I have created an Java web application and deployed it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It;s working fine with its database.
Now, in my project users have the option to upload documents, pdfs and images. This is creating problems. In the local system I am using./ as the path for saving uploaded documents but on Amazon I don't know where to store these uploaded documents and how to assign a path.
So far I've done the following, which is all working okay.
 1. Uploaded a project on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
 2. Created a database using AWS RDS.
 3. Both application and database are communicating with each other.

Is there a special reason for storing files in RDS?
for storing files I suggest you use S3 instead of RDS. Use the amazon SDK to do it, see,%20java.lang.String,,
Of course, your file-saving code should be pluggable, with at least two implementations. One implementation saving the file to the local disk and another for storing it in S3. your startup code should wire the correct implementation.

yes once you store it in (AWS) S3 bucket, get the credential details of it and create a credentials file
Much easier! :)

Interesting Facts about Detergents
In the modern household context, detergents represent a useful cleaning substance that is used in cleaning laundry, dishes and other home surfaces. However, during its long history, detergents were usually referred specifically for laundry, and they gained their powder and liquid form only after the rise of technology and chemistry of early 20th century. Before those inventions, cleaning of clothes was conducted either with pure water or with the help of many types of soaps. Starting with the ancient civilization in Babylon over 4800 years ago, soap spread across the then known world and became very popular in Egypt and Ancient Rome (ancient Greeks however preferred to clean themselves in clean water, soak in oils, and then scraped that oil with a metal instrument). After the fall of Roman Empire in 5th century AD, Europe lived through a 1000 year long period in which personal hygiene and cleaning of clothes was almost totally abandoned. This led to the wide occurrences of diseases and plagues, which was only stopped with the arrival of renaissance and technological progress of late 16th and 17th century.
Industrial manufacture of detergents started after the First World War. Countries of Germany and US were leaders in innovation and implementation of new types of industrial detergents. After 1950s and 60s, when automated washing machines became widely available, worldwide industry of detergents suddenly expanded and became extremely profitable and successful. As each decade went on new products and techniques of washing emerged, creating the modern environment where detergent became integral part of maintaining our hygiene.
Here are some of the most important facts surrounding long and interesting life of detergents:
 - Detergents works as an emulsifier, it bridges the water and oil particles that enable the dirt to become captured in oil, and thus extracted from clothes.
 - First synthetic detergents were experimentally produced in mid-19th century France.
 - Organized industrial production of industrial detergent started during WW1 in Germany, after the war prevented the production of traditional soaps.
 - Perfection of detergent production process started during 1930s with the discovery of fatty alcohols.
 - One of the most famous brands of detergents "Tide" was created in Procter & Gamble facilities during 1920s, but entered mass production in 1943. It was regarded as one of the best detergents that can clean even heavily soiled clothes.
 - Widespread use of detergents happened during 1950s and 1960s.
 - First washing machine in USA was produced during 1940s.
 - Semi-automatic machine with frontal door was invented in 1954.
 - 1963 saw the first appearance of fully automatic washing machine that used spinning drum.
 - Wash dryer was introduced in 1965.
 - By 1953, sales of detergent in United States surpassed those of soap.
 - Liquid hand soaps were created during 1970s.
 - Famous modern brand Colgate-Palmolive was formed in 1953 after merging of two old companies created by WilliamColgate in 1806 and Caleb Johnson in 1864.
 - Detergent industry had a big impact on environment between 1940s and 1970s. Modern day manufactures optimized their production to be more environment friendly, reduce pollution, and provide biodegradability in all detergents.

Geo-location and points of interest
Geo-location helps you measure location data by using latitude and longitude and predefined points of interest in your iOS apps.
Each trackLocation call sends the following:
- Latitude, longitude, and location in a point of interest (POI) that is defined in Adobe Mobile services.This information is passed to mobile solution variables for automatic reporting.
- Distance from center and accuracy passed as context data.These variables are not captured automatically. You must map these context data variables by using the instructions in Sending Additional Data section below.
Dynamic POI updates
Starting in version 4.2, POIs are defined in the Adobe Mobile interface and synchronized dynamically to the app configuration file. This synchronization requires an analytics.poi setting in the ADBMobile.json file:
For more information, see ADBMobile JSON Config.
If this is not configured, an updated version of the ADBMobile.json file must be downloaded and added to your app. For more information and instructions, see Download the SDK and Testing Tools in Before you Start.
Track geo-locations and POIs
- Add the library to your project and implement lifecycle.For more information, see Add the SDK and Config File to your Project in Core Implementation and Lifecycle.
- Import the library:
- Call trackLocation to track the current location:
CLLocation *currentLocation = location; [ADBMobile trackLocation: currentLocation data: nil];You can call trackLocation at any time.To determine the location that is passed to the trackLocation call, use Getting the User's Location.
Additionally, if the location is determined to be in a defined POI radius, an a.loc.poi context data variable is sent in with the trackLocation hit and is reported as a POI in Location reports. An a.loc.dist context variable is also sent with the distance in meters from the defined coordinates.
Send additional data
In addition to the location data, you can send additional context data with each track location call:
NSMutableDictionary *contextData = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; [contextData setObject:@"GPS" forKey:@"myapp.location.LocationSource"]; [ADBMobile trackLocation: currentLocation data:contextData];
Context data values must be mapped to custom variables:
Location context data
The latitude and longitude are each sent using three different context data parameters, with each parameter representing a different level of precision, for a total of six context data parameters.
For example, the coordinates lat = 40.93231, lon = -111.93152 represent a location with 1 m precision. This location is split according to the level of precision across the following variables:
- a.loc.lat.a = 040.9
- a.loc.lat.b = 32
- a.loc.lat.c = 31
- a.loc.lon.a = -111.9
- a.loc.lon.b = 31
- a.loc.lon.c = 52
Some precision levels might appear as "00" depending on the accuracy of the current location. For example, if the location is currently accurate to 100m, a.loc.lat.c and a.loc.lon.c will be populated with "00".
Remember the following information:
- A trackLocation request sends in the equivalent of a trackAction call.
- POIs are not passed as part of normal trackAction and trackState calls, so you must use a trackLocation call to track POIs.
- trackLocation should be called as often as necessary to track location and POIs.We recommend calling trackLocation when the app starts and then as needed based on the requirements of the application.
- POIs are populated only after they are defined in the app configuration file.They are not applied to historical trackLocation calls that were sent previously.
- trackLocation calls support sending additional context data similar to trackAction calls.
- When two POIs have overlapping diameters, the first POI that contains the current location is used.If your POIs overlap, you should list POIs in order of most granular to least granular to ensure that the most granular POI is reported.

