I didn't use Blender before, but from what I saw (e.g. on YouTube) I think I could use it for creating dynamic flow chart animations (that actually look good :-). Since I do not know how to start with this, I hope you could give me a hint and/or guide me the right direction. This is a schematic example on what I want to do:
enter image description here
For a series of time points, I get data for the temperatures inside a set of water tanks and the amount of water flowing between them from some computations that are done in Python. I would like to visualize the temperature within the tanks by color, and the mass flowing between them by thickness of the arrows, in both cases also stating the current values, and show their development over time with an animation (while the changes between time points do not necessarily have to be animated, a series of pictures showing the states at the time points would already be great).
Everything should be designed in a way that the animation can be automatically generated also for other data sets. Also in future, this animation will probably be extended. As I stated, I'm completely new to Blender, but advanced in Python.
All hints and advises are highly appreciated! Thank you very much for your help!
Edit: as suggested, I split up the question in several smaller ones step by step.
 1. Link to first question on how to create the curved arrows (solved)
 2. Link to second question on how to calculate object colors from external temperature data using a color map

 $\begingroup$ yes, this is very possible - but as it stands you are asking a question which is multi faceted - or rather 4 or 5 considerably elaborate questions disguised as a concept. Someone could answer, but it would take a long time and only be applicable to a narrow audience. Let me suggest that you break it down. 1. How to make boxes at positions 2. How to script the splines to join them 3. How to make the arrows 4. How to animate Colour changes 4. How to animate spline Width changes. -- Also the design of how to spread these boxes and decide where the spline goes and what the arrow looks like. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 11:58

 $\begingroup$ You are allowed to ask as many separate questions as you want in new Questions. The better you become at making your question modular, the better we can answer short and direct. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 12:01
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Thank you for your suggestions! In the meantime I found some hints on animation, and I managed to create the boxes (which are cylinders in 3D). So I will now first of all ask a question on how to make these curved arrows (which I think would be Question 2 and 3, but make sense to be asked together, right?), and link it to this question as well. $\endgroup$ – mindm49907 Aug 9 '15 at 13:06

 $\begingroup$ yes! my response was definitely not intended to be discouraging, I love these kinds of questions..but splitting it up gives more people a chance to answer the individual elements. $\endgroup$ – zeffii Aug 9 '15 at 15:04
 - $\begingroup$ As zeffii explained, SE does better with shorter questions about specific operations; these are more likely to be applicable to other projects and thus more helpful for people looking for solutions in search engines. As it is now, this question is still too broad (your other question is great though :). Feel free to edit this question at any time, and we can re-open it accordingly. $\endgroup$ – gandalf3 Aug 9 '15 at 19:13

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with C#. Is there a concept in Windows Forms development of somehow linking a label with is text box? Something so that they move together as a unit? In the ASP.NET world, there is the AssociatedControlId property of the label control. I also think I remember MS Access form designer having some way of associating (or linking) labels with controls. Does this feature even exist in Visual Studio world?
If not, how do you group labels with controls such that if you move a text box you don't have to manually move the label also?

No there is not - at least with the out of the box controls. If you want this you could achieve it with a user control.
In general the winforms is not line driven in the same way as HTML is.

There doesn't appear to be a built in one. You can roll your own Field class though. Below is a complete example.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
namespace FieldClassTest
 class Field : FlowLayoutPanel
 public Label label;
 public TextBox text_box;
 public Field(string label_text)
 : base()
 AutoSize = true;
 label = new Label();
 label.Text = label_text;
 label.AutoSize = true;
 label.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left;
 label.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
 text_box = new TextBox();
 static class Program
 static void Main(string[] args)
 var form = new Form();
 var panel = new FlowLayoutPanel();
 panel.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.TopDown;
 panel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
 var first_name = new Field("First Name");
 var last_name = new Field("Last Name");
Here's what the example program looks like on my system:

I 2nd _USER_ answer of just creating a user control with a textbox in it. The panel can be used to group controls, but it can be pretty tedious if you have a lot of controls on the form.
If you want to support more than just textboxes, WinForms allows you to create your own designer. If you inherit your designer from the ParentControlDesigner class, you can drop any control you want into your custom label control.
share|improve this answer
If you want to group labels with other controls (or group controls in general), then use the System.Windows.Forms.Panel control. The specific purpose of the Panel control is to group collections of controls.
More information Panel Class (System.Windows.Forms)
If you want a higher degree of control (rather than using a Panel), then you could create a UserControl, that encapsulates a Label and a Control.
share|improve this answer
i think the best bet would be to use a GroupBox.
share|improve this answer
You can use extension methods to do it, follow example:
Private associatedLabels As New Dictionary(Of Control, Label)
Public Sub AssociateLabel(ByVal control As Control, ByVal label As Label)
 If (Not associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
 associatedLabels.Add(control, label)
 End If
End Sub
Public Function GetAssociatedLabel(ByVal control As Control) As Label
 If (associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
 Return associatedLabels(control)
 Throw New Exception("There is no associated label")
 End If

 - This particular example can be rewritten using readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL. However, you may prefer readUpdatableQuery_EXPERIMENTAL for several reasons:
 - You do not have ready access to a fragment reference, e.g. if the call to commitLocalUpdate is not obviously associated with a component.
 - You do not have ready access to a fragment where we select the parent record of the record we wish to modify (e.g. the Query in this example). Due to a known type hole in Relay, updatable fragments cannot be spread at the top level.
 - You wish to use variables in the updatatable fragment. Currently, updatable fragments reuse the variables that were passed to the query. This means that you cannot, for example, have an updatable fragment with fragment-local variables and call readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL multiple times, each time passing different variables.

Nonlinear ultrasonic waves, including higher -harmonic (HH)-waves, are likely to be applied in non-destructive evaluations of power plants. We first constructed a system to measure the frequency response characteristic of ultrasonic waves and experimentally investigated the mechanism of second HH generation caused by fatigue cracks. The system comprised of three-dimensional laser Doppler vibrometer (3D-LDV) to obtain contactless and local measurements. The features of 3DLDV are suitable for crack-induced scattered ultrasonic vibration measurements. Subsequently, by sweeping the input frequency, we measured the frequency response characteristic caused by fatigue cracks using the system and consequently obtained a natural frequency from the characteristic. Further, we measured the frequency response characteristic of the second HH using the same system and consequently, confirmed that the second HH resonated when its frequency corresponded to the natural frequency caused by the cracks. Additionally, we analytically revealed that the resonant second HH was generated from natural vibration and nonlinearity.

