OOOOOOOOOOH!!!! A ghost!
Ghost Shrimps live in deep parts and crevices of caves. They are not common but very striking when they are found. The Ghost Shrimp are burrower's in kind of muddy or sandy sediments. They can also live in crevices underneath rocks and corals. Since these animals burrow, they are important to the ocean enviornment. Ghost Shrimps are sometimes used as bait by fishermen. The fishermen call the Ghost Shrimp Bass Yabbies and/or one armed bandits. They are especially common in the tropics. The female Ghost Shrimps carry developing eggs attached to some hairs on their pleopods or stomach.

Pre-requisites for Monitoring the Oracle VirtualBox in an Agentless Manner
General Pre-requisites
 1. Enable the remote agent to communicate with the eG manager port (default: 7077).
 2. If VMs running on multi-byte operating systems are to be monitored (eg., Windows Japanese), then the remote agent monitoring such VMs should also run on a multi-byte operating system.
Pre-requisites for Auto-Discovering VMs and Obtaining their Outside View
 1. Ensure that the remote agent has IP connectivity to the target VirtualBox.
 2. Ensure that the remote agent can connect to the target VirtualBox via SSH.
 3. Configure all the tests that the remote agent executes with the name and password of a user who is privileged to access the VirtualBox via SSH.
 4. To enable the remote agent to run VDA commands on the VirtualBox, a sudo package has to be installed on the VirtualBox host; to know how to install the sudo package, refer to Pre-requisites for Auto-Discovering VMs and Obtaining their Outside View.
 5. After the sudo package is installed, perform the following steps on the VirtualBox host:
 - Login to the host as a root user;
 - At the command prompt of the host, issue the following command to create a new user:
 useradd –d /export/home/<username> –m <username>
 For instance:
 useradd –d /export/home/eguser –m eguser
 - Next, issue the following command to set a password for the above user:
 passwd <username>
 - When prompted to provide the password, specify the same.
 - Then, proceed to edit the sudo script by issuing the following command:
 usr/local/sbin/visudo
 - Add the following entry to the script:
 <username> ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/VBoxManage
 6. All the tests run by the eG agent should be configured with the full path to the install directory of the sudo package;
Pre-requisites for Obtaining the "Inside View" of Windows VMs, using the eG VM Agent
 1. Install the eG VM Agent on each Windows VM. For details on how to install the eG VM Agent, refer to Configuring the eG Agent to Obtain the Inside View of Windows VMs, using the eG VM Agent.
 2. Enable the remote agent to communicate with the port at which the eG VM Agent listens (default port: 60001).
 3. Set the inside view using flag for all the "inside view" tests to eG VM Agent (Windows).
Pre-requisites for Obtaining the Inside View of VMs, without using the eG VM Agent
 1. Ensure that the remote agent has IP connectivity to at least one of the network interfaces of the VMs.
 2. The admin$ share should be enabled for all Windows-based virtual guests being monitored and the administrative account must have permissions to this share drive. Refer to Enabling ADMIN$ Share Access on Windows Virtual Guests for a step-by-step procedure to achieve this.
 3. To enable the remote agent to communicate with the Windows VMs, an administrative account login and password (either a local account or a domain account) must be provided when configuring the eG monitoring capabilities.
 4. In case of VMs with the Windows 2012 (or above versions)/Windows 8(or above versions) operating systems, the firewall on the guest should be explicitly configured to allow Windows File and Print Sharing services which are required for the remote agent on the vSphere/ESX host to communicate with the guest operating system. Refer to Configuring Windows Firewalls to Allow File and Print Sharing for a detailed procedure.
 5. For monitoring a Windows VM, TCP port 139 must be accessible from the remote agent to the VM.
 6. For monitoring a Linux/Solaris VM, the SSH port (TCP port 22) must be enabled for communication between the remote agent and the VM being monitored.
 7. For obtaining the "inside view" of VMs running on Windows 2012 (or above versions)/Windows 8(or above versions) operating systems, the eGurkhaAgent service of the eG remote agent should be configured to run using domain administrator privileges. For obtaining the "inside view" of other Windows VMs however, the remote agent service requires no such privileges.
 8. Set the Inside View Using flag for all the "inside view" tests to Remote connection to VM (Windows).

ARCHIVE: Milk product roadmaps
As part of our work on Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP), we are developing ten product roadmaps to reduce the environmental impacts across the life cycle of a range of priority products.
The Dairy Supply Chain Forum's Milk Roadmap published May 2008: the first stage of a comprehensive action plan which will help the dairy sector to address its environmental impacts. The document also aims to take into account the economic and social sustainability of the dairy sector.
This is a living document which will be revisited regularly to ensure that the targets and evidence remains relevant. The Taskforce are meeting in plenary sessios twice yearly to review progress on the targets.
A 'One Year On' Report, summarising the achievements so far has been produced by the Taskforce and was published in August.
The evidence base for the Milk Roadmap also highlighted areas for potential future research, which will help refine the roadmap when it is revisited in the future.
- Milk Roadmap – One Year Down the Road (August 2009, PDF 780 KB) A news release has been published.
- Milk Roadmap 2008 (May 2008, PDF 400 KB)
- Evidence base for the Milk Roadmap: desktop study by the University of Manchester to map the evidence on the sustainability impacts across the milk life cycle and supply chain (PDF 1.55 MB)
- Dairy Supply Chain Forum
Evidence showed that milk and meat were high impact product categories, with food and drink consumption and production overall accounting for between 20-30% of all environmental impacts within the EU-25 (European Commission (2006): Environmental Impact of Products). Liquid milk was chosen as a starting point for the roadmap process in this area for a number of reasons, including:
- the market for liquid milk tends to be limited to the UK, enabling evidence on milk to be mapped relatively quickly and clearly
- mapping sustainability impacts for a base product like liquid milk may also produce useful data for future studies on the sustainability impacts of other products
- the willingness of the dairy sector to undertake positive action to map and help to reduce the negative impacts associated with milk production and consumption. Defra have been working in partnership with the Dairy Supply Chain Forum's Sustainable Consumption and Production Taskforce to produce the milk roadmap.
Average liquid milk consumption in the UK is fairly high at around 1.6 litres per person per week for 2007 (or just under 3 pints). Overall consumption has decreased on the previous year by 2.4 percent.
Provisional figures show UK milk production at 12,858 million litres for 2008/2009 with 6,690 million litres (51%) of that destined for the liquid milk market (the remainder going into products such as butter, cheese and yoghurt). Therefore, the Milk Roadmap work captures information relating to more than half of the overall production of milk in the UK (source: MDC Datum).
Defra are continuing to work in partnership with the Dairy Supply Chain Forum's Sustainable Consumption and Production Taskforce in implementing the Milk Roadmap and achieving its targets.
A 'One Year On' Report, summarising the achievements so far has been produced by the Taskforce and will be published shortly.

Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. Sir Francis Bacon (_PHONE_)
I believe Francis Bacon's three principles are the foundation of good writing. By "conference," he means conversation and that is what the vast majority of people do the most; it's unique to humans. But where we truly find discovery and advancement is by expanding beyond our ability to converse and developing the other two capabilities we possess: reading and writing. Amassing knowledge and having the ability to articulate it in a permanent form – for millions across history – is a wondrous gift that we humans can give to others with whom we share the planet.

Great opportunity for kids to tell about their outdoor adventures, experiences.
Lansing, MI -(Ammoland.com)- One year after launching its blog, the Natural Resources Commission Youth Conservation Council is opening up that public platform – Michigan YCC – to young outdoor voices across the state.
The Youth Conservation Council, established by a Natural Resources Commission resolution in 2012, provides a forum where a diverse group or conservation-minded teens can talk about and take action to protect, promote and enhance Michigan's outdoor recreation opportunities – including everything from hunting, fishing and trapping to hiking, wildlife viewing and camping. The YCC blog was one of the council's first projects, initially providing a place where members could share their own outdoor experiences.
Now the Youth Conservation Council wants to hear from the rest of Michigan's young outdoor enthusiasts.
"We know there are a lot of kids like us who are having great times in the outdoors," said Gabrielle Herin, a Youth Conservation Council member from Trenton, Michigan. "Tell us about the experiences you've had this year in the outdoors. How do you feel when you spend time outdoors? What interesting discoveries did you make in the outdoors?"
Although the council did not set specific age guidelines for those who submit blog entries, it is seeking entries primarily from youth 12 to 18 years of age. A few other tips:
- Blog entries should include the writer's name, age and hometown.
- Blog entries should be between 200 and 400 words.
- Send entries by email to [email protected]
- Up to three photos may accompany a blog entry and should be added as attachments to the email, rather than embedded in the message or document.
All submitted blog entries will be reviewed by Youth Conservation Council members and Department of Natural Resources staff for content and accuracy. When an entry is published to the YCC blog, the author will be notified via email.
Learn more about the work of the NRC Youth Conservation Council by visiting the Michigan DNR website, clicking on Education & Outreach, and then on Natural Resources Youth Conservation Council. The council also has a Facebook page.

