How to Use Bitbucket With WordPress & Why Developers Will Love It
One of the major challenges that so many developers face is the question of keeping code in sync while working collaboratively. Is convenience compromising quality? Is time wasted trying to sort out issues? If this is the case, then it may be worth looking into a compelling revision control system. One that we highly recommend is Bitbucket, by Atlassian.
You may be asking, "what is Bitbucket?" or perhaps you've heard of it but are wondering, "why should I use it?" In this article we'll explain what Bitbucket is and why you may need it to enhance your WordPress website.
What is Bitbucket?
Bitbucket is a robust revision control system that greatly aids developers in their day-to-day tasks. If you're part of a development team, you're likely spending much of your time keeping track of collaborative projects. Bitbucket makes the process easier and more organized. To understand what it can do for you, let's have a look at a list at some of its features:
 - Stores code in one secure place.
 - Allows anybody from the team to access the code or module.
 - Offers an effective code review system.
 - Keeps track of when each modification to a document is saved.
 - Saves a history of each document's state before and after modifications are made.
 - Provides developers and reviewers the opportunity to make edits and explain themselves via the in-line discussions.
Why should you use Bitbucket with WordPress?
Besides the amazing features just rattled off, there are a number of other reasons why it'd be beneficial for you to use Bitbucket with WordPress.
 1. The quality of your code will improve, especially with the code review system and the ability to have multiple reviewers for a single pull request.
 2. Since Bitbucket is a web-based hosting service, you can use it for hosting your files and projects in private repositories.
 3. Issues can be handled with ease. The integration between Bitbucket and JIRA enables users to freely track an issue status or bug report without leaving the current tool. And if you'd rather not use JIRA, Bitbucket also has a built-in issue tracker for your repository.
Deploying from Bitbucket to WordPress
Here we'll describe how to deploy from Bitbucket to WordPress, but before we start, be sure to check that your server meets the following requirements:
 - Git is installed.
 - You have shell access.
 - The PHP exec function is enabled.
Most shared web hosting accounts won't provide all of these requirements, but if you have a VPS or dedicated server then you should be ok.
There are many ways to automate the deployment of your website. The most popular way to do this is with Deploy. Deploy is a hosted service and due to its reasonable price and simple interface, it is the most recommended.
Deployment Steps
Step 1. Install Git version control.
Install Git if you haven't already done so. If you're familiar with Git commands, then proceed to the next step. Otherwise you can download and install TortoiseGit or SourceTree, both of which provide access to Git commands in a friendly manner without needing to use command line.
Step 2. Convert your local WordPress into a Git repository.
After completing Step 1, create a local repository to store your project files. You can use an existing folder or create a new one.
Step 3. Create a repository.
Create an account on Bitbucket and then set it up as a remote repository to which you can push your local code.
Step 4. Commit and push the local repository to the remote one.
After setting everything up, commit your code and push it to the remote repository. This step is important since Bitbucket will not allow you to select an empty repository when you proceed towards setting up DeployHQ with your repository.
Step 5. Create an account with Deploy.
Visit _URL_ and create a free account.

Step 6. Create a project for deployment.
After your account is successfully set up and verified, log in and create a new project.

Step 7. Enter your login details.
After creating a new project, enter the login information of your code hosting repository – Bitbucket, and then click on the "Check credentials and choose repository" button. If the information is correct, you will see a list of repositories in your Bitbucket account. Choose the one that you created in Step 3.

Step 8. Configure the deployment server.
After selecting your repository, a form will appear where you'll need to enter your first server details for deployment. Some of the details you'll need to fill include:
 - Name: The name of the destination server, e.g. My WordPress Site
 - Protocol: Choose from one of the following protocol files: SSH / SFTP, FTP, Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud. The most commonly used option is SSH / SFTP. Once selected, more form fields will be displayed, so you'll have to enter more information about your server.
 - Hostname: e.g. sftp.mywebsite.com. You can also add the server IP address.
 - Port: Enter the correct port if it's not the default 22.
 - Username
 - Password
 - Use SSH keys instead of Password: (this is a safer option but requires additional steps).
 - Path on Server: Make sure to add the correct path depending on whether you are deploying your entire WordPress website or just a custom theme.
 - Notification Email: Enter an email where you would like to receive notifications after every deployment.
 - Branch to Deploy from: Enter the branch you would like to deploy from, or leave it set to the Project default (master) setting if you plan to deploy from the master branch.
 - Environment: A way to name this server environment such as production, testing, etc.
 - Subdirectory To Deploy From: Again, this is as important as the "path on server" field. If you wish to deploy your entire repository then leave it blank or enter the correct path.
If the details provided are accurate, you have now successfully set up your server (deployment location) with DeployHQ.
Step 9. Perform a test deploy.
Before activating auto deployment, we need to ensure everything is working right and that you have set the correct paths. Click on the large green button labelled "Deploy Now". After selecting the revisions/commit, on the next screen you could initiate the deployment or simply preview it. Click "Run deployment" and test. If all is well, you can proceed with automated deployment.

Step 10. Activate automated deployment.
Setting up automated deployment will allow you to avoid visiting the Deploy site every single time. To set up the automation, follow these steps:
 - First go to the "Servers & Groups" page which can be accessed via the "Settings" menu.
 - Click on the "pencil" icon which denotes "Edit" to go to the edit screen of the server you had set up earlier for deployment.
 - In the "Deploy Hook" box on the right, mark the "On" option for auto deploy. Also make sure to copy the URL displayed in the "Deploy Hook" book. This will be used with your Bitbucket repository to initiate automated deployments whenever you commit/push your local files to those repositories.
 - For a Bitbucket hosted repository, visit the official guide to learn about setting up the hook you retrieved from DeployHQ.
After following the steps above, your automated deployment process will be complete, and when you want to update your site in the future, you can simply commit your local changes and then push those changes to the remote repository.
If you have any questions, you can always visit the Bitbucket documentation and DeployHQ articles which help further explain the deployment process.
This all might seem like a lot to handle but if you carefully follow all the steps detailed above, you'll be sure to have it all set up and ready to go in no time. Your collaborations will smooth over and the quality of your work will only benefit from these changes. We hope you find the time to make it happen!

WASHINGTON DC —
The rise of tuberculosis in Zimbabwe during the socio-economic crisis of 2008/2009 has been linked to widespread food shortages, according to a new study led by Canadian researchers.
The researchers from the University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health say this was the first ever research to suggest an association between rising TB incidences and national economic decline in the absence of armed conflict.
The researchers say this may have occurred due to a large HIV-positive population in Zimbabwe that was vulnerable to food shortages.
Reacting to the research findings Doctor Davison Saungweme of Penn State University in USA said the research revealed some interesting statistics about the relationship between TB and malnutrition.
Studio 7 was unable to get a comment from the Ministry of Health.

