Purdue College of Agriculture joins $30.8 million USDA Food for Progress project to address root causes of migration in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue's College of Agriculture has been selected to serve as the university partner on a new, five-year U.S. Department of Agriculture Food for Progress project in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The Agricultural Trade and Climate Smart Innovations project will address root causes of migration by focusing on boosting economic growth in the region through the enhanced production of fruits and vegetables for trade. The Washington, D.C.-based organization Improving Economies for Stronger Communities will lead the grant. Purdue's Office of International Programs in Agriculture will coordinate and manage Purdue's contributions, which will focus on science- and risk-based sanitary and phytosanitary measures in strategically selected horticultural value chains with U.S. and regional market linkages.
"This project aims to foster growth in the agricultural sectors of these countries, creating opportunities for the populations most likely to migrate, including youth, women and minority groups," said Gerald Shively, associate dean and director of International Programs in Agriculture and principal investigator for the project. "Purdue's contributions in the areas of horticultural production and agricultural risk management draw on deep expertise and experience provided by multiple departments in the College of Agriculture."
The project team will primarily work with private sector partners and various Central American government offices, including ministries of agriculture and departments of plant and animal health. Purdue will also contribute short-term technical assistance throughout the project.
"One exciting opportunity is the chance to develop and improve technologies for more rapid pest detection and identification," according to Christian Cruz, professor in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology and a co-principal investigator. "Innovations in this area are important not only for the region in which we will be working but also for identifying and controlling pests and diseases here in Indiana."
The first steps for the Purdue team will be to participate in agricultural value chain assessments during the upcoming summer. Working with local partners, these assessments will consider the diverse agroecologies, socioeconomic conditions and cultures of the project's target geographies to finalize value chain selection and provide recommendations for project interventions.
"Opening new doors to collaborate with universities in the region is a major motivation for us," said Peter Hirst, professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture and assistant director of International Programs in Agriculture. "The project will also provide long-run benefits to consumers here at home. This work will help to improve the safety of the foods we purchase. For example, Guatemala is a well-established supplier of off-season vegetables and berries to the U.S. market."

The impact of a criminal charge on your college career
The impact of a criminal charge on your college career
| Jun 9, 2020 | Drug crimes |
For many young adults, getting into college may seem like an achievement in and of itself. However, quite a few people have to work hard to find ways to pay for college, and many students who start don't finish.
Some aspiring collegiates will drop out because of the academically-rigorous requirements of higher education. Others will have no choice but to set aside their desire for a degree when they wind up facing criminal charges.
College can present opportunities to get in trouble
For many students, their time in college is when they learn about themselves by experimenting with drugs and alcohol, pursuing brief romantic relationships and generally making as many mistakes as possible. Learning from those mistakes and experiments can help turn a young adult into a responsible and contributing member of society.
Although college can be a time of social experimentation and personal growth, drinking, drugs and intense interpersonal interactions can all potentially result in criminal charges. College students may have disproportionately more serious consequences when compared with the average young adults if they get arrested and charged with a crime.
A conviction can affect your enrollment
Depending on the school and program that you enrolled in, there may be specific behavioral requirements or restrictions that affect your ability to enroll. Some colleges have student handbooks that forbid any kind of criminal activity, while others have more vague policies that may require a hearing for those convicted of a crime.
Some schools will end their in-house financial aid for a student with a criminal conviction, while others may rescind their offer of enrollment for that student, end their eligibility for athletics or even require that a student find off-campus housing in order to remain enrolled.
Criminal convictions can affect scholarships and other financial aid
Paying for college is a massive challenge for many young adults. Scholarship, subsidized loans, grants and work-study programs to help make college tuition a feasible expenditure for many people enrolled in college.
Unfortunately, many kinds of convictions, including drug convictions, can prevent someone from receiving federal student aid, sometimes indefinitely. Defending yourself against allegations now will protect your enrollment in college and your ability to pay for your education.

The Cone of Montmorency, as It Appeared in 1829, 1833 Cockburn, James Pattison etching and aquatint hand-coloured with watercolour and gum arabic on ivory wove paper 55.4 x 73.4 cm; plate: 51.8 x 70.7 cm
This picturesque winter view of the Montmorency Falls depicts a gathering of early Quebecers at the base of the sugar mountain. The snow-draped cone, which was formed by the Falls, attracted many visitors from Quebec and neighbouring areas. Both military personnel and the civilian population made it their goal to visit the site during their winter outings. Many used the occasion to slide down the slopes. Peter Patterson owned the buildings at the top of the hill and the two sawmills to the left.

Topic: How to use sensor signal trigger/stop code execution? (Read 384 times) previous topic - next topic
Hi I am very new to Arduino, so please excuse the simplicity of my question.
I try to do this:
Read 1st. Proximity sensor signal, then trigger/start my code execution, once get 2nd. Proximity sensor signal, then stop my code execution, and do something else, such as rotate stepper motor 500 rev.
Could somebody give me similar example to achieve this?
Thanks very much in advance.
You need a state variable:
Code: [Select]
byte started = 0
if sensor is triggered then
 started = 1 - started
if started then
 do stuff that doesn't use large delays()

VELUX Daylight Visualizer is a professional lighting simulation tool for the analysis of daylight conditions in buildings.
It is intended for use in the early design phase of a building to inform architects and engineers about the impact of various design choices on daylight performance. With Daylight Visualizer you can take more informed decisions about daylight performance in your architectural design:
- it calculates the amount of daylight that will be available inside a building space
- it can be used to optimise the daylight situation, for instance in a refurbishment project
- it visualises the appearance of daylight with photo-realistic images, quantifies the amount and distribution of daylight with false color images
- it visualises how daylight situation is perceived under different CIE (The International Commission on Illumination - the Commission Internationale de
l'Eclairage) sky conditions.

