Version
2023.2 English
x86simulator requires VALGRIND_HOME, VALGRIND_LIB, and PATH environmental variables to be configured per your host computer configuration. Exit out of the Vitis IDE, and set up the following environmental variables and relaunch the Vitis IDE. For example:
export PATH=<Install_Path>/valgrind/3.16.1/:$PATH
export VALGRIND_HOME=<Install_Path>/valgrind/3.16.1/
export VALGRIND_LIB=<Install_Path>valgrind/3.16.1/lib/
 1. After relaunching the Vitis IDE tool, either by enabling the Valgrind option in the launch configuration settings or by updating the configuration file, $(COMPONENT_NAME)/Output/x86sim/Work/options/x86sim.options.
 2. Run x86simulation by selecting the Run option under X86SIMULATION in Flow navigator..
 3. With no violations in the kernel code, the valgrind messages looks similar to the following in the console:
 x86simulator --pkg-dir=./Work --i=.. --valgrind
 It is recommended to use Valgrind version 3.14.0 or higher.

National Reconciliation Week 2003
Journey of Healing 2003: Healing the past, shaping the future
National Sorry Day - May 26
National Reconciliation Week /
Week of Prayer for Reconciliation
May 27 to June 3
National Sorry Day is an important part of the Journey of Healing for both indigenous and non-indigenous people and commemorates the Stolen Generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families. In 1997 the Bringing Them Home report revealed the immense harm done.
Week of Prayer for Reconciliation is linked with National Reconciliation Week and always occurs between May 27 and June 3. These dates are significant. May 27 marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum in which 92% of Australians voted to include Aboriginal people in the reckoning of the census. June 3 marks the anniversary of the High Court's judgement in the Mabo case in 1992, which recognised Native Title rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their lands.
For Prayer and Reflection
Poster available on National Council of Churches website: _URL_
Meaning of the Poster:
Whiteman came to this country in their ships, with their guns.
The Blackman had no answers.
They were poisoned, shot, hung and put in chains as punishment.
Then along came religion, Christianity.
The Bible was read at campsites by whitemen and later black and white.
Now we walk side by side burning bridges of the past.
The chains of the past are broken,
and black and white walk on equal ground through this rugged, wide land – their spirit finally freed through Christianity.
Prayer for the Journey of Healing
Almighty and loving God,
You who created all people in your image,
Lead us to seek your compassion as we listen to the stories of our past.
You gave your only Son, Jesus,
who died and rose again so that sins will be forgiven.
We place before you the pain and anguish of dispossession
of land, language, lore, culture and family kinship
that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have experienced.
We live in faith
that all people will rise from the depths of despair and hopelessness.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families
have endured the pain and loss of loved ones,
through the separation of children from their families.
We are sorry and ask God's forgiveness.
Touch the hearts of the broken, homeless and inflicted and heal their spirits.
In your mercy and compassion
walk with us as we continue our journey of healing
to create a future that is just and equitable.
Lord, you are our hope. Amen.
© Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Commission
National Council of Churches in Australia. 2003.
Prayer for Reconciliation (ACSJC Prayer Card)
In the midst of conflict and division,
We know it is you who turns our minds to thoughts of peace.
Your Spirit changes our hearts:
Enemies begin to speak to one another,
Those who were estranged join hands in friendship,
And nations seek the way of peace together.
Let your Spirit be at work in us.
Give us understanding and put an end to strife,
Fill us with mercy and overcome our denial,
Grant us wisdom and teach us to learn
From the people of the land,
Call us to justice. Amen.
The impetus and enthusiasm of the movement for Aboriginal reconciliation, at both grass roots and national levels, have diminished since the halcyon days of Corroboree 2000 in this city. That is perhaps scarcely surprising in an environment where, as a nation, we seem to be losing our way. Standards seem increasingly to be determined by opinion polls rather than principle. Pejorative labeling and calculated demonization even of genuine refugees, including children, seem to enjoy a disturbing degree of public acceptance.
The basis of the national movement for reconciliation must lie in principle; in the basic honesty to acknowledge the fact that the oppression and injustice to which indigenous Australians were subjected in their land under our Federation were not merely the acts of individuals who are long since dead. They were the acts of the nation itself of which all living Australians are a part. And in the basic justice of acceptance of the fact that past oppression and injustice remain part of the very fabric of our country. They reach from the past to blight the present and to demand national apology, redress of disadvantage, and reconciliation.

Helllo i just got a firestorm black and decker 10 inch mitre saw off one of my buddies for free because he upgraded. I was looking at some videos (none for this saw) and i couldn't figure out how to get the blade off. i put a wrench on the nut and turned clockwise but i don't know if it a clockwise or counter clockwise nut can anybody help? (Black and Decker firestorm 10" mitre saw)
If the model number is correct, or even close to it, this may be useful for you:
Firestorm FS100L miter saw manual
From that link, I found this set of images that are sure to be useful:
blade change pictures
A bit more digging in the manual shows this text:
 1. Remove screw (A) Fig. 41 and rotate cover (B) to the rear (Fig. 42).
 2. To remove the saw blade, insert the hex wrench (C) Fig. 43 into the hex hole located on the rear end of the motor shaft to keep the shaft from turning.
 3. Use a wrench (D) Fig. 44 to loosen the arbor screw (E) by turning it clockwise.
 4. Remove the arbor screw (E) Fig. 44, the outside blade flange (B), and the saw blade from the saw arbor.
 5. Attach the new saw blade making certain that the teeth of the saw blade are pointing down (Fig. 44). Place the outside blade flange (F) on the arbor, and attach the arbor screw (E) by turning it counter-clockwise using the wrench (D). At the same time, use the hex wrench (C) Fig. 43 to keep the arbor from turning.
 6. Rotate the cover back to the front and replace the screw that was removed in STEP 1.
WARNING:Remove wrenches (C) Fig. 43 and (D) Fig. 44 before starting machine.
Step 3 confirms reverse thread on the bolt holding the blade, turn clockwise (analog, not digital) to loosen.

