jonathan++ | [rakudo] Implement the but operator. To get it resolving enums correctly, we also mark the enum anonymous class with the 'enum' property; we may find a better way later.
20:34 TimToady thepler: yes, it would be false in that case, so use == :)
20:34 ruoso TimToady, I think ^Foo is the same as Foo.HOW...
20:35 ruoso TimToady, which means that no first argument is prepended...
20:35 thepler TomToady: right-o. just trying to understand the difference between types and classes
20:37 TimToady objects can really only be of class type. containers can have subset constraints and role constraints
20:40 ruoso TimToady, but... if IntSubClass implements WHICH by returning an Int, $subint === $int could be true...
20:43 ruoso that's the "recursively" part of the spec... which means that the implementation will call WHICH until it has something it knows how to compare...
20:44 thepler ruoso, I think 2 values cannot be === unless they are in exactly same class
20:44 ruoso === calls WHICH on each side...
20:44 ruoso it depends on what return it gets...
20:44 thepler if they are, and that class implements .WHICH, then those values will be compared
20:45 ruoso thepler, everything must implement WHICH
20:45 ruoso thepler, the interpreter cannot assume to have a way to compare the objects...
20:45 ruoso thepler, the interpreter cannot assume to know how the object is implemented
20:45 ruoso not in terms of which methods it has
20:45 ruoso but how it's lowlevel is represented
20:45 thepler ruoso, right, everything must have a .WHICH
20:46 thepler but I would think that .WHICH isn't even called if the values are in different classes -- but I could very well be wrong
20:47 ruoso thepler, that's the point.... the interpreter cannot really check if they are of the same class...
20:47 ruoso the interpreter need to ask that to the object...
20:47 ruoso and the object can lie
20:48 ruoso (which is, actually, one of the most exciting features of Perl 6)
20:48 thepler $a.HOW === $b.HOW ?? (I'm guessing)
20:48 ruoso in prototype-based OO several objects of different types are going to share the metaclass
20:50 ruoso but this is how you are going to be able to use Glib as your object representation while still using the default Perl 6 metaclass...

22:06 pmurias what part do you have problems with?
22:13 thepler none really. I think it's all doable. can even use autobox so I can call ->equals and ->WHICH on anything I suppose
22:14 pmurias should it be indentical instead of equals?
22:14 pmurias * identical
22:15 thepler yeah, or maybe ->is_identical ?
22:15 thepler what's wrong with ->equals though? already in use?

zope.browserresource 4.2.1
Browser resources implementation for Zope.
zope.browserresource Overview
Note
This package is at present not reusable without depending on a large chunk of the Zope Toolkit and its assumptions. It is maintained by the Zope Toolkit project.
This package provides an implementation of browser resources. It also provides directives for defining those resources using ZCML.
Resources are static files and directories that are served to the browser directly from the filesystem. The most common example are images, CSS style sheets, or JavaScript files.
Resources are be registered under a symbolic name and can later be referred to by that name, so their usage is independent from their physical location.
You can register a single file with the <browser:resource> directive, and a whole directory with the <browser:resourceDirectory> directive, for example
<browser:resource
file="/path/to/static.file" name="myfile" />
<browser:resourceDirectory
directory="/path/to/images" name="main-images" />
This causes a named adapter to be registered that adapts the request to zope.interface.Interface (XXX why do we not use an explicit interface?), so to later retrieve a resource, use zope.component.getAdapter(request, name='myfile').
There are two ways to traverse to a resource,
 1. with the 'empty' view on a site, e. g. http://localhost/@@/myfile (This is declared by zope.browserresource)
 2. with the ++resource++ namespace, e. g. http://localhost/++resource++myfile (This is declared by zope.traversing.namespace)
In case of resource-directories traversal simply continues through its contents, e. g. http://localhost/@@/main-images/subdir/sample.jpg
Rather than putting together the URL to a resource manually, you should use zope.traversing.browser.interfaces.IAbsoluteURL to get the URL, or for a shorthand, call the resource object. This has an additional benefit:
If you want to serve resources from a different URL, for example because you want to use a web server specialized in serving static files instead of the appserver, you can register an IAbsoluteURL adapter for the site under the name 'resource' that will be used to compute the base URLs for resources.
For example, if you register _URL_ as the base 'resource' URL, the resources from the above example would yield the following absolute URLs: _URL_ and _URL_
Changes

 - Return no ETag if no adapter is registered, disabling the requirement for applications that was introduced in 3.11.0 (GitHub #1)
4.0.1 (2013-04-03)
 - Fix some Python 3 string vs bytes issues.
4.0.0 (2013-02-20)

3.12.0 (2010-12-14)
 - Add zcml extra dependencies and fixed dependencies of configure.zcml on other packages' meta.zcml.
 - Add a test for including our own configure.zcml.
3.11.0 (2010-08-13)
 - Support the HTTP ETag header for file resources. ETag generation can be customized or disabled by providing an IETag multi-adapter on (IFileResource, your-application-skin).
3.10.3 (2010-04-30)
 - Prefer the standard libraries doctest module to the one from zope.testing.
3.10.2 (2009-11-25)
 - The previous release had a broken egg, sorry.
3.10.1 (2009-11-24)
 - Import hooks functionality from zope.component after it was moved there from zope.site. This lifts the dependency on zope.site and thereby, ZODB.
 - Import ISite and IPossibleSite from zope.component after they were moved there from zope.location.
3.10.0 (2009-09-25)
 - Add an ability to forbid publishing of some files in the resource directory, this is done by fnmatch'ing the wildcards in the forbidden_names''class attribute of ''DirectoryResource. By default, the .svn is in that attribute, so directories won't publish subversion system directory that can contain private information.
3.9.0 (2009-08-27)
Initial release. This package was splitted off zope.app.publisher as a part of refactoring process.
Additional changes that are made during refactoring:
 - Resource class for file resources are now selected the pluggable way. The resource directory publisher and browser:resource ZCML directive now creating file resources using factory utility lookup based on the file extension, so it's now possible to add new resource types without introducing new ZCML directives and they will work inside resource directories as well.
 NOTE: the "resource_factories" attribute from the DirectoryResource was removed, so if you were using this attribute for changing resource classes for some file extensions, you need to migrate your code to new utility-based mechanism.
 See zope.browserresource.interfaces.IResourceFactoryFactory interface.
 - The Image resource class was removed, as they are actually simple files. To migrate, simply rename the "image" argument in browser:resource and browser:i18n-resource directives to "file", if you don't do this, resouces will work, but you'll get deprecation warnings.
 If you need custom behaviour for images, you can register a resource factory utility for needed file extensions.
 - The PageTemplateResource was moved into a separate package, "zope.ptresource", which is a plugin for this package now. Because of that, the "template" argument of browser:resource directive was deprecated and you should rename it to "file" to migrate. The PageTemplateResource will be created for "pt", "zpt" and "html" files automatically, if zope.ptresource package is included in your configuration.
 - Fix stripping the "I" from an interface name for icon title, if no title is specified.
 - When publishing a resource via Resources view, set resource parent to an ISite object, not to current site manager.
 - Clean up code and improve test coverage.

The Mg/Ca in foraminifera shells is commonly used as a proxy to estimate ocean temperatures in Earth's past. However, studies have shown that both dissolution and salinity influence the Mg/Ca in shells of tropical foraminifera, which can cause paleotemperature estimates to be inaccurate. We measured Mg/Ca in shells of Globigernoides ruber and Globigerinoides sacculifer from core tops in the eastern equatorial Pacific. We compared our results with global core top data, which paleotemperature equations have been calibrated and published. We find that Mg/Ca values range greatly at the same surface ocean temperature. We also find that salinity and dissolution do not affect the relationship between Mg/Ca and temperature. In analyzing the carbonate ion concentration of the water at 30m, we find that this might be affecting the relationship between Mg/Ca and temperature, which could be affecting the accuracy of the Mg/Ca proxy.

