The Coral Reef Marine Ecology Course is an introduction to coral reef ecology, for divers interested in learning how to view the reef scientifically. This one day course is considered a prelude to the full 3 day Ecological Monitoring Program. Upon completing 2 lectures students will conduct one Reef Safari Dive to identify the indicator species that they have selected as their preferred subject. This is followed by collecting actual sample data during the EMP dive, on either Fish species, Invertebrate species or Reef Substrate types.
Coral Reef Marine Ecology
Courses takes one days
|Health for Diving|
All persons engaging in scuba diving should be of good health. We strongly recommend students check out the medical statement to ensure they are healthy enough to scuba dive. Persons that do have a history of specific illnesses may not be allowed to dive.
Must be Open Water certified to participate in this course and show Advanced level buoyancy skills
|National Park Fees|
The National Park Fees are not included. The National park fees for this course will be 600 baht for 1 day's diving. National park fees are paid directly to the national park rangers at the pier before boarding the dive boat
|Flying after Diving|
Divers must wait at least 18 hours after scuba diving prior to boarding an airplane. Not allowing enough time between the last dive and then going to altitude is potentially dangerous

Georgetown, Washington, DC
In the center of Georgetown, lying along Rock Creek is a 19th century garden park cemetery rivaled only by Boston's Mount Auburn Cemetery in graciousness and a sense of community.
Oak Hill Cemetery is a historic 22-acre cemetery and botanical garden located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It includes the Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel and Van Ness Mausoleum which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Oak Hill Cemetery was founded by Mr. William Wilson Corcoran. In 1848, he purchased 15 acres along Rock Creek from relatives of George Washington. When the Cemetery Company was incorporated by Act of Congress on March 3, 1849, Mr. Corcoran contributed the land to the Company.
James Renwick, Jr., architect of the original Smithsonian Building designed the iron enclosure and the Chapel (built in 1849) which is a representation of the finest English specimens of old Gothic chapels. The cemetery itself is a major example of the 19th century Romantic movement, the natural and not formal English garden, an acceptance and blending of nature rather than a geometrical imposition.
Because of Oak Hill's age, its history is largely 19th century, with emphasis on the Civil War. The burials and monuments are mostly for that period. All lots were sold long ago and, until recently, the only new interments possible were in the few spaces remaining in old family lots. Recently, a new project has been started to renovate the paths and walkways.

Old growth evergreen forest – (HABITAT-upland) See facts
Name of animal-plant: Old growth evergreen forest
Species name:
habitat-plants-why-kids
Plant type: HABITAT
A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal, plant, or other type of organism. The term typically refers to the zone in which the organism lives and where it can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population.
Subcategory: upland

Fact:
All animals and plants are given a species name based on a technical term in biological taxnomy. The species name consists of two words and is based on Latin.
Latin-species-two-word-chart
The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs and the second part identifies the species within the genus. In this animals case it is:


Should there be a crucifix in the sanctuary?
Full Question
Our church has a large cross with a figure of the risen Christ attached but no crucifix. Even the processional cross has the risen Christ. Shouldn't there be a crucifix near the altar?
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal instructs that there must be a cross (with a crucified corpus) on or near the altar, "positioned either on the altar or near it, and... clearly visible to the people gathered there" (GIRM 308). In the case where a crucifix is not in the sanctuary, the processional cross with the figure of Christ crucified upon it would be an option.

Organic compound rich torrefaction condensate, owing to their high water content and acidic nature, have yet to be exploited for practical application. In this study, microbial conversion of torrefaction condensate from pine wood through anaerobic batch digestion (AD) to produce methane was evaluated. Torrefaction condensate exhibited high methane potentials in the range of 430-492mL/g volatile solids (VS) and 430-460mL/gVS under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, respectively. Owing to the changes in the composition, the methane yields differed with the torrefaction condensates produced at different temperatures (225, 275 and 300°C), with a maximum of 492±18mL/gVS with the condensate produced at 300°C under mesophilic condition. The cyclic batch AD experiments showed that 0.1VSsubstrate:VSinoculum is optimum, whereas the higher substrate loading (0.2-0.5) resulted in a reversible inhibition of the methane production. The results suggest that torrefaction condensate could be practically valorized through AD.

hyperring
Contents
Contents
Idea
A hyperring is like a ring not with an underlying abelian group but an underlying canonical hypergroup.
It is a hypermonoid with additional ring-like structure and properties.
This means that in a hyperring RR addition is a multi-valued operation.
Definition
A hyperring is a non-empty set RR equipped with a hyper-addition +:R×RP *(R)+ : R\times R \to P^*(R) (where P *(R)P^*(R) is the set of non-empty subsets) and a multiplication :R×RR\cdot : R \times R \to R and with elements 0,1R0,1 \in R such that
 1. (R,+)(R,+) is a canonical hypergroup;
 2. (R,)(R,\cdot) is a monoid with identity element 11;
 3. r,sR:r(s+t)=rs+rt\forall r,s \in R : r(s+t) = r s + r t and (s+t)r=sr+tr(s + t) r = s r + t r;
 4. rR:r0=0r=0\forall r \in R : r \cdot 0 = 0 \cdot r = 0;
 5. 010 \neq 1.
We can form many examples of hyperrings by quotienting a ring RR by a subgroup GR ×G \subset R^{\times} of its multiplicative group.
A morphism of hyperrings is a map f:R 1R 2f : R_1 \to R_2 such that
 1. a,bR 1:f(a+b)f(a)+f(b)\forall a,b \in R_1 : f(a + b) \subset f(a) + f(b);
 2. a,bR 1:f(ab)=f(a)f(b)\forall a,b\in R_1 : f(a \cdot b) = f(a) \cdot f(b).
A hyperfield is a hyperring for which (R{0},)(R - \{0\}, \cdot) is a group.
Examples
Hyperfield extension of field with one element
The hyperfield extension of the field with one element is
K:=({0,1},+,) \mathbf{K} := (\{0,1\}, +, \cdot)
with additive neutral element 00 and the hyper-addition rule
1+1={0,1}. 1 + 1 = \{0,1\} \,.
This is to be thought of as the hyperring of integers modulo the relation "is 0 or not 0": think of 0K0 \in \mathbf{K} as being the integer 0 and of 1K1 \in \mathbf{K} as being any non-zero integer, then the addition rule says that 0 plus any non-zero integer is non-zero, and that the sum of a non-zero integer with another non-zero integer is either zero or non-zero.
The signature hyperfield S\mathbf{S}
Let S={0,1,1}\mathbf{S} = \{0,1,-1\} be the hyperfield with multiplication induced from \mathbb{Z} and with addition given by 0 being the additive unit and the laws
 - 1+1={1}1+1 = \{1\};
 - 1+1={1}-1 + -1 = \{-1\}
 - 1+1={1,0,1}1 + -1 = \{-1, 0, 1\}.
This we may think of as being the hyperring of integers modulo the relation "is positive or negative or 0": think of 11 as being any positive integer, 00 as being the integer 00 and 1-1 as being any negative integer. Then the hyper-addition law above encodes how the signature of integers behaves under addition.
Proposition
To each element, ϕ\phi, of Hom([X],S)Hom(\mathbb{Z}[X], \mathbf{S}) there corresponds an extended real number, Re(ϕ)[,]Re(\phi) \in [-\infty, \infty] given as a Dedekind cut. This is a surjective mapping. The inverse image of each real algebraic number contains three elements, while that of a nonalgebraic number is a singleton. For real algebraic α\alpha, the three homomorphisms from [X]\mathbb{Z}[X] to S\mathbf{S} are
P(T)limϵ0+signP(α+tϵ),t{1,0,1}. P(T) \mapsto \underset{\epsilon \to 0+} {lim} sign P(\alpha + t \epsilon), t \in \{-1, 0, 1\}.