Matsentralen Oslo is the Oslo branch of Matsentralen, a Norwegian food bank network that aims to fight food waste. Matsentralen Oslo receives food from 50 suppliers. It then distributes this food to more than 120 hunger relief charities in Oslo. In 2017, they redistributed 1270 tonnes of food, which is equal to 2.5 million meals.
A large quantity of food inventory, however, came with challenges in recording inventory accurately and quickly. All their processes were manual and required excessive paperwork.
We saw this as an opportunity for joint value-creation. TotalCtrl created two applications specifically for Matsentralen Oslo. They served as our pilot customer for our inventory solution for food banks.
For Matsentralen Oslo, this reduced time spent on inventory management. Further, it led to significant food waste savings.
Moving From Pen & Paper to Digital
Before using TotalCtrl's solution, Matsentralen Oslo recorded food donations on paper without details. They didn't specify the exact amount, weight, and brand of food they received.
Charities determined the number of designated products during checkout by weighing each pallet and recording its weight. They disregarded the contents of the pallet.
All transactions were manually recorded in Microsoft Excel by one employee. Thus, inventory management had many inaccuracies across its entire process.
The food waste management system was also faulty. Matsentralen Oslo had to keep many food products in their inventory to satisfy demand. However, most foods have a limited shelf life.
Thus, they had to get rid of their inventory before food expired to avoid food waste. Sometimes, the fluctuating nature of demand did not accommodate this.
The main challenges at Matsentralen Oslo can be boiled down to:
- Inaccuracies in recording inventory
- Manual distribution and record-keeping processes
- Wasted time
- Unpredictable supply and demand
By collaborating with TotalCtrl, Matsentralen Oslo was able to digitize its inventory management system, saving time and money.
TotalCtrl's Food Bank Solution For Matsentralen Oslo
To address inventory management challenges across the entire supply chain, we created two digital applications, one for Matsentralen Oslo and one for the charities.
The Matsentralen app helped add products to inventory through scanning or manually. This gave Matsentralen an accurate and holistic view of their inventory. Matsentralen also had access to a web dashboard, where they could edit information on charities and suppliers and download data in the form of a spreadsheet.
The charity app allowed charities to view Matsentralen's full inventory before visiting the warehouse. Charity employees and volunteers added items placed in inventory by Matsentralen Oslo into the charity's own shopping cart when they picked them up. Thus, the products were automatically deducted from Matsentralen's inventory, thus digitizing the entire process.
Matsentralen Oslo Saved Time and Money
Digitizing their entire inventory benefited Matsentralen in several ways. Thanks to TotalCtrl, they could:
- Record their inventory with precision
- Save €1,781 (NOK 17,700) each year in manual time
- Allow charities to browse their inventory and select products digitally
- Identify trends of supply and demand based on collected data
- Insert expiration dates for the products in inventory
- Save 1,428 tonnes of food, which is equivalent to 2,856,000 more meals, and 4,284 tonnes of CO2 each year
- Save €1,317 (NOK 13,100) in paper expenditure each year.
The solution had an initial set up fee of €3999 and a monthly fee of €39. Thus, the investment pays for itself in less than a two-year time.
TotalCtrl Can Help Make Food Banks Waste-Free
"As a result of the high number of products and a great deal of manual handling of the inventory, we contacted TotalCtrl for assistance with the automation of processes."Cristiano Aubert. CEO, Matsentralen Oslo
The food banks' solution can easily be implemented in other Matsentralens in Norway. The challenges food banks face are similar and the TotalCtrl solution can help digitize their inventories. By moving from manual handling of goods to digital control and automation, all food banks can save time, money, and help with the fight against food waste.

Drill down in a graph
Drill down enables you to focus on a specific measurement within your graph and display it according to a desired grouping. The available groupings depend on the graph. For example, the Average Transaction Response Time graph shows one line per transaction. To determine the response time for each Vuser, you drill down on one transaction and sort it according to Vuser ID. The graph displays a separate line for each Vuser's transaction response time.
Note: The drill down feature is not available for the Web Page Diagnostics graph.
The following graph shows a line for each of five transactions.
When you drill down on the MainPage transaction, grouped by Vuser ID, the graph displays the response time only for the MainPage transaction, one line per Vuser.
You can see from the graph that the response time was longer for some Vusers than for others.
To determine the response time for each host, you drill down on one transaction and sort it according to host. The graph displays a separate line for the transaction response time on each host. For more information on drilling down in a graph, see Get more information from graph data.

I have a taxonomy vocabulary "categories", and decide that one of the terms should no longer be used (because I introduced another field which covers this information).
I could delete the term, but then some existing content would no longer have a category.
What I would like is to "deprecate" the term, such that
 - existing content can continue to reference the term.
 - the term is still visible in things like search facets.
 - the term can no longer be assigned in a term reference field.
 - (optional) editing an existing node which references the old term will fail form validation on save, and force to change the term.

Termsatus module can help you.
This add a status "publis" or "unpublish" on terms like nodes, and is handled by permission (that can solve first three points), views, etc.
I think the optional point need a custom code using hook_node_validate check the status of term an send the custom error message attached to the field.

