Competition potential between sauger and walleye in non-native sympatry: historical trends and resource overlap in the Middle Missouri River, Montana
Title: Competition potential between sauger and walleye in non-native sympatry: historical trends and resource overlap in the Middle Missouri River, Montana
Creator: Bellgraph, Brian Joseph
Description: Sauger Sander canadensis populations throughout Montana and North America have exhibited declines over the past few decades. Sauger population abundance declined in the middle Missouri and Yellowstone rivers of Montana in the mid-1980s following a period of drought. Higher flows resulted in a rebound of the lower Yellowstone River population; however, the middle Missouri River population has remained at low abundance. Various factors may contribute to the reduced population abundance of sauger in the middle Missouri River, including interspecific competition with walleye Sander vitreus. Historical trend data of sauger and walleye were assessed to determine long-term trends of sauger and walleye fitness. To assess competition potential, seasonal migrations, habitat use, and diets of both species were compared in the middle Missouri River. Trophic position of sauger was also compared between the middle Missouri and Yellowstone rivers to evaluate the trophic status of sauger in sympatry and allopatry with walleye. Sauger and walleye were tracked using radio telemetry to establish and compare seasonal migrations. Habitat use was compared at three hierarchical scales, diets were collected on fish sampled using electrofishing, and diet overlap was calculated. Trophic position was calculated using stable isotope analysis. Historical trend data indicated that sauger and walleye are currently at low abundance and sauger had low relative weights, which is likely due to low prey availability. Prior to the presumed spawning period, 96% of the sauger and 57% of the walleye migrated downstream as far as 273 km. After spawning, both species returned to previously-occupied river reaches and demonstrated site fidelity during the non-migratory season. Habitat use and selection by sauger and walleye were similar at all three hierarchical scales. Diet overlap was high during the spring [0.72 (SE=0.003)] and summer [0.95 (SE=0.0008)] and moderate during autumn [0.49 (SE=0.003)]. Sauger trophic position differed statistically between the middle Missouri and Yellowstone rivers; however, the biological consequences of the difference are uncertain. Overall, resource overlap of sauger and walleye in the middle Missouri River, Montana suggests that competition potential between these species is high, which may preclude the recovery of native sauger populations if resources are limiting.

YouTube illusion and science channel Brusspup recently did an anamorphic illusion project in which he photographed a few random objects resting on a piece of paper (e.g. a Rubik's cube, a roll of tape, and a shoe), skewed them, printed them out as high-resolution prints, and then photographed them at an angle to make the prints look just like the original objects. Read more…
A couple weeks ago we shared an interesting video in which a speaker and Canon 5D Mark II's frame rate were used to make water appear to be frozen in mid-air. This new video by YouTube user Brusspup takes the idea to the next level by making the water appear to travel upwards. He explains:
Fill a bucket full of water and place it about 5 feet off the ground. Place a subwoofer about 1 foot lower than the bucket. Run a plastic tube from the top bucket down in front of the subwoofer. Tape the tube to the front of the speaker. Then aim the end of the tube to an empty bucket on the floor. Get the water flowing from the top bucket. Now just generate a 24 hz sine wave and set your camera to 24 fps and watch the magic happen. Basically your cameras frame rate is synced up with the rate of the vibrations of the water so it appears to be frozen or still. Now if you play a 23 hz sine wave your frame rate will be off just a little compared to the sine wave causing the water to "move backward" or so as it appears. You can play a 25 hz sine wave and cause the water to move slowly forward.
This experiment has become quite a trend as of late — this particular video has been viewed over a million times in less than a week.
We often share cool slow motion or time-lapse videos here on PetaPixel, but this video is a bit different. YouTube user brusspup uses a turntable spinning at 45RPM to create amazing optical illusion animations. To a human eye look at the turntable, everything looks like a blur, but record it at 24 frames per second, and amazing animations appear!
In the description, brusspup writes:
The images of the guy jumping is me. I recorded myself jumping in the living room then took 30 frames from that footage and traced the images in photoshop and filled with black. Then printed out the 30 images and cut each one out. I used 30 wooden blocks and glued them to a piece of construction paper then taped the images of the jumping guy to the clear sheet and aligned them with the blocks.

Heinrich August Winkler is the doyen of modern German history writing. He has behind him a string of distinguished books on the modern age, very few of which have made their way into the English language. This neglect has finally been put right with a splendid translation of his magisterial study of the 'West' in the years between 1914 and 1945, first published in Germany in 2011. It is an indication that the British market is a tough nut to crack that the English title is The Age of Catastrophe, as indeed it was, while the original German title translates as 'History of the West: The Period of World Wars'. 'Catastrophe' will certainly sell more copies, but it is surely arguable that the real catastrophe engulfed Eurasia, from Eastern Europe to Japan. A 'History of the West' on its own would in the end raise fewer questions.
The first question is, of course, what Winkler understands as the 'West'. This is never fully addressed in the book, which in fact covers the history of tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, China and Japan as well as the conventional 'West',

80 GB of available disk space.
To ensure high availability, we recommend at least two Cloud Connectors in each resource location. The WEM agent balances the load among Cloud Connectors automatically. If the Citrix Cloud Connectors in place are not for WEM service only, consider deploying more Cloud Connectors.
For information about Cloud Connectors, see Citrix Cloud Connector.
The recommended configuration
We can use three types of configurations to deploy WEM. Use the type that suits the actual environment the best.
Single domain in a single forest
This configuration can be used in an environment that has only a single domain in a single forest. Normally, the single domain contains all the resources and user objects. So, in this configuration, you only need to deploy one set of Cloud Connectors to enable all your devices to connect to the WEM service. Below is the overview of this configuration.
Reference Architecture: Workspace Environment Management service (3)
Multiple domains in a single forest
This configuration can be used in environments where multiple domains in a single forest exist. As the domains in the forest can communicate with each other, in this configuration, you only need to deploy one set of Cloud Connectors to enable all your devices to connect to the WEM service.
Reference Architecture: Workspace Environment Management service (4)
Users and resources in separate forests (with trust)
In this use case, users and resources reside in different domain forests for management purposes. A trust exists between the two forests that allows the users to log on to resources in another forest. In this deployment, customers need to deploy Cloud Connectors into each domain forest to complete the WEM deployment.

