In this video and guide we show you the best way to start an online lesson in Microsoft Teams. Follow the tips below if you want to control presenters and have more control over the video conference.
Tip 1 – Create your lesson in the calendar view
Creating your lesson in the calendar rather than directly from your class team channel gives you a number of benefits including:
- Sends out an email invitation to all students
- If students accept the invitation it will add it to their own personal outlook calendar providing structure to their day.
- You can stop students from being presenters (and some of the disruption they could cause)
When creating the calendar invite, there is no need to add the students individually, you just need to select the class as shown below.
Tip 2 – Stop students presenting
By default, students are also presenters which means they can share their screens and kick others out of the meeting. This may disrupt the lesson, but you can change this setting!
Save the calendar meeting and wait for it to finish setting up (it becomes bold in the calendar view).
Once you go back into the calendar item, you will see there are additional menu items for controlling the meeting options.
Select "Meeting options" and then change the presenter to "Only Me" and press "Save".
Tip 3 – Mute microphones
The first 4 students who join the meeting will have their mics unmuted, use the "Mute all" button at any point during the lesson.
Tip 4 – Share screens
Use the share button to share your screen or present an application or file.
Tip 5 – Mention that the lesson is about to start
Mentioning the class will send them an instant notification in teams. Use it to notify them that the lesson is about to start.
Tip 6 – Record the lesson
Some students may not be able to make it to your lesson in time. Ensure no one misses out and that they can use it for revision purposes by recording the meeting.
We hope you find these tips useful. Good luck with your online lessons!

DYSFUNCTION AS AN OBSTACLE IN ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE SOCIAL ECOLOGICAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION (EVIDENCE FROM THE VOLGA FEDERAL DISTRICT)
The creation of a society with a vector of sustainable development predetermines the search for optimal proportions of reproduction of social ecological economic parameters of the territories. The article presents the development results of sustainable social ecological economic advancement model of the regional system and verifies the appropriateness of the social ecological economic systems' parameters of the regions of the Volga Federal District (VFD) to the proposed sustainable development model. We introduce the notion of dysfunction (dysfunctional development) considered as an obstacle and antipode of sustainable development of the territory, and define the boundaries of normally occurring processes and the dysfunctionality for the VFD regions. We performed calculation and evaluation of the territories in terms of their conformity with sustainable development or dysfunction. The proposed method can be positioned as a way of identifying and adjusting dysfunctional territories and can be applied for further definition of effective response tools.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The reaction and disaster analysis team at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) predicts a potential for extreme rain in Jakarta, which extends to surrounding areas. LAPAN says that Jakarta will see heavy rains between today and tomorrow, February 18 and 19.
A similar early warning was also issued by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency or BMKG.
"Everyone is expected to raise their awareness for a potentially massive flood that may happen on February 19 or 20 in the Greater Jakarta Area," Erma Yulihastin from LAPAN's Center for Atmospheric Science and Technology said on Thursday.
In a written statement, Erma said that the prediction came after analyzing data from the LAPAN's SADEWA, a.k.a. the Satellite-based Disaster Early Warning System.
"Extreme rain will begin to occur in the Jakarta area from 23:00 on Thursday, February 18, 2021," she said. The rain intensity is expected to escalate, covering areas in Bekasi, Depok, Tangerang, and Karawang.

Currency of Malaysia: Malaysian ringgit, today's rate RM
The Malaysian Ringgit is the currency of Malaysia. The code of Malaysian ringgit is MYR. We use RM as symbol of Malaysian ringgit. The Malaysian Ringgit is divided in 100 sens. MYR is regulated by Central Bank of Malaysia.
Did you know:
More information: currency converter.
The ringgit of Malaysia
«Ringgit» means «lacy» and refers to the pieces of Spanish coins that circulated in the region during Spanish colonization. 1 ringgit is divided into 100 sen.
Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah, more commonly known as «Tunku», was the first prime minister, and up until now the most important one, from 1957 to 1970. This is why Malaysia honors him on the front of all banknotes of the country, where he is features in traditional dress.
On the back, Malaysia presents its economic and technological pride: oil rigs on the 50-ringgit note, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur on the 5-ringgit note, and even its train, its airline, and its commercial boats on the 10-ringgit note. Despite a very deeply-rooted ancestrally traditional culture, Malaysia doesn't have many ancient or ruined monuments like in Thailand or Indonesia, so they had to create them themselves.

