A Fresh Look at Glasshouse Design
Celebrated as the most energy-efficient structure of its kind when it opened in 2006, the impressive 60-foot-high, 12,000-square-foot Tropical Forest Conservatory takes visitors from Pittsburgh and beyond on a colorful and inspiring journey through some of the most botanically rich regions of the world. Incorporating impactful ethnobotanic displays, cascading waterfalls and lush greenery, this state-of-the-art facility was intended to raise the bar for glasshouse design and construction, further proving how favoring a fresh approach over past conventions can provide solutions to nearly any sustainability challenge — in this case, eliminating many of the high costs associated with heating and cooling.
In sharp contrast to our 1893 glasshouse, which was designed with the prevailing technology of the time and relied upon limited passive ventilation systems that poorly regulate interior temperature, the resultant Tropical Forest Conservatory quickly revealed the fruits of its unconventional design, using 40 percent less energy than traditional glasshouses as it maintains more consistent temperatures all year round; in fact, there is no greenhouse effect at all in this structure, it is always cooler inside than out in the summer, and it uses practically no electricity — thanks to its unique shape and a number of other energy-saving strategies. Today, 100 percent of the building's energy needs, as well as those of the rest of the Phipps campus, are met with solar power and wind energy generated both onand off site.
Click the sections below for additional details on project features and more.
Vision: Rethinking Convention
- Unlike traditional glasshouses, the Tropical Forest Conservatory features a high south wall and a roof that slopes downwards from south to north, allowing for the use of energy-saving double-pane insulated glass on the roof, while still maintaining proper light levels for growing plants.
- Using the results of a tracking study that monitored the path the sun takes across the sky on winter days, our engineers designed the south-facing wall to be at an optimal height, ensuring that 100 percent of the winter sun permeates the conservatory interior. This wall contains single-pane glass, enabling the full spectrum of light that plants require to enter the structure.
- Since the roof is sloped, the sun never passes through it in winter, making it possible to install energy-saving double-pane glass that could otherwise not be used in a greenhouse due to its ability to block light and solar radiation. In cold weather, this type of glass maximizes heat gain and limits the escape of warm air through the roof. In the summer, solar heat gain is minimized.
- Further contributing to the effectiveness of the design, the Tropical Forest Conservatory also boasts a revolutionary open-roof system that facilitates the release of hot air, virtually eliminating the greenhouse effect and the need for costly exhaust fans often employed in traditional conservatories to manage heat build-up. These vents are controlled by an Argus computer system, which opens and closes them based upon internal and external conditions.
Sensibility: Energy-Saving Strategies
- Enhancing the efficiency of the Tropical Forest Conservatory even more are a number of energy blankets and shade cloths on the roof that provide shade in the summer and thermal insulation in the winter. Like the roof vents, these are controlled by the intelligent Argus Control System.
- Western and northern walls made from concrete are insulated on the outside to achieve thermal mass, collecting heat during the day and releasing it at night as temperatures fall.
- A root zone heating system installed in the plant beds consists of a series of underground tubes that use hot water to deliver radiant heat directly to the roots of plants, effectively promoting their growth and allowing Phipps to save energy by lowering ambient air temperature.
- Six 24-inch-diameter, 300-foot-long concrete earth tubes buried 15 feet below ground, where the temperature remains constant at 55 degrees, also help to eliminate the need for mechanical cooling. When the vents are open, a vacuum suction is created by hot air exiting the roof. The earth tubes then pull fresh air in from the outside, effectively cooling it as it passes through.
- While no longer on site, a solid oxide fuel cell prototype created by Siemens Power Generation to convert natural gas into electricity was the first to ever be used in a public garden.
Advanced Computer Control
- Anticipatory computer controlled weather and temperature reacting system
- Maximum energy efficiency
- Smoother, more uniform growing conditions
- Better plant quality and uniformity
- Precise equipment control and advanced data recording system
- Energy-saving double-pane roof glass insulates while maintaining proper light levels for growing plants.
- Special Events Hall adjacent to the Conservatory features the first commercial installation of Solarban 70 XL solar control low-emissivity glass, the most energy-efficient glass available at the time, designed and manufactured by PPG Industries, Inc.
Radical Roof Design
- Tall south-facing wall allows for insulated double-pane roof glass while still maintaining proper light levels for growing plants
- Half of the 12,000 sf roof opens to eliminate the "greenhouse effect"
- Vents are Argus computer controlled
Symbiotic Heating Systems
- Radiant floor heat for visitors
- Thermal massing interior concrete walls collect solar energy and release the heat at night
- Green roof over support facilities
- Fogging system for evaporative cooling
- Prevent convective and radiant heat loss
- Provide shade in summer and thermal insulation in winter
- Guided electronically by weather station link
- Argus computer controlled
- 100% passive cooling replaces need for HVAC
- Six 24" diameter, 300' long concrete tubes are installed at 15 feet below grade, where the temperature is a steady 55° F (13°C) year round
- Hot outside air cools as it travels through the underground tubes and into the conservatory
- Vacuum created by hot air exiting the roof vents pulls the cooled air into conservatory using no electricity

Recklinghausen Tonometer (sphygmomanometer), Germany, _PHONE_
This tonometer is a type of sphygmomanometer. A sphygmomanometer measured the force, rate and variations in the pulse. The tonometer consists of two overlapping cuffs. It measures the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This means the force that blood flows with from the heart into the arteries and the forces as the heart relaxes and fills again with blood. It is the commonest technique for measuring blood pressure. It is also completely safe. This device was developed by Heinrich von Recklinghausen (_PHONE_) in the 1920s. He was a leading researcher in blood pressure and blood pressure measurement.

./blakely "RPN formula" resolution > output.gif
./blakely "xx*yy*+" 64 > paraboloid.gif./blakely 9 32 > empty.gif time./blakely 0 250 > flat.gif
Several IOCCC themes (RPN calculator, animated GIF generator, ray tracing) in one package! Very impressive!
The checkerboard pattern in the output can be broken. Could you figure out how?
Larger GIF files confuse some image viewers.
This program renders a generic RPN expression in ray-traced animated GIF form. The expression in spatial variables x and y is specified on the command-line with the required resolution, and an animated GIF showing a fly-around of the resulting surface is output to stdout.
The program should be run as:
./blakely xy* 32 > pic.gif
where the first parameter is a RPN expression, and the second is the width of the required GIF, up to a maximum of 250.
The expressions are written in Reverse Polish Notation with the following characters recognised:
NB all arithmetic is done in double precision, so 23/ is two-thirds, rather than 0
The surface plotted corresponds to -1 <= x,y <= 1 and for best results, the generated z value should lie between -1 and 1.
If there is a division by zero, square-root of a negative number, or similar operation, then the results are undefined.
For test-runs, use a resolution of 32. For simple expressions, the GIF generation should take only a few seconds with a modern processor and full optimization. Run-time scales as O(N3) with resolution N, and more complex expressions take longer to compute. For example, increasing the resolution of ripple.gif to 250 took ~35 minutes to render on an i7 processor.
./blakely xy* 32 > saddle.gif./blakely xx*yy*1++d5*ct/ 64 > ripple.gif
A generic root-finding algorithm to find the point of intersection between a ray and the surface is done using a simple forward search from the eye. In order to make the rendering realistic, both the value of the expression, and its derivative with respect to x and y must be tracked. This is done using an obvious stack-based approach.
Much of the obfuscation is achieved through the use of single-letter variables and _TAG_. The characters output for the GIF format are generated in myriad and wonderful ways, making use of XOR, return values from putchar, and odd expressions. The layout is in the form of X Y Z.
ASCII is assumed since many bytes for the GIF output are generated from characters given in the source code. On compilation a few warnings about parentheses come up when using gcc 4.6.3, and one about no return value from main() (who uses exit codes anyway?), but clang 3.1 emits no warnings.
(Note that the author may or may not be able to answer all of the above questions.)

