Arkansas Department of Ed Provides Statewide Access to STEM Activities
- By Dian Schaffhauser
Students in Arkansas will have access to a Web-based tool to help them master math and science. The Arkansas Department of Education will be providing access to Penda Learning, a Web-based standards mastery resource for students in grades 4 through 10.
Penda uses avatars and competitions to engage students as they work through multiple activities, which are standards-aligned. Instructors can take advantage of the service's reporting features, which can report data by grade level, class, and student. That data can be imported by gradebooks and can show time spent on a given task as well as the activities and standards mastered.
"[Science, technology, engineering, and math] education is a key state priority and we are always on the lookout for innovative and proven STEM tools for the students of Arkansas," said Jim Boardman, an assistant commissioner with Arkansas' DOE Division of Research and Technology. "By giving our students access to Penda's engaging and standards-aligned math and science activities, we are supplementing our classroom teaching and helping teachers improve student proficiency."
Dian Schaffhauser is a writer who covers technology and business for a number of publications. Contact her at _EMAIL_.


text: An active omnidirectional vision owns the advantages of the wide field of view (FOV) imaging, resulting in an entire 3D environment scene, which is promising in the field of robot navigation. However, the existing omnidirectional vision sensors based on line laser can measure points only located on the optical plane of the line laser beam, resulting in the low-resolution reconstruction. Whereas, to improve resolution, some other omnidirectional vision sensors with the capability of projecting 2D encode pattern from projector and curved mirror. However, the astigmatism property of curve mirror causes the low-accuracy reconstruction. To solve the above problems, a rotating polygon scanning mirror is used to scan the object in the vertical direction so that an entire profile of the observed scene can be obtained at high accuracy, without of astigmatism phenomenon. Then, the proposed method is calibrated by a conventional 2D checkerboard plate. The experimental results show that the measurement error of the 3D omnidirectional sensor is approximately 1 mm. Moreover, the reconstruction of objects with different shapes based on the developed sensor is also verified.

The short answer is that the speed of sound is the fastest the air can get out of its own way, so if you try to move air faster, it builds up and gets out of the way at the fastest speed it can: the speed of sound.
Slightly longer: An airplane (or anything else moving through air) is continuously disturbing the air all around it - building a pressure profile - and this disturbance propagates and creates itself at the speed of sound. When the airplane reaches the speed of sound, the air in front of it can no longer get away from the plane to build that pressure profile because to do that, it would have to move faster than the speed of sound. So it piles-up at the leading edge and propagates away along a straight line, who'se angle is determined by the speed of the object vs the speed of sound. That's the shock wave.

How many standard drinks can you have before driving if you are under 20 years old? How many standard drinks can you have before driving if you are under 20 years old?
 - A. One
 - B. Two
 - C. Three
 - D. None
 The correct answer is D
 The legal limit is 0 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood. A drink consumed before driving will almost certainly put you over this limit. So you must not drink just before driving if you are under 20 years old as there is a zero alcohol limit.
How to calculate if you are over the legal drink driving limit
You cannot calculate your blood alcohol level because it depends on a large number of variables such as your age, weight, gender, general health and fitness, the amount of alcohol you've drunk, the type of alcohol you've drunk, and whether you've eaten (how much and how recently).
A small drink could put you over the limit. If you're stopped and your breath alcohol reading is between 30-150mcg per litre of breath you could be fined and given 50 demerit points. That means you are half way to being disqualified. You will receive a notice from NZTA that you have accumulated 50 demerit points and if this total exceeds 100 within a 2-year period you will be disqualified.
If you are caught with more than 150mcg of alcohol per litre of blood then you could be fined up to $2250 and sent to prison for up to 3 months and be disqualified from driving for at least 3 months, plus you'll still get 50 demerit points. If you are disqualified you may be able to apply for a special licence with zero alcohol or an alcohol interlock requirement.
If you blow over the limit you may be asked to provide an evidential blood or breath test. It is an offence to refuse consent.
Younger drivers tend to have less ability to cope with alcohol intake. Add to that their lack of experience and you can understand why the risk of having an accident is increased dramatically.

text: In this paper, a new algorithm based on Meshless Local Petrov-Galerking (MLPG) method is presented for analyzing the crack dynamic propagation. A new modified Moving Least Squares approximation is proposed to simplify the treatment of essential boundary conditions. Explicit central difference with lumped mass matrix is adopted for the time integral. Visibility criterion with crack edge node adding technique and the maximum hoop stress criterion are used to describe the crack propagation and forecast the crack propagation direction. Based on this algorithm, three-point bend specimen for impact fracture test is investigated. Comparing the results with those obtained by the laser caustic method and high-speed photographs, the accuracy of the present algorithm is proved.

Economics Research Institute Study Paper
Utah State University Department of Economics
Careful studies of the distribution of income in nineteenth-century United States have been hampered by a paucity of available data. This study undertakes the analysis of factors influencing the distribution of personal income in communities in the Great Basin region of the western United States for the years 1860-61 and 1870. The study utilizes estimates of full income by individual based on information contained in the General Economic Records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, demographic and economic data from the manuscript censuses of 1860 and 1870, and other relevant data from contemporary sources. Mean income and Gini ratios are calculated for nearly all Great Basin communities, and econometric analysis is undertaken to identify the impact on income distribution of changes in mean income, community size, crop destruction by grasshoppers, and the percentage of the population born in non-English speaking countries. The econometric results are compared to the results of an earlier study that looked at factors influencing income inequality for the Great Basin as a whole over the period _PHONE_. Of particular interest is the impact of ethnic mix on relative income inequality. While the earlier study found that Gini ratios for the Great Basin region rose as the fraction of the population born in non-English speaking countries increased, the current study finds that Gini ratios first rose, then fell as the percentage of the community born in non-English speaking countries rose. At the territorial level, grasshopper infestation increased relative inequality, but at the community level it decreased inequality. The completion of the transcontinental railroad allowed a few individuals in urban communities to earn large incomes in capital-intensive activities, increasing community income inequality, ceteris paribus, but community access to the railroad had a leveling effect on labor income and product prices, reducing community income inequality.

Ok, so I the organization I am working for has a sharepoint database that multiple people update every time they do an inspection of natural resources on a parcel in the county. This database has the following fields:
*Parcel Number
*Date
*Notes
*Inspector
*Action
I have created a feature class with a centroid with these attributes placed in each parcel that has been inspected.
Is there a way to dynamically link the sharepoint database to the geodatabase so that when they go in and change/add anything to the notes section it actively changes (and adds new points to newly listed parcels) the attributes in the featureclass? If this isn't entirely clear, let me know! THANKS!
IF NOT: This layer only needs to be updated monthly. I am able to export it to a excel or csv file. Is there a quick way to create the centroids layer from this table? THANKS AGAIN!
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
Take a look at Query Layers.
 - Load your parcel boundary layer into ArcMap
 - Pull the information you require from your back-end Sharepoint into a stand-alone table in ArcMap (including the ID field that joins it to the Parcel)
 - Make a join between from the parcel layer to the query layer.
 - I believe that this link should now be dynamic and will pull the data directly from the db behind Sharepoint.
Any attributes within the fields that you have pulled in from Sharepoint that get changed at the SP end, these should flow through to your MXD.
A less dynamic approach would be suck the data you want out of Sharepoint, into an XLS, and load the XLS into your MXD and then join your parcel layer to that.
You have not given any background into the bigger picture on what you are trying to achieve. You may want to take a look at ArcGIS for Sharepoint.
I might be missing something, but I do not see the need to calculate centroids everytime. Do the parcel boundaries change from month to month?

