wikiHow to Overtake in Karting
Four Parts:Being as smooth as possibleOut-braking your opponentMastering a set of cornersStaying focusedCommunity Q&A
Overtaking in karting is as essential as having the best lap times. Karting is a form of motorsport that can mold you into a better driver and an even better racer.
Part 1
Being as smooth as possible
 1. 1
 Focus on being smooth. This is one point that a lot of racers neglect. Being an aggressive driver may help you gain a few places but will eventually force you to make a mistake and you may lose all the places you took.
 2. 2
 Make your overtake as clean as possible. If you feel that you are overtaking your opponent before entering the corner but are unable to carry out the overtaking move through the exit of the corner then you are probably doing it wrong.
 - This could be because you are either unable to manage a faster exit speed through the corner or you are too aggressive on the steering and the brakes which in turn make you slower through the corner, which helps your opponent to keep pace with you.
 3. 3
 Don't always go for a gap. There could be a possibility that you may have the inside line for a corner but the very next corner could be in the opposite direction and may give your opponent the inside line making your overtaking move useless!
Part 2
Out-braking your opponent
 1. 1
 Be prepared to put in plenty of practice. This method of overtaking does not come easily. It takes practice and a lot of patience.
 2. 2
 Identify a part on the track that helps you find your usual braking point. This is the point that you always brake at before turning into a corner.
 3. 3
 Try braking a little later than your braking point to see how it affects your exit speed. If you exit too slowly because your kart loses a lot of traction, you might want to experiment more with your braking points.
 4. 4
 Observe whether the driver ahead of you brakes at the same time that you do. Note whether that driver brakes a lot earlier than you. You can use this knowledge to your advantage and try to steer away from the racing line brake later than the other driver. This allows you to not only overtake the driver but also to make a comfortable exit through the corner, as you are now able to out brake your opponents.
Part 3
Mastering a set of corners
 1. 1
 Use corners you're familiar with. This is the time you start finding a particular corner or a set of corners that you can take flat-out or in which you save a lot of time while doing timed heats.
 2. 2
 While you have these turns figured out, think about whether the ideal way of overtaking on this corner would be to go on the inside of the opponent or go on the outside of the opponent.
 3. 3
 Think about a few corners in advance. For example: If you are approaching a hard braking corner after a long straight and you believe that you can overtake the driver then think about the next set of corners. This would help you to analyse how you would have to tackle the next set of corners in order to maintain your position.
 4. 4
 Note the opponent's moves. You have to be very attentive about how the opponent takes these corners. Notice whether the driver is struggling or is fairly good through these set of corners. Use the opponent's line through the corner and quickly work out your ideal line to overtake the opponent.
 5. 5
 Don't panic if you are not able to overtake your opponent the first time. You know your strong corners and your opponent will now try to be defensive of his or her space, trying not leave any for you to overtake. Use this behavior to your advantage and push the opponent to make a mistake through a corner; that will be your key to overtaking him or her.
Part 4
Staying focused
 1. 1
 Practice frequently. Karting is an expensive sport, so use your time on the track wisely. When karting, think and experiment with your line, so as to be well prepared when you actually have to use all of your practice to overtake your opponents.
 2. 2
 Stay confident and reduce your fear. In a high paced sport like karting, never let fear get the best of you. If you do, the other driver behind you will not hesitate to drive you off the track!
 3. 3
 Look where you want your kart to go. If you have a gap that you can fit through and overtake, stare into the gap because that's where you want to go.
 - If you stare at the kart in front if you and keep thinking that you will crash, you are bound to crash then!

Whistling feathers sound predator alarm
crested pigeon
Flights of fear: this crested pigeon has a secret alarm in its feathers (Source: Geoffrey Dabb)
Behavioural ecologist Dr Robert Magrath and student Mae Hingee of the Australian National University in Canberra report their findings today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Birds hang around in a flock rather than on their own because there are more individuals looking out for predators, says Magrath: "There are more eyes looking for danger."
But if one individual in a large group spots a predator, how does it communicate this to the rest?
While some bird species use vocal alarms to warn the rest of the flock, not all do.
One that doesn't is the Australian crested pigeon, Ocyphaps lophotes.
The bird has a very curious whistling sound when it flies, which seems to change when it flies off in alarm, says Magrath.
"You can close your eyes and know when a crested pigeon is flying around," he says.
Magrath says the whistling sound is so loud some might suspect it was made vocally, but it is actually made by the pigeons' wings.
"In fact one of their common names is the whistle-winged pigeon," he says.
Feather alarm
Magrath and Hingee hypothesised that the crested pigeon might be using its whistling feathers as an alarm.
To test this, they made model hawks which they used to scare flocks of crested pigeons.
They recorded the whistling sound made by pigeons taking off in alarm and compared this to a recording of the whistling sound made by birds taking off routinely.
Magrath and Hingee then analysed the characteristics of the different wing whistles on computer.
They found that each downbeat and upbeat of the wings produced different tones but the alarm signal was faster and louder than the routine flight sound.
The next step was to independently test whether the birds responded differently to these two different sounds.
Magrath and Hingee recorded the alarm and routine flight sounds onto CD and then played them back to flocks of birds.
"If you played back the routine whistle they just kept on feeding as if nothing had happened," says Magrath.
"If you played back the alarm whistle they just shot off - 80% of the flocks just went for the hills. Clearly the birds are playing attention to these whistles."
Alarm feathers
The researchers now want to look more closely at how the wings produce their alarm sound.
Magrath says there is a special feather on the wings that appears to be key to the whistles.
This feather amplifies the differences between slow and fast wing flapping, turning a routine whistle into an alarm whistle, he says.
Magrath says future tests will involve the use of high speed photography to try and associate particular wing strokes with particular sounds.
Other tests will place individual feathers in a wind tunnel to see if the alarm whistle can be recreated, he says.

How do giraffes sit down?
Giraffes sit down by folding their legs underneath their bodies. Usually they fold their front legs, but they can sit with their back legs folded too.
Giraffes do not sit down for long periods because it is difficult to get up again, which puts them in danger of predators.
Giraffes usually sleep lying down. However, they can sleep standing up.
They sleep for only a few minutes at a time, because they must always be alert to dangers.
In zoos and conservancies, giraffes sleep intermittently for an average of 4.6 hours per day, mostly at night.

