The Royal Government of Cambodia issued Sub-Decree No.31 on the Social Security Pension Scheme on March 4, 202. It details the registration requirement, contribution rate, and benefits for both Compulsory Pension Scheme and Voluntary Pension Scheme, which applies to all persons under Cambodian Labour Law.
Under the Compulsory Pension Scheme, all owner(s) or employer(s) of an establishment(s) /enterprise(s), who employ at least 1 employee must register their establishment(s)/enterprise(s) for the National Social Security Fund on Pension Scheme within 30 days after the effective date of the Sub-Decree, unless they are already registered under the existing Health and Occupational Accident Scheme.
For the Voluntary Pension Scheme, only a member of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) who meets 1 of the following requirements is allowed to participate:
- Losing a paid job before reaching 60 but still having the ability to pay the contribution payment.
- Being less than 60 and wishing to contribute to get higher old-age benefit than the benefit they would receive under a compulsory scheme.
- Having an income higher than the wage ceiling determined by a separate sub-decree.
Under both compulsory and voluntary schemes, the benefits include old-age benefit, disability benefit, survival benefit, and funeral allowance. Except for funeral allowance, the other pension benefits for the two schemes will be provided bi-monthly and adjusted annually based on the change in consumer price index determined by the Ministry of Planning.
The contribution rate is determined at the following rates and phases:
- Phase 1: 4% of the contributable wage during the first 5 years from the contribution starting date to be set by the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT)
- Phase 2: 8% of the contributable wage during another 5 years after Phase 1
- Phase 3: Addition of 2.75% of the contributable wage to the above rate during the next 10 years, and subsequent increase of 2.75% every ten years.
During the first 5 years, the employee and employer under the compulsory scheme each will share 50% of the contribution payment to NSSF.
For the voluntary scheme, the applicant shall bear 100% of the cost.Back to all country updates

chain reaction
A reaction in which one or more reactive reaction _USER_@ (frequently radicals) are continuously regenerated, usually through a repetitive cycle of elementary steps (the '_USER_@ step'). For example, in the chlorination of methane by a radical _USER_@, Cl· is continuously regenerated in the chain _USER_@ steps:
In _USER_@ reactions, reactive intermediates of the same types, generated in successive steps or cycles of steps, differ in _USER_@, as in:

Real-time Synchronous Slideshow Presentation Access Technology for the Blind
This research has developed a prototype software package called SPARC (Slideshow Presentation Access with Real-time Communication) that enables people with blindness or visual impairments to have synchronous access to slideshow presentation made with Microsoft Office PowerPoint, using cloud computing as a core Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The SPARC consists of three inter-related system components: a presenter add-in, a cloud service, and a user terminal application program. Once the slideshow starts, the presenter add-in automatically analyzes the current slide and convert it into accessible text format. Then, it publishes the converted text to the SPARC cloud service along with some metadata including a slide number, information on slide layout, and non-textual object properties in the current slide. The SPARC cloud service is a message-oriented middleware empowered by IoT technology and enables real-time communication between the presenter and the audience. The SPARC user terminal software is an application program that receives the slide information from the cloud service and displays it on user's assistive devices. In the lab trial where there were one computer on the presenter side and five different devices on the audience side, it was demonstrated that all the audience-side devices had successful real-time access to the current slide information synchronized with the active presentation on the presenter compute without any missing data and perceptible delays.

text: Book Description: Childhood and Child Welfare in the Progressive Era examines a central focus for reform efforts between 1870 and 1930: children. Progressive-era reformers, holding the middle-class childhood as ideal, found the lives of poor urban children especially troubling. Using the methods of the social sciences, they studied this population and sought government action to remedy what they saw as poor children's deprivations. In this volume, James Marten first introduces these issues and then presents a collection of documents and images from books, social surveys, and social work journals that describe the conditions of urban children, track the development of "a right to childhood," and explain programs to improve children's health, promote juvenile justice, and prevent child labor. A final section presents children's experiences in their own words, as they reflect on the perils and fun of their young lives. Document headnotes, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography help contemporary students understand why the Progressive era was so crucial in the development of ideas about the nature of childhood and government's responsibility for child welfare.

Understanding Aging and Scavenging features in Windows 2000 DNS
- Prerequisites for Aging/Scavenging
- Aging/Scavenging Terminology
- When Scavenging Can Start
- Example of the Aging/Scavenging Process for a Sample Record
Learn about aging and scavenging features of Windows 2000 DNS servers and introduce you to a new terminology.
Windows 2000 DNS servers support aging and scavenging features. These features are provided as a mechanism for performing cleanup and removal of stale resource records (RRs), which can accumulate in zone data over time.
With dynamic update, RRs are automatically added to zones when computers start on the network. However, in some cases, they are not automatically removed when computers leave the network. For example, if a computer registers its own host (A) RR at startup and is later improperly disconnected from the network, its host (A) RR might not be deleted. If your network has mobile users and computers, this situation can occur frequently.
If left unmanaged, the presence of stale RRs in zone data might cause some problems. The following are examples:
If a large number of stale RRs remain in server zones, they can eventually take up server disk space and cause unnecessarily long zone transfers.
DNS servers loading zones with stale RRs might use outdated information to answer client queries, potentially causing the clients to experience name resolution problems on the network.
The accumulation of stale RRs at the DNS server can degrade its performance and responsiveness.
In some cases, the presence of a stale RR in a zone could prevent a DNS domain name from being used by another computer or host device.
To solve these problems, the DNS Server service has the following features:
Time stamping, based on the current date and time set at the server computer, for any RRs added dynamically to primary-type zones. In addition, time stamps are recorded in standard primary zones where aging/scavenging is enabled.
For RRs that you add manually, a time stamp value of zero is used, indicating that they are not affected by the aging process and can remain without limitation in zone data unless you otherwise change their time stamp or delete them.
Aging of RRs in local data, based on a specified refresh time period, for any eligible zones.
Only primary type zones that are loaded by the DNS Server service are eligible to participate in this process.
Scavenging for any RRs that persist beyond the specified refresh period.
When a Windows 2000 DNS server performs a scavenging operation, it can determine that RRs have aged to the point of becoming stale and remove them from zone data. Servers can be configured to perform recurring scavenging operations automatically, or you can initiate an immediate scavenging operation at the server.
By default, the aging and scavenging mechanism is disabled at Windows 2000 DNS servers. It should be enabled only when all parameters are fully understood. Otherwise, the server could be accidentally configured to delete records that should not be deleted. If a record is accidentally deleted, not only will users fail to resolve queries for that record, but any user can create the record and take ownership of it, even on zones configured for secure dynamic update.
The server uses the contents of each RR-specific time stamp, along with other aging/scavenging properties that you can adjust or configure, to determine when it scavenges records.
Before the aging and scavenging features of Windows 2000 DNS can be used, several conditions must be met:
Scavenging and aging must be enabled both at the DNS server and on the zone.
By default, aging and scavenging of resource records is disabled.
Resource records must either be dynamically added to zones or manually modified for use in aging and scavenging operations.
Typically, only those resource records added dynamically using the DNS dynamic update protocol are subject to aging and scavenging.
You can, however, enable scavenging for other resource records added through non-dynamic means. For records added to zones in this way, either by loading a text-based zone file from another DNS server or by manually adding them to a zone, a time stamp of zero is set. This makes these records ineligible for use in aging/scavenging operations.
In order to change this default, you can administer these records individually, to reset and permit them to use a current (non-zero) time stamp value. This enables these records to become aged and scavenged.
In the case of changing a zone from standard primary to Active Directory-integrated, you might want to enable scavenging of all existing resource records in the zone. To enable aging for all existing resource records in a zone, you can use the AgeAllRecords command, which is available through the dnscmd command-line tool.

