Using Presto Auto Scaling with Graceful Decommission - Amazon EMR
Using Presto Auto Scaling with Graceful Decommission
Amazon EMR release versions 5.30.0 and later include a feature you can use to set a grace period for certain scaling actions. The grace period allows Presto tasks to keep running before the node terminates because of a scale-in resize action or an automatic scaling policy request. For more information about scaling rules, see Understanding Automatic Scaling Rules in the Amazon EMR Management Guide. Presto graceful auto scaling prevents new tasks from being scheduled on a node that is decommissioning, while at the same time allowing tasks that are already running to complete before the shut down timeout is reached. Queries that are running will complete execution before the node is decommissioned. Auto scaling is not supported on instance fleets.
You can control how much time to allow for Presto tasks to complete after an auto scale shut down request is received. By default, the shut down timeout for Amazon EMR is 0 minutes, which means that Amazon EMR immediately terminates the node and any Presto tasks running on it, if required by a scale-in request. To set a longer timeout for Presto tasks on Amazon EMR to allow running queries to complete before scaling down a cluster, use the presto-config configuration classification to set the graceful-shutdown-timeout parameter to a value in seconds or minutes greater than zero. For more information, see Configuring Applications.
For example, increasing the graceful-shutdown-timeout value to "30m" specifies a timeout period of 30 minutes. After the shut down timeout period ends, the node marked for decommissioning is forcefully terminated if it is waiting for query tasks to complete, and the query fails. If the query tasks finish in five minutes, the node marked for decommissioning terminates at five minutes, provided other YARN applications have completed execution.
Example Presto Auto Scale Configuration with Graceful Decommission
Replace the graceful-shutdown-timeout value with the number of minutes appropriate for your setup. There's no maximum value. The example below sets a timeout value of 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
[ { "classification": "presto-config", "properties": { "graceful-shutdown-timeout": "1800s" } } ]
PrestoDB graceful decommission does not work on EMR clusters where HTTP connectivity is disabled, such as when http-server.http.enabled is set to false. PrestoSQL does not support graceful decommission at all, regardless of the http-server.http.enabled setting.

Of all the countries in the East and the Central African sub-regions, Kenya stands out as a huge business hub. It terms of GDP, the economy of Kenya is the largest in the region with $53.40 billion U.S., dollars. By available records, Kenya is one of the top 10 economies in the entire continent of Africa and available data on returns on investment show that there exist huge opportunities for small and medium-scale businesses involved with food processing in this East African country. Let us look at the Kenyan market in a bit more detail and how to set up a food processing business in Kenya!
The key drivers of the economy of Kenya
Agriculture and its allied services are at the centre of the wealth of Kenya. The country is reputed for its large cultivation of tea, coffee, grains, and fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, passion fruit, oranges, water melon, pawpaw, avocado, and banana. The dairy industry in Kenya is also evolving with huge potentials for discerning investors. Kenya boast of a large herd of exotic dairy cows which provide fresh milk for processing into branded pasteurised milk and other dairy products such as yoghurt, ice cream and sour milk products.
In addition, the sales of retail volume of yoghurt, sour milk products, cheese, and other dairy products have been recording steady growth in the last couple of years according to a research by euromonitor.com.
A look into the key opportunities for small-scale food processing investment in Kenya
Opportunities exists for small-scale investments in the food processing sector of the Kenyan economy in some key areas. These include: grain milling, sour milk production, ice cream and yogurt production, beer production, biscuit production, production of fruit drinks, manufacturing of packaged cheese, and sugarcane crushing. By population, Kenya is a nation of 47million people and of this number, 43%, 35% and 53.4% are children, youth, and working age population respectively. This demography and rising disposable incomes clearly show that Kenya is an entrenched place for the production and marketing of yogurt, fresh juice, and packaged cheese.
In addition, the raw materials for most of these small-scale food processing businesses are readily available and can be sourced locally in Kenya. For example, for ice cream production, the local raw materials in Kenya includes milk, eggs, butter, water, cream, flavours, and colour additives. And for biscuit production, the key ingredients include wheat flour, vegetable fat or other forms of edible oil like palm oil, and sugar. Other minor ingredients and chemicals for biscuit manufacturing could be sourced through importation with the help of food processing experts like Africa Processing.
How to set up a small-scale food processing business in Kenya
If you are thinking of setting up a food processing business in Kenya in any of the areas listed above, such is possible even if all you have is a low initial capital. Since Kenya offers a huge market for packaged food and fruit drinks, you stand to take a share of the market provided you have the right skills or expert advice from seasoned professionals such as Africa Processing. Africa Processing is a UK-based company with more than twenty years of proven competence and experience in several areas of food processing generally. Experts at Africa Processing are skilful and can make huge technical input into several areas of food processing such as the right recipes, equipment and the key functional blends required for manufacturing an assortment of quality food products.

Design, Simulation, and Testing of a Pressure Wave Supercharger for a Small Internal Combustion Engine
The engines used to power small unmanned aerial systems are often modified commercial products designed for use by hobbyists on small model aircraft at low altitude. For military applications, it is desirable to fly at high altitudes. Maintaining power from the engine at the reduced ambient air pressures associated with high altitudes requires some method of increasing air delivery to the intake manifold. Conventional turbochargers and superchargers are typically very inefficient for the low mass flows associated with small engines. Due to its unique characteristics, a pressure wave supercharger (PWS) can avoid many scaling-related losses. This project designed a small-scale PWS for turbo-normalization of a Brison 95 cc two-stroke engine for a small unmanned aerial vehicle. A larger PWS called the Comprex®, designed by Brown Boveri Company, was simulated using a quasi-one-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center.

Willem BarentsWillem Barents (1550? -- 1597, Dutch name Barentsz) was a Dutch navigator and explorer, leader of early expeditions in far northern waters.
In 1594 he left Amsterdam with two ships to search for the Northeast passage to eastern Asia. He reached the west coast of Novaya Zemlya, and followed it northward, being finally forced to turn back when near its northern extremity.
In the following year he commanded another expedition. of seven ships, which made for the strait between the Asiatic coast and Vaygach Island, but was too late to find open. water. His third journey also failed and resulted in his death. On this occasion he had two ships, and on the outward journey sighted Bear Island and Svalbard (also known as Spitsbergen), where the ships separated. Barents? vessel, after rounding the north of Novaya Zemlya, was trapped in the ice and he was compelled to winter in the north. Since his ship was not released early in 1597, his party left her in two open boats on June 13, 1597 and most of its members escaped. Barents himself, however, died on June 30, 1597.
The Barents Sea was named for him.

Need a Windchill Data Object that is not defined by having a document or cad object.
I would like to see a pure data object created in Windchill PDMLink for creating information that is not derived from creating a WTDocument or an EPMDocument. So that data can be created in the same way that one would within any other database application through the use of a input form, attributes to create a data record. This data object type should have the ability to be sub-typed and also linked to other objects (WTDocument, EPMDocument, etc..).

Engineering creates and captures a lot of data that is recorded on spreadsheets that would be more useful downstream if in a database, however in most cases when this happens it is usually create in a standalone database separated from Windchill and becomes another island of information that eventually gets disconnected from the downstream process. Adding the ability to create this data in Windchill would be very useful to the overall engineering and manufacturing process.