Pear-shaped nuclei discovery challenges time travel hopes
By Kenneth Macdonald
BBC Scotland Science Correspondent
image copyrightCERN
image captionThe pear shape was first discovered in the nucleus of the isotope Radium-224
Scottish-based scientists have discovered that the nuclei of some atoms are not symmetrical.
The finding challenges some of the fundamental concepts of physics.
It could explain why there is more matter than antimatter - but it may also end hopes of time travel.
The Universe has a fundamental problem. Why is there so much stuff in it?
Think back to the Big Bang. That's a bit of a stretch, admittedly. It was getting on for 14 billion years ago.
The Big Bang is the prevailing theory about how everything we know began. The theory states that the Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter.
image copyrightCERN
image captionDr Scheck will lead a team carrying our further wort at the ISOLDE facility at CERN
And that's where the Universe's problem begins.
You might expect those equal amounts of matter and antimatter to have cancelled each other out. Their masses would have been transformed into energy, leaving something akin to a warm glow and nothing else.
But as I'm sure you've noticed, that hasn't happened. Everything around us consists of matter: my keyboard, your home, the planet on which we stand, interstellar dust, other galaxies.
Where is all the antimatter?
Scientists at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) think they can point to the reason. Although it could mean the textbooks will need a rewrite.
Most of the fundamental theories of physics are based on symmetry. That symmetry dictates, among other things, that the nuclei of atoms can be one of just three shapes: spherical, discus or rugby ball.
But Dr Marcus Scheck at UWS and Professor Peter A Butler of the University of Liverpool have discovered a fourth form of nucleus.
It's pear-shaped.
They first discovered the pear shape in the nucleus of the isotope Radium-224. It was part of an international effort that also involved researchers from the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Switzerland, Spain, Poland and Sweden.
image captionDr Who may be interested in the findings and its implications for time travel
The finding has since been confirmed in a second study, this time of the nucleus of Barium-144. The study also involved Dr Scheck and was led by Ching-Yen Yu from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
Dr Scheck says the pear shape shouldn't be there, according to the currently-accepted model of physics.
He says: "Further, the protons enrich in the bump of the pear and create a specific charge distribution in the nucleus.
Direction in time
In other words, a pear-shaped nucleus points to why our Universe contains so much more matter than antimatter.
But that's not all it points to.
So time travel would appear to be a non-starter.
Dr Scheck will now lead a team to repeat the experiment. They'll be doing it at the Isotope Separator On Line Detector (ISOLDE) facility at CERN in Switzerland.
ISOLDE can produce Barium-144 nuclei in huge amounts. That will come in handy because the initial measurements suggested the nuclei were even more pear shaped than had been expected.
The research gives us a deeper insight into where - and why - we are.
Although if time really can only travel in one direction, it's bad news for Doctor Who.

When you look at it from broader perspective it is a from of 3d printer which prints with carbon fiber, it just needs to be upgraded and developed to be able to print non-rotating shapes with full x/y/z movement or at least to reinforce ABS/PLA parts with carbon fiber applied on their surface.
There were similar solutions on the beginning of DIY 3d printing machines development like this 3d printer which printed silicone on rotating tube:
There were successful applications of epoxy surface glued Kevlar and carbon fibers on regular ABS/PLA 3d printed parts which gave them amazing strength:
For next level in carbon printing we need to bring those concepts in a single machine.
Hopefully there will be someone to develop this idea further.

Field Guide to the Grasses of Oregon and Washington (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Field Guide to the Grasses of Oregon and Washington is an illustrated guide to all 376 species, subspecies, and varieties of grasses—both native and introduced—that grow wild in Oregon and Washington. It also has broad applicability in neighboring states and provinces. Grasses are important functional components in a variety of ecosystems and are highly valued for habitat restoration in numerous habitats, ranging from wetlands to deserts, and from sea level to alpine. They are important weeds and are also cultivated as ornamentals. This guide covers the entire spectrum of grasses from weedy invaders to rare native species.
Identifying grasses can be challenging. The grass family is one of the most diverse plant families in the region, and differences between species can be both subtle and minute. This guide provides identification keys, species descriptions, photographs of each species (both in the field and through a microscope), habitats, and range maps. Users will especially appreciate the macrophotographs that illustrate hard-to-see, diagnostic features.
Biologists, land managers, botanists, and consultants, as well as plant professionals, home gardeners, and amateur plant enthusiasts, will find this guide an indispensable reference for identifying all the grasses they encounter in the diverse habitats of Oregon and Washington.

The code and value together are unique, and a composite key is created containing them both.
We load in reference data from an excel spreadsheet, and at some point, there was a code and value pair added to a reference data type which matched exactly with a code and value pair from another reference data type. Attempting to add the second code value pair resulted in a unique key violation.
I needed to add the discriminator column into the composite key. If you're using auto mapping, you'll need to add an auto mapping override. Below is an example of creating a composite key containing the code, discriminator and value columns.

How much storage pressure in hydrogenation station
At present, the process flow mainly adopted in domestic hydrogenation stations is based on the storage and transportation of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, which is mainly supplied by the station's long tube trailer. Process flow of high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage and hydrogenation station for long tube trailer hydrogen supply.
The long tube trailer will transport 20MPa compressed hydrogen from the hydrogen production unit to the fixed station, and the hydrogen will be unloaded to the high-pressure hydrogen storage tank in the station through the compressor in the hydrogenation station. When the vehicle is hydrogenated, the hydrogen output from the long tube trailer or hydrogen storage tank will be filled into the on-board hydrogen storage bottle of the fuel cell vehicle through the hydrogenation machine.
hydrogen refueling station
At present, there are two pressure grades of vehicle hydrogen storage bottles widely used in the world: 35MPa and 70MPa. The highest design pressure level of hydrogenation station also needs to match the pressure level of on-board hydrogen storage of refueling vehicles. In addition to using long tube trailers as 20MPa mobile hydrogen storage facilities, the highest fixed hydrogen storage pressure in hydrogenation station of 35MPa hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is generally 45MPa. The highest fixed hydrogen storage pressure in the hydrogenation station of 70MPa hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is generally 90MPa.