This is not an actionscript question at all. You need just an algorithm.
Simple solution: find center of the object and then use any line distance algorithm you can find to check this center point distance to all room edges.
For example this: Shortest distance between a point and a line segment

I would add to this that to be able to check your room and red rectangle you need to store it as collection of points which then you will be able to run through and compare. – Lukasz 'Severiaan' Grela Oct 4 '12 at 11:55

Cocaine sold in Ireland is most commonly cut down with a veterinary drug to treat parasitic worm infections, according to a new report on illicit drug use by Forensic Science Ireland.
Levamisole, a veterinary medication used to treat parasitic worm infections, is thought to be added during cocaine production to increase its effects.
Cocaine seized in Ireland last year was commonly adulterated with levamisole, benzocaine, lignocaine, caffeine, and phenacetin.
Benzocaine and lignocaine, which is also known as lidocaine, are local anaesthetics commonly used by dentists.
Phenacetin is a painkiller which has been banned in a number of countries as overuse has been linked to certain cancers.
Meanwhile, the average purity of amphetamine seizures analysed in 2015 was 9.2%.
Street level cocaine had an average purity of 28% in Dublin and 19% outside Dublin, while street level heroin was 33% in Dublin and 35% outside Dublin.
The purity of bulk cocaine and bulk heroin seizures was 40%.
Across Europe, amphetamine seizures last year were generally 9-19% pure, with cocaine typically found to have purity levels of 33-50% and heroin generally 13-23%.
Forensic Science Ireland analyses illicit drugs seized by An Garda Síochána and the Customs Service and issues Certificates of Analysis for court purposes.
Common adulterants found in heroin were caffeine and paracetamol. The most common adulterant found in amphetamine is caffeine.
FSI's Director of Chemical Services this afternoon said people really do not know what they are getting when they buy drugs on the street.
Speaking on RTÉ's News At One, Dr Tom Hannigan said many of the drugs sold may not even contain the substance people think they are buying.
"Basically when somebody buys something on the street, they really do not know what they're getting. They may not even be getting the drug that they think they're getting, so that's the danger we're warning against."

Pi-Web Join in a Web Warehouse
This document has been relocated to _URL_
There were 1 downloads as of 27 Jun 2016.
With the enormous amount of data stored in the World Wide Web, it is increasingly important to design and develop powerful web warehousing tools. The key objective of our web warehousing project, called WHOWEDA (Warehouse of Web Data), is to design and implement a web warehouse that materializes and manages useful information from the web. We introduce the concept of Π-web join in the context of WHOWEDA. Pi-web join operator is a web information manipulation operator to combine relevant web information residing in two web tables. Informally, it is the combination of web join and web project operators which filter out irrelevant information from a joined web table. We show how to construct the Π-joined web table and its schema. We also highlight the benefits of the Pi-web join operator.

The name of our artwork in Chinese is 和平紀念碑. In English, it means the commemoration of the monument of peace. It is situated in Kaohsiung County and is made of imported Italian black marble. The artist, Guowei Tu, created it in 1993. The monument was built to commemorate the 228 event.
After World War II, because of the corrupt local KMT leadership, people couldn't live a liberated life as they wished. It all started when the Taipei police tried to arrest an offender for selling smuggled cigarettes, which caused bloody conflict involving other vendors. The long buried unsatisfied feelings of the people finally erupted. The conflict then spread, involving the whole of Taiwan. Many innocent people became victims of this tragedy. Whenever people see this monument, they will always be reminded of this tragic event and the importance of peace among the people.

when (number) {
 0 -> println("Zero")
 else -> println("Non-zero")
In this example, the code will print the following:
The purpose of this when expression is to determine whether or not a number is zero. It will get more complex — I promise!
To handle a specific case, you add the value followed by -> which indicates the code that will execute if the condition is met. Then, you use else to signify what should happen for all other values. Unlike other languages such as Java, there is no need to include a break statement in each branch, as the when expression will only use the first matching branch and then return.
Here's another example:
when (number) {
 10 -> println("It's ten!")
This time you check for 10, in which case, you print a message. Nothing should happen for other values.
Of course, when expressions also work with data types other than integers. Here's an example using a string:
val string = "Dog"
when (string) {
 "Cat", "Dog" -> println("Animal is a house pet.")
 else -> println("Animal is not a house pet.")
This will print the following:
Animal is a house pet.
In this example, you provide two values for the first argument, meaning that if the value is equal to either "Cat" or "Dog", then the statement will execute that branch of the expression.
Returning values
You can also give your when expressions more than one branch. And, due to the fact that when is an expression, you can use it to return a value, just like you can with if expressions. You can also ignore the value if you want to just use when as a statement. A when expression will return the value from the first branch with a matching argument.
If you want to determine the name of the number, you can assign the value with a when expression as follows
val numberName = when (number) {
 2 -> "two"
 4 -> "four"
 6 -> "six"
 8 -> "eight"
 10 -> "ten"
 else -> {
 println("Unknown number")
println(numberName) // > ten
In the else branch, you've used braces to include an entire block of code in the branch. The last value in the block is returned from the branch, so if number were not in (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) then numberName would have the value "Unknown".
Advanced when expressions
In the previous chapter, you saw an if expression that used multiple else clauses to convert an hour of the day to a string describing that part of the day. You could rewrite that more succinctly with a when expression, like so:
val hourOfDay = 12
val timeOfDay: String
timeOfDay = when (hourOfDay) {
 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -> "Early morning"
 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 -> "Morning"
 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 -> "Afternoon"
 17, 18, 19 -> "Evening"
 20, 21, 22, 23 -> "Late evening"
 else -> "INVALID HOUR!"
This code will print the following:
Remember ranges? Well, you can use ranges to simplify this when expression. You can rewrite the above code using ranges:
timeOfDay = when (hourOfDay) {
 in 0..5 -> "Early morning"
 in 6..11 -> "Morning"
 in 12..16 -> "Afternoon"
 in 17..19 -> "Evening"
 in 20..23 -> "Late evening"
 else -> "INVALID HOUR!"
This is more succinct than writing out each value individually for all branches.
When there are multiple branches, the expression will execute the first one that matches. You'll probably agree that this is more succinct and more clear than using an if expression for this example.
It's slightly more precise as well, because the if expression method didn't address negative numbers, which here are correctly deemed to be invalid.
It's also possible to match a branch to a condition based on a property of the value, without any argument being supplied to the when expression. As you learned in Chapter 2, you can use the modulo operator to determine if an integer is even or odd.
Consider this code:
when {
 number % 2 == 0 -> println("Even")
 else -> println("Odd")
This will print the following:
The first branch of this when expression uses the == operator, meaning the argument will match only when a certain condition is true.
In this example, you've designed the argument to match if the value is even — that is, if the value modulo 2 equals 0.
Another example of using conditions in when expressions to great effect is as follows:
when {
 x == 0 && y == 0 && z == 0 -> println("Origin")
 y == 0 && z == 0 -> println("On the x-axis at x = $x")
 x == 0 && z == 0 -> println("On the y-axis at y = $y")
 x == 0 && y == 0 -> println("On the z-axis at z = $z")
 else -> println("Somewhere in space at x = $x, y = $y, z = $z")
Here's what each branch does, in order:
 1. Matches precisely the case where the value is (0, 0, 0). This is the origin of 3D space.
 2. Matches y=0, z=0 and any value of x. This means the coordinate is on the x-axis.
 3. Matches x=0, z=0 and any value of y. This means the coordinate is on the y-axis.
 4. Matches x=0, y=0 and any value of z. This means the coordinate is on the z-axis.
 5. Matches the remainder of coordinates.
The final branch with the else clause is the default; it matches anything, because there are no constraints on any part of the coordinates. Here's an example of a more complex case:
when {
 x == y -> println("Along the y = x line.")
 y == x * x -> println("Along the y = x^2 line.")
Here, you match the "y equals x" and "y equals x squared" lines. Since there is no argument to the when expression, you do not need an else branch, and the when expression will not execute a branch if there is no matching condition. And those are the basics of when expressions!
 1. Write a when expression that takes an age as an integer and prints out the life stage related to that age. You can make up the life stages, or use my categorization as follows: 0-2 years, Infant; 3-12 years, Child; 13-19 years, Teenager; 20-39, Adult; 40-60, Middle aged; 61+, Elderly.
 2. Write a when expression that destructures a Pair containing a string and an integer. The string is a name, and the integer is an age. Use the same cases that you used in the previous exercise to print out the name followed by the life stage. For example, for myself it would print out "Joe is an adult.".
 1. In the following for loop, what will be the value of sum, and how many iterations will happen?
var sum = 0
for(i in 0..5) {
 sum += i
 1. In the while loop below, how many instances of "a" will there be in aLotOfAs? Hint: aLotOfAs.count tells you how many characters are in the string aLotOfAs.
var aLotOfAs = ""
while (aLotOfAs.length < 10) {
 aLotOfAs += "a"
 1. Consider the following when expression:
when {
 x == y && y == z -> println("x = y = z")
 z == 0 -> println("On the x/y plane")
 y == 0 -> println("On the x/z plane")
 x == 0 -> println("On the y/z plane")
 else -> println("Nothing special")
What will this code print when coordinates is each of the following?
val (x, y, z) = Triple(1, 5, 0)
val (x, y, z) = Triple(2, 2, 2)
val (x, y, z) = Triple(3, 0, 1)
val (x, y, z) = Triple(3, 2, 5)
val (x, y, z) = Triple(0, 2, 4)
 1. A closed range can never be empty. Why?
 2. Print a countdown from 10 to 0. (Note: Do not use the downTo method)
 3. Print 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0.
Key points
 - You can use ranges to create a sequence of numbers, incrementing to move from one value