Decibel meters or sound level sensors can be categorized broadly into 2 types – surface mount and external microphone type. This decibel sensor mounting guide covers surface mount (SMD) type sensors only.
A surface mount or SMD decibel meter is designed such that it can be stuck to an enclosure and the meter reads audio levels through a hole in the enclosure.
An external microphone based sound level sensor uses an external microphone that is mounted outside an enclosure. The electronic module that processes the audio signals is located away from the microphone itself. This arrangement is preferable for deployment in harsh outdoor conditions. SMD modules are better used in indoor environments.
Here is an example of our SMD decibel level sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi.
As mentioned before, the sensor module itself integrates a precision MEMS microphone for noise measurement. Therefore, you can simply stick the module to an enclosure for monitoring sound levels.
Why Proper Mounting is Important
The MEMS microphone integrated into the decibel meter module is a precision sound pressure sensing device. MEMS systems are delicate and when subjected to harsh operating environments, it is important to protect them to preserve their accuracy and ensure a long operational life.
By observing proper mounting practices, you can
- Prolong sensor life and maintain accuracy
- Keep reading errors low
- Reduce cost of assembling your product
- Maintain product reliability through harsh operating conditions
How to Mount an SMD Decibel Sensor
The module is designed to be stuck along a flat surface on the interior of an enclosure. A small hole in the enclosure allows sounds to reach the microphone port of the SMD decibel sensor module.
- Plastic enclosures are recommended. A metal enclosure should not be used unless absolutely required.
- Wall thickness of less than 5mm is desirable where the SMD decibel sensor is stuck. This ensures that the sound port hole does not form a long cylindrical cavity, therefore affecting how the microphone receives sound.
- Where protection from dust is required, it is recommended to have the protective mesh installed between the sensor PCB and the enclosure. The closer the protective mesh is to the sensor PCB – the better the accuracy of the sensor.
- The surface to which the decibel sensor is stuck should not flex easily and cause the sensor PCB to bend.
Decibel Sensor Positioning Tips
After you have selected a good enclosure for your product, it is important to pay attention to how the decibel sensor is mounted or positioned inside the enclosure.
Correct positioning will ensure low dust exposure, accurate readings and ease of installation.
Here are some tips on how to mount the sensor optimally.
- Do not mount the sensor with the sound inlet facing upwards. This will cause dust to gather inside the hole and block the sound port quickly.
- Mounting the sensor on a side wall is preferable. This reduces exposure to dust and allows accuracte capture of surrounding noise.
- Mounting the sensor on a sidewall with a small protrusion or roof over the sound inlet is the most optimal as it keeps dust away.
- If your device has cooling fans or air circulation system for applications like air quality monitoring, make sure the microphone inlet is not exposed to dust and vibrations directly. You may still need to turn off all vibration sources in the system momentarily to gain an accurate decibel reading.
- Frequent flexing and bending of the decibel sensor PCB will negatively affect its life and may product momentary glitches in readings. Avoid surfaces that have connector holes or user buttons.
- Avoid placing the sensor where someone will frequently touch or block the audio inlet hole. Even if it does not affect readings, it may eventually cause the inlet hole to clog from frequent contact pushing dust into the hole.
- Avoid placing the audio inlet hole in the middle of large flat plastic surfaces that can attract dust because of static charge.

Invisible Indexes
Invisible indexes are a new feature in MySQL 8.0 that provide the ability to mark an index as unavailable for use by the Optimizer. This means that the index will still be maintained and kept up-to-date as data is modified, but no queries will be permitted to make use of the index (even if the query uses FORCE INDEX index_name).
Invisible indexes should not to be confused with disabled indexes, which the MyISAM storage engine implements (disabled indexes halt maintenance of an index). There are two notable use cases for invisible indexes:
 1. Soft delete. Whenever performing a destructive operation in production, it is desirable to be able to observe before making the change permanent. Think of this as like an index "Recycle bin." In the event that you were mistaken and the index was being used, it is only a metadata change to make it visible again - much faster than recreating or restoring from backup. For example:
 ALTER TABLE Country ALTER INDEX c INVISIBLE;

 2. Staged rollout. Whenever adding indexes, it is important to consider that they may change your existing query plans - sometimes in undesirable ways. Invisible indexes present an opportunity to stage the rollout of an index to a desirable time, potentially away from peak load and when you are actively in a position to observe the system. For example:
 ALTER TABLE Country DROP INDEX c;
 ALTER TABLE Country ADD INDEX c (Continent) INVISIBLE;
 # after some time
 ALTER TABLE Country ALTER INDEX c VISIBLE;

All indexes default to being visible unless specified otherwise. You can search for invisible indexes across all schemas with:
SELECT * FROM information_schema.statistics WHERE is_visible='NO';
*************************** 1. row ***************************
TABLE_CATALOG: def
 TABLE_SCHEMA: world
 TABLE_NAME: Country
 NON_UNIQUE: 1
 INDEX_SCHEMA: world
 INDEX_NAME: c
 SEQ_IN_INDEX: 1
 COLUMN_NAME: Continent
 COLLATION: A
 CARDINALITY: 7
 SUB_PART: NULL
 PACKED: NULL
 NULLABLE:
 INDEX_TYPE: BTREE
 COMMENT: disabled
INDEX_COMMENT:
 IS_VISIBLE: NO
Tip
It's a good idea to remove un-needed indexes. While most practitioners are aware that indexes hurt the performance of modifications (insert, update) this itself is a simplification. They can also hurt the performance of reads as the optimizer needs to evaluate them for plan selection.

 Follow the steps in this article if the software below doesn't recognize your portable player:
 - Windows® Media Player
 - Content Transfer
 - Media Go™ Software
 Before You Start
 - If the New Hardware Wizard appears and is prompting for a location of the driver, point to the following directory: C:/WINDOWS/INF.
 - To function properly, the computer must recognize your Walkman® player as a Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) device. If the portable player was connected to the computer and recognized as a Mass Storage Class (MSC) device it will not function properly. In this case, a different procedure is available to correct this issue.
 - For some models, it may take up to five minutes for it to be recognized or start charging for the following reasons:
 - It is the first time using the portable player.