Since 2003, Mexico's aggregate exploration spending grew faster than the world average moving Mexico from eight to fourth place on the global mining ranks. Much of this growth was attributed to Canadian-based junior exploration companies, making up 80% of the active explorers in Mexico.
Key Reasons to Work in the Mexican Mining Industry:
- Mexican legislation encourages investments in the sector. The 1993 Mining Law (Ley Minera) opened up new areas to foreign investment previously limited to Mexican financing. It also removed the requirement for foreign capital investments to be associated with Mexican capital in a proportion of 49-51% respectively.
- Openness to foreign direct investment. Any company from around the world is encouraged to invest in the country.
- Obtaining mining licences are quick. Typically takes between 6-8 months for a licence to be granted as opposed to North America it can take between 5-10 years.
- Labour costs are lower. Labour is 60-80% lower as compared to the first world.
- Long history of mining. Mining in Mexico stretches over 500 years, before the Spanish conquest and colonization. One of the main reasons why the workforce in the mining industry is highly skilled.
- Availability of public mining information. Delegated by the Mexican government, the Mexican Geological Survey and Ministry of Economy makes public all information relevant to mining including exploration surveys, historical mining information, suppliers, land ownership and much more.
- Supporting investment. The Ministry of Economy's Mining Promotion Trust (FIFOMI) is another key player. In 2009 it helped capitalize micro, small and medium-sized mining companies as well as the sector's production chain with loans worth 510 million USD, 20% higher than in 2008, in addition to offering training and technical assistance to more than 8,000 companies.
- Canada a key player. Out of more than 738 exploration projects currently carried out by 232 companies, 70% are undertaken with investment coming from other countries: 75% from Canada, 15% from the US and the rest coming from countries such as the UK, Australia and Japan, among others.

Attributes can be assigned to products. These allow PULPO WMS to identify any custom information that comes from the ERP system or any other source for better performance and control of tasks and processes within the warehouse. Attributes can contain (metadata) data used by third-party systems, which PULPO WMS itself does not need.
The open and publicly documented API of PULPO WMS makes it possible to quickly connect different systems. If required, PULPO WMS can also be used as an information hub to exchange important information between systems without these systems having to communicate directly with each other. This may be useful especially for older systems.
Examples of Data Transfer to Third-Party Systems: An order may e.g. receive important information for the TMS (Transport Management System) in its attributes.
Assigning attributes to products
Product Create/Edit dialog selected in the create and edit products process, attributes can be assigned by clicking the corresponding tab located at the right side of the screen.
The following information must be filled:
Attribute: Define a custom name for the product's attribute
Value: Assign (if necessary) a numeric value for the attribute
An attribute, for example, could be:
Storage_temperature : 5 °C
This attribute will remain with the product through every task and process that PULPO WMS performs so that users and third parties can easily identify the product's customized information.
Example of URL image attribute:
Suppose you would like to create a product that carries an attribute related to a URL image. PULPO WMS allows this type of attributes to better recognize and identify products in the warehouses:
First, a product must be created in PULPO WMS. This can be done manually in the Web App by following the steps explained in the create/edit products article.
Suppose you created a product called "Television". When it comes to assigning the product's attribute, you can fill in the URL information you want regarding the television. Simply type: "image_url" as the name of the attribute and paste the image link in the value field. Then click on the
3. PULPO WMS will then display, in the detailed information of the product, the corresponding URL image, thus allowing it to improve the visualization of any product from the list.

Who Am I
A new photograph floats to the surface
Playfully dressing up as the world around me
Hat, striped socks and all
Tiptoeing at the top for one last sweet moment
Before sinking back into my ocean mind.
One after another they arrive
Single file,
Steeping my eyes in the world
As the minds shutter, ever fluttering
Strings together this conscious stream I play in.
My photographs fade in time's wrinkled arms.
Joining their brothers and sisters at the ocean floor,
Who am I?

Respect Comes with Age
My father and my mother sat me down one day
 to tell me how wonderful that I was growing O.K.
The years passes by as I got to be a teenager
 with high hopes of becoming the first young manager
Life turns out a manager job is not for me
 so I kept things to a minimum working hard you see
My family had taught me with all do respect
Like queens and kings we bow our head
 to the people who is wiser in age even when dead
Life as our guide the time we have aged
 is what we leave behind that we are gaged
In prospective we are the stars and we are the earth
 because we age and leave behind a new birth
To those that seek such blessing of heart
 remember this age is respect for living from the start
Do you remember your father, mother, and teachers
 they are the ones cheering you on, sitting on those bleachers

I am alson't lying
Today was the day of judgment,
All children were excited and pleased,
But when the result was declared,
Tutor called student; one by one in the office,
And appreciated each of them,
Who got good marks in the tests.
But suddenly, a cried break out amusement',
Why did a teacher, beat up a student so badly?
Who wrote in the exam,
The sun was rising in the river,
Fishes were jumping over the clouds,
And climbing up on the palm trees.
Head teacher came out and asked the boy,
Where did you read all this?
When my dad goes fishing, he told.
I always think, why fishes have white colour,
I understand when we were acrossing the waves,
Fishes must eat coconut.
A teacher not beaten up a student only,
Also he failed because of not following his lesson,
That was from a book,
Dad, I wasn't wrong, a child was sobbing,
If book isn't lying,
I am also not lying.

Good news for Dartmouth-Cole Harbour!
Today I announced more than $5.3 million dollars for Metamaterial Technologies- a clean technology company located here in Dartmouth.
Metamaterial has developed a technology that collects, traps and absorbs sunlight from all directions. That means the technology doesn't need to track the sun's every move and that leads to a highly efficient way of capturing and using solar energy! This innovative technology will first be tested on unmanned aerial vehicles. Long-term, the technology will be used on aircraft and consumer vehicles on our streets.

Work on the restoration of Upper Fort St Elmo in nearing completion, reversing years of neglect. The fort is set to be opened to the public and will host the Malta Military Museum in the coming months.
President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca toured the fort this morning and was shown around by Stefan Zrinzo, chairman of the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation, which handled the work.
The project, which is being carried out in collaboration with Heritage Malta, cost €15.5 million and incorporated the fort itself as well as Carafa Enceinte (the outer parts of the fort).
The National War Museum has been dismantled and will be incorporated into the new military museum, which will take viewers back to prehistory.
The process of rehabilitation uncovered previously unknown tunnels, underground rooms, remains of the original fort and the foundations of a windmill which dates to the pre-British period.
The future is still uncertain about Lower Fort St Elmo (which overlooks Marsamxett).
Valletta local council is reportedly considering using the former War Museum hall to house a museum about Valletta, but no decision yet has been taken on the use of the rest of the area once it is restored.
The area is extensive and includes the yard used as a 'Turkish prison' in the film Midnight Express,
There are barracks going back to the time of the Knights and the British, as well as a huge reservoir for millions of litres of water.
Dr Zrinzo Azzopardi said the crucial issue was sourcing funds for the restoration. The area is in a worse state than Upper Fort Ekmo had been and will therefore require more funds.
Dr Zrinzo Azzopardi said it was important to decide on a use of the building before or while restoration was under way so that it could be brought to life again and adequately maintained. Suggestions made so far ranged from tourist accommodation, an educational facility, or an artisans market.

