Women at the Well Conference
An Interdisciplinary Conference
Carroll College in Helena, Montana, a Catholic liberal arts college, is delighted to request paper abstracts and panel/workshop ideas for an interdisciplinary conference titled Women at the Well: Religion, Resilience, and Grace on March 16-17, 2018. The conference, sponsored by members of the Departments of Communication, English, Philosophy, and Theology, is being held in loving memory of Dr. Annette Moran, CSJ--Sister of Saint Joseph, theologian, Flannery O'Connor scholar, poet, and mystic--and our beloved colleague, teacher, and friend. Dr. Moran embodied the virtues of resilience and grace as she lived out her own faith and commitments to her communities.
This conference is an opportunity to explore through scholarship and reflection the role of women in various religious, ministerial, and educational contexts and the challenges and tensions marginalized peoples and cultures experience in these same contexts. How do women (and men) experience power in religious and educational institutions? What does feminine authority look like? How do place and institutional structures affect voice, visibility, and presence of marginalized individuals? If the institutions we inhabit are marked by injustice, how can we operate within these institutions without being complicit? What does it take for marginalized peoples to effect change within religious and educational institutions? Can we find grace in resistance? Can we find grace in anger? Register here

Definition of infimum in English:
The largest quantity that is less than or equal to each of a given set or subset of quantities. The opposite of supremum.
- Paman's explanation looks like our present definition of infimum and supremum, but whereas our infimum and supremum given a set (of real numbers) gives a real number, the Maximinus and Minimajus of a quantity is a quantity of the same kind.
- To ensure nondecreasing lower bounds, the hyper-rectangle to be bisected is chosen by selecting the region which contains the infimum of the minima of lower bounds.
- The infimum may or may not be a member of the subset.
1940s: from Latin, literally 'lowest part', neuter (used as a noun) of infimus 'lowest'.

Smartphones have been around for at least several years now, but they still have certain limitations. Despite having a plethora of wireless technologies built-in--Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc.--there's no simple way to transfer "clippings" of data from one device to another. But a new research project at MIT called Sparsh is aiming to fix that oversight.
Sparsh (the Hindi word for "touch") isn't an app, at least not in the way we generally use the word. It's a tool that's supposed to be part of a mobile operating system, like "undo" or "select all," running within apps at all times. It creates a virtual cloud-based clipboard where any data, like a phone number or photograph, can temporarily live until it's "pasted" to another device.
For it to work, at least two devices need to be Sparsh-enabled. A user wanting to share data becomes, in concept, an avatar for a copy-and-paste-like function. The person touches data on a device, such as a photo or text, and Sparsh sends it to the cloud. The same person then touches another device, and presto! The relevant information is pasted in as if it had been copied from the same machine.
Sparsh isn't the only tool for transferring small amounts of device-to-device data on the scene. Indeed, a popular iPhone app called Bump allows people to trade photos, apps, contact info, and even music from one phone to another simply by bumping the devices together.
Bump is very cool, but it requires both the sender and recipient to be running the app. In addition, it's not open with what it can send or where it can send it--it only works from phone to phone, and while there are many options for things it can send, there are more things it simply can't. Sparsh aims to live in the devices we use at the operating-system level, meaning it would seem intuitive to use and be available within any app for almost any type of data. … Read more

When deciding on new food to feed your rabbit, researching its safety and health benefits is always good. Rabbits are herbivores, and their digestion is significantly different from humans. As such, many rabbit owners may be wondering, "can rabbits eat cabbages"?
Since cabbage is related to broccoli, kale (see also 'Can Rabbits Eat Kale?'), and cauliflower, this article will discuss its benefits and disadvantages.