OptimMethod
OptimMethod
OptimMethod is used to update model gradient parameters.We have defined SGD method, Adagrad method, etc. Details about those optim methods, you can refer to Optim-Methods. Now, method construct parameters(e.g."learningRate") and internal training parameters(e.g."epoch") store in optim method instead of state(since version 0.2.0). Here is mainly to describe how to use those methods when training.
Set method
scala
optimizer.setOptimMethod(method : OptimMethod[T])
python
optimizer = Optimizer(
 model,
 training_rdd,
 criterion,
 optim_method,
 end_trigger,
 batch_size)
in python, you can set optim method when creating an optimizer.
Sometimes, people want to apply different optimization algorithms for the submodules of the neural network model. BigDL provide a method to set optimMethod for submoduels by submodules' name.
scala
val optimMethods = Map("wide" -> new Ftrl[Float](), "deep" -> new Adagrad[Float]())
optimizer.setOptimMethods(optimMethods)
python
optimMethods = {"wide": Ftrl(), "deep": Adagrad()}
optimizer.setOptimMethods(optimMethods)
Save method
method.save(path: String, overWrite: Boolean = false)
T: path to save method
overWrite: whether to overwrite or not
When training, you can use optimizer.setCheckPoint(for scala) or optimizer.set_checkpoint(for python) to save methods at regular intervals.
Load method
scala
val method = OptimMethod.load(path : String)
path: file of optim method path
python
optimizer = OptimMethod.load(path, bigdl_type="float")
bigdl_type: type of optim method, default is "float"
Scala example
Here is an example to train LeNet5 model with a loading method.
val trainingRDD = ...
val valRDD = ...
val batchSize = 12
val methodPath = ...
// Load optim method
val method = OptimMethod.load(methodPath)
// Create an optimizer
val optimizer = Optimizer(
 model = LeNet5(classNum = 10),
 sampleRDD = trainingRDD,
 criterion = ClassNLLCriterion(),
 batchSize = batchSize
).setValidation(Trigger.everyEpoch, valRDD, Array(new Top1Accuracy), batchSize)
 .setEndWhen(Trigger.maxEpoch(15))
optimizer.setOptimMethod(method) // set optim method
optimizer.setCheckpoint(param.checkpoint.get, checkpointTrigger) // set checkpoint to save model and optim method
val trainedModel = optimizer.optimize()
Python example
Here is an example to train LeNet5 model with SGD method.
train_data = ...
test_data = ...
batch_size = 12
optimizer = Optimizer(
 model=lenet_model,
 training_rdd=train_data,
 criterion=ClassNLLCriterion(),
 optim_method=SGD(learningrate=0.01, learningrate_decay=0.0002), # set optim method
 end_trigger=MaxEpoch(15),
 batch_size=batch_size)
optimizer.set_validation(
 batch_size=32,
 val_rdd=test_data,
 trigger=EveryEpoch(),
 val_method=[Top1Accuracy()]
)
optimizer.set_checkpoint(EveryEpoch(), checkpointPath) # set checkpoint to save model and optim method
trained_model = optimizer.optimize()

With the recent passing by parliament of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, 1998 (Act 120 of 1998), it is now possible to increase the coverage of registered marriages and divorces in South Africa. In the past, since certain unions were legally not recognised, the marriage statistics collected by the Department of Home Affairs excluded a large proportion of marriages, for example customary marriages among Africans. However, the passing of legislation on its own is a necessary but not sufficient condition to ensure that customary marriages are indeed registered. The aim of the paper is to explore ways of making sure that these marriages in particular and marriages in general, are adequately registered. The paper starts by outlining the relevance of statistics on marriages and divorces, drawing from published literature. This is followed by a discussion on registration issues and the challenges to be faced in trying to improve the registration of marriages and divorces. The paper ends with a discussion followed by a conclusion.

Hugtandalf means 'fanged elf' in Dutch. The hugtandalfers originated in Palisphor, a secret eden for mythical creatures of all kinds. Hugtandalfers are able to use magic as an elf may use it, except their power isn't near as strong. Though they cannot harness the power of magic like an elf, no one knows the extent of hugtandalf magical ability. They have two pairs of fangs, one in the front of their mouths and one pair in back. The front fangs inject a powerful sleeping toxin which can knock out a human for several hours. The back fangs kill instantly. Each hugtandalf can morph into an animal of small, medium, and large size. For example, a hugtandalf's small animal may be a silver tabby house cat, their medium a lynx, and their large a white tiger. Hugtandalfs age much more slowly than a human, and can live for tens of thousands of years. The oldest hugtandalf on record was more than 40,000 years old. The first hugtandalf was born by a vampire father and an elf mother. Hugtandalfers are often mistaken for humans. The only physical difference is the fangs, and hugtandalfs' ears are slightly pointed. Their blood is a transparent, silvery color, and is thicker than that of humans. The most famous hugtandalfers include: Kylan, Marea, Alssa, and perhaps the greatest, Jace.
(Palisphor is another reality, untouched by human influence. It is refuge for all mystical creatures; excluding demons.)


