mode, shells will spawn in the air above your target after their time of flight has elapsed. The Artillery battery will still calculate a firing solution so you will see a realistic flight time, but there is no risk of complications from your shells hitting terrain in front of the artillery battery or along the trajectory. You should use spawn mode in cases where the scenario requires that the artillery shells always impact their target and you do not want to worry about micromanaging the position of the artillery battery.
Turn on spawn mode by running the following SQF code, where _battery is your group of artillery pieces:
[_battery, true] call BIS_ARTY_F_SetShellSpawn;
Non-Spawn Mode编辑
In non-spawn mode, artillery shells will be shot at an elevation and azimuth appropriate to the firing solution and will then be allowed to fly to their target on their own. However, you must be careful using this mode as large terrain obstructions, such as mountains, will block the battery's fire. In addition, if you place your battery in a poor position (such as in front of a building or trees), disaster could occur. Since non-spawn mode is the more realistic of the two firing modes, care must be taken in battery deployment to ensure that you do not cause an accident. The ARTY system uses high-angle fires by default.
Non-Spawn mode is enabled by default, but it can be reactivated thusly:
[_battery, false] call BIS_ARTY_F_SetShellSpawn;
Virtual Artillery编辑
Artillery with Virtual Pieces
The virtual artillery feature is used to simulate an artillery battery somewhere on the map, but where none actually exists. To use virtual artillery, set up a battery as you usually would, but instead of an actual artillery piece, lay down a Virtual Artillery Piece gamelogic.
The virtual artillery piece will do everything that a real artillery piece does, without physically existing. It cannot be destroyed by the enemy and will not show up as an enemy vehicle on radar. The virtual artillery piece is primarily used in cases such as during a random Artillery Barrage secop request, where the battery is spawned somewhere on the map and there is no time to pick a suitable place for it.
Because of its "virtual" nature, the virtual artillery piece needs to simulate a specific real artillery piece. By default, it will simulate an M119, but you can change this with the BIS_ARTY_F_SetVirtualGun function. For instance, to set up a virtual D30, do the following on a piece of virtual artillery (in this case _virtualPiece):
[_virtualPiece, "D30"] call BIS_ARTY_F_SetVirtualGun;
The Secop Manager takes advantage of the virtual artillery system in cases where

went out ( go out )
When we first went out....
Here, the phrase 'went out' means dating, not moving to a particular place. When two people are 'going out' that means they are a couple and dating each other. Notice the following:
 1. How long have you two been going out?
 2. We've gone out for two months now.
She reciprocated
When you reciprocate something, that means you do something in return for something someone did for you. For example, if someone gives you a gift, you can reciprocate by giving them a gift back. Here are some samples:
 1. In Asia, if someone bows to you, you should reciprocate and bow back.
 2. She cooked me dinner last week, so I reciprocated by buying her lunch.
bring something up
That's funny you bring that up.
When you bring something up, that means you mention or talk about something for discussion. Here are some examples:
 1. The boss brought up the topic of the recent policy change.
 2. I never bring up serious issues at the dinner table.
making out (make out)
I see couples making out in public.
When two people'make out' that means they kiss for a long time. When people make out they are often sitting down and only kissing each other and not talking. Making out is something only young people usually do. Notice the following:
 1. The two teens were making out in the park. It was embarrassing.
 2. Have you made out with your new boyfriend yet?
Why don't you get a room?
This phrase 'Why don't you get a room?' is used as a joke to let two people ( or lovers ) know that their affection is obvious to other people and people feel a little uncomfortable and that they should 'get a room' so they can have some privacy.

The MPG64-A (Midi Pattern Generator 64 Alpha) is a free 64 step midi sequencer designed to run on Win 7, Windows Vista or XP with a minimum screen resolution of 1024×768.
In addition to playing midi notes, the MPG64-A is capable of simultaneously recording the resulting audio, creating loopable WAV files that can be used in any audio application. An 'Auto Set' feature can be used to automatically calculate and correct for latency of the midi device prior to recording, resulting in loopable samples. The 64 step pattern data can also be exported to a midi file.
The MPG64-A features a row of parameter knobs which can control the duration and velocity of each note, and can also be used to set values for two continuous controllers. A 'Controller Automation' feature uses preset patterns to modulate the continuous controllers to create filter sweeps and random 'sample and hold' type effects.
The MPG64-A is also designed to run as a plug-in for Tu2 by Bram Bos. If you are triggering synthesizer software on the same computer, you will need a midi 'loopback' (like loopMIDI) to route the midi data.

This graphic shows the order in which Oracle returns the rows for a query of a hierarchical tree. Beginning with the root row, Oracle returns one child row of the root, and then one child of that child row, and so forth until a leaf row (one without children) is encountered.
At this point, Oracle goes up in the hierarchy until the next row with a child row is found, and the Oracle returns that child, and so forth until the next leaf row is returned.
This process continues, with Oracle returning to the root row for the next child only when all of the "descendants" of the first child row have been returned.


text: Image stitching is a classical and crucial technique in computer vision, which aims to generate the image with a wide field of view. The traditional methods heavily depend on the feature detection and require that scene features be dense and evenly distributed in the image, leading to varying ghosting effects and poor robustness. Learning methods usually suffer from fixed view and input size limitations, showing a lack of generalization ability on other real datasets. In this paper, we propose an image stitching learning framework, which consists of a large-baseline deep homography module and an edge-preserved deformation module. First, we propose a large-baseline deep homography module to estimate the accurate projective transformation between the reference image and the target image in different scales of features. After that, an edge-preserved deformation module is designed to learn the deformation rules of image stitching from edge to content, eliminating the ghosting effects as much as possible. In particular, the proposed learning framework can stitch images of arbitrary views and input sizes, thus contribute to a supervised deep image stitching method with excellent generalization capability in other real images. Experimental results demonstrate that our homography module significantly outperforms the existing deep homography methods in the large baseline scenes. In image stitching, our method is superior to the existing learning method and shows competitive performance with state-of-the-art traditional methods.


text: The case-cohort design is most useful in analyzing time to failure in a large cohort in which failure is rare. Covariate information is collected from all failures and a representative sample of censored observations. Sampling is done without respect to time or disease status, and, therefore, the design is more flexible than a nested case-control design. Despite the efficiency of the methods, case-cohort designs are not often used because of perceived analytic complexity. In this article, we illustrate computation of a simple variance estimator and discuss model fitting techniques in SAS. Three different weighting methods are considered. Model fitting is demonstrated in an occupational exposure study of nickel refinery workers. The design is compared to a nested case-control design with respect to analysis and efficiency in a small simulation. In this example, case-cohort sampling from the full cohort was more efficient than using a comparable nested case-control design.