Palletizing Builder with an actual robot
Modified on Wed, 02 Mar 2022 at 12:43 PM
Please refer to the Palletizing Builder in simulation for setting up a Palletizing Builder project.
Palletizing Builder allows you to transfer the calculated pallet positions directly to the robot controller. This requires you to have the WORK coordinate input into the controller which indicates the pallet's origin relative to the robot arm. Once your project is setup and analyzed, you can click the Export to robot controller button. For transferring the data to the robot controller, you can select the top option and input the controller's IP address.
Click Next to select the options for calculating the pallet positions. This menu is similar to the menu for communicating this data to Wincaps III.
Clicking Start will calculate points and perform the motion range check and search pallet position if these options are selected. If the calculations are successful, the software will transfer the positions and any calculated WORK coordinates to the controller. You can create a program to move the robot to the positions generated for the pallet.

Ahh squirting. Isn't it just one of those wacky old myths like centaurs or unicorns? Well, no, actually. Female ejaculation is a legit real thing, and not as elusive and mysterious as people like to make out.
No other sexual phenomenon is as shrouded in mystery as female ejaculation. Even today the concept of squirting is still often met with scepticism. So is female ejaculation real or merely a stunt invented by the porn industry?
For many — men and women included — squirting is a mysterious occurrence. Where does the liquid come from? What does it feel like? And crucially, is it urine? You might laugh, but in the UK banned squirting in porn, apparently because it's difficult to tell the fluid apart from pee which is also banned.


Game Review
Super Yum Yum: Puzzle Adventures Review
Europe PAL Version
Posted by Marcel van Duyn
Fairly yummy
First released for mobile phones and iPhone, Super Yum Yum is a puzzle game in which you play as Leon the chameleon, attempting to recover all your children and your large supply of fruit, all of which have been stolen by Ms. Tum Tum, a big blue creature with a large appetite.
After a quick tutorial level you'll be thrust into action immediately. The game is divided into four worlds, each of which has 12 stages. You can only tackle four of these stages at a time; to access the next four, you'll have to collect a certain amount of fruit in the already open stages. If you just make it a point to collect all fruit in every stage, you'll be fine: eventually you'll even be able to reach the next four stages without even playing any of the current ones.
The actual gameplay in each of the stages is fairly straightforward: simply collect all the fruit! Chameleons have fairly long tongues, and you'll be taking advantage of that. Most stages have a large number of gaps, with fruit on the other side, and you can even use your tongue to grab them and pull yourself across. It won't be long until stages also have Leon's children for you to rescue. They're collected in the same way as fruit, however, if you grab them from across a gap, you'll pull them towards yourself, rather than the other way around.
Leon's children start off being unimportant, but very quickly come into play. Certain stages feature extra large fruit, which require you to have one or more of your children with you before becoming edible. The amount of chameleons (including yourself) necessary to eat one will be depicted on it, so try to devise a path through the stage which allows you to get children before finding any large fruit.
But everything is not as simple as it sounds. All fruit has different colours, which signifies that Leon can only eat it when he himself is the same colour. All fruit also has leaves on top, which in most cases is a different colour from the fruit itself. After eating a fruit, you'll turn into the colour of the leaves, so most levels only have one or two possible solutions, as you'll have to eat everything in a very speciifc order.
Of course, you're likely to make a mistake or two some time, and the developers have thought of that, incorporating a rewind button that allows you to go one step back as many times as you want, all the way back to the very beginning of the level.
Once you've beaten a world, you'll actually have to fight a boss battle, something quite strange for a game like this. Leon's children play a role once more here, as you'll have to get past an even larger piece of fruit. A power bar will appear on screen with a slider automatically going from left to right – you'll have to stop it within a highlighted section of the bar to successfully fling one of your children at the fruit.
Once you've thrown all your kids, you'll have to continue stopping the slider in the correct section of the bar in order to start eating away at the fruit. The amount of kids you threw at it successfully determines how fast it'll go down, so if you rescued all kids and managed to throw all of them onto the fruit, you're far likelier to win within the time limit.
Although the gameplay is quite addicting, strangely the rest of the game is a bit lacking. Other versions, such as the one for iPhone, looked very clean and smooth, but the DSiWare release is noticeably uglier, and the game's small number of cutscenes all run very choppily. By far the worst is the music, as you'll only hear any on the level select screens: during actual gameplay, the game is completely silent, save for the sounds Leon and his kids make. The level select music would've been perfectly fine for the actual levels as well, so we wonder why the developers didn't simply do that.
On the whole, Super Yum Yum is a pretty fun game. With 48 increasingly hard levels, it will last you a good few hours, at least if you're trying to collect everything. The graphics and (near lack of) music will be off-putting to some, but there's nothing a stereo or a music player on your computer can't solve.

The trailer for this looked fun.
Without music however, I will have to skip this one and wait for DodoGo!
Froggievilleus said:
This is a cute game. And Leon makes noises when eating fruit and such. And to be honest, I usually have the sound off and listen to other stuff while playing games.
Bankai said:
The review doesn't mention how clever the puzzles are in this game - it's really taxing on the brain in places, but at the same time, it's never stressful.
It's actually one of the better puzzlers on DSiWare.