Trying out ideas for light-up paper sculptures.
I've been trying out different ideas for a paper sculptures workshop - the sculptures will light up in the dark (using the circuit from my last post). I'm going to use different thicknesses and types of paper but also paper that has been laser cut and hand cut to cast shadows and patterns.
Paper Circuit turns an LED on in the Dark
Testing out a paper circuit for a workshop - the circuit uses a light dependent resistor to switch an LED on in the dark. The circuit is going to be used as part of paper sculptures which will light up in the shade or when the sensor (a light dependent resistor) is covered. I've used copper tape and 'bare' conductive paint to make the connections. The LED looks lot brighter out out of direct sunlight.
Trying out a makey makey using garageband to make a leaf piano where each leaf triggers a different piano key using 'musical typing' in garageband. the leaves could be programmed to make different sounds by using soundplant.
Prototype at FACT
During the summer holidays I worked with Neil Winterburn to deliver Prototype at FACT.. A three day programme of activities for young people which explored ideas of hacking and inventing. This included an introduction to smart materials and e-textiles. We looked at different smart materials; thermochromic (heat sensitive), photochromic (light sensitive) and hydrochromic (changes with water) and how they have been used by artists and designers. They then explored their own ideas using the different smart paints and materials provided. Ideas included: a dragon headband that changed colour with sunlight, bags that blossomed in the sunlight, a bag that changed colour if your drink leaked, shoes with flames that appeared in the heat and many more…
Glowdoodle workshops with young people at play & youth centres in Liverpool. Glowdoodle makes light drawing simple using a webcam the program saves the image frame by frame building up an image as you go. This makes it easier as what you are drawing appears on the screen while you are drawing. We used a variety of different lights to get different effects including; finger torches, battery fairy lights, light-up shoe laces and light filters to change the colour of torches. A great extension of this would be to make the light sources with the young people as part of the workshop or to save the images as you go to make animations. Glowdoodle was made by Eric Rosenbaum in collaboration with Jay Silver. Glowdoodle is free to download from the link below - you can also use it on the website.
Soft circuits workshops using hand-made felt battery holders and different conductive materials for those who can and can't sew . The circuits were taped on using conductive fabric tape. The battery holders and LED's we're attached to the circuit with conductive thread or conductive paint (we used paint pens from bare conductive ).

What is better for muscle mass – Eq or Deca?
What is better for muscle mass – Eq or Deca?
Content:
equipoise reviews
People who regularly go in for sports and watch their figure want their time and energy to bear fruit. Therefore, the choice of sports nutrition always remains relevant. But what is better to take for muscle growth: Deca or Eq?
That is, in essence, if Equipoise gains, the time Equipoise enters the blood increases due to the fact that initially this steroid enters the stomach, and only then splits and begins to be absorbed, and only then enters the blood. It turns out that taking Equipoise in finished form is better, but is it really so?
Eq or Deca?
If we talk about structural differences, then Boldenone Undecylenate is a simpler substance. Essentially, amines are Deca steroids, only in split form.
From this it turns out that the difference between Deca or Eq is that the latter are absorbed longer. And that is all? Not really, there are a couple more moments. Getting into Deca's stomach, be it a cocktail or a dry powder, it ends up in the gastric juice, where it begins to break down into simpler substances. But since the gastric juice is a set of enzymes and hydrochloric acid, the stay in it does not pass without a trace. As a result of such processing Some of the nutrients dissolve and do not enter the intestine, as the active substance.
Another difference between Deca or Eq is the presence of additional impurities. If you take high-quality steroids and compare their, then you can see that in Eq steroid nothing but amines. In Deca you can find: dyes, flavors and flavor enhancers. This is all added to the powder mixture in order to give a pleasant taste.
READ Clinical Equipoise - in sports nutrition
In many ways, therefore, the average price for Eq steroid can exceed the cost of Deca steroids.
Pros and cons of Eq steroid
The first advantage, which was noted earlier, is that the Eq 300 steroid does not need digestion. This means that when they get into the body, such bio-additives begin to be absorbed almost immediately and get into the blood faster. The rate of assimilation of amines depends on the individual characteristics, but on average takes 5-10 minutes.
Deca steroids, however, require additional cleavage and only then they enter the small intestine, where they begin to be absorbed. The total time takes about 1 hour.
If we talk about what time of absorption is preferable for the organism, there is almost no difference.
The second advantage is that in eq 300 steroid there are no fats and carbohydrates. That is, sports nutrition in the form of amines is a pure protein. In Deca, on average, there are 5-7% fats and 10-15% carbohydrates. Therefore, equipoise gains will be more useful for those who want to lose weight. This is a definite plus for losing weight and unpleasant minus for those who want to build muscle.
The third advantage is that Eq 300 steroid is more convenient to take. Their no need to mix in a shaker, which to all you need to carry and wash. For their intake does not require additional fluids in the form of milk or other quickly perishable products. All you need is to take a few pills with any water or liquid that will be on hand (with the exception of alcohol). If amines are in powder form, they can also be stirred in any liquid.
READ How are Equipose and Rapid Muscle Growth Connected?
Pros and cons of Deca
As counterarguments, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the 3 advantages of Deca, which are in no way inferior to the advantages of your opponent.
The first plus of Deca is that the presence of fats and carbohydrates in mixtures better nourishes the body. This means that no matter what the goal is: to lose weight or gain muscle mass, the Deca technique will be useful. In the case of weight loss, this supplement can act as a snack. But Equipose cannot do this, because it is quite difficult to saturate the body with pills.
The second advantage is that they split for quite a long time. Among them are casein, which is recommended to take during sleep. The fact is that the sleeping organism continues to expend the energy necessary for recovery. If a "at hand" there are no simple sources of energy, then the body will undertake the splitting of muscle fibers, which is not good.
equipoise gains
If you use only Equipose, then they will quickly digest and the body will starve in 1-2 hours.
The third and most important plus is the cost of Deca, which is cheaper than Equipose.
The cost difference arises because additional processing is required to obtain equipoise gains. That is, the manufacturer needs artificial stomach in order to break down proteins and preserve useful acids. After that, the process of pressing into tablets or capsules. As a result, equipoise gains become more expensive, which leads to an increase in market value.
Equipoise gains
It so happens that without taking Deca or Eq is not enough, and this is a fairly frequent practice in bodybuilding. That is why there is a need to use two types of additives. But how, in this case, to take supplements to get the maximum benefit?
READ How to take Equipoise for cutting
Simultaneous reception These supplements are possible and harmless to health, but still not recommended. The fact is that by consuming two bioadditives simultaneously, the overall effectiveness is lost.
Separate reception Supplements are a priority, since in this case both products are assimilated without residue. In this case, first of all you need to use Equipoise, which will enter the blood within 10 minutes.
In this case, there is a scheme that will bring the greatest effect from the use of both mixtures:
 - Reviews suggest that it is better to take before and after exercise to add more energy to the muscles. It will also help you recover faster after a hard time.
 - Reception of Deca is recommended in hours separate from training or in 30 minutes after its termination.
Reception of these supplements is recommended 3 times a day. Reception time depends on the training schedule and rest days.
Reviews and conclusions
In conclusion, it will be useful to draw a line in which to indicate the main conclusions about which of the additives is better and in what their fundamental difference.
 1. If you dwell on a specific choice – amines, it all depends on personal preference. For the most part, there are no significant differences between them.
 2. Reviews of the drug say that it is recommended to take those who want to lose weight.
It turns out an interconnected cycle, which does not allow to give an unequivocal answer to all possible cases. Personal recommendation: if overweight is present, then it is better to take amines. They will help you lose weight and give your muscles relief.

