Abstract
An electromagnetic linear actuator (EMLA) has a promising application in direct motion control. However, ELMA will inevitably inherit uncertainties in the face of load changes, system parameter perturbation, and inherent system nonlinearities, all of which constitute disturbances adversely affecting the precision and adaptability of the control system. A model-free adaptive control (MFAC) strategy based on full form dynamic linearization (FFDL) was proposed to reduce the sensitivity of the control system to the disturbances. An adaptive control of direct drive servo valve was achieved based on the online interaction of characteristic parameters and control algorithms. The feasibility and precision of the proposed algorithm were verified through simulation and experimental results. The results show that the proposed algorithm could achieve adaptive adjustment of the servo valve response at different openings of 0-3 mm without changing control parameters, with the response time controlled within 10ms and steady state error less than 0.04mm. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm had better robustness and capacity of resisting disturbance.
1. Introduction
Electromagnetic linear actuator (EMLA) has a wide range of applications in the field of linear motion control, because of high-precision, high-response, and nonintermediate conversion [1, 2]. EMLA has been widely applied in electromagnetic engine valve, automatic transmission, and freedom motion platform of six degrees. It has also drawn more and more attention as a part of electrical-mechanical conversion device of direct drive servo valve [35].
Currently, many algorithms on the moving control of electromagnetic actuators have been discussed [6]. Typical control algorithms include iterative learning control [7], inverse system method control [8], and sliding mode control [9]. However, for direct drive servo valve, the control algorithm is normally based on accurate modeling for control object, which is very difficult to be achieved; thus control effect is poor [10, 11].
On the other hand, in order to meet the highly responsive requirements, data-driven algorithms, such as the classic PID control, have large differential coefficient and are more likely to cause system instability [12]. For discrete-time nonlinear systems, MFAC (Model-Free Adaptive Control) uses a new dynamic linearization method and a concept of pseudo-partial derivative. MFAC depends only on real-time measurement data of the control system, rather than depending on any mathematical model information of the control system. Through online interactions of characteristic parameters and control algorithms, the amendment of Pan model as well as the ideal control function of system can be achieved [13]. Since proposed by Hou Zhongsheng 20 years ago, MFAC has been used in permanent magnet linear motor [14, 15], freeway traffic systems, wind power plant, some complex industrial processes, etc. [16].
In this paper, a model-free adaptive control strategy was proposed based on full format dynamic linearization to achieve better control effect and high-response. Simulation and test were carried out to verify the adaptive control of ELMA for direct drive servo valve.
2. System Description
The schematic diagram and three-dimensional model of ELMA in direct drive servo valve are shown in Figure 1. It mainly consists of magneto-resistive displacement sensor, electromagnetic linear actuator, poppet valve, seat, and valve cover fixed to the central axis. The gas inlet is connected to the external air fuel supply line.
The electromagnetic linear actuator controls the actuator current and position to achieve double-loop control spool motion through a certain control algorithm, thus controlling the opening of the servo valve connected to spool. Therefore, the spool movement is able to follow the predetermined motion rule.
3. Model-Free Adaptive Controller Design
3.1. Control Algorithm Design
Model-Free adaptive controller is based on "nonparametric model", also known as "pan model". It is worth noting that the term of "model-free" basically refers to the fact that the controller does not need to recognize the global dynamic model of controlled objects. With the help of dynamic linear technology, this model-free adaptive controller builds equivalent dynamic linear data near the work point at each sampling instant. Even though the data model is fictitious, the controller only needs to control the input and output (I/O) data of the object, which is a design method integrating identification and control as a whole [17].
The control system of electromagnetic linear direct drive servo valve can be seen as a single-input and single-output system in discrete time. Input refers to controlled current or voltage signal, while output refers to lift range, that is, valve opening. The general discrete-time single-input single-output (SISO) nonlinear system is expressed as follows [18]:where and are system input and output at the instant , and are two unknown positive integers, and is an unknown nonlinear system.
By utilizing the dynamic linearization method of MFAC theory [19, 20], the nonlinear discrete system can be equivalently converted to a dynamic linear data model based on input and output data increment. Data model based on FFDL (Full Form Dynamic Linearization) can be expressed aswhere is incremental output at two adjacent moments, is bounded pseudo-gradient, and are system pseudo-orders, is a time-varying parameter vector of pseudo-gradient, and is change vector consisting of all input and output signals in the sliding time window.
Based on this model, the control plan of FFDL-MFAC iswhere is the weighting factor as well as the penalty factor for controlling input change. The smaller the , the faster the system responses, overshoot, or instability that may be generated; on the contrary, the greater the is, the more stable the input and output are, and the smaller the overshoot is. is step factor, , , which is set to make the control algorithm design more flexible. is the desired system output.
3.2. PG Vector
The traditional parameter estimation criterion function is to minimize the square of the difference between the system model output and the real output. However, when applying the parameter estimation algorithm derived from such a criterion function, the estimated value of the parameter often changes too fast, or some inaccurate sampled data of mutations (which may be caused by interference or sensor failure) are too sensitive. To this end, for the EMLA system in this paper, the following estimation criterion function is used.According to the optimal condition , the upper formula is used to find the extremum of , and the matrix inversion lemma is used to obtain the estimation algorithm of PG.where is a weighting factor, is a step factor, , and is the estimated value of . If or , or , , is the initial value of . is sufficiently small positive integer, which is set to 0.0001 in simulation. Therefore, model-free adaptive control algorithm was established based on full format. With this established algorithm, the controller is designed using the online input and output data measured by closed-loop control system, which does not significantly or implicitly contain any information related to the control system dynamic model.
3.3. Control Scheme
By combining the control algorithm of the previous nonlinear chaotic system and the corresponding pseudo-partial derivative estimation algorithm, the model-free adaptive control scheme of chaotic system can be given as follows.In this scheme, the introduction of (9) is to make the pseudo-partial derivative estimation algorithm have stronger ability to track time-varying parameters. In this scheme, only one one-dimensional parameter, i.e., system pseudo-bias, needs to be adjusted online. It can be seen from the control scheme (8)-(10) that the proposed model-free adaptive control scheme only uses the I/O data of the controlled system for controller design, which is basically a data-driven control method. The proposed control scheme is independent of the explicit or implicit dynamic model and system structure information of the controlled system, so it is a control method typically for the modeless nonlinear system.
3.4. Stability Analysis of Algorithm
Before analyzing the robust stability of the above algorithm, the following assumptions are proposed.
Assumption 1. The partial derivative of the function with respect to the variables is continuous except for a finite time point.
Assumption 2. Except for the finite time point, the system satisfies the generalized Lipschitz condition; that is, at any time , , and , there is the following relationship: is a constant.
Assumption 1 is a typical constraint on general nonlinear systems in control system design.
Assumption 2 is a limitation on the upper bound of the system's output rate of change. A bounded input energy change should produce a bounded output energy change within the system.
Assumption 3. For a given bounded desired output signal , there is always a bounded amount . The system is driven by the control input signal and its output is equal to .
Assumption 4. At any time k and , the symbol of the system's PPD remains unchanged; i.e., , is a small positive number.
Assumption 3 is a necessary condition for the design of the control problem; that is, the output of the system is controllable.
Assumption 4 means that the corresponding output of controlled system should be undiminished when the control input is increased, which can be considered as a "quasi-linear" feature of the system.
Theorem 5. If system (1) satisfies assumptions 1–4, there is a positive number , so that when ,(1),(2) and are bounded sequence.
Proof. Define as the pseudo-partial derivative estimation error of the control algorithm. In the parameter estimation algorithm (8), by subtracting the terminal with , we can obtain the following.By substituting into


Distributed Antenna System
What Does Distributed Antenna System Mean?
A distributed antenna system (DAS) is a network of spatially or geographically separated antenna nodes that are connected to a common source through a transport or communication medium in order to provide wireless communication service in a specific locality or building. A DAS can be deployed indoors (iDAS) to provide network or cellular connectivity throughout a building or outdoors (oDAS) in areas where regular wireless coverage does not reach.

