Training to Compete
Develop the Engine
The Player - SPECIALIZES
The players in this stage are generally around 16 - 19 years old for boys and around 15 - 18 years old for girls
Players are more likely to have committed themselves to rugby as their chief sport. They are more willing to invest a significant amount of time and energy to become successful. They are driven and are fiercely competitive with a greater capacity for all game related competencies. Players pay more attention to developing themselves as positional specialists in order to undertake their functional roles.
Players at this stage are capable of independent thinking and of taking greater responsibility while also contributing more toward problem solving.
The Coach - FACILITATES
Since players have the capacity for greater input, the role of the coach shifts towards facilitation. Allowing opportunity for opinions and problem solving is critical if players are to develop confidence and relative autonomy.
The coach will still need to employ teaching, challenging and guiding skills where appropriate. The emphasis should be on developing players' ability to navigate rather than replicate.
The Game - OUTCOMES
The game becomes fiercely competitive with positional specialists influencing games, mini units and units well are synchronized and team play concentrates on reducing errors and maximizing success. The focus is on achieving desired outcomes with respect to attacking and defensive goals (team, unit, mini-unit).

Sunday, 7 January 2024
A detailed analysis of the meteorological data from the Malaga Airport recording station has revealed that it rained on only 232 days in five years but in half of these dates less than five millimetres of rain fell and in a third less than 1mm fell. The longest period without a drop of rain occurred between 25 April 2019 and 14 September 2019. And in nine of the 72 months that make up the study period, from 2019, not a single drop of rain fell.
The analysis of the data provided by Spain's Met Office (Aemet) to SUR gives a true measure of the serious drought situation that Malaga province is going through. In the five-year period from 2019 to 2023, 1,613.2mm of rainfall was recorded at the airport which equates to a poor average of 322.6mm per year.
During the study period, there were 45 days with more than 10mm of rainfall, 21 days with more than 20mm; 14 days with more than 30mm; eight days with more than 40mm; and four days in which the rain gauge registered more than 50mm.
The wettest days were: on 8 January 2021 (61.7mm); 20 March 2019 (60.3mm); and 25 March 2022 (60.2mm). A good amount of rainfall also occurred between 20 and 25 January 2020, in the run-up to the pandemic when it rained five days in a row with an accumulated total of 145mm.
It is known that 2023 was the driest year since official records were kept in 1942. Last year, rain fell on only 37 days, with an accumulated total recorded at Malaga Airport of 179.3mm. The second driest year was in 2019 when rain fell on just 31 days with an accumulated total of 207.2mm. The best year was 2020 when it rained on 56 days with an accumulated total of 459.8mm.
The drought of 1995, which was the culmination of a very poor five years in terms of rainfall, is still very clear in the memory of many people. Since 1990 and in the successive years, only 330mm, 398mm, 320mm, 468mm, 304mm, and 315mm of rain was recorded at the airport. In 1996, it rained, and it rained a lot: 1,120mm, similar to the 1,307mm of 1978 and the 1,169mm of 2010.

Christening gowns came about during the Victorian era (which was around 1837 until the 1900's). History says that baptisms were occasions that were greatly celebrated as a child was accepted into the Christian world. The Church then insisted that babies during baptism wear white as a symbol of innocence and purity.
After the christening, Victorian families would carefully store the gown to be passed down to the next child. Thus the tradition of turning christening dresses into family heirlooms began.
|Ivory Angelic Organza Float Christening Dress|
Fast-forward to almost a hundred years later, and white is still the preferred color. Also, many families still keep the baptismal garment as a remembrance of a beautiful celebration. While that remains the same, there are differences that have been brought about by changing times.
|Satin with Embroidered Organza Christening Gown|
First, we add beige and off-white to the repertoire of colors that can be worn by a child during baptism. Add to this the many designs, style additions, and dress lengths than can be chosen from. Second, this generation has smaller families, and so passing down a christening gown might mean having a child wear it once every few years. That's why parents opt to just keep the original dress and purchase a new one for the next child.
|Traditional Christening Gown with Capsleeves|
But despite changing times, the essence of an heirloom remains the same. Being an heirloom no longer means passing it down from one generation to another. You can call a dress your family's heirloom because your most precious treasure (your child) wore it on her special day.

Hyperfine-assisted fast electric control of dopant nuclear spins in semiconductors
Nuclear spins of dopant atoms in semiconductors are promising candidates as quantum bits, due to the long lifetime of their quantum states. Conventionally, coherent control of nuclear spins is done using ac magnetic fields. Using the example of a phosphorus atom in silicon, we theoretically demonstrate that hyperfine interaction can enhance the speed of magnetic control. Based on that result, we show that hyperfine interaction also provides a means to control the nuclear spin efficiently using an ac electric field, in the presence of intrinsic or artifical spin-orbit interaction. The electric control scheme we describe is especially fast in a hybrid dot-donor system subject to an inhomogeneous magnetic field.

Adaptive Release - Create Multiple Rules for a Content Item
Adaptive release allows instructors and course designers to release course content based on rules that they create; in other words, you can control what content is made available to which students and under what conditions they are allowed to see it. Rules can be created for individuals or groups, based on criteria related to date, time, assessment scores or attempts, and the review status of other items in the course.
By the time you finish this tutorial you should be able to
1. Create Multiple Rules
2. Set Criteria
2. Use an items contextual menu to access Adaptive Release. To do this select the Double Down Arrow positioned next to the item title.
- Adaptive Release – used to create basic rules for an item. In this tool only one rule per item may be created.
For instance, instructors can create one rule containing multiple criteria which makes users satisfy all restriction before gaining access to the item.
- Adaptive Release: Advanced – this feature allows instructors to create multiple rules per item. For example, if different rules apply for different Groups in a course this feature should be used.
When an item has multiple rules applied to it users need to satisfy the criteria of only one rule to gain access.
3. For the purpose of this tutorial we will use Adaptive Release: Advanced to create a rule with multiple criteria and multiple rules.
6. A success message appears at the top of the screen. Now Select Create Criteria. You can create criteria according to Date, Grade, Membership and Review Status. For content to be visible to a user the user must satisfy all the criteria in a rule.
7. Membership Criteria allows content to be displayed to specific users and Groups. Use the Username field to enter individual users and the Course-Groups field to select Available Course Groups.
All Groups can be selected, even those that are unavailable. To Select one or more course groups highlight the Group Name and select the Right Arrow.
8. Now add another criterion. Adding criteria to the rule will narrow the ability of users to view the content item. Select Create Criteria > Date.
10. When multiple criteria are added to a rule. The word AND appears between each criteria. This means that all of the rules criteria must be met before the item is released.
11. Now Create a New Rule. In creating a new rule a different option or path for releasing the content will be available. The content will be released if any one of the rules is satisfied.
14. Content items can be released based on an attempt (A) or score (B).
For example, an Instructor may prepare a pre-test for Students to prepare for the Final Exam. A Student cannot take the Final Exam until the pre-test has been attempted, regardless of the grade. Instructors can also restrict access to an item until a certain score or score range is reached on a test or quiz.
15. Select a Grade Center column, Set a condition and Submit.
16. On the Adaptive Release: Advanced page you can see that when multiple rules are added the word OR appears between each rule. This means that one of the rules must be satisfied for the item to be released.