Handheld metal detectors can pick up signals from the magnetic ink on U.S. cash, a new study found.
Think those TSA agents waving a metal-detecting wand at your pockets only know how many coins you're carrying? Think again.
Metal detectors can tell how much cash is on you, too, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory in Seattle, the Daily Mail reported.
The handheld metal detectors get signals from the magnetic ink dollar bills are printed with, and the strength of the magnetic signals increases when bills are stacked together.
In other words, don't try smuggling big stacks of cash through airport security.
The discovery by Antao Chen and Chris Fuller, which they're presenting at is still in its nascent stages, though, and the pair says there's still no way for the metal detectors to count the exact amount of cash they find. They can only count the number of bills they find.
That's because a dollar bill carries the same amount of responsive magnetic ink as a $100 bill — meaning somebody carrying $10 in ones would trigger the metal detector just as much as somebody carrying $1,000 in hundreds.
Other sources can interfere with the signal, too, particularly ones that also have magnetic ink, New Scientist noted. Adding other equipment to the simple detectors could cut down on that interference, one scientist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom said.

In partnership with Rock Hill School District 3, Winthrop initiated the Piedmont Wetlands Project during the summer of 2004. The 1.1-acre area adjoins Winthrop Lake and offers research opportunity for students of all ages and a glimpse of the fast-disappearing Piedmont wetlands. A small island was incorporated to serve as a nesting ground for many area birds including the great blue heron, the little blue heron, the green heron, Canada geese, and song sparrows. Additionally, Winthrop biology faculty and students planted grass as well as 14 species of trees and 10 shrubs to help re-establish plant life typically found in Piedmont wetlands areas. The collaborative project not only provides study opportunity for area teachers and students but also improves the overall health of Winthrop Lake.

Honor for and remembrance of Old Willow is perpetuated by the Mount Nittany Conservancy, sharing stories and memories of this beautiful tree and symbol of both Penn State's past and our hope for the future. As Penn State's first and most historic symbol, it forever holds a special place of significance in the life of this community, and particularly in understanding student life and traditions of Penn State's first century and more.
Old Willow, a Penn State Heritage Tree
Spencer McCullough, a Ben Novak Fellow, created this short film in 2017 on Penn State's Heritage Trees and Groves program, of which Old Willow is a part:
Professor I. Thornton Osmond's 1923 Letter
Old Willow, Monarch of the Campus
Ben Novak's "Old Willow, Monarch of the Campus", a mid-1990s remembrance of Old Willow as Penn State's first symbol and oldest student tradition, sparked a remembrance of Old Willow and the recognition of Old Willow's fourth generation near Old Main on Pattee Mall:
Katey and Ross Lehman's 1966 Remembrance
The following originally appeared in the Centre Daily Times, in Katey and Ross Lehman's "Open House" column.
Many persons pass by the "Old Willow" on the mall of the University campus without giving it a second glance… yet this tree is a signal of Penn State spirit to many alumni.
This was illustrated by Penn State's Class of 1921, which held its 45th reunion here last weekend and also paid tribute to the "Old Willow" at its banquet. The class distributed some literature about the history of the tree, and here's a good opportunity to acquaint you with some of the background.
The "Old Willow" was planted in 1858 or 1859, but there are various claims as to who planted it.
One story reports that Professor William G. Waring, the first superintendent of farm and grounds, was responsible. He "laid out the grounds, planted the first orchards, gave the first landscape touches of ornament and plan to the campus."
Another claim is that Lemuel Osman, a young man who worked for the Farm School in the building of the west wing of Old Main, planted it. According to this version, "Old Willow" was an offshoot of trees that grew at Centre Furnace, and Mr. Osman "brought a sprig that transversed the main road." Some witnesses vouched for its authenticity.
One more interesting story—and as plausible—is that the "Old Willow" was an off-shoot from one at the villa of the poet, Pope, at Twickenham. "It is affirmed that it was brought over by Dr. Evan Pugh, Penn State's first president, when he returned from a six-year sojourn on the Continent and in England." Dr. Pugh did bring materials for the Farmers' High School, and it seems natural that he should wish to transplant a "bit of England" on our pioneer campus… and Professor Waring, quite naturally, could have planted and nurtured the infant tree.
In support of this tradition, Professor I. Thornton Osmond, who retired and moved to Carlisle, wrote a letter to Dr. John Martin Thomas, president of the University in 1923. He wrote, in part: "When I went to State College in 1879, I was told that Dr. Evan Pugh brought a scion from a willow tree on the poet Pope's grounds at Twickenham, which became the beautiful young tree then about 20 years old. I am quite sure that Prof. C. Alfred Smith was one of those who told me this. He graduated in the first class, and was Dr. Pugh's assistant for a time."
The "Old Willow," by this time, had become a thing of beauty to all on campus. As the historian, Dr. Erwin W. Runkle, said, "Let tradition continue to weave kindly strains about the origin of 'Old Willow,' no one who saw it and loved it in its prime will ever forget its beauty and majesty."
On August 21, 1923, a storm hit the campus and "Old Willow" fell. Fortunately, in anticipation of such an event, a shoot from the tree had been planted beside "Old Willow"… and on Alumni Day, June 12, 1921, this new "Old Willow" had been dedicated.
"Old Willow" has been the recipient of boundless sentiment, campus rites, of many poems of praise, and of endless pictures. "The La Vies of 1916 on, contain splendid reproductions, both real and artistic—showing that even in its declining years, it wore the garb of beauty, and continued to hold a genuine place in the hearts of Penn State men as our oldest natural tradition."
It still does, as demonstrated by the Class of 1921 last weekend. And the new "Old Willow," now 54 years old, graces the mall where (according to the Penn State Alumni News in 1923) "today it bids fair to rival in beauty and affection its progenitor."
This is only a sparse recount of the "Old Willow"… but there's one final and new note [sic] at the Class of 1921 banquet, cuttings from the "Old Willow" were distributed to class members, and the tradition of the old tree may spring up in the backyards of alumni throughout the state and nation.
If Pope's words are forgotten, his slip of a willow will not be.


It has been widely recognized that maintaining adequate air/gas injection rate is vitally important to achieving hole cleaning both against drilling cutting and liquid accumulations. It is highly imperative to accurately predict the annulus pressure drop for determining the critical air/gas injection rate required for cleaning formation both cutting and liquid influx during underbalanced drilling.
A new numerical model for determining annulus pressure drop model has been developed that is required for accurately predicting minimum air/gas injection rate for simultaneous removal of both cutting and liquid during underbalanced drilling. The new model has incorporated the influence of cutting volume which has been overlooked by most researchers. Since the required minimum flow rate needs to be determined at the surface condition, temperature and pressure dependent variables such as gas formation volume factor, (Bg), Oil formation factor, (Bo), and water formation factor, Bw has been considered in the model. The results generated show that the existing models have underestimated the required minimum air/gas flow rate for continuous lifting of both cutting and liquid during underbalanced drilling. Engineering charts have also been generated for predicting cutting and liquid-carrying capacity of air/gas that is injected into the borehole at various rates. This project provides drilling engineers the necessary knowledge and a useful tool for minimizing complications in air/gas drilling operations