Regulating groundwater levels in Schönebeck
Evaluating possible measures of regulating groundwater levels in Schönebeck.
When changes to a city's drinking water supply are made without regard for possible repercussions, it can have widespread, negative impacts on the entire urban area. However, with knowledgeable groundwater management and regulation measures, it is possible to prevent many subsequent and unsuitable issues such as flooding and degradation of water quality. The town of Schönebeck in Germany experienced various challenges with regard to their groundwater, including increasing water levels, causing water logging and urban flooding. DHI-WASY was contracted by University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal to find the best possible measure of regulating groundwater levels. Using detailed analyses, they found dewatering wells to be the best possible solution to the town's challenges.

Plant Inspection Training
TWI offers plant inspector training courses at three competency levels, in modular format, for a clearly defined and structured career path. Each level leads to an internationally recognised CSWIP qualification.
Resources of successful plant operators can be stretched when faced with unforeseen problems or when time-investment is required for long-term planning. TWI plant inspector training courses prepare engineers for these pressures by teaching them how to identify the most cost-effective practical solution using state-of-the-art assessment tools and techniques.
This internationally recognised CSWIP plant inspector certification scheme responds to the critical need of industry to ensure that engineers involved in asset integrity management are suitably qualified to deliver optimised plant inspection and assessment.
CSWIP Plant Inspector - Level 1
CSWIP Plant Inspector - Levels 2/3
These plant inspection courses are designed for plant engineers, welding/NDT inspectors/practitioners, materials and corrosion engineers, and plant inspectors responsible for managing the safety and integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.
The scheme will suit personnel working for manufacturing works (Vendor), inspection organisations, equipment owners and operators, classification societies, insurance companies and safety regulators. The training has three goals:
to ensure inspectors and engineers responsible for assessing plant integrity have the essential tools and skills
to recognise and certify plant inspector competence
to provide a structured career path for continuing professional development of plant integrity practitioners through formal training/certification

The authors analyzed commercially available data from five New Jersey communities to categorize food outlets based on the North American Industry Classification Codes. The authors integrated information from the databases with Internet searches and phone calls to refine the categorization of food outlets listed in the databases.
- There were substantial differences between the commercial food outlet database classifications and the researchers' revised database classifications.
- The reclassification found that there were three times as many convenience stores than indicated in the commercial database; one-seventh the number of supermarkets and grocery stores; and twice as many limited-service restaurants.
This research suggests that commercial food outlet databases provide a substantially healthier picture of community food sources than actually exists. The methodologies described may create a replicable approach to tailoring information from commercial databases for public health purposes.

Research activities of the United States Bureau of Mines related to using diesel equipment in underground coal mines were discussed. Interacting parameters that influence the use of diesel engines underground were summarized. These include Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration regulations that specify the mine ventilation requirements needed to obtain an acceptable air quality based on actual emissions from a specific diesel engine, pollutant concentrations from the engine and its control system when new and after use, and methods for controlling emissions. The Bureau of Mines' research program emphasized five functional areas that investigate the interactive parameters: emissions control, emissions characterization, field studies, instrumentation and monitoring, and noise. Emission control research emphasized evaluating existing and prototype control systems such as catalytic converters, scrubbers, alternative fuels, new engines, and external combustion engines. Emissions characterization research has emphasized developing reliable analytical procedures for sulfur oxides and polynuclear aromatics, laboratory evaluations of candidate diesel engines, and field studies. Field study research was directed toward developing effective sampling techniques for exhaust emissions, evaluating prototype air sampling instruments, and studying the effects of dispersion and dilution on pollutant concentrations. Instrumentation and monitoring research has focused on developing hand held instruments for determining air quality, personal dosimeters, instruments for use on vehicles, and area air quality monitoring instruments. Noise research has emphasized identifying noise sources and developing methods to control these sources. A transcript of a question and answer session was included.

Sahera Khan is Muslim, Deaf and British South Asian, her native language is British Sign Language. She lives in London and is a freelance writer/creator, artist/actress, filmmaker and YouTuber.
Sahera's first breakthrough professional performance was at the Victoria and Albert Museum in a pop-up performance The Fruit and Vegetable Olympics in Spring 2019. She is a member of 1623 Theatre Company and is a trustee and Media Relations Officer for the Deaf Ethnic Women's Association, supporting D/deaf Ethnic women and girls to achieve better quality of life, rights, education and employment. She also does occasional support work with D/deaf children.
We talk to Sahera about her journey into the creative industries, how the creative sector can be more accessible and how her faith influences her creative practice.
You have a multiplicity of creative skills including writing, acting and filmmaking. How did you develop a career in the creative sector?
My creativity was learnt through education, as I joined short courses to develop my writing which then went onto writing my own stories which I thoroughly enjoy. I wrote nine kindle books and my short film 'He Stood Me Up' for BSL Zone and was commissioned. This then led me into acting and filmmaking, which I had developed through short courses and workshops. This experience built my confidence and my creative skills, however, I am still learning and attending some courses, workshops and researching information.
As a Muslim, Deaf and British South Asian woman, how does your identity affect your creative practice?
My identity is very important such as my religion and being deaf, of course there are some barriers being deaf within my creative practice. Such as accessing hearing creative industries. For example I need British Sign Language Interpreter, it is also rare to find Muslim roles for the stage or screen.
Your native language is British Sign Language, do you feel the arts and cultural sector accommodate people who are deaf or does more need to be done in terms of access and inclusion?
Yes and no. It really depends on whether organisations can offer access and inclusion including paying for BSL Interpreters. I feel it is important everyone is included; diversity should be both accessible and inclusive in the creative sector.
How does your faith as a Muslim influence your creative practice?
My faith is important to me, my writing, acting and videos relate to my faith. I have written and performed a short play 'Am I Dulhan Yet?' and I adapted a storytelling piece 'The Cockerel and the Fox' which explore my identity through faith. My faith influences me to allow creativity in my stories and experience.
What do you enjoy most, writing, acting and filmmaking and why?
I enjoy acting the most, because when I was young I always want to be actor. As I matured and understood the entertainment industry and arts cultural sector better, I realised it could relate to my faith. I like to read the scripts, filmed, meeting new people and I liked to see my face on a variation of screens.
You recently premiered your new show No Words, No Safety about Deaf and Disabled women's safety. What do you hope the audience gains from the show?
I hope the audience understood that my work as a BSL performer was relevant to recent events taken place in the United Kingdom. I hope it impacted women about their safety and to escape from dangerous situations such as domestic violence.
What is the most memorable moment of your career so far?
My most memorable moment of my career was 'Throwaways' (on stage) from Lambert Jackson production. It was an amazing and high profile production with performers from the West End.
As a volunteer trustee and Media Relations Officer for the Deaf Ethnic Women's Association, you support D/deaf Ethnic women and girls to achieve better quality of life, rights, education and employment. Why is this important to you?
Deaf Ethnic Women's Association (DEWA) is a campaign to support deaf women and their rights, it is important to me to support DEWA and supporting women. This is a very unique organisation and rare. Through my support, I have also learnt about DEWA and receive regular updates and training, including how we support, how to apply for grants. Through my role, I have learnt about different issues such as forced marriage, mental health and isolation.
What does the future of Islamic arts and culture look like to you? What are the opportunities and potential?
Inshallah, I would like to see more Muslim creative's in arts and culture; theatres, TV and films, also to stop the negative portrayal of Muslims on film. I would like to see Deaf Muslim artists and hearing Muslim artist's integrate and also encourage hearing artists to learn British Sign Language and Deaf Awareness. Finally, potentially create a platform for Muslim Creative's Directory over the world for opportunities to network and more.