TO CALL A HORSE A DEER is an experimental video game about language, hand-eye coordination, truth-bending and acts of complicity.
The title of the work is an inversion of "to call a deer a horse", a Chinese idiom that is used to describe the deliberate act of confusing truth with untruth. The idiom originates from a story in the Chinese classical text Shiji (The Records of Grand Historians) in which an ambitious Qin politician tried to identify adversaries and silence dissent by colluding others to confuse a deer with a horse.
This ancient tale resonates with our times in which truth-bending became an everyday political reality and tools of governance. The game, available in multiple languages, is both a mirror and a critique, a training simulator of truth-bending and its resistance.
Game rules
The player competes by answering rounds of "true or false" questions, following the instructions as given in the game.
 - The player will score 1 point by giving the CORRECT answer if he or she is instructed to LIE.
 - The player will score 1 point by giving the INCORRECT answer if he or she is instructed to TELL THE TRUTH.
 - An answer that does not conform to the given instruction will result in a deduction of 1 point.
 - The player can choose not to answer the question. In that case, no point will be added or deducted.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. – Archaeologists are continuing to search for human remains at a Deerfield Beach construction site that was once a historic black cemetery.
In a news release, Boca Raton developer Rob Kassab said he cooperated with the state's request to pause the archaeological study at his Village Park development site after several human skull fragments, gold-capped teeth and a coffin handle, among other artifacts, were found on a portion of the land.
"This was an African-American cemetery that dated from about 1898 to 1940," archaeologist Bob Carr said. "A large part of the population of the deceased here were actually black bohemians that had come over for work."
Deerfield Beach commissioners in April approved construction to begin on 69 townhomes, but Kassab voluntarily conducted the archaeological study on his site because of concerns throughout the community regarding the current locations of those who were buried at the site.
"We are pleased to resume our testing so that we and the entire community can hopefully, once and for all, learn exactly what is actually here on this site so we can then take the appropriate next steps," Kassab said. "We also continue to cooperate with the state of Florida's archaeologist to provide them with information they need. We have been open and transparent throughout this entire process and will continue to be going forward."
During the archaeological study, which began in late May, 184 anomalies were found.
"We actually did uncover evidence of at least one grave on this property," Carr said. "We had already dug 62 holes without finding anything, but on the 63rd hole we did find something."
If any more human remains or artifacts are found, Kassab said the state will be notified and further excavations will cease.

