Developer Console
Device Filtering and Compatibility
When you submit your APK into the Amazon Appstore, the attributes in your app manifest and build.gradle files determine what devices your app can be installed on. Incompatibilities between these files and a device's capabilities will prevent your APK file from being supported on that device. The sections that follow explain some of the filters that influence support for devices. You can also manually adjust the list of supported devices in the developer console.
Background Knowledge
Because Amazon's Fire OS is based on Android, Amazon tries to maintain as much parity with Android as possible. Because of this, the documentation here doesn't duplicate the information in the Android documentation; instead, it covers how Amazon and Fire OS differ. For a better understanding of the concepts here, consult these foundational Android documentation topics:
Key Terms Related to Device Filtering
The following are common terms used with device filtering in app submission.
For a more comprehensive glossary, see the App Submission Glossary.
Device Compatibility Determined by Your APK's Manifest
As with standard Android practices, the attributes in your APK's manifest and build.gradle files determine which devices are compatible with your app. For example:
 - If you set minSdkVersion=4 and smallScreens=false in the app manifest, the Amazon Appstore prevents the app from being installed on any device that doesn't support those requirements.
 - If your manifest declares a requirement for a camera feature (), any device that does not have a camera won't be compatible. Customers with incompatible devices will not see the app as available to be installed.
Using the filters in your APK's manifest, Amazon Appstore checks the hardware and software requirements for the customer's device as well as the carrier, location, and other characteristics. Amazon also looks at the geographic location availability requirements as specified in your app's metadata (which you select when publishing your app). If your app is compatible with the device according to the filter rules, your app is made available to the customer. If the app is incompatible, your app is hidden from search results and category browsing for that customer's device.
The following table shows examples of filters:
Filter Type Example
Filtering based on device compatibility If you state in the app manifest that the app requires GPS, the Amazon Appstore does not show the app to devices that do not have a GPS.
Filtering based on app availability If you state in the developer portal that your app should only be available in North America, the Amazon Appstore does not show the app to devices outside North America.
For a full list of supported manifest filters, see Manifest Filters Supported by the Amazon Appstore.
Support on Non-Amazon Devices
In addition to supporting Amazon devices, the Amazon Appstore supports non-Amazon devices as well. Your manifest and build.gradle file determine the filtering logic and device support on these devices as well.
To install Amazon apps on non-Amazon devices, customers do so through the Amazon Appstore for Android app. Customers might install your Amazon app on a non-Amazon device if they already purchased the app from Amazon Appstore and don't want to buy it again from Google Play, or if they have coins or subscriptions they purchased from Amazon and want to use them in the same app on other devices, such as Android tablets.
Fire OS and Android API Levels
Fire devices use Fire OS as the operating system. Since Fire OS is a custom version of Android, each Fire OS version corresponds to an Android API level. The first step in creating your app manifest is to specify the proper Android API level in the android:minSdkVersion attribute for the Fire devices you intend to target. For example, to target all 2013 and newer tablets, your manifest should contain an entry like this:
You can also set the Android API level using the android:targetSdkVersion attribute. The targetSdkVersion attribute designates a specific Android API level. To ensure that your apps run newer API levels with enhanced security and performance, Android enforces minimum API levels for targetSdkVersion. See Android documentation to learn more about minimum targetSdkVersion requirements.
As with Android devices, not all Fire devices have the same API level. For example, some Fire TV devices run on Fire OS 7 (based on Android API level 28), others run on Fire OS 6 (based on Android API level 25), and others run on Fire OS 5 (based on API level 22). Fire tablets have even more differences between API levels. See the following for specific API levels for different Fire devices:
Minimum API Levels for targetSdkVersion
Due to requirements from Android, on December 31, 2021, Amazon will enforce the following Android API level requirements for targetSdkVersion on Fire OS 6 and 7:
Fire OS Version Minimum API Level
Fire OS 6 25
Fire OS 7 28
You cannot submit new apps or update existing apps that do not meet the minimum API levels for targetSdkVersion on or after December 31, 2021. Any existing apps submitted to the Appstore will continue to work and be available for your customers.
See Fire OS documentation to learn more about setting minimum API levels:
Backwards and Forwards Compatibility Across API Levels
Android APIs are usually backwards compatible, meaning a device that supports Android Level 28 will support Levels 1 through 27. However, Android APIs are not forwards compatible, meaning Level 27 will not necessarily support all the functionality introduced in Level 28. As such, some features available in Fire OS 7 might not be supported in Fire OS 6. Some features in Fire OS 6 might not be supported on Fire OS 5, and so on. See the following for special considerations about how to develop for Fire OS 6 and Fire OS 7:
Evolving API Levels
Some Android API levels for devices change over time as Fire OS updates are deployed. For example, some versions of Fire tablets were initially released with Fire OS 6, but they were upleveled to Fire OS 7 later on through an over-the-air ("OTA") update process.
If your APK is compatible with multiple versions of Fire OS, in the element in your manifest, set your minSdkVersion to the lowest API level your device supports in order to ensure maximum compatibility with devices. If you set the minSdkVersion to 22, devices that support only level 19 and lower won't be compatible.
The Amazon Appstore also supports the android:maxSdkVersion attribute, which specifies the maximum allowed API level on the device. In most cases, use of this attribute is not needed unless there is a breaking incompatibility with a higher API level.
Common Hardware and Software Capabilities
After you specify the minSdkVersion, make sure your and elements are appropriate for the devices you want your app to be compatible with. Refer to specifications for Fire Tablets and Fire TV for specific hardware and software capabilities.
Be aware of implied (or unstated) feature requirements as well. As noted in the Android documentation, specifying for certain capabilities implies one or more elements, with android:required="true" assumed. Because the implied features are required, the APK will not be compatible with any device that does not provide those features, even if the app is designed to degrade gracefully when features aren't present.
To better understand implied features, consider this scenario. Your app uses the device's current location to find nearby gas stations. The app can get your current location from the device's GPS, but if GPS is not available, the user can input an address or location. To use the GPS, you should include this element in your manifest:
However, if you don't explicitly define the feature requirements, these elements are implicitly defined:
If you then provide this APK to the Amazon Appstore, only Fire tablets with built-in GPS capabilities (that is, with WAN, or wireless access networks) would be compatible. To be compatible with additional Fire devices, you should include these elements in your manifest but specify them as not required (provided your app functions correctly without GPS):
For a full list of permissions that cause implied features, see Permissions that Imply Feature Requests.
Device Filtering for Fire TV Devices
For Fire TV devices, the following manifest attribute identifies support for Fire TV:
This attribute indicates that the touchscreen feature is false. Fire TV devices do not support touchscreens and multi-touch capabilities, whereas phones and tablets do. As a result, you must declare this android.hardware.touchscreen attribute to be false for the Appstore to classify your app as compatible with Fire TV devices.
However, this classification isn't automatic. When you upload an APK designed for Fire TV devices, you must still manually select which devices your APK is compatible with in the developer console. See Adjust Device Support for your APK for details.
Device Filtering for Web Apps
Although device filtering based on your Android manifest is not available for web apps, you can still control the supported devices through a list of check boxes during the submission process. With web apps, even though you submit a URL to a website or upload a zip package with web files, the Amazon Appstore takes the web app and generates an Android app using a Cordova wrapper. This Cordova-packaged app is the an Android app that users download and install on their devices.
Web apps are compatible with all devices because in terms of Android APIs, they are very basic — there's one activity with a WebView into which web files or a URL is loaded, and the API level is set to 10 to gain the widest compatibility possible.

The Mud motor near Harlingen in the north of the Netherlands is an innovative building with nature project initiated by Ecoshape. Within the project it is tried to grow salt marshes with the help of sediment transport resulting from naturally occurring currents and dredged mud from the harbour of Harlingen. Shore has been commissioned to monitor the development of the Mud motor the first two years after completion
During a test pilot in the beginning of the project, Shore found out that photogrammetry led to less optimal results due to the limited contrast on the mud flats. Moreover, the relatively high number of required ground control point for photogrammetry proved to be problematic due to the limited accessibility of the mud flats.
Therefore, this project is executed with the UAV-LiDAR to make an accurate and high resolution DTM. The use of laser excludes to problem of limited contrast and the used RTK UAV limits the required number of ground control point. Simultaneously with the laser data, aerial images have been acquired for the composition of an orthophoto.