If you mean UK miles, that would be 77.25 lengths!
50 lengths of 25 metres = 1250 metres = 0.7767 miles (to 4 dp)
In a 25m pool it is 200 lengths
45 lengths x 25m = 1125m 1125m x 3.3 ft per meter=3712.5 feet 3712.5 feet / 1 mile (5280 feet) =0.703 miles
100 lengths of a 25m pool
There are 1500/25 = 60 lengths of 25cm
3.1 mi =4._PHONE_ kilometers(4._PHONE_ kilometers) / (25 meters) = 199.558656 or 200 lengths.
Approximately 1 609.344 lengths.The English channel is approximately 25 miles wide, and doing the math, you get 1609.344 lengths of a 25m pool
1.4 miles = 2253.08 metres = 90.12 lengths of 25m
4 lengths of a 25M pool, 2 lengths of a 50M pool.
32 lengths of a standard training pool 25m
10 lengths of a 25m pool
2.5km = 2500m 2500m / 25m ('standard' pool length) = 100 lengths
5000 (5k) meters divided by 25 meters =200 lengths
39 lengths of a 50m pool 20 lengths of a 25m pool 43 lengths of a 50yard pool 22 lengths of a 25yard pool
If you mean 5 kilometers, it is 200 lengths.
1 kilometre = 1000 metres. You now have all the information required to work out, for yourself, the answer to this and similar questions.
4 lengths of 25m (not 25km) is 100m So 4x4=16 lengths to make 400m
_PHONE_ lengths of a (standard) 25m pool - that's going to take a long time!
///well, first you figure out how many laps in a 50metre pool then times 2. The answer is 60 laps of the 25 metre pool./// Your actually wrong. 1 lap = 2 lengths. Its 60 lengths or 30 laps Tom :)
It depends on the length of the pool. In a 25m pool, it is 6 lengths.
100 I know this because i used to swim 5k
It depends on how long the pool is, most swimming pools are either 25m or 50m long thus 1km (or 1,000m) will be 40 lengths in a 25m pool and 20 lengths in a 50m pool

Mothman - Alien from another world, or a being from the spiritual realm
More than a film or the 12 foot tall, stainless steel sculpture on display in downtown Point Pleasant in West Virginia, Mothman is a strange creature seen in the United States between November 1966 and November 1967, appearing several times in West Virginia, on the border with Ohio. Artist Robert Roach portrayed the creature in his sculpture as people reported the sightings, a man-sized beast with wings and large reflective or luminous red eyes, that scientist tried to associated with owls, but due to the size and characteristics, it is believed that Mothman was a paranormal phenomena, mostly see during the 1966-69 years.
However, some theories associate Mothman with visitors from outer space or a type of Alien never seen before or after his visit. Mothman was first sighted in November 12, 1966, and named after the Batman TV series. The first apparition occurred in a cemetery close to Clendenin, West Virginia while a group of 5 men were preparing a grave. The workers described the being as a "brown human shape with wings" which lifted off from behind nearby trees and flew over their heads. This sighting was kept in secret in the belief it would not occur again, but 3 days later two young married couples from Point Pleasant, were out for a drive and saw two red lights in the shadows of a nearby World War II TNT factory.
After stopping the car, their curiosity led them to see that the lights were the glowing red eyes of a large animal described as "shaped like a man, but bigger, maybe six and a half or seven feet tall, with big wings folded against its back". This time the creature started chasing the couples, who were terrified drove off in their car, heading for Route 62 toward the Mason County courthouse after finding the creature again standing on a ridge near the road. Later it was revealed that a poltergeist attacked one of the couples' home later the same night, after the encounter with Mothman.
Apparitions of Mothman continued in West Virginia during all of November 1966, and after the reports, strangers dressed in black began to appear in the area. Nobody knew who the Mothman, or the men in black were and where they had come from or went, one year later. Some neighbors of West Virginia believe that Mothman was an alien and the men in black were government agents investigating the strange occurrences, but most people are convinced that Mothman was a paranormal being and the mysterious visitors were Catholic priests who went to exorcise the demonic creature.

Hello I want to Compare two webpages using python script. how can i achieve it? thanks in advance!

what do you want to compare? Do you just want to know whether they are exactly the same? Or whether they look the same? – Sören Mar 8 '11 at 16:50

First, you want to retrieve both webpages. You can use wget, urlretrieve, etc.:
wget Vs urlretrieve of python
Second, you want to "compare" the pages. You can use a "diff" tool as Chinmay noted. You can also do a keyword analysis of the two pages:
 1. Parse all keywords from page. e.g. How do I extract keywords used in text?
 2. Optionally take the "stem" of the words with something like:
 3. Use some math to compare the two pages' keywords, e.g. term frequency–inverse document frequency: _URL_ with some of the python tools out there like these: _URL_

What do you mean by compare? If you just want to find the differences between two files, try difflib, which is part of the standard Python library.

Can subjective resilience indicators predict future food security? Evidence from three communities in rural Kyrgyzstan
Recent attempts to develop a standardised tool to quantify levels of household resilience to climate extremes have typically generated very large household surveys, which take a number of hours to complete. Moreover, there are significant questions over which resilience capacities to measure, how to measure them, and how to weight them for their relative importance in facilitating or hindering resilience in any given context.
This paper is the first to quantitatively compare the power of subjective and objective resilience measures to predict future wellbeing (in this case, represented by household food security) in the face of socio-environmental shocks and stressors. It finds that subjective approaches to resilience measurement may offer an attractive alternative to objective surveys.
Key points for decision-makers
- A subjective approach asks respondents to rate their overall perceived resilience. Therefore more emphasis is placed on what resilience means to local people and it leaves the choice of which capacities, in what combination and quantities up to them.
- The study used a household panel data set collected in three contrasting rural Kyrgyzstan villages. The results reveal that subjective resilience indicators are strong independent predictors of future food security.
- The subjective indicators capture variance that is not picked up by standard objective indicators and increase the accuracy of models that predict future levels of household food security.
- There is tentative evidence that the subjective resilience indicators may be comparable across contexts, but more research is required to confirm this early-stage observation.
This work was undertaken as part of the Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) project.

