Controlling Sound against your opponents
Did you know that controlling the noise you make can give you the upper hand over your opponents? Valorant is a very noisy game, for better of for worse, and it's up to you to take advantage of this feature.
In addition to their motor functions and mechanical qualities, a player's efficiency and talent also depend on their ability to accumulate information. Tactical Shooters like Valorant realy heavily on unknown factors (position of opponents, weaponry, location of the Spike), from which flow decisions and therefore strategies.
You could think that sight is the main vector of information in a game. However, the sound is very often much more important. You will hear your opponents much more often than you will see them. It's therefore mandatory to learn how to control your sound environment to progress in Valorant.
What is meant by noise in Valorant?
In Valorant, all actions performed by a player make noise. And each noise is characteristic of an action. The noise you make when walking on an iron floor is different from the noise you make on a wooden floor. The sound you make when you walk is different from the sound you make when you jump. And the sound you make when you jump on an iron box is different from the sound you make when you jump on a wooden box. As you can see, there are many subtleties in sound that can be identified by a keen ear.
Not only your movements make noise, but also the use of your skills, the plant or the attempt to defuse the Spike, reloading your weapon and, of course, firing with your weapons.
I'm making noise, so what?
In Valorant, sound is spatialised. This means that depending on your position relative to the point of origin of the sound, you will hear it differently. It can be more or less loud as more or less muffled. As a result, if you make noise, an attentive player with good sound equipment will be able to pinpoint your exact location.
This is why taking information on enemy positions is more by ear than by eye. The sounds pass through walls, floors and cover each other according to their power and their distance.
In the same way that it is important to spot the sounds made by opponents, it's just as important to reduce as much as possible the noises you make yourself. It's impossible to win a Valorant game without making any noise, but teams that know how to reduce their noise emissions as much as possible will be more discreet and therefore more efficient.
Which sounds can help my opponents?
Pretty much anyone you can hear yourself, but there are exceptions. We're going to see them one by one, but first of all, let's talk about the range of the sounds. As you move around in Valorant, you can see a fairly large circle around your character on your minimap.
This circle corresponds to the area in which your footsteps can be heard by your opponents. Any player in the circle can hear you walking. You should always pay attention to this circle when playing Valorant. This area will gradually become instinctive through training.
For the rest of our explanations, we'll use this circle as a reference. This is then the average range of the sounds, but all the actions you make in the game won't have exactly the same volume, and therefore the same range. Some sounds can spread much further (such as gunshots), others have a lower range.
We'll therefore admit 4 sound levels.
|Inaudible sound||Muffled sound||Normal sound||Very loud sound|
If we take the mini-map aforementioned, here is roughly what each sound level corresponds to.
Before listing most of the important sounds, note that some are tricky. It's not because you or your allies can hear them that your opponents can hear them too. Here is the list of the sounds that your opponents can hear:
|Jumps and Falls|
|Jump (crouching)||Fall (low height)|
|Fall (medium height)|
|Fall (high height)|
|Fall (on an ally)|
|Hanging on/off a rope (running)|
|Hanging on/off a rope (walking)|
|Go up/down a rope (running)|
|Go up/down a rope (walking)|
|Throwing a weapon|
|Picking up a weapon|
|Equipping an ability|
|Using an ability|
|Using an ultimate|
|Picking up an orb (start)|
|Picking up an orb (completion)|
|Planting the Spike (start)|
|Planting the Spike (completion)|
|Defusing the Spike (start)|
|Defusing the Spike (completion)|
|Using a teleport on Bind|
|Crossing a smoke/screen|
|Crossing a Cypher trap|
|Getting spotted by Cypher/Sova|
|Crossing Sage's Slow Orb (running)|
|Crossing Sage's Slow Orb (walking)|
|Teleport with Omen (start)|
|Teleport with Omen (completion)|
|All noises during the buy phase|
By knowing the volume of the different Valorant sounds, you can establish small strategies. It hey will not serve you in every game, they will nevertheless allow you to potentially take advantage over your opponents.
Just as you should always be aware of the noise you're making, you should also be aware of the importance of these noises. A footstep will give less information to your opponent than using a rope, for example. Indeed, you can virtually walk anywhere on a map, but if you're heard using a rope, the opponent can know exactly where you are.
This is where strategy begins! Even if it sounds counter intuitive, sometimes it's better to make a big common noise than a rare little noise. A shared noise says less about your intentions or your position.
A typical example is Sage resurrection sound. Sage res makes you vulnerable for a little while, and your opponents may take advantage of it to rush you and eliminate your ally while they're still in their crystal. On the other hand, by shooting with your weapon when reviving an ally, the sound of the shot will cover the noise of the res. Your opponents may know where you are, but they'll not know that you are brinig a teammate back to battle.
This logic applies to many cases. In the event of a fall: there are few places you can fall from (usually windows), allowing your enemies to spot you. By firing with your weapon when you land, you will of course make more noise than when you fall, but the sound of the fall will be covered. Imagine that your enemies are hidden and defending a bomb site, using this technique allows you to enter this site by jumping from a window without your opponents knowing which access you used.
Overall, strategies that take advantage of sound are much more effective as a team than solo. Throw Raze Paint Shells or teleport with Omen while your allies go bang around enemies, and you can surprise them.
In short, the noises you make can betray you as well as serve you. Learn how to control them, coordonate with your teammates and you'll have another big advantage in your Valorant games.