Recently someone told me the term 'salty dog' refers to the practice of early maritime sailors taking dogs aboard ships as mascots because dogs could smell land before the sailors could see it, and would alert them when they were approaching a land mass so they wouldn't sail past it in the dark. I had no idea if the statement was true or false, so I looked it up. 'Salty dog' is indeed a nautical term, but refers to a sailor who has spent extended periods of time at sea; however, there was an early practice of rubbing salt through a dog's coat as an archaic practice to repel fleas. In theory, it probably worked because the dog, no doubt, died from sodium poisoning.
This does raise an interesting question. There is an Blues song, 'Salty Dog Blues', and the first line is, 'Let me be your salty dog, or I don't wanna be your man at all.' What do you suppose that means?

Definition of the Term "Church Key"???
From the January 1980 JFO Newsletter (by Don Bull):
In the Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins by William and Mary Morris, they explain the term "Church Key" as follows: "When I passed on through my newspaper column a question from a Maryland reader about why "the tool that punches a triangular hole in a beer can is called a church key," I received lots of explanations. Included was one amusing script - virtually a one-act play - purporting to prove that the name was coined by a pair of hung-over acolytes.
But then I had an explanation from - where else? - Milwaukee, the beer capital of the world. It seems so authentic that all other theories may now be put aside. For one thing, Mr. J. R. Oberhofer, an old-time brewery worker, pointed out that the expression church key is much older than the device that leaves a triangular hole in beer cans. Indeed, it goes back to early days of the brewing business, when beer was first dispensed in bottles. 'The expression church key is old in the brewing business,' he wrote. 'I worked in a brewery for about 35 years and everybody carried a bottle opener or church key, perhaps so called because it looked like the top end of the kind of heavy ornate key used to unlock church doors.
I am enclosing an old relic that is about 50 years old. It's made of cast iron and from its weight and appearance, you can see its resemblance to a church door key. With the coming of cans in the brewing business, the bottle opener gave way to the can opener that makes the triangular marks - but the name church key was simply transferred to the new device.' Mr. Oberhofer actually did send the cast iron bottle opener, and the evidence seems to me entirely persuasive. Thanks to him for settling a question that has puzzled me for many a year." (Editor's note from Don Bull) Thank you William and Mary Morris... I assume the reference is to a D Cast Iron Cap Lifter. Does anyone have any other theories on the origin of the term "Church Key"?
From the October 1984 JFO Newsletter, Research by Joe Young our "Tin Can Opener Man"
about Mr. J. R. Oberhofer is shared with us: Mr. Oberhofer, Sr. started at the A. Gettelman Brewing Company and returned there after Prohibition. He retired from Miller Brewing Company about 20 years ago. (Gettelman was purchased by Miller in 1961) Mr. Oberhofer was a truck driver, and in later years, worked in the garage.

Combinatorial evaluation system for thermal properties of glass materials using a vertical furnace with temperature gradient
Critical cooling rate Q for zinc tellurite glass system is
determined based on the time-temperature-transfer (T-T-T) diagrams,
which are compiled by analyzing the crystallized area in the glass
sample libraries annealed simultaneously by a furnace with
temperature gradient. This method reduces the laborious routine
work for preparation, which is needed in the conventional method.
Since the surface/volume ratio of the present samples is large,
their crystallization is mainly governed by heterogeneous
nucleation. Thus, the Q values in this study can be used as a
practical index for the glass products whose surface should be free
of being ground and/or polished, such as fire-polished lenses,
optical fibers and waveguides.

Comparing motor-vehicle crash risk of EU and US vehicles
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2018
Objective: This study examined the hypotheses that passenger vehicles meeting European Union (EU) safety standards have similar crashworthiness to United States (US) -regulated vehicles in the US driving environment, and vice versa. Methods: The first step involved identifying appropriate databases of US and EU crashes that include in-depth crash information, such as estimation of crash severity using Delta-V and injury outcome based on medical records. The next step was to harmonize variable definitions and sampling criteria so that the EU data could be combined and compared to the US data using the same or equivalent parameters. Logistic regression models of the risk of a Maximum injury according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale of 3 or greater, or fatality (MAIS3+F) in EU-regulated and US-regulated vehicles were constructed. The injury risk predictions of the EU model and the US model were each applied to both the US and EU standard crash populations. Frontal, near-side, and far-side crashes were analyzed together (termed "front/side crashes") and a separate model was developed for rollover crashes. Results: For the front/side model applied to the US standard population, the mean estimated risk for the US-vehicle model is 0.035 (sd = 0.012), and the mean estimated risk for the EU-vehicle model is 0.023 (sd = 0.016). When applied to the EU front/side population, the US model predicted a 0.065 risk (sd = 0.027), and the EU model predicted a 0.052 risk (sd = 0.025). For the rollover model applied to the US standard population, the US model predicted a risk of 0.071 (sd = 0.024), and the EU model predicted 0.128 risk (sd = 0.057). When applied to the EU rollover standard population, the US model predicted a 0.067 risk (sd = 0.024), and the EU model predicted 0.103 risk (sd = 0.040). Conclusions: The results based on these methods indicate that EU vehicles most likely have a lower risk of MAIS3+F injury in front/side impacts, while US vehicles most likely have a lower risk of MAIS3+F injury in llroovers. These results should be interpreted with an understanding of the uncertainty of the estimates, the study limitations, and our recommendations for further study detailed in the report.