Quantum ESPRESSO (pw) & phono3py calculation
Quantum espresso package itself has a set of the force constants calculation environment based on DFPT. But the document here explains how to calculate phonon-phonon interaction and related properties using phono3py, i.e., using the finite displacement and supercell approach.
An example for QE (pw) is found in the example-phono3py/Si-QE directory.
To invoke the QE (pw) interface, --qe option has to be always specified:
% phono3py --qe [options] [arguments]
When the file name of the unit cell is different from the default one (see Default unit cell file name), -c option is used to specify the file name. QE (pw) unit cell file parser used in phono3py is the same as that in phonopy. It can read only limited number of keywords that are shown in the phonopy web site (_URL_
 1. Create supercells with displacements
 % phono3py --qe -d --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in
 In this example, probably 111 different supercells with displacements are created. Supercell files (supercell-xxx.in) are created but they contain only the crystal structures. Calculation setting has to be added before running the calculation.
 2. Run QE (pw) for supercell force calculations
 Let's assume that the calculations have been made in disp-xxx directories with the file names of Si-supercell.in. Then after finishing those calculations, Si-supercell.out may be created in each directory.
 3. Collect forces
 FORCES_FC3 is obtained with --cf3 options collecting the forces on atoms in QE (pw) calculation results:
 % phono3py --qe --cf3 disp-00001/Si-supercell.out disp-00002/Si-supercell.out...
 or in recent bash or zsh:
 % phono3py --qe --cf3 disp-{00001..00111}/Si-supercell.out
 disp_fc3.yaml is used to create FORCES_FC3, therefore it must exist in current directory.
 1. Calculate 3rd and 2nd order force constants
 fc3.hdf5 and fc2.hdf5 files are created by:
 % phono3py --qe --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in --sym-fc
 2. Calculate lattice thermal conductivity, e.g., by:
 % phono3py --qe --dim="2 2 2" -c Si.in --pa="0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0 1/2 1/2 1/2 0" \
 --mesh="11 11 11" --fc3 --fc2 --br

Voice Lessons is an electronic, audio device that interrogates the popular myth that every musical instrument imitates the human voice. Touching the screen allows the participant to manipulate the visuals and vocalizations of the "voice teacher" as he recites vocal warm up exercises.
The piece resides in the space between a musical instrument and voice lesson. Move the touch point left, right, up, and down to explore the visual and auditory possibilities. Rapid high pitched loops occur while touching near the top of the screen while lower pitched longer loops are heard near the bottom.
The actor, also named John Keston, is the artist's retired father who became a voice teacher after a long career on stage in plays, operas, and musicals with the Royal Shakespeare Company in his native country England and abroad.

Borough completes temporary repairs to storm-damaged infrastructure
December 17, 2020
By Ceri Godinez
The Haines Borough finished temporary repairs to public infrastructure on Friday, Dec. 11 and is transitioning to long-term repair planning, according to public facilities director Ed Coffland.
Coffland said the first step is identifying the projects. "Some of the major ones are Young Road and Cathedral View and up on top of Piedad," he said. He said a big part of redesigning the roads will involve making sure the drainage structures are large enough to accommodate runoff from heavy rains.
"This isn't the first time the stormwater collection system has been overtaxed and we've had washouts. It seems to happen every fifteen to twenty years," Coffland said. "We should be designing whatever we rebuild so that it's a little more realistic for weather trends."
Warmer, wetter winters are an increasing trend in Southeast Alaska, according to National Weather Service scientists.
Coffland said he hopes to include hydrological analysis in the road repair process, which will take into consideration where stormwater is likely to collect, and what the peak water flow and duration might be at a given site during a period of heavy rainfall.
Another potential project involves improvements to inflow for the sewer treatment plant to keep stormwater out. At present, during periods of rain, water leaks into the sewer system.
"We had at least ten times the amount of flow that we would normally take into the treatment plant during the storm (earlier this month)," Coffland said.
The system had more water in it than the facility could treat, so some of it had to be diverted directly into the ocean. "It was relatively clean sewage, mostly groundwater, but we don't want to do that," he said.
Alaska engineering firm proHNS is doing pro bono work for the borough, identifying projects and coming up with initial designs, but bringing these projects to completion will take time and money, Coffland said.
He said the borough is in communication with the state regarding potential funding sources. On Dec. 5, Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed a disaster declaration for Southeast Alaska making state assistance available for public infrastructure repairs and initiating the process for requesting federal assistance.
The Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has staff on the ground in Haines working with the community to collect damage assessment information, including repair costs and emergency response costs, according to public information officer Jeremy Zidek.
Zidek said he doesn't have a specific timeline for the damage assessment phase. It takes time and involves collecting information from communities across Southeast. Once the data is collected, it will be submitted to FEMA and used to determine whether federal assistance will become available for public facilities.
Coffland said another potential funding source could be U.S. Federal Highway Administration funding channeled to the borough through the Chilkoot Indian Association.
Coffland said he hopes to have at least some of the long-term repair projects ready for construction come springtime.

[0023] Step 4. Calculate △L=L-L 0 And △b=b-b 0 The value of
[0024] Step 5. Determine whether the quality of the package oil is qualified by the following method: △L> -2.0 and △b> -2.0, judged as qualified, △L≤-2.0 and △b≤-2.0, judged as unqualified.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] Weigh 0.78g of the evenly stirred coating oil raw material into 200g of DAP, mix well, measure with a colorimeter, and read L and b values. Comparing with the DAP sample without coating oil and calculating it, it can be judged whether the quality and color of the coating oil of this batch are qualified.
[0027] The test data of DAP without oil package is shown in Table 1:
[0028] Table 1, L of DAP without oil 0 And b 0 Value of
[0029] L0

Principal Issues: 1. Who can claim a share of the qualifying expenditures incurred for common areas of a strata where there is a change in ownership of the strata unit during the HRTC eligibility period - the previous owner or the current owner?
2. How are the qualifying expenditures allocated between the previous owner and the current owner of the unit, if a unit changes its owners during the HRTC eligibility period?
Position: 1. Both, the previous owner who sold the unit and the current owner who bought the unit, may claim their share of the qualifying expenditures incurred by the strata council while they were the owner of the strata unit, providing all of the HRTC requirements are otherwise met.
2. Generally, the qualifying expenditures incurred for common areas are allocated to strata unit owners based on the governing documents and/or special resolutions of the strata corporation.

