Agung, Batur and Batukaru: climbing Bali mountains
An animal lover's guide to Bali
So you're not a big fan of the zoo, or seeing animals in cages, or hideous live animal shows, but you love to get up close and personal with creatures great and small? Well, you're in luck; one thing Bali is not short of is an abundance of interesting wildlife.
Get your cute fix and experience Bali's animal kingdom in a selection of open-air sanctuaries and wildlife parks.
Ubud Monkey Forest, Padangtegal, Ubud
Ubud Monkey Forest is perhaps the best-known monkey hang out due to its location on the fringe of Ubud's main centre. Also known as the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal, and by its official name, Mandala Wisata Wenara Wana, Ubud Monkey Forest is not only home to over 300 grey-haired macaques, but also three holy temples that are sanctified by the local villagers.
Ubud Monkey Forest boasts over 115 different species of trees, unraveling stone pathways, a bevy of beautiful statues covered in moss and tangles upon tangles of dense green jungle.
In addition to being a natural tourist attraction, The Ubud Monkey Forest is also a place of scientific research and conservation and is overseen by Padangtegal village.
Other monkey inhabited spaces include the Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest in Tabanan and the Uluwatu Monkey Forest. The Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest is located in the village of Kutuh, about 25km northeast of Denpasar. This small 12-hectare forest is home to hundreds of grey long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and is regarded as the island's 'other monkey forest' after the most prominent and often visited Ubud Monkey Forest.
This is probably due to the fact that Kedaton is located further off the beaten track than the assessable Ubud Monkey Forest. Then there is the Uluwatu Monkey Forest that is perched on stunning white cliffs, has a backdrop of blue sea and features the Uluwatu Temple.
Remember that although wild monkeys are fascinating and cute beyond words, they are still, in fact, wild animals. It's best to enjoy these long-tailed creatures at a comfortable distance in their natural habitat, as actively seeking out their attention can have interesting and often unexpected results i.e. they are lightening quick, have sharp claws and know that most humans carry a few treats on them in the park.
As tempting as the thrill of feeding the monkeys may be, try not to purchase the peanuts and bananas sold at vendor stands; dependence on tourist hand-outs disrupts their natural feeding cycle and tends to impact their health. Yep, living on a diet of peanuts and bananas is just as bad for monkeys as it would be for humans.

Even if it was good for their health, feeding the monkeys doesn't always turn out as planned. You may be eyeing off that cute baby monkey to offer some peanuts to, but chances are the little one isn't going to get anything, and the more rotund and angry monkey will step in for first dibs. You seriously don't want to get in the way of the older generation either.
The macaques are also not shy about grabbing food from your hand, or grabbing your bag to take a peak at what's inside. The saying 'cheeky monkey' didn't come from nowhere. They are the animal kingdom's answer to pick-pockets and are as cunning as they are cute.

Bird Village of Petulu
At around 5:30 every evening, flocks upon flocks of Kokokan birds (herons) fly from all over the Bali island to congregate in the small town of Petulu.
What is fascinating about this occurrence is the sheer number of birds that bunk down for the night in Petulu. The village is relatively small, so there is usually over 100 birds camped out in each tree, testing the strength of their often fragile branches. Talk about high-density, high-rise living. Space here is definitely at a premium.
The villagers believe that the birds are their supernatural guardians, and hold a special ritual once every six months to honour them, expressing their gratitude in having Petula as the place the birds lay eggs and raise their young before the birds migrate in July and August. There is a bit of mystery surrounding why the herons turned up in 1965 and have come back every evening since. It is said that the herons are the reincarnation of thousands of Balinese who were killed during the anticommunist massacre in Indonesia in 1965 and 1966.
After the riots in the village, people held a ceremony in Petulu to remember the slain and to protect the survivors. Shortly after the ceremony the birds arrived in the village, and have made a daily ritual of flying in to spend the night in Petulu ever since. Naturally, the villagers believe these birds, the spirits of their ancestors, also bring them a bounty of good-luck.
Petulu is near the Ubud botanic gardens, Kutuh Kaja, so combining a day trip that includes both will provide you with an ample fix of Bali nature and wildlife.

Bali Bird Park
Welcome to Bali Bird Park, where 1000 birds from 250 species frolic around 2 hectares of landscaped tropical gardens.
Located in the Batubulan stone carving village, the Bali Bird Park is a popular day trip and is close to Kuta, Sanur and Ubud.
The park has a number of walk-through aviaries and is a safe haven for numerous rare or endangered species such as the cendrawasih (birds of paradise) from West Papua and the Leucopsar rothschildi (Bali starling).
The park is divided into different areas that aim to recreate the natural habitats of foreign birds, such as those from Latin America, South Africa and Australia.
There is a nocturnal owl house in a specially-adapted traditional Toraja house, as well as informative shows and scheduled feeding times where you can get up close and personal such as by feeding a pelican or holding a macaw. Some birds are in cages, where as others roam about the grounds or sit high in the trees.
A perfect day trip for bird lovers.

Rimba Reptile Park
Located adjacent to the Bali Bird Park, Rimba Reptile Park is for those who prefer their animals footloose and feather free. The park houses around 20 different species of reptiles and over 181 specimens of reptiles and amphibians.
There's a 1.5 metre Komodo dragon as well as crocodiles, flying lizards, iguanas, frogs and geckos.
The park has an impressively scary collection of venomous snakes including the cobra, tapian and mamba as well as an 8-metre reticulated python and an albino Burmese python. There's a 1.5 metre Komodo dragon as well as crocodiles, flying lizards, iguanas, frogs and geckos. An assortment of cold-blooded creatures sun themselves on the rocks of different enclosures that are filled with lily ponds, waterfalls and Balinese plant life.
There is also a large canopied courtyard to sit back in and spot critters in the overhanging trees above. This park won't be for everyone, particularily if your not a fan of snakes and things that bite.

Bali Safari and Marine Park, East Bali
The Bali Safari and Marine Park is the kind of place you would pester your parents to take you to when you were a kid. Although it's located in Bali, don't expect to find a whole lot of native Balinese inhabitants as it is filled mostly with tourist attracting animals from around the world. Here, you will find over 60 species of animals such as lions, tigers, meerkats, porcupines and the Bali Mynah, a bird that is native to Bali.
There are camel rides as well as a large open air exhibit, restaurants, live shows at the theatre and even a night safari. Basically, this is a great place to take the kids but may not be what you are after if you are looking for a more authentic Bali experience. In saying that, the park provides both education for visitors and conservation efforts, so for that we give it the official thumbs up. It is a member of the CBSG (Conservations Breeding Specialist Group) and is involved in the conservation and release of the Bali Mynah, the Sumatran Elephant and the Sumatran Tiger.