Do formula 1 cars have brake lights? Is this something you have ever wondered about as an F1 fan?
I know this is intriguing to you and millions of other people.
If you own a car, you know it has brake lights. If you do not have your own car yet, it is possible you are aware and have seen brake lights on other road cars.
But, do F1 cars have lights and have you seen them on the track?
Brake lights are an important part of driving experience. They are a safety feature and a tool of courtesy to other drivers when you are on the road.
When illuminated, brake lights indicate your car is slowing down or has stopped.
This gives other drivers enough time to stop or take evasive action. You can argue that brake lights also stop cars from crashing into each other on the road.
Does this work in formula one? Do formula 1 cars have brake lights?
In this article, you will learn whether formula one cars have brake lights. You will understand what the lights that flash or light up at the back do or what they mean in F1 racing.
Do Formula 1 Cars Have brake Lights?
In simple terms, formula one cars do not have brake lights.
However, I would like to point out that F1 cars have or use a hydraulic braking system. It is just that formula one cars do not have brake lights as you would expect on road cars.
The reason why F1 cars do not have brake lights is that it would be pointless to install brake lights.
Brake lights are used to alert other road users behind a car. This is very useful on the normal roads.
However, formula one cars only race at dedicated tracks or circuits. The tracks are designed to allow for top speeds on the straights and sometimes on corners as well.
In this regard, it would be redundant to have brake lights on an F1 car. Already, the drivers behind can see when the car in front is harvesting, as it flashes lights at the back.
Read More: What Does Harvesting Mean in F1?
Already, there are breaking points on the track that indicate when or where a driver should slam on the brakes.
In conclusion, formula one cars have a hydraulic braking system that works well during racing.
However, the cars do not have brake lights.
You might expect that every car should have brake light, and you would be right to have such expectations.
Formula 1 cars are not 'normal' cars. They are not used on roads as you would use your normal car.
They are used to tracks specially designed for them.
While brake lights are important in alerting the drivers behind that the car is slowing down, it would be redundant in F1.
F1 cars are looking for every space to reduce weight of the car and improve aerodynamic performance.
Since the lights do not serve any purpose in racing, F1 cars do not have brake lights.
Braking lights not do any good. In fact, some argue that they would be a dangerous distraction.
By the time a trailing F1 driver sees and reacts to braking lights, he would have rammed his car into the car in front of him.
At the moment, F1 does not have a mechanism that would elicit a human driver's reaction in time to take any evasive action based on braking lights, including braking as well.

Greater Boston is no longer one of the country's 10 largest metro areas. How did that happen?
Census reports metro Phoenix overtook Boston in population
A view of Boston's Back Bay skyline from a Brookline rooftop.
A view of Boston's Back Bay skyline from a Brookline rooftop.Lane Turner/Globe Staff
Forget the suddenly mediocre football team in Foxborough. Or the latest failed bid for the White House by a Massachusetts pol.
The region has quietly suffered an even bigger dent to its standing. For the first time in decades, if not all of US history, Greater Boston has lost its perch among the top 10 largest US metro areas. Knocked aside by the booming Phoenix metro area.
So much for Hub of the Universe.
According to US Census Bureau data released earlier this year, Boston was the 11th largest metro area in 2019 with nearly 4.9 million people living in a region that includes five counties in Eastern Massachusetts and a swath of southeastern New Hampshire. Boston had been the 10th largest metro area in recent years.
While the region's population has grown by 7 percent since 2010, it hasn't kept pace with hotter metro areas, like Phoenix, which grew by 18 percent during the same period.
Experts cite various explanations. The population of the United States has continued to shift south and west in recent decades. That migration saw Massachusetts lose a congressional seat in 2012, while states like Texas and Florida picked up seats.
Greg Slayden, who has created a web site that documents the history of US metro areas by population, said in an e-mail that there has broadly been a "strong movement of population to cities with vibrant economies, favorable climates, and room for expansion," for at least a half-century.
"Boston has a strong economy based on knowledge workers and renowned educational institutions, but the cold winters and hot summers are a minus to many people," Slayden said. "And, as an old city, it is hemmed in by existing suburban jurisdictions with long histories of land-use policies that make it hard to easily build vast new residential or commercial developments, as can be done in, say, Houston or Phoenix."
It's a far cry from 1680, when the City on a Hill was believed to be the largest community in the colonies, a rank it maintained through at least 1740, according to Slayden's site, or 1790, when Boston was the third largest American city, behind New York and Philadelphia.
Boston proper — not counting the suburbs — has fallen even further on the list of larger cities as it failed to expand its borders as aggressively as some other cities. The latest census data show that it ranked 21st in population, behind cities such as Jacksonville, Fla.; Columbus, Ohio; and Indianapolis, which didn't even exist when Boston patriots were fighting the Revolutionary War.
While Boston's metro area has continued to grow, the growth has been slower since 2017. Some of the factors behind the slow-down are typical for places throughout the US, especially in New England: a combination of rising deaths and falling births due to its aging population, said Susan Strate, a senior program manager for the population estimates program at the UMass Donahue Institute in Hadley. But more people also left the state than moved in from other parts of the country, while international immigration has slowed.
If the trend continues, warned Strate, Greater Boston could even see a population decline, something that has not happened since the 1970s, during another period of slow international immigration.
Thomas Vicino, a political science professor at Northeastern University, said while Greater Boston getting bumped from 10th to 11th is a trivial move, the region's ranking does "highlight some challenges that our region faces" and poses an obvious question: Why is the population growing more rapidly elsewhere? The region, he said, continues to wrestle with familiar and longstanding issues: a high cost of living, a shortage of affordable housing, and — at least before the pandemic — terrible traffic.
"These sorts of issues are bread and butter issues for people when they think about where they're going to live," he said.
The three biggest metro areas — New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago — have remained relatively stagnant in terms of growth in the post-World War II era. Nowadays, more growth is seen in the country's Sun Belt in places like Dallas and, yes, Phoenix.
"That's a function of where the jobs are and where people move," he said.
The good news, he said, is that the Massachusetts capital remains economically competitive and attractive to both people and jobs. The region boasts some of the world's most renowned universities and research hospitals, along with one of the country's biggest biotech hubs.
"It's a moment to reflect on what national trends we see and what we do to keep our region competitive in the future," Vicino said.


