Three types of online appointment schedules: which one should I choose?
The first choice to make when setting up your new SuperSaaS schedule is which type of online appointment schedule you will select when you click on the New Schedule page. SuperSaaS offers three types of schedule to cater for different uses, situations or businesses.
The three schedule types are known as the Capacity schedule, Resource schedule, and Service schedule. In some ways, they overlap in what they can do, and for some applications more than one will work. You will get the best experience if you know which schedule type is appropriate for your situation.
Use a Capacity schedule for group events
How many people should be able to sign up for your event? If the answer is more than one, then it is likely that a capacity schedule will be most suitable.
Examples of group events where a capacity schedule would work best:
- Students signing up for a class
- Attendees registering for a conference or workshop
Examples of situations where a capacity schedule would not work so well and a resource schedule or service schedule should be used instead:
- Making an appointment with a consultant (only one user at a time)
- A spa with multiple therapists (clients book simultaneous appointments, but not with the same therapist)
- A boat rental service with multiple boats (people will want to rent at different times)
The Resource schedule works well in most other cases
The distinction between a resource schedule and service schedule lies primarily in the booking process. A resource schedule is organized around individual people or objects. Resources can be consultants, teachers, boats, meeting rooms, or other items that can only be used for single bookings. In other words, the resource can be booked once for a particular time slot. The schedule shows the resource's availability and the user picks an available spot.
By comparison, a service schedule can be used for offering services in which more than one resource may be selected. The user first has to select a service (e.g. a lesson, a ride, a haircut). After selecting a service, the schedule will show all the spots that have the resources (specific teachers, riding instructors or hair stylists) available that are needed for that service.
We recommend that you start with a resource schedule. A resource schedule will work in most scenarios, although sometimes a service-oriented process will fit better. The resource schedule should contain all the scarce resources that are involved in the booking process. For example, scarce resources could be therapists, rooms, boats, pool tables, etc. If you are setting up a calendar to allow people to schedule an appointment with you, then you would be the scarce resource.
Don't include resources that are not limited or will easily be available for each booking. For example, if an appointment needs a meeting room, but there's always a meeting room available, there is no point in including it.
The Service schedule has a few unique abilities
The service schedule's main benefit is that it can take into account the availability of resources in other schedules. If your service depends on a number of resources being available, the service schedule checks when all the required resources (objects and/or people) are available so that the user can make a booking. Note that where the resource schedule allows users to create appointments of arbitrary length and/or create repeating appointments, the service schedule lacks such ability.
Examples of where a service schedule would be needed:
- Multiple resources are required for one booking. For example: a booking for a treatment requires that both a room and a therapist are available.
- Different services require different resources. For example: a certain treatment can only be performed by one specific doctor.
To define a service that uses multiple resources, you first need to define those resources in a resource schedule.
Combining several schedules
If your service schedule is linked to multiple resource schedules, you combine the various calendars to solve more complex booking needs.
For example, a wellness spa may have two therapists and each one can provide specific treatments in specific rooms. You can specify that a service needs "Therapist 1" Or "Therapist 2" And "Room 1". It is not necessary for Therapist 1 and Therapist 2 to be in the same schedule, therefore making it possible that each Therapist can sync their own Google Calendar availability. For more advanced applications see the chapter on combining schedules.
Which schedule type works best for your needs?
Since you can create and delete as many schedules as you like, there is no harm in trying out several types and discarding unused ones later on. Everything but the schedule's type can be changed afterwards. You can try an example of each schedule type in the demo section. You might also find the tutorials for the different types helpful.
|Use case||Schedule type|
|Students signing up for classes||Capacity|
|Participants signing up for an event||Capacity|
|Employees booking meeting rooms||Resource|
|Users selecting the length of appointments||Resource|
|Showing availability for your bed & breakfast||Resource|
|Booking both a projector and a room||Service|
|Illustrating each service with pictures||Service|
|Combining and linking several schedules||Service|
The SuperSaaS system offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to configuring your reservation process. Here are four tips for configuring your schedule for specific requirements.
On a resource and a service schedule, your users can create a reservation anywhere, except where you tell them not to. In other words, by default, the entire schedule is available for bookings, unless you block a spot. On a capacity schedule, it is the other way around: users can only book where you have created an available slot. If you want people to select from just a few available dates, then you could use a capacity schedule with a maximum of 1 per slot instead. This may be easier than blocking off all unavailable dates on a resource or service schedule.
Stand-alone service schedule
You can define a service that is not connected to any resource. If there are no resource requirements, in theory an unlimited number of appointments can be made at the same time, which is rarely useful. For this reason the service schedule can be configured to prohibit overlapping appointments, in effect acting as a resource schedule with a single resource. This provides a convenient shortcut if you have a single resource and want to use the service schedule, for example because its calendar format works better for your purpose.
Pooled resources, presented as a single entity
A service schedule can be used to present a group of resources as a single entity. This is useful, for example, if you have 20 identical pieces of equipment for rent and you don't want the customer to select a particular one. You have the option to give out equipment randomly, or indicate an order and give out the first one available. You can find a detailed explanation on the page about combining schedules.
Single resource, presented as multiple entities
Conversely, two or more service schedules can be used to represent a single resource as different entities. An example is where one schedule shows to members of a club and another to walk-in customers. Members could be allowed to book at a lower price or longer in advance than regular customers. Another example would be for a consultant who works for different clients across multiple locations. She can provide each location with a schedule tailored to that particular client, while still ensuring she does not get double booked.

Since 1919, the National Weather Service has take measurements from the castle's tower with the aid of scientific instruments that measure wind speed and direction. In a fenced-in compound just south of the castle, other data such as the rainfall is recorded and sent to the weather service's forecast office at Brookhaven National Library on Long Island.
Before it was equipped with meteorological equipment, Belvedere Castle was a Victorian folly. Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park, created the miniature castle in 1869 as one of its many whimsical structures intended as a lookout to the reservoir to the north (now the Great Lawn) and the Ramble to the south.
After decades of deterioration, the Central Park Conservancy renovated and reopened the castle in 1983.


Is there sound coming from the Sun? (Beginner)
Hello, I am an amateur astronomer. I also enjoy working with sound and harmonic ratios. My question is, does sound emanate from the sun? Would such a sound wave create nodes that would allow for a planet's distance from the sun?
There are definitely some sound waves propagating through the Sun's interior. Because of the composition of the Sun (basically, a big ball of gas), sound waves can propagate quite easily in it. The study of such waves is called helioseismology. By observing oscillations at the surface of the Sun, astronomers try to figure out the patterns of the waves inside, which tells them a lot about the internal structure of the Sun (the same can be applied to other stars as well).
However, this doesn't mean that there is some sound coming from the Sun! Unlike light waves, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum: they need a medium in which they can travel. So since space is very close to empty, sound waves cannot propagate.