Browser in Window
How to create a Floated Window with Browser
Here is how you can easily have the Browser on a floated (movable and resizable) Window, e.g. if you wish to have the Browser on a secondary screen
In this example we will use the 4 Decks default skin.
- Unzip the VirtualDJ 8.zip file to a folder.
- Keep just 2 files, the 4 Decks.xml and the 4 Decks.png and delete the others.
- Open the 4 Decks.xml with a Text or an XML Editor.
- Add the following lines at the bottom of the xml file, just one line before its end line
The bottom part of the XML should look like this..
- Zip those 2 files, provide a name for the zip file and place it into the Skins folder. Open VirtualDJ and load the skin from the INTERFACE tab.
Window element parameters
- name: use whatever name you want. The name will be used to open/close the window, using the action show_window 'nameofthewindow'
- posx, posy : Define the position on your primary screen that the Window will appear when the skin is launched for the first time. If you move the window to a different position, the new posx, posy values will be saved across sessions and the values from the xml will not be taken into account.
- width, height : Define the width and height that the window will have when the skin is launched for the first time. If you resize the window, the new dimensions will be saved across sessions, and the width, height values of the xml will not be taken into account.
- image : provide the name of the image file that the elements inside the window will take graphics from. Since no special graphics are needed in this case, you can use the graphics file that the original skin uses.
- shown : true/false. When set to false, the window will be hidden when the skin loads for the first time. The status (hidden/displayed) is memorized across sessions, so this parameter defines if the window will be visible or not when the skin loads for the first time.
Once the skin is loaded, the floated window with the Browser will appear. You can then resize it and move it to your secondary screen by grabbing the edges (that is why in the example above, the width and height of the have -10 pixels compared to the width and height of the window and the x,y position of the browser start from pixel 5,5)
Alternatively, you may use Browser Tweaks, a Windows application which among others, offers the ability to add a Browser to a floating window

Got Nutrients? Dietary Comparison of Medieval European and 21st-century American Food Pyramids
Produced by Gabriel G. Alvarez, Mark Twain Middle School, 2009.
Published: Thursday, May 13, 2010
Dietary Comparison of Medieval Europe and 21st Century
in Relation to the Food Pyramid and the Six Nutrients of Life
Introduction: The students will take an inventory of their lives by keeping track of their daily food intake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and any snacks in between for three days. They will also ask an adult to do the same survey for three days so that they can compare both surveys with the dietary intake of people of medieval Europe. The students will compare their results with what the food pyramid says they should eat and the six nutrients of life, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and water in order to see who is healthier Medieval Europeans or us today? This lesson should take about a week's span to survey their food intake, research the diet of Medieval Europe, and time to write up their results and conclusions.
Related History and Science/Health standards:
7th grade history standard that will encompass this lesson will be:
- 7.6.1- geography of Europe and Eurasia including vegetation and climate and the relationship to life.
7th grade Science Standard: (Investigation and Experimentation)
- 7.b. Use a variety of print and electronic resources (including the World Wide Web) to collect information and evidence as part of a research project
- 7c. Communicate the logical connection among hypotheses, science concepts, tests conducted, data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.
- 7e. Communicate the steps and results from an investigation in written reports and oral presentations.
7th grade Health guidelines:
- 5.1.N Use a decision-making process to evaluate daily food intake for nutritional requirements.
- 1.2.N Identify nutrients and their relationships to health.
- Report writing handout
- Food log or survey form x 2
- Computer lab – medieval research (websites)
- Medieval dietary handouts (see attached)
- Blank Food Pyramid (labeled) x 3
- Blank Food Pyramid (unlabeled)
- Venn diagram
- Six nutrients lecture notes
- Food Pyramid for display (see and handout)
Prior to the students getting to compare their diets to that of the people of medieval Europe the student are frontloaded in understanding the six essential nutrients of life, water, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, & carbohydrates. Also understanding the vocabulary terms they will use with the food pyramid information and what is required on a daily bases to ingest as guided by the food pyramid. Students must also be able to understand serving sizes like what the food pyramid is specifying. Once having that information in the students toolbox they will be prepared to extend the understanding of food through the analysis of what they eat and what people from the past to see who is healthier.
To do: copy all appropriate handouts before the lesson:
- Report writing handout
- Food log or survey form x 2 per student
- Medieval dietary handouts (see attached) per group
- Blank Food Pyramid s
- Venn Diagrams
Day # 1
- In the 1st day the best way to start this small unit is to put the students into small groups of about 3-4 in order to do a brainstorming session as to what food is needed to stay alive and why?
- After they try to figure out what is needed to stay alive they can be given a group copy of a blank food pyramid (unlabeled) to have them fill out with what they came up with previously. Students need use their prior knowledge to fill out the handout and really analyze what they think they should be eating before being told.
- As a group we share out what they came up with before going over the food pyramid and lecture notes on the six essential nutrients. In going over the food pyramid make sure the students understand proportion sizes, this will be important for the homework assignment food log survey.
- Lecture notes for six essential nutrients (see attached) and any food pyramid to go over. Visuals and hands on examples for EL students
- Explain to the students the Hw in which they write down for three days the food they are eating for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks along with the amounts or proportion sizes. The students will need to give the sheet for an adult in their lives to keep track for three days as well.
Day # 2
- Lecture notes are finished in class or can be printed and given to students.
- Go over day one of the food log survey to make sure they are filling it out correctly.
- Begin going to the computer lab to look up information on the diets of Medieval Europeans or handout can be given to the groups of 3-4 if no computers are available. The students will be given a blank food pyramid (labeled) to keep track of the food being eaten by the common people of medieval Europe to keep for their records and writing assignment. The EL & special ED students can also draw the pictures of some of the foods to help them remember the items. Once the pyramid is filled out, they can see what categories are missing and can try to figure out why those items are missing and where they could get those things through trade. STUDENT Homework or discussion questions—Why did the people of Medieval Europe have those categories missing as part of their diet? Was it due to geography, religion, achievements (lack of), politics, economics, or social structures (G.R.A.P.E.S.)?
Day # 3
- Second day of research of the medieval diet followed by a class discussion of the common findings.
- One thing you can do is having poster around the room with the food pyramid and giving post it™ notes so they can place the six essential nutrients of the correct posters along with the food items they found from the research they did. The EL & special ED students can also draw the pictures of some of the foods to help them remember the items.
- A gallery walk can be done with the students to see if the students agree with the placements of the items or they can leave a comments next to the post it™.
- Once the students complete the gallery walk and discussion can be done over the disagreements on the placement of some of the items.
Day # 4
- By day four the students should have the food log survey completed so they can also complete the blank food pyramid (labeled) from their data and the adult that they will analyze. STUDENT discussion questions, why did you and the adult you surveyed have those categories missing as part of their diet? Was it due to geography, religion, achievements (lack of), politics, economics, or social structures (G.R.A.P.E.S.)?
- Once the students have had time to analyze both their own and the adult's surveys, they can make a Venn Diagram (fig. 1) comparing both surveys to that of Medieval Europe.
- The Report writing handout and rubric can now be given, explained so they know how the write-up should be done and so they know how they will be graded.
Day # 5
- Class time can be given to start their rough drafts and to ask question of their group and to the teacher.
- What will be collected as part of the report:
o Lab write-up (typed or hand written)
- Both food log surveys (raw data)
- Discussion questions
- Food pyramids for their survey and adult
- Food pyramids for Medieval Europeans
- Venn Diagram comparison
- Before collecting the reports you have the students self score their work or trade with another student to score it before you.