Construction continues on Caldecott Tunnel 4th bore
February 7, 2011 8:06:52 PM PST
For the past five months, crews have been carving out the fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel. The $420 million project is still two years from completion, but crews have been working around the clock and facing some very real dangers.
For every five feet the road header carves through the East Bay hills, a thick coat of shotcrete is sprayed on the walls, bolts are drilled in for support, and another six inches of shotcrete finishes the process. It is repeated 24 hours a day.
When it is finished, the Caldecott Tunnel's fourth bore will be 4,000 feet long. But each day, the miners only advance 10-15 feet, hauling out 1,500 tons of muck.
So far, they are almost one-third of the way through and every day poses new challenges. The site is considered a "gassy" tunnel, which means something as simple as the electrostatic spark from a cell phone could turn a pocket of methane gas into a deadly fireball.
"It's all about safety; i's not an easy job, it could be dangerous if you're not smart," project superintendent Bill Monahan said.
A process called "brassing in and out" is mandatory. Brass tags indentify who is "in" and who is "out" of the bore. In the early days of tunneling, brass was used because of its high melting point of 1,700 degrees.
"In the event there is a fire, that won't melt; it'll survive the fire and the identifying imprint will still exist," project engineer Bob Smythe said.
Methane gas is also poisonous, so giant ducts constantly blast air into the tunnel.
"So if there was a pocket of methane or poisonous gas, it would be diluted before it got to the sensors," Smythe said.
As the crew tunnels through the Orinda formation and into the Claremont formation, geologists expect to find larger pockets of gas and more dangerous rock formations.
"Along the slick and slides blocks can fall down, break out of the face, and that makes it dangerous for the miners," geologist Gerhard Neuhuber said.
Neuhuber is the geologist hired to oversee the construction company's geologist. Despite the redundancy in safety measures, they had a sobering moment last November, when a large chunk of shotcrete broke off and injured two miners.
"It was about five feet long, and probably six to eight inches thick and three foot in width," Monahan said.
"They were putting the second level on there and they jumped on it too quick, well it just hadn't cured," Smythe said.
You know, you have always have to take care when you work inside a tunnel because something can happen," Neuhuber said. "You never can measure everything."
With all of his geological technology, Neuhuber says he could not have predicted the temperature's effect on the quality of shotcrete and leaking mountain water that may have loosened the shotcrete before it could dry. It is just another dangerous unknown the crews face as they mine their way through the mountain.

High temperature resistant hose
It is also a kind of steam hose, which is mainly used to transport hot water with a temperature greater than 100 degrees and less than 180 degrees. We all know that the maximum temperature of water at a standard atmospheric pressure is 100 degrees, but if the pressure of the closed pipe is more than 100 degrees, the hose must be pressurized and temperature. The higher the pressure, the greater the pressure. High-temperature water-receiving hoses When selecting the type, the pressure of the hose must be taken into consideration to prevent the steam hose from rupturing or injuring the equipment due to too much pressure. It is preferable to use a threaded joint or a high pressure joint to ensure the safety of the hose.
High temperature resistant acid hose
Because the material of the steam hose is generally EPDM rubber or EPDM rubber, this rubber has good corrosion resistance, so the steam hose can also be used to transport various acids with high temperature, such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

lp0 on fire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
lp0 on fire (also known as Printer on Fire) is an outdated error message generated on some Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems in response to certain types of printer errors. lp0 is the Unix device handle for the first line printer, but the error can be displayed for any printer attached to a Unix or Linux system. It indicates a printer error that requires further investigation to diagnose, but not necessarily that it is on fire.
Printer flammability[edit]
In the late 1950s, high speed computerized printing was still a somewhat experimental field. The first documented fire-starting printer was a Stromberg-Carlson 5000 xerographic printer (similar to a modern laser printer, but with a CRT as the light source instead of a laser), installed around 1959 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and modified with an extended fusing oven to achieve a print speed of one page per second. In the event of a printing stall, and occasionally during normal operation, the fusing oven would heat paper to combustion. This fire risk was aggravated by the fact that if the printer continued to operate, it would essentially stoke the fire with fresh paper at high speed. However there is no evidence of the "lp0 on fire" message appearing in any software of the time.[1]
As the technology matured, most large printer installations were drum printers, a type of impact printer which could print an entire line of text at once through the use of a high speed rotary printing drum. It was thought[by whom?] that in the event of a severe jam, the friction of paper against the drum could ignite either the paper itself, or, in a dirty machine, the accumulated paper and ink dust in the mechanism. Whether this ever happened is not known; there are no reports of friction-related printer fires.
The line printer employed a series of status codes, specifically ready, online, and check. If the online status was set to "off" and the check status was set to "on," the operating system would interpret this as the printer running out of paper. However, if the online code was set to "on" and the check code was also set to "on", it meant that the printer still had paper, but was suffering an error (and may still be attempting to run). Due to the potentially hazardous conditions which could arise in early line printers, Unix displayed the message "on fire" to motivate any system operator viewing the message to go and check on the line printer immediately.[2]
In the early 1980s, Xerox created a prototype laser printer engine and provided units to various computer companies. To fuse the toner, the paper path passed a glowing wire. If paper jammed anywhere in the path, the sheet in the fuser caught fire. The prototype UNIX driver reported paper jams as "on fire." Later print engine models used a hot drum in place of the wire.
Phrase origins[edit]
Michael K. Johnson ("mkj" of Red Hat and Fedora fame) wrote the first Linux version of this error message in 1992,[3][4] however he as well as Herbert Rosmanith and Alan Cox (all Linux developers) have acknowledged that the phrase existed in Unix in different forms prior to his Linux printer implementation.[5][6]
Since then, the lp printer code has spread across all sorts of POSIX-compliant operating systems, which often still retain this legacy message.
Modern printer drivers and support have improved and hidden low-level error messages from users, so most Unix/Linux users today have never seen the "on fire" message. However, a few people still run into it today with varying levels of amusement or confusion.[7][8] The "on fire" message remains in the Linux source code as of version 6.0-rc3.[9]
The message is also present in other software modules, often to humorous effect. For example, in some kernels' CPU code, a CPU thermal failure could result in the message "CPU#0: Possible thermal failure (CPU on fire ?)"[10] and similar humor can be found in the phrase halt and catch fire.

