Power showers combine the water from hot and cold supplies to reach the perfect temperature, while using a pump to offer incredible water pressure.
Here, we run through how to install a Mira Event XS thermostatic power shower. Remember that only a qualified professional should attempt power shower installation and you should always ensure that both the plumbing and electricity supplies are shut off before installing a power shower.
The following installation procedure is based on a bottom-entry pipework configuration (rising hot and cold water supplies) and a top-entry electrical supply configuration (via miniature trunking from above). Using this procedure as a guide, adjust the steps for alternative water supply or electrical supply configurations as appropriate.
- Decide on a suitable location for the Mira Event XS, avoiding buried cables and pipes. Leave a minimum distance of 200mm from the ceiling to allow for the fitting and removal of the cover. Ensure that when the hose retaining ring is placed on the lowest position on the slide bar, there is a minimum distance of 25mm between the handset and the bath or shower tray spillover when the handset is hanging down.
- Fit the three rubber feet into the recesses in the case. The feet will reduce the noise transmitted by the power shower through the wall.
- Remove the temperature knob concealing cap.
- Insert the end of the push-fit tool under the temperature control knob, in line with the temperature override button, and lever off the temperature knob.
- Unscrew the three retaining screws sufficiently to remove the shower cover. The cover retaining screws are captive and need not be removed.
- Using a spirit level, position the Mira Event XS on the wall and mark the three fixing points. Ensure the marked fixing points are not in line with buried cables and pipes before drilling.
- Drill 9.5mm holes and fit the rubber wall plugs supplied.
- Cut away and trim the thinned section in the top of the case to allow the electrical supply cable to run down the cable channel in the back of the case.
- Run the electrical supply cable into the surface-mounted miniature trunking (not supplied). Allow sufficient cable to connect to the Mira Event XS terminal block (approximately 275mm). Strip back approximately 30mm of outer cable insulation.
- Run the hot and cold water supply pipes at 28mm centres, ensuring that the pipe ends project into the Mira Event XS by 30mm to allow connection into the inlet manifold.
- Ensure that the end of the supply pipework is cut squarely and that it is free from burrs, which can damage the inlet manifold seals. Chamfer the end of the pipe to assist insertion into the fitting and to prevent the 'O' seal from tearing. Do not insert fingers into the push-fit connectors, as this can result in injury. Thoroughly flush the incoming hot and cold water supply pipes to remove debris before connecting the Mira Extreme shower.
- Push the supply pipework inside the inlet manifold until resistance is felt. Do not force it.
- The collet and 'O' seal will automatically make a hydraulic seal.
- This Mira Event XS must be fixed to the wall at all three fixing positions. The fixing holes are elongated to assist in vertical and horizontal alignment.
- Screw the Mira Event XS T to the wall using either the supplied wall screws or alternative fixings, depending on the wall structure. Do not over-tighten. Ensure that the electrical supply cable is correctly seated in the channel in the back of the case.
- Connect the conductors of the electrical supply cable to the terminal block. The supply cable earth connector should be sleeved.
- Turn the flow spindle fully clockwise so that the flat is facing towards 11 o'clock.
- Turn the flow knob fully clockwise on the cover so that the indicator is pointing to the off position.
- Refit the cover and secure with the three cover retaining screws.
- Refit the temperature control knob and the concealing cap.

The Transformer has shown impressive performance in automatic speech recognition. It uses the encoder-decoder structure with self-attention to learn the relationship between the high-level representation of the source inputs and embedding of the target outputs. In this paper, we propose a novel decoder structure that features a self-and-mixed attention decoder (SMAD) with a deep acoustic structure (DAS) to improve the acoustic representation of Transformer-based LVCSR. Specifically, we introduce a self-attention mechanism to learn a multi-layer deep acoustic structure for multiple levels of acoustic abstraction. We also design a mixed attention mechanism that learns the alignment between different levels of acoustic abstraction and its corresponding linguistic information simultaneously in a shared embedding space. The ASR experiments on Aishell-1 shown that the proposed structure achieves CERs of 4.8% on the dev set and 5.1% on the test set, which are the best results obtained on this task to the best of our knowledge.

Why Don't Old Games Work On Windows 10?
We are guessing that old games will run much smoother on Windows 10! right?.. Wrong! even if you use Windows compatibility mode to run your old games, you will fail most of the time!! BUT WHY?
The real direct reasons are the architecture which those games are written for. And here are all the reasons why old games don't work on Windows 10 computers.
1. Old Games Are 32 bit
Windows 10 OS written for 64 bit CPUs to run faster and allow more than 4 GB of RAM. But every program or game need to be coded to run on either 32 bit system or 64 bit system. This means that Windows OS will emulate 32 bit system to run old 32 bit programs and games.
But this will not work for most games because some games try to use some incompatible code in form of DLL files. A windows update might break a dependency that the game relies on.
Some games won't run at all because some of their code was written for 16 bit systems which Windows 10 can't emulate at all.
2. Multi-threaded Technology
Modern CPUs are designed to split a given program workload to run on multiple cores. This type of design lead to a more performance. But it is horrible for the games which is written for the one core old CPUs.
Windows 10 runs all programs and game in multi-threads by default to gain some more speed and performance.
You can dual-boot Windows 64 bit with Windows 32 bit So you can run some old games on the 32 bit variant of Windows 10. Finally, I hope you like this blog post. If you want to get new posts, make sure to subscribe to Value In Brief by Email.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
Agee, Jon. 2006. WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? New York: Dial. ISBN _PHONE_ [Suggested Grade Levels 1 – 6]
Although this eclectic picture book will amuse anyone, it holds special appeal for fans of contemporary children's picture book art. In it, fourteen of today's most successful picture book artists visually answer the perennial question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
The scenarios depicted range as widely as the artists' recognizable styles. Marla Frazee begins by contrasting a chicken coop beneath gloomy wet skies against a colorful chicken palace on the sunny side of the street. A single word--"duh"--hovers above the chicken. Later, David Shannon shows a chicken at the wheel of a red convertible filled with barnyard animals. The caption reads "because the light was green!" In contrast, Harry Bliss says that to answer the question we should "ask the mutated zombie chickens from Mars!" He then pictures a chicken hot footing it across the road with a legion of bug eyed, sharp-toothed, green-tongued chickens in pursuit.
Children will enjoy identifying the various artists and associating this art with familiar books. As with anything, they will likely appreciate the style and humor of some inclusions more than others. Sharing this book presents a great opportunity to talk about varying tastes and points of view.
Encourage children to brainstorm other ideas about why the chicken crossed the road and to illustrate their ideas in their own unique artistic style.

Consider a desalination process where you enter sea water and receive fresh water and brine (or maybe pure salt).
How do I compute the least amount of energy per mass? I think this has something to do with the entropy of the different mixtures, mostly dependent on the salt concentration in the brine. Is this correct? How to calculate?

Assuming that the process is done at constant temperature and pressure, what you want is the Gibbs free energy difference. The reaction could be taken to be 1 mole of water in brine on one side and one mole of pure water on the other side.
The result should be a positive number since the process is not spontaneous. However the value of $\Delta G$ will be the minimum non-mechanical work necessary for the process.
To understand this read up on the Gibbs free energy.

When is the product of intervals also an interval?

 Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

 Abstract
 Interval arithmetic is based on the fact that for intervals on the real line, the element-wise product of two intervals is also an interval. This property is not always true: e.g., it is not true if we consider intervals on the set of integers instead of intervals on the set of real numbers. When is an element-wise product or a sum of two intervals always an interval? In this paper, we analyze this problem in a general algebraic setting: we need the corresponding algebraic structures to have (related) addition, multiplication, and order; thus, we consider (consistently) ordered rings. We describe all consistently ordered rings for which the element-wise product and sum of two intervals are always intervals.