What Are Lantern Riddles And How to Solve Them Like A Chinese Scholar This Mid-Autumn!
Sharing is caring!
Lantern Riddles, also known as 灯迷(deng1 mi2), are riddles written on lanterns, slips of paper attached to lanterns or simply riddles displayed during Mid-Autumn festivals. Anyone can guess the answer to the riddles – if it doesn't befuddle them.
What are Lantern Riddles?
The lantern riddles often contain messages of wisdom and good fortune, they are a fun way of practising language and problem-solving skills. Hints are provided to indicate whether the answer is a person, place, thing or idiom. If you have tried solving the riddles, you might have required the "might of the tiger" since it was considered very challenging. Thus, lantern riddles were also called 文虎 (wen2 hu3) or 灯虎 (deng1 hu3).
When did the tradition of Lantern Riddles begin?
When did the tradition of Lantern Riddles begin?
It seemed to have begun in the 13th century when Zhou Mi's book "Memoirs of Life in Southern Song's Capital of Hangzhou" mentioned people attaching riddles to lanterns. The riddles were based on poems, folklore, historical events and even jokes about social issues. Scholars would write the riddles and the crowd would try to guess the correct answer. The riddle-solvers may even win a small gift.

Lantern riddles were even used by the emperor's advisers to make suggestions or give advice which the emperor may not like. If the suggestion did not go down well, the advisers would interpret the riddles in a different way. I cannot imagine the number of beheadings which happened if the riddles were too challenging. In modern-day China, some things remain unchanged as some Chinese netizens send lantern riddles ridiculing the government using messaging platforms escaping the wrath of the censors. Lantern riddles are certainly a covert means of communicating when Big Brother's watching.

Updated: Sep 26
When thoughts of Greece arise, ancient ruins, picturesque landscapes, and delectable Mediterranean cuisine dance through our minds.
Yet, there is an often overlooked facet of Greek culture that captivates the senses: their extraordinary spirits. Greek spirits, renowned for their distinctive flavors and rich heritage, invite both connoisseurs and adventurous souls on a delightful journey. In this article, we will delve into the captivating world of Greek spirits, from beloved classics to thrilling new additions, unraveling what sets them apart and makes them truly exceptional.
Classic Greek Spirits:
a) Ouzo: The undisputed monarch of Greek spirits, ouzo is an anise-flavored liqueur that embodies the essence of Greece. Whether sipped neat or diluted with water, it transforms into a milky white elixir, releasing an alluring aroma. Celebrated for its smoothness, ouzo is often enjoyed as an aperitif or alongside traditional meze dishes.
b) Tsipouro: Similar to Italian grappa, tsipouro is a grape pomace distillate crafted in various regions of Greece, each showcasing unique regional characteristics. Traditionally savored as a digestive, tsipouro offers a robust, fruity flavor that warms the soul.
c) Raki: Referred to as "tsikoudia" in Crete, raki is a grape-based brandy that embodies the vibrant essence of the Mediterranean. Often served in small, shot-like glasses, raki is an integral part of Cretan hospitality, extending an invitation to celebrate.
New Greek Spirits:
a) Mastiha: Derived from the resin of the rare mastiha tree on the island of Chios, mastiha liqueur is a recent addition to the realm of Greek spirits. Its distinctive flavor, reminiscent of pine and citrus, lends a unique touch to cocktails, desserts, or even solo enjoyment.
b) Tentura: Originating from the city of Patras, and made popular by Hahalis Distillery, tentura is a spiced liqueur with a history dating back to the 15th century. Harmoniously blending cinnamon, clove, and other secret spices, it results in a warm, aromatic spirit. Tentura is often relished as a digestif or used as a flavoring agent in desserts
c) Kitron: An indispensable part of the lively island of Naxos, kitron is a citrus liqueur crafted from the leaves of the kitron tree. With its refreshing and zesty character, kitron serves as the perfect companion during warm summer evenings, beautifully complementing the island's sunny ambiance.
What Sets Greek Spirits Apart and Makes Them Exceptional?
a) Distillation Techniques: Greek spirits frequently employ traditional distillation methods, allowing the flavors of the raw ingredients to shine through. This time-honored approach, passed down through generations, adds an authentic touch and showcases the artistry in every bottle.
b) Local Ingredients: Greece's diverse geography and fertile lands gift an abundance of unique ingredients. Whether it be the anise in ouzo or the aromatic herbs in mastiha liqueur, Greek spirits capture the essence of the regions they originate from, showcasing the bounties of the land and sea.
c) Cultural Significance: Greek spirits possess deep cultural roots, interwoven with ancient traditions, celebrations, and hospitality. They embody conviviality, bringing people together and evoking warmth, friendship, and shared joy.
A New Addition to the Greek Spirits Family: Kavo - Greek Rum
Adding to the vibrant tapestry of Greek spirits is a recent development that has piqued the interest of spirit enthusiasts worldwide – Kavo, the world's first Greek rum. Although Greece may not be the first country that comes to mind when contemplating rum production, this exciting creation embraces the essence of Greek terroir by utilizing locally sourced ingredients. Crafted from Greek sugarcane and infused with a medley of botanicals from the enchanting Greek islands, this unique rum is a captivating addition to the Greek spirits landscape.
Immersed in the concept of "terroir," Kavo rum is deeply rooted in the country's diverse agricultural heritage. The use of Greek sugarcane bestows upon it a distinctive character that distinguishes it from its Caribbean counterparts. Nurtured by the Mediterranean sun, the fertile Greek soil imparts a subtle sweetness and earthiness to the rum, creating an unparalleled flavor profile.
What further sets Kavo rum apart is the infusion of Greek-island botanicals. Each Greek island boasts its own distinct ecosystem, offering an array of aromatic herbs and plants. These carefully selected and expertly combined botanicals contribute to the complexity and depth of flavors found in Greek rum. Whether it's the fragrant hints of citrus from the island of Zakynthos or the herbaceous notes from Santorini, these botanicals weave a tapestry of Greek island magic into every sip.
Greek spirits are not merely alcoholic beverages; they epitomize an immersive cultural experience, fusing history, tradition, and remarkable flavors. From beloved classics like ouzo and tsipouro to the emerging stars such as mastiha, kitron, and rum, each sip tells a tale of Greece's rich heritage and the passion of its people. Embark on a journey of discovery, allowing your taste buds to be enchanted by the diverse and ever-evolving world of Greek spirits. Yamas! (Cheers!)

