Word Origin and History for cinderous
Old English sinder "dross of iron, slag," from Proto-Germanic *sendra- "slag" (cf. Old Saxon sinder "slag, dross," Old Norse sindr, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch sinder, Dutch sintel, Old High German sintar, German Sinter), from PIE root *sendhro- "coagulating fluid" (cf. Old Church Slavonic sedra "cinder").
Initial s- changed to c- under influence of unrelated French cendre "ashes," from Latin cinerem (nominative cinis) "ashes," from or related to Greek konis "dust" (see incinerate). The French word also apparently shifted the sense of the English one to "small piece of burnt coal" (16c.). Volcanic cinder cone is recorded from 1849.

Migrating from Bitbucket Server with GitHub Enterprise Importer
Learn about the process of migrating from Bitbucket Server to GitHub, from planning to implementation to completing follow-up tasks.
Note: Migrations from Bitbucket Server using GitHub Enterprise Importer are currently in private beta and subject to change. To request access to the beta, see Join the Bitbucket Server migrations Waitlist.
About migrations from Bitbucket Server
With GitHub Enterprise Importer, you can migrate to GitHub Enterprise Cloud on a repository-by-repository basis. For more information, see "About GitHub Enterprise Importer".
If you're migrating from Bitbucket Server, you can use this guide to plan and implement your migration and complete follow-up tasks.
Planning your migration
To plan your migration, ask yourself the following questions.
How soon do we need to complete the migration?
Determine your timeline, which will largely dictate your approach. The first step for determining your timeline is to get an inventory of what you need to migrate.
 - Number of repositories
 - Number of pull requests
Migration timing is largely based on the number of pull requests in a repository. If you want to migrate 1,000 repositories, and each repository has 100 pull requests on average, and only 50 users have contributed to the repositories, your migration will likely be very quick. If you want to migrate only 100 repositories, but the repositories each have 75,000 pull requests on average, and 5,000 users, the migration will take much longer and require much more planning and testing.
After you take inventory of the repositories you need to migrate, you can weigh your inventory data against your desired timeline. If your organization can withstand a higher degree of change, then you might be able to migrate all your repositories at once, completing your migration efforts in a few days. However, you may have various teams that are not able to migrate at the same time. In this case, you might want to batch and stagger your migrations to fit the teams' timelines, extending your migration effort.
 1. Determine how many repositories and pull requests you need to migrate.
 2. To understand when teams can be ready to migrate, interview stakeholders.
 3. Fully review the rest of this guide, then decide on a migration timeline.
Do we understand what will be migrated?
Ensure that you and your stakeholders understand what data can be migrated by GitHub Enterprise Importer.
For migrations from Bitbucket Server, GitHub Enterprise Importer only migrates Git repositories and pull requests. Any other assets, such as CI pipelines, will remain in Bitbucket Server.
Because permissions work differently in GitHub than in Bitbucket Server, GitHub Enterprise Importer does not attempt to migrate repository permissions from Bitbucket Server. For more information, see "Configuring permissions."
 1. Review the data that's migrated from Bitbucket Server. For more information, see "Migration support for GitHub Enterprise Importer."
 2. Make a list of any data that you'll need to manually migrate or recreate.
Who will run the migration?
To migrate a repository, you must be an organization owner for the destination organization in GitHub, or an organization owner must grant you the migrator role.
You must also have required permissions and access to your Bitbucket Server instance:
 - Admin or super admin permissions
 - If your Bitbucket Server instance runs Linux, SFTP access to the instance, using a supported SSH private key (see "Managing access for GitHub Enterprise Importer")
 - If your Bitbucket Server instance runs Windows, file sharing (SMB) access to the instance
 1. Decide whether you want an organization owner of the destination organization to perform your migrations, or whether you need to grant the migrator role to someone else.
 2. If you chose to grant the migrator role, decide which person or team you'll grant the role to.
 3. Grant the migrator role to the person or team. For more information, see "Granting the migrator role for GitHub Enterprise Importer."
 4. Confirm that the person has correctly configured personal access tokens to meet all the access requirements. For more information, see "Managing access for GitHub Enterprise Importer."
 5. Confirm the migrator has admin or super admin permissions and SFTP access for your Bitbucket Server instance.
What organizational structure do we want in GitHub?
Next, plan the organizational structure you'll create in GitHub.
In Bitbucket Server, repositories are grouped into projects. In GitHub, repositories are owned by organizations. However, you should not assume that the best approach is to create one organization in GitHub per project in Bitbucket Server.
After migrating to GitHub, you should have only one enterprise account and a small number of organizations owned by that enterprise.
Each migrated repository will be owned by one of these organizations, which may result in a large list of ungrouped repositories within each organization. However, you can manage access to groups of repositories by creating teams on GitHub. For more information, see "About teams."
If you want to break your migration effort into batches, consider batching by organization.
 1. Decide what your new organization structural will be.
 2. Decide if you need to break up your migration effort into smaller batches.
 3. If so, decide how you want to break up your migrations.
Running your migrations
After you complete your planning, you can start the actual migrations. To help uncover problems that might be unique to your enterprise during and after the migration, we highly recommend performing trial runs of all migrations. After resolving any issues uncovered by the trial runs, you can run your production migrations.
Trial migrations help you determine several critical pieces of information.
 - Whether the migration for a given repository can complete successfully
 - Whether you can get the repository back to a state where your users can successfully start working
 - How long a migration will take to run, which is useful for planning migration schedules and setting stakeholder expectations
Trial runs do not require much time coordination. GitHub Enterprise Importer never requires downtime for users of a repository being migrated. However, we recommend halting work during production migrations to ensure that new data isn't created during the migration, which would then be missing from the migrated repository. This isn't a concern for trial migrations, so trial runs can take place at any time. To reduce the time it takes to complete your trial migrations, you can schedule the batches for your trial runs back-to-back. Users of those repositories can then validate the results on their own time.
We recommend creating a test organization to use as a destination for your trial migrations. You can use a single organization for all trial runs, or you can create one test organization for each intended destination organization. Consider including -sandbox at the end of the organization names, to clarify that the organizations are intended only for migration validation and not for production. You can delete the test organizations after you're done.
 1. Create a test organization for your trial migrations.
 2. Run the trial migrations. For more information, see "Preparing to run a migration with GitHub Enterprise Importer."
 3. Complete the follow-up tasks described below for the trial migrations.
 4. Ask users to validate the results of the migrations.
 5. Resolve any issues uncovered by your trial migrations.
 6. If your destination uses IP allow lists, configure the list to allow access by GitHub Enterprise Importer. For more information, see "Managing access for GitHub Enterprise Importer."
 7. Run your production migrations. For more information, see "Migrating repositories from Bitbucket Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud."
 8. Optionally, delete the test organization.
Completing follow-up tasks
After each migration has finished, you will need to complete some additional tasks before the repository is ready for work.
Reviewing the migration log
First, review the migration log for each migrated repository. For more information, see "Accessing your migration logs for GitHub Enterprise Importer."
If any specific items within the repository could not be migrated, you'll see a warning in the migration log.
Note: If the "Migration Log" issue includes "Migration completed" at the bottom, the repository was migrated. Error messages only indicate that specific items within the repository, such as a comment on a pull request, may not have migrated correctly.
 1. Review your migration logs.
 2. Review any warnings each log, and ensure that none are blocking the acceptance of the migration. For more information, see "Troubleshooting your migration with GitHub Enterprise Importer."
Setting repository visibility
All repositories are migrated as private, and only the user that ran the migration and organization owners will have access to the repository. If you don't want the repository to be private, change the visibility.
 - You can change a repository's visibility in the browser. For more information, see "Setting repository visibility."
 - Alternatively, you can use GitHub CLI to change repository visibility from the command line. You can even add this command to the script that was generated to run your migrations. For more information, see gh repo edit in the GitHub CLI

