text: In order to estimate recent surface displacement in Bangkok, we applied persistent SAR interferometry using ALOS/PALSAR images acquired October 2007 to December 2010. Previously, land subsidence due to excessive ground water pumping has been reported in this region. However, we detected that ground surface has rebounded during 3 years of the observation period. This rebounded surface can be interpreted as the response on the ground water recovery to confined aquifer due to the decrease in ground water usage. Since the rebounded areas correspond to past ground subsidence areas inferred from differential SAR interferometry using JERS-1/SAR images, it can be inferred that ground water recovery has especially occurred at the preceding subsidence areas.

What is pre-nature?
The pre – nature amulet is the precursor to the Amulet of nature. It is an unstrung emerald amulet which is strung with magic string, granting 4 crafting experience. Like the enchanted amulet of nature, it cannot be traded in the Grand Exchange. It can be enchanted with the Lvl-2 Enchant spell.
How do you make a magic amulet?
It is created by casting Lvl-1 Enchant on a sapphire amulet. It is one of the cheapest and most common amulets in the game because of the low crafting level to craft it, how common sapphires are, and the low magic level to enchant the amulet.
How do you make burning amulets?
A ball of wool can be used on the unstrung amulet to create a strung topaz amulet, which can then be enchanted at level 49 Magic using the Lvl-3 Enchant spell to create a burning amulet.
How do you make a gold amulet?
A gold amulet is made by using a gold bar on a furnace with an amulet mould in the inventory. It requires a crafting level of 8, and gives 30 experience, making an unstrung gold amulet. The amulet must then be strung before wearing by using either a ball of wool or the String Jewellery spell.
What do amulets do in RuneScape?
An Amulet is a piece of jewellery in Old School RuneScape. When strung with some wool and enchanted, it can give special effects for the wearer, some of which are only for members. Amulets are worn in the neckwear slot. Amulets can be made using the Crafting skill.
How do you make Amulet of strength?
The Amulet of strength is an enchanted Ruby amulet. It is frequently used by players to increase their max hit. At level 50 Crafting, players can craft a ruby amulet. With at least 49 Magic, Lvl-3 Enchant can be cast on a Ruby amulet to create an Amulet of strength.
What does Amulet of magic t do?
The amulet of magic ( t ) (or Trimmed amulet of magic ) is a variant of the regular amulet of magic. To obtain the amulet, players can either complete level 1 Treasure Trails, or trade with other players. The only difference from the regular amulet of magic is visual; no differences in stat bonuses exist between the two.
How do you take care of an amulet?
You will only need to clean it. If you want to give extra energy to the amulet or ring, just place it outdoors during full moon for as long as you want. The longer you keep it in the full moon light the more extra energy it will absorb. You can also give offers to the energy that is bound to your amulet.
How do you make an amulet of Topaz?
The topaz amulet is made by using a silver bar on a furnace while having a red topaz and an amulet mould in the inventory. It requires a Crafting level of 45 and provides 80 experience when made.
Where do I get the burning amulet?
- Chaos Temple (level 15 Wilderness)
- Bandit Camp (level 17 Wilderness)
- Lava Maze (level 41 Wilderness)
How do you make amulet Osrs?
A ruby amulet is made by using a gold bar on a furnace with a ruby and an amulet mould in the inventory. It requires a Crafting level of 50 or higher and provides 85 Crafting experience when made. The amulet must be strung before wearing or enchantment by using a ball of wool or the String Jewellery spell.
What can you do with a gold amulet?
The gold amulet cannot be enchanted, making it purely cosmetic. However, it can be sold to Grum's Gold Exchange in Port Sarim for 245 coins or at the Grand Exchange.
How do you string a gold amulet?
It needs a string so I can wear it. A Gold amulet (u) is made with the Crafting skill by using a gold bar on a furnace while carrying an amulet mould. Following that, they are strung with a ball of wool, resulting in a strung gold amulet.
How do you make a diamond amulet?
A diamond amulet is made by using a gold bar, a diamond and an amulet mould on a furnace. With a requirement of a Crafting level of 70, it provides 100 experience when made. Before it can be worn, an amulet must first be strung using a ball of wool or the Lunar spell String Jewellery.

Rope – la cuerda
To remember that rope is pronounced kwehr-dah (cuerda) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
The rope shows he must have climbed out the window. The question is, where has Dad gone?
Cuerda is feminine, so it's la cuerda. Imagine a lady swinging on a rope.


BGP Origin Validation
Overview
Resource Certification (RPKI) is a community-driven system in which all Regional Internet Registries, open source software developers and several major router vendors participate. It uses open standards that were developed in the Secure Inter-Domain Routing (sidr) Working Group in the IETF.
A resource certificate offers validatable proof of holdership of a resource's allocation or assignment by an RIR. Using their resource certificate, network operators can create cryptographically validatable statements about the route announcements they authorise to be made with the prefixes they hold. This is known as BGP Origin Validation.
BGP Origin Validation
There are about 550,000 route announcements on the Internet today. The most common routing error we see is the accidental mis-origination of a prefix, meaning someone unintentionally announces an IP prefix that they are not the holder of. RPKI offers BGP origin validation, so the question it tries to answer is:
Is this particular route announcement authorised by the legitimate holder of the address space?"
RPKI allows network operators to create cryptographically validatable statements about the route announcements they authorise to be made with the prefixes they hold. These statements are called Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs).
A ROA states which Autonomous System (AS) is authorised to originate a certain IP address prefix. In addition, it can determine the maximum length of the prefix that the AS is authorised to advertise.
Based on this information, other network operators can make routing decisions.
RPKI Route Announcement Validity
When a network operator creates a ROA for a certain combination of origin AS and prefix, this will have an effect on the RPKI validity of one or more route announcements. They can be:
 - VALID
 - The route announcement is covered by at least one ROA
 - INVALID
 - The prefix is announced from an unauthorised AS
 - The announcement is more specific than is allowed by the maximum length set in a ROA that matches the prefix and AS
 - UNKNOWN
 - The prefix in this announcement is not covered (or only partially covered) by an existing ROA
Summary
The Resource Certification (RPKI) system consists of two parts:
 1. Network operators use their certificates to create Route Origin Authorisations (ROAs), stating from which Autonomous Systems their prefixes will be originated and what the maximum allowed prefix length is
 2. Other network operators can set their routing preferences based on the RPKI validity of route announcements when compared to the ROAs that were created

Please note that the current RPKI functionality solely offers origin validation. However, it lays the foundation to offering true Secure BGP, including path validation. Work on creating the standards for this are currently being developed in the IETF.