Fewer Containerships In The US Waters Reflects Trade Slowdown
The number of container vessels in the US coastal waters has dropped to less than half of the count of what was a year earlier, in the most recent ominous sign of slowing worldwide trade.
There were 106 container vessels off the coastline and in port around late Sunday, compared with 218 at this time last year, a 51% drop per vessel data analyzed by Bloomberg.
Data received from IHS Markit reflected that the weekly count of port calls in the US waters via March 4 had slowed to 1,105 from 1,906 registered the year before. That's the lowest level since mid-September back in 2020.
Poor weather could be partly to blame. Also, more broadly, a slowdown in worldwide consumer demands — driven by higher inflation and poorer economic growth — is translating into fewer vessels required to ship goods from top manufacturing hubs of Asia to Europe and the US.
Ships in the port of New Jersey/New York are currently experiencing an incoming winter storm, fell to three as of late Sunday, and compared with a two-year median of 10. There were 15 vessels in the West Coast shipping hubs of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which typically experiences a median of 25 vessels.
Meanwhile, the vessel capacity of idled containers in February was close to the highest level since August 2020, per maritime consultant Drewry.

Project Sprout is a unique strategy for urban revitalization based on the premise that failure reveals opportunity. Shifts in New Orleans' demographics and economic prospects, coupled with catastrophic flooding from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, left many of the city's neighborhoods devastated by blight and environmental contamination. Through a productive stabilization strategy that unlocks the potential of blighted land, Sprout will transform marginal properties from public health threats into nodes of community redevelopment.
Through the planting of bio-energy gardens that include plants like sunflowers, Project Sprout will:
1. Remediate soil
2. Yield a crop for bio-fuel production
3. Provide green-collar job training
4. Create hope in communities that suffer from the companion problems of blight and illegal dumping.
As a deliberately transitional strategy, Sprout helps to reposition underutilized land for redevelopment, urban farming, or community recreation space. A phased pilot project will roll out beginning in Spring 2009.

ALIGN: A guidance tool for living wages and incomes
The The Only Way is Up! Conference marked the launch of ALIGN. ALIGN is a platform that gives access to existing resources on living wage and living income in an interactive and customised way. The portal is meant to be a guidance tool for agri-food companies aiming to reduce complexity around the topic, prioritising easy access and accountable information to build a strong understanding of living wages and income, and assessing risks in supply chains.
A needs assessment conducted by True Price in the second half of 2018 among Dutch agri-food companies, showed that in order to stimulate and facilitate action in the field of living wage/living income, agri-food companies would benefit from having access to existing knowledge, good practices and potential partners. Hence, the relevance of ALIGN as an accountable guidance tool for living wages and incomes.
The platform has two main functionalities:
- A source map where the user can access information on living wage/living income either per country or per commodity
- An action process meant to be a step-by-step guide for companies approaching the theme of living wage/living income
The tool was initially developed for a few selected countries and commodities and will expand from there. These pre-selected countries are Costa Rica, Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia, and the pre-selected commodities are bananas, cacao, flowers and coffee.
ALIGN is the result of an ongoing partnership between Hivos, Fairfood (as part of the Living Wage Lab project) and the Rainforest Alliance, with the support of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, implemented by GIZ.

If you're a guinea pig owner, chances are you've heard that having a guinea pig in your home can help keep spiders away. But is this true? Here's what you need to know about using guinea pigs as a spider repellent.
Do guinea pigs keep spiders away?
While guinea pigs may keep spiders away from their cages, it's not a guaranteed solution for an entire home.
Spiders enter like any other insect through small cracks and crevices in the wall or windows. And considering guinea pigs are relatively tiny animals and require special care within the home, they can't patrol all the nooks and crannies that spiders might find inviting.
On top of keeping clean, sealing off entryways with weatherstripping is critical to spider prevention.
Ultimately guinea pigs make great house pets, but when it comes to spiders in your home, unfortunately, they won't be much help.
How Guinea Pigs Might Help Keep Spiders Away
The idea behind using guinea pigs as spider repellent is that the smell of the pet will keep spiders away from your home.
While there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, the smell of a guinea pig may be enough to deter some species of spiders or at least make them less likely to stay in your house for an extended period.
However, several other factors could contribute to fewer spiders in your home, even if you have a guinea pig.
For example, if you keep your home clean and free from clutter—which is always recommended when owning any pet—you may have fewer spiders than before.
Additionally, certain types of plants (such as lavender or citrus) may help repel spiders naturally, without the need for any pets in the house.
Is it Safe to Have Both Guinea Pigs and Spiders Around?
If you still find yourself with spiders and guinea pigs in your home, don't worry too much about their safety.
Guinea pigs should not be able to come into contact with any dangerous spider species as they can cause severe harm or illness if bitten.
However, spider webs may pose a choking hazard for guinea pigs, so it's essential to ensure that all webs are regularly removed from around their cage space.
Are spiders a danger to guinea pigs?
Guinea pigs are particularly vulnerable to spiders since they are small mammals and cannot defend themselves against the bite of the more dangerous species.
One of the biggest threats comes from domestic house spiders, who can build intricate webs and weave into enclosures.
These webs will capture any insects that come close and, if left alone, can cause severe distress to your guinea pig.
To reduce the likelihood of this happening, vacuum all surrounding areas regularly and clear out any webs you spot before they cause harm.
Additionally, don't let wild spiders into your house, as it risks introducing danger to your guinea pig.
Prevention is critical when taking measures against spiders becoming a hazard for your pet – take it seriously, and you should be able to avoid blundered encounters with eight-legged creatures.
How to get rid of spiders without harming the guinea pigs?
Keeping your guinea pig safe is paramount, so if you have an issue with spiders, getting rid of them can be challenging without endangering your pet.
Luckily some great methods will allow you to eliminate the eight-legged invaders safely and effectively.
Vacuuming regularly helps remove spiders and their webs, especially when upholstered furniture is involved.
Opening the windows to bring in more natural light also helps, as spiders do not like bright areas.
Applying cedar oil or vinegar around your windowsills, doorways, the perimeter of your home, and any other dark area will repel them from emerging.
Finally, use limited chemical sprays only on spot treatment; keep your guinea pigs away from sprayed areas until completely dry. With any luck, these tips will help keep your guinea pig free from harm and spider danger.
While having a guinea pig may help reduce the number of spiders in your home by deterring them with its scent, it isn't guaranteed to work every time. So be sure to keep up with regular cleaning habits and consider adding some natural spider-repellent plants near windowsills.
Most importantly, be sure that your furry friend cannot come into contact with any potentially dangerous spider species, as this can put their health at risk.

Analysis is presented for the new application of diffraction grating strain gages to the measurement of dynamic shear strain during torsional wave propagation in hollow tubes. The problem of oblique diffraction of light from curved diffraction gratings is solved in general. Corrective measures were discovered which minimize the undesirable effects arising from the complex grating curvature. This report is the first of three in a series that will treat the measurement of finite amplitude, dynamic torsional strain waves in hollow tubes. From these studies, important dynamic material parameters may be inferred. The second report is to discuss an analytical sensitivity study of real effects which occur with use of this gage, including rigid rotation of the tube, lateral and vertical displacements, and calibration procedures.

