Ek mukhi Rudraksha : One face Rudraksh
Ek mukhi Rudraksha is the resemblance of Lord Shiva. It is Diamond in Rudrakshas. It makes us Kings. But, What makes it so Powerful? Is it allowed to wear on body? How to get benefits from Ek mukhi Rudraksha? Let us discuss about Ek mukhi.
What is Ekmukhi Rudraksha?
Ek mukhi (Eka mukhi / One Mukhi Rudraksha) is a Wonder of Nature. Normally Rudraksha beads will have 5 lines (Mukhi) on them. They resemble 5 compartments of Rudraksha nut. Each compartment contains a seed in it. But, Ek mukhi will have only one seed!
What is the shape of Ekmukhi?
Normal Ek mukhi is Half-moon shaped or Cashew-nut (Kaju dana) shaped. Not agreeing with me? Ha, Ha! What I told is NORMAL. Round Ek mukhi are present. But, they are very very rare. The reason is Rudraksha nut can't retain it's roundness with one compartment. Not only Ek mukhi, but many Two mukhi and Three mukhi Rudrakshas are not completely Round. They will turn some what oval vertically. Also note: As the lines (Mukhi) of Rudraksha increase, the bead gradually flattens.
Roundness increases the Power. But, Ek mukhi is always Ek mukhi.
Why One Face Rudraksha is so Powerful?
Nobody knows! But we can prove the superiority of One Face Rudraksha with a Rudraksha test. Milk will not spoil for 5 days if Ek mukhi is placed in it. The reason may be in the Astral body of this Rudraksha.
Is Eka mukhi allowed to wear on body?
This is an important question. Yes. Allowed! But, remember Ek mukhi Rudraksha is directly Lord Shiva himself (Sakshat Shiva swarupa). We have to behave as if we are in the Paradise of Shiva (Kailasa). No exceptions.
Like all Rudraksha Ek mukhi is also not allowed to wear while taking Alcohol, While participating in sex, and in Menstrual period. Keep it beside while taking bath to protect from water.
Children bellow 12 years can't bear the Power of Ek mukhi. For normal people, it is better to worship Ek mukhi Rudraksha rather than wearing it on the body.
How to get benefits from Eka mukhi Rudraksha?
This is a very big question. Ek mukhi Rudrksha passes the Power of Lord Shiva to the person wearing it. It burns all the Sins made by the person (Brahma hatya dosha haram). It protects him from accidents (Akala Mrityu haram). It gives a sudden rise in the career (Akasmat Dhana prapti dayakam). The person rules the world (Shiva Shakti pradayakam). If he wishes he will attain Mukti (Shiva Sayujya pradayakam).
Basic Mantra to use Ek mukhi is - "(Aum) NamasShivaya".
Only this much? Don't worry. I'm also interested in Ek mukhi Rudraksha like you. I will write at least 20 articles just on Ekmukhi. I will explain every detail I know. Please wait.
"This article is dedicated to Lord Shiva who is the Lord of Rudrakshas"

can i smoke wearing ekamuki
Srihari said...
???!!! Are you serious?
We can't smoke even in presence of our parents or elders. How can we do it in presence of Lord? Smoking is strictly prohibited in temples :)
Of course, there is no reference to smoking in the sacred books. Our ancients didn't thought of this addiction.

Hi Vinod, I'm really busy and at-least have to write a post to answer you. That's the reason behind not responding. OK, I now posted that. Please see and tell your opinion, whether it is sufficient or not.
Ek mukhi Mantras and Puja
Sarath said...
Hi Srihari, I'm sarath. I'm wearing a eka mukhi for a few years. I got the rudraksha from a aged sage who lives in the Himalayas when i went there. However, im not so much into sacred books. I keep up mu brahmacharyam, and other than that I do my normal life wearing my lord close to my heart. I feel awesome when i do what i feel i should do. Ultimately what i feel is that what should be done and should not be done is purely based on our perception of lord shiva, which is the karma roopam of the ultimate universal power.Have a lot more but the space and time doesnt allow that!!!

i have this exercice Let the problem $$y'=f(y) g(x), y(x_0)=y_0$$ if $f(y_0)=0$ what are the conditions on $f$ for the probleme admits a unique solution thank's
share|improve this question
Use the Picard-Lindeloef's Theorem to give a sufficient condition... – Alex Apr 19 '13 at 22:24
$f(y)$ has to be Lipschetz continuous by Picard-Lindeloef's theorem. – Mhenni Benghorbal Apr 19 '13 at 22:45
We use Picard theorem to $f(y) g(x)$ not just to $f(y).$ or not? – lili Apr 19 '13 at 22:48
_USER_: Read the theorem carefully, if $y'=G(x,y)$, then we require $G$ to be Lipschitz continuous in $y$ and continuous in $x$. – Mhenni Benghorbal Apr 19 '13 at 23:12
ok! $f(y)$ must be lipschitz. But why lipschitz continuous? if $f$ is lipschiz, so she is continuous! – lili Apr 20 '13 at 9:30
1 Answer 1
$$f(y)g(x)=h(x,y) $$
If both $h(x,y)$ and $\displaystyle\frac{\partial h}{\partial y}(x,y) $ are continuous over some rectangle $R$ then for $(x_{0},y_{0})\in R$ the solution exists and it is unique

[Use of essential oil of peppermint (Mentha piperita) in the complex treatment of patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis].
Virol J. 2009 Jan 20;6:8. PMID: _PHONE_
The paper describes the effects of peppermint (Mentha piperita) essential oil inhaled by patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis in the penitentiary system. This procedure is shown to be most effective in infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis in the phase of resorption of infiltrates and/or closure of decay cavities. The efficiency is determined by the rapid positive changes in a tuberculous process, which appear as a rapider regression of tuberculous inflammation, causing small residual changes. This procedure may be used to prevent recurrences and exacerbations of pulmonary tuberculosis.

