The Bridge of Lions
The Original Bridge
The Bridge in the open position
One of the Lions
The New Bridge
Backstory and Context
Construction on the Bridge of Lions started in 1925 and finished two years later. This structure replaced the old bridge and connected St. Augustine and Anastasia Island. Two marble lions were mounted on each side of the Bridge to symbolize the guarding of St. Augustine (Cooper). With length of 1,545 feet with two lanes, this bridge crosses over the Matanzas River.
The Bridge of Lions gets its name from the founder of St. Augustine, Ponce de Leon. Leon means lion, which is why the bridge is guarded by lions. The lions were donated by Dr. Andrew Anderson and Henry Flagler (St. Francis Inn).
Because Henry Flagler brought so many people to Florida for tourism, he knew they would need a place to stay. Henry Flagler began building the Hotel Ponce de Leon in December 1885. This hotel attracted many rich people to visit St. Augustine and Anastasia Island. To go from one side to the other can only done over The bridge of Lions. As more people came, it was decided to widen the bridge to better the traffic flow. Dr. Andrew Anderson was apart of the fast growing St. Augustine. He stated, "The past year has witnessed a revolution in our City which no one could have anticipated. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent and are being spent in our midst…The crowning enterprise, the building of the Ponce De Leon Hotel, will make St. Augustine famous… Our city bids fair therefore to become the Nice, as well as the Newport of America" (Graham, 96). Population growth in Florida continued after the Flagler era.
During the construction of The Bridge of Lions, the Florida Land Boom happened. The land boom brought the use of automobiles such as Aurora, Metz, Kritt, Regal, Peerless and Empire. More cheap cars were made quicker because of a fluent assembly line. This allowed easy transportation to the tourist state of Florida (Gannon, 301). As Florida became more popular with automobiles, the decision was made to widen the two lane road of the bridge to four lanes. This would allow traffic to flow more smoothly as tourist entered and exited St. Augustine. St. Augustine is one of the top rated tourist visiting places in Florida.
The bridge is called the Bridge of "Lions" because at the west end stands two replicas of the Medici Lions made of Carrara marble. The origin of the Medici Lions stems from the Villa Medici in Rome, Italy. They were actually a gift to the town from Dr. Andrew Anderson, a previous mayor of St. Augustine. The statues were made by Romanelli Studios in Florence, Italy. In 2015, two new lions were donated by the Schau family and placed at the east end of the bridge. The names of the new lions are Pax y Peli, which is Latin for peace and happiness. The names of the original lions are Fiel y Firme, Latin for faithful and firm.
The Bridge of Lions draws attraction to the fort in St. Augustine and many shops there as well. Ponce De Leon statue stands in the middle of the square in St. Augustine. Davis Shores is a residential spot close to the bridge. This was a popular spot to stay to get the full experience of St. Augustine. The sun sets right over the bridge which allows for a beautiful view to end the night (Griffin).
More recently, the Bridge of Lions was signed into contract to redo and create a more stable and efficient roadway. This is when the building started for the two lane bridge. However, St. Augustine became more of tourist location. The Bridge of Lions was rebuilt in 2010 (Visit St. Augustine).
The lions were taken away during reconstruction for six years. It was a big process when the workers brought "Firm" and "Faithful", the two marble lions, back to their rightful place. The process was during the middle of the night at two am. The construction workers chose the less busy time that the bridge would be used. The sheets covered lions were lowered with a crane one by one to their platforms. After both lions were put down, the lions were cleaned by sculptors to fix up the damage that was done to the lions. (Griffin)
"[The] project had also received the following awards: 2011 National Recognition Award from the ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards, Award of Merit in the Reconstructed Category from the National Steel Bridge Alliance Prize Bridge Competition, and ranked Fourth in Roads & Bridges Top 10 Bridges of 2010."

Death of a Salesman: From Page to Stage
AbstractConsidering the original dramatic text Death of a Salesman, the objective of the present research is to study and analyze different modes of adaptation carried out advancing from Persian page translations toward its considered stage performance. Using Ladoucer's (1995) model for the translation of drama texts, the Persian (audiovisual) stage performance and the two published Persian page translations involved, were analyzed so that the cases of alteration were identified and compared with/to one another. The results of the study revealed that in the case of page translation, alterations were carried out mostly due to linguistic and cultural mismatches and for the sake of the target readership. On the other hand, in the theatrical system, the alterations could be observed at a higher level in the form of freer adaptations, where not only the linguistic and cultural mismatches, but also the style and creativity of the theatre members, especially those of the director are involved. Thus, in the context of the theatrical production, different modes of adaptation are carried out when the authority of the theatre producer along with the value, taste, and interest of the theatre goers are to be taken into account.

HPUX Managing CPU resource with PRM
Overview
Process Resource Manager (PRM) is a resource management tool used to control the amount of resources that processes use during peak system load (at 100% CPU resource or 100% memory resource). PRM can guarantee a minimum allocation of system resources available to a group of processes through the use of PRM groups.
A PRM group is a collection of users and applications that are joined together and assigned certain amounts of CPU and memory resource. The two types of PRM groups are FSS PRM groups and PSET PRM groups. An FSS PRM group is the traditional PRM group, whose CPU entitlement is specified in shares. This group uses the Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) in the HP-UX kernel within the system's default processor set (PSET). A PSET PRM group is a PRM group whose CPU entitlement is specified by assigning it a subset of the system's cores (PSET). (A core is the actual data-processing engine within a processor. A single processor might have multiple cores. A core might support multiple execution threads.) Processes in a PSET have equal access to CPU cycles on their assigned cores through the HP-UX standard scheduler.

hpux: How Do I configure routing or add route?
You can use route command to configure routing. Syntax is as follows:
route add net {network-address} netmask {subnet} {router-address}
Let us assume your router address is 192.168.1.254 and network ID is 192.168.1.0/24, then you can type route command as follows:
# route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
OR
To add a default route:
# route add default 192.168.1.254
Verify that (display) routing table is updated (display routing table):
# netstat -nr
Test it i.e. try to ping or send nslookup request:
# ping mycorp.com
To flush all routing entries use command [quite handy to clean your gordian knot ;)] :
# route -f
However if I reboot HPUX box then above routing entries gets removed. To pick up your setting upon each reboot your need to configure Routes in HPUX networking configuration file – /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. To add default router/gateway 192.168.1.254:
# vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
Add or modify following entries
ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="192.168.1.254"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

what is vglock?
A vg used as cluster lock is generally called vglock. cluster lock refer to a tie breaker short of thing which is generally used in a two node service guard cluster. In the event of failure of communication between two nodes whoever takes control of lock first will continue to run cluster and other node will be halted.
Hence the purpose of this is to ensure both nodes independently form two seperate clusters in the even of failure of communication among them.


Invigilator Research Network
The Invigilator Research Network is a working group of artist/invigilators seeking to illuminate and complicate relationships between labour conditions, hierarchies, institutional practices, surveillance mechanisms and arts economies.
IRN's members regularly exploit and interrogate their wage-labour day jobs for the benefit of artistic practices. As professional art-observers, paid to watch and be forever vigilant in the presence of art, IRN activities manifest relationships between artwork, capital, and artworking. Explorations span multiple (and multiplying) platforms including academia, activism, fine art practices, fashion and live events.
IRN's explicit aim is to make tangible the links between invigilation, art making, pay-per-hour and a neoliberalised cultural sector. Considering the artist as a networked thinker, IRN aims to raise questions surrounding the meaning of creating and consuming in an age of insecurity, economic and cultural polarisation and opportunity.