Can Rabbits Eat Cabbage?
Rabbits eat cabbage, and they also love its texture and flavor. While they are known for eating carrots, they also snack on other types of fruits and vegetables.
Cabbage is not that different from similar vegetables and is rich in nutrients. Although veterinarians often recommend green and dark leafy cabbage, there are a few other pigmented types that your rabbit may also love.
Some rabbit owners are hesitant to give cabbages to their pet rabbits because they could cause bloating. However, they are easy to digest and available on the market.
Are Cabbages Safe for Rabbits?
If you're a rabbit owner, you probably know or have heard that some vegetables are harmful to rabbits. However, cabbage is suitable for your furry friend! So if you were wondering, yes, cabbage is safe for rabbits and is also a nutritious leafy treat.
Before you rush to feed cabbage to your bunny, try breaking off a tiny piece at a time. Why? Rabbits rely on bacteria in their guts to digest their food. Therefore, they need time to adapt when their owners introduce a new treat. Rabbits can have contrasting preferences for specific foods. As a responsible owner, you must determine if cabbage is a potential dietary source for your rabbit.
Are Cabbages Healthy for Rabbits?
Cabbage is super healthy for rabbits! It's a rich source of vitamin B6, which helps your rabbit build new proteins, which are crucial for efficient muscle function. Unfortunately, some rabbits try cabbage and experience diarrhea or loose stools.
Sickness from cabbage often occurs due to overconsumption in a short period, resulting in gas and bloating. The side effects may also signify an allergic reaction. For the most part, cabbage is a harmless, non-toxic vegetable for rabbits and an excellent dietary snack.
You can mix up some cabbage with arugula or other leafy greens for a nicely diverse nutritious snack for your bunny.
Can Bunnies Eat Cabbages Every Day?
Cabbage is primarily safe for bunnies, but they shouldn't consume it daily. Instead, they need the bulk of their nutrition from hay to regulate their digestive tract and fight irregular bowel movements.
Fresh vegetables and wild plants are valuable nutrients, but they do not contain significant calories or fiber to nourish rabbits. Therefore, avoid allowing your rabbit to eat more than a handful of cabbage at the expense of eating their kibble and other foods. While rabbits are used to commercial food, they may enjoy cabbage more than crunchy bagged food. On the other hand, you're responsible for your pet's portions and must keep track of measurements and feeding times.
Adult rabbits should consume cabbage four days per week as an additional vegetable. Since their digestive systems are mature and can handle more than baby rabbits, they can eat twice the cabbage.
Cabbage is best for your rabbit when you include it as part of a regular diet. Therefore, they offer tiny portions alongside other fresh vegetables, rather than as the only source of vitamins and minerals.
Every rabbit is different, therefore it's hard to determine whether your rabbit would appreciate cabbage in advance. However, since many rabbits adore cabbage, there's a strong possibility he will love the dietary addition.
Don't worry if your rabbit dislikes cabbage and consistently leaves it on the plate. You can stop serving the cabbage and replace it with something else.
A rabbit doesn't need cabbage to be healthy, so if your pet isn't an enthusiast, search for other green choices.
If your rabbit wants to eat old cabbage leaves that have gone bad, don't leave them lying around in its enclosure or feeding bowl.
4 Crucial Factors to Consider When Feeding Cabbages to Your Rabbit
Wild rabbits prefer to eat hay and grass (see also 'Do Rabbits Eat Grass?'). Therefore, they are familiar with green leafy vegetables and consume them regularly. On the other hand, domestic rabbits often rely on garden treats to sustain their health.
Not all bunnies prefer the taste and texture of cabbage. Although cabbages contain various significant health benefits, there are a few factors to consider before introducing your rabbit to the vegetable:
1. New Food
Before you feed cabbage to your rabbit, consider offering tiny servings gradually. You can start with small portions and then increase the amount only if your rabbit adapts. Since rabbits rely on gut bacteria, which help digestion, they have to adjust to unfamiliar food.
Unfortunately, a sudden change in your bunny's diet could upset his stomach. If your pet rejects cabbage, do not force him to eat. Instead, replace the cabbage with hay and other regular dietary foods.
2. Avoid Overfeeding
As a rabbit owner, you are responsible for your rabbit's diet. Therefore, it would be best to avoid overfeeding and serve only two to four leaves per week to satisfy his nutritional needs. Monitoring your rabbit's consumption is critical to its health.
3. Research Health Benefits
Cabbage is rich in vitamins B6, K, and minerals such as calcium and potassium.
Vitamin B6 helps your rabbit's digestive system process protein. The component is also crucial for strengthening muscles and stimulating proteins in your pet's body.
Calcium and potassium are necessary for growth and keeping bones and teeth in excellent shape. They are also essential for your rabbit's joints and peripheral nervous system.
4. Consider Health Risks
While cabbages do not pose a threat, some rabbits can't handle their nutrients.
Overeating could cause excessive gas in your rabbit's digestive system. On the other hand, practicing caution and awareness may solve the problem.
You can spot issues by observing your rabbit's behavior. If your rabbit is healthy, it will eat cabbage without a problem. However, if your pet hesitates or refuses, something could be wrong.
Some rabbits may exhibit fatigue and lethargy, while others experience abdominal pains or bowel issues. The symptoms are early signs that your rabbit is going through unbearable pain or discomfort. If your rabbit develops bloating or diarrhea, stop serving cabbage immediately.
Can Rabbits Eat Cabbage Leaves?
Rabbits can consume cabbage leaves and enjoy their crunchy texture. However, all vegetables are heavily sulfurous, which might upset the digestive tract.
Since rabbits are incapable of flatulence, gastric disruptions can be dangerous. However, cabbage can supply your rabbit with abundant nutrients and roughage.
Aside from giving raw cabbage to your rabbit, you can also include fruits in your rabbit's diet. Blackberries, blueberries, and plums are great treats to feed your rabbit.
Can Bunnies Consume Cabbages?
Baby rabbits should stay away from cabbage because their systems are still developing.
Newborn bunnies should only drink their mother's milk for the first seven weeks. Afterward, alfalfa hays and pellets should become significant foods in their diet. You can also start feeding your baby rabbit grass hays at six months.
Cabbage should only be fed to rabbits when at least one-year-old.
Cabbage, regardless of color, is a good vegetable for rabbits. However, it is not a staple food or a substitute for a nutritious, well-balanced dinner.
As a delicious addition to vegetables and leafy greens, cabbage contains an abundance of nutrients that rabbits can use to their advantage.

Ports are faster than packages?

Yes. Which means no. :-)
In general, the set of options with which the binary packages
are built by the FreeBSD port building and delivering systems
is to make sure the port works well in most possible cases.
For edge cases, where different compile-time options might
be needed, the user has no other choice than building from
source. This enables two possibilities:
1. increasing features, which might increase resource usage
 and add further dependencies, or
2. reduce features, and apply platform-specific optimization,
 which can lead to faster programs.
Especially the part of options that effect optimization has
been a valuable help in the past, for example, when you
wanted to run a program on a low-spec system, you could
add optimization for that system, and the program would
then run faster than the corresponding "canned" package.
Technically, a port installed from source is nothing else
than a binary package: The building process creates a
package, the package is then installed. It doesn't matter
to pkg if a package comes from a local source of from the
FreeBSD server. _That_ doesn't make anything slower or
faster. But as I said, tweaking the options to deviate
from the standard building options _can_ have that effect,
but it can also have the exact opposite effect.
So the difference is not "port or package", because it's
the same, the difference is what options have been in
effect when building from source, no matter where that
happens.

Reply To: Tip: simulate post grid (for specific pages)
Jason Bobich
This is sort of tough to do from the custom query option because in all ways (that I know of anyway) to specify specific pages would not be possible within a single string.
I can think of two ways where actually feeding pages through to the post grid would be possible the way things are setup.
1) Take the pages you want to be in the post grid and set them as Child pages to some Parent page. Then in your custom query string you'd do this:
Where "123" is the numerical post ID for the Parent page, to which you want the child pages below it to show. Note that by using the custom query string in any post grid, you're overriding the number of posts normally generated for you based on the columns/rows. So, you need to specify that, as well.
2) Now, this is super hacky, but an interesting thing I just thought of. Internally, there is a filter on the query string every time a post grid is generated. But there's no way to really identify this filter with a specific post grid instance.
In your instance of the Post grid, you could use the "query" option to pass in some unique identifier to use as a "catch" from your PHP function that you're going to attach to the filter for all post grid queries.
So, for example, setup a post grid and for the query option write something like:
Now from your Child theme's functions.php you can filter onto the query string for all post grids and use that identifier to trigger some custom query string.
 * Custom query for post lists/post grids
function my_custom_posts_query( $query, $args ){
 if( $args['query'] =='my_unique_key' ){
 $query = array(
 'post_type' => 'page',
 'post__in' => array( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) // ID's for any pages you want to include
 return $query;
add_filter( 'themeblvd_posts_args','my_custom_posts_query', 10, 2 );