The Henry Sweet Society for the History of Linguistic Ideas has awarded Dr. Rebeca Fernández Rodríguez and PhD student Anna Pytlowany (whose supervisors are Decaan Fred Weerman and Prof. Otto Zwartjes) the Martin Burr grant for the online reconstruction of Reland's dispersed manuscripts collection to visualise his broad linguistic interests.
The Martin Burr grant supports any form of activity which brings together language and history and allows them to be enjoyed by a non-academic audience.
The name of Adriaan Reland (_PHONE_) is instantly associated with his major works on Hebrew Antiquities, Islam, and Oriental languages. However, due to his premature death and the fact that only a fraction of his correspondence survived, little is known about the people and books that influenced his intellectual life.
On February 5, 2018, 300 years after his death, a colloquium at the Utrecht University was organised to commemorate Reland's life and work, accompanied by an exhibition of Reland's books, maps, and manuscripts from the Netherlands.

CMU to introduce a cloud lab in the fall of 2022
A new member will be joining Carnegie Mellon's campus in the fall of 2022, along with the incoming first-year class. This member is coming with plenty of money and high expectations, not unlike some other incoming first-years. And not unlike this year's graduating class, this member will heavily rely upon remote participation.
This is not a new student, but rather a new fixture to the Carnegie Mellon campus.
On Aug. 31, Carnegie Mellon partnered with the Emerald Cloud Lab (ECL), a San Francisco-based biotechnology startup, to create the first cloud lab on campus. The partnership was formed shortly after the university received a $150 million grant from the philanthropic Richard King Mellon Foundation during the summer.
As of now, the construction of the lab near Bakery Square is set to begin this semester and is expected to conclude in the latter half of 2022.
Cloud labs are an emerging form of technology that allows researchers to conduct experiments remotely, gaining much popularity during the pandemic. Using cloud labs, researchers are able to simulate hands-on environments and take advantage of flexible, scientific infrastructure. So far, these laboratories have specialized in artificial intelligence research — past experiments have ranged between the topics of cybersecurity and machine learning.
However, ECL is keen upon bringing the life sciences into this new form of lab work. According to their company website, their past endeavors have included applications to many different biotechnology-related fields: pharmaceutical research and development, translational medicine, and even drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics.
ECL promises to bring Carnegie Mellon researchers the ability to control an entire life sciences laboratory from their computers. Researchers will be able to use ECL's Command Center application to design experiments while dropping their samples off at designated drop points on campus. With a cloud lab, researchers will be able to run their experiments in a facility tailored specifically to their needs. In addition to research, the cloud lab has already been a pivotal component of many undergraduate and graduate STEM courses at Carnegie Mellon.
It is important to note that the cloud lab is far from a virtual lab. There will be highly trained technicians present, along with robot instrumentation, to run the experiments. However, it will allow for the remote participation of many experiments simultaneously. In other words, the cloud lab at Carnegie Mellon is on a mission to improve the efficiency of scientific research on campus.

What are Different Types of Ratchet Tools?
Come-along with ratchet and cable.
The ratchet screwdriver works like a ratchet wrench, allowing the user to constantly crank the device without taking it off and repositioning it.

Wrenches, screwdrivers, electrical crimpers and pipe cutters are common ratchet tools. A ratchet action tool allows an operator to keep the tool attached to a material while moving it. This eases the process of using the tool in tight areas where other tool styles will not fit and work correctly. Using, storing and maintaining ratchet tools correctly will keep the tool in proper working order. Improper use causes the ratchet action of the tool to function incorrectly and cause injury to the operator if the tool should slip or lock up during use.
Ratchet handle wrenches are a common sight in garages and construction sites. Held within the head of the wrench is a gear mechanism that allows the handle to turn while an attachment on the head remains attached to a fastener. Moisture entering the connecting point between the ratcheting head and the ratchet handle causes the internal components to rust. Regularly oiling the connecting points keeps the gears of this ratchet tool loose and in proper working order. A ratchet handle is not the style of ratchet tools that requires regular maintenance to keep the internal gears free of corrosion.
Ad
Chain-style cutters used on cast iron, terracotta and clay piping employ a ratchet action head to apply pressure to the cutting chain. Lubricating the point at which the cutting chain enters the ratcheting head will eliminate rust forming on the ratcheting gears. Unlike a ratchet handle wrench, the cutting chain is connecting directly to the ratchet head. This allows water to travel into the ratchet head as the chain pulls around the pipe. Constant lubrication of the cutting chain ensures moisture does not travel into the casing surrounding the ratcheting gears.
Sealed ratchet tools do not require constant lubrication to ensure proper working order but are more delicate than their heavy-duty counter parts. Ratchet action screwdrivers have a sealed area where the tool holder enters the screwdriver body and ratchet action electrical crimpers keep the area around the ratchet action jaws sealed with a rubber gasket. The plastics and rubbers used to seal this style of ratchet tools eliminates the need for lubrication but makes the tools more susceptible to damage during use or when improperly stored. Keeping each tool in a cushioned tool box and taking care not to drop or throw the tools during use will keep the plastic components of the tools from cracking or coming loose from the tool body.

@OeKc05 – A similar thing happened to me with the ratchet wrench slipping. I was pulling a tire off of a truck, and I had an old wrench that was no good anymore, but I didn't know that at the time.
I got the first tire off with no problem. The second tire was on a little bit tighter, so I put a pipe on the end of the wrench and pulled. Needless to say, pipe and forehead became one.
After that, I took the wrench to my boss, and he said he would repair it. He handed me another, along with an ice pack.

@OeKc05 – The best way to take care of hand tools like these is not to leave them in the driveway, but since it's too late for that, take some lubricating oil and spray it into the ratchet portion of the wrench on both sides. Work it back and forth, and it should free up any catches or snags you have in there.
Some higher end automotive tool companies sell rebuild kits, and the really nice ones are guaranteed for life. They give the kit to you for free, but you have to get with the tool dealer for this.
You should be fine, as long as the wrenches aren't fully rusted. If that still doesn't work, you can get a small can of penetrating oil and soak the wrench in it overnight.

What is the best way to properly maintain ratchet tools? I accidentally left mine in the driveway, and it got moisture in it. Every time I try to use it now, it seems like it is hard to go in the right direction.
Every once in awhile, it will slip, and I will hit my hand on something unintentionally. It is really starting to aggravate me, and I don't want to have to go buy another set.
Is it too late to repair the damage on this set, or is there a way to fix this? Believe me, I plan on taking good care of my tools from now on.