Hydraulic Circuit diagram for Surface Grinding Machine
The hydraulic circuit for the surface grinding machine is shown in the figure below.
|Hydraulic Circuit Diagram for Surface Grinding Machine
The hydraulic circuit of the surface grinding machine consist of
The hydraulic circuit of the surface grinding machine utilizes a power pack to supply pressurized oil, one pilot-operated direction control valve which decides the direction of the flow of pressurized oil, and a double-acting cylinder with the double piston rod.
If you are interested in engineering then you must look for top engineering colleges in Pune. Pune is one of the best cities in India for engineering education.
The piston rods on both sides are mechanically coupled with the table of the machine. There are two roller actuated pilot valves, which are actuated by cams fitted to the table.
These valves provide the pilot impulse to the main valve, thus deciding the position of the main valve and hence the direction of motion of the cylinder and consequently motion of the table.
Every time either of the pilot valves is pressed by the cam. The cam positions are adjustable, which decides the stroke length movement of the table.


text: We propose an approach for estimating the probability that a given small target, among many, will be the first to be reached in a molecular dynamics simulation. Reaching small targets out of a vast number of possible configurations constitutes an entropic barrier. Experimental evidence suggests that entropic barriers are ubiquitous in biomolecular systems, and often characterize the rate-limiting step of biomolecular processes. Presumably for the same reasons, they often characterize the rate-limiting step in simulations. To the extent that first-passage probabilities can be computed without requiring direct simulation, the process of traversing entropic barriers can replaced by a single choice from the computed ("first-passage") distribution. We will show that in the presence of certain entropic barriers, first-passage probabilities are approximately invariant to the initial configuration, provided that it is modestly far away from each of the targets. We will further show that as a consequence of this invariance, the first-passage distribution can be well-approximated in terms of "capacities" of local sets around the targets. Using these theoretical results and a Monte Carlo mechanism for approximating capacities, we provide a method for estimating the hitting probabilities of small targets in the presence of entropic barriers. In numerical experiments with an idealized ("golf-course") potential, the estimates are as accurate as the results of direct simulations, but far faster to compute.

The need for fast and accurate performance testing of solar collectors is increasing. This paper describes a new technique for performance testing which is based on non-linear continuous time models of the heat dynamics of the collector. It is shown that all important performance parameters can be accurately estimated with measurements from a single day. The estimated parameters are compared with results from standardized test methods (Fischer et al., 2004). Modelling the dynamics of the collector is carried out using stochastic differential equations, which is a well proven efficient method to obtain accurate estimates of parameters in physical models. The applied method is described by Kristensen et al. (2004) and implemented in the software CTSM1. Examples of successful applications of the method includes modelling the of the heat dynamics of integrated photo-voltaic modules (Friling et al., 2009) and modelling of the heat dynamics of buildings (Madsen and Holst, 1995). Measurements obtained at a test site in Denmark during the spring 2010 are used for the modelling. The tested collector is a single glazed large area flat plate collector with selective absorber and Teflon anti convection layer. The test rig is described in Fan et al. (2009). The modelling technique provides uncertainty estimates such as confidence intervals for the parameters, and furthermore enables statistical validation of the results. Such tests can also facilitate procedures for selecting the best model to use, which is a very non-trivial task.

The facilitator is a specialized server agent that is responsible for coordinating agent communications and cooperative execution of tasks.
Client (non-facilitator) agents may be categorized as follows:
User interface agents accept multimodal input and present results.
Natural language agents translate users' requests into ICL.
Application agents provide services, which may be domain-independent or domain-dependent. Application Agents are frequently wrapped versions of legacy programs.
Meta agents apply domain knowledge to help coordinate the efforts of other agents.
Larger systems can be assembled from multiple facilitator/client groups, each having the sort of structure shown above.
All OAA agents publish their capabilities and communicate requests among themselves using the Interagent Communication Language.

Well, there's already a question like this here so that my question could be considered duplicate, but I'll try to make my point clear. Is there a way to derive Biot-Savart law from the Lorentz' Force law or just from Maxwell's Equations? The point is that we usually defined based on experiments that the force felt by a moving charge on the presence of a magnetic field is $F = qv\times B$, now can this be used in some way to obtain Biot-Savart law like we obtain the equation for the electric field directly from Coulomb's Force law?
And I wanted to know that because as pointed out in the question I've mentioned, although Maxwell's Equations can be considered more fundamental, those equations are obtained after we know Coulomb's and Biot-Savart's laws, so if we start with Maxwell's Equations to obtain Biot-Savart's having use it to find Maxwell's Equations then I think we'll fall into a circular argument. In that case, without recoursing to Maxwell's Equations the only way to obtain Biot-Savart's law is through observations or can it be derived somehow?

Neither Maxwell nor Biot-Savart are fundamental - all such formulas follow from Coulomb and a well-chosen definition of $B$, as mentioned tangentially in this short rant. – Chris White Jun 8 '13 at 20:13

$\def\VA{{\bf A}} \def\VB{{\bf B}} \def\VJ{{\bf J}} \def\VE{{\bf E}} \def\vr{{\bf r}}$The Biot-Savart law is a consequence of Maxwell's equations.
We assume Maxwell's equations and choose the Coulomb gauge, $\nabla\cdot\VA = 0$. Then $$\nabla\times\VB = \nabla\times(\nabla\times\VA) = \nabla(\nabla\cdot\VA) - \nabla^2\VA = -\nabla^2\VA.$$ But $$\nabla\times\VB - \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial\VE}{\partial t} = \mu_0 \VJ.$$ In the steady state this implies $$\nabla^2\VA = -\mu_0 \VJ.$$ Thus, we have Poisson's equation for each component of the above equation. The solution is $$\VA(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{\VJ(\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|}d^3 r'.$$ Now we need only calculate $\VB = \nabla\times\VA$. But $$\nabla\times\frac{\VJ(\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|} = \frac{\VJ(\vr')\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3}$$ and so $$\VB(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{\VJ(\vr')\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3} d^3 r'.$$ This is the Biot-Savart law for a wire of finite thickness. For a thin wire this reduces to $$\VB(\vr) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\int \frac{I d{\bf l}\times(\vr-\vr')}{|\vr-\vr'|^3}.$$
Addendum: In mathematics and science it is important to keep in mind the distinction between the historical and the logical development of a subject. Knowing the history of a subject can be useful to get a sense of the personalities involved and sometimes to develop an intuition about the subject. The logical presentation of the subject is the way practitioners think about it. It encapsulates the main ideas in the most complete and simple fashion. From this standpoint, electromagnetism is the study of Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law. Everything else is secondary, including the Biot-Savart law.