Tom asked: How do I remove spray on sunscreen from a tile floor? My daughter has been using spray on sunscreen in the kitchen. The area where she's been doing this has a thin, sticky film that I can't seem to scrub off the floor. It's waterproof, of course, so any type of soap and water doesn't work. It won't go away, and the stickiness attracts dirt like a magnet. Please help.
Spray on sunscreen is meant to stay in place no matter what elements it is exposed to. While this is a great feature for sun protection, it can make it difficult to remove from other surfaces. Though it may seem harmless, over time, sunscreen can leave a stain if allowed to set on a surface. It is best to remove it promptly and completely following the instructions below.
You Will Need:
- Soap or detergent
- Household ammonia
- Soft cloths or sponges
- Soft towels
Steps to Remove the Sunscreen:
- Fill the bucket with warm to hot water.
- Add the appropriate amount of soap or detergent.
- Add a small amount of ammonia to the water. This is the component that will help to cut through the water-proof barrier of the sunscreen.
- Agitate the water to mix the soap and ammonia.
- Moisten the soft cloth or sponge with the mixture and use it to gently scrub the area clean. Repeat until all of the sunscreen is removed.
- Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and a clean cloth.
- Dry with a soft towel.
Additional Tips and Ideas
- For a quick clean-up, spray the area with Windex and wipe with a soft cloth. The ammonia in the Windex may be enough to cut through the sunscreen so that it can be removed.

from deep wells in of Bo Kluea District, Nan, has been carried out for many centuries by using traditional wood-based stoves. This study aims to improve thermal efficiency of traditional stoves, while tradition stove structures and salt making methods were maintained. The prototype and tradition stove were compared by thermal efficiency method. The tradition stove was constructed with clay. The prototype chimney stoves have been making from brick plastered with cement. The prototype chimney stove was insulated by filling rich hush in the gap of stove wall which has 3 cm. thicknesses and the end of the chimney. The stove can put 2 pans. Eucalyptus woods were used be fuel for testing the thermal efficiency. The prototype stove increases thermal efficiency approximately by 5.3 percents form normally 9.6 percents. This is achieved by using carbonized rice husk as stove insulating materials to reduce heat loss through stove walls. Salt production cycles are decreased by 25 minutes from 4.5-5 hours and the rate of fuel per day decreased 14-15 kilograms from 257 kg of firewood. Costs to improve salt production stoves 1,545 THB have a Pay-back period 107 days. The improved prototype chimney stove can help to decrease fuel costs and increase the salt production rate. This research is not only saving energy but also keep tradition of local living. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The principle of the electrical capacitance properties to measure paddy rice moisture content is presented in this paper. The aim of this research is to design a low-cost paddy rice moisture content meter. Paddy rice was packed in a 600 cm3 cylindrical plastic container with the diameter of 9 centimeters and the length of 10 centimeters. The integrated circuit ICL8038 was applied to generate the frequency signal. After that, the capacitor in ICL8038 circuit was replaced by the cylindrical plastic container. Paddy rice capacitance was computed and applied to model the moisture content equation by using the second-order polynomial regression. The microcontroller (ATmega1280) was applied to calculate the moisture content and the calculation was demonstrated on 20 × 4 LCD display. Weight of each sample of paddy rice was 354 grams. The results of moisture content equation evaluated were 97.91% accurate. The examination results showed paddy rice moisture content was 97.83% accurate. The moisture content measurement range was 6% to 22% wet basis. © 2015 Institute of Control, Robotics and Systems - ICROS.

A cylindrical triode charger for unipolar diffusion charging of aerosol particles was designed, constructed, and evaluated. The corona discharge characteristics were studied in this cylindrical triode charger. For the process the current-voltage characteristics were determined, as were the ion number concentration, the n it product, and the mean charge per particle as a function of particle diameter. The discharge and charging currents, and ion number concentration in the charging zone of the charger increased monotonically with corona voltage. The negative corona had a higher current than the positive corona. At the same corona voltage, the ion number concentration in the discharge zone was larger than the charging current for positive and negative coronas, with values of about 197 and 32 times and 645 and 99 times for the ion-driving voltages of 0 and 310V, respectively. The average ion penetration for positive and negative coronas was 0.64 and 0.19% and 3.62 and 1.93% for the ion-driving voltages of 0V and 310V, respectively. The higher flow rate, shorter residence time, gave a lower N it product. By calculation 14% of charged particles of 10nm in diameter were lost to the outer cylinder because of the electrostatic field effect. The charger does not use a sheath of air flow along the walls or the perforated screen opening, it has low diffusion and space charge losses due to the short column charging zone, and is a low complexity and inexpensive system. It worked as well as more sophisticated and expensive commercially available chargers. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

This machine is used for opening raw fibre bales. The main characteristics of the Cretes pre-opener are the high capacities that can be achieved and the robust design.
The machine opens the material in a rough way and this to make it lighter for downstream processes.
Its capacity is 3 to 9 tons/h (with a material density of 150 kg/m³) depending on the density and condition of the straw to process. The ideal straw length ranges from an average of 400mm to 600mm. Longer fibres must be cut beforehand, for example with a HAK guillotine cutter.
The straw to be treated (in bales or as bulk) is brought to the infeed conveyor by means of a storage conveyor. The material is opened between two rotating drums equipped with spikes. The lower drive drum spreads the material and the distributor drum on top opens or slows down the straw. Both drums can be equipped with different types of spikes.