Do three dog effigy pots excavated in Georgia in the 1930s at the Bull Creek Site and one from the Neisler Mound site represent the Chihuahua breed, a native dog of Mexico? Is the tribe most likely associated with these pots the Kasihta/Cussetta Creek Indians whose migration legends strongly suggest an origin in west Mexico, likely the state of Colima which is also known for similar dog effigy pots?
Did the Kasihta raise Chihuahuas for food which they fattened up for this purpose as depicted by the pots and as recorded by early Spanish eye-witness accounts? Finally, does this evidence overturn all the conjecture and theories of possible Old World influence on the origin of the Chihuahua and prove that it is purely a New World dog that dates back at least to 100 AD in Mexico?
In 1937 archaeologists unearthed three dog effigy pots from the Bull Creek site in Muscogee County, Georgia. The final report on the site only devoted a few paragraphs to the discussion of these pots. The first discussion stated:
"Bottles from the Bull Creek site consist entirely of mortuary vessels…This category includes three bottles commonly known as the Bull Creek cemetery dog pots. Figure 156 shows the three vessels and three examples of similar vessels from other sites in the region. The three vessels from Bull Creek and the one vessel from Neisler Mound are considered the only known examples of this one type of negative painted dog effigy vessel."1
The dog pots were next discussed in the pottery types section of the report:
"The dog pots from Bull Creek included two varieties of painting. The two vessels from Burials 3 and 7 exhibited red spiral designs on a buff background. The third exhibited a black pattern on a reddish background. A third vessel is most similar to a dog pot recovered from Neisler Mound (see Figure 156).
In 1979 the Bull Creek negative painted pottery was given the type name Nashville Negative Painted variety Columbus and was considered a local copy of similar vessels from the northwest (Williams 1979). More recently Scarry gave the Bull Creek pots a new type status as Columbus Negative Painted variety Columbus (Scarry 1985:213).
Schnell has noted on several occasions that only four examples of the Bull Creek varieties of negative painted dog pots are known to exist (Schnell 1990:69). This conclusion has been reaffirmed through communications of both Schnell and the senior author with individuals knowledgeable of the antiquities market in the region. The recovery of three-fourths of the known examples of this vessel form from a single site, Bull Creek, does represent a unique occurrence."2

Costa Dorada Weather April Averages, Spain
What's the weather like in Costa Dorada in April?
April begins a true warm up for both overnight lows and afternoon highs and also begins a great time to visit Spain. With warming temperatures and a drier period on the way, vacationers may expect to pay a little more for both hotels and also flights. These higher prices may also get extended to other areas such as restaurants as well.
While temperatures are warming on land, the sea is also beginning to catch up. After several months of consistent temperatures, the average sea temperature in April has climbed to 15°C (59°F). This is still too cool for many people, however, a few brave souls may decide to head out to the waves with the help of a wetsuit.
Meanwhile, on land, both overnight lows and afternoon highs are beginning to warm with summer just around the corner. Vacationers may still want to pack something lightweight but warm for the early morning hours and consult an extended forecast before leaving home. The average afternoon high for the month in Costa Dorada is a pleasant 20°C (68°F). This is warm enough for short sleeves especially when visitors can also spend some time in the 11 hours of sunshine that is expected each day. Temperatures first thing in the morning will bottom out at 10°C (50°F). These temperatures are much warmer than what they were just a few months ago. Overall, the average daily temperature is 15°C (59°F) at this time of the year.
Rainfall continues to be hard to come by as only 30mm of precipitation are expected over the course of the month. This rain falls over an average of 5 days and there is only a 20 percent chance of rain for the time period. Clouds and rain are short lived as the chance of a sunny day is still 100 percent.

Things to do in Costa Dorada in April
Costa Dorada's population is predominantly Catholic. Naturally, the people here place great emphasis on Holy Week which usually falls on the last week of March or the first week of April. Processions are held from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and with only 5 days of rain in the month, there is a good chance the celebrations will be dry.
Dansa de la Mort
Verges, a municipality situated in the North of Catalonia, is famous for its Dansa de la Mort held every Holy Thursday. Down south in the city of Tarragona the highlight of the Holy Week celebration is the procession of the Holy Burial on Good Friday. Penitents, religious devotees, people dressed as Nazarenes and Romans and other characters in the Holy Burial procession will be walking to the beat of drums through the streets of Tarragona.
Meanwhile, the town of Olesa de Monstserrat is renowned for its La Passio de Olesa or Passion Play. In 1996, 726 persons acted onstage at the same time during the Passion Play so you can just imagine how the people here put all their hearts into the occasion. Esparaguerra, a town in Catalonia is also famous for its play (La Passio d'Esparreguera) depicting the life and passion of Jesus Christ.
Diade de Sant Jordi
On the 23rd of the month, the cities, towns or counties of Catalonia celebrate the Diada de Sant Jordi. St. George is the patron saint of Catalonia and on his feast day the men give red roses to the women while the latter give books to the men. This is like Valentine's Day in April where everyone is in a loving mood and of course, the bookshops and flower shops are full.