William Trent House Museum
William Trent built his country estate north of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, at the Falls of the Delaware River about 1719. It was a large, imposing brick structure, built in the newest fashion. An "allee" of English cherry trees led from the entrance down to the ferry landing. Nearby, there were numerous outbuildings as well as grist, saw and fulling mills along the Assunpink Creek. In 1720 Trent laid out a settlement, which he incorporated and named "Trenton." Through careful preservation and accurate historical interpretation, visitors will become aware of the importance of this building in national, state and municipal history. An ambitious restoration project is nearly complete and will provide a more accurate historical representation of the museum's original appearance.

The Mystery School Code Review: A Complete Guide to Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe
The Mystery School Code is an ancient system of knowledge and wisdom passed down through generations. It is a powerful tool for personal transformation and spiritual development, providing the keys to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.
The origins of the Mystery School Code can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as Egypt and Greece, where secret societies and mystery schools were established to preserve and transmit this sacred knowledge. The teachings of the Mystery School Code have been passed down through the ages, and continue to be practiced and studied by spiritual seekers today.
One of the key components of the Mystery School Code is the use of symbols and archetypes. These symbols and archetypes are powerful tools for unlocking the hidden knowledge and wisdom of the universe, and can be used to access higher levels of consciousness and understanding. The use of symbols and archetypes is also a way of encoding the teachings of the Mystery School Code, to preserve them for future generations.
The Mystery School Code also emphasizes the importance of community and connection. Those who practice the Mystery School Code are part of a global community of like-minded individuals, all working together to unlock the secrets of the universe. This sense of connection and community is an integral part of the Mystery School Code, providing support and guidance as one travels along their spiritual journey.
The Mystery School Code also provides a unique approach to personal development and growth. It teaches individuals how to tap into the power of their own minds, and harness the power of their thoughts and emotions to create positive change in their lives. Through the use of visualization and other techniques, one can manifest their deepest desires and create the life they have always dreamed of.
One of the most powerful practices within the Mystery School Code is meditation. Meditation is a way of quieting the mind and accessing the deeper levels of consciousness. It is a powerful tool for personal transformation and spiritual development, and is an essential part of the Mystery School Code.
The Mystery School Code also teaches about the use of energy and vibration. Everything in the universe is made up of energy and vibrates at a certain frequency. By understanding and working with these energies and vibrations, one can access higher levels of consciousness and understanding, and manifest positive change in their life.
For those looking to deepen their spiritual practice and unlock their full potential, the Mystery School Code is an invaluable tool. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, the Mystery School Code offers a powerful and transformative path to spiritual growth and understanding.

Version: 5.0.0
Post build updating with SQL triggers
Warning Please note this is an experimental facility and is subject to a number of caveats (see below). Please always take a backup of your database before trying.
We very much welcome feedback, discussion and additional patches for this. Many thanks to Joe Carlson of the DOE Joint Genome Institute for the idea and implementation!
 1. InterMine release > 1.7.3
 2. plpgsql must be installed in your postgres (select * from pg_language where lanname='plpgsql';). Check the postgreSQL manuals for instructions on installing languages if needed.
 3. Backup the database prior to making changes, especially if there are changes that affect foreign keys.
Traditionally, once the data for a mine has been built, it can only be updated by a complete rebuild. However, sometimes, after a long loading process, you see that something is not right: perhaps a minor issue such as a typo in a name, or perhaps something more major such as errors in an entire dataset. Rather than rebuilding the entire mine from scratch, a process that can take many hours or even many days, you'd like to make changes to your existing data build.
Making such updates requires coordinated changes to a number of InterMine tables. For instance, to update a value, one needs to at least:
 1. Update the value in InterMine's table for that object (e.g. the length column in the Gene table).
 2. Update the value in InterMine's tables for all the ancestor classes of that object (e.g. the length column in the SequenceFeature table).
 3. Update the serialized object in the object column of the intermineobject table.
One way to do this is by installing triggers into the PostgreSQL database that will co-ordinate these updates. InterMine can now generate such triggers if you invoke the ant generate-update-triggers in your mine's dbmodel/ directory like so:
cd $MINE
./gradlew generateUpdateTriggers
This will generate two SQL files in the dbmodel/build/resources/main/ subdirectory
add-update-triggers.sql contains the SQL triggers necessary to co-ordinate table updates. remove-update-triggers.sql contains the removal code. All the triggers have a prefix of im_.
Adding triggers#
To add the triggers just execute add-update-triggers.sql using psql like so
psql -f add-update-triggers.sql MINE-NAME
You can now do basic create/update/delete operations such as:
 - UPDATE organism set genus='Homo' where genus='Homer';
 - DELETE FROM organism where commonname='yeti';
The triggers propagate the operations to the superclasses and InterMineObjec tables.
Tables have default values supplied for id and class, so you can create new records
 - INSERT INTO organism (genus,species) values ('Hello','world');
The id is supplied from a sequence im_post_build_insert_serial which is initially set to the maximum id of InterMineObject.
Once you've completed update operations, you must remove the triggers. Failure to do so may cause interference with InterMine's run time serial use, though this point needs to be clarified.
Removing triggers#
You can remove triggers by executing the remove-update-triggers.sql SQL:
psql -f remove-update-triggers.sql MINE-NAME
What can't be done (yet)#
Please note that there are a number of database changes that the triggers CANNOT handle as of yet:
 1. Foreign key constraints are not enforced. If you delete a gene, there may still be entries in the genesproteins table or a reference to this from the geneid field in the mrna table. Foreign keys are enforced at the application layer. This means whoever is doing the update needs to keep things straight. (This is possible to implement. It may be done in the future.)
 2. The tracker table is not updated. If you do an integration step after manual operations and the integrator is trying to update a column value that you inserted manually, the integration step will fail.
 3. The clob table cannot be manipulated. Again, this may also be changed in the future.
 4. If the id field in InterMineObject has exceeded 2^31 and gone negative, the sequence im_post_build_insert_serial cannot be used in INSERT operations without (probably) colliding with another object. The value of the serial must be set manually in this case.


Beware the fury of a patient man
This page is about the saying "Beware the fury of a patient man".
Possible interpretation: The implication is that the anger of people who are normally slow to anger is, when it eventually comes, terrible.
Note: beware (verb) = be careful about; be cautious; be aware of the dangers | fury (noun) = violent anger | patient (adj.) = able to wait without getting angry | Compare: "Patience provoked turns to fury."
Origin: Quotation from Publilius Syrus, a Latin writer of maxims in the 1st century BC. In the 17th century, British poet and dramatist John Dryden used it in "Absalom and Achitophel", generally considered to be the greatest political poem in the English language:
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.
Quick Quiz:
The saying "Beware the fury of a patient man" warns us
a. not to be impatient
b. not to push impatient people too far
c. not to push patient people too far

Healthy diet means better mental health (Australia)
Australian researchers have shown that a nutritious diet has a significant, positive effect on mental health and can even aid in the prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne have been studying the impact of teenage diets on depressive symptoms since 2005. Over 2000 study participants, age 11 to 18 years, were sampled from 2005 to 2006, and again in 2007 to 2008. Diet quality and mental health baselines were established at the beginning of the study and followed up throughout the project.
After adjustments for sociodemographic variables and exercise, it was found that a good quality diet predicted better mental health than any other factor. Furthermore, dietary changes matched mental health states during the investigation. In other words, improved diet was reflected in improved mental health and a poor quality diet filled with snacks and highly processed foods was associated with a deterioration in mental health.
These results corroborate the 2010 findings of the same research team wherein diet and mental health outcomes of Australian women across a wide range of ages were studied. In that investigation, researchers found that women who ate a diet of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, high quality meat and fish reduced their risk of depression, dysthymia and anxiety by more than 30 per cent. On the other hand, women eating a diet with high quantities of refined and processed foods as well as saturated fats, had a 50 per cent increased likelihood of developing depression.