- Antiguan racer
- Antigua and Barbuda ()
The rarest snake is the Antiguan racer (Alsophis antiguae) of which fewer than 150 are now believed to exist, including those in captivity. The snake was once common in Antigua, but disappeared from the island following the introduction of non-indigenous predators, black and brown rats (Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus) and then the Asian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus). The racer was thought to be extinct, but in 1989 was rediscovered only on Great Bird Island off the northeast coast of Antigua. Following intense conservation programmes, the species is slowly recovering, although remains classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red List 2004.

Uses of Author Interviews for Art Educators & Students
Show professional illustrators demonstrating art techniques and mediums,
for example …
Watch professional illustrators teach the book-making process,
for example …
What is an Author Interview?
- Author Interviews are interviews with authors and illustrators in video, audio, and written formats.
- Meet-the-Author Programs are filmed by TeachingBooks.net in the homes and studios of award-winning authors and illustrators to enable readers to connect with the author the moment they are studying a book.
Authors talk about:
- Working with ideas
- Doing research
- Bringing history to life
- Being a professional author
- Diverse art techniques
- Approaches to book design
- Illustrating fiction and nonfiction
- Being a professional illustrator
Share how you use Author Interviews as an art educator.*
Here are some curricular uses submitted by educators…
- "I share Author Interviews because they give physical descriptions on how the art was used."
- "I use the Author Interviews to have the author explaining, in their own words, how a technique is used—or how the process of creating an illustrated book is done."
- "I use Author Interviews to show art techniques to students, as well as expose them to professions in art education. This brings art and literacy together."
- "After watching an Author Interview, break students break into teams of 4 to come up with some specific questions they would like to ask the illustrator if he or she were a guest in the classroom.
Also, use Author interviews to inspire students and help them to become more excited about making their own work—especially when creating'minibooks' in the art room."
- "I use Author Interviews to share with the students information that brings history to life, tips on doing research, and ways to approach writing/illustrating."
- "These author/illustrator programs are inspirational for me, exposing me to different techniques that I might use with the class. I also show the videos to my students to inspire them to 'think outside the box.' In particular, I liked Denise Fleming's reinforcement that the use of'sound words' such as "Crunch, Munch" are particularly effective in story writing."