Amethyst Star and Lyra Heartstrings, two unicorn ponies in Canterlot
Unicorns are one of several kinds of ponies that live in Equestria. They are characterized by their horns and their ability to perform magic.
Unicorns were introduced after Earth ponies in the original My Little Pony toy line. In previous animated series, they had the ability to teleport magically or "wink out", but did not ordinarily have any other magical abilities.
Unicorns originate from the writings of Helenistic Period of Greek history. They were considered to be part of India's native fauna. During the Middle Ages, unicorns were linked to several animals, among them the rhinoceros, the oryx and the mammoth. Medieval legends relate that unicorns permitted virgins to ride on their backs, while subsequently killing imposters. In modern times unicorns have become associated with magic and beauty. Monoceros (Latin: Unicorn) is a constellation in the celestial equator, and one of the 88 modern constellations.
Depiction in the series

Main article: Alicorns
Faust intended Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to be the only Alicorns.[1] They are called unicorns in the prologue in Friendship is Magic, part 1, and Luna is called a "Pegasus unicorn" on Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page.[2] On merchandise, the princesses are called "Pony Princesses," including Princess Cadance; in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1, Twilight Sparkle contrasts Cadance being a "princess" with herself being a "regular old unicorn"; the script for A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2, when naming Queen Chrysalis for the first time, refers to her as a "pegacorn". Despite these other terms, storyboard artist Sabrina Alberghetti calls the princesses "alicorns".[3][note 1] In Magic Duel, the word "Alicorn" is used for the first time in reference to an amulet depicting a Pegasus unicorn. Twilight Sparkle's transformation and subsequent reappearance to her friends in Magical Mystery Cure is the first time any character is directly referred to as an Alicorn in the show.
Unicorn magic
Twilight unleashes her magic S1E06
Twilight Sparkle exerting herself to manipulate large objects over a long distance with telekinesis.
Lauren Faust has stated that Earth ponies and Pegasi have passive forms of magic, but unicorns can actively perform magic.[4] In a retelling of the history of Equestria in Hearth's Warming Eve, unicorns controlled the sun and moon before the rule of Celestia and Luna.
A common ability among unicorns is using telekinesis to levitate or move objects, as seen with Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Trixie, and various background unicorn ponies. The ability to cast other spells varies widely and sometimes depends on the unicorn's special talent. Unicorn magic requires concentration and effort, as Twilight explains to Spike in Feeling Pinkie Keen and to Apple Bloom in Call of the Cutie. In Lesson Zero, Twilight says she needs a line of sight with an object to undo the spell she cast on it.
Colors of magic auras
 - Twilight Sparkle's magic aura is magenta, the color of the large star in her cutie mark.
 - Rarity's magic aura is blue, matching both her eyes and her cutie mark, though her aura is a lighter shade.
 - Flim and Flam's magic auras are both colored green, matching their eyes and not their cutie marks.
However, some characters' magical aura matches neither their eyes nor their cutie mark. This is the case with Trixie, whose magic aura is pink while her eyes are purple and her cutie mark is mostly blue or blue-gray.
During season one, the colors of individual characters' magic auras were often inconsistent from episode to episode; for example, Princess Celestia's magical glow varies throughout season one but is consistently yellow in Lesson Zero and A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 as well as in season four's new opening sequence. Rarity's aura is blue in most of her appearances, but it is pink in Look Before You Sleep.
Baby unicorn magic
Pumpkin Cake chewing the toy 1 S02E13
Pumpkin Cake using magic.
The episode Baby Cakes features a little baby unicorn named Pumpkin Cake, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who uses her magic unexpectedly when Pinkie babysits her and her Pegasus twin brother, Pound Cake. Rarity cautions the other ponies at the beginning of the episode that "baby unicorns get strange magic surges that come and go," and Pumpkin Cake experiences these surges when she's able to use her magic to teleport, walk through solid objects, levitate herself and other objects, and break the locks and chains that Pinkie put around the toy chest.

ProcedureHow to Set Up a Slave Server
 1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
 2. Edit the /etc/hosts or /etc/inet/ipnodes file on the slave server to add the name and IP addresses of all the other NIS servers.
 3. Change directory to /var/yp on the slave server.
 Note –
 You must first configure the new slave server as an NIS client so that it can get the NIS maps from the master for the first time. See Setting Up NIS Clients for details.
 4. Initialize the slave server as a client.
 # /usr/sbin/ypinit -c
 The ypinit command prompts you for a list of NIS servers. Enter the name of the local slave you are working on first, then the master server, followed by the other NIS slave servers in your domain in order from the physically closest to the furthest in network terms.
 5. Determine if the NIS client is running, then start the client service as needed.
 # svcs network/nis/client
 STATE STIME FMRI
 online 20:32:56 svc:/network/nis/client:default
 If svc:/network/nis/client is displayed with an online state, then NIS is running. If the service state is disabled, then NIS is not running.
 1. If the NIS client is running, restart the client service.
 # svcadm restart network/nis/client
 2. If the NIS client is not running, start the client service.
 # svcadm enable network/nis/client
 6. Initialize this machine as a slave.
 # /usr/sbin/ypinit -s master
 Where master is the machine name of the existing NIS master server.
 Repeat the procedures described in this section for each machine you want configured as an NIS slave server.