Agglomerates for Next GEneration Lignin-United Steelmaking (ANGELUS)
The Swedish steel industry aims to produce fossil-free steel for the global market in the future. Great efforts are being made to optimise the use of resources and make use of the inevitable side streams that arise. Lignin, a high carbon by-product of the pulp/paper industry, has underutilised potential as a carbon source and as a binder for side streams in the steel industry. This study aims to develop systems using lignin as a binder to maximise the recovery of steel residues and investigate its suitability as a reducing agent for iron oxides. The study will include a comprehensive investigation, combined with design and manufacture, of lignin-based agglomerates by briquetting. Different compositions will be studied to clarify lignin's ability as a binder and suitability as a carbon source for next generation steel production. The results will be considered for industrial applicability in the steel and pulp/paper industries.

Chaotic scattering of atoms at a standing laser wave
Laboratory of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences 43 Baltiiskaya st., 690041 Vladivostok, Russia
Received: 26 December 2011
Accepted: 26 June 2012
Atoms, propagating across a detuned standing laser wave, can be scattered in a chaotic way even in the absence of spontaneous emission and any modulation of the laser field. Spontaneous emission masks the effect in some degree, but the Monte Carlo simulation shows that it can be observed in real experiments by the absorption imaging method or depositing atoms on a substrate. The effect of chaotic scattering is explained by a specific behavior of the dipole moments of atoms crossing the field nodes and is shown to depend strongly on the value of the atom-laser detuning.

The Vestfold Monitoring Project - VEMOP
The use of non-invasive methods in cultural heritage management has helped us in our mission to find, study, protect and manage archaeological sites in Vestfold and Telemark fylkeskommune. But tools such as the georadar are complex and need to be thoroughly understood in order to yield the best results possible. The Vestfold Monitoring Project takes a closer look at how environmental factors, for example precipitation and different soil types, do influence the quality of georadar data.

Full Length Research Paper
Two sets of pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different compost types (market compost, home compost and vermicompost) and their rates on growth of pot grown tomato. During the first experiment, two compost types (market and home composts) each applied at four rates (0, 200, 400 and 800 g/pot) were evaluated while during the second experiment all the three compost types including vermicompost each applied at five rates (0, 200, 400, 600 and 800 g/pot) were evaluated. The chemical compositions of the composts were analyzed using appropriate laboratory procedures. Results revealed that market compost had the highest available P, exchangeable K and total S content whereas vermicompost had the highest organic matter and total N content followed by market compost. Growth parameters increased with increasing rates of home compost and vermicompost, but decreased with increasing rate of market compost. Shoot nutrient content varied much between compost types than compost rates. Shoot nitrogen and potassium concentration was higher with the application of market compost; phosphorus concentration was higher with the application of vermicompost while sulphur concentration was the highest with the application of home compost. Growth reduction at the highest market compost application could be ascribed to higher pH and total soluble salt content, especially chloride and potassium.
Key words: Compost, salt stress, tomato, toxicity, vermicompost.
HC, home compost; VC, vermicompost; MC, market compost; OM, organic matter; N, nitrogen; Av.P, available phosphorus; Exch. K, exchangeable potassium; S, sulphur.

Optimization of Stochastic Strategies for Spatially Inhomogeneous Robot Swarms: A Case Study in Commercial Pollination
MetadataShow full item record
CitationBerman, Spring, Radhika Nagpal, and Ádám Halász. 2011. Optimization of stochastic strategies for spatially inhomogeneous robot swarms: a case study in commercial pollination. In Proceedings of IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS'11): September 25-30, San Francisco, CA, 3923-3930. Los Alamitos, Calif: IEEE Computer Society Press.
AbstractWe present a scalable approach to optimizing robot control policies for a target collective behavior in a spatially inhomogeneous robotic swarm. The approach can incorporate robot feedback to maintain system performance in an unknown environmental ﬂow ﬁeld. We consider systems in which the robots follow both deterministic and random motion and transition stochastically between tasks. Our methodology is based on an abstraction of the swarm to a macroscopic continuous model, whose dimensionality is independent of the population size, that describes the expected time evolution of swarm subpopulations over a discretization of the environment. We incorporate this model into a stochastic optimization method and map the optimized model parameters onto the robot motion and task transition control policies to achieve a desired global objective. We illustrate our methodology with a scenario in which the behaviors of a swarm of robotic bees are optimized for both uniform and nonuniform pollination of a blueberry ﬁeld, including in the presence of an unknown wind.

Initial Posy Ring in 14K White Gold or Your Choice of Color
- Gold Posy Ring Delivery
- What's a Posy?
- Reviews (0)
Make a custom posy wedding ring your own with your choice of initials or name on the ring. This ring is exclusive to Crystal Realm, and we first made it for a couple who wanted a ring with Polish lettering. After careful deliberation over the choices Mandira provided, they chose lettering in a Gaelic font on a ring decorated with a Russian motif between every two instances of letters.
You may have:
1. Three initials inscribed twice around the outside
2. Two intials inscribed three times around the outside
3. Your three initials and your beloved's three initials on the outside of the ring
4. A five letter name followed by a heart (or other symbol) around the outside of the ring (you may add a comment in the comment field when you check out)
5. A six letter name around the outside of the ring
This ring is 6mm wide, and it is available in quarter, half, and whole sizes from 4 to 12.5. It is approximately 2mm thick, meaning it is a very substantial ring. Choose from 14K white gold, shown, 14K yellow gold or 14K rose gold. 18K or platinum is available upon request.
Priced singly. Order two for a pair (choosing one size at a time and placing it in your basket).
Made exclusively by Crystal Realm in the U.S. by the time-honored lost-wax casting method.
Your gold poesy ring(s) will be hand-made to your order and will ship in four to five weeks.
Whether spelled posie, poesy, posey, or posy, the word is pronounced 'posy' and refers to a ring that was popular during medieval and Renaissance times as a gift from lover to beloved. Quotations from courtship stories were inscribed, usually on the inside, but sometimes on the outside of the ring. Shakespeare popularized the rings by mentioning them in several of his plays. In Hamlet, 'Is this a prologue or the posy of a ring?'
From the British Museum: By 1430 love rings engraved with inscriptions were known as 'posies' (from 'poesy' or poetry). In the 13th and 14th centuries the language of the posy was usually French, but from the 15th century English became increasingly common. Rings were given on many occasions. They often seem to have been declarations of love, rather than formal betrothal or marriage rings.
Another quote from the British Museum: This ring is known as a posy ring, deriving from the French 'poesie ' (poetry). Posy rings were plain hoops inscribed with mottoes or saying, that might express sentiments of faith, commemoration, friendship and love. It was an especially popular type of ring in the fifteenth century. The romantic inscriptions on posy rings suggest that they were also used for weddings.