I am a mechanic, and I think ratchet tools are the best invention since the light bulb. They make my job so much easier.
They are so many types, sizes, and shapes. I usually use a 3/8 socket wrench, but they also come in ½ inch and ¼ inch. The size you need depends on the requirements of the job.
I also have a wrench with a ratchet in the box end, and that is a rather useful tool for tight places. Let's just say I use it at least two or three times a day.

text: Clinical supervisors have important, but perhaps poorly understood, roles involving quality assessment and improvement, and datekeeping. Supervisors provide evaluation and certification of trainees attesting to their qualifications to continue in their training and performance as mental health service providers. However, bias in supervisory evaluations is a pervasive problem as a training issue in professional psychology. Supervisors (n = 62) at APA-accredited clinical psychology internships estimated rates of leniency, central tendency, and strictness bias among supervisors in general and their own bias in evaluations and letters of reference. The implications of bias in supervisory evaluation are discussed. Potential steps to limit supervisors' bias and increase accountability are recommended.

This presentation explores the role of socialist property institutions for the current commercial transformation of the Chinese agriculture. The concurrent existence of collective ownership of farmland and a rapid transformation of the Chinese agriculture from one dominated by smallholding to increasingly commercial and industrialized economies of scale is puzzling. How can commercial investors in agriculture secure the necessary farmland for their operations if they are unable to own, buy and sell land? How has the Chinese solution - and there has to be one since we see a thriving commercial agriculture - been affected by the continuing existence of the underlying socialist property regime? The central argument presented here is that that the transformation of Chinese agriculture toward commercial and industrialized production takes place not despite socialist property institutions but is, in fact, enabled by them.
The presentation first introduces the path-dependent transformation of the Chinese rural property regime based upon collective ownership of farmland and the Household Responsibility System (HRS) since the beginning of the reforms in agriculture in the early 1980s. It describes how new ideas about the purpose and future of agriculture and smallholding triggered a step-by-step transformation of the HRS to allow market-like transfer of farmland for agricultural usage. The rural practice of these market-like structures is then investigated using data from fieldwork in Shandong, Sichuan, Guizhou an Gansu Province conducted between 2008 and 2016.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Programs that identify identical files can be useful, but simply deleting the duplicates found can cause more harm that good.
Is it safe to delete duplicate files found by duplicate file finder programs?
I'm probably going to get some flack for this one, but my answer is a very strong NO.
Let me explain why.
In short, installing programs in Windows is a mess.
Over the years programs have gone from attempting to share large numbers of components, to keeping separate copies of often identical files in order to protect from unexpected upgrades that can sometimes cause software to fail.
Right now, most programs are somewhere in between. Some modules are shared, and some are not. The "mess" is that there's no consistent rule, and applications are free to choose what they do and do not share, as well as what they do or do not rely on and install themselves.
Let's use an example.
Program "A.EXE" and program "B.EXE" are both statistical packages, and they both rely on a fairly large library of mathematical functions that are packaged into "STATS.DLL".
"In short, installing programs in Windows is a mess."
Scenario 1:
When you install A.EXE, it installs STATS.DLL into a place where anyone can use it. Then later, when you install B.EXE, it sees that STATS.DLL is already on your machine, so it has no need to install it. B.EXE just uses the STATS.DLL that's already there.
Sounds fantastic in principal since disk space is saved, and there's only one STATS.DLL to keep track of.
Then you take an update to A.EXE, which includes a new version of STATS.DLL. The update dutifully replaces the older copy of STATS.DLL with the new, and the new A.EXE is happy.
And your old B.EXE breaks.
Why? Well, to be clear, it's not supposed to. But all too often it does, because something about the newer STATS.DLL didn't take into account the way that B.EXE was using it. Could be either components fault, but the fact is that B.EXE doesn't work with the newer STATS.DLL.
You're stuck, until B.EXE is revised to work with the newer STATS.DLL. If B.EXE is never updated, you're basically screwed.
Scenario 2:
So the makers of B.EXE and A.EXE get tired of this situation where they can't update their software without affecting each other. So they decide to take a different approach.
Now, when you install A.EXE, it installs STATS.DLL into a private place where only A.EXE can use it. Later, when you install B.EXE, it does the same thing, installing another copy of STATS.DLL where only it can use it.
Problem solved, right? Now when A.EXE is update, it only update's its copy of STATS.DLL and B.EXE is unaffected.
But of course you have two copies of STATS.DLL on your machine. In fact, you may have two identical copies of STATS.DLL on your machine.
And deleting either one would be a big mistake.
So here's the bottom line:
Yes, it's safe to delete some of the duplicate files that your duplicate file finder may identify. It's just not easy to tell which ones. And without knowing, it's possible very possible you'll break an application, or worse, your operating system.
My advice: don't.
If you're looking to free up space on your hard drive, use tools that show you where the most space is being used and target your efforts to get the biggest bang for your efforts.
But in general, unless you know what you're doing, leave duplicate files alone.

I got a call from a guy who couldn't get MSN Messenger to run. I couldn't either even after reinstalling it. Also I noticed the adware program wouldn't run. I downloaded that version and even that wouldn't run.
An antivirus scan showed no infection. The only clue was when trying to run Lavasoft Ad-Aware it wouldn't but there was a error message concerning the file RICHED20.DLL. I assumed it was corrupted/missing - did a search and found 4 instances of the file on the computer.
I decided to download a new copy of the internet. They didn't have the install CD and I wasn't sure about the copies on the system. After downloading I wasn't sure where to put it. I chose SYSTEM32 folder even though there wasn't a copy there. Problem solved.
I had a similar problem with WMP.DLL from Media Player 10. Found 4 instances of the file on my hard drive and decided to use one of them. It worked by coping the file from one folder (can't remember the name right now) to the SYSTEM32 folder where again the file was missing. It worked. Duplicate files aren't always bad.

On March 22, 2007 I deleted all duplicate files, and my system crashed as a result. Leo is giving good advice.

For some now, I 've, almost religiously, been running CCleaner, then Disc Cleanup, then Drive Cleanup before turning off my computer. I wanted to know how it looked once, so after performing my usual shut down cleaning, when I next turned it on, I ran the same programs. There's a surprise. It seemed that all those nasties (or most of them at least) were back. I had done no surfing, no going on online, nothing. What's going on here? Am I wasting my time doing these chores?

I've learned this lesson the hard way. Once I ran one of these duplicate finders to clear up some duplicate files (lean = fast, right?). When I got done ALL of my shortcut files had disappeared. My desktop was blank, my start menu was blank, my quick launch was blank. I've decided since then that duplicate files aren't that bad....

I agree that deleting duplicates files could be a problem IF you're not looking at the duplicates before you delete them. Checksums are important when integrating it into a duplicate file program.
Also, I'm still wondering how someone could lose their operating system without knowing it before they click.......hmmmmmm

As Leo and many other in this thread says it is not safe to remove all duplicate files. I would recomend only to remove user files (digital photos, music, documents etc) and carefully check every file before removing it and not use any programs that automaticaly removes clones without your control. The problem is not only to find the duplicate files but to select which ones to remove.
You could try using our software Clone Tools that will give you control of exactly what you are doing by displaying all clones in a file browser. Windows system directories are exlcuded from the duplicate scan by default.