Moon Maid (comic)
Moon Maid
Publication information
Publisher Tribune Media Services
Created by Chester Gould
Moon Maid was a major character at one period in the Dick Tracy comic strip, then drawn by its creator, Chester Gould.
Gould, hoping to keep the strip evolving and changing with the times, slowly began changing the focus of the strip from a crime drama into one whose primary focus was science fiction. Tracy had always been equipped with the latest, most up-to-date police equipment, including forensic science, but with the introduction into the strip of eccentric industrialist Diet Smith as Tracy's friend in the 1940s, Tracy began to have the assistance of devices such as the two-way wrist radio, and later the two-way wrist TV.
The logical extension of this in Gould's mind was the introduction of space travel. Smith invented the magnetic-powered Space Coupe. With the use of this vehicle, Tracy and company landed on the moon in 1964, finding there an advanced race of humanoids whose high technology meshed remarkably well with that of Smith's. The Moon race looked like Caucasian humans except for having abnormally large eyes and giraffe-like horns on their foreheads.
 Fictional character biography
Moon Maid was the daughter of the Moon's supreme ruler, a male humanoid who was always identified as "the Governor of the Moon". It is not clear whether he was democratically elected, or some form of hereditary ruler. She served as a liaison between her race and the humans. She and her family became one of the strip's primary focuses for several years.
Moon Maid eventually married Junior, the now-adult adopted son of Dick Tracy. Her father the Governor resented this marriage. Eventually, Moon Maid became pregnant by Junior. Her father was anxious that the child be born on the Moon, so as to be legally a Moon denizen. An extremely contrived plot twist put the pregnant Moon Maid, Junior, Dick Tracy and the Governor all aboard a Space Coupe when Moon Maid gave birth at precisely the midpoint in space between Earth and the Moon.
The child, a girl, was named Honey Tracy and had slightly over-large eyes, and two prominent tufts of hair on her forehead in the position corresponding to Moon Maid's horns; we are never told what lies beneath those tufts. The daughter also demonstrated a magnetic ability to attract small metal objects to her hands; this talent never played an important role in the strip.
During this period, Dick Tracy himself had many adventures on the Moon, notably solving a murder case involving a man named Purdy Fallar who kept two of his fingernails extra-long, claiming they were for harvesting the meat of giant Escargot: a race of gigantic Moon snails, prized on Earth as delicacies. In reality he used his sharpened fingernails as throat-slashing weapons.
When the impending 1969 NASA moon landing threatened to make the preceding Moon stories look silly, Gould chose to return to the material that made the Dick Tracy strip famous—Earth-bound crime. The strip made one oblique reference to the Apollo 11 landing shortly after its completion, with Diet Smith commenting about some "equipment left behind" on the Moon (in a caption above a panel showing the abandoned Lunar Module).
 Later years
After Apollo 11, Moon Maid and Honey continued to remain on Earth, as wife and daughter of Junior; all references to their selenic origin were phased out, with Honey never demonstrating her magnetic talents, and Moon Maid identified solely as "Junior's wife". Both characters continued to appear sporadically, in greatly reduced roles. Soon after Rick Fletcher and Max Collins took over the strip in 1978, Moon Maid was murdered accidentally by a man named Little Littel who was trying to kill Tracy with a car bomb while trying to collect on a million dollar open contract on Tracy's head by elderly crime lord "Big Boy" Caprice. Little would later be killed himself in an explosion when Junior Tracy goes to his shop looking for revenge on his wife's murder.
Although Honey Tracy survived—now apparently retconned to be totally human—it was understood that this moment represented the termination of the strip's Moon years.

Input Data and Validation of ASP Project on School Registration System
- All the fields such as Schools, Registrations, Classes are validated and does not take invalid values
- Each form for Schools, Teachers, Students can not accept blank value fields
- Avoiding errors in data
- Controlling amount of input


another if statement, but it also incorporates the previous if statement. This isn't crucial here, but it'd be important if, for example, you had one if statement looking for "anything less than 10" and another looking for "anything greater than 5." The values 5 through 9 would trigger both if statements, which could be a problem if they have conflicting actions. Here, else if is saying "if the previous if statement wasn't met, check if x equals 5." Finally, the else tells R that if neither of the previous if statements were met, follow this action.
In point #2, we use x == 5 because that notation asks R if the statement is true or false. If we wrote x = 5, we'd be assigning the value 5 to x, which causes an error within the if statement. You can use the logical operators <, >, <=, >=, ==, |, &, and ! to ask R if a statement is true.
 x == 4 # "x equals 4, true or false?"
 x != 4 # "x does not equal 4, true or false?"
 x > mega.multiply(10, 4) # "x is greater than the output of this function, true or
 # false?"
 x < 4 | x > 2 # "x is less than 4 OR x is greater than 2, true or false?"
 x < 4 & x > 2 # "x is less than 4 AND x is greater than 2, true or
 # false?"
__________________________________________________________________
Integrating function, if, and for loops
In the previous blog post, we talked about for loops and random walks. Much like a frustrating cumulative exam in school, let's incorporate everything we've learned to answer a tougher question: how do we write a function that finds the median?
No, using R's built-in median function won't cut it in this tutorial. Let's write our own. (median does, however, serve as a nice check to see whether our function is doing what we think it is.)
As a brief review of summary statistics, when we have a set of numbers, we often want a description of the "average" value of the set, or what we would expect if we drew a random value. Common descriptors are the mean, median, and mode. The median is the value that divides the set such that half of the values are below the median, and half are above. The median doesn't care about the actual values in the set; it will just find the middle-ranked one. It's therefore insensitive to outliers that would otherwise wreck the output from the mean. (If Bill Gates was visiting a high school classroom, the mean income of the people in the classroom would be millions of dollars, while the median would correctly be closer to zero.)
There are a few steps to finding the median. Let's write them here to clarify the plan of attack. We start with a set of values. Then:
1 - Sort the values from lowest to highest

