CamRuler lets you measure (almost) anything that you can take a photo of. Now you don't need to carry a ruler around just to get a measurement - your phone's got you covered.
CamRuler produces measurements by utilizing a reference object of known dimensions in the image you wish to measure. The app comes pre-loaded with common objects such as:
-Coins and paper currency (US, CAN, UK, EU, AUS, MEX)
-Common paper sizes (8.5x11, Legal size, business card, index card)
All you need to do is take a photo (or have someone send you one) with your chosen reference object in it.
You can also create your own custom objects of known dimensions (so if your country's currency isn't pre-loaded, you can add it).
Another measurement option is using a custom reference length, which can be used to get distance measurements from maps with scale bars, as well as length measurements on microscope photos (micrographs and electron micrographs) given a length reference. CamRuler's custom reference length mode also works well if there is an image of a ruler in the photo.
CamRuler allows users to choose between many common units of measurement, both metric and imperial:
-Metric: nanometers, micrometers, millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers
-Imperial: inches, feet, yards, miles, nautical miles
You can also set a custom scale (architectural scale) for whatever you are measuring - things such as blueprints, designs, scale models and get the relevant measurement. CamRuler comes pre-loaded with common scales and also allows you to set your own.
CamRuler allows you to set a label for your measurements and save them as a screenshot to your phone's camera roll. You can also save images for future measurement.
CamRuler allows you to take new photos or use images in your phone's camera roll. This makes it easy to ask someone to send you a photo from a remote location - then you can measure it on the fly. Pretty useful!
Limitations: The measurements you make must be in the same plane (or as close as possible) as the reference object you select. Also, measurements will be more accurate when the reference object takes up more space in the image.
The accuracy of the measurements provided by CamRuler depend on the user's ability to correctly target the reference object. While it's possible to get accurate measurements with CamRuler, the measurements should be considered an estimate only, and should not be used where precision is required. Using a quarter as a reference object, accuracies within a millimeter can be achieved.

This work presents the design, analysis and implementation of the first sub-linear searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) protocol that supports conjunctive search and general Boolean queries on symmetrically-encrypted data and that scales to very large data sets and arbitrarily-structured data including free text search. To date, work in this area has focused mainly on single-keyword search. For the case of conjunctive search, prior SSE constructions required work linear in the total number of documents in the database and provided good privacy only for structured attribute-value data, rendering these solutions too slow and inflexible for large practical databases.
In contrast, our solution provides a realistic and practical trade-off between performance and privacy by efficiently supporting very large databases at the cost of moderate and well-defined leakage to the outsourced server (leakage is in the form of data access patterns, never as direct exposure of plaintext data or searched values). A key aspect of our protocols is that it allows the searcher to pivot its conjunctive search on the estimated least frequent keyword in the conjunction. We show that a Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) based pseudo-random function can be used not just to implement search tokens but also to hide query access pattern of non-pivot, and hence possibly highly frequent, keywords in conjunctive queries. We present a formal cryptographic analysis of the privacy and security of our protocols and establish precise upper bounds on the allowed leakage.
To demonstrate the real-world practicality of our approach, we provide performance results of a prototype applied to several large representative data sets.

brick. When it comes to building materials, solid brick is obviously more expensive than brick veneer. For materials alone, you're looking at spending between $6 and $15 per square foot. Installation must be done by a professional mason. So, for both materials and labor, solid brick costs $14 to $30.
The masonry work required contributes to the higher cost for solid brick siding. However, your home will benefit from increased strength, longevity, and a timeless look.
How Can You Tell the Difference Between Solid Brick and Brick Veneer?
The easiest way to tell if your home has brick veneer or solid masonry construction is to take a look at the brick pattern. A brick veneer wall is a single wall, whereas a structural brick wall is two brick walls constructed side-by-side. To attach these two individual walls, masons install header rows. A header row is a layer of bricks that is installed perpendicular to the wall, which bridges the gap between the walls and makes the brick part of both walls.
Header bricks are rotated 90 degrees, installed with the short end facing outwards. If you know what you're looking for, this shift in the pattern is very apparent. While the specific pattern may vary, you typically see a header row roughly every six rows, or so.
Stone Veneer Siding
Stone veneer siding is the same concept as brick veneer but it's a cheap alternative to stone walls. It costs and an average of $6-$11 per square foot to install stone veneer siding, but it varies based on labor and materials. Homeowners spend between $9,000 and $18,000 to install stone veneer siding for their exterior walls.
The Stone veneer is made of one layer of thin stone on the outside that helps insulate your home. It is also more durable than traditional siding and can withstand impact quite well. Some stone veneer contains no stone and instead has a synthetic stone façade.
Synthetic stone veneer isn't as durable as standard stone veneer, and it doesn't insulate your home well. Either way, stone veneer siding is lightweight, visually appealing, and affordable to install compared to regular stone. Your final price depends on whether you choose stone, stone veneer, or fake stone siding for your exterior walls.
Stone walls are exorbitantly expensive to install, and they cost between $30 and $50 per square foot. It is the most expensive option for exterior walls, and stone walls cost $55,000-$70,000 or more to install. That limits who can choose stone for their walls, but it is such a desirable aesthetic that carries many benefits.
Authentic stone can naturally insulate your house better than any other material, but it comes at a cost. Stone is heavy and difficult to install which adds a lot of money in labor and material costs. Traditional stone walls include two thick layers of stone, and that requires plenty of stone to build up.
Stone walls are sensitive to the weather and moisture in the air, and they don't always hold up well. Time, weathering, and humidity can crack the surface of exterior stone walls and it's easy to notice. That alone makes veneer and fake stone siding a great alternative to authentic stone.
Your average professional contractor will charge you $6-$11 per square foot to install stone veneer siding. A stone veneer generally comes in panels that contractors install over a frame and secure with adhesive. That makes it fairly easy for professionals to install stone veneers which can keep labor costs to a minimum.
It takes up to 10 hours or more to install stone veneer if they already removed the old siding. A Stone veneer is better at retaining heat than a real stone in many cases, and that makes a veneer desirable. Many professionals install stone veneers over fiber cement, wood frames, or polyurethane panels for support. That also helps keep the construction costs low and helps insulate your house well.
Fake Stone Siding
Fake stone siding is similar to fake brick siding in that it can save hundreds or thousands of dollars. You can expect to pay between $4 and $9 per square foot to install the fake stone siding. Professionals install fake stone siding in strips and panels, and it is quite lightweight.
Fake stone siding is not great for insulation, and it doesn't look as authentic as natural stone. However, it is the cheapest stone or brick siding option besides fake brick siding, and it does look good. Choose fake stone siding if you want the desirable appearance of stone without the excessive installation cost.