 ALL
 - Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):
 ALL
 - Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
 Downloads get interrupted sometimes. Especially frustrating for larger downloads like ISO files.
 - Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
In Konsole first cd to the directory where you want to download an ISO file then choose one of the following commands:
$ aria2c -c -m 0 _URL_
$ wget -d -c --tries=0 --read-timeout=30 _URL_
$ curl -L -C - _URL_
This post expands on the curl command and exlains the options in the command string.
Normally you would download as user not as root.
$ curl -L -C - _URL_
Here is what the options mean :
Option What It Does
-L Some URLs redirect to some other sites. This option tells cURL to obtain the file from that redirected location.
-C – This option is for telling cURL to resume download and the dash ("-") that follows it is to automatically detect the size of the file to continue downloading.

Let $(E,\mathscr E)$ be a measurable space and $(S,2^S)$ be a finite set. Let $$ \xi:(E,\mathscr E)\to(S,2^S) $$ be a mesaurable function, i.e. $\xi^{-1}(s)\in \mathscr E$ for any $s\in S$. Now, let us denote by $\Omega = E^{\mathbb N_0}$ and by $\mathscr F$ its product $\sigma$-algebra. Also, let $\Sigma = S^{\mathbb N_0}$ and let $\mathscr S$ be the correspondent product $\sigma$-algebra.
Let $\eta:\Omega\to\Sigma$ be the element-wise extension of $\xi$, i.e. $$ \eta(\omega_0,\omega_1,\dots) = (\xi(\omega_0),\xi(\omega_1),\dots). $$
I wonder if $\mathscr S$ is different from $$ \mathscr C = \{A\subseteq \Sigma:\eta^{-1}(A)\in \mathscr F\}. $$ It is clear that $\mathscr S\subseteq \mathscr C$ - but can the strict inclusion actually happen?

Yes, strict inclusion can happen. If $S$ has more than one element, $(\Sigma,\mathscr{S})$ will be an uncountable compact metric space with the Borel $\sigma$-algebra. By standard arguments, there will be $\mathfrak{c}$ many measurable sets, there are as many measurable sets as real numbers. Also, $|\Sigma|=\mathfrak{c}$.
Now let $S=\{0,1,2\}$ and let $\xi$ be the constant function that maps everything to $2$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ subsets of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$. Take any subset $A$ of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$ and let $A'=A\cup\{(2,2,2,\ldots)\}$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ sets of this form and since $\eta^{-1}(A')=\Omega$ for all of them, they are all in $\mathscr{C}$.
So for cardinality reasons, the inclusion will be strict. Note that $\mathscr{C}$ is the largest $\sigma$-algebra on $\Sigma$ that is compatible with $\eta$ being measurable. It shouldn't be surprising that it is quite large.

The Thunder Creep (ingame name Ukkoshyypiö) is a ghostly enemy, mainly found floating around The Tower and the Cloudscape. It possesses no attacks of its own, but is constantly surrounded by an always-active Projectile Thunder Field. Like the Hyypiö and Hohtava hyypiö, it will chase the player relentlessly until killed or blocked by terrain.
Behaviour[edit | edit source]
Because this creature is entirely non-aggressive, it will never attack the player. The real danger comes from its innate Thunder Field that constantly surrounds it. Upon being attacked by a projectile from afar, it will reflect it back as a Lightning Bolt. If shot from within the circle, the lightning will strike out from it instead, away from the player. This can be beneficially exploited by the player as a potentially cheap and rapid way to produce lightning bolts, albeit *only* lightning bolts. The usual considerations and risks of using lightning spells still apply, so use carefully.
Combat Tips[edit | edit source]
The Ukkoshyypiö's unique properties require a less conventional approach to defeating it.
 - The most reliable and effective way is to attack it from within the Projectile Thunder Field itself, as only spells that cross the Projectile Thunder Field border will be turned into lightning.
 - You can also kick it, but with your foot's low damage output you'd be at it for quite a while. The Never Skip Leg Day perk makes this a much more viable option.
 - You can suffocate it by drowning it in a powdery substance or terrain.
 - Explosive spells will also work, as long as the projectile is detonated outside of the influence of the thunder field and the explosion is large enough to reach.
 - Dropping/kicking physics entities like rocks, tablets or barrels at it will quickly finish it, and may be the safest option if no other means are available.
 - It is immune to its own lightning, and highly resistant to the explosions from it.
If you lack the means to kill it, however, the safest option is to keep your distance as much as possible.

text: The social facilitation effect describes the change in the performance of the task under the influence of the presence of observers. The effect itself consists of two components: social facilitation in simple tasks and social inhibition in complex tasks. In the context of the dynamic development of new technologies, the question of the possible influence on human behavior by virtual characters gains importance. We attempted to critically describe and summarize current research on social facilitation in order to answer the question of whether it occurs in virtual environments. We found 13 relevant studies, 3 of which demonstrated social facilitation, 4 social inhibition and 1 demonstrated the whole effect. The conclusions drawn from the analysis are ambiguous. Firstly, we identified that 12 out of 13 analyzed studies failed to show the whole effect. Secondly, we encountered several shortcomings of the summarized research that further complicated its interpretation. The shortcomings: presence of the researcher, unclear usage of "agent" and "avatar", evaluation of activation, no pilot tests of observers and no description of how their characteristics are generated, among others, are discussed. Furthermore, we investigated the effect sizes and their variability. The average effect size for social facilitation was g = 0.18, CI [-0.28; 0.64] and for social inhibition g = -0.18, CI [-0.40; 0.04]. In social facilitation, a substantial level of heterogeneity was detected. Finally, we conclude that it is still too early to provide a definite answer to the question of whether social facilitation exists in Virtual Environments. We recommend limiting evaluation activation to the lowest possible level, conducting pilot tests prior to the experiment, avoiding the presence of the researcher in the experimental room and a clear distinction of "agent" and "avatar", as measures to achieve a better quality in future research.