extended abstract (STOC '97, pp 711-719, © 1997, by ACM, Inc)
journal version (submitted)
We present a randomized on-line algorithm for the Metrical Task System problem that achieves a competitive ratio of O(log^6 n) for arbitrary metric spaces, against an oblivious adversary. This is the first algorithm to achieve a sublinear competitive ratio for all metric spaces. Our algorithm uses a recent result of Bartal [Bartal96] that an arbitrary metric space can be probabilistically approximated by a set of metric spaces called ''k-hierarchically well-separated trees'' (k-HST's). Indeed, the main technical result of this paper is an O(log^2 n)-competitive algorithm for Omega(log^2 n)-HST spaces. This, combined with the result of [Bartal96], yields the general bound.
Note that for the k-server problem on metric spaces of k+c points our result implies a competitive ratio of O(c^6 log^6 k).


Almost Jigless Bicycle Frame Building

I grew up on Legos and the Whole Earth Catalog. These days: bike builder, map maker, trail sleuth.
Intro: Almost Jigless Bicycle Frame Building
This Instructable shows some basic, simple tooling to help build a bicycle frame. It's aimed for someone building their first few frames who is unable to invest the time or money into a full framebuilding jig.
Step 1: Introduction
Every person who decides to build their first frame is faced with the question: "What do I use for a jig?"
Commercial jigs start at about $1600. For the beginner this could be a huge investment - the equivalent of many bicycles worth of tubing.
There is also the option of building a jig out of 8020, such as described in my Instructable here. However, the cost on this is also not trivial, probably $350-$500, and it does require some machining work that is outside of the common garage tools.
If you ask around on the internet, many people will tell you that you don't really even need a jig, you just need a flat surface and some sort of tooling to hold your tubes at a fixed height above the surface. This is quite true, but for some people using an old pool table or maybe a surface plate is not exactly convenient, due to the size and weight.
This design and method is what I developed over building my first 5 frames. It's compact and cheap, and works by giving you a system of 3 small orthogonal flat surfaces to work with, and several means of holding tubes at the right position while you tack them.
However, since this jig is compact, you can only work on one joint at a time. This is the standard way for beginners to build, as described in the Paterek Manual. If you haven't heard of it yet, it's essentially the beginning framebuilder's bible. You can purchase it from Paterek or Henry James. The main disadvantage on this is that you never see the complete picture of the frame until you tack in the last tube. You can't set it up and then have a sanity check where you can see if it all makes sense.
I no longer have this jig, having moved on to my 8020 design, so I had to reproduce everything in SketchUp. For the sake of speed, I didn't model everything exactly to scale or try to make everything look perfect. But it should get the idea across.
If this Instructable helps you out, you can always show your appreciation through my Amazon Wish List.
Speaking of books, you might also want to check out Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza. While it doesn't cover classical framebuilding like the Paterek Manual, it does have lots of good ideas for "low road" building.
The materials are simple steel structural shapes:
1" x 1/4" bar, about 6", though get a foot since you'll eventually use it.
4"x 3" angle iron, give or take an inch in either leg, about 7-8' total
1"x 1" angle iron, another foot or so
Old rear hub axle(s) or similarly sized threaded rod and nuts
Some bolts, about M5 x 40 or whatever you have taps for.
A couple of Welder's magnets, available from Harbor Freight for cheap.
For tools you'll need a hacksaw, a drill and bits, and a tap to match your bolts.
Step 2: Base
The base is just three pieces of the angle iron welded together. You have a main piece about 4' long that serves as the flat surface you will do most of your work on.
A smaller piece, about 2' long, is welded underneath it to form a sort of Z-profile. This piece is used to clamp the jig to the front of your workbench. If you want to bolt it to your workbench you can drill some mounting holes in it.
The final smallest piece is about 8" long as is welded perpendicular to the top piece. This gives three surfaces that are all orthogonal to each other. Measure with a machinist's square to make sure the angle is 90 degrees before you weld it!
Note: when I say "weld", this includes other joining techniques such as brazing, or even drilling and bolting/riveting.
Also shown in the picture are the dummy axle and a tube lift, which are described in the next two steps.
Step 3: The Dummy Axle
The dummy axle is just a piece of the steel bar with a hole drilled in it to accept and axle. The axle is held in place by nuts on each side (not shown). You can use axles, cones, and locknuts (both quick-release and solid) scavenged from old hubs, or use threaded rod and nuts.
Since the inside of the bar is on the same vertical plane as where the right end of the bottom bracket contacts the upright reference piece, you can use it as the reference for you axle locknut locations.
Looking at the dummy axle from the rear, your left locknut will be 34mm plus half of your hub width. The right side will be half of you hub width minus 34mm. This all assumes you are using a 68mm shell.
In use, the piece is just clamped to the angle iron with a C-clamp.
Since this is so simple, you might as well make a new one for each axle size.
Step 4: Tube Lifts
These simple tube lifts are one possible way of holding a tube the required distance from the surface plane. It is just made by welding the 1x1 angle iron back-to-back with another piece. They only need to be an inch or two long.
NOTE: Since this references the OD of the tube, you will need to make them for each size of tubing! The height of the lift will need to 34mm minus half of the tube diameter (assuming you're using a 68mm bottom bracket).
Clamp them together at the right height and give them a tack weld on each side. After in cools double-check that the height came out right. If one side is off, knock off the tack and bend it to the right height and tack it again. Since this doesn't need to hold any significant weight, the tacks are all you need to hold it together.
After you finish each piece, don't forget to label them with the tubing size you built it for!
However, this isn't the only way to align the tubes, as you'll see in the next few steps.
Step 5: Joining the Bottom Bracket and Seat Tube
Usually the first step is to join the bottom bracket to the seat tube. I won't go into all the details such as mitering and drilling vent holes. Get the Paterek Manual if you need to find out more about that part of fabrication.
With a big C-clamp and some flat bar stock (not shown), clamp the bottom bracket to the jig table. Then using the appropriate sized tube lifts (also clamped to the jig as shown), line up the seat tube against the bottom bracket over the vent hole. Welder's magnets will hold it place for you to tack the tube. You also might be able to use those big spring clamps (the ones that look like big metal clothespins) to hold the tubes against the lifts.
Of course, before you tack the tube, double-check that the seat tube is parallel to both the jig face and to a straightedge lined up against the face of the bottom bracket.
After you tack it, check for parallelism again.
Step 6: The Alternate Method
The other option for this step is much simpler.
Drill and tap two holes in the jig base and thread in bolts from the bottom. When used with a couple of welder's magnet, this will hold the tube in place for tacking.
In this case, just fine-tune the height of your bolts to get the tube parallel to the jig base and the bottom bracket face.
As in the previous step, the clamp on the bottom bracket is not shown.
Step 7: Another Way to Hold a Tube
Here's another way to hold a tube at a given height that I've used.
Clamp a piece of angle iron to your base, and then clamp the tube to the angle iron upright using a metal spring clamp. You could also use a small C-clamp, if you file the flat end of the C-shaped part of the clamp to have a round profile to fit inside the tube without denting it.
Step 8: Tacking the Head Tube and Down Tube
Again skipping the mitering steps, the head tube and down tube are tacked together as shown in the Paterek manual. If you're building it lugless, this is done free-form by holding the down tube in a Park stand and using some rod or pipe in the head tube to balance it in place.
This step has nothing to do with the jig - I'm just including it for continuity. Refer to the Paterek manual for more information.
Step 9: Pieceing Together the Front Triangle
Now we will join the two halves of the front triangle together. Again, I am skipping the mitering and other steps.
At the front of the jig under where the head tube will end up, drill and tap a set of two holes to hold leveling bolts.
Using the two leveling bolts under the head tube,