Chromatic Polynomials of Oriented Graphs. (arXiv:1810.05590v1 [cs.DM])
The oriented chromatic polynomial of a oriented graph outputs the number of oriented $k$-colourings for any input $k$. We fully classify those oriented graphs for which the oriented graph has the same chromatic polynomial as the underlying simple graph, closing an open problem posed by Sopena. We find that such oriented graphs admit a forbidden subgraph characterization, and such graphs can be both identified and constructed in polynomial time. We study the analytic properties of this polynomial and show that there exist oriented graphs which have chromatic polynomials have roots, including negative real roots, that cannot be realized as the root of any chromatic polynomial of a simple graph.查看全文

Buildings designed in the Brutalist style—raw concrete fronted structures built between the 1950s and 1980s—are often overlooked gems among Toronto's diverse urban landscape. Blue Crow Media, in partnership with local heritage specialists ERA Architects have teamed up to create the "Concrete Toronto Map"—a guide to forty-seven of the city's most notable concrete structures. The two-sided guide features original photography by Jason Woods and a map that details where to find it all, along with details of the structures' significance and heritage.
What began as a post-war experimental medium in Toronto and elsewhere, concrete is found in most of the structures we interact with daily, but it's not always expressed on the exterior of buildings, and is most often covered with other materials. The Concrete Toronto Map celebrates the buildings that celebrate the medium, usually where care has been taken to leave patterns and texture. From clustered concrete tower blocks, like Viljo Revell's New City Hall to the sculptural structures like the University of Toronto's Robarts Library by Warner, Burns, Toan & Lunde, the map highlights the buildings that remain as symbols of the brutalist period. The Concrete Toronto Map joins an existing series from the publisher which includes Chicago, Tokyo, and several other major cities.
As many concrete and Brutalist buildings around the world are either being demolished or under threat, this map seeks to highlight and solidify the role of concrete architecture in Toronto's celebrated cityscape. A statement from the editor reads "Toronto is beginning to redefine itself through its concrete heritage – the fabric of our post-war growth – the architecture of our schools, universities, libraries and mass housing. Many are developing a cult following as a new type of landmark; and some are finding a second life through new investments and restorations. However, most are under threat. This map provides a calling card at this crucial moment of the city's understanding of its concrete legacy."
The Concrete Toronto Map is available through Blue Crow Media's website. Have a particular interest in brutalist architecture? Let us know by leaving a comment in the space provided below.

The calculation of radiated acoustic pressure fields from irregular multi-sided polygons
UNSPECIFIED. (2004) The calculation of radiated acoustic pressure fields from irregular multi-sided polygons. JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 115 (5 Part 1). pp. 2021-2031. ISSN 0001-4966Full text not available from this repository.

This paper presents a method of calculating the pressure at any point emerging from a plane piston of polygonal shape in an infinite baffle. This is achieved by calculation of the impulse response as a time-stepped function, and considering the effect of each edge of the polygon in turn. The pressure is found from the convolution of this function with the time derivative of the piston velocity multiplied by the density of the propagation medium. Calculated pressure fields are shown for both a series of sources shaped as regular polygons, and for a source with an irregular shape. It is shown that the approach could be useful for the calculation of radiated fields from sources of arbitrary shape. (C) 2004 Acoustical Society of America.

Homeless people who do not get enough to eat use hospitals and emergency rooms at very high rates, according to a new study. One in four respondents to a nationwide survey reported not getting enough to eat, a proportion six times higher than in the general population, and more than two thirds of those had recently gone without eating for a whole day. The report will appear in the Journal of General Internal Medicine and has been released online.
"The study is the first to highlight the association between food insufficiency and health care use in a national sample of homeless adults," says lead author Travis P. Baggett, MD, MPH, of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) General Medicine Division. "Our results suggest a need to better understand and address the social determinants of health and health-care-seeking behavior,"
Baggett and a team of investigators at MGH and the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program analyzed survey data from 966 adult respondents to the 2003 nationwide Health Care for the Homeless User Survey. They found that homeless people who did not have enough to eat had a higher risk of being hospitalized in a medical or psychiatric unit than did those with enough to eat and also were more likely to be frequent users of emergency rooms. Neither relationship could be explained by individual differences in illness. Nearly half of the hungry homeless had been hospitalized in the preceding year and close to one-third had used an emergency room four or more times in the same year.
Baggett explains the study was sparked by his clinical experience caring for homeless individuals. "Homeless patients with inadequate food may have difficulty managing their health conditions or taking their medications. They may postpone routine health care until the need is urgent and may even use emergency rooms as a source of food. Whether expanding food services for the very poor would ameliorate this problem is uncertain, but it begs further study." Baggett is an instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
The senior author of the JGIM study is Nancy Rigotti, MD, MGH General Medicine. Additional co-authors are James O'Connell, MD, and Monica Bharel, MD, MGH and Boston Health Care for the Homeless; Daniel Singer, MD, MGH General Medicine, and Sowmya Rao, PhD, MGH Biostatistics. The study was supported by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding in 1811, Massachusetts General Hospital is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of nearly $700 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

How to Read a Manitowoc Serial Number and Model Number
Reading Time: 5 minutes Ice Machines 101
Manitowoc serial number
There are many different models and styles of Manitowoc ice machines on the market. From ice dispensers, and nugget ice makers, to air cooled ice machines, there are a lot Manitowoc ice machine options out there. The Manitowoc ice machine serial number and model number can help you identify if a machine is under warranty or specifics about the ice machine.
In this article, we'll teach you how to read a Manitowoc ice machine's serial number and model number nomenclature.
How to Read a Manitowoc Ice Machine Serial Number
Manitowoc serial numbers on post-2006 have two numbers that identify the date the machine was manufactured and warranty information the manufacturer uses to identify if there are any ice maker components under warranty.
You can find a Manitowoc serial number's location on the back of the ice machine.
Commercial Ice Machine Leasing – Revolutionized!
Manitowoc Serial Number Date Code
Manitowoc serial number date
In post-2006 models, the date the ice machine was produced is not included in the serial number. You can find the date listed above the serial number listed as "MFG DT". A Manitowoc serial number's nomenclature is easy to decipher. The four-digit code is listed as year followed by the month of production. For example, in the example above the label reads MFG DT 1809, the machine was manufactured in September 2018.
In pre-2006 models, the date is included in the serial number. This code uses the same nomenclature as newer models but places he four-digit code right before the serial number. For example, if the serial number is 160868304, the "0508" would mean the machine was manufactured in August 2005.
Manitowoc Serial Number Usage
Manitowoc serial number
The rest of a Manitowoc serial number is important because it provides the manufacturer with valuable information about existing warranties on their machines. If you're running into ice machine issues and want to see if your particular Manitowoc commercial ice machine model is under warranty, you'll likely need to provide this number to Manitowoc customer service.
Ice machine technicians may also need this number to see if any ice machine repairs are covered by the manufacturer – which saves you money in repair costs.
The number is listed on the back of the machine under the label SERIAL NO.
Information Found Inside a Manitowoc Ice Machine Model Number
Reading a Manitowoc ice machine's model is different than how you would read a Manitowoc serial number. This 8-digit alphanumeric code tells you everything about the machine, from the ice type to the type of refrigerant it uses.
A Manitowoc model number will tell you:
 - Model Version
 - Ice Type
 - Refrigerant Type
 - Production size
 - Type of Condenser
 - And more
Model numbers are different between brands. For example, a Hoshizaki model number provides much of the same information, they're just presented differently.
Model Version
Just like cars, ice machines go through changes and upgrades to stay up to date with emerging technology.
Manitowoc ice machines come out with new models every few years. Currently, the Manitowoc Indigo NXT ice machine is the most recent. Past models include the Q series. As new models come forth, look to see that letter change to reflect the newest technology.
A Manitowoc commercial ice machine model number uses the first letter to signify the newest model.
Ice Type
The ice type is the shape of ice the ice machine makes. Manitowoc has 5 different ice types in their machines, Half-dice, Dice, Regular, Flake, and Nugget.
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the ice type is found directly after the model version.
Here is a list of the types of ice below:
Refrigerant Type
Some Manitowoc Indigo NXT ice machines use a different type of refrigerant than others. This is to meet federal guidelines for a more energy-efficient ice maker (some refrigerant is more energy-efficient than others).
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the letter following the ice type signifies the type of refrigerant the machine uses.
There are two types of machines that use different types of refrigerant.
 - T = R10A refrigerant
 - F = R404A refrigerant
While many ice machine owners aren't concerned with the type of refrigerant their ice machine uses, it is important information for an ice machine technician to know.
Production Size
The Manitowoc ice machine model number will also let you know the maximum amount of ice an ice machine can produce. This is normally signified by a four-digit number, signifying the amount of ice an ice machine will produce in 24 hours. In the US, the number is in relation to pounds.
The Manitowoc ice machine production size is listed after the dash following the refrigerant type.
Type of Condenser
Manitowoc ice machines have three condenser types available on their ice makers: air-cooled, water-cooled, and remote. The type of condenser lets users know how the machine cools itself down.
Air cooled machines use the surrounding air to cool condenser coils. Water cooled ice machines use water to cool down. Remote ice machines place the condenser outside, away from the ice maker machine.
In a Manitowoc ice machine model number, the type of condenser is shown in the letter directly following the production size.
Here is a list of Manitowoc condenser types:

2 Comments on "How to Read a Manitowoc Serial Number and Model Number"
 1. I have an older Manitowoc ice making machine Model S570. Is this an air cooled or water cooled machine. I am looking to replace it and wondering what Manitowoc model is relatively similar?
 1. Hello Ron,
 Thank you so much for reaching out. The model you provided looks like the model number for the bin, which is what holds the ice. There are a few different models that can fit on that bin size, so it would be best to locate the model number of the machine itself. This is an 8-digit alphanumeric code that generally looks something similar to this: IYF-0600A. The 0600 in this case represents the production of the machine (approx. 600 lbs), and the "A" represents air-cooled machine.
 A = Manitowoc air cooled ice machines
 W = Manitowoc water cooled ice machines
 N = Manitowoc remote cooled ice machines
 Here are some Manitowoc ice maker models that you can use to reference.

stones. The stones used to resize an aluminum cylinder differ from those used to resize a cast iron or steel cylinder. Remember also that the honing stones must be in good condition. If not, they should be redressed or replaced before you commence the project.
Once the engine block is securely anchored, and the cylinder in position, lower the hone into the bore until the bottom end of the hone protrudes ½ inch or 1.5 centimeters beyond the lowest point of the bore hole. Then adjust the hone until its cutting stones contact the narrowest part of the cylinder; this will normally be at the bottom of the bore. The hone should not be excessively tight against the walls of the cylinder. If you cannot turn the hone by hand, loosen the adjustment knob until you are able to.
The drill should be set to operate within the range of 300 to 700 rpm. When the drill is started, move the hone up and down inside the cylinder at a pace of 40 to 50 times per minute. If all you need to do is a deglazing, just a few strokes will be necessary.
When resizing a cylinder, you will need to work out its narrowest end first. As the cylinder acquires a more uniform diameter, the hone should move gradually further along the cylinder length. The ends of the honing stones should not move more than ½ inch beyond either the top or bottom of the cylinder as the hone is used.
Follow instructions of the hone manufacturer when honing is done. Lubricant such as cutting oil must be used with some hones. Refer to recommendations of the manufacturer to determine the correct lubricant. On the other hand, some hones will not work at all if there is lubricant on the cylinder walls.
As honing proceeds, be sure to check cylinder bore diameter regularly, particularly when resizing. Try to stop every 10 to 20 hone strokes to check not just cylinder size, but its cross hatching. A cylinder is normally honed only enough to produce a uniform pattern of cross hatching on its walls. If a cylinder is being resized for a larger piston, it should be honed until the desired diameter has been reached.
To check bore diameter, remove the hone from the cylinder, and take the measurements described above(INSIDE MEASUREMENT TOOLS). As you cease honing for a measurement, keep the hone traveling up and down in the bore until the cutting stones have stopped turning. As rotation speed decreases, reduce the speed at which you are moving the hone up and down the cylinder. This will maintain proper cross hatching patterns. Once the hone has stopped, loosen its adjusting nut so that you do not scratch the cylinder wall as the cutting stones are extracted from the bore.
If you are resizing a cylinder, it is important to check its size frequently to avoid enlarging the bore too much. When the cylinder is within 0.002 inches or 0.05 millimeters of your desired diameter, the coarse stones you were using should be replaced with fine stones to finish the project. The procedure for finish honing is exactly the same as for coarse honing.
Cleaning the reconditioned cylinder: once honing has been finished, the cylinder walls must be cleaned. It is critical to remove all grit and other particles left by the honing process. The engine block should first be washed with cleaning solvent. Solvent will remove any lubrication oil that was used from the cylinder, however it will not completely remove grit and other particles. To remove these remaining particles, the cylinder must be washed with soap and hot water, and a stiff brush. Be sure your soap solution is very sudsy. Suds will get into cross hatching and float out gritty particles. To complete the cleaning process, wash the cylinder with hot water and dry it with soft clean cloths, or better yet, compressed air. When the cylinder is dry, a fresh coat of new motor oil should be applied to its walls to prevent rusting.
After honing is completed, measure the bore again to be sure it is the proper size. Record your new measurements; you will need them later on to determine piston to cylinder bore clearance.

I am working on a web app that provides a visual programming environment to generate 3D models - Mobius
It involves creating a scripts by adding lines of coding and just editing parameters. We are using angular-tree-component to generate a tree to represent the code structure, like in the image below
The lines of code are draggable - but as the tree becomes bigger - dragging and dropping becomes cumbersome. Hence, we were thinking of adding a cut-paste functionality with which the user can select and cut lines of code and paste them somewhere else.
What would be the most user-friendly way of implementing this functionality?
Adding Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V shortcuts are one way - but I am not sure if it would be discoverable, given that this feature didn't exist before. What microinteractions should I be taking care of in this case?
Is there a better way to implement this other than keyboard shortcuts? Each line has a set of buttons that are visible when the line is focussed. Not sure if adding another button to that is a good idea?