Trout Condition Factor
By Dick Marquand
Trout anglers and those involved with the management of our trout and salmon fisheries are often heard to use the term "trout condition factor. " What does the term actually mean?
Condition factor is a numerical value given to a trout or salmon that reflects its condition. This value is arrived at by using a mathematical formula that takes into account both the weight and length of the fish. A well-conditioned fish has a high condition factor, while one in poor condition has a low factor.
The condition factor is arrived at by dividing its weight (in grams) by its cubed length (in centimetres
from the tip of its nose to the fork of its tail) and multiplying the result by 3612.8. This may sound
complicated, but in this day and age of pocket calculators, it is very simple and takes little time.
For example, let's take the trout in photo A, a typical good condition Lake Dunstan brownie with a length of 55.5 cm and a weight of 2700 grams.
For those of you who still think of your trout and salmon in pounds and inches, the formula is even
For example, the poor conditioned brown trout in photo B is 23 inches long and weighs 1 lb 12 oz. (One ounce is equal to 0.0625 of one pound, so 1 lb 12 oz is 1.75 lb.)
The condition factor of a trout or salmon is important to fisheries managers. The reason for a low condition factor could be that the fish is stressed, diseased or starved because of overpopulation, or perhaps its the environment is unsuitable because of water temperatures, pollution or some other factor that affects either the trout or its food source. Likewise, a high condition factor indicates a healthy fish and healthy habitat with a low population and/or a plentiful food supply.
Pre-spawning trout will be found to be in better condition than those that have experienced the rigours of spawning.
I enjoy grading my catch using a value other than its weight and length. The condition factor is to me, a very important value. I'd far rather catch a 1 kg brownie in good condition than a 3 kg slab that I could almost shave with – wouldn't you?

I've just returned from a long weekend in Bologna, Italy, and there I learnt that the word baloney in baloney sandwich is named after the town, or rather, the sausage that was first made in Bologna.
Baloney sandwich is not a well-known term in the UK, but here there is a sausage called polony, and that word, too, comes from the word Bologna.
We use the word baloney, also spelt boloney, a lot in the UK, but it means 'poppycock' or 'nonsense'. The OED says that the link with Bologna is 'conjectural', but Jonathon Green in his Dictionary of Slang refers to Ramon Adams, author of Western Words, who says that Bologna bulls are animals of inferior quality, whose meat is used to make Bologna sausage. Presumably people found the sausages inferior or 'rubbish' too, and the nonsense sense perhaps comes from this connection. Eric Partridge in A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English has a different theory. He thinks that boloney/baloney comes from the Romany word pelone, meaning testicles, and refers to the analogy of balls, which is slang for both testicles and nonsense.

Cat::AbelianMonoid
Category of Abelian monoids
Description
Cat::AbelianMonoid represents an Abelian monoid.
An Cat::AbelianMonoid is an Abelian semi-group with a neutral element dom::zero according to the operation + (_plus).
Use the axiom Ax::normalRep to state that zero is always represented in a unique way (i.e. canonically).
If an Abelian monoid has not the axion Ax::normalRep then dom::zero is only one possible representation of the neutral element. An Abelian semi-group must at least have the method "iszero" to test for zero in such a case.
Axioms
If the domain has Ax::canonicalRep, then Ax::normalRep.
Entries

The Jumpstart Deployment Web Service (JS DWS) is filled with so much more functionality that can be used to customize your task sequence in order to fit you needs. This blog post will explain how you can extend the existing task sequence that comes with Jumpstart 2012. The following example will execute a PowerShell script that is located at the server that hosts the JS DWS.
The figure below shows the logical flow of how a call is made.
Sequence
Copy the PS script to the correct location
What you need before you start is the PowerShell script that you want to execute. In my case it is called "Write-JumpstartEventLog.ps1". This script should be located in the script folder for JS DWS. This folder is a configuration setting in the web.config for the JS DWS. Open the web.config file and locate the add-element with the key-attribute PowerShellScriptFolder. It should look like this:
Here is your script folder path for JS DWS. In my case it is C:\Jumpstart\Scripts. Copy the PS script into that folder.
Add the Windows Script File
The script that makes the actual call from the task sequence to the JS DWS must be available. This script is called JumpstartExecutePS.wsf and can be copied in to the folder
\\<ServerName>\Packages$\JS1.1.1\OSD\MDTScripts\Scripts
Update the task sequence
Now it is time to add a Run Command Line action to the task sequence to execute the script that calls the JS DWS.
Edit your task sequence by right clicking and select "Edit".
1
Add a "Run Command Line" action to the task sequence by clicking Add – General – Run Command Line.
2
Enter a name for the Run Command Line action and in the command line text box type the following:
cscript "%deployroot%\scripts\JumpstartExecutePS.wsf" /WebServicePrefix:"http://%_SMSTSMP%:54224″ /ScriptName:"Write-JumpstartEventLog.ps1″ /NamedArguments:"-Message:'Jumpstart Rocks'" /debug:true

That nation's laws apply, and any attempt by the owner to claim sovereignty would generally be unrealistic. … Some islands can be bought undeveloped, while others already have roads and/or houses. Islands are also available for rent.
Can I build my own island in international waters?
It could be done, but it would be a major technical and financial effort. First, you'd have to locate your country-to-be outside of everyone else's 200-mile maritime Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). For reference, the areas open for development are those in white. Next, you'd have to build your island.
Can I buy an island and make it a country?

How to spot vehicles whose mileage has been changed
Kampala, Uganda | MOTORING GURU | The mileage of a motor vehicle affects its value on the market. Generally speaking; the higher the mileage, the lower is the value. Unfortunately, mileage tampering is a very common practice in all used car markets, in and outside Uganda. Part of the problem is that it is very easy to do with the right equipment.
The most common way to tamper with a motor vehicles mileage involves resetting the odometer or odograph; an instrument for measuring the distance travelled by a wheeled vehicle. Most odometers work by counting wheel rotations and assume that the distance traveled is the number of wheel rotations times the tire circumference. They may be digital or mechanical. It is no longer necessary to manually roll back the numbers on a mechanical instrument, Since odometers became digital in the early 2000s, they can be rolled back by using very basic equipment that hooks right into the vehicle's electronic circuit. So don't be fooled.
The odometer may be reset, the numbers altered, or replaced. These changes are often done together with others intended to make a vehicle appear newer than it is and, therefore, fetch a better price. Other alterations might include reconditioning of the external appearance of the vehicle.
To avoid being cheated, make sure you look to see if the wear and tear matches up with the reported mileage.
A low mileage car should still have the original tyres and brakes supplied by the manufacturer. It should also not show any wear on parts such as the steering wheel, gear lever, and pedals. Most mechanics will easily spot these. Get one to go with you on the buying trip.
You can also inspect the odometer for signs of tampering by ensure that all the numbers are easily readable and not crooked, there are no gaps between numbers, and there are no scratches and screws that don't match or have been replaced. Some auto makers program odometers to show an asterisk if the mileage is changed. If there is any indication that the dashboard may have been removed, then suspect odometer tampering. Beware if the car has new parts that ordinarily would not be replaced until 60,000 miles. This may indicate odometer tampering.
Also remember that the mileage on modern vehicles is tracked via both the physical odometer, and the control module. The control module does not control the number displayed on the dash. In some cases of fraud, the number visible number on the dash will be altered, while the control module still holds the accurate mileage. Checking the module requires a special tool, but it is possible.
Even if a car looks and sounds great, it doesn't mean there's nothing to be concerned about. Never expect the numbers you see on the dashboard to be the true mileage of a used vehicle. The odometer can be rolled-back to take hundreds or even thousands of kilometres off the number displayed. An average vehicle travels 10,000kms per year in Japan. Therefore, a 60,000km odometer reading is only appropriate for a car manufactured in 2012 or later. The rest are shams. Remember, however, that this average accounts for both long-distance commuters and weekend-only drivers. So combine this info with your instincts when you inspect the vehicle.