The monitoring of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) state variables can provide an understanding of how various traffic flows on a network interact. As discussed in previous work the rate and diversity of the raw information available is incomprehensible in real time, considering human cognitive processing limitations. In this paper, the authors will demonstrate a solution to the problem of monitoring the attributes of TCP flows by projecting them as orthogonal visual characteristics on 3D entities displayed inside a modified game engine, known as L3DGEWorld.

Bishop McGuinness students, parents, and teachers travel annually to Peru for a service mission trip. The joy of their 2018 journey was captured in this video by former student Becca Ray. The BMCHS contingent began their trip with a tour of the capital Lima, including the church of St. Rose of Lima. Afterward they reached their home base, the Santisimo Sacramento Parish in Piura, home of Fr. Joe Uhen, Bishop McGuinness Class of 1976 alumnus.
On the trip students participate in a variety of activities throughout local villages. In past years, they have visited a girls orphanage for fun and fellowship, taught English classes, led a Bible study, helped distribute clothing and food, and built houses. Students make connections by playing with children, dancing at fiestas, holding babies, and praying with people. Through it all, they learn about teamwork, patience, and the importance of a good attitude and a smile. The goal is to let God work through them, to see the face of Christ in others, and to be the face of Christ for others.

C) \varphi_i^{H^{[a]}}: \varphi_e \cong C_{< a}\]
where \(H\) denotes a jump hierarchy on \(C\). Note that it mus not be the case that \(\mathbf d\) computes a jump hierarchy, after all it only computes all hyperarithmetic sets, but it does not necessarily do this uniformly. However, creating a jump hierarchy in this case is \(\Sigma^0_3\) (see Montalbán [3] for more on jump hierarchies). Checking whether \(\varphi^{H^{[a]}}_i\) is an isomorphism is \(\Pi^0_2\). So \(\mathbf d^{(3)}\geq deg(O)=deg(\mathcal O)\).

We have seen, that if we restrict our degrees to degrees that compute \(HYP\) and a copy of \(\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}\) then we can not be far below Kleene's O. What if we can not compute \(\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}\)? It turns out we can be quite far away in that case.

Theorem 2. There is a degree \(\mathbf d>HYP\) that is hyperarithmetically low, i.e., \(\omega_1^{\mathbf d}=\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}\).

Proof sketch. Consider the set
 \[X=\left\{ (e,H) : \begin{aligned}\varphi_e \text{ is a linear order,}\\ H \text{ is a jump hierarchy on }\varphi_e,\\ \text{ and } \varphi_e\text{ does not have hyperarithmetic descending sequences}\end{aligned}\right\}\]
This set is \(\Sigma^1_1\) so by the Gandy basis theorem it must contain a set \(Y=(e_0,H_0)\) such that \(\omega_1^{Y}=\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}\). Thus there is no \(\alpha\) such that \(Y^{(\alpha)}\equiv_T \mathcal O\). See Montalbán [3] for more on Gandy's basis theorem and jump hierarchies in this context.

We just submitted a new article titled "Positive enumerable functors" and you can find the preprint here or on <a href="_URL_ This article is joint work with Barbara Csima and Daniel Yu who proved most of the results presented there in an undergraduate research project he did with Barbara and me over the summer.

We investigate different effectivizations of functors using Turing operators and enumeration operators and compare these notions. The most promising of these notions are positive enumerable functors. A positive enumerable functors from \(\mathcal A\) to \(\mathcal B\) consists of two enumeration operators \(\Psi\) and \(\Psi_*\) such that when given an enumeration of the positive diagram \(P(\hat{\mathcal A})\) of a structure isomorphic to \(\hat{\mathcal A}\cong \mathcal A\), \(\Phi\) enumerates the positive diagram of \(F(\hat{\mathcal A})\). The operator \(\Phi_*\) will take care of the isomorphisms by enumerating the graph of \(F(f:\hat{\mathcal A}\to\tilde{\mathcal A})\) given \(P(\hat{\mathcal A})\oplus Graph(f)\oplus P(\tilde{\mathcal A})\).

We show that if \(\mathcal A\) is positive enumerable bi-transformable to \(\mathcal B\) (if there are positve enumerable functors \(F:\mathcal A\to\mathcal B\) and \(G:\mathcal B\to \mathcal A\) such that \(F\) and \(G\) are "enumerable pseudo-inverses") then \(\mathcal A\) and \(\mathcal B\) have the same enumeration degree spectrum and that positive enumerable functors are independent from the already established enumerable and computable functors.

We submitted the article to a conference and hope to expand it in the future, adding more preservation results and investigating syntactic equivalences.

My newest preprint <a href="_URL_ spectra of analytic complete equivalence relations just appeared on arXiv.

This article investigates the bi-embeddability and elementary bi-embeddability relation on countable structures both from the viewpoint of descriptive set theory and computable structure theory. Two structures are bi-embeddable if either is isomorphic to an substructure of the other. They are elementary bi-embeddable if either is isomorphic to a elementary substructure of the other.

Our main results are the following.

Theorem 1. The elementary bi-embeddability relation on graphs is a \(\pmb \Sigma^1_1\) complete equivalence relation under Borel reducibility.

The proof of this result uses Marker extensions with so called minimal models. A structure \(\mathcal A\

Previous: Implementation issues
The following iterative steps occur in typical blackboard solving activities:
- A knowledge source makes a change to a blackboard object.
- Each knowledge source indicates the contribution it can make to the new
solution state -- either dynamically or a priori based.
- A scheduler decides a focus of attention.
- A control module prepares the focus of attention for execution:
- If the focus of attention is a knowledge source -- a blackboard object
is chosen to serve as its context (knowledge centred scheduling).
- If the focus of attention is a blackboard object -- a knowledge source
to process that object is chosen and instantiated with the object as its context
(event centred scheduling).
- If both a blackboard object and a knowledge source are the focus of
attention an instance of the knowledge source is made ready for execution with
the object as its context.
- The problem solving process continues until a knowledge source has
indicated that it should stop:
- either an acceptable solution has been found, or
- lack of knowledge or data prohibits further action.