Couple is a system of forces whose magnitude of the resultant is zero and yet has a moment sum. Geometrically, couple is composed of two equal forces that are parallel to each other and acting in opposite direction. The magnitude of the couple is given by
Where are the two forces and is the moment arm, or the perpendicular distance between the forces.
Couple is independent of the moment center, thus, the effect is unchanged in the following conditions.
- The couple is rotated through any angle in its plane.
- The couple is shifted to any other position in its plane.
- The couple is shifted to a parallel plane.
In a case where a system is composed entirely of couples in the same plane or parallel planes, the resultant is a couple whose magnitude is the algebraic sum of the original couples.

Activity #1: Resources for
Learning about the role of the Police Officer and Crime Prevention
Activity #2: Crafts: Police Officer Hat
Let's Make a Police Officer Hat
and Badge to Honor the Police Officer an Important Community
Helper - Discuss the Letter P is for Police Officer
To pay tribute to the police officer and their dedication to serve
and protect the community, the children will assemble a simple
police officer hat and wear a badge. Children love to
dress up and do dramatic play, and this will be a welcomed and fun
Instructions for the Police Officer Head band hat and badge:
1. Select your choice of color or black and white template for
the hat and badge. I would recommend the black and white
templates because these can be colored to match the uniform
colors of the police officers in your community. Older
children may be able to help cut the large hat template.
2. Ahead of time, cut a band
about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide and 22 inches long approx. from construction paper
or card stock. Once you print the template there is enough
paper left over on the right side to cut three strips/bands and then
tape together to form the long band as illustrated in the template.
3. The hat and badge will be assembled during the alphabet P
presentation below. Optional: Add a police
vest made with a large paper grocery bag and glue the
finished badge to it.
Other great Police Officer related crafts at DLTK's:
Officer TP Roll Craft: Young children love
puppets and this craft can be used as teacher aid to present the
activities. Make one ahead of time. Tell the children
they will make their own police officer.
A paper tube is not needed to make it, simply fold the body piece in
half, glue and have the children glue the other body parts,
attach a craft stick to hold as a puppet.
Paper Craft with Police Officer Hat: If the children
love Blue from the Blue's Clues preschool TV program, then this is
the winner and is easy for children 2+ and older.
3. Make a simple police vest using a large paper grocery
bag. With the bag opened, make a large round opening on the
bottom for the head and cut the bag open along the front. Make
round holes on the sides for arm holes. Close and lay the bag
flat and children can paint the front using tempera paint and using
a sponge. Cut a long strip of black construction paper
to form a belt - just for the front where is painted, and glue on
bag when the paint is dry. Attach the badge and the vest is
ready to wear.

How Is Approach Speed Calculated?
Approach speed is the recommended speed at which an aircraft should approach an airport and is based on a reference landing speed recorded in the aircraft operating manual (AOM) or the quick reference handbook (QRH), which is defined as Vref = 1.3 x the stall speed with full or selected landing flaps. The final approach speed is then calculated as Vref + corrections. Corrections are usually for conditions such as wind, icing, and wind shear as well as factors such as a less than full flap configuration. The appropriate approach speed varies depending on the size of the aircraft, with small, single-engine aircraft approaching at lower speeds than larger aircraft. Approach speed is generally measured in knots, or nautical miles per hour. In addition to the size of the aircraft, the type of aircraft, the flap configuration, wind direction, and the weight of the aircraft. An approach speed is recommended so that aircrafts can make a safe approach to the runway and a safe landing.

Flight of Coke Butterflies
Introduction: Flight of Coke Butterflies
We made these for my sisters wedding, they are cheap and easy to make ( although depending on how many you want they take a little time) but they look beautiful. And you get to reuse some of those plastic bottles.
Step 1: Gather Materials
To make these you will need
Clear plastic 2 liter bottle (empty)
Liquid lead ( gray or silver)
Translucent glass paint ( we did another batch later and used acrylic i will attcah a pic at the end)
Fishing Line
Needle ( or other small pokey tool)
Space for Drying
Step 2: Create Template
Draw a Butterfly the size and shape you want to make on a piece of paper ( any type of paper will do). Add lines to define the patterns on the wings - this will be used in the next step.
If you can't draw a butterfly i am sure you could find lots of pictures online.
Cut out your paper butterfly. This will be your template
Cut the plastic bottle into squares roughly the size of your template
Place the paper butterfly template on the plastic square and cut the plastic to match the template
Repeat as many times as you want
now you have a bunch of plastic butterfly shapes
Step 3: Wing Outlines
Now it is time to add some detail.You will be painting on the side that used to be the outside of the bottle - The plastic butterflies will still curl so you want the paint to be on the top/outside when you set them on the table ( creating a tunnel between the table and butterfly)
Use the Liquid Lead( or Liquid Silver) to paint the outlines of the wings, and wing pattern for the butterfly. You can make this as detailed or simple as you like
If you aren't good at free handing you can set the clear plastic on top of the paper template and trace over the lines that were drawn on your template
Set Aside to dry.
I let mine sit overnight but depending on conditions you might be able to do the second step sooner.
Step 4: Add Color
Once the Outlines are dry you can color in the areas using the transparent glass paint, Or paint the entire thing one color.
We used, Pink and Blue Opalescent Paint for the ones used for the wedding. The other ones used latex paint. and glitter over the top
Here you are just using a paintbrush and the Glass Paint. Paint however you like on the same side of the butterfly as the liquid lead outlines.
Let Dry
Step 5: Hanging Mechanism
For this part you can use the top or bottom of the bottle (or both) depending on which you like better.
If you use the BOTTOM:
Cut the bottom off the bottle evenly all the way around about an inch think.
using the needle poke holes around the open edge of the plastic ring.You will hang a butterfly from each hole so use that to determine how many holes and how far apart you want your holes
Poke a hole in the center of the bottom of the bottle. Thread a piece of fishing line through this hole to hang the entire thing.
If you use the TOP:
Cut the pouring spout off. cut the top from the bottle to form a ring of plastic about 2 inches thick.
Poke holes around the wider edge of the plastic ring. You will hang a butterfly from each hole so use that to determine how many holes and how far apart you want your holes.
Poke 3 holes along the other edge to hang the entire thing. These holes should be evenly spaced around the ring. Thread one piece of Fishing line through each of the three holes, tie the three pieces of fishing line together in the center leaving at least one long piece to hang the entire thing from.
Step 6: Assemble
Poke one hole in the top of each Top/Front wing. Take one piece of Fishing line, thread it first through one then the second hole. Bring the leading end around the back of the butterfly and tie the two ends together roughly equidistant from each wing. Leave one end of the fishing line longer than the other so that you can hang the butterfly from this long end.
Thread the longer end of the fishing line from the butterfly through one of the holes in the Hanging ring. Tie Off
Step 7: Enjoy!
Find somewhere to tie it ( chandeliers are great)

 9 years ago on Introduction
 Why do the butterflies in step 3 and 4 look so different? In step 3 the paint is very wiggly, and in step 4 it is straight like wire.
 Reply 9 years ago on Introduction
 They were actually from 2 different projects. I didn't have pictures of all the different steps from the first time we made them. I wasn't planning to make an instructable the first time around. So i used photos from both times they were made just to help people visualize what is supposed to be going on. They are both the same but it just depends on speed, patience, and personal style preference to make the lines straight or wiggly.