The City of Ember
The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
Power Theme
We've got two kinds of power going on in The City of Ember, and while they couldn't be more different on the surface, the more we dig, the more we realize they're intertwined. First, there's the power of energy—the river, the generator, and the electricity that lights the city. But that power is controlled by the people in power, mainly, the mayor. That gives him a whole lot of control over the citizens of Ember, since he's in charge of supplies and information. But while Lina and Doon may seem like just a pair of powerless kids, over the course of the novel, they learn that sometimes having power means taking matters into your own hands, no matter what The Powers That Be might do to you.
Questions About Power
 1. How might Lina and Doon have better addressed the power imbalance in Ember? What would you have done if you were in their shoes?
 2. Where does the power that runs the city's electricity come from? Do you think they'd have a chance to figure out how to make it work again?
 3. Who's more powerful, the mayor or Looper? What makes you say so?
 4. How do the guards figure into Ember's power structure?
Chew on This
The mayor only has power because people agree to give it to him.
It was pretty stupid of the Builders to leave the population of Ember without any idea of how their city is powered. That just goes to show that more than anything, knowledge is power.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

The Temple in Salt Lake has several inverted pentagrams as decorations. (To see a few, just google "lds temple salt lake inverted pentagrams" and click on images. Or click here)
According to Wikipedia, the inverted pentagram symbol is used in Neo-Paganism, Satanism, and magick, as well as Freemasonry.
How exactly did it become a symbol of the LDS church? (It seems like an odd symbol to use, given how it's used by others.) What does it represent according to LDS teaching?
share|improve this question
Freemasonry does not use the inverted pentagram. However Eastern Star does. I think this would be a great question for this SE. However, this may be an interesting read for you. With that said, some symbols have been around longer than Christianity. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that a 5 pointed star (no matter its direction) is bad. This is a newer taboo – user1054 Sep 5 '12 at 20:19
Symbol interpretation is always a fun subject because the meaning is so subjective. For example, what is the true meaning of the swastika? There is single answer, due to how many cultures have used it separately, and how many times it has occurred simply as a pleasing geometric shape without actually needing any special meaning. – Marc Gravell Sep 5 '12 at 21:52
_USER_: Did you mean no single answer...? – Caleb Sep 6 '12 at 12:02

The symbol has no specific meaning within LDS theology, and there are no teachings regarding it. According to an article found among the Wikipedia page's sources, the pentagram symbol actually has a long history in Christian and Jewish art and architecture, and only first began to be associated with Satanism and the occult in the 1850s. By this point, the design for the Salt Lake temple had already been drafted.
The star symbolism in the temple was included, along with carved depictions of other celestial bodies, as symbolic of heavenly glory, which is described in the Doctrine and Covenants, section 76, as being similar to the brightness of the sun, the moon and the stars.

_USER_: Have a look at the linked article. It's got several examples, including a Jewish one going back all the way to BC times. – Mason Wheeler Sep 5 '12 at 19:52
+1 Matthew B. Brown's book Symbols in Stone talks about this too, and declares the inverted star to be symbolic of the Morning Star (Venus) and thus a symbol of Jesus Christ. (He declares Himself the "bright and morning star") – Dave DeLong Sep 5 '12 at 21:02
Accepted answere, but it seems odd that it is used so often without there being any specific meaning or teaching regarding it. – Narnian Sep 7 '12 at 14:18
_USER_: One possible explanation: They just wanted stars. There are two stars that are geometrically very easy to create: a five-pointed star, and a six-pointed star. And the six-pointed star already had a well-known meaning as a piece of religious symbolism at the time the temple was being built: it's the Star of David, associated as strongly with Judaism as the cross is with Christianity. The five-pointed star did not have any such meaning at that time, so it was quite convenient to use. It's worth noting that temples built later have not included the pentagram in their ornamentation. – Mason Wheeler Sep 7 '12 at 14:51
I'll second _USER_'s thoughts -- "they just wanted stars". Sounds creepy when you say "inverted pentagram". – Jake Toronto Jun 11 '14 at 23:07
The inverted star represents the second coming of Jesus Christ. This symbol is also on the Nauvoo Temple and this is what I was told when I asked around about it.
share|improve this answer
How exactly does that represent the second coming of Jesus? It had long before been a symbol of Freemasonry. – Narnian Jun 11 '14 at 13:03
Joseph Smith was a freemason and many of the symbols on the temple are also used in freemasonry. As Mason noted, this doesn't give any meaning to the symbol (unless you have conspiracy theories regarding freemasonry,) but simply seems to be one possibility for the architectural influence.
Some have also suggested that there are also some influences between some of the garments used in the LDS temple and the robes of the Freemasons and also having members-only ceremonies, though these may be more coincidental.

River Plume Liftoff Dynamics and Surface Expressions
Published Web Locationhttps://doi.org/10.1029/2019wr026475
The water surface expression of liftoff and its dependence on discharge are examined using numerical simulations with the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). Liftoff is the process by which buoyant river water separates from the bed and flows over denser saltwater. During low-discharge conditions liftoff occurs in the river and is accompanied by a change in the surface slope. During high-discharge conditions liftoff occurs outside the mouth and generates a ridge on the water surface. The location and height of the ridge can be described by analytical equations in terms of discharge, shelf slope, and river mouth aspect ratio. The offshore distance and height of the ridge are proportional to the river discharge and vary inversely with river mouth aspect ratio. For steep shelf slopes liftoff occurs close to the river mouth and generates a large ridge. The ridge is modified, but not eliminated, by the presence of tides. The water surface slope change at the ridge peak is large enough to be detected by the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) altimeter and can be used to identify the liftoff location during high discharge. However, during low discharge the water surface slope change at the liftoff location is too small to be detected by SWOT. These results indicate that remote measurements of the presence or absence of the ridge may be useful to distinguish between low and high flows, and remote measurements of the ridge location or height could be used to estimate freshwater discharge.