Remote Caching
A remote cache is used by a team of developers and/or a continuous integration (CI) system to share build outputs. If your build is reproducible, the outputs from one machine can be safely reused on another machine, which can make builds significantly faster.
Remote caching overview
Bazel breaks a build into discrete steps, which are called actions. Each action has inputs, output names, a command line, and environment variables. Required inputs and expected outputs are declared explicitly for each action.
You can set up a server to be a remote cache for build outputs, which are these action outputs. These outputs consist of a list of output file names and the hashes of their contents. With a remote cache, you can reuse build outputs from another user's build rather than building each new output locally.
To use remote caching:
 - Set up a server as the cache's backend
 - Configure the Bazel build to use the remote cache
 - Use Bazel version 0.10.0 or later
The remote cache stores two types of data:
 - The action cache, which is a map of action hashes to action result metadata.
 - A content-addressable store (CAS) of output files.
How a build uses remote caching
Once a server is set up as the remote cache, you use the cache in multiple ways:
 - Read and write to the remote cache
 - Read and/or write to the remote cache except for specific targets
 - Only read from the remote cache
 - Not use the remote cache at all
When you run a Bazel build that can read and write to the remote cache, the build follows these steps:
 1. Bazel creates the graph of targets that need to be built, and then creates a list of required actions. Each of these actions has declared inputs and output filenames.
 2. Bazel checks your local machine for existing build outputs and reuses any that it finds.
 3. Bazel checks the cache for existing build outputs. If the output is found, Bazel retrieves the output. This is a cache hit.
 4. For required actions where the outputs were not found, Bazel executes the actions locally and creates the required build outputs.
 5. New build outputs are uploaded to the remote cache.
Setting up a server as the cache's backend
You need to set up a server to act as the cache's backend. A HTTP/1.1 server can treat Bazel's data as opaque bytes and so many existing servers can be used as a remote caching backend. Bazel's HTTP Caching Protocol is what supports remote caching.
You are responsible for choosing, setting up, and maintaining the backend server that will store the cached outputs. When choosing a server, consider:
 - Networking speed. For example, if your team is in the same office, you may want to run your own local server.
 - Security. The remote cache will have your binaries and so needs to be secure.
 - Ease of management. For example, Google Cloud Storage is a fully managed service.
There are many backends that can be used for a remote cache. Some options include:
nginx is an open source web server. With its WebDAV module, it can be used as a remote cache for Bazel. On Debian and Ubuntu you can install the nginx-extras package. On macOS nginx is available via Homebrew:
$ brew tap denji/nginx
$ brew install nginx-full --with-webdav
Below is an example configuration for nginx. Note that you will need to change /path/to/cache/dir to a valid directory where nginx has permission to write and read. You may need to change client_max_body_size option to a larger value if you have larger output files. The server will require other configuration such as authentication.
Example configuration for server section in nginx.conf:
location /cache/ {
 # The path to the directory where nginx should store the cache contents.
 root /path/to/cache/dir;
 # Allow PUT
 dav_methods PUT;
 # Allow nginx to create the /ac and /cas subdirectories.
 create_full_put_path on;
 # The maximum size of a single file.
 client_max_body_size 1G;
 allow all;
Bazel Remote Cache
Bazel Remote Cache is an open source remote build cache that you can use on your infrastructure. It is experimental and unsupported.
This cache stores contents on disk and also provides garbage collection to enforce an upper storage limit and clean unused artifacts. The cache is available as a docker image and its code is available on GitHub.
Please refer to the GitHub page for instructions on how to use it.
Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud Storage is a fully managed object store which provides an HTTP API that is compatible with Bazel's remote caching protocol. It requires that you have a Google Cloud account with billing enabled.
To use Cloud Storage as the cache:
 1. Create a storage bucket. Ensure that you select a bucket location that's closest to you, as network bandwidth is important for the remote cache.
 2. Create a service account for Bazel to authenticate to Cloud Storage. See Creating a service account.
 3. Generate a secret JSON key and then pass it to Bazel for authentication. Store the key securely, as anyone with the key can read and write arbitrary data to/from your GCS bucket.
 4. Connect to Cloud Storage by adding the following flags to your Bazel command:
 - Pass the following URL to Bazel by using the flag: --remote_http_cache= where bucket-name is the name of your storage bucket.
 - Pass the authentication key using the flag: --google_credentials=/path/to/your/secret-key.json, or --google_default_credentials to use Application Default Credentials.
 5. You can configure Cloud Storage to automatically delete old files. To do so, see Managing Object Lifecycles.
Other servers
You can set up any HTTP/1.1 server that supports PUT and GET as the cache's backend. Users have reported success with caching backends such as Hazelcast, Apache httpd, and AWS S3.
As of version 0.11.0 support for HTTP Basic Authentication was added to Bazel. You can pass a username and password to Bazel via the remote cache URL. The syntax is Please note that HTTP Basic Authentication transmits username and password in plaintext over the network and it's thus critical to always use it with HTTPS.
HTTP Caching Protocol
Bazel supports remote caching via HTTP/1.1. The protocol is conceptually simple: Binary data (BLOB) is uploaded via PUT requests and downloaded via GET requests. Action result metadata is stored under the path /ac/ and output files are stored under the path /cas/.
For example, consider a remote cache running under http://localhost:8080/cache. A Bazel request to download action result metadata for an action with the SHA256 hash 01ba4719... will look as follows:
GET /cache/ac/01ba4719c80b6fe911b091a7c05124b64eeece964e09c058ef8f9805daca546b HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Accept: */*
Connection: Keep-Alive
A Bazel request to upload an output file with the SHA256 hash 15e2b0d3... to the CAS will look as follows:
PUT /cache/cas/15e2b0d3c33891ebb0f1ef609ec419420c20e320ce94c65fbc8c3312448eb225 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 9
Connection: Keep-Alive
Run Bazel using the remote cache
Once a server is set up as the remote cache, to use the remote cache you need to add flags to your Bazel command. See list of configurations and their flags below.
You may also need configure authentication, which is specific to your chosen server.
You may want to add these flags in a.bazelrc file so that you don't need to specify them every time you run Bazel. Depending on your project and team dynamics, you can add flags to a.bazelrc file that is:
 - On your local machine
 - In your project's workspace, shared with the team
 - On the CI system
Read from and write to the remote cache
Take care in who has the ability to write to the remote cache. You may want only your CI system to be able to write to the remote cache.
Use the following flags to:
 - read from and write to the remote cache
 - disable sandboxing
build --remote_cache=
build --spawn_strategy=local
Using the remote cache with sandboxing enabled is the default. Use the following flags to read and write from the remote cache with sandboxing enabled:
build --remote_cache=
Read only from the remote cache
Use the following flags to: read from the remote cache with sandboxing disabled.
build --remote_cache=
build --remote_upload_local_results=false
build --spawn_strategy=local
Using the remote cache with sandboxing enabled is experimental. Use the following flags to read from the remote cache with sandboxing enabled:
build --remote_cache=
build --remote_upload_local_results=false
Exclude specific targets from using the remote cache
To exclude specific targets from using the remote cache, tag the target with no-cache. For example:
 name = "target",
 tags = ["no-cache"],
Delete content from the remote cache
Deleting content from the remote cache is part of managing your server. How you delete content from the remote cache depends on

In the scenery
Examples of tenter-banks are shown throughout this website. Good examples of banks on level ground are those supporting the tenters of Roads Mill near Wardle, Rochdale (below). Note how the slightly elevated bank is devoid of rushes, being dryer than the surrounding land. Some of the post-holes for the tenter supports are still present atop the banks. The remains of the mill are now under Watergrove Reservoir but the elevated tenter-fields survive on a plateau above.
Left - A tenter-bank near Roads Mill (fullers), Wardle. On the right is the 1850s 6-inch OS map showing the mill and associated tenter-fields. The red 'T' shows the approximate location of the photo, looking west.
There is a rationale for having tenter-banks on notable hill slopes: to provide level platforms around contours. What is the point of elevating the tenters a little distance in a level field? Rather like the use of props to elevate household washing into the breeze, even slight elevations can have benefits in increased wind-speed, particularly over rough ground like moorland. Very close to the uneven, vegetation-laden surface, the wind speed is very low. Another explanation could be the erosion in wet soft ground near upland mills from the foot-fall of tuckers in mounting and dismounting the cloth fom the tenters over many years. The bank would be the original ground level, above the eroded wet paths eithe side of the racks that would promote rushes in later years.
Reminders of the ubiquitous tenters in woollen cloth-making areas are the field-names of enclosures and other landscape features of tenter use. Amongst these are close, croft, garth, room, hey, hill, balk, field etc. (Ref. 1). Tenter Hill is relatively common place name, marked on Ordnance Survey maps to the present day (unlike field-names). There are a number of streets that include 'tenter' in their name. Nineteenth century tithe maps and apportionments do however, note field-names.
Tenter Hill in Slaidburn. Accounts from 1422-3 mention a fulling mill in the village, and a corn mill (possibly housed in one building with two functions). The mill was probably on Croasdale Brook, in the valley below the hill (right of image, within trees). Some locals say they have identified tenter-banks on the hill. I haven't.
A review of the tenter associated field-names in the Leeds Metropolitan District was undertaken. The 'Tracks in Time' website was employed to view tithe maps and apportionments (a facility now removed by the West Yorkshire Archive and replaced with the 'West Yorkshire Archive Service Tithe Maps' website, Ref. 2). The maps and apportionments were dated 1839-50 from 10 parishes in Leeds. There were 11 -garths, 40 -crofts, 42 -closes, and nine -hills. Of the 98 tenter names (some had multiple names e.g. Tenter Hill Close), 65 were now built over, 20 were still open pasture, nine partially built over, and three miscellaneous e.g. a golf course.
Left - 'Tenter Heys' field in Grindleton 1807 (formerly West Riding of Yorkshire) (Ref. 2b). Historically, there may have been a fulling mill on Grindleton Brook, near the quarried hollow and the footbridge (top left). 'Hey' as a field-name in this context denotes an enclosure. Right - View of the tenter-field with a probable tenter-bank, south facing (marked).
A few examples are shown here of historical vistas that included tenters. Samuel Buck (_PHONE_), and his brother Nathaniel, were renowned for engravings of historical buildings such as castles, monasteries and townscapes. They were Yorkshiremen. His engraving of Leeds in 1745 shows many seams of tenters at the Aire riverside, and also adjacent to housing and workshops.
Tenters in Samuel Buck's 'South East Prospect of Leeds', 1745.
In Leeds, antiquarian Ralph Thoresby's major work on the history of Leeds (Ducatus Leodiensis, 1715) includes a vista, 'The Prospect of Leeds from the Knostrop Road' by Francis Place. Many tenters (and some fences) are shown near St. John's church, founded by wool merchant John Harrison in the 1630s.

Stroudwater in Gloucestershire was a notable centre for the production of cloth. Dyeing was its speciality as the wonderful colours on the tenters above the village testify.

Exeter was a prominent cloth-making city and Donn's map marks many tenter-hays.