Why use Skip Logic on your forms
Surveys are being carried out in shopping centres, the workplace, training establishments, in hospitality and many other sectors. Survey forms can often be lengthy and include unnecessary questions. Other important information as regards to or elaborating on a specific question is often omitted.
Administrators who know how people react when faced with a series of questions can easily make the experience more efficient and user friendly by using Skip Logic in their forms. Being able to bypass irrelevant questions hastens the survey time and improves the experience of the interviewee. In turn this can reflect on the professionalism of marketing companies or other organisations that are carrying out surveys or audits.
Skip Logic can be used on a form where a question requires the responder to make a choice. The function can also be used to bypass unnecessary questions, perhaps even skipping a whole section within a form based on the answer to a previous question. To increase efficiency, an administrator can build a customised route through questions presented on a survey or any other form. There are many examples of where Skip Logic can be used on survey forms.
A favourite example of ours, is to imagine If your question is to find out the respondents favourite Ice Cream, they need to have a choice! (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Pistachio, Mix)
If the respondent picks "mix", this gives you the opportunity to ask a follow up question or skip other questions that may have been related to the other flavours.
For this example, If "Mix" was chosen, you can then ask for a detailed description of the "Mix" flavour of choice.
Alternatively, if "Pistachio" was chosen, you can ask a more specific follow up question like "Do you like any other types of Nut other than Pistachio?".
Another example is if you have a question that requires the person to state whether they are "married" or "single". Based on the answer, a further question might require details of a spouse or alternatively move to the next question or section if the responder is not in a relationship.
A responder could be asked to provide an answer based on which mode of transport they used to travel to work. The options might be "car, bus, bicycle or walking". These options present the administrator with the chance to ask follow up questions on how long it took to get to work by each mode of travel, bus routes used, travel alone or car share.
At NestForms, Skip Logic is easily applied when using certain components within your form that allow you to ask key questions. You can find more information by viewing the Skip Logic help page on the NestForms website.

The Seeds of Death
Deadly Ice Warriors, exploding seed pods and a lethal fungus are among the terrors in store in this feature-length adventure. It is the 21st Century and Earth is totally dependent on T-Mat, a revolutionary form of instant travel.
When the system breaks down The Doctor and friends make a hazardous journey to the relay station on the moon only to find that it has fallen into the hands of the Ice Warriors who plan to invade Earth.
Using T-Mat, the Ice Warriors transport seed pods to Earth which burst, disgorging a deadly Martian fungus. This spreads rapidly, extracting vital oxygen from the atmosphere. Can The Doctor outwit the evil Ice Warriors and destroy the fungus in time to save a dying world?
- The Seeds of Death was the fifth episode of season 6
- Also edited into a movie format, came with a "Screen Legends" sticker on the top of the case
- The working title for this story was The Lords of the Red Planet.
- After the opening titles a specially filmed model sequence was used as a background for the story title and episode number, showing a scene of the Earth and Moon. The camera pans across the foreground object then zooms into the background object – Earth or Moon – on which the episode begins. The exception is in episode three where the panning stops between the Earth and the Moon, as this instalment begins in cislunar space.

The American Concrete Pipe Association-organized Concrete Pipe Week, August 14-20, recognizes the reinforced concrete pipe and precast industry's strong connection to quality of life. This year's "Build for the Future. Build with Concrete" theme celebrates the long service life, resilience and sustainability that ACPA members and the industry provide to America's infrastructure.
"Reinforced concrete pipe has played a vital role for more than 150 years. Now, with historic funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation, concrete pipe has an unprecedented opportunity to build a sustainable and resilient future for communities across the country through its unparalleled physical properties such as strength and durability," says ACPA President Steven Hawkins, AIA. "Concrete Pipe Week showcases the best the industry has to offer, and we look forward to celebrating the lasting difference reinforced concrete pipe makes in a community's future."
"Build for the Future" activities and events at national, state and local levels include:
- Complimentary Webinars. ACPA will offer three opportunities for construction interests and the general public to learn about the resilience and impact concrete pipe has on the world around us. Webinar topics are Building for the Future, Achieving Project Excellence, and Engineer's Guide to Quality Assurance. Attendees will earn 1 PDH by attending the hour-long sessions.
- Virtual Concrete Pipe Plant Tour. A virtual tour will take attendees through an ACPA member's Virginia production facilities. The webinar will cover the process it takes to make pipe, from raw materials arriving at the plant to the truck hauling finished product.
- State Proclamations. ACPA members perennially work with governors to formally acknowledge and raise awareness about the benefits that reinforced concrete pipe and precast bring to state and local levels.
Concrete Pipe Week also recognizes the contributions of ACPA's partners: Public works agencies; departments of transportation; engineering companies and contractors; equipment or machinery manufacturers and other associate members; aggregate, cement and reinforcing steel producers; trucking interests; plus, academia and other stakeholders associated with underground infrastructure.
"Concrete Pipe Week provides an opportunity for our members to unite around our products and the impact they have on existing communities and future generations," observes ACPA Vice President of Marketing Michael Kremer. "Infrastructure built with concrete pipe establishes the certainty and security of future communities—something we're proud to celebrate during Concrete Pipe Week 2022."

Using these 5 innovations, Kamal Kisan is helping farmers reduce labour costs
With its innovative products, the social enterprise is helping small and marginal farmers reduce their labour costs by at least 50 percent.
According to a recent observation made by PRS India, over the past few decades, the agriculture sector's contribution to the growth of the economy has decreased from more than 50 percent of GDP in the 1950s to 15.4 percent in 2015–16. This instability in the agricultural sector has drastically affected farming practices. Uneven access to modern technology, smaller landholdings, non-availability of labour or increase in labour cost, lack of support from the government, and decrease in profit are some of the main reasons for reduction in agricultural productivity.
Devi Murthy, who holds a bachelor's degree in engineering from Drexel University, USA, and a master's in entrepreneurship from IIM Bangalore, founded Kamal Kisan in 2013 with an aim to empower India's small and marginal farmers by developing cost-effective, smart mechanisation solutions that improve profitability and labour productivity.
Having started out with seed funding of Rs 5 lakh from the Rural Technology and Business Incubator at IIT Madras and a small three-member team, Kamal Kisan now reaches over 2,000 farmers in various cities and districts in Karnataka, with a cumulative cost saving of over Rs 20 lakh for the agricultural community.
In the last four years, Devi and her team have been successful in developing some innovative farm equipment that has replaced labour-dependent farm activities. Post the seed funding, Kamal Kisan has received a grant from Villgro and also raised its first round of equity from Social Alpha (Tata Trust Initiative). Below are 5 social innovations by the organisation which are benefiting the farmer -
1. Sugarcane planter
Since sugarcane is the main source of sugar in India, it is the most grown commercial crop (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2011–2014), and planting is a critical process since it is predominantly manual. Devi says, "With the lack of labour, farmers spend up to Rs 300/day/labourer. Currently, the process requires farmers to plough ridges, place seed material, and cover with soil — all of which is done manually, consuming labour and time. With the help of a sugarcane planter, the same process takes less time and costs less money."
Priced at Rs 95,000 per unit, the sugarcane planter combines the processes of ridging, planting, and furrowing to increase efficiency, and it can be used with tractors with power as low as 30 hp. The planter can plant one acre of sugarcane in 4–5 hours with just two labourers as against six members working over five days, saving up to 80 percent (Rs 10,000) of the cost of planting.
2. Versatile mulch layer
"Mulching sheets are being used more and more often among fruit and vegetable farmers, especially in semi-arid regions since it reduces water consumption by 60 percent while increasing yields due to curbing of weed growth and increased microbial activity in the soil," says Devi.
So the Kamal Kisan mulch machine is a simple tractor attachment that can reduce labour requirements from eight labourers to two, covering one acre in two hours as against eight hours.
The machine can be used with a wide variety of bed sizes and with most tractor sizes, ranging from 25–55 hp, making it versatile. Priced at Rs 40,000, the mulch layer also has a varying array of accessories being developed (fertiliser hopper, bed maker, drip pipe layer), which can be procured on a need basis.
3. Bed maker
The bed maker is a tractor-driven implement which helps in creating a raised bed for all varieties of horticulture crops. With the usage of a bed maker, one can see a significant improvement in germination and better water management system. Priced at Rs 26,000, this equipment can also be converted into a mulch layer with additional accessories. It is suitable for all tractors from 25 hp onwards, and has adjustable bed width from 1 m to 3 m with height adjustment up to 1 ft.
4. Vegetable handy planter
This handy low-cost planter can plant most vegetable and fruit saplings with significant reduction in drudgery and increase in process efficiency.