QtBridge
QtBridge is a WebWorks 2.0/Cordova native extension that provides a dynamic bridge between Qt and JavaScript allowing you to leverage Qt APIs directly from javascript, including the use of Qt signals and slots. With QtBridge you can easily create a custom qt class and expose it directly to javascript (see Custom Qt Classes below).
Applies To
Author
Contents
Javascript API
The api exports a global module as Qt and blackberry.qt.
A simple example is shown here:
if (Qt.initialize()) {
 var deviceInfo = Qt.createObject("bb.device.DeviceInfo");
 console.log("Current Orientation: " + deviceInfo.orientation);
 var connectionId = deviceInfo.connect("orientationChanged", function (newOrientation) {
 console.log("Orientation changed to " + newOrientation);
 });
} else {
 console.log("Could not initialize QtBridge.");
}
See the Sample Application for an full example of how to use the API.
Object Methods
Object methods are available on any object created by QtBridge.
introspect()
Introspect returns a json representation of a QObject. This method is used internally to define object properties and functions when an object is created. Use this method if you want to inspect the details of a QObject class that are not reflected in the resulting object structure: e.g. which signals are change events for which properties.
connect(string signal, function slot)
Connects the specified signal on the object obj to the function slot. Returns an id that can later be used with disconnect().
 - signal The name of the signal to be connected.
 - slot The javascript function to be executed when the signal is fired.
Example:
var connectionId = deviceInfo.connect("orientationChanged", function (newOrientation) {
 console.log("Orientation changed to " + newOrientation);
});
disconnect(object obj, string signal, [function or id] slot)
Disconnects the specified signal on the object obj from a previously connected function.
 - signal The name of the signal to be disconnected.
 - slot An function previously connected, or an id previously returned, by connect()
Example:
deviceInfo.disconnect("orientationChanged", connectionId)
destroy()
Destroys the C++ QObject and cleans up any signals and slots connections that were made to/from the object. You should call this method whenever you want to free an object created by QtBridge. This is the equivalent of calling deleteLater() from C++.
Global Methods
Global methods are available on the global object (Qt or blackberry.qt).
initialize()
Loads the qt core shared libraries and starts the module thread. Calling this method more than once will have no effect. Returns true if the module was successfully loaded.
terminate()
Unloads the qt core shared libraries, as well as any additional libraries that were loaded by this module and shuts down the module thread. Returns true if the module was successfully unloaded.
createObject(string class)
Creates an new qt object.
 - class The fully qualified name of the C++ class (separated by "." not "::"). Optionally, an API level may be specified by appending an "@" followed by the api level to the class string. By default, the highest API level will be selected.
Example:
var deviceInfo = Qt.createObject("bb.device.DeviceInfo");
var deviceInfo_v1 = Qt.createObject("bb.device.DeviceInfo@1.0");
listNamespace(string namespace)
Returns a list of classes available in the specified namespace. This is useful for feature detection.
 - namespace A fully qualified namespace (separated by "." not "::")
Example:
var classList = Qt.listNamespace("bb.device");
connect(object obj, string signal, function slot)
Connects the specified signal on the object obj to the function slot. Returns an id that can later be used with disconnect().
 - obj An object created by createObject().
 - signal The name of the signal to be connected.
 - slot The javascript function to be executed when the signal is fired.
Example:
var connectionId = Qt.connect(deviceInfo, "orientationChanged", function (newOrientation) {
 console.log("Orientation changed to " + newOrientation);
});
disconnect(object obj, string signal, [function or id] slot)
Disconnects the specified signal on the object obj from a previously connected function.
 - obj An object created by createObject().
 - signal The name of the signal to be disconnected.
 - slot An function previously connected, or an id previously returned, by connect()
Example:
Qt.disconnect(deviceInfo, "orientationChanged", connectionId);
Global Properties
Global properties are available on the global object (Qt or blackberry.qt).
initialized
Returns true if the qt module is currently loaded and running.
Custom Qt Classes
QtBridge can use any QObject-based C++ classes that are registered with the qml type system. A complete sample class that demonstrates this feature can be found in the QtBridge native extension in the CustomModules folder with the name Module1.
Creating a custom Class
To expose your custom C++ class to javascript through QtBridge, you will need to do the following:
 - Inherit from QObject
 class Module1: public QObject

 - Use the Q_OBJECT macro in your class definition
 - Exposed methods must be a slot (marked with Q_SLOT/Q_SLOTS) or invokable (marked with Q_INVOKABLE)
 Q_SLOT void doSomething();
 Q_INVOKABLE QString doSomethingWithResult();

 - Exposed properties must be declared with Q_PROPERTY
 Q_PROPERTY (QString constantProperty READ constantProperty CONSTANT)
 Q_PROPERTY (QString fullProperty READ fullProperty WRITE setFullProperty NOTIFY fullPropertyChanged)

 ...

 public:
 QString constantProperty() const;
 QString fullProperty() const();
 void setFullProperty(QString fullProperty);

 Q_SIGNALS:
 void fullPropertyChanged();

 - Your class must be declared as a qml type with QML_DECLARE_TYPE(fully::qualified::class) outside any namespaces
 QML_DECLARE_TYPE(custom::Module1)

 - Your class must be registered with qmlRegisterType<fully::qualified::class>("fully.qualified", 1, 0, "Class") in the registerCustomTypes function in CustomModules/CustomModules.cpp to make QtBridge aware of your class
 void registerCustomTypes() {
 qmlRegisterType<custom::Module1>("custom", 1, 0, "Module1");
 }

What is significant?
The Thomson River Diversion Tunnel is located about 4km south-west of Walhalla in Gippsland, 1.5km below where Stringers Creek joins the Thomson River. The tunnel was driven through a ridge of land called Stockriders Spur, around which the river formed a horseshoe bend.
Diversion tunnels facilitated alluvial gold mining along the former courses of rivers. After completion the river would flow through the tunnel, allowing in summer time most or all of the flow to be diverted so that the river bed could be sluiced for alluvial gold. In winter the volume of water flow would probably resume the former course, making sluicing very difficult.
Construction of the Thomson River Diversion Tunnel by the Thomson River Alluvial Gold and Tailings Recovery Company was begun in August 1911. Work started at the outlet end and the tunnel was driven at an incline through the slate rock. Construction was completed around October 1912 by blasting through rock at the inlet end. The total length of the tunnel is about 561' (171m). The tunnel is not straight, but reportedly has a sharp change of angle below the entrance and again near the outlet. The entry and exits of the tunnel contribute to the significance as the most visible evidence of the scope of the undertaking.
The fortunes of the Thomson River Alluvial Gold and Tailings Recovery Company are not known, but the working of the horseshoe bend of the Thomson River is not believed to have brought significant dividends. Alluvial mining was never a major feature of the Walhalla field, being confined to sluicing on the beds and banks of Thomson River and its tributaries. In 1886, the mining surveyor observed that nearly all the beds had at some time or other been passed through the sluice-box.
How is it significant?
The Thomson River Diversion Tunnel is of historical and Archaeological significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Thomson River Diversion Tunnel is historically and archaeologically significant as evidence of one of the dying stages of an industry that had dominated Gippsland for over fifty years. The settlement of the Walhalla area from the mid 1860s had been on the basis of reef mining. With the rapid decline in the fortunes and subsequent closure in 1914 of such prolific mines as Long Tunnel, the sluicing of this part of the Thomson River was one of the last initiatives to win payable gold. Sluicing for alluvial gold in the Thomson River in 1912 had turned the Walhalla wheel full circle from the first prospectors working for gold in Stringers Creek in the early 1860s. The tunnel is significant as one of the last and longest diversion tunnels constructed for winning gold in the Victoria.
The Thomson River Diversion Tunnel is socially significant as a component of one Victoria's most evocative gold mining landscapes. The tunnel contributes to a unique cultural and historical landscape, which was dominated by gold in the nineteenth century, but a landscape with little permanent evidence of its former importance.
THOMSON RIVER TAIL RACE/DIVERSION TUNNEL - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: According to Aitken and Supple et al, the tunnel was cut through a hill to divert the Thomson River and enable alluvial miners to work the dry bed of the river. This interpretation varies from the mining surveyor's account of the tunnel's purpose in 1871: 'At Cooper's Creek a party are engaged in tunnelling in the bed-rock, to form a tail-race for the purpose of draining the flat, which is supposed to be the old bed of the Thomson River.'References: Aitken, p. 39 Mining Surveyors' Reports (Stringer's Creek Division), December 1871 Supple et al, Site M24 (i)

The price of a product or service is not available as a field you can select during an import. Price is calculated based on the 'cost of goods' field and the 'profit' field. If your profit field is blank, only the cost of goods will be used to determine the price.
The price column in your import file cannot have the $ symbol in it.
When importing a product and specifying a tax (i.e., Tax 1 or Tax 2), use a '1' in the import file to identify that the tax field should be checked.