5 Strategies to manage activity storage costs in Dynamics 365
Storage of activities in Dynamics 365 can become costly, especially if large amounts of data are stored. Activity storage refers to customer activities, such as emails, appointments, tasks and other interactions, within the Dynamics 365 environment.
The cost of storing activities can vary depending on the Dynamics 365 plan you use, the number of users, the number of activities generated, and the length of time you choose to store the data. As data accumulates over time, it can increase storage requirements and potentially result in higher costs.
Consider the following 5 tips to effectively manage activity storage costs:
1 Data interest policy
Define data retention policies based on your business needs. For example, you can choose to keep certain types of activities for a specific period of time and then delete or archive older data to reduce storage space usage.
2 Clearing and archiving policy
Review and clean up unnecessary or obsolete activities regularly. Archiving historical data to a separate storage system can help cut costs while still maintaining access to older records. Microsoft recently announced that they are moving the Description column of emails older than 12 months to unstructured Azure Blob storage. This will actually reduce your database storage and increase your file storage, which will help many organizations reduce costs. For larger organizations, however, this may be limited because you cannot currently change the threshold, and the search options are not ideal. We have developed custom solutions for our customers that can get around these limitations by using Azure Cosmos and Virtual Entities.
3 Use monitors
Monitor storage consumption and volume of activity to identify unexpected spikes or trends. This can help you prepare for potential cost adjustments and optimize the use of storage.
4 Optimize activity tracking
Track only essential activities that add value to your business. Reducing unnecessary tracking can help control storage growth.
5 Consider different licensing options
Depending on your organization's needs, educate yourself about different Dynamics 365 plans and licensing options to find the most cost-effective solution.

Russian Peasants Go To Court
How Different a Justice?
Bleaching canvas on the roof of a peasant home in winter, Moscow Province.
From the collection of Mikhail Zolotarev.
The final chapter of Russian Peasants Go to Court considers the significance of peasant jurisprudence, and presents an account of peasant legal practice strongly at odds with received ideas about peasant traditionalism and backwardness. The township courts of rural Russia provide a window on the values of peasant litigators and on participatory social transformation in rural Russia during the early twentieth century.

Lazy Loading Data with ListBox
The ListBox is a great control for showing users lists of data, even data with lots and lots of rows. But the ListBox, being a UI control, is not meant to also be a container for hundreds of thousands of rows of data. It can take noticeable amount of time to to populate and you end up with your data being duplicated because it exists in both the ListBox and the original source (file, database or other data structure).
One way to avoid this problem is to not actually load all the data at once. This is often a great idea because the user can't actually see all the data at once anyway. So why not only load the data they can actually see?
One way to do this is to use a ScrollBar to track the data the user wants to see and then to only load that data into the ListBox.
To demonstrate this, start by creating a simple class as a container for data. The class structure is like this:
Class ListData
 Property Num As Integer
 Property Value As Double
 Property Desc As String
End Class
On Window1, add a property that is an array of this class:
Data() As ListData
Now on Window1, add two Buttons, a Vertical Scroll Bar and a ListBox. Align the ScrollBar so that it is to the right of the ListBox and the same height and change its Allow Live Scrolling property to True (ON). Change the ListBox to have 3 columns using the Column Count property in the Inspector. In the Open event of the Window add 1 million elements to the Data array:
 For i As Integer = 1 To _PHONE_
 Var d As New ListData
 d.Num = i
 d.Value = Rnd()
 d.Desc = "Testing"
In the Action event of the 1st Button, add this code to load the entire 1 million element array into the ListBox:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = True
ScrollBar1.Visible = False
For i As Integer = 0 To Data.LastRowIndex
 Listbox1.AddRow(Data(i).Num.ToString, Data(i).Value.ToString, Data(i).Desc)
Pretty standard stuff. Now in the 2nd Button's Action event add this code, which populates the ListBox only with the first 50 rows:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = False
ScrollBar1.Visible = True
ScrollBar1.MinimumValue = 0
ScrollBar1.MaximumValue = Data.LastRowIndex
ScrollBar1.Value = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To 50
Lastly add the ValueChanged event to the ScrollBar with this code, which fetches 50 rows after the value of the ScrollBar:
For i As Integer = Me.Value To Me.Value + 50
 If i <= Data.LastRowIndex Then
 End If
Now go ahead and run the project. Click the first button to see how long it takes to populate the ListBox. It took my computer about 11 seconds. You can scroll around at a reasonable speed, although it's a bit unwieldy with that many rows. Another thing to note is that this uses about 750MB of RAM.
Now click the second button that does the lazy loading. It will show the first bunch of rows instantly. Use the scrollbar to display other rows and you'll see they are also displayed instantly even thought they are not technically in the ListBox. This also uses only about 110MB of RAM.
Now this is just a quick example (download here) and doesn't handle every situation, but you can certainly expand on it as needed. If you'd rather not create this yourself, another option is to try 3rd party ListBox or DataView controls which have this built-in. You can find some on our 3rd Party Product page:

Description
Computing the free variables of a term.
The distinction between rigid and strongly rigid occurrences comes from: Jason C. Reed, PhD thesis, 2009, page 96 (see also his LFMTP 2009 paper)
The main idea is that x = t(x) is unsolvable if x occurs strongly rigidly in t. It might have a solution if the occurrence is not strongly rigid, e.g.
x = f -> suc (f (x ( y -> k))) has x = f -> suc (f (suc k))
Jason C. Reed, PhD thesis, page 106
Under coinductive constructors, occurrences are never strongly rigid. Also, function types and lambdas do not establish strong rigidity. Only inductive constructors do so. (See issue 1271).