Call To A Member Function GetClientOriginalName() On String - Laravel File Upload
Asked by Anonymous on 18 Jun 2017 9890 Views

First of all, you need to know that while uploading an image or a file, you are sending an array of data. If you treated it like other usual text input fields, only the file name which is actually a string will be sent via the form to the processing blocks of codes. In that case, the function GetClientOriginalName() can't be executed as the string won't have any additional information. So, make sure you have added the form attribute enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form tag which looks like:

If you used the var_dump() function to dump the value of the input type="file" without adding enctype="multipart/form-data" the result will simple be the file name as a string. If you dumped it with the form attribute enctype="multipart/form-data" the result will appear as shown below in application built on basic php script.
Array (
 [upload] => Array (
 [name] => test.png
 [type] => image/png
 [tmp_name] => C:\xampp\tmp\php9834.tmp
 [error] => 0
 [size] => 481933
 )
)
Dump the value of the input type="file" in laravel and the result will appear as shown below.
private 'originalName' => string 'test.png'
private 'mimeType' => string 'image/png'
private 'size' => int 481933
private 'error' => int 0
The function GetClientOriginalName() is used to retrieve the file's original name at the time of upload in laravel and that'll only be possible if the data is sent as array and not as a string.
Hence, you must add enctype="multipart/form-data" whenever you are creating a form with input fields for files or images.
Another important thing is to set the default value of the data table field for file to null to avoid additional issues when no file is selected. And, don't forget to check if the file field is empty with hasFile() function as well

if ($request->hasFile('image')){
 // processing codes
}

Should you cover baby's hands at night?
So it's better to avoid them.
Cover Your Baby's Head and Hands: As babies lose a lot of heat through their head and hands, it becomes really important to get hold of a soft baby cap and lightweight mittens to provide your little one an extra layer of warmth..
Will a baby cry if they are cold?
They may cry because they are too hot or too cold. If your baby is fussy because of the temperature, there are signs that you can look for. Signs of the baby being too hot are sweating, damp hair, heat rash, or clammy skin. For signs of your baby being cold, check his/her ears, face, and tummy to feel temperature.
Do newborns need socks?
Socks are helpful for newborns if they're not wearing footies—especially if you're venturing outdoors. Babies have poor circulation at first, Smith says, and their feet are often colder than ours. Leg warmers can be considered sweaters for baby's legs. … They also keep baby's socks up.
How do you keep baby gloves on?
Here are tips to keep them from getting separated.Mitten Clips. One easy solution is to buy those handy little clips, where one end clips to their jacket and the other to the mittens. … A String. … Velcro. … Buy Multiple Pairs. … Keep a Stash of Stretchy Gloves. … Put Them in the Sleeve. … Buttons and Elastic.Dec 19, 2019
Why do babies scratch?
The first thing to keep in mind is that if your baby scratches – there's a reason for it. Scratching is a very natural reaction to irritated, itchy, dry, or inflamed skin, so if your baby is showing the signs of scratching more that a few times a day, something is probably going on.
Why do babies sleep with their hands up?
"Babies have different sleeping positions just like adults do. … "The very simple answer is that they may sleep this way because it is just another position for sleep." So if your baby sleeps with their arms up, it just might be that's the position they find most suitable for sleep.
When should babies not wear mittens?
Mittens don't stay on well. Although mittens have elasticized wrists, most mittens don't go far enough up the arm to stay on.Your baby uses his/her hands to soothe himself/herself. … Hand covers block your baby's sense of touch. … Dirty mittens may cause diseases. … You can easily prevent scratching without mittens.Nov 26, 2018
Do scratch mittens hinder development?
Scratch mittens are mitts you put over your baby's hands to prevent them from scratching themselves. I'm a pediatric occupational therapist & mitts most definitely hinder development of hand strength, visual motor integration, etc.
Can babies sleep with mittens on?
If you're still worried she won't be warm enough, add a onesie underneath or a sleep sack on top for an extra layer. If you're concerned about cold hands, try baby mittens, which not only keep hands warm, they'll prevent baby from scratching herself with her fingernails, the National Sleep Foundation says.
Is it OK for newborn to sleep on my chest?
While having a baby sleep on mother's (or father's) chest whilst parents are awake has not been shown to be a risk, and such close contact is in fact beneficial, sleeping a baby on their front when unsupervised gives rise to a greatly increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) also known as cot death.
Should babies wear socks to bed?
According to heathychildren.org, a good rule to follow for baby sleepwear is to dress your baby in one more layer than you need to feel comfortable. So, if your feet are freezing, baby might just need socks (or footie pajamas or a wearable blanket) to feel comfortable enough to enjoy a decent night's sleep.
Why is it bad for babies to sleep on soft surfaces?
The American Academy of Pediatrics says parents should keep the soft objects and loose bedding away from infants because they can inadvertently lead to suffocation. Furthermore, bedding has been associated with sudden infant death syndrome, the leading cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year old.
How do I cut my newborn's nails?
What is the best way to cut a baby's nails?When clipping, hold your baby's finger, pressing the fingertip pad down and away from the nail.Gently snip following the natural curve of the fingernail, taking care that you don't go too low and nip the quick.When tending her tiny toes, cut nails straight across.Dec 14, 2020
Is it bad for babies to wear mittens?
The newborn can also have long and sharp fingernails that accidentally cause scratches on various parts of the body. In these cases, mittens sound like a good idea. But pediatrician Paula Arruda states that wearing this accessory can jeopardize the babies' health and even their development.
Do babies hands get cold at night?
It usually goes away within hours or days after a baby is born. Older babies can sometimes have cold hands or feet that look blue if they're temporarily cold — like after a bath, outside, or at night. Don't worry.
What if my baby is too cold at night?
Overheating has long been linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Being too cold can disturb a baby's sleep and inhibit weight gain.
Can babies choke on mittens?
Mittens can be dangerous. They can come off inside the baby's mouth, causing him to choke. The nails will not cause any damage to a baby's face or eyes, because they are so soft. If you are concerned about your baby scratching his face, you can gently file his nails with a soft emery board.
When should babies stop wearing mittens at night?
1 to hold the baby down. The other to cut. Mittens can only be worn till 6 weeks, if not it will obstruct your bb's development.
Why do baby hands smell?
Baby hands smell because they are constantly exposed to dirt, saliva, milk, sweat, and other things as baby's explore their surroundings, put things in their mouths, and suck on their fingers.
What should a 2 week old wear to bed?
Simple is safest. Put your baby in a base layer like a one-piece sleeper, and skip the socks, hats or other accessories. Instead of a blanket, use a sleep sack or swaddle. She'll be warm enough — but not too warm.
Why do babies throw their arms up while sleeping?
This is an involuntary startle response called the Moro reflex. Your baby does this reflexively in response to being startled. It's something that newborn babies do and then stop doing within a couple of months.

You wrote an article _URL_ Your graph Cold Air intake at 92 ambient. What units is the flow in? I think Im confused also. Shouldnt the flow rate go up with RPM? Have you ever done a map of RPM versus flow rate or have any idea what the exhaust flow rate is at idle? Thanks. Trying to blow myself up!
Actually, the Jeep Wrangler features a MAP sensor as opposed to a MAF sensor. MAP measures manifold air pressure while MAF measures manifold air flow. Soooo – I cannot measure the air flow directly. However, if you look at the provided equations, you can calculate it.
Engine Mass Airflow = RPM * (Air Pressure / Intake Temperature)
Thus, your assessment is correct. With increased RPMs comes a higher air flow. Using the snorkel graph you can see that 5.96 psi * idle RPM (roughly 600) will get you a flow of 3576 compared to 20643 which was derived from 9.83 psi * moving RPM (roughly 2100 at 65mph).
Hope that helps.