pos: print debugging on steroids
pos, short for position, is a hyperlink based print debugging library designed to work with any IDE or text editor that supports stack trace highlighting. Using compile-time macros in Scala to extract file names and line numbers, pos makes your print statements, assertions, and log statements easier to locate. Use it to append a "smart" hyperlink to your sourcecode, avoiding the need to "grep" or use "Ctr + F" to locate print statements. Use pos instead of System.out.println or System.err.println. Also supports logging.

Locate Print Statements:
^ Clicking on the compile-time generated file name and line number will cause you to jump to that line in your source code.
Better than using println! Also, it is safe to pass in null.
Use "TraceLogging" instead of "StrictLogging". Click image to enlarge:
Or you can wrap your logger in a helper method like so to capture the compile time stack trace:
Or manually append the compile time stack trace as a String:
logger.warn("This is a warning" + pos())
This functionality "does not rely on runtime reflection or stack inspection, and is done at compile-time using macros. This means that it is both orders of magnitude faster than e.g. getting file-name and line-numbers using stack inspection, and also works on Scala.js where reflection and stack inspection can't be used." - taken from Li Haoyi's sourcecode
Add these two lines to your build.sbt file:
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("johnreed2","maven")
libraryDependencies += "com.github.johnreedlol" %% "pos" % "2.2.0"
To avoid having deprecated stuff, this library only works for Scala 2.10 and up.
pos is a stripped down version of scala-trace-debug.
Instructions (for IntelliJ IDE):
Add the appropriate dependency from Getting Started
Make sure that you have IntelliJ run configuration set up to run from the IntelliJ console
Run > Edit Configurations... > SBT Task
Click the green "+" (Add new configuration)
Place some calls to scala trace debug and click the green 'Debug' (Shift+F9) button and follow the stack traces in the console.
Use the IntelliJ console arrows to navigate up and down the stack traces.
The way this is intended to be used is, assuming you don't have a debugger set up, you just click on your code and press Command + Alt + Down on Mac or Ctr + Alt + Down on Non-Mac to scroll through the print statements in the order in which they are executed. This is a convenient way to trace the execution of your code.

Many hosts advertise 99.99% uptime or anything above 99.9%. Is 99.9% any different from 99.99%. Does it make a difference to anyone. The difference is only 0.09%, for crying out loud!! Well, there is a difference

 - A 99.99% uptime means 54.84 minutes of downtime a year.
 - A 99.9% uptime means a total of 6.91 hours of downtime a year.
 - A 99% uptime means 3.6 days of downtime a year!!
Web Hosting consumers need to seriously look at their Web Hosts uptime claims and compare the downtime they have faced with the figures above.
For a Web Host, does it take the same monitoring mechanism to sustain a 99.99% and a 99.90% uptime. Obviously not. But first a look at what is Uptime.
Uptime and downtime
Uptime is a measure of the time a computer system has been "up" and running. It came into use to describe the opposite of downtime, times when a system was non-operational.
Downtime refers to a period of time or a percentage of a timespan that a machine or system (usually a computer server) is offline or not functioning, usually as a result of either system failure (such as a crash) or routine maintenance. – Wikipedia
A Web Host has to actively monitor Downtime of all the services running on each Internet Servers. What services need to be monitored? An Internet server has services like Webservers, Email server, DNS, FTP, Control panel software, PHP and many other goodies. These services are assumed to be available 24/7. If a Web Host claims 99.99% uptime, all of the advertised services should be available 24/7 at 99.99% and available at promised speed.
Web Site owner and the Web Host can confirm that all these promises are being kept through Uptime Monitoring. This article deals with ways and means of measure uptime.
Uptime monitoring
Uptime monitoring is basically Downtime monitoring. Some Web Hosts confuse uptime monitoring with the number of days the server was up. This is not what we aim to measure here. In uptime monitoring, Web Hosts measure the number of times the services went down, for what duration and at what speed the services are available.
Are some people assuming that a good server will never have downtime ? On the contrary all kinds of downtime are not bad. Some are required for maintenance activities, like installing new services, configuring and optimizing. Maintenance related downtimes have to be carefully scheduled to reduce the impact on customers. For example if customers are mainly located in the United States, the Web Host can decide to conduct maintenance related activities after business hours.
Downtime caused by System failures on the other hand are the ones to be checked. System failure downtime can be the result of Overloaded servers, security attacks such as DOS attacks, poorly configured or outdated software. Web Hosts should take preventive measures to ensure that these problems are plugged as much as possible. And to ensure that downtime are detected early on, Web Hosts should use Network monitoring services or software.
Network Monitoring services
A Network Monitoring service will monitor one or more services on servers that are open to the Internet. A monitoring service will have servers around the world which checks your server or website in intervals of 1 minute to 1 hour.
When you sign on to a monitoring service, you need to check the locations they have hosted their monitoring software. Typically they will have at least one or two in each continent.
The most important aspect of a monitoring service is the Monitoring Intervals. Do they check every minute, every 5 minutes or every hour? If the interval is 1 hour, a service can go down for half hour and no one would be the wiser. The service wouldn't record it as a downtime. Obviously it makes sense to go for an Interval at least 5 minutes or lesser. The provider's charges go higher as the intervals go shorter.
Also check the methods through which they notify you. Do you receive alerts via email, IM and SMS. Choose a service that provides you your choice of communication. If you are on the road most of the time, a SMS alert would be more useful than an email alert.
Alertra.com is a good paid service. They let you receive downtime notifications on email, Instant messenger and SMS. They also have some good free trials to check out their service. _URL_ is a good free monitoring service. For intervals less than 5 minutes, they charge nominal fees.
Monitoring with software
Its also useful to use software which you can install on another server and remotely monitor your Internet servers. There are Commercial and Free options as usual.
Nagios is the best Open source software out there in my opinion. Its highly configurable to include unlimited servers and regular and custom ports.
Another good Open source software is Zabbix. It has some excellent graphic visualization, generally available only in commercial software.

