to the local auth cache
 BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme();
 authCache.put(getHttpHost(url), basicAuth);
 // 3. Add AuthCache to the execution context
 BasicHttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
 localContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);
 return localContext;
 }
});

To enable SSL on client, a ClientHttpEngine containing a SSLContext can be created to build client as in the following example:
ClientHttpEngine myEngine = new ClientHttpEngine() {
 ...
 public void setSslContext(SSLContext sslContext) {
 this.sslContext = sslContext;
 }
 @Override
 public HostnameVerifier getHostnameVerifier() {
 return hostnameVerifier;
 }
};
myEngine.setSslContext(mySslContext)
ResteasyClient client = ((ResteasyClientBuilder)ClientBuilder.newBuilder()).httpEngine(myEngine).build();

An alternative is to set up a keystore and truststore and pass a custom SslContext to ClientBuilder:
Client sslClient = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().sslContext(mySslContext).build();

If you don't want to create a SSLContext, you can build client with a keystore and truststore. Note if both SSLContext and keystore/truststore are configured, the later will be ignored by Resteasy ClientBuilder.
Client sslClient = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().keystore(keystore,mypassword).
 trustKeystore(trustStore).build();

During handshaking, a custom HostNameVerifier can be called to allow the connection if URL's hostname and the server's identification hostname match.
Client sslClient = ((ResteasyClientBuilder)ClientBuilder.newBuilder()).sslContext(mysslContext)
 .hostnameVerifier(myhostnameVerifier).build();

Resteasy provides another simple way to set up a HostnameVerifier. It allows configuring ResteasyClientBuilder with a HostnameVerificationPolicy without creating a custom HostNameVerifier:
Client sslClient = ((ResteasyClientBuilder)ClientBuilder.newBuilder()).sslContext(mysslContext)
 .hostnameVerification(ResteasyClientBuilder.HostnameVerificationPolicy.ANY).build();

 - Setting HostnameVerificationPolicy.ANY will allow all connections without a check.
 - HostnameVerificationPolicy.WILDCARD only allows wildcards in subdomain names i.e. *.foo.com.
 - HostnameVerificationPolicy.STRICT checks if DNS names match the content of the Public Suffix List (_URL_ Please note if this public suffix list isn't the check you want, you should create your own HostNameVerifier instead of this policy setting.
The RESTEasy Client framework automatically creates and properly configures the underlying Apache HTTP Client engine. When the ApacheHttpClient43Engine is manually created, though, the user can either let it build and use a default HttpClient instance or provide a custom one:
public ApacheHttpClient43Engine() {
 ...
}
public ApacheHttpClient43Engine(HttpClient httpClient) {
 ...
}
public ApacheHttpClient43Engine(HttpClient httpClient, boolean closeHttpClient) {
 ...
}

The closeHttpClient parameter on the last constructor above allows controlling whether the Apache HttpClient is to be closed upon engine finalization. The default value is true. When a custom HttpClient instance is not provided, the default instance will always be closed together with the engine.
For more information about HttpClient (4.x), see the documentation at _URL_
Note. It is important to understand the difference between "releasing" a connection and "closing" a connection. Releasing a connection makes it available for reuse. Closing a connection frees its resources and makes it unusable.
If an execution of a request or a call on a proxy returns a class other than Response, then RESTEasy will take care of releasing the connection. For example, in the fragments
WebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:8081/customer/123");
String answer = target.request().get(String.class);

or
ResteasyWebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:8081/customer/123");
RegistryStats stats = target.proxy(RegistryStats.class);
RegistryData data = stats.get();

RESTEasy will release the connection under the covers. The only counterexample is the case in which the response is an instance of InputStream, which must be closed explicitly.
On the other hand, if the result of an invocation is an instance of Response, then Response.close() method must be used to released the connection.
WebTarget target = client.target("http://localhost:8081/customer/123");
Response response = target.request().get();
System.out.println(response.getStatus());
response.close();

You should probably execute this in a try/finally block. Again, releasing a connection only makes it available for another use. It does not normally close the socket.
On the other hand, ApacheHttpClient43Engine.finalize() will close any open sockets, unless the user set closeHttpClient as false when building the engine, in which case he is responsible for closing the connections.
Note that if ApacheHttpClient43Engine has created its own instance of HttpClient, it is not necessary to wait for finalize() to close open sockets. The ClientHttpEngine interface has a close() method for this purpose.
If your javax.ws.rs.client.Client class has created the engine automatically for you, you should call Client.close() and this will clean up any socket connections.
Finally, given having explicit finalize() methods can badly affect performances, the org.jboss.resteasy.client.jaxrs.engines.ManualClosingApacheHttpClient43Engine flavour of org.jboss.resteasy.client.jaxrs.engines.ApacheHttpClient43Engine can be used. With that the user is always responsible for calling close() as no finalize() is there to do that before object garbage collection.
RESTEasy's default async engine implementation class is ApacheHttpAsyncClient4Engine. It can be set as the active engine by calling method useAsyncHttpEngine in ResteasyClientBuilder.
 Client asyncClient = ((ResteasyClientBuilder)ClientBuilder.newBuilder()).useAsyncHttpEngine()
 .build();
 Future<Response> future = asyncClient
 .target("http://locahost:8080/test").request()
 .async().get();
 Response res = future.get();
 Assert.assertEquals(HttpResponseCodes.SC_OK, res.getStatus());
 String entity = res.readEntity(String.class);