Curve and Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
This section describes how to use Curve Fitting Toolbox™ functions from the command-line or to write programs for curve and surface fitting applications.
The Curve Fitting app allows convenient, interactive use of Curve Fitting Toolbox functions, without programming. You can, however, access Curve Fitting Toolbox functions directly, and write programs that combine curve fitting functions with MATLAB® functions and functions from other toolboxes. This allows you to create a curve fitting environment that is precisely suited to your needs.
Models and fits in the Curve Fitting app are managed internally as curve fitting objects. Objects are manipulated through a variety of functions called methods. You can create curve fitting objects, and apply curve fitting methods, outside of the Curve Fitting app.
Curve Fitting Objects
In MATLAB programming, all workspace variables are objects of a particular class. Familiar examples of MATLAB classes are double, char, and function_handle. You can also create custom MATLAB classes, using object-oriented programming.
Methods are functions that operate exclusively on objects of a particular class. Data types package together objects and methods so that the methods operate exclusively on objects of their own type, and not on objects of other types. A clearly defined encapsulation of objects and methods is the goal of object-oriented programming.
Curve Fitting Toolbox software provides you with new MATLAB data types for performing curve fitting:
 - fittype — Objects allow you to encapsulate information describing a parametric model for your data. Methods allow you to access and modify that information.
 - cfit and sfit — Two subtypes of fittype, for curves and surfaces. Objects capture information from a particular fit by assigning values to coefficients, confidence intervals, fit statistics, etc. Methods allow you to post-process the fit through plotting, extrapolation, integration, etc.
Because cfit is a subtype of fittype, cfit inherits all fittype methods. In other words, you can apply fittype methods to both fittype and cfit objects, but cfit methods are used exclusively with cfit objects. Similarly for sfit objects.
As an example, the fittype method islinear, which determines if a model is linear or nonlinear, would apply equally well before or after a fit; that is, to both fittype and cfit objects. On the other hand, the cfit methods coeffvalues and confint, which, respectively, return fit coefficients and their confidence intervals, would make no sense if applied to a general fittype object which describes a parametric model with undetermined coefficients.
Curve fitting objects have properties that depend on their type, and also on the particulars of the model or the fit that they encapsulate. For example, the following code uses the constructor methods for the two curve fitting types to create a fittype object f and a cfit object c:
f = fittype('a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)')
f =
 General model:
 f(a,b,n,x) = a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)
c = cfit(f,1,10.3,-1e2)
c =
 General model:
 c(x) = a*x^2+b*exp(n*x)
 a = 1
 b = 10.3
 n = -100
Note that the display method for fittype objects returns only basic information, piecing together outputs from formula and indepnames.
cfit and fittype objects are evaluated at predictor values x using feval. You can call feval indirectly using the following functional syntax:
y = cfun(x) % cfit objects;
y = ffun(coef1,coef2,...,x) % fittype objects;
Curve Fitting Methods
Curve fitting methods allow you to create, access, and modify curve fitting objects. They also allow you, through methods like plot and integrate, to perform operations that uniformly process the entirety of information encapsulated in a curve fitting object.
The methods listed in the following table are available for all fittype objects, including cfit objects.
Fit Type MethodDescription
Get input argument names
Get fit category
Get coefficient names
Get dependent variable name
Evaluate model at specified predictors
Construct fittype object
Get formula string
Get independent variable name
Determine if model is linear
Get number of input arguments
Get number of coefficients
Get problem-dependent parameter names
Set model fit options
Get name of model
The methods listed in the following table are available exclusively for cfit objects.
Curve Fit MethodDescription
Construct cfit object
Get coefficient values
Get confidence intervals for fit coefficients
Differentiate fit
Integrate fit
Plot fit
Get prediction intervals
Get problem-dependent parameter values
A complete list of methods for a curve fitting object can be obtained with the MATLAB methods command. For example,
Methods for class fittype:
argnames dependnames fittype islinear probnames
category feval formula numargs setoptions
coeffnames fitoptions indepnames numcoeffs type
Note that some of the methods listed by methods do not appear in the tables above, and do not have reference pages in the Curve Fitting Toolbox documentation. These additional methods are generally low-level operations used by the Curve Fitting app, and not of general interest when writing curve fitting applications.
There are no global accessor methods, comparable to getfield and setfield, available for fittype objects. Access is limited to the methods listed above. This is because many of the properties of fittype objects are derived from other properties, for which you do have access. For example,
f = fittype('a*cos( b*x-c )')
f =
 General model:
 f(a,b,c,x) = a*cos( b*x-c )
ans =
a*cos( b*x-c )
ans =
You construct the fittype object f by giving the formula, so you do have write access to that basic property of the object. You have read access to that property through the formula method. You also have read access to the argument names of the object, through the argnames method. You don't, however, have direct write access to the argument names, which are derived from the formula. If you want to set the argument names, set the formula.
Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
Surface Fitting Objects and Methods
The surface fit object (sfit) stores the results from a surface fitting operation, making it easy to plot and analyze fits at the command line.
Like cfit objects, sfit objects are a subclass of fittype objects, so they inherit all the same methods of fittype listed in Curve Fitting Methods.
sfit objects also provide methods exclusively for sfit objects. See sfit.
One way to quickly assemble code for surface fits and plots into useful programs is to generate a file from a session in the Curve Fitting app. In this way, you can transform your interactive analysis of a single data set into a reusable function for command-line analysis or for batch processing of multiple data sets. You can use the generated file without modification, or edit and customize the code as needed. See Generate Code and Export Fits to the Workspace.

