their length. Patient questions were divided into quartiles each containing 25% of the messages (Table 4). This confirmed that for most of the questions, the effect of question length on answer time was negligible. The answer time was 2.1 minutes (95% CI 1.9–2.3) for the shortest 25% of questions and 2.4 minutes (95% CI 2.2–2.7) for the longest 25%.
Time physicians spent answering patients' questions by question length
Patient question length Number of answers Physician answer time in minutes (95% CI)
Quartile Number of characters
1 0–308 278 2.1 (1.9–2.3)
2 309–398 280 2.3 (2.1–2.5)
3 399–594 277 2.2 (1.9–2.5)
4 595–3315 278 2.4 (2.2–2.7)
Hypothesis B states that the longest questions would consume an unreasonably large amount of physicians' time resources. These questions were defined as being the top 10% of questions (110 questions) with regard to length (>916 characters) (see Table 5).
Time physicians spent answering the longest 10% of patients' questions
Number of questions Patient question (mean number of characters) Physician answer time (minutes)
Shortest 90% of questions (≤916 characters) 1003 420 2.2
Longest 10% of questions (>916 characters) _PHONE_ 2.6
As shown in Table 5, the 10% longest patient questions were approximately 3 times the length of shorter questions (420 characters versus 1300 characters). However, the physicians spent on average 18% more time answering the 10% longest questions (2.6 minutes compared with 2.2 minutes). These results were not in favor of hypothesis B.
The results give mixed support to the hypotheses. As expected, the length of patients' questions predicted answer time, but the analysis also shows that the predictive value is negligible compared with the length of the physicians' answers. We did not find conclusive support for the hypothesis that very long patient messages should have a large effect on physician answer length and answering time. Instead, we observed a modest increase in physician answer length and only a marginal increase in answering time related to extremely long patient questions.
As noted, one of the main reasons physicians are skeptical about electronic communication is the potential for increased workload [12]; for instance, physicians might fear that patients would overuse it or that responding to questions would be time consuming. The results of the current study show, however, that these specific concerns might be unfounded. While it does take extra time to read long questions from the patient, this does not have large effects on the total time used by physicians to answer patient inquiries. In fact, a threefold (300%) increase in patient question length resulted in only an 18% increase in physician response time. Even though the average numbers may support the effectiveness of an electronic communication system, and other studies indicate that responses to email messages do not take more time than responses to nonelectronic patient messages [13], one may still question whether extreme cases will jeopardize these effects in a real-life office setting. Based on the current results these concerns appear unfounded. The average physician response time to a patient message was 2.3 minutes using the systems described in this study. Only 1.5% of questions took more than 10 minutes to answer. When compared against the average consultation time in Norwegian general practice (15–20 minutes) [14], even these unusual cases will have to be regarded as time saving, if the electronic messages substitute patients' office visits [6]. It is, however, unlikely that electronic messages can be a substitute for office visits in a one-to-one relationship. Other studies have shown that electronic messages can replace phone calls [7,8], and it is very likely that electronic messaging will find relevance as a supplement to personal encounters, for instance by recommendation of ethical guidelines [15].
Results from other investigations indicate that patients are willing to adapt to guidelines regarding the focus and content of messages [4], which should help to minimize the potential problem of lengthy patient questions. Obviously, the time-saving potential is highly dependent on electronic messages substituting for patient office visits [6].
This study included a considerable proportion of Norwegian physicians using electronic patient communication at the time the study was performed. It is not self-evident that the result would be valid for all physicians using similar services. An alternative approach would be to select a random sample of all physicians using electronic communication. At the time of the study, only a few Norwegian physicians were offering electronic communication services. A random sample could therefore be biased toward physicians being positive to electronic communication. In some countries, for instance Denmark [1], it has become mandatory for physicians to offer electronic communication services. In such contexts, a similar study based on random selection would be feasible.
The current study does not involve analysis of the content of the messages. The main challenge in doing this would be that it would require written consent from every patient. However, a prior study in similar populations has shown that only a small proportion of these messages are used for simple administrative purposes such as scheduling [11]. Instead, the majority of the patient messages are concerned with health-related questions, and requesting prescriptions, test results, and documentation for medical leave.
The average time spent answering messages might be influenced by factors such as workload and reimbursement policies. This limits the external validity of the current results. However, the investigated relationships between variables (eg, that the length of patients' messages had limited impact on the answer time), rather than their absolute values, are much more likely to also be valid in other cultural contexts.
Studies have demonstrated how email and electronic messaging systems can be used to promote balanced and patient-centered communication [16], in support of clinical decision making [17-19]. We believe the results reported here further extend the clinical usefulness of electronic communication between patients and health care providers by demonstrating the potential for saving time.

How 'swapping bodies' with a friend changes our sense of self
A new study shows that, when pairs of friends swapped bodies in a perceptual illusion, their beliefs about their own personalities became more similar to their beliefs about their friends' personalities. The findings suggest that this tie between our psychological and physical sense of self is involved in memory function: when our mental self-concept doesn't match our physical self, our memory can become impaired.

Camera Calibration for Light Fields and Camera Arrays
Camera calibration, crucial for computer vision tasks, often relies on planar calibration targets to calibrate the camera parameters. This work explores a planar, fractal, self-identifying calibration pattern, which provides a high density of calibration points for a large range of magnification factors. An evaluation on ground truth data shows that the target provides very high accuracy over a wide range of conditions.
Fractal Calibration Target
The size of the calibration markers also play a key role in the accuracy of the localization. If too few calibration points are available per view, then calibration quality suffers due to over fitting. However, if the calibration markers become too small, it becomes impossible to properly detect them. As the optimal size depends on the camera magnification, it is not possible to create a pattern with a single optimal density.
Our solution is the adoption of a fractal scheme which operates on multiple scales of calibration points. This scheme allows to use features which are within some fixed bound of the maximum calibration point density for the given magnification, please see Figure. 1. In addition the target is self-identifying and quite robust under a range of imaging conditions.

Model-based diagnosis typically uses analytical redundancy to compare predictions from a model against observations from the system being diagnosed. However this approach does not work very well when it is not feasible to create analytic relations describing all the observed data, e.g., for vibration data which is usually sampled at very high rates and requires very detailed finite element models to describe its behavior. In such cases, features (in time and frequency domains) that contain diagnostic information are extracted from the data. Since this is a computationally intensive process, it is not efficient to extract all the features all the time. In this paper we present an approach that combines the analytic model-based and feature-driven diagnosis approaches. The analytic approach is used to reduce the set of possible faults and then features are chosen to best distinguish among the remaining faults. We describe an implementation of this approach on the Flyable Electro-mechanical Actuator (FLEA) test bed.