This technical brief presents a study on the effectiveness of the bottom insulation of a salinity gradient solar pond (SGSP) in Melbourne, Australia. Insulation is applied at the bottom of a SGSP in order to minimize the heat loss from the SGSP to the ground underneath. But selection of optimum thickness of the insulation to extract the best thermal performance of an SGSP is a challenge as insulation involves significant investment. Hence, modeling heat loss from SGSP to the ground before and after applying the insulation is thus very essential. In this study, a layer of polystyrene is used as insulation at the bottom of SGSP. The temperature distribution in the SGSP and ground below it, the efficiency of the SGSP and the heat removal from SGSP are estimated for the SGSP without insulation and with insulation of different thicknesses. The results show that the insulation definitely reduces the heat loss from the SGSP to the ground, but to a certain extent. Insulation beyond a certain thickness is proved to be ineffective in increasing the efficiency or reducing the heat loss to ground and thus unable to enhance the thermal performance of the SGSP.

Kinsale is a town steeped in history and colour and a popular tourist destination. Kinsale was the battlefield site where the English forces defeated an Irish/Spanish force in 1601.
Charles Fort, which is a now a popular location for events, dates back to 1677. Charles Fort is a fortification that guards the entrance to Kinsale harbour – naturally it was built to protect the harbour from enemy attacks from France and Spain. On the other side of the cove you will find James's Fort near the Castlepark peninsula.
On May 7, 1915 when the German U-boat sunk the RMS Lusitania, the survivors were brought to Kinsale and the subsequent inquest on the bodies recovered was held in the town's courthouse. In light of the sad tragedy, you will find a statue in the harbour commemorating the effort.


GUI for the Cone Ply Piece Optimization Tool
This tool is supposed to support the user by finding the optimal ply piece shape for laminated cones. There are four different tools that can be used:
 - The Input-Tool
 - The Cone Geometry-Tool
 - The Plot Ply Piece-Tool
 - The Evaluation-Tool
When the program is started, the Input-Tool shows up. All other Tools are accessible through the Menu Bar Item 'Tools'.
Installation Requirements
To use this tool one needs Python 2.x, numpy and matplotlib, like for the Abaqus-plugin. Additionally, PyQt4 (_URL_ is needed.
Input Tool
The Input-Tool is also the Main Window of this program. The user can use the other tools by following the program or by clicking the different items in the menu 'Tools'.
../../../_images/fig_011.png
Figure 1: Input GUI
In Figure 1 is the Input-Tool shown. In the menu bar are two different items visible. In the 'File'-Menu one can save or load a specific study or close the whole program. Inside the 'Tools'-Menu are three different items which lead to the other three tools.
The 'Set Cone Geometry'-Button opens the Cone Geometry-GUI, which will be explained later.
One can edit five different parameters for one study: Maximum width, starting Position, Fiber Angle, Width Variation and the basic ply shape. For each parameter one has to define the lower and the upper limits and the step size. On the right side of the GUI is a drawing which explains three of the four numerical parameters. For further explanation is the effect of the parameters in the following chapter shown.
Effect of the different parameters on the shape of the ply piece
There are five different parameters used in this program to modify the shape of the ply piece. The basic ply shape parameter changes the general rules which are applied by constructing the ply piece. In Figure 2 is the influence of the parameters shown. The blue lines are the edges of the unwounded cone. The red and grey polygons are the ply pieces and the orange area is the so called effective area. Inside this area the fiber angle deviation is smaller than 2°. The larger the area, the better.
Shape A is a trapezoidal shape and has by definition none overlapping areas. Only the sides perpendicular to the original line are parallel to each other. Shape B is also a trapezoidal shape (called 'Trapez2') and allows single overlapping of two ply pieces on the free cone area. The last basic shape is rectangular. The opposite sides are parallel to each other. In Figure 2 are the different basic shapes exemplarily shown.
../../../_images/fig_021.png
Figure 2: Examples of different basic shapes
The maximum width parameter determines the largest width of the ply piece. For the rectangular shape is the width constant and for the trapezoidal shapes can this width be found at the lower end of the cone. In Figure 3 are three different examples for the maximum width shown.
../../../_images/fig_031.png
Figure 3: Example of the maximum width
The starting position s_{{\Theta}_{nom}} defines at which s-coordinate the nominal fiber angle starts. The smaller the value is, the nearer starts the part at the cone vertex. In Figure 4 are two different examples shown.
../../../_images/fig_041.png
Figure 4: Examples of the starting position
The fiber angle {\Theta}_{nom} is measured between the s-coordinate and the straight lines of the ply piece. In this example the fiber angle lies between the lower edge of the unwounded cone area and the upper and longer edge of the ply piece. In Figure 5 are examples of different fiber angle shown.
../../../_images/fig_051.png
Figure 5: Examples of different fiber angles
The width variation is a different parameter. When a ply piece is constructed, the program uses a 'basic line' which starts at s_{{\Theta}_{nom}} with the fiber angle \Theta. The ending edge of the ply piece is always perpendicular to the basic line. The width variation defines the position of the vertices of the ply piece polygon on the ending edge relative to the basic line.
For a value of a_w=0 the basic line is also the upper edge of the ply piece polygon, see Figure 6 (a). When a_w is 0.5 the basic line is the axis symmetry for the upper and lower ply piece edges (Figure 6 (b)). The upper limit of a_w is 1.0 and then the basic line is also the lower edge of the ply piece (Figure 6 (c)).
This parameter is important for fiber angles smaller than 15°. For larger angles the optimum is always a_{w, opt}=0. For 0° the optimum value is a_w=0.5. This variable can only be used for the Shapes A and C.
../../../_images/fig_061.png
Figure 6: Examples of different width variations
Using the Input-Tool
The controls in the Input-Tool are used to define the limits and step sizes of the parametric study.
In the first column one can choose if one of the parameters shall be fixed. In this case only the minimum Value is considered. This reduces the processing time and makes the evaluation easier.
The next three columns are the minimum, maximum and step size value for each parameter. If an entry is invalid (Min > Max) a Message Box adverts the mistake.
It is possible to save the parameters to a file and load it to the GUI later. When loaded the values in the editable lines are changed.
It is not possible to compare the results of different basic shapes in this tool. For this it is recommended to export the result data to Excel.
Geometry Tool
This tool changes the geometry of the studied cone. This tool can be entered by clicking the 'Set Cone Geometry'-Button or the 'Cone Geometry Tool'- Item in the Menu 'Tools' in the menu bar.
When started, the window in Figure 7 will be opened. On the left side are four changeable lines and some further information about the cone geometry. It is possible to change the the half-cone angle and the dimensions of the cone. The parts between r1 and r2 and between r3 and r4 are auxiliary parts used for cutting and molding the edges of the cone. Between r2 and r3 (each with height H) is the so called free cone area.
The algorithm of the ply piece design will try to cover the whole cone, but the investigation and evaluation of the fiber angle deviation will be only applied to the free cone.
On the right side of the window is a dynamic drawing, which will change with the entered values. There is also the definition of the coordinate system.
../../../_images/fig_071.png
Figure 7: Cone Geometry Tool
New cone designs can be saved to a file and in a later session recovered. The save and load functions can be found in the File-Menu. The cone geometry set in this window will be used for all tools of this program.
Evaluation Tool
The evaluation tool is used to draw graphics and export the results of a parameter study to an Excel or csv-file. The tool will be opened after the parametric study is finished or by clicking its Item in the Input-Tool Menu 'Tools'. In Figure 8 is the Window of the evaluation tool shown.
The items for loading, saving and exporting can be found in the Menu 'File'. The loading application is used when the tool is opened directly from the Input-Tool window. Only files created by the save-function can be loaded into the program and not the export files.
To draw a graphic one has to choose which results should be shown. It is possible to show all evaluation parameters in one drawing. In the next step one has to decide if the drawing should be a 2D or 3D Graphic. In a 2D-Graphic is for every design parameter an own drawing made. At each Step are the highest value and the value of the other parameters for this point shown. In a 3D-Graphic are also the best results for the two design parameters chosen as axes shown. This drawing can be turned to get the best view of the drawing and is useful to get an overview of the results. In Figure 9 and Figure 10 are examples for the 2D and the 3D-Result drawing shown.
It is possible that the export function fails if there are too many results. In this case one can simply save the results and afterwards import the file as a csv-file to Excel.