Mathematica Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Mathematica. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I'm building a package to help me write packages and their documentation. In this post I explained how to make a package and its documentation. In the answer I provided I describe how to build a very simple package. However, I have been looking around the extra packages that come with Mathematica and in some packages I see many .m files. I see this as a good way of dividing the application. Can someone describe the structure of a package?
To do this lets try to make a package out of the next simple functions. Suppose that we have the following in a notebook:
AddTwo::usage = "AddTwo[a, b] returns a+b";
AddThree::usage = "AddTwo[a, b, c] returns a+b+c";
DotTwo::usage = "DotTwo[a, b] returns a*b";
DotThree::usage = "DotTwo[a, b, c] returns a*b*c";
AddTwo[a_, b_] := a + b;
AddThree[a_, b_, c_] := a + b + c;
DotTwo[a_, b_] := a*b;
DotThree[a_, b_, c_] := a*b*c;
I would like to put these functions in a package. They all seem to be very simple arithmetic operations so let us make a package named SimpleArithmetic. This package is perfect to be divided into sections. One for additions and one for products, so we can make "subpackages" Addition and Product. If we follow some of the examples in the Mathematica installation we can create a folder called SimpleArithmetic in say $UserBaseDirectory. Inside SimpleArithmetic we can create two other files Addition.m and Product.m. The code for the additions would be placed in Addition.m and the code for multiplications would be placed in Product.m.
The question now is, how would these files look like? There is also a folder called Kernel which contains Init.m.
Could someone please just explain the best practices to create packages? I've read over the documentation and the whole "context" and "packages" keywords have already confused me. The code in the files I have described would be very appreciated.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.

There is no simple answer to this. In the Java world there is a tool just to create quality metrics for this topic. Read about it here: clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html. This might give you an idea of the complexity of the subject you touched. – ndroock1 Jul 9 '11 at 7:15

@ndroock, Is the creation of packages in Mathematica that complicated? So far I can just create a simple package, which is a collection of functions. I might be overthinking things because of the notation <<PackageName'Somethingelse' where the ' is of course '. What exactly does this mean? – jmlopez Jul 9 '11 at 7:27

Package creation is a large topic indeed. I will still attempt to give a minimal clarification of the encapsulation mechanism behind packages, since in my experience it pays off to understand it.
What constitutes a package
Basically, a piece of Mathematica code (usually containing a number of variable and function definitions), which is placed inside
Begin[someContext]
code
End[]
can be called a package. Usually, however, at least some more structure is present. In particular, to separate interface from implementation, the typical package looks like
BeginPackage[someContext]
public-functions-usage-messages
Begin["'Private'"]
code
End[]
EndPackage[]
Contexts and symbol names
The context here is a namespace. The convention is that context name is a string ending with "'". At any given moment, the value for the current working namespace is stored in the system variable $Context, and can also be queried by calling Context[]. Begin["test'"] will simply add the current context to the context stack, and then change it to "test'", while End[] will exit the current context by making the previous one current.
Every symbol must belong to some context. The system commands belong to the "System'" context, and the default working context for interactive FrontEnd sessions is "Global'". When mma code is parsed, the symbols are given their "true" (long) names, which contain both a symbol name and a context where the symbol is. For example, Map is really System'Map, and if I define a function f[x_]:=x^2 in the FE session, it will be Global'f. For any symbol, one can call Context[symbol] to determine the context where that symbol belongs. To "export" a symbol defined in a package, it is sufficient to simply use it in any way in the "public" part of the package, that is, before "'Private'" or other sub-contexts are entered. Usage messages is just one way to do it, one in principle could just write sym; and the sym would be created in the main package context just the same (although this practice is discouraged).
Every symbol can be referenced by its long name. Using the short name for a symbol is acceptable if the context where it belongs belongs to the list of contexts currently on the search path, stored in a variable $ContextPath. If there is more than one context on the $ContextPath, containing the symbol with the same short name, a symbol search ambiguity arises, which is called shadowing. This problem should be avoided, either by not loading packages with conflicting public (exported) symbols at the same time, or by referring to a symbol by its long name. I discussed this mechanics in slightly more detail in this post.
Contexts can be nested. In particular, the "'Private'" above is a sub-context of the main context someContext. When the package is loaded with Get or Needs,only its main context is added to the $ContextPath. Symbols created in sub-contexts are therefore inaccessible by their short names, which naturally creates the encapsulation mechanism. They can be accessed by their full long names however, which is occasionally handy for debugging.
Storing and loading packages
Packages are stored in files with ".m" extension. It is recommended that the name of the package coincides with the name of the package context. For the system to find a package, it must be placed into some of the locations specified in the system variable $Path. As a quick alternative (useful at the development stage), $Path can be appended with the location of a directory that contains a package.
When the Needs or Get command are called, the package is read into a current context. What is meant by this is that the package is read, parsed and executed, so that the definitions it contains are added to the global rule base. Then, its context name is added to the current $ContextPath. This makes the public symbols in a package accessible within the current working context by their short names. If a package A is loaded by another package B, then generally the public symbols of A will not be accessible in the context C which loads B - if needed, the A package must generally be explicitly loaded into C.
If the package has been loaded once during the work session, its functions can be accessed by their long names even if it is not currently on the $ContextPath. Typically, one would just call Needs again - if the package has been loaded already, Needs does not call Get but merely adds its context name to the $ContextPath. The internal variable $Packages contains a list of currently read in packages.
The case at hand
Here is how a package might look like:
BeginPackage["SimpleArithmetic'"]
AddTwo::usage = "AddTwo[a, b] returns a+b";
AddThree::usage = "AddThree[a, b, c] returns a+b+c";
TimesTwo::usage = "TimesTwo[a, b] returns a*b";
TimesThree::usage = "TimesThree[a, b, c] returns a*b*c";
Begin["'Private'"]
plus[args___] := Plus[args];
times[args___] := Times[args]
AddTwo[a_, b_] := plus[a, b];
AddThree[a_, b_, c_] := plus[a, b, c];
TimesTwo[a_, b_] := times[a, b];
TimesThree[a_, b_, c_] := times[a, b, c];
End[]
EndPackage[]
The functions AddTwo, AddThree, TimesTwo,TimesThree are public because these symbols were used in


WordPress Deprecated Functions Hook
Deprecated Functions
There is a need to inform both theme and plugin developers and users of the usage of deprecated functions. In WordPress 2.4, a way to do that was added.
The following gives instructions on how to turn on the deprecated functions reporting, what hooks can be used for when deprecated functions are used, and code snippets demonstrating how all of this can be accomplished.
Normal Deprecated Function Reporting
When WP_DEBUG is enabled in wp-config.php, it will turn on the notices that deprecated functions were used. When WP_DEBUG is turned off or does not exist, then no reporting will be given.
This prevents the notices for everyday users who are uninterested in receiving these reports. As a consequence, only the users who actively enable WP_DEBUG will receive the information. Those users will not know to upgrade, unless they use a plugin which they download and activate.
The following code snippet enables WP_DEBUG and needs to be placed in wp-config.php.
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
Deprecated Function/File Action Hooks
When a deprecated function is used, the 'deprecated_function_run' hook is called. Whenever a deprecated file is included, the 'deprecated_file_included' hook is called. These hooks are actions and do not return anything. The 'deprecated_function_run' is passed the function and the replacement. The 'deprecated_file_included' is passed the file and which file replaced the deprecated one.
If the hooked function wishes to keep track of which deprecated function were run and how many times, the hooked function will have to do that itself.
Which function called the deprecated function or file is not known and is up to the plugin to perform a back trace to get that information.
Preventing the Notices From Displaying
When a plugin uses the above hooks, it could prevent notices from being displayed, even with WP_DEBUG enabled. It is then assumed that if a plugin hooked into both 'deprecated_function_run' and 'deprecated_file_included' that it would record and display the information in a more friendly matter.
To prevent the notices from displaying for functions, the 'deprecated_function_trigger_error' filter hook should return false. To prevent notices from displaying for files, the 'deprecated_file_trigger_error' filter hook should return false.
If a plugin does not have a way to display the deprecated function or file usage, then the plugin should not prevent the notices from appearing when WP_DEBUG is turned on. It should also make sure that the deprecated information is not displayed where any visitor can see it.