The defensive team
in American football
or Canadian football
, is the team that begins a play from scrimmage
not in possession of the ball.
Several different "defensive sets" are used. The numbers of linemen and linebackers will vary, but most sets used in American football include a line composed of defensive ends and defensive tackles and, behind the line, linebackers, cornerbacks, a strong safety and a free safety.
- defensive end - the two defensive ends play on the outside of the defensive line. Their function is to rush the passer or stop runs.
- defensive tackle - (sometimes called a defensive guard), defensive tackles are linemen who lines up inside the defensive ends. Their function is to rush the passer, and defend against running plays. A defensive tackle that lines up directly across from the ball (on the nose of the center) is often called a nose guard. Common defensive sets have from one to three defensive tackles.
- linebacker - linebackers play behind the defensive line and perform various duties depending on the situation, including rushing the passer, covering receivers, and defending against the run. Most defensive sets have between three and five linebackers.
- cornerback - the cornerbacks primarily cover the wide receivers.
- safety - the safeties are the last line of defense (farthest from the line of scrimmage), and provide help on deep pass coverage.

The Royal Asiatic Society presents:
Royal Asiatic Society 'Britain Nepal 200' Lecture Series
Dr John Whelpton (CU Hong Kong) – Jang Bahadur in Europe
John Whelpton's talk looks at the 1850 visit to London and Paris by Jang Bahadur Rana, founder of the Rana family regime which ruled Nepal from 1846 to 1951. As the first Hindu head of government to cross the 'black water' and travel to Europe, Jang was a media sensation, while his first-hand observation of British power led him to side with the East India Company against the revolt of 1857 in northern India. the speaker will draw on material from his book Jang Bahadur in Europe: The First Nepalese Mission to the West, shortly to be published in a revised edition by Mandala in Kathmandu. This combines a translation and commentary on an account of the embassy written by one of Jang's travelling companions with extensive extracts from contemporary British and French press coverage, providing a detailed portrait of how two cultures appeared to one another.

The Master (Sensei) and Practitioners (Ryoho) of the Hoshindo Healing Arts Institute, as Guardians and Keepers of the Bees, honour the ancient tradition of Hoshin under the guidance of the Hoshindo Society of the Americas (Hoshindo Kyokai).
Sensei and Ryoho follow Hoshindo within a cultural code of fine art, sound, mantra, meditation and ceremony. They practice this medicinal healing art, observing the interplay of the phenomena of Nature and the Honey Bee, while deepening their understanding of the art of life and the art of death.
In following the tradition of Hoshindo, they learn to focus attention, creating a listening attitude that permits tenderness to manifest. This can lead to fearless mind, profound composure, and compassion – all important qualities in the successful practice of Hoshindo and the Medicines of the Bee.

Q: When you're grateful, what exactly are you full of?
A: You're full of gratitude, of course. But what you're really asking is, what is "grate"?
The "grate" that a "grateful" person is full of, according to John Ayto's Dictionary of Word Origins, "is a now obsolete adjective, meaning 'pleasing' and 'thankful.' "
The old modifier—derived from gratus, a Latin adjective meaning agreeable, pleasing, or thankful—had its heyday in the 1500s and 1600s, according to citations in the Oxford English Dictionary.
"Grateful is a curious sort of adjective," Ayto writes. "It is unusual for adjectives ending in -ful themselves to be formed from adjectives, and it has been suggested in this case that the related Italian gradevole 'pleasing' may have had some influence."
The OED notes that the Italian word was also spelled gratevole, and that the English usage may have been influenced by "an accidental resemblance" between the Italian -vole and the English "-ful" endings.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Oxford says, "grateful" was one of several new words that showed up in English with adjectives attached to the suffix "-ful." Others were "direful," "tristful," and "fierceful."
The Latin adjective gratus has given English several other words, including "gratify," "gratitude," and "gratuity." And the related Latin noun gratia (grace, kindness) has given English "grace" and "gratis."

TimePilot Tap+
Moving TimePilot Tap+ Clock-In Data to TimePilot Central
If you're using your Tap+ without the cable—that's how we intended it to be used when we designed it—at some point you'll want to get your clock-ins and clock-outs into the TimePilot database on your PC. Here's how:
The red 'Not Connected' means the clock isn't connected to the PC with the USB cable.
1. Click the TimePilot Tap icon (shown at right) on your desktop. The Tap Manager will appear on your screen. (See screenshot above.) Note that the words "Not Connected" appear in the white box. That will change in the next step!
The green 'Connected' means the clock is connected to the PC with the USB cable.
2. Connect the USB cable that came with your Tap+ to the port on the Tap+ clock and plug the other end into a USB port on your computer. In a few seconds, the Red "Not Connected" will change to a green "Connected" and the date and time will appear. (See screenshot above.) At the same time, the clock-in and clock-out data is automatically transferred from the clock to the database, the time on the clock is updated to match the time on your PC and the battery in the clock is recharged.
3. Start TimePilot Central and view your newly imported transactions.


Bridges
The bridge is module implemented in agilib/src/bridge/. The bridge class offers an interface between the commands produced by the controller and the hardware. It uses a thrust map to convert the commands to low level signals for the designed low level controller. There are different child classes, depending on the hardware. Some of them are:
 - sbus: Implements an interface through the SBUS interface.
 - ctrl: Implements an interface to the AgiNuttx low level controller.
 - laird: Implements an interface that uses LAIRD RF modules. It's usually used together with the SBUS bridge in order to get commands from an offboard controller and send them through the SBUS to the low level controller.