The industrial revolution had its initial impact on the countryside, taking advantage of the fast-flowing streams to drive water-wheels. This transformation divided commentators and travellers. Not all welcomed it. In 1838 on his travels to identify the remains of rural life, William Howitt bemoaned the tall chimneys of 'vast and innumerable factories' that had transformed the life of rural children from a simple idyll in nature to the 'capture and confinement of these little English savages in the night and day noise labour and foul atmosphere of the cotton purgatories' (Ref. 2a). To others, the labour in the countryside brought benefits - employment and pleasing vistas of new trade - in the juxtaposition of manufacture and countryside.
In the 1720s, Daniel Defoe published an account of his tours in Great Britain. On his journey over Blackstone Edge from Rochdale (Lancashire) to Halifax he noted features of the domestic woollen industry approaching Sowerby along the Ryburn valley and in the environs of Halifax (Ref. 3):
The sides of the hills, which were very steep every way, were spread with houses … the land being divided into small enclosures … every three or four pieces of Land had a house belonging to it … we could see that almost at every house there was a tenter, and almost on every tenter a piece of cloth … from which the sun glancing … shining (the white reflecting its rays) to us, I thought it was the most agreeable sight that I ever saw, for the hills … rising and falling so thick, and the valleys opening sometimes one way, sometimes another, so that sometimes we could see two or three miles this way, sometimes as far another … we could see through the glades almost every way round us, yet look which way we would, high to the tops, and low to the bottoms, it was all the same; innumerable houses and tenters, and a white piece upon every tenter.
The manufacture of woollen cloth in the West Riding in the early eighteenth century was undertaken largely by independent clothiers, the trade ranging in size from single families working at home to more entrepreneurial clothiers with a number of widely dispersed spinners and weavers in the countryside. The clothiers arranged the fulling and tentering of the piece, which was then sold in this 'balk' state in cloth halls and markets to merchants, who arranged the finishing. The enclosures were used to support a horse and undertake agricultural activities such as growing food, keeping pigs, hens etc.
Left - Clothiers taking their pieces to the cloth hall on their overloaded Galloways. Right - The 'coloured' cloth hall at Leeds (there was another cloth hall for white cloth). The hall opened one hour only on Tuesdays and Saturdays for the clothiers to display their wares on stalls for the merchants to peruse. From Walker G, 1814, The Costume of Yorkshire.
Defoe was not alone in his appreciation of the visual impact of tenters on valley sides. Thomas Carlyle in his account of the national character in the times of James I and Charles I wrote (Ref. 4):
Certainly the Cloth-manufacture does thrive. In Stroudwater and the Western valleys [Gloucestershire], white woollen webs … stretch openly on tenterhooks; a goodly spectacle, as you issue from the Cotswold Hills.
On a journey in 1769 between Keswick and Kendal, poet and travel writer Thomas Gray noted (Ref. 5):
I enter'd Kendal almost in the dark & could distinguish only a shadow of the Castle on the hill & tenter-grounds spread far and wide round the Town, which I mistook for houses.
A 1725 'tragi-comedy' written by 'a gentleman in Gloucestershire' extolled (Ref. 6):
At my entrance into your County, casting my Eyes from the Hills to behold your pleasant Vale, I view'd on my Right

Firefighter clothing is known to restrict movement and increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury. The aim of this study was to investigate dierences between clothing variations and firefighter mobility. Data were collected from eight firefighters using a randomized counterbalanced, repeated measures, design. Three dierent clothing variants (V1–V3) in addition to current station wear (S) were trialed. Combinations of S and V1 (SV1) and V2 (SV2) were also trialed. Outcome measures included: standing reach height; the Functional Movement Screen [FMS]; vertical jump; a visual analogue scale [VAS] for the FMS, vertical jump, step ups and crawl; and a mannequin sketch to mark
areas of discomfort. V3 was preferred over S in all tasks and performed better both objectively (FMS and vertical jump) and subjectively (VAS scores). While V1 was typically associated with poorer performance, the impacts of V1 and V2 when compared to each other and S varied depending on the tasks performed. This variation was greater when V1 or V2 were worn with S (SV1 and SV2). Areas of discomfort across all variations was the knees, followed by the thighs. Clothing that has the least impact on, or improves, mobility (especially around the lower limbs) may help reduce firefighter injury and limit subjective discomfort.

Web.TextControl provides the same interface to the TextParts such as the ServerTextControl. You can iterate through all TextParts including the MainText, TextFrames and HeaderFooter objects. These TextPart objects provide a Selection object that can be used to get and set formatted text and to interact with the content.
This example is part of the Sample Explorer project which includes all samples in one. The sources for this sample project can be found here:

Example description
A temporary ServerTextControl is used to modify the content of Web.TextControl. The Selection is loaded into a ServerTextControl, modified and loaded back to Web.TextControl.
The following screenshot shows a custom TreeView control to insert merge fields and reusable text blocks programmatically.
The following code snipped shows how to insert a new merge field. A temporary ServerTextControl is created and a new merge field is inserted using the ApplicationFieldCollection. The content is temporary saved to a byte array and loaded into the current selection of the Web.TextControl. Using this approach, any element, text block or other word processing elements can be added to the Web.TextControl.
[C#]
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 // insert a new text field into Web.TextControl
 using (TXTextControl.ServerTextControl tx = new TXTextControl.ServerTextControl())
 {
 tx.Create();
 MergeField newField = new MergeField();
 newField.Name = TextBox2.Text;
 newField.Text = "Text Field: " + TextBox2.Text; ;
 tx.ApplicationFields.Add(newField.ApplicationField);
 byte[] data;
 tx.Save(out data, TXTextControl.BinaryStreamType.InternalUnicodeFormat);
 TextControl1.Selection.Load(data, TXTextControl.Web.BinaryStreamType.InternalUnicodeFormat);
 TextBox2.Text = "";
 }
}
[Visual Basic]
Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
' insert a new text field into Web.TextControl
 Using tx As New TXTextControl.ServerTextControl()
 tx.Create()
 Dim newField As New MergeField()
 newField.Name = TextBox2.Text
 newField.Text = "Text Field: " + TextBox2.Text
 tx.ApplicationFields.Add(newField.ApplicationField)
 Dim data As Byte()
 tx.Save(data, TXTextControl.BinaryStreamType.InternalUnicodeFormat)
 TextControl1.Selection.Load(data, TXTextControl.Web.BinaryStreamType.InternalUnicodeFormat)
 TextBox2.Text = ""
 End Using
End Sub
Additionally, several events are available to interact with merge fields. This allows the insertion and manipulation of merge fields using your own interface.
[JavaScript]
<script type="text/javascript">
 // client-side Javascript events for merge fields
 TX.addEventListener('textFieldEntered', function (e) {
 fieldEntered(e.fieldName, e.fieldType);
 });
 TX.addEventListener('textFieldLeft', function (e) {
 fieldLeft();
 });
 function fieldEntered(fieldName, fieldType) {
 document.getElementById('TextBox1').value = fieldName;
 }
 function fieldLeft() {
 document.getElementById('TextBox1').value = '';
 }

European Union Meets South Korea: Bureaucratic Interests, Exporter Discrimination and the Negotiations of Trade Agreements
by Manfred Elsig and Cédric Dupont, World Trade Institute
Who in the European Union drives the process of pursuing bilateral trade negotiations? In contrast to societal explanations, this article develops a novel argument as to how the European Commission manages the process and uses its position in strategic ways to pursue its interests. Rooted in principal–agent theory, the article discusses agent preferences and theorizes the conditions under which the agent sets specific focal points and interacts strategically with principals and third parties. The argument is discussed with case study evidence drawn from the first trade agreement concluded and ratified since the EU Commission announced its new strategy in 2006: the EU–South Korea trade agreement.