Techopedia Explains Distributed Antenna System
A distributed antenna system is a way to extend the coverage of a given network such as a cellular network or wireless computer network. All of the antennas are spaced from each other in such a way that each one is able to give full coverage without much overlap with the coverage areas of other antennas, minimizing the number of antennas required to cover a specific area.
All of the antennas in a DAS are simply extenders for signal coverage and are all connected to a central controller that, in turn, is connected to a carrier's base station. The RF spectrum covered by a DAS is licensed to wireless carriers, so enterprises cannot deploy a DAS on their own and must always involve a carrier, making the deployment the most expensive phase of a DAS project.
A DAS can be either passive or active. A passive DAS simply takes wireless signals from an antenna and then runs them through "leaky" feeder cables that act as antennas all over the building; the signal leakage distributes the signals. An active DAS takes the wireless signals from an external antenna and passes them to other antennas through fiber cables while being boosted and amplified along the way.

Arizona-based QuakeWrap Inc. has been awarded a $150,000 Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to further develop the revolutionary InfinitPipe.
Developed by QuakeWrap president Dr. Mo Ehsani, who is also professor emeritus of civil engineering at University of Arizona, the patent-pending InfinitPipe allows onsite manufacturing of pipes that can be miles long without any joint. Joints are the primary source of leakage and environmental pollution in pipelines.
Conventional pipes are made with solid walls in short segments that are joined together in the field. The walls of InfinitPipe are made of a lightweight honeycomb core with carbon fiber as skin reinforcement. This reduces the weight of the pipe to nearly 10 percent of conventional pipes. The construction procedure does not require any heavy mixing equipment or furnaces, lending itself to onsite manufacturing. According to the inventor, Prof. Ehsani, "The mobile manufacturing unit can produce the pipe in a continuous joint-free manner, burying the finished pipe in a pre-cut trench as the equipment travels along the trench."
The primary market targeted for InfinitPipe is water transmission lines where pipes in diameters ranging from 2 to 8 ft are commonly used. Eliminating the shipping charges for such large diameter pipes is a major advantage of InfinitPipe. As a part of the study, a series of tests will be performed at the Louisiana Tech University's Trenchless Technology Center.
Ehsani said, "The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is enormous, considering the versatility and low cost of the pipes, in addition to the corrosion resistance that they provide. The ability to produce pipelines onsite has far-reaching implications for remote locations and developing nations which have little to no infrastructure for natural gas discovery and water delivery systems. As the mobile manufacturing units are developed and the process becomes more efficient, the resulting cost-savings, not only in terms of the pipe itself but also on equipment and freight costs, will be substantial. This, in addition to the long-term savings from reduced leakage and maintenance of these pipelines, will lead to an industry shift toward this greener, more efficient technology."

Najdi sheep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Najdi (sheep))
Jump to: navigation, search
Najdi sheep in Unaizah, Saudi Arabia
The Najdi or Nejdi is a breed of domestic sheep native to the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula. Though it is primarily raised in Saudi Arabia, Nadji sheep are also present in Kuwait, Jordan, Oman and Iraq.[1]
The Najdi has a distinctive appearance that has even been celebrated in Saudi "sheep beauty pageants" not unlike livestock shows and sales in the West.[2] They are a very tall breed, averaging 76–86 centimeters (30–34 inches) in height at the withers.[1] They have long, Roman nosed faces with drooping ears. Ewes are polled and rams may be either polled or have scurs. They are generally black with white faces and white on the legs and tail. Top Najdi ewes can sell for 20,000–30,000 Saudi riyals (US$5,300–8,000), while rams which can sire many more offspring can fetch hundreds of thousands.[2]
Najdi are highly adapted to life in desert conditions, though it is less drought tolerant than some breeds, such as the Awassi.[3] [4] Though its meat may be consumed locally, it is especially valued for its milk and long, straight wool.[4]

EL CERRITO -- While its setting and mild climate may not resemble a Caribbean island in any way, the city has become a center for steel drum music, a style that originated in Trinidad and Tobago, islands off the coast of Venezuela.
Steel drum musician Harry Best, a fixture at local weddings, parties and receptions with his band Shabang, opened Panwest Caribbean Steelpan Music Center on San Pablo Avenue in August.
The studio provides a central location for the steel drum lessons that Best, an El Sobrante resident, was teaching in Walnut Creek and Richmond. Best also teaches in San Rafael.
Steel drums, which produce a sound associated with calypso music, originated at the end of World War II, but the whole tradition goes back to African slaves, Best said.
"In Trinidad and Tobago, the colonial power was British," he said. "Traditional African drums were suppressed because it was thought they were used to foster runaways and rebellions."
Thus, the residents began a tradition of fashioning drums from whatever they could find.
The U.S. Navy brought steel oil drums to Trinidad after oil was discovered on the island. Eventually, an enterprising musician found that discarded drums could be made into instruments that created an original sound.
Soon players discovered that dents in the barrels could alter the sound and they "proceeded to deliberately create dents," Best said.
"The steel drum produces a tingling sound, a
Steel drums have come a long way since the early days. Today, drum makers stretch the bottoms of drum barrels, often custom made, into a concave shape using a sledge hammer in a process known as "shrinking the pan."
The depth to which the barrels are "shrunk" depends on the tone the instrument is expected to give.
Bass drums are shallow while a tenor steel drum pan is deep, producing a higher-pitched, shriller sound.
The steel drum sound is also determined by the number of drums used. A soprano drum is single drum, the alto is comprised of two drums and the tenor three. The bass is made up of six large barrels, Best said.
On average, a steel drum pan needs to be tuned twice a year, depending upon how much and how hard it is played. The finished pan is often painted in bright colors, or dipped in chrome for a reflective finish.
"These instruments are still hand-crafted and every steel pan is different from the others," Best said. "One guy in San Rafael makes them, and the biggest outfit in the United States is in Ohio."
Best is from St. Lucia, a small island in the eastern Caribbean, but he said he played the steel drums only casually when he was growing up because steel drumming on the island was concentrated in "some rough neighborhoods."
He became more active after coming to the United States at age 17 to attend City College of San Francisco and then UC Berkeley, where he was on the varsity soccer team.
Best and some friends got together to practice informally, and he eventually turned the pastime into a career as performer, recording artist and teacher.
Panwest Caribbean Steelpan Music Center is at 10855 San Pablo Ave. in El Cerrito. Details: _PHONE_.

water, the undisturbed soil samples were prepared by Kubina boxes. Then the soil samples thin sections were provided and
studied with polarized microscope. Micromorphological characteristics of upper and lower parts of the crust were studied
under different rain intensities with Image Tool3. Results indicated the main changes in upper and lower parts of crusts by
different rainfall intensities and down ward movement of particles caused clay accumulation in 1.5 to3cm of crusts. Also
intensity of 47 mm/hours produced a strong suspension and a Hallo pedofuture formation around the sand particles and Tuff.