SET ACCOUNTING
Controls the current accounting file.
Requires OPER (operator) privilege.
Format
SET ACCOUNTING
Parameters
None.
Description
Each node on your system has its own current accounting file. You can control what resources this file tracks, and start up a new version of this file using the SET ACCOUNTING command.
There are two occasions when the resources used by a process are not tracked, despite the SET ACCOUNTING command:
 - When you use the RUN (Process) command with the /NOACCOUNTING qualifier.
 - When you use the $CREPRC system service with the PRC$M_NOACNT status flag.
Similarly, there is one occasion when the resources used by an image are always tracked, despite the SET ACCOUNTING command:
 - When you install an image using the /ACCOUNTING qualifier of the Install utility.
For more information on how to use the SET ACCOUNTING command, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
Qualifiers
/DISABLE[=(keyword[,...])]
Prevents the tracking of the resources specified by the keywords.
Table DCLII-16 lists the keywords you can use to specify the type of resource.
Table DCLII-16 SET ACCOUNTING Keywords for Resource Types
Keyword Type of Resource
IMAGE Resources used by an image
LOGIN_FAILURE Resources used by an unsuccessful attempt to log in
MESSAGE Unformatted record written to the accounting file by a call to the $SNDJBC system service
PRINT Resources used by a print job
PROCESS Resources used by a process
You do not need to stop the tracking of all processes and images. You can prevent resources being tracked for specific types of process and for images running in these types of process.
Table DCLII-17 lists the keywords you can use to specify the type of process.
Table DCLII-17 SET ACCOUNTING Keywords for Process Types
Keyword Type of Process
BATCH Batch process
DETACHED Detached process
INTERACTIVE Interactive process
NETWORK Network process
SUBPROCESS Subprocess (the parent process can be a batch, detached, network, or interactive process)
If the system is no longer tracking any resources, /DISABLE closes the current accounting file.
If you use the /DISABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the current accounting file does not track any resources, and the system closes the file.
/ENABLE[=(keyword[,...])]
Enables the tracking of the specified resources, and opens the current accounting file if it is not already open. The /ENABLE qualifier uses the same keywords as the /DISABLE qualifier.
Use the keywords shown in Table DCLII-16 to specify the types of resource that you want the local node to track in its current accounting file.
If the resources used by processes or images are being tracked, you can use the keywords shown in Table DCLII-17 to enable the tracking of these resources for specified types of process and for images running in those types of process.
If you use the /ENABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the current accounting file tracks all resources.
/LOG
Writes information to the current SYS$OUTPUT device as the command executes.
/NEW_FILE
Closes the current accounting file, and starts up a new version of it.
The name of the new file depends on whether the logical name ACCOUNTNG is defined in your system logical name table.
If this logical name is not defined, the SET ACCOUNTING command opens the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT.
If this logical name is defined, the command opens the file that this logical name points to. If you omit the directory, SYS$MANAGER is the default, and if you omit the file type, .DAT is the default.
The /NEW_FILE qualifier writes a record to the end of the old file that contains a forward pointer to the new file, and a record to the beginning of the new file that contains a backward pointer to the old file. These records contain the names of the new and old files respectively.
Examples
#1
$ SET ACCOUNTING /DISABLE /ENABLE=(PROCESS,BATCH,INTERACTIVE)
$ SET ACCOUNTING /ENABLE=IMAGE

This example tells the system to track the resources used only by batch and interactive processes, and by images running in batch and interactive processes. It illustrates the cumulative effect of /ENABLE and /DISABLE qualifiers, and of SET ACCOUNTING commands.
The /DISABLE qualifier prevents the tracking of all resources. The /ENABLE qualifier then tells the system to track the resources used by batch and interactive processes. The second SET ACCOUNTING command tells the system to track the resources used by images.
#2
$ SET ACCOUNTING /NEW_FILE
$ RENAME SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT;-1 WEEK_24_RESOURCES.DAT

This example closes the current accounting file, opens a new version of it, and changes the name of the old file to WEEK_24_RESOURCES.DAT.

Bobs are having a moment, experiencing a level of popularity that almost rivals their original debut in the 1920s. During prohibition the shape was so well-liked that it was considered unfashionable to wear any other style. Many daring women chopped their tresses, but those that preferred to keep their length mastered the art of creating the short shape by tucking and pinning. Now that bobs are back on the rise, knowing how to create a temporary version is essential. Read on for steps to creating this timeless vintage look. –– Laura Martin
Step 1: Prep clean dry hair with a light, even spray of protective thickening lotion and curl with a 1″ iron or styling wand, working in small, uniform sections. Wrap strands from roots to ends to ensure an even wave formation.
Step 2: Mist completed set with holding spray and allow to cool thoroughly. Use a round paddle brush to soften and combine coils, creating soft waves.
Step 3: Section off hair below the occipital bone and wind into a tight bun. Secure firmly with bobby pins, making the shape as flat as possible.
Step 4: Fold remaining hair under at the chin, pinning ends into the bun. Refine shape with finger tips and embellish with a feather, headband, or other flapper-inspired accessory.

The History of the Smallest Park in the World
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
written by Bronte Dod | photos by Rob Kerr
At just 2 feet across and with an area of 452 square inches, a circular cement urban park sits in the middle of Downtown Portland's Naito Parkway. Mill Ends Park, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest park in the world, came about in 1948 when columnist Dick Fagan of the Oregon Journal planted flowers in a hole where city workers failed to put a light post.
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
Strange happenings involve Mill Ends Park. Take the Occupy Portland movement in 2011, when someone placed plastic green army men at the park. In 2013, someone stole the park's sapling, but it resurfaced the next day. Mill Ends also caused a brief international dispute in 2014, when citizens in Burntwood, England, thought the record should be held by a park there, because it actually served as a recreation area. In the end, Mill Ends keeps its title, cementing its place in Portland's long list of popular oddities and shenanigans.

Facebook clues may affect job prospects
Clues to a person's personality provided on Facebook could hamper their chances of employment, new research has suggested. Published in the International Journal of Work Innovation, the study revealed many bosses are looking at social media sites to find out more about a would-be worker's lifestyle, attitudes and appearance.
Investigators from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Florida International University in North Miami claimed such an approach is creating a digital divide and pointed to greater encroachment of virtual identity freedoms.
The team noted: "Job seekers should be aware that their future employers are closely observing their Facebook profiles in search of a window into their personality."
They explained such practice is an emerging phenomenon likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
And while employers are turning to social network sites to screen potential candidates, they are also using the medium to monitor the activities of their current employees, the researchers added.
Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society Professor Gail Kinman CPsychol Csi of the University of Bedfordshire commented: "The findings of this study highlight the importance of managing one's online identity carefully. Under current conditions, more applicants are chasing fewer jobs.
"Employers are clearly prepared to consult a wider range of sources than the usual CV and interview in order to obtain more information about applicants' appearance, personality, lifestyle and friends in order to make predictions about their potential job performance.
"Although employers may not be very skilled at making inferences from social networking sites, the impressions they get may influence whether or not applicants are successful, or whether or not existing employees are promoted."

This page summarizes information about AP ID labels and answer sheets. For complete information, review the "AP ID Labels and the Answer Sheet" section in the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 2, available later this year.
AP ID Labels
When students provide their registration information in My AP when first enrolling in a class section, each student is assigned a unique, alphanumeric code known as an AP ID.
A personalized AP ID label sheet is shipped for each student included in your school's AP Exam order.
Students place AP ID labels on their paper exam materials, connecting their materials with the registration information they've provided. Once an AP ID is assigned to a student, it remains their AP ID every year they take an AP course or exam. Students will receive a new AP ID label sheet with their AP ID each year they take AP Exams.
For AP Chinese and AP Japanese Exams, students don't place their labels on anything because the entire exam is administered online, but they'll need to refer to their AP ID label sheet so they can enter their AP ID on the student information screen at the beginning of the exam.
For AP 2-D Art and Design and AP Drawing, students place their AP ID label on the back of their physical artworks before mailing them to the AP Program. AP Art and Design students also enter their AP ID in the digital submission web application before forwarding their digital portfolio to their AP teacher.
The AP ID labels arrive in the spring in separate shipment from the AP Exams.
The AP Program can't guarantee AP ID labels can be produced for students added to your exam order after March 15. If a student doesn't have an AP ID label sheet, they'll need to write their AP ID on their answer sheet and other exam materials.
Answer sheets are sent in your exam shipments. The answer sheet is a single page, double sided.

Conservation value of forest plantations for bird communities in western Kenya
Farwig, N.; Sajita, N.; Boehning-Gaese, K.
Forest Ecology and Management 255(11): 3885-3892
Tree plantations of native and exotic species are frequently used to compensate for forest loss in the tropics. However, these plantations may support lower species diversity and different communities than natural forest. We therefore investigated bird communities in stands of natural forest, different types of tree plantations and secondary forest in Kakamega Forest, western Kenya. We compared birds differing in habitat specialisation, i.e. forest specialists, generalists, and visitors. We recorded significant differences in mean species richness and number of individuals among the different forest types. Stands of natural forest and plantations of indigenous tree species comprised more species and individuals than plantations of exotic tree species and secondary forest. This was caused by a significant decline of forest specialists and generalists from natural forest and indigenous plantations to exotic plantations and secondary forest. Species composition of the bird communities did not differ between natural forest stands and plantations of a mixture of indigenous tree species, but clearly changed between natural forest and plantations of single tree species. These findings demonstrate that natural forest areas are needed for the conservation of forest bird diversity, but that plantations with a mixture of indigenous tree species can have similarly high conservation value.