You must be an Insightly administrator to create a new rule.
Lead assignment rules automate the process of assigning leads as they are added to Insightly, making it easier on sales managers and teams to distribute leads evenly or according to specific criteria. You can choose to assign leads in a number of different ways, including:
- Geographic area, by selecting fields like Postal Code, State/Province, or City.
- Number of employees, by selecting the Employee Count field.
- Your own custom fields that you've set up in Insightly.
- Round robin, by selecting a team or multiple individuals to receive leads on a rotating basis.
You can use almost any lead field to set up a rule, and you can choose from many different matching criteria.
Creating a lead assignment rule
- Click the profile icon, and navigate to the System Settings > Lead Assignment Rules page.
- Click the Add Rule button.
- Enter a name for the rule that summarizes the criteria you'll be entering. In this example, we're assigning leads according to the state or province in their mailing addresses, so we're calling it "Assign by Region."
- Select which methods of entry the rule will apply to. These are the ways your leads are being entered into the CRM. Your options are:
- API - When leads are created automatically from sources outside of Insightly through our API.
- Web to Lead form - When leads are added from an Insightly-generated webform that you place on your website.
- Manually Added Leads - Leads entered by one of your users through their web browser or Insightly mobile app. This also includes copied leads, or contacts that are changed to leads.
- Select more than one of the above - You can apply the same rule to more than one entry method.
- Select none of the above - You can create rules that won't be applied to any of the entry methods above, but can be selected when you import leads.
While you can create more than one lead assignment rule, only one can be active for a particular entry method. In other words, you can set up a rule that applies to leads created from the Web to Lead form and are manually entered. But if you create another rule for manually-entered leads, the first rule you created will no longer apply to that entry type.
- Click the Save Rule button.
- The criteria section will now appear for your rule. This is where you tell Insightly which data to look for and whom to assign the matching leads to. To enter your first set of criteria, click the Add Criteria button.
- Select the field and an operator, then enter a value for the leads you want to match to. For each new filter, click the Add Filter Row link and select the AND or OR operator. Use AND to narrow the number of leads that will match, and use OR to broaden the list of matches with either the preceding value or the next value.
In this example, we're creating a set of criteria for a region of western U.S. states. We'll filter our leads by State/Province fields that are equal to CA OR NV OR AZ.
- When your criteria filters use both AND and OR Boolean operators, you'll need to organize them using the Filter Logic field to correctly match the leads. If you're not mixing AND and OR operators, skip this step.
- Select a team, a user, or multiple users. When a team or more than one user is selected, Insightly will assign the leads in a "round robin" fashion. That means the system will rotate the assignments through the group of users alphabetically by first name.
For example, for a three-person team: Lead #1 goes to user Adam Smith, Lead #2 to David Hume, and Lead #3 to Thomas Reid, then Lead #4 will go to Adam Smith and start the cycle again, evenly distributing the leads as they are added.
- Click the Save Criteria button.
- The rule will be updated and saved with your new criteria. Click the Add Criteria button to add your next set of criteria following steps 6 through 10. Continuing our example, we could add other regions for states in New England and the Southeast U.S.
- Click the bar to the left of an item to reorder the criteria, if necessary. Each entry will be executed sequentially, so if a new lead matches the first set of criteria, it will be assigned and the process will end. If it doesn't match the first, Insightly will check the second, then the third, etc. Place the criteria in an order that considers that logic.
It's a good idea to have the last set of criteria be broad enough to catch leads that will slip through all the other rules. For the regional example, we might have a criteria that says "if State/Province is empty, assign to the sales manager."
- Click the Save Rule button to save your changes.
- Now that your rule is set up, enter a test lead through each of the methods you've selected. If the lead isn't assigned properly, adjust your rules and criteria as necessary. (Don't forget to delete your test leads when you've finished testing.)
Testing the process will also help you catch criteria that may have been overlooked. This can be a bit of a logic puzzle at first, but you'll get the hang of it!


Universities Support Holding HSC Exams in 2021
NSW Vice-Chancellors' Committee
The New South Wales Vice-Chancellors' Committee (the Committee) fully supports the decision of the NSW Education Standards Agency (NESA) to give more time to HSC students to work on their major projects and to prepare for exams to reduce the impact of the current COVID-19 lockdown.
The Convener for the Committee, Professor Barney Glover AO, said the universities "appreciate that the disruptions caused by the current COVID-19 lockdown have impacted on students' focus, therefore the need for certainty is paramount.
"As we said in 2020, our position is that proceeding with the HSC examinations in 2021 provides certainty to students, parents and teachers as well as universities.
The Convener emphasised that the universities understood the difficulties faced by students and explained that universities will respond with appropriate arrangements.
"As we did successfully in 2020 when the pandemic began for that year's cohort of students, we will continue to work flexibly with NESA and the Universities Admissions Centre to ensure that admission processes can adapt in an equitable way to any changes in Year 12 assessments," Professor Glover
Given that completion of the HSC is the preferred admission pathway into many universities, Professor Glover strongly encouraged students to remain committed to completing the HSC in 2021.
Professor Glover also reminded students that there are alternative pathways into university such as bridging and foundational courses to build up knowledge and skills lost during the pandemic.
"Universities look forward to welcoming this year's graduating secondary students into courses commencing in 2022," Professor Glover said.

What is the potential of the ecosystem metaphor in agricultural and food industry systems?
The scavengers and decomposers in ecosystems are presented as metaphors for agricultural and food industry systems' sustainability. These organisms of ecosystems can both take in wastes from other organisms as well as produce materials for them to use. We argue that the metaphor is beneficial for considering the physical flows of matter and energy in economic systems as it can yield models with which a vision of a more sustainable material and energy flow system can be constructed. But the difference of ecosystems and economic systems is so radical that the metaphor can only be used as a source of inspiration for simulations and future scenarios, not for giving practical and concrete design, management or policy objectives and action-proposals. Our analysis reveals that the metaphor cannot be used to study the human dimension or the societal context of the material and energy flows. The human dimension is critically important to achieve a real change toward sustainability in environmental policy, corporate environmental management and corporate social responsibility.


Siebel adapter uses the COM interface to invoke calls on Siebel. For business component query, Siebel supports two ways of retrieving the field values for records. One can either use GetFieldValue to retrieve one field at a time or the other option is to use GetMultipleFieldValues to retrieve values for a bunch of fields in one go. The latter is better from a performance standpoint and is what the adapter uses. The problem with this approach though is that even if one of the fields, whose values are being retrieved, is mis-configured, the entire query call fails.
In development environments, it can happen that some of the customizations have issues, resulting in query failure as described above. The first step towards diagnosing the problem is identification of those problematic fields. The error message doesn't always help identify the fields. When in such situation, one can use the attached Siebel COM sample code to narrow down the fields. You will need to add a reference to sstchca.dll (present in the Siebel install folder, in the bin sub-directory).
Once you have narrowed down the fields, you can either fix the issue with the field or if it's not of interest, mark them as inactive on Siebel backend. You can then query using the Siebel adapter without any issues. Alternately, you can also use the QueryFields (optional) argument passed to the query operation to retrieve only the fields of interest.