Fatty infiltration of the minor salivary glands is a selective feature of aging but not Sjogren's syndrome.
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Determine the presence and assess the extent of fatty infiltration of the minor salivary glands (SG) of primary SS patients (pSS) as compared to those with non-SS sicca (nSS). METHODS:Minor SG biopsy samples from 134 subjects with pSS (n?=?72) or nSS (n?=?62) were imaged. Total area and fatty replacement area for each glandular cross-section (n?=?4-6 cross-sections per subject) were measured using Image J (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). The observer was blinded to subject classification status. The average area of fatty infiltration calculated per subject was evaluated by logistic regression and general linearized models (GLM) to assess relationships between fatty infiltration and clinical exam results, extent of fibrosis and age. RESULTS:The average area of fatty infiltration for subjects with pSS (median% (range) 4.97 (0.05-30.2)) was not significantly different from that of those with nSS (3.75 (0.087-41.9). Infiltration severity varied widely, and subjects with fatty replacement greater than 6% were equivalently distributed between pSS and nSS participants (?2 p?=?.50). Age accounted for all apparent relationships between fatty infiltration and fibrosis or reduced saliva flow. The all-inclusive GLM for prediction of pSS versus non-SS classification including fibrosis, age, fatty replacement, and focus score was not significantly different from any desaturated model. In no iteration of the model did fatty replacement exert a significant effect on the capacity to predict pSS classification. CONCLUSIONS:Fatty infiltration is an age-associated phenomenon and not a selective feature of Sjögren's syndrome. Sicca patients who do not fulfil pSS criteria have similar rates of fatty infiltration of the minor SG.

The objective of this work was to determine the predictors of depressive symptoms among spouse caregivers of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Little is known about the strain in giving care to PD patients and how the motor, cognitive, and behavioral complications of PD contribute to depression among spouse caregivers.
Forty-five consecutive PD patients and their spouse caregivers agreed to be evaluated after a routine clinic visit. Patient demographic data and the presence of hallucinations, delusions, incontinence, and sleep disturbances were obtained. The patients were assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-motor section), Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) staging, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) on patients and spouses.
Thirty men and 15 women had a mean age of 71.5 years (range 53–85), average PD duration of 10 years (range 1–26), a mean "on" H&Y stage of 2.8 and an MMSE mean score of 26 (range 13–30). There was good correlation between the HAMD-17 and the BDI-II scores in both patients (r = 0.69, P = 0.001) and spouses (r = 0.66, P < 0.001). A moderate correlation was noted between the spouse HAMD-17 score and the patient UPDRS-motor score (r = 0.34; P = 0.02), the age of PD onset (r = 0.33; P = 0.02) and patient HAMD-17 scores (r= 0.29; P = 0.05). A stronger correlation was noted between spouse HAMD-17 scores and the years of PD duration (r= 0.43; P = 0.003). There was a significant difference in the mean spouse HAMD-17 scores among PD patients with sleep disturbances versus those who did not (10.2 vs. 6.4; P = 0.04). However, on stepwise regression analysis, only the duration of PD remained significant (adjusted r = 0.17; P = 0.003). No difference was noted with hallucinations, delusions or incontinence. We concluded that the duration of PD appears to be the strongest predictor of depressive symptoms among spouse-caregivers in this small cohort. © 2001 Movement Disorder Society.

Dounreay - Past Present Future
As you come up to land from the foreshore you can see the Dounreay Castle. Excavations were completed a few years ago in what is believed to be one of the most innovative archaeological projects undertaken in the UK. During the 1950's areas of the castle grounds became contaminated when sea discharge experiments were carried out there. As part of its programme to clean up contaminated areas of the site, UKAEA embarked on a project to remove all this material in Autumn 1997. However, given the archaeological significance of the site, it was impossible to simply clear the area in the normal way and archaeologists were called in to advise on the best way to carry out the work without damaging the structure of the castle.
A number of historians and organisations have visited the Castle over the last year and continue to do so on a regular basis.
In total some 200 tonnes of soil and rubble were excavated and data collected is being put together in large scale plans and photographic records. The excavation was carried out layer by layer and the sequence of occupation has been revealed.
Oliver Cromwell's army is known to have camped here in the 17th century.

The 50th anniversary of the late Paddy "the Cope" was marked recently with a Mass, a tree planting and a wreath laying.
Fr Aodhan Cannon, PP, was the principal celebrant of the Mass, and he was assisted by Fr Michael McCullagh, CM, who, himself, was a part-time employee in the Cope in the past.
His father, the late Eddie McCullagh, had worked in the old Cope building on a permanent full-time basis in the shoe department.
Paddy "the Cope" was the founder of the Templecrone Agricultural Co-operative Society, the Cope.
After Mass all gathered at Paddy's grave, where a wreath was placed by Jim Gallagher, a grandson. Then it was on to the Cope car park on the other side of the road, where a tree was planted alongside the plaque by Paddy "the Cope" Gallagher, Jim's brother, as his cousin, Pat "the Cope" stood alongside him at the tree planting.
Among the large gathering were Fred Sweeney and Cathal McCole, who had each worked in the Cope for more than 50 years.

Swimmers in an Olympic-sized pool could be surrounded by up to 50 gallons of urine, a new study has revealed. Scientists tested for an artificial sweetener called acesulfame potassium, which is consistently present in urine, making it easy to monitor pool levels. In the tests, they found that a 91,500 gallon pool contained 5.8 gallons of urine and a 183,000 gallon pool, a third the size of an Olympic pool, was filled with around 17 gallons. Although Olympic swimmers have admitted to urinating in pools regularly (along with the 19% of adults who say they've done it at least once), it is generally not an accepted practice. Despite urine itself being sterile, compounds can react with disinfectants such as chlorine -- causing them to become volatile and lead to eye and respiratory irritation.