This paper answers the question—can citizens be shamed in a manner that is morally justifiable—by forwarding a theory of just shaming. Shaming has a divisive history in political theory. The volumes of work on both sides seems to point at a moral dilemma: shame looks to be a helpful social practice, yet it engenders unignorable negative consequences. In this paper, however, I argue that shaming in politics must be analyzed more in terms of when and how shaming is morally permissible. Shaming, employed in moments of citizen vice only, has to potential to reform citizen conduct. Furthermore, approaching shaming as more of a dialogue than a punishment can make citizens more amenable to change. Like with "just war" and other non-ideal theories, this paper accepts that politics may permit practices that are normally considered immoral—like shaming—in the pursuit of justice. From here, Eric Beerbohm's citizen ethics and Iris Marion Young's "five faces" typology help construct the norm that just shaming will utilize: citizen excellence, or the combatting social oppression actively. Employing this norm, I establish two sets of questions (inspired by just war theory) that will constitute the framework of just shaming. The first, jus ad shaming, asks under what circumstances can citizens be shamed. The second, jus in shaming, asks how someone must act when shaming citizens. From these questions, I construct three conditions—the complicity, activation, and mesomensch conditions—and two guidelines—intent and reciprocity—that delineate how just shaming must be conducted.

Difference Between Appendix and Annex
appendixAre you planning to publish a project? Well it's pretty normal if you happen to get confused between are you supposed to add an appendix or an annex at the end of the project. Reading through this article would be a good idea if you're looking to clear out the differences between the two and make sure that your project is free from unwanted mistakes.
An annex is essentially part of the main text but is placed at the end separately so as to make the whole document clearer; whereas an appendix is essentially additional text which full fills the purpose of supplementing the main text. In a way one could say an annex can also be called an appendix but the same is not true for appendix.
An appendix basically contains data that cannot be placed in the main text. It is referenced in different parts of the main body and ideally should not be a stand alone document. A trick to remember this is that one is appending data to a document the aim of doing this is adding greater details and visual examples that would help in better understanding of the main text.
Annex basically could be considered a completely different document altogether very often called a stand alone document which could not be added to the original document but still holds great importance to the overall publication and thus it is important that it still is added. In general, for policy matters, the appendices are usually assumed to have been written by the original author of the document. The annexes, on the other hand, are usually assumed to have been written by an external party. When writing your project it is very important the information about the various sources that you have used while making the project whether you have copied it or modified it and then added it to the document. Also make sure you have proper copyright permissions.

 1. it will be well understood if it is provided with some examples. theory is good but giving example will definitely help to understand and remeber for a long term.
 - I would think for example, a dissertation I am writing about a UN Summit….
 I will place the Declaration of Principles from the Summit in the Annex…this is a standalone document that under no circumstances would I place in the text…BUT it is highly relevant to the entire dissertation as a document — also, it wasn't written by me but by the Summit delegates…so I think then would go into an Annex…
 In the Appendix, I would maybe put something in that I wanted to clarify, maybe some more details of the theory behind the "conceptual framework" that I chose to use in order to analyze this Summit. Some people when they use formulas and stuff, will explain the details of how the formulas work in an Appendix…
 Additionally, sometimes raw data like a interview transcript would be in the Appendix if you are referring to an interview you conducted in the text, and want to show the quote in context, or refer the reader there for more details….
 I think these might be good examples…and from what I can tell this would be right…

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented and major disruptive event for the global economy. The measures taken to contain the pandemic has triggered a major global downturn, but the full impact and scale of risks facing the financial system remain uncertain as the situation evolves.
Along with the rest of the financial system, Institutions offering Islamic Financial Services (IIFS) are likely to face both immediate and future challenges. It raises number of pertinent questions for regulators supervising IIFS and for IIFS themselves regarding whether there are any Islamic finance specificities that create specific implications, risks or challenges which require a different regulatory or supervisory approach from that of conventional financial institutions. Additionally, while governments, central banks, regulators, and international organisations have moved rapidly to address the immediate effects of COVID-19, questions remain on how policy should continue to evolve to preserve financial stability and address the potential medium and longer term effects of COVID-19 on the financial system, and what these might be for the IIFS. This executive programme aims to try and answer some of these crucial questions and to encourage discussion, debate and sharing of country challenges, experiences and policy approaches.
- To discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the global financial system and global economy and its implications for the overall risk environment of IIFS
- To discuss the implications of COVID-19 for IIFS and identify specific risk factors that might arise in relation to specificities of IIFS
- To discuss the areas where regulatory responses may be needed to address the impact of COVID-19 to ensure the resilience and stability of IIFS and the various approaches that are being taken by different regulators
The details of the Executive Programe are as follow:
Date: 7 July 2020
Time: 14:30 - 17:50 (Malaysia time)
Venue: via web conference/webinar

test case, PHP Unit will also have setup/tear down. Here is sample PHP Unit test case structure :
 1: <?php
 2: class SignUpTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
 3: {
 4: protected function setUp()
 5: {
 6: // Initialization methods
 7: }
 8: protected function tearDown()
 9: {
 10: //Closure activities/ methods
 11: }
 12: // tests
 13: public function testMe()
 14: {
 15: }
 16: }
So, now lets see the command. When we need to generate a PHP format format test case:
php codecept.phar generate:phpunit <suitename> <testname>
[if you use composer, then : <path to codecept>/codecept generate:phpunit <suitename> <testname> ]
For example, if we want to generate an Acceptance test case named as SignUp in phpunit format , then
php codecept.phar generate:phpunit acceptance SignUp
image
We can see a file generated SignUpTest.php in the tests/acceptance/ folder and it will follow the configuration of acceptance.suite.yml
So, we can generate phpunit format test case and we can ready to write codes.
Note : Usually, we create PHP Unit test cases for Unit Testing, not acceptance testing. And, php unit test is more familiar to developer rather than traditional tester or BDD testers.