|A circular prime number is a number that remains prime on any cyclic rotation of its digits. For our purposes, we're only interested in numbers of base 10 (i.e., decimal-based numbers).
Any one-digit prime is circular by default. Thus, the circular one-digit primes are: 2, 3, 5 and 7.
For multi-digit numbers, the digits can only consist of the numbers 1, 3, 7 and 9, since any even digit will eventually be rotated to the unit's place and make the number even, and any number ending with 5 is divisible by the circular prime number 5.
A number consisting entirely of 1s is called a RepUnit (i.e., repetitive unit - denoted as Rn) and is not discussed in detail here. These types of circular primes are easier to factor than the non-RepUnit ones due to Fermat's Little Theorem and other optimized algorithms. One requirement, however, is that the number of units has to be prime.
Rm*n = (10m*n - 1) /9
= ((10m - 1) / 9) * (10m*(n - 1) + 10m*(n - 2) + … + 10m + 1)
= Rm * (10m*(n - 1) + 10m*(n - 2) + … + 10m + 1)
Visually, n Rm's concatenated together would form an Rm*n, as would m Rn's.
11111 11111 … 11111 = Rm*n
Rm Rm Rm
Hence, Rn is prime only if n is prime.
The current list of circular primes are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11 (R2), 13, 17, 37, 79, 113, 197, 199, 337, 1193, 3779, 11939, 19937, 193939, 199933, R19, R23, R317, and R1031.
A few more potential circular primes are:
R49081 and R86453.
With the exception of the numbers 2 and 5, the digits of any circular prime have to be 1, 3, 7, or 9.
Since we're trying to optimize the algorithm, let us assume the following decimal-to-binary, one-to-one mapping:
Thus, for two-digit numbers,
Let's look at 32-bit binary numbers.
Assume, n = 677643.
0FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA987654321 = 32 bits
00000000000010100101011100001011 = 677643 ↔ _PHONE_
00000000000011101001010111000010 = 955842 ↔ _PHONE_
Thus, to rotate any integer with n digits, we just perform a couple of bitwise shifts on the current integer and compare the new one with the old.
This works well when testing 32 and 64-bit decimal numbers, or digits up to length 16 and 32.
Method #1 can be combined with a linked list to speed up the search and remove method.
To search for 3-digit circular numbers, we first create a list of all 3-digit numbers that begin with 1.
Then, to find the 3-digit numbers that begin with 3, we start searching through the list of numbers beginning with 1 from 133.
Next, we find the 3-digit numbers that begin with 7 by searching through the list of numbers beginning with 3 found from 377.
Since 333 and 777 are divisible by 3 and 7, respectively, we can just as easily skip those numbers. If the number is 0, then no rotation is performed, and a special algorithm to check primality for RepUnits is used.
This method can easily be extended to search for circular primes of any size.
Note: There are no circular primes that begin with 9.
This is probably the most efficient method.
Let's assume we're checking all primes with a fixed number of digits (n), and we're starting at Rn. Without loss of generality, let's assume n = 6. Then our sequence is 111111 → 111113 → 111117 → 111119. From 111119, we go to 111133, since starting at 111131 would imply a rotation 111113 that is already covered. The unit digit can only be equal to the leading digit when all the digits are 1 (Rn), otherwise it is divisible by 3, 7, or 9.
To assure numbers that cannot be rotated into smaller numbers, whenever we're about to increment the last 9, from the unit's end, we add 2 to the digit before it (and skip over 5s) and concatenate the remaining digits from the beginning and increment the unit digit by 2. If the number before that is 9, we increment the first non-9 before that and concatenate the rest from the beginning (i.e., 191999 → 193999 → 193193 → 193197, with the two middle steps shown for comprehension).
Thus, we guarantee no smaller number on rotation.


Lot line adjustments and lot line splits are two distinct legal applications that involve a City and/or County for various reasons, and one should not be confused or conducted without first understanding the implications of each. This article is not intended to be an in-depth discussion of the Subdivision Map Act or the Subdivided Lands Law.
Lot Line Adjustments:
A lot line adjustment applies to four or fewer existing adjoining (abutting) parcels of land. The land is taken from one parcel and is legally added to an adjoining parcel. This procedure may be used in specified circumstances as a method for making minor revisions to property lines between two or more existing legal lots, and is not a procedure for subdividing existing property.
Generally speaking, this is a modification of a boundary line between adjacent legal parcels where the modification complies with statues wherein: 1) no new parcels are created, and no existing parcels are deleted; 2) no parcel is reduced below the minimum lot area required by the zoning in the particular County; 3) the proposed adjustment is exempt from the Subdivision Map Act, and no tentative map, final map or parcel map, shall be required as a condition to the approval of a lot line adjustment; and 4) the public rights-of-way are not altered without prior approval of the appropriate governmental body of benefit to the public.
A lot line adjustment may be used to create a lower amount of parcels, going from two to one for example, or retain the same number while altering their boundary lines. Regardless, no single lot can be created with lesser square footage than that allowed under the local zoning code. This process may not be used to increase the number of parcels, say from one to two.
California statute sets forth some of the necessities for lot line adjustments, but the appropriate locality will primarily control the ultimate guidelines via the zoning and applicable building codes. Planning departments will have applications available and describe the necessary fees involved. Please note that any fees submitted will not be refundable, even if your application is ultimately not approved. As mentioned, lot line adjustments are exempt from the California Subdivision Map Act discussed below.
The local planning department will request that either a civil engineer and/or land surveyor create a new legal description of each lot affected. The resulting parcels must conform to the zoning and building codes and any other additional requirements such as public utilities, infrastructure, and easements. Once you get through the process, a Certificate of Conformity will be issued, and is a necessity for several reasons. A Certificate of Compliance is basically to provide the property owner and subsequent purchasers with a record of the county's determination that a parcel was legally created. Such a certificate does not ensure that the property may be built upon, nor does it grant any rights to construction or other permits.
Lot Line Splits:
The above should not be confused with a lot split which is a separation of one Assessor's parcel into two or more, for Assessor's parcels needs, resulting in separate tax bills for each. Simply put, taking one large parcel of land and making several smaller ones. A lot line split is synonymous with subdividing, and requires the implementation of the Subdivision Map Act for five or more parcels created.
Subdivision Map Act:
The Subdivision Map Act requires one to obtain subdivision approval from the local government entity by anyone who offers to sell or lease any part of a "subdivision." The noncompliance of which may result in civil or criminal sanctions. As per California statute, a subdivision is defined as the division of any unit or units of improved or unimproved land, or any portion thereof, shown on the latest equalized county assessment roll as a unit or as contiguous units, for the purpose of sale, lease, or financing, whether immediate or future.
"The purpose of the Subdivision Map Act is to regulate and control design and improvement of subdivisions with proper consideration for their relation to adjoining areas; require subdividers to install streets and other improvements; prevent fraud and exploitation; and protect both the public and purchasers of subdivided lands." (Pratt v. Adams (1964) 229 Cal.App.2d 602.)
In short, the Subdivision Map Act codified is the approval process to subdivide land. Unless a specific exception or waiver applies, every subdivider must obtain city and/or county approval of a "map" depicting the proposed lots configuration and any exaction, (a requirement that specific improvements, payments, or other benefits to the public to help offset the impacts of the project)
Any subdivision which falls under the Subdivision Map Act must comply with the localities' general plan and the specific requirements outlined in the zoning code. Generally speaking, you will be required to file a final parcel or subdivision map. The Subdivision Map Act is required if the result will create five or more new parcels, condominium units, community apartment projects, or a stock cooperative, a tentative map is usually required first.
Upon reviewing a parcel/Plat map, if your parcel of land is represented by a dashed line, it was not created by a parcel map, tract map. In turn, it may have been created by a parcel map waiver or by deed, and it may, or may not, have already received a Certificate of Compliance. The only way to be sure whether or not a Certificate of Compliance has already been issued for such a parcel is to do a preliminary title search showing its existence, and other noted relevance to the subject property. The alternative would be to apply for your own Certificate of Compliance when applicable, which depending may or may not be granted depending on its creation.