HomeMavenMaven - skip tests?
Maven – skip tests?
In this quick guide, we discuss several use cases on how to skip unit test cases using maven mvn command when you are working with clean install or package a build.
Skipping tests is bad idea, but there might be situations where we need to skip tests in some environments (for example local) or we might need to build application without compiling and running tests, as tests are outdated. Let's see how we can skip tests with Maven.
1. maven.test.skip=true
Define maven.test.skip system property and value should be true in pom.xml or from command line, Maven will skip the tests. In this tutorial, to run tests, we used install and package phases and configured Maven Surefire Plugin. Let's see an example.
1.1. From Command line
Skip tests in install or package phase.
$ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true OR $ mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
Results:
3 Phases, 1. Copying test resources, 2. Compiling test sources and 3. Tests are skipped
1.2. From pom.xml configuration
If you would like to skip tests by default, you need to define maven.test.skip in pom.xml and set value true. This value can be changed to false using command line flag -Dmaven.test.skip=false to not to skip tests.
In pom.xml:
 <properties>
 <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
 </properties>
The above configuration skips all the tests by default when you build application using maven. To not skip tests, you need to set -Dmaven.test.skip value as false.
$ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
2. skipTests=true
In some cases, you may require compile test sources and only just need to skip tests. Similarly maven.test.skip, you can define system property skipTests from command line or in pom.xml.
From Command:
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests OR $ mvn clean package -DskipTests
Results: Only skips running tests, and Copying test resources, Compiling test sources phase will not be skipped.
In pom.xml:
 <properties>
 <skipTests>true</skipTests>
 </properties>
To not skip tests, use command $ mvn clean package -DskipTests=false.
3. Maven surefire plugin
Alternatively skipTests property can define in surefire plugin. By default all tests will be skipped.
 <properties>
 <skipTests>true</skipTests>
 </properties>

 <plugin>
 <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
 <configuration>
 <skipTests>${skip.tests}</skipTests>
 </configuration>
 </plugin>
To not skip tests, you have to use following command.
$ mvn clean package -Dskip.tests=false
4. Skip Tests on specific environment
For example, you would need to skip tests on Local environment and should continue on other environments like Prod or QA, we can use Maven Profiles.
 <profiles>
 <profile>
 <id>local</id>
 <properties>
 <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
 </properties>
 </profile>
 </profiles>
To run profile, following command can be used.
$ mvn clean package -Plocal
5. Conclusion
In this tutorial, we covered how to skip unit test cases using maven mvn command when you are working with clean install or package a build.

Museum of the Cape Fear
The Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville is the third regional branch of the North Carolina Museum of History and the only one that began as a branch museum. (The other two regional branches, the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City and the Gateway Museum in Old Fort, operated independently before coming under the Museum of History's umbrella.) The free-admission Museum of the Cape Fear opened in 1987 with funding assistance from the Historic Fayetteville Foundation and with Rodney Barfield as its first curator. It introduces visitors to the history and culture of southeastern North Carolina through exhibits, lectures, and workshops and, as part of its mission as a regional branch, offers expertise to the nonstate historical museums, sites, and agencies in its 20-county service area.
The museum features permanent exhibits on the history of the Piedmont and the lower North Carolina coast from early Native American settlements through the Civil War period. Exhibits on transportation in the region, Fayetteville history (including the devastating 1831 fire), and an 1890 potter's shop are of particular interest. Visitors and school groups are drawn to the temporary exhibit gallery, where changing exhibits have highlighted, among other subjects, African American women in the Cape Fear, traditional crafts of the region, and the region's archaeology. A meeting room provides space for programs, lectures, and films.

Flowstone-HeaderVOICE RECOGNITION Command Your Robot!
FLOWSTONE WORKSHOP 18-6FLOWSTONE WORKSHOP 18-7It wasn't that long ago that voice recognition was a pipe dream. But now that advances in processing power have made this technology almost commonplace with most smart phones incorporating some form of voice recognition built in, how can we use this to command our robots?
FLOWSTONE WORKSHOP 18-9
One option is to determine a way to attach an Android smart phone to the robot and then write an Android application to transmit the instruction signals from the phone to the robot hardware. Another way would be to use dedicated hardware which is surprisingly accessible and lost cost.
The benefit of being able to use a phone system is that the voice recognition applications in phones are pre-programmed to recognize words spoken in English from any- one… provided they speak clearly. The hard- ware systems that are available today, generally, are limited to recognizing a single voice and need to be trained to recognize the need- ed word and phrase commands. Hardware solutions can also be less robust given that another person will have difficulty initiating verbal commands effectively and variances in background noise can reduce the chances of recognition dramatically. An advantage to using hardware is that you can use any language or even make up your own words!
THE HARDWARE
We opted for the hardware solution and decided to use a Voice Recognition Click board from Mikroelektronika connected to our own FlowPaw hardware. The VR Click board comes with a nice PC application which records your own voice and assigns an ID to each command. When the board recognizes a command it sends a serial ID to the FlowPaw board which in-turn sends it back to the PC via FlowStone so you can make decisions on what to do with it. The VR Click board can process up to 200 voice commands which should be enough for most applications.
PLUG & PLAY
The MikroElektronika system is quite easy to use, the board is connected to the PC via USB, the recording application lets you hit "record" to say your sentence and it automatically assigns the sentence an ID. Set the serial mode plug into your FlowPaw board and you're ready to start working in FlowStone. From here you connect the soft- ware equivalent of the Voice Recognition board to the FlowPaw module and you're off. Each time you say a pre-programmed word the board detects it and outputs its unique ID (phrase, 1,2,3,4 etc.). Now the fun starts – what can you command?
FLOWSTONE WORKSHOP 18-8
YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND
Once in the FlowStone environment the VR IDs can be used to trigger just about any- thing, one of the first things we did was us the IDs to turn on some LEDs on a screen, Red, Yellow, Green, etc. but then we started to get creative. One fun project was to pro- gram the names of music tracks and command Spotify using their unique track URLs, but before long we had it mounted on our FlowPaw rover with the idea to drive it around using voice commands!
FLOWSTONE WORKSHOP 18-10COME ON ROVER!
One of the special things about the FlowPaw/FlowStone combination is that if you use the Bluetooth wireless Claw module, your robotics hardware is free to roam but still have all of the main processing happen on the PC via telemetry. The big advantage of this is that you can leave your robot hardware on the floor and concentrate on developing your code in real-time on the fly on the PC. This saves hours when programming as there is no code/compile/download/test cycle.
EXAMPLE
Imagine we want our Rover to advance for 1 second on a voice command. We could pro- gram the VR Click to recognize "Forward One" and let's say the output id assigned is '01' in FlowStone. We would then need to code "if id = 01 turn on both wheel motors for one second". We could do this in one of two ways: 1) using a FlowStone Equals module and a Timed Pulse module to select a motor value of 999 using the Select module, Or 2) using the Ruby code module where we could code the decision and use an event timer. Both work equally well so the choice is up to the programmer. We can see how building up each command to output different values a robot command system can become quite sophisticated. And we can, of course, combine any combination of decoding to control a range of actions/activities. If you happen to have an X10 home automation control box, you can even turn the lights and TV on and off, etc.
CONCLUSION
Getting hardware voice recognition capability into a robot is now a reality and it is surprisingly easy to use thanks to a new breed of Voice Recognition chips. In this project we were able to get things going in a matter of minutes and working with Voice Recognition connected to and controlling various pieces of hardware is great fun as well as educational. There can be limitations like single voice and sensitivity to background noise but on the whole it proves to be quite reliable and consistent.