What is Cest Test Case format in Codeception? How to create Cest Test Case?
In this article we are going to see How can we create Cest test case in codeception?
As we know , codeception has 3 type of tests, we have to define what type of test we are going to build.
What is Cest format ?
This actually traditional PHPUnit/Junit format. It is better for developer or unit testers to read. Even, personally I like this type of test case as I am habituated in writing Unit Tests cases. We can group test steps, having a private function as common test steps. This is helpful when you have long test steps.
When we need to create PHPUnit type test case In codeception, we need to use Cest as post fix of a test which is understand by codeception command. That means, if our test case name is SugnUp, so if we are writing BDD type test case, then it will be named as SignUpCest.php.
Cest Format :
This type of test cases takes the Guy ( either WebGuy/ TestGuy/ TestGuy) class as parameter inside of a test method.
Like :
 1: <?php
 2: use \WebGuy;
 3: class SignUpCest
 4: {
 5: public function _before()
 6: {
 7: //similar to setup/initial of phpunit or Junit
 8: }
 9: public function _after()
 10: {
 11: //similar to teardown/closure of phpunit/junit
 12: }
 13: // tests
 14: public function tryToTest(WebGuy $I) {
 15: $I->wantTo("Test Registration Page");
 16: $I->amOnPage('/');
 17: }
 18: }
So, now lets move on to command. When we need to generate a Cest format Acceptance test case(acceptance is a type of test suit) :
php codecept.phar generate:cest <suitename> <testname>
[if you use composer, then : <path to codecept>/codecept generate:cest <suitename> <testname> ]
For example, if we want to generate an Acceptance test case named as SignUp in cest format , then
php codecept.phar generate:cest acceptance SignUp
image
We can see a file generated SignUpCest.php in the tests/acceptance/ folder and it will follow the configuration of acceptance.suite.yml
So, we can generate cest format test case and we can ready to write codes.
Note : It is more of developer friendly test case format, some time feels complex in reading but it eliminates repetitive test steps.
Thanks…:)
What is Cept format test case in Codeception? How to create Cept Test cases?
In this article we are going to see How can we create Cept test case in codeception?
As we know , codeception has 3 type of tests, we have to define what type of test we are going to build.
So, what is Cept format ?
In codeception, we use BDD type test steps to write test case. What is BDD type? BDD refers to Behavior Driven Development. BDD type test first introduced in Gherkin with Cucumber. But in here, we will write similar test cases so, we are referring that as BDD type test case.
In codeception, when we need to declare BDD type test case, we need to use Cept as post fix of a test which is understand by codeception command. That means, if our test case name is SugnUp, so if we are writing BDD type test case, then it will be named as SignUpCept.php.
Cept Format :
This type of test case start with Guy ( either WebGuy/ TestGuy/ TestGuy).
Like :
$I = new WebGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('travelling through site');
$I->amOnPage('/");
So, now lets move on to command. When we need to generate a Cept format Acceptance test case(acceptance is a type of test suit) :
php codecept.phar generate:cept <suitename> <testname>
[if you use composer, then : <path to codecept>/codecept generate:cept <suitename> <testname> ]
For example, if we want to generate an Acceptance test case named as SignUp in cept format , then
php codecept.phar generate:cept acceptance SignUp
image
Then, a file will be create SignUpCept.php in the tests/acceptance/ folder and it will follow the configuration of acceptance.suite.yml
So, we can generate cept format test case and we can ready to write codes.
Thanks…:)

How to initiate CodeCeption Test Suite?
In this article we are going to see commands on how to start CodeCeption Test by initiating Test Suit. In this part we will see
A. How to install codeception? and
B. How to generate test suite ? in Two ways.
As we know, in codeception test, a Test Suite will contain, Acceptance Test case, Functional Test Case and Unit Test Case. So, when we initiate the suite, a folder structure will be generated where these there type of test will be there. I will make a separate post on what are those folder structure.
I am using PHPstorm as IDE. We must have PHP installed and set in environment path(see this post)
So, We can generate in 2 ways.
1. Using codecept.phar : (If we download this phar and then try to make the suit) : (download link)
a. Keep the downloaded codecept.phar in root of the project
b. Open Command Line and go to the root of the project
c. Write Command : php codecept.phar bootstrap
image
We will see a new folder inside of the project root tests and a configuration settings yml file codeception.yml
So, we have created the test suite for codeception test.
2. Using composer package manager: Install composer and keep composer in path variable(you can use my this post)
a. Go to project Root folder and create a composer.json file(I use empty text file and rename). This is actually composer package definition file. We will add our codeception package here.
b. open that composer.json file with text editor and add following in this file
{
 "require": {
 "codeception/codeception": "*"
 }
}
image
c. Open command prompt and go to Root of the project.
image
d. Write Command (for updating package, this will install codeception) : composer update
We will see a folder named vendor. It contains codeception executable along with all necessary packages(from method 1, our codecept.phar contains all in zipped format)
image
e. From command prompt write and run the command :
For Windows .\vendor\bin\codecept bootstrap
For Linux : ./vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap
image
This will do the the same thing like as previous method. It will create tests folder that contain three type of tests along with codeception.yml.
 So, test suit created. Now we are ready for writing test cases.
Thanks …:)

Reverse engineering of a centrifugal turbine housing
Rossouw, Marius Christiaan
MetadataShow full item record
The Garrett GT 42 turbine housing is a spheroidal ductile cast iron casting, which according to the ASME B31.3 (1996) Code for Pressure Piping, does not satisfy the Pebble Bed Micro Model (PBMM) design requirements. By using Geometrical Reverse Engineering (GRE) methods, a 3-D virtual model, and if required, a mould of the existing design can be created to recast a turbine housing in a suitable material. The aim of this research was to study, evaluate, identify and implement the most promising method(s) to reverse engineer the Garrett GT 42 turbine housing without destroying it in the process. GRE advantages and limitations influenced by practical contact (tactile) and non-contact data acquisition problem areas provided evaluation guidelines that assisted in the allocation of Computed Tomography (CT) as the most promising method to reverse engineer the turbine housing. X-ray and neutron CT were implemented. Neutron Computed Tomography (NCT) using CADKEY® V21 CAD modelling software at the SAFARI-1 nuclear reactor, NECSA, produced the most favourable 3-D NURBs model, which had a geometrical external accuracy of 95% and a volumetric internal accuracy of 94%. It was verified by comparing the results with an 87% geometrical externaland 85% volumetric internal accurate 3-D NURBs model created by the implementation of an alternative contact GRE method, i.e. geometrical inspection and measurements.