Nepali Spell Checker Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides information on a select list of frequently asked questions and common topics on Nepali Spell Checker. One specific example for each topic is presented with the hope that the information will benefit other users who may be looking for similar information.
Some correct words no longer seem to be considered correct
Apr 4, 2013, Pardeshi - The word ठीक used to be correct, but now the spell checker shows the Raswa form to be the correct form.
NLRC - Thank you for raising an important point. With the wider adoption and the evolution of the Nepali language, various opinions, sometimes conflicting, have been raised on how the language should evolve. On issues like orthography, pronunciation and grammar, there have been conflicting arguments. In order not to adopt one set of arguments over the other and to make the resources provided by NLRC all sides can trust, we strictly follow the guidelines published by Nepal Academy.
With this background, what we are trying to point out is that because we follow the guidelines published by the Academy and the guidelines themselves get updated over time, our app is also continuously updated to reflect the changes to the Academy guidelines. What you highlighted is an example of such change.
Going back to your question, the earlier editions of the official Nepali dictionary used to have the Dirgha form, ठीक, as a valid entry. However, the later editions have removed the Dirgha form and only include the Raswa form, ठिक, meaning "correct," in the dictionary. We do not want to speak for the Academy, but our hunch is that it could be one of the many changes that have been adopted by the Academy as a result of its various efforts to bring Nepali language experts together to work out their differences and come up with common guidelines agreeable to all parties.
Checking compound words
Nov 30, 2014, Manoj Silwal - It would be wonderful if Nepal Spell Checker also checked compound words.
NLRC - Nepali Spell Checker checks simple compound words, e.g., it flags incorrect compound verbs and provides their correct forms as suggestions. Similarly, case endings, number are also checked, so are compound words separated by a hyphen.
Checking documents with non-Unicode fonts
Feb 27, 2015, John Rai - I inserted text in Preeti font, but it did not work.
NLRC - Nepali Spell Checker supports only Unicode fonts. It does not support Preeti font as it is not a Unicode font.
Some words do not seem to be in the database
Apr 4, 2013, Pardeshi - I searched for some words, but do not seem to find them.
NLRC - The most important aspect that has been considered while developing our applications is the quality of data. Rather than aiming for its quantity (correct or incorrect), we have aimed for its quality. Each word is entered manually in the database after it gets approved by subject-matter experts and after it is verified against the official Nepali dictionary and Nepali grammar and orthography rules.
There are pros and cons of this approach. The trade-off obviously is that all words cannot be entered right away. The benefit of this approach, however, is that you can trust the quality of the data and be confident that the suggestions you are getting are accurate.
When it comes to data entry, not all information get the same priority. To make data more relevant, and, most importantly, to ensure that the data our users are more likely to use gets priority, we ensure that the most relevant data gets entered first. NLRC has developed an algorithm to identify words and phrases that are most frequently used in Nepali and keeps a list of such words and phrases in descending order of relevancy. The algorithm tracks common Nepali words and phrases over time and the list is updated on a regular basis. The data entry is done by editors who have a thorough understanding of the Nepali language. During data entry, the editors start from the top of the list to ensure that the most relevant data gets entered first. Learn more.
So, even though a particular word is not available at the moment, it will be entered. When it will be entered depends on how frequently that word is used. If it is a fairly used word, it will most likely be added pretty soon.
Why suggestions do not show up for some incorrect words
Sep 24, 2013, Dass - Suggestions for some incorrect words did not show up. Could you explain the reason for this behavior?
NLRC - The spell checker automatically ignores a term if there are no suggestions available for it. Following two use cases explain this behavior.
If the term is पानि, it knows it is not correct and it tries to generate suggestions, and it will generate the correct form पानी, meaning "water," as a suggestion. Then it will say, "Hey, this does not seem to be correct and here is my suggestion" and provides the user with an option to accept or ignore the suggestion.
If the term is पानिसद, an incorrect term, it knows it is not correct. But in this case, it cannot generate appropriate suggestions. So, instead of saying, "Hey, this does not seem to be correct, and I do not have any suggestions for it," it will ignore the term and move on to the next term.
Please refer to the documentation for more information.
One of the enhancements to the app under consideration is an ability to switch to "strict checking mode," where an incorrect term for which suggestions are not available are also pointed out to the user. Let us know if that is something that you'd be interested in.
Sep 24, 2013, Dass - Thank you for your response. The strict mode, which you mentioned, would be much helpful for everyone who uses the app and for me it would be much more useful. I checked an entire document of 36 pages and corrected almost around 250 mistakes; adding additional facilities would make this app a resort. I will recommend this app to people who are in my contact.
NLRC - Your continued interest has given us more reasons to give this request a higher priority.
We have made improvements to our processes to better serve our user community. One of the changes is our new Enhancement Request submission process that has been implemented to provide a better visibility to our users on the status of their Enhancement Requests and not to lose track of many requests we receive. Please submit an Enhancement Request for this feature. Your request will be delivered to the right folks and given the appropriate priority. The Product Management team will get in touch with you if they need additional information on your request.
Thank you for continuing to use Nepali Spell Checker and for providing suggestions to make it better.

Part of Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 36 (NeurIPS 2023) Main Conference Track
Shurui Gui, Meng Liu, Xiner Li, Youzhi Luo, Shuiwang Ji
We tackle the problem of graph out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. Existing graph OOD algorithms either rely on restricted assumptions or fail to exploit environment information in training data. In this work, we propose to simultaneously incorporate label and environment causal independence (LECI) to fully make use of label and environment information, thereby addressing the challenges faced by prior methods on identifying causal and invariant subgraphs. We further develop an adversarial training strategy to jointly optimize these two properties for casual subgraph discovery with theoretical guarantees. Extensive experiments and analysis show that LECI significantly outperforms prior methods on both synthetic and real-world datasets, establishing LECI as a practical and effective solution for graph OOD generalization.

Just in case you thought drills are the product of 21st century home improvement television programs, maritime archaeologists have proof that bow drills were used as far back as 400 B.C. by the Greek Phocaeans who resided in the western area of modern-day Turkey. (Actually, bow drills are well known even earlier, and were recovered, for example, from the Uluburun Shipwreck dated to the end of the 14th century BCE).
In contrast to the rather mundane uses of modern drills (mainly drilling holes for construction), bow drills were multipurpose – aside from serving for drilling and construction purposes, the bow drill also made fire and was an important tool widely used in wood working, boat building and even dentistry.
A wooden bow drill was found on the Ma'agan Mikhael Shipwreck discovered in 1985 70 m off shore Kibbutz Maagan Mikhael, along Israel's Mediterranean coast. The ship was excavated, dismantled under water, conserved over a period of seven years and reassembled at the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa. The artifacts including the bow drill were excavated and retrieved for research in the laboratory on shore. However, from the bow drill only the wood remained, with a hollow and several small wooden cleats that apparently secured a bit; its metal did not survive. Recently, as part of the conservation procedure for this unique item, archaeologists cleaned the drill, including its inner recess, and found minute remains and traces of metal, but its characteristics are not known. The shape of the recess inside the wood could not be traced, nor could we ascertain the shape of the metal bit that did not survive.
Yaacov Kahanov, Head of the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies, notes that this particular wooden drill is well preserved. "We want to understand how the tool was structured. What kind of metal served as the drill's bit? What was its shape? How was the carpenter / shipbuilder able to ensure that the bit wouldn't come loose during usage?"
Using RayzorX Pro digital radiography system, the bow drill was X-rayed from several angles. The detailed, sharp images resulting from averaging and the use of cutting-edge enhancement tools indicated that remnants of metal were still present in the wood although the bit had disappeared. Prof. Kahanov notes: "The X-ray images indicate that there was an iron blade embedded in the wooden bow. The blade obviously corroded, staining the wood and leaving traces of metal behind."
He adds: "Rayzor Digital Radiography imaging even enables us to see the grooves left by the bowstring. But aside from this, the sharp X-ray images indicate that the blade's bottom section was square, a shape which artisans apparently realized a century ago optimizes anchoring and stress-resistance. The structure of the tool is brilliant, but we wouldn't have been aware of this if it weren't for the advanced digital X-ray equipment used."

Sir David Lyndsay's
A SATIRE OF THE THREE ESTATES
Published in: Paperback.
By: Association for Scottish Literary Studies, 2009
Sir David Lyndsay's A Satire of the Three Estates is the earliest complete Scottish play on record, dating from the middle of the sixteenth century. By turns funny and formal, obscene and ceremonial, and filled with sharp social commentary, it is a confident expression of dramatic prowess.
John Corbett's Scotnote examines the historical background, explores the play's language and style, and gives a concise introduction to this key work in the Scottish theatrical tradition. These notes are suitable for senior school pupils and students at all levels.

