While most kids get all they need from the 'social standard' after-school extramurals on offer, times are changing and your small humans might want to try one of the slightly more unusual after-school activities on offer these days … like these!
BOXING – WINSTON NGILAZI
While it might not seem like a 'typical' extramural activity to encourage young boys and girls to take part in, boxing is a great full body workout for kids, which focuses on hand-eye coordination and aids kids with fitness and weight management. Passionate about his sport, Winston brings energy and fun to every session. He offers classes at Ashton International College in Ballito and at Ringside Boxing Gym in Umhlali.
Why should kids try out boxing?
'It's a great form of cardio and stress relief … and it's loads of fun! I think kids enjoy my classes because of the energy I bring to each session. They can see the passion I have for the sport. It's not just about exercising, it's about being able to laugh and have fun with me in the boxing ring as well.
What type of child should try boxing? Any child can try out a boxing class. I have both boys and girls in my class and we start from as young as four years old.
Need to know: To take part in boxing classes with Winston, your child will need to have their own pair of boxing gloves. Group lessons (at Ringside Boxing Gym) are R150 (once a week), R125 (twice a week) or R100 (three times a week). Private (one-on-one) lessons are R200 (once a week), R175 (twice a week) and R150 (three times a week).

GOLF – MCKENNA PERFORMANCE ACADEMY
With some of the most beautiful golf courses in the country right on our doorstep, golf is a great extramural option for many kids. We caught up with Ryan Schierhout of McKenna Performance Academy, which is based at the Umhlali Country Club driving range and offers world-class golf coaching for beginner, intermediate and advanced players.
Why should kids learn to play golf? 'Golf is a fun and challenging game that encourages kids to spend time outdoors. It also helps children with conversational, social and emotional skills and is a great way to make new friends. Besides being great exercise and good for hand-eye coordination, golf also improves kids' confidence and self-esteem, builds character, teaches honesty, respect, discipline and patience, develops emotional control and encourages 'quiet time'.
What type of child should try playing golf?
Golf can be played in groups or alone, so is a great game for both introverts and extroverts. It helps introverts become more confident and enhances concentration for active kids. There is no perfect age to start as all children mature at different times, but in most cases golf instruction can start from the age of five years old.
Need to know: Your child will need basic equipment to start playing golf, including a golf bag, clubs (driver, iron, wedge and putter), balls, tees and a ball marker. McKenna Performance Academy offers both individual (R350/hour) and group (R700/month) lessons and they offer holiday camps (R1 450 per person). All driving range balls and video analysis are included in pricing.

SURFING – BALLITO SURF SCHOOL
While learning to swim and being water safe is a given for most kids growing up on the North Coast, learning to surf is at the top of the 'to-do' list for many as well. Ballito Surf School owner Janek Ferrandi started the school with a dream of sharing his love for the ocean with others. Based at Willard Beach in Ballito, he and his team of trained instructors offer a unique surf experience, from complete beginner to intermediate. We asked him about his school.
Why should kids learn to surf? 'It's a great way to spend time outdoors and connect with nature while being active. There are also great mental benefits. It improves alertness, awareness and confidence, as you are constantly in a state of active attention. When you are in this mind space you are present, either with yourself, nature or your friends.
What type of child should try surfing? Any child can start surfing, as long as they can swim comfortably, and a bonus would be if they have a love for the outdoors and the ocean. From our experience, the best age to start is between eight and ten years old.
Need to know: Ballito Surf School lessons cost R450 for a private lesson and R250 per person for a bundle of group sessions. They supply the equipment needed (surfboards, rash vests, wetsuits and sun cream), and all you need to bring is a pair of bathers, a towel and your stoke! Once you start improving and become a committed surfer, they will recommend a surfboard and gear suited to your ability (which you can buy from their surf shop – Ballito Surf Co).

In general, two types of receipts occur during the course of business. Capital Receipts are described as the money brought to the business from non-operating sources like proceeds from the sale of long-term assets, capital brought by the proprietor, sum received as a loan or from debenture holders etc. In contrast revenue receipts are the result of firm's routine activities during the financial year, which includes sales, commission, interest on investment.
Capital receipts differ from revenue receipts, in the sense that the former has no bearing on profit or loss for the financial year, whereas the latter is set off against the revenue expenses for the period. Read the article provided to you, so as to understand the difference between capital receipt and revenue receipt.
Content: Capital Receipt Vs Revenue Receipt
|Basis for Comparison||Capital Receipt||Revenue Receipt|
|Meaning||Capital Receipts are the income generated from investment and financing activities of the business.||Revenue Receipts are the income generated from the operating activities of the business.|
|Term||Long Term||Short Term|
|Shown in||Balance Sheet||Income Statement|
|Received in exchange of||Source of income||Income|
|Value of asset or liability||Decreases the value of asset or increases the value of liability.||Increases or decreases the value of asset or liability.|
Definition of Capital Receipt
Capital receipts are the income received by the company which is non-recurring in nature. They are part of the financing and investing activities rather than operating activities. The capital receipts either reduces an asset or increases a liability. The receipts can be generated from the following sources:
- Issue of Shares
- The issue of debt instruments such as debentures.
- Loan taken from a bank or financial institution.
- Government grants.
- Insurance Claim.
- Additional capital introduced by the proprietor.
Definition of Revenue Receipt
Revenue Receipts are the receipts which arise through the core business activities. These receipts are a part of normal business operations that is why they occur again and again however its benefit can be enjoyed only in the current accounting year as its effect is short term. The income received from the day to day activities of business includes all the operations that bring cash into the business like:
- Revenue generated from the sale of inventory
- Services Rendered
- Discount Received from the creditors or suppliers
- Sale of waste material/scrap.
- Interest Received
- Receipt in the form of dividend
- Rent Received
Key Differences Between Capital Receipt and Revenue Receipt
The following points explain the difference between capital receipt and revenue receipt in detail:
- Receipts generated from investing and financing activities are capital receipts, on the other hand, receipts from operating activities are revenue receipt.
- Capital Receipts do not frequently occur, as it is non-recurring and irregular. But, revenue receipts do not occur again and again they are recurring and regular.
- The benefit of capital receipt can be enjoyed in more than one year, but the benefit of revenue receipt can be enjoyed only in the current year.
- Capital Receipts appears on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet whereas Revenue Receipts appears on the credit side of the Profit and Loss Account as income for the financial year.
- The capital receipt is received in exchange for the source of income. Unlike revenue received which is a substitution of income.
- Capital receipt either decreases the value of an asset or increases the value of liability, but revenue receipt neither increases nor decreases the value of asset or liability.
- Both receipts are a part of business activities.
- Both are necessary for the survival and growth of the company.
- The source of business income.
In general, Capital Receipts and Revenue Receipts play a vital role in the growth of business, as the business may not be able to survive, in the absence of the two.

Slovak Jewish Heritage Route
The Route is a network linking the most important synagogue buildings in Slovakia. Some are active houses of worship, while others serve today as cultural venues. Several historic Jewish cemeteries are also included. Click on the map to learn more about Route sites in various regions in Slovakia.
THE GATEWAY TO JEWISH HERITAGE IN SLOVAKIA
Our online resources provide information about major Jewish sites around the country. The material covers a range of topics and is oriented to scholars as well to the general public.
The MONUMENTS DATABASE features details on hundreds of Jewish heritage sites we have documented throughout Slovakia. We began our work in 2001 as Synagoga Slovaca, a project aimed at documenting the scores of synagogues, many of them in ruinous condition, that still stand in all corners of the country. We are gradually adding cemeteries, cemetery chapels, mikvaot (ritual baths), school buildings, other Jewish communal buildings and Holocaust memorials. Material in the database includes historical and architectural information as well as photographs.
The SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE ROUTE promotes the country's most important Jewish heritage sites and integrates them into national and local cultural, educational and tourism contexts. The Route is associated with the European Routes of Jewish Heritage, which has been declared a Major Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. We organize SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE TOURS in cooperation with a leading touroperator Enjoy Slovakia DMC.
These projects and other activities of our Center are part of a long-term vision that includes the establishment of a sustainable and multi-faceted SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE PROGRAM. We strongly believe that our work can foster a desire - and a commitment - to seek sustainable frameworks for the maintenance and restoration of these important yet all-too-often neglected heritage sites. Only through such strategies can we contribute to the preservation of Slovak Jewish monuments as part of Slovakia's overall multicultural heritage.