Human touch – 3rd party server human" monitoring service providers
If you have colocated servers or unmanaged servers, your Datacenter will expect you to monitor the servers yourself. Even if you have signed on a Server monitoring service or installed a Monitoring software, the best these can do is to alert you. The best that a Server monitoring service or a Monitoring software can do is to alert you. You need to work and get the server or service running back on its feet again.
What if you are on vacation. In any case you need your 8 hours of undisturbed sleep right ? There are human monitoring service providers, who will either monitor your servers themselves, or work with your monitoring providers to Take action when an alert comes in.
Here is how it typically works. The human monitoring service provider gets an alert when any service goes down. If the server is still up and only one service is down, they will login to your server and bring up the service. In case the server itself has gone down, they will call your Datacenter on their emergency numbers and ask them to reboot your server. Basically they take over the coordination work which you would otherwise do yourself. And all this happens when you are fast asleep in your bed.
Bobcares.com is a leading provider in this business. They staff their facility 24/7. These services are provided either standalone or clubbed with other technical support services. Other companies are touchsupport.com and supportresort.com
Conclusion
Uptime monitoring is an important way of measuring your Web Hosting operations performance. A way to know if you are keeping your promise to your customers.

Gaps in the fossil record
From Iron Chariots Wiki
Revision as of 14:10, 11 September 2007 by Blue Lithium (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
The argument that there are gaps in the fossil record is used extremely commonly by apologists and is basically the same as saying that there are no transitional fossils. There are several large problems with this argument, however:
 1. When the The Origin of Species was first published the fossil record was very sparse and, thus, the amount of gaps it contained was very damning. However, as the years passed scientists found more and more fossils, thus decreasing the amount of gaps. Nowadays gaps do still exist, but in some places the gaps are very small and in some they're very large. It's not logical to state that the gaps that exist nowadays will never be filled.

Mother of Three and Widow of the Nation: The Hungarian Mrs Vachott (1828–96) as Protégé-Editor
 - Zsuzsa Török Research Centre for the Humanities, Institute for Literary Studies, Budapest
This article focuses on the editorial undertakings of the Hungarian Mária Csapó (1828–96), better known as Mrs Vachott. Using her personal correspondence, memoirs, and the magazines she edited, the article traces the particularities of Mrs Vachott's career as an author and periodical editor. It does so by examining her performed identities in real life and as editor of various magazines. Furthermore, it intends to demonstrate that Mrs Vachott's professional endeavours were defined and shaped by a personal loss that eventually became her strongest symbolic capital in building up a literary career. Finally, the article suggests that Mrs Vachott's case offers valuable insights into the types of editorial roles that women inhabited during the nineteenth century.

Salford Mennonite Church Peace Camp
Each summer Salford organizes a free week of Peace Camp for children from our church and local community. We meet Sunday through Thursday starting at 5:00 p.m.
Children who have completed kindergarten through fifth grade are invited to attend. At Peace Camp children practice peace with ourselves, peace with the earth, and peace with others. Christ's affirmation in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the Peacemakers", is the central theme for our week together.
Key objectives of the week are:
We conclude our time together with a program for parents and families on Thursday evening when the children share favorite experiences and what they have learned through the week.


confusion, we will ensure that the Jenkins warnings perfectly mirror the vulnerabilities of the official tool.
The easiest way of deriving some data from the audit JSON is relatively simple:
const issues = Object.values(auditJSON.vulnerabilities).map((vulnerability) => {
 return {
 fileName: vulnerability.name,
 type: vulnerability.fixAvailable ? 'autofixable' : 'non-autofixable',
 severity: warningsNGSeverity(vulnerability.severity)
 };
});
The only three properties that we specify are:
 1. fileName: which is the main name of a Jenkins warning. It will be unique as each of the vulnerabilities is representing a distinct package.
 2. type: in the previous version, we were specifying the resolution type, i.e., whether it's an update, a review, or some other action. As in this action, we don't have such detailed information, we are just specifying if it's possible to fix the issue automatically.
 1. severity: this is the only thing that didn't change from the previous version.
Then I started to think about whether we can extract some more info and group vulnerabilities in reasonable categories. In the previous version, we were grouping by the "category" of the advisory ("Insufficient Entropy," "Prototype Pollution," etc.). I thought that we could traverse the via property for each vulnerability until we reach leaves and extract this information. But it's not uncommon to have multiple advisories leaves of a single vulnerability. Thus we may end up with the categories like "A", "B", "C", "A+B", "A+C",… and this won't be truly helpful. In the same way, we could group vulnerabilities by the top-level dependency packages, but again a single vulnerability can have multiple of those. Thus I simply don't get how one should reason about vulnerabilities based on how they are modeled.
Ultimately I decided to do a workaround and group the vulnerabilities (with packageName) by the fact whether they are advisories or just derivatives. To do this, I had to check if there are objects in the via property (as opposed to having only package names). Then for advisory vulnerabilities, we can contact all the types and use that as a message, while we can also put the concatenated URLs into the description. This way, one can filter out just advisories and look up what exactly is going on. Here is the final script:
const issues = Object.values(auditJSON.vulnerabilities).map((vulnerability) => {
 const advisories = vulnerability.via.filter((item) => typeof item === 'object');
 const isAdvisory = advisories.length > 0;
 return {
 fileName: vulnerability.name,
 packageName: isAdvisory ? 'advisory' : 'derived',
 type: vulnerability.fixAvailable ? 'autofixable' : 'non-autofixable',
 message: isAdvisory ? advisories.map((adv) => adv.title).join(' and ') : '',
 description: isAdvisory ? 'See: ${advisories.map((adv) => adv.url).join(' and ')}' : '',
 severity: warningsNGSeverity(vulnerability.severity)
 };
});
This solution is far from being perfect, but it's still usable. You can go to the issues stored in Jenkins, select the advisory ones, see which are auto-fixable, check their severity, read more about their class, or follow up to the official web page.