size coil)
note:The lin coil inductance varies with current.
______
Tr ≅ 3.14 √ L C
The current that flows during retrace is produced by
the C and L oscillation. The retrace time is 1/2 the
oscillation frequency of the L and C.
I2L /2 ≅ V2C /2 or I2L = V2C As stated earlier the energy in the yoke moves to the
flyback capacitor during time 2.
V= the amount of the flyback pulse that is above the
supply voltage.
D.C. annualizes is inductors are considered
shores, capacitors are open and generally
semiconductors are removed. The voltage at the
point "B+" is the supply voltage. The collector
voltage of Q1 is also at the supply voltage. The
voltage across C2 is equal to the supply voltage.
When we A.C. annualize this circuit we will find
that the collector of Q1 has a voltage that ranges
from slightly negative to 1000 volts positive. The
average voltage must remain the same as the D.C.
value.
In the A.C. annualizes of the circuit, the
inductance of the yoke (DY) and the inductance of
the flyback transformer are in parallel. The
inductance of T2 is much larger than that if the
DY. This results is a total system inductance of
about 10% to 20% less than that of the DY it's
self.
The voltage across the Q1 is a half sinusoid pulse during the flyback or retrace period and close to zero at
all other times. It is not possible or safe to observe this point on an oscilloscope without a proper high
frequency high voltage probe. Normally use a 100:1 probe suitable for 2,000V peak. The probe must have
been high frequency calibrated recently.
HORIZONTAL SIZE / E/W AMPLITUDE - CORRECTION CIRCUIT:
There are several different methods of adjusting horizontal size.
SIZE COIL
Add a variable coil to the yoke current path
causes the total inductance to vary with the coils
setting.
The yoke current is related to supply voltage,
trace time and total inductance. This method
has a limited range!
The horizontal section uses a PWM to set the
horizontal size. One DAC sets the horizontal
size and another DAC sets the pincushion and
trap.
The Raster Centering (D.C. centering) is
controlled by a DAC.
On small monitors the retrace time is fixed. On
large monitors or wide frequency range monitors
two different retrace times are available. The flyback time is set by the micro computer by selecting two
different flyback capacitors. At slow frequencies the longer retrace time is selected.
Different S corrector capacitor values are selected by the micro computer. At the highest frequency the
smallest capacitor is selected.
SPLIT DIODE MODULATOR
This horizontal circuit consists of two parts. D1, C1, C2 and DY are the components as described above.
D2, C3, C4 and L1 are a second "dummy" horizontal section that does not cause deflection current. By the
D.C. analyzing this circuit the voltage across C2 + C4 must equal the supply voltage (B+). Deflection
current in the DY is related to the supply voltage minus the voltage across C4. For a maximum horizontal
size the control point must be held at ground. This causes the dummy section to not operate and the DY
section will get full supply voltage. If the control point is at 1/3 supply then the DY section will be
operating at 2/3 supply.
Note: The impedance of (D1,C1,C2 and DY) and (D2,C3,C4 and L1) makes a voltage divider. If the
control point is not connected then there is some natural voltage on C4. Most split diode monitors are built
to pull power from the dummy section through L2 to ground. A single power transistor shunts from the
control point to ground. It is true that power can be supplied from some other supply through L2 to rise the voltage on C4. For maximum range a bi-directional power amplifier can drive the control point.
The most exciting feature if the split diode modulator is that the flyback pulse, as seen by the flyback
transformer, is the same size at all horizontal size settings.
HORIZONTAL SWITCH/DAMPER DIODE
On the right hand side of the screen, the H. switch transistor conducts current through the deflection yoke.
This current comes from the S correction capacitors, which have a charge equal to the effective supply
voltage. The damper diode allows current for the left hand side of the screen to flow back through the
deflection yoke to the S capacitors.
FLYBACK CAPACITOR
The flyback capacitor connects the hot side of the yoke to ground. This component determines the size and
length of the flyback pulse. 'Tuning the flyback capacitor' is done to match the timing of the flyback pulse
to the video blanking time of the video signal. The peak flyback voltage on the horizontal switch must be
set to less that 80% if the Vces specification. The two conditions of time and voltage can be set by three
variables (supply voltage, retrace capacitor and yoke inductance) .
S CAPACITOR
The S capacitors corrects outside versus center linearity in the horizontal scan. The voltage on the S cap
has a parabola plus the DC horizontal supply. Reducing the value of S cap increases this parabola thus
reducing the size of the outside characters and increasing the size of the center characters.
S Capacitor value: Too low: picture will be squashed towards edges.
Too high: picture will be stretched towards edges.
By simply putting a capacitor in series with each coil, the sawtooth waveform is
modified into a slightly sine-wave shape. This reduces the scanning speed near the
edges where the yoke is more sensitive. Generally the deflection angle of the electron
beam and the yoke current are closely related. The problem is the deflection angle
verses the distance of movement on the CRT screen does not have a linear effect.
BASE DRIVE CURRENT
The base drive resistor determines the amount of
base drive. If the transistor is over driven the Vsat
looks very good, but the current fall time is poor.
If the base current is too small the current fall time is very fast. The problem is that the transistor will have many volts across C-E when closed.
The best condition is found by placing the transistor in the heaviest load condition. Adjust the base resistor for the least power consumption then increase the base drive a small amount. This will slightly over drive the base.