Carving is the practice of searching an input for files or other kinds of objects based on content, rather than on metadata. File carving is a powerful tool for recovering files and fragments of files when directory entries are corrupt or missing, as may be the case with old files that have been deleted or when performing an analysis on damaged media. Memory carving is a useful tool for analyzing physical and virtual memory dumps when the memory structures are unknown or have been overwritten.
Most file carvers operate by looking for file headers and/or footers, and then "carving out" the blocks between these two boundaries. Semantic Carving performs carving based on an analysis of the contents of the proposed files.
File carving should be done on a disk image, rather than on the original disk.
File carving tools are listed on the Tools:Data_Recovery wiki page.
Many carving programs have an option to only look at or near sector boundaries where headers are found. However, searching the entire input can find files that have been embedded into other files, such as JPEGs being embedded into Microsoft Word documents. This may be considered an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the circumstances.
Today most file carving programs will only recover files that are contiguous on the media.
FIle Carving Taxonomy
- General term for extracting data (files) out of undifferentiated blocks (raw data), like "carving" a sculpture out of soap stone.
- Block Based Carving
- Any carving method (algorithm) that analyzes the input on block-by-block basis to determine if a block is part of a possible output file. This method assumes that each block can only be part of a single file (or embedded file).
- Characteristic Based Carving
- Any carving method (algorithm) that analyzes the input on characteristic basis (for example, entropy) to determine if the input is part of a possible output file.
- Header/Footer Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header (start of file marker) and footer (end of file marker).
- Header/Maximum (file) size Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header (start of file marker) and a maximum (file) size. This approach works because many file formats (e.g. JPEG, MP3) do not care if additional junk is appended to the end of a valid file.
- Header/Embedded Length Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a distinct header and a file length (size) which is embedded in the file format
- File structure based Carving
- A method for carving files out of raw data using a certain level of knowledge of the internal structure of file types. Garfinkel called this approach "Semantic Carving" in his DFRWS2006 carving challenge submission, while Metz and Mora called the approach "Deep Carving."
- Semantic Carving
- A method for carving files based on a linguistic analysis of the file's content. For example, a semantic carver might conclude that six blocks of french in the middle of a long HTML file written in English is a fragment left from a previous allocated file, and not from the English-language HTML file.
- Carving with Validation
- A method for carving files out of raw data where the carved files are validated using a file type specific validator.
- Fragment Recovery Carving
- A carving method in which two or more fragments are reassembled to form the original file or object. Garfinkel previously called this approach "Split Carving."

First National Bank currency
Cuba City's First National Bank operated from 1900 to 1928, when it was acquired by the Cuba City State Bank.
This is an actual bank note issued by the First National Bank in Cuba City and signed by cashier Matt Hendricks and bank president Henry J. Kettler. The note was printed by the United States Treasury and is dated 1900, but it's not clear when it went into circulation. Kettler was definitely the bank's president by 1911.
Certified proofs for Cuba City's First National Bank notes, dated 1900 and 1920, are still held by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History:

Researchers In China Used Live Pigs As Crash Test Dummies In Horrific Simulations
Content Advisory
Pigs are highly intelligent and sentient animals that feel pain, just like we do. They are vocal and social animals that love to cuddle. Sadly, most are not treated kindly and seen only as food or a test subject.
Researchers at China's Research Institute for Traffic Medicine used young pigs, 70-80 days old, in a horrific car crash simulation. According to the study, they were using the pigs to represent six-year-old children.
"The animals were denied food and water for (24) hours before the tests," reports Daily Mail. 15 pigs were strapped into the seats using one of three different restraint methods. The seats were mounted to sleds and then slammed into a wall at 30 mph.
"The restraint methods were divided into three groups: Loading A, two parallel belts restraining chest and abdomen; Loading B, one diagonal belt and a lap belt; Loading C, double diagonal belts. Each subject experienced one test at an impact speed of 30 or 50 km/h, with a belt tension force sensor to determine the forces on chest, abdomen or diagonal belt," stated the study.
Seven pigs were killed instantly from the impact and the others suffered for hours from multiple injuries. "The detected injuries were abrasion, contusion, laceration, bleeding and fracture."
Animal activist, Anikett, tweeted disturbing images from the simulation causing public outrage. One image showed a pig being flung forward during the crash simulation. Anikett wrote, "See their faces…💔😭😭😭".

Thousands of people responded and expressed their anger over the barbaric act. "Despicable, so very cruel and so very wrong!! 😡 The poor pigs. 💔😢," posted an outraged person.
Zachary Toliver from PETA said, "Despite the existence of sophisticated animal-free models, experimenters continue to fasten abused, frightened animals into car seats and crash them into walls until their bodies are bloody, bruised, and mangled."
He went on to say, "Using sentient animals in car-crash tests is cruel, archaic, and unjustifiable."

At the City of San Marcos, the health and safety of our community is our top priority. Amid the COVID-19 outbreak and Governor Gavin Newsom's "stay at home" order, project construction will proceed as project construction activities are exempt under the order. Here are the two sections in the order supporting this exemption:
- Emergency Services Sector: "Workers who support the operation, inspection, and maintenance of essential public works facilities and operations, including bridges, water and sewer main breaks, fleet maintenance personnel, construction of critical or strategic infrastructure, construction material suppliers, traffic signal maintenance, emergency location services for buried utilities, maintenance of digital systems infrastructure supporting public works operations, and other emergent issues."
- Other Community-Based Government Operations and Essential Functions: "Construction workers who support the construction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of construction sites and construction projects (including housing construction)."
Given the importance of the project and its role in providing critical transportation infrastructure and relief from flooding, the City will continue with construction as planned. The Creek construction team is taking all recommended precautions to stay healthy and safe by following the guidance from public health officials, not gathering in groups larger than 10 people, practicing social distancing and frequent handwashing on the construction site.