Historically, water guns were made of metal and used rubber squeeze bulbs to load and propel water through the nozzle
Many small water guns work on the same principle as a spray bottle. The body of the toy is essentially a container for water, and the trigger is attached to a pump which squirts water out of a tiny hole at the muzzle or nozzle. However, many modern water guns employ more complex technologies to provide more power and water output than their predecessors.
In the U.S. and Canada, for several years, import regulations and domestic laws have required squirt guns to be made of clear or tinted transparent plastic. This is to make them harder to mistake for actual firearms.
Modern variations of the design include using compressed air, rubber chambers, springs, peristaltic pumps, or hydraulic pressure to propel the water or an electric pump powered by batteries. Some employ a combination of technologies to produce better stream performance. A more common term for larger water guns is water blasters.
Perhaps the most recognized brand of water gun is the Super Soaker brand by Larami Ltd, now taken over by Hasbro Inc. There are also other notable water gun brands such as Water Warriors by Buzz Bee Toys Inc., Total X-Stream by Lanard Inc., and Shield Blasters by Mattel Inc.
Squeeze Bulbs: Akin to water droppers, the oldest known manufactured water guns utilized a simple rubber squeeze bulb into which water could be drawn, then forcibly expelled out the nozzle by squeezing the bulb rapidly. This design has inherent limitations regarding the amount of pressure that one can achieve (fully dependent on the user's hand gripping strength) as well as the need to refill after each shot.
Trigger Pump / Spray Bottle: Many of the earlier small water guns used the same trigger based pumping mechanism as seen on spray bottles. Basically, the trigger would actuate a positive displacement pump shaft. With the aid of two check valves, often using small ball bearings, fluid could be drawn into the pump from a reservoir, then forced out the nozzle upon squeezing the trigger. The simplicity of the spraying mechanism meant these types of water guns could be manufactured rather cost-effectively and that the majority of the body could be used as the reservoir. The primary limitation with this design is the volume of water that could be effectively moved per pump. Increasing pump volume would require more user effort to push the fluid out, making larger designs impractical. However, this technology remains widely used today both in spray bottles as well as small water guns that can be found in a wide variety of shapes and colours.
Syringe / Piston: Another simple method employed in a number of water guns to push water is a syringe or piston type system. In essence, the water gun is made up primarily (sometimes exclusively) of the pumping mechanism that comprises an outer pump shaft with an inner pump-rod and water-tight seal. This allows water to be drawn into the pump as the pump is extended, then forcibly ejected out as the pump is compressed. Stream performance is dependent on the user's strength. Some models, like the Super Soaker Power Soaker Jr. and Stream Machines draw in and expel water out of their nozzles. This design means that a bucket-type filling source is needed in order to fill and refill the water gun. Other models, like the Super Soaker Power Soaker Mighty Cannon and Water Warriors Steady Stream, come with a couple of check valves and a reservoir for true portability.
Motorized: small piston: During the 1980s, the motorized water gun was perhaps at its most prolific time. Companies such as Entertech Inc. and Larami Inc. were creating replica-type water guns modeled after guns popularized in movies such as Rambo. At the heart of these blasters was a small motor and crank shaft that would convert the rotary motion into a forward-backwards pumping motion to drive a small pump akin to those found in the small spray bottle-type squirt pistols. While stream performance was often not particularly better, the fact that the motor took away the user's need to pump made for their increased popularity despite the fact that these water guns typically burned through 4 AA batteries over the course of a couple of water fights. However, their main strength and consequent reason for dismissal was their realistic styling. After some of these realistic-shaped water guns were attributed to accidental shootings by police, stricter rules regarding shapes and colouring of water guns were drafted in the United States.
Air: Pressurized Reservoir: This system was made famous by the Super Soaker brand of water guns, but actually was first employed by the Cosmic Liquidator. In this case, a pump is used to push air into a partially water-filled reservoir. The reservoir is otherwise air-tight, but has one valve to let the incoming air in from the pump as well as a manually controlled valve operated by the user, commonly activated by pulling on a trigger. As more air is pumped in, the air in the reservoir is compressed, increasing in pressure; the water is also pressurized by the now compressed air. Upon opening of the nozzle valve, the pressurized water is then pushed out through the nozzle as the air attempts to re-equilibrate with atmospheric pressure. This system allows pumping energy to be stored and used as needed. As well, unlike the methods noted above, this air pressure system allows production of a solid, continuous stream of water.
The limitation of this design is that a large number of pumps can be required to pressurize a larger reservoir. As well, poorly sealed reservoirs would render a water gun useless. Moreover, these water guns cannot be refilled unless emptied and depressurized. Opening a pressurized reservoir blaster while there is pressure remaining in the system can result in lots of local water spray or even an unexpected launch of the water gun and/or reservoir out of one's hands.
Air: Separate Pressure / Firing Chamber: The air-based separate pressure chamber or firing chamber system works on the same physical priniple as the pressurized reservoir system, but instead of pressurizing the reservoir, a separate, fixed volume chamber is included on the water gun into which water is pumped, compressing the air inside. This technology was first used on the Super Soaker SS 100. What this allows is for the reservoir to be removed/opened at any time for refilling since the reservoir is not pressurized. As well, the typically smaller size of the pressure chamber and the fact that water is typically pumped as opposed to air reduces the average number of pumps needed to achieve functional pressure. For improved performance, some users opt to pre-pressurize the firing chamber by pumping in some air first. This increases the starting pressure within the chamber, thus increases the overall average pressure experienced by the water when it is pumped into the pressure chamber.
Air: Split Air vs Water Pressure Chamber: While air based, the split air vs water pressure chamber has a sliding plunger that separates the compressed air from the water. This technology has so far only been seen on the Water Warriors Aqua Master PreCharger Series. A button is used to toggle whether the pump is priming/pre-pressurizing the pressure chamber with air or whether the pump is moving water into the pressure chamber. Akin to pre-pressurizing the Separate Pressure Chamber water guns, the split air vs water pressure chamber takes this one step further by preventing the accidental, undesired release of the pre-pressurized air by keeping it separated from the water by a sliding piston divider. After all the water is expelled from the pressure chamber, the sliding piston prevents loss of the pressurized air, thus reducing the number of times the water gun must be pumped with water in order to achieve optimal firing pressure.
Constant Pressure System: The Constant Pressure System (CPS) was first introduced by the Super Soaker CPS 2000 in 1996. Instead of relying on pressurized air to push water out the nozzle, CPS uses rubber elastic chambers to power the water gun. There are two common shapes of CPS chambers used: cylindrical and spherical. While the physics behind the system remains the same, there is a slight advantage for the cylindrical shape to push water in a linear direction since, upon expansion, it has more elastic force vectors pointing in the desired direction of flow compared to a spherical pressure chamber. However, because of how they expand, cylindrical pressure chambers also have more stress points than spherical ones. Nevertheless, use of the elastic materials typically offers improved power performance, particularly since pressure does not drop off as quickly as water is expelled from the pressure chamber as is seen in air-pressure-based systems. CPS-based water guns are perhaps some of the most sought after due to their improved performance and lack of firing angle limitations.
Rubber Diaphragm / Hydro Power: "Hydro Power" is a term coined by Buzz Bee Toys Inc., referring initially to their series of water guns that employed a elastic rubber bladder to pressurize water. Akin to the CPS system, the rubber diaphragm system can be considered basically half of a CPS-pressure chamber. A sheet of elastic material (typically rubber) is clamped against a housing unit. Water is pumped into the chamber, expanding the bladder that pressurizes the water within. However, due to the shape of the bladder, its expansion is not as uniform as in the CPS system, thus it experiences more significant pressure dropoff as the pressure chamber empties.
Springs: Another means of pressuzing or propelling water used in some water guns is the use of metal springs. The Waterball series has a spring-based catapult mechanisms for launching balls of water out of its nozzle. The Water Warriors Steady Stream uses a spring-based mechanisms as a sort of water capacitor to allow this otherwise piston-based water gun to produce a constant stream of water so long as

Freeze damage is one of the leading causes of coil failure in the HVAC industry. Although freeze-stats, expensive controls, preheat coils, and glycol are commonly used, fluid coils frequently freeze and rupture, resulting in equipment down-time and costly repairs from the resulting water damage. More reliable technology for damage protection is now available.
The Cooney Freeze Block by Coilmaster is designed to allow ice to form within the tubes, without restriction, by discharging a small amount of water into the drain pan. Therefore, the ice has enough room to form inside the tubes, without causing damage to the tubes.
This patented technology utilizes intermediate expansion headers at each tube pass throughout the coil. Each expansion header has a factory installed Cooney Freeze Block Valve that is both pressure and thermally activated. The valve will open when outside air below 35 degrees F comes in contact with the header or return end of the coil, or when the internal pressure of the coil exceeds 300 PSI. The valve will automatically reseat and allow the coil to resume normal operation, when the pressure decreases, or when the temperature increases. The Freeze Block Valve can be removed for replacement or service, and has convenient wrench flats.
Fluid coils protected by Cooney Freeze Block are designed for air cooling or heating applications using chilled water, hot water or brine (e.g. ethylene or propylene glycol mixtures). Counter-flow fluid circuits are designed specifically for the intended application to optimize heat transfer while minimizing fluid pressure drop. Connections are sized to match designed flow rates or existing field locations. Half circuiting will apply on one row coils. Full or double circuiting will apply to coils with multiple rows. Available tube diameters include both 1/2″ and 5/8″. AHRI certification and UL recognition apply. There is no loss of capacity, no increase in fluid pressure drop, and no increase in air pressure drop for coils protected by Cooney Freeze Block.

That arrow downwards means it is being clipped. The layer under this one is the clipping mask.
This has the effect that layers deeper down are not affected by this. Only the one directly beneath.
This tecnique is very usefull when using adjustment-, fillor other effects layers because it limits the effect to just one layer instead of affecting the whole stack.