Dolcan English, German|
The pipes of the Dolcan are inverted conical metal, or occasionally inverted pyramidal wood. Only a few flue stops are always made of inverted conical pipes (wider at the top than at the bottom), and the Dolcan is the most common of these. Found at 16', 8' or 4' pitch, its tone resembles that of the Dulciana, but is brighter and more open. According to Williams, the tone of the Dolcan seems to have not changed much over the centuries. Sumner calls it the precursor to the modern Dulciana. Grove dates it from around 1580 in the Netherlands and northern Germany. Audsley, who provides the illustration reproduced here, specifies a 1/5 to 2/9 mouth with a 1/5 to 1/4 cut-up, and gives the following representative scale:
While Audsley's scale has a ratio of about 1:1.3 between the mouth and top diameters, Maclean specifies the much larger ratio of 1:2.5, and states that its tone is of insufficient distinction to justify the cost of its construction.
There has been much confusion over the centuries between names such as Dolcan, Dolce, Dulciana, Dulzian, and their synonyms. Bonavia-Hunt claims that the Dolcan, Dolce and Flauto Dolce are one and the same, a soft metal flute introduced to England by Snetzler in 1741 and later popularized by Schulze, whose tone "is precisely that of a fluty dulciana... a fair imitation of an echo waldflote". Wedgwood also equates Dolcan with Flauto Dolce, calling it a flute with a "suspicion of stringiness", and says that it was introduced to England by Schulze.
Osiris contains fourteen examples of Dolcan at 8' pitch, five at 4' pitch, and one at 16'; three examples of Dolkan at 8' and four at 2' (all from the late 20th century); and four examples of Trichterflöte at 4' pitch, and one each at 8' and 2' (all from the 20th century). No examples of Dulcan, Dulzaen, Dulzain, Scharfpfeife, Tolkaan or Trichterpfeife are known.
Dolcan 8', Echo; Church of St. Bartholomew, Armley, England; Schulze 1866. This is the oldest known example.
Tolkaan 8', Positief; Dutch Reformed Church, Johannesburg Wes, Gauteng, South Africa; Ganser 1959.

Hydro-ecological Study to Determine the Hydraulic Gradient...
Title: Hydro-ecological Study to Determine the Hydraulic Gradient of Aņasco
Duration: December 1, 2008 - February 15, 2009
Problem and Research Objectives
The Municipality of Aņasco has a landfill system where non-hazardous solid waste are deposited. The landfill system requires the implementation of a management plan that identifies potential groundwater pollution problems of this water and procedures to prevent, mitigate and restore their quality. As part of the necessary information for the development of this plan is required to know the direction of groundwater flow by determining the hydraulic gradient of the aquifer system.
The main objective of the study is to determine the hydraulic gradient in the groundwater surface. Other data of interest, that can be obtained during the test pits driving, is a visual description of the material removed.
To obtain the level of groundwater is necessary the driving of different test pits in strategic locations. A minimum of five test pits are required, these test pits will be located at specific points previously discussed with the Health Department staff and its consultant, engineer Felipe Nazario. Once these levels are obtained through techniques of flow in porous media, the hydraulic gradient will be determinate and then the direction of groundwater flow.
Results and Deliverables
The product of this study is a report with the data obtained in the field and the corresponding analysis for determining the hydraulic gradient and direction of groundwater flow. The report will include a map showing the location of the water surfaces.


Connect Android device wirelessly (over Wi-Fi) to your machine
When you want to run tests on android devices, you have to connect your phone(s) to your test running machine. Adding and removing different devices to your machine is a bit of a headache and it looks messy as well. So if you want to connect your android device to your machine over Wi-Fi (wirelessly) you can do the following.
 1. First connect your device to your test machine
 2. From the command prompt/terminal, run the command
 3. adb devices (you should see the connected device to your machine)
 4. Make sure that your device and your test machine are in the same network.
 5. Run the command
 6. adb tcpip 5555
 7. You will see a message saying "restarting in TCP mode port: 5555"
 8. Disconnect the device from your machine
 9. Get the IP address of your phone (Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Your Connected Network > IP Address)
 10. You may have to long tap your network name to see the IP Address, depending on your android version
 11. Run the following command to connect adb to your device over Wi-Fi using the given IP Address
 12. adb connect <your phone's IP address>
 13. Your devices should now be connected
 14. You can verify the same by running the command
 15. adb devices
 16. Now you have connected your device wirelessly to your machine. You can run your Appium tests wirelessly.