St Louis Pest Control Blog
Where Do MOLES Go When It Gets Cold
Where do moles go when it gets cold outside? In the St. Louis region, no where, they just go where the cold isn't. And since they live below the surface of your yard, they can only go one direction, down. This is very easy for moles to do since they already have main (permanent) tunnels located deep below the surface. That is how they can easy pop up in different parts of your yard without making any surface damage from one spot to another.
As it gets colder, insects that they feed on also tend to dig down deeper, somewhere below the frost line. And since moles stay active all winter long, they need to go where the food is.
The colder weather also makes it harder for you to control mole activity. Since the insects are moving downward, moles will not find as many insects as they would like, so they tend not to return to a newly dug feeder run in your yard like they would during warmer months. This doesn't mean you can't get them, it just means you need to have more patience.

CULTURAL AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY SATELLITE ACCOUNTS
Australian National Accounts: Cultural and Creative Activity Satellite Accounts, Experimental, 2008-09 (cat. no. 5271.0) was published on 10 February 2014. This publication presents experimental measures of the economic contribution of cultural and creative activity in Australia, within the context of a satellite account linked to the Australian System of National Accounts.
In 2008-09, cultural and creative activity is estimated to have contributed $86.0 billion (6.9%) to Australia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on a national accounts basis. Cultural activity is estimated to have contributed $50.1 billion (4.0%) to GDP, while creative activity contributed $78.3 billion (6.3%). The industries and occupations common to these two segments accounted for $42.4 billion (3.4%) - this common activity is counted only once in the combined account for cultural and creative activity.
The publication was made possible with investment funding by the federal and state and territory governments through the Cultural Ministers' Statistics Working Group. The ability to produce the satellite accounts for future reference years will depend on the availability of investment funds from stakeholders, as well as the continued availability of the various input data needed to construct the accounts.


Publish Your Map on the Web
Here are two (free!) options for publishing your Folium map on the web.
One of the easiest ways to publish your map is to drag and drop your map into Netlify.
All you need to do is:
 1. Create a folder for your web map (which you can name whatever you want, e.g. "my-web-map")
 2. Change the name of your map HTML file to "index.html"
 3. Move "index.html" inside your web map folder
 4. Then drag and drop this folder into Netlify
Netlify will create a live site with your map (at a random URL), which will stay online for 24 hours. To make this site permanent and/or change the site URL, you can sign up for a free Netlify account. To change the site's name, go to Settings -> Site Details -> "Change site name"
You can check out a sample map published with Netlify here:
GitHub Pages
You can also publish your map as a simple website with GitHub Pages (as featured in the example above). Below I'm going to walk through the key points of the GitHub Pages tutorial for creating a "Project site."
Though you don't need to be a GitHub expert to make a GitHub Pages website, understanding the following premises will be helpful:
 - GitHub consists of "repositories" where you can store files and code for your projects
 - Git (the backbone of GitHub) is a version-control system that helps you keep track of the changes in your projects. Whereas a platform like Google Docs automatically keeps track of changes that you make in a document, Git needs you to record and track your own changes in a more explicit way. You will need to "commit" any changes that you make (e.g., adding your map file) and include a message that describes this change (e.g., "added a map file").
For more information, refer back to our course materials Git & GitHub or see GitHub's official guides.
Create a New Repository
If you don't have one already, create a GitHub account. Then create a "New repository".
Your free GitHub Pages website will be hosted at a URL that combines your GitHub user name and your repository name, like so So be sure to choose your names wisely!
Provide a name for your repository and then click "Create Repository."
Choose a GitHub Pages Theme
Choose a theme/style/layout for your website. Go to Settings -> GitHub Pages -> "Choose a theme". For this tutorial, I'm choosing the "Minimal" theme.
Once you've selected a theme, you can delete the text that's included in the default "" file. Whatever you put in this Markdown (.md) file will be featured on your web site's home page. For now, you can put something simple in the file, add a "commit" message (such as "added website content"), and then "Commit changes" (you can "Commit directly to the master branch").
Markdown is a special markup language, which allows you to format and style text in a very simple way. For example, a hash mark # will format your text as a header and a pair of asterisks ** will format your text in italics.
To embed your map directly into your home page, return to your "" file, click the "Edit" button (the little pencil icon), and add the following "iframe" code with your map html file inside:
NOTE: HTML (like the iframe code above) is conveniently compatible with Markdown.
Customize Map
This GitHub Pages site is meant to be minimal (hence the name), but there are a few ways that you can customize it.
You can change the title of your website, provide a description, and add a logo by editing the "_config.yml" file, as below:
title: Sample Map Website
description: This website demonstrates how to easily publish and display an interactive map made with Folium. It features some hot spots around Ithaca, NY.
logo: Taughannock.jpg
**#**Note: You can also add a logo from an image URL, as below
You can read more about configuration options at the Minimal theme's GitHub page.
Sample Website