Useful Tips
Dutch Oven Cooking
1. Fewer hot coals on the bottom, and more hot coals on top.
2. In all methods the coals need arranged toward the outer perimeter of both the bottom, as well as the lid to avoid burning. Rotating the Dutch Oven and lid at various times during the cooking process, also helps avoid hot spots and burning food.
3. +3 UP -3 DOWN Method
Once you use it a few times, and get it in your head, you won't have to carry any type of chart. In general this method produces 350° in any diameter size Dutch Oven. Knowing the Diameter of your pot; for example, if you have a normal depth 10 inch Dutch Oven, you simply add 3 to the diameter for the top (10+3=13 coals). You then subtract 3 from the diameter for the bottom (10-3=7 coals).
Rule of thumb for additional heat is; each additional coal added to the top only, will increase the internal temperature an additional 20 degrees.
Getting Latitude / Longitude from Google Maps

Child tax credits are hitting bank accounts: How far does the money go in Burlington?
April Barton
Burlington Free Press
View Comments
Some Vermont families have begun receiving a $3,600 child tax credit. Just how far does that money go in the Burlington area?
The average amount people in the Burlington-South Burlington area spend on monthly household bills (not including rent or mortgage) is $1,090, according to Doxo, a bill pay management app that compiled bill pay information for metro areas across the country. So, a full child tax credit for one kid could help Vermont families alleviate three months' worth of bills.
Put another way, if families were to put the money toward paying one bill in particular, it would cover nine months of utilities (average cost of $395), about two years of health insurance (average cost of $141), or about two and a half years of cable and internet bills (average cost of $118).
Households in the Burlington-South Burlington area pay 7.3% more than the national average for monthly bills, which amount to 18.9% of their household income.
Monthly child tax credits:Payments start Thursday. Here's what to know
How the expanded child tax credits work
Households could receive up to $3,600 per child 5 years old and younger and $3,000 per child 6 and older.
The full amounts of $3,600 or $3,000 are eligible to those who make $75,000 or less for single taxpayers and $150,000 or less for joint filers. The payment is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 of income above those limits. Payments are made monthly for six months and then families can claim the other half when filing their 2021 income tax return.
A family receiving the full $3,600 benefit for a 5-year-old would receive $300 a month for the next 6 months and claim the other $1,800 on their taxes. A family receiving the full $3,000 benefit for a 10-year-old would get $250 a month for that child for six months and then claim the remaining $1,500 while filing their 2021 taxes.

Kuchta Writer Wesleyan University, University of California, Berkeley David Kuchta, Ph.D. has 10 years of experience in gardening and has read widely in environmental history and the energy transition. An environmental activist since the 1970s, he is also a historian, author, gardener, and educator. Learn about our editorial process Updated September 17, 2021 Fact checked by Elizabeth MacLennan Fact checked by Elizabeth MacLennan University of Tennessee Elizabeth MacLennan is a fact checker and expert on climate change. Learn about our fact checking process Share Twitter Pinterest Email An electric vehicle has fewer moving parts and less need for lubricants than a gas-powered car. Nigel Treblin/Getty Images. Transportation Automotive Active Aviation Public Transportation No, electric cars do not use oil. Since they use electricity stored in batteries to rotate the car's motor, they do not use motor oil. One of the key benefits of owning an electric vehicle (EV) is that fewer moving parts mean lower maintenance costs. Electric Vehicle Maintenance EVs do require other lubricants with maintenance needs. It's best to refer to your owner's manual for proper scheduling of fluid maintenance. Transmission Fluid Most EVs have motors with only one gear, which can spin up from 0 to 10,000 RPMs, whereas a gas-powered car needs multiple gears to shift from lower to higher RPMs. EVs have transmission systems that require fluid maintenance, but because of the specialized fluids, drivers shouldn't try to replace them themselves. Battery Coolant The lithium-ion batteries in EVs need coolant to keep them from overheating and potentially catching fire. EV battery maintenance must be done by a dealer according to the vehicle's maintenance schedule. Tesla no longer recommends battery coolant replacement on its vehicles as it did on older models, while the Chevy Bolt has a recommended replacement rate of every 150,000 miles. Brake Fluid Like gas-powered cars, EVs have brake fluid (also known as hydraulic fluid). In an EV, however, the brakes are used less frequently because of regenerative braking. Regenerative braking reduces wear-and-tear on the brake pads, but not necessarily the need to replace brake fluid on a regular basis. For electric vehicles, the range is recommended brake fluid change is roughly the same as for gas-powered cars, with Tesla and Nissan recommending fluid changes every five years. Common Lubricants Windshield washer fluid replacement is the same in EVs and gas-powered cars and should be refilled regularly. This also applies to steering fluid (for vehicles with hydraulic power steering), air conditioning fluid, as well as grease for suspension systems, door locks, wheel bearings, and other small moving parts. The main fluid that distinguishes an EV from a gasoline-powered car is—you guessed it—gasoline, and it's here that cost savings are the greatest. Calculating the cost of the electricity needed to drive an electric vehicle can be complicated, compared to the cost of gasoline. Just as those costs can vary depending on the efficiency of gas-powered cars, the efficiency of electric vehicles varies from model to model. And like gasoline prices, electricity costs vary from state to state as well. But consider this statement from the U.S. Department of Energy: "The cost to run your [electric] car over the course of a year can be less than running an air conditioner." According to a 2020 study from Consumer Reports, electric vehicles "were estimated to save consumers about 60% on fuel costs compared with the average vehicle in their class." The study also points out that as vehicles age, those savings increase even more, as the efficiency of a gas-powered engine decreases more quickly than the efficiency of an electric motor. A five- to seven-year-old used EV saves an owner two to three times more in fuel costs than a comparable gas-powered vehicle. The study estimated that electric vehicle owners could save between $6,000 to $10,000 over the life of a vehicle. Frequently Asked Questions What fluids do electric cars require? EVs require coolant, brake fluid, and sometimes transmission fluid, but none need to be topped up as frequently as they would in a gas-powered car. How often does an EV need maintenance? Even though they don't require oil changes, EVs do need to be serviced regularly—about twice annually is recommended. Services should include tire rotations and pressure checks, windshield wiper replacements, and general battery checks. Are EVs cheap to maintain? EVs are a lot cheaper to maintain than gas-powered cars because they contain fewer parts. They don't even have engines or require oil to run.

R. To compute x's leader, just follow the bosses up to the leader. You are required to use this function any time you want to find the leader of a value.
 2. equivalent(R, x, y) returns true if x and y are currently in the same equivalence class in equivalence relation R. (They are in the same equivalence class if they have the same leader.)
 3. merge(R, x, y) merges the equivalence classes of x and y in R as follows. First, it finds the leaders xâ€² and yâ€² of x and y. If xâ€² and yâ€² are different (so x and y are not already in the same equivalence class) then yâ€² becomes the new boss of xâ€². (How can you changes xâ€²'s boss?) So yâ€² becomes the leader of the combined equivalence class.
 4. destroyER(R) deallocates R.
 5. showER(R, n) prints the entire contents of array R (of size n) in a readable form for debugging.
Important note. It is crucial that your program never change the boss of a value that is not a leader.

An explicit adaptive controller for the control of closed-circuit anesthesia (CCA) has been developed. This system controls the end-tidal oxygen and anesthetic gas concentrations as well as the circuit volume. The CCA process was modeled by writing mass balance equations. Simplifying assumptions yielded a bilinear single-input-single-output model for the anesthetic gas concentration and a bilinear multiple-input-multiple-output model for the circuit volume and oxygen concentration. One-step-ahead controllers were used to control these two subsystems. Simulations showed that the control performance was most sensitive to the gas uptakes. Three independent, least-mean-squares estimation schemes were implemented to estimate the uptakes of oxygen, nitrous oxide, and anesthetic gas. These estimates were used in the control law and resulted in explicit adaptive control. The performance of the adaptive controller was compared to that of a fixed controller (with precalculated gas uptakes) in five animal experiments. The adaptive controller performed better than the fixed controller in all cases.