Yes. One apparently is being used incorrectly because it should never be used in ordinary conversation. "Reverend" is an adjective that is used when writing out a clergyman's name (e.g., "The Reverend John Peterson"). It is analogous to using the title "Honorable" for certain dignitaries
(e.g., "The Honorable John Peterson"): Just as someone entitled by courtesy to the title "The Honorable" on his envelopes is called (for example) "Senator John Peterson" when speaking face to face, so a priest might be addressed "The Reverend John Peterson" on his envelopes but called "Father Peterson" face to face. And, just as the word "Honorable" must have the word the
preceding it, so must the word "Reverend." Calling anyone or addressing envelopes to anyone as "Reverend John Peterson" is incorrect.

TIMBER THEN AND NOW
In 1901 Australian forests gave up 1.1 million cubic metres of sawn or hewn timber. Nearly a century later, our forests produced about three and a half times this amount of sawn wood (3.6 million cubic metres in 1998-99); over the same period Australia's population grew five-fold. More use of timber substitutes such as steel, concrete and plastic can probably explain the disparity.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Queensland (31%), Western Australia (27%) and New South Wales (21%) produced the most timber, but by 1998-99 Victoria was cutting 25% and New South Wales 24%; Queensland dropped its share to 21%.
One hundred years ago, Australia was a net importer of timber and timber products. In 1901 Australia imported timber and timber products to the value of about $130m in today's terms, while exports then would be valued at about $60m now. In 1998-99 Australia was still a net importer, in broadly similar proportions; the value of exports of timber and timber products ($1.3b) was about 40% that of imports ($3.3b).

How to Calculate Standard Deviations in Excel Visual Basic
By Contributor
Updated July 21, 2017
Excel is the spreadsheet program included in the Microsoft Office Suite of productivity software. A spreadsheet program manages data through a series of tables. Each data value is placed within an individual cell within the table. Values can be manipulated through a set of built-in functions. Standard deviation is average deviation from the mean of the values of a set. Simply put, it identifies the precision of a set of values. Standard deviation can be calculated using the built-in function STDEV in Excel, or Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
Built-in Standard Deviation Function
Open Excel and the data set where you want to find the standard deviation.
Type"=STDEV(" in the cell where you want to display the standard deviation. Do not press "Enter."
Holding down shift, select the range of cells containing the data points. If the cells are not continuous, hold down Ctrl while selecting the non-continuous cells. This should place a series of cells names in the formula bar after "=STDEV(".
Type ")" in the formula bar and press "Enter." The standard deviation will be calculated using the unbiased method.
Using Built-in Functions in VBA
This same built-in function can be used in a VBA script to calculate standard deviation. Open VBA and click on the end of the module where you are going to calculate the standard deviation.
Type "Function StDev( Rng As Range)" and then press "Enter." This should also create a new line "End Function."
On the line between "Function..." and "End Function," type "StDev = Application.WorksheetFunction.StDev( Rng)" and then press "Enter."
To calculate the standard deviation in VBA, simply use the function StDev().
This same method can be used to access any of the built-in functions of Excel within VBA.

INTRODUCTION: To assess the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volumes (MPV), platelet–lymphocyte ratios (PLR) and other complete blood count parameters (CBC) as indicators of inflammation in patients with pterygium.
METHODS: This study was carried out retrospectively in 111 consecutive pterygium patients and 106 control subjects. Laboratory and clinical parameters were obtained from the patient data management system. NLR and PLR were calculated by dividing neutrophil and platelet count by lymphocyte count.
RESULTS: A significant difference was found in NLR and lymphocyte values between the pterygium and control groups (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference found in MPV, PLR and other parameters between groups (p>0.05).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: NLR may have an association with pterygium, which should be investigated at larger subgroups in further studies.

- The Soil Health Card (SHC) scheme is promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare to provide information to farmers on nutrient status of their soil along with recommendations on appropriate dosage of nutrients to be applied for improving soil health and its fertility.
- Launched in 2015, it is being implemented through the Department of Agriculture of all the State and Union Territory Governments.
Constituents of a Soil Health Card
- SHC is a printed report that a farmer will be handed over for each of his holdings.
- It will contain the status of his soil with respect to 12 parameters, namely N, P, K (Macronutrients); S (Secondary- nutrient); Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Bo (Micronutrients); and pH, EC, OC (Physical parameters).
|N – Nitrogen , P – Phosphorus, K – Potassium, S – Sulphur, Zn – Zinc, Fe – Iron,
Cu – Copper, Mn – Manganese, Bo – Boron, pH – potential of hydrogen, EC – Electrical Conductivity, OC – Organic Carbon.
- SHC will be made available once in a cycle of 3 years, which will indicate the status of soil health of a farmer's holding for that particular period.
- The SHC will also indicate fertilizer recommendations and soil amendment required for the farm.
Benefits of Soil Health Card
- Soil Health Card help the farmers in the following ways:
- The report generated through soil health card scheme encourages judicious and balanced use of fertilizers.
- The report card also suggests use of bio fertilizers, micronutrients and organic manures to increase soil fertility.
- Farmers training and demonstrations on farmers fields, under the scheme creates awareness among the farmers to increase soil fertility.
- The SHC will monitor the soil of the farmers well and will give them a formatted report. So, they can decide well which crops they should cultivate and which ones they should skip.
- The authorities will monitor the soil on a regular basis. So, farmers need not worry if the nature of the soil changes due to certain factors and also they will always have updated data about their soil.
- Apart from listing down measures required to improve the quality of the soil, experts are also employed to help farmers in carrying out the corrective measures.
Why in the news?
- The Government of India has made some technological interventions in the New Soil Health Card Scheme. The Soil Health Card portal has been revamped and integrated with a Geographic Information System (GIS) system so that all the test results are captured and seen on a map.
- To make the implementation/monitoring of the scheme smooth and to facilitate farmers an easy access to his soil health card, the mobile application has been made robust with the additional features.