2a - If there are an odd number of values, the middle value (where half the values lie below this point and half the values lie above) is the median
2b - If there are an even number of values, find the middle two values. Take their mean. This value is the median.
This is how the above would look like in R:
 med <- function(x){
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 1){ # "If the number of values is odd"
 return(sort(x)[length(x) / 2 + 1/2]) }
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 0){ # "If the number of values is even"
 return(mean(sort(x)[c(length(x) / 2, length(x) / 2 + 1)])) }
 }
 A more detailed explanation:
 med <- function(x){ # med will be a function that takes one input
 # Number of values is odd
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 1){ # If the length of the input, divided by 2, leaves a
 # remainder of 1
 return( # Return whatever will result from inside these
 # parentheses
 sort(x)[ # Sort the values of x from lowest to highest and
 # find the value that...
 length(x)/2 + 1/2])} # ...is 1/2 + the length of the input divided by 2 (i.e.
 # the middle)
 # Number of values is even
 if(length(x) %% 2 == 0){ # If the length of the input, divided by 2, leaves a
 # remainder of 0
 return(mean( # Return the mean of...
 sort(x)[c(length(x) / 2, # ...the sorted values of x, specifically the
 # "low" middle value...
 length(x)/2 + 1)]))} #... and the "high" middle value
Combining all that with a for loop
Nice work! Finally, let's create a one-dimensional random walk that uses if statements and our median function. Let's say we want to impose boundaries on our random walk such that if it wanders too far from the origin, we restart it at the median of the walk so far.
 # Set the parameters
 n.steps <- 1e5 # 100,000 steps (1.0 x 10^5)
 mean.step <- 0 # The random walk is unbiased (no preference up or
 # down)
 sd.step <-0.5 # The standard deviation of step sizes (steps are drawn
 # from a normal distribution)
 up.boundary <- 50 # The upper boundary of our walk
 down.boundary <- -50 # The lower boundary
 # Prepare variables
 walk <- 0 # Start the walk at zero
 shifts <- c() # Create an empty variable to note when the walk hits
 # boundary
 # The random walk
 for(i in 2:n.steps){
 # First, take a step
 walk[i] <- walk[i-1] + rnorm(1, mean.step, sd.step)
 # If the walk went above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary...
 if(walk[i] > up.boundary | walk[i] < down.boundary){
 walk[i] <- med(walk) # The walk resets at the median value of the
 # walk up to this point
 shifts[i] <- i # We also note the step at which this occurred
 }
 print(i) # Tell us what iteration of the walk we're on
 }
 # Plot it
 plot(walk, type = 'l', main = "A supervised random walk", las = 1, xlab =
 "Time", ylab = "Position", cex.main = 1.8, cex.lab = 1.4, font.lab = 2, col =
 "gray40")
 abline(v = shifts, col = "blue")
 par(font = 2)
 legend("topleft", lty = 1, col = "blue", legend = "Shifts", cex = 0.8)
Thanks for reading. In the next post, we'll cover the apply functions, which are very powerful methods for performing many calculations at once and efficiently analyzing matrices and data frames.
 Cheers,

Perhaps you have found yourself in the situation that for whatever reason you have changed your phone number or lost / abandoned it, in those situations what the operator does is release that number and hand it over to another person, a person who will be surprised when installing the famous WhatsApp instant messaging application if the previous one forgot to delete his account (having access to the previous user's account).
WhatsApp accounts are linked to a phone number, neither to a person, nor to an email or to a physical device, this brings a huge comfort benefit by confirming with an SMS the activation of the account and forgetting about registrations and passwords and so on, but it also means a potential privacy risk since anyone who has that phone number can get all the data linked to it.
To prevent a person from acquiring your WhatsApp when they get your phone number, today we are going to show you how disable and remove completely Your WhatsApp account in a few simple steps.
What does it mean to delete your WhatsApp account?
- The link between your phone number and your personal WhatsApp data (profile picture, status, chats, multimedia files …) will be removed.
- Your registered payment method will be deleted from WhatsApp servers.
- Copies of your chats hosted on both your iOS device and iCloud will be deleted.
- The number will be free for a new WhatsApp registration.
It is recommended make a backup of your iOS device locally on your PC or MAC, deleting your WhatsApp account will also delete the automatic backup of the chats in iCloud and if we ever want to reactivate our account and keep our files we will have to apply that manual backup.
Steps to follow
We locate the WhatsApp app installed on our iOS device and open it (applicable on Android).
We go to the Settings section within the application and enter the "Account" section.
In the "Account" section, click on the "Delete my account" option.
Enter our phone number to confirm the deletion and once finished we delete the application from our device (to effectively erase all data that is stored locally).
With these simple steps our account will have been deleted satisfactorily and the next person who acquires your current phone number can register as a new WhatsApp user, without retaining any conversation, photo or personal data of its previous owner.
This situation is applicable to oneself., that is, if at any time we want to reactivate our account we will do it as if we were new users, we must register with our phone number and activate the account via SMS to start again or recover all the data from the previous backup.

Pipe elbow is a common feature in pipelines and piping systems as a means to changing directions of otherwise straight pipelines. Irrespective of the processes involved in manufacturing pipe elbows, it is of interest to investigate whether they have any geometric imperfections. Researchers at the University of Alberta have devised a technique to measure initial imperfection of straight pipes prior to testing, using high resolution 3D surface profiler in conjunction with 3D reverse engineering software. The objective of the current study is to extend the imperfections measurement technique from measuring straight pipe segments to pipe elbows. Six (6) ninety (90) degree elbows are measured in this research with outside diameters ranging from NPS 12 inch to NPS 42 inch. A 3D laser scanner is used to acquire surface data and create 3D models corresponding to each elbow. A method for the geometric analysis of the elbows is developed using 3D inspection and reverse engineering software Geomagic®. The geometric idealization of a pipe elbow is a torus, which can be defined by a circle revolving around an axis, coplanar with the circle. The idealized geometry for each elbow is obtained through the developed method of geometric analysis, which includes the diameter of the circle defining the torus, and its distance from the axis of revolution. The difference between the ideal torus and the scanned geometry is considered as imperfection of each pipe elbow. The wall thickness values at the ends or edges of select pipe elbows are also measured from the scanned data and are reported as percentage deviation from the specified wall thickness around the perimeter at different cross sections. The 3D reverse engineering of the elbows indicated that they resemble the ideal geometry very closely. The ovalization imperfections are seen to be well within the value specified by CSA Z662-11. The wall thickness deviations are seen to vary between −10% to +25% of the specified value, with increased thickness being more prominent in the elbows. Finite element analysis of an elbow with thickness imperfection shows that higher hoop stress appears on the intrados than initially intended.