What's the difference between these 'falses' (שקר and שוא?), how does one distinguish them from one another?
Or are these kind of testimonies and utterings the same?
Short answer
שֶׁקֶר and שָׁוְא are partially synonymous. שֶׁקֶר is a lie. שָׁוְא carries multiple related meanings - lie, false, null, nothing, for nothing, vain etc.
 - עֵד שָׁקֶר - Loosely "Liar witness", synonymous to עֵד שָׁוְא.
 - שֵׁמַע שָׁוְא - Seems to mean either "Liar witness" or "False witness".
Long answer
Pronounced "Shav". Can be translated to:
I found the word 204 times in the Bible, and the meaning varies according to the context.
Pronounced "Sheker".
שֶׁקֶר is a lie, שקרן is a liar, שבועת שקר is perjury (literally - "lie oath").
There word appears 391 times in the bible. It seems that most of the times it carries the meaning of a plain lie.
| improve this answer | |
 - thank you, P.s. I thought there might be a little nuance between the form of the lie or falsehood presented by each word. First I was thinking of something like Falsity vs Lie. But it seems to be more subtle. One שקר seems to be about twisting the truth, leaving out parts of truth, or just telling parts of truth etc. which simply sum up means lying. But the other seem to be more a kind of lie made out of thin air, without a base or proper arguments; they are vain, null, made up and false. What do you think? – Levi Dec 31 '16 at 21:15

 Welcome to the site Adam. Thanks for the answer. Note that questions about the Hebrew language are of-topic here. This question is only on topic inasmuch as it asks about the definition of Biblical phrases and laws. To answer such a question, authoritative sources should be cited; not just modern Hebrew equivalents. Consider learning more about the site from this short Beginners' Guide: meta.judaism.stackexchange.com/a/3887/8775. – mevaqesh Jan 1 '17 at 0:44
 - _USER_ - Thanks for the clarification, will certainly do. – Adam Matan Jan 1 '17 at 6:22
 - _USER_ I think you got it right. – Adam Matan Jan 1 '17 at 6:23
The Gemara in Shavuos 21a says
מיתיבי אי זו היא שבועת שוא נשבע לשנות את הידוע לאדם שבועת שקר נשבע להחליף אימא נשבע ומחליף
What is a שבועת שוא? That is to change what is known to man. [What is a] שבועת שקר? Someone who makes an oath to change. Rather say, he makes an oath and changed.
Rashi says:
נשבע להחליף - לשנות את האמת בשבועתו היינו לשעבר כגון אכלתי ולא אכל לא אכלתי ואכל:
אימא נשבע ומחליף - נשבע לעשות ואחר כך החליף את דברו ולא עשה או שלא לעשות ועשה:
Makes and oath to change - to change the truth with his oath about the past. For example, [he says] 'I ate', but he didn't eat. 'I didn't eat' [but] he did.
Rather say makes an oath and changes - He makes an oath to do something and then changes his words and doesn't do. Or [he makes an oath] not to do [something] and he does.
The Malbim explains שוא
שגדר השוא בדיוק הוא דבר שאין בו ממש שנדע לכל שאין ממש בדבריו
The parameter of שוא exactly is something that has no substance, that it is known to all there is no substance to his words.
And he explains שקר
ששקר הוא היפך המציאות
That שקר is the opposite of the reality.
שקר would be something that has some benefit or substance to it in some facet, whether the speaker gains something by the lie, or the lie could possibly be true or is true in some facet. שוא lacks any sort of benefit or substance to it.
| improve this answer | |
According to the Etymological Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew based on the commentaries of Samson Raphael Hirsch by Mattityahu Clark, the root שוא means to lack value and content (e.g. vanity; taking G-d's Name in vain), whilst the root שקר means to lie deliberately or to express falsehood.

Welcome to the Milestones main page. Milestones (also known as milliaria or lapides) were an integral part of the Roman road system. The Roman mile (mille passum) was measured by 1,000 paces with each pace being five Roman feet. Therefore one Roman mile would equal 5,000 feet or about 1, 480 meters/4,850 ft. in today's measurements.
Milestones were used to mark distances on the ancient Roman road systems. These obelisks were made of marble or granite and can still be found today with their inscriptions weathered, but still readable. Many milestones have been moved from their original positions to be put in museums, to make way for modern roads, and to be removed from farmers' fields.
Milestones were in use by the Romans already in the Republican period, but became much more common in the provinces from Augustus on. Some were erected along the unpaved major highways of Anatolia already in the second century B.C. Milestones would have been erected at the time of the construciton of the Via Sebaste, the first paved road in the region.
The milestones were simple pillars of stone with inscriptions that included a distance from the start or "head" of the road (caput viae), the name of the Roman official in charge of the construction (or repair work), as well as the name the current consul (during the Republican period) or emperor. In Anatolia the inscriptions were normally bilingual (Latin and Greek).
For a complete list of known milestones in the various sections of Anatolia, see the recent volumes of David French available at the British Institute At Ankara website: BIA electronic monographs.

New Horizons is PIRSA's soil modification and improvement program. Through projects and collaborations, PIRSA is investigating and trialling new advances in soil science and management and delivering that information direct to farmers across South Australia.
About 40% of the area currently under broadacre agriculture in South Australia – about 4.1 million hectares - has soil issues which limit agricultural production.
Estimates reveal a potential to add an additional $800 million in agricultural production per annum in South Australia by improving soils with production constraints.
Key funding partners and collaborators with the New Horizons Soil Improvement Program are the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC), the CRC for High Performance Soils, and other delivery partners across southern Australia.
PIRSA's soil research and extension work is largely undertaken by its Rural Solutions SA and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) divisions.
PIRSA's New Horizons Soil Improvement Program encompasses the following key areas:
- Sandy soils
- Acid soils
- Subsoil constraints
- Soil carbon
- Soil protection
- Precision agriculture
- Other soil services
The continued research trials and new partnerships, in this area of soil improvement, will help to broaden the research findings and build stronger collaboration and connection with industry.

|Control of Voltage Source Inverter Using Multidimensional Feedback Quantization Modulator
Institute of Electrical and Control Engineering
|Feedback quantization;optimal control;three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI)
|This paper describes a novel switching signal generator for three-phase voltage source inverters. Unlike conventional space-vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) which achieves three-phase input voltage by a combination of the basic space vectors, the proposed scheme produces optimal switching commands to minimize the filtered measure of quantization error. Under specific selections of the filter matrix and the quantization scheme, it is shown that the proposed modulator is equivalent to SVPWM. An experimental platform is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. It is shown that the switching number of the proposed method is reduced without sacrificing the harmonic distortion within the input frequency band under various reference signals.