From Liquipedia Starcraft 2 Wiki
Game Balance is a concept in game design describing the fairness and balance of power in a game between multiple strategic options.
 Game Balance In General
- Overpowered (often abbreviated to OP) - a unit or ability that is the best choice in a disproportionate number of situations (marginalising other choices) and/or excessively hard to counter by the opponent compared to the effort required to use it. For example, the 1 supply/2 armor/15hp regen Roach from early Beta was overpowered in many ZvT and ZvP scenarios.
- Gimps - a unit or ability that isn't viable to use in most situations. E.g. many considered the Scout from StarCraft 1 to be a gimp. This term is not frequently used in the SC community.
- Nerf - Making a strategy or unit weaker. For example, the Roach was nerfed when its supply count was increased from 1 to 2 in patch 12.
- Buff - Making a strategy or unit stronger. For example, the Roach was buffed when its range was increased by 1 in patch 1.1.2.
 Balance vs. Fairness
- Myth: If a player wins 50% of the time when playing against an equally skilled player, the game is balanced.
- Gimps and OP units don't necessarily affect the probability of victory. Consider a game similar to rock-paper-scissors that has one more option "pinky" which always loses when used. The game rock-paper-scissors-pinky is imbalanced because it has a "gimp". No player would ever use the "pinky". Rock-paper-scissors-pinky is a fair game but its units aren't well balanced.
- Myth: In an imbalanced game with players of exactly equal skill - one player will win more often when they choose the strategic path that is overpowered.
- For example take rock-paper-scissors-wand where wand beats rock and paper. Paper becomes a gimp because wand is superior in every scenario. Wand and scissors are OP (they win in 2 situations instead of 1). The resulting game is just rock-wand-scissors. Using wand as opposed to rock (which isn't OP) doesn't improve the chances of winning because it can be just as easily countered (by scissors).
- Myth: In a perfectly balanced game, players will make their strategic choices based on factors such as their personal preferences, playing strengths, or playing styles rather than on an inherent advantage in one option.
- In any strategic game, all choices should focus on strategic viability. If more than one viable option exists, only then should preference or style weigh in.
 Implications of Imbalance
In competitive gaming, overpowered strategies quickly become prevalent once discovered. Although the game may still be fair, it would become predictable and monotonous. This may leave a portion of the game content unplayed and therefore a waste of time for the players and developers as well.
 Challenges of Balancing
The evolution of strategy in a game over time makes it difficult to determine which strategic paths are inherently more powerful due to design flaws. Players may perform strategies that are considered unfairly powerful until other strategies are discovered that counter them or are considered even more powerful. Due to this fact, some people believe inherent game imbalances do not exist because they believe new strategies will always be discovered that provide counters or are more powerful than the existing ones. On the other hand, people may constantly think inherent game imbalances do exist because they do not believe other strategies will be discovered that provide counters or are more powerful than the current ones.
Some people believe that, regardless of design, discovering and utilizing the more powerful strategic paths are part of the skill in mastering a game. Therefore, they believe imbalances cannot exist because players who use strategies that are weaker, regardless of the reason, would be considered less skilled. Conversely, players who use the inherently stronger strategic paths, what people may believe to be the imbalanced strategies, would be considered the highly skilled players.
Some people believe imbalances cannot be determined, let alone fixed, until every single strategy in a game has been discovered and tested.
 Balance in StarCraft 2
 Parameters pertaining to balance in StarCraft II
- A race or strategy may be favored in a certain match-up on certain maps. For example maps with choke points favor ranged units and maps with cliffs near mineral lines favor drops.
- A spawning position may be favored over another. E.g. the map Scrap Station has different distances between the ramp and the spawn position. This can be critical in ZvZ early game as analyzed in this TL thread.
- Units and abilities - certain units and abilities may be gimps or OP.
- Tech trees - certain tech paths can ease transitions from one strategy to another.
Any change in one of these parameters may affect others. This is part of the complexity of balancing StarCraft II.

Its source is a Gaelic expression meaning "Hill."
Its Hindi form is derived from a Sanskrit expression meaning ''Star.'' Its European usage derives from a Gaelic place name meaning ''hill.''
The high kings of Ireland resided in a place called Tara in Meath, and it is safe to suppose that Margaret Mitchell had this in mind when she named the fictional home of Scarlett O'Hara in her 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. That book influenced the use of several names, including Ashley and Scarlett and Rhett.

To solve the problems of insufficient dry air coverage of the external dry air supply dehumidification system commonly used in the main cable of the suspension bridge, a new dehumidification system is proposed to dehumidify the main cable by delivering dry air from inside the main cable. The new dehumidification system changes the dry air delivery method of the traditional dehumidification system, and the dry air is delivered from the center of the main cable section, which can effectively solve insufficient dry air coverage in the main cable. Based on the 1560 m long-span suspension bridge of Longtan Yangtze River Bridge, the overall design of the new dehumidification system for the main cable is carried out. The composite air supply conduit is designed to meet the internal compressive strength requirements and adapt to the longitudinal deformation of the main cable. A dehumidification test is carried out to verify the feasibility of the new dehumidification system and evaluate its dehumidification effect. The results show that the composite air supply conduit composed of high-strength steel wire spring and corrugated pipe can withstand the radial compressive stress of 13.4 MPa and meet the compressive strength requirement inside the main cable. Therefore, it can be used as the dry air delivery conduit of the new dehumidification system for the main cable. The dry air of the new dehumidification system can achieve full coverage of the cross-section of the main cable, and the relative humidity of each position in the main cable can be reduced to below the critical humidity (RH = 60%) for the high-strength steel wire corrosion. That is, the entire main cable can be better protected against corrosion. Thus, the new dehumidification system can provide a new effective anti-corrosion measure for the main cable of the large-span suspension bridge.

diverse than some of the more exotic Race Packages that cost 30+ points.
GM's can alter Race Package Deals as they like, but as noted previously the intention is for players to not be able to alter Race Packages outside of any Option Lists or Pick Lists presented within the Packages themselves. Pick Lists within a Package are always selectable by players, but abilities from Option Lists might require GM approval. This section discusses the idea of Race Options Lists in more depth.
Option Lists are included for some Races in the material provided herein. Their primary purpose is to illustrate additional abilities that some, but not all, members of a particular Race might have. However, depending on your GM's vision of how a particular Race should be depicted they may or may not allow all abilities on Race Option lists. Seek your GM's input when selecting abilities from Race Option Lists.
Players that wish to expand their Character's Race Package by taking one or more abilities from these lists must decide to do so during initial Character Design.
Nature vs. Nurture
Because the depiction of the various "demi-human" groups varies somewhat from setting to setting and in fictional sources, some of the ancillary abilities sometimes attributed to the various common Fantasy Races were placed in Option Lists rather than in the Race Packages directly.
Additionally abilities that seemed more like "trained" or "learned" skills rather than innate attributes of a Race were also placed into the Option Lists.
Essentially, many of the Options provided allow the Race Package Deals for some Races to be expanded to also serve as de facto Cultural or Background Package Deals.
For instance, in some settings perhaps all members of a Race have these abilities innately, but in other settings or GM's games they must be learned as part of a Character's background, leading to variation among members of the same Race depending upon their training, or perhaps distinct bloodlines within the Race.
Portrait Of A Hill Dwarf
Take the Hill Dwarf Race Package as an example. The default version is priced at 10 Real Cost, with a number of the Dwarven Underground abilities shifted into the Dwarven Option List rather than taken as part of the Hill Dwarf Package, as these abilities may be learned rather than innate depending upon perspective.
In some campaigns the GM might agree with this assessment and allow individual Hill Dwarf Characters to purchase abilities from the Option List where appropriate for their backgrounds.
Other GM's may prefer that these abilities be considered innate and therefore included in the Hill Dwarf Race Package and modify the Race Package accordingly. This wont necessarily have a major impact on cost scaling either if the "Total Cost" method of Race Package use is in effect as other Disadvantages or penalties could be applied to keep the Package's cost manageable. An example of this is shown below.
Hill Dwarves
Hill Dwarves typically live either above ground in highland villages, or in Dwarven holdfasts near the surface, typically farming and/or maintaining livestock for sustenance. This kind of Dwarf is less common than Mountain Dwarves in most settings, but more often encountered because their steadings are not as remote or difficult to find. Hill Dwarves are typically taller and lither than their Mountain kin, and less dour in outlook.
NOTE: This variant of Hill Dwarves have innate Underground senses and abilities.
Cost Ability
5 Strong: +5 STR
6 Durable: +3 CON
6 Durable: +3 BODY
4 Stubborn +2 EGO
5 Doughty: Power Defense: 5
15 Magic Resistance: Damage Reduction 25% Resistant; Only vs Magic (-1)
7 Poison Resistance: Immunity to Poisons, Activation 14- (-1/2)
5 Infravision: Infrared Perception
6 Stalwart: +5 Mental Defense, +5 Power Defense, +5 PRE; Only to Resist Fear (-2)
2 Keen Senses: +1 PER with Normal Hearing and Normal Touch
1 Longevity: LS: 200 Years
1 Longevity: Double to LS: 400 Years