This article is about monastic cells (living quarters).
The term cell applies to such a living space in a building, usually within a cenobitic monastery, which consists of rooms for each monk or nun, as well as a hermit's primitive solitary living space (possibly a cave, hut in the desert, deep forest, etc.) isolated from monasteries. In a cenobitic setting the building of "cells" also contains communal rooms for eating.
In 2005, the oldest physical example of living quarters for Christian monks was found by renovators who were repairing paintings in a fifteenth-century church at the site of the ancient Monastery of St. Anthony in Egypt, near the Red Sea. The monastery was founded in the mid-fourth century and is located about 100 miles southwest of Cairo, Egypt. These cells date from the fourth and fifth centuries. This archeological find is the first physical evidence that monks lived on the monastery site before the sixth century.

Andreas Samuel Krebs (10 March 1766 – 28 March 1818) was a Danish-Norwegian army officer.
Andreas Samuel Krebs
|Birth name||Andreas Samuel Krebs|
|Nickname(s)||The Hero from Lier and Matrand|
|Born||10 March 1766|
Tønder, Sønderjylland, Denmark
|Died||28 March 1818 (aged 52)|
Kingdom of Norway
|Years of service||1779–1818|
|Awards||Order of the Dannebrog|
Born on 10 March 1766 at Tønder in Sønderjylland, Krebs was the son of vicar Peter Ditlev Krebs and Birgitte Marie Lutz. Originally, he was to follow in his father's footsteps and study theology, but when he showed good understanding within mathematics and science, he got a desire for a career within the military.
In order to study and prepare for his officer exam, Krebs was sent to his uncle, Professor John Heinrich Krebs. After he passed his exam, he was accepted as a cadet in 1779 and later joined the Jäger Corps in Holstein as a second lieutenant. During the Theater War in 1788, Krebs was sent to Norway and took part in the advance against Bohuslän and the victory over the Swedes at Kvistrum bridge. After the war was over Krebs joined the Norwegian jäger corps, and married Else Thyrholm Gude on 12 February 1798. In 1806 he was also promoted to major.
When war once again broke out between Denmark–Norway and Sweden from 1808 to 1809, Krebs was put in direct command over the jäger corps. During the war, he distinguished himself during skirmishes at Høland, Rødenes and Berby, and was for his efforts awarded with the Order of the Dannebrog. After the war, Krebs was appointed interim commander at Kongsvinger Fortress, while he became regimental commander of the newly formed Akershus sharpshooter regiment, where he advanced to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
During the Swedish campaign against Norway in 1814, Krebs was appointed head of a division in the district around Kongsvinger. Here he successfully led the defense of Lier entrenchment, and the counter-attack that drove the Swedes back across the border at Matrand. The Norwegian victories at Lier and Matrand strengthened the morale among the Norwegian population and King Christian Frederik was sure that the fortunes of war had turned in favor of Norwegians. Although the war ended with a Swedish victory after the Convention of Moss, Krebs was hailed as the "hero from Lier and Matrand", and was considered to have saved Norway's pride in an otherwise despondently campaign. After the union between Norway and Sweden was signed, Krebs was promoted to colonel and became adjutant to Charles XIII in 1816. In 1818 Krebs was appointed commander of the 1st Akershus Brigade, but died the same year.
Krebs' street (Norwegian: Krebs' gate) in Oslo was named after him in 1874, the same time as he has streets named after him in Kongsvinger and Skotterud.
In 1879 a memorial to Andreas Samuel Krebs was unveiled at Christ Cemetery in Oslo. On every 17 May (Norwegian Constitution Day) a garland is laid on the memorial by Hans Majestet Kongens Garde. This is one of the few 17 May events in the capital that has directly to do with the events that took place in 1814.

Pataka Museum is about to open another exciting show on 13 November 2011. The exhibition, called Germany and Samoa – Old Ties and New Relationships, investigates the impact and legacy of the profoundly significant historical relationship between Germany and Samoa from 1900 – 1914. The exhibition will feature photos, artefacts, and information collected and curated by Professor Hermann Hiery, a leading expert on the colonial era in the Pacific. It is co-curated by Helen Kedgley at Pataka, and this is the first ever exhibition of its kind in the world. The exhibition will run alongside a showcase of paintings and sculptures by renowned Pacific artist Michael Tuffery.
Part of Germany and Samoa – Old Ties and New Relationships, will be several significant objects from Te Papa.
This sextant (navigational instrument), for example, was made in 1917 by German merchant marine cadet, Walter von Zatorski. At the time, he was interned as a prisoner of war on Motuihe Island in the Hauraki Gulf, about 11 kilometres northeast of Auckland. He had been captured when New Zealand forces took the Pacific Island of German Samoa (now the Independent State of Samoa) during World War I (1914 – 1918).
The sextant and its case are totally improvised. They were made using the fuel tank from a Primus stove and the brass hinges from a rudder that had washed ashore. The adjusting screw came from the handle of a safety razor. Von Zatorski ordered tools and solder through the camp canteen to assemble the instrument.
In December 1917, von Zatorski's sextant was put to use when a party of prisoners, lead by Count Felix von Luckner ('Sea Wolf'), escaped from Motuihe and captured the scow Moa. Using von Zatorski's handmade instrument and a map copied from a school atlas, the men navigated an accurate course to the Kermadec Islands – around 1000 kilometres northeast of New Zealand – before they were recaptured.
You will be able to visit the exhibition at Pataka Museum until 19 February 2012.


How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (2024)
This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information
Redstone clocks are arguably the most useful contraption you can make for any large-scale redstone machine. Redstone clocks are generally pretty easy to build and implement into any of your contraptions, and are also very easy to scale, so you can make them as big or as small as you want and change the timing to suit your needs. Here are some of the easiest redstone clocks you can make in Minecraft.
Hopper Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (1)
Out of all of the clocks on this list, this one is complex and expensive to build. It also grants you the most control over your timings. The main feature of this clock is that it is tileable and gives you a lot of control over your timings. You can place as many of these as you like into your build and set each one to fire at a different time.
The timing of this clock is controlled by the items you place into the hoppers. Each item creates a delay of 0.4 seconds. So if you want your machine to go off every minute, you need to put 150 items into the hoppers.
To build this clock, you will need the following:
 - 2 Comparators
 - 2 Sticky pistons
 - 1 Redstone block
 - 4 Redstone torches
 - 4 Blocks of wool or iron
 - 2 Hoppers
Instructions
 1. Place 2 hoppers facing each other. This way they are constantly passing their items between one another.
 2. Place a redstone block on top of the hoppers, then place the sticky pistons so they will move the block back and forth on top of the hoppers.
 3. Place the comparators next to each hopper, so they are triggered by the items running through the hoppers.
 4. Place a block next behind the comparator and place a redstone torch on the opposite side. Then place a block on top of the torch, and put another torch facing your pistons.
 5. Finally, fill the hoppers with as many items as you need. You can then connect the redstone block or torches to other machines as needed.
Repeater Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (2)
This is probably the most well-known and most popular clock used in redstone development. It is also the cheapest of all the clocks on this list, but it can also potentially cause the most lag if you are on a server and continue scaling or tiling it. You can control the timing for this clock, but it is a bit more difficult than using a hopper clock or minecart clock.
To make this clock you will need the following:
 - 4 Redstone dust
 - 2-4 Repeaters
 - 1 Redstone torch
Making this clock is fairly easy. Alternate your repeaters and redstone dust until you have a circuit. The signal will constantly circulate through the circuit until you break it or something causes it to stop.
After you have your circuit created, you will need to place a redstone torch next to one of the pieces of redstone dust. Break the torch as soon as you place it. You just want the signal to start; you do not want it to make it all the way through the circuit. If you are fast enough, the signal will circle around the circuit you have made constantly. You can also increase the size of the circuit and add more repeaters to increase the time it takes to activate.
After you have the clock up and running, you can connect any other machine you like by just adding a line of redstone dust or repeaters that connect to it.
Minecart Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (3)
The best and worst feature of this clock is that it is easily scalable. As long as you have the materials to make more rails or minecarts, you can scale it up indefinitely. The downside to this scalability is that this clock takes up a lot more space than any other on this list, but it is fairly easy to use if you are new to redstone.
To build this clock you will need the following:
 - At least 1 activator rail
 - At least 1 minecart
 - Powered rails
 - Redstone torches
 - Redstone dust
 - Normal minecart rails
To make this clock, all you need to do is create a circle of rails for a minecart to travel over. Place an activator rail where you would like the redstone signal to be triggered. You can place multiple activator rails to trigger multiple machines if you like. Place the powered rails with redstone torches next to them to make sure the cart always has plenty of speed.
Observer Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (4)
This is probably the easiest redstone clock to make, though it does have some drawbacks. This clock will tick constantly, which can be a bit annoying to your friends or members of your server and can cause a little lag if you use too many. If you need something to be constantly firing, this clock is a quick and easy fix.
All you need to create this clock is a pair of observers.
Place two observers facing each other, and they will start constantly ticking each other. You can connect any redstone device to the back of these observers to trigger it.