But how I've seen it done, Maxwell's equations are derived from the biot-savart law, which would make this circular. – JLA Jun 8 '13 at 20:24
_USER_: I've added something to address the "circularity" you refer to. – user26872 Jun 8 '13 at 23:00
It may be true that in days of yore people measured the force resulting from a filamentary current, discovering the Biot-Savart law, and then in turn used that as inspiration to construct Maxwell's equations. If that's how it actually happened historically, fine.
But this is analogous to some alien archaeologist 10 million years from now finding a skeletal hand and foot in the Earth. From the hand, the archaeologist comes to understand what the animal who had that hand liked to do with it: that it could grasp and use tools and so on. From the foot, the archaeologist it comes to understand that the animal it belonged to walked on two legs and that it typically weighed in adulthood around 100-300 pounds.
Only later does the archaeologist that the hand and the foot both belonged to the same animal--a human being. But the nature of the work means that the puzzle of what a human being was has to be broken down into chunks that can be individually understood before the whole picture can come together. That said, it would be backwards to suggest the hand and the foot are more fundamental than the human being itself.
The Maxwell equations have been constructed to be consistent with the Biot-Savart law and other pieces of information, like Coulomb's law. Thus, you can derive Biot-Savart from Maxwell, but not the other way around, for Maxwell is more general and all-encompassing.
If you already know the Lorentz force law, you can infer the strength of the magnetic field from a wire just by shooting charged test particles near the wire and observing their motion. But this calls into question how you already know the Lorentz force law, and so on.
You can go in circles all day over what is or is not fundamental, over what must be based on experimental observation and what is merely constructed to be consistent with those observations, but often there's a preference for "simple" experimental observations being considered fundamental vs. theoretical constructs that incorporate many such observations--see Chris White's comment that Maxwell's equations can be derived from Coulomb's law and some other stuff.
To me, this is silly. Maxwell's equations incorporate the sum total of our observations (those that fit the classical regime, at least). To me, it is what we know about classical electromagnetism. To say that you can derive Maxwell's equation with only one result plus a few assumptions...well, it misses the point that those assumptions also had to be tested and verified in the first place. To me, it is very very backwards to single out special cases (pure electric, pure magnetic, static or dynamic fields) and treat them as "fundamental".
Edit: but really, a physicist needs to work in both directions. To create new theory, we often have special cases that we don't know are connected and must bridge them together. That's building Maxwell's equations from Coulomb's law and Biot-Savart. To analyze a particular problem most easily, one we're not sure there is a special-case formula for, we must resort to the most general description (Maxwell) and try to reduce it down to something simpler and easier to solve (in the case of no current and no time-dependence, you can get back to Coulomb's law). Both approaches are necessary to be as flexible as possible.

Marathon Monday highlights
Today is Patriots Day in Massachusetts, the day the Boston Marathon is traditionally run. For the second year in a row, it's a day without a race. In past years, we've used the marathon as a metaphor to convey various tips to help students strengthen executive function skills. As we remember highlights of marathons past, here are some of our Marathon Monday TOTW highlights.
- Intrinsic motivation, commitment, and working toward a goal
- Keep pace, stay focused, and the follow the process
- When things don't go as planned
- "A marathon is hundreds of miles. The finish is the last 26.2."
Wishing everyone a relaxing and enjoyable Patriots Day!


Webhooks and Eventhandling
In order to keep your shop up-to-date with any changes concerning your payments you can register a webhook to several different events as described here.
Single Webhook actions
Register a Webhook event
$heidelpay = new \heidelpayPHP\Heidelpay('s-priv-xxxxxxxxxx');
$webhook = $heidelpay->createWebhook(
Fetch and update a Webhook
The URL of a webhook can be updated as shown in the following example.
// fetch
$webhook = $heidelpay->fetchWebhook('s-whk-1533');
// update
It is not possible to update the event a webhook is registered for at the moment.
Delete an existing Webhook
You can delete a webhook either by passing its id or the corresponding webhook object to the heidelpay::deleteWebhook method.
// delete a webhook by id
// delete a webhook by object
Multiple webhooks actions
Register multiple webhooks at once
In order to register multiple webhooks at once you can pass an array containing all desired events.
It will return an array containing all created webhooks as \heidelpayPHP\Resources\Webhook instances.
// register several webhooks at once
$registeredWebhooks = $heidelpay->registerMultipleWebhooks(
Fetch all registered Webhooks at once
$registeredWebhooks = $heidelpay->fetchAllWebhooks();
Delete all Webhooks at once
Handle incoming events
Whenever an event is triggered the corresponding URL is called. The POST request contains the json-information about the event which you can use to fetch the corresponding resource which in turn can be used to update the state of the order/payment in your shop.
Just add the following code to the controller of the URL you registered, fetch the json from the event payload and inject it to the method heidelpay::fetchResourceFromEvent.
The method will fetch the corresponding resource object and return it.
$resource = $heidelpay->fetchResourceFromEvent($jsonRequest);
After that you can determine the type of the resource and handle it accordingly.
Please refer to the latest integration examples for a working example implementation of webhooks and the event handling.
Acknowledging an event
In order to releave our webhook servers and message queues from your events, we need you to acknowledge them by returning the HTTP success code (200). This will tell the server that you have successfully received the event and there is no need to send it again.
We recommend you to use one of the following ways to handle and acknowledge incoming events.
 1. Store the event, acknowledge it and handle it later (e. g. via cron job) …
 2. … or handle the event right away and return a HTTP error code (>= 400) if something goes wrong. The Webhook server will place the event in its queue taking care of resending it again later.
What ever way you choose please do not place the event handling into a loop to try again after an error. This can create a great amount of traffic when our servers suffer a high load and add even more. In addition this can lead to a timeout where the webhook server stops the request and retries sending the event later on while your event handler retries fetching the resource from us.
Security Considerations
To make sure nobody can meddle with your payments or find out your private key please make sure to remember the following rules concerning the event handling.
don't...
…use the event name as indicator for the state of a resource
Since there is no guarantee an event has actually been sent by our API you should always fetch the resource using the SDK. This way you make sure a hacker can not inject a false payment state into your shop. In Addition there is no guarantee the events arrive in the same order they have been sent in. Fetching the resource to an event always gives you the latest state.
don't...
…use the events retrieveUrl to fetch the event resource without making sure the domain is legit.
A hacker could send an event with a retrieveUrl which contains his own domain to spy out your private key or to return fake data to make you believe a payment has been completed when it actually has not. Please use the method fetchResourceFromEvent(...) of the Unzer facade to retrieve the resource from an event to make sure nobody can feed you false data. This method omits the possibly manipulated domain and just uses the path to the corresponding resource, making sure you are calling a save Unzer domain.

Why is eating oyster mushrooms good for the environment?
In Nature, there are 5 kingdoms: plants, animals, algae, bacteria and fungi. And together they form the ideal team in which there is no waste, everyone has a role and only uses what is available locally, channeling energy from one kingdom to another.
Fungi are called "Nature's decomposers", they break down any dead organic matter and transform it into nutrients for their local habitat.
Therefore, eating edible wild mushrooms is good for the environment and our planet because they are 100% organic and local. However, most of the mushrooms we eat are commercially grown.
But this is also good news because they are not resource-intensive and can be grown year-round. On average, 1 kilo of oyster mushrooms requires just 25 liters of water and is grown most of the time using locally available waste. This makes eating mushrooms an excellent substitute for meat. In addition to being vegetarian, it only consumes a very small amount of resources.
Once again, eating mushrooms is good for you, but also for the planet!
From waste to taste


text: Transcarpathia is located in one of the wettest parts of the Ukraine. There are 9429 rivers and creeks in the county with a total length of 19.86 thousand kilometers. The length of 152 rivers exceeds 10 km, 4 exceed 100 km (Tisza, Latorca, Ung and Borsava rivers). The average density of rivers is 1.7 km/km2, which is the highest in the Ukraine. The existing water resources are distributed unevenly in the county. The river with the greatest mass of water is the Tisza. Tisza carries 75% of all existing water resources, the remaining 25% is made up of the water in the river Ung and Latorca. Disregarding the uneven distribution of water resources, 80% of water is used up in the basins of the rivers Ung and Latorca from the water resources of the county, which leads to the overload of rivers. The main sources of water supply in Transcarpathia: subsurface waters – for the population of cities and settlements, surface and subsurface waters – for the industry, surface waters – for irrigation. In the interest of protecting existing water resources, it is required to follow current regulations, detecting and averting contaminating sources and establishing water conservation zones.