Install Apigee SSO for high availability
You install multiple instances of Apigee SSO for high availability in two scenarios:
 - In a single data center environment, install two Apigee SSO instances to create a high availability environment, meaning the system continues to operate if one of the Apigee SSO modules goes down.
 - In an environment with two data centers, install Apigee SSO in both data centers so that the system continues to operate if one of the Apigee SSO modules goes down.
Install two Apigee SSO modules in the same data center
You deploy two instances of Apigee SSO, on different nodes, in a single data center to support high availability. In this scenario:
 - Both instances of Apigee SSO must be connected to the same Postgres server. Apigee recommends using a dedicated Postgres server for Apigee SSO and not the same Postgres server that you installed with Edge.
 - Both instances of Apigee SSO must use the same JWT key and certificate as specified by the SSO_JWT_SIGNINIG_KEY_FILEPATH and SSO_JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY_FILEPATH properties in the configuration file. See Install and configure Apigee SSO for more on setting these properties.
 - You require a load balancer in front of the two instances of Apigee SSO:
 - The load balancer must support application generated cookie stickiness, and the session cookie must be named JSESSIONID.
 - Configure the load balancer to perform a TCP or HTTP health check on Apigee SSO. For TCP, use the URL of Apigee SSO:
 http_or_https://edge_sso_IP_DNS:9099
 Specify the port as set by Apigee SSO. Port 9099 is the default.
 For HTTP, include /healthz:
 http_or_https://edge_sso_IP_DNS:9099/healthz
 - Some load balancer settings depend on whether you enabled HTTPS on Apigee SSO. See the following sections for more information.
HTTP access to Apigee SSO
If you are using HTTP access to Apigee SSO, then configure the load balancer to:
 - Use HTTP mode to connect to Apigee SSO.
 - Listen on the same port as Apigee SSO.
 By default, Apigee SSO listens for HTTP requests on port 9099. Optionally, you can use SSO_TOMCAT_PORT to set the Apigee SSO port. If you used SSO_TOMCAT_PORT to change the Apigee SSO port from the default, ensure that the load balancer listens on that port.
For example, on each Apigee SSO instance you set the port to 9033 by adding the following to the config file:
SSO_TOMCAT_PORT=9033
You then configure the load balancer to listen on port 9033 and forwarding requests to an Edge SSO instance on port 9033. The public URL of Apigee SSO in this scenario is:
http://LB_DNS_NAME:9033
HTTPS access to Apigee SSO
You can configure the Apigee SSO instances to use HTTPS. In this scenario, follow the steps in Configure Apigee SSO for HTTPS access. As part of the process of enabling HTTPS, you set SSO_TOMCAT_PROFILE in the Apigee SSO config file as shown below:
SSO_TOMCAT_PROFILE=SSL_TERMINATION
You can also optionally set the port used by Apigee SSO for HTTPS access:
SSO_TOMCAT_PORT=9443
Then configure the load balancer to:
 - Use TCP mode, not HTTP mode, to connect to Apigee SSO.
 - Listen on the same port as Apigee SSO as defined by SSO_TOMCAT_PORT.
You then configure the load balancer to forward requests to an Apigee SSO instance on port 9433. The public URL of Apigee SSO in this scenario is:
https://LB_DNS_NAME:9443
Install Apigee SSO in multiple data centers
In a multiple data center environment, you install an Apigee SSO instance in each data center. One Apigee SSO instance then handles all traffic. If that Apigee SSO instance goes down you can then switch to the second Apigee SSO instance.
Before you install Apigee SSO in two data centers, you need the following:
 - The IP address or domain name of the Master Postgres server.
 In a multiple data center environment, you typically install one Postgres server in each data center and configure them in Master-Standby replication mode. For this example, data center 1 contains the Master Postgres server and data center 2 contains the Standby. For more information, see Set up Master-Standby Replication for Postgres.
 - A single DNS entry that points to one Apigee SSO instance. For example, you create a DNS entry in the form below that points to the Apigee SSO instance in data center 1:
 my-sso.domain.com => apigee-sso-dc1-ip-or-lb
When you install Apigee SSO in each data center, you configure both to use the Postgres Master in data center 1:
## Postgres configuration
PG_HOST=IP_or_DNS_of_PG_Master_in_DC1
PG_PORT=5432
You also configure both data centers to use the DNS entry as the publicly accessible URL:
# Externally accessible URL of Apigee SSO
SSO_PUBLIC_URL_HOSTNAME=my-sso.domain.com
# Default port is 9099.
SSO_PUBLIC_URL_PORT=9099
If Apigee SSO in data center 1 goes down, you can then switch to the Apigee SSO instance in data center 2:
 1. Convert the Postgres Standby server in data center 2 to Master as described in Handling a PostgresSQL database failover.
 2. Update the DNS record to point my-sso.domain.com to the Apigee SSO instance in data center 2:
 my-sso.domain.com => apigee-sso-dc2-ip-or-lb
 3. Update the config file for Apigee SSO in data center 2 to point to the new Postgres Master server in data center 2:
 ## Postgres configuration
 PG_HOST=IP_or_DNS_of_PG_Master_in_DC2
 4. Restart Apigee SSO in data center 2 to update its configuration:
 /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-sso restart


f Pouring Water and Weighing Puzzles
Pouring water I
Water Puzzle
Pouring water II
Given three bowls: 8, 5 and 3 liters capacity, divide 8 liters in half (4 + 4 liters) with the minimum number of water transfers. Note that the 8-liter bowl is initially filled with 8 liters of water and the other two bowls are empty - that is all water you have.
Pouring water III
Given three bowls: 7, 4 and 3 liters capacity. Only the 7-liter is full. Pouring the water the fewest number of times, make the quantities of 2, 2, and 3 liters.
Pouring water IV
How can you measure 6 liters of water using only 4 and 9-liter bowls?
Pouring water V
Water Glasses
Measure exactly 2 liters of water if you have:
1. 4 and 5-liter glass
2. 4 and 3-liter glass
Pouring water VI
Given three bowls: bowl A (8 liters capacity) filled with 5 liters of water; bowl B (5 liters capacity) filled with 3 liters of water; and bowl C (3 liters capacity) filled with 2 liters of water.
Can you measure exactly 1 liter, by transferring the water only 2 times?
Weighing I
Digital Scale
You have 10 bags with 1000 coins each. In one of the bags, all coins are forgeries. A true coin weighs 1 gram; each counterfeit coin weighs 1.1 gram.
If you have an accurate scale, which you can use only once, how can you identify the bag with the forgeries? And what if you didn't know how many bags contained counterfeit coins?
Weighing II
A genuine gummy drop bear has a mass of 10 grams, while an imitation gummy drop bear has a mass of 9 grams. Spike has 7 cartons of gummy drop bears, 4 of which contain real gummy drop bears and the others - imitation.
Using a scale only once and the minimum number of gummy drop bears, how can Spike determine which cartons contain real gummy drop bears?
Weighing III
This puzzle goes a step further from the previous one.
You have eight bags, each of them containing 48 coins. Five of those bags contain only true coins, the rest of them contain fake coins. A fake coin weighs 1 gram less than a real coin. You have an accurate scale, with the precision of up to 1 gram.
Weighing only once and using the minimum number of coins, how can you find the bags containing the fake coins?
Weighing IV
Unbalanced Scale
Weighing V
On a Christmas tree there were two blue, two red, and two white balls. All seemed same. However, in each color pair, one ball was heavier. All three lighter balls weighed the same, just like all three heavier balls.
Using a balance scale twice, identify the lighter balls.
Weighing VI
There are 9 similar balls. Eight of them weigh the same and the ninth is a bit heavier.
How would you identify the heavier ball if you could use a two-pan balance scale only twice?
Weighing VII
Given 27 table tennis balls, one is heavier than the others.
What is the minimum number of weighings (using a two-pan balance scale) needed to guarantee identifying the heavy one? Of course, the other 26 balls weigh the same.
Weighing VIII
Suppose that the objects to be weighed may range from 1 to 121 pounds at 1-pound intervals: 1, 2, 3,..., 119, 120 and 121. After placing one such weight on either of two weighing pans of a pair of scales, one or more precalibrated weights are then placed in either or both pans until a balance is achieved, thus determining the weight of the object.
If the relative positions of the lever, fulcrum, and pans may not be changed, and if one may not add to the initial set of precalibrated weights, what is the minimum number of such weights that would be sufficient to bring into balance any of the 121 possible objects?
Hourglass I
Sandglass Sandglass
Having 2 sandglasses: one 7-minute and the second one 4-minute, how can you correctly time 9 minutes?
Hourglass II
A teacher of mathematics used an unconventional method to measure a 15-minute time limit for a test. He just used 7 and 11-minutehourglasses. During the whole time he turned sandglasses only 3 times (turning both hourglasses at once count as one flip).
Explain how the teacher measured 15 minutes.
Burning Fuses
Your job is to measure 45 minutes, if you have only two cords and matches to light the cords.
 1. The two cords are twisted from various materials and so their different segments can burn at different rates.
 2. Each cord burns from end to end in exactly one hour.