About the Network
The University Network for Collaborative Governance (UNCG) is made up of college and university centers, institutes and programs that engage in service, scholarship and teaching to build the capacity for collaborative governance.
The University Network for Collaborative Governance (UNCG) envisions a future where collaboration fosters our collective ability to understand and address the challenges of our times, and in the process, to reimagine and sustain our democracy. In that envisioned future, collaborative governance -- informed by practice, scholarship, and teaching, -- fosters a vibrant, equitable and resilient society and advances the common good in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, territories of the US, and other countries.
The University Network for Collaborative Governance champions collaborative governance by supporting and strengthening a network of faculty members and professionals from college and university centers, institutes, and programs that engage in collaborative governance practice, scholarship, and teaching.
In March 2008, the inaugural meeting of the Network was held in Atlanta, Georgia. Members of the Network adopted the Charter and identified objectives. In 2018, at its annual meeting in Portland, the Network unanimously adopted its Strategic Directions for the next ten years.
Network members have adoped a common set of principles that its members agree to adhere to in their organizational operations, functions, and practices. The principles reflect a commitment to maintaining the integrity and excellence of the programs and practices of these centers.
Each center has or will have an organizational charter or set of policies that articulates the principles as well as appropriate policies and standards to guide their practices.
About Collaborative Governance
Collaborative governance refers to community and public policy decision making processes and structures that enable participants to work together to enhance their communities and shape sustainable public policy decisions. Collaborative governance does this by engaging participants collectively and constructively across the boundaries of the public, private, and civic sectors to leverage the unique attributes and resources of each for the greatest impact. The collaborative approach to governance can encompasses any method, model, or process that is deliberative and consensual including civic engagement and service, public engagement, collaborative network management, public consultation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, collaborative public management, dispute resolution, and negotiation.
We have collected the most widely used definitions that encapsulates collaborative governance.
- Advance teaching, research and outreach in public deliberation, collaborative problem solving and multi-party conflict resolution;
- Share knowledge, information and best practices among members;
- Assist universities in shaping and adapting their research, teaching, and community engagement to enhance their effectiveness;
- Acquaint university leaders, policymakers, and the public with the role universities can play in carrying out collaborative governance practices;
- Provide linkages between university centers and leaders interested in using collaborative governance practices;
- Promote policies that support the use of best practices and systems for collaborative governance.
UNCG STATEMENT: Addressing the increase of violence in public spaces in the U.S.
The work of the Association for Conflict Resolution's Environment and Public Policy Section and the University Network for Collaborative Governance fosters opportunities for diverse voices to be heard, and for all to participate in shaping the decisions that affect our lives. We are sobered and saddened by the fact that violence, hate crimes, and intolerance have reached crisis levels in the United States. In opposition to intolerance and indifference to those harmed by this crisis, we consider robust, honest dialogue to be essential to our democracy. By robust and honest dialogue, we mean sharing our own insights and listening to those of others with respect, compassion and recognition for one another's humanity. Rather than avoiding conflict or ignoring injustice, robust dialogue promotes constructive confrontation, allowing us to surface and address these issues directly to produce healthy, sustainable, and just outcomes.
As conflict resolution practitioners, we are on the front lines of strong emotions and impulsive actions in a polarized environment. We reject physical and structural violence as a means to express hate, disagreement and dissent, or as a strategy for achieving outcomes. Instead, we commit ourselves, as organizations and individuals, to encouraging respectful discussion, facilitating the inclusion of diverse perspectives in public dialogue, and striving to create an environment conducive to constructive and brave discourse. To that end, we hope that the following tools and resources at this link are helpful in making this happen.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of intensive surgery combined with intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) in advanced neuroblastoma. Methods: Clinical features and outcome were reviewed in 33 advanced neuroblastoma patients (24 with INSS stage 4, 9 with stage 3), who had surgery (total excision 29, subtotal excision 4) with IORT (10 to 15 Gy) against the primary tumor site. Results: Three patients (8.8%) had relapse at the primary site, all of which arose from the unirradiated area after stem cell transplantation. Among 29 patients with total excision, disease-free survival was obtained in 15 (51.7%) for an average of 6.9 years, which included 5 survivors of 9 patients (55.9%) with amplified N-myc. In contrast, none of 4 patients with macroscopic residual survived. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significantly longer survival rates in the patients with total resection compared with those with macroscopic remnants. Conclusions: The intensive surgery with IORT dramatically increased the local eradication and improved the outcome even in advanced neuroblastoma with N-myc amplification. However, long-term survival was not obtained in patients with unresectable residual disease. These results may indicate the key role of surgical eradication in advanced neuroblastoma.

Fuzzy sets on 2D spaces for fineness representation
MetadatosAfficher la notice complète
Fuzzy setsFeature extractionImage analysisTexture modeling Human perception
The analysis of the perceptual properties of texture plays a fundamental role in tasks like semantic description of images, content-based image retrieval using linguistic queries, or expert systems design based on low level visual features. In this paper, we propose a methodology to model texture properties by means of fuzzy sets defined on bidimensional spaces. In particular, we have focused our study on the fineness property that is considered as the most important feature for human visual interpretation. In our approach, pairwise combinations of fineness measures are used as a reference set, which allows to improve the ability to capture the presence of this property. To obtain the membership functions, we propose to learn the relationship between the computational values given by the measures and the human perception of fineness. The performance of each fuzzy set is analyzed and tested with the human assessments, allowing us to evaluate the goodness of each model and to identify the most suitable combination of measures for representing the fineness presence.

Contact-line dynamics of a diffuse fluid interface. (English) Zbl 0984.76084
From the summary: An investigation is made into the moving contact line dynamics of a Cahn-Hilliard-van der Waals (CHW) diffuse mean-field interface. The interface separates two incompressible viscous fluids and can evolve either through convection or through diffusion driven by chemical potential gradients. The purpose of this paper is to show how the CHW moving contact line compares to the classical sharp interface contact line. It therefore discusses the asymptotics of the CHW contact line velocity and chemical potential fields as the interface thickness \(\varepsilon\) and the mobility \(\kappa\) both go to zero. The CHW and classical velocity fields have the same outer behaviour but can have very different inner behaviours and physics. In the CHW model, wall-liquid bonds are broken by chemical potential gradients instead of by shear, and change of material at the wall is accomplished by diffusion rather than by convection. The result is, mathematically at least, that the CHW moving contact line can exist even with no-slip conditions for the velocity.