The UC/L Structure groups CDs together to form defined areas according to population size criteria. The resulting areas are known as Urban Centres or Localities. Population counts (place of enumeration) from the latest Census of Population and Housing are used to define the UC/L Structure which means this classification structure is only current at the time of the Census. Both the Urban Centre and the Locality spatial units are made up of one or more contiguous CDs. As the UC/L Structure relates to CDs within defined areas only, the structure, in aggregate, does not cover all of Australia.
The UC/L Structure is used for the production of standard ABS statistical outputs from Population Censuses such as Selected Social and Housing Characteristics for Urban Centres and Localities (cat. nos 2016.0-7), CDATA 2001 (cat. nos 2019.0.30._PHONE_.8.30.001).
The UC/L Structure is separate from the Main Structure because:
The UC/L Structure is defined at Population Census times only. It comprises in ascending hierarchical order: CDs-Urban Centres/Localities.
- the boundaries do not generally coincide with SLAs and the higher level spatial units in the Main Structure
- its total area covers only part of Australia.
CDs within this structure are confined to those within defined Urban Centre and Locality boundaries. As a consequence, Urban Centres and Localities aggregate to cover only part of a state or territory and thus the structure covers part of Australia only.
Urban Centres may be bisected by an S/T boundary. Where this occurs each portion of the urban centre is separately identified and is included in the Urban Centre/Locality Structure for the relevant S/T. For example, the urban centre of Albury-Wodonga is partly in New South Wales and partly in Victoria. One part is shown under New South Wales and the other under Victoria.
Urban Centres and Localities are delimited by the use of actual population counts after each Census is conducted. The Urban Centres and Localities determined following the 2001 Census are listed in the publication Statistical Geography: Volume 3 - Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) Urban Centres/Localities, 2001 (cat. no. 2909.0).
In this table, Urban Centre and Locality names are listed alphabetically and UC/L codes are arranged in ascending numerical order within each S/T. The suffix (L) is shown after Locality names to distinguish Localities from Urban Centres.
THE SPATIAL UNITS
Census Collection District (CD)
For discussion about this spatial unit see Main Structure.
Urban Centre/Locality (UC/L)
In broad terms, an Urban Centre is a population cluster of 1,000 or more people while a Locality is a population cluster of between 200 and 999 people. For statistical purposes, people living in Urban Centres are classified as urban while those in Localities are classified as rural.
Each Urban Centre/Locality has a clearly defined boundary and comprises one or more whole CDs. Urban Centres/Localities are redefined at each Population Census.
Delimitation of Urban Centres and Localities
The delimitation criteria for UC/Ls are based on those developed in 1965 by Dr GJR Linge from the Australian National University. The criteria that are currently in force have been adopted and subsequently amended by the Conferences of Statisticians of Australia in 1965 and 1969 and the Review of ABS Statistical Geography in 1988.
Delimitation of Urban Centres with 20,000 or more people
The criteria are as follows:
Delimitation of Urban Centres with 1,000 to 19,999 people
Each Urban Centre with a population between 1,000 and 19,999 is to be delimited as follows:
- Each Urban Centre with a population of 20,000 or more is to consist of a cluster of contiguous urban CDs and other urban areas. CDs classified as urban include the following:
- All contiguous CDs which have a population density of 200 or more persons per square kilometre shall be classified as urban. Consequently State, SD, LGA and other administrative boundaries shall be disregarded in determining whether a CD should be included within the Urban Centre.
- A CD consisting mainly of land used for factories, airports, small sports areas, cemeteries, hostels, institutions, prisons, military camps or certain research stations shall be classified as urban if contiguous with CDs which are themselves urban.
- A CD consisting mainly of land used for large sporting areas, large parks, explosives handling and munitions areas, or holding yards associated with meatworks and abattoirs shall be classified as urban only if it is bordered on three sides by CDs which are themselves classified as urban.
- Any area which is completely surrounded by CDs which are urban must itself be classified as urban.
- Where an Urban Centre of 20,000 or more population is separated from another urban area by a gap in urban development of less than three kilometres (by the shortest railway or road distance), the gap shall be bridged by classifying a connecting CD as urban, and therefore treating the urban areas as one. If the gap is three or more kilometres (and whether or not it is comprised mainly of reserved land or a natural barrier) the urban areas shall remain separate.
- Any area included in an Urban Centre in 1971 or thereafter under the provisions of these criteria shall continue to be so included, unless the population of the Urban Centre falls below 20,000, in which case these criteria will cease to apply.
- If a CD was incorrectly included (for whatever reason) in a Linge area at a previous census, then it should be excluded at the next census unless it now meets the criteria.
- Large peripheral CDs in growth areas may be fragmented; and insofar as the availability of visible boundary features allows, the fragments so created shall be as near square-shaped as possible, contain at least 100 persons at the next census and be of such a size that they will contain a collector's workload when fully developed. For the purpose of delimiting Urban Centres such fragments shall be regarded as CDs.
Delimitation of Localities
Localities are to be delimited as follows:
- The Urban Centre shall be delimited subjectively by the inspection of aerial photographs, by field inspection and/or by consideration of any other information that is available.
- All contiguous urban growth is to be included (even if this would not necessarily occur if the density criterion were applied), together with any close but non-contiguous development which could be clearly regarded as part of the Urban Centre. However, for Urban Centres which contain a population approaching 20,000 the objective criteria applied for Urban Centres with 20,000 people should also be considered.
Guidelines for the drawing of subjectively determined UC/L boundaries are as follows:
- All population clusters of less than 1,000 population and whose population is expected to reach 200 by the next census are to be examined for boundary delineation.
- The following criteria must be satisfied before a boundary is drawn around a Locality. It must:
- contain a non-farm population of at least 200 people but not more than 999 by the next census
- have a minimum of 40 occupied non-farm dwellings with a discernible urban street pattern
- have a discernible nucleus of population.
- If there is some doubt that a Locality will reach the minimum population of 200 people then a boundary should still be drawn around the Locality.
- Where, in the case of defence camps, construction camps, etc. it is anticipated that the cluster will not exist at two consecutive censuses, these camps should not be bounded.
- The Localities shall be delimited subjectively, by the use of the latest available aerial photographs, by field inspection and/or by consideration of any other information that is available.
UC/L name and code
When Urban Centres cross S/T boundaries, the separate portions of the Urban Centre are uniquely identified and reported in their relevant S/T.
- Wide rather than narrow boundaries are to be used to ensure inclusion of all urban or built-up areas. Some rural area can be included in an Urban Centre, if necessary, to ensure that the boundary encompasses all the urban area. However, this guideline should be interpreted in the light of the ones that follow.
- Continuity of urban development is a major consideration. Boundaries are not to be thrown very wide just to include some small non-contiguous area of urban development. (The Linge criterion of three kilometres may be of assistance in this respect in larger Urban Centres of say greater than 10,000-15,000 population).
- Where the subjective boundaries decided upon are contained within a municipal boundary and the remaining area or population is small, the municipal boundary is to be used.
- For previously bounded cities, towns or localities the boundaries are not to be changed lightly. Comparability is to be maintained with the past unless there are significant exclusions (either due to faulty boundaries at the previous census or subsequent development).
- When considering urban land usage, recognition should be given to approved plans.
- Topographic boundaries must be used wherever possible when they are consistent with the above guidelines.
UC/Ls are identified by a five-digit code which is only unique within each State/Territory. Use of UC/L codes in conjunction with S/T codes is necessary before these codes become unique across Australia.
The codes 00000 and 99999 are reserved as Rural Balance and Off-Shore and Migratory codes, respectively, for the S/Ts NSW, Vic., Qld, SA, WA, Tas. and NT.
The code 99999 is not applicable for the ACT or the OT as off-shore

UA Archives commemorates Civil War Sesquicentennial08/26/2014
More than 200 rare letters from The University of Akron archival collections that document the War Between the States were digitized to commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial and are now available online. Kent State University School of Library and Information Science student Adam Wanter implemented the project under the direction of UA Archival Services faculty and staff.
A letter in the Joseph Sailor Collection.
The letters represent four distinctly different collections held in Archival Services: The William McCollam Papers, the John J. Polsley Papers, the Joseph Sailor Letters and the Alvin Coe Voris Letters.
The letters cover military and camp life of both soldiers and officers, battles and skirmishes, and soldiers' and citizens' thoughts on the war as it unfolded. These collections and other resources on the history of the Civil War can be viewed online at University Libraries Archival Services Digital Collections.
"The letters document the profound effects the war had on the people of Ohio and the region," says UA archivist S. Victor Fleischer who heads UA Archival Services and serves as an associate professor of bibliography. "Digitizing the letters not only helps to commemorate the war and honor the contributions of Ohioans, but also brings their experiences to light in order to educate a new generations of Americans about this important time in our nation's past,"
About the Civil War Sesquicentennial
The 150th anniversary of the American Civil War is being commemorated by a number of organizations, both locally and nationally, including the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution and the Ohio Historical Society.