per shard or five read transactions per second. All applications reading from the stream share the read capacity. You can use the enhanced fan-out feature to scale the number of consuming applications and make sure that each has a dedicated 2 MB per second connection.
This post uses the preceding application as an example. It's estimated that producers create data records at a rate of 20,000 KB per second, and your consumer nodes need to process this same amount of data at the other end of the stream. In addition to handling these rates, it is a good idea to add extra capacity to give the stream headroom for growth.
This headroom also helps your application recover faster in scenarios that could cause a delay or a pause in ingesting or processing data. These scenarios may include:
 - Deploying a new version of a consumer application
 - Transient network issues
As these nodes work to catch up after recovery, they produce or consume records at a higher than standard rate, requiring higher capacity. For this example, you can add 25% percent, or five shards, for headroom. Shards are cost-efficient, but it is up to you how many you want to add.
Scaling scenario
At the time of the game's release, this capacity is deemed sufficient for the application. Ingestion and processing of the data are both running smoothly, and the game's leaderboards are populated with current data. It's now a few weeks after release; the game is steadily gaining popularity and concurrent player numbers are increasing. In a scenario such as this, it's important to have sufficient monitoring to detect the increased load so you can increase throughput by scaling the stream.
The following diagram provides a simplified view of using CloudWatch metrics to monitor your data streams and triggering scaling operations
In this example, these scaling issues could manifest in delayed leaderboard update reports. Because shards are the capacity units in a data stream, each shard's capacity is independent of other shards. If the producers write to a single shard at a rate higher than 1 MB per second or 1,000 records per second, that shard becomes a hot shard and requests exceeding that capacity get throttled, leading to a delay in leaderboard updates. This condition can happen while other shards in the stream are underutilized, so if you are monitoring metrics at the stream level, you may not see any cause for concern, because the stream overall is ingesting data at a rate below its total capacity of 25 MB per second. Amazon Kinesis enables you to seamlessly scale your stream without interrupting your streaming pipeline.
Core concepts that enable scaling
You can write records to a data stream using Put APIs. To write a single record, use PutRecord; to write multiple records, use PutRecords. When executing either one, the request to the Kinesis API has to include the following three components:
 - The stream name.
 - The data record to write to the stream. For this post, this is the scoring result of a particular round in the game.
 - A partition key (for example, the fame session).
The following diagram shows multiple producers writing to a Kinesis data stream. The partition key value is used in combination with a hash function to determine the shard a given record will be written to.
The partition key determines to which shard the record is written. The partition key is a Unicode string with a maximum length of 256 bytes. Kinesis runs the partition key value that you provide in the request through an MD5 hash function. The resulting value maps your record to a specific shard within the stream, and Kinesis writes the record to that shard. Partition keys dictate how to distribute data across the stream and use shards.
Certain use cases require you to partition data based on specific criteria for efficient processing by the consuming applications. As an example, if you use player ID pk1234 as the hash key, all scores related to that player route to shard1. The consuming application can use the fact that data stored in shard1 has an affinity with the player ID and can efficiently calculate the leaderboard. An increase in traffic related to players mapped to shard1 can lead to a hot shard. Kinesis Data Streams allows you to handle such scenarios by splitting or merging shards without disrupting your streaming pipeline.
If your use cases do not require data stored in a shard to have high affinity, you can achieve high overall throughput by using a random partition key to distribute data. Random partition keys help distribute the incoming data records evenly across all the shards in the stream and reduce the likelihood of one or more shards getting hit with a disproportionate number of records. You can use a universally unique identifier (UUID) as a partition key to achieve this uniform distribution of records across shards. This strategy can increase the latency of record processing if the consumer application has to aggregate data from multiple shards.
Kinesis Data Streams scaling mechanisms
The stream remains fully functional during these actions. Producers and consumers can continue to read and write to the stream during the scaling process.
Upon receiving the scaling request, Kinesis sets the stream status to Updating. You can use the DescribeStreams API to check the stream status. When the operation is complete, the stream status shows as Active.
The SplitShard action splits one active shard into two shards, increasing the read and write capacity of the stream. This can be helpful if there is an expected increase in the number of records ingested into the stream or so more Kinesis Data Streams applications can simultaneously read data from the stream for real-time processing.
SplitShard facilitates that process. The hash key space of the parent shard also splits. The two new shards accept new data records and the parent shard stops accepting new records. Existing records in the parent shard are retained for the duration of the stream retention period (the default is 24 hours, configurable up to 7 days). You must specify the new-starting-hash-key value when issuing this command. This value determines the point of the split within the parent shard's hash key space. In most cases, you want to do an even split. However, you might need to do an uneven split if you have unbalanced shards that you want to rebalance, for example. The following diagram shows the SplitShard process in action.
Many streaming workloads have variable data flow rates that fluctuate over time, sometimes following daily, weekly, or seasonal patterns. As you monitor your data flow rates, you may see underutilized shards that, if merged, still have a data flow rate below the shard limits, yet reduce the cost of the stream.
The MergeShards action merges two adjacent shards, producing one shard. Two shards are considered adjacent if the hash key spaces for the two form a contiguous set with no gaps. When the two shards merge, their hash key spaces also merge. The new shard starts accepting new data records. The two parent shards stop accepting new records and retain existing records up to the stream's configured retention period. The following diagram shows the MergeShards process in action.
The UpdateShardCount action is useful when you need to scale your stream, up or down, to a specific number of shards, and you provide that number as a parameter in the API call. Scaling in increments of 25% of the current capacity (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) helps the operation complete faster, but is not required. The command executes a series of SplitShard and MergeShards actions as needed to reach the explicit number of shards you specified. This command splits shard hash key space evenly, creating shards of equal size. There is no option to choose a different value.
Additionally, the Kinesis Scaling Utility available on GitHub provides autoscaling for Kinesis Data Streams by monitoring a stream's Amazon CloudWatch metrics and scaling it up or down accordingly. It can scale a stream by an explicit shard count or as a percentage of the total fleet. There is no requirement for you to manage the allocation of the key space to shards when using this API; it happens automatically.
Balancing shards
After completing a scaling operation, check the distribution of the hash key space in your stream. In most use cases, the hash key space should be evenly distributed across the shards in the stream. Errors in calculating or inputting a shard's hash key space starting value can lead to creating new shards with an unusually large or small hash key space. Unusually large shards receive a high number of read and write requests, leading to throttling and underutilizing the unusually small shards.
The output of the ListShards API lists the starting and ending hash key value for each shard in the stream. You can use these values to identify unbalanced shards, and perform the necessary splits or merges to balance them. The Kinesis Scaling Utility can also generate a report of shard key space sizes that can help you achieve the same result. See the following code:

The duty of care stands for the principle that directors and officers of a corporation in making all decisions in their capacities as corporate fiduciaries, must act in the same manner as a reasonably prudent person in their position would.
Courts will generally adjudge lawsuits against director and officer actions to meet the duty of care, under the business judgment rule. The business judgment rule stands for the principle that courts will not second guess the business judgment of corporate managers and will find the duty of care has been met so long as the fiduciary executed a reasonably informed, good faith, rational judgment without the presence of a conflict of interest. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to prove that this standard has not been met. If the the plaintiff meets the burden, the defendant fiduciary can still meet the duty of care by showing entire fairness, meaning that both a fair process was used to reach the decision and that the decision produced a substantively fair outcome for the corporation's shareholders.
Note: Corporations may insert a provision in their articles of corporation that protect directors (not officers) from facing civil liability under the duty of care.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary

Arms of Morpheus. Dreams interpretation
go in, to fall into the waterIf the dreamer - woman.
Typical dream: 1) Do you dream that you or another woman fall into the water, jump into the water or into the water. Not with a view to drown. This means you want to become a mother, that is to have a baby. Matters in which the color of the water fell. What you see around you. What experience emotions.
If the water is clean, warm, around summer or springtime, you easily and well. So the prospect of giving birth is the most favorable.
If the water is dark, muddy, disturbing you, then give birth you want, but have a health problem. Probably should see a doctor.
Example: " A woman dreams that she goes through the dark forest, sees the lake. Water muddy brown. She enters the water, muddy bottom. She swims and sees flowers. Flowers in children. One of them she wants to calm him. But it separates from child some power. " Forest vegetation is pubic. Getting into the lake, the water as the desire to give birth. Turbidity, mud, dark water, not too favorable prognosis. The second part of the dream repeats desire and it is expressed more clearly. Flower - a female body, and again there is no possibility to perform desired. Waking woman believes that career does not allow her to give birth. The dream shows, that there are health problem. Which can be an obstacle, when it mind to it.
If the water which fell, jumped, dove, got cold, icy. Around the autumn or even winter. Dream says, that you came too late or too late to give birth. You anxious because you ( your unconscious ) to assess the prospects to give birth.
Dream: " Swim in warm water, and around the ice." Interpretation: Ice says " late" to give birth. Apparently quite a few years, the dreamer, or she perceives his age. Somebody believes that 30 years later, to give birth, but for someone to actually 60. Warm, clean water, good, happy mood are promising. There is a desire and health permits. Maybe the dream is connected with the real event, such as a dip on the warm waters in the winter. For example in Kamchatka on the thermal waters. Snow and ice around and in the pool outdoor hot.
Dream: "To see a fallen woman in the ice water." Interpretation: It bears repeating, that what happens to a woman unknown to you (if a woman has a dream ), it concerns you. It's you and the woman despite the desire to give birth, you have the most doubts about the possibility to do it. Painting and there was ice cold in the dream can create warmth and lack of experienced sleeping. The variant that really sleeping during sleep was cold. In the interpretation of dreams to consider a lot of details.
Seasons : spring, summer, autumn, winter is not uncommon in dreams can represent a person's age : childhood, youth, maturity and old age. Or concepts : " early", " Time", " later ", than abounds and art ( literature, painting, etc.).The painting Alfred Kubin woman with fear enters the water. Behind her three monstrous fish and reflected in the water. Her desire to have a morbid fear accompanied by a feeling, a nightmare. Fear in this case speaks of forbidden desire. That is his performance in the dream is strong resistance consciousness. Additionally, indicates the presence of an illness.
Fall, and you can dive into a swamp, and a viscous goo and manhole. In a crack in the pavement, filled with water. But do not drown. All of this, unfortunately, says: "no" health problems do not give you birth. That's what you perceive the situation.
Another example of the dream : "War... Two people on the bank of the river decided to destroy their weapons, machine guns set on fire. Their boat floating on the side enemies. On another boat a few girls. Another boat with a woman and child. Enemies accompany girls and a woman. Who something called out to them : " Jump and swim towards sailors." someone in the crowd will be able to escape. dreamer feels fear. Girls jumped into the water. woman with a child can not be saved, sits in the boat. Ashore visible sailors. Goes shooting. bullets bubbling on the surface. seen staggering in the water, diving head girls. They swam toward the sailors. " Interpretation : Presented a few thoughts, desires : 1) the desired sex scene girls, aggressors with guns, bullets on the water, and 2) at the same time, the lack of sex drive - burned machines, and 3) the desire to have : a girl leaping into the water. Their heads are wavering on the water - the saviors of sailors, and 4) the inability to have a woman in a boat - and jump into the water to escape, and 5) a lot of girls, enemies, sailors - a lot of people - it means secret ( secret desire ). 6) Fear is a real feeling. Sleeping feels unwell. Conclusion: there is a secret desire to give birth, but the outlook is not favorable.
If a man dreams of an unknown man (or woman unknown woman ), the dream is so very sleeper.
In symbolic action " ducking - out of the water " very deep roots. Even in the sacrament of baptism : immersion in the baptismal font (or river) - symbolizes death. A way out of the water - the revival (birth), or rather a new birth. Plunge into the water. Some people still have the ancient rituals, mysteries of death and rebirth. Usually this happens when a boy is converted into a society of men (initiation ). If a person has lived long among strangers and now returned to his clan, tribe (India, Papua New Guinea). He held a symbolic ritual of death and rebirth. Baptism is one of those rituals.
Dreaming about falling or getting into the water and then out of the water. May also indicate some dissatisfaction with your own life. Gets things are not as desirable. People often say : " That would have to start all over again, " or " Now, if re-start, I could then - and then it somehow. According to another gave their lives. " And his dream calms performs desire : "You have been born again " only symbolically.

To invalid escaped from the unconscious in the dream, it requires an existing fear caused by the disease.

Elisha had the faith to ask big things of God (2 Kings 2:9). Elisha also had the faith to do many miracles. … The source of his courage was his knowledge that God was in control and protecting him. He knew his very life was in God's hands so he was not afraid of people.
Why did God send Elijah to Zarephath?
In order to avoid the wrath of the king God told Elijah to hide by the Brook Cherith where he was fed bread and meat by ravens sent from God (vv2-6). After a while, due to the drought, the brook dried up so God told Elijah to go to the town of Sarepta and to seek out a widow that would find him water and food (vv.
Is Days of Elijah biblical?

Where Did the Expression "for the Love of Pete" Come From and What Does It Mean?
This phrase and others like it, for example "For Pete's sake", are euphemisms for the phrases "For the love of God/Christ" or "For God's/ Christ's sake" and hail from a time when those phases were considered blasphemous.
Nowadays phrases like "For the love of God" are commonly used, but the euphemisms are still used as well.
Other phrases with similar origins are "Zounds", archaic British slang, a contraction of "Christ's wounds"; "Oh my goodness" and "Oh my gosh" for "Oh my God; and "Gosh darn it" for "God damn it."