Value Disadvantages
-20 Normal Characteristic Maxima
-5 Distinctive Feature: Dwarf (Concealable w/ Magic, Noticed, Not Distinctive in Some Cultures)
-5 Physical Limitation: Short but Heavy (4 ft - 5 ft; 250 to 400 lbs)
-5 Psychological Limitation: Insular and Gruff (Uncommon, Moderate)
-2 Slow: -1" Running

-10 Psychological Limitation: Racial Enmity: Orc-kin (Uncommon, Strong)
-10 Psychological Limitation: Racial Enmity: Giant-kin (Uncommon, Strong)
-10 Psychological Limitation: Gold lust & Greed (Common, Moderate)
Total Cost of Package
In the Race Packages provided herein it is intended that Characteristic adjustments in the Race Package Deals be applied after Normal Characteristic Maxima is determined. This is true of both bonuses and penalties. In this fashion an effective Altered Characteristic Maxima is achieved.
EXAMPLE: The stock package given for Hairfoot Halflings grants a +1 Speed, +2 DEX, -5 STR, -2 BODY, -2 INT, -5 PRE as part of the Race Package Deal. If a Hairfoot Halfling Character purchases +10 DEX and +10 STR outside of their Package they do not encounter Characteristic Maxima having neither DEX or STR above 20.
After NCM is determined the Race Characteristic modifiers are applied, resulting in an adjusted DEX of 22 and an adjusted STR of 15.
NOTE: This is a variation from the recommended method of handling Characteristic Bonuses in 5th Edition Fantasy HERO.
The Alternate NCM Template File Maker for HERO Designer v3 is provided to assist users of the software to create a file with the necessary content to instruct HERO Designer that a Character has base and max Characteristics different than the assumed norms.
Instructions are provided on the tools use. It's really quite easy to do, and only takes a few minutes. However, if you experience difficulties using it email Killer Shrike with any questions and you will be given reasonably timely assistance (within a day or two typically).
Characteristic bonuses from all other (non-Race) Package Deals do count against Characteristic Maxima. This may require such a Package to be refactored if a Character is already at or near their Characteristic Maxima when they take the non-Race Package. In all cases where possible take the number of Character points spent on the Characteristic in the Package Deal, and buy that many points worth of Characteristic at the increased price.
It is perfectly acceptable to not use the method of handling Race Packages offered by this site. A GM could opt for a standard Fantasy HERO implementation of Race Packages, use the Race Packages from Fantasy HERO for 5th Edition, The Turakian Age, or some other source.
The remaining material contained by this site is still generally usable even in this scenario, though some assumptions regarding starting point totals and the pricing of other Packages might need to be examined on a case by case basis.
More unusually a GM might decide to not use Race Packages at all. My personal recommendation is to reconsider this position, but theoretically this is doable. In my experience without some kind of consistent definition of what constitutes a particular Race, odd inconsistencies arise during play.
Also, for some players, Characters can seem to lose a good deal of the flavor of being members of various Races in such an environment. Since there is no real definition of what it means to be a member of a particular Race there also tends to be a very large skew between individual player's interpretations of what a Race is composed of mechanically.
As far as eschewing Race Package Deals altogether and using the material on this web site is concerned, there is a strong assumption that Race Packages will be used and in many ways the Race Package concept forms the foundation of the stackable Package material. Most tellingly, a good deal of material references or implies or proceeds on the assumption that every Character must have one and only one Race Package Deal when they are created.
Thus some of the material might need to be reevaluated on a case by case basis from the perspective of a campaign with no Race Packages whatsoever.
HERO System 5th Edition Changes To Package Deals
The following is just an open discourse on the subject of the Race Packages presented on this site and can be ignored by most readers.
Many of the Race Packages provided on this site were migrated from HERO System 4th Edition Packages. Several changes were made in then HERO System 5th Edition which impacted the methodology used in their original design under 4th Edition rules.
All of the older Race Package Deals from earlier iterations of this web site have been updated to be HERO System 5th Edition compliant (except as regards Distinctive Features, see below). The primary changes were the removal of the 4th Edition altered Characteristic Maxima and Package Bonuses, and the removal of Shrinking Always On, Density Increase Always On, and Growth Always On in exchange for Physical Limitations for Races of unusual size.
 1. Package Deals no longer give Package Bonuses.
 2. Normal Characteristic Max

A common and widespread species usually found on alder trees but it also occurs on other dying deciduous trees too.
Alder Bracket: tough as old boots - Bracket fungi always emerge from tree branches and trunks. Many look very similar, however, and it can be difficult identifying them. One of the first steps to idenfication in this case is to look at what sort of tree it is on. You can actually find the alder bracket (Inonotus radiatus) on various dead broadleaved tree trunks whilst the trunks are still standing; however, as the common name would suggest, you are especially likely to find it on alder trees.
The fungus not only produces these bracket fruiting bodies but also appears on the surface as a white flakey rot. Alder bracket can be active in living trees but its presence will surely kill the tree eventually at which point it starts to rot down and decay the timber and the white rot is a sign this is happeneing.
This is a common and widespread species but not edible unless you like old boots!

|Scientific Name||Inonotus radiatus|

Degenerated oligo synthesis - mixed bases
Standard "wobbles" or "mixed bases" are mixtures of two or more different bases at a given position within the sequence. Wobbles are often incorporated into oligonucleotide probes designed to hybridize to an unknown gene that encodes a known amino acid sequence. Since the genetic code is degenerate, the probe is prepared with wobbles at the degenerate sites.
The use of mixed base additions in the design of a degenerated oligo is optimal when the number of degenerate sites are small. The wobbles, except for the ones at the 3'-site are synthesized with no extra costs.
Use the standard code letters for equally mixed base ratios in your sequence to incorporate a wobble into your oligo.
Standard code letters:
|R = A/G||Y = C/T|
|M = A/C||K = G/T|
|S = C/G||W = A/T|
|B = C/G/T||D = A/G/T|
|H = A/C/T||V = A/C/G|
|N = A/C/G/T||I = Inosin|