(x) is extremely high dimensional, we simplify the problem by exploiting spatiotemporal independence relations among the variables. Assuming the Markovian property, the joint distribution can be simplified in a factorized way as
$$P({\mathbf{x}}) = P\left( {{\mathbf{s}}\left( 0 \right)} \right) \times \mathop {\prod}\limits_{k = 0}^T {P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}\left( k \right)|{\mathbf{s}}\left( k \right)} \right)} .$$
(2)
Here, the state and action at the time step \(k = 0, \cdots ,T\) are denoted as
$$\begin{array}{l}{\mathbf{s}}\left( k \right) = \left[ {{\mathbf{s}}_0\left( k \right),{\mathbf{s}}_1\left( k \right) \cdots ,{\mathbf{s}}_N\left( k \right)} \right],\\ \quad {\mathbf{u}}(k) = \left[ {{\mathbf{u}}_1\left( k \right), \cdots ,{\mathbf{u}}_N\left( k \right)} \right],\end{array}$$
(3)
where s0 denotes the state (e.g., position and speed) of the AV under test, si (i = 1,…,N) denotes the state of the i-th BV, and ui denotes the maneuver (e.g., longitudinal accelerations) of the i-th BV. Then the NDE is generated by sampling maneuvers as u (k) ~ P(u (k)|s (k)) at each time step. To simplify P(u (k)|s (k)), it is assumed that all BVs choose their maneuvers simultaneously and independently, so we can calculate it in a factorized way as
$$P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}\left( k \right)|{\mathbf{s}}\left( k \right)} \right) = \mathop {\prod}\limits_{i = 1}^N {P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_i\left( k \right)|{\mathbf{s}}\left( k \right)} \right)} .$$
(4)
The P(ui (k)|s (k)) is further simplified by assuming spatial independence, for example, the car-following maneuvers of a BV are only dependent on states of itself and its leading vehicle. Let Ni denote all vehicles that have dependencies with the i-th BV. Then the P(ui (k)|s (k)) can be approximated by \(P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_i\left( k \right)|{\mathbf{s}}_{N_i}\left( k \right)} \right)\).
Finally, the \(P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_i\left( k \right)|{\mathbf{s}}_{N_i}\left( k \right)} \right)\) is calculated by the empirical probability of the state-action pair in NDD, as shown in Fig. 2d.
Generation of NADE
This section describes our algorithm for NADE construction. The key is to obtain new behavioral distributions q(u|s) as the replacement of P(u|s) in NDE. To overcome the challenge of high dimensionality, we identify the POV at the critical moment and only adjust its behaviors.
To identify POV, we define the maneuver criticality as the multiplication of exposure frequency P(ui|s) and maneuver challenge P(Ai|s,ui) as
$$V\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_i\left| {\mathbf{s}} \right.} \right) \buildrel \Delta \over = P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_i\left| {\mathbf{s}} \right.} \right) \times P\left( {A_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}},{\mathbf{u}}_i} \right.} \right),$$
(5)
where Ai denotes the accident between the i-th BV and the AV under test. The first part on the right-hand side is the exposure frequency obtained from NDD. The second part is the maneuver challenge that indicates the accident probability given the state-action pair (s, ui). Since we treat the AV model under test as a black box, to approximate the maneuver challenge, we construct SMs of AVs by meta-models, described in more detail in the Supplementary Methods. We should note that the SMs can also be constructed based on the preliminary AV models, so it provides an elegant way to leverage the existing testing results of preliminary AV models. Let Si denote the accident between the i-th BV and the SMs. Then, the maneuver challenge can be approximated by
$$\begin{array}{l}P\left( {A_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}},{\mathbf{u}}_i} \right.} \right) = \mathop {\sum}\limits_{{\mathbf{u}}_0} {P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_0\left| {\mathbf{s}} \right.} \right)P\left( {A_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}},} \right.{\mathbf{u}}_i,{\mathbf{u}}_0} \right)} ,\\ \quad \quad \quad \quad \;\; \approx \mathop {\sum}\limits_{{\mathbf{u}}_0} {P\left( {{\mathbf{u}}_0\left| {\mathbf{s}} \right.} \right)P\left( {S_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}}_{\bar N_i},} \right.{\mathbf{u}}_i,{\mathbf{u}}_0} \right)} ,\end{array}$$
(6)
where P(u0|s) denotes the probability of the AV's maneuver u0 at the state s, and \({\mathbf{s}}_{\bar N_i}\) denotes the states of the vehicles that influence the event Si. The first term P(u0|s) can be predicted approximately by the SMs, and the second term \(P\left( {S_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}}_{\bar N_i},} \right.{\mathbf{u}}_i,{\mathbf{u}}_0} \right)\) can be evaluated by simulations of the SMs in the scenarios specified by \(\left( {{\mathbf{s}}_{\bar N_i},{\mathbf{u}}_i,{\mathbf{u}}_0} \right)\). Realizing that the evaluation of \(P\left( {S_i\left| {{\mathbf{s}}_{\bar N_i},} \right.{\mathbf{u}}_i,{\mathbf{u}}_0} \right)\) may not be completed by one-time-step simulation, to obtain the evaluation result quickly, reinforcement learning or deep reinforcement learning methods may be used. In this paper, we adopted reinforcement learning techniques for the basic scenarios such as car-following, while more general scenarios can be approximated by the combination of basic scenarios, as shown in Fig. 4.
The criticality for each BV can then be calculated as the summation of maneuver criticality over all the BV's maneuvers:
$$C_i({\mathbf{s}}) \buildrel \Delta \over = \mathop {\sum}\limits_{{\mathbf{u}}_i} {V({\mathbf{u}}_i|{\mathbf{s}})} ,$$
(7)
and the POV can be identified by
$$c \buildrel \Delta \over = {\mathrm{arg}}\,{\mathrm{max}}_iC_i\left( {\mathbf{s}} \right),$$

KeepCalling has recently made it possible for its customers to set their Caller ID when calling from the smartphone app available for Android and iOS. KeepCalling app can be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play. By implementing this new option, the company proves that it takes into account its customers' opinions, since this feature is the result of their feedback.
What this novelty brings is the fact that, when customers make calls using KeepCalling app, their phone number will appear as the source number of the call. That means their friends and family will see the customers' personal numbers on their phone screens when they receive a call. This function is called "Set My Caller ID" and can be found in the More menu section. The activation procedure is simple and can be divided into three steps:
1. The customers need to enter their mobile number in international format;
2. They will receive an SMS on the number they entered containing a verification code;
3. The customers need to enter the verification code received.
In order to be able to benefit from this feature, the customers need to use the latest version of the application.

Development of sensor for monitoring sodium and potassium ions in the greenhouse water system
17/12/2020 – 17/04/2021
Sustainable agriculture and efficient greenhouse management
Sodium ions (Na+) in water can directly injure plant roots and interfere with water and nutrient uptake and is one of the main reasons why greenhouses discharge their water as waste. Potassium ions (K+) is an essential component of plant growth and the lack of it will result in stunting plant growth. With current technology, the analysis of water quality requires samples to be taken to a laboratory periodically. Appsen with the support of Wetsus aims to develop a new technological solution to measure in-line Sodium ions (Na+) and Potassium ions (K+) in greenhouse waters to protect drops and generate savings for greenhouse owners.

Watch the 6ths online guitar lesson by Jeff McErlain from Blues Survival Guide: Rhythm Edition
Sliding 6ths always sounds good in a blues and is essential to blues survival! We can hear it on almost every blues tune and it always sounds sweet. The reason it always sounds great is that a 6th can be seen as an inverted 3rd and chords are made up of thirds. In this example I am playing the diatonic 6ths of G mixolydian (C major). We can see that some of these sound better than others this is because best sounding ones are the 6ths that contain the chord tones of the G7 chord. For example G to B is the 3rd and 7th of G7, but if we invert that interval so we get B to G we can see those two notes become a major 6th.

most common diseases in lithuania
Good health is better than the best medicine and if your health is good, you are always in good mood. But not everyone could boast a good health. Around us there are lots of viruses, they try to get in our organism and to make us ill.
So most common diseases in Lithuania are: a clod, food poisoning, indigestion, flu, cancer, leukemia, meningitis and other. Some of them like cancer, leukemia, meningitis are fatal.
So to stay healthy, people must do exercises evvery day, get enough rest, choose nutritious food, wash hands before meal, go for a walk in outdoors, food should contain of lots minerals and vitamins. If people follow these rules, they will be fit and won't be ill.
To stay fit and healthy I do exercises (try to do every day), eat nutritious food with lots of minerals and vitamins, every day go for a walk in the park, wash my hands before meal and go to see a doctor reegularly.