Equine Water Systems
Water Filtration and Purification for Horses
Vibrant water has been working vigilantly with professionals in the Equine Industry and have developed a number of Equine Water Systems. Our system is designed for two purposes:
Producing healthy and safe water:
- Removing Bacteria
- Removing Nitrates
- Removing Fluorides (proven very dangerous for horses)
- Removing Chlorine and Chloramines
- Removing volatile organics, oils and other unwanted chemicals.
Improve the taste of the water, making it more desirable for the horse to drink.
- Improved Hydration and Electrolyte Balance
- Improved Performance and Recovery through better hydration.
University Case Studies show that all animals will drink more water if they like the taste, resulting in better hydration.
Water aids in digestion and elimination of waste. Drinking more water will assist in the prevention of impaction colic. In addition, drinking healthy water will reduce the possibility of colic from harmful things in the water such as chemicals, organisms and volatile organics.
Vibrant's Equine Hydration System has been designed to be portable if needed. If there is no water supply, you can take your own bottles with you while you are competing to assure your horse continues to be hydrated with the high quality water it has been accustomed to.
Features and Specifications of the Equine Hydration System:
- 2.5" x 20" five micron filtration with spun polypropylene replaceable cartridge
- 2.5" x 20" cartridge with KDF for chlorine reduction and coconut shell activated
- carbon to remove volatile organics, tastes and odors.
- a ESF Scale preventer. Proprietary catalytic/magnetic to prevent scale prevention in reverse osmosis membrane.
- Pressure Boost Pump. Non-metallic pressure head. Can operate dry.
- Reverse Osmosis Membrane, 2.5" x 14" Thin film (polyamide) 150 gallon per day
- 3.2 gallon hydro pneumatic storage tank. Field adjustable
- Proprietary Ultra Violet Disinfection. Calculated Fluence 40mJ/cm2 @ 3 GPM.
- Lamp in air with vents for cooling, Water in a FEP thermoplastic coil. Used for final
- sterilization of water and prevents cross contamination of water in the hydro-pneumatic tank.
- Oxygen injected for accelerated hydration.
- Electrolyte injection system available
- Equine Model E-150 Water Treatment System
- Proven Enhanced Performance through better hydration
- Help prevent colic through better hydration
- Help prevent colic and overall health by removing dangerous
- Removes 90% of all elements dissolved in water.
- chemicals and volatile organics from the water.
- Can be up fitted for bottled water for humans.
- 150 gallons per day system. Can be sized to fit your barn or draining facility up to 30,000 gallons per day.
We recently installed Vibrant's Equine Hydration System at our barn. My Quarter Horse, Cody has always been in peak condition. When it comes to barrel racing, one hundredth of a second can cost you. We have monitored the amount of water he is drinking and it has increased dramatically. Cody has been running his best times consistently, he is more focused, with a much shorter recovery time as well. I believe being better hydrated results in Cody's increased performance and I am more comfortable knowing he is drinking water for his overall well being. I have 5 gallon bottles I take with me to make sure he gets the water during competitions and rodeos as well." Ashley Porter, WPRA, NBHA member.

[Recipients_Women who suffer from inferiority complex]
Everyone has some kind of and some degree of inferiority complex. No human being is perfect, but if you think that you must be a perfect person in every aspect, it indicates that you may have the sense of pride which is another way for inferiority complex to be manifested. Such people are considered to have higher degree of inferiority complex than other people. Especially in women, excessive interests in and worries about appearance are a common type of inferiority complex. Such inferiority complex may also be manifested as over-confidence on their appearance. Women's inferiority complex on appearance indicates that psychological wounds are operating to be manifested as compulsion, anxiety, suppression, and then to be transfered to overly focusing on appearance at the conscious level.
It is only natural that we all have some degree of inferiority complex, which drives us to make efforts to overcome it and pursue happiness and self-actualization. However, excessive inferiority complex which includes excessive self-confidence and pride make us suffer from diverse individual and relational problems. The root cause of women's inferiority complex is psychological wounds in the unconscious, and it actually aggravates the condition when you are overly self-conscious and attempt various practical solutions.
It must be also noted that what you consider as your weaknesses can be considered as your strengths from other people's point of view. Women with inferiority complex tend to have a distorted idea that what they consider as their weaknesses are also viewed so by other people. When you are conscious about your weaknesses, you are activating negative thoughts and emotions. Then, you may try to get out of the negative thoughts and emotions by getting immersed into positive moods. However, it serves only as a temporary solution through diversion, but wounds in mind continue to stay and keep operating. When you get used to diversions by temporarily transfering to positive moods, you become to seek more and more fun and pleasure and become even more self-conscious about your weaknesses. Therefore, women with inferiority complex need to adjust their unconscious to achieve balanced psychological operation instead of depending on diversions.
This mechanism may apply to women who :
- Feel that their appearance is not good enough
- Are physically challenged
- Think they are not smart enough
- Feel that they are not successful enough
- Feel that they are not loved and not happy
- Think that their past life is a failure
- Feel that they are not sexy or have no sexual ability
- Have failed in diet many times
- Have had plastic surgery repeatedly or are thinking about getting it
- Think that they look much better than other women
- Have become self-confident after getting plastic surgery
Many women who suffered from inferiority complex restored happy mind and turned their weaknesses into strengths by adjusting their unconscious through KIP Psychology Treatment Training. In addition, many of them were able to direct themselves to the life path they wanted and actually achieved what they have dreamed of after taking KIP Psychology Treatment Training.
Also, when you achieve balanced psychology by adjusting your unconscious, your efforts for desired physical appearance such as diet and exercises may bring about much better results than when your psychology operates in an unbalanced way. KIP Psychology Treatment Training will help you accurately understand the operational mechanism of human mind and psychology and build the ability to restore your mind and psychology at the unconscious level.

Let's say you were building a marketplace and you wanted to take some type of commission for allowing a user to sell a thing on your marketplace....how exactly does that work? Is there some type of template you can use that allows a person to pay you a commission, but then receive the payment for the sale of their item?
I don't know of any template, but this can be done relatively easily with solidity. Consider the dummy code below:
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
/*your code here*/
// private function because it simply calculates commission and pays out accordingly.
// Inputs & other validation likely will come from somewhere else in the contract.
function takeCommission(address seller, address platform, uint256 amountPaid, uint256 commissionPercentage) private {
 // ensures the minimum amountPaid is at least 100 wei and is accurately divisible
 require(amountPaid % 100 == 0);
 // divide by 100 because commission percentage is expressed as a uint
 uint256 platformFee = (amountPaid * commissionPercentage) / 100;
 amountPaid -= platformFee;
Just knowing the commission percentage and what was paid lets you calculate it within a function, then you can call the.transfer() function twice with the respective values.

Pellet Prices Remain Stable and Favourable
The cost of the raw material, sawdust, accounts for the largest portion of the pellet price.
How will the prices for pellets develop in the future? Wood pellets are significantly cheaper than oil or gas, and their price will remain stable in the long term. Unlike fossil fuels, wood pellets are made from an abundant and renewable resource. Furthermore, pellet prices are not influenced by political and global crises, i.e. pellets are not a commodity subject to economic speculation.
The price for FireStixx pellets is made up of the following costs:
- Costs for raw materials: approx. 40%
- Costs for storage, logistics and sales: approx. 30%
- Production costs, i.e. drying of the raw materials and palletisation: approx. 30%


Ultrastrong topology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In functional analysis, the ultrastrong topology, or σ-strong topology, or strongest topology on the set B(H) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space is the topology defined by the family of seminorms
p_\omega(x) = \omega(x^{*} x)^{1/2}
for positive elements \omega of the predual L_{*}(H) that consists of trace class operators. [1]:68
It was introduced by von Neumann in 1936. [2]
Relation with the strong (operator) topology[edit]
The ultrastrong topology is similar to the strong (operator) topology. For example, on any norm-bounded set the strong operator and ultrastrong topologies are the same. The ultrastrong topology is stronger than the strong operator topology.
One problem with the strong operator topology is that the dual of B(H) with the strong operator topology is "too small". The ultrastrong topology fixes this problem: the dual is the full predual B*(H) of all trace class operators. In general the ultrastrong topology is better than the strong operator topology, but is more complicated to define so people usually use the strong operator topology if they can get away with it.
The ultrastrong topology can be obtained from the strong operator topology as follows. If H1 is a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space then B(H) can be embedded in B(HH1) by tensoring with the identity map on H1. Then the restriction of the strong operator topology on B(HH1) is the ultrastrong topology of B(H). Equivalently, it is given by the family of seminorms
x \mapsto \left( \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||x\xi_n||^2 \right)^{1/2},
where \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||\xi_n||^2 < \infty.[1]:68
The adjoint map is not continuous in the ultrastrong topology. There is another topology called the ultrastrong* topology, which is the weakest topology stronger than the ultrastrong topology such that the adjoint map is continuous.[1]:68

Sodom-apple plants.
While elephants ate an enormous amount of Solanum seeds, they also often destroyed the entire plant, ripping it out of the ground and stuffing the whole bush into their mouths. The model showed that to offset the damage an elephant wreaks on a plant, 80 percent of the seeds the animal eats would have to emerge from it unscathed. On top of that, each seed would have to be 10-times more likely to take root than one that simply fell to the ground from its parent.
Impalas, on the other hand, can have a positive overall effect on the plants, the researchers found. Impalas ate the majority of the fruit consumed — one impala ate 18 fruit in just a few minutes. But they do not severely damage the parent plant while feeding and also spread a lot of seeds in their dung. Of the seeds eaten by an impala, only 60 percent would need to survive, and those seeds would have to be a mere three-times more likely to sprout than a seed that simply fell from its parent.
"A model allows you to explore a space you're not fully able to reach experimentally," said Tarnita, who uses math to understand the outcome of interactions between organisms. "Once you've explored it, however, the conclusions and predictions need to be confronted with reality. This model helped us conclude that although it is theoretically possible for elephants to benefit the plant, that outcome is extremely unlikely."