Prerequisites for deployment and the test method
In this example, three physical machines are used for deployment, each with 16 CPU cores and 32 GB of memory. On each machine (node), one TiDB instance, one TiKV instance, and one PD instance are deployed in a hybrid way.
Because PD and TiKV both store information on the disk, the read and write latency of disk directly affects the latency of the PD and TiKV services. To avoid the situation that PD and TiKV compete for disk resources and affect each other, it is recommended to use different disks for PD and TiKV.
In this example, the TPC-C 5000 Warehouse data is used in TiUP bench and the test lasts 12 hours with the terminals parameter set to 128 (concurrency). Close attention is paid to metrics related to performance stability of the cluster.
The image below shows the QPS monitor of the cluster within 12 hours with the default parameter configuration. From the image, you can see an obvious performance jitter.
QPS with default config
After the parameter adjustment, the performance is improved.
QPS with modified config
Parameter adjustment
Performance jitter occurs in the image above, because the default thread pool configuration and the resource allocation to background tasks are for machines with sufficient resources. In the hybrid deployment scenario, the resources are shared among multiple components, so you need to limit the resource consumption via configuration parameters.
The final cluster configuration for this test is as follows:
 readpool.unified.max-thread-count: 6
 server.grpc-concurrency: 2
 storage.scheduler-worker-pool-size: 2
 gc.max-write-bytes-per-sec: 300K
 rocksdb.max-background-jobs: 3
 rocksdb.max-sub-compactions: 1
 rocksdb.rate-bytes-per-sec: "200M"
 performance.committer-concurrency: 4
 performance.max-procs: 8
The following sections introduce the meanings and the adjustment methods of these parameters.
Configuration of TiKV thread pool size
This section offers best practices for adjusting parameters that relate to the resource allocation of thread pools for foreground applications. Reducing these thread pool sizes will compromise performance, but in the hybrid deployment scenario with limited resources, the cluster itself is hard to achieve high performance. In this scenario, the overall stability of the cluster is preferred over performance.
If you conduct an actual load test, you can first use the default configuration and observe the actual resource usage of each thread pool. Then you can adjust the corresponding configuration items and reduce the sizes of the thread pools that have lower usage.
The default value of this parameter is 80% of the number of machine threads. In a hybrid deployment scenario, you need to manually calculate and specify this value. You can first set it to 80% of the expected number of CPU threads used by TiKV.
This parameter defaults to 4. Because in the existing deployment plan, the CPU resources are limited and the actual requests are few. You can observe the monitoring panel, lower the value of this parameter, and keep the usage rate below 80%.
In this test, the value of this parameter is set to 2. Observe the gRPC poll CPU panel and you can see that the usage rate is just around 80%.
When TiKV detects that the CPU core number of the machine is greater than or equal to 16, this parameter value defaults to 8. When the CPU core number is smaller than 16, the parameter value defaults to 4. This parameter is used when TiKV converts complex transaction requests to simple key-value reads or writes, but the scheduler thread pool does not performs any writes.
Ideally, the usage rate of the scheduler thread pool is kept between 50% and 75%. Similar to the gRPC thread pool, the storage.scheduler-worker-pool-size parameter defaults to a larger value during the hybrid deployment, which makes resource usage insufficient. In this test, the value of this parameter is set to 2, which is in line with the best practices, a conclusion drawn by observing the corresponding metrics in the Scheduler worker CPU panel.
Scheduler Worker CPU
Resource configuration for TiKV background tasks
In addition to foreground tasks, TiKV regularly sorts data and cleans outdated data in background tasks. The default configuration allocates sufficient resources to these tasks for the scenario of high-traffic writes.
However, in the hybrid deployment scenario, this default configuration is not in line with the best practices. You need to limit the resource usage of background tasks by adjusting the following parameters.
rocksdb.max-background-jobs and rocksdb.max-sub-compactions
The RocksDB thread pool is used to perform compaction and flush jobs. The default value of rocksdb.max-background-jobs is 8, which obviously exceeds the resource that is in need. Therefore, the value should be adjusted to limit the resource usage.
rocksdb.max-sub-compactions indicates the number of concurrent sub-tasks allowed for a single compaction job, which defaults to 3. You can lower this value when the write traffic is not high.
In the test, the rocksdb.max-background-jobs value is set to 3 and the rocksdb.max-sub-compactions value is set to 1. No write stall occurs during the 12-hour test with the TPC-C load. When optimizing the two parameter values according to the actual load, you can lower the values gradually based on monitoring metrics:
 - If write stall occurs, increase the value of rocksdb.max-background-jobs.
 - If the write stall persists, set the value of rocksdb.max-sub-compactions to 2 or 3.
This parameter is used to limit the disk traffic for the background compaction jobs. The default configuration has no limit for this parameter. To avoid the situation that compaction jobs occupy the resources of foreground services, you can adjust this parameter value according to the sequential read and write speed of the disk, which reserves enough disk bandwidth for foreground services.
The method of optimizing the RocksDB thread pool is similar to that of optimizing the compaction thread pool. You can determine whether the value you have adjusted is suitable according to whether write stall occurs.
Because TiDB uses the multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) model, TiKV periodically cleans old version data in the background. When the available resources are limited, this operation causes periodical performance jitter. You can use the gc.max_write_bytes_per_sec parameter to limit the resource usage of such an operation.
GC Impact
In addition to setting this parameter value in the configuration file, you can also dynamically adjust this value in tikv-ctl.
tiup ctl tikv --host=${ip:port} modify-tikv-config -n gc.max_write_bytes_per_sec -v ${limit}
In application scenarios with frequent updates, limiting GC traffic might cause the MVCC versions to pile up and affect read performance. Currently, to achieve a balance between performance jitter and performance decrease, you might need to try multiple times to adjust the value of this parameter.
TiDB parameter adjustment
Generally, you can adjust the TiDB parameters of execution operators using system variables such as tidb_hash_join_concurrency and tidb_index_lookup_join_concurrency.
In this test, these parameters are not adjusted. In the load test of your actual application, if the execution operators consume an excessive amount of CPU resources, you can limit the resource usage of specific operators according to your application scenario. For more details, see TiDB system variables.
This parameter is used to control how many CPU cores an entire Go process can use. By default, the value is equal to the number of CPU cores of the current machine or cgroups.
When Go is running, a proportion of threads is used for background tasks such as GC. If you do not limit the value of the performance.max-procs parameter, these background tasks will consume too much CPU.

Croatia has introduced a number of reforms to contain pharmaceutical expenditure whilst increasing access to new medicines. These include new regulations and new ordinances in 2013 including the pricing of new medicines and lowering the price of generics. Describe changes in the 2013 ordinance for new and established medicines in Croatia and the potential savings to provide future guidance. Methods: Descriptive review of the new ordinances for pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceuticals and calculations of potential savings from the various initiatives. There were changes in the ordinance for the pricing of new medicines in Croatia including the order of reference priced countries. There were also changes in the pricing of biosimilars as well as comparator levels with other countries. Projections show that with the new ordinance, ambulatory care expenditure for the 54 product groups (internal reference price system) will be reduced by 9.64% (318.4 million kunas) and prices of new medicines lowered by 8 to 10% following changes in the order of referenced price countries. This paper demonstrates that changes in the reference pricing system can lead to considerable differences in overall reimbursed expenditure. In addition, European countries with smaller populations can be active with introducing a variety of measures to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control whilst increasing access to new medicines. Further reforms will be needed to improve the quality of prescribing. It is also likely further ordinances will be needed to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control.