Abandoned lighthouse on Great Isaac Cay
Great Isaac Cay is a small Bahamian island located about 20 miles NNE of the Bimini Islands. It is accessible only by boat. And it is so small that it's not visible on google map or google earth. The most prominent feature of the island is its lighthouse, which was erected in 1859.
In the late 19th century local lore tells of a ship wreck on the island with one survivor, an infant. The child's distraught mother, known as the Grey Lady, is said to haunt the island to this very day, wailing in sorrow during the full moon.
On August 4, 1969, the station was discovered to have been abandoned by its two keepers, who were never found. The keepers' house, cistern, and assorted buildings are crumbling into ruins. The Lighthouse looks abandoned but is actually still in use, fully automated.
It is also claimed to be haunted!


The Strong Connection Between Smoking And Gout
In this article, we are going to talk about the possible connection between smoking and gout. Can these two really be connected with each other? Give this article a read and you will know. Worry less, because you will be learning a lot of necessary facts from this article! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the read.
Smoking and Gout: Can it really cause gout?
Even though there have not been any studies done associating smoking and gout. There are various linking wherein smoking really increase the uric acid levels in the blood, misbalancing the pH levels by making the body even more acidic.
We know that the tobacco smoke may contain thousands and thousands of dangerous and deadly chemicals, which may cause various circulatory problems. This is by way of constricting the peripheral blood vessels. For each of the cigarette that you smoke, the arteries tend to constrict for around one hour with the upshot of 50% reduction in the blood flow.
Moreover, the carbon monoxide impedes with the normal distribution of oxygen. The poor blood flow and the decreased circulation of oxygen prevent the body from eliminating the uric acid efficiently. This leaves the excess in the system, establishing the crystals triggering inflammation and a possible gout attack. Furthermore, if you smoke marijuana, it will have the same impact as the cigarettes. This is since marijuana may acidify to the tissues and blood.
I am not saying that smoking may directly cause gout attacks, but this reduces the overall health though not having the bodywork. This optimally increases the risk of heart disease, gout, and diabetes.
Smoking and Gout: The connection between the two
The toxins and the chemicals of cigarettes may cause the acidity in the body in order to increase whereby the kidneys and the lungs that are the major toxin-eliminating organs in the body. Therefore, by weakening the lungs, it may hamper the ability of the body to eliminate the toxins through breathing out more effectively. Those who smoke don't engross nutrients that are at the same rate as those who do not smoke. They should eat more servings than the suggested daily allowance of either the vegetables or fruits that are high in vitamin C.
The link between smoking and gout may even go further. In fact, it may affect the cousins of the disease, the patients who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. There is a study that states, there was a strong connection between rheumatoid arthritis and smoking. This may have occurred in men who were actually positive as a rheumatoid factor.
Furthermore, one study also suggests that the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis was twice for those who smoke. This is in comparison to those who don't smoke. The former smokers had a much lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than the regular smokers. Moreover, people who never tried smoking had the lowest risk of them all.
Smoking and Smoking: Sleep Apnea
If you're smoking and suffer from sleep apnea at the same time, you're at much higher risk of developing gout attack. This is for the reason that the oxygen level in the blood reduces. This causes the cells to go through a destructive process. This may result in the body to release excess uric acid in the blood. All of those who suffer from gout must be tested for sleep apnea. This is to be able to avoid the development of a more serious condition like heart failure, heart attack, kidney diseases, and diabetes.
As a conclusion, those who suffer from gout who smoke and stopped have experiences lesser gout attacks. On the other hand, those who went back to smoking again experienced an increase in the gout symptoms as the immunity weakened. As soon as possible, stop smoking and stop gout!

A few days ago, I wrote up a challenge – to count the number of sets a given set is contained in.
In the comments, I touched briefly on the original problem from which the challenge was created, and I'll describe it in more depth here.
In the problem, I am given an initial group of sets, and then an endless 'stream of sets'. For each of the sets in the stream, I have to measure its uniqueness. relative to the initial group of sets. A set that is contained in only one set from the initial group is very unique, one that is contained in ten – not so much.
So how to solve this problem? My original solution is somewhat akin to the classic "lion-in-the-desert" problem, but more like the "blood test" story. I didn't find a link to the story, so I'll give it as I remember it.
In an army somewhere, it was discovered that at least one of the soldiers was sick and so had to be put in isolation until he heals. It is only possible to check for the disease via a blood test, but tests are expensive, and they didn't want to test all of the soldiers. What did they do?
They took enough blood from each soldier. Now, from each sample they took a little bit, and divided the samples into two groups. They mixed together the samples of each group, and tested the mixed sample. If the sample was positive – they repeated the process for the blood samples of all the soldiers in the matching group.
Now my solution is clear: let's build a tree of set unions. At bottom level will be the union of couples of sets. At the next level, unions of couples of couples of sets. So on, until we end up with just two sets, or even just one – if we are not sure the set is contained in any of the initial sets.
Testing is just like in the story. We'll start at the two biggest unions, and work our way down. There is an optimization though – if a set appears more than say, 10 times, it's not very unique, and its score is zeroed. In that case, we don't have to go down all the way, but stop as soon as we pass the 10 "positive result" mark.
Here's the code:
class SetGroup(object): def __init__(self, set_list): cur_level = list(set_list) self.levels = while len(cur_level) > 1: self.levels.append(cur_level) cur_level = [union(couple) for couple in blocks(cur_level, 2)] self.levels.reverse() def count(self, some_set, max_appear = None): indexes = for level in self.levels: indexes = itertools.chain((2*x for x in indexes), (2*x+1 for x in indexes)) indexes = (x for x in indexes if x < len(level)) indexes = [x for x in indexes if some_set <= level[x]] if max_appear is not None and len(indexes) >= max_appear: return max_appear return len(indexes)
Here's a link to the full code.
I didn't implement this solution right away. At first, I used the naive approach, of checking against each set. Then, when it proved to be too slow, I tried implementing the solution outlined by Shenberg and Eric in the comments to the challenge. Unfortunately, their solution proved to be very slow as well. I believe it's because some elements appear in almost all of the sets, and so computing the intersection for these elements takes a long time.
Although originally I thought that my solution would suffer from some serious drawbacks (can you see what they are?), the max_appear limit removed most of the issues.
Implementing this solution was a major part of taking down the running time of the complete algorithm for the full problem I was solving from about 2 days, to about 15-20 minutes. That was one fun optimizing session :)

Analysis of EPICAC
A short story written by Kurt Vonnegut
The short story EPICAC is written by Kurt Vonnegut. It is a fictional text about a very intelligent and expensive computer, EPICAC, built by Dr. Ormand Von Kleigstadt to solve complex worldly problems. The narrator works with EPICAC on the night shift along with another mathematician; Pat Kilgallen, whom the narrator wishes to marry, but because of his lack of romance and poetic skills she keeps turning him down. That is how one day the narrator "invents" a number-for-letters code explaining his real problem in life to EPICAC. EPICAC recognizes the code and answers to it. The narrator wins Pat's hand in marriage because of the poetry EPICAC has written to her, but because the