The Luis Leon reservoir on the Rio Conchos in Mexico will be releasing water over the next few weeks. Visitors may notice that the river is higher than usual. Flow rates may increase from 50 cubic meters per second to 100 cubic meters per second. The reservoir needed to release water due to their reservoir exceeding the full pool level from recent rains.
In areas where the river spreads out over a flood plain, the rise will probably not be noticeable since so much water soaks out into the deep sand. In the canyons the river may be noticeably higher as the river flows mostly over bedrock.
Possible impacts include the hot springs at Rio Grande village being inundated, deeper water along the length of the river which will improve conditions for rafting, and possibly larger rapids in some canyon river sections.
The rise will likely be at most a few feet of depth. This is a small flow rate increase and no structures are threatened. By mid to late June the river level will subside.

Construction site diary example
What is a site diary used for in construction?
Site diaries are the backbone of construction site reporting. They are used to document daily site progress and ensure any project hiccups or claims can easily be traced back to a site diary or other document to prove exactly what happened - along with supporting evidence and signoff.
Site diaries are often the final proof in small and large court cases and claims.
Having a thorough site diary record can be the difference between paying out-of-pocket for things and events that weren't your fault - and keeping your record clean and your bank account full.
Many documents and permits in the construction industry are reactive - meaning they are used and completed in response to an event occurring. Site diaries are proactive. They are completed every day regardless of circumstance in order to stay ahead future events.
Here's a great construction site diary example
In our example below, Evan Wong is a senior engineer working in Zone 2 on a site where surface grading is taking place. Hover on the example and lick on the button to expand the full site diary.
Start using this construction site diary example template now.
So what needs to be in your site diary?
What's in your site diary will vary from project to project, but shouldn't vary from day-to-day. The obvious form fields that must be a part of every site diary entry are things like the time and date, shift location, weather, supporting photos and videos and a shift summary which will usually focus on:
- Shift activities
- Work executed
- Rate of production
- Other comments
- Safety, enviro and quality issues & incidents
In addition, depending on your role on site, you may be charged with completing more information surrounding labour, plant, equipment, materials and expenses. These tables summarise the resources used on a particular day so that reconciliation during and at the end of the project is easier.
The most important part of your site diary etiquette is that you do it daily - and when specific incidents occur. Your site diary is your document of first record - and it is the reference point for many other important documents, such as variations.
But completing and organising your site diaries is annoying...
We agree with you. Using paper, excel docs, word docs and legacy software to complete and manage your site diaries is a waste of your precious time - and the time and resources of projects, teams and companies.
If you are looking for a smarter and easier way to create, edit and complete your site diaries in the office or the field - then get started with one of our free templates below or take a look at the Dashpivot site diary app and software.

In our paper we demonstrate the first quantum detector tomography of a commercial 2x2 array of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors. We are able to extract detector-specific figures of merit including efficiency, dark-count and cross-talk probabilities form merely four elements of the reconstructed positive operator valued measure (POVM) of the device and without recourse to the underlying detector physics. The extracted figures of merit show excellent agreement with independent measurements of these quantities. Finally, we provide an intuitive operational definition for cross-talk probability and we show that parameters required for the reconstruction must be carefully chosen to avoid oversmoothing the data.

The very first sign of the Wootodo birds was found in the ancient cave drawings in 1787.
The cave was based in the highest peaks of the Alps and was discovered by the alpinist Jakob Messner who reached the peak of Mont Blanc for the first time. It was evident, that the drawing dated back to 10,000 BC.
For the first time, the real Wootodo bird was spotted in the highest German mountain – Zugspitze. The Wootodo was said to be a mix of a racoon and an owl and was described as being around 0,5 m tall and weighing about 6 kg.
The first photo of a Wootodo Bird
With the beginning of the photo cameras, the first Wootodo bird pictures came out. It was identified by its distinct appearance: burgundy coloured fur-feather body, white belly, black & white racoon type fluffy tail, owl peek and cute tiny wings.
The Unique Features of Wootodo
The most intriguing feature of the Wootodo birds was their ability to build their nests in the most magnificent places. The explanation of this was, that as it is half racoon, they are very curious and want to explore places, and the owl half make them see what others do not see. There is even a legend saying, that if you are lucky enough to find a nest of a Wootodo bird, you become gifted with the unbelievable intuition and highest sense for uniqueness.
Wootodo Birds in Danger
Sadly, these special abilities attracted the attention of more and more hunters, and the numbers of Wootodos started dropping rapidly. The major reduction took part during the Golden age of Alpinism, in _PHONE_, when hundreds of hikers started exploring the mountains, and most of the nests were destroyed.
The Unofficial Extinction
Although the extinction of the Wootodo has not yet been announced officially, none have been spotted since the 1890s. The last sighting of this animal was in one of the Alpen villages, in 1887. It is thought, that they migrated down the valley to protect their nests from the hikers.
Wootodo spotted in Leipzig!
To our great surprise, one Wootodo bird was spotted in Germany, the city of Leipzig during the summer of 2018. It is not clear are there more Wootodos out there, but this particular bird is truly spectacular! In fact, because he (we tend to think it's a male), is now no longer in the mountains, his ability to find the unseen beauty transformed into the special intuition for unique events. It looks like he immersed in the city lifestyle and applied his skills for the social world. Another kind of beauty. The beauty of special.
Wootodo the Woo!
So it happened that this super rare Wootodo bird landed in Leipzig, and to our big surprise, he heard about us trying to build a more cosy and unique event community and so decided to become friends with us and help. Wootodo birds as we mentioned above are super curious and insightful for the uniqueness and good vibes, thus we thought it is perfect to call this community Wootodo! Oh, and as his first word was "Woo" we thought of a perfect name - we present you, Wootodo the Woo! <3

The BRIT SEED School® is the 2012 Community Outreach Award Recipient presented by REAL School Gardens
The BRIT SEED School is the first non-school organization to be honored with the award
FORT WORTH, Texas (May 23, 2012) – The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) announced today that its teacher education program, The BRIT SEED School (TBSS), is the 2012 Community Outreach Award recipient presented by REAL School Gardens, the Fort Worth garden-based education organization. The award is presented annually to school partners who extend teaching, learning, and service beyond the walls of the school and engage individuals and organizations from the community in project-based learning.
Presentation of the award occurred Thursday, May 10, 2012, during the REAL School Gardens' REAL People Community-Building Event held at Holiday Heights Elementary School. The award was in recognition of the successful BRIT-developed Messy Science program which provided over 1,100 public school students the opportunity to interact with BRIT scientists and educators while experiencing an inquiry-based lesson about farming, soils, and the nature of science. This lesson was designed to support the Smart Potatoes program developed by the educators of REAL School Gardens in an effort to encourage children to grow their own food and give back to their communities.
Students in the Messy Science program are guided by scientists in making observations and predictions, assessing soil health for agriculture, designing potential investigations by asking their own questions, and discovering the importance of the plants their lives. In addition, they engage in inquiry through dialogue, journaling, and experiential learning while exposed to the field of botany.
"The creativity and learning elements designed into the Messy Science program is indicative of the talented and knowledgeable staff The BRIT SEED School employs," says Dr. Amanda Stone Norton, director, The BRIT Seed School. "Messy Science complements and enhances the Smart Potatoes program by providing experiential learning, which oftentimes serves as a catalyst for knowledge-building and long-term subject interest in children."
"The BRIT SEED School staff have given students at our partner schools a rich opportunity to become scientists, and they have demonstrated, for teachers, new ways to use their learning gardens as outdoor classrooms," says Jeanne McCarty, executive director, REAL School Gardens. "We value BRIT's knowledge and expertise, and we know our impact is deepened through collaborative efforts like this one."