Can Brick Veneer Be Repaired?
Yes, you can repair brick veneer when it succumbs to damage from water erosion and impact damage. Water damage is the most common problem with brick veneer exterior walls as moisture wears brick down. You must repair the brick veneer if there is visible damage so that water doesn't leak into the frame underneath the brick.
You can hire someone to fix your brick veneer and spend $100-$400 or more depending on the severity of the damage. Otherwise, you can prepare a mixture of mortar and apply it to the damaged parts of the brick veneer with a trowel. Simply wet the mortar for the next days after you apply it, and it will reinforce your brick veneer.
Does brick veneer require weep holes?
Yes, you need to put weep holes in your brick veneer walls so that water doesn't get trapped behind the wall. Otherwise, you run the risk of trapping water which can cause water damage and mold that can spread throughout the house. You need to make sure that your brick veneer wall has to weep holes in the mortar joints so that moisture has an escape route.
Should brick veneer be sealed?
Yes, you should always seal the brick veneer whether you install it indoors or outdoors. Professionals seal brick veneer walls with Thinset, caulk, and various construction adhesives. Seal your brick veneer wall to help protect it from erosion and other forms of moisture damage.
Does brick veneer add value?
Brick veneer siding does not add value in the way that solid brick walls add up to 8% value to a home. You can still possibly add more value with brick veneer than with vinyl siding, but it is not as sought after by buyers. However, it does help sell your home in the sense that brick veneer is visually appealing, and many prospective buyers enjoy the aesthetic.
Summing It Up
Brick veneer installation costs between $9,000 and $25,000 depending on what kind of veneer you choose. Face brick veneer and thin brick veneer are the most expensive options, but you can save money with a fake brick veneer. You may spend between $800 and $3,000 more if you have to remove old siding before you install a brick veneer.
Brick veneer installation takes 10 hours, and you may pay between $400 and $1,000 on labor depending on the rate. Expect to pay $100-$400 for any repairs that you need to make with damaged brick veneer walls. Brick veneer is an affordable, durable, visually appealing alternative to solid brick exterior walls.

Sm.OIL Mini Oil Water Interface Meter
Small size but big features. Heron's small interface meter is an economical unit that will measure to 60ft(20m) below the top of the well, making it ideal for shallow wells or high water tables. The Sm.Oil interface meter measures the thickness of floating or sinking layers of hydrocarbon products in the groundwater. Many of these instruments are used by refineries, oil spill and remediation companies, land fills and site clean up projects.
Sm.OIL Interface Meter is a well balanced mini unit to obtain the measurement of the thickness of product floating on the surface of the water
The Heron Sm.OIL is certified intrinsically safe for use in explosive environments. Using the grounding cable ensures safety when working in hazardous environments. The Sm.OIL is a precision instrument used to accurately measure the thickness of product layers (LNAPL) as thin as 1mm (1/200ft) floating on the water table and sinking layers (DNAPL) quickly, easily and accurately. The fully pressure proof probe is 5/8" (1.6cm) in diameter and is ideal for wells, piezometers and direct push equipment. The Sm.OIL will signal oil with a solid tone and light. The Sm.OIL will signal water with an intermittent tone and a flashing light.
Obtaining Product Measurements with the Sm.OIL
To obtain the measurement of the thickness of product floating on the surface of the water, lower the probe into the well until the tone and light signal liquid. If there is product present the electronic module will indicate with a solid tone and a solid light. Take your measurement by reading the tape at your datum point. Continue to lower the probe into the well, when the tone and light become intermittent you have encountered water. Pull the probe back up slowly taking your reading at the product/water interface. If no product is present in your well only the intermittent tone and light will signal. DNAPLS can be detected by continuing to lower the probe to the bottom of well noting any solid tone and light signals.

ReZeitKon (German acronym for Time Rebound, Time Wealth and Sustainable Consumption) is an interand transdisciplinary research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
ReZeitKon is a joint project between TU Berlin (Division of Economic Education and Sustainable Consumption), Leuphana University Lüneburg (Institute for Environmental Communication) and the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe.
The project is accompanied by an advisory board including prominent representatives of relevant civil society institutions who have a longstanding expertise regarding the relationship between time and resource use with regard to work, education and consumption.
The concept of time wealth is explored in a variety of academic disciplines since the 1990s. Also in society, we can observe an increasing awareness towards the importance of time and time use for quality of life.
The way people deal with time has manifold consequences for society and environment. Time wealth and sufficiency are closely interrelated and can reinforce each other, whereas a lack of time might induce negative environmental implications, for example compensatory consumption.
So far, the literature defines time-rebound effects as additional use of natural resources due to free time, which result from the application of efficient technology and practices or the reduction of working hours. In parallel to such additional environmental effects, a more intensive use of time often also increases subjective perceptions of time pressure.
The objective of the ReZeitKon project is to empirically analyse the importance of time-rebound effects for sustainable consumption. In addition, we develop and evaluate measures that increase time wealth and at the same time reduce time-rebound effects.