 - that last warning is priceless! – agentp Jan 7 '18 at 2:48
 - Turning right or left would depend on if the handle is at 12 o'clock position or 6 o'clock position that's why we use cw & ccw. Other than that it is a good answer. – Ed Beal Jan 7 '18 at 12:16
Easy to remember I think, you loosen the screw turning in the blade's cutting direction. Typically clockwise for miter saws and counter clockwise for hand held circular saws. They need to be that way so the motor doesn't tend to loosen the screw while cutting.

What I don't understand is why we need properties as yet another layer of
polymorphism enabling pseudo OO-Perl? Why not use the "everything is an
object" paradigm and say that variable and value objects have default
"property" methods that can be called and/or overridden? Hell, why not do
tying by overloading default variable methods while we're at it? Or make
magic accessible to mere demigods by providing something akin to
What is UNIVERSAL::can($foo, 'new') going to return if there is a variable
and/or value property 'new' set on $foo?
Blurring properties and object methods screws with "\L$object" "\u$class"
method vs. "\L$built" "\u$user" property naming conventions.
To my knowledge, no one has yet proposed how you can clear a user-defined
property on a value?


What Is The Hardest Grade Of A Pencil?
What does 2 HB mean on a pencil?
These pencils are soft.
H stands for "hard".
F stands for "firm"..
Do Number 1 pencils exist?
Are No 2 pencils HB?
What is the best HB pencil?
What Are the Best Pencils for Students?Dixon Ticonderoga Wood-Cased #4 Extra Hard Pencils, Box of 12. … Viarco Desenho 250 Pencil — H. … Palomino Blackwing 602 Pencils, 12-Pack. … Staedtler Mars Lumograph Graphite Pencil Set, Set of 12. … Faber-Castell 9000 Graphite Sketch Pencil Set, Set of 12.More items…•
Which lead is darker HB or 2b?
What is the hardness scale for pencils?
The 'H' stands for hardness, the 'B' stands for blackness, and HB is for hard and black pencils. The hardest is a 10H, followed by 9H, 8H, 7H, 6H, 5H, 4H, 3H, 2H, and H. F is the middle of the hardness scale; then comes HB, B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, and 9B, which is the softest.
Which is darker H or HB?
Which HB pencil is the darkest?
Did pencils ever have lead?
Despite the name, they have never been made of lead. … Lead pencils contain graphite (a form of carbon), not lead. In fact, contrary to what many people believe, lead pencils never were made with lead. The ancient Romans used a writing device called a stylus.
Which is softer HB or 2b?
Which is darker 2b or 4b?
Which is thicker.5 or.7 lead?
If it's for school writing, use 0.5mm or 0.7mm leads, depending on which you prefer. The 0.7mm leads are thicker, which is better for people who tend to press hard on the pencil when writing. For drawing,use 0.5mm leads, because they're more precise than the 0.7mm leads.
Why is a carpenter's pencil flat?
A carpenter pencil (carpentry pencil, carpenter's pencil) is a pencil that has a body with a rectangular or elliptical cross-section to prevent it from rolling away. Carpenter pencils are easier to grip than standard pencils, because they have a larger surface area. … The flat pencil is one of the oldest pencil types.
Is No 2 pencil same as 2b?
What is the easiest pencil to erase?
How many grades of pencils are there?
The first thing to know is that there are two pencil grading scales: the American system that goes from #1 to #4, and the international system that goes from 10B to 10H.

Researcher Levan Martineau found his first keys to breaking the code by using locator panels. Locators are smaller panels that either direct passers-by to a hidden or out of the way panel, or identify the location of a hidden waterhole, underground cavern or other important location. The first locator symbols deciphered by Martineau are shown below. (The following chart was adapted from Levan Martineau (1973) The Rocks Begin to Speak, KC Publications).

This machine is used for opening raw fibre bales. The main characteristics of the Cretes pre-opener are the high capacities that can be achieved and the robust design.
The machine opens the material in a rough way and this to make it lighter for downstream processes.
Its capacity is 3 to 9 tons/h (with a material density of 150 kg/m³) depending on the density and condition of the straw to process. The ideal straw length ranges from an average of 400mm to 600mm. Longer fibres must be cut beforehand, for example with a HAK guillotine cutter.
The straw to be treated (in bales or as bulk) is brought to the infeed conveyor by means of a storage conveyor. The material is opened between two rotating drums equipped with spikes. The lower drive drum spreads the material and the distributor drum on top opens or slows down the straw. Both drums can be equipped with different types of spikes.

text: Tahoe City Public Utility District is proposing the Madden Creek Water System Infrastructure Improvement Project to update the recently acquired Madden Creek Water System, which serves the community of Homewood along the west shore of Lake Tahoe. The system provides 175 service connections for residential, commercial, and landscape irrigation customers as well as fire protection services. Project work includes new and replacement water mains, new fire hydrants, new service meters, and water service lateral replacements. The existing water system consists of a supply source (one groundwater well), approximately 3.5 miles of water distribution mains, water storage (one tank), and approximately 175 service connections, most of which are unmetered. The project improvements include water main replacement and water service improvements that would help to mitigate deficiencies, increase system reliability, and address condition related issues. The Madden Creek Water Master Plan identified individual components to improve the state and condition of the current system, as follows: water meter installations to decrease per connection water demand, replacing pipelines with diameters less than 6 inches with 8-inch pipelines to increase capacity and reliability, replacing existing transmission mains with 12-inch diameter pipes to reduce head loss through the system during a fire flow event and directly increase the capacity, and installing new 8-inch pipelines to loop dead-end water mains and reduce system losses.