Editorial: Professor sued over casual touch
Marta Sanchez, a student at the University of Virginia Law School, is claiming that an incident of personal contact between herself and Professor Kenneth Abraham during one of his lectures caused her severe mental anguish and is seeking $35,000 in damages. This lawsuit should not be allowed to continue. There must be a reasonable agreement made before university professors are left defenseless in their classrooms.
During a lecture, Abraham was explaining a legal issue and to demonstrate his point (adding that he probably shouldn't do what he was about to do) proceeded to lay his hand on the shoulder of the student closest to him. That student happened to be Marta Sanchez.
At age 11, Sanchez, who is from Panama, became a victim of repeated physical, mental and sexual abuse and, as a result, experiences great difficulty with personal contact. The incident made Sanchez very uncomfortable, and she took her concerns to university counselors. Sanchez found the outcome of a meeting with Abraham unsatisfying and decided to bring a civil lawsuit against Abraham.
There is no doubt that Sanchez was affected by the incident because of her sensitivity to personal contact, but there is no way that Abraham could have known that. Holding him accountable for this action is setting a precedent that will cause any friendly relations between professor and student to be grounds for litigation.
Professors cannot know the history of each student, and though Abraham's actions were harmless, it is best if they keep their hands to themselves. It should also be understood that personal contact is not always avoidable. Furthermore, Sanchez's suit should be thrown out when it reaches circuit court because, by all accounts, she had no reason to believe that Abraham would make any kind of inappropriate advance toward her, and he made the context of his actions quite clear.

Environmentally friendly flushing aims to send only the concentrations of the sediment that the environment can withstand. In this study, the time required for environmentally friendly flushing in Dez dam reservoir was estimated. For this purpose, the relationship between the concentration, duration, and scale of the severity of ill-effect for fish was considered. A study was conducted on Dez dam reservoir in Iran, where the average historical outflow from the dam, and the volume of sediment flushing was evaluated. According to this study, the dam is facing a serious sedimentation problem. Its dead volume is presumed to be quite full in the coming 10 years. Performing flushing operations through the three irrigation gates of the dam has received much more attention in recent years as compared to the past. The results from this study help us to determine the appropriate hydraulic conditions to decrease the negative environmental effects of Dez dam flushing operations on the downstream ecosystem.

A chicken in Brazil laid an egg with a text message
A chicken in Brazil laid an egg with a text message 3
This happened in the municipality of Ceará, Brazil. According to, a stunned farmer named Raimundo Aluceno came to the local newspaper and demanded that the jounalists send the best scientists to the poultry farm. The reason for this was one of his birds, which laid a somewhat abnormal egg.
A chicken in Brazil laid an egg with a text message 4
Raimundo has long been engaged in his business and has seen everything. But for the chicken to lay an egg with some mysterious symbols – this is what he sees for the first time.
First, our hero shared the discovery with his neighbors, who, too, were stunned. Then at a meeting of the villagers, it was decided to send Raimundo to the scientists to explain this strange phenomenon.
Unfortunately, he did not reach the scientists, however, the TV channel Monólitos, broadcasting in Portuguese, became interested in the incident. The journalists went to the place and checked everything, after which they took a short interview from Raimundo.
The egg turned out to be real, not fake, and now no one knows how to interpret this event. The opinions of people are divided.
So, many people think that aliens are to blame for everything, since Brazil is a continuous anomalous zone. But why did aliens need this? Is this some kind of joke or message left to people?
On the other hand, many see the divine sign in everything. Moreover, since the symbols more closely resemble to numbers, not letters, believers see this as the date of prophecy about the Apocalypse.

The situation with this egg is funny on one hand, and not on the the other. Why it is not funny can be understood if we recall that many cultures of the world are engaged in coloring eggs – they draw some patterns, inscriptions and so on.
All this, of course, could be some kind of witchcraft, whose roots go back to times about which nothing is known. But, apparently, there was some reason for the ancient people to make inscriptions on chicken eggs.
Maybe the ancients really had some sacred birds through which some forces transmitted messages to people, painting something on the shell. Then the messages ceased and the people themselves began to draw some patterns, repeating a forgotten ritual.
If this assumption is correct, then probably these ancient and forgotten times are returning and now many birds in the world will be carrying some quotes and valuable advice, so we follow the development of events.

If learner drivers are going to be heading on to a motorway for a lesson, this MUST be with an official instructor in a car with dual controls (which I feel is comforting for other road users, as many people had originally voiced their concerns of learner drivers being on a motorway in a car without dual control).
This change in law is hoping to give new drivers more confidence with driving on the motorway, after 27 per cent of drivers said they were scared when they first went on to a motorway according to a study from AA. The likes of RAC and AA have also welcomed these changes.
In my opinion, as long as the driving instructor feels the learner driver is at a sensible level, then I don't see there being any issues. Only time will tell if these changes lead to a decrease in motorway accidents in younger drivers.
Learner drivers in England, Wales and Scotland are now allowed to have lessons on the motorway. Previously only those who had passed their test could do so, but lessons are now allowed in a dual-control car with an approved driving instructor. The government says the move will help learners gain experience to drive safely. The law change has been welcomed by the AA and RAC Foundation, among other motoring groups. Road safety minister Jesse Norman said: "Britain's roads are among the safest in the world, but road collisions remain the second biggest killer of young people. "Allowing learner drivers to have motorway lessons with a qualified road safety expert will help more young drivers to gain the skills and experience they need to drive safely on motorways."