MPD Emergency Response Plan
In emergency situations that affect public safety, law enforcement will be among the first responding agencies. In the District of Columbia, residents, businesses and visitors depend on the MPD to ensure the protection of life and property. The MPD responds to all threats to public safety occurring within the city, while simultaneously providing basic police services in neighborhoods. It is essential that the MPD be prepared to maximize resources and capabilities, to ensure that critical tasks are undertaken efficiently and effectively when a major threat to public safety exists.
The MPD Emergency Response Plan is the standard used to set an appropriate threat Response Level. A response level is required during threat conditions, such as terrorist activity, civil disturbance, natural catastrophe, severe weather or other emergencies that affect the safety and security of the visitors to and residents of the District of Columbia.
The MPD Response Level is designed to provide for the staffing, assignment, and deployment of MPDC members while coordinating activities with DC agencies, neighboring jurisdictions and federal agencies. It is determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee and is based on present and known threats.
There are five color-coded threat designation levels and they are defined as follows:
Response Level RED
A major threat to public safety has occurred
Response Level ORANGE
Information/Intelligence indicating that a major threat to public safety is imminent
Response Level YELLOW
A significant possibility of a major threat to public safety
Response Level BLUE
A general risk to public safety with no credible threats to specific targets
Response Level GREEN
No credible risk of a threat to public safety, routine security is implemented, normal departmental activities continue

A LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey collects precise laser measurement of the earth surface. The resulting data is used to create highly detailed 3D maps and models of the landscape.
The data enables better management of natural hazards, such as flooding, erosion and sea level rise. It provides farm-scale land information to benefit the agriculture and forestry sectors as well as being used for many other planning purposes. It's also widely used for development, engineering, architecture and design applications by the private sector.
In April 2020, Co-Lab entered into an agreement with Ocean Infinity (previously named iXblue Pty Ltd) to complete a LiDAR survey throughout the Waikato region.
The survey was completed in April 2021 and the mammoth task of processing the data then commenced. After intensive quality control, the first set of highly accurate 3D mapping data was released in 2023.
Co-Lab, on behalf of the 10 participating councils, has secured funding of $1.4 million from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) and approximately $133,000 third party funding for the region. Co-Lab is leading the project which is part of a national LiDAR programme coordinated by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
Co-Lab is also grateful for the contributions from the following organisations who co-funded the initiative: WEL Networks, Environmental Research Institute, EQC – Earthquake Commission, Waikato River Clean Up Trust, Lincoln Agritech and Mercury NZ Ltd.
More information about the LINZ national elevation programme, including the PGF LiDAR project is available from the Elevation Aotearoa site.

The extruder nozzle heats up the polymer and outputs it. Does the heat affect the biomaterials?
If the material is ejected at 70 degrees Celsius, such as PCL, in addition to the bio-material for the dispenser, there is no heat damage. However, if dual output is intended with biomaterials foe dispensers, polymers such as PLGA and PLLA with high melting points may have heat-induced effects on cells.

Detective Thomas.Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Detective Thomas was called to a crime scene late at night for investigating a murder of a woman.The area was a gloomy area with no lights.The witness was the neighbor of the woman who said he had seen the murder take place with the help of the light of the full moon.
Even though he could clearly see the full moon, Detective Thomas knew that the witness was lying. How?
AnswerDetective Thomas found it out because the murder took place during a lunar eclipse, and there was total darkness. A lunar eclipse takes place during a full moon day and the maximum time a lunar eclipse can last is 3 hours and 40 minutes.

Washington (AFP) May 9, 2012
US and Italian scientists have traced a bacterium that has been destroying kiwifruit in New Zealand and Europe back to China where they believe it originated, according to a study on Wednesday.
Since the disease known as "kiwifruit canker" emerged in Italy 2008, it has wiped out orchards mainly across Europe and South America and caused hundreds of million of dollars in losses, according to the article in the journal PLoS ONE.
The culprit is a bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), which causes red or white slime to ooze from the plant's stems or branches, in some cases causing the plants to die.
A similar disease afflicted orchards in China and Japan in the 1980s, so scientists used the latest DNA sequencing technology to shed light on the pathogens to see if there were any links.
Virginia Tech associate professor Boris Vinatzer and Giorgio Balestra of the University of Tuscia in Italy sequenced the DNA of Psa bacteria from kiwifruit trees in China, Italy, New Zealand and Portugal.
They found that the bacteria from China, Europe, and New Zealand were almost identical, with one slight variation that in a single region of the DNA that linked the New Zealand outbreak to the Chinese bacteria.
Therefore, the study authors believe the bacterium was likely imported from China to Italy first, and later from China into New Zealand where the disease turned up in 2010.
"The first step in stopping the spread of aggressive bacteria like Psa is knowing where they come from and how they have spread," Balestra said.
"Now that we have sequenced the DNA and found its likely origin, we can start to figure out ways to stop it and similar bacteria from doing so much damage in the future."

Record fine for illegally importing protected birds
By Steve Chetcuti
A record fine was yesterday handed down to a Kirkop man found Guilty of importing 51 animal skins
three years ago.
Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona fined Jesmond Grixti, 32, Lm 1,036 after he was found in possession
of the bird skins at Malta International Airport on 9 February 1998.
Grixti had just returned from a hunting trip
with five other men in Egypt. The bird skins all came from protected species and included a barbary falcon, an endangered
He was accused of breaching regulations which fall under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Flora and Fauna (Cites).
The accused had tried to import the bird skins stuffed in a massive teddy bear
but customs officials became suspicious and passed the soft toy through the x-ray machine.
The officials noticed
that the stuffing in the toy was not uniform and further checks revealed the dead birds, which had been wrapped in carbon
paper to try and avoid x-ray detection.
The dead birds included herons, egrets, white storks, birds of pray, owls,
kingfishers and bee eaters. The customs officials also carried out a search in Grixti's bag and found a mongoose, an endangered
Investigations were headed by police inspectors Walter Spiteri and Alex Miruzzi, customs officers and officials
from the Environment Protection Department.
Grixti was one of 24 people who were yesterday found Guilty of breaching
hunting and trapping regulations. The other 23 were fined Lm 1,160 between them.