For a test of open-mindedness, see Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness.
Saying someone lacks an open mind is often used pejoratively, for example, "Don't be pro-life/pro-marriage/pro-abstinence, be open-minded. In this context, "open minded" simply means considering a certain viewpoint.
- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." (Aristotle)

Satyendra Rana | Tuesday 11 September 2018
Greentech Knowledge Solutions Private Limited (GKSPL) and Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB) have jointly conducted several workshops on "Design, construction and operation of a Zigzag Kiln" across different districts of Bihar during 2018-19. During the workshops, we have observed that there are many fundamental misconceptions prevalent among kiln owners and masons regarding construction and operation of a Zigzag kiln. Here we have tried to clear up the most widespread misconceptions in a very clear manner with short explanations.
It must be clear in everybody's mind that "Zigzag kiln" is NOT a completely new design of brick kiln and it is similar in many ways to the traditional "oval shape" Bull's trench brick kiln. Zigzag kiln is just an "improved version" of the traditional kiln. The main difference between oval-shape Bull's trench kiln and Zigzag kiln is the brick-setting pattern and hence, the fuel feeding/firing method. Applying the improved brick-layout design in a Zigzag kiln, air/hot-gases are provided more time to exchange heat with bricks which is the main reason for its better performance compared to a conventional kiln.
Yes, it is RECOMMENDED for a Zigzag kiln to have a rectangular shape to properly employ improved brick-setting pattern and thus to obtain better performance compared to traditional kiln.
Zigzag kiln refers to a kiln in which air/hot-gases does NOT flow "mostly" in a straight line (unlike in traditional oval-shape kiln) along the length of trench. Zigzag kilns can be of two types:
Chimney type is SAME for both natural-draught and high-draught Zigzag kilns. The cross-section of chimney can be either circular or square in both types of Zigzag kilns. For a given daily production capacity and brick-setting design, chimney internal diameter and height changes according to the type of Zigzag kiln.
It is absolutely WRONG to say that a new type of chimney called "Zigzag chimney" is essential to run any Zigzag kiln. If for a given daily production capacity and brick-setting design, the required internal width, height and quality is met by the existing chimney, then the same chimney can be used to operate the Zigzag kiln.
It is NOT necessary for a chimney to have square cross-section to operate any Zigzag kiln. The cross-section of chimney can be either circular or square in both the types of Zigzag kilns.
There is NO demand from state pollution control board to compulsorily install chimney having square cross-section to operate a Zigzag kiln. Both circular and square cross-sectional chimney are permitted to run any Zigzag kiln.
Central or state pollution control board ONLY specifies the "minimum height" of chimney as per the type of Zigzag kiln. If the existing, new or retrofitted chimney is meeting the required minimum height criteria for a given Zigzag kiln type, pollution control board will allow it to operate. According to draft notification published on March 16, 2018 by "Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change", the minimum height requirements for Zigzag kiln are as follows:
Since in an induced-draught or high-draught kiln the required draught is created artificially with the help of fan, ANY type of brick setting viz. single, double or triple Zigzag can be employed satisfactorily.
If the chimney is meeting the "minimum height criteria" set by central or state pollution control board and the chimney's internal width and height is meeting the design criteria for the required daily production capacity, it is NOT compulsory to increase the height of chimney.
Brick-setting design in a Zigzag kiln is NOT VERY different from the setting employed in conventional oval-shape Bull's trench kiln. The basic pattern of stacking bricks in "rows" along the width of trench with each row containing several "brick columns" is same in both traditional and improved kilns. To increase the time required for heat exchange between bricks and hot-gases/air, some rows in Zigzag kilns are made differently (like a wall) to allow air/hot gases to flow past them only through few spaces left in the wall. (For more details, refer Knowledge briefs a). How is setting of bricks done in a natural-draught kiln, b). How is setting of bricks done in an induced-draught Zigzag kiln).
Yes, it is COMPULSORY to install platform and ladder on the chimney as per the criteria set by central/state pollution control board to facilitate the kiln's emission measurements. (For more details, refer Knowledge brief – What are the good practices for the construction of masonry chimney of a Zigzag kiln?).

text: This study investigates the relationship between gender and participation in mathematics and engineering undergraduate degree programmes in Iran. The number of female students enrolling in Iranian Higher Education (HE) is relatively high and this remains the case in mathematics and most engineering programmes. However, the number of female graduates gaining employment in engineering and STEM-[science, technology, engineering and mathematics] related jobs in Iran remains relatively low, with gender discrimination in recruitment practices identified as a key barrier. This presents a contradiction which makes Iran a particularly interesting context to study gender in mathematics and engineering in HE. This study adopts a narrative inquiry approach to investigate how Iranian female students studying mathematics and engineering describe their choice of subject, experience of studying at university, and their future aspirations. It seeks to investigate how the social, cultural and historical structures of Iranian society shape the way these students narrate their identity as a mathematics or engineering student. In-depth analysis highlights how they position their degree as offering more or less âcapitalâ (Bourdieu) which resources their future identities of becoming successful career women in STEM-related professions. In doing so, these women feel able to navigate barriers to success by using their capital to improvise and exert agency over their future trajectories. In sum, I suggest the predominance of âmoving abroadâ as a theme across the interviews is a consequence of the aforementioned contradiction between their desire to become successful career women whilst facing gendered discrimination in the labour market.

precompiled sea tiles. If given, splitter will use the precompiled sea tiles in the same way as mkgmap does. Use this if you want to use a polygon-file or --no-trim=true and mkgmap creates empty *.img files combined with a message starting "There is not enough room in a single garmin map for all the input data".
- The name of a file containing ways and relations that are known to cause problems in the split process. Use this option if --keep-complete requires too much time or memory and --overlap doesn't solve your problem.
- Syntax of problem file:
way: # foo rel: # bar
way:_PHONE_ # Ferry Guernsey - Jersey
- The name of a file to write the generated problem list created with --keep-complete. The parameter is ignored if --keep-complete=false. You can reuse this file with the --problem-file parameter, but do this only if you use the same values for max-nodes and resolution.
- The resolution of the density map produced during the first phase. A value between 1 and 24. Default is 13. Increasing the value to 14 requires four times more memory in the split phase. The value is ignored if a --split-file is given.
- Use the previously calculated tile areas instead of calculating them from scratch. The file can also be in *.kml format.
- Displays the amount of memory used by the JVM every --status-freq seconds. Set =0 to disable. Default is 120.
- Debugging: stop after a given program phase. Can be split, gen-problem-list, or handle-problem-list Default is dist which means execute all phases.
- The name of a kml file to write out the areas to. This is in addition to areas.list (which is always written out).
- If the parameter --version is found somewhere in the options, splitter will just print the version info and exit. Version info looks like this:
splitter 279 compiled 2013-01-12T01:45:02+0000
- If the parameter --help is found somewhere in the options, splitter will print a list of all known normal options together with a short help and exit.
Tuning for best performance
A few hints for those that are using splitter to split large files.
- For faster processing with --keep-complete=true, convert the input file to o5m format using
osmconvert --drop-version file.osm -o=file.o5m
- The option --drop-version is optional, it reduces the file to that data that is needed by splitter and mkgmap.
- If you still experience poor performance, look into splitter.log. Search for the word Distributing. You may find something like this in the next line:
Processing 1502 areas in 3 passes, 501 areas at a time
- This means splitter has to read the input file input three times because the max-areas parameter was much smaller than the number of areas. If you have enough heap, set max-areas value to a value that is higher than the number of areas, e.g. --max-areas=2048. Execute splitter again and you should find
Processing 1502 areas in a single pass
- More areas require more memory. Make sure that splitter has enough heap (increase the -Xmx parameter) so that it doesn't waste much time in the garbage collector (GC), but keep as much memory as possible for the systems I/O caches.
- If available, use two different disks for input file and output directory, esp. when you use o5m format for input and output.
- If you use mkgmap r2415 or later and disk space is no concern, consider to use --output=o5m to speed up processing.
Tuning for low memory requirements
If your machine has less than 1GB free memory (eg. a netbook), you can still use splitter, but you might have to be patient if you use parameter --keep-complete and want to split a file like germany.osm.pbf or a larger one. If needed, reduce the number of parrallel processed areas to 50 with the max-areas parameter. You have to use --keep-complete=false when splitting an area like Europe.
- There is no longer an upper limit on the number of areas that can be output (previously it was 255). More areas just mean potentially more passes being required over the.osm file, and hence the splitter will take longer to run.
- There is no longer a limit on how many areas a way or relation can belong to (previously it was 4).