Gig Harbor is one of several cities and towns that claim to be "the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula". Due to its close access to several state and city parks, and historic waterfront that includes boutiques and fine dining, it has become a popular tourist destination. Gig Harbor is located along State Route 16, about 6 mi (10 km) from its origin at Interstate 5, over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. A $1.2 billion project to add a second span to the bridge was completed in 2007.
During a heavy storm in 1840, Captain Charles Wilkes brought the Captain's gig (small boat) into the harbor for protection. Later, with the publication of Wilkes 1841 map of the Oregon Territory, he named the sheltered bay Gig Harbor.
1867 brought fisherman Samuel Jerisich to the Gig Harbor area, along with many other immigrants from Sweden, Norway and Croatia. The town was platted in 1888 by Alfred M. Burnham.
Gig Harbor was officially incorporated on July 12, 1946. Commercial fishing, boat building and logging dominated the economy until the construction of the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. Until then, the primary method of transportation between Gig Harbor and the economic center of nearby Tacoma was by steamship. Starting in 1836 steamships started plying the waters of Puget Sound and quickly developed into what was eventually dubbed "The Mosquito Fleet." Gig Harbor, isolated from Tacoma and Seattle by Puget Sound and the Tacoma Narrows, could not be reached by automobile or horseback except via a very long and arduous trip south around Puget Sound and Hammersly Inlet. The boom was to be short lived as the first bridge collapsed just months after it was completed. The resource demands of World War II prevented another bridge from being built until 1950. Between the time when the first bridge collapsed and when the second bridge was completed, a state run ferry service delivered drivers directly into downtown Gig Harbor. Remains of the ferry dock can still be seen just outside the mouth of the harbor at the southeast end of Harborview Drive. The area has been turned into a small park, where the public can see a panoramic view of the Cascade Mountains, Point Defiance and Mount Rainier.
After the completion of the replacement bridge in 1950, Gig Harbor and the surrounding area quickly began to develop as a suburb of neighboring Tacoma. First the area saw substantial residential development as families retreated from Tacoma in favor of the tree-lined neighborhoods and waterfront lots available on the Gig Harbor Peninsula. What had once been summer cabins became primary residences for people who commuted daily over the bridge to Tacoma. Medium-sized housing development sprang up across the peninsula. The 1980s and 1990s saw substantial retail development near State Route 16 to service the growing residential population, shifting the economic center of Gig Harbor out of downtown. For some time, city leaders were unsure how to handle the growth while maintaining the character of the city. Ultimately, the city decided to aggressively annex the surrounding rural areas and convert them into high-density commercial and housing districts, forever changing the rural character of the area but assuring that little new development happens in the historic downtown area, preserving its history and charm. By the 1970s, local merchants had begun actively promoting the downtown area for its historic value, and tourism became prominent on the list of economic engines in Gig Harbor. Today, downtown Gig Harbor is a very active place for tourists with shopping, dining and recreation on every block. The last large swath of undeveloped waterfront property at the south end of downtown, was recently developed into the headquarters of the Russell Foundation, named for George Russell, founder of Russell Financial.
Today, despite a long history of boat building, very little manufacturing exists in Gig Harbor. The only remaining boatbuilder is Gig Harbor Boatworks, which builds rowing and sailing dinghies in classic style using modern materials. Until recently, Tiderunner Boats maintained a manufacturing facility at the north end of the bay. The historic Skansie boatyard is now primarily a maintenance facility for yachts and pleasure craft. The Glein/Eddon/Gig Harbor boatyard was recently purchased by the city after spending many years sitting idle. The city intends to use it as a working waterfront museum.
Commercial fishing is still of great cultural, if somewhat lesser economic, importance to Gig Harbor, and many commercial fishing boats make it their home port. Most, however, do not rely on Puget Sound to gather their catch, instead finding it more profitable to venture north to Alaska to fish in the summer. Gig Harbor's fishing fleet still gathers the first weekend in June (during the Maritime Gig Festival) in the center of the bay for the annual Blessing of the Fleet ceremony. In recent years, due to the dwindling number of remaining fishing boats, pleasure craft have been allowed to participate in the ceremony, somewhat lessening its authenticity, but increasing its visibility and participation.
A new Tacoma Narrows Bridge has been built alongside the existing bridge and opened July 2007, doubling past capacity. With it will come new economic challenges and benefits for the city of Gig Harbor and the surrounding community.
In 1905, the Skansie brothers were the first in the area to build a gasoline-powered fishing boat. They did so at first by refitting boats with a gasoline-powered engine. Usually the motors were quite small, between 6 and 8 horsepower; the Skansie brothers originally used a 7-horsepower engine. Although these were powerboats, there were neither masts nor a turntable to hoist in the nets. This work was all done by hand. However, with the introduction of a motor, the boats were not able to go as far as Alaska. Skansie shipyards built fishing vessels from the late 1910s to the early 1950s. Vessels built by Skansie:
- F/V Genius-being refitted by grandson of original owner
- F/V Shenandoah-being restored as a museum piece for the Harbor History Museum
- F/V Supreme-registered in Canada as Supreme No. 1
- F/V Advocator-Sunk in early 2000s in Bellingham
- F/V Veteran-still has permits to fish, but current owner uses it as yacht
- F/V Greyling-registered with state of Alaska as F/V Taylor Maid
- F/V Emancipator-Serves as tender vessel in Friday Harbor for San Juan Island salmon seining
- F/V Avalon-currently resides in Port Townsend, later demolished by state
- F/V Vernon- Active in Puget Sound Seining
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.96 square miles (15.44 km2), of which, 5.95 square miles (15.41 km2) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.03 km2) is water.
Gig Harbor has a marine west coast climate. Warm and dry summers, transitional springs and autumns, and cool and wet winters, with occasional snow.

An integral representation of the displacement for problems of transient propagation of horizontally polarized shear waves is employed to investigate the diffraction of a plane wave by a crack of finite length. The stress intensity factors at small times are derived for an incident wave of arbitrary shape. For a step-stress wave the maximum stress intensity factors are shown to exceed the factors of the corresponding static problem by a factor 4 π. Brittle fracture is subsequently investigated by employing a balance of rate of energy. It is shown that for a step-stress wave the critical stress for brittle fracture is reduced by a factor π 4√2 as compared to the critical stress of the corresponding static problem. Ductile fracture is studied by assuming that yielding is restricted to a narrow band in the vicinity of the crack tips. The propagation velocity of the zone of yielding is computed and the location of the point of rupture is determined.

How Coconut Oil Helps With Natural Dog Care
Coconut oil is derived from mature coconuts, so it is a product found in nature.
However, not all coconut oil is organic, so if that is important to you, purchase an organic brand.
Coconut oil is known to help improve both your dogs skin and their coat, both when taken internally and when applied topically.
It also helps improve digestion, reduces allergic reactions unless you happen to have a dog who is allergic to coconut oil and increases energy levels naturally.
Coconut oil works great as an easy to swallow coating for your dogs pills as well.
Coconut oil works so well because it is easily absorbed into the GI Tract which means it goes directly to the liver where it metabolizes into energy your dog can use.
How To Feed Coconut Oil To Dogs
Offer small dogs 1/4 teaspoon per dose, medium dogs 1 teaspoon per dose and large dogs up to 1 Tablespoon per dose.
Too much coconut oil is known to cause kidney problems in dogs, so try mixing it into their food or make homemade treats that incorporate coconut oil into them such as the frozen doggie popsicle recipe below.Print
Coconut Oil Frozen Doggie Popsicles
- Melt the coconut oil.
- Add in the flax seed oil.
- Add in the mashed banana, peanut butter and mint leaves if desired.
- Mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
- Pour the mixture – or the melted coconut oil by itself – into small silicone containers. Try using shaped containers for holiday treats.
- Freeze the filled containers until the shapes are solid.
- Pop the frozen treats out and place them in a Ziplock back quickly, then put them back into the freezer. These do melt fast once they are exposed to room temperature, so work quickly.
- Place a single treat on top of your dogs food once or twice per day.
Making home remedies for your dog using coconut oil is a great way to get your pet to snack on a treat that is good for them and has health benefits without adding unnatural supplements to their diet.
However, it is important to remember that coconut oil has a high fat content and does not contain any nutritional value.
It is always a good idea to talk to your vet first before trying something new with your dog.
Your dog will especially appreciate the coconut oil frozen doggie popsicles during the heat of the summer and if your dog is anything like mine, a frozen treat is a hit any time of the year.
Just remember to limit the amount of coconut oil your dog gets per day and keep an eye on your dog in the beginning to make sure the addition of coconut oil to his or her diet does not cause any adverse reactions.