Kurokami sama
What is Kurokami Sama?
It is the name of a ritual as well as of a god.*1
This ritual can be done when you have received unfair treatment, such as bullying and power harrassment*2, from others.
How to do it
1. Pull out a strand of your hair.
2. Holding the strand of your hair in your hand, intone the name of the person you want to get revenge on and what deeds this person has done to you. And say, "May my wrongs be avenged."
3. Go up to a high place like the top of a building, and say "Kurokami sama, please avenge my wrongs," and let go of the strand of the hair.
Make sure you tell no one about the ritual
There was once a girl called K who was being bullied at school. As soon as she performed the ritual, those who were bullying her met with misfortunes one by one; some had their families broken up, some fell victims to incurable disease, and others suffered severe mental breakdown. The bullying to her stopped, but one day K came across another bullying done to another girl, and she taught the girl about Kurokami sama ritual. Right after that, the fortunes of K's bullies gradually began to rise, and instead K's fortune quickly declined. K eventually disappeared. No one knows where she is now.
When is Kurokami sama active?
It is said that Kurokami sama begins to be active around two after midnight to fulfil the wish of those who seek the god's help. Kurokami sama appears in the form of "something that is covered competely by hair." If a "good person" happens to encounter Kurokami sama, it will bring luck to the person, but if a "bad person" encounters Kurokami sama, it will bring misfortune to the person. There has been sporadic reports of sightings of Kurokami sama in Kanto region. *3
*1Kurokami sama - Kuro (黒) means black, kami (髪) means hair and sama is a horonific for someone of a higher rank than yourself or for deities (Wikipedia).

Notsuke Peninsula, Hokkaido
Notsuke Peninsula in Hokkaido is Japan's longest sandspit, extending for 26 km (about 16 miles) in length. Withered pine trees stand all around on the wetland, giving the landscape a bleak and otherworldly appearance.
Todowara, Notsuke Peninsula, aka "The End of the World"
But it is rumoured that on a foggy day, this place truly becomes a gateway of anotherwold.
On such a day, people are warned not to walk towards the direction from which the sound of bells comes, or not to follow after a little girl wearing red dress.

Emergency Shelter
(Translated by Saya)
This is a cryptic story! :)
A certain countryside region was hit by earthquake.
I headed to the nearest elementary school building, which was a designated emeregency shelter, and decided to spend a night in there; but as turned out, it was too crowded and therefore too noisy and too warm.
When I went outside to get some fresh air, I noticed there was another building with the lights out on the same premises.
I walked over to it and went inside. It was cool, quiet and a lot of people were lying down on the floor.
I felt so lucky to have found the place and lay down in the same way as the others to go to sleep. But after a while I realised there was something wrong with the place. It was far too quiet.
I dashed out of the building.

Yokai or Ghost? A Creepy Woman Appears in Hokkaido, Japan
 A creepy woman appears in Sapporo, Hokkaido, who stands in the middle of a pedestrian crossing and keeps staring ahead even after traffic lights have changed.

The Suspension Bridge
(Translated by Saya)
This is a true story that really happened to my friend, although he never told me the exact location where it took place.
The incident caused two deaths, and he himself had to be quesitoned by the police over and over again.
I heard the story in question from my friend while we were still at college...
It happened when my friend and his six coworkers at his part-time job went for a drive to a suspension bridge in a certain prefecture in the Chugoku region.*1
They split off and drove separately in two cars.
My friend was the driver of the second car.
In the first car which drove ahead of him, there were the manager and a couple, and in his own car there were the remaining four people including himself.
Although they set off in the morning, due to the many stops they made on the way, the sun was already setting when they arrived at the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge ran across a deep valley in the middle of a mountain.
As they approached the bridge, it began to drizzle, and fog started swirling around them.
There was an open space in front of the bridge, and if the weather were fine, they would have parked their cars in there and crossed the bridge to the other side on foot and come back.
(The other side of the bridge was a dead end. The bridge was left there for sight-seeing.)
However, the moment they reached the open space, the first car came to an abrupt halt.
"What are they doing...?"
The four people, who were inside the second car which also stopped about 10 metres behind the first car, had no clue as to why the manager stopped his car. For some minutes, those in the second car just sat there looking on.

Full Moon
(Translated by Saya)
The following is the account of my mother's experience...
Five years ago, my mother was working for my father's business partner.
Her boss, the company director, would become very irritable at times, and lose his temper at the slightest provacation.
Someone would tell him, "please make sure you look through these documents," and he would somehow blow up, and start taking his anger on the objects around him, and sometimes even start throwing them around.
One day, my mother was on her way home thinking "he was in a bad mood today too," when she noticed the full moon in the sky.
The same thing happened the following month, and the month after that; and she realised that when her boss became irritable it was invariably on a full moon day.
In time, she started thinking, "I don't want to go to work tomorrow because it's a full moon day."
But the boss died suddenly, and it was not because of illness or an accident. He had seemed perfectly robust and healthy up until the time of his death.
Apparently, he had a heart attack. People conjectured that perhaps he had been working too hard.

Groovy Question
What does the question mark mean in GSP/Grails?
I saw this in my generated GSP pages. What does the ? mean?
<g:textField name="name" value="${phoneInstance?.name}" />
Answer Source
It's the "Safe Navigation Operator", which is a Groovy feature that concisely avoids null pointer exceptions. See _URL_
In this case, if phoneInstance is null, then it doesn't try to get the name property and cause a NPE - it just sets the value of the field tag to null.

MATLAB Examples
Gearbox Efficiency Measurement
This example shows a test for measuring gear box efficiency. The input shaft is driven at a fixed speed and a variable torque is applied to the output shaft. Power is measured on both the input and output shafts, and efficiency is calculated as the ratio of output to input power. The simulation results match the parameters specified for the efficiency of the gear.

