Managing PPPs for Budget Sustainability: The Case of PPPs in Portugal, from Problems to Solutions
M Abrantes de Sousa, PPP Lusofonia, PT
The case study of the PPP program experience in Portugal focuses on the issue of budget sustainability. Though PPPs have clearly contributed to Portugal's budget and external debt problems, lessons can be learned about this can be avoided.
Managing PPPs for Budget Sustainability: Lessons from the Portuguese Experience
The work consists of a case study of the PPP program experience in Portugal, focusing on the issue of budget sustainability.
Portugal is one of the countries that has relied the most on concession and PPP contracts to meet its public investment needs, even as the project finance market retracted in the financial crisis. As a result, the public sector has assumed considerable project risks in the form of availability payments, either at project onset, or upon contract renegotiations.
In fact, PPPs, which were once seen as part of the solution to Portugal's investment needs, are now clearly contributing to the budget sustainability and public debt problems which plague Portugal.
The key areas of analysis include:
1. The recourse to PPPs in the context of a severe Government budget constraint and limited public investment funding capacity: PPPs, Budget Framework Law and the Maastricht criteria
2. Individual PPP projects , selection, priorities and the overall PPP and public investment programme
3. The legal and organizational framework for managing the PPP contracts and budgeting for PPP liabilities and fiscal risks
4. Managing the PPP program in the financial crisis, public tenders, financing and renegotiations
5. Resolving the fiscal risks related to PPP contracts in the future in order to help resolve Portugal external debt problem.
The Portugal PPP case study details the impact of PPPs on Portugal's debt crisis, and draws lessons and recommendations for managing individual PPP contracts and overall PPP programs in a manner consistent with reducing fiscal risks and improving budget sustainability.

How Often Do Lions Need To Eat?
Lions are believed to feed every three or four days, and need on average between 5kg and 7kg of meat a day.
But they can go without food for more than a week and then tear into prey, eating up to 50kg of meat at a time – that's almost a quarter of the animal's body weight.
How long can a lion go without eating?
14 days
How much food does a lion need per day?
Big Cats Require Big Calories
Studies of wild lions have estimated that they eat between 10 and 25 pounds of food per day. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums recommends slightly less for captive animals, and suggests that the average male requires 8 pounds of food per day, while females require about 6 pounds.
What does a lion need to survive?
Their tan color allows lions to blend in with the savannas, open woodlands and deserts in which they live. Lions primarily hunt hoofed animals, such as zebras and wildebeest, so they have developed loose skin on their bellies that protects them from the frantic kicks of their prey.
How do lions feed?
Lions usually eat their prey at the site of the hunt. However, if they kill their prey in the water, they drag it to the ground and then eat it. If they do not finish all the meat at a time, they safeguard it from scavengers and wait for some hours before eating it.
Are Lions loyal to their mate?
Lions live in prides that consist of one primary male lion, several females and one or two lesser males. The primary male mates with his lionesses. Females might also mate with more than one partner. Several females are likely to be in heat at the same time.
Are Lions loyal?
The lion will definitely kill the person who raised him since birth exactly because he is so loyal to him. Lions are nothing but big cats. They behave like one too.

Flexible AA Probe
Flexible AA Ultrasonic Probe is an accessory to IPEC's Partial Discharge Spot Testing instruments. It allows the user to complete a thorough inspection of electrical assets as the probe can reach hard to get places. The probe is a user-friendly device which has been designed ergonomically for ease of use.
Used along with a PD-SG series device, the AA Ultrasonic Probe can be used to detect Surface Tracking in difficult to reach locations. The flexible head allows for positioning in any direction whilst being able to clearly read the live results from the test unit.
Surface tracking can seriously damage high voltage insulating surfaces in a way that will ultimately lead to flashover and complete failure of the insulator. This discharge activity creates acoustic emission that can be detected using the Ultrasonic Probe. The magnitude of the acoustic emission is indicative of the degree and severity of discharge activity.

Changing the Cube Date Format
The projects that are available for download from the CubeStore have a default date format set in the cubes of "MM/DD/YY". This can be easily changed in the project to accommodate various regional preferences.
To alter the default date format, change the Date table in the staging database. The table will have a clock icon next to it and it is possible that this table is in the data warehouse depending on the version of the project that was downloaded from the CubeStore.
 1. Expand the Date table found in the staging database in the Jet Data Manager and identify the DisplayDate field.
 2. Right-click on the "Custom value" and select Edit Custom Transformation. The Custom Transformation window will appear.
 The number value "1" is part of the SQL "CONVERT" function and represents the "MM/DD/YY" format. The "1" should be replaced with the appropriate number that represents the desired format. A list of formats can be viewed under the Remarks section at the following link: Cast and Convert. In this example we will use the British/French standard which is represented by the number "3".
 3. Click Ok and then deploy and execute the Date table in the data warehouse.
 4. Click on the Cubes tab in the Jet Data Manager and deploy and execute the OLAP Servers node at the top of the Cubes tab.
 The default date format was originally set to "MM/DD/YY" which would display as the following in Excel:
 5. Once the change has been implemented, deployed and executed in the Date table in the staging database, data warehouse and cubes, viewers will see dates with the designated date format in Excel. In this example: "DD/MM/YY".