What triggers xenophobic violence in South Africa? By answering this deceivingly simple but critical question, this paper high – lights an often-missed empirical factor and key element in the xenophobic violence causal chain: mobilization. Drawing from extensive, comparative empirical data and global literature, the paper argues that, while macro and micro-level socio-economic and political circumstances are important elements in heightening tensions and creating collective discontent, anger and resentment towards foreign nationals, it is the mobilization of this discontent and not the discontent itself that triggers xenophobic attacks in locations where they occur. Mobilization is the vital connective tissue between discontent and xenophobic violence. Local violence entrepreneurs use well-known mobilization techniques, including haranguing and parochial patronage, to stir crowds into targeted and well-organized violent attacks of foreign nationals in South Africa. While this argument is in line with existing theoretical approaches that emphasize mobilization as a key causal factor in the occurrence of collective violence, the paper provides useful solid empirical backing these still hesitant approaches require to consolidate their explanatory value and efficacy.

ANSI Common Lisp 3 Evaluation and Compilation 3.3 Declarations
3.3.4 Declaration ScopeDeclarations can be divided into two kinds: those that apply to the bindings of variables or functions; and those that do not apply to bindings.
A declaration that appears at the head of a binding form and applies to a variable or function binding made by that form is called a bound declaration; such a declaration affects both the binding and any references within the scope of the declaration.
A free declaration in a form F1 that applies to a binding for a name N established by some form F2 of which F1 is a subform affects only references to N within F1; it does not to apply to other references to N outside of F1, nor does it affect the manner in which the binding of N by F2 is established.
The scope of a bound declaration is the same as the lexical scope of the binding to which it applies; for special variables, this means the scope that the binding would have had had it been a lexical binding.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the scope of a free declaration includes only the body subforms of the form at whose head it appears, and no other subforms. The scope of free declarations specifically does not include initialization forms for bindings established by the form containing the declarations.
Some iteration forms include step, end-test, or result subforms that are also included in the scope of declarations that appear in the iteration form. Specifically, the iteration forms and subforms involved are:


Rules for Fortress
Family: Fortress
Categories: Thinker's
Variants: Chessboard, Beleaguered Castle, Streets and Alleys
Also Known As:
Fortress is one of a fascinating group of games in which no cards are ever hidden. The entire deck is laid out, face up and visible, at the start of the game.
Shuffle the deck and lay out all the cards in ten tableau piles. Each tableau pile fans sideways, with all cards face up and visible. Arrange the tableaus in two columns or "wings" of five piles each, one wing on the left and one on the right, with a vertical column of four foundations in between them. The top tableau of each wing starts with six cards; the others with five each. The foundations start out empty.
Top cards of tableaus are available for building on each other, either up or down in suit. Aces may be played to the foundations, which build up in suit. Empty tableau piles may be filled with any available card.
The goal is to move all the cards onto the foundations.
You should create and keep an empty tableau pile as soon as you can. Use it as a "way station" to move a build from its original pile to a third, destination pile. Peel the build off its original pile into the empty pile, then peel it off the empty pile and onto the destination pile.

This is an old revision of HeritageWrittle from 2010-01-04 09:46:18.
Writtle has been a favoured place to live since the Stone Age some 6000 years ago. Since then there are many signs that Bronze Age and Iron Age people lived in the Parish. The Romans also lived in Writtle, as seen in the artefacts, roads and buildings that they left behind, and are just being rediscovered by Heritage Writtle.
Writtle was a large town of over a thousand in the Doomsday book of 1086, whilst Chelmsford the nearby County Town, was a mere 20 souls. The site of a royal hunting lodge in King John's reign can be seen in the Writtle College grounds, along with a tithe barn built about 1500. Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland was probably born in the Village. Judging by the number of large timber framed houses in the Parish, Writtle was an important, wealthy place in the Medieval & Tudor periods. Latterly Writtle's claim to fame is that Marconi started the first regular radio broadcasts from a small hut in Writtle in 1922, with the call sign 2MT (two-emma-toc).
Heritage Writtle is an enthusiastic group with 30 members who come from nearly as many different disciplines. They are delving into Writtle's past, through the archived records and by excavation in cooperation with local landowners and the Essex County Council and Chelmsford Borough Council specialists.

On JDBC based project, JDBC connection can be mocked, so that tests can be executed without live RDBMS, with each test case isolated (no data conflict).
It allow to verify, persistence code passes proper queries/parameters (e.g. _URL_ and handle JDBC results (parsing/mapping) as expected ("takes in all the necessary bits and pieces to extract some data from the database, and returns the data in a DataTable object").

For details of the survey refer to:
Wilkes Station on Clark Peninsula was built by the United States in 1957 and Australia took custody of the station in 1959.
Wilkes Station is now almost permanently frozen in ice and is only occasionally revealed during a big thaw every four or five years. Many objects remain embedded in the ice.
The condition of the buildings has deteriorated since the site was abandoned in 1969 and repairs are necessary for the survival of the structures. What remains at Wilkes are a number of barracks buildings known as 'Clements' huts, and the remnants of the semi-cylindrical canvas store buildings known as 'Jamesway' huts.
More heritage/archaeological surveys are required for a more complete understanding.