Following a study, Snyder & Associates prepared a comprehensive drinking water treatment development plan for the Iowa National Guard. A study was completed to determine the best course of action to take in replacing the Guard's existing water treatment facility due to the condition of the plant. Planning included a focus on improved quality water with capacity for the future and added flexibility to meet future water quality regulations.
The study included an evaluation of existing water treatment system facilities and demands, current and anticipated regulatory requirements, and possible water treatment alternatives. Two alternatives analyzed in-depth included lime softening and an ion exchange process similar to the existing plant. Equipment sizing, functional plan view layouts and elevations, and construction costs estimates for both alternatives were completed. Operational cost estimates for each alternative were also provided to aid in determining which alternative would be more economical. Other related water system components, such as the wells, finished water ground storage reservoir, and lime sludge lagoon and force main were included in the study.
The preferred alternative called for the construction of a new lime softening plant and clearwell adjacent to the existing water treatment plant, upgrades to both existing wells, construction of lime sludge lagoons, and a 150,000-gallon ground storage reservoir.
With project funding secured, design of a 0.7 MGD water treatment facility began in 2005. The project had multiple phases including client participation, schematic design, design development, final design, and construction management. The new facilities became operational in 2006.

Study on the correlation of pH, soluble sugar and anthocyanin concentrations in different genotypes of Chinese kale
The relationship between anthocyanin concentration, pH and sugar concentration in the flower stalk of Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabra LSQUOBaileyRSQUO) was examined. F1 plants were obtained by reciprocal crossing of two Chinese kale cultivars ['HongjiaoRSQUO (amaranthine flower stalks) and LSQUOZhonghuaRSQUO (green flower stalks)], and F2 progeny were generated by self-crossing of F1 plants. Correlations between pH, soluble sugar and anthocyanin concentration in flower stalk of different genotypes were then analysed. The results showed that the pH of the epidermis in the flower stalks of LSQUOHongjiaoRSQUO, LSQUOZhonghuaRSQUO, and their respective F1 and F2 progeny were all lower than pH 7. The anthocyanin concentrations differed between different genotypes. Positive correlations were recorded between anthocyanin concentrations and pH in the epidermis of flower stalks, and between the anthocyanin concentrations and the soluble sugar concentrations in leaves and flower stalks.

Simulation of isothermal processes in uranium dioxide through molecular dynamics method using a parametrically temperature-dependent potentialAuthor(s): Yuri Sergeevich Nagornov, Andrey Valerievich Katz
The present paper justifies the application of the temperature-dependent potential to themolecular dynamicsmethod through the example of uranium dioxide. Substantiation of the temperature dependence of interatomic potential is carried out based on the Newton quantum equation.Mean force can be represented as a sum of derivative of potential at the average atomic coordinate and the summand that depends on square dispersion of the coordinate depending on the temperature of the crystal. The selection of parameters of potential was done at three temperature values: the initial temperature and temperatures of phase transitions Â 2670 and 3120K, parameters of potentials for all other temperatures were found by approximation. The paper calculated temperature dependencies for the lattice constant, enthalpy, heat capacity. Our data are good agreement with experimental data.


the required describe operation that Kafka clients require to understand the data model of a topic.
The following is an example ACL rule that provides access to read Schemas:
- host: '*'
 resource:
 type: topic
 name: '__schema_'
 patternType: prefix
 operations:
 - Read
Using OAuth
Open Authorization (OAuth) is an open standard for authorization that allows client applications secure delegated access to specified resources. OAuth works over HTTPS and uses access tokens for authorization rather than credentials.
Ensure you have enabled OAuth in your Event Streams installation.
You can configure OAuth authentication by using either fast JWT token authentication or token introspection.
Note: You cannot configure OAuth authentication with the Event Streams REST producer API or Schema registry. Both endpoints can only be configured with SCRAM-SHA-512 or Mutual TLS authentication.
You can also configure OAuth authorization.
Revoking access for an application
As each application will be using credentials provided through a KafkaUser instance, deleting the instance will revoke all access for that application. Individual ACL rules can be deleted from a KafkaUser instance to remove the associated control on a resource operation.
Footnotes
 1. Topics and groups can be configured with an asterisk (*), meaning all topics and groups, a specific prefix name, or an exact name. These will influence which resources are listed within the panels, and they also determine whether certain actions are permitted, for example, whether a user can create a topic. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
 2. Event Streams Schema ACLs are topic resource ACLs, but with a specific prefix, __schema_. Schema permissions do not target a set of named schemas through prefixed names or a single schema through an explicitly defined name. Only define ACLs for schemas with the exact settings defined in the table earlier, permitting the operation against all schemas (otherwise, parts of the UI might not work as expected). 2


Plant Diversity
Botany Basics
What are homosporous and heterosporous plants?
Certain plants are considered to be homosporous and heterosporous plants. Homo-sporous plants produce only one type of spore; heterosporous plants produce or have two types of spores (microspores and megaspores) that develop into the male gametophyte and female gametophyte respectively. (The gametophyte is the phase that produces the sexual organs of a plant; for more about gametophytes, see above.)

Twitter Aggregator (CMTA) - How The Plugin Works
How It Works
CM Twitter Aggregator displays list of tweets gathered from Twitter user timelines (for example _USER_) or hashtags (for example _TAG_).
Tweets are assigned to categories which are organized into lists (each category can have a single tweet source assigned to it).
Each category can handle tweets from one user timeline or hashtag. In a list you can have many categories therefor can display tweets from several users and hashtags.
Each category also let you filter the content of each tweet by using positive and negative keywords. This way you can display tweets which are dealing with specific topic.
- To create simple tweets list go to Admin Panel -> Twitter Aggregator and click List. Create new list.
- Then, go to Categories and create a new one. Write category title, pass the twitter source (_USER_ or _TAG_). Add category to list and click on Add New Category.
- Paste shortcode to your post/page and set list attribute with list name or category attribute with category name:
For example if list has name My Simple List shortcode should looks like (note quotation marks in shortcode):

This study deals with the design and the evaluation of technological solutions for the electrification of public transport in urban areas. A Decision Support System (DSS) developed by ENEA â within the Research program on Electric System (RSE) has been adopted in order to verify the technical feasibility of several electric architectures of single bus lines and compare the investment and management costs, as well as the external costs due to vehicle emissions and noises, of the feasible solutions with respect to the conventional alternatives (Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, and diesel). The DSS has been applied to several bus lines located in the south-west area of the city of Rome, Italy, and covering different types of service: peripheral lines, main lines connecting suburbs with the city center and secondary lines going to the main metro stations. Input data for the DSS derived both by simulation and by open database available from the public transport operator in Rome (ATAC). Results show that a suitable electric architecture can be found for each of these lines with lower or comparable total costs with respect to the traditional alternatives. Finally, a sensitivity analysis has been performed considering several scenarios in terms of discount rate of recharge stations and batteries, battery's duration, price of conventional fuels.

In this paper, a high performance lossless color image compression and decompression architecture to reduce both memory requirement and bandwidth is proposed. The proposed architecture consists of differential-differential pulse coded modulation (DDPCM) and Golomb-Rice coding. The original image frame is organized as m by &n sub-window arrays, to which DDPCM is applied to produce one seed and m× n-1 pieces of differential data. Then the differential data are encoded using the Golomb-Rice algorithm to produce losslessly compressed data. According to the experimental results on benchmark images, the proposed architecture can guarantee high enough compression rate and throughput to perform real-time lossless CODEC operations with a reasonable hardware area.