The International Society of Urological Pathology in 2010 recommended weighing prostates without seminal vesicles (SV) to include only prostate weight in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density (PSAD) calculation, because SV do not produce PSA. Large retrospective cohorts exist with combined weight recorded that needs to be modified for retrospective analysis. Weights of prostates and SV were separately recorded in 172 consecutive prostatectomies. The average weight of SV and proportion of prostate weight from combined weight were calculated. The adjustment factors were then validated on databases of 2 other institutions. The average weight of bilateral SV was 6.4 g (range = 1-17.3 g). The prostate constituted on average 87% (range = 66% to 98%) of the total specimen weight. There was no correlation between patient age and prostate weight with SV weight. The best performing correction method was to subtract 6.4 g from total radical prostatectomy weight and to use this weight for PSAD calculation. The average weights of retrospective specimens weighed with SV were not significantly different between the 3 institutions. Using our data allowed calibration of the weights and PSAD between the cohorts weighed with and without SV. Thus, prostate weight in specimens including SV weight can be adjusted by subtracting 6.4 g, resulting in significant change of PSAD. Some institution-specific variations may exist, which could further increase the precision of retrospective analysis involving prostate weight and PSAD. However, unless institution-specific adjustment parameters are developed, we recommend that this correction factor be used for retrospective cohorts or in institutions where combined weight is still recorded.

Nutritional Information about Farmer Cheese
Q: What is farmer cheese, and why does it have little or no calcium?
A: Also known as dry curd cottage cheese or baker cheese, this soft cheese is made from milk that is cultured (to curdle it) and then pressed to separate out the liquid whey, leaving behind the solid curds. It has little or no calcium because the calcium drains away with the liquid. So, too, does most of the lactose (milk sugar), making it a good option for people with lactose intolerance.
In effect, farmer cheese is just cottage cheese that is pressed to remove most of the moisture. (Cottage cheese has more calcium because it retains more of the liquid.)
An ounce (two tablespoons) of farmer cheese has about 40 to 50 calories (compared to 75 to 130 in most cheeses), 2 to 3 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein and little cholesterol. It has half the calories and less than one-third the fat of regular cream cheese. Farmer cheese has less sodium than other cheeses—about 120 milligrams per ounce; no-salt-added versions are also available.
There are many variations, made from different milk sources (cow, sheep, goat) and with different textures and flavors. But the cheese is generally mild and moist, yet still dry enough to slice or crumble. You can use it as a substitute for cream cheese, ricotta or feta cheese in recipes; sprinkle it over salads; or spread it on bread.

Definition of Wattage
Wattage is the measure of how much energy a marine light produces or uses, measured in watts (W).
You may be wondering what the difference is between watt and wattage.
Well, wattage is used to measure the energy consumed or produced, while watt is the unit of measurement used to express the wattage.
It's similar to how you measure (or guesstimate) the distance a boat travels. So, if someone were to ask, "How far did you sail?" you might respond, "About 50 miles."
The distance traveled can be compared to the wattage, and the measurement used to quantify the distance, the miles, is equivalent to the watts.
For example, the SeaBlaze LED underwater light requires 60 W to operate; hence, its wattage is 60 W.
Wattage is an important consideration when choosing light fixtures, as it affects the overall power consumption on your boat's battery. A higher wattage bulb doesn't necessarily mean more brightness, but it does cost more to run.
With LED lights, you can get highly efficient fixtures that have a high light output but use less power.
The Lumitec Kraken Underwater Dock Light, for instance, has a wattage of 60 W with a light output of 6,000 lumens. In contrast, a traditional incandescent light with a wattage of 100 W has a light output of 1,600 lumens.
Example of Wattage in a Sentence
"The wattage of a light fixture is 50 watts, which means it consumes 50 watts of electrical power to produce light."
Synonyms: power rating

Why do most landlords conduct regular building inspections in Melbourne?
The recent researches have proven that the number of landlords who carry out regular building inspection has greatly increased. However, there are still some landlords out there who think that inspecting their buildings is very expensive and they do not want to waste their money conducting the inspection. The truth is that it is essential as a landlord to conduct regular building inspections since at the end of the day; they are the people who will benefit from the inspection. Some of the people will wonder how the building inspections will benefit them, yet they will have to pay some money. However, if you get to talk to any landlord who has been conducting building inspections, they will tell you that they like it and that they are not wasting their money. In case there are landlords out there who want to find the goodness in building inspections, this article will discuss the reasons why they should also be among those conducting building inspections in Melbourne.
1. It ensures that you are aware of the conditions of your buildings.
Most of the landlords have so many buildings that they have rented to people, and because they do not live in those houses, it is very hard for them to know about the conditions of their buildings. For this reason, building inspections in Melbourne gives the landlords a chance to know the conditions of their houses even without living in them. The only thing that helps them know whether the ceiling, the floor, tiles, drainage systems and also lighting are in the right conditions are the building inspections. This is why most of the landlords will conduct the inspections regularly so that they can always have an understanding of their property.
2. To budget for repairs.
Repairs also require to be budgeted for like the other investments. For this reason, most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections for them to know which sections of their buildings require repairs so that they can budget for the repairs. It also enables them to ensure that they have done the repairs as early as possible and to avoid at all costs repairing them when it is too late for them since it will require more money and time to complete the repairs.
3. Building inspections attract more buyers.
Have you been wondering why other landlords have more tenants than you? Then one of the reasons is that they conduct regular building inspections, but you do not. Another reason why most landlords in Melbourne will conduct building inspections is to ensure that they have attracted as many tenants as possible. The number of tenants wanting to stay in your building will increase since they will have faith in you that there are no pests in your building, no defects and if the building has errors, you will work on them and lastly that their families will be safe in your building. However, if you do not conduct the inspection, the tenant will not trust whatever you tell them about your building since they have never seen you conducting inspections.
4. To find out the value of the building.
There are other times that landlords wish to sell their buildings. Without knowing the value of your building, it will be very difficult for you to sell the building at the right cost. For this reason, some landlords conduct building inspections to ensure that they know the real value of the building.
5. To ensure that they have insured their building.
For you to insure your building, you must ensure that you have done building inspections. For this reason, the landlords who need insurance covers for their buildings must conduct building inspections and work on the issues found during the inspection for the insurance company to accept insuring them. Gallo Property Inspection offer building inspections in Melbourne. They are glad to assist building owners and landlords.