Before we explain the importance of a base year in commercial leases, it is important to understand the context in which the base year analysis is applicable.
There are many types of commercial leases but the two most common forms of a commercial lease are a triple net lease and a gross lease. A triple net lease (NNN) is a lease where the landlord passes through all of the expenses associated with the property to the tenant – expenses like property tax, maintenance and utilities. In a gross lease the landlord typically pays all of the property's expenses. The third category is what is called a modified gross lease. In that scenario the lease contemplates that there may be increases in the property's expenses by assigning a base year to the lease so that the landlord will have the ability to pass through increase costs to the tenant.
So why is base year important? In a gross lease or modified gross lease the landlord typically agrees to cover the tenant's share of the annual operating expenses. That said the landlord typically limits their annual exposure to the amount of expenses incurred in the base year of the lease – which is typically the first year of the lease. The landlord then continues to pay the property's expenses in the amount in the base year but the tenant agrees to pay its share (percentage) of any increases in the property's expenses going forward. Each year in the future the tenant is then responsible for their share of increased expenses beyond the base year level.

FIRUZ KAZEMZADEH: One of the First USCIRF Commissioners Dies
USCIRF Expresses Its Deepest Regrets at the Passing of a Founder
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) was saddened to learn that on May 17 Dr. Firuz Kazemzadeh died. He was a professor emeritus of history at Yale, a distinguished member of the American Baha'i community, and a tireless champion of international religious freedom. In the accompanying picture, Dr. Kazemzadeh is shown (right) at a USCIRF hearing on Sudan in 2000.
Dr. Kazemzadeh was one of the first commissioners appointed to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), having been chosen by then President Bill Clinton in May 1999. The U.S. Congress established the Commission in the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA). Dr. Kazemzadeh was a leader of the American Baha'i community serving on the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States (the elected Baha'i national governing council) for nearly four decades. In addition, he was a scholar and professor emeritus at Yale University.
USCIRF Chair Thomas J. Reese, S.J., said, on behalf of the Commission, that, "It was leaders such as Dr. Kazemzadeh who helped forge USCIRF into a strong and vibrant voice for religious freedom throughout the world. As we look to IRFA's 20th anniversary in 2018, we know the debt of gratitude we owe individuals such as Dr. Kazemzadeh. He spoke loudly and continuously about the importance of the freedom of religion or belief and ensured that it was always on the U.S. foreign policy agenda. We have dedicated ourselves to the same cause and will carry on in his spirit and memory."
In 2001, then U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle reappointed Dr. Kazemzadeh to a second two-year term. He served as a commissioner until 2003 and as Vice Chair from 2001 to 2002. In response to his reappointment, Dr. Kazemzadeh said, "The struggle for religious freedom, like the struggle for the abolition of slavery or the exploitation of child labor will be a long and difficult one, but the principles embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will triumph and the Commission will contribute to their eventual triumph."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom is an independent, bipartisan U.S. federal government commission, the first of its kind in the world. USCIRF reviews the facts and circumstances of religious freedom violations and makes policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress. USCIRF Commissioners are appointed by the President and the Congressional leadership of both political parties. To interview a Commissioner, please contact USCIRF at _EMAIL_ or John D. Lawrence, Director of Communications (_EMAIL_/_PHONE_)


Osanyin known in Afro-cuban practice as Osain, is the Orisa in charge of the knowledge of all herbs, more than any other deity and, therefore, carries the knowledge of all the medicines used to cure any type of disease. He is an Orisa very close to Orunmila and is the husband of Oriseje.
Who is Osanyin?
Osanyin is often described by the Yoruba as a cruel, impatient, and smug Orisa. Osanyin owns the omiero (Omi Ero or holy water), and is so powerful that he is in charge of activating the initiation of all the Orisa. In addition, it is responsible for approving any type of curse that is done to a person.
In the past people used to go to a babalawo who had herbal knowledge started in Osanyin for not only spiritual but also health improvements. They were the healers and they knew the medicines that allowed to alleviate from a headache to much more important health problems. And this is because each herb, trunk or root has its virtue and when these plants are mixed with other herbs, they form medicines that can be used for different purposes.
Osanyin is an Orisa with an eye, a leg, and an arm missing. This is said to have happened because of a war he had with Orunmila, where Orunmila sacrificed Sango and he sent thunder to punish Osanyin.
How to get initiated in Osanyin
Osanyin is a delicate Orisa, so not everyone should acquire his initiation. Only if Orunmila determines that his initiation will be favorable to him, does the learning continue. After the person who wishes to be initiated into Osanyin acquires the basic knowledge of this Orisa and is able to take care of it by himself, he can begin his initiation with the babalawo who is carrying out his learning. Divinations must be carried out to know what sacrifices are necessary before their initiation.
We must remember that in Traditional Yoruba practice the person interested in initiation must acquire knowledge before doing it. At Ilé Awo we help you check your knowledge of Ifá and the Orisa with the exclusive tests that you can find in Ojú Odù.
How to feed Osain
The purpose for which Osanyin is served can be both good and bad. It can be taken care of to cure a disease to a person, to obtain good luck, riches or even to achieve the destruction of an enemy. The preparation of medicines is done with powerful enchantments that have the name of Ofo Ase.
It can be served with guinea pepper, Obi abata (kola nut), roasted corn, and alcoholic beverages. Usually the person making the offering to Osain kneels on one leg at the time of propitiation. Once these medicines are prepared, they are placed in the Osun de Osanyin, for the Orisa to approve.
Some taboo
In many rituals the participation of women is prohibited, especially when they are menstruating. As well as, on many occasions, there are herbs that cannot be united since they can cause a detrimental effect. Should not be attended without the minimum knowledge so that care is not harmful.
Osanyin types in traditional practice
There is only one type of Osanyin, usually called "Eepa Osanyin". He is known as Elese Kan ti or le elese meji sare (The one-legged man who makes the two-legged man run).
However, the herbs used with this Orisa are classified into four groups, which correspond to the four elements of nature: water, air, earth and fire. These are: ewe afeefe (air – wind blades); ewe inon (blades of fire); ewe omi (water leaves); and ewe ile or ewe igbo (leaves from the ground or from the forest).

- For Teachers
Consider the two sentences:
a) Make a habit of not to think of her.
b) Make a habit of not thinking of her.
Which one is the correct sentence? Please explain.
Got it. Thank you both of you.
Other contexts require a different response, but for the same reason.
For example 'It's important to think of her' -> 'It's important not to think of her' (not 'It's important not thinking of her.')
And other words can take either: 'It's silly not to think of her' and 'It's silly not thinking of her'.' (To my ear, the second version sounds slightly more informal - especially in the positive version: 'It's silly thinking of her.'