Description
This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform.
The Stop-Service cmdlet sends a stop message to the Windows Service Controller for each of the specified services. You can specify the services by their service names or display names, or you can use the InputObject parameter to pass a service object that represents the service that you want to stop.
Examples
Example 1: Stop a service on the local computer
PS C:\> Stop-Service -Name "sysmonlog"
This command stops the Performance Logs and Alerts (SysmonLog) service on the local computer.
Example 2: Stop a service by using the display name
PS C:\> Get-Service -DisplayName "telnet" | Stop-Service
This command stops the Telnet service on the local computer. The command uses Get-Service to get an object that represents the Telnet service. The pipeline operator (|) pipes the object to Stop-Service, which stops the service.
Example 3: Stop a service that has dependent services
PS C:\> Get-Service -Name "iisadmin" | Format-List -Property Name, DependentServices
PS C:\> Stop-Service -Name "iisadmin" -Force -Confirm
This example stops the IISAdmin service on the local computer. Because stopping this service also stops the services that depend on the IISAdmin service, it is best to precede Stop-Service with a command that lists the services that depend on the IISAdmin service.
The first command lists the services that depend on IISAdmin. It uses Get-Service to get an object that represents the IISAdmin service. The pipeline operator (|) passes the result to the Format-List cmdlet. The command uses the Property parameter of Format-List to list only the Name and DependentServices properties of the service.
The second command stops the IISAdmin service. The Force parameter is required to stop a service that has dependent services. The command uses the Confirm parameter to request confirmation from the user before it stops each service.

(The source of funds used…)
1) The source of funds used by a non-resident Indian (NRI) should be identified at the time of investing in order to decide if the money can be taken outside the country on sale or redemption.
2) If the source of funds is foreign currency, it can be sent without any restriction. If, however, it is Indian rupees, it cannot be remitted. These two sources cannot be clubbed together.
3) The bank account through which the investment is routed is used to determine the source of funds. The funds that are remitted from abroad into the NRE or FCNR accounts and invested can be freely sent back.
4) The income earned in India on investments is repatriable, irrespective of the source of funds. This includes interest from bonds and bank accounts, rental income, dividends from shares and mutual funds.
5) The income earned on an investment is freely repatriable once the taxes have been paid according to the Indian laws.
6) The income in the form of sale proceeds from capital assets, such as property, land, shares, bonds, and mutual funds held in India, are repatriable to the extent of funds remitted from abroad for buying these capital assets.

European Personal Watercraft Championship in Crikvenica
Jet Ski is the brand name of a personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki.[1] It was the "first commercially successful" personal watercraft in America, having been released in 1972.[1] The term is sometimes used to refer to any type of personal watercraft.
Common noun[edit]
Though the proper noun "Jet Ski" is a registered trademark of Kawasaki, the common noun "jet ski" refers to small recreational watercraft.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary records the term in use in 1961 to describe the aquatic motorbike, and in 1948 to designate a jet-propelled aircraft equipped with skis.[3]

PURPOSE Several studies have examined the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk and progression, however nearly all of these studies have compared diabetic versus non-diabetic men. We sought to investigate the role of glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c, on PCa aggressiveness and prognosis in men with DM and PCa from the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital (SEARCH) database. METHODS We identified 247 men in SEARCH with DM and a recorded HbA1c value within the 12 months prior to radical prostatectomy between 1988 and 2009. We divided these men into tertiles by HbA1c level. The associations between HbA1c tertiles and risk of adverse pathology and biochemical recurrence were tested using multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, respectively. RESULTS Median HbA1c level was 6.9. On multivariate analysis, HbA1c tertiles were predictive of pathological Gleason score (P-trend = 0.001). Relative to the first tertile, men in the second (OR 4.68, P = 0.003) and third tertile (OR 6.60, P < 0.001) were more likely to have Gleason score ≥4 + 3. HbA1c tertiles were not associated with margin status, node status, extracapsular extension or seminal vesicle invasion (all P-trend > 0.2). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, increasing HbA1c tertiles were not significantly related to risk of biochemical recurrence (P-trend = 0.56). CONCLUSION Men with higher HbA1c levels presented with more biologically aggressive prostate tumors at radical prostatectomy. Although risk of recurrence was unrelated to HbA1c levels, further studies are needed to better explore the importance of glycemic control on long-term outcomes in diabetic men with PCa.

23. Welsh Rare Plants
A major conservation project is being carried out at the Garden. Working with the National Museum of Wales and the Countryside Council for Wales, the Garden is collecting the seeds of, and propagating, some of Wales's rarest plants. In a display behind Theatr Botanica you can find a selection of these plants. Here you'll find one of Britain's rarest and most critically-endangered trees, the Ley's Whitebeam (Sorbus leyana) and a hawkweed that only grows naturally on rocks around a single waterfall in the Brecon Beacons.