YouTuber blocked for discussing 'black versus white' chess strategy
YouTube's AI blocks channel after allegedly mistaking discussions about CHESS pieces being 'black' and 'white' for racist slurs
 - Chess YouTuber Antonio Radic's channel was blocked for 'harmful' content
 - Radic thinks his discussion of 'black versus white' in chess strategy set off the AI
 - Researchers tested AI software 680,000 comments on YouTube chess channels
 - Over 80 percent of comments marked as hate speech were incorrectly flagged
 - Terms like 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat' seemed to have set off the filters
YouTube's overeager AI might have misinterpreted a conversation about chess as racist language.
Last summer, a YouTuber who produces popular chess videos saw his channel blocked for including what the site called 'harmful and dangerous' content.
YouTube didn't explain why it had blocked Croatian chess player Antonio Radic, also known as 'Agadmator,' but service was restored 24 hours later.
The researchers suggest social-media platforms incorporate chess language into their algorithms to prevent further confusion.

Popular chess YouTuber Antonio Radic had his channel blocked last summer for 'harmful and dangerous' content. He believes the platform's AI mistakenly flagged him for discussing 'black versus white' in a chess conversation
With more than a million subscribers, Agadmator is considered the most popular chess vertical on YouTube.
But on June 28, Radic's channel was blocked after he posted a segment with Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, a five-time champion and the youngest American to earn the title of Grandmaster.
YouTube didn't provide him with a reason for blocking the channel.
In addition to human moderators, YouTube uses AI algorithms to ferret out prohibited content—but if they're not fed the right examples to provide context, those algorithms can flag benign videos.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon tested two top speech classifiers, AI software that can be trained to detect hate speech. More than 80 percent of the comments the programs flagged lacked any racist language, but they did include chess terms like 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat'
Radic's channel was reinstated after 24 hours, leading him to speculate his use of the phrase 'black against white' in the Nakamura was the culprit.
At the time, he was talking about the two opposing sides in a chess game.
Ashiqur R. KhudaBukhsh, a computer scientist at Carnegie Melon's Language Technologies Institute, suspected Radic was right.
'We don't know what tools YouTube uses, but if they rely on artificial intelligence to detect racist language, this kind of accident can happen,' KhudaBukhsh said.
To test his theory, KhudaBukhsh and fellow researcher Rupak Sarkar ran tests on two cutting-edge speech classifiers, AI software that can be trained to detect hate speech.
Radic's channel was blocked for 24 hours after he posted this video, featuring a conversation with Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura
Using the software on over 680,000 comments taken from five popular YouTube chess channels, they found 82 percent of the comments flagged in a sample set didn't include any obvious racist language or hate speech.
Words such as 'black,' 'white,' 'attack' and 'threat' seemed to have set off the filters, KhudaBukhsh and Sarkar said in a presentation this month at the annual Association for the Advancement of AI conference.
The software's accuracy depends on the examples its given, KhudaBukhsh said, and the training data sets for YouTube's classifiers 'likely include few examples of chess talk, leading to misclassification.'
Radić, 33, started his YouTube channel in 2017 and has more than a millions subscribers. His most popular video, a review of a 1962 match, has garnered more than 5.5 million views
If someone as well-known as Radic is being erroneously blocked, he added, 'it may well be happening quietly to lots of other people who are not so well known.'
 YouTube declined to indicate what caused Radic's video to be flagged, but told Mail Online, 'When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.'
'We also offer uploaders the ability to appeal removals and will re-review the content,' a representative said. 'Agadmator appealed the removal, and we quickly reinstated the video.'
Radić, 33, started his YouTube channel in 2017 and, within a year, its revenue exceeded his day job as a wedding videographer.
'I always loved chess but I live in a small town and there weren't too many people I could talk to about [it],' he told ESPN last year. 'So, starting a YouTube channel kind of made sense.'
His most popular video, a review of a 1962 match between Rashid Nezhmetdinov and Oleg Chernikov, has garnered more than 5.5 million views to date.
COVID lockdowns have sparked a renewed interest in chess: Since March 2020, the server and social network has added roughly 2 million new members a month since the pandemic began, Annenberg Media reported.
The game of kings has also benefited from the popularity of 'The Queen's Gambit,' an acclaimed mini-series about a troubled female chess master that dropped on Netflix in October.

Verbal autopsy of 80,000 adult deaths in Tamilnadu, South India.
Gajalakshmi V., Peto R.
BACKGROUND: Registration of the fact of death is almost complete in the city of Chennai and not so in the rural Villupuram district in Tamilnadu, India. The cause of death is often inadequately recorded on the death certificate in developing countries like India. A special verbal autopsy (VA) study of 48,000 adult (aged >or= 25 yrs) deaths in the city of Chennai (urban) during 1995-97 and 32,000 in rural Villupuram during 1997-98 was conducted to arrive at the probable underlying cause of death to estimate cause specific mortality. METHODS: A ten day training on writing verbal autopsy (VA) report for adult deaths was given to non-medical graduates with at least 15 years of formal education. They interviewed surviving spouse/close associates of the deceased to write a verbal autopsy report in local language (Tamil) on the complaints, symptoms, signs, duration and treatment details of illness prior to death. Each report was reviewed centrally by two physicians independently. Random re-interviewing of 5% of the VA reports was done to check the reliability and reproducibility of the VA report. The validity of VA diagnosis was assessed only for cancer deaths. RESULTS: Verbal autopsy reduced the proportion of deaths attributed to unspecified and unknown causes from 54% to 23% (p < 0.0001) in urban and from 41% to 26% (p < 0.0001) in rural areas in Tamilnadu for adult deaths (>or= 25). The sensitivity of VA to identify cancer was 95% in the age group 25-69. CONCLUSION: A ten day training programme to write verbal autopsy report with adequate feed back sessions and random sampling of 5% of the verbal autopsy reports for re-interview worked very well in Tamilnadu, to arrive at the probable underlying cause of death reliably for deaths in early adult life or middle age (25-69 years) and less reliably for older ages (70+). Thus VA is practicable for deaths in early adult life or middle age and is of more limited value in old age.

School bullying is an emerging problem in China. The present study aimed to measure the prevalence of bullying behaviors among Chinese adolescents and to examine the association of bullying and being bullied with family factors, school factors and indicators of psychosocial adjustment. Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 8,342 middle school students were surveyed in four cities in the Guangdong Province. Self-reports on bullying involvement and information regarding family factors, school factors and psychosocial adjustment were collected. Descriptive statistics and multi-level logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the prevalence of school bullying and explore potentially influential factors. Results
Of the total sample, 20.83% (1,738) reported being involved in bullying behaviors. Of the respondents, 18.99% were victims of bullying, 8.60% were bullies and 6.74% both bullied themselves and bullied others. Factors that were determined to be correlated with bullying behaviors included grade, parental caring, consideration of suicide, running away from home, time spent online per day and being in a physical fight. Conclusion
Bullying was determined to be prevalent among Chinese adolescents. Given the concurrent psychosocial adjustment, family and school factors associated with bullying, as well as the potential long-term negative outcomes for these youth, this issue merits serious attention, both for future research and preventive intervention.