With OfSTED returning to publishing reports for inspections conducted before the coronavirus lockdown, we wanted to remind education and training providers that there will come a time when training programmes will be back in full operation and OfSTED will start to inspect again. After 6 weeks of lockdown, this is probably a good time to focus again on programme and curriculum design. Also, while there is talk about extending some framework programmes beyond the July 2020 deadline, apprenticeship providers could use this time to make the move to standards for all of their programmes. To support providers in this task we thought it would be helpful to release a short guide to help with this transition.
Difference between Programme and End Point Assessment Plans
Each apprenticeship standard has an assessment plan that sets out how learners complete their programmes. It is the job of the training provider and employer to get them there. To do this, providers, with the agreement of employers have to identify the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed and decide how these will be taught, developed and practised through on and off the job training. For apprenticeship delivery, there should be two types of assessment plans:
- Endpoint Assessment Plan – this is what will be used by the endpoint assessment organisation to assess the learner at the end of their programme with the grading criteria.
- Programme Assessment Plan – this is what will be agreed between the training provider and employer that sets out what learners need to know (knowledge, skills and behaviours) and why they need to know it. This is important as it links to OfSTED Quality of Education judgement. The what and why are the curriculum intent. In the assessment plan, providers should also set out how they are going to measure each work/evidence requirement and what the success criteria are for each – this is how curriculum impact is determined.
Programme assessment plans
Programme assessment plans help providers deliver apprenticeships and support learners in meeting the knowledge, skills and behaviours. By reviewing programme assessment plans teaching and training staff can also get a better understanding of apprentice learning, to make changes to their curriculum and pedagogies in the interest of improving teaching and learning.
Programme assessment plans allow training providers to implement a standardised process for designing and delivering high-quality programmes and meeting the OfSTED Quality of Education judgements. This is our recommended method of designing and developing apprenticeship programme assessment plans and providers make meaningful decisions about areas of strength and weakness in order to improve teaching and learning.
Step 1 – Identify the Apprenticeship standard outcomes
The first step is to identify the outcomes. In an apprenticeship programme, these are knowledge, skills and behaviours.
Step 2 – Determine the assessment measures
What do you need to do so that learners can demonstrate the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviours at the end of the programme? What tasks or evidence will they be required to complete or submit and what benchmark will define success, i.e all learners to achieve 80% pass mark for a test. To repeat what we have said – this is your curriculum intent – what is required and why and how will you determine if learners are meeting the required levels to be successful at the endpoint. In choosing measures and methods, providers should think carefully about what assessments are being set for learner and how they will provide you evidence that the knowledge, skills and behaviours are being met, that programme strengths can be built on and what learning and development needs are required by learners to drive programme improvement.
Step 3 – Mapping outcomes
Once you providers have identified the knowledge, skills and behaviours, they should map these to other assessment plans that may cover additional skills, knowledge an experiences. It is useful to map outcomes to other outcomes sets such as functional skills, safeguarding and Prevent.
Step 5 – Create the curriculum plan
The curriculum plan is critical in the design of the programme as it sets out the implementation. The curriculum should be made up of activities, modules or small courses and these should be mapped to the apprenticeship programme assessment plan. It is important for the curriculum plan to be properly sequenced and that learners, employers and the delivery staff know the logic of the order of delivery.
It is also recommended that as part of the curriculum planning process, staff also identify the 20% off the job training activities too.
Step 6 – Review the assessment plan
It is really important for providers to review their assessment plans. Having set out measures that will set success benchmarks, it is vital that at natural points in a programme these are reviewed and findings added against each of the measures. This should then feed into a programme improvement action plan. Importantly, the findings will also provide the analysis required to measure the curriculum impact.
This has been a difficult time for all education and training providers but it should also be used for positive development activities. Many providers will still be planning the recruitment of learners in September and October – this is now the perfect time to get those course right.

Vectorworks Landmark in the landscape design office
Vectorworks (Landmark) has been a constant throughout my working life and is central to my workflow as a landscape designer. I started using Vectorworks 20 years ago and back then, it was more akin to graphical-drafting software. Over the time, the capability of the program has developed and I've always tried to keep pace with the evolution to help grow my business.
What does Vectorworks do?
Vectorworks, is an advanced software solution that enables object scheduling and interactive reports. This means that when drawing an object (a line for example) it can be assigned a Data Record. These can be used to describe the material, fixing method, item dimensions and any other attributes necessary. Object or objects with Data Records can be summarised in Spreadsheets, which update in real time to reflect any changes to the design as they occur. When working on large projects CAD is therefore vital to maintain accuracy.
How is it used in the office?
For pretty much everything! Vectorworks is used throughout the design process. We use it for both 2D and 3D design allowing us to draw, explore and develop ideas from all angles.
Survey data + Concept designs:
Topographical information is imported into Vectorworks and scaled. This forms the base of all subsequent work.
Nowadays we tend to transfer the survey data onto the iPad to sketch out our preliminary ideas - it saves printing costs and avoids having to use tracing paper.
Once the general layout has been roughly agreed then the concept is brought back into Vectorworks so it can be redrafted with more precision.
At this point we may start to work in 2D and 3D to test the concept works in relation to the site levels and to get a better understanding of the proposed landscape by flying around the 3D model. Generally, we export our Vectorworks 3D work into SketchUp (new blog post coming soon) which is more fun and a faster tool to delve deeper into the concept design.
Detailed CAD drawings:
Vectorworks is also great for technical work.
For planting plans, Vectorworks has a library of species that can be selected and dropped into the plan. Each new plant is counted and displayed on a spreadsheet which is very useful for large gardens and commercial-scale developments. Additional information such as size, spacing, cost and maintenance can be attached to the plant symbol which clearly saves a lot of time if you use the same plants on different projects.
Hardscape specification is equally clever. We attach Data Records to surfaces, objects and edges. This means that all items are documented at the point of creation rather than leaving unknowns in the design.