The paper presents a novel concept of a pressure adaptive piston/cylinder interface design for a swashplate type axial piston machine that uses a pressurized groove around the bushing inside the cylinder block. This groove is connected to the pump displacement chamber and it uses pressure deformations of the bushing to improve the sealing function of the piston/cylinder lubricating interface. Such a design concept is based on a groove design that is easy to manufacture, thus resulting in a cost-effective design solution.
The proposed piston/cylinder interface design is simulated using a multi-domain simulation model developed by the authors' research team. The tool is particularly suitable for the analysis of the internal gap flows, being based on a fully coupled fluid structure thermal interaction model, which calculates the non-isothermal gap fluid behavior considering solid body deformations due to temperature and pressure effects.
The proposed solution is compared in simulation with respect to a standard design of an axial piston pump. The results indicate that the proposed pressure adaptive piston/cylinder interface is able to improve the sealing function of the piston/cylinder interface at different operating conditions. Therefore, the proposed novel design can be seen as a possible method to increase the energy efficiency of the current designs of swash plate units.

"The Three Pearls" is a translation of "Las tres perlas" by Spanish writer Luis Coloma, SJ (1851–1914). Although Coloma never explained why his subtitle describes the story as a "Legend in Imitation of German Tales" ("Leyenda imitada del alemán"), his efforts to write what he called "recreational stories" for children were consistent with the Grimms' project, which included the ten children's legends appended to their famous fairy tales. Coloma's children's stories are still read with pleasure today.

Backup folders with 7-zip command line
The 7-zip command line can be used to do a multiple folders backup. The good thing with 7-zip is that it support many compression method such as bzip2, gzip, zip and of course 7z.
Here are steps for doing a backup on multiple folders on Windows:
 1. Download the 7-zip Command Line Version from _URL_
 2. Extract the content of the zip file to a temporary folder.
 3. Copy 7za.exe to your system folder (for example C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP).
 4. Create a folder for your backup, for example C:\backup.
 5. Create a text file in the C:\backup folder and name it backup.txt.
 6. List the full path of the folders that will be backup, each on a new line.
 7. Create a batch file in C:\backup folder and name it backup.bat.
 8. In the backup.bat file, type
 7za u backup -up1q3r2x1y2z1w2 @backup.txt
To back up, just double click the backup.bat file. A command prompt will be opened and closed automatically when the backup process end.
As a result, you will get a backup file named backup.7z. The u command will instruct 7-zip to update the content of the backup.7z file or create a new one if backup.7z does not exist.
If you don't like the 7z compression method and would like to use the zip compression method instead, just add -tzip switch after the u command.
7za u -tzip backup @backup.txt
Now, the backup file that will be created is backup.zip.
To automatically run a backup at a specific time, please use the Scheduled Tasks feature for Windows XP.

The Hearing Voices Network is a self-help user-run organization for people who 'hear voices'. Although members may have a psychiatric diagnosis, the group promotes an alternative approach, where voices are not necessarilly seen as signs of mental illness.
They argue that since some people can lead a valuable and productive existence while hearing voices, the largely drug-based and potentially coercive treatment of mainstream medicine might do more harm than good in people who can otherwise function adequately.
It was founded in 1989 in Manchester by five mental health workers, but has somewhat distanced itself from the psychiatric profession through its alternative philosophy. The general approach of the network is shared with other groups around the world, which are often grouped as the 'Hearing Voices Movement'.
Dutch psychiatrist Marius Romme, the co-author of Accepting Voices, has provided an intellectual basis for this group. He advocates a view that the hearing of voices is not necessarily an indication of mental illness, and that patients should be encouraged to explore their voices and negotiate with them.

What is SCBA inspection?
Self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, require regular servicing at specific intervals to ensure your life-saving equipment will perform in the toughest conditions: All open-circuit SCBA require flow-testing. Breathing air must also be replaced annually along with an internal visual inspection of the cylinder.
How often should a SCBA be inspected?
FREQUENCY OF TESTS
According to OSHA, you should inspect SCBAs before each use, during cleaning, and at least monthly. NFPA 1852 advises that a user should inspect his assigned SCBA at the beginning of his shift. For SCBAs not assigned to a specific individual, the inspection interval should not exceed one week.
What parts of the SCBA do you properly inspect after each use and during inspection?
3. Each respirator wearer shall inspect the respirator before each use and after cleaning and disinfecting. The inspection shall include a check for defects, missing parts and a facepiece leak check.
How do you do the SCBA step by step procedure?
Step 1: Position body in seat with back firmly against the SCBA and release the SCBA hold-down device. Step 2: Insert arms through shoulder straps. Step 3: Fasten chest strap, buckle waist strap, and adjust shoulder straps. Step 4: Fasten seat belt before apparatus gets underway.
What are the checks to be done on a SCBA?
Pre-use checks
 - Check straps, visor, face seal and valves on face masks.
 - Check medium pressure and high-pressure hoses, connections.
 - Check harness and black plate.
 - Check demand valve.
 - Check cylinder body, hydrostatic test date, valve condition.
What is the NFPA standard for SCBA?
NFPA 1852: Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
What are the 3 operating modes for SAR?
The SAR instrument operates in one of four exclusive modes: Stripmap (SM) Interferometric Wide Swath (IW) Extra Wide Swath (EW)
What are the 4 main components of SCBA?
An SCBA consist of the following:
 - A single or a pair of high-pressure tanks made of steel, aluminium or carbon-fiber composite (2,216 to 4,500 psi or 150-310 bars)
 - One pressure regulator.
 - A face-seal mask or facepiece, mouthpiece and connecting supply pipes.
 - A carrying frame or pack.
How many PSI is SCBA?
An SCBA typically has three main components: a high-pressure tank (e.g., 2,216 to 5,500 psi (15,280 to 37,920 kPa), about 150 to 374 atmospheres), a pressure regulator, and an inhalation connection (mouthpiece, mouth mask or face mask), connected together and mounted to a carrying frame.
What is the pressure of SCBA?
What is hydrostatic testing SCBA?
Hydrostatic testing is the most common way to check a SCBA cylinder for leaks or flaws. The test involves filling the SCBA cylinder with a liquid, usually water, which maybe dyed to aid in visual lead detection, and pressurization of SCBA cylinder to specified test pressure.
What are SCBA units?
SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) systems and components supply breathable air from a self-contained unit that is worn on a worker's back or waist. The unit includes a tank and respirator, allowing the worker to move freely without the need to connect to an airline.
What is SAR sensor?
A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an active sensor that first transmits microwave signals and then receives back the signals that are returned, or backscattered , from the Earth's surface.
What are the 2 types of SCBA?
There are two types of entry-and-escape SCBA's: Open-circuit and closed-circuit.
Which gas is filled in SCBA?
oxygen
The SCBA supplies the compressed oxygen from the oxygen cylinder to the wearer through cylinder valve, pressure reducer, demand valve, etc. Carbon dioxide in exhales air is absorbed by the absorbing canister, and oxygen is re-supplied through breathing bag.
Which gas is used in SCBA?
How often do you Hydro test SCBA?
every 3 years
How often do Carbon Fiber SCBA cylinders have to be Hydrostatic Tested? The answer / solution to the problem / question documented in this article. Fully wrapped carbon fiber cylinders should be Hydrostatic tested every 3 years. They have have a 15 year shelf life from date of manufacture stamped on the cylinder.
What is maximum SAR level?
1.6 watts per kilogram
The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
How is SAR calculated?
Although most soil reports will give you a calculated value for SAR, you can calculate SAR yourself. It's simple: SAR = Na+/((1/2(Ca2+ + Mg2+))1/2 ), where Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ are all measured in meq/L (milliequivalents per liter).
What is the maximum pressure of SCBA?
What is hydrostatic testing for SCBA?
A hydrostatic test is a method to validate the structural integrity and safety of a cylinder throughout its service live. The material of the SCBA cylinder (i.e. steel, aluminum, composite) dictates both the required frequency of testing and the overall service life of the cylinder.
What is normal SAR value?
India has adopted the most stringent international norms for mobile handsets. All the new designs of mobile handsets shall comply with the SAR values of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of human tissue w.e.f. 1st Sept. 2012.