How to Teach Structured Academic Controversy
I was recently introduced to Deliberating in a Democracy in the Americas (DDA), a valuable online resource for teachers interested in helping their students develop skills in discussing controversial topics. It uses the Structured Academic Controversy (SAC) model, developed by David and Roger Johnson of the University of Minnesota to provide structure and focus to classroom discussions. Not all issues can be easily debated as pro / con positions. SAC provides students with a framework for addressing complex issues in a productive manner that builds their skills in reading, analyzing, listening, and discussion. It shifts the goal from "winning" the argument to active listening to opposing viewpoints and distilling areas of agreement. It's a prime skill for civic participation and in alignment with Common Core close reading skills
The DDA site has all the material teachers will need to support discussion in 15 interesting deliberation questions including:
- Should our democracy allow schools to punish students for off-campus cyberbullying?
- In our democracy, should violent juvenile offenders be punished as adults?
- Should all citizens in our democracy participate in one year of mandatory national service?
- Should our democracy permit the cultivation of genetically modified foods?
The site includes well-documented background readings in English and Spanish with audio versions of each. And it provides links to additional online resources and a glossary of important terms for each question. It also includes a poll on the website where students can vote and see how other students have voted.
DDA details the SAC process as follows:
- Introduction. Teachers review the meaning of deliberation, the reasons for deliberating, and the rules for deliberation.
- Careful Reading of the Text. Students read the text individually, in small groups of 4 or as a whole class in order to reach a common understanding of the reading. If students do not understand the reading, the deliberation will not be successful. As a whole class or in their small groups, students agree on at least three interesting facts and/or ideas.
- Clarification. After checking for understanding of the terms and content, the teacher makes sure students understand the deliberation question.
- Presentation of Positions. Students work in small groups of 4 divided into pairs (A & B). Each pair is assigned a position. The position of the A's is to find at least two compelling reasons to say YES to the deliberation question. The position of the B's is to find at least two compelling reasons to say NO to the deliberation question. A's teach B's at least two reasons to say YES to the deliberation question. B's teach A's at least two reasons to say NO to the deliberation question. (Handout #2)
- Reversal of Positions. The pairs reverse positions. The B pair now adopts the position to say YES to the deliberation question; the A pair adopts the position to say NO to the deliberation question. The A's & B's should select the best reason they heard from the other pair and add at least one additional compelling reason from the reading to support their new position.
- Free Discussion. Students drop their assigned roles and deliberate the question in their small groups. Each student reaches a personal decision based on evidence and logic.
- Whole Class Debrief. The teacher leads the whole class in a discussion to gain a deeper understanding of the question, democracy, and deliberation. What were the most compelling reasons for each side? What were the areas of agreement? What questions do you still have? Where can you get more information? What is your position? (Poll the class on the deliberation question.) In what ways, if any, did your position change? Is there an alternative policy that might address the problem more effectively? What, if anything, might you or your class do to address this problem?
- Student Reflection. Students complete the reflection form either at the end of class or for homework.

Wellness Trend -- Reminiscence
I'm at the ICAA Conference in San Diego today (speaking in about 2 hours). I'm going to talk about how wellness impacts ALL dimensions of wellness. With wellness directors especially looking for ways to address emotional and spiritual wellness in wellness programming, it is key to know that capturing life stories and bringing people together in GROUPS to share memories and experiences is a very powerful idea.
Reminiscence: An innovative wellness and health care approach
Reminiscence has been found to lower depression, improve attitudes of people toward caregivers, and increase self esteem. That's why health care companies and hospitals are taking notice of LifeBio's innovative reminiscence programming for individuals and communities. This is cognitive fitness at its finest without all the expense of other brain fitness programs.
4 reasons to incorporate autobiography in your brain fitness program for retirement communities
Brain fitness is a key focus for senior living communities, but providing cognitive challenges is much more than crossword puzzles and trivia. It doesn't have to just be using a computer program. Today, brain fitness programs should incorporate autobiography programming for these 4 reasons.


tail
The in_tail Input plugin allows Fluentd to read events from the tail of text files. Its behavior is similar to the tail -F command.
Example Configuration
in_tail is included in Fluentd's core. No additional installation process is required.
<source>
@type tail
path /var/log/httpd-access.log
pos_file /var/log/td-agent/httpd-access.log.pos
tag apache.access
<parse>
@type apache2
</parse>
</source>
Please see the Config File article for the basic structure and syntax of the configuration file. For <parse> section, please check Parse section cofiguration.
How it Works
When Fluentd is first configured with in_tail, it will start reading from the tail of that log, not the beginning. Once the log is rotated, Fluentd starts reading the new file from the beginning. It keeps track of the current inode number.
If td-agent restarts, it starts reading from the last position td-agent read before the restart. This position is recorded in the position file specified by the pos_file parameter.
Plugin helpers
Parameters
Common Parameters
@type (required)
The value must be tail.
tag
type
default
version
string
required parameter
0.14.0
The tag of the event.
* can be used as a placeholder that expands to the actual file path, replacing '/' with '.'. For example, if you have the following configuration
path /path/to/file
tag foo.*
in_tail emits the parsed events with the 'foo.path.to.file' tag.
path
type
default
version
string
required parameter
0.14.0
The paths to read. Multiple paths can be specified, separated by ','.
* and strftime format can be included to add/remove watch file dynamically. At interval of refresh_interval, Fluentd refreshes the list of watch file.
path /path/to/%Y/%m/%d/*
For multiple paths:
path /path/to/a/*,/path/to/b/c.log
If the date is 20140401, Fluentd starts to watch the files in /path/to/2014/04/01 directory. See also read_from_head parameter.
You should not use * with log rotation because it may cause the log duplication. In such case, you should separate in_tail plugin configuration.
path_timezone
type
default
version
string
nil
1.8.1
This parameter is for strftime formatted path like /path/to/%Y/%m/%d/.
in_tail uses system timezone by default. This parameter changes it.
path_timezone "+00"
For timezone format, see timezone section in this artilce.
exclude_path
type
default
version
array
[] (empty)
0.14.0
The paths to exclude the files from watcher list. For example, if you want to remove compressed files, you can use following pattern.
path /path/to/*
exclude_path ["/path/to/*.gz", "/path/to/*.zip"]
exclude_path takes its input as an array, unlike 'path' which takes it as a string.
refresh_interval
type
default
version
time
60 (seconds)
0.14.0
The interval of refreshing the list of watch file. This is used when path includes *.
limit_recently_modified
type
default
version
time
nil (disabled)
0.14.13
Limit the watching files that the modification time is within the specified time range when use * in path parameter.
skip_refresh_on_startup
type
default
version
bool
false
0.14.13
Skip the refresh of watching list on startup. This reduces the start up time when use * in path.
read_from_head
type
default
version
bool
false
0.14.0
Start to read the logs from the head of file, not bottom.
If you want to tail all contents with * or strftime dynamic path, set this parameter to true. Instead, you should guarantee that log rotation will not occur in * directory.
When this is true, in_tail tries to read a file during start up phase. If target file is large, it takes long time and starting other plugins isn't executed until reading file is finished.
encoding, from_encoding
type
default
version
string
nil (string encoding is ASCII-8BIT)
0.14.0
Specify the encoding of reading lines.
By default, in_tail emits string value as ASCII-8BIT encoding. These options change it.
 - If specify only encoding, in_tail changes string to encoding.
 This uses ruby's String#force_encoding
 - If specify encoding and from_encoding, in_tail tries to encode string from from_encoding to encoding.
 This uses ruby's String#encode
You can get supported encoding list by typing following command:
$ ruby -e 'p Encoding.name_list.sort'
read_lines_limit
type
default
version
integer
1000
0.14.0
The number of reading lines at each IO.
If you see "chunk bytes limit exceeds for an emitted event stream" log with in_tail, set smaller value.
multiline_flush_interval
type
default
version
time
nil (disabled)
0.14.0
The interval of flushing the buffer for multiline format.
If you set multiline_flush_interval 5s, in_tail flushes buffered event after 5 seconds from last emit. This option is useful when you use format_firstline option.
type
default
version
string
nil
0.14.0
This parameter is highly recommended. Fluentd will record the position it last read into this file.
pos_file /var/log/td-agent/tmp/access.log.pos
pos_file handles multiple positions in one file so no need multiple pos_file parameters per source.
Don't share pos_file between in_tail configurations. It causes unexpected behavior, e.g. corrupt pos_file content.
in_tail removes untracked file position during startup phase. It means the content of pos_file is growing until restart when you tails lots of files with dynamic path setting. I will fix this problem in the future. Check this issue.
pos_file_compaction_interval
type
default
version
time
nil
1.9.2
The interval of doing compaction of pos file. The targets of compaction are unwatch file's line, unparsable file's line and duplicated line. You can use this value when pos_file option is set.
pos_file /var/log/td-agent/tmp/access.log.pos
pos_file_compaction_interval 72h
<parse> directive (required)
The format of the log. in_tail uses parser plugin to parse the log. See parser article for more detail.
Here are several examples:
# json
<parse>
@type json
</parse>
# regexp
<parse>
@type regexp
expression ^(?<name>[^ ]*) (?<user>[^ ]*) (?<age>\d*)$
</parse>
If @type contains multiline, in_tail works as multiline mode.
format
Deprecated parameter. Use <parse> instead.
path_key
type
default
version
string
nil (no assign)
0.14.0
Add watching file path to path_key field.
path /path/to/access.log
path_key tailed_path
With this config, generated events are like {"tailed_path":"/path/to/access.log","k1":"v1",...,"kN":"vN"}.
rotate_wait
type
default
version
time
5 (seconds)
0.14.0
in_tail actually does a bit more than tail -F itself. When rotating a file, some data may still need to be written to the old file as opposed to the new one.
in_tail takes care of this by keeping a reference to the old file (even after it has been rotated) for some time before transitioning completely to the new file. This helps prevent data designated for the old file from getting lost. By default, this time interval is 5 seconds.
The rotate_wait parameter accepts a single integer representing the number of seconds you want this time interval to be.
enable_watch_timer
type
default
version
bool
true
0.14.0
Enable the additional watch timer. Setting this parameter to false will significantly reduce CPU and I/O consumption when tailing a large number of files on systems with inotify support. The default is true which results in an additional 1 second timer being used.
in_tail (via Cool.io) uses inotify on systems which support it. Earlier versions of libev on some platforms (eg Mac OS X) did not work properly; therefore, an explicit 1 second timer was used. Even on systems with inotify support, this results in additional I/O each second, for every file being tailed.
Early testing demonstrates that modern Cool.io and in_tail work properly without the additional watch timer. At some point in the future, depending on feedback and testing, the additional watch timer may be disabled by default.
enable_stat_watch