Canadian Black History
Season of Rage: Hugh Burnett and the Struggle for Civil Rights
by John Cooper
The small Ontario town of Dresden was one of the end points of the Underground Railroad. The escaped slaves who settled there built many of the area's schools and churches. Yet racial discrimination persisted. Dresden's barbershops, beauty parlor, pool halls, and two of its restaurants, refused to serve black customers.
Hugh Burnett, a successful furniture maker, decided to take a stand. He and others formed the National Unity Association to forge better race and group relations. With the backing of the Joint Labour Committee for Human Rights, they worked diligently to enforce the new laws of the Ontario government, which made discrimination based on race or religion a statutory offence.
With writing that simmers with a quiet, palpable anger, author John Cooper sheds light on an important moment in Canadian history.

Resources are new types of materials introduced in Dead Space 3 to replace traditional credits, as the Store system is not present in the game. They drop randomly from Necromorphs, as well as appearing in storage rooms and crates. Resources are generally used to craft various items and essentials, but they are also used to upgrade the user's RIG if they have the necessary resources.
- Scrap Metal - The most common resource. It's used in nearly everything, from creating weapon parts and ammunition to forging new circuits and improvement of armor. Resource Scavenging yields Scrap Metal at a much higher amount than other materials.
- Semiconductors - A semi-common resource used extensively in Armor upgrades and the creation of some weapon parts.
- Transducers - A somewhat rare resource used extensively in Stasis Module upgrades and the creation of Stasis Packs. Transducers are generally found in wall containers in much greater amounts and availability than that of natural drops or in boxes.
- Tungsten - The rarest resource, used in the creation of advanced weapon parts, circuits and Tungsten Torque Bars, which can be used to unlock certain storage rooms. Depending on the type of weapon frame being used, Tungsten must be spent to unlock additional circuit slots at 20, 40 and 60 counts, unless using an Elite (or better) frame, which will have all slots already unlocked.
- Somatic Gel - Somatic Gel is only used in the creation of Med Packs and for RIG hit point upgrades. At higher difficulties or on Pure Survival mode, Somatic Gel becomes vastly more scarce compared to other modes, unlike other resources.
Ration Seals are special items not found anywhere in the world and must be found by Scavenger Bots. Instead of being used to make things, like the resources above, these Seals can be traded for Resource Packs at any Bench. The prices of resource packs are 10, 30, or 60 seals. The 10 Ration Seals pack contains a decent amount of resources, but unlike the 30 and 60 Ration Seals packs, no Mk. V weapon parts are given. For 30 Ration Seals you can get a Mk. V weapon part, with a 50% chance of a 2nd one, and a nice quantity of resources. A 60 Ration Seal pack has 2 Mk. V weapon parts, with a 50% chance of getting a third, and has more resources than the 30 Ration Seal pack.
Resources can also be gathered by deploying Scavenger Bots. Depending on whether or not you deploy the bot at a hotspot, it will bring many or little resources.
Resource-rich sites most appropriate for scavenger bot deployment are often marked by a weird pulsating sound, whether in space or on the ground. Areas that does not contain resource (i.e shown as a red circle) can still be searched with a bot, however will yield little to none resources at all.
Upon completing Pure Survival mode, Mega Resources deposits becomes available at random locations, and will yield much more resources per turn compared to normal sites.

I have an umlaut as part of my family name. It sucks that in most official documents they never include it.
In Spanish, the combination of 'g'
is special. For other vowels, there are two sounds, 'j'
For example, 'ja'
would sound something like 'ha'
(harsh sound) while 'ga'
sounds like 'gah'
(soft sound). Same with 'o'
But for 'e'
the sound is always harsh 'ge' == 'je'
which sound like 'heh'
and 'gi' == 'ji'
which sound like 'hee'
To get the softer sound, you need to put an 'u'
in between: 'gue'
, resulting in 'geh'
(more or less).
The umlaut is used when the 'u'
should be pronounced normally in those instances, so 'güe'
sounds something like 'gooeh'
sounds something like 'gooee'
Several languages use diaeresis over the letter U to show that the letter is pronounced in its regular way, without dropping out, building diphthongs with neighbours etc.
In Spanish it is used to distinguish between "gue"/"güe" and "gui"/"güi": antigüedad (antiquity), pingüino (penguin). This is also the case for the Nicaraguan demonym, Nicaragüense. Similarly in Catalan language,
"gue~güe" are [ɡe]~[ɡwe],
"gui~güi" are [ɡi]~[ɡwi],
as in aigües, pingüins, qüestió, adeqüi. Also ü is used to mark that vowel pairs that normally would form a diphthong must be pronounced as separate syllables, examples: Raül, diürn.
So yeah it is a little complicated.
Back on topic, I guess the umlauts are used for visual effect; Adding uncommon symbols makes the text stand out from other game titles.

The impact of electrical load shifting strategies on storage capacity and service provision of domestic hot water systems in residential buildings
conference contributionposted on 06.06.2017, 12:27 by Dashamir Marini, Richard Buswell, Christina Hopfe
Domestic hot water can accounts for up to 25% of the total domestic energy consumption in the UK and is demand driven. In the UK there has been a trend to replace traditional tank systems with instantaneous supply of hot water through gas fired combination boilers, leaving the space occupied by the tank to be repurposed by the household. This space is likely to become more critical as the need for storage increases in order to participate in peak load shifting when spaceheating and hot water is supplied by electricity rather than gas. The size of tank and hence the delivery of water at an appropriate temperature delivered when demand dictate is likely to become a point of tension in future systems. This paper introduces a notion of hot water 'service' that can be evaluated and used to compare the performance of different systems, along side more traditional metrics such as cost, power and tank size. The analysis compares several load shifting strategies through a TRNSYS model driven by high resolution hot water data (1sec) measured in a UK home. It is demonstrated that optimal tank size and the service the system can provide are very sensitive to the load shifting strategy applied.
The work was funded through the TEDDI call managed by the RCUK Digital Economy and Energy programmes (EPSRC Grant Number EP/M006735/1).

SubjectDCN 1: Perception and Action; DCN 2: Functional Neurogenomics; UMCN 3.1: Neuromuscular development and genetic disorders
In this study we investigated the diagnostic value of quantitative skeletal muscle ultrasonography in 150 consecutively referred children with symptoms suspect for a neuromuscular disorder. Muscle thickness and quantitatively determined echo intensity of four muscles and the distribution of these variables within the body were examined. RESULTS: Patients with and without a neuromuscular disorder could be discriminated with a positive predictive value of 91% and a negative predictive value of 86%. Patients with a neurogenic disorder could be distinguished from myopathies and non-neuromuscular disorders with a positive predictive value of 86% and a negative predictive of 84%, using the pattern of distribution of pathology within the body. CONCLUSIONS: Skeletal muscle ultrasound is a good, practical and non-invasive aid in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders in children, that is able to discriminate between children with and without a neuromuscular disorder and between neurogenic disorders and myopathies with high predictive values.

Thomas Wolfe Memorial
The Thomas Wolfe Memorial, located in Asheville, is centered around the rambling Victorian home where the novelist spent his childhood and adolescence. The house was built in 1883, in the Queen Anne style, and enlarged many times, as Wolfe's mother operated it as a boardinghouse called "Old Kentucky Home" for several decades starting in 1906. Wolfe was born on 3 Oct. 1900 in a smaller house that stood two blocks away, but Old Kentucky Home served as the model for the boardinghouse named "Dixieland" in his epic autobiographical novel, Look Homeward, Angel (1929).
The rooms of Old Kentucky Home have been preserved almost intact, with the original Wolfe family pieces arranged much as they were during Wolfe's youth. At first frowned upon in his hometown for the unflattering portrait he painted of it in his novels (Look Homeward, Angel was banned from the Asheville public library for seven years), Wolfe was later celebrated as one of the city's most famous citizens. His youthful home came to be seen as worth preserving as part of the nation's literary history. A classic of twentieth-century Americana, the house has been preserved as an attraction for people from around the world since 1971 as a National Historic Landmark and since 1976 as a North Carolina State Historic Site.
In 1998 a fire severely damaged many of the house's rooms. A number of artifacts and furnishings were subsequently restored, and architects rebuilt the damaged home. The house was closed to visitors for several years, although the visitors center, exhibit hall, and audiovisual program remained open, and the site continued to host special events. All sections of the Thomas Wolf Memorial were reopened in 2004.