Study on the Measurement Method of Skin Textile Electrodes Contact Impedance
Electrode-skin impedance is strongly influencing the quality of electrocardiograms (ECG) signals. Lower impedance results in stronger signals as well as less noise disturbance. In this study, we determine contact impedance between the skin and a flexible textile electrode based on a modified poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) :poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) coating, developed in our laboratory. Cotton knitted fabrics were used to test the measurement technique. For each measurement, a pair of same electrodes in terms of size was used. To obtain a better understanding of the obtained impedance results, the contact impedance was simulated by an electronic model and hence electrode circuit model components were calculated. In order to realize a comparative study, conventional medical electrodes silver/silver chlorides (Ag/ AgCl) were also assessed. The measurement technique can be applied to any other type of electrode in contact with a skin.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample 389 - Some countries have introduced a law to limit working hours for employees
IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Some countries have introduced a law to limit working hours for employees. Why is this law introduced? Do you think it is a positive or a negative development?
You should write at least 250 words.
Sample Answer:
There has been a drastic increase in working hours in some developing countries. Employees have been pushed to work harder and longer without any additional incentives than their wages. Therefore, many countries have passed new laws to control and legitimate duty hours. This will send a good message to workers and will lift their morale and dedication towards work.
There have been numerous examples, where companies are making their employees work longer than normal duty hours. The primary advantage of this is to increase their production by spending the same expenditure. However, this has led to severe problems. Employees are feeling immense pressure from their employers to meet targets and deadlines. This is one of the pivotal reasons that employees are more susceptible to illness. Therefore, some legislation required in working hours.
Newly introduces rules have substantial impacts on workers performance and health. They have become more responsible and productive. The quality of the work has also increased after applying these rules. In addition to this, people health conditions have significantly improved. Now they have more time to spend with their family that helped them tremendously mitigate their stress and tensions. Additional time also provides opportunities to make themselves social with their peer group.
To sum up, I would like to say that excessive works from workers have detrimental effects on their physical and psychological health. Limiting work hours will bring several changes in their lifestyle that would lead them towards better and successful life. However, in many countries employees are obliged to follow longer hours, as there is no law to protect them.

HMICFRS reports
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) assesses and reports on the police and their work. Their independent reports are used to drive improvements in the delivery of services and to inform the public about the police and how they work.
Whenever the HMICFRS publish a report that is relevant to a police force, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has a duty to respond.
HMICFRS reports and the response from the PCC are listed below.
PEEL assessment by HMICFRS
The primary framework in which police forces are inspected is called PEEL: Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy. PEEL assessments look at the whole performance of a single police force.
As a result of the Integrated PEEL Assessment, forces are given a grade in each of these three areas.
The four grades are:
 1. Inadequate
 2. Requires improvement
 3. Good
 4. Outstanding.
2018/19 grades
How effectively does the force reduce crime and keep people safe?Good
How efficiently does the force operate and how sustainable are its services to the public?Outstanding
How legitimately does the force treat the public and its workforce?Good
The full assessment of Avon and Somerset Police can be found on the HMICFRS website.
Read the response from the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to the Home Secretary on the 2018/19 HMICFRS inspection.
HMICFRS thematic inspections
HMICFRS will also carry out inspections to look at how police forces in England and Wales deal with particular issues (themes).
This is done by looking at multiple police forces and agencies to make sure they fully assess the processes and procedures in places and actions are taken to address the theme/s.

Official Answer: Quest Stage == Quest Card
Caleb by e-mail wrote:
you're asking if there is a significant difference between the term 'quest stage' vs 'quest card' and the answer is 'no.' Those terms are used interchangeably. The number of quest stages in play is equal to the number of quest cards in play.
I was hoping there wouldn't be inconsistency within a single set (I understand how words from 2010 and 2015 could end up inconsistent).

Geostatistical modelling has proven to be a good tool for decision making in soil nutrient management because it has the ability to map spatial heterogeneity and uncertainty. This study outlines a comparative approach to quantify the uncertainties and correlations in spatial process models as illustrated for the distribution of Zn in top soils of a semi-arid environment. The spatial correlation of Zn uncertainties is investigated by calculating the semi-variance of normalized Zn concentration residuals, for a sufficiently large dataset, as a function of distance between pairs of locations within the Zn field. Three semi-variogram models, namely: Exponential, Gaussian, and Spherical models were tested on the spatial correlation structure of the normalized residuals and further used as default input model for Sequential Gaussian Simulation. The Sequential Gaussian Simulation led to an improved description of spatial heterogeneity and uncertainty. The choice of semivariogram model is therefore critical for robust Sequential Gaussian Simulation and uncertainty analysis. A new criterion is proposed to inform the choice of default input model for sequential Gaussian simulation given by ratio of partial sill to square of major range. With this criterion, Exponential model performed better than both Gaussian and Spherical models. The results indicate spatial correlation in Zn field and it is suggested that the spatial correlation of Zn uncertainties should be considered to exclude inaccurate estimation for spatially distributed systems when performing nutrient distribution studies.

Meaning: highland; The name Elam is an Assyrian word meaning "high."
the son of Shem (Gen. 10:22), and the name of the country inhabited by his descendants (14:1, 9; Isa. 11:11; 21:2, etc.) lying to the east of Babylonia, and extending to the shore of the Mediterranean, a distance in a direct line of about 1,000 miles
"The inhabitants of Elam, or 'the Highlands,' to the east of Babylon, were called Elamites. They were divided into several branches, speaking different dialects of the same agglutinative language. The race to which they belonged was brachycephalic, or short-headed, like the pre-Semitic Sumerians of Babylonia.
"The earliest Elamite kingdom seems to have been that of Anzan, the exact site of which is uncertain; but in the time of Abraham, Shushan or Susa appears to have already become the capital of the country. Babylonia was frequently invaded by the Elamite kings, who at times asserted their supremacy over it (as in the case of Chedorlaomer, the Kudur-Lagamar, or 'servant of the goddess Lagamar,' of the cuneiform texts).
"The later Assyrian monarchs made several campaigns against Elam, and finally Assur-bani-pal (about B.C. 650) succeeded in conquering the country, which was ravaged with fire and sword. On the fall of the Assyrian Empire, Elam passed into the hands of the Persians" (A.H. Sayce).
This country was called by the Greeks Cissia or Susiana.