United Nations Medals - The United Nations Special Service Medal
About the United Nations Special Service Medal
The United Nations Special Service Medal (UNSSM) was created in 1995 to recognise United Nations service of at least 90 days duration by military personnel and civilian police for which no other award is authorised. Approval has been given for New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) personnel to wear the United Nations Special Service Medal for service in the following United Nations missions:
- United Nations Mine Clearance Training Team (UNMCTT) - Pakistan and Afghanistan, _PHONE_
- United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) - _PHONE_
- Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) - _PHONE_
- United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs Accelerated De-Mining Programme (MADP) - Mozambique, _PHONE_
- United Nations De-Mining Programme (National Institute for the Removal of Obstacles and Explosive Ordnance (INAROE) - Angola, _PHONE_
- Programme for the Assistance to the Lao National Unexploded Ordnance Programme (UXOL) - Laos, _PHONE_
- United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) - Iraq, 2002-2003
- United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) - 2004-current
- United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) - 2005-current
- United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) - 2005-2006
- United Nations Mine Action Coordination Centre in Southern Lebanon (UNMACC-SL) - 2007-2008
The medal is bronze with an image of the globe (centred on the North Pole) surrounded by a wreath of leaves on the front (obverse). The letters 'UN', in capitals, sit above the image of the globe. On the reverse are the words "IN THE SERVICE OF PEACE". This is the same medal design as used for the United Nations Medal.
About the ribbon
The colours of the ribbon for the UNSSM are light blue in the centre and white on the edges, which are the basic colours of the United Nations. These colours represent service in the field under United Nations auspices that was not with a specific peacekeeping operation.
Clasps and Bars
The guidelines for the United Nations Special Service Medal state that a bar with the name of the United Nations Organization or country may be awarded with the United Nations Special Service Medal. To the best of the NZDF's knowledge, only three clasps have actually been created for, or issued with, the United Nations Special Service Medal:
- - the "UNSCOM" clasp for service with the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) between 1991 and 1999
- - the "Timor Leste" clasp for service with the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) between 20 May 2005 and 30 June 2006; and
- - the "Afghanistan" clasp for service with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) since December 2004.
Numerals are not awarded for the UNSSM.
Order of Wear
An example of the position of the United Nations Special Service Medal in the Wearing of Medals in New Zealand Table can be viewed here. The position of wear of the United Nations Special Service Medal for each individual will vary depending on when an individual qualified for the United Nations Special Service Medal. As for Campaign and War medals, United Nations medals are worn in order of the date an individual qualified for each award.

Modular math parser
Spar is a modular math parser that comes with a fully featured text frontend, something like an interactive calculator. It also provides a simple but complete API for C/C++ programmers. This API provide a complete interface to a top down parser that supports variables, constants, functions, modules and a libc based math library. This math library overrides standard functions with a "custom" version such as. deg, rad auto conversion, infinite symbol, function domain….
Spar, can be easily extended with modules. A module is a "user" extensions, written in C/C++, to the basic features of the Simple Parser. Here you can find the module definition is a C structure that contains only few data member - module name - module version - module description - a pointer to the module main function
The modules are loaded at run-time by the module loader that is a high level layer of the module manager you can load your modules, simply, coping theirs paths into the .spar_modules or any other file, with the -c option.

Permanent Account Number abbreviated as PAN is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department to Indian taxpayers.
The department records all tax-related transactions and information of an individual against his unique permanent account number. This allows the taxman to link all tax-related activities with the department.
PAN primarily acts as a database for all individual transactions, such as the tax collected at source (TCS)/tax deducted at source (TDS) credits, income tax payments, return on gift/investments/wealth, etc. Simply put, the PAN enables the tax department to identify an individual's tax-related transaction.
PAN Card
The tax department issues an individual's PAN on a physical card referred to as the PAN card. The PAN card includes information, such as the PAN number, photograph, name, and date of birth of the holder.
PAN has a typical format of ABCTY1234D. The first three characters, i.e. 'ABC' in the above number is an alphabetic series ranging between AAA and ZZZ. The 4th character, i.e. 'T', represents the PAN holder's status. The alphabet 'T' represents Trust, 'F' for Firm, 'H' for HUF, 'P' for Individual, 'C' for Company etc. The 5th character, i.e. 'Y', represents the first alphabet the PAN holder's last name. The next four characters are sequential digits ranging between 0001 and 9999. The 10th character, i.e. 'D', is an alphabetic check digit that runs from A to Z.
Is PAN Mandatory?
The Income Tax Department has mandated the use of PAN on the return of income on all tax-related transactions. PAN is an integral aspect when it comes to tracking the transactions and monitoring the inflow and outflow of an individual's money.
Also, the government has mandated the linking of PAN with Aadhaar. The deadline for linking of PAN with Aadhaar is 31 March 2020. In the same line, the Finance Minister, in the Union Budget 2020, proposed to instantly allot PAN to individuals on the basis of their Aadhaar.

Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight and Daylight Saving Time in October
The solar day over the course of October. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Langley is essentially constant during October, remaining around 0% throughout.
For reference, on August 5, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

What are some tertiary consumers in the deciduous forest?
Coyotes, black bears, eagles and owls are the tertiary predators in this ecosystem. Although black bears are quite large and will eat secondary consumers, large fish and primary consumers (like rabbits), they mostly forage for berries and vegetation.
What are some tertiary consumers in a forest ecosystem?
Higher up in the forest food web are tertiary consumers, the carnivores and omnivores that eat the animals on the secondary consumer level. An example of these animals would be owls. Above the tertiary consumers are the apex predators. These animals eat carnivores and omnivores but have no natural predators.
What are some tertiary consumers?
Examples of Tertiary Consumers
- Humans. Humans are largely omnivorous. ...
- Big Cats like Lions and Tigers. Lions, tigers, leopards and other big cats are classed as tertiary consumers. ...
- Polar Bear. ...
- Secretary Bird. ...
- Crocodiles. ...
- Pythons and Boas. ...
- Other Examples of Marine Tertiary Consumers.
What do tertiary consumers do?
A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.
What animals eat tertiary consumers?
Tertiary consumers: snakes, raccoons, foxes, fish. Quaternary consumers: wolves, sharks, coyotes, hawks, bobcats. Note: Many animals can occupy different trophic levels as their diet varies.
Are humans tertiary consumer?
Tertiary consumers, sometimes also known as apex predators, are usually at the top of food chains, capable of feeding on secondary consumers and primary consumers. Tertiary consumers can be either fully carnivorous or omnivorous. Humans are an example of a tertiary consumer.
Is a badger a tertiary consumer?
An example of a tertiary consumer is a black mamba (snake). The top (apex) predator (the "alpha", super or the top of top-level predators) are predators with no natural predators of their own , at the top. The top predator in the pyramid, is the BADASS honey badger.
Why do the tertiary consumers have the least energy?
Because there are losses in energy between levels, the population between levels also diminishes. With less energy, there are less creatures that can be supported by it, so the level with the least amount of creatures would be the tertiary consumers, while the level with the most organisms would the producers.
How much energy does a tertiary consumer get?
Tertiary consumers receive 10% of the energy available at the secondary level (0.
How much energy is transferred from primary consumer to secondary?
1 Answer. 10% is transferred by primary consumer but after heat loss net amount of energy received by secondary consumer is 1% .
How does removing several secondary consumers impact the entire ecosystem?
If secondary consumers are removed from an ecosystem, the primary consumers would benefit b/c they would not have any predators. This would be negative for the producers b/c the larger population of primary consumers would over eat the producers. ... Predators hunt and consume prey.
Do secondary consumers eat primary consumers?
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. Many secondary consumers also eat plants, which makes them omnivores (meat and plant eaters). ... Tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers and are usually carnivores (meat eaters).
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers?
Primary consumers are those that consume the primary producers (plants). For example- rabbits consume grass. Secondary consumers are those that consume the primary consumers (herbivores). For example- Snakes that consumes rabbit. Tertiary consumers are those that eats the secondary consumers (large predators).