Fort Air Partnership was established in 1997 as a community-driven organization that would provide credible information on air quality to the community. The Airshed boundaries were established in 1999 based on the following considerations:
- Existing emissions data and air quality monitoring data.
- Potential effects of air pollution on human/animal health, and related air quality modeling results.
- The proximity of Elk Island National Park.
- The proximity of the City of Edmonton as a pollution source.
Our Airshed includes several counties and the communities of Fort Saskatchewan, Gibbons, Bon Accord, Bruderheim, Lamont, Redwater, Waskatenau, Thorhild and Elk Island National Park.
Highway 834 is the eastern boundary. The southern boundary follows highway 16 to Edmonton's city limits. The western boundary follows the city limits north and west to Highway 28. The western boundary continues north following Highways 803 and 651 to Highway 661. The northern boundary runs through the hamlet of Newbrook, approximately 88 kilometres northeast of Fort Saskatchewan.
FAP reached a significant milestone in 2000 when we were officially recognized as one of Alberta's 10 Airsheds. In 2003, we began reporting air quality data from a collection of monitoring stations that had been independently operated by industry.
Since 2005, we have implemented and expanded a passive monitoring network to better understand air quality throughout the region, and worked with Environment Canada on a large Volatile Organic Compound study. At the time, the most significant improvements to the monitoring network involved identifying redundant monitoring stations and redeploying monitoring resources throughout the Airshed.
In 2010, Fort Air Partnership redefined its air monitoring objectives to support the regional approach to monitoring adopted in Alberta. A comprehensive third party network assessment was done to determine how best to meet these objectives.
In 2013, the FAP Board approved a new regional network air monitoring plan that has changed the way air quality is being monitored within the Airshed. The changes are resulting in a better understanding of the impact of all emission sources on air quality, not just those that are regulated. A regional air monitoring network offers stakeholders more benefits and responds better to community, government and industry needs.
As part of the plan, a new air monitoring station in Gibbons was added in February, 2016, a station adjacent to the Agrium Redwater facility was moved to the Town of Redwater in October, 2017 and a portable air monitoring station was added in April, 2018 to the network.

Eton water harder than most
WATER in Eton continues to be "harder" and contain more selenium than prescribed by national guidelines.
Testing results from February, detailed in a Mackay Regional Council report, show between 10-12 micrograms of selenium in every litre of water in Eton.
The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines states the limit for selenium is 10 micrograms.
Selenium is widely distributed in the environment, is considered an essential part of the human diet and does not pose any health risks specific to children, infants or pregnant women.
However, exposure to high levels of selenium over a long period of time can lead to nail deformities, stomach upsets and a garlic odour to the breath.
The water in Eton also contains between 385mg and 420mg per litre of calcium carbonate, making water "harder", less palatable and increases scaling problems.
Water is considered "good quality" if the calcium carbonate level is between 60 and 200mg per litre.
The council has plans to provide water softening plants and will continue regular water monitoring in the area.

What Causes Rust Stains in Swimming Pools?
When you see rust, you know there is metal involved and it can occur in a plaster, tiled or fiberglass pool. The stain can start out as a little spot on the wall or bottom of your pool. Know what could possibly be causing it and what can you do make it go away, or keep it from happening in the first place.
Oxidized Iron in the Water
The water you use to fill your pool can have metal in it. If you are seeing many tiny rusty spots, then that is probably the case. Adding a "metal out" additive to filter the water is your best defense for this issue. You may find you need to sweep and vacuum more often as well. There also are ways to acid wash the spots directly, or you can scrub them with a brush as needed. Some people also use magnets in their pools to collect tiny bits of metal.
Soluble and Colloidal Iron
"Clear water" or soluble iron is drawn in from a well and rusts when it comes into contact with the air. This forms particles in the water that are reddish brown. This problem can be solved by feeding chemicals into the water to oxidize the iron, which can then be filtered out with a mechanical filter. You also can add chemicals that basically coat the iron so it will not receive oxygen. Colloidal iron also is rust that is in the water, but it's usually bound together with other substances. To deal with this, either add chlorine to oxidize the iron from the other substances, or add polymers that will ultimately cause the iron to form larger clumps that can be filtered away.
Bacterial and Organic Bound
An iron bacterial problem is due to living organisms. They like to feed on iron that is found in water and build slime along the path of the water. It will appear rust colored, but also can be green and must be killed using high amounts of chlorination throughout the plumbing to kill it. An organic bound pool takes place when tannins and other organics combine with iron. This type often is mistaken for colloidal rust, but cannot be removed by oxidizing or ion exchange filters. Test for the presence of tannins. If present, tannins can be removed by adding chlorine and by using a carbon filter, but the carbon bed must be replaced when saturated.
Rebar and Concrete Rust
Under the plaster of your pool are intersecting metal shafts called rebar. Rebar will rust through if placed within an inch of the surface. Untreated, rusting rebar can create a bigger issue, because the corrosion always is worse underneath. The concrete used in your pool also could be the culprit; sometimes there are trace amounts of iron within the mix. Untreated, it could spread throughout the pool and cost much more to repair. While you can call a professional, some choose to cut out the rusted section and patch the pool with gray masonry cement. It can then be recovered with plaster or tile.
Metal Items in the Pool
Simply dropping a metal item in the pool can cause rust stains. It could be a nail, bobby pin or a pop can. Any metal item that can rust also can stain your pool. Make sure that such items are removed immediately upon being discovered. The more acid in the pool, the faster the problem becomes but if you do end up with a stain, clean it up using a steel brush or a rust removing liquid that can be purchased at any pool supply store.


The British Journal of Psychiatry
Abstract
In a comparison of nutritional management (NM) and stress management (SM) for treatment of bulimia nervosa, 55 female patients were randomly assigned to either treatment. Therapy consisted of 15 sessions in a group over three months, by the end of which, patients under both treatment conditions showed a significant reduction in the frequency of binge eating and vomiting and a significant improvement in various psychopathological features such as body dissatisfaction and depression. All improvements were maintained over 12-month follow-up NM produced a more rapid improvement in general eating behaviour, a faster reduction in binge frequency and a higher abstinence rate from binge eating. SM led to greater positive changes in certain psychopathological features such as feelings of ineffectiveness, interpersonal distrust and anxiety. NM should be regarded as a necessary first intervention in all bulimic patients. Further psychological therapy, such as SM, is indicated as well for some patients, depending on their specific psychological difficulties.