What is the White Staining on My Chimney?
Many homeowners just assume that this white discoloration is simply a sign of aging on a chimney. Nothing could be farther from the truth the white residue called efflorescence is actually a symptom of water leaking into your chimney system. This condition if left unchecked will cause premature aging and deterioration of the chimney structure for sure. Water and moisture are the biggest enemies of the structural integrity of your chimney.
What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence forms from soluble-solutions moving through masonry material and evaporating on the other side, leaving behind the salt residue. It then becomes a white crystallized or powdery substance found on the exterior of stone, block, or brick masonry. The substance forms as a result of excess water in the structure that after crystallizing takes on a fluffy or fuzzy form and coats the exterior of the stone over time.
The efflorescence is formed when problems occur with the chimney masonry which lets in excess water to the structure. This could include chimney material cracks, a chimney that has not been properly sealed or is missing a cap or other sealant. This defect allows rain water to seep into the brick or stone walls. As water moves through the wall, it dissolves salt particles naturally present in the masonry along the way. The water will then evaporate through the outside wall and leave behind the salt residue on the surface. These salt deposits create the white residue left on the chimney surface. While the salt deposits themselves are mostly an aesthetic problem and will not cause structural damage, they are a tell tale sign of excess water present within the structure. The visible salt residue is a sure sign of water leaking into the stone structure and if left alone, can cause serious damage to the structure. While the white salt on the surface is relatively easy to remove compared to other stains, further investigation must be done to stop the water leak at the origin before substantial damage to the structure is done.
3 Conditions Needed for Efflorescence to Exist
Without each of the following conditions, efflorescence will not occur.
1. Soluble-salts present within the masonry structure
2. Enough moisture to create a soluble-solution from the salts
3. A means for the salt to travel through the structure in order to evaporate on the exterior and leave behind the resulting crystallized efflorescence
Brown, Green, or Yellow Efflorescence
The most common form of efflorescence is the white powdery residue, but it can come in brown, green or yellow as well. The color of the stains depends on the types of salt found within the structure wall. Crystalline deposits from over twenty different compounds have been found on masonry walls. Efflorescence producing salts typically come from sulfates of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sometimes iron. The various colors come from different minerals. For example, molybdenum, magnesium compounds, and vanadium sometimes create a greenish colored stain. Manganese compounds can also create a brownish stain at times.
Protect Your Home from Efflorescence before it Appears
The best way to take care of efflorescence is to never get it! It is difficult to guarantee efflorescence will not later develop when building a chimney, but there are ways to lessen the chances of its occurrence. By taking away any one of the 3 conditions listed above, efflorescence will likely not take place. The most straight forward way to reduce the appearance of efflorescence is to use materials in the building process that do not contain large amounts of soluble salts, or those that contain low alkali. Proper drainage away from the structure will also serve to prevent efflorescence from occurring. Eliminating the source of the moisture will not allow the soluble-solution to form in the first place. Otherwise, brick sealants in the building process and before efflorescence has begun will prevent the deposits as well.
The Dangers Associated with Efflorescence
If you see white stains on the outside of your chimney above the roof, you can be sure this condition is flowing down into the attic as well. Adding moisture into the attic where the wood meets the brick creates mold and rot.
Efflorescence is not mold, although it is often mistaken for it. But the two household pests do have some common traits; both are caused by excess water. The wet conditions associated with efflorescence mean that the ideal climate for mold and other moisture related problems are present. Therefore, mold is commonly found along with efflorescence on the interior of the structure. Along with the removal of the white composites left behind from the efflorescence, the building where efflorescence is found should also be inspected for problem mold, allergens, and bacteria. Surfaces that contain organic material should also be closely examined. These include materials such as wood, painted surfaces, carpet, insulation and padding.
Most of the time harsh rain and winds will remove outdoor efflorescence on its own with normal weathering. And if this is not the case, or if the efflorescence is indoors, these deposits are relatively easy to wash off by hand (see the DIY guide below), but the problem will continue to reappear if the leak is not fixed at the source. The crack or missing part that let the water into the structure must be found and if there is not a place like this, the brick must be sealed so that moisture does not continue to permeate the stone.
To find the source of the excess moisture being let in, begin at the top of the chimney working your way down while looking for missing mortar, cracks, missing caps, bad flashing and anything else that looks in need of repair. If there are no obvious problems, then the excess moisture is most likely seeping in through the brick and the brick will then have to be sealed once the current efflorescence has been removed. Brick does not act like a wall against moisture, the material acts like a sponge so further protection may be necessary.
DIY Efflorescence Cleaning
When the weather outdoors does not take care of much of the unsightly white residue of the efflorescence, the underlying problem is still present and the stains will reoccur. If you have a severe case of efflorescence deposits on your hands, there are DIY instructions on several websites detailing the use of muriatic acid (very harsh chemical) diluted with water to remove the white stain coating from your chimney walls. There are also premixed solutions available for do-it-yourselfers to clean stained brick.
A chimney professional should inspect any chimney that has efflorescence to determine the extent of damage caused from the moisture that has been allowed to enter the brick and mortar. If the damage is minimal, the chimney may be able to be cleaned and then coated with a water resistant sealant to the protect the chimney. These waterproofing sealants provide an increased barrier against moisture, but are not a permanent solution especially if the condition has already damaged the brick and mortar.

ABEL: An interactive tool for probabilistic argumentative reasoning. Most formal approaches to argumentative reasoning under uncertainty focus on the analysis of qualitative aspects. An exception is the framework of probabilistic argumentation systems. Its philosophy is to include both qualitative and quantitative aspects through a simple way of combining logic and probability theory. Probabilities are used to weigh arguments for and against particular hypotheses. ABEL is a language that allows to describe probabilistic argumentation systems and corresponding queries about hypotheses. It then returns arguments and counter-arguments with corresponding numerical weights.