mailbox permissions. The below steps will explain how to configure the permissions access for both options. Microsoft 365 does NOT allow Impersonation for Small Business plans.
Note: The remote PowerShell commands below can take several minutes to complete.
 1. Make sure you are using a global admin account to perform these steps
 2. Click the Windows Start button.
 3. Search for Windows PowerShell (PowerShell should already be installed).
 4. Start PowerShell under an administrator context (right-click -> run as administrator).
 5. Run the following PowerShell commands one at a time:
 Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted$LiveCred = Get-Credential
 Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
 Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
 Connect-ExchangeOnline -ConnectionUri _URL_ -Credential $LiveCred
 Enable-OrganizationCustomization
 The Enable command may take a long time to run and may error out. If so, wait a few minutes and run it again.
 New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "ApplicationImpersonation" -User _EMAIL_
 - Make sure to replace "_EMAIL_" in the PowerShell command above with the admin account being used for migration.
 - Ignore any errors such as "This operation is not available in current service offer."
 - Ignore any errors such as "The assignment of the management role 'ApplicationImpersonation' [...] won't take effect until user is migrated."
Benefits:
Using impersonation, it is possible to stop sharing the throttling quota and connection limits associated with a single administrative account. Instead, the throttling quota of each user is used to log in to each user mailbox.
Using impersonation means:
 - Eliminating most "Connection did not succeed" errors
 - Allowing migration of more mailboxes concurrently
 - Reducing the impact of throttling and connection limits
 - Using an admin account without assigning a license to it
Full Access
To manually grant administrative access for migration, execute the following remote PowerShell commands:
Note: The remote PowerShell commands below can take several minutes to complete.
 1. Make sure you are using a global admin account to perform these steps
 2. Click the Windows Start button.
 3. Search for Windows PowerShell (PowerShell should already be installed).
 4. Start PowerShell under an administrator context (right-click -> run as administrator).
 5. Run the following PowerShell commands one at a time:
 6. Run the following PowerShell commands one at a time:
 Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted$LiveCred = Get-Credential
 Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
 Import-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
 Connect-ExchangeOnline -ConnectionUri _URL_ -Credential $LiveCred
 Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Add-MailboxPermission -AccessRights FullAccess -Automapping $false
 - The command to grant Full Access rights needs to be applied each time a new mailbox is created since permissions are set directly on each mailbox. The administrative account will not have access until the permissions are applied.
 - In the script above, the username "MigrationWiz" should be replaced with the name of the administrative account that was set up, by following the instructions in this Knowledge Base article.
 - This username is the Administrative Username that needs to be entered under the project's Source or Destination settings, within MigrationWiz, when checking the box labeled Use Administrative Login.
 Create and License User Accounts
 Set up accounts on Microsoft 365 and assign licenses. These can be created in several ways:
Modern Authentication Requirements
The steps listed in the Obtain Client and Tenant ID Settings for Mailbox and Exchange Online Migrations section of the Authentication Methods Migrations KB apply to both the source and destination tenant when they are Exchange Online, in regards to Exchange Web Services (EWS) in mailbox, archive mailbox, and public folder projects. Use a Global Administrator for the configuration steps.
Please review the documentation before preparing the destination.
Prepare the tenant to send & receive large items
We do not impose any limit on item/attachment sizes. However, large items/attachments can fail to migrate because of external factors. There are two considerations:
 1. What is the maximum attachment size allowed by the Destination system?
 - Most email systems impose size limits. For example, if the Destination system has a 30MB limit, any item/attachment larger than 30MB will fail to migrate.
 - What is the connection timeout for the Source and Destination system?
 - For security reasons, most email systems close opened connections after a predetermined amount of time. For example, if the Destination system only has 512Kbps of network bandwidth and closes connections after 30 seconds, we may be unable to transfer large items/attachments before the connection is closed.
 MigrationWiz will automatically make multiple attempts to migrate large items. Upon completion of a migration, you may resubmit it in error retry mode to try to migrate failed items. This is always free of charge.:
 When migrating from or to Office 365 use the steps provided here to increase the Max Send and Max Recieve quotas, Change message size limits in Office 365.
 MigrationWiz Steps
 Create a Mailbox Migration project
 You will need to create one project per Lotus Notes Extractor. The server for each Source Server Name will be the Lotus Notes Identifier from the Lotus Extractor.
 1. Click the Go to My Projects button.
 2. Click the Create Project button.
 3. Click on the type of project that you wish to create. For this migration:
 - Mailbox: Mailbox projects are used to migrate the contents of the primary user mailbox from the previous environment to the new environment. Most mailbox migrations can migrate email, calendars, and contacts.
 For mailbox migrations, use administrative credentials to access mailboxes. In most migration scenarios, the admin account needs to have full access rights to the Source mailboxes.
 1. Click Next Step.
 2. Enter a Project name and select a Customer.
 3. Click Next Step.
 Endpoints
 During the migration setup, create the Source and Destination endpoints.
 Endpoints are now created through MigrationWiz, rather than through MSPComplete. The steps for this section outline how to create the endpoints in MigrationWiz.
 If you are selecting an existing endpoint, keep in mind that only ten endpoints will show in the drop-down. If you have more than ten, you may need to search. Endpoint search is case and character-specific. For example, Cust0mer will not show up if the search is customer. We recommend keeping a list of endpoints you have created, along with any unique spellings or capitalization you may have used.
 Create a Source Endpoint
 1. Click New.
 2. Enter the endpoint name.

Book Description
If we do stop to think on housing, what do we see? What is housing and what does it do? These seem deceptively simple questions, but they are often left unanswered. The reason for this is that a lot of discourse on housing is really a concern for policy-making and the critical evaluation of existing policies. Discourse, is not, properly speaking, on housing at all. It is concerned with provision, distribution and access, but this thinking on housing stops at the front door. It is only concerned with what is actually external to housing.
But for most people, housing already exists and they have access to it. Housing is not then about policy, but about how we can use what is a complex object in a manner that allows us to live well. Housing, for most of us, is about what we do when the front door is firmly shut and we are free from the external world.
These essays explore this idea of housing as an object that exists for use. Housing is pictured as an object that contains activity. These pieces look at what we do with housing once we have it and so provides a necessary underpinning for any understanding of why housing is important.
A further purpose of these pieces is to present different ways of thinking and writing on housing. It is an attempt to show that housing is a suitable topic for philosophical discourse. It is suggested that we can and should seek to establish a philosophy of housing, rather than just relying on the traditional social sciences.