Definition of bodkin in English:
- Thus the body of the witch might be subjected to penetration by bodkins or needles as the insensible spot was sought.
- Isaac Newton risked his vision by poking a bodkin beneath his eyeball to understand how we see.
- There is a nail knot/tying tool, clipper/nipper, a bodkin - which as we all know is a needle.
The origin is perhaps Celtic linked with Irish bod, Welsh bidog, and Scottish Gaelic biodag 'dagger'. This was the first sense recorded in English and is used by Shakespeare in Hamlet: 'When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin'. Another early use was for a sharp instrument for piercing cloth; now, in needlework, a bodkin is, on the contrary, blunt with a large eye for threading tape and other thick threads through material.

Estimation of saigas' population (Betpakdala, Ural, Ust-Yurt populations) by means of aviation started in Kazakhstan on April 4 reports bnews.kz. The action is conducted by Okhotzooprom, the subdivision of the Committee on Forestry and Hunting under the RoK Ministry of Environmental Protection, reads the report of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP).
"Estimation of saiga population by means of aviation will be conducted in accordance with the corresponding methodical instructions prepared by the Institute of Zoology. During the campaign we will continue our activities on increased accuracy of estimation with the use of electronic technical means of estimation and analysis", reads the report.
For this purposes the experts will use aviation and mobile GPS navigators, survey technologies for mapping, processing and analysis of data. Data processing will be provided by the staff of the Institute of Zoology and the Fauna Scientific Research Institute.
The public "Association for Preservation of Biological Diversity of Kazakhstan" will also participate in the activities.
As it was informed by MEP, the 2012 results of estimation showed that the population of saiga in total made 137 500 heads. The increase of saiga polulation was over 34% compared to 2011 figures.
Saigas, habituating in Kazakhstan, makes about 90% of the world population of these animals


In class tomorrow I would like to have a discussion on a lack of diversity in the profession of architecture and reflect on challenges to achieving this.
As a point of reference, we can refer to this AIA 2016 study: _URL_
This paragraph is taken from the summary:
"Industry data show that, while improving, women and people of color are underrepresented in the field of architecture. In 2015, industry membership organizations worked together to create a study examining what architects believe is causing this underrepresentation, how significant they feel it is, and offering suggestions of what could be done to address it. The result was the study, Diversity in the Profession of Architecture." p. 3.
We will talk about this tomorrow and post a reflection during class. You are welcome to post a reflection in advance if you like.
See you tomorrow.

4 April 2014
OECD Conference Centre, Paris
Part of the OECD's work on state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and inclusive growth, this workshop focused on learning lessons from the experience of developing countries aiming to emulate apparent success stories with using SOEs as part of the development process.
Discussions addressed the following questions:
- Over the past decades, what role has been assigned to state interventionism in selected countries in the context of development strategies and industrial policy?
- How has this role been implemented through corporate action, e.g. SOEs, publicly-owned development banks or special-purpose vehicles?
- What are the main conclusions regarding the feasibility of approaches?
Background papers presented by their authors shed light on experiences with using SOEs as agents of development in Asia; South Africa; Latin America; and, the Middle East and North Africa.
Representatives from governments, the private sector, trade unions, civil society and academia attended the workshop.

A decision support system for procurement risk management in the presence of spot market.
Lee, C. K. M.
Date of Issue2012
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
In the presence of spot market, this paper presents a decision support system to model risks for procurement processes and to design a robust purchasing plan, including supplier selection and order allocation. Taking advantages of contract supplier and spot market, the buyer can better meet business requirements in this dynamic business environment. However, there are limitations of existing methods for modeling multiple correlated risks to support decision makers for allocating orders among multiple suppliers in the presence of spot market. Therefore, Monte Carlo simulation algorithm termed as Expected Profit–Supply at Risk (A-EPSaR) is proposed to quantify each supplier's risk so as to let decision maker realize the trade-off between profit and risk. The goal programming model helps to allocate orders among the supplier pool and the contract-spot allocation model can assign orders between the spot market and the supplier pool, respectively. The significance of this paper is to propose a novel decision support framework which helps the buyer to make optimal and robust procurement decision including supplier selection and order allocation among multiple supplier sources in the existence of correlated demand, yield and spot price uncertainties. A case study is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed framework and the proposed methods show the promising result.

Dunlap Reservoir - 2009 Survey Report
For assistance with accessibility on any TPWD documents, please contact _EMAIL_
Prepared by John Findeisen and Greg Binion
Inland Fisheries Division
District 1-E, Mathis, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 25-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
During the 2006-2010 survey period, fish populations in Lake Dunlap were surveyed in fall 2005, 2007, and 2009 using electrofishing and trap nets and spring 2006 and 2010 using gill nets. This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Lake Dunlap is a 410-acre impoundment located on the Guadalupe River in Guadalupe County and is regulated by the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA). The reservoir, impounded in 1928, is used for water supply, hydroelectric generation, and recreation. Lake Dunlap is classified as a mainstream reservoir and has a fairly constant water level. Substrate in the upper section is composed primarily of rock and gravel, while the middle and lower sections of the reservoir are composed of clay, sand, and silt. Habitat features include boat docks, rocks, and native floating and emergent vegetation.
Important sport fish include channel catfish, largemouth bass, and crappie species. The management plan from the 2006 survey report focused on fish habitat improvement, largemouth bass genetics, nuisance aquatic vegetation, and implementing a creel survey. The proposed habitat improvement plan was to construct brushpiles under boat docks and piers of cooperating lake-front property owners, however, the plan was not implemented due to concerns of the brushpiles breaking loose and damaging structures downstream and a decline in interest. Largemouth bass were not stocked. Nuisance aquatic vegetation presence/absence was noted on all fisheries and habitat surveys. The proposed creel survey was to be completed by a university; however, funding for this survey was not available.
- Prey species: Electrofishing catch rates of shad and sunfish species increased substantially since the 2006 report. Prey species populations were comprised primarily of small size classes; benefitting most predatory fish species. Redear and redbreast sunfish provided anglers with excellent angling opportunities.
- Catfishes: Blue, channel, and flathead catfish were present in the reservoir, with blue catfish being the predominant species. The relative abundance of flathead catfish appears to be increasing. Proportion of harvestable-sized catfish in the populations was good as the majority of fish sampled were greater than legal length limits.
- Black basses: Smallmouth, spotted, largemouth, and Guadalupe bass were present in the reservoir, with largemouth being the predominant species. Largemouth bass relative abundance increased substantially and they exhibited good body condition and growth to legal size. Several largemouth bass over 20" were collected during the electrofishing survey.
- Crappie: White and black crappie were present in the reservoir, with white crappie being the predominant species. Trap net catches of crappie were again low but, 33 adult crappie were collected in the spring 2010 gill net survey.
Continue to manage the fisheries under current regulations, refine crappie sampling, continue to monitor the reservoir for nuisance aquatic vegetation, and publicize the sunfish, catfish, and largemouth bass fisheries through media sources local to the reservoir and through the district Facebook page.