Can Coparcenary Property Be Sold?
Can mother make a will on ancestral property?
2017 Yes challenge the Will.
Will an individual can make for his or her sole self owned property or share in the property not the whole property if that has other owners or shareholders like ancestral property..
Is it true that ancestral property once divided becomes self acquired?
The prerequisite of an ancestral property is that an ancestral property should not have been divided or partitioned by the family members, as once a division of the ancestral property takes place, the share or portion which each coparcener gets after division becomes his or her self acquired property.
Who is a Coparcener?
A coparcener is a person who acquires interest in the joint family property by birth. The essential difference between a 'coparcener' and a 'member' of an HUF is that a coparcener can enforce partition of the HUF, while a member cannot.
What constitutes ancestral property?
Concept of Ancestral Property Property inherited by a Hindu from his father, father's father or father's fathers' father, is ancestral property. Any property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.
Does Mother property belong to daughter?
The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, was amended in 2005 to give daughters an equal share in parental property. … However, it is important to note that if the father died before 2005, a married daughter will not have any right over ancestral property, while the self-acquired property will be distributed as per the will.
Can ancestral property be sold?
What is the difference between ancestral property and Coparcenary property?
A property is ancestral when acquired through inheritance from ancestors, this property is always shared by members of a coparcenary equally. On the other hand property is self acquired if it is earned by own efforts/learning or other human endeavour.
Is widow a Coparcener?
According to Mitakshara law, only a coparcener can be a karta or manager of an HUF. Therefore, since a Hindu widow is a member of the HUF but not a coparcener, she cannot be a karta of in her husband's HUF.
Does daughters have equal rights in father's property?
Supreme Court rules that daughters have equal rights in their father's property. In its decision, the Supreme Court clarified two points: coparcenary rights are acquired by daughters on their birth; and. fathers need not have been alive when the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act 1956 was passed.
How ancestral property is divided?
Under the Hindu law, property is divided into two types: ancestral and self-acquired. Ancestral property is defined as one that is inherited up to four generations of male lineage and should have remained undivided throughout this period. … By birth, a daughter has a share in the ancestral property.
Which property is Coparcenary?
A coparcenary consists of a 'propositus', that is, a person at the top of a line of descent, and his three lineal descendants — sons, grandsons and great-grandsons. Coparcenary property is named thus because the co-ownership is marked by "unity of possession, title and interest".
Can a father gives all his property to one child?
A father cannot freely give the ancestral property to one son. In Hindu law, the ancestral property can be gifted only under certain situations like distress or for pious reasons. Otherwise, the ancestral property cannot be given away to one child to the exclusion of all others.

Can We Predict Student Success in Agricultural Economics Graduate Programs?
Criteria for admission to graduate programs are used by departments and graduate schools to identify characteristics assumed to be associated with â€œsuccessâ€ . They allow for more uniformity in student ability and preparation so graduate education is more efficient. This study analyzes the relationship between selected student characteristics and experience and two proxies for â€œsuccessâ€ â€"graduate GPA and the probability of completing an Agricultural Economics graduate program. Data are from past students in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Texas Tech University. Statistical differences among the means of student characteristics were evaluated, a regression model was estimated to predict graduate GPA, and a logistical regression was estimated to examine the probability of not completing a graduate program. Results show some difference in characteristics between those who complete and do not complete. Graduate GPA is significantly related to citizenship, degree program, quantitative GRE score, and previous program GPA. However, only above-average prior GPA and existence of financial assistance are significantly related to the probability of nor completing a graduate program.

The spiral tube water wheel pump was designed by laboratory staff in 1979 specifically to use energy flowing in canal water to pump water under pressure to a higher point where it could be used for domestic use. Blair Research Staff have subsequently built wheels ranging in size from 0.5m in diameter to 4 meters in diameter. The photo shows a 4m diameter wheel being constructed. Although this pump was specifically designed to work in irrigation canals, water wheels of this type have been constructed in riverine conditions.
Wheels of this type have now been in operation in Zimbabwe for 5 years and have provided very reliable service. The water pump itself consists of a spiral tube designed without valves. The 4 meter diameter wheel shown in the picture was fitted at Mazowe in 1979 into the main irrigation canal supplying the Citrus Estate. Readings taken in October 1979 showed that the wheel pumped 3697 liters of water per hour to a height of 8 meters above the canal (88 cu.m. per day). The canal width was 1.93 meters and the water flow ratein the canal was 1 m/sec. The wheel was made with 16 paddles each being 600mm x 600mm in area. Two coil pumps were mounted on the wheel in horizontally opposed positions. Each pump consisted of 3 coils of 50mm diameter pipe. The wheel performed 3.21 revs. per minute whilst pumping water to 8 meters. The output of the same wheel was remeasured in 1983 and remained unchanged.

Not so cheap talk: a model of advice with communication costs
Hertel, Jo and Smith, John (2009): Not so cheap talk: a model of advice with communication costs.
Download (189kB) | Preview
We model a game similar to the interaction between an academic advisor and advisee. Like the classic cheap talk setup, an informed player sends information to an uninformed receiver who is to take an action which affects the payoffs of both sender and receiver. However, unlike the classic cheap talk setup, the preferences regarding the receiver's actions are identical for both sender and receiver. Additionally, the sender incurs a communication cost which is increasing in the complexity of the message sent. We characterize the resulting equilibria. Under an additional out-of-equilibrium condition (Condition L), if preferences for sender and receiver are identical then the only equilibria are the most informative, feasible ones. A similar result appears in Chen, Kartik and Sobel (2008) when their No Incentive to Separate (NITS) condition is applied to the case where communication is costless but preferences diverge. Additionally, we model the competency of the advisee by the probability that the action is selected by mistake. We show that the informativeness of the sender is decreasing in the likelihood of the mistake. When the preferences between players diverge and when there are communication costs, we are not guaranteed uniqueness and we provide an example where an increase in communication costs can improve communication.

Cement siding is typically constructed from fiberboard cement. This siding is made up of cement mixed with other materials to make it more lightweight and flexible. Attaching outdoor lighting to cement siding is slightly more difficult than attaching light fixtures to wood or other softer materials, but it is similar to the process for attaching fixtures to brick. To support the weight of the fixture, the screws must be anchored into the siding. Use screws between 1 and 3 inches long, depending on the thickness of the cement siding.
Choose a concrete anchor that is a size smaller than the holes in the mounting plate. For a 1/2-inch mounting plate hole, use a 3/8-inch concrete anchor.
Place the mounting plate against the piece of siding where you want to install the fixture. Mark the placement of all mounting holes with a marker or pencil.
Put on safety goggles. Drill through the marked areas on the cement siding equaling the same depth as the concrete anchors. Screw the concrete anchors into the drilled holes in the cement siding.
Place the mounting plate back over the cement siding. Pull any necessary wires through the hole in the plate so that you can attach the fixture and operate it properly. Screw the plate into place with concrete screws and a power screwdriver. Screw all screws in lightly, then tighten them fully after all screws are in place. This will help align the mounting plate correctly.
Connect the fixture to the wires, then attach it to the mounting plate.


text: Voice conversion (VC) is an effective approach to electrolaryngeal (EL) speech enhancement, a task that aims to improve the quality of the artificial voice from an electrolarynx device. In frame-based VC methods, time alignment needs to be performed prior to model training, and the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm is widely adopted to compute the best time alignment between each utterance pair. The validity is based on the assumption that the same phonemes of the speakers have similar features and can be mapped by measuring a pre-defined distance between speech frames of the source and the target. However, the special characteristics of the EL speech can break the assumption, resulting in a sub-optimal DTW alignment. In this work, we propose to use lip images for time alignment, as we assume that the lip movements of laryngectomee remain normal compared to healthy people. We investigate two naive lip representations and distance metrics, and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly outperform the audio-only alignment in terms of objective and subjective evaluations.