Barnaby, a Sedum Morganianum, Donkey Tail or Burro's Tail, is a member of the wider succulent family and native to Mexico and Honduras.
As you might have guessed, Barnaby's leaves resembles the tail of a donkey or rabbit, and in the wild his stems would happily trail up to 60cm long flowering pink to red star shaped flowers throughout summer!
Barnaby, Sedum Morganianum Burrito
Barnaby prefers bright indirect light, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn't go a miss.
If you're not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun


How to configure the switch to implement Auto PD Recovery (FW 4.80 and newer)
Options

First Anniversary 10 Comments Friend Collector First Answer
edited April 29 in Surveillance / ONVIF
The crash/hang on surveillance devices (ex: IP camera) can usually be recovered by just a reboot. Zyxel switch GS1350 series models support PoE feature "Auto PD Recovery" which offers a way to restart malfunctioning PDs from Zyxel Switch (PSE) to reduce service-down time by sending a field engineer to troubleshoot the live site. Additionally, this feature ensures the reliability of network by preventing situations where PDs are suddenly no longer working.
In the purpose of ensuring reliability of the network, below example will instruct administrator on how to configure the switch by using Auto PD Recovery to have an alternative & sufficient way to reset power supply of malfunctioning PDs.
Note:
All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article. Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks.
In order to access PDs efficiently to simulate the PD malfunction, the example was tested with NWA90AXPRO and NWA1123ACv3 as PDs instead of common IP Cameras, and we use GS1350-12HP as the PoE Switch.
There are 2 options for Auto PD Recovery feature.
1) Ping mode: Detect the PD status by performing ping requests.
2) LLDP mode: Monitor LLDP packets from the PD.
Both modes detect PD status within a certain period of time (referred to as "Resume Polling Interval"). Once the configured criteria is reached, the switch will perform reboot-alarm action to the PD.
The number of times that the switch can make the PD reboot is also a configurable value (referred to as "PD Reboot Count"). If the times that the switch tries to reboot the PD reaches the value, the switch will no longer try rebooting the PD even if the polling count is reached.
 We will respectively use "Ping mode" & "LLDP mode" in the following examples.
1. Configuration in the Switch (Ping mode)
1-1. Access the web-GUI of the Switch.
1-2. Go to Menu > Port > Auto PD Recovery. Activate Auto PD Recovery and check the desired port(s).
1-3. Select the mode as "Ping" and input IP address of the PDs.
Note 1:
If the PD (IP Cam) supports LLDP, it'll bring up the IP info automatically in the text box of "Neighbor".
For those who don't, manual input is required.
Note 2:
The default setting about Polling Interval (20 secs) and Polling Count (3 times) will make switch detect the PD status by performing ping requests every 20 seconds.
If there is no ping reply from the PD, polling count starts to count from 1. Once polling count is reached to 3 times, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
Note 3:
The ping mechanism in "Auto PD Recovery" is through switch's default management IP address to the designated port. This means the designated port must share the same VLAN as switch's management VLAN in order to successfully ping and monitor the IP camera/PD.
2. Test the Result (Ping Mode)
Please make sure the PD Health of your PD on switch neighbor page is green first. Path: Menu > Monitor > Neighbor
2-1. Change the IP address of the PD in your PD's IP setting page to simulate the situation that the PD is not replying ping requests from the switch.
2-2. Once the Polling Count reached to 3 times, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health status will turn to yellow LED (means the PD is rebooting).
When switch performs rebooting the PD (the connected port is detected as link-down on switch), the switch will start to again supply the power to the PD 10 seconds later (default value of Resume Power Interval).
2-3. After the PD is powered on, the switch resumes to detect the PD status by performing ping requests after 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval).
2-4. The Polling Count will once again reach 3 times since there is still no response from the changed polling IP 10.214.48.100. However, the switch will no longer perform PD recovery process due to the PD Reboot Count Value (default: 1 time) is reached.
Meanwhile the detecting process (ping requests) keeps going, the PD Health status will become red LED (means the PD is considered dead).
Note:
As soon as a ping is successful, the PD reboot count will reset and then restart the counting process.
2-5. Change back the correct IP address of the PD in your PD's IP setting page to simulate the situation that the PD is normally responding the ping requests.
2-6. After the next successful detecting process, the PD Health status will turn to greed LED (means the PD is considered normal).
Note:
The PD reboot count will also reset in case of any modification of Auto PD Recovery is applied, or rebooting of the switch itself.
3. Configuration in the Switch (LLDP mode)
3-1. Access the web GUI of the Switch.
3-2. Go to Menu > Port > Auto PD Recovery. Activate Auto PD Recovery and check the desired port(s).
3-3. Select the mode as "LLDP" (default mode).
Note:
In LLDP mode, switch monitors the PD status by checking incoming LLDP packets every 30 seconds (default value of transmit interval for LLDP feature) from the PD.
Likewise, switch sends out LLDP packets to the PD every 30 seconds to update the neighbor table on the PD.
Switch will check the LLDP table every 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval). If the PD entry disappears (default LLDP table aging time: 120 seconds) in switch's LLDP table, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action (default action) to reboot the PD.
4. Test the Result (LLDP Mode)
4-1. Turn off LLDP feature of the PD to simulate the situation that PD is not responding LLDP anymore.
4-2. Once the PD entry disappears in switch's LLDP table, the switch will perform the reboot-alarm action to reboot the PD.
In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health status will turn to yellow LED (means the PD is rebooting).
When switch performs rebooting the PD (the connected port is detected as link-down on switch), the switch will start to again supply the power to the PD 10 seconds later (default value of Resume Power Interval).
4-3. After the PD is powered on, the switch resumes to detect the PD status by checking LLDP table after 600 seconds (default value of Resume Polling Interval).
4-4. The PD's LLDP info is still missing since the LLDP feature is turned off on the PD. However, the switch will no longer perform PD recovery process due to the PD Reboot Count Value (default: 1 time) is reached.
4-5. Meanwhile the detecting process (checking LLDP table) keeps going, the PD Health status will become red LED (means the PD is considered dead).
4-6. Recover the LLDP feature on the PD to simulate the situation that the PD can regularly exchange LLDP info with the switch.
4-7. After the next successful detecting process, the PD Health status will turn to greed LED (means the PD is considered normal).
Note:
The PD reboot count will be reset in case of any modification of Auto PD Recovery is applied, or rebooting of the switch itself.
5. What May Go Wrong
5-1. In Menu > Monitor > Neighbor, the PD Health will not display the status instantaneously after any enable/disable action was applied.
The status will be refreshed after the configured Resume Polling Interval (default: 600 secs), which means the detecting process is ongoing.
5-2. In case of upgrading firmware for the camera/PD, it's highly recommended to disable Auto PD recovery function during the process since the power cutoff during the firmware upgrade may cause potential damage to the camera/PD.

The sky is defined as a infinitely large sphere placed around your world. You can define a constant color for it, or have gradient effects.
The sky color is defined by two fields: skyColor and skyAngle. If you want a single color sky, like the figure on the left above, then you specify a skyColor as the RGB of the desired color, don't specify the skyAngle. The skyAngle is only used when a gradient effect, like the image on the right above, is intended. If you want a gradient effect then you specify the color for the upper pole of the sphere as the first color in the field skyColor. Next you specify at which angle you want a new color (the angle is measured from the upper pole) in the skyAngle. The second color in the skyColor field specifies this last color. The browser should create a gradient between the first and second colors, starting at the upper pole and ending at the angle specified in the skyAngle field. You can specify any number of colors and angles, the number of angles should be the number of colors minus 1. The first color always corresponds to the upper pole. For instance the following combinations were used to create the above images:
|0 (upper pole)||0 0 1|
|0 (upper Pole)||0 0 1|
|1.2||0 0 0.6|
|1.57||1 0 0|
On the left image only one color was specified. In this case no angles are specified because the first color is always the upper pole color. The Sky is all blue.
On the right image from 1.57, roughly 90 degrees, to the lower pole the color used is the last color specified, i.e. red.
Similarly to the sky, the ground is also an infinitely large sphere. The ground sphere is placed inside the sky sphere. The only difference between these two spheres is that in the ground sphere if you do not specify a color, you can see through it, i.e. you can see the sky sphere. Usually, for the ground sphere colors are only provided for the bottom hemisphere.
The following images provides a ground combined with a sky.
The ground color and angles used were:
|3.14 (lower pole)||0.5 0.5 0|
|1.57||0.5 0.5 0|
From 1.57 radians to the upper pole the ground is transparent because no color was specified, therefore allowing you to see the sky sphere. Note that you must specify at least two colors for the ground, otherwise there will be no ground. If you want a ground with a constant color just specify twice the same color. Specifying only one color doesn't provide you with a background.
You can place images on the sides, top and bottom of a conceptually infinitely large box placed inside the ground sphere. Since the box is placed inside the sky and ground spheres, in order to see through these you should use images with transparent parts.
The source code that follows was used to produce the background for the above image
The image used for the sides of the box is
The border presented in the image is only to give you the notion of the image size, it is not part of the image. Black is the transparent color of this image. Looking at the image one can see that the mountains start only at half of the image, they don't start from the bottom of the image. This is because the desired effect was to have the mountains starting when the ground was over and the sky started.