September 13, 2018, © Leeham News.: Last week we began an article series looking at the cost equation for an airliner. We discussed the different costs and how these would be affected by airline type and operating area.
Now we calculated the different costs for a Legacy airline operating either in the US, West Europe or Asia.
- The Narrowbody operated by a legacy carrier has high Aiport costs as it frequently take-offs and lands on major airports.
- For the Widebody operation, the fuel and capital costs are higher than Navigation and Airport fees. The differences in how the US, Europe and Asia handle en route navigation fees creates a large Navigation cost difference between the geographies.

Breaking myths around farming, towards sustainability
Wall Pepper: A new method in Pepper cultivation.
Wall pepper is a method of cultivating pepper as a mono-crop in a compact area.
Every crop in the plantation has its own characteristics in terms of its water needs, nutrient levels, shade patterns and requires different cultivation techniques.
Though a mixed crop system is a good concept, maintenance becomes a challenge. The cohabitation of the crops gets disturbed as the least tolerant crops get destroyed and the stronger one becomes sustainable and becomes the mono-crop in the long run.
Usually, pepper vines are planted to the shade trees which act as supporting standards and can grow up to 40 feet tall. As the vines grow taller, harvesting becomes difficult and also the quality of the peppercorn will be compromised as the farmers tend to harvest in one lot.
To overcome these challenges, we explored a method of growing pepper at a lesser height. The upward-growing apical tip also called "terminal shoot" is chosen for this method. Typically, the vines grow during the monsoon season and the tender tips harden during spring. We cut the top which has 5 to 8 nodes and then turn them into further cuttings with 1 to 2 nodes each and plant them in a growing bag. It is then raised as done in the regular pepper nursery pots in which the best-rooted plants are selected and transferred to the ground. Gliricidia sticks or poles can be used as supporting standards. This method is already being followed successfully in a few plantations in Kodagu. We call it "Crops from Scraps" as we use discarded plant parts or material for cultivation.
Pepper plants raised through the conventional method are unsuitable for wall pepper cultivation. Wall Pepper can also be called a hedgerow method of cultivation as it requires less spacing between the plants as compared to the conventional method.
The advantages of this method are as follows:
Starts yielding from the first year of planting.
Harvesting can be done as and when corns are matured.
Pruning can be done when plants grow old and get crowded. It is successfully trialed out.

An unassuming coin with a human head on the heads side and a canine shaped head on the tails side. It is shiny and is about the size of a 50 cent coin. In the corner of the coin there is a small stamp that declares it "GNDN". The coin itself holds a strong magnetic charge that is activated when the coin is moved quickly. This movement usually manifests in a coin flip. The polarity of the field changes depending on which side is face up. Heads up the coin attracts metal within a radius the size of a small room and can form a large tower if left undisturbed for a period of time. Tails up the coin repels metal as soon as it comes into contact with the surface the coin is currently laying on. Currently resides in the tunnels of the Warrens.

Studies of the Effects of Chemical Treatment on Bending and Torsional Rigidity of Bast Fibres
Keywords:flax, hemp, bast fibres, bending rigidity, torsional rigidity, double pendulum, chemical treatment.
In the presented work the influence of chemical treatment on bending and torsional rigidity of flax and hemp fibres was studied. The morphological properties, bending and torsional rigidity of bast fibres before and after chemical treatment were investigated. Method of double pendulum for determination of fibre bending rigidity and method of torsional pendulum for determination of fibre torsional rigidity were adapted to the investigation of bast fibre rigidities. During the investigations the mean periods of pendulum vibration in bending (Tg) and in torsion (Tt) were measured. On the basis of these periods the mean bending and torsional rigidities were calculated as well as coefficients of variation of the periods. It was shown that the adapted methods are useful for bast fibre rigidities investigations and that the applied chemical treatment lead to decreasing of bending and torsional rigidities of the studied fibres.

Of Saints and Sharifian Kings in Morocco: Three Examples of the Politics of Reimagining History Through Reinventing King/Saint Relationship
MetadataShow full item record
The relationship between sainthood and the sharifian monarchy in Morocco has attracted much attention from researchers within the area of Moroccan studies. The analysis of this relationship can offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Moroccan history because the king and the saint are widely regarded as the two most salient actors in this history. Yet, the study of the relationship between these two figures has suffered a tendency towards downplaying its historically dynamic nature, and essentializing the cultural constructs upon which it is predicated. In this thesis, I offer a revisionary reading of king/saint relationship through analyzing three examples from the 'Alawite dynasty. I argue that this relationship has been highly dynamic, and has capitalized on baraka and sharifism as versatile cultural constructs. More significantly, the dynamics of king/saint relationship in Moroccan culture allows the strategic reinvention of history in order to meet the demands of changing historical contexts.