NCEES Testing Nomenclature
Structural Engineering (PE Structural) Exam
SE – Abbreviation for a licensed Structural Engineer
Tests the ability to practice structural engineering and is designed for engineers who practice in jurisdictions that may license structural engineers separately from other professional engineers. It is a 16-hour exam that uses a separate vertical and lateral component to test your ability to safely design buildings or bridges, especially in areas of high seismicity and high wind.
Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Exam
PE – Abbreviation for a licensed Professional Engineer
Tests the ability to practice in a particular engineering discipline competently. It is designed for engineers who have gained at minimum four years' post-college work experience in their chosen engineering discipline. Each PE exam lasts 8 hours and is split into a morning and an afternoon session.
The NCSEA Structural Licensure Committee works with SEAs to influence the adoption of consistent licensing laws and rules in the interest of public safety, especially relating to licensure of structural engineers. This committee is focused on:
- Recognizing the unique responsibility structural engineers have to protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public over that borne by all disciplines of engineering.
- Promoting structural licensure by educating and supporting SEAs pursuing licensure.
- Ensuring state licensing laws and regulations are divided and labeled by the procedures the state board uses to recognize and license individuals as professional engineers or structural engineers.
- The goal to recognize the additional SE credential based on the NCEES 16 hour structural exam and support transitioning currently practicing structural engineers to a higher standard of practice.
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes, rules, or licensing board procedures that recognizes every licensee's discipline, usually based on the specific NCEES examination passed by the licensee. Currently, there are 23 states that practice "Roster Designation"; these states publicly recognize engineers by disciplines either through self-declaration or through testing. In general, these states keep a public database of all the licensed engineers and their associated disciplines and do not regulate the practice of engineering, a licensed PE or SE can seal all structures.
Title Restriction, Partial Practice Restriction, Full Practice Restriction
A provision in a jurisdiction's statutes or rules that specifically recognizes structural engineering as a distinct discipline with certain special qualifications beyond, or in place of, those required for professional engineering licensure, typically based on NCEES testing nomenclature.
Title Restriction states: 6 states
Partial Practice Restriction states: 5 states
Full Practice Restriction states: 2 states

Game and Fish discusses doe limit
Thursday, August 14, 2003
There seems to be some confusion over the number of does that may be taken during the upcoming deer season in Arkansas. A few hunters are asking about the implications of the one-doe limit in regard to special Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife management area hunts.
The statewide doe bag limit is one. Even though a WMA and a Deer Zone are separate zones and may have different harvest restrictions, hunters cannot kill more than one doe combined, AGFC Wildlife Assistant Chief Doyle Shook said. "If you have already killed a doe by archery before a WMA hunt or before the zone doe-quota permit is valid, you cannot kill a doe during the WMA permit hunt, nor can you use the zone doe-quota permit."
Here's an example for hunters: If a hunter has killed a doe with a bow on Oct. 1 and he has a zone doe-quota permit for Deer Zone 11 or a WMA permit such as the one used at Fort Chaffee (which allows a hunter to take a doe or either sex), he is not allowed to take another doe because he has killed a doe during the archery season. No more than one doe can be taken in an individual's bag limit.
Another example: If a hunter kills a doe by a zone doe-quota permit and has a permit for a later either-sex WMA hunt, the hunter will have to buck-only hunt because he has filled his doe bag limit.
Statewide, the season bag limit is three deer. A season bag limit may contain two legal bucks and one doe. Hunters must obey zone and WMA restrictions and may hunt in different zones and WMAs as long as the statewide season bag limit is not exceeded.
In zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11, the bag limit is the same (two legal bucks and one doe) but before taking a doe a hunter must have a zone doe-quota permit. Zone doe-quota permits are not valid on WMAs that lie within the boundaries of zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11. The bag limit for archery is the same as the statewide limit. A zone doe-quota permit is not required to take a doe unless a hunter is in zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 when a firearms deer season is open.

Privacy in Statistical Databases, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 7556
Georgia Southern University faculty member Anna Oganian co-authored "Hybrid Microdata via Model-Based Clustering" in Privacy in Statistical Databases.
Chapter Summary: In this paper we propose a new scheme for statistical disclosure limitation which can be classified as a hybrid method of protection, that is, a method that combines properties of perturbative and synthetic methods. This approach is based on model-based clustering with the subsequent synthesis of the records within each cluster. The novelty is that the clustering and synthesis methods have been carefully chosen to fit each other in view of reducing information loss. The model-based clustering tries to obtain clusters such that the within-cluster data distribution is approximately normal; then we can use a multivariate normal synthesizer for the local synthesis of data. In this way, some of the non-normal characteristics of the data are captured by the clustering, so that a simple synthesizer for normal data can be used within each cluster. Our method is shown to be effective when compared to other disclosure limitation strategies.

UAE students film female teacher during class, post videos on Internet
Female students of a government school in Ras Al Khaimah filmed their female teacher during the class and posted the video on the Internet.
The management of the school seized a smartphone and an iPod from the students for filming and posting the videos on Snapchat, Arabic daily Al Khaleej reported on Monday.
The school management conducted a search operation among students and seized devices after a teacher filed a complaint that a couple of students had filmed her during the class and was forwarding the clip to other students.
The campaign led to seizure of a smartphone and an iPod, which contained videos of teachers and students while the class was on.
The teacher filed a police complaint against the students. A police officer visited the school and gave a lecture about internet crimes and the dangers of misusing smartphones.

Charles Bonnet
Bonnet painted by [[Jens Juel (painter)|Jens Juel]], 1777. Charles Bonnet (; 13 March 1720 – 20 May 1793) was a Genevan naturalist and philosophical writer. He is responsible for coining the term ''phyllotaxis'' to describe the arrangement of leaves on a plant. He was among the first to notice parthenogenetic reproduction in aphids and established that insects respired through their spiracles. He was among the first to use the term "evolution" in a biological context. Deaf from an early age, he also suffered from failing eyesight and had to make use of assistants in later life to help in his research.

EFM140™ Electrochemical Frequency Modulation
The EFM140 Electrochemical Frequency Modulation software is a non-destructive corrosion rate measurement technique. It allows for measurement of the corrosion rate without prior knowledge of the Tafel constants. In addition, the technique determines the Tafel constants and provides 2 internal validity checks.
Electrochemical Frequency Modulation (EFM) software is a powerful non-destructive method for measuring the corrosion rate. It is an ideal and inexpensive companion to DC105 DC corrosion techniques software. It was developed at the University of Leuven in Belgium with support from the Electric Power Research Institute.
EFM is a harmonic technique that relies on the non-linear nature of the corrosion reaction to extract information about the corrosion rate and the Tafel constants. Two sinusoidal voltage waveforms are summed and applied to a corrosion sample. The resultant current response is recorded. The data are further transformed from the time domain into the frequency domain where the frequency response is analyzed to yield corrosion rate information.
The EFM140 operates within the Gamry Framework, and is available for use within the Sequence Wizard. The technique is also compatible with the ECM8 multiplexer.