Using gridSpec to arrange multiple plots as Infographics using Python
[2202 views]
Matplotlib library with all its flair, has a specific function named GridSpec(). The basic purpose of this function is to set the geometry of the subplots in a figure. But this function with a bit tweak can be used to present multiple plots into a fig, and covert it into a infographic to demonstrate a story with a minimal amount of coding.
No additional library is required to install for using GridSpec(), it works very efficiently, in case we have the base matplotlib installed with python.
Code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.gridspec import GridSpec data_all_emission = pd.read_csv("annualemission.csv") # considering only last ten records for better demonstration data_all_emission = data_all_emission.tail(10) # Create a 2x2 grid of plots fig, axes = plt.subplots(3, 2, constrained_layout=True, figsize=(20,10)) gs = GridSpec(3, 3, figure=fig) # Plot 1 - Cummulative graph containing all the information - multiple bars axes[0,0].set_title("Year Wise Emission", color="b") data_all_emission.plot(ax=axes[0,0], x="year", y=["nh3", "nox", "so2", "voc", "pm10", "pm25"], kind="bar") # Plot 2 - Cummulative graph containing all the information - stacked bar axes[0,1].set_title("Year Wise Emission", color="b") ax = axes[0,1] data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="nox", kind="bar", ax=ax) data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="nh3", kind="bar", ax=ax, color="C6") data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="so2", kind="bar", ax=ax, color="C2") data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="voc", kind="bar", ax=ax, color="C3") data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="pm10", kind="bar", ax=ax, color="C4") data_all_emission.plot(x="year", y="pm25", kind="bar", ax=ax, color="C5") # Plot 3 - Cummulative graph containing all the information - multiple column with line axes[1,0].set_title("", color="b") data_all_emission['pm10'].plot(ax = axes[1,0],kind='bar', color='red') data_all_emission['pm25'].plot(ax = axes[1,0],kind='line', marker='*', color='black', ms=10) # Plot 4 - Pie chart depicting the various emissions contribution for the last year axes[1,1].set_title("", color="b") ax = axes[1,1] ax.axis('equal') data_oneyear_emission = [87.75399456, 28.73753448, 2.500908237, 33.64595918, 24.68887142, 19.91823327] ax.pie(data_oneyear_emission, labels = ["nh3", "nox", "so2", "voc", "pm10", "pm25"],autopct='%1.2f%%') # Plot 5 - Line chart depicting the various emissions contribution axes[2,0].set_title("", color="b") axes[2,0].scatter(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["pm10"], c ="pink",linewidths = 2,marker ="s",edgecolor ="green",s = 50) axes[2,0].scatter(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["pm25"], c ="yellow",linewidths = 2,marker ="^",edgecolor ="red",s = 200) # Plot 6 - Scatter chart depicting various emission axes[2,1].set_title("", color="b") axes[2,1].plot(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["nox"], label = "Nox", linestyle="-") axes[2,1].plot(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["so2"], label = "So2", linestyle="--") axes[2,1].plot(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["pm10"], label = "PM10", linestyle="-.") axes[2,1].plot(data_all_emission["year"], data_all_emission["pm25"], label = "PM25", linestyle=":") # depict illustration fig.suptitle("Emissions in UK for the last 10 years") plt.show()

|Abstract||Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the differences and similarities in values held by early adolescents in Mainland China and Taiwan. Samples of seventh graders (N = 707) were drawn from two cities in Mainland China and as many cities in Taiwan. The instruments for this study included the Rokeach Value Survey (RVS) and the Chinese Value Survey (CVS). Many significant differences were found between adolescents in Mainland China and Taiwan, and between boys and girls. Early adolescents in Mainland China tend to prefer values that are related to competence and personal effectiveness. In contrast, their counterparts in Taiwan are more people?orientated and value interpersonal relationships more. The two groups also emphasise different aspects of collectivism. The subjects in Mainland China prefer more task?orientated values which aim toward service to society and country. The subjects in Taiwan, on the other hand, focus more on family?related values. Significant differences between the sexes are also found. Girls demonstrate more concern for relationships than do boys. Similarities in value preferences are also found. Adolescents in both Mainland China and Taiwan show concern for the world, country, family, friends and virtues related to interpersonal relationships. They are also similar in showing little concern for some traditional Chinese values such as reputation and respect for tradition. Implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature|

Types of Mineral Water, Benefits of Italian
Various types of mineral water are classified based on the quantity of the mineral salts that predominate their chemical structure. There are officially 10 types defined in Italian water, each with precise mineral functions that are beneficial to our body's wellbeing:
– Bicarbonate, with levels superior to 600mg/l, have an anti-inflammatory function, are antispasmodic, and aid in digesting.
– Sulfate, with over 200mg/l, are slightly laxative and fight inflammation, and help with digestive and stomach disorders.
– Chloride, above 201mg/l, increases peristalsis and intestinal secretions.
– Calcium, with more than 150mg/l, is advantageous during pregnancy and for growth, also helping to stave off osteoporosis and hypertension.
– Magnesium, exceeding 50mg/l, is excellent against stress and constipation.
– Fluoride, +1mg/l, is useful in preventing cavities in teeth and decalcification in bones.
The list of types of mineral water is completed by ferruginous (with dual-purpose iron), and acidic (with free carbon dioxide at 250mg/l), both perfectly suited for anemia and gastropathy. Whichever you choose, know that beyond optimal quality and great taste lie factors that benefit health. These types are for living well!

Using the Audio Track Mixer, you can apply changes to audio tracks as a sequence plays back. You can instantly hear the results of any changes you make. You can control the volume, pan, and mute settings of a track or its sends. You can control all effect options for track effects, including the bypass setting.
The Audio Track Mixer records the changes as track keyframes in the audio tracks. It doesn't make changes to the source clips.
It's best to make adjustments to multitrack sequences one track at a time. Ride the controls on one track while playing a sequence. Then play it again from the beginning while riding the controls on another track. The changes you made to the first track are preserved if you set the track's automation setting to Off or Read.
Each channel of the Audio track Mixer corresponds to an audio track in the Timeline. You can use the controls in each Audio Track Mixer channel to record changes to its corresponding audio track. For example, to vary the volume level of clips in the Audio 1 track, use the Volume slider in the Audio 1 channel of the Audio Track Mixer.
In the Audio Track Mixer, choose an automation mode from the Automation Mode menu at the top of each track you want to change. To record changes, choose a mode other than Off or Read. (See Audio Track Mixer automation modes)
You can preserve the settings of a property while recording an audio mix, preventing a selected property from being edited. It protects that property across all tracks in a sequence.
In the Effects And Sends panel for a track, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) an effect or send and choose Safe During Write from the menu.
Use the Audio Track Mixer to automate track properties only, not clip properties. You can edit clip keyframes by selecting the clip and using the Effect Controls panel or Timeline panel.
Automation modes are set in the menu at the top of each track. For example, drag a track's volume fader or pan control during playback. When you replay the audio with the track's automation menu set to Read, Touch, or Latch, Premiere Pro plays back the track with the adjustments you made. As you make adjustments in channels of the Audio Track Mixer, Premiere Pro applies the changes to their respective tracks by creating track keyframes in a Timeline panel. Conversely, audio track keyframes you add or edit in a Timeline panel set values (such as fader positions) in the Audio Track Mixer.
For each audio track, the selection in the automation options menu determines the track's automation state during the mixing process:
Ignores the track's stored settings during playback. Off allows real-time use of Audio Track Mixer controls without interference from existing keyframes. However, changes to the audio track aren't recorded in Off mode.
Reads the track's keyframes and uses them to control the track during playback. If a track has no keyframes, adjusting a track option (such as volume) affects the entire track uniformly. If you adjust an option for a track that's set to Read automation, the option returns to its former value (before the current automated changes were recorded) when you stop adjusting it. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time preference.
Records adjustments you make to any automatable track settings that aren't set to Safe During Write, and creates corresponding track keyframes in a Timeline panel. Write mode writes automation as soon as playback starts without waiting for a setting to change. You can modify this behavior by choosing the Switch To Touch After Write command from the Audio Track Mixer menu. After playback stops or a playback loop cycle is completed, the Switch To Touch After Write command switches all Write mode tracks to Touch mode.
Identical to Write, except that automation doesn't start until you begin adjusting a property. The initial property settings are from the previous adjustment.
Identical to Write, except that automation doesn't start until you begin adjusting a property. When you stop adjusting a property, its option settings return to their previous state before the current automated changes were recorded. The rate of return is determined by the Automatch Time audio preference.
When you stop adjusting an effect property in Touch mode, the property returns to its initial value. This is also the case while in Read mode if a keyframe exists for the affected parameter. The Automatch Time preference specifies the time for an effect property to return to its initial value.
Automating audio changes in the Audio Track Mixer can create more keyframes than necessary in the audio track, causing a degradation in performance. To avoid creating unnecessary keyframes, thereby ensuring both quality interpretation and minimal performance degradation, set the Automation Keyframe Optimization preference. In addition to the other benefits, you can edit individual keyframes much easier if they are assembled less densely in the track.