It seems that if an instance is scaled via its properties dialog, the scaling factor does not get correctly accounted for in the area calculation tool(s). A simple example is creating a 10x10 box and making it into a cell, 'test', the computed layer area function returns 100. If the cell 'test' is then scaled by 2 in the properties dialog, when the layer area is checked, it still comes back as 100. This is also true if one descends into the scaled cell 'test', selects the box and computes the area of the selected shapes, it will still come back as 100. It only correctly calculates it if the cell is flattened. Is this the only way to correctly calculate the area of instances which are scaled?

noun: no-claims bonus; plural noun: no-claims bonuses; noun: no-claims discount; plural noun: no-claims discounts
- a reduction in the premium charged for insurance when no claim has been made during an agreed preceding period.
What is a no claims bonus?
A no-claims bonus (NCB), or no claims discount, is a count of the number of years in which you haven't made a claim on your car insurance policy.
Its worth varies from insurer to insurer, but an NCB of five years or more, for example, could give you a 60-75% discount on your premium.
How do I build my NCB?
For every year you're insured without making a claim, you'll earn another year's NCB. Some companies offer accelerated policies where you can earn a bonus in 10 months rather than 12.
You can build up an unlimited number of NCB, but most insurers will only use a maximum of five years when working out a discount.
If I make a claim, how is my NCB affected?
If you make a claim on your policy where your insurer pays out, you'll generally lose some, or all, of your no-claims bonus.
But if you're hit by another car and it's agreed that you weren't at fault, your insurer may be able to reclaim the payout from the other car's insurer and your NCB may not be affected.
In cases where fault can't be agreed on, insurers may split the cost of the claims and both drivers' NCB could be affected. This includes if your car is stolen or damaged by bad weather.
If you pay for a new policy with a reduced NCB and are later found not at fault, you can usually get your NCB reinstated and a refund on the extra premium you paid.
Should I protect my NCB?
Protecting your NCB allows you to have a certain amount of "at fault" accidents without affecting the bonus. So if you have an accident, the NCB remains intact even if your insurer can't claim their costs back. Each insurance company have different rules regarding how many claims are allowed.
This won't necessarily stop your premiums going up after a claim, as insurers use your claims history to calculate premiums, with your NCB discount calculated at the end.
Any remaining NCB you have after the claim may lower your new premium, but there's no guarantee that it'll be lower than the previous year.
What happens when I change my car or policy?
No claims bonuses can usually be transferred to another car, but if you switch insurers before the year is up, you won't get the NCB for that year.
Insurers should provide proof of your bonus at the end of your policy term. You can pass this on to your next provider when you switch.
Some insurers may provide your proof of no claims in the car insurance renewal letter they send you. If it's not there, you can call your insurer and ask them to send it.
If you cancel your policy, you have two years to reuse your NCB, otherwise, it expires and you start from scratch.
Can named drivers build up NCB?
Named drivers aren't usually allowed to build up their own NCB, as it's the main driver's good driving record that the claim-free history will be supporting.
Letting named drivers earn their own NCB could leave the system open to abuse, as you could build up a no-claims discount without ever getting behind the wheel.
There are some insurers that offer NCB for named drivers, but they can't guarantee this will be recognised by other insurers. This is, however, becoming more common.
Does NCB apply to work vehicles?
Commercial policies and fleet vehicles don't typically let you build up NCB, but some insurers will take your experience driving a company car into account when calculating your premium.
If your car is insured for you to use for "social, domestic and pleasure" purposes, as well as with work, then it's likely you can build NCB. Always check though, as each insurer is different.
How to transfer your company car NCB
If you've recently given up your company vehicle, you should be able to use any NCB built up on that car.
But the NCB is only likely to be transferable if you were named on your company's insurance policy for a particular car and for your use only.
Usually, when changing insurers, you need proof of any NCB you've built up from your last provider, but with company policies, many insurers will settle for confirmation from your employer.
Can I transfer NCB from overseas?
It's worth asking, but most UK insurers don't allow NCB built overseas to be transferred to a UK car insurance policy due to different driving laws and the administration involved.

Human Computing and Crowdsourcing in Search
Human Computation is an emerging paradigm that organizes human efforts to carry out a computation or task that computers cannot do well, like detecting objects in videos. In this paradigm, humans become a type of processing unit and crowdsourcing serves as a tool for distributing computations to humans. In recent years, crowdsourcing has been popularized by commercial crowdsourcing platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and has reached an industrial scale, involving millions of Internet users who offer the human processing power. However, unlike CPUs, humans are, well, humans and are influenced by a great many things, including their own motives and aspects of the computation task.
In this lecture we use the evaluation of search engines as a context for studying various aspects of crowdsourcing. In order to measure the performance of a search engine human assessments of search results are needed. Since online search engines involve millions of queries a day and at least 10 times as many retrieved documents, such a task seems like a perfect match for human computing. However, there are many issues to consider, as we will show through a number of experiments conducted using Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

Samsung is taking part in the three-month celebration with its own pavilion, built under the theme of "Living Creatively, Imagining Together."
Covering an area of nearly 2,700 square metres, the three-storey building symbolises a ship on a voyage into the future in search of answers to overcome the many challenges we face on earth. Samsung Electronics, affiliated shipbuilder "Samsung Heavy Industries", and battery manufacturer "Samsung SDI" took part in the realisation of the pavilion.
The key message delivered in this exhibition is that every member of society, including individuals, companies and countries must work together to overcome the future challenges posed by environmental pollution and to use the untapped possibilities presented by the ocean for key solutions so that humanity can coexist with nature.
To illustrate this message, a performance tells the story of a young girl's quest for light, wind and water to save a flower. The girl represents humanity and the flower represents life, while light, wind and water symbolise the basic elements of nature.
The 15-minute show with its spectacular choreography and enchanting images is held daily 15 times a day at the Samsung pavilion, which also showcases the various efforts undertaken by Samsung Electronics, Samsung Heavy Industries and Samsung SDI to save the environment.

text: The Armco iron is one of the purest commercial iron with very low levels of carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. In order to improve the mechanical properties, it is worth applying severe plastic deformation to obtain ultrafine-grained bulk materials, with grain size <1µm. In this study, samples of Armco iron were subjected to a technique of severe plastic deformation named Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB). The important parameter of ARB is the number of cycles and then the von Mises equivalent strain. By means of the Electron BackScattered Diffraction (EBSD) technique, the texture evolution with the number of cycles was studied. The microhardness was also measured in function of the equivalent strain. Finally, the mean grain size and the fraction of high angle grain boundaries were determined as a function of the number of cycles.