ID used is the object which has the items you want to duplicate. However, you can only put anything there if you're duplicating your own inventory, as it won't work if you put the RefID of the object; to duplicate anything else's inventory you'll have to click it. The second RefID is the object that you want the duplicated items you be put into. You need to watch out what you duplicate, though, as quest items aren't exempted from it.
Examples:
DuplicateAllItems Player; duplicates everything in the selected NPC or container to the player's inventory.
Player.DuplicateAllItems 356BA; duplicates all of the player's items to the NPC or container's inventory.
Player.DuplicateAllItems Player; doubles every item in the player's inventory.
Notes: You can duplicate the items of an inventory into itself by selecting the NPC or container and using its own RefID ("Player" is the player's equivalent of both a BaseID and a RefID).
Player.SetAV ActorValue #[edit]
This will set/add to the value specified to the number specified. The values that can be affected by this command include skills, attributes, health, fatigue, and magicka; a full list of recognized values is found at Actor Value Indices. When editing skills and attributes it will set the specified skill or attribute to the number specified. When editing fatigue, health, or magicka it will set the value to the specified number plus its base value; the numbers that can be used depend on your current values for the stats, but the values for each cannot exceed the following: health - 2,147,483,520; magicka - 65,615; fatigue - 65,675.
Examples:
Player.SetAV Blade 100; sets the player's Blade skill to 100.
Player.SetAV Health 1000; with a base health of 100, the player's health is now 1100.
Other applications: By clicking an NPC or creature and typing SetAV Value # you can change the specified value of the select NPC or creature. Good for when you want an NPC to have more health or do more damage, or, alternately, if you want an enemy to have less health or do less damage. Beware when modifying the values of creatures, though, as any changes made will affect every creature of that type.
Notes: The difference between this command and AdvSkill is that if this is used to increase a skill, any major skills changed won't count toward a level-up. You will, however, gain the benefits of skill perks (such as the ability to disarm or stun opponents) though the game won't tell you so.
Also, when modifying a skill with a name containing multiple words, such as Hand to Hand, omit the spaces (i.e. HandToHand).
Player.SetAV ActorValue # -(for more complex actor values)[edit]
This one will explain the usage of the more complex actor values. Keep in mind that when changing these actor values it will often take into account any enchantments you have on you, as they're already applying to the actor value. Note that a number between 0 and 100 usually means the effect is in percentages, and a 0 or 1 number will mean it will turn it off (0) or on (1). 0, for most actor values, will remove the effect.
To get started, here are some simple resistance values: ResistParalysis, ResistPoison, ResistMagic, ResistFire, ResistShock, ResistFrost, and ResistNormalWeapons; depending on what number between 0 and 100 you use, these will increase your resistance to the specified effect ("normal weapons" are any weapons that aren't silver, Daedric, or enchanted). There is also the uncommon and unseen ResistWaterDamage value, which will negate a percentage of lava damage dependent upon the number inputted, though strangely it does not affect the damage taken from drowning in water.
Some more simple ones are SpellAbsorbChance, SpellReflectChance, and ReflectDamage; depending on what number between 0 and 100 is used, these will increase the chance of absorbing or reflecting spells and reflecting damage.
The simple on/off effects are WaterWalking and WaterBreathing; they use 0 and 1, and are self-explanatory.
Blindness takes a number between 0 and 100 and affects how well an NPC or creature can visually detect you. At 0, how well the player sneaks is completely dependent on their skill, but as the number increases it becomes easier for the player to sneak around the NPC or creature as they become less capable of seeing the character until, at 100, they can't see at all. They can still hear, however, so the player can still be detected by any noise they make. Blindness also affects an NPC's ability to spot the theft of items, but not attempts to pick his or her pockets.
There are also the values Chameleon and Invisibility; Chameleon takes a number between 0 and 100, while Invisibility takes either 0 or 1. The problem with these is that Chameleon may stick on (NPCs won't notice you) even after you've turn it off, and Invisibility is bugged (if you go through a door you'll freeze - you probably shouldn't use it). Note that if you use either, you won't be able to see the invisibility effect until you go into 3rd-person and back, or vice-versa.
There are two, DetectLifeRange (0 to 100) and NightEyeBonus (0 or 1) that seem to not work at first. You'll need to save the game after you put them in then load that save before you'll get the night eye or detect life effects; the same goes for turning them off again.
AttackBonus and DefendBonus work in much the same ways.
 - AttackBonus, as you may guess, will increase the damage of your attack. The AttackBonus number you input here is, although invisible from your stats page, directly added to WeaponRating (see the damage formula for details) of all hits made with weapons; this means that it is subject to the influence of fatigue, sneaking, power attacks, enemy armor ratings and resistances, etc. It also has no effect on unarmed attacks, which includes Hand To Hand and creature attacks.
 - DefendBonus, as you also may guess, will increase your defense (a.k.a. armor rating). The DefendBonus number used is added directly to your armor rating, and will allow you to increase your effective armor rating beyond the normal cap of 85; however, the armor rating in the menu will only display up to 85, so if you increase your armor rating beyond that you'll have to keep track of it yourself.
MagickaMultiplier controls your maximum magicka. Each added number is equivalent to 10% of your magicka; the number used can be thought of as the percentage of the player's base magicka they'll be given divided by 10, in that 1 is 10%, 2 is 20%, 10 is 100%, 20 is 200%, etc., with almost no limit to how high it can go (the maximum number allowed is determined by your current magicka, but your magicka cannot exceed 2,147,483,647 with this command).
There are also three values to be used as negative effects on your enemies. Just click the NPC or creature you want affected and put in the command, but you probably don't want to put Player before SetAV unless you intend to paralyze yourself. These are all 0 or 1 values and pretty much self-explanatory: Paralysis, Silence, and StuntedMagicka. Stunted Magicka will stop the enemy's Magicka from recharging, and all three are permanent effects until you turn them off with 0.
Some other values that may be useful, or fun, to try changing on NPCs and creatures are Aggression, Responsibility, and Confidence. Aggression controls how much the NPC or creature wants to kill the things around it, 0 being passive and 100 being bloodthirsty. Responsibility controls how well the NPC will follow the law, 100 being law-abiding and 0 being kleptomaniacal (it obviously does not apply to creatures). Confidence controls how prone the NPC or creature is to fleeing or fighting, 0 being never fighting and 100 being never fleeing (a middling number will make them initially fight but flee if they're dying).
Other applications: You can change the positive actor values of allies and companions with these in the same way you'd change their negative values: by clicking them and putting in the command without the Player at the start. You can also turn many positive values into negative values to be used on your enemies by inputting a negative number instead of a positive number (ex. SetAV ResistMagic -50 will give a 50% weakness to magicka to the selected NPC or creature).
Other Targeted Commands[edit]
CreateFullActorCopy[edit]
This is kind of like the Player.PlaceAtMe command, but you don't need to know the ID. Click an NPC or creature then type in the command, and a clone of it will be created; you'll have to repeatedly re-enter the command if you

