A BAL 40 rating is the bush fire attack level and made to protect buildings from burning and from direct exposure to flames and high radiant heat.
The BAL 40 rules state the design and types of materials you can use:
- External walls
- Floors & subfloors
- External windows & doors
- Verandas, decks & patios
- Water & gas supply pipes
The BAL 40 requirements can add significantly to the cost of building so be sure to check this.
Please be aware that this article offers guidance only.
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
Description of predicted bushfire attack and levels of exposure
There is not sufficient risk to warrant exposure
Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by wind borne embers together with increasing heat flux between 12.5 and 19kW/m2
Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by wind borne embers together with increasing heat flux between 19 and 29kW/m220
Increasing levels of ember attack and burning debris ignited by wind borne embers together with increasing heat flux with the increased likelihood of exposure to flames
Direct exposure to flames from fire front in addition to heat flux and ember attack
You must seek professional advice and check your intended design complies with Council and code requirements before you go ahead with any building project.
It's good to check with your council to see on your specific block what your BAL rating is. Once you know that you can go on the hunt for the right building materials and builder.
We recommend if you're in or around the ACT and NSW especially the south coast to get your block rated and to know where you can build on a rural block is to contact a bush fire assessor. We highly recommend and have used Jeff who is full of wonderful information and reports the work with council in getting your building approved.

More information: Otten, Pinto, Paffen, Seth & Kanai (in press). The Uniformity Illusion: Central stimuli can determine peripheral perception. Psychological Science
Four examples of the uniformity illusion with motion as an example.
- Open the video fullscreen.
- Keep your eyes fixated on the centre of the screen for a good amount of time (tens of seconds to minutes).
- In the first two examples the central stimuli are present from the start, in the latter two the central stimuli appear after a while. The first and the third example contain no fixation spot, the second and the fourth do. Some people find that the illusion works better without a fixation spot, but you can try out which works best for yourself.
- The fifth example is similar to the third, but now all the motion is much slower.
For more information, see the text below the examples.
In all examples the dots in the periphery rotate four times as fast as the central dots, but all dots seem to be going at the same speed after a while. When the central stimuli appear later (in the latter two examples), it leads, for some people, to a more dramatic effect. Now the peripheral stimuli abruptly appear to slow down. In the last example there can be some strange effects, because now the central motion is very slow. Again the peripheral motion is four times faster than the central motion. When the centre is empty, the periphery can be seen to move slowly and smoothly. However, when the central moving dots appear, the whole screen sometimes seems to become static. The peripheral motion can seem jerky at moments, as if it stops and goes.

During the audit, there was a follow-up of how SH maintains its safety-critical barriers and how the organisation utilises information from other incidents in the group and relevant international incidents. In addition, the status of working hours schemes was followed up.
Background for the audit
The PSA is to set standards for and follow up to ensure that the players in the petroleum activities maintain high standards as regards health, safety and the environment, and thereby also contribute towards creating the greatest possible values for the Norwegian society.
The PSA shall also contribute towards reducing the risk level in the petroleum activities by following up the players to ensure that they promote technical and operational integrity on the facilities, and also follow up the interplay between people/technology/organisation (MTO) in HSE-critical systems.
The facility has been through a long period with a high level of activity and simultaneous operation. Risk management and learning from incidents are important elements in achieving good processes to increase safety on the facility.
The audit was conducted on the basis of the temporary regulations dated 19 December 2003 relating to safety and the working environment for certain land-based petroleum facilities and associated pipeline systems (temporary regulations), and regulations relating to systematic health, environment and safety work in enterprises (the Internal Control Regulations).
Purpose of the audit
Safety critical barriers must be safeguarded in a unified and consistent manner, so that the risk of major accidents is reduced as far as possible. The PSA achieves this by
Result of the audit
No non-conformities were identified in connection with the audit. The report contains five observations with a potential for improvement:

The analysis of human motion is an important task in various surveillance applications. Getting 3D information through a calibrated system might enhance the benefits of such analysis. This paper presents a novel technique to automatically recover both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters for each surveillance camera within a camera network by only using a walking human. The same feature points of a pedestrian are taken to calculate each camera's intrinsic parameters and to determine the relative orientations of multiple cameras within a network as well as the absolute positions within a common coordinate system. Experimental results, showing the accuracy and the practicability, are presented at the end of the paper.

Historic papers reveal life of Edwardian schoolgirls
Forgotten archives show how young women were groomed in grammar and housewifery
Thousands of old photographs, exam papers, magazines and books unearthed from the cellars of some of the country's leading girls' schools have revealed a remarkable picture of school life in Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
File after file emerged after school heads were encouraged by the Girls' Schools Association to scour their buildings for historic documents. Among them were stories of girls taught to be dutiful housewives who could wash shirt cuffs properly and control household dust, and children as young as 11 sitting down to tough examinations in which they were expected to be able to draw maps of the physical geography of Australia and tackle questions of grammar such as identifying predicates in passages of writing.
The documents, which will be a goldmine for historians, also held accounts of university life from as early as 1883, when young women would fit tennis and tea parties around eight hours of study each day.
The initiative has only just been launched, but already thousands of photographs have been discovered, including sepia-tinted images of girls in long skirts and boaters with hockey sticks, sitting attentively and upright in assembly and attending lessons ranging from science and botany to how best to iron.
Independent schools such as the Cheltenham Ladies' College, Manchester High School for Girls, North London Collegiate, Wycombe Abbey and Queenswood are among those spearheading the project. The reams of information provide an amazing insight into the changing professions, values and family set-up for women over the decades.
'This is a huge historical resource that is untapped,' said Christine Joy, the archivist at Manchester High. 'We have a resource of national importance.'
In 1915, the 11-year-olds facing a geography exam were asked to make a sketch map showing the position of the Dardanelles and the adjoining seas and countries and to describe a journey from Moscow to Vladivostok, noting the chief products of each region.
Among the piles of papers were descriptions of political debates about the rights of women, similar to those happening today, according to Joy. There were school records for some of the leaders of the Suffragette movement and magazines filled with advice for women on how to break into law, medicine and academia.
For the less academic, there were also housewifery and secretarial courses. A 1910 syllabus on housewifery lists how women must learn to test the freshness of eggs, remove stains such as ink, coffee and tar and arrange a home laundry.
In a time when fees ranged from £3 to £5 a term, one module was entitled 'The housewife, her ideals, responsibilities and duties'. Girls were then taught how to dispose of kitchen refuse, spring-clean and manage servants.
There were records from universities as well. In 1883 a woman wrote a description of her life at Girton College, Cambridge, where she said it was not 'all work and no play'. After eight hours of study there was 'an ample margin for tennis, walks and other amusements, and also for social intercourse - tea parties being the favourite form of this latter'. At 10.30pm, she added, 'by common consent of the students, disturbing noises, such as piano playing, cease'.
The information is being seized on by historians. John Black, an academic at Bristol Business School, is using the papers to track when women began working in different professions.
'This can open the doors to wider knowledge than we had before,' said Black, who felt that the records would break down stereotypes that suggested middle-class women stayed at home in the early 20th century. 'Lots of women were focusing on "we have rights, too, we can have a career and be just as good as men".'
The information spans from the late 19th century up to the present. It shows how women moved from entering the 'caring' professions, such as teaching and social work, to becoming doctors and lawyers and in time successful businesswomen. There are also accounts of early successes, including one woman who was at school in the Thirties and went on to have four children and become a QC.
At the Cheltenham Ladies' College, principal Vicky Tuck said it was crucial schools kept hold of original objects and pictures. 'We make sure we are always putting new stuff in, because nowadays everything is stored in the computer,' Tuck said. 'When someone comes to write the history of the early 21st century, I wonder what will be there.'
Testing times: Some examination questions set for 11-year-olds in 1915
Give as nearly as possible the position of Alsace-Lorraine, Liege, the Marne, the Carpathians, Antwerp.
Name the chief seaports on the east coast of Great Britain. Give the chief exports and imports of any three of them.
Name the English sovereigns with their dates between 1689 and the present day.
Write a life of either Florence Nightingale or of Lord Roberts.