Design research project and 1 month workshop created by:
Ece Canlı, Ceylan Uşakierali, Levent Yücel, Kerem Erdem Göç, Merve Kurt, Serkan Aka, Bilal Yılmaz
in collaboration with TOG (Community Volunteer Foundation)
9 August-5 September 2008
This long term design research project that resulted in one-month long intense workshop located in a camping area with non-designer participants from all over the country. The project aimed
– to alternatively criticise consumption culture,
– to see daily used objects from a different perspective; to recognise our daily needs and suggest acceptable solutions from a design viewpoint,
– to question our basic/primary needs by living in a camping area without any electronic device or appliances,
– to produce fundamental objects with ecological and found materials that would the needs in question,
– to engage with the local producers, discussing about participating local production; to utilise their local production techniques and materials,
– to encourage participants (as the volunteers of TOG) to take the new techniques they learnt to initiate new projects in their hometowns/regions based on their new knowledge and experiences to keep the project sustainable in long-term.
In the workshop, there were 40 participants (20 per each two-week period) who were studying at different universities in different programs all across Turkey and not acquainted with any design thinking or making practice, yet concerned with the production and consumption culture of contemporary Turkey—and the world in a larger scale. The workshop as a pilot implementation took place in a camping area, in a coastal village called İğneada at the northwest part of Turkey. During the camp, only tents were provided; the rest were expected to be set up and produced by participants. The working plan went as following:
– discussion sessions on consumption culture, our basic needs; ancient, local and mass productions,
– simulation games that aimed to enable participants to conceive main ideas,
– workshops for production sessions,
– fieldworks that aimed to connect with local producers, and needs and resources of the region better,
– brainstorming for design solutions,
– project development and presentations phase by participants
Elaborating on their basic needs, participants produced several objects and came up with minor system solutions (i.e. shower, cushions, lighting units, dressing cabin, kitchen, freezer etc.). Then, they produced other objects (i.e. ornaments, recycled papers, bags, wallets, earrings, necklaces etc.) by taking their secondary needs into consideration, including artistic creations.
Apart from the production process, one of the most important aspects of the project was fieldworks in the village. There were several phases of this part such as interviews with local community, investigations on local productions, materials and recycling techniques and workshops with local female producers. It also included lectures and guidance provided by the guest eco-designer Katell Gelebart who transmitted knowledge of hand-manufacturing with recycled materials such as plastic bags, tires, newspapers and such.

Sub-classing NumArray - two questions

numarray is a package which is under development and intended to replace
Numeric, an efficient and operational package.
One of the classes in numarray is NumArray. As currently implemented,
instances of this class are instantiated using factory functions. This
appears to restrict the sub-classing of NumArray
Examples: a sub-class Matrix, an array restricted to two dimensions, or
a sub-class Mix, which combines the NumArray with RecArray (another
class in the numarray package), or even a sub-class of matrix, Symmetric
(to use more efficient storage)
These cannot readily be built using factory functions. This has been
discussed on the NumPy list
(_URL_ and the
question was posed:
Q1
Can someone please explain what the "new-classes standard" is?
(Obviously meeting it is not one of our current goals)
Another related question:
Q2
It seems that certain flaws were perceived in Numeric (NumPy),
developed in 1997 by Jim Hugunin. Development of numarray was
started to produce an array package which could become a standard
Python package. What were the flaws seen in Numeric?
Colin W.
Background from the NumPY list:
Regarding the "new-classes standard", I can't find much in either the
Python docs or Alex Martelli's "Python in a Nutshell". One of the new
features is a __new__ constructor.
The Python array module doesn't formally have a class and thus it can't
be sub-classed. It uses a factory function to create instance objects.
Martelli, in PIAN p74, writes of factory functions being useful when one
wishes to create instances of different classes depending on some
condition or for the reuse of an existing instance.
In the Python Cookbook p173, he proposes the use of a factory function
to get around the limitations of Python 2.1 and earlier. On page 179,
he refers to the use of a factory method, again to work around
limitations before Python 2.2.
My rough and ready definition would include the ability to create an
instance and initialize
the data in one step.

I noticed that with the new messages' feature, chat messages seem to be archived (or at least those chat messages sent after activating the new platform). How does one tell the difference between one that was sent via chat window (at the bottom) versus the message inbox.
My current way to sort is by emoticons since friends tend to make emoticons more frequently than a message sent from the Inbox.

It kind of works like in Google Wave. If you're both online then if your friend sends you a message, you get a chat conversation and it is archived in your inbox. Regardless of where the message was composed, if both of you are online on chat then the recipient would receive it in the chatbox and the inbox. If one of you is offline, then it would go straight to the inbox.

Film and Glass Slides
There are basically two types of slides, those on glass and the film slides we have today.
While copies can be made of both types of slides, the image quality will not be the same as the original because it is a duplicate.
Glass slides are often confused with glass negatives, but two important differences exist. Also called lantern slides, glass slides, are a positive image and a standard size. The positive image on each lantern slide is sandwiched between two pieces of glass. These slides include a paper mount and taped-sealed edges. Glass negatives come in a variety of sizes and are negative images.
Lantern slides remained popular from 1850 until approximately 1950 and these slides are still used today in many academic disciplines. The introduction of inexpensive film slides in the 1950s replaced them.
Contemporary slides consist of the image and a mount.
There are three types of mounts currently available.
Guidelines for handling slides and for storage can be found in my book. Or, feel free to email me.