5, lines 10-11)
That is when the narrator realizes how grateful he is that EPICAC was his friend - and maybe that is why the story tributes EPICAC so beautifully.
The language used in the story is informal and there is no use of complex syntax or difficult vocabulary - in fact it is quite the opposite. With swearwords like hell and a use of irony and sarcasm between the narrator and Pat, the language and tone causes a sense of a relaxed relationship between the characters and adds a humoristic side to the otherwise almost sad story about EPICAC's lost love and unrealistic dream.
Furthermore the tone helps to create a certain relationship, in particular between Pat and the narrator, and the reader obtains insight and knowledge about the different dreams of the two of them.
My first impulse when I finished reading the short-story was "what is the difference between man and machine really?" and that is why I believe there is a certain purpose with the story; to make the reader reflect on whether the narrator deserves Pat's love more than EPICAC does. Ergo could the message be something about where development and technology are headed and furthermore to what extent love can be explained. Exactly because the narrator had to trick and lie his way out of his conversation with EPICAC and by that justify why he deserved her, it makes you wonder; how come just telling the truth wasn't enough?
To sum up, I

Sunday with a Scientist to feature 'Antarctic Time Machine'
The University of Nebraska State Museum's October Sunday with a Scientist program for children and families will travel back in time.
Professor David Harwood in the UNL Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and U.S. ANDRILL (ANtarctic geological DRILLing) Program will help visitors board the "Antarctic Time Machine" to visit several time periods exploring Antarctica's climate history. Participants will start 50 million years ago when Antarctica was covered in temperate rainforests, then witness growth of the first Antarctic ice sheets 34 million years ago, and reach maximum glaciation on Earth during the "Ice Age," when much of the Northern Hemisphere was also covered in ice. Time travelers will learn what controls these changes in climate and ice sheet growth, and apply this knowledge to predict what will happen as we travel into a warmer future. Educators will guide children through activities related to Antarctica and climate science.
The event is from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at Morrill Hall, south of 14th and Vine streets.
Sunday with a Scientist is a series of presentations that highlight the work of scientists, while educating children and families on a variety of topics related to science and natural history. Presenters share scientific information in a fun, informal way through demonstrations, activities or by conducting science on site. Sunday with a Scientist typically takes place on the third Sunday of each month. For more information on the program, including upcoming topics, go to _URL_.
Established in 1871, the University of Nebraska State Museum is the state's premier museum of natural history.

Resistance Ratio Enhancement in Chalcogenide Phase-Change RF Switches at Cryogenic Temperatures
This paper reports the DC and RF performance of chalcogenide phase-change RF switches as a function of temperature. Resistance change behavior of the phase-change series switch is investigated over 77 K to 335 K. The device shows metallic behavior in crystalline state which exhibits consistent low resistivity over a wide temperature range, while in amorphous state resistance increases more than eleven-orders of magnitude as a function of decreasing temperature from 300 K to 77 K. At cryogenic temperatures, the device resistance is achieved with exceptionally high amorphous to crystalline state resistance ratio. Device IV characteristics and RF performance are investigated for multiple device cycles. The RF performance of device with and without micro-heater are examined to confirm the performance variation of the phase-change switches at cryogenic temperatures.

What is the Timber Flooring Janka Hardness Rating?
Timber floors have been very common in many places, especially Australia, since European building construction first began. You can find them in both houses and public buildings and make up an important part of the building's structure. While timber floors can provide a basic walking area within a building and create an attractive feature in homes when the homeowner polishes them, it is also very easy to damage them.
Factors to consider before buying timber flooring
While wood flooring looks quite attractive there are some common daily occurrences that can easily diminish this beauty. These occurrences include the following:
- Extensive traffic in a small section of the floor causing a "worn" look in only that area
- Lack of care when moving furniture
- Chair loads that fail to provide proper load bearing for the floor
- Stiletto heels crossing the surface—can cause damage even to hard timber
While the above incidents are certainly considerations before choosing wood flooring, the main reason people choose this type of floor is appearance. Additionally there are factors that influence appearance such as colour, width of the board and even the finish of the individual wood an individual or contractor uses.
Janka test for hardness
Testing the hardness of any wood has no relationship to the wood's ease when working with various tools. Instead it is a measure of how well the wood resists indentation. The figures from the Janka test are used to determine the hardness of any piece of timber.
In order to check the hardness of wood using the Janka hardness rating test a steel ball that measures 11.18 mm in diameter is pressed into the test specimen until it reaches half the diameter of the ball. Some of the available Janka figures are only based on a small sampling, and as such are not appropriate for those who need to make fine distinctions between various types of wood. The two primary sets of figures are for green wood and seasoned wood. Sometimes green wood in a particular species shows a lower hardness than mature timber in the very same species; however, this is not consistent with all species of wood.
The Janka wood ratings are generally as follows:
- Moderately Hard/Very Hard
Other types of flooring options
While timber is a very common type of flooring, there are other types as well such as engineered flooring, laminate flooring and bamboo. In most cases engineered flooring has a face of solid timber that is approximately 3mm thick on the upper surface that is already exposed. You can purchase bamboo flooring as laminated flooring or as strand woven flooring. The former is classified as hard while the latter falls into the very hard category.
Understanding the test results
The results of the Janka testing process are stated in accordance with the measurements in various countries thus leading to confusion. For instance, in the United States the measurement shows in pounds; in Sweden it appears in kilograms; and in Australia it appears in either newtons or kilonewtons. This can become confusing for someone who does not understand the different measurements or are uncertain which unit of measure was used in the testing results.
The direction of the grain in wood has a significant bearing on the hardness. This means if the testing results from side hardness (measure in the direction of the centre of the tree), the result will be similar to that obtained from an angle than is tangent to the rings of the tree. The most common purpose of a Janka hardness rating test is to determine whether a particular species of wood is suitable as a material for flooring.
When considering whether to install wood flooring, it's important to keep the hardness factor in mind. Some woods do not hold up well when they are installed in high traffic areas or areas that sustain damage from the movement of high heels or improper movement of furniture. All of these factors are important to consider before choosing wood flooring or make the decision to choose other types of flooring such as laminate or bamboo.
Janka testing determines the hardness of an individual piece of wood, and this in turn tells a potential buyer whether that type of wood is suitable for his purposes. While the results are not likely of great importance to someone who is hiring a contractor, the buyer does need to inform the contractor of the circumstances surrounding the area where he is installing the floor so he can choose the proper wood hardness for that area.