The Independent review of deaths and serious incidents in police custody by Dame Elish Angiolini has been published by the Home Office today. It is the first and only review of policing practises and related processes following police related deaths.
The report offers the government a blueprint for change to urgently implement in the face of numerous recent concerning deaths.
It makes over 100 evidence based recommendations, which are intended to be a pragmatic way forward. These include important recommendations on:
- Access to justice for families, including through non-means tested legal representation for bereaved families from the earliest point following the death.
- Strengthening systems and structures of accountability, holding the police to account at an individual and corporate level.
- National Oversight and learning from deaths, such as through an 'Office for Article 2 Compliance' which would monitor and report on recommendations arising from deaths.
- Improved investigation, including through the phasing out of Ex-police officers as lead investigators within the IPCC.
- Tackling discrimination, through recognition of the disproportionate number of deaths of BAME people following restraint and the role of institutional racism, both within IPCC investigations and police training.
- Better treatment of vulnerable people, including through proper resourcing of national healthcare facilities to accommodate and respond to vulnerable people in urgent physical or mental health need coming into contact with the police.
- An end to delay, in which Article 2 related cases should be dealt with in the same time scales as a civilian homicide case.
Custody deaths review urges shake-up

Ek mukhi Rudraksha : One face Rudraksh
Ek mukhi Rudraksha is the resemblance of Lord Shiva. It is Diamond in Rudrakshas. It makes us Kings. But, What makes it so Powerful? Is it allowed to wear on body? How to get benefits from Ek mukhi Rudraksha? Let us discuss about Ek mukhi.
What is Ekmukhi Rudraksha?
Ek mukhi (Eka mukhi / One Mukhi Rudraksha) is a Wonder of Nature. Normally Rudraksha beads will have 5 lines (Mukhi) on them. They resemble 5 compartments of Rudraksha nut. Each compartment contains a seed in it. But, Ek mukhi will have only one seed!
What is the shape of Ekmukhi?
Normal Ek mukhi is Half-moon shaped or Cashew-nut (Kaju dana) shaped. Not agreeing with me? Ha, Ha! What I told is NORMAL. Round Ek mukhi are present. But, they are very very rare. The reason is Rudraksha nut can't retain it's roundness with one compartment. Not only Ek mukhi, but many Two mukhi and Three mukhi Rudrakshas are not completely Round. They will turn some what oval vertically. Also note: As the lines (Mukhi) of Rudraksha increase, the bead gradually flattens.
Roundness increases the Power. But, Ek mukhi is always Ek mukhi.
Why One Face Rudraksha is so Powerful?
Nobody knows! But we can prove the superiority of One Face Rudraksha with a Rudraksha test. Milk will not spoil for 5 days if Ek mukhi is placed in it. The reason may be in the Astral body of this Rudraksha.
Is Eka mukhi allowed to wear on body?
This is an important question. Yes. Allowed! But, remember Ek mukhi Rudraksha is directly Lord Shiva himself (Sakshat Shiva swarupa). We have to behave as if we are in the Paradise of Shiva (Kailasa). No exceptions.
Like all Rudraksha Ek mukhi is also not allowed to wear while taking Alcohol, While participating in sex, and in Menstrual period. Keep it beside while taking bath to protect from water.
Children bellow 12 years can't bear the Power of Ek mukhi. For normal people, it is better to worship Ek mukhi Rudraksha rather than wearing it on the body.
How to get benefits from Eka mukhi Rudraksha?
This is a very big question. Ek mukhi Rudrksha passes the Power of Lord Shiva to the person wearing it. It burns all the Sins made by the person (Brahma hatya dosha haram). It protects him from accidents (Akala Mrityu haram). It gives a sudden rise in the career (Akasmat Dhana prapti dayakam). The person rules the world (Shiva Shakti pradayakam). If he wishes he will attain Mukti (Shiva Sayujya pradayakam).
Basic Mantra to use Ek mukhi is - "(Aum) NamasShivaya".
Only this much? Don't worry. I'm also interested in Ek mukhi Rudraksha like you. I will write at least 20 articles just on Ekmukhi. I will explain every detail I know. Please wait.
"This article is dedicated to Lord Shiva who is the Lord of Rudrakshas"

We can't smoke even in presence of our parents or elders. How can we do it in presence of Lord? Smoking is strictly prohibited in temples :)
Of course, there is no reference to smoking in the sacred books. Our ancients didn't thought of this addiction.

Hi Srihari, I'm sarath. I'm wearing a eka mukhi for a few years. I got the rudraksha from a aged sage who lives in the Himalayas when i went there. However, im not so much into sacred books. I keep up mu brahmacharyam, and other than that I do my normal life wearing my lord close to my heart. I feel awesome when i do what i feel i should do. Ultimately what i feel is that what should be done and should not be done is purely based on our perception of lord shiva, which is the karma roopam of the ultimate universal power.Have a lot more but the space and time doesnt allow that!!!


How Long Does a MacBook Air last – (And Why)?
Exact Answer: 5 years
The MacBook Air is a line of laptops developed and produced by Apple Inc. On January 15th, 2008, the MacBook Air series was introduced by Apple. It was promoted as the world's thinnest notebook, beating the record earlier put by the Toshiba Portege R200. It was also Apple's first laptop with an optional solid-state drive (SSD).
This was the first generation of MacBook Air laptops. Apple released the 2nd and 3rd generations of MacBook Air computers in October 2010 and October 2018, respectively. These second and third-generation laptops were each made to be more advanced than their predecessors.
How Long Does a MacBook Air last
MacBook Air Hardware PartLifespan
Hard Drive3-5 years
Processor3-5 years
Battery3-5 years
Screen3-5 years
Everyone has an individual perspective on how he or she defines a computer's lifespan. Once the latest model of a MacBook Air is acquired, it can remain productive for around five years. Apple laptops generally have a productive lifespan of three to five years, depending on how they are being used.
MacBook Air laptops, like any machine out there, are prone to mechanical or physical damage. This can affect them at any time, even at the store, before they are sold to users. This laptop series was designed to be the lightest and thinnest but not the toughest.
Most of MacBook Air users complain of the screen's hinges becoming a bit lose after about five years of use. This is due to the repeated movement around the hinges while flipping up and down the screen.
Some MacBook Air users are still using the first generation laptops launched back in 2008. Having a productive lifespan of 5 years does not mean that the computer becomes utterly useless after the five years are over. Even after the hinges grow loose, the MacBook Air still performs quite well.
Most problems that affect this laptop after five years of use are mechanical. It is rare to find a MacBook Air that has performance issues after five years of use. Mechanical problems are usually fixed by replacing the parts that have undergone wear or those that have seized to function altogether. Almost 70% of MacBook Air users use their laptops for more than five years.
RECOMMENDED
How Long Does Caulk Take to Dry and Why?
Why Does MacBook Air Last That Long?
The following are some of the reasons the MacBook Air has an average lifespan of five years:
System updates
After around five years of use, Apple stops supporting the laptop with system updates. This doesn't mean that the computer is no longer functional. The operating system (OS) on the computer can still run correctly. The only disadvantage is that the user won't enjoy the new features introduced by the new Mac Operating system. Some users go ahead and buy the latest laptop models to enjoy the new OS features.
What is the laptop for?
Some users use their laptops for graphic designs, communication, or general office work. These users, especially those using their laptops for office work, are always on their laptops. A lot of work in the office is done using computers and laptops. Their laptops have to have a strong processing unit; otherwise, they will start overheating and subsequently having battery issues.
Features and capabilities
Every generation of the MacBook Air comes with certain features and capabilities. As indicated above, some laptops are used for more than they can handle. Some programs or applications, especially games that are run on the computer, require too much RAM usage or CPU usage. If the laptop runs an app, it can't handle well after some time it will crash. The user should understand the laptop's capabilities and run programs and applications it can handle.
Proper care and use
Physical or mechanical damage on the laptop can occur at any time. It is, therefore, the user's responsibility to ensure that the MacBook Air laptop is kept safe from the time of purchase.
There are many definitions of a laptop's lifespan, as stated previously. The standard lifespan that seems to be set by Apple for its laptops is around five years. This is a reasonable time putting in mind that laptops are machines that are used by many people on a day to day basis.
Proper maintenance and care is key to increasing the MacBook Air laptop's lifespan. Any MacBook that is properly maintained can last several years or decades.