Taiwan opens up its public WiFi hotspots for tourism purposes
MANILA, Philippines - One of the problems with technological advances is that accessibility becomes a factor for enjoyment of new devices like tablets.
A new development at Georgia Tech, called Access4Kids, is working towards helping disabled children with controlling touch-based tablets.
Access4Kids aims to help those with fine-motor impairment to better control tablets. It is a "wireless input device that uses a sensor system to translate physical movements into fine-motor gestures to control a tablet."
The Access4Kids system uses 3 force-sensitive resistors to measure and convert pressure into control signals on a tablet.
As the news piece from Georgia Tech explains, "A child can wear the device around the forearm or place it on the arm of a wheelchair and hit the sensors or swipe across the sensors with his or her fist. The combination of sensor hits or swipes gets converted to different 'touch-based' commands on the tablet."
Its developers, professor Ayanna Howard and graduate student Hae Won Park, hope that Access4Kids can be fine-tuned and made into a commercial product.
As Howard explains, "It doesn't make sense for me to have one child look at it and say 'Hey that's really cool' and not have it out there in the world." - Rappler.com

The Piushaven pavilion revives Tilburg's old harbor pier. An impressive steel construction houses a new restaurant while adding a high-quality public space to the city. The robust pavilion creates a clear beacon for passers-by.
Raised public space
This important location in the city accommodates a combination of a public and private spaces. A restaurant shares the pier with a covered public space under a raised public plateau. The restaurant is situated close to the water so visitors can revel in magnificient views while keeping space available for public access to the pier. The roof shelters the public from rain and harsh sunlight.
A contextual icon
Local characteristics of the historic port inspired the design of the pavilion. Bulky black historic ships and robust bridges form iconic attributes of the harbor park. The pavilion's main shape, the robust and industrial construction, the matt black façade and the combination of steel and wood refer to the materials in the environment. In the past, the pier was used for handling of building materials. More recently, it offered space for public events. Now, events can still be organized in a variety of way so the pier can be enjoyed by many. The pavilion uses existing qualities of the pier to become a distinct icon in the public space of the Piushaven.
Solid structural architecture
The dark, heavy steel edge is an integral part of the building. Its structural platform serves several purposes: During the design-build process, an engineering principle was developed which joins all structural elements, from floor partitions to sun protection, into a structural unity. It doubles as parapet. The over-dimensioned construction and robust connections allow intensive public use on the deck. In order not to damage the historic wooden foundation present at the pier, the columns have been put at a two meter offset of the pier's edge. The steel frame creates overhangs where necessary. The moment resisting connections and the absence of shear walls ensure a floor plan that is freely configurable.
Engineering becomes the architecture. A robust architecture contributing to the public space of the Piushaven.

Factor in privacy in data-driven efforts
New Ideas in MarketingEssential news for marketers, summarised by YouGov
January 28, 2021, 5:55 AM UTC
Brands must adapt to the changing consumer sentiments around privacy and transparency.
With more consumers taking steps to protect data privacy and rethinking brand interactions, marketers must create data-driven practices addressing privacy and transparency concerns in 2021. As regulations like GDPR and CPRA regulating the collection and use of data, usual data-driven practices can be affected.
Joanna O'Connell, VP and principal analyst at Forrester says, brands must communicate their data collection processes and how they use data to consumers. Industry bodies like W3C are developing new standards for targeted advertising to overcome challenges like limited tracking identifiers.
However, brands must make fundamental changes to how consumer data is accessed and used, while respecting privacy and being transparent, adds O'Connell. Companies with direct consumer connection and access to first-party data, like Disney, are in a better position to tackle data collection complications.

It looks like Daniel Arsham's latest limited edition is set to release on November 26th at noon EST on his webshop. Entitled Sand Circle, the new art object will be produced in a run of 500 and continues the NY-based artist's fascination with lunar imagery.
Arsham further explains – "In the 1960's, during the space race there were different devices developed and created to explore distant galaxies and planets. One was famously a device that utilized sand, water, and air to create landscapes. This piece taps into that world while also focusing on the themes common in my work, specifically time and the logic of erosion and formation. Every time the Sand Circle is turned, the landscape on top is destroyed, yet there is a new view reforming on the bottom. They are eroding away, but simultaneously creating something new. In the Sand Circle, you are also taking part in 'unveiling,' as the sand will cover and uncover these moons within the piece. The moons are based on my studies of exoplanets and my time spent at NASA JPL. The moons are invented. They are unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time."

I'm fairly new to WordPress and I'm trying to figure out how to best set up permissions.
I want to restrict groups of people to only edit certain pages (IT department to only edit IT pages, HR department to only edit HR pages and so on).
From what I've read you take away permissions to 'edit others pages' from a role and then set the author of the page to the person you want to edit it.
Is there a standard way to set multiple authors or maybe a way to make a role an author rather than a single user?
Thanks
1
 - Can you edit your question to rephrase the last sentence? A role is something assigned to a user, a user can have a role, whereas your question suggests a role itself can log in, which makes little sense. Editors don't login, users with the editor role log in. – Tom J Nowell Oct 20 '17 at 9:50
1
No, to set a users role you have to have the admin role. Authors cannot change or set roles
An important thing to keep in mind is that it isn't an editor who logs in, it's a user with the edit role. Roles don't login, they're just collections of privileges assigned to users.
Is there a standard way to set multiple authors
Yes, give multiple users the author role or higher, a site can have more than one author
a way to make a role an author rather than a single user?
A role isn't a thing, it's just a collection of privileges. The equivalent is hiring the concept of a degree in medicine rather than a person who earned that degree and became a doctor. Be careful of how you word things
I want to restrict groups of people to only edit certain pages (IT department to only edit IT pages, HR department to only edit HR pages and so on).
You've ran into a classic XY problem, where you asked about a problem with your solution, not the original problem. You should ask a new question with just the above paragraph. Be aware that this isn't something you can do clicking around the interface, there will be code involved
1
It is not possible to set a role as a post's author in WordPress. In core it is also not possible to assign more than one author to one post.
What you are trying to achieve can probably be done with plugins which allow creation of user groups along with assigning access control rights to these groups. I guess there are several such plugins around which should be capable of solving your issue, I don't have a specific one to recommend though.

Ballymoney Town Hall
In 1863, the people of Ballymoney began making plans for a new civic building. It was to be known as the new Assembly Rooms and would include a library or reading room, chambers for the Town Commissioners, a public function room and a display area for the town's museum.
In order to pay for the construction, £1,300 was raised by public subscription and a further substantial amount was collected through a fund raising Bazaar.
The building has provided an invaluable service for this community ever since it was opened in August 1866.
By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Assembly Rooms had become known as the Town Hall. By 1932, urgent restoration and repairs were needed and work began on £6,000 worth of renovations. The Town Hall was re-opened by the Honourable Mr. Justice Megaw on Friday, 16 February 1934.
The Town Hall was now fortunate to have a magnificent stage in the main hall, which the local town guide book was later to describe as "perhaps the best small theatre in the Province". This became the venue for the still popular Ballymoney Drama Festival which was launched within a fortnight of the Town Hall's official re-opening.
In 2005, the Town Hall was restored once again, with a new museum and tourist information centre added to the rear of the building. It continues to be an important amenity for the entire community.