Home » Foundation – Tallinding Project – Serrekunda, The Gambia
THE TALLINDING PROJECT started as an effort to help with the building of a Nursery School in the area known as Tallinding, which is a part of Serrekunda, the largest town in The Gambia, West Africa.
The Nursery School was started in 2002 by an elderly British couple who live in The Gambia but was little more than foundations when we became involved in raising the money to continue with the building.
The land is tribal land, equivalent to the village green, and the village elders had requested help to provide Nursery Education for the village children. The local people got together to provide the labour and we raised the money to buy the materials. This is a community effort, the local parents have formed a school committee which governs the school and hires the teachers, all local people. The children pay a small fee which goes towards the teachers salaries and the running costs but it will be some time before the school is totally self supporting.

Definition of agrochemical in English:
A chemical used in agriculture, such as a pesticide or a fertilizer.
- Even the ground water is unfit for drinking due to large-scale application of fertilizers, pesticides and agrochemicals in the tea gardens.
- These were further developed in the 1960s when agro-industrial complexes were set up to grow crops as well as producing fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals.
- However, adverse effects of high input agriculture have been recognized, as fertilizers and agrochemicals discharged from agriculture cause surface water pollution.

The story of the Old Coastguard Station
Nestling on the slipway at Robin Hoods Bay, the Old Coastguard Station is a building with a long and intriguing history. The structure you can see today is perhaps not exactly what you might think.
Records show that in the early 1800's the building then on the site was a public house, later converted into 3 tenements. In March 1829, the recently established Coastguard service took over the building, originally with the aim of combatting smuggling on the Yorkshire coast. They stayed until moving to other premises in the early 1900's.
The building once again reverted to accommodation and in 1910 is recorded as being used for holiday lets. In May 1912 Leeds and Sheffield universities hired the building which became known as the Yorkshire Universities Marine Laboratory. It was rented for £8 per annum until it was purchased for £220 in 1922. The agreement with Sheffield University ended in 1928 but Leeds University's ownership continued.
In the 1960's a grant from the Wellcome Trust enabled the university to demolish the old building and rebuild in a more modern style. One of the features of the purpose-built lab was an 8,000 gallon seawater tank in the basement. From the mid 1960's to its closure in 1982, the lab was principally used as a research establishment. Read more about the marine lab here.
The building was sold and used as a private management training centre until the late 1990's when the National Trust bought it with money from the Neptune Coastline Campaign and bequests from benefactors.
The structure was demolished and rebuilt with an exterior shell as true as possible to the original 1800's design. With the aid of a grant from the North York Moors National Park Authority, it was constructed as an interpretative visitor and education centre, along with a holiday flat on the top floor. The Old Coastguard Station opened to the public in September 2000. Since then the centre's team has welcomed over 600,000 visitors and 35,000 education group visitors.
In 2011 the ground floor exhibition room was renovated to inspire visitors to discover all aspects of life at the edge of the sea including wildlife, geology, tide and wave action as well as human history. A new rock pool tank and hands-on interactive models were installed. Today visitors can also find information about the role of the National Trust locally and other places to visit nearby. Efforts continue to keep displays up to date, reflecting an ever-changing coastline.
The centre is open year-round, please click here to check opening times.


Rétha Oceanic Gin
Rétha Spiritueux is a unique micro-distillery located on the Île de Ré, off the coast of the Cognac region. The name Retha is derived from word for "inhabitant" in the patois of the island. The island is nicknamed "Ré la blanche," or White Re, in reference to the white color of its houses painted with lime and the clarity of the sunlight.
Rétha Spiritueux pays homage to its terroir, its oceanic environment, and the artisanal knowledge of Charentais distillation. Their approach is based on the desire to use the local, natural resources to create authentic spirits.
Rétha spirits are hand-distilled to keep the strength and essence of the raw materials in a micro-distillery, borrowing from the expertise of traditional Charentais distillers.
A water bath is used to allow a slower distillation and better quality. Depending on the needs and specifications of the products to be distilled, it makes it possible to pass from a double-pass distillation or a column distillation .
Rétha Oceanic Gin is a "distilled gin" resulting from a maceration and then a distillation. Filtration is done at room temperature to preserve the aromas and smooth texture that refer to the ocean sweetness.
The ingredients of Gin by Rétha have been carefully selected to convey the sensations of a stroll on the coast.
The recipe of Rétha Oceanic Gin uses the fucus variety algae freshly harvested by hand on the Rétais coastline.
Highly loaded with iodine, they are recognized for their therapeutic virtues. In some Asian countries, they are part of the food consumed regularly.
They are greenish brown in color and have clear gaseous vesicles that allow them to float while attaching themselves to the rock with a disc - shaped crampon.
Tasting Notes
Rétha Oceanic Gin is a distilled gin inspired by the riches of the sea.
Its innovative recipe uses the fucus algae hand-harvested on the Île de Ré to produce a well-tempered gin that pays homage to its maritime identity.
Its oceanic flavors, invigorating, iodized, and its freshness transport you to the edges of the Atlantic Ocean.
An adaptable gin, it works well consumed neat, on the rocks, as an aperitif or digestive, and brings an oceanic touch to the classic Gin and Tonic.
Juniper berry, the foundation of all gins, brings freshness and the invigorating side of the Atlantic. The latter is reinforced by a note of ginger that supports this feeling.
The palate opens and finishes on the iodine, salty and maritime touch of the Fucus algae, complemented by an astonishing citrus note that is enhanced by a hint of lemon. Finally pepper brings strength and ocean power.