LM10 Battery Voltage Threshold Indicator
A battery threshold indicator circuit shown in the schematic diagram below has current regulation mechanism in driving the LED. A sufficient current should be satisfied at the minimum voltage but no excessive current when the voltage is at the highest level. Balance pin (5) is used as the reference voltage for regulating the current. This pin generate 23 mV, which is internally temperature compensated.
When the voltage on the reference-feedback terminal (8) drops below 200 mV, the reference output (1) rises to supply the feedback voltage to the op amp through D2, so the LED current drops to zero. The minimum threshold voltage for these circuits is basically imited by the bias voltage for the LEDs. Typically, this is 1.7V for red, 2V for green and 2.5V for yellow. These two circuits can be made to operate satisfactorily for threshold voltages as low as 2V if a red diode is used. [National Semiconductor Application Note]
This battery voltage threshold indicator circuit overcomes the difficulties caused by voltage change across the diode biasing resistor. [Circuit's schematic diagram source: National Semiconductor Application Note]

Casket with birds and roundels, Sicily. Museum no. 4535-1859
Casket with birds and roundels
Museum no. 4535-1859
Some 200 ivory caskets decorated in the Islamic style were made in Sicily in the 12th and early 13th centuries. They were probably made for the court as marriage gifts or for storing precious objects. This casket shows the usual style of painting found on the Sicilian ivories. The most common motifs were floral scrolls within roundels, and various types of birds - those with the crest at the lower corners of the casket are probably peacocks. The same birds are also woven into contemporary Sicilian textiles. On this casket, the joins between the small panels of ivory are disguised by rudimentary plant motifs.
Casket with Christian figures, Sicily. Museum no. _PHONE_
Casket with Christian figures
Museum no. _PHONE_
The form and most of the decoration of this large casket are entirely characteristic of the ivory caskets made in Sicily, apart from the prominent figures of Christian saints painted at the front. This may indicate that it was commissioned for use in a church, and in fact this casket used to belong to the treasury of Bari Cathedral, on the south-eastern coast of Italy. The casket also has a long poetic inscription in Arabic, invoking blessings and happiness on the owner, in a manner that is very common on secular works of art made in the Islamic world.
Casket with a reused Fatimid base, Sicily. Museum no. _PHONE_
Casket with a reused Fatimid base
Sicily, 1200–50; base probably Cairo about 1150
Museum no. _PHONE_
This casket illustrates the presence of Egyptian works of art in Sicily. Its base was formed from a cut-down panel. It is made from wood incrusted with small, shaped pieces of ivory, set into a dark resin, a technique which relates to a small group of objects made in Fatimid Egypt, probably in the early 12th century. Perhaps the original object from which this panel came was worn out or broken with use but, as an exotic import, was too highly valued to be thrown away, so it was trimmed down and reused.
Ceiling of the Cappella Palatina, Sicily, Palermo. Museum no. 7903-1936
Albumen print of the ceiling of the Cappella Palatina
Ceiling about 1143; print about 1890–1910
Museum no. 7903-1936
This is one of the best surviving examples of an Islamic ceiling in the Mediterranean, though it crowns a Christian religious space – the royal chapel of the palace in Palermo. This building was created for the Norman king of Sicily, Roger II, and was probably completed in time for his coronation in 1143.
The three-dimensional decoration of the ceiling is formed from small cells of carved wood in a technique known in Arabic as muqarnas. The central structure of the ceiling is a pattern of stars and crosses, and every element is covered with paintings in the Islamic style. These include dancers, musicians, seated drinkers and mounted hunters, and every border carries Arabic inscriptions in Kufic script, containing blessings, in the manner of Islamic decorative arts.
A team of carpenters and painters may have been imported from Cairo to produce this most luxurious royal commission. Ironically, few buildings of this period survive in Egypt itself, so now the 'Arabo-Norman' architecture of Sicily provides important information about the lost Fatimid palace architecture on which it was modelled.
Oliphant, Southern Italy. Museum no. 7953-1862
Museum no. 7953-1862
An oliphant is a horn formed from a whole elephant tusk. Oliphants may have been used in hunting, but are so heavy that they may equally have been symbols of status or land ownership. Oliphants are often elaborately carved, since the craftsman had the whole thickness of the ivory at his disposal. Many surviving oliphants show the influence of Islamic decoration. This example is covered with roundels containing animals with disproportionately large bodies, and tails which terminate in a palmette or tiny head. This way of depicting animals was used on Fatimid ceramics and other works of art, which were imported by sea into the coastal cities of Sicily and southern Italy


module Gem::Security
Signing gems
The Gem::Security implements cryptographic signatures for gems. The section below is a step-by-step guide to using signed gems and generating your own.
Walkthrough
Building your certificate
In order to start signing your gems, you'll need to build a private key and a self-signed certificate. Here's how:
# build a private key and certificate for yourself:
$ gem cert --build _EMAIL_
This could take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two, depending on the speed of your computer (public key algorithms aren't exactly the speediest crypto algorithms in the world). When it's finished, you'll see the files "gem-private_key.pem" and "gem-public_cert.pem" in the current directory.
First things first: Move both files to ~/.gem if you don't already have a key and certificate in that directory. Ensure the file permissions make the key unreadable by others (by default the file is saved securely).
Keep your private key hidden; if it's compromised, someone can sign packages as you (note: PKI has ways of mitigating the risk of stolen keys; more on that later).
Signing Gems
In RubyGems 2 and newer there is no extra work to sign a gem. RubyGems will automatically find your key and certificate in your home directory and use them to sign newly packaged gems.
If your certificate is not self-signed (signed by a third party) RubyGems will attempt to load the certificate chain from the trusted certificates. Use gem cert --add signing_cert.pem to add your signers as trusted certificates. See below for further information on certificate chains.
If you build your gem it will automatically be signed. If you peek inside your gem file, you'll see a couple of new files have been added:
$ tar tf your-gem-1.0.gem
metadata.gz
metadata.gz.sum
metadata.gz.sig # metadata signature
data.tar.gz
data.tar.gz.sum
data.tar.gz.sig # data signature
Manually signing gems
If you wish to store your key in a separate secure location you'll need to set your gems up for signing by hand. To do this, set the signing_key and cert_chain in the gemspec before packaging your gem:
s.signing_key = '/secure/path/to/gem-private_key.pem'
s.cert_chain = %w[/secure/path/to/gem-public_cert.pem]
When you package your gem with these options set RubyGems will automatically load your key and certificate from the secure paths.
Signed gems and security policies
Now let's verify the signature. Go ahead and install the gem, but add the following options: -P HighSecurity, like this:
# install the gem with using the security policy "HighSecurity"
$ sudo gem install your.gem -P HighSecurity
The -P option sets your security policy – we'll talk about that in just a minute. Eh, what's this?
$ gem install -P HighSecurity your-gem-1.0.gem
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Security::Exception)
 root cert /CN=you/DC=example is not trusted
The culprit here is the security policy. RubyGems has several different security policies. Let's take a short break and go over the security policies. Here's a list of the available security policies, and a brief description of each one:
The reason RubyGems refused to install your shiny new signed gem was because it was from an untrusted source. Well, your code is infallible (naturally), so you need to add yourself as a trusted source:
# add trusted certificate
gem cert --add ~/.gem/gem-public_cert.pem
You've now added your public certificate as a trusted source. Now you can install packages signed by your private key without any hassle. Let's try the install command above again:
# install the gem with using the HighSecurity policy (and this time
# without any shenanigans)
$ gem install -P HighSecurity your-gem-1.0.gem
Successfully installed your-gem-1.0
1 gem installed
This time RubyGems will accept your signed package and begin installing.
While you're waiting for RubyGems to work it's magic, have a look at some of the other security commands by running gem help cert:
Options:
 -a, --add CERT Add a trusted certificate.
 -l, --list [FILTER] List trusted certificates where the
 subject contains FILTER
 -r, --remove FILTER Remove trusted certificates where the
 subject contains FILTER
 -b, --build EMAIL_ADDR Build private key and self-signed
 certificate for EMAIL_ADDR
 -C, --certificate CERT Signing certificate for --sign
 -K, --private-key KEY Key for --sign or --build
 -s, --sign CERT Signs CERT with the key from -K
 and the certificate from -C
We've already covered the --build option, and the --add, --list, and --remove commands seem fairly straightforward; they allow you to add, list, and remove the certificates in your trusted certificate list. But what's with this --sign option?
Certificate chains
To answer that question, let's take a look at "certificate chains", a concept I mentioned earlier. There are a couple of problems with self-signed certificates: first of all, self-signed certificates don't offer a whole lot of security. Sure, the certificate says Yukihiro Matsumoto, but how do I know it was actually generated and signed by matz himself unless he gave me the certificate in person?
The second problem is scalability. Sure, if there are 50 gem authors, then I have 50 trusted certificates, no problem. What if there are 500 gem authors? 1000? Having to constantly add new trusted certificates is a pain, and it actually makes the trust system less secure by encouraging RubyGems users to blindly trust new certificates.
Here's where certificate chains come in. A certificate chain establishes an arbitrarily long chain of trust between an issuing certificate and a child certificate. So instead of trusting certificates on a per-developer basis, we use the PKI concept of certificate chains to build a logical hierarchy of trust. Here's a hypothetical example of a trust hierarchy based (roughly) on geography:
 --------------------------
 | _EMAIL_ |
 --------------------------
 |
 -----------------------------------
 | |
 ---------------------------- -----------------------------
 | _EMAIL_ | | _EMAIL_ |
 ---------------------------- -----------------------------
 | | | |
--------------- ---------------- ----------- --------------
| drbrain | | zenspider | | pabs@dc | | tomcope@dc |
--------------- ---------------- ----------- --------------
Now, rather than having 4 trusted certificates (one for drbrain, zenspider, pabs@dc, and tomecope@dc), a user could actually get by with one certificate, the "_EMAIL_" certificate.
Here's how it works:
I install "rdoc-3.12.gem", a package signed by "drbrain". I've never heard of "drbrain", but his certificate has a valid signature from the "_EMAIL_" certificate, which in turn has a valid signature from the "_EMAIL_" certificate. Voila! At this point, it's much more reasonable for me to trust a package signed by "drbrain", because I can establish a chain to "_EMAIL_", which I do trust.
Signing certificates
The --sign option allows all this to happen. A developer creates their build certificate with the --build option, then has their certificate signed by taking it with them to their next regional Ruby meetup (in our hypothetical example), and it's signed there by the person holding the regional RubyGems signing certificate, which is signed at