By putting Bleach in the gas tank, you can ruin an engine without evidence. If you put Bleach in the gas tank, it will eventually rust the engine several components because Bleach contains a high amount of chlorine. Not only Bleach, but any liquid except fuel can also destroy a car quietly.
How long does it take bleach to ruin an engine?
Pour in an entire gallon or container inside the tank. The tank should have a little quantity of fuel This should destroy the car engine within 5 to 10 minutes.
What happens if you put bleach in a car engine?
There's no definitive answer to how much bleach would ruin an engine. While a few drops wouldn't do much, if someone added even a quart, you need to flush the system. Otherwise, you could end up with significant damages. So, the answer to how much bleach is too much is quite simple – any bleach is too much.
What can you put in gas tank to destroy engine?
Your car's fuel tank is used to store gasoline, if you put anything other than fuel, such as water, oil, sugar, salt, coke or urine, your car engine will stop running or even get damaged if you let the foreign stuff get in your car's combustion chambers.
What can destroy a car engine?
How To Ruin A Car Engine Through The Gas Tank
- Bleach Can Ruin the Engine Easily.
- Water – Harmful Liquid for Car's Engine.
- Carbonated Drinks for Ruining A Car's Engine.
- Salt Can Ruin the Car's Engine.
- Urine – Another Harmful Factor For Car's Engine.
- Sugar – No more fuel's Supply To the Engine.
What will seize an engine?
An engine can seize due to running on low/no oil, overheating or succumbing to a broken timing belt. These conditions eventually stop your engine in its tracks and a professional technician will be required to restore function.
Is bleach detectable in gas tank?
Bleaches are usually made of two components: water and chlorine. Since chlorine is denser than water, it would stay at the bottom of the tank. However, the chlorine gas in the bleach would react with the fuel, causing corrosion in all the parts that come into contact with the liberated gas.
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide and gasoline?
The drug store peroxide (3% concentration) would have the same effect as adding water, but with more corrosion. The oxidizing effects mean that it could produce a considerable amount of rusting on e.g. the bottom of the gas tank, possibly leading to leaking gas &/or fouling the engine.
What happens if you put vinegar in a gas tank?
In the fuel, vinegar would keep the engine from running. Gasoline or diesel engines don't like water in the fuel system. If you had lots of alcohol in your gasoline, you might get away with it, if you were lucky. The alcohol bonds with the water.
How do you destroy someones car engine?
Putting water, sugar, salt, some sticky sweet liquid like honey, and more in the gas tank can easily destroy the engine by clogging up the fuel tank. You can also put a few brake fluids, some coke, urine, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide in the gas tank to ruin the engine.
What can you put in diesel to destroy engine?
The fluids that will destroy a diesel engine are coolant, fuel, and oil. Coolant is a liquid that is used to maintain the temperature of the engine. It works by transferring heat from the combustion chamber to the radiator, where it is cooled off.
What happens if you put antifreeze in a gas tank?
They will drain your tank, flush it and replace it with real gas. Antifreeze in the gas tank isn't a problem – that can't be fixed by draining the gas tank, flushing it and replacing with good gasoline. Running your engine with gas mixed with antifreeze is not a good idea.
What happens if you put coke in your gas tank?
There is sugar in Coca Cola after all, but there's a lot more than just that. The chemical composition of the drink when mixed with the gasoline in a car seems like it might turn the whole mess into a caustic sludge that would inevitably clog up an engine like nothing else possibly could.
How much sugar does it take to ruin an engine?
How Much Sugar Should I Put In The Gas Tank To Ruin The Engine? A teaspoon of sugar is not enough to cause harm, so this amounts to less than 15 gallons of gasoline. For gas that's only been "sugared" once, your level of sucrose dissolved should be small because it dissolve less than at other times.


Thomas Broomé Only Uses Words to Make Rooms in 'Modern Mantra'
By: Alexander Lam - Published: • References: & designtaxi
Using only words, artist Thomas Broomé created a series of uber-descriptive room drawings called 'Modern Mantra.' Each room that Broomé drew is composed only of words and nothing else. Furniture, walls and rooms were all drawn using the words that describe them. For example, the table was drawn using the word 'table' while the walls were drawn with the word 'wall.' With this restriction, Broomé went to create detailed rooms with lighting and perspective.
The amazing illustrations in 'Modern Mantra' were created with only ink and paper. As a result, each drawing is monotone. However, Broomé still managed to make his drawings realistic with varied spacing between words to show differences in light. The words for the wall were spaced apart while the words on the tapestry were clustered closely together. Stats for Literal Room Illustrations Trending: Older & Chilly

Hamilton cycles in (2, odd, 3)-Cayley graphs
Henry Glover, Klavdija Kutnar, Aleksander Malnič, Dragan Marušič, 2012, izvirni znanstveni članek
Opis: In 1969, Lovász asked if every finite, connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path. In spite of its easy formulation, no major breakthrough has been achieved thus far, and the problem is now commonly accepted to be very hard. The same holds for the special subclass of Cayley graphs where the existence of Hamilton cycles has been conjectured. In 2007, Glover and Marušič proved that a cubic Cayley graph on a finite ▫$(2, s, 3)$▫-generated group ▫$G = \langle a, x| a^2 = x^s = (ax)^3 = 1, \dots \rangle$▫ has a Hamilton path when ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4, and has a Hamilton cycle when ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 2 modulo 4. The Hamilton cycle was constructed, combining the theory of Cayley maps with classical results on cyclic stability in cubic graphs, as the contractible boundary of a tree of faces in the corresponding Cayley map. With a generalization of these methods, Glover, Kutnar and Marušič in 2009 resolved the case when, apart from ▫$|G|$▫, also ▫$s$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4. In this article, with a further extension of the above "tree of faces" approach, a Hamilton cycle is shown to exist whenever ▫$|G|$▫ is congruent to 0 modulo 4 and s is odd. This leaves ▫$|G|$▫ congruent to 0 modulo 4 with s congruent to 2 modulo 4 as the only remaining open case. In this last case, however, the "tree of faces" approach cannot be applied, and so entirely different techniques will have to be introduced if one is to complete the proof of the existence of Hamilton cycles in cubic Cayley graphs arising from finite ▫$(2, s, 3)$▫-generated groups.