A rusted grill may seem incapable of cooking food, but with a little elbow grease, you can clean it up and have a functional grill in no time. If the grill is highly rusted, it may be necessary to replace it. Nevertheless, if it's only a bit rusted, you should be able to clean it up and get it running again.
- Begin by removing any loose rust from the grill using a wire brush.
- Then, make a one-part vinegar-to-one-part-water solution and use it to clean the grill.
- Clean and dry the grill with clean water.
- It is now time to oil the grill.
- Apply a little coating of vegetable oil to the whole surface of the grill using a paper towel.
- Prepare the grill for 10-15 minutes on medium heat before cooking.

How to treat a rusty grill
Don't give up if your grill has begun to rust! There are a few simple ways to restore a rusted grill to its former glory.
Using a wire brush to remove rust from the surface of the grill is one method of treating rust.
You don't want to spread the rust everywhere, so make sure you remove all of it before you start cleaning.
When the rust has been removed, apply a rust-resistant coating to the grill. This will assist to keep the rust from reappearing.
A vinegar and water solution is another option for treating a rusted grill. Just combine equal parts vinegar and water and apply with a cloth to the grill. Let a few minutes for the solution to rest before wiping it away.
If your grill is really rusted, you may need to sand the surface before applying a rust-resistant coating. Be careful to use a fine-grit sandpaper to avoid damaging the grill's surface.
After you've removed the rust, thoroughly clean the grill before using it.
This will aid in the removal of any remaining rust-resistant coating or vinegar solution.
With a little time and work, you can restore your rusted grill to its former glory!
Is it ok to cook on a rusty griddle
If you're wondering if you can cook on a rusted griddle, the short answer is yes! Although not ideal, cooking on a rusted griddle is entirely acceptable. Just be sure to clean it well before you begin cooking to eliminate any stray rust particles.
If your griddle is significantly rusty, it's probably time to replace it. But don't panic if it's just beginning to show symptoms of wear; you may still use it for cooking.
Can you cook on rusty cast iron
There is much disagreement over whether you can cook on rusted cast iron. Others believe that's acceptable as long as you season it appropriately. Some claim that it is not safe to cook on.
It is critical to season rusty cast iron before cooking with it. This entails sprinkling it with oil and baking it in the oven. This will provide a barrier between the food and the rust, preventing it from seeping into the meal.
Rusted cast iron may be used for cooking, but it must first be seasoned. This will provide a barrier between the food and the rust, preventing it from seeping into the meal.
Rusty grill grates
Don't be discouraged if your barbecue grates are beginning to rust. There are a few simple techniques to clean them and restore them to their former splendor.
A wire brush may be used to remove rust off barbecue grates.
This will need some elbow grease, but it is the most effective method for removing rust. A vinegar and water solution is another method for removing rust. Soak a towel in the solution and scrape the rust off the grates.
If your grill grates are severely rusted, they may need to be replaced. But first, try one of these methods to see if you can clean them up and extend their useful life!
Can you cook on a rusty grill
Cooking on a rusted grill is not recommended. Rust can contaminate food and cause gastrointestinal problems.
How do you clean a rusty grill
Don't be discouraged if your grill is beginning to rust. You can restore it to new condition with a little elbow work and the correct cleansers. How to Clean a Rusted Grill
1. Remove the grill grates and any other detachable elements first. Soak them for around 30 minutes in a mix of hot water and dish soap.
2. Scrub the interior of the grill with a wire brush while the grates soak.
Be careful to dig into all of the nooks and crannies!
3. Thoroughly rinse the grill with a hose and then dry it with a clean towel.
4. It's now time to attack the rust.
There are many approaches you may take. You may use rust-removal spray, white vinegar, or even Coca-Cola to remove the rust!
5. After the rust has been removed, carefully clean and dry the grill.
6. Replace the grill grates and other components, and you're ready to cook!
Cleaning a rusted grill might be time-consuming, but it is well worth the effort. With a little elbow grease, you'll have a grill that looks brand new.
What are the best ways to prevent rust on a grill
If you're referring to a BBQ grill, the best methods to avoid rust are to clean it on a regular basis, fully dry it after cleaning, and apply an oil coating before storage.
If you live in a humid climate, you might consider keeping your grill in a covered place.
If your grill is starting to rust, you may be wondering if it is still safe to use. The good news is that you can still use a rusted grill, but there are a few things to consider. Then, use a wire brush to scrape the rust off the grill grates before cooking.
This will help to keep the rust from getting into your food. Second, cook at a lower temperature than normal to prevent harming the grill grates. Finally, inspect the grill on a regular basis and reapply a layer of paint or sealant as needed to prevent rust from returning.
Is it safe to cook on a rusted grill?
A grill with loose rust is unsafe because it may stick to the food; however, a grate with minor surface rust can be cleaned and treated to be used again. While ingesting rust in one meal is unlikely to cause harm, continuous ingestion may be harmful to the intestinal tract.
How do you get rust off grill grates?
Rust Remover Made with Vinegar and Salt
In a spray bottle, combine 2 parts vinegar and 1 part salt. Cover the grates completely with the vinegar solution and place them in an old plastic bag overnight. After soaking the grill grates overnight, wipe them off with an old towel to remove any rust residue.
Will rust on a grill burn off?
The best approach for removing basic surface rust is to heat the barbeque and then clean it with ammonia. After starting a fire and letting it burn for approximately 30 minutes, extinguish it and allow the unit to cool until it is warm but not too hot to handle.
Why is my grill so rusty?
Keeping cooked fat and trash off the surface of your grill helps the Chromium to perform its job of preventing rust. One of the most crucial distinctions to make is that grease and oil are not the same thing. Rust is caused by grease; oiling your grill grates prevents rust. removing food particles
Can WD 40 remove rust from a grill?
Remove the rack and WD-40® Specialist® Cleaner & Degreaser any filth. After a few minutes, take a wire brush and scrub clean. Use WD-40® Specialist® Rust Remover Soak for larger applications, particularly on metal grills and grill equipment that can be readily soaked.
Will Dawn clean grill grates?
Dawn® aids in the breakdown of stuck-on food, oil, and filth, allowing you to spend less time cleaning and more time with your family. When your grates have sat for a while, give them a brisk clean using a bristle-free or stiff nylon grill brush.
How often should you replace your grill?
Every three years, the typical American changes their grill. Routine maintenance and prompt repairs, on the other hand, may greatly increase that lifetime. According to Business Insider, adequate cleaning and upkeep may maintain a gas barbecue in good working order for 5 to 15 years.