Learning Discriminative Stein Kernel for SPD Matrices and Its Applications
Stein kernel (SK) has recently shown promising performance on classifying images represented by symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices. It evaluates the similarity between two SPD matrices through their eigenvalues. In this paper, we argue that directly using the original eigenvalues may be problematic because: 1) eigenvalue estimation becomes biased when the number of samples is inadequate, which may lead to unreliable kernel evaluation, and 2) more importantly, eigenvalues reflect only the property of an individual SPD matrix. They are not necessarily optimal for computing SK when the goal is to discriminate different classes of SPD matrices. To address the two issues, we propose a discriminative SK (DSK), in which an extra parameter vector is defined to adjust the eigenvalues of input SPD matrices. The optimal parameter values are sought by optimizing a proxy of classification performance. To show the generality of the proposed method, three kernel learning criteria that are commonly used in the literature are employed as a proxy. A comprehensive experimental study is conducted on a variety of image classification tasks to compare the proposed DSK with the original SK and other methods for evaluating the similarity between SPD matrices. The results demonstrate that the DSK can attain greater discrimination and better align with classification tasks by altering the eigenvalues. This makes it produce higher classification performance than the original SK and other commonly used methods.

To overcome the drought phenomenon in Tharparkar, pilot project that will utilize underground saline water extracted from mining operations in Thar Block-II for bio-saline agriculture.
Professor Dr. Ajmal Khan of National Institute of Sustainable Halophyte Utilization (ISHU), University of Karachi announces this during an international synergy seminar on sustainable utilization of saline resources.
Vice Chancellor Karachi University, Prof Muhammad Qaiser and Chief Operating Officer of SECMC, Syed Abul Fazal Rizvi inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on behalf of ISHU and Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC), respectively.
The innovative project in Tharparkar is aimed at reducing dependency on rain water for growing fodder as it will seek to utilize salt resistant grass for non-conventional fodder. After successful completion, SECMC plans to scale up the project which will benefit the people of Tharparkar multifold through the production of fodder crops irrespective of seasonal limitations brought on by recurring drought cycles.
Tharparkar district is ranked as one of the lowest in Sindh on Human Development Indices (HDI) and dependence on traditional but inconsistent means of income generation such as rain-dependent agriculture and livestock rearing – its economic landscape continues to suffer. As is common in the region, there are frequent drought cycles which hinder the few means of livelihood which are solely rain-dependent. When drought hits the region, a domino-effect takes place that affects entire economy causing suffering and misery to the locals.
Dr. Ajmal said that aligned with the Institute's vision, domesticating various halophytes to serve as a source of fodder, forage, bio fuel, oil seeds, medicinal plants and other possible usage by utilizing brackish water in Thar will reduce pressure on fertile lands and sweet water resources.
"Successful implementation of this project will protect Thari community against the negative impacts of drought by providing enough forage throughout the year," he said.
In a statement issued, COO of SECMC, Rizvi said that the pilot project would take one year to complete and will be scaled-up in a phase-wise approach over the next few years.
"Sustainability of the project shall be ensured by on-site training of local farmers and availability of a larger seed bank through which market linkages and avenues for commercialization amongst the local populace can be enhanced," he said.
Rizvi was of the view that this can be a game-changer for the rural community in Tharparkar who are solely dependent on traditional means of income generation with no other prospects in sight. He further said that this endeavour was one of those many efforts which are part of the Company's vision to bring prosperity to the local Thari people.
Professor Bilquees Gul, Head of ISHU, said that a positive collaboration between the academia and the corporate sector was a welcome opportunity because it gave way for innovation and implementation for the sustainable utilization of halophytes.
She said that together with executing the mega coal-mining project in Thar Block-II which is of national importance, this bio-saline agriculture project by SECMC was a vital social and moral obligation of the Company to take care of the communities in the largely under-privileged region of Tharparkar.
SECMC, through its coal-mining project, has taken the responsibility to uplift the communities in its midst by improving the socio-economic conditions and providing them with multiple means of livelihood to ensure the Thari people are not affected by natural calamities such as the recurring droughts.

What can cause an adult bird to die inside a birdhouse or nest box?
April 1, 2009
There are a few reasons why adult birds may die in a nest box.
- If it had obvious injuries, especially on its head, it may have been killed by a House Sparrow or European Starling trying to take over the box. In most cases, though, these competitors toss out birds after they kill them.
- Was the inside front of the box, below the hole, rough or grooved? Sometimes birds get stuck inside boxes because the inside walls are so smooth that they can't climb out. Tacking sandpaper or small strips of wood, making sort of a ladder, will prevent this in the future.
- Sometimes an infestation of blowflies or other parasites can become so intense that it kills not only nestlings but also adults. If there was no sign of dead young with the adult, that's probably not the answer in this case.
- Some wood preservatives may release harmful gases, especially in hot weather. Make sure any paints or varnishes that you use on your nest boxes are rated safe for indoor or playground use.
- It is also possible that migrants may arrive before adequate food is availble for them to survive. For example, Tree Swallows migrate a long way—some of the birds that nest in northern Canada and Alaska winter down in Central America. If they arrive when the temperature is too cold for flying insects, their primary food, they may die of starvation or hypothermia. This is probably what happened to your swallow, especially if swallows or bluebirds have used your nest box successfully in past years.
Nestwatch, a citizen-science project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, has a wealth of information for people who have nest boxes. For features of a good nest box, check out the page, "Features of a Good Birdhouse." You might also like to join Nestwatch and let us know what is happening in your nest boxes.