What is a Thermal Lance?
A Thermic Lance is a steel pipe packed with mixed metal wires.
Pure oxygen gas is passed through the pipe from an oxygen cylinder and regulator. The end of the pipe is lit with a high temperature source, e.g. an oxy-acetylene torch. The iron in the steel burns in the oxygen coming down the pipe to produce enormous heat and a liquid slag of iron oxides and other materials, which dribbles and splashes out, just like an enormous firework sparkler.
The temperature reached in the centre of the combustion zone is approx. 4000 degrees Celsius, greater than the melting point of any substance on earth. By the way of comparison, concrete melts at 1800 - 2500 degrees Celsius and steel at less than 1500 degrees Celsius. Also, because it runs on oxygen, the lance can cut underwater.

It's an invaluable tool for IT administrators and professionals, as it helps them stay on top of their organization's Group Policy settings.
RSoP works by collecting data from the computer's registry as well as from Active Directory. It then creates a report detailing which policies are applied to the user or computer, including information about any security settings that may be in effect. This report can be used to troubleshoot issues, verify policy configurations, or identify potential security risks.
Using RSoP is easy – all you need to do is open up the command line and type 'rsop.msc'. The tool will then generate a report for both the user and computer policies currently in effect. The report will include detailed information about each setting, including its source (whether it was applied through a domain-based policy or local policy), when it was last modified, and who made the change.
RSoP is an incredibly powerful tool that can save IT administrators hours of time when managing their organization's Group Policy settings. It's also an excellent resource for security professionals who are looking to ensure their organization's data remains secure. So if you're looking for a way to easily track and manage your Group Policies, give RSoP a try!
How to Use RSoP to Check and Troubleshoot Group Policy Settings 1
Differences Between Gpresult and RSoP
Gpresult and RSoP are both command-line tools used to display applied group policies. However, there is an important difference between the two tools. Gpresult is a more comprehensive tool that can show all the possible sets of applied policies to the user and computer, while RSoP will only display a limited set of group policies that were applied to the computer. Gpresult can also provide more detailed information about each policy, including its source, type, and any exceptions that have been applied. Therefore, if you need a full picture of the applied group policies on a system or user account, Gpresult is the better choice.
The Difference Between RSoP and GPedit
The main difference between Group Policy Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) and GPEDIT.MSC is the scope of their functionality. RSoP provides a detailed report on the settings that have been applied to a user or computer based on all the Group Policy Objects (GPOs) from both local and domain sources, while GPEDIT.MSC is used to manage only the local Group Policy settings. RSoP can help you identify all the GPOs that are applied to a user or computer, whereas GPEDIT.MSC is useful for making changes to any of the local GPOs.
Can RSoP Be Run on a Remote Computer?
Yes, you can run the Resultant Set Of Policy (RSoP) tool on a remote computer. To do this, you must first install the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on a computer with administrative rights. Once the GPMC is installed, you can use it to connect remotely to the target computer and then run an RSoP query to view detailed information about what policy settings are applied. You can also use the GPMC to create and deploy policy changes to the remote computer as well.
Checking RSoP Results
In order to check your Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) results, you'll need to open the command line interface on your computer. Once the command line is open, type in rsop.msc and hit enter. After a moment, the RSoP report should appear on your screen. This report will contain information about the user and computer policy settings on your machine, as well as any changes that have been made in the past.
You can also use the RSoP to compare different user or computer policies for potential conflicts between them. In addition, it's possible to view the effects of policy changes before they are applied by using the simulation option within RSoP.
Once you have finished checking your RSoP results, you can close the command line interface and continue working with whatever other tasks you may have.
Understanding the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP)
A Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP) is a tool used to help administrators understand the effect of Group Policy settings in an Active Directory environment. It allows administrators to query existing and planned policies and then report the results of those queries. This helps administrators quickly identify the impact of Group Policy on user and computer accounts.
RSoP can be used to troubleshoot policy issues by providing a detailed report of all Group Policies that are being applied, including any conflicts between them. It also provides information about when a policy was applied and which client computer it was applied to. This can help identify potential problems with policies before they cause serious issues.
RSoP is especially useful for tracking down issues with users who may not be able to access resources or who have unexpected behavior because of conflicting or unapplied policies. By running an RSoP query, administrators can quickly determine what policies are causing the issue and adjust them accordingly.
Overall, RSoP is an invaluable tool for managing Group Policy in an Active Directory environment, as it provides quick visibility into how the policies are affecting users and computers.
The Impact of Group Policy on Resultant Outcomes
Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) is a feature of Group Policy that provides an administrative tool for analyzing the impact of Group Policy settings on users and computers in Active Directory. RSoP allows administrators to view the effective settings from all GPOs that are applied to a user or computer, as well as any conflicts between the policies. This report can be used to troubleshoot issues related to Group Policy, verify if certain policies are being applied correctly, and detect any policy misconfigurations. RSoP also allows administrators to identify any potential security risks resulting from Group Policy settings, and make changes as necessary.
Tools for Performing RSoP Analysis
Group Policy Result (gpresult) is a command-line tool that allows you to quickly analyze the RSoP data on a computer. It can provide you with a detailed report of the settings applied to the current user and computer, as well as any policy settings that have been filtered out or not applied.
Group Policy Update (gpupdate) is another command-line tool that allows you to quickly refresh local policy settings on a computer. This can be useful if you need to update the RSoP data on a specific computer without having to wait for a scheduled synchronization.
Finally, the RSoP snap-in allows you to view and analyze all RSoP data for computers in an Active Directory domain. This snap-in provides an interactive graphical interface for exploring the data, allowing you to get an in-depth look at which policies are being applied and what their settings are.
Retrieving GPResult from a Remote Computer
To get GPResult from a remote computer, you can use the gpresult /s command followed by the name of the remote computer. This command will display the Group Policy information and settings on that remote computer or server. In order to make sure that your connection is secure, you should ensure that you are using a secure connection when running this command. Additionally, you should also have administrative privileges on the remote computer in order to make changes to its configuration.
Running a GPResult Report
To run a GPResult report, you must first open the command prompt. Once the prompt is open, type in 'gpresult' followed by any desired parameters. The parameters you can use are as follows:
/h – Generates an HTML report of policy settings.
/scope – Specifies the scope of the query (user or computer).
/r – Displays only RSoP information for the specified user and computer.
/v – Verbose mode, which displays all settings applied from all GPOs.
/z – Displays RSoP information in XML format.
/s – Specifies a remote computer to generate the report on.
/u [\] – User to generate RSoP information on the local computer.
For example, if you wanted to generate an HTML report of policy settings for a specific user and computer, you would type in 'gpresult /h /r /u [domain]\[username]' into the command prompt and hit enter to run it.
Does GPResult Show Computer Policies?
Yes, GPResult does show computer policies. The gpresult command is a helpful tool for displaying the resulting set of policy settings that were enforced on the computer for the specified user when they logged on. The /v and /z options provide a comprehensive report of the Group Policy settings that are applied to the specified user and computer, including any applicable computer policies. To get an even more detailed report, you can redirect the output to a text file by using the syntax "gpresult/z >policy".
Does the Default Domain Policy Appear in GPResult?
Yes, the Default Domain Policy is one of the policies that will show in GPResult. GPResult displays a list of all Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that are applied to both the computer and the user, including the Default Domain Policy. This policy contains settings that apply to all users and computers in the domain, such as security settings and network access rules. When you run GPResult, it will also display information such as policy settings, GPO processing time, and any errors that occurred while processing the policies.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) is a powerful tool that provides valuable insight into the group policy settings applied to a user or computer. It is able to report on