"The sutras, the shastras, and our teachings have such wealth on how to assist people and how to help them make their minds resilient and their emotions manageable.
We Buddhists already have our path—we have view, we have meditation, we have structure. But there are a lot of people who don't have any of this, and they might need some assistance in making their emotions manageable and their minds resilient."
— Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
Khyentse Foundation Trisong Grants aim to identify and support organizations and individuals who are working to promote mental well-being and resilience in the world and to help Buddhist wisdom reach new audiences. This grant supports people or programs that are connected to Buddhist views, values, and practices. Unlike Khyentse Foundation Ashoka Grants, Trisong Grant projects do not need to be expressly Buddhist, but only based in Buddhist wisdom or practice. We welcome all forms of skillful means and encourage innovative and creative presentations and approaches. Applications may include art, music, theater, dance, performance, multimedia, mental health apps, or other creative ideas. Applications that use traditional healing methods, psychoanalysis, therapy, or related medical treatments are also welcome.
Applications for support may include projects related to depression and anxiety, substance abuse and addiction, prison outreach, end of life care or hospice, mental illness, and work in spiritual caregiving and pastoral counseling.
Applications are reviewed by a committee of mental health and resilience professionals.
The committee reviews applications quarterly, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, but you may apply at any time. Applicants will be notified of decisions within three months of the quarterly review dates.
Trisong Grant awards are generally in the $5,000 range, and occasionally more, depending on the scope and needs of the project.

Here we report four post-synthetic modifications, including the first ever example of a high pressure-induced post-synthetic modification, of a porous copper-based metal-organic framework. Ligand exchange with a water ligand at the axial metal site occurs with methanol, acetonitrile, methylamine and ethylamine within a single-crystal and without the need to expose a free metal site prior to modification, resulting in significant changes in the pore size, shape and functionality. Pressure experiments carried out using isopropylalcohol and acetaldehyde, however, results in no ligand exchange. By using these solvents as hydrostatic media for high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, we have investigated the effect of ligand exchange on the stability and compressibility of the framework and demonstrate that post-synthetic ligand exchange is very sensitive to both the molecular size and functionality of the exchanged ligand. We also demonstrate the ability to force hydrophilic molecules into hydrophobic pores using high pressures which results in a pressure-induced chemical decomposition of the Cu-framework.

Naming Graphics Image Files
The following discussion applies to the destinations where ODS graphs are created as individual image files (for example, HTML, and LISTING). The names of graphics image files are determined by a base filename, an index counter, and an extension. By default, the base filename is the ODS graph name (see the section Determining Graph Names and Labels). There is an index counter for each base filename. The extension indicates the image file type. The first time a graph object with a given base filename is created, the filename consists only of the base filename and the extension. If a graph with the same base filename is created multiple times, then an index counter is appended to the base filename to avoid overwriting previously created images.
To illustrate, consider the following statements:
proc kde data=bivnormal;
 ods select ContourPlot SurfacePlot;
 bivar x y / plots=contour surface;
run;
If you run this step at the beginning of a SAS session, the two graphics image files created are ContourPlot.png and SurfacePlot.png. If you immediately rerun these statements, then ODS creates the same graphs in different image files named ContourPlot1.png and SurfacePlot1.png. The next time, the image files are named ContourPlot2.png and SurfacePlot2.png. The index starts at zero, and one is added each time the same name is used. Note, however, that when the index is at zero, 0 is not added to the filename.
Resetting the Index Counter
You can specify the RESET=INDEX option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement to reset the index counter. This is useful when you need to have predictable names. It is particularly useful when you are running a SAS program multiple times in the same session. The following statement resets the index:
ods graphics on / reset=index;
The index counter is reinitialized at the beginning of your SAS session or if you specify the RESET=INDEX option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement. Graphics image files with the same name are overwritten.
Specifying Base Filenames
You can specify a base filename for all your graphics image files with the IMAGENAME= option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement as follows:
ods graphics on / imagename="MyName";
You can also specify the RESET=INDEX option as follows:
ods graphics on / reset=index imagename="MyName";
The IMAGENAME= option overrides the default base filename. With the preceding statement, the graphics image files are named MyName, MyName1, MyName2, and so on.
Specifying Image File Types
You can specify the image file type for the LISTING, HTML, or LATEX destinations with the OUTPUTFMT= option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement as follows:
ods graphics on / outputfmts=gif;
For more information, see the section ODS GRAPHICS Statement.
Naming Graphics Image Files with Multiple Destinations
Since the index counter depends only on the base filename, if you specify multiple ODS destinations for your output, then the index counter is increased independently of the destination. For example, the following statements create image files named ContourPlot.png and SurfacePlot.png that correspond to the LISTING destination, and ContourPlot1.png and SurfacePlot1.png that correspond to the HTML destination:
ods listing;
ods html;
ods graphics on / reset;
proc kde data=bivnormal;
 ods select ContourPlot SurfacePlot;
 bivar x y / plots=contour surface;
run;
ods _all_ close;
ods listing;
When you specify one of the destinations in the PRINTER family or the RTF destination, your ODS graphs are embedded in the document, so the index counter is not affected. For example, the following statements create image files ContourPlot.png and SurfacePlot.png for the LISTING destinations, but no image files for the RTF destination:
ods listing;
ods rtf;
ods graphics on / reset;
proc kde data=bivnormal;
 ods select ContourPlot SurfacePlot;
 bivar x y / plots=contour surface;
run;
ods _all_ close;

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux is the fine arts museum of the city of Bordeaux, France. Established in 1801 by the painter Pierre Lacour,[1] it is one of the largest art galleries of France outside Paris. The museum is housed in a dependency of the Palais Rohan in central Bordeaux. Its collections regroup paintings, sculptures and drawings. The painting collection is the largest one and its strong points are works by French and Dutch painters. The museum holds several paintings that were looted by the French during the French revolution (so-called'saisies révolutionnaires') and were never returned to their lawful owners such as the Martyrdom of Saint Georges by Peter Paul Rubens.[2]
Expansion plans[edit]
In 2009, plans for a new museum building designed by David Chipperfield were launched. Originally due to open in 2018, the €55 million project was later pushed back until 2020. The expansion was necessary not least because more space is required to take up a promised donation of 663 works by Tsuguharu Foujita.[3]