IBM Rational Change: Highlight on the ListBox "Any" default value
Technote (troubleshooting)
Every ListBox created (or already present by default) in the IBM Rational Change's "ListBox Manager" is supposed to have a default value, commonly called "Any".
This document gives better understanding on the impact of modifying this default value, and gives general guidelines on how to fix your database if this value is missing or inconsistent.
The following situations are clarified below:
 - If your Listboxes don't display the value "Any"
 - If you have changed your default value but still see "Any" in your Listboxes
 - If you see both values ("Any" and your new default value)
 - If some of your Listboxes show one of the symptoms above, and some other ListBoxes inconsistently how another one of the symptoms above.
Every value present in a ListBox is read from the file "pt_listbox.cfg", which doesn't get modified if you edit the file "pt.cfg" that contains the default value "Any".
Therefore, your ListBoxes might not necessarily reflect the changes you made to your default value.
Resolving the problem
Please note that the information present in this Technote is not meant to help you customize IBM Rational Change.
This is only a general highlight on Change's default value, meant at helping you fix your ListBoxes (and the underlying database attributes) if you mistakenly damaged them.
This information has been tested with IBM Rational Change patch 07, but most likely applies to the whole 5.x generation.
1. What is the default value?
The "default" value may also be called the "undefined" value.
It is the value that will be displayed and selected in an IBM Rational Change ListBox if the corresponding attribute was actually not given any of the "real" values also present in the ListBox.
2. The default value is mandatory
By default, Rational Change offers the default value "Any". You should see that value in every single ListBox.
When you use Change's ListBox Manager (as an administrator), Change doesn't allow you:
- to remove it
- to duplicate it
3. How does Change identify the default value?
 3.1. When you are in the ListBox Manager
 Change compares the ListBox entry that you are trying to modify with the default value defined in the file "pt.cfg" (as follows):
 If you change that value in the file, and then reload Change's configuration (admin interface --> "General" --> "Load"), then you will witness that Change immediately prevents you from tempering with that new default value in the ListBox Manager.
 You will also witness that you are now free to temper with the now-obsolete default value (e.g. "Any"), as it now has no particular meaning.
 CAUTION: You might witness a few glitches while you use the ListBox manager, during the transition (as you are not supposed to act this way):
 For example, you might witness that all entries of that ListBox get actually deleted when you save them, until Change finds again that your ListBox contains consistent values, especially the default value. Therefore, act carefully if you find yourself in the situation described above.
 3.2. When you are in Change (user interface)
 We assume the admin has reloaded Change's configuration (admin interface --> "General" --> "Load").
 Then Change will display in each ListBox the values it has read from pt_listbox.cfg (which defines every ListBox). (Exception: Dependent listboxes are generated "on the fly", therefore you might immediately observe any change made in either pt_listbox.cfg or pt.cfg).
 The default value is considered to be the very first entry of the ListBox, whatever it may be (that is, the entry with id 0).
 That is because:
 - As explained earlier, a default value is always expected to be present in each ListBox.
 - On an HTTP form, a "listbox" is always set to one of the values it contains. It can't be set to "blank".
 3.3. In the underlying Synergy/Informix database
 For optimisation reasons, Change simply does not save an attribute that has an undefined (that is, "default") value. If you run queries on a CR, you will see that it does not contain any of the undefined attributes.
 Symmetrically, an attribute that is expected in a CR but is found not to exist in the database, will be considered by Change as "undefined", and will therefore be rendered with the "default" value.
 Note: You might still witness such output in your event.log file, but it's only to make the information more readable. If the attribute is undefined, then it does not exist in the database.
4. What inconsistencies should I be prepared to observe?
 4.1. An attribute I know as being set to "default" ("Any") still appears to be set to an actual value
 This is a direct consequence of 3.2.
 Ask yourself: "Is it the first ListBox entry?" - "Where has my expected default value, that should be the first entry, gone?").
 In reality, the attribute actually has no value (i.e. it has the default value), even though the very first ListBox entry seems to be selected.
 4.2. Some of my ListBoxes show one default value (e.g. "Any"), and some others show a different default value (e.g. "MyDefaultValue")
 See 3.2. for an explanation. Are some of them dependent ListBoxes?
 See 4.3 for a solution.
 4.3. I have changed my default value in pt.cfg, but not all my ListBoxes offer to select it
 That's because the ListBoxes entries are read from "pt_listbox.cfg", which is not necessarily re-generated after you modify "pt.cfg".
 You need to force Change to re-generate pt_listbox.cfg, so that every ListBox it contains has a default value matching the one from pt.cfg. Until that becomes true, you will find yourself in a dangerous state of inconsistency (see caution from 3.1).
 In order to do so, you can :
 a. Manually modify/add/remove some entries in the ListBox manager, as described in 3.1, until you end up with the entries you wish to see AND the new default value (re-read from pt.cfg by Change as you save your ListBox).
 As explained in 3.1, you might lose all your ListBox entries at some stage. But provided you remember what they should be, and provided you need change only a few ListBoxes, then this is a rather user-friendly fix.
 b. Edit pt_listbox.cfg and update the first entry of each ListBox to match the default value from pt.cfg.
 This is the cleanest and safest solution.
 4.4. The attributes in the Printer Friendly View don't have the same values as in the CR I'm viewing.
 This is a variation of 4.1.
 The Printer Friendly view is right.
 However the form you're currently watching displays flawed information, for the reason explained in 4.1.

As far as I can tell within an Fourier Transform Spectrometer the spectral information is gained from changing the path length along one arm, this sounds very similar to a michelson interferometer but using two apertures instead of one.
So are there any underlying differences between the two?

1 Answer 1
up vote 1 down vote accepted
You are right, fourier transform spectrometer is just a scanning Michelson interferometer. In spectroscopic applications these are just synonims. Spectral information is a fourier transform of intensity dependence on path length, thus the name. Usually a term wavemeter is used, meaning some interferometric device to measure wavelength, including FTS as well as Fabry–Pérot interferometers.

Room in nature
A tribute to nature
In 2014, a spark started the largest forest fires in modern Swedish history. 14,000 hectares of forest burned up. But the devastation also created the conditions for new life and Hälleskogsbrännans nature reserve was founded. The visitor center began as part of Mikael Hassel's Thesis project at the School of Architecture. After graduation, the project won the contract for a new visitor center. Mikael worked with the project together with pS Arkitektur and it was built in 2017.
The project's two materials, graying timber and black painted steel together with charred details, symbolize the forest and the forest fire. The buildings consist of compact volumes. The log timber tradition has inspired the form and details. Simple grips such as rotated roof ridges create directions for outlooks and allows, for example, the gallery roof of the outdoor classroom. The buildings are located along a 300 meter long handicap accessible ramp uphill Grävlingsberget. Wc building is located at the start of the ramp. Second, the outdoor classroom with gallery roof and outdoor space under the roof for teaching and barbecue. Information along the ramp tell about the recovery of the nature. The ramp ends with a handicap accessible viewing area and a 12 meter high viewing tower with a wide view of both fire-damaged and fresh forests. The viewing tower consists of three compact volumes stacked on each other and twisted to achieve varied views. In the area there are also barbecue areas and star-show sofas in the same design as the rest of the project.

Enabling the Monitoring API
Before you can use the Monitoring API, you must enable it and authorize users to access it.
This page describes how to enable and authorize use of the Monitoring API v3.
Enabling the API
The Monitoring API must be enabled before it can be used. You can check the status and enable the API if necessary by using either the Cloud SDK gcloud command-line tool or the Google Cloud Console.
Cloud SDK
 1. If you have not already installed the Cloud SDK on your workstation, see Cloud SDK.
 2. To see if the Monitoring API is enabled, run the following command on your workstation:
 gcloud services list
 If monitoring.googleapis.com appears in the output, the API is enabled.
 3. If the API is not enabled, run the following command to enable it:
 gcloud services enable monitoring
For more information, see gcloud services.
Cloud Console
Go to APIs & services
 1. Select the project you will use to access the API.
 2. Click the Enable APIs and Service button.
 3. Search for "Monitoring".
 4. In the search results, click through to "Stackdriver Monitoring API".
 5. If "API enabled" is displayed, then the API is already enabled. If not, click the Enable button.
Authorizing use of the API
Access to the API is controlled by Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions. There is a permission associated with each method, and permissions for related methods are clustered into roles, which can then be granted to users. See Access control for more information.
Once access to the API is authorized, the API can be used from anywhere. For example, you can use the timeSeries.list method from your local workstation. You can also use the API to send metrics against any entity that can be represented as a monitored resource. See Choosing a monitored-resource type for the list of available types. However, the Cloud Monitoring agent is designed to run on a cloud VM and does not work on a local workstation.
If you are writing an application that uses the Monitoring API, the recommended client libraries authorize your application using Application Default Credentials. This hides authorization details from your application code.
You might also be able to use API keys in some situations, but service accounts are generally recommended. API keys are useful in clients like browsers and mobile applications that don't have a backend server. For more information, see Using API Keys.
You can find out more about authentication and authorization for Cloud APIs in our Authentication guide.
Using client libraries
After you have enabled and authorized the use of the API, you are ready to start writing code. See Client libraries to get started using the Monitoring client libraries.