User Manager
Creating a User Manager Visualization and deploy it to IIS
Creating a User Manager Visualization using SmartEditor/Blend
The objective of this tutorial is to create a User Manager visualization using SmartEditor (See WEBfactorySmartEditor User Interface) and build it. Expression Blend or Visual Studio can be used too for achieving the same result.
The visualization will contain three WEBfactory controls:
 - a Login control (for authentication)
 - a Language selector control (for selecting the display language)
 - a User manager control (See WEBfactory User Manager for more details about User Manager)
The first step in developing a visualization is creating the project (SmartEditor/Expression Blend):
 1. in WEBfactory Smart Editor create a new project and name it DemoVisualization
 Creating a new project in SmartEditor
 2. In Expression Blend, it is necessary to create a new WEBfactory Silverlight Application + Website. Reference all the WEBfactory libraries after creating the project (right-click on References, select Add Reference and navigate to the Silverlight/Standard folder in the WEBfactory installation directory; select all the dll files and add them as references).
 Creating a visualization in Expression Blend
 3. Once the project is created, select the Page and resize it to 1024x576. This way the controls will have enough space to display properly, without being too clustered.
 4. To resize the Page in SmartEditor, go in the Property Inspector, in the Appearance category and select the desired size from the drop-down menu.
 Resize a page in SmartEditor
 5. to resize the page in Expression Blend, select the User Control from the Objects and Timeline panel, and set the desired size from the Layout category in the Properties panel.
 Resize a page in Expression Blend
 6. Next, drag the following controls on the page and arrange them to fit properly
 7. in SmartEditor, drag the controls from the Toolbox
 - User Login Dialog (from Security category);
 - Language Selector (from Language category);
 - WFUserManager (from User Management category).
 8. In Expression Blend, use the Assets button to search for the controls
 - WFUserLogin1
 - WFLanguage
 - WFUserManager
 Adding controls in Expression Blend
 The resulting layout should look like this:
 The layout of the visualization
 9. Build the project by clicking the Run button in the Ribbon (or F5) in SmartEditor, or Project > Build Project (F6) in Expression Blend.
 10. In the web browser, select the desired language and log in to gain access to the User Manager.
If the visualization is not deployed to IIS and set up, the "Error while loading the records!" error will pop up while loading the User Manager.
To use the User Manager visualization properly, it is necessary to deploy it in IIS.
Creating a User Manager Visualization using Visual Studio
This tutorial will describe the steps needed to use the User Manager control in a Visual Studio project. The process of developing a Visual Studio visualization project containing the User Manager control are:
Creating and setting up the Visual Studio project
 1. Create a new Silverlight Application project in Visual Studio and name it UserManagerVS.
 Creating a the new project in Visual Studio
 The WEBfactory Silverlight libraries need to be referenced in the project.
 2. Right click on References under the UserManagerVS project in the Solution Explorer and select add reference.
 Referencing the WEBfactory Silverlight libraries
 3. In the Add Reference window select the Browse tab and navigate to C:/Program Files/WEBfactory 2010 /Silverlight/Standard (or C:/Program Files (x86)/WEBfactory 2010 /Silverlight/Standard if using a 64 bit system).
 Select all the dll files in the Standard folder and click Ok to confirm. The process might take up to few minutes.
 We also need to reference some dll files to the web application part of the project. This dll files are necessary only for User Manager, because the User Manager needs to use the RIA services in order to work.
 4. Right-click on the References under the UserManagerVS.Web and select Add Reference.... The dll files we need to reference are located in the installation folder of WEBfactory 2010 \Studio\UserManager\bin\. Navigate to this location and reference the dll files from that folder.
 References needed for the UserManagerVS.Web application
 After the referencing is done, head into the MainPage.xaml (it should be opened by default). The page size is too small to be used with the User Manager control. The next step is expanding the MainPage surface.
 5. In MainPage XAML code, change the d:DesignHeight and d:DesignWidth values to 600 and 1000 (the default values are 400 and 600). The results can be instantly seen in the Design view of the MainPage.
 Now the project is prepared, so we will head on to the next step.
Placing the User Manager and User Login controls in XAML
In the XAML view of the MainPage, we need to insert the control. The code source will be taken from the libraries we referenced earlier.
 1. First, we need to declare the necessary namespaces in the XAML code. Add the following lines in the XAML code of the MainPage, inside the UserControl tag:
 This namespaces will add the WFUserManagement and WFGeneral assemblies to the project.
 The actual User Manager control needs to be added in the XAML Grid. In order to do so, we need to expand the Grid to the dimensions of the layout.
 2. Add the following properties to the Grid:
 - Width="1000"
 - Height="600"
 3. Inside the Grid tags, place the User Manager control:

 The result can be instantly seen in the design view.
 Notice the Margin properties we defined from the start inside the User Manager control. This margins are needed to define the placement and make room for another necessary control: the User Login control.
 The User Manager cannot work without logging in.
 4. Next, add the User Login control:

 By default, the User Manager language is German. In order to change the language to English, we will need a third control, the Language Selector control. This is an optional step.
 In order to add the Language Selector control, insert the following code after the User Login control:

 The XAML code should look like this:
 The complete XAML code
 All the positioning options (margins, alignments) or size options can be modified based on the developers needs. The values in this tutorial are example values.
 Before building the application, we will need to edit the Web.config file of our UserManagerVS.Web application.
 Earlier we had referenced dll files required by the UserManagerVS.Web application. Now we need to enable the services referenced.
 The web configuration for the web application
 The Web.config contents
 We need to add the code necessary to enable the RIA services:
 - inside the tag, before tag:
 - inside the tags:
 - after the tags:

 The Web.config file will have the following contents:
 New Web.config contents
 5. Press F6 to build the application or F5 to start the debugging and see the result in the browser (a username and password must be provided to log in to User Manager).
 The resulting visualization containing the User Manager control, User Login control and the Language Selector control
 If the Language Selector was inserted, it will appear nest to the User Login button.
Deploying the User Manager Visualization in ISS
In order to have access to the visualization using a web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera), the visualization must be deployed in IIS.
 1. Once the User Manager visualization is build, we need to make the IIS deployment. In order to do that, we need to copy the built project in the wwwroot folder of IIS.
 2. Navigate to C:\Users\UserName\Documents\WEBfactory 2010 Projects and copy the folder DemoVisualization.Web to C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
 The Expression Blend project is located in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Expression\Blend 4\Projects\ProjectName and it is called ProjectNameSite.
 The Visual Studio project is located in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ProjectName.
 The wwwroot folder
 3. After the project is copied to the wwwroot folder, delete the following files/folders:
 - For projects - delete the Build folder inside the ProjectName.Web project folder.
 - For Visual Studio

Tableau date functions
Updated: Nov 7, 2022
tableau date functions
Date functions are calculations used to manipulate date fields in our Tableau data source. For example, you may have a data source containing the Order date (date when an order is placed) and the Shipping date (date when an order is shipped to the customer). To compute, the time it takes to ship orders – you can use the DATEDIFF function, which allows you to compute the difference between two dates in the units specified on the date_part.
Syntax: DATEDIFF (date_part, date1, date2, [start_of_week])
Therefore, in this article – I'll be sharing some of the date functions you can use to manipulate date field in Tableau.
Date functions available in Tableau
1. DATEADD Function
This function returns the specified date, with the number specified on the interval added to the specified date part of that date.
Syntax:
DATEADD (date_part, interval, date)
Example:
To add four months to the current date, I can use this function as shown below.
DATEADD ('month', 4, #16/10/2021#) = #16/02/2022#
2. DATEDIFF Function
This function returns the difference between two dates, expressed in the units specified on the date part.
Syntax:
DATEDIFF (date_part, date1, date2, [start_of_week])
Example:
To compute the difference in weeks between the two dates.
DATEDIFF ('week', #10/10/2021#, #12/10/2021#, 'monday') = 1 (the two dates are on different weeks)
DATEDIFF ('week', #10/10/2021#, #12/10/2021#, 'sunday') = 0 (the two dates are on the same week)
Note: The [start_of_week] part is optional, and therefore when not specified – its determined by the data source.
Read about DATEDIFF function in detail
3. DATENAME Function
This function returns the date_part of a date field as a string.
Syntax:
DATENAME (date_part, date, [start_of_week])
Example: DATENAME ('month', #27/12/2020#) ='December'
DATENAME ('year', #27/12/2019#) = '2019'
4. DATEPARSE Function
This function returns a date_string as a date.
Syntax:
DATEPARSE (date_format, date_string)
Example:
DATEPARSE ('yyyy/MM/dd', #2021-10-16#) = 'October 16, 2021'
5. DATEPART Function
This function returns the date_part of a date as an integer.
Syntax:
DATEPART ('date_part', date, [Start_of_week])
Example:
DATEPART ('month', #15/05/2021#) = 5
DATEPART ('year', #27/01/2021#) = 2021
6. DATETRUNC Function
This function truncates the specified date to the accuracy specified in the date_part.
Syntax:
DATETRUNC ('date_part', date, [start_of_week])
Example:
DATETRUNC ('month', #27/09/2021#) = #01/09/2021# (truncates the date from 27th to the start of the month).
DATETRUNC ('quarter', #17/03/2021#) = '01/01/2021' (truncates the date from March 17th (which falls in quarter 1) to the date when the first quarter began).
7. DAY/WEEK/MONTH/QUARTER/YEAR Functions
These functions return the date part of the given date as an integer.
Syntax:
DAY (date)
WEEK (date)
MONTH (date)
QUARTER (date)
YEAR (date)
Example:
DAY (#16/10/2021#) = 16
WEEK (#16/10/2021#) = 42
MONTH (#16/10/2021#) = 10
QUARTER (#16/10/2021#) = 4
YEAR (#16/10/2021#) = 2021
8. MAKEDATE Function
This function returns a date value constructed from the specified year, month, and day.
Syntax:
MAKEDATE (year, month, day)
Example:
MAKEDATE (2021, 10, 17) = #17/10/2021# (October 17th, 2021)
9. MAKEDATETIME Function
This function returns a datetime that combines a date and a time.
Syntax:
MAKEDATETIME (date, time)
Example:
MAKEDATETIME ('29/09/2021', #08:35:00#) = #29/09/2021 08:35:00 AM#
10. MAKETIME Function
This function returns a date value constructed from the specified hour, minute, and second.
Syntax:
MAKETIME (hour, minute, seconds)
Example:
MAKETIME (18, 05, 58) = #18:05:58#
11. MAX/MIN Functions
These functions return the maximum or minimum date of the two dates in comparison.
Syntax:
MAX (date1, date2)
MIN (date1, date2)
Example:
MAX (#21/02/2021#, #03/10/2021#) = #03/10/2021#
MIN (#21/02/2021#, #19/11/2018#) = #19/11/2018#
12. NOW Function
This function returns the current local system date and time.
Syntax:
NOW ()
Example:
NOW () = #16/10/2021 18:15:21# (date and time of writing this article)
13. TODAY Function
This function returns the current date.
Syntax:
TODAY ()
Example:
TODAY () = #16/10/2021# (date of writing this article)
More date functions can be accessed on the Tableau calculated field editor – by selecting Date on the side menu.