Conclusion
You know, I could say that this new audit format is ok. And that they wrote about a breaking change on their blog. And that you can still figure out which packages in your repo have security vulnerabilities and why. And also that this is a fresh version, and they can still tweak things a bit in the future.
But I won't do that. The new auditing functionality sucks. And here are a few points that summarise all the issues with it:
 1. It's not clear what they are doing. They made a big change without explaining it, and I had to reverse-engineer their concepts and the resulting formats.
 2. The approach "all the dependent packages are vulnerable" overwhelms an average user with not-so-important data. The dependency tree has its own set of important features. Still, when used as a core model of a vulnerability report, it detracts focus from vulnerable packages and brings dependency confusion.
 3. The multi-root multi-leaf graph makes it hard to reason about the vulnerabilities. In the past, one could reason: "there are these advisories that apply to my project, and I have that set of actions to perform with my dependencies." With the new model, you are just drowning in a high number of vulnerabilities and hoping that a magical auto-fix will aid you.
 4. There is fewer accompanying data. Of course, in the past, the audit provided many unpopular details, such as the advisory author's name. However, some details could be used to immediately understand how a certain vulnerability manifests or when it was discovered. Now you have to follow the provided link to look up all the details.
 5. You need to type-check the obtained JSON. Do you remember the via array? When you want to extract some useful data, you have to check if an element is a string or an object. In my experience, such code/data models are mostly written by students or junior developers and don't convey much confidence.
In the end, I'm left with a simple question: why? Why, oh, why did you do this, NPM developers? The previous model was much more elaborate. The real-life entities were clearly modeled as dedicated advisories or actions. There was no type-checking upon data consumption. And ultimately, the number of boxes from the output matched with the number of vulnerabilities in summary.
I get an impression that a long time ago, enlightened sirs and ladies implemented the previous version; the new version, however, was overridden by a bunch of monkeys.
Sorry, I know that my previous sentence is offending, but it's based on all the 3.5+ thousand words that came priorly in this post.

It seems that if an instance is scaled via its properties dialog, the scaling factor does not get correctly accounted for in the area calculation tool(s). A simple example is creating a 10x10 box and making it into a cell, 'test', the computed layer area function returns 100. If the cell 'test' is then scaled by 2 in the properties dialog, when the layer area is checked, it still comes back as 100. This is also true if one descends into the scaled cell 'test', selects the box and computes the area of the selected shapes, it will still come back as 100. It only correctly calculates it if the cell is flattened. Is this the only way to correctly calculate the area of instances which are scaled?

Relationship between positive-negative affect and performance in a golf competition
The first objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between positive and negative affect at three phases of a golf competition and performance in the competition. The second objective was to investigate the relationship between changes in positive and negative affect during the competition and performance in the competition. Thirty golfers who belonged to university golf clubs participated. The golfers answered the PANAS questionnaire immediately prior to the competition, immediately after the first half 9 holes, and immediately after the latter half 9 holes of the competition. Their performance in the competition was calculated by the mean score of the last 10 rounds of golf minus the score of the competition. Correlation coefficient showed that the performance in the first half 9 holes was significantly related to the positive affect immediately after the first 9 holes (r =.38), and the negative affect immediately after the first 9 holes (r =-.35). In addition, the correlation coefficient between the increased positive affect in the first 9 holes and the performance in the first half 9 holes (r =.46) and that between the increased negative affect in the first 9 holes and the performance in the first half 9 holes (r =-.38) was significant. These findings indicated that the positive and negative affect during a golf competition changed depending on the golfers' performance in the competition.

What is the difference between video and grabación? In other words, what types of "videos" does each describe? Which of the two would best describe a video recorded using a home video recorder or digital camera?
To me, there's mostly a one to one relation between vídeo in Spanish and video in English, and between grabación and recording.
That said, video can also mean video cassette recorder, or video cassette.
They are similar, but are used in different ways:
Usually translates to just 'video', though it has other meanings.
It can be translated to recording, and it means:
So they have similar meanings, but for vídeo the most common is the concept of a video, and for grabación it's the act of recording a vídeo.
A 'grabación' is best used for non-professional video recording. 'Vídeos' is used for any kind of visual media, usually for short formats.
If you refer to a short format like a youtube video or a video taken with the phone you will say 'vídeo'. But we usually say 'vídeo' if the video is in VHS or BETA format. Those video magnetic cases are named 'vídeos'.
Here you have some examples that I might help you...

Principal Issues: 1. Who can claim a share of the qualifying expenditures incurred for common areas of a strata where there is a change in ownership of the strata unit during the HRTC eligibility period - the previous owner or the current owner?
2. How are the qualifying expenditures allocated between the previous owner and the current owner of the unit, if a unit changes its owners during the HRTC eligibility period?
Position: 1. Both, the previous owner who sold the unit and the current owner who bought the unit, may claim their share of the qualifying expenditures incurred by the strata council while they were the owner of the strata unit, providing all of the HRTC requirements are otherwise met.
2. Generally, the qualifying expenditures incurred for common areas are allocated to strata unit owners based on the governing documents and/or special resolutions of the strata corporation.

Effect of tree leaf N status and N application time on yield and fruit N partitioning of mango
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient in mango (Mangifera indica L.), but research on N fertilizer uptake and partitioning in mango is lacking. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of timing of N fertilizer application on yield and N allocation in leaves and fruits on mango trees ('Kensington Pride') with variable leaf N dry matter concentrations. Nitrogen was applied (200 g tree-1) using 15N-labelled urea (2.1 atom% excess 15N) either at postharvest or pre-flowering on trees with low (1.0%N) and high (1.2%N) leaf N status. Results showed that %N derived from fertilizer (%Ndff) was greater in high-leaf-N trees when N was applied during postharvest, but did not differ significantly when applied at pre-flowering. Leaf N status of mango trees and timing of N application had no marked influence on total number of fruits, total fruit weight, or weight of fruit. However, yield efficiency (total fruit yield divided by trunk cross-sectional area) in trees with high leaf N status was higher than those trees with low leaf N status, yet did not differ for timing of N application. Total N uptake was higher in the flesh of the fruit from low-N trees than in high-leaf-N trees. The %Ndff did not differ in the skin, flesh or seed of mango. However, %Ndff was significantly higher in fruits from trees with low leaf N status and when N was applied at pre-flowering. Results indicate that N allocation in the leaves and mango fruit differ depending on leaf N status of trees and timing of N application.