To avoid creating unnecessary keyframes, thereby ensuring both quality interpretation and minimal performance degradation, set the Automation Keyframe Optimization preference. In addition to providing other benefits, this preference makes editing individual keyframes easier because they are less densely arranged on the keyframe graph.

Brothers is a single-player cooperative game where the player controls two brothers independently and simultaneously. The game starts in a village where the two young brothers live. Their mother drowned in the sea and their father is ailing. The two set out to find the Water of Life, which is said to hold the power to cure their father. Both brothers are controlled separately for movement and actions. The game strings together various scenes where the brothers must solve puzzles by helping each other, for instance by pulling levers, dragging items, distracting dangerous characters or operating a catapult. Not by controlling them separately, but often both at the same time. Next to movement they can also climb, hang from ledges and slide down. There are a few enemies along the way, but these cannot be fought directly. Instead, a more inventive approach needs to be found.
The game focuses on exploration and especially environment-based puzzle-solving to progress. The game is shown with a third-person view, often shown from a distance or above, and with a fixed camera. The level design is linear with a single path to progress. It also contains various sequences not related to the main quest where the brothers have fun together, to establish the atmosphere. The environment has a fantasy-like atmosphere with different locales such as villages, mountains, a sequence where they travel by boat over a river, a frozen landscape etc.

Published on Maven Central and jCenter Java Library that compares 2 images with the same sizes and shows the differences visually by drawing rectangles. Some parts of the image can be excluded from the comparison. Can be used for automation qa tests. The Usages of the image-comparison can be found here Usage Image Comparison
 - Implementation is using only standard core language and platform features, no 3rd party libraries and plagiarized code is permitted.
 - Pixels (with the same coordinates in two images) can be visually similar, but have different values of RGB. 2 pixels are considered to be "different" if they differ more than 10% from each other.
 - The output of the comparison is a copy of actual images. The differences are outlined with red rectangles as shown below.
 - No third party libraries or borrowed code are in usage.
 - Some parts of the image can be excluded from the comparison and drawn in the result image.
Configurations
Property Description
threshold The threshold which means the max distance between non-equal pixels. Could be changed according size and requirements to the image.
rectangleLineWidth Width of the line that is drawn the rectangle.
destination File of the result destination.
minimalRectangleSize The number of the minimal rectangle size. Count as (width x height). By default it's 1.
maximalRectangleCount Maximal count of the Rectangles, which would be drawn. It means that would get first x biggest rectangles. Default value is -1, that means that all the rectangles would be drawn.
pixelToleranceLevel Level of the pixel tolerance. By default it's 0.1 -> 10% difference. The value can be set from 0.0 to 0.99.
excludedAreas ExcludedAreas contains a List of Rectangles to be ignored when comparing images.
drawExcludedRectangles Flag which says draw excluded rectangles or not.

 File resultDestination = new File( "result.png" );
 //Create ImageComparison object for it.
 ImageComparison imageComparison = new ImageComparison( expectedImage, actualImage, resultDestination );
 //Can be used another constructor for it, without destination.
 new ImageComparison("expected.png", "actual.png");
 //or
 new ImageComparison(expectedImage, actualImage);
 //Also can be configured BEFORE comparing next properties:
 //Threshold - it's the max distance between non-equal pixels. By default it's 5. imageComparison.setThreshold(10);
 imageComparison.getThreshold();
 //RectangleListWidth - Width of the line that is drawn in the rectangle. By default it's 1. imageComparison.setRectangleLineWidth(5);
 imageComparison.getRectangleLineWidth();
 //Destination. Before comparing also can be added destination file for result image.
 imageComparison.setDestination(resultDestination);
 imageComparison.getDestination();
 //MaximalRectangleCount - It means that would get first x biggest rectangles for drawing.
 // by default all the rectangles would be drawn.
 imageComparison.setMaximalRectangleCount(10);
 imageComparison.getMaximalRectangleCount();
 //MinimalRectangleSize - The number of the minimal rectangle size. Count as (width x height).
 // by default it's 1. imageComparison.setMinimalRectangleSize(100);
 imageComparison.getMinimalRectangleSize();
 //Change the level of the pixel tolerance:
 imageComparison.setPixelToleranceLevel(0.2);
 imageComparison.getPixelToleranceLevel();
 //After configuring the ImageComparison object, can be executed compare() method:
 ImageComparisonResult imageComparisonResult = imageComparison.compareImages();
 //Can be found ComparisonState.
 ImageComparisonState imageComparisonState = imageComparisonResult.getImageComparisonState();
 //And Result Image
 BufferedImage resultImage = imageComparisonResult.getResult();
 //Image can be saved after comparison, using ImageComparisonUtil.
 ImageComparisonUtil.saveImage(resultDestination, resultImage);

I'm wondering if any one knows a javascript formula which calculates the max number of tiles that would appear on the user's screen at any given time based on their screen size...
For example: If we say the screen size is 1200pixels by 600pixels and the tiles are 64 pixels by 32 pixels.
In a birds eye view this is easy to calculate but isometric kinda makes it all a bit more confusing for me to understand how to implement such a calculation in my code.
Does any one have any insight how to calculate it?
share|improve this question
What are the details of the plane? E.g. the distance and angle from the screen? – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:09

Assuming you are counting only tiles that fit fully (without getting cut-off):
 var verticalCount = Math.floor(windowHeight / tileHeight);
 var horizontalCount = Math.floor(windowWidth / tileWidth);
 var totalCount = verticalCount * horizontalCount;
If you want to count also tiles that fit partially (getting cut off by the window), just change both instances of Math.floor to Math.ceil above.
share|improve this answer
This only works for birds eye view, in isometric you end up with empty spaces in all 4 corners. The maths is different because the tiles are essentially at an angle. I already tried you're approach :P – Dave Mar 9 '12 at 1:26
If this answer is not sufficient, I suggest you un-accept it. – Phil H Apr 5 '12 at 14:08

If you are wanting to fill the screen with isometric tiles, not a board, and not counting the half tiles that could be displayed, then the formula would be
var cols = Math.floor(windowWidth/tileWidth)
var rows = Math.floor(windowHeight/tileHeight)
var totalCount = (rows * cols) + ((rows-1)*cols)
this will give you the number of complete isometric tiles that can fit in that space.