A new Curtin University of Technology report calls for a $315 million light rail system to be built in Perth.
The Knowledge Arc Light Rail would link Canning Bridge, Curtin's Bentley Campus, Technology Park, Victoria Park, Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre, the new Princess Margaret Hospital and the University of Western Australia.
The plans are part of Professor Peter Newman's latest report, 'The Knowledge Arc Light Rail: The next phase in Perth's public transport'.
"Perth needs a new type of public transport to help it adapt to its growth pressures and light rail can be fitted into the present road structure and provide a fast, clean high capacity system," he said.
"The proposed route links together the main knowledge centres like pearls along a string, enabling them all to grow substantially without the need for so much parking.
"The new PMH site is planning to have Perth's biggest car park costing $180 million — this is a waste of money and land.
"The $315 million suggested cost for the light rail could be paid for from parking savings and land development opportunities created.
"Light rail is being adopted by many car-oriented cities in the US as a way to help rebuild their cities with less car dependence and more genuine centres. Light rail is the catalyst for building little cities along its route.
"Infrastructure Australia is funding light rail systems in Adelaide and the Gold Coast through a combination of funding sources and with a strong emphasis on land development opportunities.
"This should be adopted in Perth as the way to make our next stage in public transport happen."
Professor Newman said the advantages of developing a new light rail system outweighed an improved bus system.
"A larger number of passengers can be carried with fewer vehicles and staff, and the congestion threshold is significantly higher," he said.
"Commercial speed and timetable reliability are generally higher with rail systems and rail networks are more easily understood than bus systems. These are only some of many advantages.
"While buses are clearly capable of offering high quality public transport services, the choice of rail on routes with the potential for high patronage offers additional synergies."
This report was produced as part of the Parsons Brinckerhoff – Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Alliance.
The full report can be downloaded from: _URL_
Note to COS/Editor: Professor Newman from Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute and Infrastructure Australia Board Member is available for interviews on Saturday 1 May from 9am to 10am at 24 High Street, Fremantle or on 0407 935 133.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm Pascal which introduces a novel optimization of the well-known algorithm Apriori. Being provided with a given minsup threshold, Pascal discovers all frequent patterns by performing as few counting as possible. In order to derive the support of larger patterns without accessing the database whenever it is possible, we use the knowledge about the support of some of their sub-patterns, the so-called key patterns. Experiments comparing Pascal to the three algorithms Apriori, Close and Max-Miner, each of which being representative of a frequent patterns discovery strategy, show that Pascal is the most eÆcient algorithm for extracting patterns from strongly correlated data. Moreover, its execution times are equivalent to those of Apriori and Max-Miner when data is weakly correlated.

DEFINITION of 'And Interest'
A slang phrase used when quoting the price of a fixed-income instrument with accruing interest. When revealing the sale price of a bond, a broker or salesman will often express the value as the clean price "and interest".
Also written as "and-interest".
BREAKING DOWN 'And Interest'
For example, let's examine a bond, selling at par, paying an annual coupon of $8, with a par value of $100. It has been exactly half a year since the bond last paid a coupon. If you wish to purchase this bond, the likely quote you will hear is "$100 and interest". The $100 represents the clean price of the bond. The "and interest" is equal to the accrued interest at the time of sale. Since the bond pays a coupon once a year, and half a year has passed, the "and interest" equals $4 ((1/2) x 8).


. It is shown that an unpublished manuscript identified as composed by Peirce in 1893 includes a truth table matrix that is equivalent to the matrix for material implication discovered by John Shosky. An unpublished manuscript by Peirce identified as having been composed in 1883–84 in connection with the composition of Peirce's "On the Algebra of Logic: A Contribution to the Philosophy of Notation" that appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics in 1885 includes an example of an indirect truth table for the conditional.
Notes[edit]
 1. ^ The operators here with equal left and right identities (XOR, AND, XNOR, and OR) are also commutative monoids because they are also associative. While this distinction may be irrelevant in a simple discussion of logic, it can be quite important in more advanced mathematics. For example, in category theory an enriched category is described as a base category enriched over a monoid, and any of these operators can be used for enrichment.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University and Rice University have become the inaugural members of the Mauve survey programme. We are delighted to welcome Professor Keivan G. Stassun and Professor Christopher M. Johns-Krull who will be leading the respective research teams.
Mauve will deliver ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy data on hundreds of stars enabling scientists to break new ground in stellar research. The satellite, which has received funding from the European Commission, is currently under construction with partners C3S and ISISPACE and will launch in 2025.
Speaking with Blue Skies Space about his research interests, Professor Stassun said:
"Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Rice University have a long-standing interest in the study of accretion processes in young stars and magnetic activity in stars more generally, including in the context of understanding how stellar magnetism impacts the evolution of planetary atmospheres and habitability."
As founding members, researchers from Vanderbilt University and Rice University will join the Mauve science team, helping design and shape the science programme prior to the launch of the satellite.
Professor Stassun continued to say:
"Outside of seeking time on facilities such as Hubble, a resource that is in very high demand and short supply, Mauve will provide our research teams the ability to conduct observations of targeted systems in a way that will not be possible with any other dedicated facility for years to come. We also look forward to participating in other areas of exciting UV research led by other teams through Mauve's culture of scientific collaboration and esprit de corps."
The science team and survey working groups will continue to grow prior to launch, bringing a wealth of ideas and research experience into Mauve's three-year programme.