 1. Babesia bovis
 Babesia bovis is a single-celled protozoan parasite of cattle which occasionally infects humans. It is a member of the phylum Apicomplexa, which also includes the malaria parasite. The disease it and other members of the genus Babesia cause is a hemolytic anemia known as babesiosis and colloquially called Texas cattle fever, redwater or piroplasmosis. It is transmitted by bites from infected larval ticks of the order Ixodida. It was eradicated from the United States by 1943, but is still present in Mexico and much of the world's tropics. The chief vector of Babesia species is the southern cattle fever tick Rhipicephalus microplus. In 2007, the sequence of its genome was announced. Measuring 8.2 million base pairs, its genome is remarkably similar to the genome of Theileria parva, the cause of East Coast fever in cattle.

A Century of Hands: Work, Communities, and Identities among the Ayt Khebbach Fossil Artisans in a Moroccan Oasis
Majuka Tanabe defended her thesis on 17 June 2015
- M. (Majuka) Tanabe
- 17 June 2015
- Leiden University Repository
This study analyses the everyday practices and the multiplicious identification processes in Amazigh mineral and fossil artisan communities, focusing on the Ayt Khebbash group in Rissani and Tafraoute of southeastern Morocco. I address the following questions: how do the Ayt Khebbash artisans identify themselves and others through everyday work and participation in different communities? What is their relation to the space that surrounds them? How do they deal with the discourse power of the state and the penetrating influences of capitalism? I argue that in the context of the Tafilalet, the collective Amazigh ethnic identity promoted by the activists holds little importance compared to a tribal sense of belonging based on agnatic ties. Also, the local Ayt Khebbash artisans see themselves contextually through social interactions in everyday work and in relation to external power structures. This dissertation consists of an introduction, four main chapters, and a conclusion. The division of the main content of this study into four chapters is in accordance with the geography of the region: Tafilalet (Ar-Rachidia Province), the village Tafraoute, the town Rissani, and reḥla ('open space'). I examine the development of fossil ex¬traction and sculpting work in Tafraoute and Rissani in the context of environmental factors and the local history of French colonial rule, so as to situate the practice of Ayt Khebbash men in the historical process of herding, agriculture and mining work. Then I analyse the apprenticeship of fossil artisans as a process of participation in social practice, by using the notion of 'legitimate peripheral participation' within the 'communities of practice' developed by Lave and Wenger (Lave and Wenger 1991; Wenger 1998). This is to demonstrate that work is a social practice wherein acting agents acquire new knowledge, techniques, and lifestyles, in the multiple processes of confrontations and contradictions. Furthermore, through an analysis of the Ayt Kheb¬bash artisans' work experiences in Nador and barite mining, I argue that their identifi¬cation processes also involve 'marginality', 'dis-identification', and 'non-participation' (Hodges 1998). Contrary to Lave and Wenger's model (1991; 1998), 'participation' was an experience in constant conflict with their historically situated self within the new socio-economic frameworks, which in the case of the Ayt Khebbash artisans induced sympathy for their own tribal identities, rather than assimilation to the structural conditions of the capitalist labour market. I conclude that the Ayt Khebbash artisans counteract the effect of globalisation in their own terms with their own initiatives, by constantly imagining, reinventing and reconstructing their spatial and tribal senses of belonging.

The Evolution of Forklift Design and Its Impact on Construction Sites
In a world where we chase efficiency and safety, the evolution of forklift design speaks volumes about the industry's commitment to progress. Over time, forklifts have evolved with technological advancements and innovative engineering, completely overhauling construction-site function.
Let's dive into the journey of forklift design and examine just how much they've impacted construction sites.
A Starting Base: Where it All Began
Inception of Forklifts
Forklifts came to life around the early 20th century. They were created as a way to solve manual material handling problems in warehouses. Although these machines don't even compare to the sleek ones we have now, they set the groundwork for future designs.
Back in those days, manual labour was normal. The creation of forklifts brought much-needed relief to workers who had to pick up heavy materials by hand. Their simple designs let them be operated by hand and cut out features that we now deem essential in contemporary forklifts. Still, this simple invention marked the birth of something great.
Basic Mechanical Features
Early forklifts had no fancy mechanical features that are standard today. Instead, they had manual controls with limited lifting capacity. Although these limitations make them inferior to what we have now, their introduction significantly lessened manual labour requirements across multiple industries.
The first forklift models were efficient due to their straightforward mechanics and control systems that required human input. Nonetheless, when put up against today's models their lifting capacities are laughable at best. However, even just cutting out some labour already made them indispensable tools in various industries like warehouses and manufacturing plants. Operating these simple machines may have been a small step, but it was one necessary step towards what would change construction sites forever.
Transition to Combustion Engines
Before the middle of the 20th century, forklifts were manually operated machines. However, that would soon change as they embraced combustion engines. This upgrade brought increased power and efficiency, making them more versatile in construction.
Around the mid-20th century, forklifts made their next leap toward becoming the powerful machines they are today. Forgoing manual operation in favour of combustion engines was a no-brainer as it revolutionised how they worked. With this new feature, they gained powers previously unattainable. Forklifts could now carry heavier loads and easily navigate complicated construction sites.
Challenges and Adaptations
Things weren't all sunshine and rainbows when forklifts transitioned to combustion engines though. The new power plants brought challenges relating to emissions and noise levels, which engineers quickly responded to. Things like mufflers and emission control systems quelled some concerns about environmental impact and made them better suited for construction sites.
With great power, comes great noise and emissions. The introduction of combustion engines to forklifts meant that they'd have to tackle the challenges of noise and emissions. Environmental responsibility was a new priority in the industry, so they quickly came up with ways to address these problems.
They created mufflers and emission control systems that helped reduce the negative impacts of forklifts on the ecosystem. Not only did this help the environment, but it made them better for construction sites too. Both noise and emission come in direct conflict with worker productivity on these sites. This period where there were challenges mixed with adaptations is what set up a sustainable future for forklift design.
The Technology Leap: Electric Forklifts
Introduction of Electric Forklifts
Electric forklifts gave construction a cleaner option when they were introduced in the late 20th century. It was also a more sustainable one, which made it ideal given how many practices were shifting towards an eco-friendly approach.
Enhanced Manoeuvrability
With electric forklifts came enhanced manoeuvrability which became a huge selling point to project managers who needed them on construction sites with little space to work with. On top of this benefit, electric forklifts were also loved because they emitted less noise.
Integration of Advanced Controls
Through technological advancements, models started coming out with advanced controls that allowed for smooth and efficient operation by those using them.
Battery Technology Advancements
Enhancements in battery technology extended how long electric forklifts could be used before recharging. This flexibility was key because, before this improvement, users would have to worry about recharging their equipment constantly.
Taking Challenges Head-On: Specialised Forklift Designs
Rough Terrain Forklifts
It's no secret that different projects take place on different types of land, making it hard when you're limited to one type of forklift. Recognising this, manufacturers designed a rough terrain forklift that can handle pretty much any type of surface. This is thanks to its all-terrain capabilities and increased lifting capacities.
Telescopic Handlers
Telescopic handlers, also known as telehandlers, are the hallmark of where forklift design was headed. The extendable booms have to allow them to lift materials high into the air with no trouble at all.
Automated Forklifts
Forklifts are just one of many things automated during this time in human history. This technology has helped eliminate most human errors such as hurting someone or breaking something.
Adapting to Specialised Industries
Every industry within construction faces unique challenges which was why specialised forklift designs began being produced. These designs were made to cater to specific industries within the field.
The Future Unveiled: Sustainability and Smart Technologies
Green Initiatives
Forklifts will probably come out with safety features like collision avoidance systems, automatic braking, and 360-degree cameras. With them, the risk of accidents will be reduced and job site safety will be better than ever.
IoT and Connectivity
The future of forklift design lies in the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity solutions. Smart forklifts equipped with sensors and data analytics capabilities will enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Human-Machine Collaboration
The evolution of forklifts is not about replacing human involvement but enhancing collaboration. Future forklifts will focus on ergonomic designs and intuitive interfaces, fostering a seamless partnership between operators and machines for optimised productivity.
Conclusion
The forklifts of tomorrow are being built as we speak. With each passing day, construction sites are becoming more advanced. Helping them get there is this new line of forklifts that's built to be smarter than ever before. After all, they've had to evolve since their main purpose is helping workers meet construction deadlines.
It was clear from the start that a regular old basic material handler wasn't going to cut it if people wanted their buildings finished faster. From there, engineers really made use of technology and have turned forklifts into what they are today: highly specialised pieces of machinery.