How the Trailer Breakaway System Works
Posted by Debbie Stice on 8/27/2015 to Horse Trailer Know-Hows
How the Trailer Breakaway System Works
The Trailer Breakaway System is designed to bring a trailer to a safe stop by activating the electric brakes on the trailer, should the trailer be disconnected from the tow vehicle while driving. You must have operational electric brakes on the trailer, the 12 volt battery must be charged& the switch cable must be attached to the vehicle.
Battery: At the front of your trailer is a black plastic case that holds a 12 volt battery. There are two wires connected to the battery at the top. One wire is the "ground" wire. The second wire (hot) connects to the breakaway switch. If there is a third wire, it's hooked to a small charger that charges the battery off the tow vehicle, through the trailer plug. If there are only two wires, there is no way that the battery can be recharged from the tow vehicle, and you must charge it by hooking an electric or solar battery charger to it. Or, you can install a small maintenance battery charger inside the battery box.
These 12 volt batteries often have a life of only two years, and since new batteries are not always fully charged, you must charge them before connecting the system. If you have a charger installed, it can charge the battery by plugging the trailer plug into a running tow vehicle for twenty minutes. Check the battery charge frequently. The entire battery can be depleted if the pin is pulled out of the switch for 20-25 minutes, IF it's fully charged. If it's not fully charged, it can deplete in 10 minutes or less. When checking the charge on the battery, first disconnect the trailer plug or you will be checking the tow vehicle's battery charge instead.
Switch: The breakaway switch is wired to the battery in the battery case & is mounted between the battery and the tow vehicle. It contains a pin that is attached to a wire cable, 44-48 inches long.
Pin & Cable: The pin must be inserted into the switch, facing the rear of the tow vehicle, with the attached wire cable in a direct path to where you secure it to the tow vehicle. The wire cable must be fastened to the tow vehicle independently. Never loop it through the safety chains! If the cable is not attached to the tow vehicle, the breakaway system will not work in case the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle. Pulling the pin out ANYTIME depletes the battery, and that's why we recommend clipping the cable to the tow vehicle with it's own clip. We never pull the pin from the switch, except to check if the switch is working or if the battery is charged.
WHY is it important to have your breakaway system working? There are several ways the trailer can become disconnected from the tow vehicle. An accident or a mistake in hitching the coupler to the ball can cause the safety chains or ball mount to break or come out of the receiver. If that happens, the heavy trailer with your animals in it could roll into oncoming traffic or into a ditch and land on it's side. If your breakaway system is working, the second the trailer becomes disconnected, the pin pulls out of the switch & engages the electric brakes ---and the trailer STOPS. This gives you between 10-25 minutes to chock the tires and stabilize the trailer before the battery charge depletes.

Question...If the emergency breakaway system safety pin breaks in half inside the switch box, but the other half of the safety pin is still in place holding the prongs open can the breaks still lock up at any time. Nope. The broken end of the pin that is still in the switch will hold the prongs open & the brakes will not engage unless the pin is pulled all the way out. Once the pin is pulled out, the brakes will engage for about 20 minutes or until the battery dies. So, if there is no pin & the trailer is rolling fine, it means that there is a dead battery.

Earthquake Glossary - seismic moment
The seismic moment is a measure of the size of an earthquake based on the area of fault rupture, the average amount of slip, and the force that was required to overcome the friction sticking the rocks together that were offset by faulting. Seismic moment can also be calculated from the amplitude spectra of seismic waves.
Moment = µ A D
µ = shear modulus = 32 GPa in crust, 75 GPa in mantle
A = LW = area
D = average displacement during rupture

Researching The History Of A Country House
A Guide to Sources & Their Use
Date of publication: 2010
The origins of this book date from the early 1990s when the author began to research the history of his own country house in the Kent Downs at Trimworth, near Canterbury. These early investigations led him to see how Trimworth could be used as a case study in a voyage of discovery which others could also enjoy. The book will be most relevant to the owners of country houses, providing a methodology for the less experienced to trace an exciting pathway of inquiry. It is based on an exploration of a wide range of maps and documentary sources available from local, regional and national archive centres. This fully illustrated guide encourages a systematic process of research into the fascinating and topical subject of house history and makes frequent reference to online sources.

No one can deny the importance of an academic institution, as it plays an important role in enhancing the learning capabilities and skills of students. Besides providing knowledge, the core objective of an academic institute is to groom social interaction skills of younger generation while helping them to succeed in the competitive world. Choosing an educational institution can be a daunting task for parents, since it is one of the most important decisions parents can make in their children's education. Therefore, mostly educational instates used academic logos to clearly show the mission statement, sincerity and dedication level of the institute to the parents and students. If truth be told, an academic logo design is the most convincing and effective way to draw attention of intended audience. The features given below are some important characteristics of academic logos:
Imagery related to an Academic Logo
Since an academic logo design is a clear representation of an institute, therefore it is very important to choose more relevant images for such logos. Images such as libraries, books, torches, sword, pencils or other related symbols are used in an academic logo design, making this visual appearance impressive and clear. This will clearly explain the educational and enlightening nature of the particular institute.
Typefaces linked to Academic Logos
When it comes to an academic logo, sensible font selection is the most important factor to create an understandable graphical image for the viewers. Explicable and professional fonts can make the logo design easily readable, helping people to read and remember the name of your institute. This will surely provide recognition and a strong credibility to your educational establishment.
Colors Selection for an Academic Logo Design
To represent the mission statement and actual purpose of academic institutes, an appropriate color selection is an absolute must for academic logos. Dark colors such as navy blue, black, brown or green are some of the best color choices for an academic logo design. The right colors can definitely make a positive impression in the minds of students and parents, making it very easy for the people to choose your institute among others.
These are a few prominent characteristics of an academic logo design which can serve as a unique brand identity for your organization. The main objective for creating academic logos is to make people aware of your educational services and convince them to choose your academic institute instead of others.

"file" provides more granularity than that, recognising many specific
formats, both text and binary.
First, it uses "magic number" checks, checking for known signature bytes
(e.g. "#!" or "JFIF") at the beginning of the file. If those checks fail
it checks for common text encodings. If those also fail, it reports "data".
Also, UTF-16-encoded text is recognised as text, even though it may
contain a high proportion of NUL bytes.

HARPER LANE, RADLETT3rd March 2021
CLOSURE OF HARPER LANE
Bloor Homes and the appointed contractor, ECL Civil Engineering, have recently undertaken work on behalf of the highway authority, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) under S278 of the Highway Act 1980 at the junction between Harper Lane and Watling Street, Radlett. Following a transport assessment for the local road network associated with the Harperbury Park housing development, the junction had been identified as requiring significant upgrading to cater for existing and anticipated traffic flows.
Signalisation of the junction to regularise vehicle movements and provide a pedestrian link across the railway bridge had been designed in accordance with HCC's Highway Design Guidance and the detailed junction proposal vetted and approved thereafter by the County. All such works are the subject of Road Safety Audits; the procedures are a systematic process for checking the road safety implications of highway improvements and new road schemes. The sole objective of the Road Safety Audit process is to minimise future road accident occurrence and severity once the scheme has been built and the road comes into use. The Road Safety Audit had been undertaken by an independent third party and signed off by HCC.
The construction of the junction had also been built in accordance with the planning permission granted for the development (planning reference no. 5/19/1590), which following initial highway works in 2019 lead to an interim scheme being agreed and installed which is thereafter due to be monitored for a period of no less than 6 months.
At the request of HCC Highways department on safety grounds the newly formed junction was closed on Friday 26th February to enable a thorough review to be carried-out, following minor incidents that have occurred since opening.
Bloor Homes is working closely with HCC to amend the junction in order to mitigate the safety concerns for pedestrians about the junction that have been observed during the short operating period of the signalised junction. Bloor Homes is aware of the significant inconvenience caused by this re-closure and all efforts are being made to expedite the re-opening of the junction. This may be in a temporary form initially, to allow Harper Lane to re-open in the immediate future.