WWU professor earns award for CO2 breakdown research
John Gilbertson, an assistant professor of chemistry at Western Washington University, has been awarded a five-year, $470,000 Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation for his research into breaking down harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and transforming them into useful compounds.
The award was one of only a handful given out to master's-granting institutions, such as WWU, and it is the university's third such award in three years.
Gilbertson and his team of students are investigating how to use cheap, Earth-abundant metals to transform the typically unreactive carbon dioxide molecule into useful chemicals and fuels, such as syngas and methanol.
One practical application of Gilbertson's research is a parallel use of the existing coal-to-liquids process that turns coal into syngas. But Gilbertson's processes eliminate the need to use coal altogether.
Gas-to-liquids technology, using the current boom on natural gas production in North America, also offers similar paths for Gilbertson and his researchers.
The research component of his award will fund two undergraduates and one graduate student per year as research assistants.
Besides the research component to the grant, the award also funds a curricular/outreach effort that Gilbertson is tentatively calling "Scientist Citizen." Gilbertson will be working with a student team to produce a series of videos focused on science-education topics of regional and national interest through traditional and digital media outlets such as YouTube and public television.

Streamlining Azure Arc Management: Automating DCR Checks with PowerShell
Introduction
In the evolving landscape of cloud computing, managing hybrid environments efficiently has become a critical task for IT professionals. Azure Arc, a service from Microsoft, stands out as a powerful tool in this area, enabling seamless management of resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments. However, one particular challenge that arises in the realm of Azure Arc is the management of Data Collection Rules (DCR) for servers. These rules are vital for monitoring and data collection, but keeping track of them, especially in large environments, can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
Traditionally, this task involves manually checking each server to ascertain its DCR associations, a process that is not only tedious but also prone to human error. This is where automation can play a transformative role. In this blog post, we'll dive into the world of Azure Arc for Servers, specifically focusing on the management of Data Collection Rule associations. Our spotlight will be on a PowerShell script that I've developed to automate this crucial process. The script streamlines the task by listing all Azure Arc-enabled servers, checking for existing DCR associations, and then neatly tagging each server with this information.
By sharing this script, I aim to equip Azure administrators with a tool that not only saves time but also brings a level of precision and ease to the management of Azure Arc servers. Whether you're overseeing a handful of servers or hundreds, this script is designed to simplify your workflow and enhance your management capabilities. Let's explore how this PowerShell solution can make a significant difference in handling Azure Arc's Data Collection Rules.
The Role of Data Collection Rules (DCR) in Azure Arc
Within the Azure Arc framework, Data Collection Rules (DCR) play a crucial role. DCRs are primarily used for configuring and managing data collection for Azure Monitor, a service that provides full-stack monitoring across applications, infrastructure, and networks. Specifically, DCRs in Azure Arc are used to define what data should be collected from the machines, how it should be collected, and where it should be sent.
Data Collection Rules are pivotal for gaining insights into the performance and health of your hybrid infrastructure. They enable organizations to collect metrics and logs crucial for monitoring, troubleshooting, and ensuring compliance across their distributed infrastructure. By setting up DCRs, administrators can ensure that the right data is being collected at the right intervals, providing a detailed view of their environment's health and performance.
However, the challenge comes with the management of these rules, especially when dealing with a large number of servers. Ensuring each server has the appropriate DCRs and keeping track of these associations can become a complex task, which is where the power of automation through scripting becomes invaluable.
The Challenge of Manual Management
The Cumbersome Nature of Manual DCR Association Checks
In a perfect world, managing Data Collection Rules (DCR) for Azure Arc-enabled servers would be a straightforward, one-time task. However, in the dynamic environment of cloud computing, where configurations and needs constantly evolve, this process is far from static. For administrators, this translates to a recurring need to manually verify and update the DCR associations for each server. This task, while essential, is fraught with challenges.
The most apparent challenge is the sheer time consumption. In environments with a substantial number of servers, going through each server individually to check and update DCR associations is a tedious and time-intensive process. As the scale of the infrastructure grows, so does the complexity and duration of this task. This not only diverts valuable time and resources away from other critical activities but also introduces delays in updating or implementing new monitoring configurations.
Potential for Errors and Inconsistencies
Another significant drawback of manual management is the heightened risk of human error. Manual processes, by their nature, are prone to mistakes. These can range from overlooking certain servers to incorrectly configuring DCR associations. The implications of such errors are notable. An unmonitored server might go unnoticed, leading to blind spots in the infrastructure's health and performance monitoring. Similarly, incorrect configurations can result in the collection of irrelevant data or, worse, not collecting critical data needed for compliance and troubleshooting.
Impact on Responsiveness and Proactive Management
The manual process also impacts an organization's ability to be responsive and proactive in its infrastructure management. In a domain where real-time data and quick adjustments are key, any delays in configuring or updating DCR associations can hinder timely decision-making and action. This lag not only affects operational efficiency but can also have ramifications for compliance and security.
Given these challenges, the need for an automated, reliable, and efficient method to manage DCR associations is clear. In the following section, we will explore how a PowerShell script can address these challenges, turning a cumbersome manual task into an automated, streamlined process.
Script Requirements
 - Azure PowerShell Module
 - Permissions to read and modify Azure Arc connected machines, Data Collection Rules and tags.
Automating with PowerShell: Script Overview and Walkthrough
In the quest to overcome the challenges of manual management of Data Collection Rule (DCR) associations in Azure Arc, PowerShell emerges as a powerful ally. Leveraging PowerShell, I have developed a script that automates the tedious process of checking and tagging Azure Arc-enabled servers with their respective DCR associations.
High-Level Overview of the Script
The script is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind. Its core functionalities include:
 - Listing Azure Arc Servers: The script begins by gathering all servers managed under Azure Arc. It uses Azure PowerShell cmdlets to fetch details of these servers, ensuring that no server is left unchecked.
 - Checking DCR Associations: For each server, the script then checks for existing Data Collection Rules associations. This step is crucial as it identifies what monitoring configurations are currently applied to each server.
 - Tagging Servers with DCR Information: Once the DCR associations are identified, the script tags each server with this information. The tagging includes a count of the DCR associations and, if necessary, the names of the associated rules. This tagging provides a clear, at-a-glance view of the DCR associations for each server, accessible directly within the Azure portal.