Q: I think my baby mouse is sick. She has not been urinating for the last 48 hours, and this happened twice. Also, three days ago her pee was a very hot orange color. I'm so very worried about my baby.
A: When any animal does not produce urine, it is a cause for worry. This usually occurs for two reasons. First, if an animal becomes very dehydrated, it may produce very little urine while it remains depleted of water. A mouse may become dehydrated due to something as simple as the water bottle not working or not being filled. Or a mouse may become dehydrated because it is sick and is not drinking water. The second reason animals do not produce urine is due to kidney disease. In some stages of kidney disease, the response is to stop producing urine.
In either instance, dehydration or kidney disease, the lack of urine is a significantly bad sign. Urine helps the body regulate water and electrolytes. Urine also helps the body remove harmful waste products. When urine is not produced, the body becomes metabolically unbalanced, which can lead to very serious disease and further organ dysfunction leading to death in a number of days.
Finally, sometimes the animal is producing urine but a blockage in the urethra prevents it from urinating. This could be another reason why your mouse cannot urinate. If this is the case, it is an emergency that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

text: Perhaps the most obvious feature of the temple is its relative size and emptiness. Most citizens of Seacourt worship at private shrines or pray to foreign gods. The gods and goddesses of the ocean are much more important to the citizens of Seacourt than the Twelve Lords who, according to local legend, hold most of their power on land. Furthermore, the hill upon which the Abbarathian sits is surrounded by the wealthy elite and the offices of municipal power. It isn't particularly inviting to the commoners, sailors, or foreigners who make up the majority of Seacourt's population from day-to-day.

Pipeline: Split a CSV File
In this Page
I want to take a CSV file and split the data out into two other CSV files. While this is not a typical use case for SnapLogic, it does provide examples of how to use several Snaps.
Snaps Used
For this scenario, the following Snaps are used:
 - File Reader
 - CSV Parser
 - Filter
 - Router
 - Sort
 - CSV Format
 - File Writer
Other Requirements
 - A sample CSV file loaded into the SnapLogic file system. This example refers to a employee directory file, directory.csv, that contains the following columns: Name, Location, Extension, Email, Title, Department, Dept ID.
 1. Upload your CSV file to the SnapLogic file system. See the Files Page topic for more information.
 2. Create a new pipeline by clicking the (+) tab.
 3. Add and configure a File Reader Snap.
 - For the File field, select the file you uploaded in Step 1. Because you are accessing the file system, no authentication information is needed.
 4. Add a CSV Parser Snap. You will use the default configuration.
 5. Add and configure a Filter Snap. If your source file is a company directory and you only want data for the Sales team, you would configure the Filter Snap with an expression to restrict the data to just that, for example:
 $Department == "Sales"
 Be sure to select the expression toggle (=) in front of the field.
 6. Add and configure a Router Snap.
 - Determine which information you want to route to each of the two files you will create. In this example, you will filter by the Location column and move some groups to one file and the rest to the other file.
 - Add a row for each expression you want to process, for example:
 $Location == "Field" to output0
 $Location == "HQ" to output1
 output0 and output1 are the default values for the first two output views. To rename the views, you can edit them on the Views tab.
 7. (Optional) Add and configure two Sort Snaps, one off of each Router output. If you want to sort the data being written to the files, then you would add a Sort Snap.
 - Add a Sort Path and set it to the column you want to sort by. To sort by more than one column, add additional values.
 - Set Sort Order to the correct value.
 8. Add two CSV Format Snaps, one off of each Router output. You will use the default configuration.
 9. Add and configure two File Writer Snaps, one off of each Router output.
 - For each output, set the File Name to the name of the file where you want the results written to, including a path if necessary. See File Writer for information on how to write files to different locations. If written to the SnapLogic database, you can access the files through Manager.
 - Add the appropriate account type for the location where you want to write the files to.

IMF: How social unrest can inspire changes in policy
Protests driven by the pandemic's economic fallout are on the rise, with potentially long-lasting economic consequences.
Protests can be catalysts for political reform and social change. But what impact do they have on the economy?
According to the latest Global Peace Index, the number of riots, general strikes and anti-government demonstrations around the world have increased by a staggering 244 percent in the last decade. Lockdowns and fears of contagion forced a temporary lull. But in virtually every region of the world, demonstrators are making a comeback. Causes range from frustration over governments' handling of the crisis to mounting inequality and corruption—factors that tend to heighten existing tensions and disparities, and have led to social unrest in the aftermath of previous pandemics.
Using the Reported Social Unrest Index (RSUI)—an index developed by IMF staff based on press coverage—we find that the short to medium-term economic costs of social unrest can in fact be quite large, especially in emerging markets and developing economies (we do not study the potential long-term impacts).
A new wave of unrest could affect the recovery
In our working paper, we estimate the macroeconomic impact of social unrest over the period _PHONE_. In addition, we identify social unrest events—events that create an unusually high increase in the RSUI—and classify these into three categories, based on the underlying cause of the trigger: political, socio-economic and mixed.
To give a real-world example, think of the demonstrations that followed former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto's election in 2012 or Chile's presidential election in 2013—this is a less significant shock equivalent to one standard deviation, which can reduce GDP by about 0.2 percentage points six months after the shock.
On average, GDP remains 1 percentage point below its pre-shock level a year after a major protest. Image: IMF
By comparison, the protests of July 2019 in Hong Kong SAR and the yellow vest protests of 2018 in France—which meet the threshold of social unrest events as defined above—resulted in an increase of 4 standard deviations in the RSUI causing a GDP reduction of about 1 percentage point.
These effects on GDP seem to be driven by sharp contractions in manufacturing and services (sectoral dimension), and consumption (demand dimension). Our findings also suggest that social unrest affects activity by lowering confidence and increasing uncertainty.
Not all countries and events are equal
We also find that the adverse impact of unrest is typically larger in countries with weak institutions and limited policy space. Thus, countries with weak fundamentals pre-pandemic are expected to suffer the most should social discontent turn into unrest.
The economic impact of unrest also differs by the type of event: protests motivated by socio-economic concerns result in sharper GDP contractions compared to those associated mainly with politics/elections. Demonstrations triggered by a combination of both socio-economic and political factors—not unlike what we saw in Tunisia and Thailand earlier this year—have the biggest impact.
Policy matters
Public protests can be an important expression of the need to change policy. Governments need to listen and respond, but also try to anticipate people's needs with policies aimed at giving everyone a fair shot at prosperity. Boosting employment, containing the long-term impact of the crisis and protecting those who have been left behind must remain priorities. To ensure success and avoid strife, recent IMF staff research notes that reforms require a broad social dialogue on the role of the state and how to sustainably finance budget pressures. Otherwise, the economic costs of the pandemic will likely be compounded by those of the ensuing unrest.