|Slender-billed Miner (Geositta tenuirostris)|
Geositta is a genus of passerine birds in the ovenbird family, Furnariidae. They are known as miners (not to be confused with the unrelated miners, Manorina, of Australia) due to the tunnels they dig for nesting. There are 11 species including the Campo Miner (Geositta poeciloptera) which was formerly classified in a genus of its own, Geobates. They inhabit open country in South America, particularly the Andean and Patagonian regions. They are ground-dwelling birds, somewhat resembling the larks and wheatears of other continents. They are mostly drab brown in coloration and often have a fairly long and slender bill.

This paper presents a new learning control structure using broad learning system (BLS) for adaptive PID-like control of unknown digital nonlinear dynamic systems with time delays. The proposed control method, abbreviated as BLS-APIDLC, is novel in combining BLS and model predictive control to develop a new PID-like control law for high-performance setpoint tracking control and disturbance rejection. Comparative simulations on two renowned nonlinear digital time-delay systems are well used to show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method by comparing to four existing methods. I

text: White grape variety, predominantly known for being the grape of Campania's Fiano di Avellino DOCG in Southern Italy. Fiano is an ancient Roman variety, potentially the grape used in the production of Apianum (an acclaimed ancient wine from the Roman times). It is low yielding and produces very little juice, which prompted growers to replace it with other higher yielding varieties in the 19th and 20th century. However thanks to modern winemaking techniques as well as a demand for indigenous, classic grapes, production is currently increasing. The grape is also used in the McLaren Vale region of Australia; where production is small but increasing.

Instead of connecting the elevator's winch to a motor, connect it to a Continuously Variable Transmission.
Connect this CVT to a really tall drive shaft, which goes down from the winch & CVT at the top of the elevator shaft, to a utility room at the bottom of the shaft.
At the bottom of the drive
shaft, connect a positive displacement reversible water pump -- a pump which can either send water up, consuming power, or which can lower water down, generating power. This pump should be connected to two water storage tanks -- one at the top of the building, and the other at the bottom.
When the elevator is going up, the pump (acting as a motor) lowers water from the upper tank to the lower, generating power. The CVT is adjusted to the correct gear ratio so that the torque produced by the pump to produce the right amount of lifting power.
When the elevator is going down, the pump lifts water from the lower tank to the upper. Again, the CVT is used as necessary to control the rate of power transferred from the elevator to the pump.

Image Processing with Pulse Coupled Neural Networks

The Second International Forum on Multimedia and Image Processing,
World Automation Congress 2000, Wailea, Maui, HI (2000)
The Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) differs from conventional Artificial Neural Networks by having time dependent output and not requiring training (supervised or unsupervised). The basic PCNN algorithm consists of five coupled equations, one of which is non-linear. In an image processing application, the PCNN output takes the form of a series of pulses that are a function of the input intensity. The brighter the pixel, the more frequently it pulses. Two of the PCNN functions interconnect with neighboring cells, in one case with a constant weight in the other with various convolution kernels. By adjusting these interconnection weights (choosing an appropriate kernel), PCNNs can be used for a number of image processing functions. For example we may use the PCNN to resample an image into a smaller intensity lookup table (intensity compression) or use it to filter out intensity dependent high spatial frequency noise. The pulse train for a given image repeats over time, however, the time a pulse is triggered at each pixel changes. We can perform statistical analysis on a series of pulse trains. A statistical average of these pulse trains can be used to reconstruct a cleaned up image. This average image also represents a 3D icon of the image. Other examples from current research will be given.

Observational studies report inverse associations between the use of feather upper bedding (pillow and/or quilt) and asthma symptoms but there is no randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence assessing the role of feather upper bedding as a secondary prevention measure.
To determine whether, among children not using feather upper bedding, a new feather pillow and feather quilt reduces asthma severity among house dust mite (HDM) sensitised children with asthma over a 1-year period compared with standard dust mite avoidance advice, and giving children a new mite-occlusive mattress cover.
The Calvary Hospital in the Australian Capital Territory and the Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney, New South Wales.
197 children with HDM sensitisation and moderate to severe asthma.
New upper bedding duck feather pillow and quilt and a mite-occlusive mattress cover (feather) versus standard care and a mite-occlusive mattress cover (standard).
Main outcome measures
The proportion of children reporting four or more episodes of wheeze in the past year; an episode of speech-limiting wheeze; or one or more episodes of sleep disturbance caused by wheezing; and spirometry with challenge testing. Statistical analysis included multiple logistic and linear regression.
No differences between groups were found for primary end points – frequent wheeze (OR 1.51, 95% CI 0.83 to 2.76, p=0.17), speech-limiting wheeze (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.32 to 1.48, p=0.35), sleep disturbed because of wheezing (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.64 to 2.13, p=0.61) or for any secondary end points. Secondary analyses indicated the intervention reduced the risk of sleep being disturbed because of wheezing and severe wheeze to a greater extent for children who slept supine.
No differences in respiratory symptoms or lung function were observed 1 year after children with moderate–severe asthma and HDM sensitisation were given a mite-occlusive mattress cover and then received either feather upper bedding (pillow and quilt) or standard bedding care.

Running your iPad with a wireless connection can work well for most. But if you are running a continuous application like Robin, in a space where frequent wifi drop offs are common you may want to consider hardwiring your iPads to run off an ethernet connection.
What do I need to connect my iPad to a wired ethernet?
The iPad doesn't offer an ethernet port so you will need a few adapters. We've tested and confirmed the following set up, but other adapter configurations may work, too.
Once you have the correct adapters setting up ethernet is simple.
- First disable both wifi and bluetooth on your iPad.
- Plug the lightning end of the lightning to USB camera adapter into the iPad.
- Connect the iPad power supply and usb ethernet adapter into the lightning to usb camera adapter.
- Lastly plug one end of the ethernet cable into the usb ethernet adapter, and the other end into your router or ethernet wall outlet.
After a few moments you can confirm your iPad is connected to the internet via wired ethernet connection when the "Ethernet" tab appears in the settings.