Script Walkthrough
The script operates in a few concise steps:
 - Connect to Azure: It starts by establishing a connection to your Azure account, ensuring access to Azure Arc resources.
 - Fetch Azure Arc Server Details: Using Get-AzConnectedMachine, the script lists all Azure Arc-enabled servers in your environment.
 - Evaluate and Tag Each Server: For each server, it utilizes Get-AzDataCollectionRuleAssociation to find any linked DCRs. The script then constructs a tag value, which includes the total count of DCRs and their names. It's important to note that the script also intelligently handles scenarios where the length of the tag value might exceed Azure's character limit.
 - Apply Tags: Finally, the script applies these tags to each server using New-AzTag, thus completing the automation loop.
This PowerShell script is more than just a time-saving tool; it's a step towards more intelligent, responsive, and efficient cloud infrastructure management. By automating what was once a manual and error-prone process, administrators can now focus on more strategic tasks, secure in the knowledge that their server monitoring configurations are consistently managed and up-to-date.
Azure Portal Experience
Reading Azure Arc Machine Tags and Converting from JSON
In managing Azure Arc-enabled servers, it's equally important to have a means to read and interpret the data that has been automated through the tagging process. To this end, I've developed another PowerShell script specifically designed to read the tags from an Azure Arc machine and convert them from JSON to a readable format. This functionality is particularly useful for administrators who need to quickly understand the monitoring configuration of each server without delving into complex JSON structures.

Conclusion
The PowerShell script presented in this blog post is more than just a tool; it's a step towards transforming the way Azure Arc-enabled servers are managed. By automating the tedious and error-prone process of checking and tagging DCR associations, the script significantly boosts efficiency, ensures consistency, and facilitates proactive management.
Its implementation is straightforward, requiring basic familiarity with Azure and PowerShell. The simplicity of the script, coupled with its powerful functionality, makes it a valuable addition to the toolkit of any Azure administrator.
I encourage you to try out this script in your environment. Experience firsthand how it simplifies and streamlines the management of DCR associations. Your feedback is invaluable; it not only helps in refining this tool but also fosters a community of shared knowledge and continuous improvement.

Ruyton-XI-Towns (/ˌrtən ɨˈlɛvən tnz/[1] "ryetən eleven towns"), formally Ruyton of the Eleven Towns or simply Ruyton, is a large village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It has a population of around 1,500 people and lies on the River Perry. Nearby to the east is the large village of Baschurch and to the north the smaller village of Wykey. grid reference SJ393221
The village acquired its unusual name in the twelfth century when a castle was built, and it became the major manor of eleven local townships. The Roman numeral for eleven is included in its name. Some of the eleven ancient townships, mostly situated to the north and west of Ruyton, still survive as hamlets today; although some, like Coton, are just a collection of farm buildings. The eleven were Ruyton, Coton, Shotatton, Shelvock, Eardiston and Wykey, which remain in the parish; and Felton, Haughton, Rednal, Sutton and Tedsmore, now in the parish of West Felton.
Lying in the Welsh Marches, the castle was destroyed in 1202, rebuilt by 1313 and destroyed again by Owain Glyndŵr. Its ruins stand in the parish churchyard.
In 1308, an attempt was made to refound the town as New Ruyton. It was awarded a charter which briefly gave it the same status as the County of Bristol, but as raiding continued, it declined and lost most of its rights.
Notable buildings in the village include its parish church, part of which dates from the 1130s, and the gardens of Brownhill House.
Arthur Conan Doyle, while a medical student, worked as an unpaid assistant in the village for a Dr Eliot for four months in 1878, living in at Cliffe House.[2] He later recalled Ruyton in his Memories and Recollections (1923) as "not big enough to make one town, far less eleven".[2]
The Preparatory school Packwood Haugh is near the village.
The parish war memorial is unique in Shropshire in being in the form of a cave, carved eight feet into the sandstone cliff of the Brownhill beside the road leading out of the village towards Baschurch. The idea of London architect Stanley Vaughan, who offered this after a visit to Ruyton, it was sculpted by local father-and-son stonemasons Warwick and Len Edwards, and unveiled in October 1920. The benches either side within the arch and the cross are all carved out of the rock, with the names of those known to have died in the First and Second World Wars listed on separate plaques.