"The county was formed in 1750 from Bladen County. It was named for George Anson, Baron Anson, a British admiral, who circumnavigated the globe from 1740 to 1744, and later became First Lord of the Admiralty. Like its parent county, Anson County was originally a vast territory with indefinite northern and western boundaries. Reductions in its extent began in 1753, when the northern part of it became Rowan County. In 1762 the western part of Anson County became Mecklenburg County. In 1779 the northern part of what remained of Anson County became Montgomery County, and the part east of the Pee Dee River became Richmond County. Finally, in 1842 the western part of Anson County was combined with the southeastern part of Mecklenburg County to become Union County."
Anson County was named in honor of British Admiral Lord George Anson, a First Lord of the Admiralty. He commanded the vessel which brought Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Germany, to her future husband King George III. Germans to the area around Anson County, as did many settlers from the British Isles, Africa, and Moravia. In 1750 Anson County was formed from Bladen County. At that time, it reached all the way to the Mississippi River. Although it has been cut in physical size five times since then, the people of that county have enabled its presence to reach beyond the Mississippi to the far corners of the world.

Smoke From Australian Bushfires in January, 2020
- published: 06 Jan 2020
- views: 56464
This movie displays the extraordinary amount of smoke injected into the atmosphere from the Australian fires and its subsequent eastward dispersal observed by CALIPSO and MODIS over the past few days. The underlying RGB color image (courtesy of NASA Worldview) is from the Aqua/MODIS instrument for January 2, 2020, which shows a plume of brown smoke extending from the southeastern coast of Australia, over the Tasman Sea and beyond into the Pacific Ocean. The overlaid vertical cross sections show CALIPSO lidar profile observations along one of its orbits on three successive days (December 31, 2019 – January 2, 2020). The bright colors indicate the presence of small particles (aerosols) and the white color indicates clouds. Visible in each of the cross sections near 35o S is a thick layer of smoke from the fires at altitudes above 9 miles (14.5 km). The dark shading below these layers is due to the absence of lidar signals below the opaque smoke layers. These layers contain very small particles and have optical properties similar to smoke. The sequence of CALIPSO tracks that are featured in the movie indicates the continued transport of the smoke layer to the east. We anticipate that the plume will continue its movement over the next days, and the CALIPSO team will continue to monitor its progression. Credit: NASA\'s Langley Research Center...


need to understand what exactly happens when you click the big execution button.
Frontend click -> Backend verifies and deploys executions -> (based on environments) orborus deploys a new worker -> worker finds actions to execute -> your app is executed.
 1. A workflow is executed
 2. The backend verifies whether you can execute and deploys to environment
 3. Orborus is listening to environment and deploys worker if it's the correct one
 4. Worker deploys actions if they have the right environment
 5. App executes and returns data back to the execution
As previously stated, a lot can go wrong. Here's the most common issues:
 - Networking (firewalls / proxies)
 - Badly formed apps.
 - Bad environment
General debugging
This part is mean to describe how to go about finding the issue you're having with executions. In most cases, you should start from the top of the list previously described in the following way:
 1. Find out what environment your action(s) are running under by clicking the App and seeing "Environment" dropdown. In this case (and default) is "Shuffle". Environments can be specified / changed under the path /admin Check execution 3
 2. Check if the workflow executed at all by finding the execution line in the shuffle-backend container. Take note that it mentions environment "Shuffle", as found in the previous step.
docker logs -f shuffle-backend
Check execution 1
 1. If it executed, check whether Orborus is running, before checking it's logs for "Container \<container_id> is created. The container_id is the worker it has deployed. Take not of the environment again at the end of the line. If you don't see this line, it's most likely because it's running in the wrong environment.
Check if shuffle-orborus is running
docker ps # Check if shuffle-orborus is running
Find whether it was deployed or not
docker logs -f shuffle-orborus # Get logs from shuffle-orborus
Check execution 2
Check environment of running shuffle-orborus container.
docker inspect shuffle-orborus | grep -i "ENV"
Expected env result where "Shuffle" corresponds to the environment Check execution 4
 1. Check whether the worker executed your app. Remember that we found \<container_id> previously by checking the logs of shuffle-orborus? Now we need that one. Workers are and will always be verbose, specifically for the reason of potential debugging.
Find logs from a docker container
docker logs -f CONTAINER_ID
Check execution 5
As can be seen in the image above, is shows the exact execution order it takes. It starts by finding the parents, before executing the child process after it's finished. Take note of the specific apps being executed as well. It says "Time to execute \<app_id> with app \<app_name:app_version>. This indicates the app THAT WILL be executed. The following lines saying "Container \<container_id> is the container created with this app.
 1. App debugging in itself might be the trickiest. There are a lot of factors like branches, bad workflow building etc that might come into play. This builds on the same concept as the worker, where you pass the container ID it specified.
Get the app logs
docker logs -f CONTAINER_ID # The CONTAINER_ID found in the previous worker logs
As you will notice, app logs can be quite verbose (optional in a later build). In essence, if you see "RUNNING NORMAL EXECUTION" in the end, there's a 99.9% chance that it worked, otherwise some issue might have occurred.
Please notify me if you need help debugging app executions ASAP, as I've done a lot of it, but it's more tricky than the other steps.
FAQ
Q: What is multiline? how is that represented when filling out the values?
A: Multiline means the field will be larger and easier to use in the UI. E.g. you can use newlines.
Q: Are there different schema types other than string?
A: The only schema type is currently string, but we'll migrate to at least have number, list, bool and object later. You can put whatever there - it's not used.
Q: How do the options function? does defining it automatically prevent user input? or can there be both?
A: The first option is always chosen (at least that's the point). Make an empty entry if it should be blank by default
Q: Would it be possible to alter the yaml format to be able to group actions into sections? this could also provide a way to section stuff in the UI presentation so it's not one giant list of actions
A: Yep, categorization will come. Not possible right now, but if you add a field like "category" to each action, we could incorporate that right away in the backend
Q: What are the possible return schema types?
A: Return schema: You can return it pretty much however you want and we'll make it into a string. Follows same as #2: We'll start using specific casting later
Q: What's the difference in using the UI app + action creation process vs manually creating the files?
A: UI App creator can only make Rest API's with specific actions. It generates the python code and api.yaml in the backend / docker image
Q: In app creation UI, what's a query?
A: Query = parameter = whatever is at the end of urls after ?: _URL_
Q: In app creation UI, what are the extra configuration items used for? examples? also, middle input box has example text cut off partway through.
A: Extra config was added recently (last 2 weeks) and was added to make it possible to e.g. add headers to all actions at once, as well as extra "required" parameters. It's not finished - this is just the start stage. If you add a name in there, it will be required to fill out as authentication mechanism from the user
Q: In app creation UI, in the "New action" popup, what are queries?
A: Fixed the links for new releases! The documentation is generally not very good for the app creator yet (lots todo here: _URL_
Q: How does Shuffle handle refresh tokens?
A: We don't yet (June 2021). The best way around this is to refresh every time.