"Words can only evoke things," one dancer says to the camera early in Pina
. "That's where dance comes in." This Oscar-nominated documentary puts that ethos to the test; presenting a breathtaking string of world-class dances in tribute to celebrated German choreographer Pina Bausch. Fellow German Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire
) directs, presenting the film in a startlingly vivid 3D. The technology, so often applied to summer blockbusters for cheap thrills, once again proves its usefulness to the artistic side of cinema. The grace within the dancers' bodies, both fragile and strong, bursts through the screen and immerses the viewer. Each dancer also gets the chance to reflect on their own memories of working with Bausch---who died shortly before the film was shot---while performing individual routines composed in her honour and filmed around various contrasting German locations. Pina
is a testament to a life impressively dedicated to art, and presented the way one imagines Bausch would have wanted; not with words, but with movement.

How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Last Updated on June 10, 2022 by Bernard Juchli
It feels strange that you can modify your car to run on alcohol fuel. Truthfully, alcohol can be your fuel source in the absence of gas. You will no longer experience a gas shortage, join the queue at the pump or get to pay higher fuel prices. Some farm tractor makers still produce alcohol engines. However, they are export only, so you do not get to see them around.
How to modify your car to run on alcohol fuel
Looking at the current state of international politics, you can see that imported crude oil is affected and the cost is always on the rise. With alcohol, you no longer have to rely on crude oil to power your vehicle. Apart from consuming alcohol during an event, it can also relieve the pain of refilling gas.
Meanwhile, nearly all gasoline-powered engines can run on alcohol as fuel and you require just minor and inexpensive engine modifications to get started. If you have decent mechanical skills alongside the hand tools, this engine modification would be even easier.
What Are the Different Types of Alcohol Fuel?
Some centuries ago, some automakers manufactured vehicles that run on alcohol fuel. The Ford Model T, for instance, could run on alcohol, gas, or both but this was not the case after top oil companies influenced manufacturers into using gasoline.
Below are the two types of fuel alcohol:
 - Ethanol
 - Methanol
To build your vehicle engine to run on alcohol fuel, ethanol alcohol is the best option. Ethanol is made by fermenting sugars from organic sugar materials, including rice, corn, wheat, and sugarcane.
Methanol, on the other hand, can be distilled from wood and is commonly used in Indy-type race vehicles. It can also be sourced from petroleum but is toxic and can result in ingestion. Although methanol can power your car engine, it produces less energy than ethanol.
Can You Distil Alcohol Fuel at Home?
Yes, you can distill alcohol fuel from home, and is perfectly legal. You can distill alcohol as low as 40¢ per gallon according to your still size, grain cost, and fuel you use for powering it. So, how do you make distilled alcohol? You may check Instructables' guide for creating distilled oil.
Alternatively, you can buy alcohol from most wholesale chemical supply companies. Alcohol you buy from a supplier is denatured, and this means that the manufacturer meets the government-approved standard make the alcohol unfit for consumption. Denatured alcohol should be treated like gasoline because it is poisonous and not fit for human consumption as food.
You would have to refer to the supplier to know the price but you can budget $1,000 (this price is stipulated and subject to change) for a 55-gallon drum of 200-proof ethanol. It is economical to purchase in bulk and save money. Most suppliers sell differently, so you want to compare the prices from various companies to save more money.
How to Modify Your Car to Run on Alcohol Fuel
For a start, you want to try this out on a vintage car. It also works on boats, lawnmowers, farm implements, emergency generators, and motorcycles. You can also buy a cheap car from Craigslist to test the project before extending it to your primary vehicle.
 1. Prepare your vehicle and conversion materials
Decide what car to use for this conversion. Of course, it must be a car that runs on gasoline. It should be your rickety but functional car.
If you have none, you can invest a few hundred dollars to get it online. You need an old car that barely runs or that you rarely use. Make sure not to use a vehicle you would need for transportation because the adverse effect of alcohol on the vehicle can stop it from running. Besides, you are not using gasohol here but alcohol which is far different from the gasoline your car is designed for.
The tools you basically need include the following:
 - Carburetor
 - Overhaul kit for carburetor
 - T valve
 - Manual choke kit
 - Fuel hose
 - Barb fittings (about 3) for fuel hose
 - Teflon tape
 - Sizeable gallon tank
 - Spark plugs
 1. Modify the fuel line
We assume that you have decided whether to make this fuel to alcohol conversion permanent or be able to use gasoline when it is readily available.
If you are converting your car to run on alcohol permanently, you have to modify the gas tank to alcohol. In this case, you will dry out and replace the gasoline with alcohol. You do not need a mixture of gas and alcohol. The reason is that both materials will not mix unless you completely get rid of water in the alcohol.
If you want the car to run on gasoline, then you want to install a dual-fuel system.
In this tutorial, we make the alcohol tank from a 5-gallon heavy-walled Nalgene plastic container. You can also use a metal container if you have any around. The size of the container depends on your car and what you want and you can mount it on the vehicle roof or trunk. Regardless of what you use for your alcohol tank, you need something sturdy, clean, and leakproof.
 1. Install a pickup tube for the fuel tank
You need to mount a pickup tube with a similar outside diameter as the existing fuel lines. You can measure the tube at about 1/16" from the bottom of your tank make it protrude at about 1" from the top. You will also need a vent tube for air to replace the liquid whenever it is consumed so that the tank does not collapse. Create a hole on the tank sizeable for the vent and fuel lines epoxy. You can also braze your pickup tube in place to the pipe plug depending on what material you use.
Install the tank. Place the tank where you want it in the car. Ensure to strap or fasten it securely to prevent the tank from overturning. You can weigh it in-between your back seats or anything to stop it from shaking. After mounting the tank, you want to make sure you can connect it to the existing fuel line. You can use a T-shaped valve, either the manual or electric valve with 2-3 inlets, depending on what you want.
 - Compatible with Luxe Neo Bidets (Neo 110, Neo 120, Neo 180, Neo 185, Neo 250, Neo 320) and Vi-110
 - Shut-off Valve gives ability to turn off or reduce/adjust the water pressure coming into the bidet
 - Ideal for households with children (bidet can be "locked" so it cannot be turned on by accident)
 - Size of 7/8" x 7/8" x 1/2" (The 7/8" ballcock thread is same as 15/16"-14UNS). Replaces the cold water t-adapter that comes with Luxe Bidet
 - Strong metal and ceramic valve with beautiful Chrome finish, for smooth and reliable operation
Mount the valve. You need to mount the valve somewhere practical. It can be on the inner fender or floorboard to keep the handle operational inside the car. In this case, you do not have to raise the hood whenever you have to switch from one fuel to another.
To reroute your fuel lines, you can use a fuel hose. Ensure to connect the hose to the T-shaped valve. You can use standard barb fittings and then apply Teflon tape on the threaded connections to prevent leaks. To install the T valve and change the fuel lines, mount the T valve wherever you prefer. You may have to install the barb fittings. Now, do the following:
 - Use the fuel hose to connect the alcohol to one of the T valve inlets.
 - On the inlet side of the fuel pump, remove the hose between the pump and the metal fuel line from the gas tank.
 - Using the fuel hose, connect the metal fuel line to the remaining T valve inlet.
 - Using a third length of fuel hose, connect the "T" valve outlet to the inlet side of the fuel pump.
You want to be sure that the lines are leakproof and secured without any moving component obstructing them. You can now switch between your fuel (gasoline and alcohol) system by flicking your valve.
 1. Disassemble your carburetor
The carburetor is the heart of your engine that feeds the appropriate air and fuel to the cylinders. We have the one-, two- and four-barrel carburetors. Note that every carburetor operates in the same way. Alcohol will burn efficiently with about a 9/1 ratio. What you want to do now after placing the tank is to remove, modify and replace the carburetor in this ratio.

text: Brazilian sociologist Marcelo Rosa has published an important critique of social theory (download), comparing the approaches of Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Jean and John Comaroff and Raewyn Connell. Though he singles out Connell as an approach that allows for alternative southern voices, he concludes from their differing uses of theories an inconsistency in the notion of 'southern theory'. In reference to the French sociologists Boltanski and Chiapello, he describes this use of south as a 'circumstantial project'. As such, Rosa is vulnerable to the same critique he has levelled at others in marginalising southern perspectives by contrast to northern theory. Diversity of approaches does not necessarily imply contradictions in the field. They can indicate a dynamic argument that is activating an alternative field of inquiry.