Address Number Methodology
If you need a physical address for a new structure, call the 9-1-1 Administrative Office at _PHONE_. A "physical address" is also known as an "official 9-1-1 address." When you call the 9-1-1 Administrative Office, make sure you have a physical address for a nearby structure to help us locate your site on the 9-1-1 Map. We do not assign addresses to open land … your structure must at least be staked out so we can identify the approximate location of the center of the structure.
The addressing methodology used in Franklin County was adopted to enable our "first responders" to reach citizens requiring emergency services in the shortest time possible with the least amount of confusion. For public safety reasons, we strive for consistency in our addressing of structures throughout Franklin County. However, there is not complete consistency across the County. For the most part, the cities, towns and villages in the County took responsibility for addressing the structures in their communities and the methodologies used are not the same in many cases.
Road Address Determination
Generally, primary structures in the County are addressed to the road they face unless there is no immediately identifiable access to the structure. Consideration is given to the means of "access" to the structure if access is a substantial distance from the road it faces. The optimal situation is when a structure faces the same road from which the driveway to the structure extends. In the event that a structure is a substantial distance from the road it faces and there is no driveway from that road but there is a driveway from another road, the structure will be addressed to the road with the access.
Address Number Determination
On East/West Roads, odd numbers are on the north side and even numbers are on the south side
On North/South Roads, odd numbers are on the west side and even numbers are on the east side
Address numbers increase as you travel north and as you travel east.
Address numbers decrease as you travel south and as you travel west.
How You Can Help "First Responders"
Make sure your Address Number is displayed so that it can be seen from the road. If your structure is a significant distance from the road, display your Address Number on your mail box or on a sign post at the end of your driveway.

Riding on a knifeboard
This model is of a Tilling horse-drawn omnibus from the 1880s. It is an example of the 'knifeboard' design which had extra seating on the roof on which passengers sat back to back. It was nick-named 'knifeboard' because the seats resembled a knife-cleaning board.
Tilling omnibus service
Thomas Tilling started his bus service in the 1840s. By 1901 he had a total of 220 horse-drawn buses. His main depot was on Rye Lane in Peckham, but he also had other offices in the City and the West End. The bus company was only part of his transport business. He also provided horses and carriages for weddings and other special occasions.
End of horse power
By the time the First World War began, the success of motorised buses had made horse-drawn omnibuses redundant. The last recorded horse omnibus in London was a Tilling bus. It ran its last journey between Peckham and Honor Oak Tavern on 4 August 1914.

Coat changes from birth to the second winter coat in a long haired variety of Fallow deer are described and compared with normal deer. The long haired deer are characterised by a dense, curly crown and long tufts of hair growing from the ears. The long haired coat always contained a high proportion of growing hairs in contrast to the normal coat in which there were discrete generations of growing hairs. The difference between the long haired and normal deer was most marked in the first winter when the hairs of the long coat were longer and finer than normal and tended to be easily wetted in contrast to the normal coarse winter coat.

Bad or Badly: Instead of Feeling Badly, Just Feel Bad
Bad is an adjective that is used with linking verbs (verbs of being, such as be, become, seem, feel, taste, look, smell).
 - Don't feel bad about slamming my hand in the car door; it happens all the time.
 - I feel bad about dropping you off in the middle of the highway, but I'm running really late.
 - He looks bad; it must be the flu.
 - This soup tastes bad; it reminds me of my grandmother's cooking.
Badly is an adverb, and it describes how you do something (or, as some would say, it modifies a verb–as long as it isn't a linking verb). She sings badly means that you cover your ears whenever she breaks into her operatic rendition of I Will Survive. He swings the bat badly could mean that he swings it so erratically that he has to yell heads up! every time he steps up to the plate.
To feel badly means that your sense of touch is, as the phrase goes, out of whack. This tastes badly means that the food you're talking about is actually what's doing the tasting, and it's somehow doing it in a bad way. Talk about bad taste!