Those who love to cook know that every ingredient counts when it comes to whipping up your favorite meal. However, Japanese stop motion animation artist tomosteen is able to create an entire menu using just one ingredient: LEGOs. They might not be edible, but tomosteen's meals are oddly tantalizing. The clever animator is able to make the solid plastic pieces appear just like delicious chocolate, frosting, rice, eggs, and more.
Tomosteen says he "likes to cook with strange things" and LEGOs are certainly unusual. He chronicles his process for making cakes, French toast, salads, breakfasts, and more using trick-of-the-eye illusions. Tomosteen moves the colorful LEGO pieces frame-by-frame to make them look like they're being poured, mixed, sliced, and diced—just like real, edible ingredients.
Each color of LEGO brick has its place in cooking. Clear plastic is water, brown pieces resemble chocolate, and white bricks look just like cream or milk. When tomosteen cracks an egg into a bowl, the white and yolk pour out as plastic pieces that appear to jiggle like real, gooey liquid. And when "ingredients" are being mixed together, he uses clever editing to make different colored bricks appear as though they're becoming one color. Who knew plastic could look so tasty?
Check out tomosteen's fantastic stop motion animations below and find more from his portfolio on YouTube.

The Kapiti Coast District Council says bore water is again being added to Waikanae River water to supply Waikanae, Paraparaumu and Raumati.
This is because the level of the Waikanae River (left) is falling faster than expected.
Waikanae River is currently flowing at 850 litres per second and Council is supplementing river water with bore water at a ratio of 50%, says Dave Bassett, Water & Treatment Manager.
"With no rain predicted for the rest of this week, the flow will drop to 750 litres per second and we will be at 100% bore supply in a few days."=
Demand for water is around 17 million litres a day, so current water conservation efforts are working well, Dave Bassett says.
"We know this is challenging for local people and Council greatly appreciates their efforts over the very dry summer," he adds.
Construction has begun on Council's River Recharge Scheme and, once it is operating in 2015, bore water will not be needed to supplement river water in times of drought.
Instead, the scheme will enable groundwater to be put into Waikanae River below the Treatment Plant to maintain river levels and will mean that, unlike the present situation, bore water will not enter water supply.

Here's How The Average Korean Will Look In 2100 According To Scientists
Through artificial smart image technology, pictures of average Korean faces from the past, present, and the future were produced to show how Koreans looked like. These images were created by historians and facial reconstruction experts based on skulls of ancient Koreans.
1. Ancient Koreans of 12,000 years agoThe generated faces have the distinct traits of North Eastern Asians.
2. The Silla Dynasty (57 BC – 935 AD)The average faces shifted significantly as blood was mixed with people who migrated south from Northern Siberia.
A round oval shaped face and small lips are the most significant traits.
3. Goryeo Period 918 ~ 2017Migration of foreign people became less common since the beginning of Goryeo Dynasty.
Through Korea's unification in the Chosun period, Korean faces became close to what the average face is in present-day South Korea.
4. 2050As multinational families with neighboring Asian countries become more prevalent, South East Asian features may start to become more accentuated by 2050.
5. 2100By 2100, it is expected one out of every 5 households will be a multinational family.
The average Korean face is expected to most likely reflect traits from multiple Asian nations.

The Goshichinichi no mishuhô, or Second Week Imperial Ritual," was a Shingon Buddhist imperial ritual aimed at empowering the emperor and by extension the state.
It was performed regularly from 835 until the 1300s, was revived under the Tokugawa shogunate in 1625, abolished by the Meiji government in the 1870s, was then revived in 1883 and was performed regularly until 1945, before being abolished again, and then revived yet again in 1968, being performed regularly from 1968 until today.

Some of our readers were wondering how they might go about getting an ISBN. And what is it, anyway? Why is it important?
An ISBN is an International Standard Book Number. Up until the end of 2006 it was a 10 digit number, but from 1 January 2007 all ISBN numbers are now 13 digits long.
It is used by publishers, booksellers and libraries, for ordering, listing and stock control purposes. It enables them to identify a particular Publisher and allows the Publisher to identify a specific edition of a specific title in a specific format within their output.
In the past, ISBN numbers were 10 digits long but a new global standard, using 13 digits, has now been introduced. Under the new system which started on 1 January 2007, the 13 digits are always divided into five parts, separated by spaces or hyphens.
There is no legal requirement in the UK or Republic of Ireland for an ISBN and it conveys no form of legal or copyright protection. It is a product identification number. If you wish to sell your publication through major bookselling chains, or internet booksellers, they will require you to have an ISBN to assist their internal processing and ordering systems.
The ISBN also provides access to Bibliographic Databases such as BookData Online, which are organised using ISBNs as references. These databases are used by booksellers and libraries to provide information for customers. The ISBN therefore provides access to additional marketing tools which could help sales of your product.