Mini Planet
Fimo kids clay is soft and easy to use for younger children and a Classpack provides a selection of different colours for modelling these mini alien creatures. The lotus head provides an interesting organic shape for the planet.
Skill Level
Time to Make
30 minutes for making + drying time for the glue. Allow another 30 minutes for Fimo to bake plus time for it cool down.
Adult Supervision Needed
How to Make
 1. For the planet base, cut a paper cup in half then paint it black. Leave to dry. Lightly sponge some silver paint over the top of the black. Fill the bottom of the cup with dried beans or rice to make the base heavier and more stable.
 2. Sponge silver paint over a lotus head. Leave it to dry. Brush plenty glue around the top of the cup and glue the lotus on top. Leave to dry.
 3. To make the aliens, break off some small pieces of FImo clay and roll into balls for the bodies, elongate the balls into long oval shapes, tapering at one end. Check they are the right size to fit into the holes in the lotus head. Add small rolled Fimo pieces for the arms and tentacles.
 4. Roll eyes and mouths using different Fimo colours. A cocktail stick is useful to help position small pieces on the bodies. Try using a piece of plastic straw to make a circle pattern on the bodies.
 5. Place the finished models onto a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes at 110oC. Follow instructions on the packaging. Allow Fimo to cool before handling.
 6. Place the baked aliens into the planet craters!
Top Tip
Use wet wipes to keep your fingers clean so the dark Fimo colours dont transfer onto the lighter ones.

Guidelines to improve the landscape through community work in neighbourhoods situated on slopes in Quito, Ecuador
by Mayte Alejandra CUESTA TABARES and Bathoryne Nagy ILDIKO REKA, Doctoral School of Landscape Architecture and Landscape Ecology, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences
General subject area | Landscape and community
Abstract | Due to the Ecuadorian social-cultural background, community work has been always existing under the Kichwa language name of "Minga" which consists of collective work for the betterment of physical space. Ecuadorian people have an immense load of indigenous cultures and features, one of them is guard the nature and water as the first provider in the settlement. Unfortunately, this attribute is being lost due to the growth of the city. On one hand, Quito, the capital of Ecuador counts with 182 streams, all polluted by wastewater, sewage, and garbage. And on the other, the high cost of living in the hyper center has led the population to abuse hillside, ravine land and build settlements that do not meet basic living requirements. Most of these neighborhoods have a high probability of disaster due to earthquakes, alluvion, rains, etc and they are strongly contributing to the degradation of the natural landscape around the ravines. Therefore, the settlements have polluted the streams and rivers widening the already existing infrastructure gap in the city. The aim is to describe the main characteristics of Minga, study cases of neighborhoods that have helped to recover landscape through community work in damaged areas, specifically in slopes or ravines near to rivers in urban areas, and approach intervention guidelines to develop the landscape situated in slopes in the city of Quito.