.map(adata =>
new ExamScoreAction({ score: adata })),

}),
));
}
}
The ofType() operator filters the observer for the type of actions specified resulting in a new observable that is placed on the effects$ class property. The library @ngrx/effects will take this observable and dispatch its actions until completed by means of the @Effect() decorator.
In response to ExamEndAction, the code emits an ExamStatusAction immediately and then takes the state for the exam and questions info and filters for their availability. The function getExamData()extracts from the store's state the info we need if available, returning null otherwise.
function getExamData(storeState: State)
{
if (!storeState.exam
|| !AsyncDataSer.hasData(storeState.exam.data, false)
|| !storeState.questions
|| !AsyncDataSer.hasData(storeState.questions.data, false))
return null;
return {
examInfo: storeState.exam.data.data,
questions: storeState.questions.data.data,
};
}
Then, the code takes that info and pipes in a concatenation of the action ExamScoreAction with the result of calling examEvalService.evalQuestions() mapped onto an ExamScoreAction action. The evalQuestions() function asynchronously computes the score.
The effect for the EXAM_START is in essence very similar to the effect for EXAM_END just presented. It is a bit more complex, but it really is just more RxJS, fetching questions info from server and producing a timer that can be interrupted if the exam status change in the Redux state. I will not go through that code, since my purpose here is not to show how to use ReactiveX to solve problems, but to show how to apply Redux effects to implement some logic around state and services.
The files "router-*.effects.ts" implement the effects for the navigation actions, indicated in the bottom of part 1 of this series of articles. The only main difference from the exam start and end effects above, is that besides triggering on an action, they inspect the action payload to match the effect. They need to know if the navigation is to a specific page. This is accomplished with the help of a library named "router-store-ser". See more on that repository.
Summary
In this article, we just saw how to implement business logic in a Redux with effects architecture. Starting from the kind of planning I've made (discussed on the previous article) it maps easily. I think the only complex part is the use of ReactiveX to kind of declaratively implement what normally is thought out in an imperative way. A future challenge could be to find a way to do the planning already in a declarative/reactive form, making the implementation really straightforward.
On the next article we'll see how the all business logic can be unit tested without even have any UI written yet.
Have fun!

SIMS Instrumentation: SIMS Primary Ion Sources
Typical SIMS instruments use either a duoplasmatron or a surface ionization primary ion source (or both).
The duoplasmatron can operate with virtually any gas, but oxygen is the most common because oxygen implantation into the sample surface enhances ionization efficiency for electropositive elements. Before this oxygen enhancement effect was discovered, argon was commonly used. The oxygen plasma within the duoplasmatron source contains both O- and O2+, and either can be extracted.
The cesium surface ionization source produces Cs+ ions as Cs atoms vaporize through a porous tungsten plug.

Review, The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine
Author Todd Kliman's history of the American grape, Norton's Virginia Seedling, starts off in an almost sultry manner as he teases the reader by veiling his intent. What begins to look like an unhealthy promotion of a single vineyard, Chrysalis, breaks the bonds of being a wine book and launches into the story of an American epic, a battle against nature and God: the stuff of Manifest Destiny as fought by American outsiders.


How To Make Flavored Salts
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
From the ingredients you use to the foods you put them on, flavored salts are wide open to your imagination. Start with a flaky salt, add herbs, spices, or other ingredients, and you have a quick, unique way to season everything from sliced tomatoes to chocolate cakes. They make wonderful edible gifts, too.
Here's a step-by-step recipe with basic ratios to get you started, plus tips for how to use seasoned salts, and a few of our favorite ingredient combinations.
What You Need
Basic formula: Start with a ratio of 1 teaspoon flavorings per 1/4 cup salt. Increase flavorings to taste.
Salt: Coarser, flakier salts are preferable for their texture and appearance. Try kosher salt (least expensive option), Maldon salt, or fleur de sel. If all you have is regular table salt, you can use that with a higher proportion of flavorings.
Flavorings: Use your imagination! Think herbs, spices, chile peppers, citrus peel, edible flowers, tea leaves or powder (matcha), mushrooms, dehydrated fruits and vegetables (garlic, onions, tomatoes). Flavor ingredients should be dry in order to prevent clumping; see instructions below.
Measuring cups and spoons
Oven / food dehydrator (optional)
Mortar and pestle / coffee or spice grinder / food processor (optional)
Baking sheet (optional)
Airtight container
1. Prepare flavorings: Ingredients should be dry and small (ground, chopped, flaked).
If necessary, dry ingredients in the oven at a low temperature (150-200°F) or in a dehydrator.
- Fresh herbs may be air or oven dried, dehydrated, or microwaved.
- Citrus such as lemon, orange, and lime may be grated or peeled into strips before drying in the oven or dehydrator. You can also use whole, dried citrus slices.
- Instructions for oven drying fresh mushrooms may be found here.
2. Combine flavorings and salt: Start with 1 teaspoon flavorings and 1/4 cup salt. Combine using your fingers, a mortar and pestle, or pulse in a coffee or spice grinder or food processor. Mix well but avoid pulverizing the salt. Taste and increase the amount of flavorings, if desired.
3. Store: Store salt in an airtight container. Ideally, let it sit at least a day before using. Intensity of flavor will diminish over time, but it can last for up to a year.
4. Use: The potential uses are endless! Try sprinkling flavored salts on...
Avocado toast
- Brownies
- Fruit salad (just a little bit!)
Fried foods like tempura and french fries
- Grilled meats
- Poached or scrambled eggs
- Popcorn
- Fresh ricotta or baked feta (serve as an appetizer with bread)
- Rims of cocktail glasses
- Roasted vegetables
- Sliced tomatoes
- Soups and stews
Additional Notes:
A few great combinations to try:
Chile-Lime Salt: 1/4 cup salt + 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes + 1 teaspoon dried lime zest + 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Citrus-Rosemary Salt: 1/4 cup salt + 1/2 teaspoon dried lemon zest + 1/2 teaspoon dried orange zest + 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Lavender Salt: 1/4 cup salt + 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
Saffron-Fennel Salt: 1/4 cup salt + 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads + 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Vanilla-Cinnamon Salt: 1/4 cup salt + seeds from 1 vanilla bean + 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 types of Avoidant Coping to Catch Yourself Doing
Avoidant coping is about trying to avoid experiencing painful thoughts, feelings, memories, or sensations.
Here are two types you should try to learn to recognize in yourself.
Type 1. Avoiding situations.
Type 2. Avoiding behaviours.
Doing either of these types is likely to be limiting your happiness and success so it will help you to learn how to spot 'em.
For example, someone who is anxious about committing in relationships might
1. avoid getting into emotional relationships (thereby avoiding situations likely to trigger his/her commitment anxiety).
2. Once in relationships, avoid enacting behaviours that increase his/her commitment anxiety (e.g. avoid saying I love you, avoid making joint purchases)

Hornsby Shire Council has acquired a valuable memento of Brooklyn's significant role in shaping our nation – an original Australian five pound note that features a picture of the village.
The first Australian five pound note was issued in 1913 and showed Brooklyn from the hillside above the Sanatorium Hotel, looking out over the inlet to Kangaroo Point.
"It was a fitting tribute to a community that helped create one of the major foundation stones of our nation," Hornsby Shire Mayor Steve Russell said.
"When Sir Henry Parkes attended the opening of the Hawkesbury River Railway Bridge in 1889, he saw it as a symbol that Australia was ready to become a nation and gave one of his most notable federation speeches."
According to Sir Henry Parkes, the bridge was nationally significant because it made it possible to travel from Brisbane to Melbourne and Adelaide by train.
"We have formed communication by railway which may be said to bind the whole population of Australia in one chain," he said at the opening.
At the time the note was issued five pounds represented more than the average weekly wage of a man and more than double the weekly wage of a woman.
Today the note is worth more than $2000 and will be proudly displayed within Hornsby Shire Council Chambers.

CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)
Issue/Introduction
Where does NFA get the device IP from?
Devices will not show up in the NFA GUI with the network address. Network engineers must just a source address.
Environment
Release:
Component: NQRPTA
Resolution
To choose a source address you must choose an active interface with an IP Address on the device to source the flow.
Traditional Netflow example:
router1 (config)# ip flow-export source loopback0
Flexible Netflow example:
router1 (config)# flow exporter EXPORTER-1
router1 (config-flow-exporter)# loopback0
If a network engineer changes the source address, NFA will treat the new address as a separate router.
Recommendations:
 - Use the loopback address
 - Don't switch source addresses if you don't want data to split over different devices.

# Get the length of an Object in TypeScript
To get the length of an object in TypeScript:
 1. Use the Object.keys() method to get an array of the object's keys.
 2. Access the length property on the array of keys.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'bobby hadz', age: 30 }; // 👇 const length: number const len = Object.keys(obj).length; console.log(len); // 👉 3
get length of object in typescript
The code for this article is available on GitHub
We used the Object.keys method to get an array of the object's keys.
index.ts
// 👇 ['id', 'name'] console.log(Object.keys({ id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz' }));
The only parameter the method takes is the object for which the keys are returned.
The last step is to access the length property on the array to get the number of key-value pairs in the object.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'bobby hadz', age: 30 }; // 👇 const length: number const len = Object.keys(obj).length; console.log(len); // 👉 3
Alternatively, you can use a for...in loop.
An alternative approach is to initialize a length variable, set it to 0 and use a for...in loop to iterate over the object.
# Get the Length of an Object using a for...in loop in TypeScript
This is a three-step process:
 1. Declare a length variable and initialize it to 0.
 2. Use a for...in loop to iterate over the object.
 3. Increment the value of the length variable on each iteration.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz', age: 30 }; let len = 0; for (const key in obj) { if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) { len += 1; } } console.log(len); // 👉 3
The code for this article is available on GitHub
The for...in loops iterates over the object's enumerable properties, including the inherited ones.
This is why we had to use the Object.hasOwnProperty method to check if the property exists directly on the object or is inherited.
We only increment the length variable if the property exists directly on the object.
After the last iteration, the length variable stores a number representing the length of the object.
# Get the Length of an Object using Object.values()
You can also use the Object.values() method to get the length of an object.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz', age: 30 }; const len = Object.values(obj).length; console.log(len); // 👉 3
get length of object using object values
The code for this article is available on GitHub
The Object.values() method returns an array of the object's values.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz', age: 30 }; // 👇 [ 1, 'Bobby Hadz', 30 ] console.log(Object.values(obj));
# Get the Length of an Object using Object.entries()
The Object.entries() method can also be used to get an object's length.
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz', age: 30 }; const len = Object.entries(obj).length; console.log(len); // 👉 3
get length of object using object entries
The code for this article is available on GitHub
The Object.entries method returns an array of the object's key-value pairs
index.ts
interface Person { id: number; name: string; age: number; } const obj: Person = { id: 1, name: 'Bobby Hadz', age: 30 }; // 👇 [ [ 'id', 1 ], [ 'name', 'Bobby Hadz' ], [ 'age', 30 ] ] console.log(Object.entries(obj));
The first element in each nested array is the key and the second is the value.
Which approach you pick is a matter of personal preference. I'd use the Object.keys() method as it is most commonly used to get an object's length and is quite intuitive.
I wrote a book in which I share everything I know about how to become a better, more efficient programmer.

5 benefits of storing your food in beeswax wraps
This Blog was written by Sarah from Primrose and Co
Bees wax wraps are a reusable alternative to plastic wrap. Change your habits for good by changing to reusable bees wraps for wrapping your food instead of single-use plastic! Then at the end of your bees wraps life, either compost it at home, use it as a natural fire starter or re-wax it using one of our DIY wax blocks to refresh it! The average family uses 24 rolls of plastic cling wrap per year. Unfortunately cling wrap isn't reusable and is rarely recycled.
5 benefits of storing your food in beeswax wraps:
1. Beeswax wraps last ages + save you money
The average cost of a kitchen three-pack of bees wraps is $25-$30.

3. Beeswax wraps are home compostable!
Unlike plastic cling wrap, beeswax wraps will break down into compost.

5. Beeswax has antimicrobial properties
Like honey, beeswax has been shown to have antimicrobial properties that help keep things clean which is great when dealing with food. Beeswax also has antifungal properties preventing the growth of yeasts and other fungi.
With so many beneficial properties, beeswax is a healthy and harmless alternative to plastic for storing food in. Beeswax wraps use the natural power of beeswax to protect and store your food in a safe way as a plastic wrap alternative. Since beeswax is waterproof, it keeps unwanted moisture out of food while trapping the food's natural moisture in.

How to simulate HTML5 Drag and Drop in Selenium Webdriver?
We can simulate HTML5 drag and drop with Selenium webdriver. This is a feature that gets implemented if an element is dragged from its position and dropped on another element in another position.
Actions class in Selenium is used for taking care of this functionality. The drag_and_drop(source, target) is the available method under Actions class for carrying out this task. We have to import from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains to our code to use this method of Actions class.
Let us take the two elements and try to drag the first element on to the second element.
Example
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium import webdriver
 driver = webdriver.Chrome (executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe")
 driver.implicitly_wait(0.5)
 driver.get("_URL_
 driver.switch_to.frame(0)
 # identify source and destination elements
 s=driver.find_element_by_id("draggable")
 d=driver.find_element_by_id("droppable")
 # action object creation
 a = ActionChains(driver)
 a.drag_and_drop(s,d).perform()
driver.close()
Output

The history of the Parish Church is a long and interesting one. There were originally three separate parishes each with their own churches, Creeting St Mary, Creeting All Saints and Creeting St Olave. St Olave had ceased to be used regularly by about 1553 but All Saints continued to 1801 when it was pulled down and the stones used to create a north aisle. The parishes are all consolidated into Creeting St Mary. The churches of All Saints and particularly St Olave were investigated in a Millenium Project. More information here
A leaflet written in 1958 provides a good history of the parishes and their churches. Creeting St Mary Church History
This article published in the Suffolk Chronicle and Mercury in 1932 in the series Pocket Histories of Suffolk also gives some interesting details. Pocket History – Creeting St Mary (although it gets the details about the tower wrong!)
The churchyard around the church of Creeting St Mary records the lives and deaths of many parishioners from the village over many years. he village WI completed a full survey of all the graves in the churchyard in 1981.
A summary of the work undertaken can be seen here. WI Grave survey
A full plan of the churchyard was produced, which was revised in 1990. Creeting St Mary Churchyard Plan.
The inscriptions on every grave were recorded and this can be seen here. Full Graveyard Survey
A war memorial records the fallen in two world wars.
The full inscription is recorded here. War Memorial Inscriptions
Research has also been done into the lives of some of those recorded on the memorial. These can be read here. The Lost Men of Creeting

Scandinavian art and architecture
The Renaissance and Baroque Period
Foreign stylistic influence persisted through the Renaissance and baroque periods, the North German school of Lübeck becoming more and more the chief source for Scandinavian styles. Castles such as Gripsholm exemplify this borrowing habit. Great castle-building activity was instigated by the Danish and Swedish rulers of the 16th to 18th cent.; outstanding examples include Kronborg (c.1570–1590) and Fredriksborg (c.1560–1620) castles and the rebuilt castle of Stockholm (1690–1708; 1727–53).