LINDSAY SELBY: The Jersey Devil
The Jersey Devil, sometimes called the Leeds Devil, is a creature said to live in the Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves. The story of its exist has been around for over 260 years. There are apparently over 2,000 eyewitnesses reports and its sighting has been responsible for the closing of schools and factories at times when it was at its peak.
The origin of the creature lies in a legend concerning a Mrs Jane Leeds who came from a poor family in the Pine Barrens of Jersey. In 1735 she was pregnant with her 13th child and she said to friends and relatives that the "Devil can take the next one", and supposedly he did. When the baby was born it was said to be a deformed monster. It supposedly grew to more than 20 feet long, with a reptilian body, a horse's head, bat wings and a long, forked tail. It then escaped up the chimney (or out of a window depending on the version of the tale) and began haunting the Pine Barrens. Some said Mrs Leeds was a witch and the father of the child was the devil. Another legend says a young girl fell in love with a British soldier during the Revolutionary War and the people of Leeds Point cursed the girl. When she gave birth to a child it looked like the devil. In 1740 a priest was brought in to exorcise the devil from the area and for years it was not seen.
Alfred Heston, the local historian for the area, believes that the Jersey Devil could have been born to either the Leeds or the Shrouds families. Mr Heston discovered that a Daniel Leeds had land in Great Egg Harbour in 1699 and the family home was in Leeds Point.
Sightings of the devil started again when it was seen in the 1800s.
Joseph Bonaparte, former king of Spain and brother of the famous Napoleon Bonaparte, reported seeing the Jersey Devil in Bordentown between 1816 and 1839 when out hunting.
In the 1840s a strange creature with a piercing scream and odd hoof-like footprints was reported to be killing livestock in the area around the Pine Barrens.
On January 16th 1909 it was seen by many people:
Thack Cozzens of Woodbury reported seeing a flying creature with glowing eyes. John Mcowen heard and saw the creature on the banks of a canal. Policeman James Sackville fired on a strange creature as it flew away. E. W. Minister, Postmaster for Bristol, also reported seeing a bird-like creature with a horse head and a piercing scream. Mr and Mrs Nelson Evans of Gloucester were awakened by a strange noise and on looking out of the window, Mr Nelson watched what he claimed was the Jersey Devil for 10 minutes.
On January 19th 1909 a Burlington police officer and the Reverend John Pursell of Pemberton reported seeing the Jersey Devil. Reverend John Pursell was quoted as saying "Never saw anything like it before."
On January 20th 1909 it was seen by members of by the Black Hawk Social Club and also seen by a trolley full of people in Clementon. Mrs Sorbinski of Camden heard a commotion in her back yard. Upon inspection, she discovered the Jersey Devil with her dog in its grasp. Mrs Sorbinski beat the Jersey Devil with a broom until it dropped her dog and flew off into the night.
Then on January 21st 1909 Camden police officer Louis Strehr witnessed the Jersey Devil drinking from his horse's trough.
The next documented sighting was in 1927 when a cab driver on his way to Salem got flat tyre and whilst he was fixing it, an upright-standing creature landed on the roof of his cab. The creature shook the cab violently and the cab driver ran away. When he returned it had gone.
In August 1930 berry pickers at Leeds Point and Mays Landing reported seeing the Devil in the fields eating blueberries and cranberries. It was reported again two weeks later in the north.
In November 1951 a group of children were allegedly cornered by the Devil at the Duport Clubhouse in Gibbstown. The creature left without causing any harm.
In 1960 a group of people near Mays Landing were scared by strange cries and screams. State officials tried to calm the nervous residents but no explanation could be found for the strange sounds. Harry Hunt, who owned the Hunt Brothers Circus, offered $100,000 for the capture of the creature.
In 1961 a couple were parked up along a road in the Pine Barrens when they heard a loud screeching noise outside. Suddenly the roof of their car smashed and the screeching sound was now right on top of them. The couple fled but later said when they returned they saw an unknown creature flying along the treeline making the same screeching noise.
In 1966 the Jersey Devil was blamed for the death of 31 ducks, 3 geese, 4 cats and two dogs at a local farm. One of the dogs was a large German shepherd found with its throat ripped out.
In 1987 in Vinland, another German shepherd was found torn apart and the body apparently gnawed upon. The body was located 25 feet from where the dog was chained up. Around the body were strange tracks.
In 1993 a forest ranger named John Irwin was driving along the Mullica River in southern New Jersey. He found the road ahead of him blocked by what looked like the Jersey Devil. He described it as being about six feet tall with horns and matted black fur. Irwin stated that he and the creature stared at one another for several minutes before the monster finally turned and ran into the forest.
More recently, in 2004 on a snowy winter night the Winkelmann children were playing outside when they were scared by a creature and headed indoors. Later that night Mrs Winkelmann and her 11-year-old son headed outside to unplug Christmas lights and they noticed a two-legged winged creature in the trees above. The woman and her child ran back to the house as the creature landed on their roof. For the rest of the night the entire family stayed safely locked inside the house. The next morning when they went outside they noticed footprints on the roof and took pictures as evidence to prove the story was real.
This site: _URL_ claims to be official jersey devil hunters site includes reports of sightings up to 2003.
So myth, reality or mistaken identity? It has certainly been around a long time.
Dale Drinnon said...
The situation is (as noted in a review article published in PURSUIT) that ANYTHING unknown and seen in New Jersey is reported as "The Jersey Devil", and that includes reports that would otherwise sound like pumas, bears or Bigfoot.
I did a comparison of the reports following Ivan Sanderson's statement that he thought the reports of a sort of Thunderbird (which he may have heard but not seen while living in New Jersey, but that may have been a very large owl instead)and I found that by cutting out PARTS of the majority of reports and pasting them together, you can make a fairly good composite of a large condor-like bird. That hinges on the "PARTS" part-you will have to be throwing away other parts of nearly all the sightings to make them fit the pattern. So I concluded, "The composite does indeed sound like the type of bird Sanderson suggested: but if these Jersey Devil sightings are describing that type of bird, then the statement must be made that most of the reports are very very bad reports."
Donnie said...
If it is indeed known that an exorcism was performed around 1740, that would precede and therefore exclude the revolutionary war myth. Doesn't in any way confirm the 13th child myth. I'm just curious how long these sightings have been reported, maybe American Indian folklore....? I can see where anything out of the ordinary today could easily be attributed to the Jersey Devil with the notoriety of the creature. Very fascinating subject!

Exactly what does it Indicate When You Name Your Baby Sugar Baby?
 - Home
"Sugar Baby" is one of the many names which has been given to the brand new genre of baby titles that are turning out to be popular in nation and the British isles. So what really does it indicate? Sugar baby is short for nice baby or sugar baby. This is a baby brand that _URL_ has been taken from the baby meals industry and is not related to the infant's health by any means. "Sugar" is simply name that sounds lovely.
What does it mean when somebody names their very own baby Sugar Baby? The meaning is pretty simple; the infant is going to be a small baby and the parents will attempt to keep the sugar absorption to a minimum mainly because that can actually cause medical problems. It is funny how that actually works because it actually is in the identity but the name is what is will make or break the baby. It is rather common to have child girl and have a child boy known as the same sugar babies sugar daddies thing, but in this case it might not be and so common.
"Sugar babies" because they are known to have been chosen seeing that the _URL_ favored brand of parents diagnosed with a family history of sugar gliders. The gliders are marsupials that are mostly from Sydney. They are primarily nocturnal in nature and in addition they primarily take in insects as their diet. They are small in size at about two pounds and the females are usually about ten pounds in pounds.

text: Both safety and productivity in underground gassy coal mines can be improved substantially if an appropriate gas management system is introduced. A strong direct relationship exists between the gas emission rate, roof and floor strata relaxation zones characteristic, mining activities and gas drainage practices. Detailed knowledge of geological factors, gas and coal-rock properties, as well as mining systems are necessary for the methodology used in predicting overall underground gassiness, and planning gas capture and ventilation systems. Early gas emission calculations for various mining activities, particularly for the longwall mining system are essential. A reasonably accurate prediction of gas make as well as the design of ventilation, gas recovery (drainage holes) techniques can be made using 'Floorgas' and 'Roofgas' computer simulations, provided sufficient geological, mining, and gas data are made available.