He keeps Spa park in bloom
Gardener at Saratoga Spa State Park has been putting his touch on park's entrance
By LEIGH HORNBECK, Staff writer
Click byline for more stories by writer.
First published: Thursday, August 13, 2009
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Dan Urkevich, the gardener at the Saratoga Spa State Park, first turned a barren entrance to the park into a bountiful garden in 2000.
Under Urkevich's fastidious care, the beds to the left and right of the Route 9 entrance to the Avenue of the Pines have tripled in size since then.
"I look for tall, eye-catching plants you can see from the road," said the 50-year-old Mechanicville native who works for the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Urkevich says he chooses low-maintenance, invasive plants that will spread on their own for the garden, which contains about 70 percent perennials and 30 percent annuals.
You won't see Geraniums or many Petunias in Urkevich's beds because the old blooms on those plants must be pinched off in order for new flowers to bloom. Instead, the flower beds next to the avenue are filled with such specimens as bright yellow Heliopsis, lavender joe pye weed, tall purple Cleome and Veronica flowers, and the huge green leaves of elephant ear plants.
Urkevich works with Sunnyside Gardens in Saratoga Springs to try new things and grow bigger-than-average annuals, like the Salvia and Impatiens that line the road-side border of the beds. He also brings plants from home, including barrel-sized thickets of iris. Although the state park employs seasonal workers who cut the grass, Urkevich mows the grass around the beds himself.
Over years of gardening both at work and at home, he's learned what plants work best -- the ornamental grasses are pretty even in the fall as they change colors; the red bee balm has a stronger stem than the pink variation, so it will stand up to wind and rain; sedum, which looks like broccoli now, will turn pink in the fall -- hence the name of the variation Urkevich chose, "autumn joy."
Although Urkevich maintains a garden at home, much of his energy is channeled into the upkeep of the beds at the state park. He also plants beds in the medians on Route 9 near the park entrances, around toll booths in the park and at the Victoria Pool. In the winter he plows and does other maintenance work around the park.
The gardens draw visitors other than human admirers: honey bees, butterflies and finches. Urkevich also fights four-legged intruders such as woodchucks, chipmunks and voles that feast in the gardens. Voles destroyed the sunflowers this year, Urkevich said. However, he's humane toward the critters: the woodchucks he traps in cages and relocates to other parts of the state park.
The heavy rains this summer took a toll on the gardens, pushing apart flower stalks and driving holes in hosta leaves. But only the gardener's careful eye picks out the damage. For the passerby, the view is a bright welcome to the southern end of Saratoga Springs.

Sheik leads buyers at Fasig-Tipton with $11.9M
By DENNIS YUSKO, Staff writer
Click byline for more stories by writer.
First published: Wednesday, August 12, 2009
SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Chuck Simon found himself shopping yearlings Tuesday next to one of the wealthiest men in the world, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The horse trainer from Saratoga Springs and his wife, Paula, stood in a freshly framed, new outdoor pavilion about five feet from the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates/ruler of Dubai during the final night of the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings auction.
Both men admired the animals on their way to the auction block. Both were looking for strong bloodlines. Only one was definitely buying. Only Sheikh Mohammed spent $2.8 million, the auction's highest price, on a single horse Tuesday, bringing his total for the two-day event to nearly $12 million spent.
"We don't usually play at this level," Simon acknowledged.
No buyers this year were on the level of Sheikh Mohammed, who made his first visit to the city in more than decade to shop horses and inspect his 106-acre Greentree Training Center horse farm at 36 Nelson Ave.
The "CEO of Dubai Inc." is a big horse buyer and breeder with an estimated worth of more than $12 billion, according to Forbes.com. He bought Greentree two years ago for $17.5 million, and many believe he's the force behind a Dubai company's purchase of Fasig-Tipton, a Kentucky-based horse auction company, last year.
Millions in renovations were made to the East Avenue facility, with more to come. The work seemed to please His Highness. After scoping the main pavilion's art offerings, he walked through hundreds of people in the property's backyard with several bodyguards and his bloodstock agent, John Ferguson, stopping to sign autographs. Asked by a reporter how he liked Saratoga, the sheik said, "very much" and gave a thumbs-up sign. He later returned and said, "I love it here."
Ferguson on Tuesday purchased six yearlings for nearly $6.4 million, including $2.8 million for a colt sired by Storm Cat named On A Storm. Those purchases came after Ferguson bought six horses for $5.5 million on Monday, including all three yearlings that sold for more than $1 million that night.
Fasig-Tipton employees said Sheikh Mohammed's purchases helped boost this year's auction totals well above last year's. Figures were up in all categories.
The average price paid for a yearling at this year's sale was $328,434, compared with $295,738 last year. The sale generated more than $52 million in total sales vs. $36 million in 2008. A total of 160 horses sold and 45 did not, compared with 122 and 42 last year.

How to Replace a Belt Tensioner on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier
by Grace Mclain
itstillruns article image
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
The belt tensioner on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier is a spring loaded component with a pulley attached to one end. The belt tensioner keeps the proper amount of tension on the belt while the engine is running. The tensioner moves up and down with the movement of the belt as the belt travels around each accessory pulley. Replace the tensioner if the spring inside of the tensioner arm becomes weak or if it breaks.
Step 1
Open the hood on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier and locate the spring loaded belt tensioner. It's on the front passenger side of the engine or in the front center of the engine. Use the bolt head in the middle of the tensioner pulley to loosen the tension off of the belt.
Step 2
Rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise with the ratchet and socket. Then, pull the belt out from under the tensioner pulley. Hang the belt to the front of the engine with a bungee strap to keep it from falling out of the other accessory pulleys.
Step 3
Locate the bolt head that in the center of the spring loaded section of the tensioner. Loosen and remove the bolt with the ratchet and a socket by turning the bolt counter-clockwise. Pull the tensioner straight off of the front of the engine and place it to the side. If the tensioner is stuck, slide a flathead screwdriver behind the tensioner and pry outward until the tensioner comes off of the front of the engine.
Step 4
Position the new tensioner to the front of the engine. Screw the bolt back into the center of the spring loaded arm and tighten down tight with the ratchet and socket.
Step 5
Remove the bungee strap from the belt. Then, turn the new tensioner pulley clockwise to make room for the belt. Slide the belt under the new tensioner pulley and release the tensioner. As the new tensioner retracts it will tighten the belt to the proper tension.
Inspect the belt to make sure it's still seated inside all of the pulleys. Then, crank the engine and let it run for 15 seconds. Watch the tensioner as the engine is running to ensure it's working properly. Turn the engine off and close the hood.