The upshot of all this is that after merging the pipelines of all routes, our authorization logic will take place after authentication.
A simplified implementation of withRole is shown below - the full version can be found in our Github repository
fun Route.withRole(val role: String, build: Route.() -> Unit): Route {
 // Create a child route in the route from which this function is called
 val selector = AuthorizedRouteSelector("authorize ($role)")
 val authorizedRoute = createChild(selector)
 // Add our authorization phase and interceptor to this route
 val feature = application.feature(RoleBasedAuthorization)
 feature.interceptPipeline(authorizedRoute, role)
 // Proceed with building child routes and return
 authorizedRoute.build()
 return authorizedRoute
}
First, we create a child Route in the parent from which we are called. This will be the route that will contain our authorization interceptors. (Attached to each route is a selector, which is used when matching a request to possible routes.)
Then we add the actual phases and interceptors, using Ktor's feature mechanism that we will discuss more below.
And finally, we proceed with building the rest of the routing tree by invoking the supplied build function on our newly constructed route.
RoleAuthorization feature
So, what do these lines actually do?
val feature = application.feature(RoleBasedAuthorization)
feature.interceptPipeline(authorizedRoute, role)
Let's look at interceptPipeline first, then discuss the how and why of the feature itself. (Just as before, this is a simplified version of what's on Github.)
fun interceptPipeline(pipeline: ApplicationCallPipeline, role: String) {
 pipeline.insertPhaseAfter(Features, ChallengePhase)
 pipeline.insertPhaseAfter(ChallengePhase, AuthorizationPhase)
 pipeline.intercept(AuthorizationPhase) {
 val principal = call.authentication.principal<Principal>()
 ?: throw AuthorizationException("Missing principal")
 val roles = getRoles(principal)
 if (!roles.contains(role)) {
 throw AuthorizationException("Principal lacks required role ${role}")
 }
 }
}
Here we set up our AuthorizationPhase, making sure it comes after the ChallengePhase as defined by the authentication feature. Then we add an interceptor to the AuthorizationPhase that does a simple role check and throws an exception if the current user does not posess the required role. If the principal does have the required role we just return from the interceptor function, and Ktor will proceed down the pipeline as normal.
The only piece of the puzzle left is the getRoles function we call to get the roles belonging to the current principal. Where does that come from? How do we know how and where to get these roles?
The answer is that that depends very much on the specifics of the application and its chosen implementation of the Principal marker interface. We therefore have made the implementation of getRoles a configuration item, attached to our RoleBasedAuthorization feature.
Setting up a feature requires a bit of boilerplate which isn't very interesting - check the Github repository if you want to see how that works. The essential bit is that it defines a configuration point
var getRoles: (Principal) -> Set<String> = { emptySet() }
which can be overriden when installing the feature in your application. In our example above, we modeled the principal as:
data class UserSession(
 val name: String,
 val roles: Set<String> = emptySet()
) : Principal
So our getRoles implementation then becomes a basic property lookup:
install(RoleBasedAuthorization) {
 getRoles {
 (it as UserSession).roles
 }
}
Demo application
As mentioned before, accompanying this blog post is a Github repository that contains the full source code of a working demo application. I encourage you to check it out and play with it in the debugger to get a feel for how the different parts interact.
Wrap-up and acknowledgements
Implementing role-based authorization in Ktor has been an interesting deep-dive into some of the internal workings of Ktor. My starting point and main inspiration was this Medium post, which provided sufficient pointers into the Ktor source code for further study. I did miss some more explanation of Ktor's design, and a working example to see how all the different parts interact - I hope this blog and demo will be of use to others.

Two Methods:By HandBy Machine
If you find yourself face-to-udder with a cow and are having a hard time getting milk from your bovine, it's because milking a cow is not as easy as it looks, especially if using a milking machine. And if the cow is cranky, it can be downright dangerous. Start with step 1 to learn how to milk a cow properly and safely.[[Category
Method 1 of 2: By Hand
 1. 1
 Make sure the cow has a halter and is tied to a sturdy post or held in a stanchion.
 2. 2
 Clean the teats with soapy water or iodine. (Warm water may help coax or "bring down" the milk.) Dry the teats, but don't rub or irritate them.
 3. 3
 Place a bucket underneath the udder. Better yet, hold it between your legs. It takes practice, but this can be done easily and comfortably. This position reduces the chance of the cow kicking over the pail of milk.
 4. 4
 Sit or squat in a position that will allow you to move away quickly if the cow becomes uncooperative. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, for example, is not safe. (See Warnings below.) An ordinary milk stool can be fabricated with two 2x4's cut and nailed to form a "T" - cut to fit your behind and make sure it is low enough to afford comfortable access to the cow's teats.
 5. 5
 Apply a lubricant such as Vaseline to your hands to minimize friction.
 6. 6
 Wrap your warm hands around two of the four teats. Choose diagonal teats (front left and rear right, for example). Or, try the front teats first, then the back pair.
 7. 7
 Squeeze the base of the teat, after gently clamping each teat between your extended thumb and first finger, so that the teat fills your palm as you squeeze down.
 8. 8
 Squeeze down to push out the milk, maintaining your grip on the base of the teat so that the milk doesn't flow back up into the udder. Do not jerk or yank the teats. This motion is performed by sequentially squeezing your fingers from the middle to the pinky to force the milk out. Be gentle yet firm. Keep your eyes peeled for mastitis (see Tips).
 9. 9
 Repeat with your other hand. Most people prefer to alternate (right hand, left hand, right hand, etc.) The downward squeezing motions takes less effort doing it in alternate steps than all at the same time.
 10. 10
 Continue until the quarter that you're milking looks deflated. Experienced farmers can feel the udder to know exactly when all the milk has come down. Often even looking at the quarter just milked can tell you if it's been emptied enough or not.
 11. 11
 Move on to milk the other two teats. If you use the diagonal method, switching sides is not necessary.
Method 2 of 2: By Machine
 1. 1
 Secure the cow in position as outlined above.
 2. 2
 Clean the teats as outlined above.
 3. 3
 Turn on the milking machine and allow it to build pressure.
 4. 4
 Hand-milk each teat a few times to let down the milk and check for mastitis (see Tips).
 5. 5
 Release the pressure so that suction begins.
 6. 6
 Place each suction device on each teat. This must be done quickly before the machine loses its pressure.
 7. 7
 Wait until the machine draws all of the milk out of the udder, which will become flaccid as described above.

 Remove the suction devices from the teats.
 - Many modern milking machines do not require the milker to manually remove the suction cups. Once one quarter has been milked dry, they automatically fall off, one by one.