text: The present challenge with all-oxide thermoelectric modules is their poor durability at high temperatures caused by the instability of the metal-oxide interfaces at the hot side. This work explains a new module concept based on a hybrid p-n junction, fabricated in one step by spark plasma co-sintering of Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (CCO, p-type) and CaMnO3-δ/CaMn2O4 (CMO, n-type). Different module (unicouple) designs were studied to obtain a thorough understanding of the role of the in situ formed hybrid p-n junction of Ca3CoMnO6 (CCMO, p-type) and Co-oxide rich phases (p-type) at the p-n junction (>700 °C) in the module performance. A time-enhanced performance of the modules attributed to this p-n junction formation was observed due to the unique electrical properties of the hybrid p-n junction being sufficiently conductive at high temperatures (>700 °C) and nonconductive at moderate and low temperatures. The alteration of module design resulted in a variation of the power density from 12.4 (3.1) to 28.9 mW/cm2 (7.2 mW) at ΔT ∼ 650 °C after 2 days of isothermal hold (900 °C hot side). This new concept provides a facile method for the fabrication of easily processable, cheap, and high-performance high-temperature modules.

Feature to generate Config File in PSLab Android application
In this blog, I will explain the feature to generate "Config File" in PSLab Android Application
What is a Config File?
The main aim of this feature is to make PSLab board a self data logger, which would read user-defined configs from a config file stored on SD card connected to PSLab board and based on instrument, parameters and time interval stored in config file PSLab board would automatically log those values.
Now as the first step of this feature, an option is added to PSLab Android application, where user can create a config file. User can select an instrument, parameters associated with that instrument and time interval. With this feature, user can easily generate a config file which can later be used by PSLab board for logging.
User Interface
The option to generate a config file is given in the side navigation menu on the main screen.
(Figure 1: Generate Config file menu)
Once the user selects the "Generate Config File" option, the user will be directed to the following screen where user can create a config file with intended parameters
(Figure 2: Generate Config File UI)
As can be seen in the screenshot above the user can select instruments for which the config file needs to be created from a drop-down menu. User can specify the time interval, for which the data should be logged by the PSLab board. Based on the instrument selected by the user corresponding parameters will be shown at the bottom. User can select whichever parameters are required and click on "CREATE CONFIG FILE" button and a config file will be saved on device local storage.
A config file for Oscilloscope with 25-sec interval and CH1, CH2 and CH3 parameters would look something like below,
(Figure 3: Sample config File )
When a user clicks on Create Config File button, First we check whether the user has provided a time interval, if not a toast message appears to let the user know that time interval is missing. This is done using the following lines of code,
createConfigFileBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View v) {
 interval = intervalEditText.getText().toString();
 if (interval.length() == 0) {
 Toast.makeText(CreateConfigActivity.this, getResources().getString(R.string.no_interval_message), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Once the user sets the time interval and selects the parameters, the following lines of code generates a string array containing params selected by the user.
ArrayList selectedParamsList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < paramsListContainer.getChildCount(); i ++) {
 CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) paramsListContainer.getChildAt(i);
 if (checkBox.isChecked()) {
After we have the list of selected parameters we call the following function to create the config file
private void createConfigFile(ArrayList params) {
 String instrumentName = instrumentsList.get(selectedItem);
 String fileName = "pslab_config.txt";
 String basepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
 File baseDirectory = new File(basepath + File.separator + CSVLogger.CSV_DIRECTORY);
 if (!baseDirectory.exists()) {
 try {
 } catch (Exception e) {
 File configFile = new File(basepath + File.separator + CSVLogger.CSV_DIRECTORY + File.separator + fileName);
 if (!configFile.exists()) {
 try {
 } catch (IOException e) {
 try {
 FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(configFile);
 writer.write("instrument: " + instrumentName + "\n");
 writer.write("interval: " + interval + " " + intervalUnit + "\n");
 String param = String.join(",", params);
 writer.write("params: " + param);
 CustomSnackBar.showSnackBar(rootView, getString(R.string.file_created_success_message), null, null, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
 } catch (IOException e) {
 CustomSnackBar.showSnackBar(rootView, getString(R.string.file_created_fail_message), null, null, Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT);
In the first part of this function, we check whether there exists a PSLab directory in the local storage of the device, if not the directory is created. After that, we create a file named "pslab_config.txt". After that, we use FileWriter to write data to the file.
In a nutshell with this feature user can create config files easily. The following GIF demonstrated this functionality.

Gas sensor (MQ-135) support In PSLab Android application
Along with lots of sensors provided in the PSLab Android application, recently support for a new sensor – MQ-135 gas sensor has been added to the app. In this blog, I will discuss what is this gas sensor and how to use it with PSLab Android application
MQ-135 Gas sensor
The MQ-135 gas sensors are used in air quality control equipment and are suitable for detecting or measuring of NH3, NOx, Alcohol, Benzene, Smoke, CO2.
The Pin layout of MQ-135 sensor
(Figure 1: MQ-135 pin layout)
How to Connect MQ-135 to PSLab Board
The following diagram shows how a user can connect MQ-135 sensor to a PSLab Board.
(Figure 2: MQ-135 and PSLab connections)
As can be seen in the diagram above connect Voltage pin of MQ-135 sensor to one of the VDD pins on the PSLab board. Connect the Ground pin of MQ-135 sensor to one of GND pins on the PSLab board. And connect Analog Output pin to CH1 pin on the PSLab board. Once these connections are made user can connect PSLab board to their mobile phone and start reading data using Gas Sensor instrument in PSLab Android application
Gas Sensor Instrument in PSLab Android Application
To provide users an interface to read values collected by MQ-135 sensor connected to PSLAb board, a new instrument screen has been added to the PSLab Android application. The UI of the screen is shown below,
(Figure 3: Gas Sensor instrument UI)
As can be seen, the user is provided with a circular meter, a text box and a graph, all of which indicates the amount of different gases sensed by MQ-135 in PPM (parts per million) unit. The data is collected by very simple lines of codes. Since we are connecting Analog Output of MQ-135 to CH1 on PSLab board, we need to read the voltage at CH1 pin. Which would be in the range of 0 – input voltage (which is 3.3V in our case). To convert the voltage values to PPM, we map these output voltages to a range of 0 – 1024. This is done by following lines of code.
double volt = scienceLab.getVoltage("CH1", 1);
double ppmValue = (volt / 3.3) * 1024.0;
As provided in all the other instruments in PSLab Android application, Gas Sensor also has data logging and importing feature. User can record the data and store it as a CSV file and import previously recorded data into the PSLab application easily.
So in conclusion, now users can utilize and experiment with MQ-135 sensor effortlessly using PSLab Android application.
A working demo of this feature can be seen in the following video