It's not exactly a shock to learn that a lot of young people go online just to pass the time away or to have fun. A new study from Pew Internet has apparently confirmed that assumption. In a survey of 2,260 adults, 81 percent of the people who were between the ages of 18 to 29 said that they have gone online on occasion just to have some fun or pass the time. Indeed, 53 percent of the people in that same age bracket said that at the time of the survey, they had gone online just to have fun the previous day.
The survey results show that the older a person gets, the less likely they are to just go online to pass the time away. 66 percent of people aged 30-49 admitted to spending time on the Internet at some point for no particular reason. 50 percent of people aged 50-64 said that they surfed the Internet in that way but only 23 percent of people aged 65 or above said they used the Internet for no specific reason.
Pew Internet claims that these results are higher than when they asked the same questions to a survey group in 2009 and much higher than the survey results taken in the middle of the last decade.
So what does all of this really mean? The research group says this rise of "fun" Internet use has coincided with the rise of faster broadband connections, the increase of social networking and the use of more video on the Internet.
It added, "All of those factors are strongly associated with people who use the internet for fun: If they have broadband, if they are online video consumers, if they use social media of any kind – especially social networking sites – they are much more likely than others to go online to pass the time."

It was whilst flicking through Professor Alan S. C. Ross's book 'Don't Say It' that I stumbled merrily upon these two terms, which were both new to me. A pre-lactarian is someone who pours their milk into their tea or coffee before the hot water; a post-lactarian is someone who adds milk last.
But which method is correct? Well, there is no strict answer to this. It has its roots in class distinction.
In previous eras, adding the milk in before the hot water was always done by the 'downstairs' of the big houses, who would have pottery mugs. These mugs did not react too well to the boiling water, and thus the cold milk was poured in first so that it instantly cooled the water and thus the mugs survived in one piece.
Meanwhile, in the 'upstairs' of the house, where they could afford cups and saucers made from china or porcelain, the milk could be added after the hot water, as the cups were able to cope with the boiling water as they were made from a more resilient material.
As to who actually invented the terms pre and post-lactarian, I do not know and I am still researching, but they are much grander than some of the terms one could use instead!

Does Cultural Sensitivity Matter to Maintaining Business Relationships in the Export Markets?: An empirical investigation in the Norwegian seafood industry
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study is twofold. The first aim is to develop the cultural sensitivity concept. A review of literature, including literature focusing on international business, marketing, and adaptive selling, has provided the basis from where the cultural sensitivity concept has been developed. This study proposes a model of the concept as multi-dimensional. Cultural sensitivity is perceived as a competence, held by a person responsible for sales in the export markets. Experience is viewed as essential to advance a salesperson's cultural sensitivity. The dimensions, and thus the variables composing cultural sensitivity, are as follows: international experience, country experience, open-mindedness, adaptive business style, and ongoing business experience. The measurement scales were adopted from previous research, but were accommodated to the context studied. The second aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which the various dimensions of cultural sensitivity are important to the maintaining of business relationships in export marketing channel contexts. The empirical setting is the Norwegian seafood export industry with selected business partners in the export markets. The sample consists of 111 cases, and regression analyses were conducted to test 12 hypotheses. The conceptual model proposes that the five variables that compose cultural sensitivity have different roles. International experience, country experience and open-mindedness are hypothesised to have an impact on relational qualities (trust between exchange partners and exchange of information) indirectly through adaptive business style. The findings give support to this view. These three variables do not have significant effects on trust and exchange of information directly. The findings show that country experience and open-mindedness have positive and significant effects on an adaptive business style. The findings show that adaptive business style does not have a significant impact on trust between exchange partners. Adaptive business style has a significant impact on exchange of information, though only at a p <.10 level. Ongoing business experience is viewed as a moderator variable. It is expected to strengthen the relationship between adaptive business style and trust, and the relationship between adaptive business style and exchange of information. The results show that the former relationship is strengthened from a non-significant to a significant relationship. The significance is though only at a p <.10 level.

The Knotting of Equilateral Polygons in R-cubed
It was proved in that the knotting probability of a Gaussian random polygon goes to 1 as the length of the polygon goes to infinity. In this paper, we prove the same result for the equilateral random polygons in R3. More precisely, if EPn is an equilateral random polygon of n steps, then we have
P(EPn is knotted) > 1 - exp(-n∊)
provided that n is large enough, where ∊ is some positive constant.