Utility determines what runs automatically at startup
With Windows there isn't one central location where programs can be triggered to run automatically at startup or login. A utility called Autoruns solves this dilemma.
One common complaint about Windows is that there is no one central location where programs can be triggered to...
run automatically at startup or login.
To be fair, this complexity is unavoidable because of the number of things that depend in some way on a startup process: the shell, the user login, the system's auto-started services and programs that need to run after login to complete an installation process. Most of the programs that have allowed a user to explore what's started automatically by the system have been limited to a few Registry locations, but don't really cover the whole picture.
Now we have Autoruns, a utility courtesy of the geniuses at Sysinternals, Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. Autoruns scans all of the locations within the system Registry that contain information about programs started automatically at boot or login, and returns them all in a comprehensive, interactive and tab-organized report. The reports list Registry entries as well as paths to the executable image (if any) referred to in that entry.
Here's a quick overview of the categories Autoruns covers:
Logon: Everything that runs when the current user logs in, including the shell itself (typically explorer.exe).

Explorer: Extensions loaded into Explorer itself, which includes shell extensions. If you hide all Microsoft-signed extensions (one of the program's options), you can see a list of all third-party shell add-ons -- useful for debugging problems with Explorer that can arise if a troublesome shell extension is installed and never removed correctly.
Internet Explorer: Extensions loaded by IE. If you hide all Microsoft-signed code, you can use this list to determine if an allegedly removed third-party add-on is still present in IE and causing problems -- or if there are third-party add-ons you never authorized to be installed.

The Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is a living history museum located in beautiful Ridley Creek State Park. The museum strives to represent and recreate the every day lives of the regular citizens who lived in Southeastern Pennsylvania from 1760 to 1790. The 112 acre farm is dubbed a plantation according to land descriptions of the time. Holdings under 100 acres were described as farms, those over 100 acres as plantations, and those over 1000 acres as manors.
Costumed interpreters, livestock, and restored and reconstructed buildings all serve to take you back in time and help you to experience how most people in this area lived during the end of the colonial period.
During your self-guided tour you are invited to talk to our interpreters and you may even be able to join in the work. Everyone will find something they enjoy at Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation where the past is your present.


How do I remove and replace a laptop key or keycap?
Note: This document is also meant for general reference and may not apply to your laptop. If you have a desktop computer, see removing keys from a desktop keyboard steps.
Notice: Before removing any of the keyboard's keys, make sure the computer is turned off, or at the very least locked so nothing is mistakenly typed as it could cause other problems.
Removing keycap
 1. Laptop keyboard key retainerTo remove the keycap from a keyboard place your finger nail, small flat-head screwdriver, or knife under a corner of the key and gently pry the keycap up and away from the laptop.
 2. In many situations, the key only snaps out partially. If the keycap is still attached to the laptop use your fingers to remove the keycap completely.
 3. Once removed you should see the key retainer (scissor-switch) still attached to the laptop with the pad in the middle. If needed, this too can be removed from the laptop by placing the flat head of a screwdriver or a knife's edge under a corner and gently twisting until it pops off.
Replacing the keycap
Tip: If you need a new keyboard key for you laptop, has a great selection.
 1. With the key removed, carefully observe the metal hooks on the keyboard where the old key used to be.
 2. Orient the plastic hinge (new or old) so that the holes line up with the metal hooks.
 3. Insert the smaller plastic piece, usually referred to as a cup, evenly into the center of the retainer.
 4. Replace the keycap and press evenly on all four sides.

The following examples are all written in the Scala programming language, but they can all be implemented in Python with minimal changes.

Reading a partitioned dataset

To get started, let's read the dataset and see how the partitions are reflected in the schema. First, you import some classes that you will need for this example and set up a GlueContext, which is the main class that you will use to read and write data.

Execute the following in a Zeppelin paragraph, which is a unit of executable code:

%spark import com.amazonaws.services.glue.DynamicFrame import com.amazonaws.services.glue.DynamicRecord import com.amazonaws.services.glue.GlueContext import com.amazonaws.services.glue.util.JsonOptions import org.apache.spark.SparkContext import java.util.Calendar import java.util.GregorianCalendar import scala.collection.JavaConversions._ @transient val spark: SparkContext = SparkContext.getOrCreate() val glueContext: GlueContext = new GlueContext(spark)

This is straightforward with two caveats: First, each paragraph must start with the line  <tt>%spark</tt> to indicate that the paragraph is Scala. Second, the  <tt>spark</tt> variable must be marked  <tt>@transient</tt> to avoid serialization issues. This is only necessary when running in a Zeppelin notebook.

Next, read the GitHub data into a DynamicFrame, which is the primary data structure that is used in AWS Glue scripts to represent a distributed collection of data. A DynamicFrame is similar to a Spark DataFrame, except that it has additional enhancements for ETL transformations. DynamicFrames are discussed further in the post AWS Glue Now Supports Scala Scripts, and in the AWS Glue API documentation.

The following snippet creates a DynamicFrame by referencing the Data Catalog table that you just crawled and then prints the schema:

%spark val githubEvents: DynamicFrame = glueContext.getCatalogSource( database = "githubarchive_month", tableName = "data" ).getDynamicFrame() githubEvents.schema.asFieldList.foreach { field => println(s"${field.getName}: ${field.getType.getType.getName}") }

You could also print the full schema using  <tt>githubEvents.printSchema()</tt>. But in this case, the full schema is quite large, so I've printed only the top-level columns. This paragraph takes about 5 minutes to run on a standard size AWS Glue development endpoint. After it runs, you should see the following output:

id: string
 type: string
 actor: struct
 repo: struct
 payload: struct
 public: boolean
 created_at: string
 year: string
 month: string
 day: string
 org: struct

Note that the partition columns year, month, and day were automatically added to each record.