Two flavors of PSLab Android App to support Google Maps (in Play Store flavor) and Open Street maps (in Fdroid flavor)
What are the flavors of an App? And why are they needed in PSLab Android App?
While working on the PSLab Android Project, I ran into the need to create different variants of the app with different dependencies. In this blog, I have tried to explain the process of creating various flavors of the app in the easiest way possible.
Android Allows Developers to create different variants of the same app with the same code base but having some functionalities different across the variants. These functionalities may include some special/pro features, some different dependencies, etc. Such variants are called flavors of the App. Most common flavors are Paid and Free version of the app.
In the PSLab Android Application, we needed to generate flavors, when we required to use Google Maps in the App. The app is also published on the Fdroid, which doesn't allow dependencies of Google Maps. Hence 2 flavors of the app have been created,
 1. Play Store Flavor (With Google Maps)
 2. F-Droid Flavor (With Open Street Maps)
Declaring Flavors in the build.gradle File
In order to create flavors of the app, first, we need to declare flavors in the Gradle file. In PSLab Android app we are creating 2 flavors, which are declared in the build.gradle file as under
flavorDimensions 'default'
productFlavors {
 fdroid {
 dimension = 'default'
 playstore {
 dimension = 'default'
flavorDimensions is used to package flavors if there are many flavors for an App. Since we have only two flavors fdroid and playstore, hence we are using single dimension default for both the flavors. Once this has been added to the build.gradle file we need to sync the gradle.
After the Sync is complete, if we open


text: This paper focuses on heritage conservation as it relates to, and intersects with, the realm of municipal finance. The thesis builds a case that municipal Heritage Property Tax Relief Programs (HPTRP's) in Ontario, as they currently exist, do not work as they were designed. HPTRP's are aimed at incentivizing heritage designation by offering a financial benefit to property owners, yet in their current configuration, result in additional costs that reduce their effectiveness. The ideal solution would be for the Province to review and redesign the program; however, this is unlikely. A practical solution, which is proposed in this paper, is for municipalities to create a Community Improvement Program (CIP) tool that off-sets some of the unforeseen costs associated with HPTRP's. The two programs have a history of working synergistically at the local level – and together can accomplish what HPTRP's were intended to achieve unilaterally.

Flying drones is an exciting and immersive experience, especially when maneuvering through trees and capturing amazing views. However, if you are a beginner, you might be hesitant about flying your drone near trees, more so if you ever noticed some loss of drone signal when flying your drone through or around them. This brings us to our question: Do trees block drone signals?
Trees can interfere with the signal between the drone and remote controller and even block it. However, you can avoid this issue by correctly calibrating your drone compass or flying your drone higher. This will ensure that the transmission of signals between your drone and its remote controller is not blocked.
How trees block drone signals
It's actually the high water content of trees that causes a reflection and absorption of radio signals. This is seen in the trunks, leaves, and branches, although you will notice signal interference more during the spring and summer seasons when the foliage is at its height.
During fall and winter when trees shed their leaves, the water content and thus the radio signal interference is minimized.
Trees can cause signal disruption in a number of other ways as well. See the discussion below to learn how trees and other types of obstacles can interfere with your drone's radio signal.
What causes interference with drone signals?
Several factors cause the signal of your drone to degrade. Here is a discussion of some of them.
This is an occurrence that takes place when the electromagnetic waves of your drone signal encounter an obstacle. The obstacle can cause a split of the waves, causing them to continuously spread in different directions. The obstacle can be trees, buildings, or a wall.
When this happens, the diffracted signals begin to bend around the obstacle. In most cases, rounded objects cause more signal loss than sharp ones.
This occurs when a signal bounces back towards its source after encountering an obstacle. Most drone signals are subjected to reflection to some degree, and this will cause them to be lost temporarily.
An excellent example of signal reflection is when your aircraft receives signals that do not come directly from a remote controller but instead from a signal that is bouncing off a tree. Some of the signal will reflect towards the remote controller, and as a result, there will be an interference between the drone's and controller's communication. At worst, this can cause the aircraft to crash land or at best cause a temporary loss of signal.
In this scenario, a wireless signal is diffused or spread apart after encountering the surface of an uneven object. The primary signal dissipates into double reflection signals once it strikes the rough surface.
Scattering causes a substantial degradation or even complete loss of signal. Some elements that are likely to cause your drone's signal to disperse include smoke, dust, tiny water drops, or plant leaves.
The signals of your drone have to navigate through the atmosphere. Therefore, the farther they travel, the more they will lose their strength. This is why it is critical to ensure that your drone doesn't fly past the recommended range of operation.
Your drone's signal is likely to be affected by anything that has a communication frequency of 2.4 GHz. However, the strength of the aircraft's signal can also be affected by other factors, including the smart controller's transmission distance.
This is a reduction of your drone's signal strength once it passes through an object that has no radio signal transparency. Absorption might cause you to lose control of your drone so long as the object remains in between your drone and controller.
This is another factor that dramatically affects drone signals. In this case, the radio signals that are reflected split and get to the receiver through several different paths. In some cases, there might be an interference between the path and the main signal, thus causing a downgrade of the drone's signal.
How to prevent drone signal blocking?
You can easily minimize magnetic interference by calibrating your drone's compass. However, make sure you are at a distance from any magnetic field for best results.
Also, avoid calibrating your aircraft near a dense forest or a building. It's best to do the compass calibration in a place that's isolated or empty.
Here are some other ways you can prevent drone signal blocking.
Don't take off or land on magnetic surfaces
Drone signal interference can cause issues when your drone is landing or taking off. For this reason, you should fly your drone in areas with low magnetic interference. Some of the surfaces your drone should not land or take off from include wet wood, concrete, or places with metal pipes buried underground.
Additionally, make sure to fly your drone at least a distance of 90 yards (80 meters) from power lines with high voltage.
If you are having a hard time finding a perfect spot, consider using a drone pad to quickly launch your aircraft while it remains portable and compact.
Check your MOCA to set the correct RTH altitude
MOCA stands for Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude. It is used to identify the tallest buildings in your area. Your observation should go beyond construction equipment.
Once you establish your MOCA, you should set your Return to Home Altitude above the MOCA. This will prevent crashing your drone when it's flying back.
Avoid flying your drone in GPS mode between tall buildings
Tall buildings are great contributors to drone signal interference. Flying your drone in GPS mode between tall buildings is likely to cause signal loss. The signal will reflect on the tall buildings, resulting in a degraded signal. In this case, the drone has a high chance of flying into a building.
Set the drone to hover in case of signal loss
When flying your drone around trees, you should anticipate possible signal loss. So in case it happens, you should adjust the settings of your drone to land at a particular spot, hover it in an area, or automatically return home using the RTH feature.
However, even though flying the drone home using the RTH is usually the best idea, it depends on the GPS reception quality. A good GPS signal might be challenging in areas with many trees or tall structures because your drone might lose orientation and fly in the wrong direction.
Setting your drone to hover will prevent such an incident from happening since it will pause and hover in place, and you can move yourself to restore the signal. This will give you a chance to reconnect with your drone and prevent a flyaway or crash.
Trees block drone signals due to water content. When combined with the presence of trunks, leaves, and branches, this issue causes a reflection of and absorption of radio signals. Winter is the only season that trees pose little risk of signal disturbance because there is no foliage to block your drone's signal.