Ferulic Acid
Does Ferulic Acid Cause Cancer
2 Mins read
Ferulic acid is an antioxidant compound that is found in many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, apples, and tomatoes. It is known for its ability to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, and it has been studied for its potential health benefits. However, some people are concerned that ferulic acid may increase the risk of cancer. In this article, we will explore the truth about ferulic acid and cancer and provide scientific evidence that it is safe.
The Truth About Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is found in many foods. It is a type of phenolic acid that is commonly found in the seeds of plants and is part of the lignin and cell wall components. It has been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties.
SEE ALSO: Is Ferulic Acid Irritating
Debunking the Myth of Ferulic Acid and Cancer
There is a myth that ferulic acid can cause cancer, but this is not true. In fact, many studies have shown that ferulic acid may have anti-cancer properties. For example, a study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that ferulic acid could inhibit the growth of cancer cells in the colon.
Scientific Evidence: Ferulic Acid is Safe
Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the safety of ferulic acid, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. For example, a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that ferulic acid was safe and well-tolerated in humans. Another study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology found that ferulic acid had no toxic effects on the liver, kidney, or other organs.

Experts Agree: Ferulic Acid Does Not Cause Cancer
Experts in the field of nutrition and cancer agree that ferulic acid is safe and does not cause cancer. The American Institute for Cancer Research, for example, lists ferulic acid as a compound that may have anti-cancer properties. The National Cancer Institute also lists ferulic acid as a potential cancer-fighting compound.
Ferulic Acid and its Benefits for Health
Ferulic acid has been studied for its potential health benefits, and the results have been promising. For example, a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that ferulic acid could protect the skin from damage caused by UV radiation. Another study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that ferulic acid could help reduce inflammation in the body.

OELRICHS, S.D. — Call it the Grotto of Black Hills Geology.
The historical rock grotto that sits beside a closed Catholic church in Oelrichs is actually a shrine to St. Therese of the Little Flower, but the structure is also an impressive monument to the geological history of southwestern South Dakota.
More than 15 different types of collectible minerals, gemstones, fossils and petrified wood are stacked and grouted into a structure that stands about 12 feet high, 16 feet long and 6 feet deep. The rocks that comprise it come from the prairie agate fields and Badlands fossil beds to the east and the Black Hills caves and mineral deposits to the west. It contains specimens of stalagtites and stalagmites, rose quartz, prairie agates, crystal geodes, schitz, mica, selenite clusters, sandstone clusters, petrified moss, fossilized coral and much more.
Rock hound Ellen Tilley, who also serves as president of the Western South Dakota Gem and Mineral Society, has never seen the Oelrichs grotto, but, like any rock hound worth her minerals, said she is anxious to visit what Oelrichs native and Sturgis resident Delores Muhm calls a "little gem hidden in Oelrichs."
"I've seen a lot of grottos, but not one more beautiful than this one," Muhm said.
The grotto also is unusual in that it honors the patron saint of missions and missionaries, not the more common Catholic icon, the Blessed Virgin Mary, in spite of what the historic marker in front of it says.
It was constructed between 1932 and 1934 by the Rev. Gerhard Stakemeier, then-resident priest at St. Martin Catholic Church and a rock hound himself, with the help of the only other bachelor in the parish at the time — who would become Muhm's father.
"My dad was the only one in the church that wasn't married at that time," recalled Muhm's brother, Nick Bogner, of their father, who homesteaded at Oelrichs in 1909. Using his wooden-spoked Buick to pull a Model T trailer, the elder Bogner made many trips to Wind Cave to load up rocks that were brought above ground as cave enthusiasts explored and enlarged Wind Cave.
"They brought a lot of those rocks out from the cave when they were widening rooms in the cave," Bogner said. "He must have made 20, 30, 40 trips up there for a load of rocks. It must have taken him a year and half."
Many of the other rocks came from the surrounding prairies, Badlands and ranches in the area, including an impressive selection of Fairburn agates — the official state gemstone of South Dakota. Over the years, vandals made off with those highly prized specimens, and today there are none to be found in it.
"There were quite a few Fairburn agates in it, but people chipped them out," Bogner said.
Bogner, 80, still lives on the ranch that his father homesteaded 103 years ago and he is the primary caretaker of the grotto, the church and the priest's house, all of which were placed or have been placed on state and national historical registers in 2002, after the church was closed as an active parish in 1999.
One of the requirements of its historical designation is that St. Martin's grotto and church be open to the public at least 12 hours a year, so Bogner hosts an open house each Labor Day and Memorial Day. On Sept. 3, the buildings and grotto will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to the general public, including rock hounds like Tilley.
Tilley says western South Dakota's unique geological history on display at the grotto is one of the reasons that it is ranked fifth in the nation for rock-hounding locations by national magazines in that field.
"South Dakota was part of a great inland sea at one time, which is why we have so many marine fossils," Tilley said.
The Black Hills, home to more than 140 minerals that can be mined, also make it a prime location to hunt rocks. That's something that King and Tilley have done all their lives. Gold, mica and feldspar are three of the most common minerals, and rose quartz is so prevalent — there is more of it in the Black Hills than any place in the world — that it has been named the official state mineral.
"Why rocks? I guess I've been a rock hound all my life, or at least most of it," Tilley, 73, said.
She loves their beauty, their geologic history and the idea of getting outdoors to explore for them. "There's just such a sense of peace about it," she said.
Rock collecting in the Badlands National Park is illegal today, but there's still plenty of public land in western South Dakota where it is not, Tilley said. She still explores many of the areas that Stakemeir likely did back in the 1920s and '30s, such as the Buffalo National Grasslands and places with names like Railroad Buttes and Indian Creek.
"There are acres and acres of rocks in places where you can still find prairie agates, Fairburn agates and... beautiful little geodes with loose crystals inside called chalcedony that were formed from volcanic ash," she said.
Tilley is particularly fond of chalcedony, which are little geodes found in grasslands east of Scenic.
"They just weather out by the thousands and they're really rather ordinary looking unless you realize what they are," she said.
The rocks produce a tinkling bell-like rattle, thanks to the loose crystals inside that earned them the nickname Indian Rattle. Native Americans used the rocks to make percussion instruments for ceremonial purposes and, wrapped in hide, as baby toys.
"I've given away thousands of them," she said. "There's never any two alike."