Structural relaxation of amorphous germanium has been examined by molecular dynamics simulations based on the empirical Tersoff interatomic potential. Although the Tersoff potential overestimated both the melting and glass transition temperatures, it was found that this potential can reproduce the behavior of structural relaxation. The potential energy decreased with thermal annealing below the glass transition temperature, but it sometimes increased during structural relaxation. The mean square displacement of atoms also increased at the corresponding period. These changes were attributed to the cooperative atomic motion during structure relaxation. Atomic trajectories revealed that structural changes are induced by spatiallyand temporally-inhomogeneous atomic motions: atomic mobile and immobile regions coexisted during structural relaxation.

In'swine production' (pig farming), the verb 'Farrow' means to give birth to pigs. Needless to say, farrowing is something that only sows do.
The noun farrow means 'a litter of piglets'.
This is an interesting contrast when compared to its definition in regards to cattle farming, where it means a cow is 'not in calf', that is, not pregnant.

Origami cranes lift spirits of patients and staff
Borrowing from the ancient Japanese legend that promises good luck and healing to those who fold 1,000 origami cranes, the UC Davis Department of Radiation Oncology is now festooned with the tiny paper birds.
The crane-folding project was introduced to the busy cancer center clinic by oncology nurse Terri Wolf, who had learned of the custom from a Japanese friend.
"All I did was fold the first crane," she said. "Everyone in the department got involved -- academic faculty, clinical staff, receptionists and therapists."
Making a paper crane requires 25 folds and, once mastered, takes about five minutes.
In addition to their beauty, the cranes, and the efforts to make them, became a healthy distraction that has proven beneficial for both patients and staff, she said.
"Patients come in ask about them, and it gives us a chance to tell them the story and to get to know them a little better," she said. "Sometimes, I would sit in the exam room and show them how to make a crane. It would give me time to talk to them, and it was relaxing for the patient."
The crane legend was made famous in the book "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes," a story about Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who got leukemia as a result of radiation exposure after the bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. As the story goes, she folded 644 cranes before her death in 1955. In the book's version of events, her friends completed the cranes and buried all thousand cranes with her.
Many radiation oncology patients and family members have contributed to the crane-making project, including a 10-year-old who filled a grocery sack full of cranes in support of her cousin, a patient. Staff members also took part. The department's receptionist, Margie Carrillo, brought the paper home and spent the weekend with her children making cranes.
Crane-making featured prominently at this year's Cancer Survivors' Picnic, where volunteers taught all-comers the origami art.

The Problem
There are a number of different places jar files originate during execution of a transformation in the AEL engine:
 1. The set of jars in data-integration/lib
 2. Jars from spark-install/jars
 3. Jars from the hadoop classpath
 4. AEL jars in Karaf
 5. Jars from kettle plugins (OSGi and otherwise)
Library versions contained in these different locations can and will conflict in some cases. This can cause general problems where spark libraries conflict with hadoop libraries [1]. It also has the potential to create AEL specific problems [2].
Several bugs have arisen because of library conflicts, both within AEL code and from Spark generally:
OSGi is valuable specifically because it deals with these sorts of problems, and luckily most of AEL execution happens within Karaf. The places where we're vulnerable, however, are:
 1. Execution which occurs outside of the engine, not leveraging karaf (like SparkWebSocketMain).
 2. The set of packages specified by org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra (from karaf/etc/custom.properties). That is, the set of packages exposed from the framework classloader.
As of Pentaho 8.0, running AEL with Spark 2.1.0, the set of jars in conflict between spark-install/jars and data-integration/lib are the following 24 libraries:
PDI 8.0
SPARK 2.1.0

snappy-java-1.1.2.6.jar
validation-api-1.0.0.GA.jar
validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar
Of these, the set of packages exposed from the framework classloader boil down to these packages:
Code Block
com.sun.jersey.api.client
org.apache.commons.configuration
org.apache.commons.pool
org.apache.commons.pool.impl
org.apache.http
org.apache.http.client.utils
org.slf4j
Since these packages are provided via the framework classloader, and are loaded from indeterminate lib versions, there's inherent risk that undesired and unpredictable behavior could result.
Risk Mitigation
 1. Test specific Spark and Hadoop versions and recommend sticking to that set.
 2. Minimize usage of classes within the above packages. Update the list of potentially conflicting packages as new releases come out.
 3. Wherever possible, leverage classes injected via blueprint within AEL.
 4. Avoid usage of libraries that overlap with hadoop / spark libraries for any packages retrieved via the framework classloader.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University and Rice University have become the inaugural members of the Mauve survey programme. We are delighted to welcome Professor Keivan G. Stassun and Professor Christopher M. Johns-Krull who will be leading the respective research teams.
Mauve will deliver ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy data on hundreds of stars enabling scientists to break new ground in stellar research. The satellite, which has received funding from the European Commission, is currently under construction with partners C3S and ISISPACE and will launch in 2025.
Speaking with Blue Skies Space about his research interests, Professor Stassun said:
"Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Rice University have a long-standing interest in the study of accretion processes in young stars and magnetic activity in stars more generally, including in the context of understanding how stellar magnetism impacts the evolution of planetary atmospheres and habitability."
As founding members, researchers from Vanderbilt University and Rice University will join the Mauve science team, helping design and shape the science programme prior to the launch of the satellite.
Professor Stassun continued to say:
"Outside of seeking time on facilities such as Hubble, a resource that is in very high demand and short supply, Mauve will provide our research teams the ability to conduct observations of targeted systems in a way that will not be possible with any other dedicated facility for years to come. We also look forward to participating in other areas of exciting UV research led by other teams through Mauve's culture of scientific collaboration and esprit de corps."
The science team and survey working groups will continue to grow prior to launch, bringing a wealth of ideas and research experience into Mauve's three-year programme.