How to Memorize the 12 British Monarchs
How to Memorize the 12 British Monarchs 10X Faster
If you'd like to remember and recall all the British monarchs, this video will make you do exactly that in only a few minutes.
Human memory is predominantly visual, and you can take advantage of that by visualizing what you need to remember and connecting it to something you already know. And that's what I'll do in this video. Picture each image in your head, and I'll connect them for you using a crazy story.
When you want to recall the names of all the British monarchs, here's what to visualize.
Picture the royal throne where the monarch sits. You know it's the throne of the British monarch because the British flag – the Union Jack – is on the wall behind it.
- Sitting on the throne is a queen ant. The first British monarch after the mergers of the kingdoms of England and Scotland was Queen Anne. Queen ant sounds very similar to Queen Anne, so when you picture the ant sitting on the throne, that will link in your mind straight away to Queen Anne, the first British monarch.
- The second British monarch was King George, or George the 1st. George one sounds like judge nun. Imagine a judge walks up to the queen ant and introduces a nun. He's a traditional English judge wearing the long black gown and white wig, and the nun is wearing the traditional black and white habit. When you visualize the judge and nun talking to the queen ant, you'll remember George I.
- After George the 1st was George the 2nd or George 2. Two sounds like shoe, so let's visualize the judge pulls off one of his shoes, and places it on his head. The shoe is all the colours of the rainbow, very bright. Kind of a weird thing to do when you're in the presence of the queen, but at least now when you picture the judge holding a shoe on his head – judge shoe – you'll remember George II.
- You'll never guess who came after George the 2nd – it was George the third. The judge takes the shoe off his head and throws it through the air and it hits another judge sitting in a tree. Why is this other judge sitting in a tree? Because judge tree, sounds like George 3, and that's how you'll remember George the 3rd.
- The line of King George's continued on and the next British monarch was George the 4th or George 4. That sounds like judge door, so we'll use that. The judge falls out of the tree and lands on the ground in front of a door. The door is covered in ornate decorations, and is bright pink, just to make it stand out in your mind. Create a clear mental image of the judge landing on the ground in front of the door – judge door – and you'll remember George IV.
- After George 4th was William 4th or William four. This time we'll use will-yam-snore. The bright pink door bursts open to reveal a yam with arms and legs, holding a long will. It's a will yam. The will yam is standing up but it's asleep, and there's a speech bubble with 'zzzz' because the will yam is having a snore. Now when you imagine that will yam having a snore, that will link in your mind to William IV.
- The next monarch after William the 4th was the iconic Queen Victoria. To remember Victoria, we'll link it to victory. The yam wakes up and climbs onto the top step of a podium, where it has a winner's wreath put around its neck, and holds its fingers in the V-for-victory sign. It is victorious. Clearly imagine this scene of victory, and it will prompt you to recall Queen Victoria.
- Following Queen Victoria was Edward 7th or Edward seven. To remember that we'll use head wood heaven. Out of the sky falls a head made of wood. It hits the yam and knocks it to the ground, and then the wooden head settles on the podium. Behind the head are clouds and pearly gates, like the stereotypical description of heaven. Visualize in your mind an image of the head of wood with heaven in the background – head wood heaven – and you'll remember Edward VII.
- Next, we're back to another King George again, George five this time. Another judge picks up the head, tucks it under his arm and takes a big dive through the air. Dive rhymes with five. Imagine the judge diving through the air, judge dive, and you'll remember George V, or King George the 5th.
- After George the 5th was King Edward the 8th or Edward 8. Let's go with head wood plate. The head of wood grows arms and legs, escapes from the clutches of the judge, and jumps on a plate that flies through the air like a magic flying carpet. Create a clear mental image of the head of wood on a plate – head wood plate – and that will prompt you to recall Edward VIII, or King Edward the 8th.
- Continuing on, and the next British monarch was King George the 6th. For George 6 we'll use judge bricks. Yet another judge appears in our story and throws bricks at the wooden head on the plate. Not a particularly friendly thing to do. Bricks rhymes with six, so when you imagine the judge throwing bricks, you'll be reminded of George VI.
- Following King George the 6th was Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Elizabeth two sounds similar to lizard bed shoe, and that's what we'll visualize. The bricks thrown by the judge crash into the bed of a lizard. The lizard is lounging back in bed, and it's wearing a shoe on its head. Picture that little scene – lizard bed shoe – and you'll instantly recall Elizabeth II or Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
And there you have it, you've just memorized the names of the 12 British monarchs from Queen Anne to Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
Now, when you think of British monarchs, you'll picture the royal throne with the British flag, the Union Jack, behind it.
- Sitting on the throne is a queen ant, reminding you of Queen Anne
- A judge walks up to the queen with a nun – judge nun – George I
- The judge takes off a shoe and puts it on his head – judge shoe – George II
- The shoe is thrown through the air and hits another judge in a tree – judge tree – George III
- The judge falls out of the tree and lands on the ground in front of a door – judge door – George IV
- The door opens to reveal a yam holding a will and having a snore – will yam snore – William IV
- The yam climbs to the top of a podium to receive the spoils of victory – victory links to Victoria
- A head of wood falls out of the sky and lands on the podium, with heaven behind it – head wood heaven – Edward VII
- A judge picks up the head like a football and takes a big dive – judge dive – George V
- The wooden head escapes and jumps on a flying plate – head wood plate – Edward VIII
- A judge starts to throw bricks at the plate – judge bricks – George VI
- And the bricks crash into a lizard bed where the lizard is wearing a shoe on its head – lizard bed shoe – Elizabeth II

 My understanding is that presentational and styling elements or markup are not embedded or built-into markup that

 An example from another context might help clarify my thought. When designing say, employee ID# for an org., one normally prefers not to build intelligence into the ID#. If the ID# were to convey employee's department and be the employee's unique identifier, he/she would have to be assigned a new ID# everytime the individual's department changed. Likewise "intelligence"or in our context, code that conveys presentational effects should be independent of code that conveys structure / functionality.
 Perhaps the last sentence is the wording for the guideline 1.3...?