Interpolymer complexes of poly(sulfonic acid)s and poly(ethylene oxide): an unexpected association†
The formation of novel interpolymer complexes (IPCs) between poly(sulfonic acid)s and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is reported. The complexes were precipitated from polymer mixtures in aqueous solution and deposited on surfaces as layer-by-layer films. Based on evidence from infrared spectroscopy, the interpolymer association in poly(sulfonic acid)/PEO IPCs is ascribed to hydrogen bonding between the sulfonic acid and the ether in PEO. This interaction is not anticipated because sulfonic acids are fully dissociated in aqueous solutions due to their strong acidity. Theoretical calculations suggest that the unexpected association of PEO and poly(sulfonic acid)s results from the formation of very strong sulfonic-acid/ether hydrogen bonds, which increase the apparent pKas of the poly(sulfonic acid)s and, therefore, decrease the net charge of these polymers. It is shown that while poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PSSA) and Nafion form IPCs with PEO, poly(vinyl sulfonic acid) (PVSA) does not. This result is explained in terms of the hydrodrophobic nature of PSSA and Nafion, which stabilizes their IPCs, and the fact that hydrogen bonds in PSSA/PEO IPCs are predicted to be stronger than in PVSA/PEO IPCs.

the Document
Open the Document.swift file. Change the read function to the following:
override func read(from data: Data, ofType typeName: String) throws {
 if let fileContents = String(data: data,encoding:.utf8) {
 markdown = fileContents
The code takes the Data object from the saved document and converts it to a Swift string. If there is saved text, set the document's contents to the saved text.
Fill the Text View When Opening a Document
The last step is to fill the text view with the document's contents when you open a document. Override the viewDidAppear function in the text view controller and set the text view's contents to the document's contents.
override func viewDidAppear() {
 if let document = getDocument() {
 textView.string = document.markdown
 updateLivePreview(text: textView.string)
While you're setting the text view contents you should also update the web view so it shows the HTML preview. That's why there's a call to updateLivePreview. If you didn't have the call, the preview would be blank until you typed in the text view.
Now when you run the project you should have a basic Markdown editor. You can create documents, preview the HTML contents, save documents, and open documents.

Slate's ever-helpful Explainer feature provides details about how long an embryo can remain frozen. (As you may have heard this week, a woman just gave birth to a baby who had earlier been a frozen embryo threatened by Hurricane Katrina.)
Turns out an embryo can be on ice for "for decades, if you store them the right way":
Embryos can remain on ice pretty much indefinitely; one baby was born after being frozen for 13 years.
To get that kind of shelf-life, an embryo must be carefully sealed inside a tank filled with liquid nitrogen and monitored to keep it at least 31 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
But there's big trouble if the power goes out and the generator fails to function:
Once the embryo is thawed to room temperature, it needs to be placed in an incubator to keep it at 98.6 degrees so it can live until implantation. It can last a day or more in this state.

Returns the minimum value of mbrName across XrangeList, with options to skip missing or zero
Parameter Description
SKIPNONE Includes in the operation all specified cells regardless of their content
SKIPMISSING Ignores all _TAG_ values
SKIPZERO Ignores all 0 values
SKIPBOTH Ignores all 0 and _TAG_ values
returns a single member or member combination
XrangeList Optional. A valid member name, a comma-delimited list of member names,
cross dimension members, or a member set function or range function (including
_USER_) that returns a list of members from the same dimension. If XrangeList is not specified, Essbase uses
the level 0 members from the dimension tagged as time.
 - _USER_ enables skipping of _TAG_ and 0
 values, in contrast with the _USER_ function,
 which always includes these values in the calculation.
 - _USER_ (SKIPNONE, mbrName, rangeList)
 is equivalent to _USER_ (mbrName, rangeList).
 - _TAG_ values are considered to be less than
 positive data values and more than negative data values. If the data being
 calculated includes only positive and _TAG_ values, _USER_
 returns _TAG_.
 - For all members, _USER_ returns the value calculated for
 the specified member and range list.
For both examples, assume a database similar to Sample Basic. The Measures
dimension includes two members: COGS (cost of goods sold) and OtherInc_Exp
(miscellaneous income and expenses). The data can include 0 and _TAG_ values.
For both members of the Measures dimension, the result is the same–the minimum
value for the OtherInc_Exp member across the specified range.
Example 1
Qtr1_Min = _USER_(SKIPBOTH, OtherInc_Exp, Jan:Mar);
This example ignores the 0 value for Mar and produces the following
 Jan Feb Mar Qtr1_Min
COGS _TAG_ _PHONE_ 350
OtherInc_Exp 500 350 0 350
Example 2
Qtr1_Min = _USER_(SKIPNONE, OtherInc_Exp, Jan:Mar);
This example does not ignore the 0 value in the calculation. This example
produces the following results:
 Jan Feb Mar Qtr1_Min
COGS _TAG_ _PHONE_ 0
OtherInc_Exp 500 350 0 0

Removal of GFS Flags
When configuring GFS retention policy settings, you can specify the retention period for each type of GFS flags. After the specified retention period exceeds, Veeam Backup & Replication removes GFS flags.
The date when Veeam Backup & Replication can remove GFS flag is calculated by the following formulas:
 - Weekly: date of GFS flag assignment + N * 7 days
 - Monthly: date of GFS flag assignment + N months + 1 day
When calculating the date of GFS flag assignment + N months, Veeam Backup & Replication increases the month ordinal number by N. If the calculated date does not exist, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the last date of the calculated month.
 - Yearly: date of GFS flag assignment + N years + 1 day
Where, N is the value specified in the Keep weekly/monthly/yearly full backups for field. For more information, see Configure Long-Term Retention
Note
Consider the following:
 - Veeam Backup & Replication removes GFS flags only during running backup job sessions. This means that if the backup job does not run on the calculated date, Veeam Backup & Replication will remove the GFS flag later during the next job session.
 - After you change GFS retention policy settings, the date of GFS flag removal is recalculated for already created restore points.
Consider the following example. At the beginning of January, you create a backup job whose GFS retention policy settings are configured to assign monthly GFS flags. You want to keep backup files with monthly flags for 1 month and set the value of the Keep monthly full backups for field to 1. Veeam Backup & Replication will perform the following steps to assign and remove the flags.
 1. Veeam Backup & Replication will assign the monthly GFS flag on 1/31/2019.
 2. To calculate the date when the monthly flag must be removed, the following formula is used: date of GFS flag assignment + 1 month. This means that the flag must be removed on 2/31/2019. However, this date does not exist since the last date of February is 2/28/2019. That is why Veeam Backup & Replication will remove the GFS flag on 3/1/2019 (which is 2/28/2019 + 1 day).

Little Beaver and the Echo
by Amy MacDonald Illustrated by Sarah Fox-Davies
Reviewed by Sarah A. (age 7)
Sarah A. is a student in Ingrid ODonoghue's 2nd Grade Class
This book is about Little Beaver and his echo. Little Beaver is lonely. He didn't have any friends which made him very sad and he began to cry. As he cries he hears someone across the pond. Is it a new friend? Little beaver sets out to look for his friend. On the way he meets others who want a friend too. At the other side of the pond there is a wise old Beaver. He tells Little Beaver about Echo. Does Little Beaver find a friend? You will have to read the book to find out.
This is a good book. It teaches you that friends can be found in unexpected places. I like Little Beaver because he told wise Beaver that he and echo didn't have any friends. Wise Beaver is smart like me. The illustrations are like water drops dripping into puddles. This book reminds me of when I went to Yosemite.
I recommend this book to anyone who has ever had to look for a friend.