For Hallowed Ground
For Hallowed Ground is a turn based digital board game where you play as one of three teams to try to capture the sacred lands. The board is made up of hex tiles where the player can move to and engage in exciting combat casting unique spells with faith. Faith is gathered at temples scattered around the map.
Turn Rules
The player must move all their pieces using at most two (2) of three (3) movement abilities, but not less than one (1) movement abilities. These abilities are:
 1. Move
 2. Attack
 3. Rotate
Some basic turns would be something like:
 1. Move to a purple tile with first piece and attack.
 2. Attack to a red tile with second piece and rotate.
 3. Move to a blue tile with third piece and rotate.
 4. Move to a blue tile with fourth piece and end turn.
Spells are powerful abilities acquired from the Gods. These are the real game changers because they can be used at any time during your turn. However, you must be in a certain formation (a particular way your pieces are placed on the board) to cast the spell.
Player Input
The player can either click on the tile they want to select or they can tab through their units. These are separated into 2 different functions.
If the mouse is clicked, the code forms a raycast at the mouse position.
It then passes the hexTr into SelectTile, which selects a tile based on the selection method.
Artificial Intelligence
The AI in this game is developed by Josh Mahler (that's me!). It uses a Utility based AI to tell the player's opponents how to take their turns.
UtilityAction is the base class for everything scorers.
I used a Weighted Random algorithm for this. This uses "weights" or numbers given to the computer based on the board position it's in and where opponents are facing. The function is a bit long so I will split it up into multiple pictures.
Weighted Random Figure 1.1
Weighted Random Figure 1.2
The position it's in is based on the health it's currently and if it can reach a nearby shrine and/or biome tile. I created a heatmap for the possible tiles everyone can move and attack to. This is the second part of the setup for the algorithm. This tells the AI where it is best suited to move to. This causes the player's opponents to sometimes flank the player and move behind where the player's pieces are currently facing.
Orientation/Rotating Pieces
If you rotate a piece, it shows the new tiles the piece can move to. This is the function that gets called as the middleman for that process. It may not seem like much, but it is the most helpful function I created for this project.
Tools for Designers
I created some tools early in production for this game. These are the map maker, moveset maker, and formation maker. All these tools are easy to use and let the designers go wild with creative ideas. These tools helped in the later production of the game, particularly when we had to create a tutorial.
Moveset Maker
This image is showing off one possible use of the moveset maker tool. The designers would come up with where the piece can attack (red) and move (blue) on paper. This would get translated to the middle image (blue -> blue, red -> red, overlap -> purple). This can all be finished in 5-10 minutes using this tool.
User Interface
The UI/UX in this game is the game. The scrollable field and formations are the obvious UI choices in the game because they stand out. However, all the hex tile color changes are done in a complex way. I could not have done this project without one resource, This was a savior during all stages of production and definitely deserves some praise. I used the axial coordinate system as the main way to reference hexes. In the map maker tool, they are instantiated in an odd-row horizontal layout, then translated to an axial coordinate to get the name of the tile. Only when the user wants to rotate a piece is it ever referencing something other than axial coordinates. I take the axial coordinate of the tile and rotate it using cube coordinates. Then I get translate the cube coordinate back to axial coordinate to get the tile.
The camera can rotate and zoom as well. Holding Alt allows you to rotate the camera as you see fit. Holding middle mouse button (scroll wheel) allows you to translate the camera. Scrolling with middle mouse button allows you to zoom in and out with the camera.

WINGS creates opportunities for Guatemalan families to improve their lives by providing them with family planning education and access to reproductive health services. Since 2004, WINGS has trained over 380 youth aged 13-19 as peer educators, who in turn have shared accurate information about sexual health with nearly 56,000 young people.
In 2011, WINGS began to use street theater as part of its youth outreach. Based on this success, it sought a collaboration with ArtCorps to expand and deepen creative methods throughout its Peer Education program. New arts-based tools developed by ArtCorps are enabling young leaders to explain technical concepts, such as the functioning of reproductive organs, and facilitate discussions on sensitive and often taboo topics like gender roles and domestic violence.
ArtCorps will provide Art for Social Action tools that increase knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and foster dialogue among peers and couples.
In a country where 34% of boys and 22% of girls are sexually active by age 15 and reproductive health education is scarce, the outlook seems grim for youth seeking to improve themselves and make healthy choices. How can the youth of Guatemala take control of their health and build better futures for themselves, their families and their communities?
- 250 teens are equipped with knowledge and skills to make healthy relationship and sexual health decisions.
- 250 peer educators gain leadership skills and creative tools to more effectively educate and facilitate dialogue with their peers on reproductive health.
- Through 31 public presentations and theater performances, youth raise awareness about teen health with over 2,200 students and teachers from four schools.
ArtCorps and WINGS are opening young minds by sharing critical knowledge and training youth to take a leadership role in educating their peers about sexual health and healthy relationships.
- Developing Peer Educators: Evelina worked closely with WINGS education staff to train 250 youth from 13 youth groups (selected to be reproductive health peer educators) to express themselves, think critically and share powerful narratives that inspire others.
- Sex Ed Plays: During the year, the peer educators wrote and produced 12 plays about sexual health, gender and domestic violence under Evelina's guidance. These plays were performed in the Sacatepéquez schools, reaching over 2,200 youth and teachers.
- Teen Art Exhibits: Art created by the peer educators to encourage teens to make healthy decisions was displayed in the schools, health clinic and public park.
Evelina Jagminaite is a Lithuanian artist and Renaissance woman, who has studied economics, anthropology and environmental science as well as fine arts and dance. In her work with domestic violence survivors, university students and youth from low-income families, she has found art to be a powerful strategy for behavior change.
"Using creative activities like dance, storytelling and body-mapping helps [participants] to retain new information with greater ease and enjoy the learning process." ~ArtCorps Artist Evelina Jagminaite

 What Are the Different Types of Diesel Heaters?
 There are different types of diesel heaters available, including air heaters, water heaters, and combination heaters, each offering unique heating options for caravans.
 Air heaters function by drawing in cold air from the surrounding environment, passing it over a heat exchanger that is heated by burning diesel fuel, and then circulating the warm air back into the caravan interior.
 Water heaters, on the other hand, utilize a heat exchanger that warms up a water-based antifreeze solution, which is then pumped through a network of pipes to radiators or convectors placed throughout the caravan.
 Combination heaters provide the benefits of both air and water systems, offering a versatile solution that can effectively heat the caravan interior and provide hot water for showers and washing.
 Air Heaters
 Air heaters are a type of diesel heater that focuses on circulating warm air within the caravan, providing efficient heating and comfort for travelers.
 This type of heating system plays a crucial role in creating a cozy environment inside the caravan by continuously circulating warm air.