Introduction: The Psychoacoustic Bucket From Hell
Picture of The Psychoacoustic Bucket From Hell
Hi!!
What is this you are probably asking yourself from the title (and the fact that the bucket in question looks just plain normal) ?
Most certainly, you were expecting some kind of mega Halloween hell bound caldron or at least a mean looking trick or treat bucket that produced some kind of light show.
Well, kind of.
This is without doubt, one of the scariest props that you can build, not because it in itself is scary, but because it will induce anxiety, uneasiness, fear, chills down the spine in about 30% of the people who are in the same room as the bucket.
Yeah, right.....
How does it do that?
Well, with...
Science!!!
Inside the lid of this bucket is a DIY infrasound driver that can produce high pressure sound waves up to some 18hz.
From Wikipedia:
Psychoacoustics is the scientific study of sound perception. More specifically, it is the branch of science studying the psychological and physiological responses associated with sound (including speech and music). It can be further categorized as a branch of psychophysics
It turns out that while we can't actually hear infrasound, we can still feel it, and some frequencies cause some odd (and some creepy) reactions to our body.
For example, 4hz very high pressure transducers are banded from sales, because at 4hz, the air in our lungs starts to resonate and you can't breath.
Some people experience nausea at 10hz.
And some, about 30% according to some of the only papers I have found of the subject, feel afraid or "a presence" at around 17Hz.
Between 17hz and 18hz some people's eyes start to resonate, and a slight visual hallucination is produced, like the light you see if you press you eyes with your fingers.
This, combined with the strange unease and your killer Halloween murder ghost story, and you will have some very scared guests.
If you're curios, and want to know more about the science behind this phenomena, download the papers included in this Instructable.
Now, this actually took some 6 months of research to come up with, while the build in itself will take only some 6 hrs.
The first build question is the most obvious: Why not use a subwoofer and amp?
Well.....it turns out that few woofers can go safely down to 15hz, and they are EXPENSIVE. Add to that an amp capable of driving it, and you are looking at close to $500 specially if you need (as we do) high sound pressure levels.
ouch... back to the drawing board.
Next I researched into subsonic whistles (driven by compressed air) but the tube length needed made it both expensive and impractical.
I finally came to an old sub woofer design called the ServoDrive, that used a servomotor coupled to the cones.
This was perfect since the old ServoDrives were close to 80% efficiency due to the servomotor's high efficiency (95%) and the direct mechanical coupling.
And I could cheaply build a simple single frequency version.
Something I learned while doing this project is how inefficient voice coil speakers are. Most commercial woofers are 1% to 2% efficient, meaning that the 300 watt woofer and amp are giving you some 3 to 6 watts of equivalent sound level pressure (over simplified but its close)
I'm feeding my driver some 20watts (at 50% efficiency) so maybe I builded the equivalent of a 500 to 1000 watt woofer and amp.
Now, my design is limited to a single output frequency.
Step 1: What You Need
Picture of What You Need
You will need:
Parts:
 - One plastic 19L bucket (I bought mine at HomeDepot, so it would be a Halloween orange :D )
 - One cheap 12 volt car portable air compressor (that you will destroy)
 - Some scrap plywood strips
 - JB Weld or Liquid Nails
 - 4 wood screws
 - 1 wire hanger
 - Variable DC power supply
Tools:
 - Handsaw
 - Screwdriver
 - Pliers.
Step 2: Prepare the Lid
Picture of Prepare the Lid
Saw a hole in the bucket lid one inch from the inside lip.
Save the left over, since it will be your "cone"
Step 3: Disasemble Air Compresor.
Picture of Disasemble Air Compresor.
Once you remove all the screws from your pump housing, you will find something very much like what you see in the picture; a motor plus cylinder.
Remove the cylinder, and the piston head, so you are left with the motor, the crank and the piston arm (like in the last pic)
Step 4: Start Building the Spider.
Picture of Start Building the Spider.
Use the plywood scraps to build the spider that will hold the motor and crank.
The piston arm must be dead center in the lid. Use little plywood blocks to lift the spider 1" to 1.5" from the lid bottom so that your "cone" will move only on the inside of the lid.
Now be careful with the blocks, since they must be parallel to each other. (see pic and next steps)
Step 5: The "cone"
Picture of The "cone"
I glued some plywood to the leftover lid to give it rigidity.
The distance between the two parallel sticks is the same as the thickness of the spider legs (the small plywood blocks). This is important because I glued some bits of wire hanger on the sides that inhibit the cone from spinning inside the spider. Please see next step so this will be clearer .
Step 6: Assemble the Driver.
Picture of Assemble the Driver.
Drill a hole dead center in the cone.
Attach a piece of 4" wire hanger to the piston arm.
Place the cone inside the lid as in the picture. The parallel pieces of plywood on the cone will line up to the spider's wood blocks. Glue the 2" pieces of wire hanger to the cone's plywood. This will avoid the cone from moving sideways.
Turn the driver upside down and clip the extra wire coming from the piston arm, fold it and glue it.
Drill a small hole in the lid and pass the motor's wires to the other side of the lid.
Place a screw through the lid in each of the spider's blocks to firmly secure them in place (see picture)
Place driver on bucket.
Step 7: Turn It on and Calibrate.
Picture of Turn It on and Calibrate.
Since room acoustics are really important in sub sonic drivers, I put the bucket, a variable DC power supply and myself into a small bathroom and closed the door and bathroom window.
I hooked up the bucket to the DC power supply and started to experiment with different voltage settings.
Since the DC voltage is more or less proportional to motor speed, the higher the voltage, the higher to output frequency.
At 2 volts, the prototype driver is not completely noiseless, as the motor makes noise and the cone rubbing the sides, but it really moves air!!
At 6.1 volts, I had to turn it off, as I got really nauseated.
At 9.4 volts, Success!! I managed to creep myself out!! I could "feel" someone in there with me, it was a really odd sensation, not pleasant at all and even tough I knew what was going on, the creepy factor was there.
I can't wait for Halloween next year!!
Note:
If you don't want to keep your DC power supply connected to the bucket, you can use a DC power wall supply and the appropriate resistor network to supply the correct voltage, or if your a bit handy in the electronics department, build a regulated DC power supply using a LM317 or similar.

This is definitely one of the more innovative ideas I've come across for infrasonics. I've had a few ideas for new infrasonic speaker designs occur to me in my research, but finding a capable engineer who can put them to the test has been the challenge for me. What I'd really like to design is a mobile infrasonic system compact enough to be worn. There are a lot of documented positive effects besides all of the strange ones when you manage to hit the right frequencies and Decibel levels, but most of the equipment has to be custom built.

Did you try it in larger rooms? Would the perceived intensity be inversely correlated with room volume?
newbeatle (author)2015-04-12
so interesting not for a creeping experience intead a way to make subsonic sounds. i have a question about the motor , which kind of power supply you have used ? and how do you make to avoid or eliinate the noise of the motor? i know that you use low RPM and so there is no much noise as when you drive it at a normal speed , but how do you make it spin quietly ? regards from mexico
urant (author)newbeatle2015-04-13
Hi,
I used a desktop 12VDC power supply. Since the motor is DC, it makes virtually no noise.
Now, if you want to dig a little deeper, it turns out that some of the first commercially avaliable high power sub woofers actually used servo motors as the "moving coil"


bool OEMMFFAtomTypes(OEMolBase &mol)
Assigns MMFF94 integer atom type to atoms in passed molecule. Returns true when all atom types are successfully assigned.
The correct atom typing requires the following conditions:
 - The molecule has to have explicit hydrogens.
 - The molecule has to have (MMFF) aromaticity model.
We highly recommend assigning MMFF partial charges to a molecule by calling the OEAssignCharges function with the OEMMFF94Charges class of the Quacpac TK.