Find me a motor oil
Why it is important for the correct engine oil FIAT Panda 100HP?
The correct engine oil is important for proper performance, so i and a long durability and reliability of the car.
The correct oil namely ensures smooth running of the engine. Oil creates between the mechanical parts of the layer and so prevents the parts to each other directly to spawn and opotřebovávali and protects the engine.
In addition, the oil keeps the vehicle engine FIAT Panda 100HP from dirt and oxidation. Just depends on oil. Oil is produced in different viskozitách. Viscosity is a measure of the internal friction. What is the oil heat, this is the internal friction of the higher rate. For comparison-such as honey has a higher viscosity than water. Viscosity directly depends on the ambient and indoor temperatures and must correspond to a specific engine. The viscosity of the oil to find out directly from the designation. Oils are referred to as 5W-30. The first number indicates the viscosity of a cold, which indicates the following letter(W=WINTER).The first number is lower, the oil less viscous. Lower viscosity cold helps the engines better start in cold environments, because it creates less resistance. The second number indicates the viscosity at high temperatures. This, again, must meet the requirements of your engine.
Mineral and synthetic oils are suitable for FIAT Panda 100HP?
There are mineral, partially synthetic and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oils are made from crude oil, which is industrially processed and deprived of impurities and unwanted components such as waxes. Synthetic oils are made more complex chemical process that ensures their purity. Because synthetic oil better protects the engine, particularly when starting, when parts are most stressed. They are also more resistant to heat and are better protected against oxidation. When you move from the nesyntetického to the synthetic oil is, however, in older cars must consider the condition of the engine-synthetic oil better dissolves and can lead to a blockage of the oil filter and Lube the channels and by seizing the engine. Servisovanému the car regularly, which comply with the intervals of the exchange of oil and filters, and use high quality oils, however, there is no such risk.

Both male and female Stiefelgeiss goats have horns. Their coats range from a light greyish brown to a dark reddish color. The animals are not excessively shaggy, but on the animals' hind end, long beard hairs, called "Mänteli," grow much longer and often are of a different color from the rest of the coat. Some members of the breed display long, beard-like hairs on the chin.
Until the 1920s, the goat was actively bred, but by the 1980s, it was nearly extinct. Noting this, the Swiss preservation foundation Pro Specie Rara took an interest in the breed. Now mostly managed by the Booted Goat Breeders Club of Switzerland, the ongoing conservation efforts encourage farmers to keep the goats for their agricultural usefulness, for service as mother nannies, and for meat. While still an endangered population, the recent trend in their numbers has been positive. As of 2001, there were 600 members spread among 87 breeders. They are concentrated in eastern Switzerland, with scattered breeding groups also found in the central and western regions of the country.

Is oxygen lighter than air?
Oxygen is denser than both air and nitrogen, at all temperatures and pressures, but only slightly.
Since they don't separate from each other, we generally don't worry which is lighter or heavier.
The difference in the density of nitrogen and oxygen gas comes from their molecular weight, which is small (4 g/mol)..
Why ozone is lighter than oxygen?
Because O3 forms in the upper atmosphere due to ultraviolet light and cosmic rays hitting O2 molecules. Also because once formed, O3 is thermodynamically unstable and reconfigures to O2 faster than it "falls" to lower altitudes. Originally Answered: Ozone is heavier than Oxygen, but why it stay in the higher sky?
What are the 13 gases that are lighter than air?
The FDNY's flammable- and lighter-than-air gases are; hydrogen, acetylene, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, methane, illuminating gases, carbon monoxide, and ethylene. The complete "4H MEDIC ANNA" acronym with vapor densities: Hydrogen (diatomic molecule)….
Which is the lightest gas in the world?
HydrogenHydrogen is the lightest, most abundant and explosive gas on Earth. The atomic weight of Radon is 222 atomic mass units making it the heaviest known gas. It is 220 times heavier than the lightest gas, Hydrogen.
What is lighter than air but can be lifted by the world's strongest person?
Answer. Bubble is lightier than air.
What are the disadvantages of nitrogen?
Disadvantages of Nitrogen: Nitrogen inflation is quite costly when compared to oxygen. … Maintenance of nitrogen filled tyres is also quite tricky because once you have filled nitrogen inside your tyres, it is necessary that you have to use only nitrogen whenever you are up for an air filling.More items…•
How many times co2 is heavier than air?
In reality, oxygen gas has a density of 1.429 grams/liter at the so-called standard pressure and temperature (basically room temperature and atmospheric pressure) while carbon dioxide has a density of 1.977 grams/liter. If you do the math, you will find that carbon dioxide is 1.383 times as heavy as oxygen.
What element is lighter than air?
Since air is made up of certain elements (mostly nitrogen and oxygen), any gaseous elements or molecules that are lighter than these elements—such as helium, hydrogen, or methane—will be "lighter than air".
How many times Hydrogen is lighter than air?
At standard temperature and pressure, hydro- gen exists as a gas. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases and is 14 times lighter than air.
Is anything lighter than hydrogen?
The only thing lighter than hydrogen is… a vacuum airship. That's right, you can evacuate all of the air inside your aircraft to make it even more buoyant, but the problem is that the outside atmosphere will be pushing in with 14.7 psi so you will need a very strong air-frame to resist that force.
What is easy to get but hard to get out of?
Question: I am very easy to get into,but it is hard to get out of me. What am I? Answer: Trouble.
Is carbon dioxide lighter than oxygen?
Carbon dioxide is not heavier than oxygen or water vapor, but it is denser than those gases. Even in papers where the term density is used, the downward increase of carbon dioxide concentration is qualified as normal.
Is nitrogen lighter than air or heavier?
Nitrogen gas is only slightly lighter than air and readily mixes with air at room temperature. Cold vapors are more dense and will settle. Liquid nitrogen, a cryogenic liquid, has a very low boil- ing point of –320°F.
Is methane lighter than air?
Methane is lighter than air, colourless and, despite what you might think considering animals burp it out, odourless. … Methane (CH4) molecules have four hydrogen atoms and a central carbon atom.
What is lighter than air but can never be lifted?
I'm lighter than air but a million men can't lift me. What am I? A bubble.

How to use Rood-screen in a sentence
The church is cruciform and the altar stands beneath the eastern lantern arch, a fine rood screen separating off the choir, which was devoted to monastic use, while the nave was kept for the parishioners, in consequence of a dispute between the vicar and the monastery in 1499.
Previous to the dissolution, a rood-screen bearing a gigantic rood, the object of many pilgrimages, stood to the west of the tower.
The choir extended westwards for three bays beyond the tower and terminated in a stone rood-screen.
The cruciform church of St Saviour is of the 14th and, 5th centuries, and contains a graceful rood-screen of the 16th century, an ancient stone pulpit and interesting monuments.
The church of St Gery (18th century) contains, among other works of art, a marble rood-screen of Renaissance workmanship. The Place d'Armes, a large square in the centre of the town, is bordered on the north by a handsome hotel de ville built in 1634 and rebuilt in the 19th century.Advertisement