Well Leo, You shot me down...sorta. I discovered your site while seeking an efficient solution to a duplicates problem (some unknown application or some action on my part has resulted in vast numbers of duplicate files, primarily shortcuts, on my Vista system. It would take many hours to remove them all individually). My problem is not primarily a duplicate program removal issue, but you have convinced me to be extra cautious. I have encountered problems such as you describe in the past, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Thanks for reminding me of the potential problems.

FREE 1-Hour Webinar: July 12, 11am MT / 1pm EST
Ivory Innovations and MOD X, along with our partners, are hosting a 1-hour webinar about offsite construction and innovative building methods. Join us to hear from experts and exhibitors at the Innovative Housing Showcase, presented by HUD and NAHB, in Washington DC about innovative construction methods and materials and how you might think about bringing these ideas to your town, city, state, or region. The session will address key questions such as:
- How does offsite construction differ from onsite construction? Do these methods support housing affordability?
- What is the most effective regulatory action to accelerate offsite adoption?
- Which type of offsite construction is the best fit for a given project?
- How do offsite methods plug into onsite systems?
- How do the needs of offsite construction differ from onsite in the permitting and inspection process?
- How does financing differ between offsite and onsite building methods?
Partners include the International Code Council, National Association of Homebuilders, Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, National Association of Counties, Urban Institute, Brookings Institution, Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, and the Housing Innovation Alliance.


My general question is when should one use OLS and when binomial regression when the outcome is count data with a fixed upper limit. When the upper limit is large (like 1000) and most values are around 500, residuals can still be almost exactly normally distributed. However, when the number of trials is very low (like 3) normality assumption obviously cannot hold.
Is there a rule of thumb for the minimum number of trials such that OLS can be used (of course normality of residuals still should be checked)? Furthermore, if normality of residuals is approximately normal with OLS, what is the downside of using binomial regression?
In our case, we have a few different data sets where the outcomes are always (integer) scores on different tests. The score indicates how many exercises could a subject solve from the given test. The maximum scores can vary between different tests although they measure the same thing. There are tests with a maximum of 3 points, and tests with a maximum of 30. I guess with 30 points OLS might work, but not with 3. Should we just analyze everything with binomial (of course again, we need to check the assumptions)
Bonus question: If we fit OLS and binomial regression to the dataset with max 30 points, and one of the coefficients is significant for the OLS estimate but not significant for the binomial one, how can we interpret this?
 - $\begingroup$ You need to give us more details! What is the integer scores, that does not sound like counts? Assuming they are binomial counts, why not use logistic regression, which has NO normality assumption? There is little to gain by using OLS, when assumptions are not met... $\endgroup$ – kjetil b halvorsen Jun 4 at 22:00
 - $\begingroup$ That would also be my guess. However, we are reanalyzing articles and they all used OLS for tests where sometimes the maximum score was 5 or 10. The score indicates how many exercises could a subject solve from the given test. $\endgroup$ – zerz Jun 5 at 8:22

Abel Tasman Eco Tours are advocates for environmental protection, we believe that we have a responsibility to care for and protect the environment in which we operate. We are fully committed to improving environmental performance across all of our business activities, and will encourage our business partners and members of the wider community to join us in this effort.
Environmental Protection Policy
Abel Tasman Eco Tours recognises our key impacts to be in the areas of use of fossil fuels and associated emissions, waste generation, water use, use of mechanical lubricants, disturbance to wildlife through vehicle operation.
We will strive to:
Adopt the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation, meeting and exceeding all relevant legislative requirements.
Assess our organisational activities and identify areas where we can minimise impacts.
Minimise waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy.
Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible [e.g. recycled, FSC or low environmental impact products and energy from renewable sources].
Publicise our environmental position.
Train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee involvement in environmental action.
Reduce risks from environmental, health or safety hazards for employees and others in the vicinity of our operations.
Adopt an environmentally sound transport strategy.
Assist in developing solutions to environmental problems.
Continually assess the environmental impact of all our operations.
Adopt the seven principles of 'leave no trace' and run through these at the start of day briefing.
Abel Tasman Eco Tours have developed a series of action plans to supplement each of our environmental policy objectives. Abel Tasman Eco Tours will periodically review performance and publish these results on our website.
Environmental Protection Outcomes
To fulfill our environmental protection strategy, Abel Tasman Eco Tours has achieved:
Formation of a native tree restoration scheme – Abel Tasman Tree Collective, enabling local operators to collect funds from visitors in order to plant native trees in the Abel Tasman region. 100 volunteers appeared at our first planting day in Marahau, putting 2000 trees in the ground. We also funded the renovation of the DoC Community Nursery in our first year.
Tasman Bay Guardians becomes a Charitable Trust, acting as a provider organisation for Experiencing Marine Reservces and Whitebait Connection educational programmes, co-ordinating Abel Tasman Tree Collective and working through our strategy on conservation gains for the marine space in Tasman Bay.
Abel Tasman Eco Tours is proud to be certified a Climate Positive Business with Ekos. We have measured and offset 134% of our carbon footprint for the 2021 financial year with certified carbon credits. These offsets grow and protect forests in New Zealand and help to deliver climate resilience, waterways protection, erosion control, biodiversity conservation and community economic development.
Offer free passage to any staff from other companies in the Park who wish to enhance their environmental interpretation skills.
Adopting the principles of the 'leave no trace' policy and communication these to clients at the start of the day.
Removing any foreign objects from the environment if safe to do so, we carry a landing net on board the vessel for this purpose. If unsafe or unfeasible, we report these objects to DoC or the TDC Harbourmaster.
Adopting a custodial role over our Marine Reserve and reporting any misconduct within to DoC. Developing our own marine mammal watching protocols and attending the DoC SMART Operator training course. We are the Park's first certified SMART Operator.
Using the most economical marine outboard on the market and full servicing of all of our vehicles to ensure maximum efficiency and cleanliness, and researching the viability of alternative clean energies.
Specifying conservative use of vehicle operation in our Standard Operating procedures to minimise fuel usage and impact on the environment and wildlife.
Only using 'Marine Safe' lithium grease conservatively to avoid waste and overspill into the environment. Using EcoFix lubricant on all our gear.
Our Carbon Output Calculation
At Abel Tasman Eco tours, we take our environment footprint very seriously. We endeavour to be sustainable with all our activities. We have calculated the total and average Carbon Dioxide output per person per trip. The carbon output per person will depend on the number of passengers on that particular day, so we have taken an average fiture, and based our carbon offset on that, as we tend to have a few very quiet trips in the winter, and lots of busier trips in the summer.
Average Fuel consumption Per Passenger 5.9 litres and Total Boat Trip 38.0 litres
2.4 Kilos CO2 per litre of petrol per passenger and Total Boat Trip
Average Kilos CO2 Output - 14.2 per Passenger and 90.9 per Total Boat Trip
How many Trees do I need to plant per 1kg of CO2 emitted?
This is a tough question! CO2 sequestion is measured per hectare as Tonnes per CO2 Equivalent (tCO2e), and changes depending on the tree species, the level of maintenance, and the time period. With this in mind, taking an average of 900 treees per hectare over a period of 6 years the estimated total Carbon Dioxide sequested is 69.9 kgs per tree. This number will increase incrementally over the trees life which could be hundreds of years.
The estimated price of a native tree, raised, planted and maintained for 6 years is $4.00
$1 from you ticket goes directly to planting a native tree.
Abel Tasman Eco Tours supports the Abel Tasman Tree Collective where the trees are planted not just for sequestion, but for habitat restoration, water filtration, native fish spawning habitat, education and action project for school kids.
Every $1 received for any of our chosen causes ticks a multitude of areas to help our environment, ecology & community
The seven principles of 'leave no trace'
Plan Ahead and Prepare
By having an active safety & environmental policy, we can safely guide clients through a pristine environment, taking all care to minimise disturbance to wildlife and habitat through excellent communication and etiquette.
Travel on Durable Ground
Only use formed walking tracks and access ways, taking care to avoid damage to tree roots and vulnerable soft vegetation.
Dispose of Waste Properly
All rubbish comes out of the Park with us and no rubbish to be thrown overboard in any circumstance.
Leave What You Find
Beautiful things such as shells, feathers, seaweeds and artifacts are cool to find, and we must leave them for the discovery and learning of others. Small children may take one shell each for their learning, but they must find out the name of that shell.
Minimise the Effect of Fire
We operate a no smoking policy on all our trips, this is for the comfort of other clients and to minimise the risk of fire in the bush.
Respect Wildlife and Farm Animals
We operate under a strict code of conduct, not only around marine mammals but with respect for all wildlife. Maintain a respectful distance (unless initiated by the animal), no loud noises, no feeding, no touching (apart from the guide in rock pools*).
*Rock pool animals are tolerant to disturbance due to the nature of their habitat.
Be Considerate of Others
Always consider other users needs both directly, such as, staying calm and silent, and also by applying the previous six principles and leading by example.