National Day is here! And other than looking forward to an extended weekend, we teens can also expect to hear this year's National Day theme song played again and again over the airwaves.
There is just one problem – the song itself.
So what exactly does an NDP song need in order to score with us youth?
Three things: Fast-paced, catchy music, meaningful lyrics, and how much it touches our hearts.
A good example of such a song is Reach Out For The Skies, the 2005 theme song sung by Taufik Batisah and Rui En, the year I watched the NDP Preview live.
As the song was performed, the sea of students and other spectators was swaying so enthusiastically, I thought they were ready to jump out of their seats and do a song and dance number themselves.
The words to the song were simple, yet conveyed a strong message to Singaporeans to do the best they can and make their nation proud.

There are a few reasons animals might run in front of cars. One reason could be that the animal was chasing something and didn't see the car coming. Another possibility is that the animal is scared and running away from something else, like a predator.
Or, the animal could simply be crossing the road to get to the other side. Whatever the reason, it's essential to be careful when driving and be on the lookout for animals to avoid hitting them.
Why Do Animals Run in Front of Cars? There are a few reasons why animals might run in front of cars. One possibility is that they are startled by the car and its movement and are not used to seeing such large objects moving so fast. Another option is that they're trying to escape from something else – maybe they're being chased by another animal or scared of something else in their environment.
Whatever the reason, it's essential to be aware of animals on the road and try to avoid hitting them if possible.
Why Do Deers Run in Front of Cars?
There are a few reasons why deer may run in front of cars. One reason is that the deer are trying to escape from something chasing them, such as a predator. Another reason is that the deer are trying to cross the road to get to the other side.
If there is a lot of traffic on the road, the deer may become scared and confused and run in front of cars.
Why Do Squirrels Run Out in Front of Cars?
There are a few reasons squirrels might run out in front of cars. One possibility is that the squirrel is trying to cross the road and doesn't see the car coming. If this is the case, the squirrel is probably just as startled by the car as the driver and didn't mean to cause any trouble.
Another possibility is that the squirrel knows there's a car coming and is trying to get away from it. This could be because the squirrel is scared of cars or because it's been hit by a car before and doesn't want to get hurt again. If you see a squirrel running in front of your vehicle, it's best to brake slowly and give it time to get out of the way.
If you're lucky enough to live in an area with lots of trees, you might also see squirrels running along power lines or chasing each other up trees. This isn't because they're trying to commit suicide – it's just what SQUIRRELS DO! So if you see one doing this, don't worry – they know what they're doing (probably).
Why Do Cats Run in Front of Cars?
There are a few reasons cats may run in front of cars. One reason could be that the cat is trying to catch something, like a bird or another small animal. Another possibility is that the cat is scared and running away from something.

Whatever the reason, it's essential to be aware that animals can appear suddenly and without warning on roadsides, so it's always best to drive cautiously in areas where wildlife is present.
Why Do Raccoons Run in Front of Cars
Raccoons are often hit by cars because they will run in front of them. This is likely because raccoons are nocturnal animals and are more active at night. When it's dark, they may not be able to see the approaching car in time to get out of the way.
Why Do Rabbits Run in Front of Cars
Rabbits are prey animals, and their instinct is to run away from anything that could be a predator. Unfortunately, this often means running into the path of oncoming traffic. There are a few theories about why rabbits seem to have a death wish regarding cars.
One is that they're so focused on escaping the perceived danger that they don't even see the cars coming. Another possibility is that the bright headlights of approaching vehicles confused them, making it difficult for them to judge distances accurately. Whatever the reasons, it's essential for drivers to be aware of this potential hazard and take steps to avoid hitting rabbits with their cars.
If you see a rabbit on or near the road, slow down and give it plenty of room to escape. And if you live in an area with many rabbit crossings, be especially cautious at night when visibility is reduced.
Why Do Animals Run in Circles
When animals run in circles, it's often a sign of feeling dizzy or disoriented. This can be caused by various things, including inner ear infections, head injuries, neurological disorders, and even certain types of poison. Occasionally, animals will run in circles because they're chasing their tails!

Why Do Deer Run in Front of Cars
Anyone who has ever driven in deer country can attest that it's not uncommon for deer to dart out in front of oncoming traffic. While this may seem like a senseless act on the part of the deer, there is a reason behind their behavior. Deer are most active at dawn and dusk, which coincidentally are also when many people commute to and from work.
This means there is a greater chance of encountering a deer on the road during these times. Deer are also more likely to be found near roadsides with less vegetation to hide in. As cars approach, deer will often run out into the road in an attempt to escape.
Unfortunately, this often leads to tragic results for the deer and the driver. To avoid hitting a deer (and causing severe damage to your car), it's essential to be extra cautious when driving in areas where they are known to live. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for any movement on or near the road, and always brake if you see a deer ahead of you.
Why Do Foxes Get Run Over
Why Do Foxes Get Run Over? Foxes are beautiful, cunning creatures revered in folklore and legend for centuries. But in recent years, they have become increasingly common roadkill across North America.
A study by the University of Georgia found that foxes are the second most commonly hit animal by vehicles, after deer. So why do foxes get run over so often? There are a few reasons.
First, as urbanization and development continue to encroach on natural habitats, foxes are being forced into closer contact with humans and busy roads. Second, foxes are attracted to roadside debris like garbage and carcasses, which puts them at risk of getting hit by a passing car. And finally, foxes are naturally curious creatures who may approach cars out of curiosity or fearlessness, only to get struck by one.
Sadly, this trend will continue as human populations develop more land. But there are some things we can do to help reduce the number of foxes killed on our roads each year. For example, drivers can be more aware of their surroundings and watch out for animals crossing the street.
We can also work to preserve natural habitats so that foxes have somewhere safe to live away from busy roadsides.
The blog post discusses why animals may run in front of cars. One reason is that the animal may be trying to escape from something, such as a predator. Another reason is that the animal may be unable to see the car coming and is startled by it.
The author also notes that some animals are curious and want to investigate the car.