Sesame Workshop Shares Tips For Creating Touch Screen Content for Preschoolers
Producer of Sesame Street Releases Best Practices for Apps and eBooks Based on Proprietary Research
New York, NY, December 17, 2012 –With ownership of tablets more than doubled over the last year1, more children than ever are engaging with touch screen devices. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, today released a paper that offers key findings from touch screen studies and tips for designing and developing apps and ebooks for preschoolers. Best Practices: Designing Touch Tablet Experiences for Preschoolers is based on more than 50 studies and shares Sesame Workshop's approach and discoveries in creating effective educational content for these mobile platforms.
Best Practices outlines interactive design points that research has shown to best support child engagement and learning on digital touch platforms. It also categorizes the most and least intuitive gestures for touch screens, tips for visual design and layout. Findings and tips include:
- Provide dialogue and visual reinforcements to help preschoolers who usually cannot read.
- Tapping is one of the most intuitive interactions for preschoolers while pinching and flicking are often difficult for children with developing motor skills.
- Preschoolers are inclined to hold tablets in landscape view.
- Preschoolers tend to rest their wrists along the bottom edge of tablets, making hotspots and icons placed along the edge potential triggers for unintentional actions that disrupt the activity.
"These best practices are a result of our research with preschoolers and their parents. We've developed highly effective methods and ways we can make apps and ebooks more engaging to help children learn," said Rosemarie Truglio, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Education and Research. "We design with parents and caregivers in mind and know that through joint media engagement children learn more and our content has a greater educational impact. In addition, we develop parent tips and have begun to integrate progress trackers as a helpful resource for parents."
The paper also outlines key features for book apps and ebooks such as including reading options with and without narration in ebooks and the ability for parents to turn off potentially distracting hotspots.
Best Practices: Designing Touch Tablet Experiences for Preschoolers is available for download on Sesame Workshop's website at _URL_ The tips on interaction and design outlined in the paper were culled from studies done on Sesame Street and The Electric Company apps designed for tablets and smartphones.

Z-Wave Shades – Zipato Micromodule Motor Controller with Vera Controls
Looking to control some shades with Z-Wave? Worthington Distribution has a solution using a Somfy standard, 4-wire, AC motor with Zipato's Micromodule Motor Controller. This article will walk you through the shade installation as well as how to add the shade to your Vera controller.
- Somfy-powered shade using a standard, 4-wire, AC motor
- Zipato Micromodule motor controller, SKU ZIPPHPAN08US
- Vera controller
Pre-wiring recommendations –
It's recommended that you have your electrician run an AC wire to the left side of the window. Although a bare wire with wire nuts can be used, to pass inspection, the electrician will likely need to terminate the AC line. If there's no room for a standard outlet, your electrician can install a Sillites self-contained receptacle, SILSCRW.
Install the shade per the fabricator's instructions. Be sure that the shade is level to avoid any issues with the fabric "telescoping."
Install the Zipato Micromodule Motor Controller, following the diagram below:
Please note: Z-Wave is an RF communication. If your shade has a metal fascia or a cassette, make sure that the antenna of the micromodule is outside of the metal to ensure optimal Z-Wave communication.
Perform the following steps to learn the micromodule into your Vera controller:
- Log in to your Vera using your web browser.
- Go to Devices.
- Click on "+ Add device."
- Scroll down and click on "Generic Z-wave device."
- Click "Next" and "Next" again.
- When you see "Add device now" at the top of the page and there is a countdown on the screen, apply power to the micromodule. It should learn into your Vera controller.1
- Name the device and click "Finish."
- Give the module approximately 60 seconds to complete provisioning before proceeding.
- Click on Open or Close to ensure that the shade moves in the correct direction.2 Also, make sure that the shade stops at the correct upper and lower limits.3
1 If the micromodule has already been powered or was part of a previous Z-Wave network, you will need to perform an exclusion with the Vera controller. When on the screen with the countdown timer, click on "Retry." The message at the top of the screen will change to "Remove device now." Quickly click the button on the micromodule three times. The message will change to "Node finished" and the Vera controller will go back to inclusion mode. Click the button three times again to learn the micromodule into the Vera controller.
2 If the shade runs in reverse, power down the micromodule and swap the red and black wires coming from the motor. Make sure to re-apply power once the wires have been swapped.
3 If the limits need to be adjusted, refer to the shade fabricator's or the motor manufacturer's instructions.
Once you're certain that the directions and limits are correct, you will need to calibrate the micromodule to the shade. To do so, press and hold the button on the micromodule for 3-5 seconds and then release it. The shade will move up and down several times so that the module can learn its upper and lower limits.
Repeat these steps for any additional shades and micromodules you would like to control.
You will now have full control of the shade with your Z-Wave controller. To confirm, press Open, Close, or move to % to verify that the treatment now moves to this position.

How useful is routine pre-endoscopy viral screening?
AbstractPre-procedural screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are routinely done in several endoscopy centres in Nigeria. These tests constitute an additional layer of financial burden to the patients since most of them settle their medical bills out of pocket. At the same time, the burden of these viral infections on the society demands that all measures are taken to prevent their iatrogenic transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of HBV, HCV and HIV among patients referred for gastrointestinal endoscopy so as to determine the relevance of routine screening before procedures. The study was a retrospective cross-sectional survey of patients referred to the Digestive Endoscopy Unit of the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan-Remo, for endoscopy from January 2015 to December 2018. A total of 432 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 48.15 (±15.89) while the age range was 12-86 years. Of these, 240 (54.7%) were females while 199 (45.3%) were males. The results of the viral screening available in the record book varied: HBV (n = 419), HCV (n = 238) and HIV (n = 417). The prevalence of HBV, HCV and HIV was 4.3% (95% CI = 2.4% - 6.2%), 2.1% (95% CI = 0.4% - 4.2%) and 1.0% (95% CI = 0.2% - 1.9%) respectively. Fourteen (3.3%), 5 (2.2%) and 14 (3.4%) patients who were initially negative, were rescreened for HBV, HCV and HIV respectively for repeat endoscopy. None of these patients tested positive for the viruses. We found no evidence of viral transmission from endoscope to patients in our centre. Viral pre-screening for endoscopy in settings with low to moderate prevalence rates of HBV, HCV and HIV infections may not be necessary.

ABSTRACT: Market manipulation is a poorly understood phenomenon, due in part to difficulties in applying conventional antitrust tools to explain loss-based opportunism. Because trading to intentionally incur losses violates assumptions concerning the self-interest hypothesis and the need for market power to move prices, traditional tools need revisions to explain manipulative behavior. In this paper, we assist this process by developing a framework to explain manipulation as the intentional loss of money on price-making transactions to benefit the value of related price-taking positions. This framework could simultaneously improve liquidity and compliance by providing definitional and analytic certainty concerning what behavior constitutes manipulation.