Strengthening connections was the theme of the 14th Annual FNESC Provincial Conference. So, what does strengthening connections mean? Does it mean upgrading your wireless router for a better connection? Adding some extra duct tape to your shoe so the sole will stay on? Or does strengthening connections mean engaging students more in their learning by including more cultural content and by doing so strengthening their connection to their education? Or does it mean strengthening the connection teachers have with their student by improving the structure of their classroom and their teaching style? I think the last two make much more sense and that is what I got out of two of the workshops I attended.
The Engaging Aboriginal Students Through Imagination workshop discussed many of the ways teachers can better engage aboriginal students, though their imaginations and emotions. Dr. Lee Brown said earlier in the day that "You can feel without thinking, but you can not think with out feeling." He also shared with us that how well a student does in school is directly related to how well he or she is developing emotionally. Speaking specifically of aboriginal students, Dr. Brown said that if teachers bring in more aboriginal content and aboriginal values into the classroom, these students will be engaged emotionally and therefore become more likely to succeed. The presenters at the workshop expanded on this subject by giving suggestions for lesson plans, sharing personal experiences and by explaining how including more cultural content in the classroom can give aboriginal students a better sense of identity, and a better sense of belonging. This was also one of Dr. Brown's beliefs as he said "Emotions become values, and values become identity." Students and teachers both have to work on being emotionally connected to learning to be successful.
In the Putting the Pieces Together work shop, presenter Stacy Bernard spoke on building a curriculum of caring. Her emphasis was that teachers need to love their students, and build a relationship with them so that the teacher can become an attachment figure for the child. She added that it does not mean a teacher has to love the student in an adoring way but to care about their feelings and their education. Stacy stated that teachers need to build a "climate of support" in their classrooms, and create structure so that everyone knows what is expected, or in her words, "You know that I know that you know that I know." She said that teachers need to learn their responsibilities as educators, so that students can feel safe at school and be guided through the most important years of their life. She closed by saying that we need to have emotional and morale educators in order to create a safe atmosphere to express emotion for students. Stacy told teachers to "give the students their hearts, because they are giving you theirs."
This conference has truly shown that it takes a community to raise a child. It is not in the hands of one single person. It's through the efforts of students, teachers and cultural leaders that success rates of aboriginal students can continue to rise so that we may look forward to a brighter tomorrow.

You can specify these passwords in a password file and use the -passfile option to specify the name of the file. This is the format for the -passfile option:imqbrokerd -passfile filePath
Note - In previous versions of Message Queue, you could use the -p, -password, -dbpassword, and -ldappassword options to specify passwords on the command line. As of Message Queue 4.0, these options are deprecated and are no longer supported; you must use a password file instead.
Typing a password interactively, in response to a prompt, is the most secure method of specifying a password (provided that your monitor is not visible to other people). You can also specify a password file on the command line. For non-interactive use of commands, however, you must use a password file.
A password file is unencrypted, so you must set its permissions to protect it from unauthorized access. Set the permissions so that they limit the users who can view the file, but provide read access to the user who starts the broker.
A password file is a simple text file containing a set of properties and values. Each value is a password used by a command. Table 9-7 shows the types of passwords that a password file can contain.

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. – SQ4D Inc., announced today that its robotic construction system has built the largest permitted 3D-printed home in the world, using less than $6,000 in materials.
The Patchogue, N.Y.-based company's Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS) constructed a 1,900-square-foot home, taking 48 hours of print time over an eight-day period, the company said. It added that due to ARCS enhancements implemented post-construction, future print times are expected to be cut in half.
The ARCS platform robotically builds foundations, exterior walls, interior walls, utility conduits, and more, SQ4D said. The company said the digitally driven system can reduce labor to as little as three people – labor costs accounting for up to 41% of the total construction cost of a home. The system's low-power consumption technology also allows homes and buildings to be built using less energy than traditional construction methods, creating an environmentally friendly impact, the company added.
The robotic platform eliminates and consolidates more than 20 manual labor intensive processes, which include siding, framing, and sheathing. "This revolutionary technology will be replacing and eliminating more expensive and inferior building materials, causing the printed structures to be stronger and safer," the company said in a statement. "Utilizing concrete will reduce the cost by at least 30%, as well as making the structure more fire resistant than traditional methods. This home will have the strength to last into the next century."
3D-printing robots are part of an overall construction robotics market that is expected to reach $190 million by 2025, according to a report by Infoholic Research. Other segments in this space include demolition robots, brick-laying robots and autonomous construction vehicles and equipment. "3D printing will revolutionize the construction industry by changing the traditional planning and development methods," said Arjun Das, senior research analyst at Infoholic Research. "High level of scalability in 3D printing will help construction companies build custom projects and building on demand (BOD) quickly, along with eliminating the need for transporting large goods."
Similarly, ABI Research said automation technology advances are helping to drive "the next frontier of robotics adoption" in the construction and mining segments. However, ABI said most of the growth initially in this space will be around autonomous mobile robots performing haulage tasks, rather than specific tasks such as brick-laying, painting, loading, or bulldozing."