Quick Answer: Why Is Overmixing Bad?
How can I stop overmixing?
Blend in the eggs until well incorporated, as with the cookie dough, then add the flour and liquid, typically in alternating additions.
Once both liquid and flour have been added to the mixing bowl, that's when you need to worry about over-mixing.
Beat until the flour streaks disappear, but no more..
How long should I beat cake batter?
Anywhere between 2 and 6 minutes should suffice. The time necessary for mixing will vary with recipe but this should help give you with a ball park idea of mixing time. I hope this information helps as you go forward experimenting with mix times in all of your batter-blending adventures. Happy baking!
What makes a cake light and fluffy?
What is Creaming? Creaming is the magical step that creates a light and airy homemade cake. It describes the process of incorporating air into your batter, which (in conjunction with baking soda or baking powder) helps the cake leaven and rise.
Why did my butter and eggs curdle?
There are three main reasons why a creamed mixture will curdle when the eggs are added: The eggs are added too quickly. … Too many eggs are added. The amount of water (from the eggs) being added to the butter is too much for the quantity of butter being used to retain the emulsion.
What is caused by overmixing?
"Overmixing" is a term that's generally applied to batters versus doughs. It means that the mixture has been agitated to the point that the gluten in the flour has been developed. … For virtually all types of baked goods, know an overmixed product by its tough texture, the result of stretchy, developed gluten.
Unless you want extra-crispy cookies, avoid overmixing your dough. "Overmixing your dough will result in flatter, crispier cookies," Cowan said. If you overmix, you will end up aerating the dough (adding air) which causes the cookies to rise and then fall, leaving you with flat cookies.
Which ingredient makes cake soft?
3 of 12 1. Butter cakes, like pound cakes and most layer cakes, get their soft, fine texture and moistness—called a crumb—by first creaming together fat and sugar, adding eggs, and slowly incorporating dry ingredients into the mixture while alternating with a liquid, such as milk or buttermilk.
Is it okay to let cake batter sit?
Unfortunately leaving a cake batter to stand for any length of time can have a detrimental effect on the finished cake. … The cake will then not rise as well and could be heavy or dense in texture. The oven should be fully preheated while the cake batter is being mixed and the batter should be cooked in matching pans.
Why is my Victoria Sponge not rising?
Too flat/didn't rise If your cake failed to rise, check you put the raising agents in it. Also, check your raising agents are in date as out-of-date ones won't have the same oomph. It could also be a symptom of it not being cooked enough, in which case, pop it back in the oven for a few more minutes.
Cookie dough can be mixed by hand or with an electric mixer. … Butter or margarine that is too soft or melted will change the texture of the cookie and should not be used. Over-softened butter or margarine is the number one reason why cookies spread or become too flat.
How do you beat sugar and eggs to be fluffy?
Beat the eggs in a large bowl on medium speed just to combine the yolks and whites. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for about 4 minutes until the mixture is fluffy, thick and lightened in color.
How long do you beat eggs and sugar?
Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for about 7-8 minutes or until mixture has thickened and turned a very pale yellow. Mixture will fall in ribbons from a spoon.
What is the difference between a batter and a dough?
With these two definitions, we can clearly see that the difference between batter and dough is that batter is thin while dough is quite thick. This plays into the techniques used to mix each type of baking mixture.
What happens when you overmix batter?
Dough can get aerated, which means too much air can be incorporated into mixtures. Mixing goods for an extended period of time can also result in extra gluten development; which means that overmixing will give you cakes, cookies, muffins, pancakes, and breads which are gummy or unpleasantly chewy.
What are the six steps in the creaming method?
What Are The Steps Of The Creaming Method?Step One: Start With Softened Butter. Softened butter is the key to have a properly creamed dough. … Step Two: Combine The Butter And Sugars. … Step Three: Scrape Down The Bowl. … Step Four: Add The Eggs. … Step Five: Add Your Dry Ingredients.Jan 23, 2020
Can I bake curdled batter?
The good news is, while curdled batter is certainly a cake-baking problem, it can still be baked and produce a cake. But the crumb or texture of that cake will be uneven because the fat isn't dispersed evenly throughout the batter.
What does overmixing mean?
transitive + intransitive. : to mix too much overmixed the batter The key is to not use so much filler and to not overseason or overmix.—
Why should you avoid overmixing the batter?
You may have read that when you overmix cake batter, the gluten in the flour can form elastic gluten strands – resulting in a more dense, chewy texture. This can be beneficial in cookies, but it's not so great in cakes and it's an archenemy of flaky pie crusts.
What does Do not overmix mean?
When you're reading through recipe instructions, particularly for baked goods, you probably come across the phrase "do not overmix" fairly often. … So when a recipe instructs you not to overmix, what it means is that you should just do the minimum amount of mixing necessary to make a uniform dough.
How do you fix Overmixed batter?
One way to fix broken cake batter is to add a bit of flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it smooths out again. The flour helps the liquid and fat come back together and creates a smooth, lump-free mixture.
Can you over mix butter and sugar?

To one's (or your) heart's content means to one's complete inner satisfaction - until one's heart is content.
This phrase is first put into print in Shakespeare's plays and there's every reason to believe that he coined it. He used it in at least two plays:

The Merchant of Venice, 1596 - I wish your Ladiship all hearts content.
It is also found in a letter Shakespeare sent to the Earl of Southampton, as the dedication of the poem Venus and Adonis:
Right Honourable, - I know not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolished lines to your Lordship, nor how the world will censure me for choosing so strong a prop to support so weak a burthen: only, if your Honour seem but pleased, I account myself highly praised, and vow to take advantage of all idle hours, till I have honoured you with some graver labour. But, if the first heir of my invention prove deformed, I shall be sorry it had so noble a godfather, and never after ear so barren a land, for fear it yield me still so bad a harvest. I leave it to your honourable survey, and your Honour to your heart's content; which I wish may always answer your own wish, and the world's hopeful expectation,

Environmental Conditions Can Influence Development of Dermo Disease in Oysters
A recent NCCOS-sponsored study by the Smithsonian Institution showed that long-term exposure to daily fluctuations of hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) increased Dermo disease (Perkinsus marinus) infection in previously uninfected eastern oysters. Surprisingly, daily-cycling pH (a measure of acidity) did not affect Dermo disease infection levels in conjunction with daily-cycling hypoxia or with continuous normal oxygen levels when compared to non-daily-cycling pH treatments. As it turns out, daily-cycling pH may actually improve the immune response of oysters. Counts of oyster immune system cells indicate that daily-cycling pH stimulates the oyster immune system. By contrast, daily-cycling hypoxia conditions suppressed immune function, supporting findings of higher disease infection under severe daily-cycling hypoxia.
These results suggest that coastal resource managers should consider daily-cycling environmental conditions in habitat restoration due to the possible population-level effects on organisms, including increasing disease. Climate change and estuarine eutrophication (nutrient loading that fuels overgrowth of algae) could potentially create such daily-cycling conditions that, if severe enough, could lead to an increased incidence of disease in estuarine organisms.