Localized charge bifurcation in the coupled quantum dots
We analyzed theoretically localized charge relaxation in a double quantum dot (QD) system coupled with continuous spectrum states in the presence of localized electrons Coulomb interaction in a single QD. We have found that for a wide range of system parameters charge relaxation occurs through two stable regimes with significantly different relaxation rates. A peculiar time moment exists in the system at which rapid switching between stable regimes takes place. We consider this phenomenon to be applicable for creation of active elements in nano-electronics based on the fast transition effect between two stable states.

Country of Origin: USSR
3-D: 2.5 x 1.3 x 2.5cm (1 x 1/2 x 1 in.)
Pins or znachki have a long and established Russian tradition. During the 19th century, workers received these pins as a reward for work done. It was during the Soviet period that the emphasis on the use of znachki shifted from rewarding work done to acting as souvenirs of national celebrations. By the late 1960s, schoolchildren began to collect and exchange the pins with foreigners. Today, space-themed znachki are popular among collectors worldwide. People of all ages wear the pins to celebrate and acknowledge anniversaries, programs and individuals of the space program.
This pin is one of a set of nine pins that honors the heritage of science, astronomy and space exploration by identifying nine leading scientists in the field throughout history. This pin features Albert Einstein.
Found in collection. Donor unknown at this time. Found on NASM premises.


What is a Homemade Bong
Homemade Bong Introduction
At the core, this is a smoking device, built at home, with the intention to function like a water bong, usually because there is no other way to smoke the herbs you have laying around. The funny thing is, most of the devices created could be considered homemade pipes if you want to get technical because often, water is not involved, likely out of convenience because making an official homemade binger is not always easy.
How to make a Homemade Bong
This is a question that cannot be answered with one single answer. That is because of the nature of this product – it is homemade and does not come with directions, although you can find some on the internet, ultimately it is just about working with what you have. This type of binger is where you get McGyver-like and hopefully construct something that can be used as a bong or at least a poor excuse of a pipe. Just make sure you have a mouthpiece, a place to pack and light the herb, plus some sort of tube or space for smoke to travel through.
Common Supplies for a Homemade Bong Idea
 - Plastic bottles in different sizes and shapes
 - Various Fruits & Vegetables
 - Aluminum Cans
 - Tubes of pens & markers
Cool Homemade Bongs
How to make a homemade gravity bong
The simplest and most effective homemade bong to construct is a homemade gravity bong.
1. Step
Get two plastic soda bottles. A two-liter bottle and a one-liter bottle work best.
2. Step
Cut the bottom off the smaller bottle, and cut the top off the larger bottle. Do not cut too much, you can always cut more. You will want to leave most of the larger bottle since it will be responsible for holding the water (in a similar process, you can fill a sink, a bucket or anything else to instead hold the water). Just be sure to leave enough of the small bottle because that is where the smoke builds up, similar to the interior of a glass bong. The more space in the bottle the more smoke that can build and the easier it is to operate. You really just need to cut the very bottom off of the small bottle.
3. Step
Now, take the cap from the small bottle and bore a hole in it. It may be easiest to splice an "X" in the cap first with a steak knife. You are going to cover that cap with aluminum foil, forming a bowl towards the interior of the cap – this cap will be screwed back on the bottle so be aware of which side is which. With the tin foil in place, finally, you will pop tiny holes in the foil bowl with a paper clip or a pin, even a thumbtack.
4. Step
There is a reason you are making the bowl inside the cap! Don't think you can do a shortcut and just put the foil over the top of the bottle opening. You can, but there are optimal ways to do things and with this is one way – with it the cap can be screwed back on the bottle to create a tight seal.
5. Step
You will want to make sure the foil is also secure around the cap so you can get suction. We don't recommend using any adhesive for a better seal, you're really just trying to McGyver something quick here.
6. Step
When all is cut properly, next, fill the two-liter, larger bottle with water. Again, in place of this 2 liter bottle you can use a large pot, a bucket, a sink, whatever you can fill with water.
7. Step
Now finally, load that homemade bowl piece! SLOWLY submerge the smaller bottle into the water but stop below the neck and mouthpiece part of the bottle. The further submerged the bottle, the more smoke that you will be able to bring into the makeshift bong.
8. Step
Once submerged, light the bowl, then SLOWLY pull your "pipe" out of the water. You will watch it fill with white smoke as you do. The pressure created by pulling the bottle upward will pull in air from the outside, as if you were taking a hit, but the pressure does it for you and the smoke comes into the bottle and stores in between the mouthpiece and water.
9. Step
When that bottle pipe is filled with smoke, screw that bowl off quickly (don't have it fully screwed on to begin with) and push the bottle back down inside the water just as you took it out. Again, pressure is at work here, except it is the opposite effect and it will push the smoke outward through the mouthpiece because of the incoming water. While pushing down, make sure to cover the bottle opening with your mouth and that is where the "bong" hit is taken.
You're sure to get a powerful hit, so keep that in mind when operating!
How to make a Soda Can Bong
This works just fine, even if people think it's so terribly ghetto or cracky looking. It's the quintessential homemade bong if you can even call it that. All you need to do is get a can and crush it right.
1. Step
Make the indentation in the center of the can simply by pushing down. Attempt to form a bit of a bowl formation, but don't go crazy – aluminum cans are super sharp when broken down.
2. Step
Next, on one of the indentation slopes, towards the center of the bowl formation, poke tiny holes with something – a thumbtack is really optimal for this, at least I have found.
3. Step
Now the aluminum pipe is made and all you do is place your herbal remedy over the holes and spark up. With this legendary soda pop can bong, you actually will get a huge hit, albeit a little harsh – if you bend the can right you can get a little water on the one side to create somewhat of a homemade bubbler.
How to make a Toilet Paper Roll Bong
This often is referred to as the most ghetto of all pipes in a pinch. In fact, it is effective at delivering a powerful, albeit harsh hit. The pipe is easily assembled with common items available most anyplace you might wish you had a bowl pipe, but do not. In fact it might be preferable to a clogged glass or metal pipe.
1. Step
Simply find a toilet paper roll. Make a cat happy if the roll full so that it doesn't go to waste. You'll need all the paper removed from the roll.
2. Step
Next, cut a little square out of the top of that toilet paper roll. This is where the homemade bowl piece will be placed so keep that in mind.
3. Step
You are going to take that trusty aluminum foil and form a bowl piece. Put it in the cut square and simply take a paper clip or pin and poke holes in the new found metal bowl – by the way, if you have a salt shaker head, that also can work, but it is not always an option.
Finally, tape that aluminum foil bowl piece into place on the roll, right into the little square that was cut out. Take care not to set anything on fire – including the roll – when you take your hit. All you do is put one end of the roll to your mouth and your hand over the other end. Next, take a puff as you would with any other smoking pipe or bong. When you want to clear the hit out, just remove your hand and pull.
How to make a Potato Bong
One often cultivated, rarely celebrated homemade bong is a potato. It's really quite simple, and the potato gets baked along with you.
1. Step
Hollow out the potato and bring out the inner sculptor. Simply create a hole at the top and another on the opposite side - you're trying to mimic the average glass pipe design here. Tunnel down from the top, but make sure it's a skinny tunnel. You don't want your buds falling inside of the potato. If that happens, add cheese, bacon and pop it in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
2. Step
Next, place the herbs over the top of one hole, as if that hole is the bowl piece in the Roor bong you don't have. The hole on the other side acts as the mouthpiece and the tunnel between the two is well, that is where the smoke travels through. Once you have that built out just light up and get to it like Bob, no tin foil necessary.
Most people prefer to apply this same concept to an apple, which may taste better. But remember, you have to work with what you have and sometimes you may only have a potato.