Unlike battlesuits (whose weight capacity is fixed for a particular body style), mecha may upgrade their chassis in order to increase their weight capacity.
Strength Cost Modifier Max. Weight Modifier
Standard 0 None
Heavy +50% +10%
X-Heavy +100% +20%
Super-Heavy +400% +40%
Arms & Legs
The legs of a humanoid mecha are equal to 60% of the mecha's body spaces. Therefore, each leg has 30% of the body spaces. The arms are each equal to 20% of the body spaces. For example, the legs of a light mecha (with 20 body spaces) are 6 spaces each and the arms are 4 spaces each. Leg armor is half the cost and weight of torso armor. Arm armor is one-quarter the cost and weight of torso armor. The cost and weight is rounded down to the nearest whole number.
A humanoid mecha's turret is equal to 10% of the body spaces (rounded up). It has a traverse and elevation equal to a normal human head. The costs & weights for the various sizes of humanoid mecha turrets are listed below.
Size Cost Weight Internal Spaces
2-space $2,000 200 lbs 1
3-space $3,000 300 lbs 1
5-space $5,000 500 lbs 2
8-space $8,000 800 lbs 2
10-space $10,000 1,000 lbs 3
15-space $15,000 1,500 lbs 4
20-space $20,0000 2,000 lbs 5
Power Plants
Power plants of fixed size are an in-efficient use of the space available in a mecha's torso. In order to economize on the use of this interior space, modular power plants were developed. These are of three different types; electric, nuclear battery, fusion.
Type Cost/space Weight/space DP/space Power Factors
Electric $1,000 75 lbs 2 1,000/space
Electric power plants are compact, high-capacity batteries. They may use platinum catalysts and superconductors. Extra power cells are the normal cost and weight. Electric power plants store power units equal to (DP x 100). They are expended at the rate of (PU x current speed/maximum speed x 400).
Type Cost Weight DP Power Factors
Nuclear Battery $100,000 +$5,000 per space 500 lbs +100 lbs per space Spc 2,000/space
Nuclear batteries do not sustain a fission reaction. Instead, they use arrays of thermocouples to convert the heat released by radioactive decay into electricity. Nuclear batteries last for one year. They can only be refueled at facilities specially designed for that purpose. Refueling costs 20% of the battery's cost. A nuclear battery has an armored casing with 30 DP of metal armor. Inside this casing is the core, which has 10 DP. Damage to the core will reduce the battery's power capacity by 10% for every DP lost. When the last core DP is destroyed, it will begin to leak radiation (treat as a spill of mid-level radioactive waste).
Type Cost Weight DP Power Factors
Fusion $500,000 + $50,000 per space 250 lbs + 50 lbs per space Spc 4,000/space
Fusion power plants are small-scale fusion reactors. They are experimental items only, and are being considered for use by the military. Fusion power plants have the same DP as nuclear batteries. A core breach has the effects of a hit from a heavy flamer (see Ultra-Tech Car Wars). Note that the damage is taken internally.
Acceleration, Top speed & Handling
All sizes of mecha will accelerate at the rate of 5 mph per turn. Mecha drivetrains are highly efficient (even more so than battlesuit drivetrains). Accordingly, the formula (100 x power factors/power factors + weight) is used to determine top speed. Top speeds are rounded up to the nearest 5 mph.
 Mecha of any size handle differently than tracked or wheeled vehicles. Small mecha are more maneuverable than their larger cousins, but are less stable. Conversely, larger mecha are less maneuverable than smaller mecha and more stable. Accordingly, all mecha have the following modifiers to their crash table rolls; Small/medium: +2, Large/heavy: +1, x-hvy: 0, Super-heavy: -1. Titan: -2. These modifiers are cumulative with those provided by pilot skill and mecha speed.
 Small, medium and large mecha may make any maneuver of up to D4 hazard without risk. Maneuvers of D5 or greater will force an automatic control roll. Mecha of any larger size can only perform maneuvers of up to D3 hazard without risk. An automatic control roll is required if they attempt maneuvers of D4 or greater. Failure of these rolls requires a roll on the mecha crash table.
 Mecha can operate off-road without penalty. They may also move underwater at up to half-speed (maximum of 30 mph) and half acceleration.
Mecha Crash Table
2 or less: Trivial skid. Mecha keeps same orientation, but moves 1/4" in the direction it was moving before the maneuver in which it lost control.
3-4: Minor skid. As above, but mecha skids ½". No speed is lost.
5-6: Moderate skid. Mecha skids 3/4" and decelerates by 5 mph. On the next move, it performs a trivial skid.
7-8: Major skid. Mecha skids 1" and decelerates by 10 mph. The mecha performs a minor skid on its next move.
9-10: Severe skid. Mecha turns sideways and skids 1", decelerating by 10 mph per turn. The mecha has a 50% chance per turn of falling over. If this happens, the side which hits the ground takes sideswipe damage. A mecha pilot can attempt to recover from the skid by rolling for control at HC -6. Failure means that the skid continues. Success means that the mecha stops skidding and move normally in the direction it faces.
11-12: Fall. As above, except that the mecha falls over and takes sideswipe damage (multiplied by the mecha's damage modifier). It skids 1" per inch of movement, decelerating by 10 mph per turn. The mecha may not get up until the skid is done.
13-14: As above, except that the mecha takes full ram damage on the side which hits the ground (as if it had run directly into a wall).
15 or greater: Mecha falls over (as per results of 11-12), with a 50% chance of falling to the front or back. The mecha strikes its head on the ground and takes full ram damage to it. After impact, the mecha skids 1" per turn (taking normal sideswipe damage). The pilot is stunned by the impact (roll for results on the ram concussion table) and takes 1 point of damage. The use of impact armor will prevent the damage and will add a -2 bonus to the roll for stunning effects.
 This table is also used in cases where control rolls are required because of the hazards from weapons fire or collisions. When skids are made or rolls called for, they will be done in the direction opposite from the attack.
Physical Attacks
All mecha can punch once every three turns or kick once every five turns, causing half-damage to vehicles and buildings.
Mecha Size Damage/attack
Small 4d punch/8d kick
Medium 6d punch/12d kick
Large 8d punch/16d kick
Heavy 10d punch/20d kick
X-heavy 14d punch/28d kick
Super-heavy 18d punch/36d kick
Titan 20d punch/40d kick
If a mecha kicks at a target and misses, the pilot must make a control roll to prevent his machine from falling. This roll is adjusted by the modifiers from pilot skill and mecha size.
A mecha pilot can attack targets by jumping his machine up in the air and landing on top of them. This attack is known as the "piledriver" or "death from above". Success or failure is determined by rolling 2d6 and adding the level of pilot skill. A roll of 9 or better means that the mecha has landed on top of the target, inflicting 10d damage (multiplied by the mecha's damage modifier). Failure means that the mecha misses the target and lands normally. A roll of 2-3 means that the mecha falls.
Mecha can easily lift their own body weight above their heads. If the lifted object is ½ the mecha's body weight, it can be thrown a distance of 1d-3". If the object is 1/4 the mecha's body weight or less, it can be thrown 1d+2".
Mecha use full-size versions of all types of weapons. Weapons mounted in mecha arms are automatically stabilized at no extra cost or weight. Weapons mounted in the torso may have auto-stabilizers fitted at the normal cost and weight.
Mecha weapons may have magazines mounted with them in the same location, or in an immediately-adjacent body space. For example, an autocannon mounted

Reaches Settlement with Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe for
Water Pollution Violations:
Substantial Reductions of Air Emissions and Water Pollutants
(03/156) TRENTON - New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner
Bradley M. Campbell today announced two settlement agreements
with Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe (Atlantic States), Warren
County, for multiple violations of the New Jersey Air Pollution
Control and Water Pollution Control Acts. The total penalty
for both settlements is nearly $1.4 million.
"Atlantic States appears ready to
reverse its past history of environmental noncompliance
and has now made an enforceable commitment to reduce toxic
air pollution emissions and closely adhere to water pollution
control measures required to protect public health and the
environment," said Commissioner Campbell. "The
company has taken an important first step toward compliance
by switching to a new type of paint that will prevent the
emission of hundreds of tons of air pollution each year."
Under the settlement agreement, Atlantic
States must reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds,
which contribute to the formation of ozone, by an estimated
350 tons annually. This reduction will be achieved by substituting
water-based paint for the asphalt-based paint typically
used in the industry to coat cast iron pipes. In addition,
Atlantic States submitted an application to modify its Air
Pollution Control Operating Permit to reflect the addition
of its paint spray operation. The facility also must evaluate
the type of emission controls or other measures needed to
meet its air pollution emission limits that will be specified
in the new permit.
"This settlement demonstrates our
commitment to addressing in-state sources of pollution at
the same time that we are vigorously pursuing out-of state
sources," said Attorney General Peter C. Harvey. "We
will continue to be vigilant in our enforcement of environmental
To address its stormwater violations, Atlantic
States commissioned a new stormwater collection and reuse
system and closed three of four outfall pipes, which discharge
into the Delaware River.
Atlantic States manufactures cast iron
pipes by processing recycled scrap metal through a melting
furnace to produce a base molten iron. Once cast, the pipes
are coated with paint. As a result of the process, the facility
emits carbon monoxide, particulate matter and other air
Between 1999 and 2002, the DEP issued 10
enforcement orders and penalty assessments to Atlantic States
for exceeding air pollution limits for carbon monoxide,
for illegally installing and operating a paint spray operation
without proper air pollution permits, for exceeding emission
standards of particulate matter and nickel compounds, and
for allowing emissions to bypass air pollution controls.
Atlantic States also was fined for failure
to keep proper records and submit stack emission test results.
To settle the air pollution violations, Atlantic States
will pay the state a $1 million penalty in three installments,
which will be paid in full by March 2004.
In addition to air pollution violations,
between 1997 through 2001, Atlantic States violated water
pollution limits regulated by its DEP permit and failed
to sample and analyze its stormwater discharge. Atlantic
States discharges stormwater to the Delaware River through
the Town of Phillipsburg's municipal storm sewer system.
To settle its water pollution violations, Atlantic States
will pay the state a $381,648 penalty plus interest to be
paid in full by 2004.
In both cases, Atlantic States admits no

the DEP and Atlantic States for both air and water pollution
violations are available upon request.