Filtering by partition columns

One of the primary reasons for partitioning data is to make it easier to operate on a subset of the partitions, so now let's see how to filter data by the partition columns. In particular, let's find out what people are building in their free time by looking at GitHub activity on the weekends. One way to accomplish this is to use the filter transformation on the  <tt>githubEvents</tt> DynamicFrame that you created earlier to select the appropriate events:

%spark def filterWeekend(rec: DynamicRecord): Boolean = { def getAsInt(field: String): Int = { rec.getField(field) match { case Some(strVal: String) => strVal.toInt // The filter transformation will catch exceptions and mark the record as an error. case _ => throw new IllegalArgumentException(s"Unable to extract field $field") } } val (year, month, day) = (getAsInt("year"), getAsInt("month"), getAsInt("day")) val cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month - 1, day) // Calendar months start at 0. val dayOfWeek = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) dayOfWeek == Calendar.SATURDAY || dayOfWeek == Calendar.SUNDAY } val filteredEvents = githubEvents.filter(filterWeekend) filteredEvents.count

This snippet defines the  <tt>filterWeekend</tt> function that uses the Java  <tt>Calendar</tt> class to identify those records where the partition columns (year, month, and day) fall on a weekend. If you run this code, you see that there were 6,303,480 GitHub events falling on the weekend in January 2017, out of a total of 29,160,561 events. This seems reasonable—about 22 percent of the events fell on the weekend, and about 29 percent of the days that month fell on the weekend (9 out of 31). So people are using GitHub slightly less on the weekends, but there is still a lot of activity!

Predicate pushdowns for partition columns

The main downside to using the  <tt>filter</tt> transformation in this way is that you have to list and read all files in the entire dataset from Amazon S3 even though you need only a small fraction of them. This is manageable when dealing with a single month's worth of data.


Differential pulley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Example of a differential pulley
A differential pulley, also called "Weston differential pulley", sometimes "chain hoist" or colloquially "chain fall", is used to manually lift very heavy objects like car engines. It is operated by pulling upon the slack section of a continuous chain that wraps around pulleys. The relative size of two connected pulleys determines the maximum weight that can be lifted by hand. The load will remain in place (and not lower under the force of gravity) until the chain is pulled.[1]
The differential pulley was invented in 1854 by Thomas Aldridge Weston from King's Norton, England.[2]
The pulleys were manufactured in collaboration with Richard and George Tangye. According to Richard Tangye's autobiography, the Weston differential pulley evolved from the Chinese windlass, with an endless chain replacing the finite length of rope. He claimed that many engineering firms conceded on the difficulty of efficiently disengaging the chain from the teeth as the pulleys turned, but his firm developed a "pitch" chain which solved the issue. Marketed as "Weston Differential Pulley Blocks with Patent Chain Guides", the pulley had good sales, namely, 3000 sets in 9 months. It was displayed in 5 sizes — from 10 long hundredweight (510 kg) to 3 long tons (3,000 kg) — at the 1862 International Exhibition in London and received a medal for "original application, practical utility and success".
An ironmonger challenged the Tangyes that the pulley had been in use for 30 years before Weston's patent but the judge, William Page Wood ruled in favour of the Tangyes because the engaging mechanism was substantially different from the one presented as evidence.[3]
The Yale Lock Company acquired the patent rights in 1876.[2]
Mode of operation[edit]
A differential pulley can lift very large masses a short distance. It consists of two fixed pulleys of unequal radii that are attached to each other and rotate together, a single pulley bearing the load, and an endless rope looped around the pulleys. To avoid slippage, the rope is usually replaced by a chain, and the connected pulleys by sprockets.
The two sections of chain carrying the single pulley exert opposing and unequal torques on the connected pulleys, such that only the difference of these torques has to be compensated manually by pulling the loose part of the chain. This leads to a mechanical advantage: the force needed to lift a load is only a fraction of the load's weight. At the same time, the distance the load is lifted is smaller than the length of chain pulled by the same factor. This factor (the mechanical advantage MA) depends on the relative difference of the radii r and R of the connected pulleys:
M\!A = \frac{2 R}{R-r} = \frac{2}{1 - \frac{r}{R}}
The effect on the forces and distances (see figure) is quantitatively:
F_\mathrm{Z}=\frac{F_\mathrm{L}}{M\!A}\quad,\quad h=\frac{s}{M\!A}\quad.
The difference in radii can be made very small, making the mechanical advantage of this pulley system very large.[4][5] In the extreme case of zero difference in radii, MA becomes infinite, thus no force (besides friction) is needed to move the chain, but moving the chain will no longer lift the load.
At the other extreme, when r is zero, the system becomes a simple gun tackle with a mechanical advantage of 2.
Comparison of a differential pulley (left) and a differential windlass or Chinese windlass (right). The rope of the windlass is depicted as spirals for clarity, but is more likely helices with axes perpendicular to the image.
The same principle is used in a differential windlass, where the connected pulleys are replaced by winches.
Calculation of mechanical advantage[edit]
In the above graphic, the four segments of the chain are labelled W, X, Y and Z. The magnitudes of their corresponding forces are FW, FX, FY and FZ, respectively.
Assuming that the chain is massless, FX = 0 because segment X is not supporting any weight.
Taking the system at equilibrium, FW and FY are equal — if they were not, the lower pulley would freely turn until they were.
Next, the downward force acting on the lower pulley equal the upward forces acting on it, so
FL = FW + FY, or 2 FW because FW = FY.
Additionally, there is no net torque or moment around the compound pulley, so the clockwise torque is equal to the anticlockwise torque:
FW R + FX r = FY r + FZ R.
Substituting FX and FY from the above equations,
FW R + 0 = FW r + FZ R.
Rearranging gives
FW = FZ · R/Rr.
As FW = F L/2,
F L/2 = FZ · R/Rr.
Finally, the mechanical advantage, F L/F Z = 2 R/Rr or 2/1 − r/R.