Greater Prairie Chicken
The greater prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) is a type of grouse. Native to central North America, the greater prairie chicken is extirpated in Canada, but continues to live in parts of the United States, in particular in Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. In Canada, the greater prairie chicken lived in southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as in southern and western Ontario. It was first listed as extirpated in 1990. The bird's disappearance in Canada was due primarily to the conversion of its natural habitat, grassland, to farmland. The greater prairie chicken is culturally significant to Siksika (Blackfoot) and Plains Cree First Nations in Canada, and lives on in their prairie chicken powwow dance.

Most travel guides simply call it the "shovel museum," but it's really the Stonehill Industrial History Center. Much more than shovels, curator Greg Galer tells us the collection reveals interesting facts about what we were building and how we built it over the past 200 years.
By the 1870s Ames was the largest shovel manufacturer in the world, making three-fifths of the world's shovels, although even as early as the 1830s and 1840s they struggled to meet the demand for their highly prized products. Ames shovels were the tool of choice in both the California and Australian gold rushes as well as in most major American building projects including the Erie and Panama Canals and most American railroad construction. Ames shovels literally built America.
Above is the Ames Centennial display of 19 silver-plated shovels as prepared for the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Amusingly, they're displayed in the original display case. Inside the vault with the rest of the collection, Galer proudly points out not only the typical shovels we're familiar with, but shovels designed for working coffee beans, 10-foot-long shovels used to dig telegraph pole holes, and tiny trenching shovels used by US troops in WWI and WWII.
But shovels are just a piece of the collection. Deeper in the vault are the business records, blueprints, patents and other materials that offer primary source documentation of America's early growth into an industrial superpower.

I've used this term previously and some people have asked "What exactly does VB'ified mean"?
VB'ified is a term I use to describe code that has been modified to "feel" like VB. This may sound simplistic at first glance; however, there's a lot of areas where this term apply. So let me point out a few of them:
Instead of blindly taking a C# Windows Form and converting it to VB, where much of the "Forms Designer Generated Code" may be scattered across a few area, refactor the code so that it is structured as if you created a new form from scratch using the designer. Switch code to use Handles instead of AddHandler/RemoveHandler. Utilize Form_Load where appropriate (yes, I use Form_Load since that is still the default event handler for a form when you double click on it... unless there is a specific reason for it to be avoided based on the project type).
Remove unnecessary Imports (ones that are already included by default in VB projects).
Utilize as much of the intrinsic functionality provided by the language. For example, use MsgBox instead of System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show. Use Handles instead of AddHandler (unless a reason to do otherwise). Use Cxxx instead of System.Convert.xxx. Use My functionality where possible/appropriate.
Code Format and Naming Guidelines
Of course, as I'm converting code, I make every attempt to conform to my own guidelines. ;-)
In the end, VB'ified refers to completely porting a project so it not only functions, but it appears as if it were originally written in VB; thus VB'ified.