The craft of making swords has been inherited from parents and grandparents and it has been mastered by the Damascenes. Sword is considered the rarest and most exquisite antique gifts; it is also considered a precious masterpiece and heritage for those who are interested.
- Swords have two types:
Yamani, Indian and Kilij swords: are good swords with old wootz steel blade.
Khurasani, Egyptian and Damascene swords: are new swords with modern wootz steel blade.
There are others names of swords such as ( al Husam, al Mohanad, al Sarem, al Battar, al Masoor, Zul Fiqar, al Rasoob, al Maqzam ). Prophet Mohammad also had nicknames for his swords such as ( al Maqzam, Kilij, al Rasoob, al Masoor, al Battar ).

What is difference between __sleep and __wakeup() in PHP ?

In PHP, the __sleep and the __wakeup methods are called as magic methods. These methods are invoked or executed when we want to deal with serialization and deserialization of objects during runtime to store or save the object information in string format and again the information can be restored.
__sleep() Method: This method is used for serialization. Serialization is used to save or store the information of the object in the form of string representation in a database, cookies, servers, sessions, files, etc. This method returns an array that carries the properties of an object, included in the serialized version of that particular object. This method is generally invoked before initiating the serializing of the object, which tells what properties to be included in the string representation. In other words, the__sleep() method provides a way for saving the information of the class instances (i.e., variables, methods, etc.,) in the string format in a file or in any other mentioned location or path.
Syntax:
public function __sleep() {
 return statement (object)
}
Example 1: In this example, we declare the array and initialize the values in the __construct() method. In __sleep() method, return the array values and it will simply store the object information in the form of a string. To call this __sleep() method, create an object for the class and serialize the object in order to call the __sleep() method. It will simply display the array information in the form of a string in the output.
PHP
<?php
 class Sleep_Wakeup {
 public $arrayM;
 public function __construct() {
 $this->arrayM = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
 }

 public function __sleep() {
 echo "I am from __sleep() method \n";
 return array('arrayM');
 }
}
 $obj = new Sleep_Wakeup();
 $serializedStr = serialize($obj); //serializing the object
 var_dump($serializedStr); //printing the serialized object
?>
Output:
I am from __sleep() method
string(83) "O:12:"Sleep_Wakeup":1:{s:6:"arrayM";a:5:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;i:3;i:4;i:4;i:5;}}"
__wakeup() Method: This method is used for deserialization. Deserialization is used to restore the saved string representation to its original form. De-Serialization is a vice-versa of Serialization. __wakeup() method is also used to provide initialization or to call the various resources such as database, file, server, etc.,
Syntax:
public function __wakeup() {
 // Initializing the connection
 // to resources (file, database etc.,)
}
Example 2: In this example, declare the resource variable. In the __wakeup() method, provide the initialization to open a file and __wakeup() will open the file. To call this __wakeup() method, create an object for the class and serialize the object first before unserializing. Now, unserialize the object to call the __wakeup() method. It will simply call the file or other sources depending on the initialization in the __wakeup() method.
PHP
<?php

 class Sleep_Wakeup {
 public $resource; //declaration

 public function __wakeup() {
 echo "I am from __wakeup() method \n";

 // Opening the file
 $this->resource = fopen("demo.txt", "w");
 }
}

$obj = new Sleep_Wakeup();

// Serializing the object for string representation
$serializedStr = serialize($obj);

// Unserializing the string object
var_dump(unserialize($serializedStr));
?>
Output
I am from __wakeup() method
object(Sleep_Wakeup)#2 (1) {
 ["resource"]=>
 resource(5) of type (stream)
}
Difference between the __sleep() Method and __wakeup() Method:
S.No
 __sleep() Method
 __wakeup() Method
 1
It is used when we want to serialize an object.
It is called when we want to de-serialize an object
 2
The serialize() method will always check whether the program contains __sleep method or not before execution.
The unserialize() method will always check whether the program contains __wakeup method or not before execution.
 3
It is used in cleaning up pending tasks.
It is used in re-establishing the database or any other connection that has been lost during the serialization process.
 4
It simply cleans the object and returns an array with all the variables present in that class instance which is serialized.
It simply re-creates or re-constructs the object which we want to de-serialize.
 5
If __sleep presents in the code then the serialize() will always invoke the __sleep method first.
If __wakeup presents in the code then the unserialize() will always invoke the __wakeup method first.

Time-saving goods are defined as market goods that reduce home labor requirements (e.g. restaurants; washing machines). Assuming that time savings are costly, this paper shows that lower-income individuals can purchase fewer time savings and enjoy less leisure time. Commodity tax rates affecting low-income individuals should depend more on time savings, and less on the classic Corlett and Hague rule. The related literature suggests to impose lower tax rates on goods that require less home labor. This paper shows that goods that offer greater time savings with respect to their more affordable substitutes should also receive favorable tax treatment.


Windows Programming
.NET 1.1+
Setting the Foreground Window
In a previous article I described the use of the SendKeys class. This type's methods provide a last resort way to control other applications, allowing you to send keys to the keyboard buffer and have them received by the target software. One of the problems with this approach is activating the target window in the first place. A solution to this problem is to use the SetForegroundWindow function.
SetForegroundWindow is a Windows Application Programming Interface (API) function, which you can call using Platform Invocation Services (P/Invoke). The function is quite simple. It has a single parameter, to which you provide the handle of the window to be activated. The function returns a Boolean value with true indicating success and false meaning that the window could not become active. Failures can happen for several reasons, such as the window being locked or having open menus.
Declaring the Function
To demonstrate SetForegoundWindow's use we'll create a simple program that finds all of the running instances of Notepad and uses SendKeys to send them some text. To begin, create a new Windows Forms application project. We'll be using the System.Diagnostics namespace to work with processes and System.Runtime.InteropServices for P/Invoke, so add the following two using directives to the code behind the automatically generated form:
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
We can now declare the Windows API function by adding the following within the code block of the form's class:
static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
Calling the Function
Our sample program is simple. Firstly we will use the Process class's static method, GetProcessesByName, to obtain an array containing one Process object for each running Notepad. We'll then loop through each of the objects so that every Notepad instance is affected.
Within the Process class is the MainWindowHandle property. This holds the handle of the application's main window. As we are targeting Notepad this will be the correct handle, as Notepad can only include one window. We'll use the handle with SetForegroundWindow to activate each Notepad window in turn. We'll then send some text to the active window using SendKeys.
To add this functionality, start by creating a new button on the form in the form designer window. Double-click the button to add a click event and include the following code within the event's method:
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
foreach (Process process in processes)
 SendKeys.Send("Hello, world!");
You can now test the program. Start several instances of Notepad before running the program and clicking the button. You should see the text, "Hello, world!" added to each Notepad's text.