Interview for Variables and Conditions
 "Variables and Conditions" interview with Melissa Lizmi
Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Melissa Lizmi about her CFUNITED-05
talk "Variables and Conditions". So why should a developer come to your session Melissa?
Melissa Lizmi: This session is ideal for those that are new to the CFML language or those that just
need a refresher.
We'll start by covering the simplest CF variables (page variables) and progress to the more complex
variable types such structures, arrays, and combination variables. Then we will discuss how you can
program your application to make decisions; otherwise know as conditional processing or "if/then"
statements. We'll also discuss a more efficient approach to lengthy if/then statements; the
CFSWITCH statement.
MS: So what exactly is a variable in ColdFusion?
ML: Variables in ColdFusion are much like variables in any other language, except that CF variables
are much easier to create and call.
But if you want to know what variables are in general terms. You can think of a variable as a box
that can hold a value. We give the box a name so we can easily retrieve the value. The value in
the box can remain constant or, as the name variable implies, it can change.
MS: So what kinds of things let you change a variable?
ML: Well, we can explicitly change the value of a variable with the command. Or we can use
variables to perform calculations, or values can change depending on which links our users click, or
what records are retrieved from our database. There are many ways variable values can be changed.
MS: Why would I need more complex variable types in my applications?
ML: When we find ourselves using a lot of variables in an application it is often extremely helpful
to "group" related variables together. (That's all complex variables really are, just a way to
"group" related variables.) Once we group variables, we can call and manipulate each group of
variables much greater ease than if we had created and named each variable independently.
MS: That makes sense - so what kinds of variable groups does Coldfusion have?
ML: Advanced variable types are lists, structures, arrays, combination variables (like an array of
structures), and COM (component object model) variables.
MS: I see you are also covering conditionals - what are they exactly?
ML: Conditional processing gives your program the ability to make decisions. Believe it or not,
with the help of some key commands, CFIF or CFSWITCH, your program can make decisions. We can use
the CFIF or CFSWITCH commands to code the possible conditions we might expect (like UserAge GTE 65),
then we can say (in code terms) if our condition evaluates true, we send the user to our retirement
page, or, if the condition evaluates false, we send the user to the employee page.
CF provides two main methods of implementing conditional processing.
 CFIF (CFIF/CFELSEIF/CFELSE) - basic if/elseif/else processing.
 CFSWITCH (CFSWITCH/CFCASE/CFDEFAULTCASE) - C-style switch or VB-style case commands.
MS: Sounds like a great session for beginners to CF. See you at CFUNITED!

Like the works of some of her contemporaries' novels, Jane Austen's 19th century writings are often referred to as realistic novels. Her books, such as Pride and Prejudice, use fiction to depict as closely as possible the day-to-day experiences of people in a particular time and social class. The characters in realistic novels are complex beings with multifaceted emotions who are faced with plausible, everyday challenges of their era and station in life. Other novelists of the 19th century whose works are classified in the realism category include George Eliot and Leo Tolstoy.

Literary realism is a branch of literature which set out to reflect society as it was, to get as close to the bone of real life as it could. It often depicts more humble or banal events than Romantic writers. So most of Jane Austen's novels are realist because they are fairly mundane; they depict fairly ordinary people, usually woman, doing fairly ordinary things. There are few locked room mysteries, no strange and mysterious happenings, or insane wives. The women do ordinary things like get married and the men are fairly ordinary men.
If you compare Pride and Prejudice to a novel like Jane Eyre, the differences become clear: no secret insane wives imprisoned in the home, no misplaced identities and no Byronic heroes.
In a way it could be described as less 'exciting' than Romantic novels but it is a truer reflection of society because it relies less on stylization and more on holding a mirror up to society.

text: As machine learning models become widely considered in safety critical settings, it is important to understand when models may fail after deployment. One cause of model failure is distribution shift, where the training and test data distributions differ. In this paper we investigate the benefits of training models using methods from differential privacy (DP) toward improving model robustness. We compare the performance of DP trained models to standard empirical risk minimization (ERM) across a variety of possible distribution shifts - specifically covariate and label shifts. We find that DP models consistently have a lower generalization gap across various types of shifts and shift severities, as well as a higher absolute test performance in label shift.


Opportunities for Kids to Explore Spiritual Gifts
In a previous post we talked about how helping kids learn about spiritual gifts is rooted in them understanding the gospel. It is not so much about pinpointing a specific gift as it us understanding who they are in Christ and exploring how God has made them.
Kids need opportunities to experiment and discover what God has gifted them to do. What are some ways we can provide those opportunities?
 1. Create rich service opportunities. If all our kids do is sit and passively listen, play games, go home… where will they discover the joy of serving or what God has gifted them to do? How can you put kids to work trying out different aspects of ministry? For a season we changed children's choir so that it gave kids a more hands-on experience. They were able to try out the tech side of worship ministry. Some learned instruments. Some learned how to sing in a small praise team or how to do drama. We changed the dynamic of children's choir by letting them explore gifts used in the church.
2. Provide ministry ownership for kids. If kids' whole experience at your church is to come and sit and be entertained, when will they transition to learning how they fit in that experience? Typically adults plan and implement everything the kids do. Instead of adults doing everything, how can kids be involved in natural ways? Look for ways to move away from the default of entertaining them while they are there. Instead, train them to own ministry and utilize the gifts and talents God has given them.
3. Look for special events, but also including it in the norm. The goal is not to overwhelm your already busy calendar. Don't add a million special events. Adapt what you are already doing to include opportunities for kids to serve.
4. Varied, unique experiences help kids try different things. One summer we utilized our Wednesday nights to do a different ministry project each week. One night we cleaned nursery toys and another night we delivered gifts to neighbors. We made bags for the homeless and we wrote encouraging notes to people within the church. By varying the experiences, kids were able to see what connected with them.