The method number, in this case method=128, indicates which LDAPv3 bind method was used by the client. There are three possible bind method values:
0 = no authentication
128 = simple bind with user password
sasl= SASL bind using external authentication mechanism
The version number, in this case version=3, indicates the LDAP version number (either LDAPv2 or LDAPv3) that the LDAP client used to communicate with the LDAP server.
The error number, in this case err=0, provides the LDAP result code returned from the LDAP operation performed. The LDAP error number 0 means that the operation was successful. For a more comprehensive list of LDAP result codes see "LDAP Result Codes".
The tag number, in this case tag=97, indicates the type of result returned, which is almost always a reflection of the type of operation performed. The tags used are the BER tags from the LDAP protocol. Commonly used tags include:
tag=97 for a result from a client bind operation
tag=100 indicates the actual entry for which you were searching
tag=101 for a result from a search operation
tag=103 for a result from a modify operation
tag=105 for a result from an add operation
tag=107 for a result from a delete operation
tag=109 for a result from a moddn operation
tag=111 for a result from a compare operation
tag=115 indicates a search reference when the entry you perform your search on holds a referral to the entry you require. Search references are expressed in terms of a referral.
tag=120 for a result from an extended operation
tag=100 and tag=115 are not result tags as such. It is unlikely that you will see them in your access log.
Number of Entries
The number of entries, in this case nentries=0, indicates the number of entries that were found matching the LDAP client's request.
Elapsed time, in this case etime=1000, indicates the amount of time (in seconds) that it took Directory Server to perform the LDAP operation. An etime value of 0 means that the operation actually took milliseconds to perform. If you want to have microsecond resolution for this item in the access log, enter a value of 131328 (256+131072) in the nsslapd-accesslog-level configuration attribute.
LDAP Request Type
The LDAP request type indicates the type of LDAP request being issued by the LDAP client. Possible values are:
LDAP Response Type
The LDAP response type indicates the LDAP response being issued by the LDAP client. Possible values are:
REFERRAL=referral or search reference
Unindexed Search Indicator
The unindexed search indicator, notes=U, indicates that the search performed was unindexed, which means that the database itself had to be directly searched instead of the index file. Unindexed searches occur either when the All IDs Threshold was reached within the index file used for the search, when no index file existed, or when the index file was not configured in the way required by the search.
An unindexed search indicator is often accompanied by a large etime value, as unindexed searches are generally more time consuming.
Extended Operation OID
An extended operation OID, in this case either EXT oid="2.16.840._PHONE_.108.40.206" or EXT oid="2.16.840._PHONE_.127.116.11", provides the OID of the extended operation being performed. Table 8-1 provides the list of the LDAPv3 extended operations that are supported by Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2, and their OIDs.
Table 8-1 LDAPv3 Extended Operations Supported by Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2
Extended Operation Name
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x Start Replication Request
Sent by a replication initiator to indicate that a replication session is requested.
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x Replication Response
Sent by a replication responder in response to a Start Replication Request Extended Operation or an End Replication Request Extended Operation.
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x End Replication Request
Sent to indicate that a replication session is to be terminated.
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x Replication Entry Request
Carries an entry, along with its state information (csn and UniqueIdentifier), and is used to perform a replica initialization.
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x Bulk Import Start
Sent by the client to request a bulk import together with the suffix being imported to and sent by the server to indicate that the bulk import may begin.
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.x Bulk Import Finished
Sent by the client to signal the end of a bulk import and sent by the server to acknowledge it.
Change Sequence Number
The change sequence number, in this case csn=3b4c8cfb000000030000, is the replication change sequence number, indicating that replication is enabled on this particular naming context.
The abandon message, in this case, [06/Aug/2002:11:39:52 -0700] conn=12 op=2 ABANDON targetop=1 msgid=2 nentries=0 etime=0, indicates that an operation has been aborted, where nentries=0 indicates the number of entries sent before the operation was aborted, etime=0 indicates how much time (in seconds) had elapsed, and targetop=1 corresponds to an operation value from a previously initiated operation (that appears earlier in the access log).
There are two possible log ABANDON messages depending on whether the message ID succeeds in locating which operation was to be aborted or not. If the message ID succeeds in locating the operation (the targetop) then the log will read as above. However, if the message ID does not succeed in locating the operation or if the operation had already finished prior to the ABANDON request being sent, then the log will read as follows:
[06/Aug/2002:11:39:52 -0700] conn=12 op=2 ABANDON targetop=NOTFOUND msgid=2
where targetop=NOTFOUND indicates that the operation to be aborted was either an unknown operation or already complete.
The message ID, in this case msgid=2, is the LDAP operation identifier, as generated by the LDAP SDK client. The message ID may have a different value to the Sun ONE Directory Server Operation Number, but identifies the same operation. The message ID is used in the context of an ABANDON operation and tells the user which client operation is being abandoned.
The Sun ONE Directory Server operation number starts counting at 0. In the majority of LDAP SDK/client implementations the message ID number starts counting at 1. This explains why the message ID is frequently equal to the Sun ONE Directory Server operation number plus 1.
SASL Multi-Stage Bind Logging
Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 logging for multi-stage binds is now more explicit. Each stage in the bind process is logged and, where appropriate, the progress statement SASL bind in progress is included.
The authenticated DN (the DN used for access control decisions) is logged in the BIND result line and not in the bind request line:[06/Aug/2002:11:39:55 -0700] conn=14 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn="uid=coulbeck,dc=example,dc=com"
For SASL binds, the DN value displayed in the BIND request line is not used by the server and is, therefore, not relevant. However, given that the authenticated DN is the DN which, for SASL binds, must be used for audit purposes, it is essential that this be clearly logged. Having this authenticated DN logged in the BIND result line avoids any confusion as to which DN is which.
Access Log Content for Additional Access Logging Levels
This section presents the additional access logging levels available in the Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 access log.
In Code Example 8-2, access logging level 512, which logs access to entries and referrals, is enabled. In this extract, 6 entries and 1 referral are returned in response to the search request in bold.
Code Example 8-2 Access Log Extract with Entry Access and Referral Logging Level (Level 512)
[06/Aug/2002:16:43:02 +0200] conn=306 op=0 ENTRY dn="ou=Special Users,dc=example,dc=com"

Alabama Smith in the Quest of Fate is a hidden-object game that was first released in 2009. It is one of the games in the Alabama Smith series. Alabama Smith is an archaeologist who gets to visit different scenes in the past in order to solve different kinds of mysteries. This is possible through the use of a magical amulet. Items that need to be found are located at the bottom part of the main window. Tasks that players must complete are located at the bottom right. In this game, Alabama and his girlfriend are on a mission to find the Crystals of Fortune.
Aside from the hidden object aspect of the game, players also get the chance to solve different kinds of puzzles. Players must also find items that will be added to their inventory. These items will be useful throughout the game. Whenever players are stuck looking for an item in the game, players can use the hint feature. There is no limit to the amount of hints that the player can use, but players need to wait for the hint to recharge before using it again. The game also features several endings, so players can replay the game and get a totally different result.

We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by the electronic pulses of controlled duration and shape, which is launched onto the sample by a microstrip line. We used polarized optical pulses synchronous to the electronic pulses to measure the magneto-optical Kerr rotation. The system is integrated in a conventional upright microscope configuration with separate illumination, imaging, and magneto-optical probe paths. The system offers high stability, relative ease of alignment, sample changing, and a long range of time delay. We demonstrate the measurements of time-resolved dynamics of a Permalloy microwire and microdot using this system, which showed dynamics at two different time scales.

What are some alternatives to using acetate strips? I'm not interested in a specific application here, so feel free to give ideas for all types of techniques. Under what culinary circumstances, if any, can they be substituted with a silpat? Parchment paper? Other types of plastic?

Rarely. Acetates are usually used when you need a thin, flexible backing for whatever you're making. Silpats aren't nearly as flexible, and don't have a uniformly smooth surface; you will impart a texture to whatever you're making. And you can't really cut them into whatever shape you want. Parchment paper doesn't have the strength of acetate; you can't make rings out of it. Plus it will absorb some liquid, lowering its strength further.

text: Spectral diffusion as a result of both the transitions between different molecular conformers and the "molecular softness" of quasi-free perylene diimides on a SiO2 surface is investigated by means of single-molecule spectroscopy, which reveals the time dependence of both the fluorescence spectra and the three-dimensional orientation. Spectral wavelengths of all single emitters cover a wide energy range of about 0.27 eV, which is due to different types of conformers with large differences in optical transition energy. Time-dependent spectral trajectories of single emitters within this wavelength manifold are evaluated with a model transcribed from the analysis of spatial diffusion. Spectral diffusion processes are closely correlated with fluorescence emission and excitation power. The overall analysis of spectral diffusion reveals, similar to proteins, a hierarchy of energy barriers in a broad energy landscape.