Should you visit Cuenca or Temuco?
Which city should you visit? Read on to compare the prices of travel for Cuenca and Temuco. We'll break down costs for accommodation, food, transportation and more to help you learn more about these two destinations. Then, you can figure out if either of these two places are accessible based on your travel budget. So, let's dig into it.
Cuenca is a vibrant colonial city in southern Ecuador, the third largest in the country, and the capital of Azuay Province. Cuenca is considered as Ecuador's most important and beautiful colonial city after Quito. Dating from the 16th century, Cuenca's historic center, a Unesco World Heritage Site with its trademark skyline of massive rotundas and soaring steeples, is a magical sight in which you will feel like you are moving back in time. Cuenca is the center of many craft traditions, including ceramics, metalwork and the internationally famous panama hat. The nearby villages also offer many other handicrafts. Tourists enjoy wandering the ancient streets discovering picturesque alleys and hidden corners, where nuns march along cobblestone streets and kids in Catholic-school uniforms skip past historic churches. Fascinating historic monuments and fabulous views are found at every turn. Cuenca also has outstanding art museums and festivals. For a rewarding cultural experience, visit during Easter to attend the Festival of Religious Music.
Temuco is a large and modern city found 680 km south of Santiago. While the city is dynamic, it does not have any particular charm with the exception of being a great point of departure for many excursions around the lake region and the many national parks found in the surrounding area. Temuco is also well known for its Mapuche culture, a proud and rebellious community of around 20 000 in the area today, who has fought continuously against every invaders in the past.
Which city is cheaper, Temuco or Cuenca?
These are the overall average travel costs for the two destinations.
The average daily cost (per person) in Cuenca is $34, while the average daily cost in Temuco is $81. These costs include accommodation (assuming double occupancy, so the traveler is sharing the room), food, transportation, and entertainment. While every person is different, these costs are an average of past travelers in each city. Below is a breakdown of travel costs for Cuenca and Temuco in more detail.
Accommodation prices vary by location and style, but travelers pay on average about $20 for a double occupancy room in Cuenca.
For a normal double-occupancy room in Temuco, $90 is the average cost for a hotel room. Also in Temuco, the typical price for a place to stay for one person is $45, such as in a hostel.
Food in Cuenca costs travelers about $12 per day on average. Restaurants can vary significantly in price, so choose wisely if you're trying to save money. Fast food and street stalls are typically your cheapest options, which sit down restaurants can be significantly more expensive.
The price of a meal in Temuco can vary widely. However, the average price for food per day is $23 per person, and a typical meal will cost around $9.20 based on the spending of previous visitors. Less expensive dining options can be found by eating street food or at fast food restaurants.

While the amount that someone spends on alcohol while visiting Cuenca may vary from person to person, on average a person spends $11 per day on alcoholic beverages.
Alcoholic beverages can often be a significant portion of a traveler's budget, and the costs can vary greatly from person to person. In Temuco, the average amount that a visitor spends on alcoholic beverages per day is $5.24.
When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Cuenca and Temuco, we can see that Temuco is more expensive. And not only is Cuenca much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. So, traveling to Cuenca would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Cuenca and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities. The same level of travel in Temuco would naturally cost you much more money, so you would probably want to keep your budget a little tighter in Temuco than you might in Cuenca.

Send Monitoring Alerts To Microsoft Teams
When you have a large monitoring setup you need to know when something important is failing or is just offline. If you have setup Microsoft Teams you can send a message to a channel to let the support team repair the service or device with minimal down time.
I have set this up in Labtech to send alerts to the alerts channel. Labtech has the nice ability to inject data in a powershell script before it is run, but we will be demonstrating the script by running it directly in powershell.
First step is to create a webhook in the MS Teams channel you wish to use. At the time of writing you can only create a webhook from the web version of MS Teams, it will not work in the desktop client.
Open the connectors in the channel you want to use for your alerts.
Open the connectors for the channel
Find the "Incoming Webhook" and add it.
Add the Incoming Webhook
Next we need to name the connector and assign an avatar, these settings will change how the sender of the message appears in the channel. I recommend setting the name to the service that will send the messages, and the image to the systems icon or something that is attention grabbing.
Set the name and image the webhook will use when posting.
Once done you will get a url, save a copy of the URL as it is important to the next step.
Copy the Webhook URL for your connector
The next step is to copy the following script, you can also download it from here
# Powershell MS Teams alert template
# This is a template to demonstrate the ability to send notices to
# Microsoft Teams from PowerShell
# Parse the command variables
param (
 [string]$message = "This is a test of the alert system",
 [string]$title = "Test Message",
 [string]$status = "Cleared",
 [string]$monitor = "Testing - monitor",
 [string]$location = "Downtown",
 [string]$system = "labsys01"
# Edit the URI with the webhook url that was provided
$uri = '';
# Build the message Body
$body = ConvertTo-Json -Depth 4 @{
 title = $title
 text =''
 sections = @(
 activityText = $message
 facts = @(
 name = 'Status'
 value = $status
 name = 'System Name'
 value = $system
 name = 'Monitor'
 value = $monitor
 name = 'Location'
 value = $location
_TAG_ the message to MS Teams
Invoke-RestMethod -uri $uri -Method Post -body $body -ContentType 'application/json';
Write-Output "INFO - Message has been sent.";
You will need to edit the $uri line to have the URL that was provided in the Webhook creation step.

Plenty of researchers are anxious to find that suburbia makes us fat, but those of us who grew up running around and climbing trees in big backyards might be more likely to appreciate how certain aspects of suburban living actually encourage healthy living:
- SOUTH Australian children with big backyards are less likely to be overweight and inactive than those with small courtyards, a study has found.
Preliminary data from the Flinders University Achieving a Healthy Home Environment study, which surveyed the homes and lifestyles of 280 southern suburbs families, found the size and set-up of homes contributed largely to how fit and healthy young children were.
Researchers looked at more than 75 physical and nutritional variables in each family home over the past year.
"We found the bigger the backyard, the more active the kids," said Flinders Medical Centre consultant pediatrician Dr Nicola Spurrier, who headed the study that will continue until next year.
"But we also found the amount of play equipment and play areas in a back yard had a big impact too."
Researchers also uncovered other rather obvious points: active parents are more likely to have active kids; healthy kids are more likely to have parents who limit their TV-watching and stick healthy food in the fridge.