Simulation of deformable solids in interactive virtual reality applications

Journal: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology, VRST
Simulation of deformable objects has become indispensable in many virtual reality applications. Linear finite element algorithms are frequently applied in interactive physics simulation in order to ensure computational efficiency. However, there exists a variety of situations in which higher order simulation accuracy is expected to improve physical behaviors of deformable objects to match their real-world counterparts. For example in the context of virtual surgery, interactive surgical manipulations mandate algorithmic requirements to maintain both interactive frame rates and simulation accuracy, presenting major challenges in simulation methods. In this paper, we present an interactive system for efficient finite element based simulation of hyperplastic solids with more accurate physics behaviors compared with that of standard corotational methods. Our approach begins with a physics model to mitigate drawbacks of the corotational linear elasticity in preserving energy and momenta. A new damping model is presented which takes into account the differential of rotation to compensate the loss of momenta due to rotations. Thus, more accurate simulations can be achieved with this new model, whereas standard corotational methods using rotated damping to handle energy dissipation does not preserve momenta. We then present a real time simulation framework for computing finite element based deformable solids with full capability allowing complex objects to collide and interact with each other. A constrained system is also provided for robust control and the ease of use the simulation system. We demonstrate the parallel implementation to enable realistic and stable physics behaviors of large deformations capable of handling unpredictable user inputs in interactive virtual environments. The implementation details and insights on practical considerations in implementation such as our experience in parallel computation of the physics for mesh-based finite element objects would be useful for people who wish to develop real-time applications in this area.

(IBList user synopsis):
Shaw originally gave Misalliance the subtitle, "A Debate in One Sitting." It is set in the Surrey home of the Tarleton family, who over the course of one spring day in 1909 are visited by daughter Hypatia's fiancee and his father, a daredevil aviator, a headstrong young Polish woman, and an intruder. Everyone has something to say about courtship, marriage, the sexes, and social conventions... and say it they do in an interminably talky play that showcases what has become known as Shavian wit. Although Misalliance was one of Shaw's flops, its social criticism takes aim at many of the same targets of his better-known works.

How To Measure Arrow Length
When I first got into archery, I did some initial research and knew about the different bows sizes but does the length of the arrow really matter? Surely an arrow is an arrow, right? You just nock it into the bow and shoot? Nope, there is a lot more to it than that!
Don't worry though, it's not as complicated as it might sound. The aim of this guide is to help show you what Arrow Length is, why it's important and how to learn what length of arrows you should use.
It's very important that you need to understand is that not all arrows are the same. The arrows that people use are based on their needs and their size, they are measure to them. It is, therefore, a really bad idea to shoot with someone else arrows, as they won't be suitable for you.
Arrow Length Vs Arrow Size
The first thing to understand is that the length and the size are two completely different things.
 - The length of the arrow refers to the overall length of the shaft
 - Arrow size is referring to the spine and how stiff the arrow is. It is used to determine the thickness of the shaft and how much you are able to flex it before the arrow bends.
 - Arrow Length Is Important For Your Safety
 - No doubt you can figure out that the arrow is the most dangerous part of archery, injuries can come from arrows before they have even left the bow. When you draw the bowstring back with the arrow attached, if the arrow is too short it could result in it falling off the rest.
But why is that so bad?
If the arrow falls off the rest at the point of shooting, the risk is that it could shoot straight into the hand holding the bow grip…Ouch, that is going to hurt!
This kind of injury will cause lasting impacts on not just your archery but will also impact all aspects of your life. Luckily, if you do measure your arrow length correctly, this shouldn't happen!
The arrow should be big enough that even when at full draw, the arrow tip should still be slightly past the riser.
How To Measure Correct Arrow Length
There are three methods that can be done to determine what length of arrow you need, two of these can be done on your own whereas the other you will need someone to help. You will also need a tape measure and something to mark such as a Sharpie.
There are also a couple of things you need to ensure before starting;
 - Ensure Correct Posture
 - In order to get the correct measurements, you need to imagine you are standing at the target and ready to draw your bow. Its therefore very important that when taking measurements, you have the correct posture and stance.
 - Correct Drawing of the Bow
 - As well as posture, you need to pretend that you are actually drawing a bow. If you do have a bow then you could actually draw it with an arrow being nocked. (but don't let go of the bowstring!)
 Make sure the hand you hold the bow with is stretched our and your drawing hand is at the anchor point. You need to it be as exact and correct as possible to keep your shoulders up and in a straight line.
For advice on learning about drawing a bow, check out my how to shoot a bow guide
How To Measure Arrow Length – The 3 Best Methods
1. Measuring Your Arm
This method can be done alone if you do not have someone to help, although you will need a tape measure. Hold the tape measure with the hand that you would usually hold your bow with. With your drawing hand pull on the metal part of the tape measure and stretch out the tape until it reaches your anchor point.
With your hand that's holding the tape measure, flip the switch that locks it in position. Look at the measurement and add an additional 1 inch, this would be your arrow length.
If you do have someone that can help measure then stretch your arms out in front of you and extend your fingers with your palms together. If your friend then measures from your chest to your fingertips and adds an additional 1 inch, you will find the correct length for your arrows.
2. Measuring Your Draw
This second method you will need someone to help, as well as a measuring tape and a bow for you to hold. To determine the arrow length you simply need to hold up the bow and draw the bowstring back to your chosen anchor point, your friend will then need to measure from the string to the front of the riser. Once they have this measurement, they will then want to add an extra half an inch.
3. Using A Draw Arrow
A draw arrow is an arrow that has all of the different measurements on it, therefore when you draw it back you can ask someone to tell you're the measurement. Another method of doing this would be to use an extra long arrow and go to full draw and ask someone to mark it with a pen and then measure the distance. Proper draw arrows are however pretty low cost and a little more exact, you can often find them on Amazon.
I hope this article will show you just how important it is to get the right length of arrows. By following one of the above 3 methods you should have the right arrow length and be able to fully draw your bow, without any risk of injury.
Adam has been enjoying the sport of archery since 2010, intially getting the bug for it whilst on holiday and trying it out in an activity center. Since his very first eperiance of holding a bow and arrow, he fell in love with it and can now be found at the range or in the great outdoors as often as possible.
His main go to bow type is a recurve but he loves shooting from compounds as well. Adam created The Archery Guide as a way to help others get into this great activity and to share his knowledge/experiences.

Preferences, Practices, and Virtues: An Ethical Reflection on the Universal Apostolic Preferences
The Society of Jesus has promulgated the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAPs) for the decade 2019-29. We know what the UAPs are: to seek God, walk with the poor, accompany youth, and collaborate in the care of the earth. And we know what they are for: the ongoing conversion of persons and institutions in their commitment to the mission of reconciliation of justice. But what, exactly, is a "preference" anyhow? In this reflection, I draw on the moral tradition of virtue ethics to argue that the preferences are best understood as "practices" or, in other words, as the fundamental actions by which crucial virtues like mercy and justice are developed in persons and in institutions. I also argue that seeing the preferences as practices in the context of virtue ethics opens up fruitful possibilities for fostering engagement with the UAPs at Jesuit institutions of higher education.