Answer: How do you simulate the use of the keyboard ?
( #10933=categorized answer: print w/ replies, xml ) Need Help??
Q&A > input and output > How do you simulate the use of the keyboard ? contributed by httptech
Well, the keyboard is usually read using <STDIN> which is just another filehandle.
So say you have written a script that asks a few questions like:
print "What is your name? "; my $name = <STDIN>; chomp $name; print "What is your quest? "; my $quest = <STDIN>; chomp $quest; print "What is your favorite color? "; my $color = <STDIN>; chomp $color;
Now, if you want to test that out without actually having to type it into the keyboard, you can make a textfile like:
Anonymous Monk I seek the Wisdom of the Monastery Yellow...no, Blue! arghhhhhhhh!
Now, you can open that file in your program and assign it a filehandle <FOO>, ahead of where the questions are asked. Then, use a line like this: *STDIN = *FOO; (also before where you first start grabbing STDIN)
That allows you to alias STDIN to FOO and the file will be read instead of the keyboard while you are testing your program. When you're done testing, just remove the open statement and the *STDIN = *FOO line and you're all set.

Before the establishment of the Cooperative, the Kilim River Tourism Jetty was under the management of The Fishermen Economy Group. For operation purpose, the group registered a company under the name of KEN Makmur Enterprise. The company operated under the supervision of the Department of Fishery from 2000 to 2010.
However many of the fishermen were facing constraint as they were living in poverty. As a way to overcome the poverty, the fishermen decided to venture into business and this had led to the idea of establishing a cooperative as the vehicle to achieve that mission. After several sessions of discussion, members of the association and Fishermen Economy Group commitee members agreed to set up the Cooperative.
Following up on the establishment of the Cooperative, the management of Kilim River jetty was handed to the Cooperative. Cooperative members consist of villagers of Kilim Village and the membership stands at about 114 members.

Research on shipboard aircraft model and simulation of ship landing environment Abstract
Aircraft carrier / carrier aircraft system is an important force of modern military, a necessary weapon of modern navy, and also a symbol of national comprehensive national strength. Therefore, the pace of research on aircraft carrier / carrier aircraft system in various countries has never stopped. Aircraft carriers and shipborne aircraft complement each other, and only when they are combined can they exert their strongest strength. Aircraft carriers are a platform for naval aircraft to take off and land at sea, and a large surface warship with shipborne aircraft as its main combat weapon. The ship body of an aircraft carrier has an oversized deck for the take-off and landing of a shipborne aircraft, and its movement is also a key factor affecting the safety and accurate landing of a shipborne aircraft.
Shipboard aircraft and land-based aircraft, its use environment is relatively bad. Safety and accurate landing has become an important issue in the use of shipboard aircraft. The movement of aircraft carrier at sea, the environment of sea and turbulence disturbance all affect the safety of landing ship. The limited length and width of the deck of aircraft carrier also make the landing difficulty of carrier aircraft much more difficult than that of land-based aircraft. In this paper, first of all, by using the basic knowledge of dynamics and other disciplines, the constraint relations among the variables of shipborne aircraft in the coordinate system are obtained, the longitudinal motion equation model of shipborne aircraft is established, and the small disturbance equation of shipborne aircraft landing is given. The natural state of the shipborne aircraft is also discussed. In the Matlab / Simulink environment, the transfer function of the throttle and elevator input corresponding to each output of the aircraft and its simulation are obtained under the environment of Matlab / Simulink.
This paper also studies the influence of carrier movement on the landing of carrier aircraft, defines the degree of freedom of aircraft carrier and analyzes the influence of each degree of freedom according to the characteristics of aircraft carrier motion at sea. The influence of pitching and swinging motion on the landing of shipborne aircraft was studied. The stationary stochastic process was modeled by using the power spectrum model of the aircraft carrier, and the simulation of the aircraft carrier movement was carried out, and the characteristics and causes of the ship tail current were analyzed. The engineering method is used to simulate and analyze the wake of aircraft carrier. The simulation results show that the magnitude of the periodic component of the ship tail current induced by the aircraft carrier motion is larger, especially the closer to the final phase of the ship landing, the periodic component of the ship tail current to the shipborne flight. The greater the impact of aircraft landing.