How can I tell whether I should be using Dentro vs. Adentro? I've read that they both mean 'inside' and looked at some examples, but I still can't always figure out which one to use. Are there any good rules to learn the difference, or examples that illustrate this difference particularly well? Also, is the word 'en' sometimes used to mean 'inside' as well?
¿Como puedo saber si debería usar Dentro vs. Adentro? He leído que ambos significan 'inside' y visto algunos ejemplos, pero no siempre tengo claro cual usar. ¿Existen algunas buenas reglas para aprender la diferencia, o ejemplos que ilustren esta diferencia especialmente bien? Además, ¿la palabra 'en' también se usa a veces para decir 'inside'?

Nice question!! – Alfredo Osorio Dec 7 '11 at 2:27
Tambien vease un ejemplo given by Javi en mi pregunta – Tomas Jan 5 '12 at 23:42

Both dentro and adentro mean "inside" but the latter is used with verbs of movement. For example:
 1. Nos fuimos adentro. —> (The verb "ir" means "to go"; movement);
 2. El perro está dentro del coche. —> (no movement involved).
You can see the official reference here for dentro and for adentro.
As it is said in the articles, in some parts of America, sometimes "adentro" is used when "dentro" should have been adopted.
"En" can also be used in the same way as "in" is used in English, so you can use "en" (but "dentro" emphasizes it more)
El perro está en el coche.

Ah. Es similar a "dónde" y "adónde", ¿no? – user682 Apr 25 '12 at 4:18
_USER_ Sí. Lo mismo pasa con "fuera" y "afuera". – Javi Apr 25 '12 at 8:29
Both are adverbs of location and both can be translated as inside, the difference is that dentro is used to express in the interior, inside and adentro goes with verbs indicating movement and it is used to express towards the interior. Some examples:
Dentro de mi corazón (inside my heart).
Lo llevé hacia adentro (I took it inside).
share|improve this answer
Is it safe to say it's the same as the difference between in/inside and into? – Flimzy Dec 7 '11 at 2:12
_USER_: I'd say yes at least in the cases I could think of, but I am not a native English speaker, so I wouldn't put my hand in the fire for that "yes". – Gonzalo Medina Dec 7 '11 at 3:28
Can't you also say "Estoy aquí adentro"? – jrdioko Dec 7 '11 at 17:29
_USER_: yes; adentro sometimes is also used as en la parte interior (in the interior), but this use is common in certain regions of Latin America. – Gonzalo Medina Dec 7 '11 at 17:34
In addition to the excellent answers given let me point out that dentro can also be used to denote the end of a period of time as seen from present: llámame dentro de quince minutos. Which is roughly the same as llámame en quince minutos, while there is no such exception for adentro which is always location/movement-based.
share|improve this answer
"Dentro" should only be used in the prepositional phrase (frase prepositiva) "dentro de":
La guitarra está dentro de su funda.
(The guitar is inside its case.)
On the other hand, "adentro" should only be used as a standalone adverb:
La guitarra está adentro.
(The guitar is inside.)
In short: "Dentro de " means "inside of ", while "adentro" means simply "inside".
share|improve this answer
In addition to the other answers: dentro implies inside in relation to a specific place (stated after the preposition "de" or by context).
El niño está dentro de la casa.
Mi estuche está dentro de la sala.
At least in Chile, adentro de is very uncommon, this "dentro de"/"adentro de" comparison also shows it.
By the way, the rules for dentro/adentro can be used for fuera/afuera.

While Jupiter is retrograde, we tend to re-think our goals and plans in the areas of life affected by Jupiter's transit. It's a time of questioning what we thought we already knew and developing a new perspective on events and beliefs.
Recognizing areas of excess or extravagance can help us. We may need to slow down specific endeavors if they've been moving too quickly, or this happens organically. Some enthusiasm may wane as certain realities of time and energy set in.
Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Jupiter will move forward more straightforwardly. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds. Our faith and perspective expand, although as this shift occurs now, problems can seem larger than life.
This direct turn can feel refreshing.

Pyrolysis Plant planned in Carmarthenshire – REFUSED!
* UPDATE – Great news! In February 2016 the planning application was refused and the permit application was withdrawn! *
(This article will remain for information purposes)
A pyrolysis plant is proposed and undergoing the planning application process for the lovely village of Cwmgwili just off the A48 in between Pont Abraham services and Cross Hands. This will have an adverse effect on the plentiful wildlife, nearby farms and woodlands (some classed as ancient) in the area and residents are very concerned over the potential pollution including noise and health implications of having this plant in their neighbourhood.
It will also have a massive impact on the road infrastructure, as it is claimed that over 150,000 tonnes of waste will need to be imported into the area each year to effectively run the plant. As anyone who travels to the west of our beautiful country knows, these roads are already heavily burdened by travellers and holidaymakers.
Pyrolysis plants process waste by incinerating and converting the energy created into gas. The industry claim they are safe and the incinerator is a sealed unit so there is little pollution. However residents who live near pants in other countries have reported much environmental impact including noise and smells, and more worryingly a marked increase in health problems including cancer. Environmental groups have claimed harmful dioxins are released into the environment during the pyrolysis process and the environmental impacts, including the increase of heavy traffic to and from the plant, will negate any positive environmental gain from energy created. There are many questions and concerns raised to the safety and efficacy of these plants and our country is effectively being used as a guinea pig.
Please look at the following link for more information. If you, too, are concerned please show your support by adding your objection to the planning application, signing the e-petition and maybe even become involved with the campaign which has support from many political figures. Also please spread the word! Thank you for your time in reading this.