The conservation of Pilgrim's Rest as a cultural and historic asset began in 1974 when the provincial government purchased the village. In 1986 the village of Pilgrim's Rest and the farm Ponieskrantz, on which the village is situated, was declared a National Monument. Today a dedicated group of historians and interest groups continue to work towards the further restoration of the village to increasingly provide a better insight into the history of the area. The village is divided into two distinct areas - Up Town and Down Town. The Pilgrim's Rest Information Office and the Ticket Office in the Up Town sector offer tourist information and guided tours to three museums; the Diggings, the Reduction Works and Allanglade House.
DREDZEN SHOP AND HOUSE MUSEUM
The devaluation of the British pound in 1932 caused a sharp rise in the gold price which stimulated the economic growth of the village and the area. Apart from the usual butcheries, bakeries and blacksmiths, in the 1930's there were 16 general dealer stores located in Pilgrim's Rest. In the 1940's mine production dropped sharply which had a serious effect on the village community and many establishments were forced to close. The Dredzen Shop Museum is representative of the typical general dealer of the period 1930 to 1950. The articles displayed are a selection taken from a 20 year period and were not therefore, all available throughout that period. It is, however, interesting to note how little some of the goods and packaging have changed through the years. The home and life style of the post Second World War era has been reconstructed in the store owner's residence, adjoining the shop. Articles and furniture on display represent a typical middle class home of the period in Pilgrim's Rest. The house museums of Pilgrim's Rest portray the development of interiors at other village sites: The House Museum (1900 - 1915), Allanglade (1915 - 1930) and the Dredzen House Museum (1930 - 1950)
THE HOUSE MUSEUM
The House Museum is a fine example of wood and corrugated iron architecture which is typical of Pilgrim's Rest. The house was built in 1913 for a dr. W. Secomb. During the 1930's the house was occupied by Mr. Blaine, a lawyer. In 1976 the house was restored and furnished to characterise a middle class home of the early 20th century. The museum emphasises late Victorian styles in the decor and furnishings. In the living room are two upholstered chairs, without arm rests, specifically designed to accommodate ladies with wide Victorian skirts. The use of linoleum on the floors and the numerous pictures and embroidered verses on the walls are typical of this period. Flagged stone pathways and rectangular flower beds are prominent elements found in a Victorian garden. The Dutch oven at the back of the house was used daily for baking bread. The characteristic ornateness of this era is moderately expressed in the house and garden, bearing in mind the rural nature of the surroundings.
THE PRINTING MUSEUM
The first locally printed newspaper circulated on the Pilgrim's Rest gold fields was the GOLD NEWS of 24 January 1874. Shortly thereafter it was published by an Irishman, W. J. Phelan who became the new editor. Phelan changed the newspaper's name to GOLDFIELDS MERCURY. In 1910 the first PILGRIM'S REST AND SABIE NEWS was published with T. W. S. Craig as the editor. It was published every Saturday at a cost of sixpence, or one pound for a one year subscription. In 1911 Craig suspended publication of the newspaper until later in the same year when the new editor, A.W. Frost, revived the newspaper. The original premises of the PILGRIM'S AND SABIE NEWS, situated between the present building and the Pilgrim's Hotel, was totally destroyed by fire at some stage between 1916 and 1919. The new building and printing works was erected at the present site.
DIGGINGS SITE MUSEUM
It is appropriate that Pilgrim's Rest should have a diggings museum to record the first gold rush in South Africa. Soon after alluvial gold was discovered in the Pilgrim's Creek, diggers from many parts of the world rushed to this valley to peg their claims and to seek their fortunes. Life on the diggings was hard and unsympathetic. The diggers worked long hours and often received little or no reward. Many of them spent their meagre gains in nearby canteens, of which there were 11 at the time when the mining boom was at its peak. There were no proper medical or sanitary facilities and the hospital was located in a large tent where diggers did voluntary service. Many diggers arrived at the gold fields suffering badly from malaria, dysentery and exposure after their arduous journey through the Lowveld. Although this was a typical community as found at gold fields elsewhere in the world, the customary lawlessness and violence was absent. Criminals were tried by a diggers committee and punished according to the seriousness of the transgression, of which claim robbing was considered the most serious. The first jail was a tent in which the convicted was placed in stocks. The tent however was soon replaced by a wattle and daub hut. For the more serious crimes, banishment from the diggings was ordered, with certain death should the convicted criminal return. By 1874 successful diggers had replaced their tents with more durable wattle and daub shanties. Prosperous storekeepers and canteen owners were able to erect structures of timber and corrugated iron. Buildings were usually no more than one large room with elementary furnishings. Beds were made of poles with canvas sheets tacked to the frames. Layers of dried grass served for mattresses. Tables and chairs were made from wooden boxes and crates in which provisions had been transported to the diggings.
THE REDUCTION WORKS MUSEUM
In 1896 the increasing production of ore necessitated the rapid establishment of a central reduction works at Pilgrim's Rest. In 1897 the first buildings were erected consisting of a stamp mill, a smelting house and office buildings. To serve the scattered mines in the area, an electric tramline was laid to convey ore from outlying mines to the central reduction works. The size of the reduction works and the tramline was something of a technical feat at a time when South Africa was technically still in its infancy. In 1902, when the war ended, mining was resumed and the reduction works reopened. This was a testing period as the recruitment of labour and difficulties with transport slowed production. However these problems were overcome and by 1910 mining in Pilgrim's Rest entered a boom period. The reduction works was expanded as gold production rose to record levels during the period of 1913 and 1914. The reduction works continued to function through to 1959 when the machinery was adapted to produce fertiliser as a by product. The reduction works closed in 1972 when the last mine at Pilgrim's Rest ceased production. In 1974 the run down corrugated iron structures were restored and opened to the public as a museum soon after. The increasing demand for electricity created by the reduction works was one of the main reasons for the construction of the Belvedere Hydroelectric power station near Bourkes Luck in 1911. At the time it was the largest power station of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Pilgrim's Rest was the second town in South Africa to be electrified, at a time when London was still making use of gas.
ALANGLADE - PERIOD HOUSE MUSEUM
Alanglade was built in 1915 by the Transvaal Gold Mining Estates to serve as the official mine manager's residence at Pilgrim's Rest. It is situated a few kilometres to the north of this historic village, on the Mpumalanga escarpment. The residence is surrounded by mountains and shady forests that , to this day, provide an atmosphere of quiet opulence and serenity. The home was occupied by several mine managers until 1972 when mining activities at Pilgrim's Rest were ceased. Alanglade is furnished with objects from the period 1900 to 1930, using its first occupants, the Barry family and the Pilgrim's Rest milieu as point of departure. The furnishings used, reflect a modern Edwardian approach and are mostly of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco stylistic origins. Architecturally, Alanglade conforms to the design essentials of early twentieth century buildings; i.e. simplicity, harmonious proportions between roof, walls and wall openings, effective use of materials and the integration of the building in its surroundings. Alanglade houses an extensive collection and is a worthwhile destination for visitors.
HISTORIC CEMETERY AND ROBBER'S GRAVE
The origin of the old cemetery is closely connected to the legend of the Robber's Grave; that of an unknown man who was caught and convicted of tent robbing on the diggings and subsequently banished. A few days after his trial, the thief was spotted on a hill, now known as Cemetery Hill, where he was shot, killed and buried. His grave was orientated north - south to brand him a thief forever. The different nationalities of those who lie buried in the cemetery reflect the cosmopolitan character of the Pilgrim's Rest gold fields. Life on the diggings was rough, with accidents and disease as the main causes of death. The unlucky Saul Sampson died of starvation and a number of out of luck diggers committed suicide. Health services on the gold fields were practically non existent. There was however a Dr. John Ashton who advertised his skills as "Surgeon, Barber and Tentmaker". This cemetery stands as a testament