How to Transfer Apps to New Android from old Android Device
In this article we will learn how to transfer the apps to a new android device from an old android device. The methods will tell how to transfer apps from android in built feature and restore feature. Or maybe using the Samsung smart switch mobile app if you already have it on your device. Therefore, in the instructions we cover the Android pie 9.0, Oreo 8.0, Nougat 7.0 and android devices from all the manufacturers.
Transfer apps to a new android phone using the Android backup and restoring feature
The simplest method to transfer your apps from android to android. It is by backing up your old device, and restoring the function on the new phone. Firstly, you need see if your new device is backing up your data or not, to do so you have to:
 1. Go on to the Settings.
 2. Tap on the System by scrolling down.
 3. Select the Backup option (You might have to expand the Advanced section before that).
 4. Check and see if the toggle of the Back up to Google Drive is on, if you see it is on then you are ready!
 5. If the toggle is off then slide it to make it on and Back up now.
 6. Hence, you are all set after the backup is complete.
Restoring your data to the new phone
Now you are all set to restore the data to your new android phone from the old one through this method. However, if you have not yet restored your data you can now restore it including all the apps during this process.
 1. Make sure to charge your new android device and power it up. Follow the instructions from the screen till it asks you to restore the data from another device. However, you can always opt to start it as a brand-new clean slate, but restoring some data will be helpful for you in the future.
 2. Tap on the Copy Your Data and select the device from which you have to restore the data.
 3. Then your android device will ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network. Be sure that you connected to the same network as your old device is.
 4. Now you will be seeing the restore option on the screen of your phone. Select either A Back up from an android phone or A Back up from the cloud or drive.
 5. Use your old phone only and sign into your google account.
 6. Here you will see the list of the options to back up including your old device.
 7. Now choose the right one or correct one and tap Restore. So that you can transfer all the data and setting from your old device. Tap on the Apps you wish to transfer from your old device to your new device.
 8. Hence, now you can continue with your setting up process, while your data is restoring in the background.
Use the Samsung Smart Switch mobile App
Therefore, if you have a Samsung S7 or other version, then smart switch app is already in that in your device, for your old device you can download this app from the app store. And then follow the instructions from the screen and download it. You can select this app to transfer your data from any android phone which has android marshmallow 6.0 to a Samsung phone.
Therefore, to get into the app on S7 or later version, tap on Settings > Accounts > Smart switch, for any different phone look in the app drawer for the app.
There are three ways which you can use with Smart Switch: USB cable, Wirelessly, or external storage. The most straightforward method is transferring the apps wirelessly.
 1. Open Smart Switch on your new device.
 2. Choose Wireless > Receive > Android.
 3. Now open Smart Switch on your old phone.
 4. Tap on Wireless > Send.
 5. Follow the screen instructions on your new phone.
From the USB cable
 1. Plug in the USB of your old device.
 2. Now connect that cable to the Samsung USB connector.
 3. Here you will now plug in the Samsung USB connector into your new device.
 4. Open Smart Switch on your old device.
 5. On your old phone adjust the USB settings to Media Device (MTP).
 6. Follow the screen instructions to move the apps.
Using the external storage (SD card)
Insert the SD card or connect your phone to the USB storage device in which you have the apps for restoring. And follow the instructions on the screen.
Samsung also provides the Smart Switch app for Mac. and Windows, installs and opens the desktop app and then connects the phone to the computer. Therefore, now follow the screen instructions to transfer the apps and the data right from the device you want it to.
Some considerations:
For the other apps that are not from Google, you will have to recheck if they are backing up the Google drive. However, it can be helpful especially if you want to save the chat history, usually, the popular apps have this. Your data will only sync properly if you sign in to all your Google devices. If you wish to save the bookmarks and the password then you have to be signed in to all the Google devices. Go on to the browser setting in sign-in from there if you have not signed in already. Therefore, this is how you will share apps from android to android.
Frequently Asked Question
Q. How do I transfer apps from old phone to new android?
A. Launch the Google Play Store. Tap the menu icon, then tap "My apps and games." You'll be shown a list of apps that were on your old phone. Pick the ones you want to migrate (you might not want to move brand-specific or carrier-specific apps from the old phone to the new), and download them
Q. How do I transfer everything to my new Android phone?
A. Switch to a new Android phone
 1. Charge both phones.
 2. Make sure you can unlock the old phone with a PIN, pattern, or password.
Q. Is there an app to transfer data from Android to Android?
A. Samsung Smart Switch
It allows the transfer of the data between any two Android devices (Lenovo, HTC, Motorola, etc.). The app can also transfer data between two Android devices through the SD card even

The Cathedral of Saint Andrew is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids.
The architecture of the Cathedral is Gothic and is characterized by pointed arches and vaulted stone. Its cornerstone was laid in May 30, 1875. The foundation is of limestone from the Grand River. To support the structure, the foundation was laid 11 feet deep and 3-8 feet thick. The building originally measured 136 feet long and 59 feet wide. After the fire of 1901 the building took its characteristic cross shape with the addition of the transepts. It now measures 209 feet in length. The highest spire measures 192 feet and the gilded cross is 12 feet tall and 7 feet wide. The tower houses 10 bells, installed in 1909. They were the first complete set of church bells in the state of Michigan. The bells are made of copper and weigh between 566 and 3,050 pounds each. They wait in silence for their refurbishing. The stained glass windows, imported from Munich, Germany, were installed shortly before WWI. They were purchased though the donations of the pastor and parishioners. The window depicts the life of Christ.
The Cathedral is located at [[address:=267 Sheldon Boulevard]] in the Heartside-Downtown neighborhood. Geographic coordinates are 42.958472° N, 85.667138° WLatitude: 42°57′30.499″N

Were ziggurats peaked at the top?
Asked by: Mrs. Charlene Bartell
Score: 5/5 (15 votes)
The ziggurats began as a platforms (usually oval, rectangular or square). The ziggurat was a mastaba-like structure with a flat top.
View full answer
Also Know, What was at the top of ziggurats?
At the top of the ziggurat was a shrine to the god. The priests would perform sacrifices and other rituals here. They built them high because they wanted the shrine to be as close to the heavens as possible.
Beside the above, What was the highest point of a ziggurat?. The best-preserved ziggurat is at Ur (modern Tall al-Muqayyar, Iraq). The largest, at Choghā Zanbīl in Elam (now in southwestern Iran), is 335 feet (102 metres) square and 80 feet (24 metres) high and stands at less than half its estimated original height.
In this manner, Who lives on top of ziggurat?
How tall was the first ziggurat?
The ziggurat was built by King Ur-Nammu, who dedicated it in honour of Nanna/Sîn in approximately the 21st century BC (short chronology) during the Third Dynasty of Ur. The massive step pyramid measured 64 m (210 ft) in length, 45 m (148 ft) in width and over 30 m (98 ft) in height.
44 related questions found
What was the most likely reason that ziggurats were tall?
Ziggurats were built tall so that they would connect the heavens to the earth.
What is inside the nanna ziggurat?
The core of the ziggurat is made of mud brick covered with baked bricks laid with bitumen, a naturally occurring tar. Each of the baked bricks measured about 11.5 x 11.5 x 2.75 inches and weighed as much as 33 pounds.
Who was the leader of the gods in Babylon?
Marduk, in Mesopotamian religion, the chief god of the city of Babylon and the national god of Babylonia; as such, he was eventually called simply Bel, or Lord. Marduk. Originally, he seems to have been a god of thunderstorms.
Can you go inside a ziggurat?
This is one of the oldest temples in Iraq and one of few archaeological Sumerian sites that can be visited in the city of Thiqar. Getting here may be tricky as you need to buy the tickets in the museum inside the city and then come to the site.... Walking here is walk in to glorious history of Sumer.
What is the difference between a ziggurat and a pyramid?
Ziggurats were built in Ancient Mesopotamia while pyramids were built in Ancient Egypt and Southern America. 3. Ziggurats have steps or terraces on its sides and multi-storied while pyramids just have one long stretch of staircase.... Ziggurats are chamber less while pyramids usually have internal chambers.
Where is Mesopotamia now?
What was the first form of writing called?
The cuneiform script, created in Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, ca. 3200 BC, was first. It is also the only writing system which can be traced to its earliest prehistoric origin. This antecedent of the cuneiform script was a system of counting and recording goods with clay tokens.
Which came first ziggurat or pyramid?
Even though pyramids still stand to this day, the Sumerian ziggurats were probably constructed before the first Egyptian pyramid. The Sumerian civilization is prior to the Nile valley civilizations, which suggests that the first ziggurat was built before the first pyramid.
What is a good sentence for ziggurat?
Ziggurat sentence example
Access to the stages of the ziggurat, from the court beneath, was had by an inclined plane on the south-east side. In the west corner stood a temple, with a stagetower ( ziggurat ) adjoining.
Why do you think ziggurats were so large?
There was another reason why the Ziggurats were built as tall structures. They were looked upon as mountains that had been recreated by human hands. People believed that the gods actually lived in the mountains in the eastern part of Mesopotamia.
Who was allowed in ziggurats?
At the very top of the ziggurat was a shrine to the main god of the city-state. The shrine contained a statue of the god. The only people allowed to enter the shrine were priests and priestesses. Ziggurats were often used as storage and distribution centers for surplus crops.
Can you visit the ruins of Ur?
The country is facing very difficult times. The government has little budget to protect historical sites. When most sites have been damaged during the recent wars and are not protected now, UR is still kept in good conditions. You can climb to the top of the ziggurat and have a great view of the area.
What do ziggurats tell us about ancient Sumer?
An example of a simple ziggurat is the White Temple of Uruk, in ancient Sumer.... Its purpose is to get the temple closer to the heavens, and provide access from the ground to it via steps. The Mesopotamians believed that these pyramid temples connected heaven and earth.
What do ziggurats do in Civ 6?
It offers a 75% science boost to all cities with a Holy Site (you will have probably captured some off other civs in War-Cart conquests) at the cost of -25% culture in all cities.... Ziggurats are mostly useful for early science.
Who was the first known god?