9. Integrating the plug-in into Hydra Modeller
Turning an app into a hydra modeller plugin requires creating an exe of your code (see Creating an executable of your code), putting it into a pre-defined folder structure (:see: folder_structure) along with a plugin xml.
9.1. Plugin XML
Hydra Modeller uses a plugin XML file to describe the required inputs to the plugin as well as the icon it will use when displaying the button in the user interface.
The main information in the XML file is as follows:
 - The plugin name
 - The plugin location (the location of the exe)
 - The plugin description
 - The epilog
 - Icons (large (32x32px) and small (16x16 px))
 - Mandatory arguments
 - Non-Mandatory arguments
 - Switches
For each argument, there are the following details. They should be familiar from the arguments we defined in the plugin:
 - The name that will be displayed in the UI (human readable)
 - The switch (in our plugin, these would be '-n' and '-s')
 - The argtype (string, integer etc. There are a few wildcards such as 'network', 'scenario' and 'template' which allow the UI to provide a drop-down rather than asking the user to remember the ID of the network they are working on!
 - The help is a string of text that is displayed when the user clicks on the argument in the UI
The Export JSON file is below in full. Notice that there is 1 switch defined. This is here purely to show what a switch would look like and does not have any reference to the code we have looked at until now.
<plugin_info>
 <plugin_name>Export JSON</plugin_name>
 <plugin_dir>ExportCSV.exe</plugin_dir>
 <plugin_description>Export a network saved in Hydra to a JSON file.</plugin_description>

 <help>Export as an XML file instead of a JSON file.</help>
 </arg>
 </switches>
 </plugin_info>
All arguments are defined inside an <arg></arg> tag, and must define a <name> That will be shown in the UI, <switch> (-n for network, for example), <multiple> which defines whether multiple of this argument can be provided, <allownew> which if set to 'Y' allows the user in the UI create a new network <argtype> which states the type of the argument, be it a date, string, integer or even network or scenario. The latter options create a drop-down in the UI. The <help> tag allows users of the UI to see exactly what the argument is for.
An example of a full <arg> tag might be:
<arg>
 <name>nodes</name>
 <switch>-n</switch>
 <multiple>Y</multiple>
 <argtype>file</argtype>
 <help>One or multiple files containing nodes and
 attributes.</help>
</arg>
There are 3 types of category these args can be put into within the plugin xml. mandatory, non-mandatory and switches.
Mandatory inputs are must be included or the plugin will not even start. Normally this will be a network ID, session ID, URL and any other necessary inputs.
Non-Mandatory inputs may be provided to the plugin to provide extra functionality, but the plugin will still run without them. One example for an export plugin might be to define a specific directory for export: 'export_dir=/tmp/'.
Switches arguments which do not require an input, but are simply 'on/off'. They appear as check boxes in the UI.
9.1.1. Plugin XML example:
Click here for the plugin xsd file
Click here for a full example of the plugin xml
9.2. Folder Structure
There are 2 structures supported by Hydra Modeller. If there is only one executable in the plugin, the the following structure should be used:
MyPlugin
 --> templates (optional)
 --> template.xml
 --> ExportJSON
 --> ExportJSON.exe
 --> plugin.xml
 --> icon.png
or alternatively, if the plugin package contains more than 1 executable (import and export, for example):
MyPlugin
 --> templates (optional)
 --> template.xml
 --> plugins
 --> ExportJSON
 --> ExportJSON.exe
 --> plugin.xml
 --> icon32.png
 --> icon16.png
 --> ImportJSON
 --> ImportJSON.exe
 --> plugin.xml
 --> icon32.png
 --> icon16.png
9.3. Session ID and Server URL
As Hydra apps connect to Hydra Platform via the same interface as the UI, they need to us the same credentials as the UI. To this end, all plugins should implement two arguments, namely server_url (to tell the plugin where the server is) and session_id to tell the server who is making the call. These two arguments should appear in the non_mandatory_args section of the plugin.xml and look just like this:
<arg>
 <name>server_url</name>
 <switch>-u</switch>
 <multiple>N</multiple>
 <argtype>string</argtype>
 <help>Specify the URL of the server to which this
 plug-in connects.</help>
</arg>
<arg>
 <name>session_id</name>
 <switch>-c</switch>
 <multiple>N</multiple>
 <argtype>string</argtype>
 <help>Specify the session ID for the connection. If not specified,
 the plugin will try to connect based on the credentials it finds in config</help>
</arg>
9.4. Creating an executable of your code
Hydra Modeller is windows-based and so requires all its plugins to be executable in windows. This still means that plugins can be written in cross-platform languages like python, java or ruby.. Taking python as an example, the pyinstaller package allows a python script to be turned into an exe by simply typing:
pyinstaller mypluginscript.py
Which produces a file called mypluginscript.exe
For more control, you can define a '.spec' file, which allows you to decide what level of compression you want (more compression = less performance normally), the name of the output file, whether it's a console application or not etc...

The CBA's response to the Welsh Government's proposed budget cuts to Cadw and the RCAHMW
The CBA has written to the Welsh Government in an open letter expressing our deep concern at the level of their proposed cuts to both Cadw and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW).
In its draft budget for 2024-25, released in December, the Welsh Government outlined a broad program of cuts spanning multiple sectors.
Whilst many other arts and cultural bodies will see their funding cut by over 10.5%, the proposed cuts to the heritage sector are even more drastic, as both Cadw and the RCAHMW will see their funding reduced by 22.3%.
We believe this will have a catastrophic impact on heritage in Wales, and, whilst we acknowledge the difficulties posed by the current economic climate, we are extremely disappointed to see such disproportionate and seemingly unjustified cuts to these important heritage sector bodies.
We, therefore, urge the Welsh Government to reconsider these proposals and carefully consider the far-reaching ramifications that this scale of cuts will have on heritage and archaeological services in Wales.