Tea Extracts Repair Radiotherapy Skin Damage
Posted: December 8, 2006
Findings from a new study confirm that tea extracts applied to the skin promote the repair of damage from radiotherapy, and shed light on the mechanisms involved in the injury. The beneficial effects of the extracts are mostly from their ability to attenuate the body signals that trigger inflammation.
Radiotherapy interruption because of toxic effects to the skin may compromise the outcome of cancer treatment, lead author Dr. Frank Pajonk, from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, told Reuters Health. "So, it is important to have an effective treatment for this problem."
According to Pajonk, "tea extracts have been used as a folk remedy for sunburns, which led to their use as a treatment for radiation-induced skin toxicity. They have proven quite successful in this regard, but there were no scientific data" to clarify their effects.
In a study reported in the journal BMC Medicine, the researchers analyzed the effects of green or black tea extracts given to 60 patients with skin damage related to radiotherapy for head and neck cancers and cancer in the pelvic region.
Treatment with the tea extracts enhanced skin repair, the report indicates. For radiation damage in the head and neck region, the green and black tea extracts were comparable in promoting repair, whereas in the pelvic region, green tea extract was superior, Pajonk said.

Primary objective: To determine the incidence of autonomic arousal vs. Dysautonomia following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting and to prospectively evaluate these groups against injury severity and outcome variables. Research design: Prospective observational group comparison (cohort) study of consecutive ICU admissions to a major trauma hospital over a 2-year period. Main outcomes and results: Eighty-nine of 113 subjects met inclusion and exclusion criteria, with consent gained for 79 subjects (61 male, 18 female: 89% of potential subjects). During the first 7 days post-injury, elevated autonomic parameters were almost universal in the sample (92%), predominantly hypertension and tachycardia. Nineteen of 79 subjects (24%) were autonomically aroused on day 7 (that is, had elevated heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and temperature). Dysautonomia was diagnosed on day 14 post-injury in six of 79 subjects (8%) using previously published criteria. Autonomically aroused subjects had significantly more severe injuries, poorer outcomes and greater estimated costs than non-aroused subjects. Furthermore, Dysautonomic subjects within the autonomically aroused group had significantly worse outcome and, excluding early deaths, a greater period of hospitalization and higher estimated costs. Conclusions: The 8% incidence of Dysautonomia during ICU admission was in broad agreement with previous research. While day 7 autonomic arousal indicated a greater degree of injury, the diagnosis of Dysautonomia provided additional prognostic information. A coordinated multi-centre research effort into this condition appears appropriate.
- Autonomic overactivity
- Traumatic brain injury

William Craig, Ulster Unionist, dies at 86
Former Stormont minister had role in start of Troubles; then as Vanguard leader he led strike against power-sharing
William Craig, a senior Ulster Unionist who broke away to form the Vanguard movement, has died at the age of 86.
While home affairs minister in the Unionist-dominated Stormont government in October 1968, Craig played a pivotal role at the start of the Northern Ireland conflict when he restricted a march by civil rights campaigners in Derry.
Three days of rioting began when marchers were struck with batons by police after walking onto a road which had been declared out of bounds by Craig; the subsequent chain of violence is often regarded as beginning the so-called Troubles.
Craig publicly branded the rights movement a front for Irish Republican activity, and in December 1968 was dismissed from his ministerial post by Northern Ireland prime minister Terence O'Neill. He left the Ulster Unionist party and formed the Vanguard Unionists.
David Burnside, a former Ulster Unioinst MP who was involved with Vanguard earlier in his political career, said of Craig: "As probably the most prominent hardline Unionist at the beginning of the Troubles, he brought together all the groupings of Unionism at the political and paramilitary levels."
After being elected to Stormont in 1960 for Larne, Craig had held several ministerial portfolios.
The Vanguard Unionists had affiliations with a number of loyalist paramilitary groupings and flirted with the concept of Northern Ireland independence. As their leader, Craig played a major role in the loyalist workers' strike in 1974 that led to the fall of a power-sharing government which followed the Sunningdale agreement.
That agreement brought constitutional nationalists into government, but opposition to power-sharing in the form of the strike closed down many workplaces. At one point Vanguard threatened physical resistance to the British government's support for the agreement.
In 1974 Craig won a Westminster seat, for East Belfast, but lost it in 1979 and retreated from the public eye.
He lived near Bangor in Co Down, where earlier this month he had suffered a stroke.

In this chapter, we have proposed a Luenberger observer linear systems diagnostic technique using the bond graph. Indeed, an observer can reconstruct or estimate the current state of a real system using the available measurements, without prior knowledge of the initial conditions. In addition, it allows to estimate the nonmeasurable states of a system. The design of the observer is carried out using graphical methods from the structural properties of the model bond graph becomes simple and practical to build. We presented the bond graph approach for the construction of a full-order observer and proposed a new BG-based observer diagnostic method. Subsequently, we presented the uncertain parameter systems modeled by the bond graph approach, and we also proposed a new method for diagnosing systems with uncertain parameters by Luenberger observer. In the last part of this chapter, we developed and proposed an observer bench diagnosis technique (BG-DOS/BG-GOS) to detect and locate defects.