When dealing with data that's returned from an API you don't always have control over the exact structure which can make it a bit of a challenge to add types to that data with TypeScript to improve the developer experience. I have recently run into this issue when hooking up the Juju Dashboard to a new API endpoint that sends deltas every time there is a change in the users environment.
The deltas are sent in the format [DeltaEntity, DeltaType, Delta], or more specifically [["application", "change", {...}], ["machine", "remove", {...}],...]. The structure of the Delta portion of this tuple is determined by the combination of the DeltaEntity and DeltaType so when dealing with this data you first need to run a conditional over those type values to determine what to do with the Delta. In order to type these we can use a Type Predicate or a Discriminated Union. Ultimately I landed on using a discriminated union but I'll run through both approaches here.
Using a Type Predicate
Define the type for the whole delta tuple.
type AllWatcherDelta = [DeltaEntity, DeltaType, Delta];
Define the possible values for the entity and type using a union. Yes, even the type predicate approach uses unions as a component of the typing approach. You also want to define the type for each delta type.
type DeltaEntity = "application" | "charm" | "unit";
type DeltaType = "change" | "remove";
interface UnitChangeDelta {
 name: string;
 ports: string[];
Now we need to create a function that will be used as the predicate in a conditional to determine what the data type is while working on the delta values. These functions will take, at a minimum, the data that you want to define the type for and any additional data you need to determine that type. It must then return a boolean value, if true then change in this function will be of type UnitChangeDelta, otherwise not.
function isUnitChangeDelta(
 delta: AllWatcherDelta,
 change: Delta
): change is UnitChangeDelta {
 return delta[0] === "unit" && delta[1] === "change";
Using this approach you would then have a string of conditionals checking for the appropriate type and within, would be of the expected type. In this example delta[2], the actual delta in our tuple will now be properly typed within the conditional as a UnitChangeDelta.
if (isUnitChangeDelta(delta, delta[2])) {
Using Discriminated Unions
Define all possible tuples of DeltaEntity, DeltaType, and Delta as a discriminated union.
type AllWatcherDelta =
 | ["unit", "change", UnitChangeDelta]
 | ["machine", "change", MachineChangeDelta]
 | ["application", "remove", ApplicationRemoveDelta];
Now when using the delta you need to check the values of each predicate manually and TypeScript will correctly type the data. Here I've used a switch statement but you could use any type of conditional.
switch (delta[0]) {
 case "unit":
 switch (delta[1]) {
 case "change":
Using only a Discriminated Union is great when you have a known set of data that you need to type. As the size or complexity of that data set increases you might want to evaluate using a Type Predicate as you can execute whatever code you need to determine the type including introspepction into the data itself if you needed to use a canary in the object as the flag.
If either of these approaches don't quite get you there you can also look into adding Generics into the mix but that'll have to wait for another time.
No matter the approach you take, having properly typed dynamic data dramatically reduces a certain set of errors and increases the productivity of the developer consuming that data so I feel it's worth the investment.
Thanks for reading!
A significant portion of my day to day activities are based around code reviews and helping debug issues with other developers. When doing this I will usually open up all of the files that have changed between the current branch and master so that I can get an understanding of the problem as a whole. After a decade of doing this I finally got sick of doing it manually…There must be a better way! I wanted to check out a branch and open all of the changed files in vscode automatically. After a bit of poking around I found the git diff flag --name-only which returns the list of changed files. The command ended up like the following:
code -n. 'git --no-pager diff --name-only master'
Command breakdown
code -n.
Opens up a new window of vscode with the current project folder open in the 'explorer' section.
git --no-pager
disables the pager that git uses by default in zsh (you may not need this flag)
--name-only master
displays a list of files that have changed from master.
Now the next logical step is to make this a bash command and add some customization. Below I've defined the command as a function with the ability to define an argument for the branch name and another to filter the list of files. I've found the filter to be especially useful when trying to avoid things like test metadata and lock file updates.
# vscodedevsync [branch] [filter regex]
function vscodedevsync() {
 code -n. 'git --no-pager diff --name-only ${1:-master} | grep -o "$2"'
Anyways, hope this helps add a bit of efficiency into your day.
Running and developing an Ubuntu based workload on Mac OS has never been easier. Canonical has released a new tool called Multipass which allows you to quickly spin up Ubuntu Server virtual machines on Ubuntu, Mac OS and Windows. The following instructions will get you an Ubuntu Server VM up and running, and the Ubuntu file system mounted to Mac OS so that you can work in the Mac OS UI using your regular development tools like VS Code.
Mac OS
You'll first need to get Multipass installed by visiting the Multipass website and downloading and installing the package on your Mac OS host. Once installed, open the terminal on your Mac OS host and run the following to download and install the latest LTS release of Ubuntu Server.
multipass launch --name ubuntu
multipass shell ubuntu
After the VM has been started we need to connect to it to install the nfs server.
sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server -y
Now we need to create the folder that we're going to work from in the home directory of our new Ubuntu VM and open up the permissions on it.
mkdir -p ~/code
sudo chmod -R 777 ~/code
This folder needs to be exported from the VM's file system which is done by appending the following content to the /etc/exports file. If your VM has a different IP range than what is shown below you can simply update the command below to match your environment.
echo "/home/ubuntu/code,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,async,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)" | sudo tee -a /etc/exports
Then we have to export the folder and restart the NFS service.
sudo exportfs -a
sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
Create a temporary file so you can see if your mount worked successfully later.
touch ~/code/test
Mac OS
In another terminal window on your Mac OS host we need to mount our VM's code folder. Replace the string for the VM's IP address and the UserName of the user on Mac OS.
mkdir -p ~/code
sudo mount -t nfs :/home/ubuntu/code /Users//code
To keep the drive mounted after refreshing and restarting the VM
echo ":/home/ubuntu/code /Users//code nfs resvport,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Now you should be able to see the test file that you created previously in Ubuntu from Mac OS.
ls -al ~/code
From the terminal on your Mac OS host you can now open these folders like they live in Mac OS with your code editor of choice.
code ~/code
Tips & Tricks
On a day to day basis the most efficient way to work with these files is to perform your heavy IO interactions like git clones and builds from within your new Ubuntu VM. This can be done by leaving a terminal open SSH'd into it.
The services that Multipass use to create the VM on Mac OS allow you to over subscribe the VM's resources so if you want to have the fastest VM possible you can give it all CPU cores and RAM as well as ample disk space. The following command will give the new Ubuntu VM 16 cores, 100GB of disk space and 16GB of ram while allowing the host and other Multipass VM's to share the same resources.
multipass launch -c 16 -d 100G -m 16G --name ubuntu
At the time of writing you cannot resize the VM's disk space so you'll want to give it more than you think you'll need.
Whenever you write any code that is to be consumed by another, whether it be a library or some UI element, that consumer expects it to work in a certain way every time they interact with it. All good developers would agree and that's why we also write tests that either break our code up into chunks and test that each chunk works as expected, unit tests, or test the entire lifecycle, end to end tests.
Anyone who has written unit tests for long enough knows that they are tedious to keep in sync with refactors and often end up taking a disproportionate amount of time compared to the