Today, it does not matter how intelligent you are but it sure does matter how many intelligent gadgets you own in your house.
Everything has a mind of its own and every object is linked to online technology in some way.
In this article, we are talking about the Generac Generator. This is a smart device, to say the least.
People have fallen in love because of the device's capabilities like sensing a power outage and turning it on by itself so that you do not have to spend a minute in the dark ages.
You do not even need to be physically present at your home for the device to turn on. It can do so on its own but we are not here to rave about the features of the Generac Smart generator.
This blog is dedicated to the question of how to fix Generac error code 2800. The device operates with complex technology and hence, is prone to errors.
The good part is that there are several error codes that will help you find out what exactly is wrong and what needs to be fixed to make full use of your device.
In the subsequent section, we will also see why is the error present and what the error means in the first place.
What is error code 2800 on a Generac generator?
There are many different errors that are common on the Generac generator and these can occur due to negligence on the user's part, or a fault in the system.
Decoding the error is important before you take steps towards fixing it. So, what does the error code 2800 signify?
The error code 2800 on the Generac generator means that the generator is no longer running. It can be due to the auxiliary switch being turned off or an alarm buzzing.
We will discuss the reasons behind this in the next section.
causes of error 2800 on your Generac generator?
Now let us dive into what is causing your Generac generator to stop and display the error message 2800.
There are a couple of reasons that can best explain this error occurrence.
- The Auxillary shutdown button has been pressed/is Open.
- The wiring of the generator is faulty
There might be a couple more reasons in play but these are the ones that make the most sense.
How To Fix Generac error code 2800?
There are not many reasons for the Genarc generator to show error 2800 apart from the reasons mentioned above.
The error code however comes with a warning that says 'Service Required'.This might be alarming to you and you might have been seriously considering the servicing option but there is no need.
There are some easy fixes that you can apply and the generator will start running without a service.
Fix 1: The wiring of the generator is faulty
The error 2800, indicates that one of the two auxiliary switches, in some cases even both of them are turned off.
This error can also appear when the wires connecting the generator to the switch are broken in which case, it does not matter whether the switch is on or off as the connecting circuit is damaged.
This is one of the first things you should check when you receive this error message as it is also the easiest one to fix.
If you find that the wire is broken, just simply replace the wire and the generator should be back after a normal refresh. We will also mention how to refresh the generator after troubleshooting it in the next section.
Fix 2: One of the auxiliary switches is turned off
There are two auxiliary switches on the generator and they are arranged as toggle switches. One of them is located internally and the other one is located externally at the back of the device.
Usually, the auxiliary switch that is located outside, is more prone to accidental switch off as it comes in contact with many external factors.
When you notice that the generator is flashing error 2800, after taking a look at the circuit, check the external auxiliary switch. Turn that on and refresh if it was off.
If everything is okay with the external switch, then move to the internal switch and open the device to take a look. Switch it on and refresh the system to see if the trouble is eradicated.
How to refresh the system after the troubleshooting?
The system seems to be in a rut even after you turn on the auxiliary switches or change the wiring because it needs a system refresh to register the new changes.
Here are the steps to refresh the system after the troubleshooting session has ended.
- Locate the red button that is to switch off the system.
- Press the Off button
- Now locate the grey button that is for the Enter command.
- Press the Enter button
- Locate the green button that initiates the auto turn-on for the generator
- Press the Auto button to let the generator start the automatic operations.
- The system of the generator will be refreshed and will start with the changes registered.
What to do when nothing works?
If there is a serious issue with the Generac generator, then the fixes above might not work for you.
In these cases, you might also experience that both the auxiliary switches are on and the wires connecting the generator to the switch are also proper without any breaks. This may indicate a deep-seated error in the system or the hardware of the generator.
At this point, you should contact the support helpline for the Generac generator and describe your problem.
They will send a technician to examine what is wrong and help you with the device. You might also receive a replacement piece if you are eligible for that.
The error 2800 might read as service required but in some cases, this might not be true. There are some minor issues related to the auxiliary switches and the connecting wires.
We have mentioned how you can solve these minor kinks and get your system to run efficiently without any errors.
Do not forget to refresh the system once you apply the troubleshooting tips and the mentioned solutions so that the system can register the change and respond accordingly. If nothing works, your best option is to contact the customer support team.
We hope that this was helpful. Keep following for more tech updates and advice.

IKEA Foundation - Portfolio Strategy Support
Climate Change is a pressing issue for all but especially for those with minimal resources and vulnerable to its effects. This is the group the IKEA Foundation focuses on through their projects and grants through their portfolio areas focusing on food/agri, energy, livelihoods and entrepreneurship. However, climate change, a confronting and fast approaching threat, was missing from these portfolios. This is why TheRockGroup supported IKEA Foundation in a review of their portfolios to incorporate Climate change into them. As a result Climate Action is now a 5th portfolio category under which the foundation is making a difference though their strategic projects and grants.
IKEA Foundation is has 4 different portfolios under which they fund projects and make grants to make a strategic difference in their impact areas. Recognizing climate change as an issue that needed addressing they asked TheRockGroup to help them review their current portfolio and strategy to find a way to integrate climate change into the portfolio and see how each portfolio can have an impact on climate change.

Step 1:
Given a non-leap year
$\therefore$ A non leap year has 365 days
Which includes 52 whole weeks
$\therefore 52\times 7=364$
Step 2:
$\therefore$ Remaining is 1 day which could be either of the day out of 7 days.
$\therefore$ Probability of having 53 tuesdays or 53 wednesdays =$\large\frac{1}{7}$
Hence (A) is the correct answer.