Corktown Historic District
Corktown Historic District
Bagley Street in Corktown
|Architectural style:||Colonial Revival, Late Victorian, Federal|
|Added to NRHP:||July 31, 1978|
Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, although the city of Detroit is twice as old. The current boundaries of the current district include I-75 to the north, the Lodge Freeway to the east, Bagley and Porter streets to the south, and Rosa Parks Boulevard (12th Street) to the west. The neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The Corktown Historic District is largely residential, although some commercial properties along Michigan Avenue are included in the district.
The roots of Corktown lie in the Great Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. The Irish immigrated to the United States in droves, and by the middle of the 19th century, they were the largest ethnic group settling in Detroit. Many of these newcomers settled on the west side of the city; they were primarily from County Cork, and thus the neighborhood came to be known as Corktown. By the early 1850s, half of the population of the 8th Ward (which contained Corktown) were of Irish descent. Historically, the neighborhood was roughly bounded by Third Street to the east, Grand River Avenue to the north, 12th Street to the west, and Jefferson Avenue/Detroit River to the south.
By the Civil War, German immigrants had begun making inroads into the Corktown neighborhood. By the turn of the century, the original Irish population had diffused through the city, and other immigrants, notably Mexican and Maltese, moved in. As the century progressed, southern migrants in the U.S. lured by the jobs in the automobile industry followed suit.
The residential section is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a City of Detroit Historic District. The neighborhood contains many newer homes and retains some original Irish businesses.
The original buildings in Corktown are Federal-style detached homes and rowhouses built by Irish settlers. A worker's row house circa 1840 is located on Sixth Street and is one of the oldest existing structures in the city of Detroit. In further years, modestly sized Victorian townhouses with Italianate, Gothic, and Queen Anne elements were constructed.

I have a video file of 5 FPS / 8000Hz that I want to speed up 6 times. I want the pitch and playback to increase - can I do this by simply adjusting the file header?
I can't seem to figure out the right parameters to do this with ffmpeg since it actually creates new frames in order to stay at the same speed. I read some similar topics on this website, but can't seem to find anything simple to do with both sound and image.
Is there a way to do this with a command-line tool or can someone explain how to alter this in code?

mencoder has an option to change the speed. A similar question was answered here.

Water Cats
Water cats in this context means cats that like water. Yes, some cats actively like water. That applies to some wild cat species, domestic cat breeds and many individual cats. It is simply not the case that cats hate water; that is far from the truth.
A lot of wild cats live next to water courses because prey is more abundant prey there. And a good number of domestic cats, usually wildcat hybrids like water. For example, Kathrin Stucki of A1 Savannahs says that her Savannah cats like to join family members in the shower etc. That said your typical domestic cat generally does not have much of an affinity for water.
But they rarely hate it. Three wild cat species swim in it, hunt in it and like it: the tiger, jaguar and fishing cat.
The domestic cats that come immediately to mind that like water are the Savannah and Bengal, both wildcat hybrids and, of course, the Turkish Van(known to be a good swimmer, the experts say) to name just three. The Turkish Van comes from the lake Van area of Turkey. Did it learn to swim in the lake?
Tigers often spend large parts of the day in water, half submerged, to keep cool. The tiger is a remarkably strong and competent swimmer (and all round athlete). It has been recorded swimming to islands in the Sunda Straight (between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra). This is open sea and considerable distances are travelled.
The fishing cat, as the name implies, is at home in the water and can swim for long distances in water and under water. They keep their head above water when swimming and propel themslves forward doggy paddle style. The fishing cat catches fish as well as animals on land. They are true water cats.
The jaguar is associated with water courses and streams in a wide range of habitats. They are excellent swimmers and have been recorded swimming across wide rivers. They also like to spend time in the water half submerged when it is hot.
Jaguarudis love water (ref: Hand-raising jaguarundis (puma yagouaroundi) by Buzas and Guylas FCF magazine vol 56, issue 2). Observed to love to be in water from aged 5 weeks. Played in drinking bowl. Defecated in bowl.
Apparently, there are (or were) rumors that leopards don't like water to the point of not getting their feet wet. This is incorrect as they are good swimmers and enjoy the water. They are very adaptable cats and what is called "generalists" meaning they can cope with a wide range of environments and don't mind what they eat.
The Asian leopard cat is the wild parent of the Bengal cat and I have already said that Bengal cats like water so it is no surprise that the leopard cat likes it too, even moreso. In fact, they are excellent swimmers and have an affinity for water and an ease in it (many a Bengal cat keeper will attest that). Captive leopard cats can be seen to spend a considerable amount of time playing in water.
We don't really think of a lion swimming across rivers. We normally see them on pretty arid and hot plains. Yet the lion is a capable swimmer and they have been observed swimming across large rivers.
Finally, the flat-headed cat is a fishing type cat like the fishing cat. A large part of its diet is composed of fish. The distribution of the flat-headed cat linked to water.

 1. I think Harvey Harrison will take issue over the Turkish Van claims! It turns out that cat fancy Turkish Vans don't come from the Lake Van area. I've summarised info from Harvey and other publications in the bottom thrid of the Turksih Angora story at _URL_
 The original Turkish Van swimming images were staged.

Definition - What does Acomoclitic mean?
Acomoclitic is a term for a person who prefers bare or hairless genitals. Acomoclitics may look for hairless genitals in a partner, remove the hair from their own genitals, or both.
Acomocliticism is the opposite of pubephilia where people become aroused by the feel or sight of human public hair.
In the naturist community, where acomocliticism is common, an acomoclitic may be known as a smoothie.
Kinkly explains Acomoclitic
Acomoclitics may spend an excessive amount of time thinking about hairless genitals and have recurring fantasies surrounding this part of the anatomy. They may also exclusively choose partners who remove their genital hair. Acomoclitics typically enjoy both the look and feel of hairless genitals. Many acomoclitics also feel that hairless genitals are more hygienic.
Acomoclitics may remove their pubic hair using razors, hot waxes, or sugaring methods. Some acomoclitic couples find hair removal arousing and make this part of their foreplay.
While hairless genitals are often associated with prepubescent individuals, most acomoclitics insist they do not have a preference for very young partners. Instead, many feel that adults who remove their public hair appear more confident after taking control of their own bodies.
Acomocliticism may be simply defined as a preference like that for curvy women or tattooed men. In other cases, it is a clear fetish. Acomocliticism does not generally require treatment unless it begins to interfere with an individual's day-to-day life. Psychoanalysis, hypnosis, and behavioral and cognitive therapies are some methods for effectively treating acomocliticism.