The cross grid encoder is an optical diffraction grating type encoder to measure two-dimensional position of a optical head by using a grid plate where grids are aligned orthogonal to each other. The cross grid encoder can be applied to measure two-dimensional motion errors of high-precision and ultra-precision machine tools, such as the straightness error or the squareness error. As a basis to establish a methodology to measure evaluate motion accuracy of highand ultra-precision machine tools by using the cross grid encoder, this paper presents a self-calibration scheme of a measurement error of the cross grid encoder caused mainly by the misalignment of grids. The measurement error corresponding to the location on the grid plate is calibrated by comparing three measurements taken with different orientation of the grid plate. It is experimentally validated that the measurement error of the cross grid encoder is reduced by about 85% at maximum by applying the self-calibration and the compensation of measurement errors.

There is no law that sets a deadline or timetable for the car insurance company to respond to your demand letter. Every case is different, and not every car insurance company follows the same claim processing timeline. What's more, the amount of time the insurer is taking to respond to your demand letter has no bearing on how seriously the carrier is taking your claim. Having said that, there are a few things you can do to "encourage" a prompt response. And if you haven't heard from the insurer in 45 to 60 days, you can and should follow up.
First, when you're preparing your car accident demand letter, you can make a professionally-worded request that the insurance company respond to your letter within a certain time period.
For example, toward the end of the letter, you can add a few sentences like: "Thank you for your consideration. Please respond to this letter within 30 days."
Or, if you want to present a little more of a "take charge" air, go with something like: "I look forward to receiving your reply no later than 15 days from your receipt of this demand letter."
The inclusion of language like this can motivate a more timely response, but there is no law that you can point to in order to back up these requests. And what if you include language like this in your demand letter, and you still haven't received a response from the insurance company after 45 to 60 days? It's appropriate to follow up with the insurance carrier, reminding them that you sent the letter, and requesting that they respond.
You should send this follow up inquiry in writing, providing all relevant claim information, noting the date on which you mailed the demand letter, and providing your current contact information.
If another 30 days or so pass, and you still haven't heard from the insurance carrier, it's time to call the company and ask to speak to the adjuster (if one has been assigned and you know his or her name) or the claims administrator. Be sure to document this conversation (the date on which it took place, who you spoke with, and what was said), and mail a follow-up letter to the insurance carrier in which the conversation is summarized. That should kick-start the settlement process.


Alternative For LED In The Night Vision Devices

night-vision-without-led-illuminator
The night vision devices with LED illuminator make use of the laser diode or the other ambient light sources such as the filtered incandescent lamp, to provide the proper wavelength of infrared illumination. This proper wavelength helps to eliminate the differentiation involved in the ambient light.
It allows the user to eradicate the shadows, in order to illuminate and improve the quality of the image contrast. The filtered incandescent lamps based on the high power lamp pass through the infrared radiation and laser type, based on the infrared laser diode for the near infrared energy emission and are used with the night vision technology instead of using the LED illuminator.

Pneumatic Time Delay Cabinet
The TOMCO2 Systems pneumatic time delay cabinet is a pneumatically operated assembly of a pressure gauge, supervisory pressure switches, dial timers, 24vdc solenoid and mechanical override all interconnected by tubing and mounted in a NEMA 12, 4 or 4x enclosure. Three 1/2" [12.7] NPT connections on the enclosure provide connections for the necessary external piping.
One time delay cabinet should be provided for each master/selector valve within the system and should be located at or near the valve being controlled. The emergency manual push-button located on the side of the cabinet should only be used in the event of failure to the automatic or normal manual actuation devices.
The actuation line from the timer cabinet up to and including the actuator is supervised at 10 psig. The circuit includes a 15 psig pressure relief valve to prevent over pressurization of the line if the pressure regulator fails. Upon loss of the supervisory pressure, a pressure switch sends a signal to the main control system.
The storage unit provides 100 psig of CO2 vapor pressure through a regulator for operation of the timer cabinet. When the solenoid or emergency manual operator are actuated, the CO2 vapor pressure will accomplish the following:
- Delay discharge for a pre-determined, adjustable time period.
- Immediately alert personnel of the pending CO2 discharge with a pneumatic operated siren that by-passes all time delays.
- Provide pneumatic pressure to open the master/selector valves to begin the discharge and then, after a predetermined time, vents the pneumatic pressure which will cause the valves to close.
The delay timer provides 3 to 60 seconds of pre-discharge time. The discharge timer causes the master/selector valves to remain open for predetermined discharge time adjustable between 18 seconds to
10 minutes. An optional timer is available for extended discharges up to 100 minutes.

Michigan University study recommends banning use of facial recognition tools in schools
University of Michigan study finds the use of facial recognition technology in schools invades privacy, promotes racial discrimination; recommends a total ban
Many schools use facial recognition technology for keeping an eye on students as well as preventing outsiders from entering the school premises. However, a new study by the University of Michigan researchers finds that using facial recognition technology schools is bad.
The research team led by Shobita Parthasarathy found that the security aspect of the facial recognition technology is flawed and presents many other problems. The study found that the facial recognition technology actually invades the students' privacy and promotes racial discrimination. The report adds that the tech also normalizes surveillance while institutionalizing inaccuracy and marginalizing non-conforming students.
The study was conducted at the behest of the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy and comes in a time when there is a general anti-facial recognition tech feeling among Americans. There are growing instances of states banning the use of facial recognition tech by law enforcement agencies. Tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, etc. have already announced that they will not deliver facial recognition tech to the U.S. law enforcement agencies until there is a regulation in place. IBM has gone further and said that it will never venture into the facial recognition technology business.
The study which is titled, "Cameras in the Classroom," states that facial recognition tech is not accurate and should be banned from schools. "We have focused on facial recognition in schools because it is not yet widespread and because it will impact particularly vulnerable populations. The research shows that prematurely deploying the technology without understanding its implications would be unethical and dangerous," said Parthasarathy.