Like Zeus, Marduk is a sky god, and is of a younger generation of gods.... Similarly, since Hesiod's story tells the tale of Zeus' triumph, we can assume he intended the Theogony to serve not only as a creation myth but also a form of praise and honor to Zeus, the Greek king of the gods.
Is Marduk a demon?
Like many other ancient deities, Marduk was one of the earliest pagan god and the child of Enki and Damgalnuna. He would eventually battle the ancient monster Tiamat, becoming one of the many storm gods of the Chaoskampf, similar to Zeus, Thor, Hadad, Perun, Indra, Susanoo, and Tezcatlipoca.
Did Mesopotamians invent the wheel?
The wheel was invented in the 4th century BC in Lower Mesopotamia(modern-day Iraq), where the Sumerian people inserted rotating axles into solid discs of wood.... First, transport: the wheel began to be used on carts and battle chariots.
What is modern day ur called?
Ur, modern Tall al-Muqayyar or Tell el-Muqayyar, Iraq, important city of ancient southern Mesopotamia (Sumer), situated about 140 miles (225 km) southeast of the site of Babylon and about 10 miles (16 km) west of the present bed of the Euphrates River.
Are ziggurats still used today?
Though uncommon, the ziggurat is still used in architecture today.... Nowadays, ziggurats are chosen for aesthetic reasons. We can take, for instance, the well-known headquarters of the California DGS, an executive branch of California's government.

Students' success is the ultimate goal of any institution around the world. Early detection of at-risk students can facilitate the instructor or tutor to provide timely support to those at risk of failing the course. In a traditional face-to-face classroom, students can monitor learning patterns in routine interactions. However, teachers in the online classroom have limited information, compared with the face-to-face classroom, to detect students in trouble due to the lack of instance interactions between teachers and students. Particularly, such a problem has become worse than ever since 2020, as online teaching and learning are ubiquitous in the Post-COVID19 Era. In this work, we aim to predict if the student obtains a low course grade based on their behavioral patterns in continuous assessments, which are easy-to-retrieve attributes and available in most e-learning systems. We leverage the ratio of assessment grade to the time spent on the assessment as a useful feature in the machine-learning prediction framework. Experiments on real-world datasets indicate that such a ratio can improve the accuracy of detecting at-risk students.

This paper investigates whether people are equally irrational in finance and everyday decisions by examining the responses of a 20-question survey conducted at Pace University. Results from our data indicated that we could not conclude that people are more irrational in one area more than the other. People appear to be equally overconfident in both. Testing for frame versus substance, the second set of data; the t-test signifies that people are more irrational in their finance decisions than they are in their everyday decisions with more than 99% certainty. The third and final category of responses were tested for problem solving: in other words are people more rational in solving problems, such as "Montay Hall" questions, in finance or everyday. From the t-test results we were not able to conclude that people are more irrational in their finance decisions than they are in their everyday decisions. The test did however confirm previous research that people, given a second opportunity, usually do not choose to change their first response even if by calculating the probability it is the more rational decision. It seems reasonable to obtain different results for different decisions making traits. On the basis of these results we conclude that although people are irrational in general they may be more irrational in finance or everyday depending on the irrational behavior being examined.

Pre-Irradiation Grafting of Styrene into Modified Fluoropolymers
Authors
Abstract
Summary: The grafting of styrene into commercially available fluoropolymer films by the pre-irradiation method has been investigated. Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP), poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoropropylvinyl ether) (PFA) and poly(tetrafluorethylene-co-ethylene) (ETFE) were chosen as the base polymer material. The influence of the base material, the pre-irradiation dose, and the storage time between the irradiation and the grafting step on the yield of grafting was examined. The base materials were pre-treated by irradiation in the molten state under oxygen-free conditions in order to create branches and cross-links. The effect of pre-treatment on the yield of grafting was studied.

While reading about packages that allow to hook macros to certain events, I came across this command, \shipout. Searching on the internet didn't help a lot but if I'm not so wrong it's somehow related to creating new pages (or is it?).
My question is, what is exactly \shipout, what does it do and how it does what it does? (i.e. what is happening on the low-level in the background)

\shipout is apparently primitive, because \show\shipout produces > \shipout=\shipout. – Henri Menke Dec 27 '13 at 12:54

This is quite easy: \shipout is a primitive. Its syntax is
\shipout ⟨box⟩
where ⟨box⟩ is completely specified at page 278 of the TeXbook:
⟨box⟩ → \box⟨8-bit number⟩ | \copy⟨8-bit number⟩
 | \lastbox | \vsplit⟨8-bit number⟩ to ⟨dimen⟩
 | \hbox⟨box specification⟩{⟨horizontal mode material⟩}
 | \vbox⟨box specification⟩{⟨vertical mode material⟩}
 | \vtop⟨box specification⟩{⟨vertical mode material⟩}
⟨box specification⟩ → to ⟨dimen⟩⟨filler⟩ | spread ⟨dimen⟩⟨filler⟩ | ⟨filler⟩
One could, for example, say
\shipout\hbox{Hello world}
and one page in the DVI or PDF file will be created. Of course nobody wants to use \shipout this way. Its main usage is in the output routine that is called when TeX decides it has sufficient material for ejecting a full page. The current main vertical list is split at the chosen page break and its contents is packaged into \box255, which the output routine can act on. For example, the Plain TeX output routine does
so a full page, adorned with headers and footers is shipped out. The contents of \box255 is massaged by \pagebody. The output routine in LaTeX is much more complicated.
What one can do is redefining \shipout so it does other jobs. The oldest macro set that did something like this was quire.tex (still available on CTAN and TeX Live)
It saves the primitive meaning of \shipout in the command \q_oldship (the macros use _ as a 'private' marker) and redefines it to be \q_boat, which will do some jobs and eventually call \q_oldship. For instance it could be set up for placing two output pages on the same physical page, or for making sixteen page quires (whence the package name).
The package atbegshi does similarly. It redefines \shipout so that it can hook between the call of \shipout and the actual page ship out.
What precisely the primitive \shipout does is transforming the vertical list it's fed with into low level printing instructions (DVI or PDF format, according to the value of \pdfoutput if pdftex or luatex is used, XDV if xetex is used, only DVI for Knuth TeX). Meanwhile it executes all delayed \write operations, expanding tokens as it goes: in this way references to the page number are guaranteed to be correct, because they are computed when the page is being shipped out.