A 95% effort might require 48 hours of recovery, whereas a PR (100% effort) might require 10 days of recovery," Frances stated. It appears there is a margin of recovery that should not be taken lightly when we differentiate between 95% and 100% of max speed or power.
How long does it take your nervous system to recover?
After a prolonged exercise regimen (regimens are typically 8-12 weeks), take at least 1 week off from anything intense to allow for recovery. Make sure to get adequate sleep between training sessions as this is the best way to let your central nervous system recover fully.
Can the nervous system repair itself?
Because nerve cells of the CNS are unable to regenerate, any resulting loss of motor or sensory function will be permanent.
How do you reset your nervous system?
A deep sigh is your body-brain's natural way to release tension and reset your nervous system. Simply breathe in fully, then breathe out fully, longer on the exhale. Studieshave shown that a deep sigh returns the autonomic nervous system from an over-activated sympathetic state to a more balanced parasympathetic state.

wikiHow to Stay Organized and on Task with the OPA Tool
Community Q&A
The OPA tool is a tool that people may use to stay organized and on task. Read this article for tips on how you can stay organized and on task with the OPA tool.
 1. 1
 Make a list, one item per row, of tasks, chores, errands, to-do's, short term goals, etc. Do not number them, but leave a space to the left of each item (Write each item as it comes to mind, not in any sort of order. Prioritizing comes next.).
 2. 2
 Go through the list and prioritize, 1 being the most important, then 2, and so on. You may want to consider which items you can feasibly knock out the next day and give them top priority, as OPA should be done each night before bed, to relieve you of thinking of everything you need to do the next day(s), week, month, etc.
 3. 3
 Each day, wake up and knock out items in priority order. If something new comes up, or you remember something, add the item to the bottom of the list and the number using decimal, wherever you need to fit it in according to priority. Use 1.1 for an item that needs to go between prioritized items 1 and 2. If you need to add other items between 1 and 2, use 1.2, 1.3, and so on. If an addition comes between 3 and 4, use 3.1, etc.
 4. 4
 When you complete an item on the list, cross out the number. If you don't complete items, or can't get to them for some reason, put a circle around the number. These circled incomplete/unattended items are already numbered in priority (smallest number to largest) and should be added and prioritized accordingly to the next days' OPA list. Re-prioritize as needed.
 5. 5
 Items can be re-prioritized at any point during the day, should something suddenly become less important. Simply cross out the item. Re-add it to the bottom of the list, and use the decimal system to put it where it fits back in priority wise.
 6. 6
 Experiment with OPA. Customize it to meet your needs.

Innovation Accounting Is Independent from Kanban
The third and fifth lean startup principles are about execution and are based on lean thinking and the kanban method. The fourth principle, innovation accounting, is about guidance and is independent from kanban. Innovation accounting can tell the founders when to pivot and when to persevere. It can inform them that something is a vanity metric or point them to an actionable metric. The fourth principle is about how entrepreneurs can use validated learning to guide their companies to new, successful business models. You cannot expect to get all this from kanban.
Kanban Can Help Lean Startup, and Lean Startup Can Help Kanban, Too!
Although we have so far considered ways the kanban method can help lean startup, we need to consider an alternative pattern: Lean startup can help kanban, too! I strongly encourage you to check out the work of Canadian kanban consultant Jeff Anderson. He lays out a process of improving an existing software delivery process—a gradual enterprise change enabled by kanban. Anderson is the "entrepreneur," the improvement process is his "startup," and how the organization responds to change is the validated learning. He applies innovation accounting at each step of his improvement initiative. As Anderson's ability to guide his improvement initiative to its next pivot point and onwards produces validated knowledge of how the process change is working.
Another good example of this pattern can be found in the work of Israeli kanban coach Yuval Yeret (). "Start with a minimally viable change based on the core principles of the kanban method," he writes to describe his approach to coaching organizations in kanban, which parallels the work of many Internet entrepreneurs who release minimally viable products to their users in order to obtain validated learning.
Optimizing build-measure-learn kanban systems is difficult, as many of today's agile and lean implementations seem concerned only with the software delivery process or the "build" part—and even that is proving difficult. The build-measure-learn system is more complex and gives a preview of what the future holds for today's agile practitioners.

Star Trek: Discovery Drops Another Major Clue About the Burn
WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 6, "Scavengers," now streaming on CBS All Access.
When Michael Burnham first arrived in the 32nd century at the start of Star Trek: Discovery's third season, she learned about a mysterious event known only as the Burn. Taking place over a hundred years prior, the Burn saw all dilithium-powered spaceships in the universe simultaneously explode. As a result of this catastrophic event, the Federation mostly fell, and the cosmos became a dystopian place where people fought and scavenged to survive. Now, in the series' latest episode, Michael reveals some crucial new details about the Burn -- and she may finally have the means to solve this massive mystery.Click the button below to start this article in quick view. Start now
During the time she spent without her crew in the 32nd century, Burnham tried to find as much information as she could on the Burn. She searched for clues and any other hints that could help her discover the source of the explosion. To do that, she started collecting the black boxes of destroyed Starfleet spaceships. Although these black boxes are hard to find, she found two in one year.
The data contained on these black boxes has allowed her to make an important theory. Initially, it was believed that all of the spaceships destroyed in the Burn exploded at the exact same time. But in "Scavengers," Burnham tells Saru that there is actually a time discrepancy in-between the recorded explosions of the two black boxes she has found so far. This indicates that it's possible the Burn was a chain reaction, and that there was actually a point of origin.
While Burnham isn't certain this is the case, her friend Booker has secured another black box, which means she now has more data to analyze. If her theory proves correct, then this third black box will allow her to triangulate this point of origin. And if she can find this location, then perhaps a visit there will reveal what exactly caused the Burn. The event originally appeared to be a strange, but natural, occurrence. However, if there was a point of origin, it indicates someone was behind it. Still, who would cause such a terrible catastrophe -- and why?
Streaming on CBS All Access,Star Trek: Discovery stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Commander Michael Burnham, Doug Jones as Commander Saru, Anthony Rapp as Lt. Commander Paul Stamets, Mary Wiseman as Ensign Sylvia Tilly, Wilson Cruz as Dr. Hugh Culber, David Ajala as Cleveland "Book" Booker, Blu del Barrio as Adira, Ian Alexander as Gray, Tig Notaro as Chief Engineer Reno and Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou. New episodes of Season 3 air on Thursdays.About The Author