In March 1619 two sisters, Margaret and Phillipa Flower, were executed after a trial for witchcraft that had been especially notorious because their alleged victims were the Earl of Rutland and his family at Belvoir Castle. Borman uses the rich contemporary sources for the Flower case to investigate the beliefs about witchcraft that enabled this miscarriage of justice, but she also emphasizes its unusual features, and reveals how, behind events at Belvoir, lay a murderous conspiracy at the Jacobean court.

(FTI) provides for improved
searching of a Lotus Notes/Domino database. As issues with the FTI
are encountered, the troubleshooting steps below will offer a general means
of offering relief.
Confirming a Full-Text Index Error
An indication of an error or issues encountered with a FTI may include
FTI errors in the local or server log as well as errors when performing
a Full Text search. If encountered, appropriate actions should be
taken in order to resolve the issue.
Full-text Index Errors
offers a broad listing of errors encountered with FTI's.
Understanding the Scope
An essential focus point to resolving any FTI-related issue is to understand
the scope of the impact. A general breakpoint is determining if the
impact is isolated to a single database or if the scope includes all full-text
indexes created by a Lotus Notes client or Lotus Domino server.
Single Database Errors
Often, single database FTI errors are easily resolved by deleting
the current FTI
a new FTI
. If recreating
the FTI for the impacted database does not resolve the issue, please ensure
that the query is understandable and does not conflict with the reserved
words as defined in "Full-text
Should you find that your query is appropriate and recreating the FTI does
not offer relief, please proceed to Eliminating Other Potential Issues.
Multiple Database Errors
If multiple databases are impacted, attempt to recreate the FTI for any
of the databases. If errors are encountered upon the deletion or
subsequent creation, ensure that an anti-virus solution is not interrupting
the ability to successfully complete the FTI recreation. If this
is not the case and multiple attempts to recreate multiple FTIs fail, a
reinstallation of the Lotus Notes or Lotus Domino, dependent on the location
of the error occurrence, installation is required as the FTI DLLs may be
Should you find that a reinstallation of the Lotus Notes client or Lotus
Domino server not offer relief, please proceed to Eliminating Other
Eliminating Other Potential Issues
When initial troubleshooting techniques have proven no relief in FTI issues,
a subsequent step is to address potential corruption of the database for
with the FTI was created. This is achieved as follows:
1. Run Fixup
against the impacted database. Subsequently run Updall
-X against the impacted database as well.
2. If the issue is not resolved, create a new
replica of the impacted database. Using the new replica, attempt
to create a FTI.
3. If the issue is not resolved, copy the design
of the impacted database and create a new database with the design copy.
Once the documents from the old database have been copied over, attempt
to create an FTI with the new database.
Should you find that the recommended corruption resolution steps have not
offered relief, please proceed to Support Assistance.
If none of the recommendations in this full-text index troubleshooting
guide have offered relief for the full-text issues that have been encountered,
please contact Lotus
prepared to provide the following information so that a support engineer
can assist with the issue in the most efficient manner:
- The version of Lotus Notes or Lotus
Domino that the FTI issues have been reproduced on.
- The Operating System where Lotus Notes
or Lotus Domino is installed.
- The error message that is displayed
either in a Lotus Notes client dialogue or in a log file.
- The operation that produces the error,
- The size of the database that
is producing the error as well as an OS-level copy of the database, if

text: Being able to produce fine embroidery was a sign of female accomplishment and education in the 19th century. Martha "Patty" Phelps came to Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, in May 1804, only one month after her mother died. She spent the summer stitching this silk-on-silk embroidery recording her mother's and her young brother's deaths. Mourning pictures like these were a way of expressing a family's grief and sense of loss. The weeping willows and neoclassical funerary urns Patty Phelps painstaking sewed were traditional symbols of mourning in the 19th century.

Taiwanese craftsman Xianyi Chan makes his seemingly simple wood combs using traditional techniques. But there's more than meets the eye with this elegant instrument of personal care. They are sold today under the brand M Comb, and the inspiration for their design and use goes back centuries.
Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo combed his hair one hundred times each night before bed.
Flying bugs dance to greet the moon,
I let my hair down in front of moon-lit windows.
A thousand combs quickly wake up the skin and stimulate the bones,
Energy nourishes the roots like dewdrops.
Su Dongpo romanticized the ritual of the comb in ancient Chinese life. A modern person might wonder why. Was it because he didn't have a television to watch? Or was there something about the ritual that today's people don't know?
Meet the M Comb, a wooden masterpiece
Xianyi Chan has loved wood from a young age. He and his brother used to make wood hair clips and hairpins for money. One day, a customer said, "Before putting on hairpins and hair clips, we have to comb our hair. Why don't you make us some combs?" The brothers thought it was a great idea, so they added wood combs to their product line.
About ten years ago, Chan got a terrible toothache. He saw a dentist who sent him to a neurologist, who discovered a tumor in his ear. Even though it was benign, it was big enough to affect his trigeminal nerve, and Chan needed a surgery that had only a 50 percent chance of survival. After a 15-hour operation, Chan made it through, but his facial nerves had been damaged. He lost motor function completely in half of his face. He even had to tape his eye shut in order to sleep.

As part of his physical therapy, Chan received massages. The woman only used her hands, but it triggered a memory. He recalled a teacher by the name of Mula.
"Mula told me of the wood comb's many functions. Many of my customers who bought my combs took lessons with Mula. She taught them how to use the wood combs for massage."
The benefits of wood comb massages
After learning Mula's wood comb massage technique, Chan taught it to his masseuse. From that point on, Chan would bring his own comb to the salon when he got his daily 30-minute massage. Four months later, he was brushing his teeth when he noticed his mouth twitch. At first, he thought his mind was playing tricks, but he wiped the mirror and looked again. "I saw my face really twitched. I was so happy. I felt like I had just won the lottery."
After six months of wood comb massages, Chan regained 100 percent of his facial functions. His doctors were amazed.
People say "wood comb massage," but that's actually a misnomer, he says. The goal of massage is generally for blood circulation and muscle relaxation, whereas wood combing focuses on adjusting the body's qi or energy. The theory makes sense from both a traditional Chinese perspective as well as modern medicine, which has come to embrace the old ways more and more.
"It's not only our nose and mouth that breathe. All of our sweat pores breathe. When people have a cold, they feel miserable because they lack energy. The same is true when your sweat pores are congested, especially the sweat pores on your head, which are the greatest in number."
Chan says that people sometimes feel energized after combing their head because the qi congested under the skin gets expelled through the sweat pores. Once the qi is smoothed out, a person experiences a renewed sense of wellness.
Wood combs can also be used to massage other parts of the body. Chan combs his entire body every day. Qi can become murky and hover around, causing inflammation. A wood comb can expel that murky qi while stimulating fresh qi.
"The best part is that, unlike with medication, this method has no side effects. Wood combs are completely natural. It combs your energy and makes it flow so as to relieve pain and other symptoms."
Even knowing that Chan is a true lover of wood combs and a gifted artisan of many years, it's still surprising to discover that his process for bringing a comb into the world takes more than a hundred steps.
"Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Handmade quality
Chan's wood combs are always handmade. The wood is selected according to weight, colour, and aroma. Wood type is also important. One of Chan's most popular choices is the black and purple sandalwood.
The first step is to cut the wood into blocks. Chan will wait months, sometimes years, for the blocks to air dry. Once completely dry, the wood retains its shape and resists warping. Only then can it be used for production. Many manufacturers use heat to speed up the drying process. Chan believes this method alters the fibre, drains the resin, and altogether damages the wood.
After drying, patterns are drawn onto the blocks, and a thread saw is used to cut out the comb. A person then manually sands the comb until each tooth is cone-shaped with a pointy tip and thick base. This design ensures optimum energy flow. Chan got the idea from the shape of a boat. The comb moves energy like a boat moves water.
"Machine-made teeth are straight and easy to make," he says. "Mine are cone shaped, and the process involved is much more complicated. Only handmade teeth feel smooth on the body."