Orchestrator Quick Tip: What's the Maximum Size of Parameters?
I see this question on internal discussions list every now and then, so I thought I'd answer it here to be helpful.
The question was:
Is there a maximum length for string parameters in the Initialize Data activity?
And if the answer is "yes" – what would the maximum length for string parameters be?
Let me answer the question by showing you the various points where data transfer occurs and the limitations applied at each point.
The maximum size for any data being passed along the databus is 2GB. This is because the OBJECTINSTANCEDATA table stores the value in a field sized to nvarchar(max). Of course, I would never recommend that you try to use 2GB strings as parameters to anything since the performance is likely to suffer quite a bit.
That said, the individual activities may impose smaller field sizes than this maximum. For instance, when you use an "Initialize Data" activity to start a runbook, and the runbook is started either via the Orchestration console or the web service, Initialize Data doesn't impose any size limits, so you could allow up to 2GB per property value. However, if you use the "Invoke Runbook" activity to start the same runbook, the "Invoke Runbook" activity imposes a limit of 2000 characters on any parameter value. Likewise, the "Write to Web Page" activity imposes a 2000 character limit on most properties, except the "Text" property allows the maximum amount, while the "Write to Database" activity limits most properties to 500 characters, while allowing 4000 characters for the database query data.
One special note about activities created using the Integration Toolkit. All of these activities are generic and are stored in the QIKOBJECT table. For these activities, all of the properties are stored in XML format in a single field named ExecutionData, which is an ntext field. According to MSDN, an ntext field can store 2^30 – 1 (1,073,741,823) characters, or 1GB. So keep that in mind when creating or using Toolkit-based activities… don't go creating activities that have multiple properties that will store huge amounts of data because the combined set of properties (plus the XML surrounding them) can't be over 1GB.
These size limits are not meant to be restrictive, but to help ensure reasonable size growth in the database. Most of the time, the data you use is Published Data which is essentially an internal hyperlink to the data from a previous activity. It doesn't copy the data over and over, replicating a bunch of wasted space along the way. In this case, the text length is actually short, even though the data behind it could be huge because each activity (Initialize Data included) could have that 2GB value availability. Then again, this is really only what is stored in the database. If you choose not to save any activity-specific published data (set via the runbook properties page), then this info is saved only during runbook execution and then discarded, so it doesn't end up bloating your database.
So the answer for the general question of "how big can parameters be?" is … "it dedends". It depends on the individual settings (field sizes in the DB) for each activity, but generally it can be as high as 2GB.


Having Students Show Work with Screencastify
Every math teacher knows the struggle to get students to show their work, and remote and hybrid learning have only made this task more difficult. Screencastify can be a solution for teachers to visually assess students' thinking while completing a math problem. In this session, we'll demonstrate how to use Screencastify to show student work.


Australian scientists have discovered that rotten bananas can provide enough energy to power 500 homes. The government has provided funds for the study which could see the 'rotten fruit idea' becoming a reality.
Australian Banana Growers' Council, said: "It's not a hoax." The bananas are combined with bacteria to produce methane. Pipes leading to the turbine would take the gas all the way to the electric grid.
Tony Heidrich added: "Essentially it's just like a big composting bin. It's a waste product and currently we're not doing anything else with it. This would harness the electrical capacity that it can bring."

Pierre Corneille, the French dramatist, was born in Rouen in 1606. After a Jesuit education he worked as Crown Counsel in Rouen, and for many years kept playwriting as his leisure activity. He wrote tragedies and comedies, and his first success came in 1636 with Le Cid, a tragi-comedy which made Corneille's reputation as a master of serious drama and established the genre known as French classical tragedy. During the next forty years Corneille produced over twenty-five plays. He died in 1684.

Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Leftover, scrap of food that remains after a meal is finished. 2. A scrap, a piece of trash that is left over from any job, as cleaning up the orts on a construction site.
Notes: This word is remarkable in that it is one of the few words in English actually spelled as it is pronounced. It has been in the English language since the 14th century and is making yet another comeback in the 21st. How is that for staying power? It is almost always used in the plural, orts, just as is the case with its near synonyms, leftovers and crumbs.
In Play: The original meaning of today's word apparently was "leftover animal feed", but my experience with animals leads me to believe that animals are careful not to leave food behind. In fact, they tend to help us out with our leftovers: "Ernie, would you let the dog back into the kitchen to clean up the baby's orts?" However, orts can be any kind of leftovers you can imagine: "Oh, the good committee posts go to the senior faculty; junior faculty are left the orts." (Sounds like a faculty feeling its orts, doesn't it?)
Word History: Today's Good Word is probably the reflex of an unattested Old English noun that we surmise was something like *oręt, a cognate of Early Modern Dutch ooraete, now found in a few dialects as oort or orte "remains of food or fodder". If this guess is correct, oris an old prefix of uncertain meaning found in a few frozen forms like ordeal. It would be akin to the German prefix ur- "proto-" seen in that word every spelling bee enthusiast knows, Ursprache "proto-language". The T is what remains in

In Modern Warfare, however, players simply reach level 55 before earning an 'officer rank', with 100 extra officer ranks to be earned. This means that, technically, the max level is 155 – but max rank players are a little peeved that they don't earn any rewards as a result.
What's the highest prestige in Cold War?
Once you hit level 200, you will become a Prestige Master for that Season. This means you have essentially finished that Season in terms of levels, and cannot hit the next Prestige until the next Season. However, for the grinders out there, Treyarch has made the max rank level 1000.
What level is prestige 3?
This is Prestige 1, and you'll keep all the content you previously earned and earn a special sticker and emblem, as well as a Prestige Key, which we'll get to later. At Season Level 50, you'll get to Prestige 2, and at 100 you'll reach Prestige 3.
How do you get prestige?
4 Ways to Influence People and Gain PrestigeAdmitting Your Weaknesses. Imagine you are preparing a presentation to a group of very senior people in your company, and you are concerned they might not value your ideas since you are young and less experienced in the business. … Use Tentative Talk. … Ask more and talk less. … Seek Advice. … Plan in Advance.May 30, 2016
What level is prestige 1?
We'll still have to grind our way from Military Rank 1 to 55, unlocking new weapons and attachments, field upgrades, scorestreaks, perks, and wildcards along the way. Then, after reaching Rank 55, we can earn our first prestige, which is referred to as 'Season Level 1'.
Why is prestige important?
Prestige is a powerful indicator of whether others regard us as valuable members of human society. Academics who publish papers in prestigious journals gain access to better job opportunities, better funding for their research, and better students.