Circuit to Compare Light Level or Temperature using an LM741 op-amp
The Circuit Diagrams for using and LDR or Thermistor

This is the circuit designed on fritzing for the LDR

This circuit uses an LM741 OP AMP to make a light level indicator so that when the light level dips below an acceptable level, the LED lights up.
You can set the level by turning the 22k potentiometer and tuning the cut off to what you want.
This circuit can be adapted so as to use a thermistor instead, but also any other analog resistive sensor you can find but you may find that you need to change the 22k potentiameter to 100k for certain sensors.
Brief explanation:
The 741 is set up as a comparator. This means that the 741 is comparing the input voltage of + and the - so that if the + has a higher input than the -, then the output will be high so it will light up the LED, if the - line has a higher voltage than the +, then the output will be low.
This circuit was designed by "Jim" and tested at Mallinson Electrical, we can verify that it works.

Arista Networks that builds and sells Ethernet switches for cloud-computing data centers
has launched telemetry and analytics
capabilities specifically designed for modern cloud networks. The newly introduced Arista Extensible OS
(EOS) and CloudVision
offer its customers with an understanding of their everyday workloads, workflows and workstreams. It also channelizes the process in the completion of the daily tasks and keeps a check to minimize the operational costs. It enables customers to move to cloud-class automation without needing significant custom internal development.
CloudVision is built on one of Arista's EOS innovative state database model, called "SysDB". SysDB acts as a broker between the many processes that make up EOS, enabling the scale, feature velocity EOS is known. SysDB holds the entire state for that switch e.g., configuration, topology, protocol state, monitoring counters details, etc.
Telemetry is an automated communications process by which measurements and other data are collected at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for monitoring. In a blogpost
, Jayshree Ullal, CEO, Arista Networks mentioned, "Every network architect is looking for modern analytical methods to efficiently and consistently gain visibility into millions of devices, data and events. Arista's state driven network infrastructure built on Arista EOS with NetDB (Network Database) delivers a network wide repository to coordinate many types of actions, leveraging open standards such as the ability to capture, stream, store, classify and view actions."
"EOS streams the state of every network event, on every device, instantaneously, in order to provide granular mechanisms for real-time visibility into thousands of devices in a cloud network. The Arista Telemetry Tracers leverage open source solutions such as HBase and standards such as OpenConfig," Ullal added.
The company claims that Arista EOS (Linux-based network OS) is a next-generation solution for data centers and cloud networks. EOS offers a set of software applications that provide workflow automation, high availability, network visibility and analytics and rapid integration with a wide range of third-party applications for virtualization, management, automation and orchestration services. EOS has a unique multi-process state sharing architecture that separates state information and packet forwarding from protocol processing and application logic.
CloudVision extends the same architectural approach across the network with a state-based view of the entire network. According to the company, CloudVision's abstraction of the physical network to this broader, network-wide perspective allows for a more efficient approach for several operational and network telemetry use-cases. To leverage rich network data, the CloudVision platform's analytics engine provides telemetry visualization for network-wide state.
Capabilities and benefits:
- Prompt event-driven streaming of every state change, providing a dramatic improvement in granularity compared to traditional polling models.
- Complete state visibility from all devices in the network, including configuration, counters, errors, statistics, tables, environmentals, buffer utilization, flow data, and much more.
- CloudVision Analytics Engine for storing state history and performing trend analysis, event correlation, and automated alerts. The basis for both real-time monitoring and historical forensic event investigation.
- New Telemetry Apps for the CloudVision Portal, including the Workstream Analytics Viewer, providing simplified visualization of network-wide state for faster time to resolution.
- An open framework, built on standard RESTful APIs as well as OpenConfig-based infrastructure, providing a point for integration into a variety of partner solutions and customer-specific infrastructure.
- Expansion of existing EOS Telemetry Tracer capabilities across device, topology, virtual machine, container, and application components.

Cult on the rise? Students' perspectives on cult issues in secondary and national high schools in Papua New Guinea
Drawii, J. T. (2008). Cult on the rise? Students' perspectives on cult issues in secondary and national high schools in Papua New Guinea (Thesis, Master of Education (MEd)). The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Retrieved from _URL_
Permanent Research Commons link: _URL_
In the last five years there has been a dramatic increase in perceived levels ofantisocial behaviour amongst students in Secondary and National High schoolsin Papua New Guinea. Certain events have caught the public's attention, suchas the burning down of school buildings and reports of Satanic worship.Despite widespread concern, there seems to be little understanding of why suchproblems are occurring and no systematic studies to estimate the exact extent ofsuch behaviours or their underlying cause.The main objective of this study was to collect information about thestudents' perspectives on the nature and extent of these perceived problems. Forethical reasons, and with regard to ease of access to participants within the timeframe of the study, data were collected from the first year student teachers atMadang Teachers' College, Papua New Guinea, who had beenSecondary/National High school students only a few months previously. As thiswas an exploratory investigation, and it was not known whether participantswould feel more at ease talking one-on-one with the researcher or in groups,two methodologies were used: focus group discussions and individualinterviews. The research was conducted over a period of three weeks in June2007, and involved a total of 21 participants (three focus groups of five, fiveand six people respectively, and six individual interviewees, one of whom alsojoined a group).The main findings to emerge from these discussions were as follows.First, the participants explained their own and other students' behaviour in termsof exploring old and new traditions of school life. Second, although severalparticipants reported knowledge of supernatural practices, many of the groupactivities described in the discussions were normal activities among peer cliquesthat provided a sense of belonging and positive support for school achievement.There were no major differences in the stories told by male and femaleparticipants, and no obvious differences in the type of information providedunder different research conditions.There was some disagreement among participants as to whether or not schoolauthorities should take strong action to eliminate the possibility of cultpractices.The findings are interpreted with reference to both Westernpsychological ideas about the nature of adolescence, and to local traditions,practices, and understandings of lifespan development. In particular, the notionof'searching for identity' stands out in these accounts of student behaviour.This was an exploratory study and not designed to yield results thatprovide an overall picture of the situation in the Secondary/National Highschools of Papua New Guinea. Nevertheless, participants' reports did relate toevents experienced in the majority of PNG Secondary and National Highschools, and some recommendations are tentatively offered.

One is the caves with rock frescoes, which were started in 493. Longmen Caves are visible if you are sailing on the Yi River. They are part of China's world cultural heritage. Such rock complexes of similar size are still in three places.
The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, the Yungang Caves in Datong and the Dazu Caves in Chongqing, which I have already published. The caves are located in the valley of the Yihe River between the fragrant mountain and Longmen mountain. The construction of the caves began in the Northern Wei dynasty and lasted about 400 years until the Tang dynasty. There are a total of 2345 niches, over 100,000 Buddha statues and more than 2,800 inscriptions.
The largest statue is the 17-meter Vairocana Buddha and the smallest micro-engraving figure of the Buddha is only 2 inches high. Hundreds of thousands of stonemasons have carved into the nearby rocks. Most of the statues are well preserved, or at least the ones I saw.
It is amazing how they are preserved or protected from the weather (rain and wind). The panoramic tour is well done, but be prepared to climb over 800 steps and as many more to descend to see the main part of the statues. Bookmark and Share

What are Longmen Caves China
 - Longmen Grottoes
 - Xiangshan Temple
 - White Park South Gate
 - Kanjingsi
I must also write that on both sides of the Yihe River you can see everything down to the smallest statue. Quite a laborious job if you ask me. I saw a similar scale of figures carved into the rocks in the mystical stone city Petra.
There are carved stairs next to each statue in the rocks, but unfortunately they are not accessible to tourists for obvious reasons. There are small holes in which small statues of Buddha are carved.
Across the river is the Xiangshan Temple Buddhist Complex opposite the Longmen Caves, the Grottoes of the Dragon Gate, in Luoyang City with its characteristic curved, colorful pagoda roofs. The influence of Indian culture is felt here. If you buy a ticket you can visit everything in this attraction.
It is much cheaper than just exploring the Longmen Caves of China. The whole complex is a pedestrian zone, which is a great advantage for tourists. Everything is very well maintained, not to mention the cleanliness. In general, in China you need a lifetime to look at everything properly. We hope we have been helpful to you. In this city of Luoyang, I had the kindest welcome at the hotel where I was staying.
As usual the only foreigner. I guess they even gave me a more expensive room than the one I had booked. Every day they wrote to me on a note that I was a valuable guest, they left a plate with bananas, cherry tomatoes and yogurt in the room, which they then told me was normal for a very valuable (respected) guest. They offered extra free mineral water and in the end they even took me to the station in a company car. I'm not sure why I was so served.
Also, in this city I went to eat at a market next to a fenced neighborhood (closed ghetto), where they cooked very tasty and it was very cheap and I was very happy to eat among ordinary people.