Making Sounds and Music
Espruino isn't fast enough to play MP3 or WAV music files, but it can output beeps of different frequencies using its pulse width moduled outputs. In this tutorial we'll show you how to make sound using a speaker from an old PC.
You'll Need
Wiring Up
Connect the two wires of the speaker to the Espruino board - one wire to ground, and the other wire to a Signal Pin that is capable of PWM (you can get a list of pins that are capable by typing analogWrite()).
Note: This is probably really bad for your Espruino board. Ideally you'd add a transistor to amplify the signal - or at the very least you'd put a resistor in series to limit the current. Given the boards don't cost that much, we decided that it was worth taking a chance though.
First off, let's define the pin that our buzzer is on. On the F3 board I've used pin A9:
var BUZZER=A9;
Now, we can try using the PWM output to see what happens:
analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5);
This should create a beep, but to control the frequency you need to supply an extra argument:
analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5, { freq: 1000 } );
This will create a 1kHz beep. You can stop the beeping by setting the output to 0:
Next, we'll create a function that plays whatever frequency we give it. If we give it 0, it will stop the buzzing.
function freq(f) {
 if (f===0) digitalWrite(BUZZER,0);
 else analogWrite(BUZZER, 0.5, { freq: f } );
We can test it:
But now, we want to play some music! We'll need the following 2 websites:
The second website uses the letters a-g for lower pitch notes, and A-G for higher-pitch notes. We'll make a function which goes through a string of characters, one at a time, and plays the corresponding pitch note:
var pitches = {
function step() {
 var ch = tune[pos];
 if (ch!== undefined) pos++;
 if (ch in pitches) freq(pitches[ch]);
 else freq(0); // off
Now we just have to define the tune, and pos - which is the position in the tune:
var tune = "c c c d e e d e f g C C C g g g e e e c c c g f e d c";
var pos = 0;
And we can start playing the music:
setInterval(step, 100);
To restart the song, just type:
You can load another song:
var tune = "g e g g e g A A g f e d e f";
And if you want to restart the song when the button is pressed, just type:
setWatch("pos=0", BTN, true);

NSNotification objects encapsulate information so that it can be broadcast to other objects by an NSNotificationCenter object. An NSNotification object (referred to as a notification) contains a name, an object, and an optional dictionary. The name is a tag identifying the notification. The object is any object that the poster of the notification wants to send to observers of that notification (typically, it is the object that posted the notification). The dictionary stores other related objects, if any. NSNotification objects are immutable objects.
Basically - you are handed these objects when you receive a notification - the original poster of the notification can put objects into an NSDictionary, you can get this dictionary using the userInfo: method.

The Japanese do not just dream of perfect ski slopes, they are developing the technology to produce them.
Six Japanese companies have carried out 'extensive research' to provide artificial snow for Japan's skiers when nature fails to fill the need (European patents 440 256 and 440 257).
Existing snow machines only work properly at very low ambient temperatures; otherwise they just produce slush. The new trick is to use granules of polymer, such as polyacrylic acid salts, which absorb a large volume of water. The snow makers then mix the bloated polymer with natural snow, if available, or other artificial snow. Finally they freeze the mixture.
Ice bridges form between the polymer granules and snow crystals to make good snow for skiing. The companies have tried colouring the snow with dyes and adding perfume, so that the snow smells nice as well as looking good.

Failure to Respond to a Permission Request: What Does it Mean?
Why seek permission? If permission is unnecessary for a fair use defense, why ask for it? First, acquiring permission bypasses the need for a legal dispute (and the uncertainties and expenses associated with it). Second, seeking permission also demonstrates your good faith and may mitigate the damages assessed if your fair use defense fails and there is a negative decision against you.
Does a failure to respond to a permission request mean that there is a lower risk of being pursued. We doubt it. Although, as anecdotal evidence, we can offer this story: Our mom called a lawyer at a well-known movie company for permission for her nonprofit to use a licensed character in a presentation. His response, "You never made this call." In other words, having to say "no," would have obligated the attorney to follow up.
FYI Dept. -- Silence doesn't mean legal assent. We remember getting letters from lawyers that would say things like, "A failure to respond shall confirm blah, blah, blah." But 99.9% of the time that's just not the case. Inaction, or silence rarely triggers any legal conclusion (either affirmative or negative). For example, there's a famous 19th-century English contract case in which a man offered to buy a horse and stated that unless he heard otherwise from the seller, "I consider the horse mine." The British court ruled that his assumption didn't create a contract; the other party's acceptance had to be clearly expressed.