In 1978, Apple introduced a simple yet captivating game that would mark an important start in the world of computing and gaming. The '21' Game, a digital adaptation of the traditional Blackjack card game, showcased how technology could transform classic games into a new, electronic format. This article dives into the origins, gameplayand legacy of the Apple '21' Game, exploring its significance in the early days of personal computing.
Understanding the Apple '21' Game
The Apple '21' Game was designed for the Apple II, one of the first highly successful mass-produced personal computers. The game is a straightforward digital version of Blackjack, aiming to get a hand total of 21 or as close to 21 as possible without going over, using a standard deck of 52 cards. The goal is to beat the dealer's hand, adding a strategic layer to the game that has captivated players for centuries in its traditional form.
How to Play the '21' Game
Playing the '21' Game on the Apple II was a unique experience, combining the strategic aspects of Blackjack with the technological features of early personal computers. Here's a basic rundown of the gameplay:

Firstly, it demonstrated the potential of the personal computer as a platform for entertainment, beyond its business and educational applications. Secondly, the '21' Game served as an accessible introduction to computer programming for many enthusiasts. The source code, available in manuals or magazines, could be modified, encouraging a generation of young programmers to explore and learn.
The Legacy of Apple's '21' Game
While the '21' Game might seem primitive by today's gaming standards, its legacy is undeniable. It was part of a wave of early computer games that proved pivotal in popularizing personal computing. Many of today's game developers cite early experiences with games like the '21' Game as their introduction to computing and programming.
Furthermore, the '21' Game showcases the enduring appeal of card games, transcending their traditional physical format to become a staple in digital game libraries. It underscores how simple gameplay mechanics, when combined with the interactive capabilities of computers, can create an immersive and enjoyable experience.
The Apple '21' Game from 1978 is more than just a historical footnote in the annals of computing and gaming. It shows how even the simplest games can leave a lasting impact on the industry and culture. As we continue to enjoy the latest advances in gaming technology, it's worth remembering the humble beginnings that paved the way for the future.
Looking back at the '21' Game not only offers a glimpse into the early days of personal computing but also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of well-crafted gameplay. It's a testament to the fact that great games—regardless of their graphical simplicity or the era they were created in—have the power to captivate and entertain.
In the ever-evolving narrative of video games, the Apple '21' Game stands as an enduring classic, reminding us of the simplicity and joy that games can bring into our lives.

Symbolism can be seen in architecture of S.L. Temple
Lynn Arave - Nov. 27, 2008
The 40 years of labor it took to construct the Salt Lake Temple — much of it without the help of machines — have come to symbolize the extreme dedication, sacrifice, self-reliance and faith that early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Utah possessed. However, the outside (like the inside) of the iconic structure contains a wealth of symbols and representations.
"Notable among all LDS temples, the Salt Lake Temple includes significant symbolism in its architecture," the Encyclopedia of Mormonism states.
The Salt Lake Temple "stands as an isolated mass of the everlasting hills.? As nearly as any work of man may so do. It suggests duration," Elder James E. Talmage wrote in "The House of the Lord."
While it would be improper to discuss the inside of the sacred temple's symbolism, the outside of the sacred edifice has been publicly written about over the years — because anyone can view that aspect.
Here's a look at highlights of the temple's extensive outside symbolism.

Art and engineering come together in an upcoming exhibit in Colorado State University's Hatton Gallery. "Alan Rath: Art and Robotics" will be on display from March 28 to April 29, with an opening reception scheduled for noon to 1 p.m. March 28 in the Hatton Gallery, located in Colorado State's Visual Arts Building.
Rath, who earned a degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, creates diverse works that integrate science and art. His portfolio includes sculptures featuring cathode ray tube monitors that show digitized images of body movements; kinetic sculptures that involve movement; flat rectangular, black panels filled with glowing red numerals; and robotic sculptures that humanize technology. Six major Rath sculptures will be included in the Colorado State exhibition.
Rath's work has been collected and displayed in major museums and private collections both nationally and internationally, including SITE Santa Fe, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Denver Art Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
"Modern artists have always had an interest in the intersections of art and science," said Hatton Gallery Director Linny Frickman. "We live in a technological world and Rath's art can show people there's beauty in technology, ameliorating the discomfort and alienation caused when we don't understand the inner workings."
Because Rath is an engineer who uses his training to create works of art, his exhibit is a unique opportunity for the art and mechanical engineering departments to work together.
"Rath brings an interesting mix. His medium is technological and it becomes another pallet for the art," said Wade Troxell, acting associate dean of the College of Engineering and an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. "Art becomes more meaningful to engineers and technology becomes more integral to the art for enthusiasts and artists."
Students in Troxell's course on manufacturing and robotic systems have been given an assignment to describe in layman's terms the process Rath is demonstrating. The descriptions will help viewers understand the engineering principles behind works in the exhibit.
"It's kind of like using clay or paint in a composition, but instead using technology, mechanical and electrical components and the engineering design process, that become the media used by Rath to portray dynamic, kinetic, interactive art," Troxell said.
Rath also will deliver a public lecture at 6 p.m. March 28 in the Lory Student Center Theatre. Brown-bag discussions with Rath have been scheduled for noon March 29 and March 30 in the Hatton Gallery.
"We really wanted to choose an artist who is an engineer and who could speak to two audiences," Frickman said. "Rath doesn't feel that the engineering is simply a means towards the art. It is the art."
Rath's visit is part of the Department of Art's Critic and Artist Residency Series, made possible by the FUNd at Colorado State and support from the Colorado Council on Arts and the mechanical engineering department.
In conjunction with Rath's exhibit, curator John G. Hanhardt will come to campus to discuss Rath's work and others that combine technology and art. Hanhardt, senior curator of film and media arts at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will speak on "The Worlds of Nam June Paik" at 6 p.m. April 12 in the Lory Student Center Theatre. He also will participate in a brownbag discussion on Rath's work at noon April 13 in the Hatton Gallery.
Hatton Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-4 p.m. Saturdays. All exhibits and events are free and open to the public. For more details on upcoming exhibits at the Hatton Gallery, visit the Web at _URL_ or call _PHONE_.

Our Grand Domestic Revolution: (Re-)making home from Jaffna, Sri Lanka to the Greater Toronto Area
Displacement is seemingly irreconcilable with the grounding quality of domestic space; however, the practice of housework and homemaking allows forcibly displaced people to reconstruct home elsewhere. Centring the context of migration, this thesis analyzes the makings of home upon displacement as experienced by my family, who were uprooted from a Tamil village in Jaffna, Sri Lanka to the suburban Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Canada from the onset of the 26-year Sri Lankan Civil War in 1983. Using five family homes as case studies and drawing from oral history interviews and secondary social and spatial theories, the research explores how the built environment organizes oppressions in housework practices, and how my family continues to make home within the spatial constraints.
Historically, North American feminists have advocated for a radical socialization of housework in an effort to value domestic labour and extend its visibility to the public realm. This is evident in urban historian Dolores Hayden's The Grand Domestic Revolution (1981) which archives proposals by late 19th-century material feminists in America for transformed homes, neighbourhoods, and cities equipped with communal kitchens, laundries, dining halls, childcare centres, and other collectivizing strategies. Lacking in this approach to socialize housework, however, is the consideration of housework as necessary subaltern placemaking for racialized people living in a world 'made white,' or a world shaped by histories of colonialism (Ahmed 2007). This thesis, entitled 'Our Grand Domestic Revolution,' turns to a personal family history in search of more inclusive models for housework's liberation.
By spatially analyzing my family's informal housework practices, I reveal how space can foster subjectivity for newcomers. This re-frames housework not solely as a source of oppression, as perceived in the Western feminist discourse, but simultaneously as an act of resistance through the making of an affirming domestic space for racialized refugees and their children. The findings reveal how the architecture and urban design of homes in the GTA, influenced by ideals of whiteness, become tools for negotiating insecure identities upon and after displacement. The application of these findings by designers (architects, urban planners, policy makers, etc.) can point towards alternative spatial frameworks that culturally re-value housework and allow liberation to be fostered at home.