From TeXbook, Chapter 23: Output Routines, page 254:
TeX's primitive command \shipout is what actually causes output. It sends the contents of the box to the dvi file, which is TeX's main output file; after TeX has finished, the dvi file will contain a compact device-independent encoding of instructions that specify exactly what should be printed. When a box is shipped out, TeX displays the values of \count0 through \count9 on your terminal, as explained in Chapter 15; these ten counters are also recorded in the dvi file, where they can be used to identify the page. All of the \openout, \closeout, and \write commands that appear inside of the box are performed in their natural order as that box is being shipped out. Since a \write command expands macros, as explained in Chapter 21, TeX's scanning mechanism might detect syntax errors while a \shipout is in progress. If \tracingoutput is nonzero at the time of a \shipout, the contents of the box being shipped are written into your log file in symbolic form. You can say \shipout anywhere, not only in an output routine.

socks into your shoes.
Not only does this save space and help your shoes keep their shape, but it also makes up most of the space taken up by your socks.
Underwear is a small item, but it can still take up a lot of space in your suitcase. Instead of folding or rolling your underwear, try stuffing it into your shoes. This will help you save space and keep your shoes from getting squished. You can also use the mesh side of a packing cube to store your underwear and socks.
Another Small Items
In order to pack efficiently, you need to make use of every inch of space in your suitcase. The best way to do this is to pack small items, like underwear, socks, and accessories, into the small spaces between your shoes.
You can also pack these small items in a packing cube and place them on top of your shoes if you're worried about them getting dirty. This will help to keep your shoes in place and prevent them from moving around in your suitcase.
Utilize the Suitcase's Corners and Edges
The corners and edges of a suitcase are often the most underutilized space. But these areas are key to maximizing your packing potential.
Pack smaller items, like socks and underwear, in the corners of your suitcase. This will help you save space and keep your clothes organized.
You can also use the edges of your suitcase to pack smaller items, like belts and accessories. Incorporating these space-saving techniques is key to mastering how to efficiently pack shoes and clothes in a suitcase.
Important Things to Remember
- Ziploc bags are your best friend when packing shoes. They keep dirt and grime away from your clothes.
- If you are traveling with a carry-on, you can still pack your shoes and clothes similarly. Just remember to pack only what you need and to wear your heaviest shoes on the plane.
- When packing shoes, remember to pack them heel to toe. This will help you save space and keep your shoes from getting crushed.
It's so easy to overpack when you're going on a trip. You want to make sure you have all of your favorite pieces with you, but the truth is, you probably don't need all of them.
Take a look at the weather forecast for your destination and plan your outfits accordingly. Pack pieces that can be mixed and matched to create multiple looks, and don't forget to consider your shoes when planning your outfits.
Keep Valuable Items in Carry-on
You should always keep your most valuable items in your carry-on luggage. This includes your passport, wallet, money, electronics, and any other valuable items.
Prioritizing the packing of your essential items is crucial for understanding how to efficiently pack shoes and clothes in a suitcase.
This is especially important if you are checking your luggage, but we also recommend keeping your valuable items in your carry-on luggage if you are bringing a lot of luggage.
Leave Some Room for Souvenirs
You'll likely want to purchase some souvenirs on your trip. If you're traveling by plane, make sure you leave some room in your suitcase for them. If you're driving, you can always put them in a separate bag, but you should still leave some room in your suitcase for souvenirs you may purchase on the way.
Packing for a trip can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. With these tips and tricks, you can pack efficiently and quickly.
By choosing the right clothes, packing them properly, and using the right suitcase, you can make packing for a trip a breeze.
Don't let the packing process stress you out. With a little bit of planning and the right tools, you can make packing for a trip a quick and easy process.
Free packing cubes are a game changer. You can use them to pack your clothes based on category or outfit. They also help you keep your suitcase organized and maximize space.
I love using the free packing cubes I get from my favorite travel brands. Leveraging these free packing cubes is a fantastic strategy for mastering how to efficiently pack shoes and clothes in a suitcase.
I use one packing cube for my tops, one for my bottoms, and one for my pajamas. I also use a shoe bag to keep my shoes separate from my clothes. I also use a laundry bag to keep my dirty clothes separate from my clean clothes.
If you're not using packing cubes, you can roll your clothes to maximize space. Rolling your clothes also helps to prevent wrinkles. I like to roll my clothes and then place them in the packing cube. I use the same technique for my shoes. I place my shoes in a shoe bag, and then I roll the shoe bag.
Packing shoes and clothes in a suitcase seems like a simple task, but it can quickly become a nightmare if you don't have a plan. Use these tips to make the most of your suitcase space and keep your items organized.


Aerial Sockets
Aerial sockets, also known as TV sockets are wall-mounted outlets for coaxial connectors. They are most commonly used to provide a signal from a satellite (TV aerial) to a TV or FM. A coaxial cable is plugged into a TV and then the other end of the aerial cable is plugged into a socket to connect to the aerial.
Aerial sockets often come with a faceplate, also known as wall plate, which screws into the wall. Faceplates come in various materials, such as chrome or plastic, and provide a more aesthetic finish.
TV aerial sockets are often found around the home or workplace. You will often find a socket located where TV is to be fitted that requires a satellite signal.
What is a gang?
The number of gangs refers to the number of inputs that the wall socket has. For example, if the socket has "2 gangs" you can plug two coaxial cables into it. These cables are available in various lengths and feature a co-ax connector at each end.
How to connect to your aerial:
Aerial sockets are used when you have outdoor aerials that you wish to connect to. Aerial wall plates are fixed to the wall and you would connect your cable from your TV to the coaxial connector in the wall socket. These cables are available in various lengths to suit your requirements.
Your UHF aerial, for example, would feed into the back of the socket. The wiring from the aerial attaches to the board at the back of the aerial wall plate.
Connecting to your TV aerial provides access
Aerial Socket Connection Types:
TV socket
Radio (FM) socket
SAT (Satellite) socket

Gwent card art by Lorenzo Mastroianni
|White Rose of Shaerrawedd|
More than two hundred years before the events in Blood of Elves, Aelirenn, also known as the White Rose of Shaerrawedd and as Elirena among dwarves and humans, led a great number elven youth to their deaths, against the wishes of the elders, in a second battle against the humans.
Her image survives, carved in the stone of Shaerrawedd.
A book entitled "The Life and Death of the White Rose" tells her tale, and adds a glossary entry.
- The story of the one known as the White Rose of Shaerrawedd is both sad and tragic. Over two hundred years ago Aelirenn led elven youth into a hopeless fight against humans. This heroic dash could end in only one way. They died for freedom, for stone and marble of their cities... and for Aelirenn. Just as she promised, they died with dignity, heroism, honor, yet elves could not raise again after that defeat. However she remains a symbol of fighting for freedom to this day, and elven insurgents go to battle with her name on their lips.

Research is not a new concept to the Idaho Transportation Department. It's been fundamental to highway maintenance and construction almost since Idaho's highways first received hard surfaces.
A Feb. 18 Transporter story incorrectly introduced Matt Moore's as the department's first full-time Research Manager. Indeed, his appointment significantly expands the role research will play in all facets of ITD operations (beyond highway maintenance and construction) and will enhance the exchange of current information.
But, as several ITD veterans pointed out this week, the department has supported a full-time research position in the past. Bob Smith and Stephen Loop provide historical perspective:
"Jim Hill was the full-time Research Engineer, originally in the Materials and Research Bureau under Lief Erickson," writes Smith.
"Following Lief's retirement, the Research Section was downgraded and absorbed into the Materials Section. The Materials and Research Bureau was eliminated in favor of an Operations Bureau under (at that time) Don Cox. Prior to the creation of the Research Section, Lief was the primary proponent of Transportation Research. Much of the research at that time was done in-house."
"Prior to the Research Manager position being combined with the Assistant Materials Engineer position, the Research Manager position was a full-time position," Loop adds. "There was also a separate Research Section at that time.
"Jim Hill was the Research Manager and became the Research/Assistant Materials Engineer when the positions were combined and the Research Section was abolished. When Jim Hill retired, Bob Smith replaced him in the combined position. The previous Research Section, while smaller than the Planning Section, was on an equal footing with the Planning Section within the Bureau of Management and Planning."
Moore apparently has a solid legacy to build upon in his new position. His charge remains, however, to elevate research to a new level and improve access to information across ITD's many disciplines.
The lesson provided by Smith and Loop affirms the important role long-time employees serve in keeping ITD's history alive.

Why should you participate: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) forms one of the three main pillars ( apart from routine light microscopy & direct immunofluoroscence studies) which define the practice of Renal pathology. Several renal diseases cannot be diagnosed without ultrastructural analysis and others require EM studies for either confirmation or further insight in the disease process. Thus, it is recommended, most renal biopsies (including renal allograft biopsies) should also be subjected to EM examination, in addition to the light microscopic and immunofluorescence studies. This talk would highlight the role of transmission electron microscopy in the field of Renal Pathology and how it influences the clinical practice and decision making in the fields of Nephrology and Renal Transplantation.