Use Tableau Server command line utilities to add Metric Insights IP address (or fully qualified domain name for Tableau server 8.1 and beyond) to the list of trusted sites.
Using Metric Insights IP address:
D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat set wgserver.trusted_hosts "10.146.246.13, 10.192.61.233" D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat config D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat restart
Using Metric Insights fully qualified domain name:
D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat set wgserver.trusted_hosts "mi-dev.mycompany.com, mi-prod.mycompany.com" D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat config D:\Tableau\Tableau Server\10.1\bin>.\tabadmin.bat restart
1.3. Verify trusted authentication from Metric Insights for the user
From Metric Insights server run a command line utility to confirm trusted authentication to Tableau server. Use a username that exists on Tableau server. For example, 'admin'
curl -k -dusername=admin _URL_ curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ curl -ssl -k -dusername=admin _URL_
In the curl request, supply the username (e.g., 'admin') and the url of Tableau server (e.g., _URL_ Any of the above curl request arguments should work.
The above curl request returns -1 from Tableau server if not trusted, and returns non-negative ticket value if trusted. For example,
root@sandbox:~# curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ -1
root@sandbox:~# curl -3 -k -dusername=admin _URL_ Co_GwPDEfUzAuj1mDO2MH-FE
1.4. Enable Variable ALLOW_TRUSTED_SERVER_USERNAME_OVERRIDE

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct -
Determine whether widget value was changed by user or by software?
 - Control widgets like QSpinBox, QCheckBox etc emit signals like valueChanged, stateChanged etc. These signals are caused either by direct user action upon the widget, or by external calls of setValue, setChecked etc.
 I'd like to treat these two cases differently. Is there a straightforward way to find out where the signal comes from?
 Or is there a way to implement alternative forms of setValue, setChecked etc that do not emit valueChanged, stateChanged etc?
 - That's interesting,
 The first approach that comes to my mind is to determine if the mouse is in the widget you're using:
 I'm neither sure if QTest functions such as QTest::mouseClick move the mouse to the widget nor your specific implementation.
 - _USER_-W
 I assume the answer is that you cannot do these things.
 - Lifetime Qt Champion
 Can I ask why you need this?
 We sometimes block signals to avoid GUI triggering user function during
 loading data etc.
 Is that what you need it fo r?
 - why I need this? - for logging user actions, and not the system's response to them.
 - Moderators
 IIRC all such Widgets have a valueChanged signal that is emited when ever the value changed(either software or user) and an editingFinished() that only emits when an user interacted with the classpressing enter or switching focus.
 Besides that the other option is subclassing for example QSpinBox,
 add 2 new signals e.g valueChangeSystem and valueChangedUser
 a function that is connected to the valueChanged signal
 MySpinbox::customChanged(int value){
 emit valueChangedUser(value);
 emit valueChangeSystem(value);
 - Lifetime Qt Champion
 Hi _USER_-W,
 there are indeed some widgets that handle both cases differently - for example QLineEdit which has textEdited() and textChanged().
 Unfortunately QSpinBox only has valueChanged() so you can't distinguish it here.
 I think you could subclass QSpinBox and change it so setValue() returns another signal to distinguish between user and program changes.
 You would have to do this for all your widgets, however.
 - Thank you for your excellent suggestions. For the time being, 'hasFocus' solves my problem.

Yuck! Why Does My Front Load Washer Smell Like Rotten Eggs?
That rotten egg odor is unmistakable when we smell it; it's a scent we recognize no matter where we are. However, it can be a surprise when you have a front load washer smell like rotten eggs. This can be caused by mold and low washing temperatures.
Front Load Washer Smell Like Rotten Eggs? Here's How to Clear the Air.
Is it your clothes? The water? When you have a front load washer smell like rotten eggs it typically stems from bacteria. When comparing a front load vs. top load washer, front-loaders are more prone to moldy build up because the rubber gasket around the door is a favorite bacterial haven.
When your washer smells like eggs we'll show you how to banish the smell with proper cleaning!
Why Your Front Load Washer Smells Like Rotten Eggs
Bacteria grow best in warm, moist environments, making front-loading washers prime bacterial real estate. When bacteria metabolize they create hydrogen sulfide gas, which is the source of the rotten egg smell in a front-loading washer. Here's why a washer can be a bacterial breeding ground:
- Drain/venting problem: the drain from your washing machine may have a venting problem that should be assessed by a professional.
- Low washing temperatures: Habitually washing clothes at a low temperature creates the perfect warm environment for bacterial growth.
- Wrong detergent: using a non-HE detergent in a front-loading machine creates a soap sud buildup that hosts bacteria.
- Keeping the door on your washer closed: leaving the washer door closed preserves the warm, moist environment bacteria need to multiply.
How to Get Rid of Rotten Egg Odor in Front Load Washer
When your washing machine smells bad a proper cleaning and regular monthly cleanings should remove the odor once and for all. We suggest these cleaning tips when you have a front load washer smell like rotten eggs:
- Clean the door gasket of the washer with a cloth dipped in a 1:1 solution of water and vinegar or a 1:10 solution of bleach and water.
- Fill the bleach dispenser of your washer with bleach and run an empty cleaning cycle.
- Bleach alternative: Pour a washing machine cleaner or a ½ cup of baking soda mixed with 2 cups of distilled white vinegar in the tub of the washer and run an empty cleaning cycle.
- Leave the door open overnight and continue to leave the door open when the machine is not in use.
A front load washer smell like rotten eggs can be a thing of the past now that you know the causes and how to prevent them. And if you have a present need for a new washing machine, call Northeast Appliance for the best prices and service!

Three recently decided cases discuss the retroactive application of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 to pre-1952 claims—Carl Marks & Co. v. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Jackson v. People's Republic of China, and Slade v. United States of Mexico. These cases have conclusively established that the FSIA is not to be applied retroactively to pre-1952 events—i.e., to claims arising prior to the issuance of the Tate Letter. They do not resolve the issue of retroactive application of the FSIA to post-1952 events, however, and this issue is currently engulfed in confusion. This Comment attempts to resolve this confusion and propose a solution to the retroactivity problem. Section II delineates the retroactivity issue, while Section III discusses the history of sovereign immunity and describes the FSIA in detail. Section IV outlines the sources of confusion in the area of FSIA retroactivity and identifies four basic principles which may be applied to circumvent the confusion. Finally, Section V proposes a retroactivity solution arrived at through the application of these principles.

Purpose：This study was designed to identify the effects of carrying bag positions (None, left hand, right hand,left shoulder, right shoulder) on static balance.
Methods：Fourteen healthy adult females participated in the this study. The exclusion criteria were orthopedic or neurologic disease, predominant left side. Measurements were performed initial effects. Results were evaluated by OSI, APSI, and MLSI in the biodex stability system.
Results：There are among the three assessments (overall stability index(OSI), antero-posterior stability index (APSI), medio-lateral stability index(MLSI) significants difference for the carrying bags positions (None bag, left hand, right hand, left shoulder, right shoulder)(p<.05). The post-hoc test revealed a significant difference between none bag and both left hand and left shoulder in the OSI, APSI, MLSI (p<.05). Also, comparing the carrying positions significant difference between right hand and both left hand and left shoulder in the MLSI (p<.05).
Conclusion：The results suggest that none dominant side with carrying bag improve more imbalance than none bag and right hand of dominant with carrying bag improve more balance than non dominant side. When comparing the four carrying bag conditions, right hand was more effective than another conditions in static balance.