Definitions for gas bladder
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word gas bladder
 1. gas bladder(Noun)
 An internal organ that fish use to control their buoyancy, allowing them to maintain or change depth by changing their density.
 1. Swim bladder
 The swim bladder, gas bladder, fish maw or air bladder is an internal gas-filled organ that contributes to the ability of a fish to control its buoyancy, and thus to stay at its current water depth without having to waste energy in swimming. Also, the dorsal position of the swim bladder means the center of mass is below the center of volume, allowing it to act as a stabilizing agent. Additionally, the swim bladder functions as a resonating chamber, to produce or receive sound. The swim bladder is evolutionarily homologous to the lungs. Charles Darwin remarked upon this in On the Origin of Species. Swim bladders are found in many bony fish, but are not found in cartilaginous fish. In the embryonic stages some species, such as redlip blenny, have lost the swim bladder again, mostly bottom dwellers like the weather fish. Other fish like the Opah and the Pomfret use their pectoral fins to swim and balance the weight of the head to keep a horizontal position. The normally bottom dwelling sea robin can use their pectoral fins to produce lift while swimming. The cartilaginous fish do not have swim bladders.

Samples of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) were taken from three locations Bali, North Sulawesi and North Maluku. The glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) was analyzed from liver using allozyme electrophoresis method. Polymorphism of GPI enzyme was observed and four alleles (A, B ,C, D) were found in Bali population, three alleles (A,B,C) were found in North Maluku and North Sulawesi populations. Heterozygosity values, from Bali, North Maluku and North Sulawesi were 0.419; 0.417; 0.143 respectively. Genetic distance between North Sulawesi and North Maluku were 0.029, and with Bali population was 0.353. These results indicated that North Maluku and North Sulawesi population were not separate by geographic barrier, therefore genetic distance of both populations was closed. However, those populations were genetically separated to the Bali population might be due to major hydrological barrier.

Quality of Life Model
Quality of Life (QoL) refers to the experiences one has on a daily
basis. High quality refers to being engaged with others in meaningful
daily activities and having a positive experience.
of Life is a subjective image that differs for everyone.
How you define quality in your life may be different than how I
define quality in mine. However,
each of us has the opportunity to define and
carry out our own values—which enables us to experience a high quality of life.
This right is overlooked in the lives of many of the
Individuals we serve. The Quality of Model was developed to
implement the principles of Gentle Teaching, giving Individuals with
disabilities the right to define and carry out their own values.
At Globe Star, we aim to mentor Individuals with disabilities
in achieving a quality of life that fosters interdependence, or the quality of
one's life with help.

Ethiopia is set to commence the second phase of its space strategic development roadmap, which involves the construction of satellite manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing (MAIT) facilities.
In a recent disclosure to Space in Africa, the General Director of the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute (ESSTI), Dr Solomon Belay, hinted that the Ethiopian government has reached an agreement with French space company, ArianeGroup, to commence the construction of MAIT facilities in Addis Ababa in January 2020 with a completion timeline of 30 months.
Dr Belay did not reveal the terms of the deal with ArianeGroup and the cost of the project.
However, a statement released by Ethiopia's Ministry of Innovation and Technology notes the "support" of European Investment Bank in the project, and a tripartite agreement between the Bank, the Ethiopian government and ArianeGroup.
Space Engineering Research and Development Directorate (SERDD), a division under the ESSTI, has been designated with a leading role of managing the MAIT centre and maximizing its capacity in developing indigenous satellite systems and components.
According to the strategic plan and development roadmap obtained by Space in Africa, to help realise the mission stated under Aerospace Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration, and Test Facilities Development segment, SERDD may concentrate on the "design, development and manufacturing of highly accurate, precise, portable, easily maintainable, replaceable, and automated MAIT equipments that may not only be used for aerospace industry but also other manufacturing industries".
The other facilities currently under construction is a mechanical and electrical laboratory. The Directorate believes that having these laboratories will aid in the research and development of new technologies in the aerospace field.
The project, when completed and put into operation, will be of great help not only to Ethiopia but also to the East African space sector. Ethiopian engineers will be involved in the project. It is expected to create technology and knowledge transfer.
In Africa, only South Africa and Algeria have functional AIT facilities. Egypt recently commenced the construction of its AIT centre in collaboration with China. Nigeria is also looking to complete its AIT facilities since it began the project over 8 years ago.