The High Mountain Habitats
The mountain heights of Wales may seem an
inhospitable environment, but there are some surprising species
that thrive amongst the crevices, ledges, rocks and scree slopes of
even our highest mountains.
Ledges and crevices
High mountain ledges and rock crevices are important places for
some of the rarest mountain plants, particularly where veins of
base-rich rock break the surface. Their inaccessibility to sheep
makes them a refuge for many plants with a sensitivity to
Such places include the tall-herb ledges, where the mineral-rich
water flushing through them and the shade of the north-facing
slopes create conditions suitable for species that would normally
be associated with woodland. In summer, these aptly named tall-herb
ledges can provide some of the most attractive and spectacular
displays of wild plants in the mountains. They often have the
appearance of hanging gardens, supporting plants with names such as
wild angelica, ladies mantle, globeflower and roseroot
Also well adapted to this mountain habitat are the
arctic-alpines – plants usually found in high Alpine mountains or
far north in the arctic. They are found here in Wales on the very
edge of their distribution, and include the Saxifrages, mountain
avens and moss campion.
Many of these species survive by growing in pockets of soil in
cracks and crevices. They are generally small and often hug the
rock by means of creeping stems, or by adopting a cushion shape to
minimise their exposure to strong winds. They survive in this
hostile environment because under gentler conditions they would
soon be overcome by competition from more aggressive species.
These plants would appear to be safe in their mountain refuges
but even they face challenges – from rising temperatures, acid
rain, overgrazing by sheep and the attentions of increasing numbers
of feral goats in parts of North Wales.
Scree slopes and summits
Another rocky habitat of the mountains occurs on scree slopes.
These distinctive landforms are widespread, reflecting the geology
of their parent cliffs. Where screes are unstable and acidic (the
most common type in Snowdonia), the vegetation is usually composed
of a pioneer community of parsley fern, with various mosses and
Extremes of wind and temperature on the summits of the higher
mountains mean that few plants can survive. Nevertheless, species
such as the stiff sedge and the hardy dwarf willow are virtually
confined to this high ground. The latter species is locally common
in montane heath communities in Snowdonia that are not too heavily
grazed. The small size of its stems and leaves initially give the
impression of a low-growing bilberry, but closer inspection reveals
it to be a tree in miniature.

N.H. poverty rate lowest in nation
CONCORD — New Hampshire had the lowest poverty rate among both individuals and families in the nation last year, but the rate has been rising over the past few years, according to new U.S. Census data.
In 2011, 8.8 percent of individuals - 112,700 people — were living below the poverty line, the lowest percentage in the U.S. The data found that 5.6 percent of New Hampshire families were living below the poverty line, also the lowest rate in the country.
The figures come from the American Community Survey, an ongoing survey that helps the state and federal government determine where to distribute funding.
The Granite State poverty rates were roughly half the national averages. The average poverty rate in the U.S. last year was 11.7 percent for families — more than double New Hampshire's rate — and 15.9 percent for individuals, nearly two times New Hampshire's rate.
While New Hampshire has the nation's smallest share of impoverished people, its poverty rate is actually at its highest in several years.
In fact, the rate among individuals has risen substantially since before the recession. From 7.1 percent, or 90,204 people, to the current 8.8 percent.
In 2010, the percentage of New Hampshire residents living below the poverty line was 8.3 percent, or 105,700 people. In 2009, the rate was 8.5 percent, or 109,213 people, and in 2008, the rate was 7.5 percent, or 96,041 people.
In 2011, Alaska and Vermont tied for second-lowest family poverty rate, at 6.9 percent. New Mexico and Mississippi had the highest poverty rates in the country in 2011, at 16.6 and 17.4 percent, respectively.

Find and Replace Basics
Bluefish offers a wide range of find and replace methods in the Edit menu, also available through the contextual menu within a document. Here we will explore the most basic ones. For advanced find and replace methods, see Section 5, "Find and Replace".
10.1. Searching for a word within a whole document
Choose the Edit → Find... (Ctrl+F) menu item. A Find dialog will be displayed. Enter the word (or string) to search for in the Search for: field. Then click OK.
If the search is successful, the document window scrolls up to the first occurrence of the string to search in the document and highlights it.
Below is an example of a search applied to a mediawiki document.
To find a subsequent occurrence of the string, use the Edit → Find again (Ctrl+G) menu item. If no further occurrence is found, a dialog will be displayed notifying you that no match was found.
10.2. Setting limits to the search scope
You may want to search for a string from the cursor location till the end of the document. Here is an example to search all name == occurrences within a python script from a given location.
Procedure V.2. Searching from selection
- Put the cursor where you want to start the search from in the document window
- Open the Find... dialog
- Enter your search string in the Search for: field
- Choose Current position till end from the Starts at: pop up menu
- Click OK.
Here is the result:
Notice that the search does not take into account the occurrence of the same string at line 50, since it is outside the search scope.
You can also limit the search scope to a selection range. In that case, highlight the selection before the search, and choose Beginning of selection till end of selection from the Starts at: pop up menu in the Find dialog.
10.3. Case sensitive search
By default, the search process is case insensitive. If you want to make it case sensitive, just check the Match case box in the Find dialog.
Here is the result applied to a ruby script:
Notice again that the result does not catch the XML string at line 45, since the search string was xml and case sensitive search was requested.
10.4. Overlapping searches
It may occur that the document contains some kind of palindrome you want to search for. The "normal" find process does not retrieve all occurrences of that kind of string.
In this case, you have to check the Overlap searches box in the Find dialog to retrieve all occurences of the string.
The search (with Ctrl+F, then Ctrl+G) will give the following results:
10.5. Retrieving previous search strings
Notice that the pop up menu to the right of the Search for field in the Find dialog allows you to retrieve previous search strings. They are listed in reverse order by search history, providing quicker access to the most recent searches.
10.6. More on find
For an explanation of the Bookmark results box of the Find dialog, see Section 4.1, "Generating several bookmarks at once".
You will find details on Find Again and Find from Selection in Section 5, "Find and Replace".
For a quick way of switching from HTML entities to other types of encoding and changing letter cases, see Section 5.1, "Special find and replace features".
10.7. Replacing features
The Edit → Replace... (Ctrl+H) menu item works the same way and has all the features, the Edit → Find... (Ctrl+F) menu item offers.
The Replace dialog is also accessible through the contextual menu within a document.
For the features common to the Find dialog, see 10.1, "Searching for a word within a whole document".
Here we will explain the features unique to the Replace dialog.
10.8. Retrieving previous replace strings
As for the Search for field's pop up menu, the Replace with field's pop up menu allows you to retrieve previous strings used for replace, the most recent ones being at the top of the list.
10.9. Changing letter case when replacing
If you want to change letter case when replacing, use the Replace type pop up menu.
The default choice is Normal, that is the case is not changed.
With the Uppercase replace type, the search string will be replaced with its uppercase translation.
Likewise, with the Lowercase replace type, the search string will be replaced with its lowercase translation.
Notice that in this case, the Replace with field is deactivated, thus not taken into account even if you have entered some string in it.
10.10. Choosing strings to replace
It may occur that you do not want to replace all search strings retrieved by the search process, but only some of them.
In this case, check the Prompt before replace box. A Confirm replace dialog will appear for each retrieved string where you can choose to Skip this string, i.e. leave it as it is, Replace it, Replace all strings within the search scope, or Close the dialog, i.e. cancel the process.
If you want to replace only the first occurrence of a search string, check the Replace once box instead.
10.11. More on replace
For further explanation on replace features within Bluefish, see Section 5, "Find and Replace".