Introducing BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services
The BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services for OpenVMS product allows users to communicate with IBM application programs using Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) over System Network Architecture (SNA) LU6.2 sessions. APPC/LU6.2 communications are connection-oriented and half-duplex. This means that before two partners can exchange messages, they must first establish a connection (connection-oriented), and that one partner is sending when the other is receiving (half-duplex).
This chapter includes the following topics:
Basic Terms and Concepts
This section provides general information about BEA MessageQ applications, APPC, the Port Server, and other application components.
The BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services Product
The BEA MessageQ system is a connectionless, stateless communications system. This means that a connection need not be established before programs can communicate with each other. It also means that communicating programs do not care what state their partner is in.
Using BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services is like using the postal mail system-you can send a letter to anyone whose address you know, whether or not the addressee is home and regardless of the addressee's desire to speak to you. Addressees can check their mailboxes at their convenience.
The BEA MessageQ system supports network-independent addressing and makes use of an application programming interface (API) common to all platforms that support the MessageQ system.
SNA LU6.2 Sessions
SNA is connection-oriented systems networking architecture. Connections are established between network-addressable units. Applications are interested in logical units (LUs) that are the "end users" of a network. The connection between LUs is an SNA session.
The LU that requests a session is called the primary logical unit or PLU. The LU that accepts the session is called the secondary logical unit or SLU. The capabilities of an LU are defined by the LU type. Only one type of LU supports APPC: LU type 6.2 (also known as LU6.2).
An LU6.2 session is the type of SNA connection used by APPC applications for communications with each other. The session is like the telephone connection received when you dial another number-if the other number does not answer, you cannot speak.
Without an SNA session, APPC conversations cannot take place. An LU is the software equivalent of a telephone-it has a specific address in the network, and other LUs have to know that address in order to establish sessions with it.
Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC)
A program that wants to communicate with other programs must first establish a connection to each potential partner, and the communicating programs must be aware of each other's state (for example, ready to receive, ready to send, and shutting down). This requirement is similar to the requirements of the telephone system: before you can talk to someone, you must call someone up; the call recipient must answer the phone, and agree to listen to you; after you have finished speaking, the other party can speak to you; and so on.
BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services for OpenVMS applications use Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) to establish connections to partners and communicate state information before initiating conversations. APPC is a connection-oriented, half-duplex, state-oriented communications system. It uses the following concepts:
BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services Application Components
Figure 1-1 shows the components of a typical BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services application.
Figure 1-1 BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Components
The components are:
SNA APPC/LU6.2 Fundamentals
The information that follows is a short summary of SNA APPC LU6.2 fundamentals. For more detailed information, refer to SNA Transaction Programmer's Reference Manual for LU Type 6.2.
Logical Unit Type 6.2 Overview
LU6.2 is a general-purpose architecture that enables IBM products to communicate with each other. The LU6.2 architecture defines a set of protocols. To communicate with each other, products must implement LU6.2 according to these protocols. There are two general implementations of LU6.2:
Transaction programs (TPs) are programs that can process a specific set of input data, trigger specific job executions, or produce specific output data. Distributed transactions within an SNA network communicate by exchanging information during a conversation, which is a temporary logical path established between two cooperating TPs. This path is treated as a shared resource between TPs.
IBM's architectural definition for LU6.2 provides a set of procedures called verbs that is used to design distributed transactions. CICS ISC implements the verb functions with EXEC CICS commands and OpenVMS TPs implement the verb functions with OpenVMS procedures.
The APPC verb set consists of function verbs that are implemented as BEA MessageQ messages. The logic of how these verbs are used (verb flow) is the same regardless of whether you are programming in an OpenVMS environment or an IBM environment. Refer to LU6.2 User Callback Services, for detailed information on User Callback Services and APPC verbs.
Inbound and Outbound Conversations
Conversation allocations may be initiated either by the OpenVMS TP (inbound) or by the IBM TP (outbound). Figure 1-2 illustrates a typical SNA conversation session. The LU6.2 type of SNA LUs can be configured as independent or dependent. The BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services for OpenVMS product uses dependent LUs.
Figure 1-2 SNA Session for Dependent LUs
Inbound allocation causes the gateway to transmit an INIT SELF to the IBM SSCP that builds a suggested BIND and passes it to the application subsystem (which may modify it). The application passes the BIND back to the gateway. If the gateway accepts the BIND, the session is established and the OpenVMS and IBM TPs are in a "session."
Outbound allocation causes the gateway to wait in the active-listening mode for the IBM TP to send a BIND followed by an ATTACH. If the gateway accepts this ATTACH, the session is established and the OpenVMS and IBM TPs are in a session. They are also in a state of conversation (also called "between brackets").
Contention for session resources occurs when both partners attempt to begin conversation simultaneously on the same session. The contention is resolved according to the polarity agreed upon when the session was established. The contention winner (first speaker) always receives the session resources, and the contention loser (bidder) always has to wait. The contention winner/loser is negotiated in the BIND.
Using the LU6.2 Port Server for Applications Connections
Exchanging information between the connectionless, stateless environment of the BEA MessageQ system and the connection-oriented, state-oriented environment of APPC (a task similar to that of connecting systems as different as the postal mail and the telephone) requires the services of an intermediary that understands both. The intermediary provided by BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services is the LU6.2 Port Server.
The LU6.2 Port Server understands how to:
In addition, the LU6.2 Port Server performs numerous "housekeeping" tasks (such as error recovery, automatic restart of communication links, and error and trace logging) that are desirable in distributed applications.
Refer to Configuring the LU6.2 Port Server, for more information on the LU6.2 Port Server.
The BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services product uses the Stream Output Facility for logging and tracing. This facility provides time stamps on both the logging and tracing output as well as dynamic tracing. See the BEA MessageQ Installation and Configuration Guide for OpenVMS for more information on dynamic tracing and the BEA MessageQ for OpenVMS Event Logger Utility.
Writing Your Own Port Server
When installed, the BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services software provides a typical LU6.2 Port Server that uses seven predefined messages to simplify setting and managing the application connections of the BEA MessageQ clients to remote partners.
However, if the standard LU6.2 Port Server programming interface does not meet the needs of an application, does not offer a function required by all client applications, or does not meet some other unusual requirements, a specialized Port Server may be developed using the LU6.2 User Callback Services.
The BEA MessageQ LU6.2 Services provide you with the option of writing your own Port Server using 21 BEA MessageQ messages that map to the APPC verb set.
Note: Refer to Configuring the LU6.2 Port Server, and Port Server Messages, for LU6.2 Port Server information. Refer to LU6.2 User Callback Services, for LU6.2 user callback information.

The Diversion Canal, constructed in 1977, borders the Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive starting just past the 2 Mile marker. It was built to ensure a reliable source of fresh water for the refuge as deepening of the Savannah River caused tidal salt water incursion from the Atlantic Ocean further upstream. The water you see in the impoundments was brought in via this canal. The upstream end of the canal provided fresh water at all tides.
The nine mile canal was part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project to mitigate incursion of brackish water into the refuge created by the construction of a a tide gate in the Savannah River as part of a harbor channel maintenance plan.
Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused a blow-out around the water control structure, making it impossible to control the water level in the canal and turning the fresh water canal into a brackish tidal creek and increasing salinity levels in some impoundments. FWS has been severely curtailed in its ability to manage the impoundments as a result. At very high tides the Drive must be closed because water from the canal tops the drive and pours into the impoundments on the other side.
We are still waiting on the US Army Corps of Engineers to repair the structure. They have already been allocated the money, but coming up on two years after the Hurricane, no work has yet begun.