DROP TABLE ProductNameTemp;
LOAD *, ResourceID_1 as Value_1
DROP TABLE UsersTemp;
Load ProductName, LastUsage, '' as Netbios_Name0, '' as User_Name0, ResourceID
where not Exists(Value, ResourceID_1);
Load ProductName, '01/01/1981' as LastUsage, Netbios_Name0, User_Name0, ResourceID_1 as ResourceID
where not Exists(Value_1, ResourceID);
I am not able to understand what you want to do. As per my understanding first you want to load ProjectName and User tables without any where clause. Then why do you again want to load productName table with where not exist clause.
As per documentation the exist clause syntex is:
exists(field [, expression ] )
Determines whether a specific field value exists in a specified field of the data loaded so far. Field is a name or a string expression evaluating to a field name. The field must exist in the data loaded so far by the script. Expr is an expression evaluating to the field value to look for in the specified field.
Please explain in detail what do you want to do.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Grammatikforschung / Grammar research
Grammatical relations typology
- Traditionally, the term "grammatical relation" (GR) refers to the morphosyntactic properties that relate an argument to a clause, as, for example, its subject or its object. Alternative terms are "syntactic function" or "syntactic role", and they highlight the fact that GRs are defined by the way in which arguments are integrated syntactically into a clause, i.e. by functioning as subject, object etc. Whatever terminology one prefers, what is crucial about the traditional notion of GRs is (a) that they are identified by syntactic properties, and (b) that they relate an argument to the clause.

In its annual Oil and Gas Review [PDF] published on December 23, 2019, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) highlighted concerns related to production disclosure by reporting issuers engaged in oil and gas activities. As our clients head into annual disclosure season, we have summarized certain key guidance points relevant to oil and gas reporting issuers currently readying their continuous disclosure filings, news releases and investor presentations.
Disclosure is required by each product type produced
The ASC reminded reporting issuers that, in order to comply with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities, production disclosure must include production based on product type produced, as measured at the first point of sale (i.e., the first point after initial production at which there is a transfer of ownership). If reporting issuers disclose an aggregate production amount using boe/day or a production amount for a by-product (or hydrocarbon component), such as condensate, they will also need to disclose the constituent or related product types that were produced.
This clarification is noteworthy as it rejects the relatively common practice among oil and gas reporting issuers of disclosing an aggregate production amount using boe/day without including the constituent product types produced, and of disclosing by-product or other fluids production (for example, condensate production) without also disclosing the product types produced.
To comply with the ASC's expectations, reporting issuers should ensure that any production disclosure includes each product type and quantity measured at the first point of sale. Product types include conventional natural gas, light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, bitumen, natural gas liquids and shale gas. So, in the case of condensates, it is necessary to also disclose natural gas liquids with which they are associated. Once this "minimum disclosure requirement" is met, reporting issuers can disclose as supplemental disclosure associated by-products and hydrocarbon components at the first point of sale, as well as estimated quantities of product types, by-products and hydrocarbon components expected to be recovered beyond the first point of sale. Accordingly, issuers may not need to significantly change how they are currently disclosing production amounts, so long as the disclosure is expansive enough to include production amounts using product types.
While some reporting issuers may object to the perceived low value of breaking out the overall composition of production by all product types, the ASC cautions that reporting issuers must ensure that disclosure is not misleading where certain product types are excluded – for example, where there are marketable quantities of a particular product type at the first point of sale, even if that product type is of lower value.
Other areas of improvement:
In the Oil and Gas Review, the ASC also noted the following additional concerns relating to production disclosure:
- quantities measured elsewhere than the first point of sale
- disclosure of product type ratios (for example, by percentages) rather than by quantity of each product type – the quantities of production should be disclosed in the same document in which those ratios are disclosed

The US DOT, PHMSA, and FRA have taken action on multiple fronts to address the safe transport of flammable liquids by rail. The following is a summary of actions taken to date:
- USDOT emergency actions require railroads transporting crude to notify state emergency response commissions and urges use of tank cars with highest integrity.
- On March 6, 2014, USDOT issued an Amended Emergency Order to provide further clarity for shippers and offerors of crude oil, and to prevent attempts to circumvent requirements concerning the safe transport of crude oil by rail.
- USDOT issued an Emergency Order requiring stricter standards to transport crude oil by rail.
- PHMSA launched Operation Classification in North Dakota's Bakken Region to verify that shippers and rail carriers are properly classifying crude oil in accordance with Federal regulations.
- FRA issued Emergency Order 28, establishing additional requirements for attendance and securement of certain freight trains and vehicles to prevent unintended movement. PHMSA and FRA also issue a joint safety advisory detailing a list of recommendations railroads are expected to follow.
- PHMSA and FRA issued a joint safety advisory reiterating the importance of proper characterization, classification, and selection of a packing group for flammable liquids, and the corresponding requirements in the Federal hazardous materials regulations for safety and security planning.
- PHMSA issued a Safety Alert warning of the variability in crude oil's chemical composition, requiring proper testing to ensure the material is properly classified and its hazards characterized prior to transport.
- PHMSA continues to review formal public comments on the September 6, 2013 Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that proposed improved safety requirements for DOT 111 rail tanks cars and other improvements related to rail safety.

Students create puppet theatre based on a study of Greek mythology.
Breathing Life Into Myths
Program Summary A language arts teacher draws on puppetry techniques and help from her school's theatre teacher to engage her sixth-graders in exploring Greek myths.
The Integrated Instruction
HELEN SCHELL, 6th-Grade Language Arts Teacher I'm trying to immerse the children in the idea that mythology and Greek culture permeate our day-to-day life. I chose puppets because any time I plan a curriculum for the kids, my first thought is "How can I draw them in?" We're working with art, we're working with theatre, we're working with history, and obviously, we're working with language arts and writing.
JENNIFER LARSON, Theatre Teacher The way I worked with Helen Schell is very typical of what we do here. It started out as a passing in the hallway and that turned into a scheduled meeting. Initially we swapped ideas, and then I tried to stay a part of the process throughout. When the mythology scripts reached the level of production I went in and served as an advisor, working with Helen to get the kids to add some theatrics to the project, and doing some critiquing.

For keeping the quality and effect of tunable LED lighting used in human centric lighting applications, a new research proposed novel methods to overcome the challenges of temperature change and lumen decay of LEDs. The research team demonstrated a system to maintain consistency and stability of LED light source over an extended period of time.
Featured with tunable color temperature and spectrum, LED has been increasingly adopted in the developing human centric lighting applications in medical, educational and working environment for improving human well-being. Some of these applications require highly precise light spectra that don't produce optical power variations or shifts in color over time.
Temperature changes and age-based deterioration are two challenges of LED when meeting the requirements of human centric lighting applications. The researchers thus addressed the challenges and developed a self-monitoring method to ensure the consistency of LED light emission.
The research, titled "Arbitrary Spectral Matching Using Multi-LED Lighting Systems," was published in the SPIE journal Optical Engineering on March 29, 2019. In the paper, the authors announced a two-pronged approach to both measure and self-adjust the spectral power distributions (SPDs) of LED lighting systems.
These four examples show (a) the best fit (blue solid line) to daylight D65, (b) an incandescent spectrum, (c) the melanopic, and (d) a white LED spectrum (Ph-LED YAG) (dashed black lines) made by optimizing the weights of the 10 different channels of the LED light engine (colored dash-dot lines). In all cases, the spectra were normalized and are shown in arbitrary units. (Image: Aleix Llenas)
A fast-computation and high spectral fidelity algorithm was used to determine channel weights of a targeted SPD. In conjunction with that method, an internal microprocessor provides a closed-loop control system that monitors and corrects the spectral output, compensating for shifts due to temperature changes.
Aleix Llenas and Michael T. Eismann, authors of the research articles, addressed that with the method, they hope to develop a general framework for multi-channel SSL systems to ensure the universal applicability of their findings across different lighting technologies.