Every M Comb is crafted by hand from a single piece of wood, creating an elegant form and natural strength.
Wood combs made with love
Chan requires his artisans to leave their problems at home and maintain a positive mindset while making his combs. He believes that the emotions of the craftsman live in the craft. "Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Chan's process is one of intimacy. He says he notices nuances that others don't. "It's just like dating someone you love. You want to know everything about her, her family, her everything. That's why I say I've been in love with my combs all my life."
Chan believes virtue is the most important thing in a person's life. Without it, one doesn't have blessings or fortune. A tree also has virtue. Its virtue starts from being a seed. It falls into soil, grows downward to find its base in the earth, and wraps around the earth with its roots. It then grows upward, taking in light and giving out pure oxygen that refreshes us all. It blooms into flowers, bears fruit, and becomes a tall tree that protects and provides.

The wood blocks used to create the M comb are air-dried without heat to preserve the natural fibres, resins, and energy of the wood. Xianyi Chan instructs his artisans to leave their problems behind when creating the combs, so only positive energy goes into every product. Photography by Tiana Wang
"A tree doesn't take much from this world but offers a great deal. It's very quiet but always devoted. Even after it dies, we still use its body. I hope when people use their wood combs, they feel the virtue in the wood and are grateful."
Here's what Chan suggests: Every morning and every night, spend three to five minutes combing your hair. Start from the top of the head and comb downward in all directions. You'll smooth out the congested qi and let out the negative energy. Relax and enjoy the therapeutic process.
"In the old days, combing hair was a daily routine, a very natural thing to do," he says. "Modern people don't pay attention to it and have lost it. It actually has a great impact on our health. People say you can assess a person's success from his daily routines. This success might not be monetary. If you routinely smoke, then your lungs will not be successful. If you routinely comb your hair, your health will be very successful."
The M comb will be launched at in Jan 2021.

Potato flour is also produced in Germany and other countries, slices of cleaned potatoes being dried, ground, and sieved. In Germany a "potato sago" is produced. The starch cake obtained from the potatoes is crumbled to produce reasonably uniform-size particles that are rounded by tumbling or similar operations, heated to gelatinize the outside layers of the starch, and then dried.
Potatoes are frequently served whole or mashed as a cooked vegetable and are also ground into potato flour, used in baking and as a thickener for sauces. Potatoes are highly digestible. They also supply vitamin C, amino acids, protein, thiamin, and nicotinic acid.

Why is Blackberry also called Crackberry?
The popular phone, Blackberry is commonly given to people working for a company, since it's easy to use for reading company emails. The term "Crackberry" originated because people quickly became addicted to their Blackberrys just like they could become addicted to Crack cocaine – a real drug. Because many people are addicted to reading emails, the term Crackberry became quite popular as a fond nickname for Blackberry.

Objective: The objective of this experiment is to study bending loss.
Whenever the condition for angle of incidence of the incident light is violated the losses are introduced due to refraction of light. This occurs when fiber is subjected to bending. Lower the radius of curvature more is the loss.
- Connect function generator square wave output to LED (emitter).
- Connect optical fiber between LED output and PIN (detector) input. An oscilloscope is connected to PIN (detector) output.
- Select the number of turn by clicking the options given. First click "1 Turn optical fiber" button.
- Click run continuously button to run the experiment.
- The received signal can be seen in the oscilloscope. Measure the amplitude of the received signal and name it V1.
- Then change the number of turns to 2 by clicking the option "2 turn optical fiber".
- Measure the amplitude of the received signal by oscilloscope and name it V2.
- Compare the value obtained previously with the latest one. It can be seen easily that due to bends, loss occurs in the cable.
- Explain through sketch how bending loss occur?
- How are micro bending losses reduced?

Istros was an ancient city near the mouth of the Danube River, in today's Romania. Its coins have an intriguing obverse, as they depict two juvenile heads facing in opposite directions.
The image could allude to the rising and the setting of the sun god Helios. Another possibility is that it relates to a geographical myth current in Antiquity of the two branches of the Danube River. It was known that one of the branches empties itself into the Black Sea; while the other was supposed to end in the Adriatic Sea. The Danube thus, people believed, connected the two important trade routes to the east and to the west.

REPORTING ENRICHMENT FORMS
Production reporting can be time-consuming. Our Reporting Enrichment Forms (REF) eliminates the need to spend hours filling in spreadsheets by capturing data automatically from web-based forms and your Fleet Management System. Managing business targets, shift handover notes and machine configurations has never been easier.
Example Use Cases
REF is a versatile tool which can be easily customised to meet your business needs. Example uses include:
Asset Groupings: Assigning multiple assets to a single piece of equipment - for example, a drill rig with multiple engines operating in a region under a single fleet manager. Aggregated reports can then be created based on these hierarchy levels as desired.
Recommended Actions: Creating action lists based on specific operating parameters. This helps to keep your fleet management organised, and in particular, can help less experienced personnel manage the fleet.
Asset Configurations: Adjusting equipment configurations such as tonnage capacity, enabling more realistic and meaningful reporting.
Production Targets: Setting up target production tonnes per shift to compare to actual tonnes produced, making clear where targets are and aren't being met.
Shift Notes: Adding comments to a shift to provide context for performance, allowing you to note factors such as adverse weather conditions, accidents and poor loading conditions
How it works
REF allows you to input data on-site targets, limits, grouped assets etc. into customisable web-based forms. The form-entered information is then captured in a database alongside data from your Fleet Management System and other automated sources. This allows you to easily generate reports through software such as SAP BusinessObjects. Multiple linked pages can be quickly generated through REF for each business use.

Disease largely to blame for worsening mental illness life expectancy gap: study
By Francene Norton
The study found the overall gap in life expectancy was 15.9 years for men and 12 years for women.
Reuters: Shannon Stapleton - file image
A new study has found mental illness sufferers in Australia are dying up to 16 years earlier than the general population, with most deaths due to disease rather than accidents or suicide.
A University of Queensland team followed 300,000 people in Western Australia who were diagnosed with mental illnesses, and compared health experiences and death rates to the general population over a 20-year period.
Diagnoses included alcohol and drug disorders, schizophrenia, psychoses, neurotic disorders, depressive, and other mental health disorders.
Patients with alcohol or drug disorders had the lowest life expectancy, with a gap of more than 20 years.
Dr Steve Kisely from UQ's School of Population Health has told the ABC most deaths are due to physical causes such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, rather than suicide or accidents.
He says people with a mental illness may sometimes miss early signs of illness or have worse access to specialised treatment.
"For instance, people who have breast cancer or colon cancer diagnosed - people with a mental health problem have actually less of a chance of getting the operation than someone with the same disorder who didn't have a mental health problem," he said.
Gap widens
Dr Kisely says the gap is worse than for smokers and similar to Indigenous Australians, but receives far less attention.
"There has been a very understandable focus in terms of closing the gap of life expectancy between Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians," Dr Kisely said.
"But the gap for people with mental illness is even greater - people still think of increased mortality as due to suicide."
"Obviously we need to address suicide, but we're dealing with a problem that's nearly 10 times as great as suicide and there isn't nearly the same amount of attention given to it."
The study also found the differential in the gap increased by about two years between 1985 and 2005.
"Whatever we're doing, we're doing it worse, rather than better," Dr Kisely said.
Dr Kisely says closing the gap for people with mental illness requires a multi-faceted approach.
Lifestyle factors
He says lifestyle factors are an important first step.
"We know that with people with schizophrenia, about 90 per cent of them will smoke and will spend about 40 per cent of their disposable income on tobacco products," he said.
"Clearly helping people to stop smoking would be a great help."
He says the next thing is to make sure people are registered with their general practitioner and see them regularly.
"We also need to encourage family doctors to have a high index of suspicion when people with a chronic mental illness come to them with new symptoms," he said.
"Don't attribute them to their underlying mental illness, but explore more to see if it's the start of a new medical condition.
"Lastly, when a problem is recognised, ensure they get the right specialist treatment."