The word 'hogy' and its use
Take a quick survey and help make HungarianReference.com even better
This is one of the more unusual words, as it performs two roles. Its role that you will meet most early on in your studies is how in the context of how are you? - hogy vagy?
Its main and most common role is that (conjunction). It plays a crucial role in linking a statement to a verb.
'Hogy' as a conjunction - 'that'
Consider this sentence: "I believe that Hungarian women are beautiful" Note how it has two parts that are complete sentences in themselves: "I believe" and "Hungarian women are beautiful." These two statements are joined by a conjunction, which serves the role of turning that second statement into somthing akin to an argument of the first.
This is where hogy comes into to play: Azt hiszem, hogy szépek a magyar lányok. Note how there is a comma before the conjunction. This is the way it works.
You can think of this working in the following manner:
Hungarian objects must be marked by the accusative noun case, but the "argument" of the above sentence is a sentence in itself, so how do we place the entire phrase/clause into the accusative case? Well, we use a pronoun to represent the entire clause, we put the pronoun into the accusative, and then state what the pronoun represents using hogy.
That is:
 - What do we believe? I believe {szépek a magyar lányok}. That entire phrase needs to be represented in the accusative.
 - What we believe is well-defined, so we must use the Hungarian definite conjugation and say hiszem
 - Use a pronoun to represent this phrase, and place it into the accusative: azt
 - Link the two with hogy
Similarly when an entire phrase needs to be place into any noun case, we can use the same logic.
 - emlékszik [vmire] remember something - this uses the ra/re (sublative) case
 - nem emlékszem arra, hogy mit csináltam tegnap I don't remember what I did yesterday
 - nem emlékszem arra (pronoun representing the forthcoming phrase)... hogy (conjunction)... mit csináltam tegnap (the phrase we're remembering)
Wonderfully, the same logic still applies even when the phrase we're representing itself contains "hogy." Suppose the phrase we're representing is hogy hívják what they call (it) / what it is called / its name
 - nem emlékszem arra, hogy hogy hívják I don't remember what it's called
 - nem emlékszem arra (pronoun representing the forthcoming phrase)... hogy (conjunction)... hogy hívják (the phrase we're remembering)
Common phrases with conjunctions
Using the above logic, here are some phrases that are incredibly common. You should memorise their structure.
 - azt hiszem, hogy.... I believe that...
 - azt mondják, hogy.... they say that...
 - azt gondoltam, hogy.... I thought that... (past tense)
 - úgy tippelem, hogy.... nem I guess that... no (i.e. "I guess not")
 - úgy hívják, hogy... Áginak they call her thus...Ági (see the dative case page)
Other hogy-like words
Here are some words that contain 'hogy' but actually have nothing to do with the above meanings.
 - hogyhogy?! how come?!
 - dehogynem! but of course! Note how this word contains 'nem' but has a positive meaning. Careful!
 - hogyan [adv] how, by what means
 - hogyha [conj] if, supposing, when
 - hogyne [adv] of course, naturally
 - hogyisne! [interjection] Hell, no! Certainly not!

Multiplexed gallium–arsenide (GaAs)-based terahertz (THz) emitters fabricated with periodic double-metal structures are demonstrated and the effect of different metals on the THz output is investigated. THz emission originates from the lateral photo-Dember effect and from the different Schottky barrier heights of the chosen metal pair. The metal combinations used were Au–Al, Au–Pb and Cu–Cr. The emitters were characterised according to temperature and the highest peak-to-peak THz emission was achieved with the Cu–Cr metal pairing at 150 K.

Have you ever thought about the fact that using colored cosmetics is like doing artwork on your face? Well, I think so, anyway! One of the tools of makeup application is the cosmetic sponge. It may be a lowly little tool on its own, but it can work magic with application techniques. Not only are sponges handy in front of the mirror, they can be just as useful on your art table!
Sea sponges and synthetic, manufactured sponges that are made to resemble sea sponges are often used in art. However, a bag of cosmetic sponges is usually rather inexpensive in comparison. Plus, the are often already available in our makeup bag!
What can you do with a sponge? Here are some ideas:
- Use damp to apply and smooth on paint
- Remove paint as needed
- Create texture by using different motions with the sponge
- Snip the sponge into a shape for a "stamp"
- Use to apply paint or ink with stencils
- Apply ink to edges, or buff over a project
- Use as a blending tool
- Use as a blotter for your paintbrush while watercoloring
- Use for an extra applicator with PanPastels
- Use as disposable applicator for any product
What else can you think of that may be a good idea to use a small sponge for? We would love to hear your ideas.
Cheers to YOUR Artful Adventures!

Here's How You Should Be Storing Leftover Onions
After you're done chopping, there is an exact way to make sure your onions stay fresh for as long as possible.
Onions: either you love them or you hate them. The root vegetable, which comes in all different shapes, colors, and sizes, may have a peculiar taste and make you cry when you cut into them, but onions are often a leading ingredient in the kitchen. Think about it: they're key in salads, vegetable stir fry, and onion rings, to name a few. So it's important to know how to store onions properly to avoid spoilage.
That said, we checked in with the National Onion Association and Dr. Gitanjali Kundu, assistant professor of biology at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey, for the best onion storing practices—especially because the ingredient is often purchased in bulk.
Here's everything we learned about how to store onions—both uncut and cut—the right way.
Find a dark, cool, well-ventilated place to store uncut onions.

Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That!
Torn on what to do with that big bag of onions when you return from the grocery store? Skip the refrigerator. René Hardwick, Director of Public and Industry Relations for the National Onion Association, suggests keeping all bulb onions in a "dark, cool place: such as a pantry, basement, or garage, which can give the onions a shelf life of up to four weeks.
Dr. Kundu also points out that a dry, well-ventilated place is very important because "the mold, which is a fungi, cannot grow in dry environments because they need moisture for growth." The result? Slowed-down spoilage. In fact, according to one 2016 study, it's ideal to store uncut onions at a temperature of 40-50°F.
It's also imperative to store the uncut onions in a mesh bag or open basket rather than a plastic bag because plastic bags don't have the proper ventilation to help the onions last longer.
But what happens if you store the uncut onions in the refrigerator rather than in a dry, ventilated area? Because the refrigerator has little ventilation, the cold, humid conditions "triggers the growth of mold, so they will get spoiled faster," Dr. Kundu notes.
Have you ever noticed your refrigerated onions becoming sappy, soggy, and soft sooner than you'd like? That's because the plants store carbohydrates as complex sugar called starch, and when they're stored in a cool temperature, those complex starches get converted into simple sugar molecules. Dr. Kundu says: "Microorganisms, [such as mold], love sugar because sugar gives them the energy to grow."
Once you cut an onion, it's crucial to store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
chopped onions in a container and half an onion in a bag
Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That!
When buying onions in bulk, it's oftentimes difficult to use them all at once. While there are ways to get creative with leftover onions (caramelize them or toss them with peppers and onions, for example), we often get in the habit of storing half an onion or diced/sliced onions for later use. But what's the best storage practice to avoid spoilage of cut onions? Store them in the refrigerator.
According to the USDA, whole peeled onions have a shelf life of 10-14 days refrigerated, while diced and sliced onions typically last 7-10 days refrigerated. It's recommended to store cut onions in a sealed container or plastic bag while in the refrigerator.
So why do we choose the refrigerator over a cool, dry place? Remember those rumors that you should never eat an onion out of the refrigerator because of bacteria? Not true. According to a 2017 McGill article, "bacteria are not spontaneously generated. They have to be somehow present to start with. Cutting boards and dirty hands are a possible source, but food spoilage bacteria do not become airborne; you need contact." Basically, this means that your onions are safe to be stored and eaten at a later date, as long as you didn't cut them on a cutting board that could be contaminated and you made sure your hands were clean while you were handling them.
Dr. Kundu explains, "It's like when you have a cut, you can introduce germs, and that compromised area can become infected more quickly….that has happened to the onion now."
Even though there are microorganisms inside the refrigerator, most of them can't multiply that quickly due to low metabolism at a temperature of 4°C. This leads to slowed down onion spoilage, she adds. "But if you had kept the uncut onion in room temperature, it is a good place for fungi to grow."
Cooked onions should be stored in the refrigerator as well.
"Sometimes cooked onions not stored properly can allow the growth of toxin-producing bacteria like enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Clostridium botulinum, etc.," Dr. Kundu says.
So, why in cooked onion, but not in raw?
"Because in raw onion, the active ingredients are there. So when you cook the onions, many antimicrobial compounds (including sulfuric acid) are diminished. Therefore you find more of a bacterial growth taking over."
"Several toxin-producing bacteria can take resistant forms called endospores. Getting rid of the endospores is a challenge to the food industry because these structures are very resistant to heat and cooking," Dr. Kundu adds. "So what it means is you have cooked the food thinking you've killed the bacteria, but endospores can still be present. They behave like a dead bacteria, and upon entering the human body become alive again and may further cause pathogenesis."
That said, store cooked onions for up to five days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Here's how to know if your onions have spoiled.
If you practice good onion-storing habits, you'll have a better grip on knowing when your onions have spoiled. But there are a few things to look out for to help you decide whether or not you should toss the vegetable.
"Change in the color is the biggest evidence of how you can tell an onion has gone bad," Dr. Kundu says. "[Look out for] gray spots, brown spots, black spots, and those velvet-like, fuzzy, cottony growths."
It helps that you are able to see the spoilage of the onions. "Molds are better at growing on onions rather than bacteria, because the molds like to grow in acidic pH. We call fungi acidophiles, which means acid-loving microorganisms."
"Sometimes, [the] presence of slime is also a sign depicting microorganisms have fed on the cells and sugar of the onion," she adds.
Our best advice? If you notice any mold on your onion, just send it right to the garbage.
There could be health risks associated with eating contaminated onions.
Back in 2012, there was an instance where contaminated onions were recalled. "There have been cases where people thought there was contamination of Listeria monocytogenes that could grow in refrigerator temperature," Dr. Kundu notes. "Listeria monocytogenes causes a fatal disease called listeriosis, which affects the immunocompromised population, which is people who have weak immune systems, such as pregnant women, infants, elderly people, people who have AIDS, or people who have undergone chemotherapy. It can be fatal to them."
According to Up to Date, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus are common genera of fungi that can be found indoors. "Fungi exposure can indeed cause adverse health effects, including infections, hypersensitivity disorders, and toxic/irritant effects from their by-products," the article reads. According to one study, toxins can also be associated with allergic incidents.
"Ingested in higher amounts, these fungi could be involved in toxin associated illnesses," Dr. Kundu additionally notes. "Some dangerous toxins produced by several species of fungi are mycotoxins, aflatoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin, etc."
It's also important to note that last year, NOA confirmed onions cannot help cure the flu (yes, people really believed this!) and are not responsible for food poisoning. Phew!

Let $F$ be an unramified extension of $Q_2$. How can I compute the Hilbert symbol (a,b) for $a,b \in F^*$. Here, (a,b) is 1 if $ax^2+by^2=z^2$ has a nontrivial solution, and -1 otherwise.
In the case of $F=Q_2$, I can do this by finding representatives of $Q_2^*/(Q_2^*)^2$, and calculating the Hilbert symbol for each possible pair. However, this becomes a bit unmanageable for larger fields $F$. Is there a better way of approaching this?


What is a verb to describe fluid rushing out from an opening in small amount?
"Gush out" sounds like in huge amount. "Seeps through" on the other hand lacks the force that brought the fluid out, like with in "gush".
 - 1
 Can you name any real-world examples where such a thing might occur? It seems a very odd juxtaposition of things. Normally, if the fluid is coming out with a force large enough to warrant calling it 'rushing', the amount of fluid does not really matter that much—it is relative. For example, blood can be gushing out from a wound, even though the entire amount of blood gushed out is minimal compared to the amount of water, say, spewed from a broken water pipe. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Sep 13 '13 at 19:03
Consider the verbs jet, spray, and stream. For example, "A fine stream of water jetted from the pinhole" implies small amounts of liquid spraying out under high pressure.
Trickle - (of a liquid) flow in a small stream.
Usage: "A solitary tear trickled down her cheek."
Spurt - A sudden short burst, as of energy, activity, or growth.
Usage: "The pus spurted onto the mirror."
For "small amount" use drip:
To fall in drops: Water is dripping from that leaky faucet.
You're right that seep (not sip) implies a passive and slow movement, with no force suggested. If you want a word for "small amounts of water rushing out", I can only think of leak. A leak does not necessarily need high pressure but it can have it:
If you are referring to a pressurized container with a small hole, I would recommend escaping.
The problem is that if a liquid is rushing out, it is rarely doing so in small quantities.
Dribbling or dripping
Usage: "The water is barely dribbling out of the faucet."
Squirt or stream might work depending on exact context
I like jwpat7's suggestion of stream best.
Another apt alternative is to say course meaning to run or flow swiftly as in this dictionary example:
The blood of ancient emperors courses through his veins.
course verb [I usually + adv/prep] /kɔːs/ US /kɔːrs/ formal
Definition › to flow quickly or in large amounts: Tears were coursing down his cheeks.
Alternative verbs for slow movement of fluids are:
I'm surprised leak was not higher in the list. That is the word most obvious to me. I associate it with a relatively low rate of flow relative to the total volume of what is being leaked.
We paddled quickly to shore after our boat sprung a leak.
[lēk] verb (of a container or covering) accidentally lose or admit contents, especially liquid or gas, through a hole or crack
Oh. I see _USER_ did mention it.
 - Since, as you mention, leak has already been mentioned, was it really worth answering? – BladorthinTheGrey Nov 30 '16 at 22:46
 - Yes. _USER_ made drip his primary answer; leak was mine. I gave him credit for including what I considered the better answer. – Suncat2000 Feb 8 '17 at 15:05

text: Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a revolutionary paradigm to manage cloud infrastructure. SDN lacks scalable trust setup and verification mechanism between Data Plane-Control Plane elements, Control Plane elements, and Control Plane-Application Plane. Trust management schemes like Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) used currently in SDN are slow for trust establishment in a larger cloud environment. We propose a distributed trust mechanism - TRUFL to establish and verify trust in SDN. The distributed framework utilizes parallelism in trust management, in effect faster transfer rates and reduced latency compared to centralized trust management. The TRUFL framework scales well with the number of OpenFlow rules when compared to existing research works.

Towny war is activated by our chief, KaizenWorlds, there is a 30-second countdown and then War begins.
During war Nations fight each other. Towns without a nation are not included, cannot score points.
Nations can also pay a daily Neutrality cost to avoid taking part in a war. The cost of neutrality is 100 dollars from its nationbank each 'Towny Day'.
Useful during war is the '/towny war hud' which will make a scoreboard appear for the player, which details points and properties of the townblock they are standing in.
While war is in effect, each competing town has a health points property attached to it. Normal townblocks have an HP of 60 while Home Blocks have 120 points by default. A townblock loses HP by enemy-nation residents standing within the townblock. When a townblock has lost all HP and fallen the town which the attacker belongs to gains one townblock and points to their War Score.
When a townblock is under attack, fireworks appear above. Red for damage, red creeperhead for a won townblock, and green when a townblock is being healed by a defender.
Only townblocks on the edge of the wilderness can be attacked first.
A Town can be knocked out of a war when their Home Block falls or if their Mayor is killed. A Nation can be knocked out of a war if its capital city is knocked out of the war, or if the King is killed.
Points in war given for the following:
- A enemy killed: 1
- A townblock stolen: 1
- A town knocked out of the war: 10
- A nation knocked out of the war: 100
- Towny war ends when there is only one nation who's Home Block has not been conquered or when the admin toggles war off. Although the townblocks are restored at the end of war, the damage from any griefing is permanent.