The OAuth Token.
This token is used to perform 2 legged OAuth requests.
The service provider has granted you the request token but the user has not yet authorized your application. You need to exchange this token by a proper AccessToken, but this may only happen after user has granted you permission to do so.
This is a proper 3 legged OAuth. The difference between this and ReqToken is that user has authorized your application and you can perform requests on behalf of that user.


Enabling VRRP in the global configuration context
VRRP can be configured regardless of the global VRRP configuration status. However, enabling a VR and running VRRP requires enabling it in the global configuration context.
Syntax:
[no] router vrrpIPv4|IPv6 enable|disable
Enables or disables VRRP operation in the global configuration context. for IPv4, IP routing must be enabled before enabling VRRP on the router. For IPv6, IPv6 unicast-routing must be enabled before enabling VRRP on the router. Disabling global VRRP halts VRRP operation on the router, but does not affect the current VRRP configuration. Enabling or disabling VRRP generates an Event Log message.
Note: This command has been revised from the prior router vrrp enablecommand.
To display the current global VRRP configuration, use show vrrp config global.
Default: Disabled
Syntax:
[no] router vrrp traps
Enables or disables SNMP trap generation for the following events:
New master
Indicates that the sending router has transitioned to 'master' state.
Authentication Failure
Indicates that a VRRP packet has been received from a router whose authentication key or authentication type conflicts with this router's authentication key or authentication type.
NOTE:
This feature assumes the snmp-server host command has been used to configure a a trap receiver. If a VRRP packet is received with an authentication type other than 0 (zero, that is, no authentication), the packet is dropped.
Default: Enabled
Example
Enabling and displaying the global VRRP configuration
The following commands enable VRRP at the global configuration level and then display the current global VRRP configuration:
switch(config)# router vrrp

Photoacoustic temperature measurement is a new type of thermometric technology with noninvasive, real-time, high precision and space resolution. For improving the measurement accuracy and reliability, the method of using a multiwavelength photoacoustic signal to monitor the temperature named as multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement was proposed in this paper. Based on the basic photoacoustic effect theory, the theoretical feasibility of this method was analyzed. And the experimental results from the phantom and ex-vivo tissue samples indicate that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can effectively reduce the error to smaller than 0.1 °C, and increase the accuracy of temperature measurement by more than two times. Our study demonstrated that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can potentially be a valuable method for temperature measurement during photothermal therapy or other clinic applications.

For most of the last 50 years, privately owned horses could be boarded at the stables and pastures of WRSHP. Unfortunately, the demands of running a boarding stable sometimes conflicted with preserving the Park as a public memorial to Will Rogers. Horse boarding—for the explicit purpose of establishing a regular polo program—began in 1952. At first, there were 19 boarded horses, but by 1968 there were 85 horses. By 1974 the limit had been raised to 100 horses, but 114 were actually living at the Park. During Will Rogers' lifetime, only 20 to 30 horses were on the ranch. The growth in boarding accompanied increasing public complaints of exclusivity and monopoly, finally provoking an investigation by the State Auditor General in 1974. The Auditor General found that the concessionaire had constructed new facilities without approval, and that the number of horses maintained in the park consistently exceeded the allowable maximum. It also reported testimony that the public was effectively excluded from some parts of the unit.
The Department adopted a Horse Management Plan in September, 1979. The objective of the plan was to provide more access for the visiting public and complete interpretation of the grounds at the Park. It contained the following policies:
- Continue horse presence in the unit;
- Continue polo games;
- Limit horses stabled on the grounds to 32;
- Restore Hart and Mitt Canyons [which had been cluttered with pipe corrals]; and
- Maintenance of the Stable should be a Department responsibility.
This plan remained in effect as a Commission policy until superseded in 1992 by a General Plan for the Park. The General Plan raised the maximum number of boarded horses from 32 to 45. A series of concessionaires ran equestrian activities at the Park until 1997. Initially, the Department received no fees from the concessionaires, who were expected to maintain the Polo Field in exchange for use of the facilities.
Beginning in 1963, the Department began receiving payments as well as specifying maintenance obligations. By 1967 Park managers were beginning to look to these contracts as a source of revenue. Although the Department had separate contracts for polo, riding lessons, and trail riding, it decided to combine all equestrian operations into a single concession. The idea was that a single equestrian operation would "be allowed to generate sufficient income to maintain all facilities and to coordinate all horse activities." The goal of generating income to maintain all Park facilities seems to have driven subsequent concession contracts.
By the early 1960s, complaints were mounting about the concessions. Under the initial polo contract, there was a great deal of resentment at the so-called monopoly that the concessionaire enjoyed. Once other equestrian activities were added to the concession contract, there were complaints that the number of horses exceeded the contract limit, and that the horses caused erosion problems.
By the early 1980s, the Department received citizen complaints of irregularities in the polo operation, of failure to maintain the facilities, and of exclusion of non-boarder equestrians from the park. At about this time, Will Rogers' family began to express concerns over restricting public access to the Park and inadequate maintenance of the historic Stable. Other public comments received on the draft General Plan expressed concern that the equestrian activities offered did not reflect those of the historic era, when Will Rogers played polo and enjoyed roping on his ranch. To balance the concerns about the historic Stable and the need to generate revenue to maintain the Park, the General Plan allows only 10 horses to be boarded in the stable, while raising the total number in the park to 45.
In the early 1990s, the Will Rogers Cooperative Association ran the concession. The Association's goal was to use the funds generated by the equestrian operations to restore the historic facilities and support interpretive programs. Perhaps exacerbated by the immediate need to remove boarded horses from the Stable during the restoration of that structure, their tenure was involved from the beginning in controversy with the boarders and the polo club.
When the Cooperative Association's four-year tenure ended in 1997, the Department attempted to change its approach to the situation. It contracted with a manager to run the equestrian operations, while turning maintenance of the Stable over to Park staff. When criticism continued, a second management contract was tried. Finally, the Department established the equestrian operation as a lease in February, 2000.