ADB, Nordic Development Fund Support Climate Change Action in Viet Nam
1 February 2011: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Nordic Development Fund, a joint multilateral development institution of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, have announced a project to help Viet Nam draft and implement climate change action plans for key cities and government departments.
A US$2.5 million technical assistance grant from the Nordic Development Fund, administered by ADB, will help plan and implement climate change response measures, as well as support Viet Nam's National Target Program for building a more climate-resilient economy and producing fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs). Taking into account Viet Nam's vulnerability to climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events, impact assessments to identify the risks to economic sectors and communities from climate change will be carried out. In addition, mitigation and adaptation options will be identified and integrated into comprehensive action plans. The grant will support the design of GHG emission reduction projects and the creation of an emissions database that can be regularly updated.
The Government of Viet Nam will match the funding with a contribution of US$250,000. The project is due to begin in May 2011, and be completed by May 2013. [ADB Press Release]

The Kingston Women's Medical College, affiliated with Queen's, was established in 1883 and ran until 1894. It was founded after disgruntled male students forced women out of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Kingston, an early incarnation of Queen's Faculty of Medicine.
The college was originally located in the west wing of Kingston City Hall and had a dissecting room just under the old building's dome. It moved to a house at 75 Union Street in 1890. The college folded for lack of students in 1894, as the small number of women studying medicine in Canada were increasingly attracted to medical schools in Toronto and Montreal.
Women were not re-admitted to medical studies at Queen's until 1943.

Description
The ROOT framework is used by all LHC experiments in particular for I/O and histogramming. For most of the experiments the memory footprint of their applications represents a major problem forcing them to go from single- to multicore jobs. However, initial benchmark tests have revealed that the main applications of many LHC experiments are able to run with lower memory footprint than what they normally allocate. One typical reason of excessive memory usage is that objects are kept longer in memory than their useful lifetime. In LHC experiment software it has been observed that some large amounts of memory are allocated and used in the initialization phase but not used again or not freed until the end of the process. A new tool (FOM for Find Obsolete Memory) has been developed which helps to spot such unused allocated objects and to detect memory utilization patterns. This talk will explain the tool and show examples for obsolete memory in LHC experiment software with a focus on ROOT objects.

to increase the passenger capacity. These modifications are typically done by expert technicians who ensure that the structural integrity and safety standards of the vehicle are maintained.
However, it's important to keep in mind that modifying a vehicle may require additional paperwork, certifications, and compliance with local regulations. It's always recommended to consult with a professional and abide by the legal requirements when considering modifications to a vehicle, including increasing the seating capacity of a Hummer.
5. Are there any legal restrictions on how many people can be in a Hummer?
While Hummers do have larger seating capacities compared to regular cars, there are legal restrictions on how many people can be safely seated in a vehicle. These restrictions vary by jurisdiction, and it's important to abide by the laws and regulations of your specific location.
It's crucial to prioritize the safety and comfort of everyone inside the vehicle. Overcrowding a Hummer or any vehicle can compromise safety by limiting visibility, increasing the risk of injury in case of an accident, and impeding emergency exits. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local laws regarding seating capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.


How Do You Solve The "No route to host" Error When You Try To Use The wget Command?
Problem scenario
You can ping a web server, but you cannot use the "wget _URL_" command (with no quotes and where _URL_ is the URL or IP address of the web server). You get the error result "No route to host." How do you use wget to retrieve the files on the web server?
Solution
Try one of these four diagnostic methods to isolate the problem:
 1. Verify the firewall is not blocking web requests on the Apache server. Use "ps -ef | grep firewalld" with no quotes to see if it is running. If it is running, and you are in a situation where you can afford to turn it off, turn it off with "service firewalld stop" or "systemctl stop firewalld".
 2. See if there is an intermediate proxy server or firewall between the two servers. Use traceroute or some other network tool.
 3. Use nmap -p 80 x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Apache server).
 4. Use "route -n" on the requesting server (the one you were issuing the wget command from). The results will let you see if there is a default gateway, a subnet mask, and an IP address on your server. If you are not receiving these, the problem should probably be solved by reconfiguring the network interface card correctly.

The Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus) is a bird in the Turdidae family of thrushes.
The Olive Thrush has charcoal-brown to olive-brown feathers with an orange underbelly. Its throat is sometimes speckled with white spots. Its eyes have a distinctive orange eye-ring. Its beak and its legs are orange-red.
It grows to 24 centimetres (9.5 inches) tall.
It is common in African highlands. It prefers forests and woodlands, as well as parks and gardens.
It eats insects, worms, snails, spiders, and fruit.
The female builds a cup nest in a bush or tree, and lays 1-3 eggs, which hatch after 14-15 days. Only the female sits on the eggs. The young chicks gain their flight feathers and leave the nest after about 16 days.

TACAN stands for TACtical Air Navigation, a military system that is similar to VOR but with higher accuracy. It works on frequencies between 960 and 1215 MHz.
Part of the TACAN is DME (Distance Measurement Equipment), which works in the same frequency band. The DME used in TACAN is the same that can be used by civil aircraft. Due to the higher frequency the system is more accurate and the antenna is much smaller and therefor easier to deploy (e.g. on a ship, on a battlefield).
(source: wikimedia, US Air Force, Camera Operator: SENIOR AIRMAN JONNA N. WILSON)
A VORTAC combines the VOR and TACAN in one location. Civil users will use the VOR signals which have the same performance as ordinary VOR signals. In addition they use the DME from the TACAN. Effectively a VORTAC is like a VOR/DME.
Military users only use the TACAN, for them a VORTAC is the same as a TACAN.

After a caesarean, you'll have stitches causing a scar along your bikini line. This scar needs time to heal. You will need to be careful with it for at least 6 weeks or it could tear.
Do not do anything that puts extra pressure on your wound.
- lifting anything heavier than your baby
- pulling yourself up into a sit up position from bed
When you are getting out of bed, roll onto your side before getting up.
Focus on your posture
Focus on retraining your posture. This will help your tummy muscles strengthen to support your scar.
Your tummy muscles are usually still intact after a caesarean delivery. They are moved to the side during surgery to allow your baby out of your uterus (womb).
But during pregnancy and birth they do stretch and get longer. This is why working on your posture is important.
Start pelvic floor exercises and gentle walking when you feel ready. Walking is good for your physical and mental health. Listen to your body and take it easy when you're tired.
Speak to your GP before doing any other exercise. You may have to wait for at least 6 weeks.
You will need to wait 3 to 4 months after your baby is born to do high impact exercise. This includes gym exercises and running or jogging. This is because your scar needs at least 12 weeks to heal properly.
Only start high-impact exercise if:
- your scar is healing and has not been a cause for concern
- you have followed the exercise advice for week 0 to 12 weeks to build a strong foundation
Start back to high-impact exercise at a beginner's level.
If you are jogging, start with a very gentle pace and distance. Gradually increase your distance or pace over a period of time.
Do the same with gym exercises. Ask the gym instructor to check that your technique is good. Do this before pushing your body harder than it might have the strength or endurance for.
Talk to your GP if you have any doubt if you ready to return If in doubt or uncomfortable speak with your GP.

There is a famous story of the Maharam copying a Sefer Torah written by Moshe Rabbeinu. Before passing, he threw it in the river by the castle in which he was arrested.
This Sefer Torah reached Worms, and was held in their shul. The Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe said that he saw it in 1907 (See Hayom Yom for the 7th of Elul). Does anyone know if it survived the Holocaust?