- Title Animation of high-resolution infrared images of Earth
- Released 29/04/2005 3:02 pm
- Copyright ESA
After closest approach to Earth, Rosetta's VIRTIS took a series of high-resolution images of our planet in visible and infrared light from a distance of 250 000 kilometres and with a resolution of 62 kilometres per pixel. The images are shown as they were acquired, without rotating them. The North Pole is on the left of the image. This animation was produced using infrared images taken in the so-called 'thermal' infrared wavelengths, which catches the heat emitted from Earth's surface. This is independent on solar illumination so, even if only half of Earth was illuminated by the Sun, VIRTIS could still se the full Earth disk. The animation shows the complex dynamics of Earth's atmosphere.


text: Closed-loop decoder adaptation (CLDA) is an emerging paradigm for achieving rapid performance improvements in online brain-machine interface (BMI) operation. Designing an effective CLDA algorithm requires making multiple important decisions, including choosing the timescale of adaptation, selecting which decoder parameters to adapt, crafting the corresponding update rules, and designing CLDA parameters. These design choices, combined with the specific settings of CLDA parameters, will directly affect the algorithm's ability to make decoder parameters converge to values that optimize performance. In this article, we present a general framework for the design and analysis of CLDA algorithms and support our results with experimental data of two monkeys performing a BMI task. First, we analyze and compare existing CLDA algorithms to highlight the importance of four critical design elements: the adaptation timescale, selective parameter adaptation, smooth decoder updates, and intuitive CLDA parameters. Second, we introduce mathematical convergence analysis using measures such as mean-squared error and KL divergence as a useful paradigm for evaluating the convergence properties of a prototype CLDA algorithm before experimental testing. By applying these measures to an existing CLDA algorithm, we demonstrate that our convergence analysis is an effective analytical tool that can ultimately inform and improve the design of CLDA algorithms.

Solomon Islands Water Storage Reservoir (WSR) Industry Analysis
Title: Navigating the Waters of Solomon Islands' Emerging Water Storage Reservoir Industry
The Solomon Islands, an archipelago in the South Pacific, is experiencing a growing need for efficient water management systems to meet the demands of its expanding population and developing economy. In this article, we'll examine the current scenario of the Water Storage Reservoir (WSR) industry in the Solomon Islands, explore new projects, identify major drivers, and offer insights into the industry's future prospects.
The WSR industry in the Solomon Islands is still in its infancy, with a limited number of reservoirs and water management systems in place. The country largely depends on its abundant natural resources, including rainwater and rivers, to meet the water needs of its population. However, as the demand for water continues to rise, there is a growing need for the development of more sophisticated water management infrastructure, including WSRs.
To address the increasing demand for water resources, the Solomon Islands government, along with international development agencies, has initiated several projects aimed at improving the nation's water management infrastructure. Key projects include:
The Honiara Water Supply Project ? This project, supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), aims to improve the water supply system in the capital city of Honiara. The initiative includes the construction of new water storage reservoirs, pipelines, and treatment facilities to increase the city's water supply capacity.
The Water for Kwaio Project ? This community-driven initiative seeks to provide clean and safe drinking water to the Kwaio region in Malaita Province. The project involves the construction of small-scale water storage reservoirs and distribution systems, ensuring that the remote communities in the region have access to reliable water sources.
The WSR industry in the Solomon Islands is primarily driven by three factors:
Population Growth ? The growing population of the Solomon Islands necessitates the development of efficient water management systems to ensure that all residents have access to clean water.
Economic Development ? As the country's economy expands, there is an increasing need for reliable water supplies to support various industries, such as agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing.
International Support ? The involvement of international development agencies, such as the ADB, provides funding and technical assistance, bolstering the growth of the WSR industry in the Solomon Islands.
Although the WSR industry in the Solomon Islands is still in its early stages, there is significant potential for growth, particularly as the government and international partners continue to invest in water management infrastructure. The construction of new WSRs, coupled with the ongoing improvement of existing facilities, will play a crucial role in meeting the country's water needs and supporting its economic development.
In summary, the Water Storage Reservoir industry in the Solomon Islands is gradually emerging, driven by population growth, economic development, and international support. With continued investment and collaboration, the sector's outlook remains positive, paving the way for the Solomon Islands to effectively manage its water resources and ensure a sustainable future for its people.

This paper introduces the process of land consolidation and current use of geographic information systems (GIS) in the Czech Republic. Contemporary land consolidation in the Central European region, unlike Western Europe, has been implemented relatively recently, hence there is no contingency or previous experience to build upon. This brings about an opportunity for a modern design of GIS‐based land consolidation. Although the design of land consolidation projects in the Czech Republic is mainly conducted in CAD software, this paper focuses on the utilisation of GIS and stresses the importance of standardisation of land consolidation data. Standardisation allows automatic processing of data as well as effortless publishing. The author proposes a new object‐oriented data model of the landscape plan (Common Facilities Plan), which allows for the storing of such plans in a central spatial database and adding attribute information to each object, thus providing analysis of the data in a GIS. The data model alongside data standardisation lays the groundwork for the architectural proposal of a new GIS (geoportal) of Common Facilities Plans.
Key words: geographic information system, GIS, land consolidation, common facilities plan, standardisation, geoportal, geospatial data

What is a conservation covenant?
The legal definition of a covenant is: A promise contained in a deed to land or real estate which is binding upon the current owner and all future owners. It defines the limitations, conditions or restrictions on the use of that land.
A conservation covenant is a voluntary agreement made between a landholder and an authorised body (such as a Covenant Scheme Provider) that aims to protect and enhance the natural, cultural and/or scientific values of certain land. The owner continues to own, use and live on the land while the natural values of an area are conserved by the landholder in partnership with the Covenant Scheme Provider.
Covenant Scheme Providers can be not-for-profit organisations, government agencies or local Councils that can enter into conservation covenants with landholders to protect land with conservation values.
Covenants agreed through approved programs can be eligible for taxation concessions.
More information on tax concessions:
- Tax concessions for landowners who enter into conservation covenants
- Tax incentives for conservation.
If your organisation is a Covenant Scheme Provider and you would like your covenant scheme to be approved for the purposes of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, read our guidelines for approval of a covenanting program.