Module Version: v0.2.11 Source
NAME ^
File::Find::Object - An object oriented File::Find replacement
SYNOPSIS ^
 use File::Find::Object;
 my $tree = File::Find::Object->new({}, @targets);
 while (my $r = $tree->next()) {
 print $r ."\n";
 }
DESCRIPTION ^
File::Find::Object does the same job as File::Find but works like an object and with an iterator. As File::Find is not object oriented, one cannot perform multiple searches in the same application. The second problem of File::Find is its file processing: after starting its main loop, one cannot easily wait for another event and so get the next result.
With File::Find::Object you can get the next file by calling the next() function, but setting a callback is still possible.
FUNCTIONS ^
new
 my $ffo = File::Find::Object->new( { options }, @targets);
Create a new File::Find::Object object. @targets is the list of directories or files which the object should explore.
options
depth
Boolean - returns the directory content before the directory itself.
nocrossfs
Boolean - doesn't continue on filesystems different than the parent.
followlink
Boolean - follow symlinks when they point to a directory.
You can safely set this option to true as File::Find::Object does not follow the link if it detects a loop.
filter
Function reference - should point to a function returning TRUE or FALSE. This function is called with the filename to filter, if the function return FALSE, the file is skipped.
callback
Function reference - should point to a function, which would be called each time a new file is returned. The function is called with the current filename as an argument.
next
Returns the next file found by the File::Find::Object. It returns undef once the scan is completed.
item
Returns the current filename found by the File::Find::Object object, i.e: the last value returned by next().
next_obj
Like next() only returns the result as a convenient File::Find::Object::Result object. $ff->next() is equivalent to $ff->next_obj()->path().
item_obj
Like item() only returns the result as a convenient File::Find::Object::Result object. $ff->item() is equivalent to $ff->item_obj()->path().
$ff->set_traverse_to([@children])
Sets the children to traverse to from the current node. Useful for pruning items to traverse.
$ff->prune()
Prunes the current directory. Equivalent to $ff->set_traverse_to([]).
[@children] = $ff->get_traverse_to()
Retrieves the children that will be traversed to.
[@files] = $ff->get_current_node_files_list()
Gets all the files that appear in the current directory. This value is constant for every node, and is useful to use as the basis of the argument for set_traverse_to().
BUGS ^
No bugs are known, but it doesn't mean there aren't any.
SEE ALSO ^
There's an article about this module in the Perl Advent Calendar of 2006: _URL_
File::Find is the core module for traversing files in perl, which has several limitations.
File::Next, File::Find::Iterator, File::Walker and the unmaintained File::FTS are alternatives to this module.

Are valuable British tourists on the way?
If the British start travelling overseas this summer, they could provide quite a springboard for Icelandic tourism. In 2019, nearly one of every eight foreign tourists in Iceland was from the UK. British tourists have smoothed out seasonal fluctuations in the tourism sector and tend to spend freely, although their stays are brief.
Yesterday the UK government introduced a dated plan for the relaxation of public health restrictions in England. Although the plan applies to England alone, other parts of the UK – Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – are likely to follow suit. The part of the plan that probably has the strongest short-run impact on the Icelandic economy centres on travel, with restrictions on international travel set to be eased significantly in mid-May, although the British prime minister stressed that the relaxation would be based on "data, not dates".
The COVID-19 pandemic has been receding rapidly in the UK recently, and inoculation efforts are proceeding apace. As of yesterday, over one-fourth of all Britons had received at least one shot. The share who have been fully inoculated is much smaller, however, at around 1%, as the UK is taking a different path than most other countries that have begun inoculating in earnest. By way of comparison, just over 3% of Icelanders have been fully inoculated, and about 5% have received at least one shot.
Booking engines rebooted
As the BBC reported on its website, the British public have welcomed the news about easing of restrictions, responding with a surge of bookings through UK travel agencies. It is worth remembering, however, that even if the UK authorities ease their own border restrictions, the question of how easily British travellers can enter other countries remains unanswered. The UK is no longer a member of the European Union (EU), of course, and unlike Iceland, it has never been part of the Schengen Area, which provides for open borders within Europe. As a result, it is not covered by the EU's harmonised travel guidelines and the guidance issued by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, on which the colour-coding scheme for COVID risk is based. Even so, we think it likely that both sides will exert significant pressure to grease the wheels of travel between the UK and other European countries over the course of this year, and we in Iceland will reap the benefits of Schengen participation and EEA membership in this respect.
The importance of British tourists
The recent reports from the UK are good news for the Icelandic tourism industry, irrespective of the aforementioned uncertainties. Although surveys taken in our key market areas suggest that appetite for travel is still strong and that European people are generally willing to make travel plans at much shorter notice than before, there has been little solid information on when such travel can resume with minimal inconvenience at national borders. The news from the UK shows that greater certainty about the border situation encourages many would-be travellers to go ahead and book trips abroad.
But how much could this easing in the UK affect tourism in Iceland?
According to data from the Icelandic Tourist Board, some 262,000 British tourists visited Iceland in 2019, or just over 13% of the total for the year. Only the US, at 23%, accounted for a larger share of visitors in 2019. The UK percentage rose steadily in the early part of the 2010s but then tapered off as the number of travellers from North America and Asia increased during the years just before the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the importance of British travellers for Iceland's tourism sector is in some respects greater than these numbers suggest. For instance, British visitors bought some 16% of all hotel bed-nights in domestic hotels in 2019.
In addition, British visitors exhibit different travel patterns and behaviour than travellers from other market areas do. Britons' visits to Iceland have been spread much more evenly over the year, for instance: a full ¾ of their trips to Iceland in 2019 took place outside the peak season; i.e., the first four months and the last three months of the year. Because of this, they play an important role in smoothing out the seasonal peaks and valleys in Icelandic tourism, and they generate off-peak revenues for hotels, restaurants, and recreation providers.
On average, British tourists spend a shorter time in Iceland than others do – 5 nights as opposed to the 6.6-night average for all tourists combined. This shorter stay goes hand-in-hand with the larger share of wintertime trips, as people's free time is generally more limited in the winter, with long weekends often taking the place of stays of a week or more.
Furthermore, Britons have generally spent more per day in Iceland than the average tourist does. In 2018, for example, average spending among British travellers in Iceland came to just over ISK 37,000 per day, and of the countries most heavily represented among visitors to Iceland in recent years, only American and Chinese visitors spent more.
Britons could prove a windfall next winter
In 2019, revenues from foreign tourists totalled ISK 470bn, including an estimated ISK 50bn from British wallets, based on the aforementioned figures on length of stay and daily spending. Thus it is very important for revenues and overall activity in the tourism industry that Britons resume their travel to Iceland sooner rather than later. But it takes two to tango, as the saying goes, and assuming that the UK authorities' plans to ease border restrictions in May actually materialise – which in turn depends on the pandemic itself and the progress made with inoculations in Iceland and abroad – we think there is reason to be optimistic that British tourists will start coming to Iceland in greater numbers later this year. In particular, they could provide a real boost to tourism in Q4/2021 and Q1/2022 if they resume their established winter travel pattern.
One of the main assumptions underlying our recent macroeconomic forecast is that 700,000 tourists will visit Iceland this year. In that forecast, we projected that the Nordic countries and the western part of mainland Europe (Germany, France, etc.) would account for the lion's share of summer visitors but that British tourists would arrive in greater numbers as the year advanced. It could take longer, however, for American and Canadian tourists to arrive, and longer still for visitors from Asia. The latest news from the UK reinforces our opinion. Hopefully, other European countries, as well as the US and Canada, will prepare and publish similar plans in the weeks and months to come, as reducing uncertainty about travel restrictions is exceedingly important for the tourism sector – and, by extension, for the economy as a whole.