Injectivity radius
This article defines a scalar function on a manifold, viz a function from the manifold to real numbers. The scalar function may be intrinsic or defined in terms of some other structure/functionsTemplate:Radius notion
The term injectivity radius is also used for injectivity radius of a manifold which is the infimum over the manifold of the injectivity radii at all points
The injectivity radius is a scalar function on a Riemannian manifold M is defined as follows: the injectivity radius at x \in M is the supremum of all values r such that the exponential map from the unit ball B_r(x) in T_xM, to the manifold M, is injective.
The fact that the injectivity radius at each point is strictly positive is one of the starting points of Riemannian geometry.

Facial biometrics deployment for residential access control in Canada concerns privacy advocates
A Canadian real estate management firm has deployed biometric facial recognition to prevent unauthorized access of its buildings and track building entries, Reuters reports, and some rights advocates in the country are expressing concern.
The 1Valet system combines face biometrics on surveillance cameras, lighting and door locks on one platform that building managers can control from a single "smartphone-style" panel. A representative of the company says it is the first deployment of its kind in Canada.
Property managers operate an editable database, and the system logs door use to enable security incident investigations, which could be shared with authorities if necessary.
Privacy and Access Council of Canada President Sharon Polsky notes that privacy laws in the country are 30 years old, and calls them "not adequate." She also says technologies like facial recognition "are completely unregulated."
Commercial use of personal information including biometrics is regulated in Canada by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, which was passed in 2000.
Three buildings in Ottawa are currently using the system, but it could be implemented in 12,000 housing units over the next three years. Residents are able to opt out of the facial recognition access control portion of the system in favor of a PIN, but the images of all people coming and going are still captured and retained.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association Privacy Director Brenda McPhail claims that "these kinds of 'smart technologies' are increasingly being embedded in building infrastructure," and warns that their use entails giving up privacy and anonymity. She also expresses concern about the lack of consent for delivery people and others, and implies that the system may create and store biometric templates of all people captured on camera.
Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner Brian Beamish makes note that the system captures "the personal information of law-abiding individuals going about their everyday activities," and warned against the routine warrantless sharing of facial biometric data with law enforcement.


Minerva Fellow Interview: Charlotte Bloom
Charlotte Bloom. Ddegeya, Uganda
My placement was at Engeye Health Clinic in Ddegeya, Uganda, and I was incredibly fortunate to be placed there. It was a wonderful and challenging honor to live in Ddegeya.
2. What was your fondest memory of your time as a Minerva Fellow?
All of the relationships I formed with community members and the Engeye staff. All of the time I spent with the community members, coloring, playing with the babies, and talking with the clinic staff.
3. What did you do during your time? What does the fellowship entail?
I worked in the clinic, completing simple lab tests, taking vitals, and filling pharmaceutical orders. I played with the babies and the village kids when the clinic was slow. In the past 4 months, my fellow fellow, Joe Hinderstein, and I, worked with the staff and the U.S.-based board to develop comprehensive plans to add maternal services to the clinic. Each day was different, but we spent time getting to know the community, learning as much as we could about the clinic and central Uganda, and ultimately devised plans to make the community stronger–all things inline with the fellowship's ideals.
4. How has the trip changed you?
I learned what mattered to me, and often these were thing that were far different from what held importance in my life before living in Ddegeya, Uganda.

Scots don't eat well, but that doesn't mean that they don't care about their health. They have some of the best food in the world. Salmon, venison, and eel are plentiful, as are the seas. But while most people in Scotland have nothing more than boiled vegetables, many Scots have a diet full of lard, sugar, salt, and fried potatoes.
One of the reasons why Scottish food has a bad reputation in the United States is the poor quality of its food. Most Scots are not aware of the number of nutrients and vitamins that they should consume, so they often eat fast foods. This has led to a huge epidemic of obesity and malnutrition. Fortunately, the Scottish are beginning to take action. The government has published a new report that highlights the importance of healthy eating.
While it may seem odd to associate the Scottish word "haggis" with the word "haggis," it has a good reputation, particularly in America. For example, haggis is a staple in American restaurants. But while it has a bad reputation, Scottish cuisine is changing – and the country is proving it to us. Those who are skeptical about the culinary tradition will have to make their own discoveries to get a taste of what's in a Scottish meal.
The poor quality of Scottish food can be traced back to the feudal system. During the first millennium, Scottish food was heavily restricted. The great men of the realm ate venison, boar, various fowl, and songbirds. This cheap sugar also helped fuel a cottage industry, where Sweetie Wives bought bulk sugar, boiled it into homemade sweets, and sold them at local markets. It is possible that the cold climate is partly responsible for this sugar-hungry culture, as it has a pronounced effect on the body.
Even though the Scottish have a notoriously poor reputation when it comes to food, things are changing. The Scottish national dish haggis has earned iconic status as the symbol of Scotland. But it is not just haggis that is bad. There are plenty of other tasty foods in Scotland that are not so bad. For instance, the popular black pudding and savory haggis are both good for you. Moreover, the Scottish are proud of their culture, and their culture.
However, the overall quality of Scottish food is still good despite its reputation. The high calorific value of the Scottish diet has made the nation's population sick, so it is vital that we eat healthily. But Scottish people – no matter how much they scoff at their food – have little to celebrate. And yet, the food in Scotland is generally bad for our health. In addition, the English are more likely to eat more red meat and processed meat than the Scots, which is not a good thing.
The Scottish diet has been notorious for decades. The British have long blamed it on the British for eating Scots' greasy and unhealthy foods. It has been said that the Scottish are not fit for eating. Besides, their poor diet is detrimental to their health. They are not able to enjoy the food they love. They should avoid all types of Scottish food, especially the ones made in Scotland. Nevertheless, the English have a hard time understanding why Scottish food is so terrible.
The Scottish diet is notorious for being unhealthy. It is associated with smoking and a sedentary lifestyle and is linked to a high-fat diet. The Scottish are also at risk for cancer. In addition to its unhealthy qualities, the Scottish are known for being among the healthiest people in Europe. Its dietary habits are often influenced by a person's age, but if they're in good health, they can survive without smoking.
The Scottish diet is not healthy. Studies have found that the average Scottish diet is low in vegetables, fruits, and cereals. Most of the Scottish population eats foods rich in sugar, such as chocolate and fatty meat products. Furthermore, they don't exercise, which makes them more likely to develop diseases. So, it's no wonder why they're not eating well. The answer might surprise you! This is largely down to the lack of local businesses, but they don't make much money.