The term 'rosette' is commonly used to describe plants that grow leaves around a central growth point making a circle of layers, much the way petals unfold in a rose. Some plants that grow in a rosette look flower-like, others are less obvious. Succulents like aloes, aeoniums and agaves (Century plants) demonstrate the spiral form of growth clearly whereas the lettuce is a little harder to notice. Most plants that grow in a rosette form are neat-looking in the garden. They conform well to container growing and can be used to good effect in a formal or controlled landscape design.

Fraction interpolation walking a Farey tree
We present an algorithm to find a proper fraction in simplest reduced terms between two reduced proper fractions. A proper fraction is a rational number m/n with m1. A fraction m/n is simpler than p/q if m <= p and n <= q, with at least one inequality strict. The algorithm operates by walking a Farey tree in maximum steps down each branch. Through monte carlo simulation, we find that the present algorithm finds a simpler interpolation of two fractions than using the Euclidean-Convergent [Matula 1980] walk of a Farey tree and terminating at the first fraction satisfying the bound. Analysis shows that the new algorithms, with very high probability, will find an interpolation that is simpler than at least one of the bounds, and thus take less storage space than at least one of the bounds.

Structured Prediction Models for High-level Computer Vision Tasks
Rich statistical models have revolutionized computer vision research:
graphical models and structured prediction in particular are now commonly used tools to address hard computer vision problems. I discuss what distinguishes these computer vision problems from other machine learning problems and how this poses unique challenges.
I argue that most computer vision models are misspecified and discuss the consequences of popular estimators in this case, concluding that we either have to use non-parametric models or use estimators robust to misspecification.
As one possible solution, I propose a novel discrete random field model applicable to a large number of computer vision tasks. The model is conditionally specified, non-parametric, and able to represent complex label interactions, yet it can be trained from hundreds of images in minutes on a single machine.

Simulation of PV array with Partial Shading Effect
Simulation of PV array with Partial Shading Effect
Title: Understanding Partial Shading in Solar PV Arrays
Introduction
In this article, we will delve into the concept of partial shading in solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and explore the use of bypass diodes to mitigate its effects. Partial shading occurs when certain areas of a solar panel are blocked, reducing the amount of sunlight that can be converted into electricity. This can happen due to factors like tree shading or the presence of obstacles like papers on the panels. When shading occurs, the flow of current in the shaded portion is obstructed, potentially leading to heating of the panel. To address this issue, bypass diodes are employed in solar PV arrays.
Understanding the Role of Bypass Diodes
Bypass diodes are essential components in solar PV arrays designed to handle partial shading scenarios. When a portion of a panel is shaded, the bypass diode effectively redirects the electrical current, preventing the shaded cells from overheating and minimizing power loss. Without these diodes, shaded areas could become hotspots, leading to reduced efficiency and potentially damaging the solar panels.
Simulating Partial Shading in Solar PV Arrays
To understand the impact of partial shading on a solar PV array and the effectiveness of bypass diodes, simulations are conducted. Let's break down the steps to simulate this scenario:
Setting up the Model
To begin the simulation, we need to create a model in a simulation software or tool.
Components Required
For the simulation, you'll need the following components:
 - Solar PV Panels
 - Bypass Diodes
 - Constant Block (for specifying radiation and temperature)
 - Current Measurement Block
 - Voltage Measurement Block
 - Controlled Voltage Source (for varying load voltage)
 - Ramp Input (to simulate changing conditions)
 - Scope (for measuring current, voltage, and power)
Connecting the Components
Connect the components as follows:
 - Set up three PV panels in parallel-series configuration.
 - Add bypass diodes to manage partial shading.
 - Specify constant radiation and temperature conditions.
 - Measure current and voltage across the panels.
 - Implement a controlled voltage source with a ramp input to vary the load voltage.
 - Use a scope to observe voltage, current, and power.
Simulating Partial Shading
Now, you can run the simulation and observe the effects of partial shading on the PV array. Varying the load voltage will mimic changing conditions, allowing you to see how the bypass diodes protect the panels from power loss and overheating in shaded areas.
Conclusion
Partial shading is a common issue in solar PV arrays that can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage to panels. Bypass diodes play a crucial role in mitigating these effects by redirecting current away from shaded areas. Simulations help us better understand how these diodes work in real-world scenarios, ensuring the optimal performance of solar PV systems even under challenging conditions.

Turtle embryos find the sunny spot
Wei-Guo Du from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found that the embryos of soft-shelled turtles "bask" inside their eggs. "People usually think reptilian embryos are immobile," says Du. After all, their limbs are tiny stumps and they have few places to move to. But that doesn't stop them. Du found that the embryos can not only move, but they can snuggle up to the warmest side of their eggs.
He collected 260 eggs from a local turtle farm, placed them in individual jars and warmed them with heat lamps. The eggs were about one degree Celsius warmer on the sides closest to the lamps, and the turtles could sense this. After a few days, they had pressed up against the warmer side. When Du moved the heat lamps around, the embryos followed.
"To our knowledge, no previous study has looked for this ability, presumably because embryos were thought incapable of such behaviour," says Du.
Another good example of why scientists should provide images or video with their papers as often as possible. I would have skipped right over this if not for that great photo.