HERITAGE: Extensive restoration work to Fort George will cost $2.75 million
Fort gets facelift
Niagara-on-the-Lake's most recognizable War of 1812 site is getting a major $2.75-million facelift.
Extensive restoration work of the 80-year-old replica of Fort George started about three weeks ago.
The project, the biggest in the national historic site's history, will stabilize the crumbling structure.
Six large bastions, or cannon platforms, and sections of decaying palisade, or wooden fence, are being replaced to strengthen the outer walls of the fort.
That work alone will cost taxpayers $2.5 million.
More reconstruction work -- roof and siding replacement -- will be done on buildings inside the fort walls.
Geoff Hancock said the restoration of the tourist attraction could have waited a few years, but the upcoming bicentennial events moved up the deadline.
Parks Canada was also able to benefit from the federal government's major infrastructure economic stimulus cash pool.
Until now, repairs to the fort have been done on a much smaller scale, said Hancock, Parks Canada's project leader for the War of 1812 bicentennial.
"This is a much bigger scale," Hancock said.
"This is sort of getting your 'if we can do it all in a year, year and a half, what can we do?' scenario. This is what happened."
Built in the 1930s, the fort was designed to look exactly like the military hub erected by the British in 1802 to defend the borders of Upper Canada against the Americans.
It was designed to control supplies coming through the Niagara River, which was crucial to the survival of all forts west of the region.
The giant hexagonal wooden structure was given even greater importance during the War of 1812 when it served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army.
Major General Sir Isaac Brock was stationed there and led a force of British soldiers, local militia, aboriginal warriors and a corps of free slaves.
Roger Armstrong of Rankin Construction said he recognizes the historical significance of the site to both Canada and Niagara.
The estimator/project manager said it's great to be part of such an important local project.
Three archeologists are working alongside eight to 10 construction workers to look for historically significant artifacts as they dig.
"It is unique," Armstrong said. "We may never have the
opportunity to do a job like this again."
Hancock said the bulk of the work on the Niagara Parkway site will be done by May -- in time for the start of the tourist season.


text: The aim of this article is to automatically identify repeating seismic events such as an aftershock sequence by utilizing a machine learning technique named diffusion maps. In previous work, the diffusion maps approach was applied for earthquakeexplosion discrimination and for characterizing explosions by their origin quarries. Diffusion maps, which is a nonlinear dimensionality reduction technique, constructs a lowdimensional geometric representation of the seismograms. The embedding coordinates capture the intrinsic structure of the seismic signals and analysis is done in this low-dimensional space. As a preprocessing step, the seismograms are converted to images in the time frequency domain. The approach is demonstrated on an aftershock sequence of the February 2004 Dead Sea earthquake with magnitudeM L 5.2. In the first stage, the short-term average/long-term average (STA/LTA) detector is applied and then the diffusion maps-based identification is performed. In a second example, a cross-correlation detector is applied in the first stage and the proposed algorithm serves as a validation tool for the waveform correlation detector. The obtained results were confirmed by an analyst and compared with other methods. The experimental results demonstrate the potential and strength of the diffusion-maps-based approach, as the identification process can be carried out with no need of master templates for detecting new aftershocks.

Markers and translations
I think I made this suggestion in its day, but I'll put it back in case it could be considered interesting.
It's all about the markers.
Every time a boss places a marker on a position, the text that is added is localized according to the language of its interface (as long as it is NOT EDITED).
When we are in worlds where we all speak the same language, there is no problem, but when someone has their game interface in another language, this becomes a problem because the text can come out in Russian, Polish, Spanish, English...
While it is true that each icon has a distinctive shape, sometimes the text is not understandable by whoever reads it.
My request would be:
Since we have translated all the texts of the different game markers (as long as they are not edited / customized), could a language variable be added to these markers to vary the displayed text according to the interface language?
It is clear that if the marker is edited / customized this variable would be deactivated, showing the text in the language that was written.
I am with the interface of the game in Spanish and I put a marker "Ver" whose Spanish text is "Vigila atentamente este objetivo y la zona circundante. Es posible que haya que actuar pronto." The game detects that the marker has the language variable equal to "esxxxxx" (where xxxx will be the code of the text translated into Spanish already existing)
If now another player enters whose interface is in English and accesses this marker, it will detect that the language variable is equal to "esxxxxx", so it will look for that code xxxxx in its interface language "en" and will display it on the screen. The result would be that the marker would appear as "Watch Closely" and in the English description it would be "Watch this target and its surrounding area closely. Action might be requires soon."
And similarly for the other languages.
If the bookmark is edited, the variable would change to "nottranslatable" and the interface language translation search would not be performed.