What's the Difference Between Active Dry Yeast and Instant Yeast?
What's the Difference Between Active Dry Yeast and Instant Yeast?
Emma Christensen
Oct 16, 2015
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
Is it just me or do all these kinds of yeast sound suspiciously similar? I've been baking and buying yeast for years, and sometimes the yeast choices in the baking aisle still get me confused!
Here's the thing: Yes, there is a difference between all these varieties. And yes, which one you use does make a difference in your recipe.
The Difference Between Active Dry Yeast & Instant Yeast
The difference between these types of dry yeast is simple: active dry yeast has a larger granule and needs to be dissolved in water before using, while instant yeast has a more fine texture and can be mixed right into dry ingredients.
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
More About Active Dry Yeast
This is probably what comes to mind when you think of yeast. It's a type of dry yeast that's granular, with a consistency similar to cornmeal. It's a living organism that's dormant until proofed, or dissolved in a small amount of lukewarm warm water (about 110°F). It's then added to the rest of the ingredients, where it will cause dough to rise.
Active dry yeast is typically sold in individual packets (pictured here) or small jars.
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
More About Instant Yeast
Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result.
This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.
More About Rapid-Rise Yeast
Instant yeast may also be marketed and sold as rapidor quick-rise yeast. This yeast has also been milled into smaller particles so it doesn't need to be dissolved into water. In addition, enzymes and other additives are included to make the dough rise faster. With this yeast, you can skip the first rise of the dough and shape the loaves right after kneading.
(Image credit: Kelli Foster)
Which Type Should I Use?
This part is really up to you. While each type of yeast reacts differently and produces baked goods with slight variations, there's no one right answer.
I recommend picking one kind of yeast, becoming familiar with it, and using it in everything unless the recipe gives a specific reason to do otherwise.

Wellington initiates exploration drilling for contingency water supply
Wellington Water has begun drilling exploration wells in the hope of tapping into the Waiwhetu aquifer to gain a back-up supply of fresh water in the event of a major earthquake, according to a report by RNZ.
The drilling will inform planners about the geological and soil profile, and quality of water produced from the harbour bore. Estimates place well bore production at 30 million litres a day, servicing 20 percent of Wellington's water demand.
The city's existing major feed pipes are predicted to fail in 30 places in a 7.6 magnitude quake. Last year's quake resulted in failure of the central city's only feeder.
Wellington Water, the city's main water utility, estimates that in the event of a major earthquake the city could be without water for up to 100 days. The utility hopes that by tapping into the aquifer this estimate could be reduced to less than 30 days.
The utility plans to also begin drilling 6 explorations wells in and around the city, starting in Newtown next week.

Pets left behind in the North are focus of Israeli volunteers
YOKNE'AM, Israel, Aug. 15 (JTA) -- When tens of thousands of Israelis fled their homes as Hezbollah rockets began raining down on northern Israel, they left behind not only hastily locked-up houses but, in many cases, their pets.
After days and weeks of being left to fend for themselves, many of the animals were found starving and dehydrated in the streets of northern towns and cities. Estimates put the number of animals in distress at about 8,000.
Three dogs were killed after a rocket hit the house in Kiryat Shmona where their owner had tied them up and left them. Some dogs were found wounded, their bodies riddled with shrapnel. Many others, terrified by the sound of rocket fire and artillery blasts, fled their homes and began living on the streets.
campaign_puppies.gif Soon after the fighting began, Hakol Chai, an Israeli animal welfare group, began sending volunteers to feed and water animals and rescue those in need of medical attention. Yadin Elam, the organization's director, finds it hard to believe so many pets were left behind.
The owners "probably thought it wouldn't take so long, thinking, 'We'll leave food for our pets.' Some of them called us," Elam said. "I have some issues with those people, but they're not the same as people who didn't do anything. Some even chained their dogs in the yard."
Largely supported by donations from American Jews, Hakol Chai sent 12 tons of pet food, hundreds of water bowls, medicine and other supplies to the North during Israel's monthlong war with Hezbollah.
Risking Katyusha fire, volunteers scattered at night into the streets of cities like Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya and Haifa looking for animals that needed medical help, and putting food and water in the streets for the others.
Noam Vardi, Hakol Chai's volunteer coordinator, started the job two weeks before the war began. He wasn't sure how he would find volunteers, but when the war started he was flooded with calls from people anxious to help.
campaign_food3.gif The first night, instead of finding cats to feed in the town of Ma'alot, volunteers were overwhelmed by the stench of death: Many cats already had died.
Since that night, Vardi and his volunteers rescued countless animals by putting out food and water and finding foster homes for others. Many of the cats were street cats that had lived off residents' handouts and garbage.
With the locals no longer there, their situation turned desperate, Vardi said.
Vardi tells the story of two large, emaciated dogs his team found during one of their night rescue tours.
Their owner had left food and water for a few days, but had chained the dogs on leashes scampaign_dogfood.gifo short that the food was just out of reach.
The dogs were brought to a shelter in the center of the country, as was another dog found with internal injuries after he tried to make his way into a bomb shelter. Instead of being brought to safety, he was attacked by the people in the shelter, Elam said.
Meytal Nuriel, a 23-year-old student from Kiryat Shmona, made sure a neighbor took care of her cat when she left for central Israel. Last week she decided she wanted to collect him, but was too scared to do it herself.
She read about Hakol Chai online, and had volunteers pick up the cat and bring him to her.
"If I weren't so scared, I would have gone myself to help them," she said.
"They're doing something really important -- without them, many animals would starve."
On one of Hakol Chai's patrols, a collection of hungry animals was discovered in a yard -- three dogs, eight puppies, pigeons and rabbits crowded inside small cages alongside 20 chickens, parrots, and numerous cats.
Foster homes are being found for the animals.
Farm animals also were affected by the fighting. Farmers say cows are producing less milk because of the stress. Some 20 cows and calves were killed by rocket fire on Kibbutz Amir, near Kiryat Shmona, Hakol Chai officials said.
On Sunday night, just before the U.N. cease-fire went into effect, volunteers gathered in the town of Yokne'am and debated whether or not to go to Kiryat Shmona, where they had planned to distribute food and water.
Some returned to the center of the country, but two others -- including a volunteer who had traveled from the United States to help with the rescue effort -- headed north. Noa Ginzburg, 25, decided to volunteer.
"It's unthinkable that people would leave their animals behind," she said.
Donations to Hakol Chai relief efforts can be made through _URL_, or can be mailed to Hakol Chai, POB 51858, Tel Aviv 67214, or in the U.S., to CHAI, POB 3341, Alexandria, VA 22302, USA.