NAME ^
docs/dev/profiling.pod - Profiling Parrot
DESCRIPTION ^
This file documents the use of Parrot's profiling runcore.
Summary
This file provides an introduction on how to profile code written in a Parrot-hosted language. Parrot includes profiling as a built-in runcore which outputs a textual line-based format. This file will generally need to be post-processed, either by a custom script or by tools/dev/pprof2cg.pl, which is installed under lib/3.6.0-devel/tools/dev/pprof2cg.pl in a standard installation.
The profiling runcore can record any annotations added by HLL compilers, though annotations are ignored by pprof2cg.pl and are not recorded by default. This and various other aspects of profiling can be controlled through environment variables, as described below.
Running Code Under the Profiler
In Parrot, profiling capability is provided in the form of a built-in runcore and is available with any installed version of Parrot. The only condition is that you be able to run your code as a series of arguments passed directly to the parrot executable, rather than a "fakecutable" (a native executable that runs built-in hard-coded Parrot bytecode). If you usually run your code via a fakecutable such as perl6, you'll need to run perl6.pbc directly instead. For example, if you run ./perl6 foo.p6, instead run parrot perl6.pbc foo.p6. If your code can run normally when passed to the parrot executable directly, you can easily profile it.
To profile, add -Rprofiling to the command-line invocation of parrot before any .pbc files are added, e.g. ./parrot -Rprofiling perl6.pbc foo.p6. Your program will run more slowly and will end with a message such as
 PROFILING RUNCORE: wrote profile to parrot.pprof.4251
Use tools/dev/pprof2cg.pl to generate Callgrind-compatible output from this file.
You now have a raw profile of your code.
Profile Post-processing Tools
The profiling runcore spits out a line-oriented plain-text file which contains the timing information for each executed instruction and a description of each context change. This data should be sufficient to determine any information about the timing of instructions and subs. The format is intended to be straightforward and amenable to processing by external tools. tools/dev/pprof2cg.pl is included with Parrot and attempts to read a profile generated by the profiling runcore and produce a profile which callgrind-compatible tools (e.g. kcachegrind) can understand.
Bugs and Surprises
In theory the output of pprof2cg.pl should be compatible with kcachegrind. In practice, it isn't. If you have a use case that reliably produces non-sensical results, talk to cotto on #parrot or file a ticket.
Environment Variables
Generally Useful Variables
This section includes environment variables which are likely to be of interest to developers wishing to profile HLL code.
PARROT_PROFILING_FILENAME
This determines the full name of the file where the output will be written, if any. Parrot does not check if the filename exists before opening it for writing and will happily truncate and overwrite any existing files, including previous profiles.
If no value is specified, Parrot will write to a file named parrot.pprof.X, where X is the PID of the Parrot process. When the profiling runcore exits, it will print a message announcing where the profile was written.
This variable can also have the special values stdout and stderr. When either of these values are detected (case-insensitively), Parrot will print its profiling output to STDOUT or STDERR.
PARROT_PROFILING_ANNOTATIONS
This determines whether PIR annotations will be recorded as part of the profile. Annotations are necessary when profiling HLL code, but will cause the profiling runcore to run more slowly. By default, they are disabled. Set this value to enable them.
PARROT_PROFILING_OUTPUT
This determines the type of output which will contain the profile. Current options are pprof and none. pprof is the default and is a ascii-based human-readable format. It can be post-processed into a Callgrind-compatible format by tools/dev/pprof2cg.pl. none writes nothing to the output file. It is most useful for testing and optimizing the profiling runcore itself. It is expected to be of little interest to users wishing to profile PIR and HLL code.
Debugging-Related Variables
These variables are intended primarly for testing of the profiling code itself. You can play with them if you want, but they probably won't help you get any useful work done.
PARROT_PROFILING_CANONICAL_OUPUT
When this is set, the profiling runcore will record all addresses as a single constant value and all times as 1. This option is useful primarily for testing, where it's helpful to have a way to ensure that a given chunk of code will always produce exactly the same profile. If you want this feature enabled, you also probably want to pass a fixed hash seed to Parrot via --hash-seed 1324 to avoid any non-deterministic behavior that hash seed randomization may cause.
This variable is not useful apart from testing the profiling runcore and will most certainly not help you find hotspots in your code.

We consider the collisions of plane gravitational and electromagnetic waves with
distinct wavefronts and of arbitrary polarizations in a Minkowski background. We
first present a new, completely geometric formulation of the characteristic initial
value problem for solutions in the wave interaction region for which initial data are
those associated with the approaching waves. We present also a general approach to
the solution of this problem which enables us in principle to construct solutions in
terms of the specified initial data. This is achieved by re-formulating the nonlinear
dynamical equations for waves in terms of an associated linear problem on the
spectral plane. A system of linear integral "evolution" equations which solve this
spectral problem for specified initial data is constructed. It is then demonstrated
explicitly how various colliding plane wave space-times can be constructed from
given characteristic initial data.