How did you hear about Escombe Saxon Church
A font is a basin for the Holy water used in a baptism (christening), a ceremony of sprinkling water on a person's (baby's) forehead or of totally immersing the person in water. Baptism symbolises purification or regeneration and admission into the Christian church.
The octagonal font at Escombe is at least 800 years old but could be much older. It has been carved out of a single piece of sandstone and may have been part of a Roman fountain. In late Saxon times it was the custom for babies to be totally immersed in the Holy water in the font but earlier than this, adult baptism was the usual ceremony. This could be by total immersion in a place such as the nearby river or by standing in the font, which would have been on the floor in those days.
The water in the font, which was changed once a year, was blessed at the service on Easter Sunday to be used throughout the rest of the year.
In the 13th century, the Archbishop of York ordered that fonts should be locked. This was to prevent people stealing the baptismal water and using it for superstitious practices e.g. to counteract the effects of a neighbour's curse or a witch's spell. The problem was what to do with the unused Holy water the following Easter. It could not be thrown away as a witch hiding in the churchyard might catch it to use for spells. It had to stay in Holy ground.
The nave is the main part of the church building where people sit for services.
The chancel is the part of the church containing the altar and seats for the clergy (priests, vicars, ministers) and choir. It is separated from the nave by steps or a screen.
|The sanctuary is the most sacred part of the church and is where the altar is.
Because Escombe Saxon Church was built to a very simple plan, the sanctuary and chancel are the same place, separated from the nave by a step and the chancel arch. The arch is thought to have been re-assembled from a Roman arch, brought with the rest of the stone from Binchester. The original arch was probably much lower, having all the upright stones horizontal. This wouldn't look right in such a tall building, so the Saxons put alternate stones on end to make it higher. It is a typical Anglo-Saxon arrangement, the first of its type and has been named 'Escombe Fashion' after this arch and is still called so by architects today.
|The table in the sanctuary in a Christian church at which the bread and wine are consecrated in communion services.|
These are the consecrated elements (bread and wine) of the Eucharist. They are used in the service of Holy Communion, commemorating the Last Supper (before Jesus was arrested) in which bread and wine are consecrated (made sacred) and consumed. The bread and wine represent the body and blood of Christ.
The lectern is a reading stand with a sloping top. It is tall enough for people to stand to read lessons from the Bible or to preach a sermon (a talk given by the priest or minister during the service.)
A sign signifying the Christian religion.
The stone cross behind the altar is probably older than the church and may have formed part of a preaching cross or grave cover. It is a 'green cross' or 'living cross' with rose-like flowers growing from it.
There is a 'consecration cross' cut into the stonework behind the lectern. We must remember that the stone for Escombe Church came from a Roman fort so when the church was finished, it needed to be consecrated (made sacred as a holy building.) There were originally 5 consecration crosses, the one behind the lectern and one on each corner of the church outside. Now only one of the outside crosses can still be seen.

Optional Arguments in VBScriptBy Francis Chau
A frequently asked question about VBScript is "How can I make an argument of a Function or Sub optional?" and matter of factly, it's been answered on ASPFAQs.com at _URL_ The answer to this question? VBScript does not support optional arguments, however, JScript does and the FAQ shows an example of this in JScript.
To circumvent this VBScript limitation, I will show you a technique that can be used to simulate optional arguments in VBScript that I call the Array-based approach. I'll also demonstrate the more widely accepted NULL-checking approach.
Using the Array-Based Approach
To see how to use the array-based approach for creating subroutines with optional arguments, let's start by an example subroutine:
Notice in the subroutine declaration, we've only defined one argument,
rArgs will be an array of values we would like to pass into our
The next few lines declare our local variables and initializes them to default values (empty
strings, in this case).
Next, we use the
UBound() function to determine the number of arguments passed.
Then assign the array elements to the local variables:
Since the array is zero-based, our first
Case branch assigns the first element to
v1 variable. As we need to add more arguments to our function, we can easily
We conclude our subroutine by printing out the values of our local variables.
To call this subroutine we need to create an array of the size based on the number of arguments we wish to pass into the function, and then populate this array with the values we wish to pass to the function. Finally, we pass along the created array as the single argument to the function:
Notice that you can also use the
Array constructor syntax like so:
Now that we have a way to pass only the arguments we choose using the array-based method, let's take a look at another approach at optional arguments: the NULL-checking approach, which we'll examine in Part 2.

Industry-exclusive Articulated Truck Steering
Fast, accurate cornering decreases cycle times by five percent, increasing productivity while ensuring maximum safety and unsurpassed traction for high speed hauling. Volvo's industry-exclusive steering system allows the body to always monitor the tractor unit so the operator doesn't have to correct for steering adjustments typically found in traditional articulated truck steering system.
Advantages of Volvo Steering
Volvo articulated trucks function with precision throughout the life of the articulated hauler, maximizing production and safe high speed operations. The centering steering value ensures a smooth, steady automotive "feel" to the system. Ultimately, the hydromechanics are easy to steer, even at low engine speeds and in tough off-road conditions.
 - Self-compensating, precision steering
 - Maximizes productivity
 - Outstanding operator control
 - Increased safety at high speeds
Components of Steering
A mechanical feedback rod connects to the hitch at one end, and the steering valve at the other. This centers the steering valve after any steering movement. The steering linkage joins the rack and pinion to ensure the steering angle is proportional to the number of turns of the steering wheel.

Implement Custom Activity Indicator With The SwiftUI
As you may know, SwiftUI does not have too many elegant indicators as the UIKit itself. So I have decided to implement some of the popular indicators that are already exist for the UIKit, but natively in pure SwiftUI. So it can be used for the iOS 13 with the SwiftUI 1.0 alongside with the newly widgets that apple is introduced currently. Since you know
UIKit views wrapped in UIViewRepresentable will not work in WidgetKit. When the views are encoded from your extension to be displayed they will appear blank
by Frameworks Engineer 
So I planned to implement this following these steps:
 1. Find popular animations for the 'ActivityIndicator'
Find popular animations
After some research, I've found some popular animations and I decided to start with this:
Implement animations in the pure SwiftUI (compatible with v1.0)
We aim for making these attributes dynamic:
 1. The count of the elements
So we start with this:
Note that we have to implement the isAnimating variable as a _USER_ because we want to control it from the outside of the view.
Also, make the count unsigned because negative counts doesn't make any sense.
As an overview, we need some item to be repeated and create the whole indicator. To creating them, we need access to the index of the element along side geometry of the indicator, so we can calculate the position of that item:
Note that we want all items to be fitted inside the main view, and aspectRatio(contentMode:.fit) is here to help us with that.
For this specific animation, we need to apply horizontal offset to each element due to it's index and apply proper scaling and and opacity to it:
There is 3 helpers here:
These two return correct bound of the corresponding range.
And this is just for the sake of compiling time. It returns the size of the element.
Make it available as a simple view
We need a simple initializer with some default values, so:
So far so good! Now we can use it like:
Note that how default modifiers like the foregroundColor are working as expected?
The demo view is already as simple as this UsageDemoView()
Add a modifier for the style of the Activity Indicator
For now we are passing style arguments at the initialization time of the indicator. But its not very 'SwiftUI'ly. To have a modifier for that, we are going. to extend it with a function that takes style and returns a new view as default modifiers are doing this. This will be as symple as this:
Now we can modify the indicator like a native Apple designed API:

Worksheet Overview
Greetings word detective!
Can you spot which word from the set of brackets would best finish this sentence??
Oven is to cook as refrigerator is to (store, chill, food).
First, we have to work out how the word oven is connected to the word cook. We cook in an oven, so we need to find a word which is something that we use a refrigerator for.
The correct answer is chill as we chill food in a refrigerator.
Now, let's make it more challenging.
We must pick one word from each set of brackets that can be connected to the word in front of it in the same way.
Let's look at this question:
Rest is to (relax, energy, exercise) as fit is to (exhausted, athletic, training).
First, we need to find a connection between rest and one of the words in brackets. We can connect rest to relax as they have similar meanings. These are called synonyms.
This means we need to find an synonym for fit, which is athletic.
The correct answers are relax and athletic as they are both synonyms of the words that come before them.
Let's try another:
Grape is to (vine, fruit, sweet) as raspberry is to (tree, bush, red).
First, we need to find a connection between grape and one of the words in brackets.
Vine is connected to grape as grapes grow on vines. Also fruit is connected to grape as a grape is a type of fruit.
We need to see if one of these connections can be made with raspberry and the words in brackets that are linked to it.
With raspberries, they grow on a bush.
We have found the connection!
It's the name given to the plants the fruits grow on.
Now it's your turn.
Remember to find those connections!
Connection Example
Synonyms (similar meanings) Start is to begin
Antonyms (opposite meanings) On is to off

Fair Play for Children Freedom of Information Survey on Playground Provision in England 2011
Fair Play for children undertook a survey of 326 English local authorities in the early part of 2011.
The Councils selected were Principal Authorities delivering discretionary leisure services, including play provision. In the main, this would include the London Boroughs, Unitary Authorities and District/Borough Councils where there are also County Councils.
School playgrounds were excluded.
The questions asked sought to establish:
There was a question about types of play area, many councils use a definition formulated by Fields in Trust, some do not, and this is recorded.
Also, estimate of acreage of play area space. This proved a challenge as some authorities either do not have a record, or their play areas in some cases are within parks and without fencing. In some cases, a figure of 400 sq metres was used in the calculation process.
Because Parish Councils also provide play areas, Councils were asked if they knew of any run by PCs, or other bodies, in their areas. Arising from this Fair Play has been in contact with the National Association of Parish Councils with a view to a non-FoI Survey (the FoI does not apply to Parish Councils) and this will be going ahead in co-operation with the NALC during the year.
Of the 326 Principal Councils surveyed, 300 responded, three mailings were necessary. Another 13 are pending with their responses and the remaining 13 have not responded at all and FP is considering complaints via the ICO.
So far as Fair Play for Children is aware, this is the first such national survey of play areas in England
A media story with comments can be viewed HERE
Furthermore, Fair Play has been able to calculate that, for the 11.2 million children aged under 16 years in England, this Principal Council provision provides 1 acre of such playsapce for every 752 children (or 692 per play area).
To provide playgrounds for 1 acre for every 100 children:
it is suggested you may wish to ensure you have checked appropriately about copyright of the information below with the Freedom of Information Officer of the relevent Council(s) before non-private use.

Being a Potter, the term "potter's field," as used in "they buried him in the potter's field," always intrigued me. What was, what is, a potter's field? Are there still some today?
Found the term in Matthew 27:7. After betraying Jesus, Judas gave the 30 pieces of silver back to the priests to buy a "potters field to bury strangers in." is that the first use of the term? And why there? Did the potters toss their broken pottery pieces onto this "worthless" field and so it was available for a burying ground?
Webster's says: "a burial ground for paupers or unknown persons."
Anybody have any answers or ideas to share?

I'm trying to implement an X.509 certificate generator from scratch (I know about the existing ones, but I need yet another one). What I cannot understand is how to calculate the SHA-1 (or any other) fingerprint of the certificate.
The RFC5280 says that the input to the signature function is the DER-encoded tbsCertificate field. Unfortunately, the hash that I calculate differs from the one produced by OpenSSL. Here's a step-by-step example.
 1. generate a certificate using OpenSSL's x509 tool (in a binary DER form, not the ASCII PEM)
 2. calculate its SHA-1 hash using openssl x509 -fingerprint
 3. extract the TBS field using dd (or anything else) and store it in a separate file; calculate its hash using the sha1sum utility
Now, the hashes I get at steps 2 and 3 are different. Can someone please give me a hint what I may be doing wrong?
share|improve this question
When you calculate the SHA-1 hash of the tbsCertificate, are you using PKCS#1 padding, as specified in rfc 3279? – sarnold Jan 26 '11 at 11:28
Uhm... RFC2313 (PKCS#1) only specifies RSA encryption. As far as I understand, padding is not needed at the SHA-1 computing phase? – Roman D Jan 26 '11 at 12:13
_USER_ D: Since it's not at all obvious, you should write that as an answer and accept it. – caf Jan 28 '11 at 1:52
_USER_, how do you get the thumbprint of the certificate? I'm not sure what it is. You can calculate SHA-1 of the certificate and see if it the same as thumbprint or not. – Roman D Aug 29 '12 at 9:01
_USER_, I don't have a Windows PC available right now to take a look. Maybe the thumbprint that is shown there is the hash of the public key, as described in wikipedia? – Roman D Aug 30 '12 at 5:36

Ok, so it turned out that the fingerprint calculated by OpenSSL is simply a hash over the whole certificate (in its DER binary encoding, not the ASCII PEM one!), not only the TBS part, as I thought.
For anyone who cares about calculating certificate's digest, it is done in a different way: the hash is calculated over the DER-encoded (again, not the PEM string) TBS part only, including its ASN.1 header (the ID 0x30 == ASN1_SEQUENCE | ASN1_CONSTRUCTED and the length field). Please note that the certificate's ASN.1 header is not taken into account.
share|improve this answer
you could add to your answer (or question) how you extracted the TBS part with dd exactly for future reference :) – Filipe Pina Nov 17 '11 at 17:39
Oh... That was quite a while ago, so I don't remember the details. I think I manually extracted the TBS offset and length from the hexdump of the certificate, and then used these values as dd's arguments, nothing complicated there – Roman D Nov 24 '11 at 17:46
_USER_ D your answer says 'hash over the whole certificate' in the first paragraph and 'TBS part only' in the second paragraph. Is this a mistake? And what is the TBS part of a certificate? I couldn't find anything useful from my google search. – chitti Oct 23 '12 at 17:55
_USER_ No, it is not a mistake, I even put it in italics to stress the idea. :) First paragraph is about the fingerprint, second one is about the digest. You can read about the TBSCertificate field in the RFC5280 (see 4.1.1,, 4.1.2). Basically, it is one of the required fields of a certificate (other two are signatureAlgorithm and signatureValue). – Roman D Oct 24 '12 at 3:26
_USER_ ahh.. my bad.. Thanks! :) – chitti Oct 24 '12 at 17:52
The finger print is similar to term "Thumbprint" in.net. Below code snippet should help you to compute finger print :
 public String generateFingerPrint(X509Certificate cert) throws CertificateEncodingException,NoSuchAlgorithmException {
MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
byte[] hash = digest.digest(cert.getEncoded[]);
final char delimiter = ':';
// Calculate the number of characters in our fingerprint
 // ('# of bytes' * 2) chars + ('# of bytes' - 1) chars for delimiters
 final int len = hash.length * 2 + hash.length - 1;
 // Typically SHA-1 algorithm produces 20 bytes, i.e. len should be 59
 StringBuilder fingerprint = new StringBuilder(len);
 // Step 1: unsigned byte
 hash[i] &= 0xff;
 // Steps 2 & 3: byte to hex in two chars
 // Lower cased 'x' at '%02x' enforces lower cased char for hex value!
 fingerprint.append(String.format("%02x", hash[i]));
 // Step 4: put delimiter
 if (i < hash.length - 1) {
 return fingerprint.toString();