Welcome to the official website of Qingdao Huixin Tongda Technology Co.
The graphite crucible is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, high oxidation resistance and fast heat transfer; however, when it melts, impurities in the metal solution and additives form slag and adhere to the crucible wall. Since the slag contains additives, it corrodes the crucible wall. Therefore, we need to remove the slag once a day.
The method of removing slag from graphite crucible is as follows.
I. Special tools
When the slag has not solidified, we should use special tools to remove it in time. This is because the slag will be harder to remove after it has solidified. We should be careful when cleaning so as not to scratch the crucible wall.
II. Hydrochloric acid
When we encounter many layers of slag solidified on the crucible wall, it will erode the graphite nest and also affect its thermal conductivity, and even cause the graphite crucible to crack when heated and expanded, shortening the service life of the crucible.
For the above mentioned problems, we can use hydrochloric acid for cleaning. Most of them can be dissolved. If some residues containing carbon cannot be dissolved by hydrochloric acid. We can use nitric acid for cleaning. Since nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent, it can also be heated appropriately during cleaning.
Third, dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute nitric acid
If those substances that are still difficult to clean, we can boil in dilute nitric acid or dilute hydrochloric acid. But we need to pay attention to: the use of hydrochloric acid is not allowed to contain halogens, nitrates, nitric acid and other oxidizing agents. If dilute nitric acid cannot be cleaned, it can be melted and cleaned with sodium carbonate, potassium metabisulfate or borax.
The graphite crucible should be kept clean and shiny inside and out. The outside of the crucible may become dull after a long period of combustion, and over time, unclean material may enter the interior and cause the graphite nest to break fragile, so we need to remove unclean material. If the surface is still opaque or stained, we need to use a sifted fine sand without sharp edges and rub it gently with water to restore the surface luster.

How Universities can guide Canada's recovery, U of T President
The pandemic has exposed new challenges for pluralism, diversity, and opportunity and universities must play a leadership role in tackling them head-on, University of Toronto President Meric Gertler says.
In an op-ed published this month in University Affairs, President Gertler says universities have three key responsibilities related to Canada's recovery.
"The first is to ensure that our campuses remain places that accommodate, foster and enable important discussions about difficult and contentious issues," he says. The second responsibility is closely related to the first: universities "must foster diverse excellence in all its forms."
"A broad and diverse range of people, experiences, and perspectives must be able to thrive on our campuses," President Gertler says.
Lastly, he says universities must uphold "equality of access to university education for students, and equality of opportunity for diverse faculty and staff."
As we think about the role of universities, "let's focus on breaking down barriers to access, educating citizens, fostering debate, and engaging difference," President Gertler says. "In doing so, we will demonstrate to society how to do these things well, and why it matters."

Mandate: Expansion and transformation of the Nordelec building
Realisation date: 2015
Concept and challenges: The project expands and transforms one of North America's largest heritage buildings: Nordelec. The concept preserves industrial traces while keeping a contemporary spirit through the use of materials and artefacts recovered in the building that will be exposed in the common areas. The exploitation of copper as a common thread in these spaces is reminiscent of the industrial past of Northern Electric, which specialized in the production of electrical wiring. The urban lounge is distinguished by a custom copper lighting fixture and becomes the focal point of the layout. For all spaces, we favored the choice of noble and authentic materials such as marble and walnut and raw metal accompanied by some reflective and contemporary materials such as white and black lacquered to create a contrast with the century-old brick and concrete.

The load capacity of EMBs with a restricted air gap is usually small in comparison with that of traditional ball bearings. One possible way to overcome this limitation is to increase the operation field strength of EMBs; however, this approach unavoidably involves nonlinear characteristics of EMBs. This paper investigates the nonlinear behavior of two commonly used types of EMBs by using the finite element method, in which the nonlinear relation of the B-H curve, the flux leakage, and the fringing effect are taken into account. The behavior of the EMBs under different bias currents and gap lengths is investigated, as are the effects of geometric parameters on the bearing characteristics. The results of the paper provide a useful guide for designing EMBs when using their nonlinear characteristics.

The badminton court is rectangular in shape, and has different dimensions for singles and doubles.
The full doubles court has a measurement of 13.4m (44′ 0″) by 6.1m (20'0″):
The badminton net goes across the middle and is 1.52m (5′ 0″) high at the middle and 1.55m (5'1″) high at the posts.
The net is made of dark fine cord and is 76cm (2'6″) in depth.
The line that you must stand behind when you serve is called the short service line and it is 1.98m (6′ 6″) from the net.
Singles court measurement
The singles court only makes use of the shaded area:
The area not shaded above is called the 'tramlines'.
In singles the long service line is the very back line of the court, parallel to the net. In doubles this is the line 76cm (2′ 6″) nearer the net. The area between these two lines in called the back tramlines.
The line perpendicular to the net that bisects the court is called the centre line, and the outer edges of the side tramlines are called the sidelines.
Each line is part of the court, so that if the base of the shuttle touches any part of a line, it is considered as being 'in', ie having landed within the area of the court.
The lines need to be easily distinguishable, usually white or yellow in colour.
They are 4cm (1.5″) wide.
Sometimes you will find two short lines either side of the long service line for doubles. These are what the shuttle should land between when being tested from the opposing back line.

In this paper, we propose a novel trilateration-based indoor localization method utilizing active control of lighting devices. The proposed method estimates the position of a target for measurement by utilizing a trilateration method based on the distances between the target and lighting devices calculated from the illuminance value obtained by active control. The active control involves turning on lighting devices newly installed in the target area one by one. Our method has three key ideas. The first is to remove the effect of light sources other than the lighting equipment used for localization by utilizing only the difference between the illuminance values obtained before and after turning on each lighting device. The second is to remove the influence of a human shadow by utilizing three lighting devices used for localization selected from four lighting devices newly installed in the target area. The third is to accurately estimate the position of a target by introducing a distance-illuminance model that can calculate the distance between an illuminance sensor and a lighting device accurately. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted evaluation experiments. It was found that the proposed method can estimate the position of a target with approximately 1 m error on average.

Bainite self accomodating shear strains
Rated 3.93/5 based on 762 customer reviews
Sandvik resolved this issue by looking at the displacement of austenite twin boundaries by plates of bainitic ferrite using transmission electron microscopy and reported a shear strain associated with an individual plate to be 0.22 [14].Swallow and Bhadeshia [15] used atomic force microscopy to determine the shear strain to be about 0.26; theory predicts values in the range 0.22–0.28.Figs 2 and 3 show the three–dimensional (3D) representations of the areas scanned.As will be seen in the other images the total width of the transformation upheaval of each sub-unit is around 200 nm wide.

The plates have a lenticular morphology [20, 21] so if only the periphery of a deeply located plate intersects the free surface then the apparent width will be smaller.
These are conical in the three dimensions and are thought to occur due to oxidation or some other contamination of the surface. The plates, however, will in general be inclined to the surface so that the measurement represent an apparent shear component = height/width.
The samples tended to degrade with time, becoming more oxidised or contaminated, until the sub-units could no longer be seen. There is a further complication that the austenite adjacent to the bainite plate may relax by plastic deformation [15].
This, together with the fact that the orientation of the displacement vector of the shape deformation can vary relative to the free surface, could explain why different values of apparent shear are observed for the same apparent width in Fig. Neither of these observations detract from the fact that the maximum observed value of the shear will be closer to the actual shear.
The results are interesting in that the true shear estimated for the nanostructured bainite is likely to be about 0.46, which is much larger than has been observed for ordinary bainite at about 0.26 [15].

Vegetable Fat
 [ Vegetable_Fat ]
 Edible fat extracted from plants that are solid at room temperature, due to a higher level of saturation than vegetable oils. Typically vegetable fats come from tropical plants such as coconut, palm or cocoa.
 Despite the common use of the terms "coconut oil" and "palm oil", these are more correctly called "coconut fat" and "palm fat", unless they have been chemically processed to be liquid at room temperature.