A burst of heavy rains prompted special measures at the Yellowstone national park at the start of the summer tourist season. The park service characterized the levels of rainfall and flooding sweeping the park as unprecedented."Effective immediately, all entrances to Yellowstone National Park are temporarily CLOSED due to substantial flooding, rockslides and mudslides on roadways from recent unprecedented amounts of rainfall and flooding," the administration of the park announced Monday. Multiple road and bridge failures, mudslides and other issues were enumerated. No inbound traffic is allowed, at least on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Yellowstone River reached record-high levels Monday in the Montana towns of Corwin Springs and Livingston. Higher flood levels were anticipated so the visitors were evacuated. Numerous sections of roads throughout Yellowstone either washed away or covered in rocks and mud, with a number of bridges also damaged.
Power outages occurred in several areas of the park. The park's reopening will be determined after flood waters recede and damage is assessed. Usually, 780,000 people typically visit the park in June. Travelers with plans to visit Yellowstone National Park in the coming weeks are advised to monitor road conditions. Mammoth, Osprey Falls, Indian Creek Campground and Lava Creek Campgrounds, all located in the park, are locations expected to experience floods, the weather service said. Gardiner, Montana, a town just north of the park that is currently isolated by the dangerous conditions due to a mudslide in the vicinity.

LEFTY: A Two-view Editor for Technical Pictures (thesis)
This thesis describes LEFTY, a two-view graphics editor for technical pictures. This editor has no hardwired knowledge about specific picture layouts or editing operations. Each picture is described by a program that contains functions to draw the picture and functions to perform editing operations that
are appropriate for the specific picture. Primitive user actions, like mouse and keyboard events, are bound to functions in this program. Besides the graphical view of the picture itself, the editor presents a textual view of the program that describes the picture. Programmability and the two-view interface
allow the editor to handle a variety of pictures, but are particularly useful for pictures used in technical contexts, e.g., graphs and trees and VLSI layouts. LEFTY can communicate with other processes. This feature allows it to use existing tools to compute specific picture layouts and allows external processes to use the editor to display their data structures.


text: The problem of finding the optimal roadway segment configuration for road-based surveillance technologies to estimate route travel times accurately is addressed. This problem is inherently a space discretization problem regardless of which travel time estimation function is used. Its ad hoc solution is the equidistant segment configuration, such as every half mile or every 1 mi. It is shown that the space discretization problem can be expressed as the common clustering problem. The novelty of the proposed approach is the use of preliminary vehicle trajectory data to obtain statistically significant traffic regime at the study route. Clustering of sample space-time trajectory data is proposed as a viable methodology for solving the optimal roadway segment configuration problem.

The term 'Risk Retention Group' (RRG) originated in the Federal Risk Retention Act of 1981, which was passed in response to a 'Products Liability Crisis' that arose from the rising costs and decreasing availability of products liability coverage from commercial insurers in the 1970s. This Act was written to help organizations in any industry to meet their products liability risk financing needs (for example, by forming their own captive insurance company). In response to the liability crisis in the mid 1980s, the Act was expanded in 1986 to include all types of liability insurance (except personal liability and workers compensation).
The Act provides for like businesses to join together to insure their common liability risks.
Under the Act, each insured is required to have an ownership interest in the insurance company.

The prefixes hyper-, super-, and ultraseems all has meaning 'transcend' or 'upper class' and can all be translated to '超'. But they have a bit difference, e.g. hypergiant is larger than supergiant; hypersonic is faster than supersonic; superhigh frequency is higher than ultrahigh frequency.
So my question is what is the precise translation of them?
In colloquial English, these words all mean pretty much the same thing (though hyperis used rather infrequently) so using 超 interchangeably shouldn't be much of a concern.
With regard to academic terminology, your best bet is to look up the specific term in question. One easy way to do this is to find the corresponding wikipage in English, and then click 中文 on the sidebar.
For example, in the case of hypergiant vs supergiant, hyperis translated as 特超, while superis translated as 超.
Similarly, for sonic we have hyperas 超高 and superas 超.
Finally, for high frequency, we have superbecoming 超高, and ultrabecoming 特高.
All of the above translations were found using the aforementioned wikipage method. From just these few examples, though, we quickly conclude that there is no single translation of the three prefixes at hand.
In fact, hypersonic and super high frequency both use the same prefix (超高) as do hypergiant and ultra high frequency (特高).
Thus, unfortunately, a precise translation must be done on a case by case basis.
 - Firstly thank you. In addition, I'm considering about the translation about hyperman, superman and ultraman. 'Superman' is already translated to '超人'; 'ultraman' is '奧特曼'. It seems '曼' is the transliteration of'man', '奧特' seems '特神秘'. For 'hyperman', it seems has not been translated currently, but '特超人' seems a proper translation. – Popopo Nov 14 '12 at 10:30
 - "奥特" was almost certainly chosen as a transliteration of ultra. – user2251 Nov 14 '12 at 17:30
The Taiwanese youth love to pair 超 up with adjectives to give a more colloquial, dramatic flavor
超好 = awesome
超级 = super
超累 = dead tired
超无聊 = completely boring, (but also can mean "so lame")

Algorithm for Reconstruction of Neurite Outgrowth Images
central nervous system has long been suggested as a system of the body
that might be particularly sensitive to the passage of highly ionizing
particles found in the galactic cosmic rays. To assess the neurotoxicity
of high-energy iron particles, we used an in vitro model in which neuronal
differentiation and neurite extension occur under controlled conditions.
The model uses chick embryo explants to study the effects of iron ions
The imaging problem is to observe the neurite outgrowth regenerated
from an explant, and to quantify the extent of growth. We have developed
an algorithm to reconstruct the neurite outgrowth which has automated
the quantification process.
In this talk we describe our algorithm, discuss the quantification measures
we obtain, and present preliminary results from our image analysis.