German Winter Lore—Brownies
I am digging up old blogposts from when I was writing to improve my English. I was curious to see how my English has changed. Besides I thought the long winter nights are a good time to retell some of these stories.
German Lore: Brownies
'twas the times before even dial up modems!
When I was a teenager, I became really interested in exploring where family (and local) traditions and superstitions came from. Luckily with a historian mum and a well-stocked library at home, there were plenty of resources available. There was a whole set of old 'historical society' magazines from the the early 1920s where I found a small reference to Kuppelchen (Unfortunately this was before I learned how to reference)
The Kuppelchen
The Kuppelchen or Kupelchen seems to be a Saxonian dialect derivative from the word Kumpel, which means pal. The Kuppelchen is a house spirit (a puck or brownie)—not entirely sure which classification would be the most appropriate.
A Kuppelchen very much reflects the character of the inhabitants of the house it lives in, so it can be mean-spirited and evil, or caring and nice. If you have a Kuppelchen you leave a little bit of food over after dinner, or never entirely finish your drink. The lore goes that if you are a good person the Kuppelchen will protect your home from burglary and fires. However, if you are a mean bean grump-machine the Kuppelchen will cause you all sorts of serious trouble.
I was told that the farmer's wives, when making the rounds from farm to farm, during feather stripping season would tell tales and determine if there was a Kuppelchen in someone's house. Abilities such as second sight, and healing hands would usually mean you were likely to have a Kuppelchen. Apparently, Kuppelchen, if they like you will also move house if you move.
Now the all-important question is: How do you know you have a Kuppelchen? So the lore goes: if you regularly 'lose' objects although you exactly remember that you placed them in their usual place, and went searching high and low, only to find it exactly where you left it; that's a sign of a Kuppelchen. Are things going bump? Not necessarily at night, and preferably in the kitchen. Are things falling over, or toppling down, without nosy cats being the culprits? Are small things moving about (without draft, or any other logical reason)? Then you just might have a Kuppelchen, according to Saxon lore.
I have some family examples:
The Student Dorm Disappearance Paradox
Roomie and me made midnight pasta, as so often when assignments were due or exams to be sat. Before calling it a night we brought all the dishes and cutlery to the kitchen, including our big sauce ladle. The next morning the ladle was gone, we searched for it everywhere—and this is important, we searched our whole room, under beds, desks etc thinking it had fallen down. But the ladle was lost, we could not find it anywhere. Three weeks later, I vacuumed under the bed as usual, and bumped into something. The ladle was right there, peaking out from under the bed. And it was all clean and shiny! No, we checked it was not a joke from another flatmate. Secondly, no one could have accessed our room while we were out. Besides, neither of them where practical jokers, or had any sense of humour we would know off.
The Right in Front of you Paradox 01
I have to run to school and am looking for a paper I have to hand in. I cannot find it, despite having it placed on top of the pile the night before to make sure I won't forget. I am searching for about 20 minutes, went through the pile 5 times, it was not there. I was stressing out and running late. Close to tears I sat on my bed saying out lout, I really, really need this paper. I go to the desk intending to sort through the pile one more time, the paper is right on top.
The Right in Front of you Paradox 02
Mum's car keys are not in the key basket, she is tired and exhausted and has to leave. So she sits down perplexed as what to do next. Mind you this was after granny and her sorted this key basket (which has no more than 5 keys in it to begin with) several times together. Then each on their own, while the other one was running around trying to find the keys elsewhere. After her exhausted sit-down mum decides to try again and the keys were in the basket, innocently as if they had waited for her all along.
The Scottish Spooky House Paradox
A friend and I met up in a B&B on the Outer Hebrides, the B&B must have had some very active Kuppelchen. When we came up the landing my room was to the left and my friend's room to the right, in the middle between the both rooms was a small bathroom. No one could have come up without us realizing it. While I took a shower, my friend unpacked his stuff. He had his room door open, no one came up. When we went into my room (which was the bigger one) to have our dinner, the knives all had fallen off the tray and lay in the middle of the room on the floor. Mind you several meters away from the tray, too far to simply have dropped down. Also the tray had a lip so the knives could not just have slid off. There were no cats in the house, either.
My friend became really spooked, while I thought it was funny. Kuppelchen have the reputation of being cheeky and they like to play tricks—never anything serious (if you are a good person). After he had his shower, he came out really angry with me, asking me what I did do this for. 'Did what?' I asked. He said that while he was showering someone was constantly opening and closing the bathroom door. Which I had not heard, because I was rummaging in my room unpacking. He got so freaked out that he left the light on sleeping. Mind you the weirdest is yet to come. During the night there were strange noises, which I was still not concerned about, because I thought these were seagulls on the roof or mice or something. After all we were in the country side and I grew up on a farm so I am used to noises and wee gritters bobbing about. I just fell asleep.
Yet, my friend spend the rest of the night wide awake, and when we went to breakfast the owner of the B&B asked us expectantly, if something had disturbed us during the night. My friend looked at me questioningly but I said innocently: No. Upon which she looked at us astounded asking: Really, are you sure that no one disturbed you? – That was the point I got suspicious. No one?
Kuppelchen tend to be what we call Schlawiner (little rascals), whilst they love to hide things and play little tricks; these tricks are never mean (as long as you are not mean either).

Nearshore Wave Propagation
Markus Brühl, Dr
Senior Researcher in Coastal Engineering
Technische Universität Braunschweig, Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources
The research project "Generation of Extreme Transient Waves in Experimental Models" (ExTraWaG) aims to accurately generate target transient wave profile at a pre-defined position in the wave flume (transfer point) under shallow water conditions. For this purpose, the KdV-based nonlinear Fourier transform (KdV-NLFT) is introduced as a continuative wave analysis method and is applied to investigate the nonlinear spectral character of experimental wave data. Furthermore, the method is applied to generate transient nonlinear waves at specific locations in the wave flume, considering the nonlinear transformation and interactions of the propagating waves. Results of the project will be presented.

I am dealing with a project and for now I can get analog signals from my sensors and with PIC's ADC, convert them to digital datas. Besides, via USB I can transfer all the datas to my windows application (user interface) which is made by C#. When I look into my inputbuffer, all the datas there.
 1. My problem is after these steps, how can I draw these datas as a continuous signal? I use ZedGraph and I want to observe my sensor datas as a continuous signal. I know how to draw something using ZedGraph. I even drew my inputbuffer only one time. But still I cannot manage it as a continuous signal.
 2. Which architecture is more suitable for me? Should I use circular buffer?
 3. Can I use PerformanceCounter class as my custom events such as drawing my sensor datas or this class is only useful for system events?

You could create a Performance Counter, that is easy to do.
Drawing the graph yourself is a bit harder:
 1. (I take it you mean by continuous signal a line instead of points) Just draw a line from the previous position to the current position.
 2. A circular buffer might help (although the oldest data should shift back in I think) but you still need to keep track of the previous position so you know how to draw the line. Make sure you shift the buffer in proportion to the time elapsed.
 3. An alternative would be to be to push the data to an Excelsheet and use the charts there.

I will try it out now. – Ereg May 17 '11 at 19:54
Can't you just assign a timestamp to each data point in your sample? Then you should be able to easily plot the sample using time as X-axis and value as Y-axis with zed-graph, only need to adjust some parameters like line smoothing etc.

Cahercommaun Stone Fort
Cahercommaun, Co Clare
Phone: _PHONE_ 999
Cahercommaun is situated on a burren hilltop over looking a wooded valley. The fort itself is quite worn down by time. The aerial shots you can see here give the best view of the structure. At ground level the walls are quite spread out and it is much more difficult to visualise what the whole structure must have looked like in it's prime.
Burren ringforts such as this would have been home to a large extended family group after it's excavation in the 1930's the archaeologists concluded that Cahercommaun would have been home to and extended family of at least 40 people. These archaeologists also excavated other sites in the Burren area.
The economy of these family groups was based largely on argriculture. It is likely that ringforts were at the centre of what would now days be quite large farms. Trade would have been quite limited at the time so it is likely that these family goups were largely self sufficient. Among the artifacts discovered during these excavations were wooden spindles used in the process of weaving.

Flesh flies - Family Sarcophagidae
Flesh flies are stripey-backed or chequered flies, often with bright red eyes. They arrive at corpses slightly later than the pioneer blowflies, but the eggs hatch in the uterus of the female, before she lays them, with the result that the larvae are deposited directly on the body. This allows them to catch up on the blowflies, whose eggs take around 24 hours to hatch.
Adult flesh flies still sometimes find themselves in competition with blowflies, as they fight for the best laying sites. When several flies attempt to lay in the same site, flesh flies can often be observed using their legs to kick other flies that stray too close.
Flesh fly pupae can remain dormant for long periods. Maggots of some Sarcophaga species hibernate as pupae in autumn and do not emerge as adult flies until late spring. Flesh flies often emerge in people's houses after feeding on dead possums in their ceiling.


Real-time Optimal Drilling Parameter Recommendations
Limit unnecessary trips in and out of the hole, maximize ROP, and reduce bit wear. All in real-time.
Safer and More efficient Drilling
QDrill recommends the optimal drilling parameters and provides updated formation tops – all in real-time. The formation properties can be delivered at the bit or ahead of the bit to give drilling engineers the necessary lead time to make proper decisions.
A Hub for Optimal Drilling Parameters
QDrill provides a closed-loop system that provides real-time optimal drilling parameters to drillers. After sifting through historical drilling data, our data scientists have developed a power machine learning solution that delivers the knowledge of decades of drilling in real-time to the rig.
Maximized - Optimized ROP
QDrill generates real-time unconfined compressive strength (RT-UCS) by processing the data already collected during the drilling process. By comparing trends in RT-UCS and mechanical specific energy (MSE), the software is able to distinguish between changes in formation properties versus energy misapplication leading to drilling dysfunction. Now the driller can maintain or return to the efficient drilling window.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Mocha Stone
MOCHA STONE, a name applied to chalcedony with dendritic markings, said to have been obtained originally from Mocha in Arabia. The markings which sometimes simulate with curious fidelity the form of miniature trees and shrubs, are caused by the infiltration of solutions carrying iron and manganese, which are deposited as thin films of oxide along the cracks of the stone, producing black, brown or red dendrites, effectively disposed on a ground of grey or white chalcedony. Most of the Mocha stones of commerce are obtained from India, where they are found among the agate-pebbles resulting from the disintegration of the trap rocks of the Deccan. In recent years the formation of dendrites has been artificially effected at the agate-works of Oberstein, so as to imitate the true Mocha stones.