Randomization is the process of perturbing data points to provide security through information-theoretic uncertainty. It is appropriate in applications where individual data points are to be protected, but statistical information is to be revealed.
We propose that the binary randomization protocol be viewed as a channel for transmitting the information that is to be kept secret. We show that a simple application of the basic theorems of Shannon provides lower bounds on the complexity of successful attacks. We use these bounds to define the privacy provided by a protocol: the (tight) lower bound on the number of queries required to successfully estimate a single attribute. Through the use of Shannon's channel coding theorem, the privacy of randomization is the inverse of the protocol channel capacity.

Oblivion:Console Command Tutorial
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Jump to: navigation, search
Warning: Use console commands with caution! It is easily possible to mess up your game if you modify settings at the console. Even if short term the game functions normally, you may later discover that you have made it impossible to complete a quest and therefore you cannot proceed normally with game play; fixing that problem can then make new glitches pop up elsewhere. Create a permanent saved game before experimenting with the console. If you need to use the console to fix a glitch, try to use the least powerful command possible. It is advisable to use the "Test Hall" for experimentation with console commands—for more information, see below.
Here's something for those of you who have trouble using, would like to better their understanding of, or would like to learn how to use more of the various console commands. There are literally hundreds, perhaps thousands, of console commands; this obviously won't cover all of these, but it'll do its best to cover the console commands that most people would find useful.
Contents
Opening the Console[edit]
The console is opened with the tilde (~) key when using the International English keyboard layout; it's left of the 1 key, below the Esc key, and above the Tab key (Or the Key located to the left of the "Z", Depending on your keyboard settings. If it doesn't open the console then you probably have one or more of the following issues:
 - You have an infrared remote sensor hooked up to your computer (used for the Windows Media version of Windows). Disconnect it and try again.
 - Note that this also works on some Vista computers.
 - You have Windows Vista installed. Download and use the Ring of Console mod to access the console. (The mod requires you to have the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) installed to work: you can download it here.) If equipping the ring still doesn't work, try hotkeying the ring to a slot. Then activating and deactivating it should bring up the console cursor at the bottom left. (This does not apply to all versions of Windows Vista).
 - You're using an international keyboard. Depending on the country your keyboard comes from, the tilde key might not be placed as described, though the key in that location may still open the console; if it does not, then using the above mod should solve the problem.
For Apple Computer Users[edit]
If you are using a virtual machine (Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, Virtual Box, or similar) on an Apple computer, the key may be mapped differently by default, even if the tilde key appears to work normally in Windows itself. One solution to this proposed in the Parallels forum is to download and install Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, a freeware tool that lets you create custom key assignments. This may or may not work for you (see the Discussion tab for further info).
Another alternative is to install a mod such as Change Console Key, which is an Oblivion Script Extender plugin that lets you reassign the console invocation key within Oblivion itself. Assigning key number 34 (which is PageDown in Windows, or usually Fn-DownArrow on the Macbook) seems to work well.
The preceding has been tested on a Macbook Pro Retina running OSX 10.8.2 through 10.9.0, with Windows 7 64-bit running inside Parallels Desktop 8 and 9.
Notes[edit]
 1. Console commands are not case-sensitive - they are only capitalized in this guide for clarity.
 2. In the case of console commands that require IDs, the initial 0s of an ID can be omitted. This means that if an item's ID says 00032564, then you only have to use 32564 in the console command.
 3. Some items and NPCs will have multiple IDs all sharing a name. This can mean several things for items: it is leveled; it has several different looks shared under a single name, such as bones; or, it has several different types shared under a single name, such as soul gems. For an NPC, it probably means that it is a spawning enemy NPC such as a bandit or a marauder.
 4. Any IDs that pertain to objects in a mod, be it official or user-made, will not work in commands unless the first two digits in the ID are the mod's load order (including the base Oblivion.esm file) in hex; hex goes from 00 to 09, then from 0A to 0F, then from 10 to 19, then from 1A to 1F, etc. For example, if the mod is the 3rd mod in the list (including Oblivion.esm), then any ID in that mod will start with 2 (02); if it's the 15th in the list, the IDs will start with E (0E); if it's 42nd, they will start with 29. Alternatively, you can manually change the load order of the desired mod to be first to load and work without the hassle of finding the load order. To do this, you'll need a mod manager: you can download one here.
 5. Pressing the up and down keys while the console command window is open will scroll through the previously entered console command, if there are any. Pressing the page up and page down keys will scroll through the list of previously entered commands, if it's big enough to be cut off.
 6. The maximum value for the level of anything (character level, attributes, skills, etc.) is 255. You can go above this with spells and enchantments, but when using the console you can't increase anything beyond 255; if you increase it past 255 with an incremental command (such as ModPCS) it will reset to 0.
 7. If the instructions tell you to click something, have the console open when you click it.
 8. When the instructions say to type something that means hit enter after you've typed it.
 9. This guide will make occasional references to "cells." A cell is simply an area; interior areas take up one cell each, while exterior areas may be made up of many cells interconnected.
 10. An ID is a hex code (an 8-digit code made up of numbers and letters, though they can be shorter with the initial 0s omitted) that the game uses to reference objects, whether they be NPCs, creatures, buildings, flames, anything at all, and most console commands use these references as a parameter to target certain object types.
 11. There are two types of IDs: reference IDs and base IDs. Most commands use base IDs, but a few use reference IDs. Each command in this guide will specify which it uses.
 12. If a command parameter is a string, it must be enclosed in quotes " " if it contains any spaces. For example: To rename player to Joe (which contains no spaces), Player.SetFullActorName Joe is OK. However, to rename player to Joe Bloggs (which contains a space), Player.SetFullActorName "Joe Bloggs" must be used. This is because the console treats spaces as parameter separators and Joe Bloggs will be treated as two parameters (error, SetFullActorName takes one parameter only) whereas "Joe Bloggs" is treated as one parameter (no error).
 13. If you want to write a bat-executable textfile with more than one command, you can use the symbol ";" as a comment indicator. In a large script this can be useful to keep track of what's been added. Everything after the comment symbol will not be executed but it will show in console output.
Finding IDs in the Construction Set (CS)[edit]
First, you will of course require the CS, downloadable here. The CS is a tool that is used to edit the world of Oblivion and contains most of the game's data. Once you have your CS installed and running, go into "File" and "Data" - double-click the file Oblivion.esm and click OK (note: if you want to find the ID of something from a mod, you'll also need to load that mod's .esp file). Once the file has loaded, you can use the Object Window to find any ID you want to by browsing the categories on the left, finding the desired object, then looking at its ID. The ID column is the second column from the left (between "EditorID" and "Count") and by default is too small to see any IDs with, so drag it larger from the top of the column. Also, by default the rows are listed in alphabetical order by their Editor ID; to make it easier to find things, click the top of the "Name" column to list the rows in alphabetical order by their name. Now, say, for example, one wanted to find the Xivilai's ID: Go under "Actors - Creatures - Daedra" then find the Xivilai and look at its ID.
Commands[edit]
Player-Targeted Commands[edit]
Player.AddItem BaseID #[edit]
(Only works with item IDs.)
A very commonly used console command. This will add the specified number of the specified item to your character's inventory. The item ID for gold is simply F.
Example: Player.AddItem