SharedPointersAndQmlOwnership | Qt Wiki | Qt Project
Handling of objects and types between C++ and QML
Safely exposing QSharedPointer objects to QML
Q: How can we expose objects governed by QSharedPointer to QML safely? (Assume that we are talking about a pointer to a QObject)
Currently, QML isn't aware of QSharedPointer and friends, but internally uses its own guard-types to react to QObject deletion. If you want to ensure that the engine won't delete the QObject you pass in, you need to explicitly set the ownership of the QObject to CppOwnership (there's a QQmlEngine function to do so). Alternatively, if the QObject has a parent (ownership parent) set, the engine won't delete it.
A: You need to observe these rules:
 - You need to be able to guarantee the life of your QObject beyond the life of the QDeclarativeEngine. [ Reason: It was suggested in the mailing-list thread that the engine could cache a reference to the object ]
 - It is too dangerous to mix QSharedPointer ownership with the QObject parent/child ownership.
 - [ Should the referenced class inherit QObject? ]
Thus this is the only way to go about it:
 1. Call QSharedPointer :: data() to get a pointer to the referenced class;
 2. Make sure the QML engine doesn't assume ownership: QDeclarativeEngine :: setObjectOwnership (P). This step is necessary since the only other way of keeping the engine from assuming ownership would be to give the object a parent, which is out of the question since the shared pointer already has ownership.
 3. Hand over the raw QObject pointer to QML using either QObject :: setProperty or QDeclarativeContext :: setContextProperty
Ways of exposing references to QML and their effect on ownership
 1. The QML engine respects normal QObject parenting.
 2. By calling QDeclarative::setRootContext (ownership not transferred: _URL_
 - no ownership change.
 3. By calling QObject::setProperty on the instantiated component (ownership?)
 - no ownership change
 4. By QML calling a method on a C++ object and getting a response (ownership IS transferred to QML if and only if the QObject has no parent)
 - ownership change if ownership semantics were not previously explicitly set; e.g.
 - if the QObject returned from a Q_INVOKABLE function to JS does not have CppOwnership explicitly set, it will become JavaScriptOwnership owned. To avoid that, you can explicitly set the ownership semantic prior to returning it.
 5. By QML accessing a Q_PROPERTY on a C++ object (ownership?).
 - no ownership change
Issues arising from type handling of objects exposed; relevant when specifying properties in QML
 - QML understand only 2 property types: JavaScript vars, and QVariant properties.
 - It builds type information from the loaded component set, and enforces type safety when assigning to properties of those types.
 - But internally, all properties are stored as either QVariants or JavaScript vars.
Crossing C++ / QML boundaries issues.
 - Q: What are the exact mechanisms that governs value conversion from one space to another?
 - A: Whenever a value stored in a QVariant property is exposed to a JavaScript [removed]binding, signal handler, dynamic method, etc), it is converted to a JavaScript value:
 - In case of component-defined QObject-derived types, we create a JavaScript object which is "special" – we install some functions on that object such that any property lookup or function call on it, is passed to our code in C++ which performs the appropriate lookup / call.
 - There are quite a few different types for which we do this (sequence types such as QList<int> etc, internal implementation detail classes for which we need to intercept symbol resolution, etc).
 - Whenever a value in JavaScript is assigned to a QVariant-backed property of a QML item, we do a similar (but inverse) conversion; JavaScript string, convert it QString, "special" JavaScript object, we "pull out of it" the embedded pointer to the actual object.
Special semantics for null and undefined
 - if "undefined" is assigned to a QVariant property which is Reset-able, we reset the property.
 - Null is generally treated as a null-ptr when assigned to QObject-derived-type properties, but otherwise may fail, depending on the property type.
Improvements in the works (Qt5)
 - Simpler and more intuitive way to expose Collections (QList, QMap, QHash, QSet) to QML:
 - At the moment, QList of int, bool, qreal, QString, QUrl.
 - QVariantMap is converted to a generic JavaScript object with key-value pairs set as correctly as possible (according to the conversion semantics for each value's type).
 - To avoid the type conversion edge cases, thoughts to use more of a property var in the implementation.

The aims of this study were 1) to evaluate the current pilot test method and ascertain reliable measurements for a standard test method of mobility with personal protective equipment (PPE), such as physical performance and balance ability tests; 2) to compare two participant groups (firefighters versus non-firefighters) and to investigate whether non-firefighters are appropriate as a standard participant group in the field of PPE or not. Totally, 18 participants (nine professional firefighters and nine untrained males) performed the current pilot test method consisting of a balance test, completed prior to and after a performance test. Significant differences were found between PPE conditions and CON (the control clothing ensemble: T-shirt, shorts, and running shoes) for the functional balance test, physical performance test, heart rate, and subjective evaluations in firefighters group. Therefore, the present pilot test method is valid as a standard test method for assessing mobility while wearing PPE. Moreover, the present result shows that firefighters are more reliable than non-firefighters in testing of PPE with current test methods.

Data Source Description
Sources: UC Merced, Climate Engine
The Long-Term Multi-Indicator Drought Index (MIDI) is an experimental blended product. It looks at current drought conditions across the U.S. by integrating several key long-term drought indices into one objective, computer-generated map. MIDI data were from Climate Engine were available in raster format.
This product is based on methodology from the NOAA National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center. The short-term and long-term MIDIs are created using the Climate Engine tool, and apply Climate Prediction Center weighting ratios to the high-resolution gridMET gridded research dataset. The data are updated every 5 days, with a delay of 4 to 5 days to allow for data collection and quality control.
The long-term MIDI combines the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Palmer Z-Index, 180-day Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), 1-year SPI, 2-year SPI, and 5-year SPI to approximate drought impacts from changes in precipitation and moisture over a long-term timeframe. This product uses the same percentile category ranges as the U.S. Drought Monitor.
This product is an example of current NIDIS-funded research. Learn more.

New graphics engine imperils users of Firefox and Chrome
Disable WebGL now, researchers warn
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team is advising users of the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers to disable a recently added graphics engine that can be exploited to steal data or crash end user computers.
The web standard known as WebGL opens the browsers to serious attacks, including the theft of images or denial-of-service attacks, independent research consultancy Context Information Security recently warned. The technology made its debut in version 9 of Chrome and was added to the recently released Firefox 4. WebGL is also present in builds of Opera and Apple's Safari.
"Based on this limited research Context does not believe WebGL is really ready for mass usage," Context researcher James Forshaw wrote. "Therefore Context recommends that users and corporate IT managers consider disabling WebGL in their browsers.
The technology is designed to render web-based 3D graphics by allowing the browser to have greater access to a computer's graphics hardware. Until now, the security of graphics gear hasn't been much of a concern, but the wide availability of WebGL should change that. Malicious web masters could exploit inherent weaknesses in the standard to cause computers to display the infamous blue screen of death or steal potentially sensitive data.
A Google spokesman didn't address the claims in the Context report head on, but did offer the following:
Many parts of the WebGL stack, including the GPU process, run in separate processes and are sandboxed in Chrome to help prevent various kinds of attacks. To help ward off lower level attacks, we work with hardware, OS, and driver vendors to proactively disable unsafe system configurations and help them improve the robustness of their stack.
I'd also point out that Chrome doesn't run on some system configurations if lower level stack issues are identified. This is a key intermediate step to help protect Chrome users.
The spokesman didn't say if these measures are enough to prevent the Webgl vulnerabilities described by Context from being exploited in Chrome.
A spokesman for the Khronos Group, which maintains the WebGL standard, similarly didn't address the Context report directly in an email to The Register. Instead, he referred to an official statement that said the graphics engine comes with an extension "specifically designed to prevent denial of service and out-of-range memory access attacks from WebGL content."
The extension, known as GL_ARB_robustness, "has already been deployed by some GPU vendors and Khronos expects it to be deployed rapidly by others," the statement continued. "Browsers can check for the presence of this extension before enabling WebGL content. This is likely to become the deployment mode for WebGL in the near future."
The statement didn't name the GPU manufacturers or say what percentage of shipping GPUs make use of the measure.
On Tuesday, members of the US-CERT echoed the advice that WebGL be disabled. So far, neither Context nor CERT has given instructions for turning off the standard in various browsers.
In Firefox 4, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) into the address bar and set webgl.disabled to true. In Chrome, get to the command line of your operating system and add the --disable-webgl flag to the Chrome command. On a Windows machine, the command line would be "chrome.exe --disable-webgl". ®
This article was updated to include comment from The Khronos Group. It was later updated to correct the types of attacks Context said WebGL is susceptible to. The report doesn't include the possibility of code-execution attacks, as incorrectly reported earlier.