The NFL's rules protect quarterbacks, and for good reason. There simply aren't enough of them who can perform at a high level.
The protections include preventing certain hits on quarterbacks and permitting certain behaviors aimed at allowing quarterbacks to avoid otherwise legal hits. The Panthers propose limiting the latter.
Specifically, Carolina has proposed a rule change aimed at expanding the definition of intentional grounding, on the basis that the current rule doesn't adequately prevent fouls.
Here's the current rule: "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer,facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. If a player intentionally throws a ball to the ground, it is intentional grounding, unless the receiver is surrounded by defenders on an attempted screen pass."
The proposal would remove this sentence: "A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver."
The only problem is that the revised rule would leave the term "realistic chance of completion" undefined. But maybe the wisdom of the proposal is that "realistic chance of completion" doesn't need to be defined. Maybe common sense should apply, since the current definition of "realistic chance of completion" is completely nonsensical.
A pass that "lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" doesn't necessarily have a "realistic chance of completion." A pass that has a realistic chance of completion has a "realistic chance of completion," and fans tends to know it when they see it.
As the rule is currently written and interpreted, the quarterback needs to do little more than spike the ball for intentional grounding to be avoided. So if the current rule is going to remain in place, why not just let a quarterback who is feeling the heat spike the ball?
That would make far more sense than the current rule, which lets the dart not just miss the board but fail to even strike the wall.

The Waikato River is within the city limits here and this site is downstream of the 8 hydro dams and Lake Taupo. Two kilometres downstream from this point is the Hamilton city wastewater treatment discharge point and 10km upstream is the city's water supply take. You also have the Cambridge wastewater treatment plant upstream of that point. The river then runs north of Hamilton to Mercer before heading west and out to the Tasman Sea at Port Waikato.
Landuse upstream of the monitoring site will affect the water quality. High flow events can also elevate the sediment and bacteria levels, which may lead to poor water quality and clarity.

The timing and synchrony of male and female flowering in wheat is a crucial determinant of seed set and may be an important factor affecting gene flow and resilience to climate change. Lukac et al. assess the anther and stigma activity of each floret on developing ears of wheat, Triticum aestivum, and find that synchrony between pollen dehiscence and stigma collapse within a flower is dependent on its relative position in a spike and within a floret. Modelling the observations indicates that the temporal and spatial variability of anther activity within and between spikes may influence the relative resilience of wheat to sudden, extreme climatic events.

text: This paper presents a new bit-plane-wise unequal error protection algorithm for progressive bitstreams transmitted over lossy networks. The proposed algorithm protects a compressed embedded bitstream generated by a 3-D SPIHT algorithm by assigning an unequal amount of forward error correction (FEC) to each bit-plane. The proposed algorithm reduces the amount of side information needed to send the size of each code to the decoder by limiting the number of quality levels to the number of bit-planes to be sent while providing a graceful degradation of picture quality as packet losses increase. We also apply our proposed algorithm to transmission of JPEG 2000 coded images over the Internet. To get additional error-resilience at high packet loss rates, we extend our algorithm to multiple-substream unequal error protection. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is simple, fast and robust in hostile network conditions and, therefore, can provide reasonable picture quality for video applications under varying network conditions.

 - While this does not directly answer the question a cmd+right arrow moves you to the end of the sentence and the cmd+left arrow moves you to the start. Also the opt+right arrow moves you to the end of a word while opt+left arrow moves you to the start of a word. Unless someone comes up with a modifier you will need to go to some keyboard program like simple keys to redefine the keys. I do not think you can redefine there actions in the keyboard preference.

| Effective volume
To generate a washout curve, set up the respirometry system as it is normally used (but without an animal) at the flow rate used for measurements. Make a recording of gas concentration, starting at equilibrium levels. After establishing a baseline, deflect concentration by rapidly exhaling into the incurrent flow upstream from the chamber (or quickly inject a bolus of some gas with different concentration than reference gas). Continue recording as gas concentration rapidly peaks, slowly declines, and eventually returns to equilibrium concentration. Save the data. In LabAnalyst, correct the baseline to zero, even for oxygen files (it will probably help to smooth the data also). Mark a block in the washout curve as it returns to equilibrium. Usually it is best to select from the middle of the washout curve. Then select the effective volume option. LabAnalyst will request the flow rate and compute effective volume.


need, you can use a!relatedRecordData() to filter, sort, and limit the related record set returned from a one-to-many relationship. You can use this function in a query or a read-only grid.
In Design Mode
In Design Mode, you can filter, limit, and sort your related record set by clicking FILTER RELATED RECORDS under Related Record Data. This will walk you through configuring each parameter in the a!relatedRecordData() function.
Back in our example, we can limit the number of comments returned to 1 and sort by the latest value in the createdOn field from the Comment record type.
To configure this in Design Mode:
 1. In the read-only grid, click FILTER RELATED RECORDS under Related Record Data.
 2. Next to Related Record Data, click Edit as Expression. An expression dialog appears with the function a!relatedRecordData().
 3. In the Relationship parameter, enter a relationship reference. In this example, that is recordType!Case.relationships.comments.
 4. In the Limit parameter, enter the number of related records to return. In this example, that is 1.
 5. In the Sort parameter, use a!sortInfo() to sort the related record data. In this example, we'll use the createdOn field from the Comment record type in descending order.
 When applying a sort, you must start your record type reference directly from the related record type (recordType!<Related record type name>). See Filtering and sorting the related record set for more information.
 related-record-data-design-view
 6. Click OK.
In Expression Mode
In Expression Mode, you can filter, sort, and limit a related record set using a!relatedRecordData() in the relatedRecordData parameter of a!recordData() or a!queryRecordType().
To return the latest comment left on each case in a read-only grid, the full expression would look like this:

 ),
 columns: ...
)
Both configurations would return something like this:
Read-only grid with a column that shows the latest comment on a case
See Reference a record type in an expression for more information on how to use relationships in Expression Mode.
Not only can you select related record fields, you can also aggregate across related record fields, and even filter your aggregation to get the exact data you need.
In Design Mode
When configuring a chart component in Design Mode, you can use your related record fields as a Measure and apply additional filters on the measure to specify which data is included in the aggregation.
For example, let's say you want to create a column chart that displays the number of cases associated with each customer, and the number of cases that have a status of "Critical".
Instead of creating two separate charts to display this information, we can use a single chart with two different measures: one calculating the total count of cases for each customer, and the other counting only cases that have a status of critical.
In this example, you'll use the Customer record type as the source of the column chart, and use the name field as the Primary Grouping field. Since the Customer record type has a one-to-many relationship with the Support Case record type, you can reference the id and status fields from the Support Case record type in the Measure fields and filters.
To create this chart:
 1. Set the Measure to Count of and select the id field from the Support Case record type. This displays the total count of cases associated with each customer.
 2. Click ADD MEASURE.
 3. Set the second Measure to Count of and select the id field from the Support Case record type.
 4. Click the edit icon next to the second measure.
 5. Click + ADD FILTERS and configure the filter:
 1. Set Field to status from the Case record type.
 2. Set Condition to equal to.
 3. Set Value to "Critical".
 6. Click OK. The second measure now displays the number of cases with the status of "Critical".
/all-cases-and-critical-cases
See Configuring Charts Using Records for more information and examples of how to configure charts.
In Expression Mode
To aggregate related record fields in Expression Mode, you'll use the a!measure() function. You can use this function in a!queryRecordType() or in any chart configuration.
For example, say you want to calculate the total number of cases created each month, and you also want to know how many of those cases had a status of "Critical". We'll use a!queryRecordType() to query this data, and use the Customer record type as the source.
For the grouping parameter, you'll use the name field from the Customer record type. Then, for the measure parameter, you'll use two instances of a!measure() to calculate the count of all cases, and the count of cases with a status of "Critical".
The expression would look something like this:

text: A late 19th-century Boston photographer, A.H. Folsom, captured this amazing picture of a sixth-grade class with almost every student examining a small desk globe. This image is part of a photographic survey commissioned by the Boston Public Schools in 1892-93. A number of these photographs were included in an album displayed at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900. While most certainly posed, the photograph speaks to the importance of geography and an understanding of global issues in the late-19th-century Boston Public School curriculum. In the same vein, the photograph can serve as an icon for the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center's mission of making the Boston Public Library's map collection available to Bostonians of all ages, particularly, the city's school children. The children portrayed in this photograph attended the George Putnam Grammar School which was located at 2025 Columbus Avenue. Today, the site of the Putnam school is across the street from the Eggleston Square Branch of the Boston Public Library. The school was named for Dr. George Putnam, the long-time pastor of First Church in Roxbury. He also served as a member of Boston Public Library's Board of Trustees from _PHONE_.

9.19 Using the Topology Viewer
Topology is a graphical representation and illustration of the connected entities and the dependencies between the artifacts.
The topology viewer helps you in identifying the dependencies that a selected entity has on other entities. Understanding the dependencies helps you in being cautious while deleting or undeploying an entity. Oracle Stream Analytics supports two contexts for the topology — Immediate Family and Extended Family.
You can launch the Topology viewer in any of the following ways:
Click the Show Topology icon at the top-right corner of the editor to open the topology viewer. By default, the topology of the entity from which you launch the Topology Viewer is displayed. The context of this topology is Immediate Family, which indicates that only the immediate dependencies and connections between the entity and other entities are shown. You can switch the context of the topology to display the full topology of the entity from which you have launched the Topology Viewer. The topology in an Extended Family context displays all the dependencies and connections in the topology in a hierarchical manner.
Note:
The entity for which the topology is shown has a grey box surrounding it in the Topology Viewer.
Immediate Family
Immediate Family context displays the dependencies between the selected entity and its child or parent.
The following figure illustrates how a topology looks in the Immediate Family.
Description of topology_viewer_immediate.png follows
Description of the illustration topology_viewer_immediate.png
Extended Family
Extended Family context displays the dependencies between the entities in a full context, that is if an entity has a child entity and a parent entity, and the parent entity has other dependencies, all the dependencies are shown in the Full context.
The following figure illustrates how a topology looks in the Extended Family.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
For a triangle $ABC$ in 3D (each point has x, y, z coordinates) is it possible to generate uniform random points on the triangle from only the following data:
Normal of the triangle plane $N = \vec{\text{AB}}\times \vec{\text{AC}}$
Normal of the $AC$ edge plane $U = \cfrac{\vec{AC} \times N}{| \text{N} |^2} $ and $d_u = -U.A$
Normal of the $AB$ edge plane $V = \cfrac{ N \times \vec{AB} }{| \text{N} |^2} $ and $d_v = -V.A$
The two edge normals U and V are calculated such that $\vec{U}.B + d_u = 1$ and $\vec{V}.C + d_v = 1$ (As of yet I don't have the reputation to post an image so of the arrangement but will as soon as I can).
If this cannot be done with the available data what is the minimum amount of extra data required to generate the uniform random points (e.g. A, B, C)?
I am aware that the you can generate uniform random points on a triangle using the vertex $A$ and edges $\vec{AB} = B - A$ and $\vec{BC} = C-B$ as follows:
$S = A +\sqrt{R_1}\vec{AB} + \sqrt{R_1}R_2\vec{BC}$
Where $R_1 \text{and} R_2$ are random numbers between 0 and 1.

There is no such thing as an "$AC$ edge plane". – Christian Blatter Jan 8 '12 at 12:09
It may have some other name however the peer review journal I am reading refers to it as such. It is the plane which the edge AC lies in which is perpendicular to the triangle plane – cubiclewar Jan 8 '12 at 20:42