REQUEST:
I'm trying to determine if NELAC requires that the weight sets used to verify balances prior to use MUST be Class 1.
TNI FINAL RESPONSE:
(Quality System Expert Committee/NELAP Accreditation Council, 3-x-11)
A laboratory may use any class to verify the balance if the weights are traceable to a national standard.
A Class 1 (or "S") weight is normally considered a reference standard, but may be used as a working standard. If the laboratory has designated the weight as a reference standard, the weight may only be used for calibration (i.e. calibrating/checking working standards).
Standards that are used for daily calibrations (5.5.5.2.1) must be traceable to NIST. The Class1 or �S� weights can be used to verify the working standards, since these are traceable to NIST.

Design of Mapwindow Plug-In to estimate water irrigation requirement: Application at Sampean Baru Water Irrigation District
MetadataShow full item record
Thee research focuses on the design of simple water requirement program. The tool was design as Plug-In that run on the top of Mapwindow GIS. The Plug-In was developed to predict and to schematized water requiement for Water-Irrigation-Districts (WID). The Plug-In was applied at Sampean Baru Water Irrigation District, in East Java Province. Research method include: (1) survey, (2) design software, and (3) implementation on the water irrigation district. Survey was conducted to collect hydro-meteorological data and irrigation water demand at Irrigation District. The Visual Basic.Net was used to: design program, calculate water demand, and predict water availability and water allocation. Water allocation was scheduled based on ten (10) days interval. Potential Evapotranspiration (ETo) was calculated using meteorological data by means of Penman-Monteith Equation. Water availability was predicted from rainfall and observed discharge data. The result show that, the Plug-In perform it capability to predict: water availability, water demand and recommendation of water allocation for Sampean Baru WID. Furthermore, plug-In interface is design based on MapWindowGIS, that can be further developed and integrated with spatial database of water irrigation district.

Students may have been wondering why there are tags hanging on trees. Suzanna Scott, professor of New Century College's Art, Beauty, and Culture course, and Lynne Constantine, professor of The School of Art's Aesthetics course, decided to bring the Wish Tree Project to the George Mason campus as part of their curriculum.
For those who don't know, Yoko Ono originally started The Wish Tree Project in 1996. Scott says, "People participate in the work by writing their personal wishes for peace on white shipping tags and tying the wishes to a tree branch." This project was started on the George Mason Campus on October 1st and will end on October 18th.
When asked why the project would end, Constantine replied, "In a way, the very fleetingness of the tree's presence here is important. Any longer, and it would simply become part of the landscape. This way, both its appearance and its disappearance are events, opportunities for paying attention."
Once the wishes are taken down on the 18th, they will be shipped to Reykjavik, Iceland where Yoko Ono is collecting all the wishes and building a memorial for her late husband, John Lennon.
Both Constantine and Scott were eager to bring this project on campus in order to inspire their students to work together in order to learn more about the origin of this project.
Scotts says, "They are learning what it is like to be part of something larger than themselves and their individual projects. Their goal is not only to inspire their own students, but also to inspire the George Mason student body."
Constantine says, "Several times when I've passed the tree, I've seen students and other passers-by who are not in Suzanne's or my classes reading the tags or taking pictures of the tree with their phones. If the idea of a network of people wishing for peace comes into their consciousness for even that brief minute, I feel satisfied with that."
The Wish Tree Project is a national and international symbol of the future. It collects people's wishes and hopes for a better world. By bringing this project to our school, both Scott and Constantine are allowing their students to be part of a project that connects them with people all over the world. Their wishes will be put in a memorial with the wishes of people from all different walks of life. Scotts says that one of the most valuable parts of this project is that it can be replicated.
She says, "So perhaps we may see more Wish Trees appear on campus in the future."

Chekov's The Seagull
On 4th October Year 13 Drama and Theatre Studies students went to see a production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. The students are studying the play and found the National Theatre's interpretation to be visually stunning. The set design design was incredible; a real lake and stream were used to depict the necessary realistic style which Chekhov intended. The play merged elements of romantic and naturalistic theatre to create a dazzling effect. The students were inspired by the play in terms of staging and design. Prior to the tragic, climactic ending depicting Konstantin's suicide, the atmosphere was palpable. It was fantastic for the students to see this classic play interpreted in such a unique way.