George Washington
George Washington
By Betty Kirkpatrick
Muckle is now best known to most people for its appearance in the old adage Mony a mickle maks a muckle. This is popularly thought to mean that a lot of small amounts of something will make a large amount of it. It is often used to try and encourage people to save little amounts of money in the hope, one day, that these will become a fortune.
The sentiment may be admirable, but the saying as it stands actually does not make much sense. Mickle and muckle, far from being opposites in meaning, actually mean the same thing. As nouns they both mean a large amount or a great deal of something. As adjectives they both mean large or great in size. Many Scots words have variations in spelling and muckle/mickle is an example. Meikle is another variation of the same word, as in the meikle stane (stone) mentioned in Tam o' Shanter:
And past the birks and meikle stane,
Where drunken Charlie brak's neck-bane:'
How the saying Mony a mickle maks a muckle came about is a bit of a mystery. The most likely explanation is that the phrase started out life as Mony a pickle maks a muckle. Pickle, unlike mickle, is opposite in meaning to muckle and means a small amount. This phrase, then, has the merit of making sense.
If that is the case, a most unlikely person appears to have been involved in the faulty rewording of the saying. That person is George Washington. In 1793 he referred in writing to a Scots saying: "many mickles make a muckle" adding "than which nothing in nature is more true". I doubt if he single-handedly caused the mickle problem, but he certainly added to it.
Mony a mickle maks a muckle might be linguistically inaccurate, but it has spread its wings further into England than most Scots words and phrases have done. To add to the confusion, a version of the saying has appeared in some English dialects as Many a little makes a mickle.
The word muckle is derived from Old English micel, meaning great or large, which is associated with Old Norse mikill of the same meaning. Muckle can be used as a noun, as in the saying under discussion, or as in They dinna think muckle o' him, used to emphasize a poor opinion of someone. However, muckle is often used as an adjective in a wide range of contexts, as in a muckle tree, a muckle hoose, a muckle difference, a muckle eejit (idiot) and so on.
Muckle feck refers to the larger or lion's share of something, muckle coat to a greatcoat and muckle chair to a particularly large armchair. The muckle tae is the big toe and the town of Langholm in Dumfriesshire is frequently known as the Muckle Toon.
Muckle is also found in compound adjectives such as muckle-moued, having an exceptionally large mouth. Muckle-backit means having a good strong back, always an asset, and muckle-boukit, in one of its senses, means having a large powerful physique. In its other sense it means pregnant, hardly a flattering description of a mother-to-be.
Muckle has extended its senses to mean adult or grown up. Thus an expression such as someone's muckle dochter can be ambiguous. She can either be a large (probably not a compliment) daughter or a grown-up daughter. Muckle can also mean high-ranking or important, as in the muckle fowk (people) of the toon.
Muckle fowk have often achieved their muckledom by being wealthy. This reminds me of another muckle saying: Moyen (influence) does muckle, but money does mair (more). True, very true. Our wealthy Westminster politicians are living proof of it.

 By coincidence I just came over the 'many a little makes a mickle' version, with a slightly different implication, in The House with the Green Shutters, p 115:
 [The average Scotsman] has expressed his love of festina lente in business in a score of proverbs – 'bit by bit's the better horse, though big-by-bi-g's the baulder'; 'ca' canny or ye'll cowp'; 'many a little makes a mickle'; and 'creep before ye gang'.

The legend says that the healing water was found by the castle's hunters. When they were hunting in the districts of Košnica and Dobrina, one of them felt sick and he was dragged along the snow towards the road to Dobrina, from where he would be taken by horses to Žusemje Castle. Amongst a large area of snow, they saw a patch of land and water which was not frozen. The sick person was given that water to drink and soon he got well.
Many other stories about the miraculous healing of people who drank that water originated later. After those legends, which represent the oldest data on the healing powers of the water in Dobrina, the name DOBRINA CASTLE SPRING originated.
The settlement of Dobrina is an excellent starting point for a walk to nearby Žusem located on the 669 m high rise where two churches stand, the first one is the Parish Church of St. Valentine, however, the second one is the 700 year old established Church of St. Jacob, which has valuable preserved frescoes from the 15th and 16th century and chandeliers made of local glass. In the nearby small village of Tinje, the archaeological finds Tinje and the remains of the sunken Žamerk Castle are located. Here, objects from the late Antique and Early Slavic period were found. In Javoršica the partisan hospital is still preserved. You can get additional information at Društvo Izviri (Springs Association).

How To Sing Well In Chillier Weather
We all know how difficult it can be during the colder months in Canada – everything takes longer, and sometimes it's so cold, it's dangerous to be out in the elements for too long. This kind of weather has a direct impact on singers as well, so here are three tips to help you sing well during those cold winter months:
#1. Dress for Success:
Dressing for the weather just seems like common sense, but there are a few extra things you can do to help your voice out. Anytime your body shivers, you are creating tension, which directly impacts your sound. Make sure you're wearing enough layers so that your body doesn't need to shiver to create warmth. Protect your neck with a scarf, and try to cover your mouth and nose if it's really cold outsie.
#2. Nourish Yourself:
It can be easy to forget to eat well, since we often turn to more comfortable food fare during the winter months. It's especially important before a concert to ensure that you're giving your body the best food and drink possible, so that you can be at your best. Hydration is especially important during winter months, since we often have to exert ourselves more, and the city is so dry in the winter. Make sure you're drinking enough water!
#3. Warm-up Well:
It's important to always warm-up before singing, but this becomes especially important during the winter months. Because of the dry air, and the cold air, our bodies produce more mucus, and dries our throat out. Give yourself an extra few minutes to warm up, and make sure to hydrate as you sing!
How else can you prepare yourself to sing well in chillier weather? Tell us in the comments below!

Encyclopedia of Iranian butterflies released
18 Aug 2012 16:09
Alireza Naderi, researcher and butterfly specialist, has completed a field guide on Iranian butterflies which, as he claimed, is the result of over 400 trips in and outside of Iran.
IBNA: In an interview with IBNA, Naderi said the book is a field guide on butterflies in Iran.
As he said, the term "field guide" is used to refer to guidebooks which can be easily used in workplaces; unlike Atlases, field guides are not very heavy and can be taken to the fields where studies are being held.
He asserted that the book is the first work of its kind in Iran to be published on butterflies and follows all international standards.
Butterflies' ecology and behaviors, their natural habitats and preserving them are some of the topics discussed in the book.
Elsewhere in his interview, Naderi said as many as 200 kinds of butterflies are covered in the volume while over 406 (and increasing) types have so far been identified in Iran.
A total of 1,000 copies of the book are published by Iranology Publications. Each copy is arranged in 272 pages.

Kintu created the kingdom of Buganda by forcefully taking over the five clans that lived in the region. To signify his victory over a clan, he would sleep in the conquered leader's home; tradition says that Buganda was the name of the first house that he slept in after his victory over Bemba and his tribe. Buganda was later used to refer to the entire area he subdued.
Kintu Kato is not to be confused with Kintu, the first person on the earth according to Buganda legend. Kato Kintu gave himself the name Kintu, a name that he knew the Baganda associated with the father of all people.

Behaviour of Construction Output in Kenya
An ARIMA Model
In a recent investigation of ways to enhance the role of the construction industry in the economy of Kenya, methods of modeling the construction activity were explored. This is because there remains a problem in the construction industry failing to meet the demand for constructed facilities in the country at the macrolevel. In the exploration, it was noted that ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models have widely been used in modeling the construction industry – either as a whole or the different sectors of the industry - around the world. This modeling approach which is also popularly known as the Box-Jenkins approach was adopted in this study. This paper is a report of the study. Construction output data collected and analyzed in this paper was obtained from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) for the period between 1977 and 2019 – 43 years. The developed ARIMA model was evaluated on its predictive power on the basis of an out-of-sample forecast. The study adopted two measures of accuracy - MAPE, and RMSE - which produced fairly good results. Therefore, the model can be used for forecasting construction output in Kenya. Finally, it is recommended that the model be applied in setting construction production targets at the macro-level and guiding policy formulation to stimulate higher performance of the construction industry in Kenya.