⌃K
3.5.1: Material Properties
The component "MatProps" lets one directly define isotropic and orthotropic materials. Use the dropdown menu at the bottom of the component to chose between ortho- and isotropic materials.
Isotropic Material Properties
Fig. 3.5.1.1: Definition of the properties of two isotropic materials via the "Material Properties" component
In Fig. 3.5.1.1 selection of the second material from the resulting list can be made (bottom right component) or selection from the default material table (top right component). Material isotropy means that the material's behaviour does not change with direction. Karamba3D uses the following parameters to characterize an isotropic material (see fig. 3.5.1.1):
"Family"
Family name of the material (e.g. "steel"); is used for selecting materials from a list.
"Name"
Name of the material (e.g. "S235"); serves as identification when selecting materials from a list.
"Elem|Id"
An element with an identifier, a string containing an identifier or a regular expression that depicts the elements that shall have the specified material.
"Color"
Color of the material. In order to see it, enable "Materials" in submenu "Colors" of the "ModelView"-component, then enable "Cross section" in submenu "Render Settings" of the "BeamView"- and/or "ShellView"-component.
"E"
Young's Modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): characterizes the stiffness of the material.
"G12"
In-plane shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): In case of isotropic materials the following constraint applies:
E/3<G12<E/2E/3<G_{12}<E/2
. In case this condition is not fulfilled, the structure may show strange behaviour.
"G13"
Transverse shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): Is the same as
G12G_{12}
in case of isotropic materials like e.g. steel. This value can be chosen independently from
EE
. In case of e.g. wood, the value may be much smaller than
G12G_{12}
.
"gamma"
Specific weight (
kN/cm3kN/cm^3
)
"alphaT"
Coefficient of thermal expansion (
1/°C1/°C
)
"ft"
Tensile strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) - a positive value
"fc"
Compressive strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) - a negative value
"S-Hypo"
Index of the strength hypothesis to be used. Use 'Expand ValueLists' from the components context menu for selecting between these options: 0: Von Mises, 1: Tresca, 2: Rankine
In case of temperature changes materials expand or shorten. "alphaT" sets the increase of strain per degree Celsius of an unrestrained element. For steel the value is
1.0E5(1.0E5=1.0105=0.00001)1.0E 5(1.0E 5 = 1.-0 10−5 = 0.00001)
. Therefore an unrestrained steel rod of length
10m10 m
lengthens by
1mm1 mm
under an increase of temperature of
10°C10 °C
. "alphaT" enters calculations when temperature loads are present.
The utilization of cross sections as displayed by the "BeamView"-component (see section 3.6.7) is the ratio of actual stress and the tensile or compressive strength respectively. In case of shells, utilization is determined as the ratio of the result of the strength Hypotheses (as computed from the stresses in the shell) and the tensil or compressive strengh (see section 3.6.11).
Cross section optimization (see section 3.5.8) also makes use of the materials stength values. For reinforced concrete this may lead to excessive cross section thicknesses since concrete cross sections are handled as though being unreinforced. In order to get useful thickness values for reinforced conrete, one needs to scale up the concrete material's tensile strength.
Orthotropic Material Properties
Material orthotropy means that the material's behaviour changes with direction. The material properties in two orthogonal directions fully characterize any orthotropic material. In Karamba3D orthotropic materials take effect only in shells. When supplied to beams, the material properties in the first direction are applied. For shells the first material direction corresponds to the local x-axis. See section 3.1.14 on how to set user defined local coordinate systems on shells.
Fig. 3.5.1.2: Definition of properties of an orthotropic material via the "Material Properties" component
In fig. 3.5.1.2 an orthotropic material gets defined using a "Material Property"-component. Besides "Family", "Name", "Elem|Id" and "Color" it expects the following input:
"E1"
Young's Modulus in the first direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"E2"
Young's Modulus in the second direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"G12"
In-plane shear modulus (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
): The value of is liable to a constraint which is further depicted below.
"nue12"
v12v_{12}
is the in-plane lateral contraction coefficient (also called Poisson's ratio): In case
v12=1v_{12}=-1
(the default) the approximate formula of Huber [8] is applied to
v21v_{21}
 calculated from
E1E_1
,
E2E_2
and
G12G_{12}
:
v12=E12.G12−E2E1v_{12}=\frac{E_1}{2.G_{12}}−\sqrt{\frac{E_2}{E_1}}
"G31"
Transverse shear modulus in the first direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"G32"
Transverse shear modulus in the second direction (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
)
"gamma"
Specific weight (
kN/m3kN/m^3
)
"alphaT1"
Coefficient of thermal expansion in the first direction (
1/°C1/°C
)
"alphaT2"
Coefficient of thermal expansion in the second direction (
1/°C1/°C
)
"ft1"
Tensile strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) in the first direction - a positive value
"ft2"
Tensile strength of the material (
kN/cm2kN/cm^2
) in the second direction - a positive value