FoodFun Lifeskills Instructional Software
FoodFun LIS' flagship product is a software package designed for non-readers, generally individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, and other people with developmental disabilities. Most transition/lifeskills training programs focus on four key areas of life: food/cooking/nutrition, money management, health/safety, and social interaction/leisure. FoodFun's product focuses on food/cooking as well as social interaction, two of the primary lifeskills needed for independent living.
Non-readers rely on visual images as a form of communication, a replacement for the more typical text that readers are able to understand. The first component of the software is a digital cookbook of recipes. The software displays pictures of the different ingredients needed for the recipe. The pictures are then printed allowing the individual to take the picture to the grocery store facilitating the purchasing of the groceries. On each picture is also text explaining what the item is. Within each recipe is the ability to print the different utensils and pots needed to complete the item. While the recipes are meant to be cooked with support, the main goal is to allow the individual to have independent shopping.
The user first sees a bunch of different pictures of food dishes with names below the pictures. The user then chooses a dish and is brought to a screen where the ingredients are listed by picture and also the different utensils/pots/pans needed are listed. Once the user chooses what they want to prepare they can then print up a list of the different ingredients. The list is picture based (with text) and they are able to take the picture list to the grocery to assist them in purchasing the ingredients independently.
The second component of the software is the social occasion/party planning module. This is the fun part (in addition to the fun food pictures). Everyone likes to plan for party. The screen opens with pictures showing different occassions such as a picnic in the park, friends and movie night, birthday party, holiday event, pool party, etc. When the user clicks on the chosen image they hear 30 seconds of background music in a theme matched to the event that they have chosen. Once they have chosen the event the software takes them through the different steps of food preparation for the event. These food preparation steps are the previously explained food component that is now organized not by dish but by event. If a picnic in a park is chosen there will be several dishes to be made, all of them cold as there is no way of heating the dishes while you are in the park. All users of this module will be entertained by the background sounds as well as the excitement of planning for a party.
This component is especially important in the individual's development. Planning activities are especially important for a population that is so isolated. Without socialization skills such as parties, the clients end up learning the skills and then sit in their apartment alone.
Ultimately, FoodFun's software product combines two of the most important lifeskills/transition training areas, food preparation and social leisure. The food component allows the non-reading individuals with developmental disabilities to become more independent in their daily activities. The social planning module leverages the existing food module and assists the users in panning for social occassions centered around food. This module is designed to be entertaining to capture the interest and imagination of the user, drawing them into the software, creating the desire to use the product.
The software product will be developed by three contract programmers. The software will be upgraded yearly.


XT … Marketing's Role in the Boardroom
A new study from the Australian Marketing Institute (AMI) and consulting giant Deloitte, claims marketers need to work harder to speak the language of the board if they're to get their organisations to truly appreciate marketing's strategic role.
According to the paper (download it below), Australian company boards have been asking the wrong questions of marketers and would benefit from a better understanding of the critical role marketing plays in business strategy development and execution.
To help achieve this perception shift, the AMI and Deloitte set out a 10-step marketing evaluation framework covering previous period and future performance:
 1. Identify marketing assets
 3. Identify changes to these existing metrics (such as evolving marketing dynamics, competitor actions) and the factors influencing these changes
 4. Assess the value added by marketing in the previous period
 5. Identify significant market issues, opportunities and risks and how they will be managed
 7. Evaluate period performance, based on planning marketing investment
 8. Understand potential competitive reactions and environmental uncertainties and develop contingency plans to mitigate their effects
 10. Develop metrics for monitoring performance in terms of application of resources (inputs), performance (outputs) and marketing efficiency (conversion).

|The Commonwealth of Virginia is committed to providing quality education for all students. This commitment includes keeping parents and the public informed through the Virginia School Report Card of the progress of our schools in raising student achievement and enhancing the learning environment. The ratings for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and school accreditation for specific school year are based on the achievement of students on tests taken during the previous academic year.|
|Stony Mill History|
Stony Mill began as a one room log building in about 1897. Three brothers, Charlie, Fletcher, and James Hardy, built the school, which enrolled forty-five students and was originally named Hardy School. The Hardy family later gave the land and the school to Pittsylvania County. When the school was destroyed by fire, the county purchased land from a neighboring resident and built a two-room frame building. Today's building was built as a result of consolidation of schools in 1963.
In 1996, Stony Mill went through a massive renovation and construction program. The school plant now includes twenty-eight classrooms and five mobile units, a gymnasium, a library, technology labs, and a teacher workroom.
The school consists of grades preschool through five, with three to four classes at each grade level. State Remedial Reading, music classes, gifted classes, physical education classes, and guidance services are offered to approximately 475 students enrolled at Stony Mill.

for New Puerto Rican Parrot Aviary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The endangered Puerto Rican Parrot will soon have a new facility to aid in its recovery. Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and its partners, will break ground and begin construction of a new aviary.
About one acre at the Caribbean National Forest (commonly known as El Yunque) will be used to relocate operations from an old military installation to a state-of-the-art facility at a cost of roughly $2.5 million. The facility will have a nursery, hospital, hurricane room, kitchen and outdoor cages. Congress appropriated $1.7 million to build the aviary. Additional funds will come from private donations and other partners. As part of their continued partnership with the Service, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Parrot International and other organizations are working to raise the necessary funds.
The Service is working closely with the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources and the U.S. Forest Service to bolster the conservation and recovery of Puerto Rico 's only native parrot species.
Bright green feathers, with a red forehead, white rings around its eyes and wings that flash blue-turquoise in flight, the Puerto Rican Parrot is the only native parrot in the United States. It is the most endangered parrot and one of the ten most endangered birds in the world. Currently, there are less than 200 parrots alive.
A captive breeding program set up more than three decades ago has helped lift the Puerto Rican parrot population from a low point in 1975, when only 13 wild birds were recorded. Thirty five parrots raised in captivity have been released into the wild.
Today, 158 captive parrots live in one of two aviaries, one managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service in El Yunque and the other managed by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources is located in Rio Abajo, Utuado Puerto Rico.
The Service aviary supports the only existing wild population of parrots through fostering, emergency care of sick and injured wild nestlings, and boosting the wild population through captive releases. However the management needs of the species have outgrown the management options available at the present location. Frequent landslides isolate the facilities, power failures are frequent, space is limited, and the environment is extremely humid affecting both the parrots and our dedicated staff.
The Forest Service prepared an Environmental Assessment and multiple surveys of the construction site. No threatened or endangered plant species were found in the area. The Forest Service did find two endemic tree species of special concern known as Tortugo prieto (Ravenia urbanii) and the Puerto Rican rain tree. These trees were relocated to the Forest Service Nursery or other nearby locations.
The site is potential habitat for endangered or threatened animals: the Puerto Rican Boa (Epicrates inornatus), the Puerto Rican Sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter venator), Puerto Rican Brad-winged hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and Chupacallos tree (plendedron macranthum). During construction contractors will ensure that if any of these species or new species are discovered the project will be held up for the safe removal of the species.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 95-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System that encompasses 544 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas. It also operates 70 national fish hatcheries, 64 fishery resource offices, and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores national significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.