ORC – Operational Readiness Clearance
Each time an approved test beam experiment sets up in the beamline it must obtain an Operational Readiness Clearance (ORC) before the apparatus can be operated with beam. This consists of an inspection of the equipment (in the beam enclosure) by the Particle Physics Division Safety Committee and an inspection of the enclosures by the Accelerator Division Radiation Safety Officer. The controlling document is PPD_ESH_006.
To request an ORC:
 1. Go to your approved TSW
 2. Click "Generate ORC"
 3. Inform FTBF Coordinator who will help guide you through the rest of the process
This should be completed at least a week before your test beam run. That gives the committee time to review and plan. If you have time to stage the equipment outside the enclosure for a preliminary inspection, you should do so. It will help make your final inspection that much easier.
Here are some tips on passing an ORC:
 1. If you have any foam, please provide information on it's flammability. Or else cover it up with a flame retardant material
 2. Provide electrical diagrams in advance, following the information found in this document: ORCreview_DocDiagram_example
 3. Neatly tie up cables and make sure there is enough travel if on a motion table.

Requesting an ORC Inspection
In the case of a relatively small apparatus that has neither cryogenics nor pressure vessels, the spokesperson can initiate the ORC process by sending an email to the ORC chairperson, the Facility coordinator, and the RSO. Include the following information:
 1. Your name and contact information as the representative who will be on hand for your experiment.
 2. The experiment number, and a link to your TSW.
 3. Attach relevant Electrical, Flammable, Pressure/Vacuum, Cryo, or Mechanical Documents, as stated below.
 4. The location of the apparatus to be reviewed.
 - MT6.1A
 - MT6.1B
 - MT6.2A
 - MT6.2B
 - MT6.2C
 - MT6.2D
 - MC7
 - M03 (HRT)
 5. Date and time when the entire apparatus will be ready for inspection. The reviewers really do need to look at the apparatus in situ.
 6. Note: the inspection and approval process often takes about 6 hours. It is best to be ready as early in the morning as possible. Experiments who do not follow the guidelines will take longer. If all the signatures can't be obtained by 4 pm, the approval process will continue the next day.
 7. Name any parts of the apparatus that may have been reviewed earlier and at what date and where.
 8. What type of hazards might exist. Summarize the Hazard ID Checklist on the last page of your TSW.
The apparatus needs to be fully installed for the walk-through, so in the scheduling process, the experimenter should not only consider when they are available, but also when the experiment itself will be ready. By 'Ready' we mean everything is set-up, in place, but out of the beam, and plugged in but not powered. The status of any software not used for safety purposes is not relevant. If the apparatus is not reading out, it does not affect the inspection. The experiment does not have to work to be inspected, but all equipment should be present.
Pressure vessels, cryogenics, and mechanical structures
Larger experiments, or apparatus containing pressure vessels or cryogenics are handled in different ways according to what issues there might be. With these hazards, and with other mechanical structures that merit engineering notes, the ORC committee will verify that they have been appropriately reviewed prior to the walk through and sign-off.

How to convert watts to kVA
Watts to kVA calculation formula
The apparent power S in kilovolt-amps (kVA) is equal to the real power P in watts (W), divided by 1000 times the power factor PF:
S(kVA) = P(W) / (1000 × PF)
So kilovolt-amps are equal to watts divided by 1000 times the power factor.
kilovolt-amps = watts / (1000 × PF)
kVA = kW / (1000 × PF)
What is the apparent power in kilovolt-amps when the real power is 3000W and the power factor is 0.8?
S = 3000W / (1000 × 0.8) = 3.75kVA

text: The kinetics of the isomerization of butenes over the Bi2O3-MoO3 (koechlinite) catalyst were investigated in recirculation and in pulse expts. At 150-250 Deg, isomerization prevails over the oxidn. to butadiene. In the recirculation expts., isomerization proved strongly inhibited by butadiene, and the apparent activation energies for isomerization were high (17-19 kcal mole-1). In the pulse expts. where diene inhibition is nonoperative, low activation energies (2-4 kcal mole-1) for isomerization were obsd. Isomerization and oxidn. occur on similar combination of the B and A centers as postulated by Matsuura. This was confirmed by the action of NH3 in a temp. range where isomerization and oxidn. are of comparable rate. Both reactions proved to be strongly inhibited.

Strict Conditions Put On Energy-From-Waste Facility
McGuinty Government Protecting Local Air Quality
To protect the health of local residents and the environment, the province has set strict conditions on the approval of the Durham and York energy-from-waste facility.
Proposed by Durham and York Regions, the new facility will generate electricity and provide a local solution to manage municipal waste that cannot be reused or recycled.
The province's conditions on the facility include:
- Stringent air emission requirements that are among the toughest in the world
- Emissions monitoring and reporting
- Daily inspections of the site
- Waste must only be accepted if it cannot be recycled so that diversion remains the first choice
- A public advisory committee so that the community continues to be involved in the project.
The decision and conditions are based on an extensive review by Ministry of the Environment experts and other government agencies.
It is up to Durham and York Regions to decide whether to go ahead with the project.
- The new facility would require additional environmental approvals under the Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario Water Resources Act.
- Ontario currently has air standards for 124 substances and guidelines for over 200 contaminants.
"Our priority is to ensure that public health and the environment are fully protected. That's why we put tough conditions in place to protect air quality."


text: Although the scholarship on social capital and immigrant economic incorporation has sufficiently documented how immigrants mobilize social capital in their search for employment which often leads to the formation of immigrant niches, how social capital is processed after immigrants acquire employment and its significance for the preservation of immigrant employment niches is less well explored. This paper addresses this gap in the literature with a case study of immigrant Punjabi taxi drivers in the New York metropolitan area. In particular, this study shows how a group of immigrant Punjabi taxi drivers mobilized social capital via embeddedness in co-ethnic social networks and improved their working conditions – a process that must be considered in explanations of the Punjabi niche in the taxi industry for more than two decades. The study has implications for the relationship between social capital and the structure of the workplace or industry where immigrants are incorporated and its subsequent impact on immigrant economic trajectories. Further, this study contributes to the debate on the usefulness of ethnic communities for the adaptation of immigrant groups. Additionally, this research is relevant to the scholarship on the economic adaptation of South Asian (a subset of Asian Americans) immigrants, an understudied immigrant group in the United States.

The pumping station at Whitacre Heath waterworks was built around 1860 to supply fresh water to Birmingham.
The magnificent red-brick building was built in a Venetian Gothic-style and supplied up to six million gallons of fresh water per day, extracted from the River Blythe and the River Bourne. The building originally contained two large beam engines, designed by James Watt.
In 1904 Birmingham's water supply was switched to the Elan Valley reservoir. The pumping station was then used to supply Coventry and Nuneaton.
The site is now operated by Severn Trent Water.