What Moves Aussie Dollar Currency Futures?
audusd price study
The Aussie dollar currency futures is very popular in the currency futures markets. If you plan to trade with this currency, it is important to have a look at its background.
The Australian decimal currency was introduced in 1966 to replace the Australian pound. The exchange rate at that time was set at $2.50 to the sterling pound. In 1967, Australia stopped pegging its currency to the sterling pound and pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 1 Australian dollar=1.12 US dollars.
It is worth noting that the paper currency is made from polymer, which makes counterfeiting difficult.
Daily Australian Dollar Prices (CME)
Chinese Economy Affects Aussie Dollar Currency Futures
The Australian economy is highly dependent on the extraction of mineral resources. 43 percent of mineral trading is done with north Asia while Southeast Asia accounts for 15 percent. The Chinese are also the biggest investors in the mineral extraction industry in Australia.
This demand from China has been used by many traders as a signal to trade in Aussie dollar currency futures.
Price Of Commodities
The rise of commodity prices leads to inflationary pressures in most developed countries. This is because the manufacturing sector is expected to suffer as raw commodities inputs became more expensive. The Australian dollar gains from currency futures traders taking long positions in Aussie dollar currency futures and shorting the currencies of affected countries.
audusd point and figure chart
Carry Trades
Because of the high interest rates, the Aussie dollar currency futures are a favorite of carry traders. Carry trades are taking long positions in the Aussie dollar versus a currency of a lower interest rate. Most of these are in Japanese yen, which has the lowest interest rate.
The carry trader profits from the interest gained overnight, and the gains in the Aussie dollar. Held over a long term, this is a simple strategy that guaranteed respectable profits.
Trade Balances
The flow of money out or into Australia affects the exchange rate of the Australian dollar. The outflow of Australian dollars puts downward pressure on the currency. This leads to a weakening of the currency on the global market. The opposite is true for the Australian dollar.
Inflationary Forces
High rates of inflation would make imported goods cheaper than locally produced goods. This would result in huge outflows of the Australian dollar as foreign goods are being purchased, leading to negative impact on the exchange rate.
Speculation On The Aussie Dollar Currency Futures
Speculation can affect the exchange rate significantly. In a situation where speculators are convinced the economy will falter, the Australian dollar will be sold. This will exert negative pressure on the currency leading to its value falling.
Regional Economies
Due to its strong ties to Asian economies, it is important to look at the demand of resources in India, Japan, and China. In the past, demand for commodities in these regions has an effect in the state of the Australian dollar.
Active Hours To Trade In The Aussie Dollar
In general, the most active trading hours are between the opening of the London markets at 8:00 GMT and the closing of the US market at 22:00 GMT. During this period the markets are busiest from 13:00 GMT to 16:00 GMT.
Government Intervention On The Aussie Dollar Exchange Rate
The reserve bank of Australia has raised interest rates by 0.25 percent. Analysts however expect the rates to be further raised to between 4.5 percent and 6 percent. The RBA expects to keep inflation between 2-3 percent. In addition the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.3 percent. This is good news for the Aussie dollar currency futures.

Horizontal curves are an integral part of the highway alignment. However, a disproportionately high number of severe crashes occur on them. One method transportation agencies use to reduce the number crashes at horizontal curves is the installation of curve warning signs which post an appropriate advisory speed. Appropriate curve advisory speeds can be determined using several methods. Some of these methods are time-consuming to perform and are error-prone. The purpose of this research was to find the most efficient and accurate data collection method for determining curve advisory speeds. Several processes were developed and tested. They were then validated against the results of a manual process referred to as the Direct Method and other traditional methods (such as the ball-bank indicator), which are generally assumed to produce accurate results. Comparing the results of these methods allow researchers evaluate their accuracy and usefulness for setting advisory speeds. The results illustrate the potential of a more user-friendly methodology that allows for efficient and accurate data collection. The advisory speeds determined by this research will assist the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to properly sign horizontal curves. Previous research suggests that posting appropriate advisory speeds results in a safer driving experience.

Saville Assessment
An international occupational psychology consultancy now part of Willis Towers Watson.
About Saville Assessment (a Willis Towers Watson company)
Founded by Peter Saville, co-foudner of SHL, Saville Assessment is an international occupational psychology consultancy. They are also a large player in test publishing of psychometric tests - which are used by companies large or small around the world. They personality questionnaires are particularly popular, as both these and their tests are known for their thorough research - making them well validated.
Formerly known as Saville Consulting, they rebranded themselves under the new name of Saville Assessment.
Prepare for Saville Assessment tests
Our practice test packs are suitable for preparing for Saville Assessment tests. Our practice tests come with solutions included.
Saville Assessment aptitude tests
Saville Assessment provide psychometric ability tests at most levels of position, and are known for their particular specification request. These tests include numerlca, verbal, abstract, mechanical and error checking. Given that Saville Assessment was founded under Peter Saville who also founded SHL, the tests are very similar. Saville Assesssment has tests with strong validity. We give a list here of the most commonly used Saville Assessment aptitude tests:
 - Verbal aptitude: Verbal reasoning tests will test your ability to understand and make logical deductions based on verbal/written data. Verbal psychometric tests used in selection usually take the form of a written passage followed by a series of questions with possible True, False or Cannot Say responses.
 - Numerical aptitude: The maths required in a numerical psychometric test is determined by the difficulty of GCSE level. The part required from you, is to interpret and figure out what calculation is required from the question, and under pressure of time. The topics are generally relevant to the workplace, meaning that the questions can be similar, and therefore realistic, to the role you are being recruited for.
 - Diagrammatic aptitude: Diagrammatic aptitude, oftentimes called inductive or abstract reasoning, involves noticing patterns as operations and applying them to diagrammatic situations. A candidate will typically be provided with a key and a set of diagrams and must fill in a missing operation in the sequence.
 - Error checking aptitude: Candidates will be provided with two sets of transposed data, with one set containing errors. These errors must be successfully identified by the candidate. Candidates will then be assessed on their ability to check and identify verbal, numerical and coding errors.
 - Spatial aptitude: Spatial aptitude is the ability to apply spatial judgement and visualise objects from multiple angles. These tests will assess candidates' ability to solve rotational and transformation problems, visualise objects and notice inconsistencies. This ability may be tested for positions requiring technical ability such as science and engineering.
 - Mechanical aptitude: The mechanical reasoning test measures a candidate's understanding of basic mechanical principles. This typically involves the use and application of devices such as gears, handles and pulleys.
Saville Assessment personality questionnaires
Saville Asssessment publish one of the most psychometrically valid personality questionnaires on the market, the Saville Wave ®. Their personality questionnaires assess personality and behavioural preferences in the workplace, and they generate a profile based on the self-reported data from the candidate themselves. These can be used to assess whether your personality is a good fit for the role being considered. Saville questionnaires include:
 - Wave ® Professional Styles: This 40 minute personality questionnaire gives an in-depth assessment of candidates' personality in the work place, providing a detailed report based on that profile, including strengths, areas for development and recommended culture-orientation fit.
 - Wave ® Focus Styles: The Focus styles is a shorter, 13 minute questionnaire, featuring the same questions as the professional styles, with the same objectives but with less questionnaire items.
Preparing for Saville Assessment psychometric tests