Habbes - what does Habbes surname mean?
Recorded in many forms including Habbert, Happert, Hobbert, Hobart, Hobbart, Habert, Happel, Hadeke, Habbema, Hobbema, Hapke, Hatje, Hablet, Hablot, Habbes, Haps, Habben, Hobben, Hobbing, and Hubbard, this ancient surname can only be described as 'European'. It derives from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Hugibert or Hubert, itself a compound of the elements 'hug' meaning 'heart', and 'beorht' - bright or famous, a translation which no doubt contributed to its early popularity. The name was probably introduced in Britain by the Saxon invaders of the 8th century, although its first known recording would seem to be that of 'Eudo filius Huberti' (Eudo, son of Hubert) in the Domesday Book of 1086. This was not of course a surname, the first of these being Roger Hubert, who appears in the 1199 Fine Court Rolls of Northumberland, whilst other examples of the recordings include William Hobard of Suffolk in 1291, John Hobart also of Suffolk in 1346, whilst Pastor John Hubbard who embarked from London on 17th April 1635, bound for Virginia was one of the early settlers in the New England colonies. He was also one of the first students at the fledgling Harvard University, of which in 1688, he became President. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Hubard, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as the Father of the Navy, 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Introduce P2P speed and flexibility into your file backup and synchronization jobs
What is GoodSync?
GoodSync is a well-known backup and folder synchronization tool that is built on a standard client-server architecture. It does a solid job of transferring data and synchronizing files between two computers. GoodSync, and programs similar to GoodSync, handles two major job types: file synchronization and backup. The synchronization job makes sure a folder between two machines stays in sync, and all changes are propagated between them. The backup job is used to copy changes in a folder from one machine to another. The enterprise version of GoodSync has a central server to remotely configure and monitor jobs inside the enterprise.
GoodSync, and similar sync software, are based on the old approach of client/server, where data transfer happens between two machines. We've covered the issues enterprises can run into with the client-server approach in a previous post: What's the difference between peer to peer and client server? But let's recap some of them here in our GoodSync comparison as well as explain what makes Resilio Connect an ideal GoodSync alternative .
P2P (Peer to Peer): GoodSync vs Resilio Connect
There are several differences between Resilio Connect and GoodSync, but the major one is peer-to-peer vs. client-server. A GoodSync job, and many GoodSync alternatives, are is limited to only 2 computers, and if you need more computers synced, management becomes complex. In contrast to this Goodsync limitation, Resilio Connect file transfer and synchronization jobs can include any amount of computers in a single job. With Connect you can synchronize 5 servers, backup data to several servers at the same time, or send updated files to as many computers as you need, from several servers.
When comparing GoodSync vs. Resilio, it's important to know that Resilio Connect detects file changes that need to be propagated within a job and then splits file changes into blocks that travel independently between computers. This approach makes sure that all computers get the data as fast as possible, allowing Connect to deliver the fastest file transfer speeds of any file sync and share platform, even outperforming GoodSync, rsync or any other tool. This happens because additional computers participate in the data transfer, distributing the load from a single computer to several. You can see how much faster P2P is by trying our file transfer speed calculator. The speed and efficiency created by utilizing a P2P file transfer protocol helps to make Resilio Connect the best file sync and share software on the market for companies that work with large data sets.
GoodSync TCP/IP protocol vs Resilio Connect uTP protocol
GoodSync's file synchronization platform uses the TCP/IP protocol as the underlying data transfer media for file synchronization and backup. TCP/IP is a safe choice when you need fast and reliable data transfer between two computers. However, when considering programs similar to Goodsync, it's important to understand that the GoodSync file sync protocol faces the following issues:
- NAT traversal can be an issue for GoodSync. If your computer is placed behind NAT (usually it is WiFi, ADSL or Firewall) then the TCP/IP needs port forwarding to establish a direct connection between machines. Connect uses uTP and uTP2 protocols that are based on UDP so it can bypass NAT without the need for additional configuration.
- GoodSync can experience slow speeds over long connections (WAN networks). If two computers are placed far away (usually 2,000 miles apart or more) the packet latency becomes high and the TCP/IP protocol reduces data transfer speed. For long distances, the probability of packet loss becomes higher and this reduces TCP/IP speed even further. GoodSync, and alternatives, don't have a solution for that and requires additional WAN optimized hardware or software to deal with packet latency and packet loss. Resilio Connect file sync software uses a WAN-optimized UDP based protocol – uTP2. This protocol uses bulk based packet transfer with selective acknowledgments and will make sure that you can achieve the fast file transfer speeds that your network allows for.
- GoodSync can synchronize and backup between two computers within a local network only without additional configuration. Using a similar program to GoodSync like Connect, without these issues, provides the ability to synchronize, backup or transfer files quickly between any number of computers across the globe without the need for any additional configuration.
Smarter Data Routing with Resilio Connect
GoodSync is further limited by its use of direct IP addresses of computers to set up connections. It can discover other machines within a LAN using broadcast. Our GoodSync alternative, Resilio Connect, uses a smarter approach that is a combination of multicast and tracker server. The client registers on the tracker server and the tracker server announces the IP addresses of the other machines to all computers within a job. This way you can avoid job changes if machine IP addresses are changed and can set up a direct connection between machines over the Internet without any configuration.
Reduced File Synchronization and Backup Times
When a file is changed on one machine, Connect will then transfer the minimum amount of data over the network. This approach can significantly reduces the time for synchronizing or backing up files. GoodSync uses block-based data deduplication. Using a block-based data deduplication approach is good but it doesn't cover all scenarios. For example, when using GoodSync, if data is added to the beginning of a file – this approach doesn't work. As soon as you add one bit to the beginning of the file, all consecutive blocks will be changed, due to a shift of the data. The fixed block-based algorithms will detect that all blocks are changed and need to be re-transmitted. Connect uses similar delta encoding algorithms to rsync which minimizes data for synchronization in all cases. This algorithm can detect shifted data and detect that only the first block is changed, while other are shifted – from the example above.
Resilio Connect's sync software offers data compression on the fly. While there is a debate whether this is necessary in the modern world, we wanted to give our users the flexibility to synchronize files faster in all cases. With Resilio Connect both deduplication and compression are applied on the fly to any changed files. There is no need for any additional operations from a user perspective. Your files are just transferred faster when syncing.
API Accessibility: Command Line Interface vs. RESTful API
GoodSync uses command line (CLI) approach to control operations. While Resilio Connect uses full blown RESTful based API that allows you to control, monitor your data transfer jobs remotely and develop any needed integration inside your business process.
GoodSync vs Resilio Connect: Enterprise Features
We considered conceptual differences between GoodSync and Resilio Connect. Of course, Resilio Connect has all the other important enterprise features like: encryption of data transfer, scheduler, bandwidth scheduler, AD/LDAP integration and more.

On Maps and Manoeuvres: The Challenge of Mapping Waterloo
This paper looks at the historical inertia which builds once a description of a battle has been put on paper and how that leads to that description being accepted unquestioningly and passed down from historian to historian, unaltered, without ever being touched by original research. By using original documents, this article uses an example from possibly the best documented battle of all times: Waterloo. This example shows how difficult it is to replicate a battle in a map. It also shows how, in some circumstance, the published maps are misleading rather than informative.

NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment operating at CERN SPS. Its main goals are to search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter and to study the onset of deconfinement. For these goals a scan of the two dimensional phase diagram (T−μB) is being performed at the SPS by measurements of hadron production in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions as a function of collision energy. In this paper the status of the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter by the NA61/SHINE Collaboration is presented including recent results on proton intermittency, strongly intensive fluctuation observables of multiplicity and transverse momentum fluctuations. These measurements are expected to be sensitive to the correlation length and, therefore, have the ability to reveal the existence of the critical point via possible non-monotonic behavior. The new NA61/SHINE results are compared to the model predictions.

Named ways of preparing the body for the second wave COVID-19
the Russians told how to prepare your body for a possible second wave of coronavirus.
According to therapist Vladimir Beketov, the immune system in humans is the same in all seasons. In this regard, the expert in interview "KP" urged not to rely on the decrease of the infection in the summer.
the Doctor recommends during the period from late August until October to get vaccinated against influenza. Especially, he advises not to neglect vaccinations for people suffering from lung, heart diseases or diabetes. Also, the doctor believes that it is possible to be vaccinated and pneumococcal disease.
Beketov had been warned that to strengthen the immune system, taking Supplements, tinctures, impossible. Meanwhile, long sleep 8-9 hours, as noted by the candidate of medical Sciences, is able to exert a positive effect on the protective functions of the body.
the physician Also advises Russians to eat chicken, Turkey, fish, fruits, vegetables, greens, and bran, to reduce the consumption of meat, mostly sausage products.

State-wide planning for rural schools – Tamil Nadu
If the click of a mouse could open up an entire range of data on a school in a remote area of India, planning would become better and funds would reach the right place.
UNICEF has been able to accomplish this in Tamil Nadu through the use of the a Geographic Information System supported by Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). It has ensured an efficient distribution of funds to schools that need toilets and drinking water facilities under the government's Total Sanitation Campaign, based on data collected systematically from the state's over 31,000 primary schools. This has helped map details of water, sanitation and hygiene education in all of the state's schools.
Started in Erode district, the project was initially expanded to cover three more districts. Soon the results prompted the state government to expand the initiative to all of its 30 districts. The plan has been shared at the national level as a model for all districts targeted by the Total Sanitation Campaign.

Exo Terra Heat Wave Rainforest Small РТ-2022 20 x 20 cm
The Rainforest substrate heater simulates a heated forest floor of tropical areas. The sun is often blocked by trees and clear skies are alternated by cloudy conditions in tropical areas or rainforests. Heavy rainfall keeps the soil often moist what results in a high air humidity, especially when the sun breaks through the clouds and heats up the moist soil. Because of the climatological conditions, the soil or substrate never heat up to the extreme like in desert environments. The power of the Heat Wave Rainforest substrate heater is designed to create these conditions in the terrarium.
- Ideal for humid or rainforest terrariums
- For under tank or tank wall mounting
- Conductive heat source for reptiles, arachnids and amphibians
- Helps in thermoregulating - important for metabolism, digestion, appetite and activity
- Safe, even heat distribution

Behaviour of interturn winding fault signals in a three-phase two-winding transformer with delta connected primary and wye connected secondary, using high frequency components of DWT is proposed in this paper. The mother wavelet daubechies4 (db4) is employed to decompose high frequency components from signals. Various case studies have been done including the variation of fault inception angles, fault types, and fault locations. The result will be useful in the development of a fault detecting scheme for power transformer in the future.