 Empty the milk into a pail or similar container.
 10. 10
 Clean the machine. This prevents milk that dries from building up in the machine.
This video demonstrates the hand milk technique.
 - Always approach the cow slowly. Speak in a low voice and gently pat her side so that she knows where you are. Don't make any sudden movements. The idea is to let her know where you are. If you surprise her, she may panic and kick you or step on you.
 - Some cows lift their back leg and kick over the bucket or knock off the suction devices. Keep the handle positioned so you can grab the bucket should she decide to kick the bucket.
 - When milking by hand, be sure to remember that there is no pulling and tugging on teats you see on TV. Just squeeze gently.
 - Cracked teats irritate cows - treat with Bag Balm (lanolin.)
 - Some cows only stand still if they're given grain or hay to munch on while you go about your business. If your cow is demanding, keep an eye on her food. Be ready to replenish it, or else she'll let you know she wants more by becoming restless and difficult to work with.
 - If you're milking by hand and haven't experienced doing it on a daily basis, your hands will get tired. A single cow can generate 10 gallons (37.9 L) in one sitting. You can take a break but you run the risk of the cow getting impatient and fidgety (not good.)
 - Some people prefer to use udder cream on their hands as they milk.
 - Tying the cow's tail to her leg will prevent her from swishing you with it. Tail hair does not tie well, and it will come loose after a few minutes.
 - The stream of milk that squirts out should be solid. If it's split, as if there's an obstruction in the milk duct, the cow might have mastitis, which will need to be treated. If mastitis is suspected, shoot the first few streams into a fine strainer and look for clumps. If there are clumps, seek appropriate treatment. The clumps can look like giant globs of snot.
 - If you have an ornery cow, she's smarter than you and will delight in taunting and frustrating you. Keep your cool and outsmart her.
 - Kids can practice by "milking" a latex glove filled tightly with water and tied in a knot at the opening. Make tiny holes with a needle at the fingers.
 - If the cow is kicking, try putting your weight into the soft spot on the cow immediately in front of their rear legs. As they cannot bring their leg forward, they cannot kick.
 - If this doesn't work, consider hobbling her or putting a Kow-No-Kick device (or a product with a similar name) on her to teach and prevent her from kicking during milking.
 - Cows kick and they kick hard. They can knock your teeth out and give you a concussion. Be sure you're milking a nice, gentle and well-trained cow, or have experienced supervision.
 - Be careful not to trip over the milking machine's tubes or wires.
 - You may also get smacked in the face (sometimes the eye) by her tail. This is not harmful, but it can be annoying. If this happens, be sure to wash your face and eyes--there's a good chance there's manure and bacteria on the tail.
 - Watch your feet. A cow often weighs over 1,000 lbs. If she steps on your foot, those 1,000 lbs will hurt quite a bit!
 - Cows can kick with a limited sideways motion, as well as directly behind them.
 - Just because the cow's getting milked doesn't mean she has good manners. Don't be surprised if she drops a "cow pie" in the middle of her milking. Some cows will urinate, as well - watch her back - if it arches, grab the bucket and move back.

Family Needs And Resources (Home Economics)
Family needs are many. The resources for meeting these needs are however limited. It is necessary to find ways of using the resources so that the important needs are satisfied. This involves management. Before you learn how to manage the resources, you must know the different types of resources and needs of the individuals and families.
Family Needs Needs are things that are essential, that is, very important for your health. The family members have physical, emotional mental and social needs.
Needs And Wants: It is important to differentiate between needs and wants. Wants are those things you desire though they are not essential for your health and well-being. Basic clothing is a need for survival, but extra clothing is want. A family may have a need for transport and buy a small car. When they make more money, they may want or desire to buy a bigger car.
Types Of Needs
i. Basic or primary needs are very important needs which the family cannot do without. They are those things which every family must have for survival.
They include:
1. Food: Provision of the right kind of food good health and survival.
2. Housing: Every family requires a good shelter for different kinds of protection.
3. Clothing: Every family members require good basic clothing for protection.
4. Health Care: Health is very important. Every family must provide the health care needs.
Secondary Needs: These are those the family wants. They are not as important as the primary needs. The family can therefore exist without the secondary needs. They are those things the family desires. They depend on the socio-economic status of the family. The secondary needs include, recreation, personal allowance or pocket money for family members, extra clothing, family car, etc.
Family Resources
Resources are those things which the families can use to meet their needs and reach their goals. The family has different types of resources.
Classification Of Resources
There are different ways of classifying resources. The simplest way is to group them into two classes as: (a). Human and (b). Non-human or material resources. There are also natural resources.
Human Resources
These are resources which exist within an individual. They are personal to each individual. They include:
i. Knowledge: This includes everything a person has observed, learned and remembers. Example is knowledge of how to launder the family clothes.
ii. Skills: These are special set of abilities that allow a person to perform certain tasks well. Examples of skills are drawing, sewing, cooking, writing, cleaning, and baking.
iii. Imagination: This is the ability of the mind to be creative and resourceful. The mind forms images that are not present to the senses. By working through a problem in your imagination, you think through a situation before you act.
iv. Energy: This is the power that helps you get things done. Energy comes from the food you eat. Energy is used to do work.
V. Time: Time is used for other resources to reach goals. Everyone has the same amount of time, that is, 24 hours each day.
Material Or Non-Human Resources
These are resources that exist outside people but can be controlled owned or used by the family. The two main types of material resources are family possessions and money.
i. Possessions: These are things the family owns, which the can use to attain some goals. Family possessions could be grouped into:
(a). Those possessions that last a long time and are not used up readily. They are durable. Examples are furniture, car, houses, and appliances.
(b). Those possessions that are used up quickly, e.g. Food, clothes, paper, pen, etc. Managing these possessions carefully will give them longer useful life.
ii. Money: This is very important resource which can be used to buy most things, including other resources. Money is used to measure the value of the goods we have.
Other Resources The Family Can Use Community Resources:
1. Every community has people, facilities, institutions and organizations. These help families in the following ways:
i. To improve their skills.
ii. To solve their problems.
iii. To enjoy life.
The community resources include, schools, libraries, government agencies, churches, mosques, hospitals, parks, shops, markets, post office, mass transit, roads, etc.
Natural Resources:
These are air, water, land, plants, animals and minerals. These are found in our surroundings or environment.
Characteristics Of Resources
1. Utility: This means that resources have value or worth. This means, that they can be applied for producing good and services.
2. Accessibility: This means that resources must exist on hand or in reserve for goal attainment.
3. Interchangeability: A resource is interchangeable when it can be substituted with another resource in the attend to reach goals.
4. Manageability: All resources are to some degree manageable. This means that they can be to control for the purpose of achieving goals.