text: The geometric design of a gerotor motor has a significant impact on its function, performance, quality, reliability and cost. When designing a gerotor motor all these features must be considered. A gerotor motor can be classified into two types based on the geometric design; gerolor (pin design) and gerotor (nonpin design). In this article, geometric parameters of the two design types are discussed briefly and the operation of the gerotor motor is described as well. A numerical analysis is carried out by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool (PumpLinx) to analyze the fluid flow and predict the performance of both types of gerotor designs. Various characteristics of the two designs of the gerotor motor are investigated and compared which include the gerotor design, fluid flowrate, velocity, pressure and output torque. Comparison of the results found out that using pin design gerotor motor, the flowrate, flow velocity, pressure and torque will vary greatly. Nonpin design can significantly reduce variations in all the flow characteristics thereby enhancing the stability and reduction in the leakage risk.

The Independent Certifier or Tester role is very similar in many respects to the Clerk of Works role detailed elsewhere and is a role principally used on PFI or PPP projects to provide assurance to the principal stakeholders that the works are being completed in accordance with the client's standards, specification and schedule as provided within the legal documents.
We establish the completion criteria based on the requirements of the project agreement, the expectation of the stakeholders and benchmarking standards at the earliest opportunity. Our approach ensures that from the outset all stakeholders know, understand and agree the requirements for completion.
During site inspections and system audits we monitor the quality of the construction services and the suitability of the management systems to deliver whilst also ensuring compliance with the project requirements as work progresses.
Witnessing completion testing, reviewing test and commissioning results and confirming compliance with the agreed completion criteria is the final part of the assessment allowing certification of completion.
To perform the role well a mix of skills are required including:
- A detailed knowledge of construction
- A close attention to detail
- Good interpersonal skills
- Clear communication of the testing requirements and timings
- Close collaboration with the contractor to jointly develop the completion process

"What is the difference between a Blue Point Himalayan and a Lilac Point Himalayan."
That is a question that can be hard to explain. So, I took two close up pictures of my Himalayans' faces to show the difference between the two Color Points. As you can see below the Blue Point Himalayan is darker than the Lilac Point Himalayan. Also, Lilac Points have lavender pawpads and nose leather; whereas, Blue Points do not.
Note: The Lilac Point below is still just a kitten. His Mask will eventually be larger.

Jump to: navigation, search
Introduction
This page contains information on using the LAVA CI project on R-Car platforms.
It is not intended as a complete 'end to end' tutorial on running LAVA. There are numerous sources for such tutorials including the official LAVA documentation. Instead, the aim is to explain nuances of using R-Car platforms in LAVA and to accelerate integration.
Glossary
DUT = Device Under Test, e.g. hardware platform to be tested
Serial console
LAVA interacts with the DUT via a serial console. A typical test job will involve restarting the DUT through a power cycle. This can be for multiple reasons. Power cycling means each job starts with the same setup for example. Another is restarting after flashing the DUT to use the flashed software.
The challenge is therefore for LAVA to maintain a serial console connection through such resets. Some R-Car platforms reset the serial on power on causing LAVA to lose the ser2net/telnet console link and therefore its ability to control the DUT. This can be mitigated by setting the LOCAL option for the DUT in the LAVA Worker ser2net configuration file.
lava-docker
If you are managing your LAVA instance using lava-docker (a project that simplifies LAVA instances using Docker) you can automate this by setting the option in your boards.yaml:

Curved Vs Flat Monitors:- Detailed Guide
When curved displays first appeared on the market, most people believed it was just a gimmick and a passing craze that's not worth the excess cost.
So, why exactly do curved paths make more sense than curved TVs, and what are the benefits and disadvantages of curved monitors compared to flat-screen models?
First, we will explain what distinct curvature radius evaluations imply, such as 1000R, 1500R, 3800R, etc..
The lower the number above the'R' isthe steeper the screen curvature will be.
1500R, for instance, refers to a radius of 1500mm or 1.5 meters — in case you were to make a circle out of a bunch of 1500R curved monitors, the radius of that circle could be 1.5m.
In addition, the curvature rating tells you that the optimal viewing distance.
So, with a 2000R curved monitor, you will only get full benefits of the curvature if you're no more than two meters away from the monitor.
Curved Vs Flat monitors
Unlike curved TVs, which usually have subtle curvatures of ~4000R, many curved paths have steeper curvatures of ~1500R. This makes sense as you are going to be sitting farther away from a TV than you would from a monitor.
But the problem with TVs is this to take whole benefit of a curved screen, you also have to be sitting right in front of it, which is not possible to do if you have a great deal of people in the room.
In addition, people seeing the TV in the far sides of a room wouldn't be able to see the entire screen due to the curvature.
So, it's clear why, for most people, a curved TV is not worth the extra price.
There are a few advantages to curved TVs too, which you can learn more about in our curved vs. flat TV article.
These issues do not affect curved monitors since they are meant for a single person sitting in front of the display.
What is more, curved monitors aren't necessarily more expensive than the wellness models. Oftentimes, curved panels are used for budget gaming monitors that are actually less expensive than their flat-panel counterparts.
Of course, how useful is that the curvature on a monitor mainly depends upon the screen's dimensions and curvature radius.
If you were looking to buy the best monitors according to your budget tag please check out our articles on this topic:-
 1. Best Monitor Under 100 USD
 2. Best Monitor Under 150 USD
 3. Best Monitor Under 200 USD
 4. Best Monitor Under 300 USD
 5. Best Monitor Under 500 USD
 6. Best Monitor Under 1000 USD
Small 24″ and 27″ sized curved monitors usually have curvatures of 1500R or even 1800R, which are not even that noticeable due to their small screen size.
With 32″ or bigger curved screens, the curvature becomes more noticeable, especially if it's 1500R or steeper, but then, the curvature isn't exactly necessary.
You shouldn't purchase a 24″ — 32″ widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) monitor just because it's curved unless you're also interested in additional specifications and features that the screen provides.
Due to the extra width of those monitors, the curvature actually brings the borders of the screen closer to you thus covering of your peripheral vision.
This adds extra depth to the image since you can see more of the display simultaneously, without having to move your eyes/head too much, which improves both eye and immersion relaxation, and also eliminates distortion at the edges of the screen.
Disadvantages Of Curved Monitors
The most important disadvantage of curved monitors is your viewing angles as you won't receive the perfect viewing experience unless you are sitting right facing the display.
So, if you would like to see a movie from your mattress, and your curved screen is not facing it, the picture quality might not be ideal, particularly if the screen has a VA panel with poor viewing angles to the IPS technology.
Obviously, this is based on the monitor's display dimensions and curvature in addition to the particular angle you would be taking a look at the screen.
Still another concern users have with curved monitors is seeing skilled use like design, 2D and 3D modeling, and design, but as long as the curvature is not too intense, it will not be a problem.
In the end, the most important thing to consider is the panel quality itself.
For professional use, you will want to have an IPS panel display for the most precise colors and widest viewing angles, and all widescreen IPS screens are flat-screen.
When it comes to the ultrawide versions, those intended for professional usage have subtle curvatures precisely for this reason; they remove distortion without stretching out the items which are near the borders of the display.
For gambling and multimedia/everyday usage, we highly recommend obtaining a curved monitor if you want an ultrawide display. So far as the widescreen models are concerned, it's just an issue of personal taste.

text: Korean: there are four Chinese characters used for the Yang surname, but only two are common enough to consider here; they have between them eight clans. The founding ancestor of the Ch'ŏngju Yang clan was Chinese and stayed in Korea after escorting Koryŏ, King Kongmin's future queen to Korea. The first historical ancestor of the Cheju Yang clan was a Shilla figure named Yang T'ang, but according to legend, his distant ancestor was one of three men who ascended from a cave on the north side of Cheju Island's Halla Mountain. These three men were the founders of the Yang, Pu, and Ko clans. The legendary founder of the Yang clan was named Yang Ŭl-la. Some days after their emergence, a box washed up on the shore of the island. In the box were three women, horses, cows, and agricultural seed. From these beginnings, the three established Cheju's T'amnaguk kingdom and ruled peacefully for 900 years. Later, descendants of the three men settled throughout Korea, although 40 percent of the Yang clan still live on Cheju island and in Chŏlla province.

Inauguration of the University
The University of Sydney was inaugurated on 11 October 1852 in premises formerly belonging to Sydney College, now Sydney Grammar School. The ceremony was reported in detail in the Illustrated London News on 29 January 1853.
The Governor of New South Wales' chair had a shield bearing the Royal Arms above it, with the arms of Oxford University to the right and those of Cambridge University to the left. Above the chair of Dr Woolley, Principal of the new university, were the arms of his old college, University College, Oxford.
The new university was represented by a blank white shield, bearing the motto "I will achieve." This, in the best traditions of heraldic puns, plays upon the notion of an achievement of arms as well as the idea of attaining a goal. The hope and expectation of achievement is enhanced by the white shield, as if it were a blank canvas ready to be filled.
A common seal, pictorial in nature, had been adopted in 1851, and served as a symbolic representation of the institution until the granting of the arms.


Covelo fire burned 617 acres
Full containment of the Pass Fire located east of Covelo, stubbornly eluded CalFire and the US Forest Service firefighters over the weekend.
Monday afternoon, the 617-acre fire was 97 percent contained. Cost as of 10:30 a.m. Monday was $2.6 million, but fire personnel had been reduced to 277 persons from a peak of 921.
When the fire began August 3at noon, it was attacked heavily from the air, as ground resources surged to the location. Initially, the fire threatened several structures near the Eel River Work Center, but then burned north and east, leaving the structures unharmed. Steep hills in the fire zone were covered with a combination of dry grass and oaks on the western slopes and grass and heavy manzanita on the eastern sides.
Containment was particularly challenging in the area located in the steep canyon slopes above the Eel River.
Fire engines from Little Lake, Ukiah Valley, Redwood Valley, Brooktrails and Laytonville fire departments responded to the mutual-aid call just after the fire started, and remained on the fire lines until Friday afternoon. Local firefighters slept on the ground and ate field rations for much of their time out.
In the early stage, the fire size was estimated at 800 acres, but as overflights mapped the fire boundaries more accurately, the official size was scaled back to 644 acres and finally to 617 acres.
Although the fire began in the state responsibility area, it quickly crossed into lands managed by the US Bureau of Land Management and Mendocino National Forest. The fire response was co-managed by CalFire and the U.S. Forest Service.
One firefighter suffered a wrist injury during the fire.

Ventilators are crucial medical devices in treating COVID-19 patients. Here are some of the key challenges engineers face in their design.
Ventilators are the last line of defense against the coronavirus. They keep patients alive by delivering oxygen—often pure oxygen—when their lungs fill with fluid. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 40 percent to 70 percent of COVID-19 critical care patients in China received ventilation.
Hospitals around the world are facing shortages shortages of ventilators to treat COVID-19 patients. As manufacturers rise to the challenge, and shift their production lines to manufacturer ventilator, here are some of the key challenges engineers face when designing these vital machines.

DOE/NNSA NEWS RELEASE
The U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration proposes to install two eight-foot-wide microwave dishes and accompanying infrastructure on the roof of a leased property in Santa Fe, NM. The microwave dishes are needed to provide redundant network capabilities with the communications tower recently installed at Technical Area 53 at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
Installation would include the two microwave dishes and accompanying infrastructure on the roof of the Pacheco Complex in Santa Fe and two eight-foot microwave dishes on the cellular tower located at the bend of Leda Road in TA-53 at LANL. The existing tower at TA-53 is a 70-foot-tall monopole structure with radio antennae. Investigations of microwave technology have identified a clear line of sight of approximately 22 miles between the Pacheco Complex and the TA-53 communications tower.
The microwave dishes would be used alongside the primary overhead fiber-optic cable to provide the required level of bandwidth (5 Gbps) to keep communications intact. LANL has identified a need for this project by recognizing the vulnerability for communications with the existing fiber-optic line between LANL and Santa Fe due to power outages and mechanical failures.