Northern Kites, the project that brought the red kite back to the North-East of England
Northern Kites was one of the northeast of England's most high profile wildlife initiatives. The aim of the project was to return breeding red kites to the region whilst providing its communities and people with an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate one of the most spectacular elements of our wild heritage.
The Northern Kites Partners worked together to re-introduce red kites to their former breeding range in the north of England, after an absence of 170 years, and provided opportunities for people to see these spectacular birds. This project was a world first in re-introducing kites into a semi-urban environment centred on Gateshead's Derwent Valley.

NZSCM's Six Top Tips for Safe, Effective Laser and IPL
If you're considering a laser or IPL to improve your skin, we have important advice to make sure you're safe.
In New Zealand , there are no regulations to stop untrained people from using lasers and IPL machines. To keep safe, you'll need to pick your operator carefully and ask the right questions yourself. Here's what to look out for.
1. Any brown spot should have been checked by a doctor within 3 months of treatment to make sure it's not cancerous. Treating a cancerous spot with laser could be dangerous.
2. Your operator should advise against treatment if you're tanned. Treating tanned skin risks burns, blisters, scars and white patches.
3. You should be offered eye protection.
4. Ask if your operator has completed a Laser Safety Course.
5. Your operator should tell you to protect your skin from the sun before and after treatment with sunscreen, clothing and a hat.
6. Your operator should ask you questions about eye colour, skin colour and tanning ability, to discover your skin type. This determines safe treatment settings for you.

JavaScript Interaction between Iframe and Parent
On this page, a document in an iframe uses JavaScript to interact with its parent document. First we show how the document in the iframe can get references to the iframe element containing it and to the containing document and its properties and objects. Then we provide an example below which demonstrates how to access variables and invoke functions in the parent document, and reference and modify its elements.
A document in an iframe can obtain a reference to the iframe element containing it through the frameElement property of the window object. The frameElement property provides access to a variety of other properties, including offsetHeight, parentNode, ownerDocument, and much more. You could use it to access any object or property in the containing document. Here are a few examples:
var ifrm = window.frameElement; // reference to iframe element container
var doc = ifrm.ownerDocument; // reference to container's document
var form = doc.forms[0]; // reference to first form in container document
However, unless you are trying to access specific properties of the iframe element itself, it is simpler to use the parent property to access the containing document. For example, you can reference a form in the containing document as follows:
// reference to first form in parent document
var form = parent.document.forms[0];
// or, using form id instead
var form = parent.document.getElementById('myForm');
The parent keyword can also be used to access global variables or invoke functions in the main document from the document inside the iframe, as the example below demonstrates.
Note: These cross-document interactions are only possible if the documents have the same origin. The postMessage method provides the means of interacting cross-domain.
Demonstrating Access to Parent from Iframe
Click the buttons in the iframe below to interact with the containing document as described. The JavaScript for the example is displayed below the iframe. You can right-click on the iframe to view its document's source code.
JavaScript for the Example
The JavaScript displayed here is included in the iframed document above to perform the tasks demonstrated. Code comments provide some explanation.
// get reference to form to attach button onclick handlers
var form = document.getElementById('iframeDemoForm');
// display offsetHeight of frameElement containing iframed document
form.elements.button1.onclick = function() {
 this.form.elements.display.value = window.frameElement.offsetHeight;
// increment and display counter variable contained in parent document
form.elements['button2'].onclick = function() {
 this.form.elements['display'].value =
 'counter in parent document is:'+ parent.counter;
form.elements.button3.onclick = function() {
 var re = /[^-a-zA-Z!,'?\s]/g; // to filter out unwanted characters
 // get reference to greeting text box in containing document
 var fld = parent.document.forms['demoForm'].elements['greeting'];
 var val = fld.value.replace(re, '');
 // display value in iframed document's text box
 this.form.elements.display.value = 'The greeting is:'+ val;
form.elements.button4.onclick = function() {
 parent.clearGreeting(); // call function in parent document
More examples of cross-document referencing are listed in the upper right.

Eureka California Weather
The clear part of the year in Eureka starts on June 2 and lasts 4-5 months and ends on October 17, but rarely starts until March 18. The growing season in Eureska lasts 3-4 months (from November 15th to November 16th) and it is often the best time to ski in and around Eureka until November 26th, when fresh powder is deep. It lasts 2-3 months from June to October, rarely beginning on March 19 and ending on December 1, except for a few weeks in mid-November and December, usually on the East Coast.
The annual snow is deep in December, especially in late November, and weather stations report that there is a good chance of rain in mid-December and rain until mid-December. The rainy season lasts 6.1 months, with the highest probability of rain in one day.
If you are looking for a very warm time to visit Eureka, the hottest months are August, July and then September, but these are the driest months. The warmest time of the year is usually late August and early September, where the peak is regularly 67. Although temperatures typically vary considerably from night to day, dew points tend to change more slowly, so temperatures rarely drop below 9.7 degrees at night. While temperatures can drop at night, sweltering days are usually followed by sweltering nights.
Eureka gets temperatures from the cold ocean currents and comes with quite a lot of wind, which often makes the temperatures appear colder than they are.
The windiest day of the year was June 22, and the wind came from the north, that is, from the north. This year's windy day will be June 23, with wind gusts of 30 to 40 miles per hour and an average wind speed of 20 miles per hour.
Due to the increasing degree days alone, the first spring blooms will appear in Eureka at the end of April or the beginning of May, the first blooms in spring from 14 March. Based on these values, a visit to Eureska in the summer months (August, September and October) in early September and early October is good. Daylight saving time (Daylight saving time) is observed from spring (March 13) and lasts 7-8 months and ends in autumn (November 7).
Based on these values, a visit to Eureka in the summer months (August, September and October) is best in early September or early October. According to tourism statistics, the best time to visit Eureska is in the winter months of June, July, August and September, from the beginning of July to the beginning of August. June and August are the busiest seasons for tourism in Euredka, so overnight stays and other accommodations can cost more than usual. According to this figure, the worst time to visit Euringka is from June to August at the end of August to mid-September and the worst time of the year for visiting in October and early November is the end of September to the end of October. Based on these figures, the worst time to visit EUREKA is from May to July from mid-July to June or from late November to December.
Daytime highs range between 67 and 2ºF, but it will feel cool due to the humidity and wind. Daily highs range from 68 to 1ºF, with a maximum temperature of 67.2ºC and a low of -1.5ºB.
I like mild temperatures, but Eureka has a serious shortage of warm, hot temperatures, and I think this will lower my rating from "B" to "C." If you like warmer, hotter temperatures, then you probably don't like the mild temperatures as much as I do, and it's probably not the best choice for you. I like mild temperatures - Eureska Has an extreme lack of warm and hot temperatures, with a maximum temperature of 67.2 oC and a low value of -1.5 oB. If you like it warm or hot, then it is probably not the ideal place to live in, especially in winter.
This is caused by a phenomenon called buoyancy, where surface water is transported away from the coast and cool underground water reaches the surface. I bet the temperatures in the 50s and 60s feel colder in Eureka than anywhere else, because there's a lot of cold water on the seabed instead of warm, hot water.
While waves with trainers will be possible on Sunday, the swell will mitigate the moderate threat of dangerous surf. The gusty northerly winds will continue through Monday, with light northerly winds expected north of the cape. On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be plenty of sunshine, on Thursday a few showers and thunderstorms are possible.
I have asked a lot at windmapper.com and Eureka and Arcata seem to be in a kind of wind-free area. Summer is cool, dry and mostly clear in Eureska, and winter warm and dry, with a few showers and thunderstorms in the evening, but mostly sunny and clear. Winter is cold, wet and wetter than in recent years, with plenty of rain and snow. Summers are cool and dry, mostly clearer in New York, and winters are cold and colder than in recent years in California.