Block Homebrew on MacOS with Intune _URL_ _URL_ Tue, 09 Jan 2024 12:32:56 +0000 _URL_ Read more]]>
Homebrew is a very popular tool for MacOS (and Linux) Users to install applications in the user context ignoring the local privileges and ignoring application and patch management. I am sharing my solution/workaround to address the challenges of users using Homebrew on Intune managed MacOS Devices. Shall we begin?
What is Homebrew for MacOS?
Homebrew for MacOS makes your life easier by speeding up and simplifying software installation. It's great for accessing a wide range of software packages through its main repository. Plus, with the 'cask' extension, you get even more software options, including binary apps. If you're good with command-line tasks, you'll find Homebrew super user-friendly.
To install software using Homebrew on MacOS, you would typically use a command in the Terminal that follows this format:
brew install [package-name]
For instance, if you wanted to install the package "wget" you would enter the following command in your Terminal:
brew install wget
Implications of Homebrew:
When software is installed using Homebrew on MacOS, it is typically installed in the user context, not the system context. This means that the software and its related files are installed in locations that are accessible and modifiable by the user, without needing system-level (root) permissions.
Specifically, Homebrew installs software into directories like /usr/local/bin for Intel-based Macs or /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon Macs.
No Root Privileges Required: Since the installations are done in user space, there's generally no need for root or administrator privileges to install or manage the software. This enhances security by minimizing the risk of unauthorized system modifications.
Letting users install software on their own could lead to a conflict with your patch management and vurlnerability reportings.
I have looked into the best way to block Homebrew but could not find a definit solution. Instead I have worked on creating multiple layered blockages that will hinder a normal user to run install or run homebrew on a MacOS.
What happens after the script runs?
I made the below screenshot to show that the installation of Homebrew is not that easy anymore:
If the user has Homebrew already installed (the script also will uninstall it), changing the permissions of the installation folder causes the following "Permission denied":
If the user manages to run the brew command it will show the alias but not execute brew:
I have also tried using a Device Restriction policy restricing Homebrew but I could not make it work. Maybe others will discover better ways to block it.
Script Overview
Lets go over what the script does by looking at every step and describe the expected behavior.
Dynamic Path Setting
The script intelligently sets the Homebrew installation path based on the CPU type. It identifies whether the processor is an Apple Silicon or Intel and sets the path to /opt/homebrew or /usr/local respectively. This ensures compatibility across different Mac models.
Directory Ownership and Permission Modification
If the Homebrew directory exists, the script changes its ownership to root and restricts access permissions, effectively limiting the ability of normal users to modify the Homebrew installation. If the directory doesn't exist, it is created with these restricted permissions.
Alias Implementation
To prevent the execution of Homebrew, the script sets an alias for the brew command. This alias triggers a message indicating that Homebrew is disabled, effectively blocking its use.
Profile Modification
The script adds the above-mentioned alias to commonly used shell profiles (.bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc). This ensures the alias is active across different shell environments.
Sudoers File Restriction
An important layer of this approach involves editing the sudoers file to restrict the use of chmod on the Homebrew directory. This step adds an additional layer of security, preventing administrative users from easily changing permissions back to a state where Homebrew could be used.
Temporary Sudoers File for Safe Editing
The script creates a temporary sudoers file to ensure that any changes made are syntax-error-free before they are applied to the actual sudoers file. This step is crucial for maintaining system stability and security.
Download the script
Intune/MacOS/Block_HomeBrew.sh at main · ugurkocde/Intune (github.com)
Deploy with Intune
You can deploy the shell script with Intune. I always recommend you to first test this script on a test device.
Go to Shell Scripts in Intune and click on "+Add" and edit the settings as well as upload the script you have downloaded before.
Here is a screenshot of my shell script settings in Intune:
After the deployment you should see results in the "Device Status":
The Output is in the Results column.
Conclusion:
I hope that this approach gave you an idea of how to block Homebrew on MacOS. I am open for every kind of Feedback and Improvements to the script. Feel free to create an Issue or PR on GitHub and you can contact me on X @ugurkocde.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any errors or omissions, or for the results obtained from the use of this information. The use of the script and information is at your own risk. It is advised to test the script in a controlled environment before deploying it in a production scenario.

Collecting Customized Inventory Data on MacOS Devices Using Intune _URL_ _URL_ Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:01:34 +0000 _URL_ Read more]]>
Having detailed insights into your managed macOS devices significantly simplifies management tasks. While Intune provides some basic inventory data, its scope is often limited and sometimes lacks critical information. This is where custom inventory scripts are very interisting.
By integrating the following shell script with your Log Analytics Workspace, you not only gain access to a broader range of data but also the ability to perform in-depth analyses using KQL queries and create comprehensive dashboards with Azure Workbooks. This level of detail and customization elevates your device management strategy, allowing for more informed decisions and efficient operations.
Custom Inventory
I have created a shell script that will get you the following data and send it to your Log Analytics Workspace:
 - Device Name


JDString "south") = Right South
 fromJson _dummy (JDString "east") = Right East
 fromJson _dummy (JDString "west") = Right West
 fromJson _dummy _ = Left "Deserialization error for 'Direction'"
In fact, RJson provides 'enumToJson' and 'enumFromJson' functions
which automate the definition of instances of this sort. The preceding
instance definitions could equivalently be written as follows:
 instance ToJson Direction where
 toJson = enumToJson firstCharToLower
 instance FromJson Direction where
 fromJson = enumFromJson firstCharToUpper
The first arguments to 'enumToJson' and 'enumFromJson' are
(String->String) functions used for converting Haskell enum
constructor names to JSON strings and vice versa. The functions
'firstCharToUpper' and 'firstCharToLower' are provided by RJson.
Default serialization/deserialization behavior is as follows:
 Haskell primitive types <--> Corresponding JSON type
 Haskell records <--> JSON objects
 Haskell tupels <--> Heterogenous JSON arrays
 Haskell algebraic types &
 newtypes <--> JSON array of arguments given to
 constructor. First constructor
 always used when deserializing.
 (Not a very useful default.)
Both ToJson and FromJson have some other methods which can be used to
customize serialization behavior (check the Haddock
documentation). For example, you can specify default field values for
JSON objects. Note that there is no default implementation of the
'toJson' or 'fromJson' methods, so if you are overriding other methods
in an instance declaration of ToJson or FromJson, you can set 'toJson'
and 'fromJson' to 'genericToJson' and 'genericFromJson' respectively
in order to get the default behavior.
The 'Union' type can be used to implement a kind of crude inheritance
for Haskell record types. The type has a single binary constructor
('Union'). Unions are serialized by serializing each of the arguments
to the constructor, then merging the resulting JSON objects into a
single object. If any of the arguments of the constructor does not
serialize to a JSON object then a runtime error will occur. To create
unions of more than two records, just use 'Union' as an infix
constructor. Type synonyms are defined for complex unions of this
kind (Union3 a b c, Union4 a b c d, etc. etc.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Record types with strict constructors will lead to runtime
errors when using 'fromJson' ('toJson' will still work fine). This is
because it seems to be necessary to temporarily create records with
dummy field values. If the fields are strict, these dummy values get
evaluated, leading to an exception being raised.
OTHER WEIRD BUG: You cannot have a field of type X and a field whose
type is a synonym of X in the same record. This leads to weird
compile-time errors if you try to serialize the record. I have no idea
why (but this is normally easy to work around).

Magnetoacoustic detection is a new method for the noninvasive, early detection of cancer. It uses specific superparamagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) that bind to tumor sites together with magnetic excitation and acoustic detection of the tumor-NPs complex. This work tests the feasibility of such method theoretically and experimentally. An extensive analytic model has been developed that shows an ability to detect small tumors, a few centimeters deep inside the tissue. A series of experiments were conducted to validate the theoretical model. The performance of specially designed solenoids was measured, and the detection of the tumor presence in phantom was demonstrated. Experimental results agree well with the theoretical calculations, providing preliminary proof of concept. We demonstrate the ability to detect a 5-mm diameter spherical tumor located 3 cm deep. Instrumentation and measurements are inexpensive and accurate. The accuracy, speed, and costs of this method show the potential for early detection of cancer. From the Clinical Editor: A sensitive and cost effective magentoacoustic tumor detection method is presented in this paper using superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The method is demonstrated in a phantom by detecting a 5-mm diameter spherical tumor located 3 cm deep.