[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] missing av_free_packet on error?
Reimar Döffinger Reimar.Doeffinger
Thu Jul 10 21:53:15 CEST 2008
Hello,
I have been trying to fix
_URL_
and thus noticed the following code in libavformat/eacdata.c:
================================
if (av_get_packet(s->pb, pkt, packet_size) != packet_size)
 return AVERROR(EIO);
================================
Whereas av_find_stream_info() assumes that if there is an error, there
is no packet to free.
My question is: where is the error, where should it be fixed?
In the demuxer, in av_find_stream_info, av_read_... or maybe this check
should be moved to av_get_packet, to make it always fail when not all
requested data could be read?
IMO in the demuxer, in which case I suggest this change:

Change Collision Shapes
A collision shape is the surface area around an object that gets affected when two objects from different collision groups collide.
For example, even though it looks like the ball in the image on the left can clearly make it over the cone obstacle, it will actually collide with it. If you click the Collision Shape Editor button in the scene, you will see in the image on the right that the cubic collision shape of the ball will graze the top of the conic collision shape of the obstacle. If not, see Viewing Collision Shapes.
Here's what you need to know about collision shapes:
- A collision shape may be the same physical shape as the object or be of different shape, for example, a cone can have a cylinder collision shape.
- You can expand a collision shape in size, as if to add padding to the object, typically to increase the collision surface of the object.
- You can also move a collision shape away from the object.
Thus, when two assets collide, for example, when a character runs into an obstacle, it is their collision shapes that get affected, not the objects themselves.
To change a collision shape of an asset:
- On the Mind Map, double-click the World node where you want to change a collision shape of an asset.
The Scene Editor is displayed.
- On the toolbar, click the Collision Shape Editor button.
- Select the asset in the scene.
- In the Options panel on the right, in the Collision Shape field, select the shape you need.
- Mesh—A sophisticated shape, with outer and inner vertices created to reflect the shape details, such as a hole in a torus, for example, which would let objects go through it during a collision.
- Hull—A "solid" shape that reflects only the outer frame of the selected shape, without details such as a hole in a torus, for example. No objects can go through a Hull collision shape.
- If you select Mesh or Hull, in the Collision Mesh field that appears below, click the Edit icon and select the appropriate shape from Mesh Manager and click Save.


Open-Sourcing Our Netdiag Crate
Will Glozer -
Kentik Labs is happy to announce the release of our first open-source Rust crate, netdiag, which provides scalable, asynchronous, implementations of a number of low-level network diagnostics including ping, trace, and a custom diagnostic we call knock. Netdiag is at the core of our synthetics product which monitors application and network performance using a global network of public and private agents.
Netdiag is built on top of tokio and the raw-socket crate. Diagnostic instances are Send and Sync so concurrent tasks can share the same underlying open sockets and state. This provides for efficient execution of many concurrent diagnostic tasks. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported for all diagnostics.
The following async code snippet from netdiag's ping example demonstrates using Pinger to stream ping results:
let pinger = Pinger::new(&Bind::default()).await?;
let ping = Ping { addr, count, expiry };
let stream =;
while let Some((n, item)) = {
 match item? {
 Some(d) => println!("seq {} RTT {:0.2?} ", n, d),
 None => println!("seq {} timeout", n),
Pinger::new takes a Bind reference that allows using a specific IPv4 and/or IPv6 source address. This can be useful on a host with multiple routable interfaces.
let pinger = Pinger::new(&Bind::default()).await?; returns a Stream of Some(Duration) or None results to indicate no response was received before the expiry time elapsed. StreamExt.enumerate is a convenient extension to Stream that returns the current iteration count in addition to the next value.
let stream =;
Writing async code in Rust is quite pleasant in general, however it isn't uncommon to run into ergonomics issues around pinning. stream must be pinned via futures::pin_mut prior to calling
Pinger and the ping module implement the classic ping diagnostic which uses ICMP echo request & reply packets to estimate round-trip-time (RTT) and packet loss to a host.
Ping is a simple and well-known diagnostic tool that gives a reasonably good view of network latency and packet loss in the general case. However it may not accurately reflect application performance as ICMP traffic can be handled differently than typical application protocols such as TCP and UDP.
Tracer and the trace module implement the classic traceroute diagnostic which sends UDP, or TCP, packets with an increasing time-to-live (TTL) to determine each hop in the route between source and destination. Examining latency and packet loss for each node in a route can help pinpoint network performance issues.
The netdiag trace implementation discovers multiple paths between source and destination by sending multiple probes per hop while varying the packet header. UDP probes increment the destination port for each probe while TCP probes increment the sequence number instead to allow targeting a specific destination port.
Unix implementations of traceroute usually default to sending UDP probes, however networks may block, rate-limit, or otherwise alter the profile of UDP traffic. TCP probes can bypass some or all of these issues.
Knocker and the knock module implement a custom diagnostic which performs a partial TCP handshake to estimate RTT and packet loss. Knock can provide a more accurate view of application performance since most application traffic uses TCP and networks often block or rate-limit ICMP traffic.
IPv4 & IPv6
IPv4 and IPv6 support for ping is relatively simple. ICMP raw sockets do not need the IP header when sending, and the ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 echo packet format is identical. However the ICMP type differs, the ICMP checksum must be calculated for ICMPv4, and a IPv4 raw socket receives the IP header while a IPv6 raw socket does not.
IPv4 and IPv6 support for knock & trace is more complicated. Sending and receiving TCP & UDP packets with an IPv4 raw socket require encoding & decoding the IP header. With IPv6 raw sockets the kernel manages the IP header and ancillary data is used to send and receive IP fields such as hop limit and destination address.
The raw-socket crate supports ancillary data via CMsg and the control buffer passed to the send_msg & recv_msg methods of RawSocket.
Rust at Kentik
Rust is one of the core languages used for systems development at Kentik. We rely on a significant amount of open-source software and are happy to be able to contribute back to that community. Our netdiag crate is in active use in hundreds of locations worldwide, powering tens of thousands of active diagnostic tasks, and we hope others find it useful too. And if you are a programmer interested in Rust or any of the topics covered in this post, we're hiring!