Hired by the board of trustees in 1880, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., created a campus master plan predicated on fostering a vibrant academic community. Working closely with architects Peabody & Stearns to carefully site a dozen buildings, Olmsted drew from the English campus system with buildings arranged around a central green. Known as the Circle, this kidney-shaped lawn is ringed by several residency halls, the Edith Memorial Chapel, and administrative buildings built in the Neo-Romanesque style. Olmsted created a living "museum of botany and dendrology" for students' edification, with 371 species of trees planted throughout the landscape, arranged by genus for easy comparison. Campus additions in the 1920s by Delano & Aldrich would leave the Circle untouched, expanding outward to include more housing, classrooms, and extensive athletic facilities. Olmsted Brothers would serve as the consulting landscape architects during this expansion.
The Lawrenceville School campus now comprises 700 acres of park-like land and is the setting for a golf course, arts center, sports complex, and a 30-acre solar farm. In 2016 a new campus master plan by Sasaki Associates addressed the modernization of the school while respecting the original Olmsted design. The master plan dedicated space around the campus's perimeter for additional athletic, academic, and residential facilities, and enhanced circulation. The school administers an endowed fund to maintain the integrity of the largely intact historic designed landscape. Eighteen acres of the campus within the parameters of Olmsted's design was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1986.

Students in Ms. Kate's Visual Art class created a mural of Marin County, which they worked on over several weeks during the fall semester of the after-school program. Over 60 students from grades K-5 collaborated on the mural, which reflects their community, the environment around them, and the landscape and people they interact with daily.
The mural is on display in the school library shared by Bayside Elementary and Willow Creek Academy. What do you think about the mural? Please leave us a comment.
Student's also created sculptures using tree branches, recycled materials, and craft items. They were asked to create a place of safety or a "safe space." Many of the students built fences and tree houses to represent their space.

Merged part marks
Merged part marks
A merged part markmark that includes a set of selected property elements related to a part
Part marks are used for identifying constructions, for giving information about welding, for giving information about assemblies to a workshop, for giving information about how parts should be connected to each other, and for creating bills of quantities, for example.
In the US, the term piece mark is used to refer to position number.
means that you have only one part mark for similar parts in a drawing, instead of a separate mark for each of the parts. Merged part marks indicate the number of included parts, and contain the defined part mark contents, and the near side and far side information. The marks are merged only in X direction of the main part(1) part that exists in a building object and that determines the position number for the assembly or cast unit and the direction of assembly or cast unit drawings
(1) Main part can be an assembly main part or a cast unit main part.
(2) input part that the user selects first when creating a component
(2) Connections and details always have a component main part.
.
Tekla Structures merges marks for visible parts in drawings if:
 - The secondary parts are welded or bolted to the same main part.
 - The parts are on the same line.
 - Distances between the parts are equal.
 - The parts have the same part positionposition number that is assigned to a part
 .
 - Distance between parts is not more than what is set for the advanced option XS_PART_MERGE_MAX_DISTANCE.
 - There are at least as many parts in the array as it has been set for the advanced option XS_MIN_MERGE_PART_COUNT.
Limitations
 - Part marks can be merged only on view and drawing level. It is not possible to merge or split part marks manually.
 - You cannot merge part marks (assembly marks) that are not part of the same assembly.
 - Tekla Structures does not merge neighbor partpart that is close to a part that the drawing is made for but that is not in the same assembly or cast unit
 The representation of neighbor parts is usually different from that of the part.
 Neighbor parts can be used as reference in dimensioning.

Caryota Ochlandra Seeds | Fishtail Palm
ضمان الخروج الآمن والآمن
HOW TO GERMINATE FISHTAIL PALM SEEDS
Choose seeds that are plump, firm, and free from any signs of damage or disease. You will get the best from us. Soak the seeds in room temperature water for 24-48 hours. This will soften the seed coat and make it easier for the seedling to emerge. Fill a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining potting mix. Moisten the soil with water, but avoid making it too wet, which can lead to fungal growth. Place one or two seeds in each pot and cover them with a thin layer of soil. The seeds should be planted about 2-3 centimeters deep. Place the seed tray or pots in a warm, humid location like a greenhouse or a warm, sheltered spot indoors. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take 1-3 months, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. Be patient and avoid disturbing the seeds or soil during this time.
CARE FOR CARYOTA OCHLANDRA PLANT AFTER GERMINATION
Once the seedlings have grown to about 10-15 centimeters tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or the ground. Be sure to choose a location with bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Caryota ochlandra prefers consistently moist soil, but it is essential to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season to provide crucial nutrients for healthy growth. Caryota ochlandra plants prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. This plant prefers warm and humid conditions, so it is best to keep it in a location with temperatures between 18-27°C and high humidity levels. As the plant grows, it may need to be repotted into a larger container with fresh soil.
USES AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF CARYOTA OCHLANDRA
The fishtail palm is a popular ornamental plant due to its attractive foliage and impressive size. The fishtail palm's young shoots and fruits are edible and used in some traditional dishes. The plant has been used in conventional medicine to treat various ailments, including fevers and headaches. The fibrous trunk of the fishtail palm can be used to make ropes, mats, and other woven products. Like many other plants, Caryota ochlandra helps to purify the air by removing toxins and pollutants. Some studies suggest that the plant may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which could have potential health benefits.

The database search problem: a question of rational decision making
Forensic Science International
_PHONE_ ; 0379-0738
This paper applies probability and decision theory in the graphical interface of an influence diagram to study the formal requirements of rationality which justify the individualization of a person found through a database search. The decision-theoretic part of the analysis studies the parameters that a rational decision maker would use to individualize the selected person. The modeling part (in the form of an influence diagram) clarifies the relationships between this decision and the ingredients that make up the database search problem, i.e., the results of the database search and the different pairs of propositions describing whether an individual is at the source of the crime stain. These analyses evaluate the desirability associated with the decision of 'individualizing' (and 'not individualizing'). They point out that this decision is a function of (i) the probability that the individual in question is, in fact, at the source of the crime stain (i.e., the state of nature), and (ii) the decision maker's preferences among the possible consequences of the decision (i.e., the decision maker's loss function). We discuss the relevance and argumentative implications of these insights with respect to recent comments in specialized literature, which suggest points of view that are opposed to the results of our study.