VAL DI SUGA Brunello di Montalcino Spuntali 2016
VIGNA SPUNTALI is one of the oldest Brunello made with the concept of the single vineyard Spuntali expresses the nature of the sandy soils and Mediterranean climate. Here Sangiovese ripens very well and reaches outstanding levels of generosity. On the nose it shows combination of candied orange note with spices and Mediterranean herbs (thyme mint rosemary). The palate shows supple fruit wrapped tannins with creamy long savory texture.
NAMEVAL DI SUGA Brunello di Montalcino Spuntali 2016
COUNTRY OF ORIGINItaly
ABOUT THE WINERY
The 2016 vintage started out with a large amount of precipitation from January through February, which helped to build water reserves. March was cooler than normal, with budbreak starting around the middle of the month, leading into a temperate yet dry April. However, water reserves from the winter months maintained homogenous growth throughout.
The end of April into May was rainy followed by June, which continued to be wet yet more in line with an average year. Luckily, temperatures were cooler than usual, which slowed growth of the vines. Combined with good ventilation (for both northern and southern slopes), this mix kept the production of rot at bay. Ultimately, these conditions were the key to balancing the warm and dry summer months. Warm but never hot, 2016 is often described as having very even temperatures and no dramatic swings, other than the strong diurnal shifts between day and night, which helped in the healthy maturation of fruit. The autumn months and into harvest continued this theme, with temperate and dry conditions.

Gilfield Baptist observes 150th anniversary
Published 9:58 am Friday, November 8, 2013
MERLE MONAHAN/CONTRIBUTING WRITER
IVOR—Gilfield Baptist Church, the oldest African-American church in Southampton County, will conclude the celebration of its 150th anniversary at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, at the church.
The Rev. Ivan Harris of Denbigh Baptist Church in Newport News will bring the message immediately following dinner in the fellowship hall.
Organized just prior to the Civil War in 1863 by several descendants of slaves, the first service was held under a brush harbor, on the site where the current church now stands.
A history of the church states that the first members of Gilfield were members of Tucker Swamp Baptist, but wanted their own place of worship. A parcel of land owned by African-Americans William and Eliza Diggs near Ivor was offered for this purpose and Gilfield was organized.
Members of the new church began to hold prayer meetings at the site, where they eventually built a small church building. On May 9, 1873, William and Eliza Diggs donated this parcel of land to the trustees of Gilfield.
Through the years, the church has had only 10 pastors, starting with the Rev. Jordan Thomas, who served for four years. He was succeeded by the Rev. Ashley Lewis, who served seven years.
The Rev. Holland Powell became the next pastor, serving six years, then the Rev. Henry Madison, who served 12 years.
Madison's son, the Rev. Collin Madison, succeeded him and served 20 years. The Rev. Ralph Paige became the next pastor, serving three years.
The longest-serving leader of the church succeeded Paige. He was the Rev. George King, who was at the helm of Gilfield for 41 years.
Under King's guidance, the church continued to grow, according to the history.
From 1947 through 1952, a number of renovations took place, such as adding new floors, new restrooms and new heaters.
Also in 1952, a gift was presented to the congregation – an oil painting of the early church by Walter Cecil Rawls, a native of Ivor. Rawls, founder of Walter Cecil Rawls Library and an artist, said he was inspired to paint the picture because of his first vision of the church as a young boy.
"This church, standing on the hill in this grove of trees, was to me a beautiful place," Rawls said.
He also left $1,000 to the church at his death.
The Rev. Curtis Harris became the next pastor and served 33 years. He was followed by the Rev. Eustice Mitchell, who resigned after 10 years in 2008.
The church is led by the Rev. Kenneth Ricks, who worked along with Shirley Winnegan-Harris, anniversary chairman and co-chair, Gladys Ruffin in organizing the celebration.
"We had a banquet in May at the Tabernacle Christian Church in Suffolk to kick off the celebration," said Harris. "Oh, it was a grand occasion."
She said a plaque has also been hung inside the church naming those who supported the celebration.
"We're also working on a memorial booklet, like the ones we've done for several years before," Harris added.
Portia McClenny, 91, who attended the banquet, said she loves Gilfield and wouldn't miss the anniversary service.
"I've been a member for 73 years, having joined in 1940, right after my husband, Theodore, and I got married. He was a lifetime member and we were quite active in the church during the early years.
"In fact, all my children were baptized there."
McClenny added that she and her husband owned a large farm near Ivor, and traveled to Africa as missionaries from the church to teach the people how to farm.
The church mother said she has fond memories of the early days at Gilfield.
"I remember the huge revivals, when members of the church had to feed the preachers.
"I can't tell you how many meals I've cooked just for that purpose," McClenny said with a smile.
As the church grows, its activities increase. Harris, who is also church clerk, said services are held at Gilfield for the first four Sundays in the month and at one of several other churches on fifth Sunday.
"We have formed a fellowship with St. Luke's, First Baptist, New Branch and Beulah land. We alternate having services at one of these churches on every fifth Sunday," she said.
"We've had lean times and better times," Harris revealed. "But we are a dedicated group of people who want to hear God's word. And because of that, we work hard to keep our church up.
She said they recently borrowed more than $100,000 to make renovations. They expect to pay off the mortgage in December.
Not bad for the little "Church on the Hill at the Turn of the Road," a phrase used early on to identify Gilfield.

Binary package "roary" in ubuntu kinetic
high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline
 Roary is a high speed stand alone pan genome pipeline, which takes annotated
 assemblies in GFF3 format (as produced, for instance, by Prokka) and calculates
 the pan genome. Using a standard desktop PC, it can analyse datasets with
 thousands of samples, something which is computationally infeasible with
 existing methods, without compromising the quality of the results. 128 samples
 can be analysed in under 1 hour using 1 GB of RAM and a single processor.
 To perform this analysis using existing methods would take weeks and hundreds
 of GB of RAM. Roary is not intended for meta-genomics or for comparing
 extremely diverse sets of genomes.

Random Number Generator using ReactJS
by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023
In this kit, we're going to create random number generator using reactjs with simple steps. Javascript creates pseudo-random numbers with the function Math. random() . This function takes no parameters and creates a random decimal number between 0 and 1. The returned value may be 0, but it will never be 1. Math.random() returns a random number between 0 (inclusive), and 1 (exclusive). On every click you'll get an random number. To implement this use the ready-made code snippet below with added required library. Just copy the code and paste it in your IDE. Explore more top trending libraries and snippets on kandi.