From Ohio History Central
Ohio Stadium is where The Ohio State University football team plays its home games. It is located on the university's campus in Columbus, Ohio.
The stadium opened in 1922. It cost approximately 1.3 million dollars to build. This was one of the earliest stadiums constructed of concrete, and many people feared that the structure would collapse. The stadium was constructed in the shape of a horseshoe, and fans nicknamed the structure "the Horseshoe" or "the Shoe."
At the time of its opening, Ohio Stadium was the largest stadium west of the Allegheny Mountains. It officially could hold 66,210 fans when it first opened, although fans routinely filled the stadium beyond capacity. Many people said that the stadium would never be filled due to its large size. The first game played in Ohio Stadium occurred on October 7, 1922, when Ohio State played Ohio Wesleyan. At the dedication game, The Ohio State University versus the University of Michigan, on October 21, 1922, 71,385 fans attended. Originally, there were no restrooms for women, as it was deemed unfashionable for women to attend sporting events, such as football games, during the 1920s.
Over the years, Ohio Stadium underwent some dramatic changes. Due to the demand for more seats, The Ohio State University eventually constructed temporary stands at the south end, the open end, of the stadium. Originally players played on a grass field, but in 1971, Ohio State installed Astroturf. In 1990, grass returned to Ohio Stadium. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Ohio Stadium went under a renovation. The university replaced the temporary stands in the south end of the stadium with permanent ones. Skyboxes and a new press box were also added. The field was also lowered more than fourteen feet to make room for additional seating. When the renovation was complete in 2001, the stadium could now officially hold 101,568 fans, making it the third largest stadium in the United States.

Evolution Characteristics of the Kurtosis Parameter on a Distorted Cat's Eye Effect Reflected Beam
Y-Z. Zhao, H-Y. Sun and Y-H. Zheng
Based on the definition of second order moment, fourth order moment and the approximate three-dimensional analytical formula for oblique laser beam passing through a cat's eye optical lens with centre shelter, the analytical expression of kurtosis parameter of the cat's eye effect reflected light under far field condition has been deduced. Evolution characteristics of kurtosis parameter affected by the incident angle, back backhaul transmission distance, focal shift and centre shelter ratio are performed by numerical calculation, and analysed physically. The results show that the reflected beam at the return place changes from a leptokurtic beam into a mesokurtic beam along with the increase of the incident angle. Only when the focal shift and incident angle are all very small, the kurtosis parameter at the return place has a large value and the reflected beam has a leptokurtic profile. These evolution characteristics of kurtosis parameter can be used to classify the distorted reflected beam.
Keywords: Laser optics, cat's eye effect, kurtosis parameter, evolution characteristics, reflected beam, incident angle, focal shift

How do you move (or copy) a document from an IFS directory to an Iseries folder?
ASKED: December 22, 2008 6:49 PM
UPDATED: December 24, 2008 8:48 AM
Answer Wiki
Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.
When you say iSeries folder, are you referring to a DLO (document library object) in the original, pre-IFS OS/400 folder structure? If so, then those folders are part of the IFS, through the /QDLS path. Thus, a folder named MYFOLDER would be accessed using the IFS syntax of /QDLS/MYFOLDER, and to reference a specific document, the syntax is /QDLS/MYFOLDER/MYDOCUMENT.
You could use the MOV command, to move the object from its current IFS directory to the desired folder/directory in the /QDLS path. You can also rename or convert the object to another format and/or CCSID with that same command. Example:
MOV OBJ('/MyIFSDirectory/MyFile') TODIR('/QDLS/MYFOLDER')
(Be aware that /QDLS only supports the old DOS 8.3 naming convention, so if you try to move a file there that doesn't conform, you will get an error. In that case, you would have to rename the file first, before moving. This can be done via the REN command.)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE06-07
to Conduct Aerial Survey of Deer in Kensico Basin
Commissioner Emily Lloyd of the New York City Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced today that within the
next two weeks the DEP is going to conduct an aerial survey of
the deer population in the area surrounding the Kensico Reservoir
The survey will use an infrared camera mounted on
a single engine Cessna airplane, and will be conducted at night
from an altitude of approximately 1000 feet. The study will
map the deer population within a 4-mile by 6-mile area of Westchester
covering the Kensico drainage basin.
"Deer can have a detrimental effect on watershed
areas by reducing or eliminating forest regeneration," said
Commissioner Lloyd. "Damage to the forests can lead
to loose or unstable soil, which then increases the amount of soil
that runs off into the water system during and after a rainfall
or snow melt. More data are needed if officials are to develop
an effective strategy for managing the deer herd in the county."
A healthy, vigorously growing forest consumes more
nutrients, reducing the amount of nutrients in watercourses and
reservoirs and thereby aiding in water quality protection. A
resilient forest with various sizes of trees is also able to recover
faster from various events, such as damage from weather.
DEP has worked extensively with Westchester County
and Pace University on the effects of whitetail deer. A conference
on deer management was held at Pace in November 2005, which led
to the decision by DEP to conduct the deer survey.
Survey work will be done by Vision Air Research
of Boise, Idaho, using a red and white Cessna. The flight
will be coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration so
as to not interfere with operations at Westchester County Airport.


Map of CanadaCITE has Sections that provide localized services to members. With your ITE membership, you are automatically a member of a District (CITE) and an associated Section, depending on where you live. The number of activities in each Section varies according to the Section leadership, and distribution of its members. Some Sections have a large geographic area yet a small number of members spread over that large area, whereas conversely, other Sections have a large membership confined within a relatively small geographic area.
For those Sections with a large membership, the option exists to form Chapters in order to better meet the specific needs of members within their area. However, the formation of these Chapters is only possible if enough members are prepared to take on the leadership role.
Another type of Chapter that also exists within the structure of ITE is specific to student members, and is usually tied to an educational institution such as a university. Again, there must be enough students prepared to take on the leadership roles required to operate a Student Chapter, and there must also be a member of faculty prepared to step into the role of Student Advisor.
Both forms of Chapters are responsible directly to the Section where they are geographically located.