to buy these things (such as gem stones, planks of wood etc.) from stores.
Once you have decided whether to buy them or gather them yourself, you must decide what types you are going to use. I will begin with wood. If you choose tree branches, you must decide what trees, all the same or different ones, and whether to break off live ones or dead ones. It is generally believed that dead wood provides for dead runes, but this view differs. If you choose fruit trees, you must now decide what fruit tree (apple, orange etc.) and whether to take it while the tree is still bearing fruit or not. The same applies to tree trunks (same or different; dead or alive), and bark. Obviously, if you choose to buy wood, you won't be able to use branches, or choose to get the wood from a fruit tree. Considerations with stone are whether to get all the same types or different types, whether to make sure they are all the same size and shape or different shapes and sizes, and where to gather them from (if you decide to gather them). Buying them from a store has one other consideration, and that is that they may be unnaturally polished or varnished.
Choosing a Method
You're almost ready to get started, you just need to choose how to go about making them now. There three ways to do this:
This is really just personal preference here, carving them makes it no stronger or better than painting them, just as carving and painting makes it no stronger than doing one or the other. If you've chosen stone, carving may be difficult. The best method there is using an engraving drill with a diamond bit, but even with that it may be blunted, and diamond bits are expensive. Wood and bone is a whole lot easier, so it may be better off choosing both methods.
If you choose painting, you must choose what you are going to use:
 - Type: Will it stick to my medium? Will it last?
 - Colour: Do I want to use traditional ochre red? What colour feels right?
 - Bond: Do I mix my blood in with it to bond it to me?
Making the Set
 1. First take your medium. If it needs cutting, cut it into as many segments as there are runes in your system. You should have already made up your mind as to whether or not they will be equal segments by now. It is best to cut them into small pieces (about 3cm high, 2cm wide is perfect, but it is up to you).
 2. Spread your medium out across the table and have a sheet with your rune system nearby (the best site to print a reliable list from is _URL_ Clear your mind, mutter thanks to your God(s), pray to them, toast them, whatever - so long as you acknowledge their workings in this process.
 3. Look at the first rune in your system, then carefully choose your first medium. It doesn't have to be the left most one, the right most one, the upper or lower, just choose the one you feel is right for it (this matter less if all your mediums are the same).
 a. If you not carving skip to 3b. Carve the rune into your medium. Repeat step 3 until all runes in your set have been carved.
 b. If you are not painting skip to 4. Depending on the size of your mediums, it is best to use a thin brush. Paint the rune on your medium. Repeat step 3 until all runes in your set have been painted.
 4. If you did not paint, skip to step 5. Leave the runes to dry (time will vary depending what you used to paint them).
 5. Put your runes in a pouch and carry them around with you for the next week. Don't allow them to be too far away from you at any time during this week. After the week they will be sufficiently bonded to you, and ready for use.
Practicing Runic Magic
As I mentioned earlier, there are two ways to practice Runic Magic, Runecasting and Runescribing. The two go hand in hand, but that does not mean you cannot specialize in one or the other. I shall now describe the practices of these seperately.
Runecasting is the practice of using runes for divination. This does not mean fortune telling, clairvoyance or seeing the future in any way. According to our religion, such a thing is impossible. However, we can analyse the occurances of the past, the happenings of the present and the possibilites of the future. This works on a deep psychological and mystical level, using religious and metaphysical concepts. The best way to explain this is with the Asatru concept of the universe and the actions we take within it.
Wyrd, roughly translated, means universe. In Asatru, the Wyrd is like a huge spider web, and we are all spiders on this web, crawling across it. Even the Gods are spiders on this web, and each movement we make - each action - send a ripple across the spider web, not only affecting us, but others around us. Yes: this does mean that we mortal men can affect the Gods, just as they can affect us. Why then do the Gods affect us so much? Well, they are much bigger spiders, and send off much bigger ripples than us.
In Asatru, fate is not a simple pre-determined destiny; fate is the path that we choose to take. Sometimes our fate will be altered as we catch the ripple of another's action, but we can always regain control of our fate and steer it back on the path that we choose. We are never in bondage, we are never controlled by anyone else, we are where we want to be. Why then, you may ask, is Ragnarok all pre-determined? Because the Gods know their fate, and they choose not to stop walking that path.
Using Runecasting with Wyrd and Fate
We cannot see the future, because the future is muteable. If someone were to tell you that tomorrow you would win a million dollars off the lottery, what happens if you choose not to buy that ticket? Do you still win? Of course not. You cannot see the future, but you can see where your path, your fate, is leading you at a given time. This is what Runecasting is about, it allows you to see what path you have taken to this point in life, what path you are currently walking, and what may happen in the future if you remain on this path. If this is a negative thing, you may choose to alter your path, alter your fate.
Thus, if you were to Runecast on a subject today, and it told you that this would lead to unhappiness, you may choose to alter your fate. If you do so choose, the next day, were you to Runecast on the same subject, it would tell you that your fate would lead to something new. Runecasting is not about seeing the future, it is about understanding your fate and guiding your fate. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, others, especially Gods, can alter your fate, but with Runecasting you can identify these changes and correct it. It may not be simple, it may not be easy, but our religion is not for the weak. You must persevere to reach your goals. Now that you understand the concepts, you may begin Runecasting.
Methods of Runecasting
There is no one way to Runecast, and Runecasters usually don't learn one and stick with it. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses; some are better for a certain subject than others; some you will find yourself more comfortable with than others. Regardless, all should be learnt and practiced if you wish to get the most of of Runecasting. There are two types (unordered {Cast} and ordered {Layout}) and a total of eight methods.
Simple Cast
This is the simplest method, and can be used for moderately broad or simple questions. Think of a question, keep it in your mind and reach into your pouch and grab a handful of runes, then cast them onto a small white cloth. Ignore any that lay on their side or land outside of the cloth. Those facing towards you are working with you, or are currently in effect, those facing down are working against you, or are no longer in effect/not yet in effect. You must interpret these runes yourself, it is completely subjective. The meanings of the runes are important, and you must learn them well, but their meaning in relation to the question you asked must be discovered for yourself.
Norns Cast
This method calls specifically on the Norns, the three minor Godesses Urdh, Godess of the Past, Verdhandi, Godess of the Present, and Skuld, Godess of the Future (these Goddesses are not Aesir or Vanir, and are relatively obscure). This is a fairly simple method also and can only answer fairly simple questions. Close your eyes and hold your question in your mind, then draw a rune from your pouch. Do not open your eyes, and place the rune on your white cloth. Repeat another two times, then, leaving your eyes closed, choose a rune and place it to the left of your cloth, choose another and place it next to the first, then place the last next to this.
Open your eyes and look at the order you placed them in. The first rune is Urdh's,

KENERELA partnered with IAVI to conduct baseline dialogue training that sought to address the issue of HIV vaccines and also understand the knowledge, attitude and practices of religious leaders so as to galvanize them to be a voice towards stigma reduction.Studies conducted within faith communities have found out that there exists a knowledge gap in articulation of new prevention technologies among religious groups. This makes it difficult for them to reach out to the over 97% of Kenyans who subscribe to a certain religion. In order to overcome existing barriers to access, uptake and appreciation of the place of new prevention technologies by masses, religious leaders' capacity need to built so that they can become ambassadors of the same.The place of religious leaders and the unique role they play in the society gives them an opportunity to be agents of change in shaping society's perspectives towards vaccines. As trusted and respected leaders of influence, religious leaders can, collectively, arrest HIV related stigma towards new HIV prevention technologies. By building the capacity of religious leaders living with and personally affected by HIV as 'Heralds of Change' would increase their ability to address the above issues many of them having experienced stigma in various forms.
Objectives of partnership
- To disseminate the information to the religious leaders on the HIV vaccines and initiate dialogue among the leaders within their faith communities
- To cluster pre baseline knowledge, attitude that the faith communities have in regards to HIV vaccines.
- Build consensus around an advocacy agenda on the new preventive measures on HIV
The expected outcome of the meeting includes;
- Conducting a baseline survey focusing on the existing knowledge, attitude and develop a possible advocacy agenda based on the findings for future reference
- Development of appropriate advocacy agenda for use by religious leaders on the new HIV prevention technologies
- Developing a safe platform for faith communities to give their opinions on issues of the new HIV vaccines
- Development of data for use in advocacy in local, national, regional and international forums.
The way forward
- Conduct a consensus for the baseline(INERELA+KENYA) has already conducted the survery and the dissemination process is underway.
- Enhance the roles and responsibilities among religious in ensuing effective baseline survey among faith communities
Overall Project Completion