SPRINGTAILS AND SNOWFLEAS
Springtails belong to the insect order Collembola, a primitive group of small wingless, soft bodied insects which possess a forked muscular structure at the tip of the abdomen that enable them to hop about in a springing action when the abdomen is arched and suddenly released. In Maine we commonly experience local outbreaks of two species which we call snowfleas that become most abundant during spring thaws when they swarm on the surface of the snow and ground. The title is misleading as they do not bite but are so named because of their ability to jump. Although colors vary in any one species, we have found that in most cases our two "snowfleas" are of consist color when swarming. The two that we encounter most often are the typical and more common snowflea, Hypogastrura nivicola Fitch, which is sooty or gunpowder (dull) black. Their swarms can literally blanket the surface of the snow. They may also become abundant on the ground during prolonged rainy spells in the spring or fall. The other less common species we have called the snowmelt springtail, Hypogastrura armata Nicolet, which is rusty or bloodmeal (dull) red. This species occurs most often along roads or trails in the spring where it too accumulates in massive numbers in and around pools of water produced by melting snows.
Springtails frequent damp or wet locations and during much of the year occur in decaying leaves, moss, or loose soil and underneath the loose bark of trees, where most species feed on microscopic fungi and algae. They occur abundantly in the moist soil, especially in woodland humus.
Control measures are not usually recommended or required. Swarms are short lived and don't last more than a few days. Swarming around foundations and doorways can be prevented by eliminating excess moisture and keeping ground level entrance areas of buildings free of rotting leaves and debris. Snowfleas or springtails are not likely to survive long in a dry indoor environment.

This paper deals with the estimation of gait velocity and distance by the velocity compensation using adaptive Kalman filter. This method compensates gait velocity by using the velocities calculated by forward time integration and backward time integration. We conducted the measurement experiment the 5m gait test and the 10m gait test. The motion capture was used to the experiment in the 5m gait test. The results for gait distance in the 5m gait test indicated the results by proposed method is corresponding to that by the motion capture. Furthermore, the proposed method indicated the effective results in the 10m gait test. This method can be used for the gait analysis using the wearable force plates.

text: Semiconductor clusters, particularly gallium arsenide, have potential applications in nonlinear optical devices. Special interest is generated by the fact that their optical and electronic behavior depends on the size of the cluster. Direct evidence is presented for the occurrence of hexagonal, i.e., wurtzite-type structure, GaAs in clusters, whereas bulk GaAs has zinc-blende structure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and electron diffraction results are reported and interpreted. Suggestions are made for further work.


text: We take a null hypersurface (causal horizon) generated by a congruence of null geodesics as the boundary of the Doran-Lobo-Crawford spacetime to be the place where the Brown-York quasilocal energy is located. The components of the outer and inner stress tensors are computed and shown to depend on time and on the impact parameter b of the test-particle trajectory. The spacetime is a solution of Einstein's equations with an anisotropic fluid as source. The surface energy density σ on the boundary is given by the same expression as that obtained previously for the energy stored on a Rindler horizon. For time intervals long compared to b (when the stretched horizon tends to the causal one), the components of the stress tensors become constant.

LCD display and viewing angle
 1. Jul 7, 2008 #1
 What is the detailed explanation of the limited viewing angle experienced with LCD displays? Since LCD relies on polarization, it seems to me that with reflective displays (i.e. ones without built-in light source, using onyl reflected external light) the amount of light reflected from the display depends heavily on the viewing angle, since the reflected light is polarized, so for some angles no light will be reflect at all etc. (as in Brewster's angle). However, how you explain this in backlit displays?

In this paper, a grayscale wavelet moment and entropy combined feature, which can well represent the images with much
lower dimensions, is proposed for the MSTAR targets' classification, also a discriminative feature selection and
evaluation method for multi-class targets is presented. By introducing SVM as the classifier to some simulation tests, it
can be shown that the grayscale wavelet moment and entropy combined feature has good capability for translation,
scaling and rotation transformation in both local information and global information conditions, by the reasons of
wavelet moments' multi-resolution analysis, moment invariant quality and entropy's statistic quality for image disorder.
The test also confirms that this feature has a significant improvement on classificatory accuracy using SVM with a lower
feature dimension than the other features such as the single wavelet moment, Hu's moment and PCA.

In order to assess the current situation, the main library at 355 Schoenbeck Rd., Wheeling, completed engineering studies on the building in 2010 and 2013 and community focus groups in 2012. These studies determined there were several mechanical and building issues that needed to be resolved for the building to operate as cost-efficiently as possible. For example, we currently have an all electric building that is very inefficient for heating and cooling the facility.
The library also lacks sufficient meeting and classroom space to serve our members' needs. The current building is 46,000 square feet, which is inadequate to serve our population of 67,000. Almost 15,000 square feet will be added to the building.

Provided by Prince William County Service Authority
The Prince William County Service Authority has begun performing important rehabilitation work on the sanitary sewer system in easements near the Potomac Festival shopping center and Telegraph Road in Woodbridge.
The work is expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. Because this rehabilitation work is "trenchless," there will be virtually no impact on traffic. The inside of sanitary sewer pipes will be lined with a resin-like substance, called Cured-in-Place-Pipe or CIPP, which helps protect the mains from tree root intrusion and corrosion that can occur over long periods of time. The lining process is done instead of replacing the pipe, which is often a much more costly and disruptive measure for both customers and the utility.
CIPP also prevents groundwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer system during rain events, which helps reduce the amount of flow to the wastewater treatment plant.
The average sewer pipe lasts about 40 years, while CIPP can extend that lifespan to 90 years.
Each year, the Service Authority inspects more than a hundred miles of sewer line to determine where CIPP would be most effective. Since July 2017, the Service Authority has lined nearly two miles of sewer main.

The Boeing Company ranked No. 16 on The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2022.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) presented Boeing with the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator Award, honoring its industry team to lead the development and testing of a Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) demonstrator airplane.
With developments and tests like this, the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) program will help the industry discover breakthroughs in aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
"The Sustainable Flight Demonstrator program has the potential to make a major contribution toward a sustainable future," said Greg Hyslop, Boeing Chief Engineer and Executive Vice President of Engineering, Test and Technology. "It represents an opportunity to design, build and fly a full-scale experimental plane, while solving novel technical problems."
The SFD program has a mission to help the civil aviation industry reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It also supports the goals put in place in the White House's U.S. Aviation Climate Action Plan.
A single-aisle airplane with a TTBW configuration aids these goals. This style of airplane could reduce fuel consumption and emissions up to 30%.
Boeing has recently invested $110 million in sustainable aviation research, contributing to a total of $725 million in funding to the SFD program among its industry partners.