Moses, Jesus, and the Trickster in the Evangelical South - Paul Harvey
Moses, Jesus, and the Trickster in the Evangelical South
Moses, Jesus, and the Trickster in the Evangelical South
0 0 5 Scritto da: Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey uses four characters that are important symbols of religious expression in the American South to survey major themes of religion, race, and southern history.
The figure of Moses helps us better understand how whites saw themselves as a chosen people in situations of suffering and war and how Africans and African Americans reworked certain stories in the Bible to suit their own purposes. By applying the figure of Jesus to the central concerns of life, Harvey argues, southern evangelicals were instrumental in turning him into an American figure. The ghostly presence of the Trickster, hovering at the edges of the sacred world, sheds light on the Euro-American and African American folk religions that existed alongside Christianity. Finally, Harvey explores twentieth-century renderings of the biblical story of Absalom in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom and in works from Toni Morrison and Edward P. Jones.
Harvey uses not only biblical and religious sources but also draws on literature, mythology, and art. He ponders the troubling meaning of "religious freedom" for slaves and later for blacks in the segregated South. Through his cast of four central characters, Harvey reveals diverse facets of the southern religious experience, including conceptions of ambiguity, darkness, evil, and death.

text: The ballast layer is intended to provide a free draining base and sufficient bearing capacity to maintain a proper track alignment. Due to the growth in commuter and industrial traffic, the railway industry needs to fulfil the demands for faster, heavier, and longer trains. However, these high traffic loads often result in a large plastic deformations and degradation of ballast, which in turn, leads to a significant loss of track stability and high maintenance costs. The deformation and degradation of ballast are influenced by factors such as the amplitude and frequency of loading, the number of load cycles, track confining pressure, gradation of aggregates, and the angularity and fracture strength of individual particles. The use of geocomposite (biaxial geogrid-nonwoven geotextile) for enhancing the performance of rail tracks was described, with the aim of reducing track settlement, increasing track resiliency, and decreasing ballast degradation. The effects of impact loads on ballast degradation and its mitigation due to the installation of resilient mats (shock mats) beneath rail tracks were studied using large-scale drop hammer equipment. It has been shown that for tracks built on soft formations, prefabricated vertical drains significantly decrease the build-up of excess pore-water pressure during cyclic loading. A preliminary finite element analysis was used to examine the performance of vertical drains, and a Class A prediction was obtained in terms of settlements, excess pore pressures, and lateral displacements under rail tracks.

Creep and Shrinkage Effects On Columns
Creep (CR) and Shrinkage (SH) forces due to long term prestress shortening produce imposed deformations on bridge columns at the bents. These deformations, in turn, produce column moments and shears which must be considered as part of the design process. The magnitude of the imposed deformations on the columns is in question and should be investigated by looking at various frame configurations and foundation types. Phenomena such as relaxation and foundation flexibility can reduce the effects of these forces and should be quantified.

Please, I want to join these two tables and select seven (7)
best subjects including English Language and Mathematics. Out of Nine subjects.
I need help.
I belive it is generally a bad idea to filter on id's, and looking at your query, you filter on class_id in the subjects table. You probably have a class table that this id points to, so you might want to join in this table and then filter on the name of the class instead.
But that was not what you're asking - actually I'm not exactly sure, what it is, you're asking!
Are you saying, you want to see:
 - 7 results in total
 - 2 results must always be Mathematics and English Language
 - 5 results must be highest score (total) excluding Mathematics and English (as they are always shown)
select top(7)
 a.subject_name
 ,b.test1
 ,b.test2
 ,b.total
 ,b.grad
 from subjects as a
 inner join results as b
 on b.subject_id=a.subject_id
 and b.admin_no=2100
 where a.class_id=4 /* <--- bad idea */
 order by case when a.subject_name in ('English Language','Mathematics') then 0 else 1 end
 ,b.total desc

Now - the above query works on Microsoft SQL Server, but it seems you might be using MySQL. If so, the top statement won't work - You'd have to use limit instead.

Thank you so much.
Can you help me restructure the query below to count only the best 7 subjects in a class.
It's counting all the 9 subjects.
SELECT admin_no, ROUND(SUM(total) / COUNT(result_id),2) AS avg_score, COUNT(result_id) FROM results WHERE
class_id= 4 GROUP BY admin_no ORDER BY avg_score DESC
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server, use top:
SELECT top(7)
 admin_no
 ,ROUND(SUM(total)/COUNT(result_id),2) AS avg_score
 ,COUNT(result_id)
 FROM results
 WHERE class_id=4
 GROUP BY admin_no
 ORDER BY avg_score DESC
;
If you're using MySQL, use limit:
SELECT admin_no
 ,ROUND(SUM(total)/COUNT(result_id),2) AS avg_score
 ,COUNT(result_id)
 FROM results
 WHERE class_id=4
 GROUP BY admin_no
 ORDER BY avg_score DESC
 limit 7

How long is grapefruit good in the refrigerator?
Last Updated: 13th April, 2020
Storing a grapefruit:
Store it at room temperature if you plan to eatthefruit soon, because citrus fruits are always juicierwhenslightly warm. If planning to store grapefruit for alongerperiod, place the fruit in a plastic bag and store inyourfridge crisper. Stored this way, grapefruitswilllast up to 6 weeks.
Click to see full answer.
Besides, can Grapefruit go bad in the fridge?
Grapefruit will generally keep well atroomtemperature for about one week; longer storage at roomtemperaturecan cause the grapefruit to shrivel andlose flavor.Properly stored, grapefruit will usually keepwell for about3 to 4 weeks in the fridge.
One may also ask, what happens if you eat old grapefruit? Grapefruits Are The "Brain Food" WeAllDeserve, But They Do Spoil Quickly. Here's What To LookOutFor. If you can get past its bitter taste, youwillreap the many benefits, which include a high dose of vitaminC,better hydration (grapefruit is 92 percent water),andlowered blood pressure.
Keeping this in consideration, how do you tell if a grapefruit is spoiled?
Some common traits of bad grapefruit are asofttexture and some discoloration of the skin. The soft spotthenbecomes moist and can develops mold, usually white in coloratfirst, and the grapefruit should thenbetossed.
How long can you leave grapefruit on the tree?
The grapefruit takes 6 months to a year toripen,and can last on the tree a long timebeforebeing harvested without affecting the fruitquality.

Quality and conservation of riparian forest in a mountain subtropical basin of Argentina.
The aims of this work were to describe the conservation status of riparian forests located in a mountain subtropical basin of Tucumán province, Argentina, and assess how the quality of riparian forests is related with altitude, plant species richness, proportion of exotic species, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in adjacent rivers. Composition and species richness of riparian forests were studied at 16 sites located along an altitudinal gradient and TSS was determined from water samples collected in each site. In order to evaluate conservation status of riparian forests, we calculated an index of Quality of Yungas Riparian Forests (QBRy). We recorded 90 plant species at all sites, from which 77% were native. QBRy index was mainly associated with altitude and varied from riparian forests with good preservation or slightly disturbed to those with extreme degradation. At lower altitude, forests were more disturbed, more invaded by exotic plant species, and closer to urban and cropped areas. QBRy was not correlated with species richness or TSS. Like other riparian forests of Argentina, plant species invasion increased their degradation; therefore, future studies should focus on native riparian forests conservation and on the management of invasive plant species, which affect their quality.