Based on the technological progress in recent years (especially in the field of automation, sensor technology, digitalisation, data communication and decision-making algorithms), the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is becoming increasingly realistic.
But even if an increasing number of functions are taken over or supported by automation, the human operator retains an important role.
Such a change in the function of the operators means that the MASS operators will need to acquire different competences and will have to be trained in line with the requirements of the upcoming tasks.
The primary focus of the study lies in investigating tasks, functions and required competences of future MASS Operators.

What is significant?
The Shot Tower in Alexandra Parade Clifton Hill was constructed circa 1882 for Richard Hodgson. Alfred Harber and Simon Hughes were the owners in 1887 before Walter Coop, from the well-known Melbourne shot manufacturing family, purchased the premises in 1896. The Shot Tower is a brick tower 80.1 metres high,circular in plan and resembling a tall chimney. The walls are punctuated at regular intervals by semi-circular arched windows and decorative brick bands. The shaft is finely decorated around the openings, and at various levels, with polychrome patterns, and is topped by a small pavilion.
How is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Shot Tower is of historical significance as a fine example of a rare and distinctive building type and as evidence of an early industrial process. It is probably the largest shot tower in Australia and is certainly taller than the tower now incorporated in the Melbourne Central development. It is also the earliest of the two surviving Victorian shot towers. The tower provides tangible evidence of the process of lead shot production. Its form reflects the shot production process: the shot was produced by dropping molten lead through sieves at the top of the tower into water at the bottom. The height of the tower was necessary to allow the shot to form correctly before reaching the bottom.
The Shot Tower is of historical significance for its long association with the Coop family, who had extensive interests in shot manufacture and smelting? they owned both of the two remaining towers in Melbourne? and as a local landmark for more than a century.
The Shot Tower is of architectural significance as a particularly fine example of an industrial building of the late 19th century. The tower is largely intact and in good condition, a testament to the high quality of the original brickwork. The decorative brickwork is indicative of the pride and investment that went into this industrial structure and as such is symbolic of the significant economic and urban expansion that occurred in Melbourne during the 1880s.


permissibility of stunning chicken
permissibility of stunning chicken
Aslamu Alikum i would like to find out the ruling or views on stunning of chicken before slaughtering. In my country it's certified as halaal and accepted by some of the scholars and dislike by other scholars Jazakallah await your response
In order for meat to be lawful for consumption it must be slaughtered in a particular way. One of the conditions for permissibility is that the animal must be alive at the time of slaughter. If it dies before slaughter then it will be unlawful for consumption. The issue of stunning chickens is a heavily debated topic. The main contention is whether or not the chicken dies between stunning and slaughter. Each halal certifying body has their own criteria. Some will permit stunning provided certain conditions are met such as the voltage being kept at a low rate to ensure the chicken doesn't die, whilst other certifying bodies will not permit stunning of any sort. Either way the fundamental point is whether or not the chicken dies before slaughter.
In addition to this, stunning is understood to cause the animal additional unnecessary pain and can also reduce the amount of blood flowing out of the animal. For these two reasons some scholars will deem stunned chicken as disliked even if it did not die before slaughter. This maybe the reason why some scholars in your country consider stunned chicken disliked.
As we are not fully aware of the industry practice in Guyana or the criteria adopted by the halal certifying bodies, it is difficult for us to indicate our preference. However, when it comes to eating Halal one should always exercise reasonable caution and abstain from doubtful food.
The above information is provided as a general guideline of the opinions and rules in relation to stunned chicken as requested.
You may find the following article helpful in building your understanding of stunning:

Compute the Running Minimum
Compute the running minimum of a 3-by-2 matrix input, dsp_examples_u, using the Minimum block.
Open the model.
model = fullfile(matlabroot,'examples','dsp','ex_runningminimum_ref'); open_system(model)
The Input processing parameter is set to Columns as channels (frame based). The block processes the input as a two-channel signal with a frame size of three. The running minimum is reset at t = 2 by an impulse to the block's Rst port.
Run the model.
In the Running mode, the block outputs the minimum value over each channel since the last reset. At t = 2, the reset event occurs. The minimum value in the second column changes to 6, and then 2, even though these values are greater than 1, which was the minimum value since the previous reset event.
Close the model.


3560 Ruger Ranch, Sarasota, FL
Sarasota (/ˌsærəˈstə/) is a city located in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. state of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, connections to the Ringling family, and the Sarasota School of Architecture. The city is located at the southern end of the Tampa Bay Area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Its current official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2013 Sarasota had a population of 53,326. In 1986 it became designated as a certified local government. Sarasota is a principal city of the Sarasota metropolitan area, and is the seat of Sarasota County.
The city limits had expanded significantly with the real estate rush of the early twentieth century, reaching almost 70 square miles (180 km2). The wild speculation boom began to crash in 1926 and following that, the city limits began to contract, shrinking to less than a quarter of that area.[9]

What's happening in my country
This page contains specific information about the planning and implementation of smart villages in Sweden. The information aims to orient people on policy planning, key contacts and resources on smart villages. However, it neither aims to be fully comprehensive, nor necessarily reflects the official government or European Commission position.
Explore how smart villages are being implemented in Sweden.
Key CAP contact(s) :
Support for Smart Villages under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
- The preparation of the CAP Strategic Plan and its future interventions is in progress.
- Smart villages will only be included as a possible thematic focus within LEADER, depending on the extent to which the local LEADER strategies are including the concept in their measures. Thus, LEADER will have a supporting role to develop local projects that function as concrete, small-scale smart village initiatives/plans, adjusted to the lo-cal village or community context. In the applications to be approved as LEADER areas, many of the Local Development Plans have special measures for smart villages or are mentioning support to Smart Rural Areas as an objective.
- Broadband and commercial services will not continue to be supported under the CAP. These will be supported through national funding instead.
Key NRN contact(s) :
Activities of the National Rural Network (NRN) on smart villages
- The Swedish NRN runs a thematic working group on 'smart villages' and one thematic working group on 'innovation in rural areas'. They both consist of representatives of national organisations, authorities and associations.
- The working group on 'smart villages' has developed a work plan with activities on financing and advice for smart initiatives, methods for local transition/development plan and translation of materials from the European Network for Rural Development (ENRD) Contact Point, as well as webinars to inspire cooperation between local, regional and national levels.
- The working group on 'innovation in rural areas' has developed a work plan with activities to define and describe methods to guide and promote innovators and innovations, describe innovation infrastructures in rural areas, collect and publish information on good examples and create meeting places and opportunities to exchange experiences of innovations and innovation processes in rural areas.
- The Swedish NRN has had representatives at the ENRD thematic group on smart villages and its meetings.
- As for the future, the Swedish Board of Agriculture suggested that the NRN should play a distinct role within the national coordination of the 'smart villages' concept.
Support provided through other national/ regional policies & initiatives
The 'smart villages' concept is not included as a specific measure or objective in other Euro-pean structural and investment funds, nor national funding programmes. Nevertheless, it will be possible to fund activities and projects that contribute to the development of a smart village through several of these funds, such as the ERDF, the national funds for commercial services and for broadband.