Animations and MVVM
This week I was asked from a colleague of mine, 'How do I fire a command once a storyboard has completed?'. Do we have to break the MVVM here and write code behind. The answer is simple, HELL NO….
Attached Behavior to the rescue. Basically we can do this task by using an attached property, that will hook up to the Completed event of the storyboard and fire the command for us on the ViewModel. Here's how to do this
 1: var timeline = d as Timeline;
 2: if (timeline!= null &&!timeline.IsFrozen)
 3: {
 4: timeline.Completed += delegate
 5: {
 6: ICommand command = GetCommand(d);
 7: object param = GetCommandParameter(d);
 9: if(command!= null && command.CanExecute( param ))
 10: GetCommand(d).Execute(GetCommandParameter(d));
 11: };
 12: }
and here is how to use this in XAML
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 6:
 7:
 8:
In the sample application (that is provided below with this article) shows how to animate some item in an items control and when the animation is completed the Storyboard executes a command that actually removes the item from the binding list.
I also created another simple class so that you can execute a Command from an EventTrigger. This is very handy since sometimes we want to execute a Command on a VM when some arbitrary RoutedEvent is raised. Here is the code for that
 1: public class CommandTimeline : Storyboard
 2: {
 3: protected override Duration GetNaturalDurationCore(Clock clock)
 4: {
 5: return new Duration(TimeSpan.FromTicks(1));
 6: }
 8: protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
 9: {
 10: return new CommandTimeline();
 11: }
 12: }
and here is how to consume it
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5:
As you can see this reuses the attached behavior that is used on normal storyboards. The only difference between a Storyboard and a CommandTimeline is that a CommandTimeline returns a Duration of 0 so the Completed event gets raised immediately.
PLEASE NOTE: This can be only used in an event trigger. When this is used with DataTriggers etc you will get an exception saying that the Trigger cannot be sealed. This happens because you cannot hook up to the Completed event of a storyboard in a DataTrigger/Trigger. In order to workaround this I use AttacedRoutedEvents so that I can have EventTriggers executing my commands.

Sync Multi Select Listbox with ViewModel
Today one of my colleagues at Infusion asked me how he could sync up the selection of a ListBox with his ViewModel. WPF supports already single mode selection via the ICollectionView yet when it comes to MultiSelect there is no out of the box support in WPF.
Attached Properties to the rescue ….. 🙂
I quickly when in my VS and wrote up a simple Attached property that hooks to the SelectionChanged event of the ListBox and populates a list of selected items to the ViewModel.
This is how the attached property looks like
 1: _TAG_ SelectedItems
 3: ///
 4: /// SelectedItems Attached Dependency Property
 5: ///
 6: public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedItemsProperty =
 7: DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("SelectedItems", typeof(IList), typeof(ListBoxHelper),
 8: new FrameworkPropertyMetadata((IList)null,
 9: new PropertyChangedCallback(OnSelectedItemsChanged)));
 11: ///
 12: /// Gets the SelectedItems property. This dependency property
 13: /// indicates....
 14: ///
 15: public static IList GetSelectedItems(DependencyObject d)
 16: {
 17: return (IList)d.GetValue(SelectedItemsProperty);
 18: }
 20: ///
 21: /// Sets the SelectedItems property. This dependency property
 22: /// indicates....
 23: ///
 24: public static void SetSelectedItems(DependencyObject d, IList value)
 25: {
 26: d.SetValue(SelectedItemsProperty, value);
 27: }
 29: ///
 30: /// Handles changes to the SelectedItems property.
 31: ///
 32: private static void OnSelectedItemsChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
 33: {
 34: var listBox = (ListBox)d;
 35: ReSetSelectedItems(listBox);
 36: listBox.SelectionChanged += delegate
 37: {
 38: ReSetSelectedItems(listBox);
 39: };
 40: }
 42: _TAG_
 44: private static void ReSetSelectedItems(ListBox listBox)
 45: {
 46: IList selectedItems = GetSelectedItems(listBox);
 47: selectedItems.Clear();
 48: if (listBox.SelectedItems!= null)
 49: {
 50: foreach (var item in listBox.SelectedItems)
 51: selectedItems.Add(item);
 52: }
 53: }
and here is how you would use it in the XAML
 1:
As you can see all you have to set is the List you want to populate in the ViewModel and the rest is taken care of by the Attached Property.
Please Note: This code was implemented quickly without any testing to prove an implementation idea, so please do review it before putting it in production 🙂