The section after the action is called the postlude. The rule's postlude statement is evaluated after the action has been generated.
The postlude allows for effects. Effects are an important addition to the ECA pattern. Effects differ from actions in that they do not result in directive documents being sent to the endpoint. Instead, they cause side effects on the KRE system. Examples of effects include the following:
 - Persistent variables. An effect might cause a permanent change to a persistent variable. Persistent variables allow context to be automatically maintained for an entity or an application across separate invocations of a rule set. See the documentation on persistent variables for more information.
 - Control statements. Sometimes, you need affect the normal execution order. For example, the last statement causes the execution of the ruleset to terminate after the current rule.
 - Explicit events. Explicit events allow a rule set to raise an event in response to incoming events.
 - Scheduled events. Scheduled events are raised and evaluated at a specific time.
 - Exception Handling Rules can raise error events that other rules respond to for handling exceptions.
 - Explicit Logging An effect might direct the system to log something.
The rule postlude allows action to be taken based on whether or not the rule fired. The most common use is to manage persistent variables. You can also place explicit logging statements in the prelude.
Postludes are evaluated based on the status of the rule: fired, notfired, or always. The fired and notfired constructs take an optional else clause that is executed in the opposite state. Consequently, a postlude takes on of the following forms:
Since the else is optional, you will often see postludes without it:
The following section describe the various statements that a postlude can contain:

A work shop on Tapestry Weaving was orchestrated at the Department of Design in coordination with Ms. Zunaira Shoaib on 17 February 2020. Across cultures, tapestry has been utilized for functional, decorative, spiritual, and expressive purposes.
DR. Jade Lord, a lecturer in Fashion and Textile design from the University of Huddersfield was the resource person. She shared her experiences and art works with the students. The workshop was attended by the students of Second year, BTD and BFD. The core content of the workshop was to introduce the students with fundamental skills associated with the creation of woven tapestry, with warping up a simple frame, exploring woven techniques, creating shapes, lines and blending colors.
Design students also showed and displayed their tapestry art works and were very well praised by the guests.


Manually placing text characters
Hi, I would like to create different parts of words separately so as to give them different colours, and then place them together so that they look natural. Unfortunately, when I try this, things are a little off.
local fontSize = 16
local abcd = display.newText{text = "abcd", fontSize = fontSize}
abcd.x, abcd.y = display.screenOriginX + abcd.width, display.screenOriginY + abcd.height
local a = display.newText{text = "a", fontSize = fontSize}
a.x, a.y = abcd.x - abcd.width*0.5 + a.width*0.5, abcd.y + abcd.height*0.7
local bcd = display.newText{text = "bcd", fontSize = fontSize}
bcd.x, bcd.y = a.x + a.width*0.5 + bcd.width*0.5, a.y
As you can see, there is a couple of extra pixels between the bottom a and the red bcd.
Could anyone please explain what's going on, or suggest a solution?
Your code is hard to read. As I can see you are trying to find the X position based on the width of "a", "bcd" or "abcd". But the width is always different, see width prints in my example.
So it's better to use one standard number, like the height, because it's the same. See height prints in my example.
Also try to make your code clean and easy to read otherwise you will be making mistakes that are hard to find.
I'm not sure if my example is the best, but this worked for me. Just play with the numbers and use prints to see output of the values.
local left = display.screenOriginX + 100
local top = display.screenOriginY + 100
local font = "Arial"
local fontSize = 60
local abcd = display.newText("abcd", left, top, font, fontSize )
local a = display.newText("a", 0, 0, font, fontSize)
 a.x = abcd.x - (abcd.height * 0.7)
 a.y = abcd.y + (abcd.height * 0.7)
local bcd = display.newText("bcd", 0, 0, font, fontSize)
 bcd.x = abcd.x + (abcd.height * 0.25)
 bcd.y = abcd.y + (abcd.height * 0.7)
print("abcd.width", abcd.width)
print("a.width", a.width)
print("bcd.width", bcd.width)
print("abcd.height", abcd.height)
print("a.height", a.height)
print("bcd.height", bcd.height)
Using a fixed width font will also make it easier. That is what I use for my word search app. There are plenty to choose from:

Thanks for the replies. Sorry about the sloppy code, my brain was running out of steam when I posted and I wasn't thinking at my best (which isn't great at the best of times…).
I'm not sure I understand the problem with positioning things by width. If I place one object on top of another, and then move it left or right by half of each of their widths, they should be flush. I've done this lots of times with other display objects without problem.
I've tried it with a fixed-width font and it's the same problem.
Some investigation seems to suggest the issue only occurs when the first part of "conjoined" text objects is made from a single character:
local left = display.screenOriginX
local top = display.screenOriginY
local fontSize = 16
local function make(firstString, secondString, y)
 local whole = display.newText{text = firstString..secondString, y = y, fontSize = fontSize}; whole:setFillColor(1,0,0)
 local firstPart = display.newText{text = firstString, fontSize = fontSize}
 local secondPart = display.newText{text = secondString, fontSize = fontSize}
 whole.x = left + whole.width/2
 firstPart.x = left + firstPart.width/2
 secondPart.x = firstPart.x + firstPart.width/2 + secondPart.width/2
 firstPart.y = whole.y + whole.height*0.7
 secondPart.y = firstPart.y
 local combinedWidth = firstPart.width + secondPart.width
 print(whole.width, combinedWidth)
make("a", "b", top + fontSize/2)
make("a", "bb", top + 50)
make("aa", "b", top + 100)
make("aa", "bb", top + 150)
A quick test suggests I can resolve this by checking that the first part of a conjoined pair is a single character, and if it is, place the second part as normal, but move it back by an amount equal to half the difference between the width of the whole and the sum of the widths of the two parts. Sorry if that's confusing. Hopefully you can figure out what I mean.
I'll let you know how it goes.
I jumped the gun when I concluded that the problem only arises when the first part is a single character. Moreover, the particular letters involved make a difference. For example:
make("ab", "b", top + fontSize/2) -- fine
make("fb", "b", top + 50) -- not fine
I'll keep at it and see if I can make any sense of it, but most likely it's down to really nitty-gritty source code stuff that is way beyond me.
I don't think that you can accomplish what you are trying to accomplish via display.newText API. You'll need to use bitmap fonts.
Yeah, I was just looking into ponyFont as you said that. :slight_smile:

The Leading Filemaker Developer Tools
A little bit of SQL in FileMaker 12 – FileMaker Today
One of my favorite new features of FileMaker Pro 12 is the ExecuteSQL function, which allows you to perform a SELECT SQL query against your FileMaker tables. ExecuteSQL allows you to use SQL to create calculations that otherwise might be very difficult or cumbersome. For example, in the past, if you wanted to get the list of values that had been used anywhere in the field areaCode in your contact table, you had to first create a value list using that field, then create the calculation: ValueListItems ( Get ( FileName ) ; "AreaCodes" ). It worked, but it was a bit of a hack to have to create that extra value list.
Now, all you need is:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT DISTINCT areaCode FROM contact" ; "" ; "" )
/* The last two empty parameters tell FileMaker to use
 the default comma and carriage return as column and row separators */
Okay, so it does require learning a bit of SQL (check out the W3Schools' SQL Tutorial). But many queries are straightforward, and using SQL this way can simplify the relationship graph.
Say I wanted to get all the area codes used in Massachusetts. Using the old value list method, I would need to create a field somewhere to store the abbreviation "MA", create a relationship from that field to the contact::state field, and define my value list to use only related values starting from the table with the new field. With ExecuteSQL, all I need is to update the formula to:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT DISTINCT areaCode FROM contact
 WHERE UPPER(state)=?" ; "" ; "" ; "MA" )
/* The fourth parameter is used to fill in the? in the query.
 It could be a field instead of a text constant */
Here's one of my favorites: often it's useful to know the name of the base table (the ones define on the Tables tab of the Manage Database dialog) that is the source for a table occurrence (the tables that appear in the graph). You may have lots of table occurrences, named leads, students, personsOfInterest, relatives, and so one, but each is really an instance of the contact table. Outside the Manage Database dialog, any reference to a table is really a reference to a table occurrence (so Get ( LayoutTableName ) returns leads, for example, not contact).
In the past, it would be necessary to name each consistently to include the underlying base table (so contact_leads, contact_students, contact_personsOfInterest, etc.), and then parse the table occurrence name. Be careful changing table names! But with SQL, you can use the following to get the name of the base table of the current layout:
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT BaseTableName FROM FileMaker_Tables
 WHERE TableName=?" ; "" ; "" ; Get ( LayoutTableName ) )
FileMaker_Tables is a special table you can query via SQL to get a list of all table occurrences, and the BaseTableName column tells you the name of the source table.
You can replace Get ( LayoutTableName ) with any table occurrence name to get it's base table. I like the following calculation field that stores the name of the table as data, which can be extremely useful when exporting and importing data:
Let ( [
FQFN = GetFieldName ( Self ) ;
tableOccurrence = GetValue ( Substitute ( FQFN ; "::" ; ¶ ) ; 1 )
] ;
ExecuteSQL ( "SELECT BaseTableName FROM FileMaker_Tables
 WHERE TableName=?" ; "" ; "" ; tableOccurrence )
The two variables in the Let function first get the fully qualified field name (including table occurrence name) of the calculation, and then parses out just the table occurrence name for use in the query. Since the calculation never makes reference to anything but Self, you can copy and paste this calculation field to any table without needing any editing.
What's your favorite use of ExecuteSQL?

This chart communicates the same insights as a contour plot. What is interesting is the choice of hexagonal buckets (rather than squares) to aggregate data. In fact, any tessellation would work, in particular Voronoi tessellations.
3-D Voronoi tessellation
The reason for using hexagons is that it is still pretty simple, and when you rotate the chart by 60 degrees (or a multiple of 60 degrees) you still get the same visualization. For squares, rotations of 60 degrees don't work, only multiples of 90 degrees work. Is it possible to find a tessellation such that smaller rotations, say 45 or 30 degrees, leave the chart unchanged? The answer is no. Octogonal tessellations don't really exist, so the hexagon is an optimum.
Hexagonal binning plots (source: here)
Implementation in R
The three plots described here (Voronoi diagram, hexagonal binning and contour plots) are available in the ggplot2 package.
Voronoi diagrams can be used for nearest neighbor clustering or density estimation, the density estimate attached to a point being proportional to the inverse of the area of the Voronoi polygon containing it.

Williamson Island | Tybee Island, Georgia
View Photos/Videos Below
View a map showing Georgia's newest barrier island and all of Georgia's major barrier islands.
Williamson Island is the youngest Georgia island. Shoreline surveys of 1913 show the formation of a sand spit from the central portion of Little Tybee's shoreline. At the time, Beach Hammock was the southernmost ocean shoreline in the Tybee-Little Tybee complex. The spit continued to lengthen, with Little Tybee Creek routed to the south between the spit and the marsh. Between 1957 and 1960 the spit was breached. The resulting island is Williamson. This low, narrow barrier is like those typically found on coasts with high wave energy and low tidal energies.
After the island was created, Kerr-McGee Corporation and the state both claimed ownership. This disagreement over an ephemeral body of sand was taken to the courts. The state was eventually designated the island's proper owner and manager.

Species object
Options for compartment species
The SimBiology® species object represents a species, which is a chemical or entity that participates in reactions, for example, DNA, ATP, Pi, creatine, G-Protein, or Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK). Species amounts can vary or remain constant during a simulation.
To add species that participate in reactions, add the reaction to the model. The process of adding the reaction to the model creates a compartment object (unnamed) and the necessary species objects.
Alternatively, create and add a species object to a compartment object, using the addspecies method at the command line.
When you use the SimBiology desktop to create a new model, it adds an empty compartment (unnamed), to which you can add species.
See Property Summary for links to species property reference pages. Properties define the characteristics of an object. Use the get and set commands to list object properties and change their values at the command line. You can graphically change object properties in the graphical user interface.