A Guide to Blanking in Contract Manufacturing
Many startups and small product manufacturing businesses do not have the capital needed to construct and operate a production facility. In these situations, they often turn to contract manufacturers to make their products so they do not need to invest in their own factory. Below, we provide an overview of contract manufacturing, discussing what it is, what types are available, what to look for in a good partner, and what role blanking can play in the process.
What Is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing is a business relationship in which one company (the contracting company) outsources some or all of its manufacturing operations to another company (the contracted company). The contracted company produces parts and products to the specifications given to it by the contracting company.
There are many advantages to forming a partnership with a contract manufacturer. For example, the contracting company does not need to worry about making their products, so they can focus their resources and efforts on other parts of the business, such as sales and marketing. Additionally, contract manufacturers may offer other services that can further streamline the product development process for the customer, such as design assistance, assembly, and distribution.
What Are the Different Forms of Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can be classified into several categories depending on what the contracted company provides to the contracting company. Four of the most common are:
 - Producing complete goods. This type of manufacturing relationship is also referred to as private label manufacturing. In this situation, the contracted company produces complete products for the contracting company. In addition to making all of the parts and components that go into the product, they assemble them together.
 - Producing parts or components. In this situation, the contracted company produces parts or components for the contracting company. The contracting company then uses these pieces in their own assembly operations to create finished products.
 - Supplying a service or labor. In this situation, the contracted company provides services to the contracting company, such as design, manufacturing, and distribution. The contracting company uses these services as part of their product development process. The contracted company may also supply a labor force if the contracting company does not have the manpower to carry out production.
 - Providing manufacturing equipment or facilities. In this situation, the contracted company allows the contracting company to use their equipment or facility to make the desired products.
7 Qualities to Look for in a Contract Manufacturer
Given the key role a contract manufacturer has in the production of a product, companies must choose who they partner with carefully. Otherwise, they risk subpar products, unmet production orders, and more.
The seven top qualities to look for in a good contract manufacturing partner are:
 1. ISO Certification
 2. Good Reputation in Market
 3. Good Financial Situation
 4. Clean Facility
 5. Good Management at the Facility
 6. Flexible to Market
 7. Can Meet Product Demand
How Does Precision Blanking Fit in With Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can encompass a wide range of manufacturing processes, including precision blanking. Precision blanking is a fabrication process that uses a punch and die to remove a piece—i.e., a blank—from a sheet or strip of material. Both the punch and die are in the shape of the desired component, ensuring the piece removed has the proper form.

Gentrification and Health: Measured, Perceived, and Experienced
Join the Department of Social Sciences for this Great Problems, Great Minds seminar series event featuring guest speaker Yongmei Lu, professor and chair of the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Texas State University.
Gentrification refers to the process of urban neighborhood change due to influx of more affluent people and households. It is often accompanied by rent increase, shifts in neighborhood demographic characteristics, and resharing of economic and cultural landscape. Although gentrification may be considered as a stage of urban development, it is controversial in urban politics and planning and debatable for urban life and community well-being. By shifting a neighborhood's characteristics and landscape, gentrification is a housing, economic, culture, and health issue. Adopting a geospatial analysis approach and looking through a social justice lens, Lu argues for a people-based exposure assessment framework when examining the health impacts of gentrification. This seminar talk will also discuss the empirical findings on health impacts of gentrification on the long-time residents in selected urban neighborhoods in Austin, Texas.

We designed an improved shunt valve for the treatment of hydrocephalus. With this new valve, the surgeon can independently control the opening pressure of the valve and the siphoning effects. In the chosen ball diaphragm valve design, a spring-loaded ball obstructs the flow until the proximal pressure rises above the pressure setting. Changes in the distal pressure act on a pressure sensitive surface to vary the opening pressure applied to the ball. A control equation mathematically describes the behavior of the valve and relates design parameters to the desired siphon control ratio and the principal pressure setting. The geometry and dimensions of the individual components were determined with the control equation and other mathematical analyses. This analysis demonstrated that our design is feasible and effective. Design and construction of a scaled-up, proof of concept prototype has been completed. Testing has been carried out to demonstrate that our design addresses the problems of adjustable siphon control and programmability in a single valve.

Recycled artificial grass – 3D printed
The artificial grass waste in the Netherlands is growing and since April 2019, a number of companies (chain partners) have joined hands to change this, and the GBN Artificial Grass (GBN-AGR) has been established. This results in a plant for recycling artificial turf in June 2020. The end products of this plant are circular raw materials such as circular sand, circular sand, circular SBR, circular TPE and RTA. These raw materials are pressed into moulds using traditional production methods and from which rubber tiles, edging boards, picnic sets are manufactured. Given the quantity of artificial grass mats, there is a need from the chain partners to realise more and higher-quality products.
The research focuses on a different production method '3D printing' to achieve the high-quality and innovative products. Partly because in the current manufacturing sector, 3D printing companies are not yet familiar with the circular raw materials, as the 3D printing filament is not yet available.
Through material research, development of 3D printing filament, testing of the filament, the first steps are taken towards a raw material that can be used for high-quality product development. Also, a product design for a product applicable to the artificial turf pitch, an infiltration crate, dugout or field edge will be created. And a prototype (at scale level) will be manufactured with the 3D printing filament derived from the circular raw material of the recycled artificial grass.
The ultimate goal is to shrink the artificial grass waste in the Netherlands, by:
- Demonstrating to the manufacturing industry that recycled artificial grass can be a basic raw material when developing a product.
- 3D printing is a production method to make high-quality products from recycled synthetic turf, in addition to the already existing traditional production methods.

Collegeville Connections | Metaphor as a Tool for Discernment
Document Type
Publication Date
How do individuals and churches collectively discern what choices to make? And how can metaphors, such as pottery, help with the process?
In Fall 2020, the Collegeville Institute's Communities of Calling Initiative gathered leaders from the 13 participating congregations for the virtual Treasure in Clay Jars retreat. Designed by project director Rev. Dr. Jane Patterson and program associate Jessie Bazan, the retreat invited participants to play with the metaphor of pottery as a way of reflecting on their individual and congregational callings.
In this Collegeville Connections presentation, Jane and Jessie will explore the value of metaphor as a tool for discernment and use the metaphor of pottery to reflect with some Communities of Calling Initiative participants about their recent experiences in congregational life.