Efforts to incorporate Bowmanstown as a borough occurred as early as 1892. The village contained about 300 inhabitants in 1896 but the nearby New Jersey Zinc Company soon added to its growth. Bowmanstown was incorporated as a Borough on November 29, 1913 for the purpose of providing general local government services to residents of the community. Upon incorporation of Bowmanstown as a borough its boundaries encompassed lands measuring 0.75 square mile. The borough's assessed valuation in 1918 was $279,000.00. The population of 834 in 1920 remained relatively constant for decades. The Bowmanstown Borough Municipal Building (Borough Hall) is a converted school building that was constructed in 1903 to serve the youths of the community. In 1958, the Palmerton School District was established and combined several local schools in order to create a regional school thus making the Bowmanstown campus obsolete. In 1964, the Borough acquired the old brick school building and has been using it as offices ever since. The borough kept the building in its original condition.
The Bowmanstown Borough Authority was incorporated August 24, 1997 and was created for the purpose of owning and operating the Bowmanstown Public Water System. On February 11, 2002 the Authority began construction of its water system improvement project which included a new chlorine building, looping numerous water mains, installing new services, erection of a new 250,000 gallon Standpipe and a new liner to the one Reservoir. In 2009, the Authority replaced their two roofs at the Reservoirs with metal roofs. Ongoing water projects will continue to transpire throughout the years.

Bells must be kept in every home – it is a well-known fact. With their shimmering, they protect the home from evil spirits, as well as preserve peace, health and kindness in the household. Each bell makes a unique sound, dependent on the size, shape & thickness of the bell.
The bells are freely to hang, for example, into a tree. If it is windy or birds hopping around on the branch, then they tinkles. Each bell is unique and slightly different in color due to it being handmade.
The height of the bells are ca. 6.5cm, the diameter is ca. 7cm x 5.5cm

This paper examines the drained bearing response of circular footings resting on structured soil deposits. Numerical simulations have been carried out using a finite element formulation of the Structured Cam Clay model. A parametric study was conducted by varying the parameters that govern the behaviour of structured soils and guidelines are given for designers to identify when effects of the soil structure are important. Under fully drained conditions, deformation within the structured soil supporting the footing usually occurs as a local or punching shear failure due to high compressibility of the structured soil and the mobilised bearing pressure increases with the footing movement, without reaching an ultimate value. A novel approximate method is presented to obtain the load–displacement response of a rigid circular footing resting on the surface of a structured soil deposit. This requires the properties of the soil in the reconstituted state and two additional parameters, which govern the natural structure of the soil. The proposed method has been applied to a published case study, where plate load test results are given for rigid circular steel plates resting on structured soil deposits. Fair agreement is observed between the computed and experimental results, suggesting the approximate method may be useful in design studies of foundations on structured soil deposits.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - April 11, 1989):
The world's only surviving four-masted, full-rigged ship, FALLS OF CLYDE (1878) is the oldest surviving American tanker and the only surviving sailing oil tanker left afloat. Built during a shipbuilding boom inspired by increasing trade with the United States, the ship made several voyages to American ports while under the British flag. Sold to American owners in 1898, it gained American registry by a special act of Congress in 1900. Henceforth she was involved in the nationally important Hawaiian trans-Pacific sugar trade and later in transporting petroleum as a bulk cargo carrier.

Testing Einstein's Equivalence Principle with Cosmic Transients
The Einstein equivalence principle (EEP) is an important foundation of general relativity and many other metric theories of gravity. At the post-Newtonian level, the accuracy of the EEP can be tested through the numerical values of the parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters, such as the parameter γ. Specifically, the EEP accuracy can be constrained by comparing the γ values for different kinds of particles, or for the same kind of particle with different energies, since all gravity theories satisfying the EEP predict the same γ values for different test particles. There are a few precise tests of the EEP using constraints on the differences of the γ values of different tested particles. Among the most famous are the measurements of the time delay of the photons and neutrinos radiated from supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. In this talk, I will show you that the EEP can also be tested using the time delay of particles such as photons, neutrinos and gravitons with different energies arising in cosmic transients, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), fast radio bursts (FRBs), TeV blazar flares, gravitational wave events. I will also talk about our recent work on the constraints of the photon mass with the same time delays in GRBs and FRBs.

Finding Out Connection Details (U)
The Status (U) command provides further information with regards to the DS. Specifically, when issued through the serial port, it returns two (or, optionally, three) parameters:
ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd Stands for the IP address the DS is currently communicating with (or has last communicated with, or will next communicate with)
ppppp Stands for the with which the DS is (has, will) communicating with.
[/iii.iii.iii.iii] If U is sent with the optional parameter 1 (U1 ), then the reply includes this argument, which stands for the IP address of the DS in the PPPoE link (if such a link is active).
In essence, this command allows you to see who the DS is communicating with, once you have used the Echo (X) command and have found out that a connection is established.

This action is used to get a tile index on a given layer. The layer is specified from the layer name given (a string, as used to name the layer in the Room Editor), and then you give an x and y position to find the tile to get the index of. The tile will be the one that the given position falls within in the room, and the index will be returned to the target variable. The x and y position can be flagged as being relative to the position of the calling instance, and the target variable can be flagged as a temporary (local) variable that can be used until the end of the event.
Argument Description Layer The layer to set the tile on x The x position to check y The y position to check Target The target variable to store the tile index
The above action block code checks for a mouse left button press and if one is detected it gets the index of the tile cell that the position of the mouse falls within. This tile index is then checked and if it is not 0, it is set to 0.

There are two sketches of Dryburgh Abbey on this page. With the sketchbook inverted is the continuation of a sketch from folio 70 (D26052; CCLXVII 72), showing the abbey from the east. With the book turned to left from the previous sketch is a view of Dryburgh Abbey from the south. This formed the basis of Turner's depiction of the abbey in his watercolour, Dryburgh Abbey circa 1832 (Tate N05241),1 prepared as the frontispiece illustration to volume 5 of Sir Walter Scott's Poetical Works; the rest of the landscape was based on a drawing across folios 8 verso–9 (D25941–D25942; CCLXVII 8a–9).
This sketch looks towards the gable of the south transept, with the chapter house on the right and the south range to the left. Some details of the abbey are altered in the watercolour, which (as Anne Lyles has observed) was to some extent an amalgamation of several sketches.2

Definitions for xerophyteˈzɪər əˌfaɪt
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word xerophyte
desert plant, xerophyte, xerophytic plant, xerophile, xerophilous plant(noun)
plant adapted for life with a limited supply of water; compare hydrophyte and mesophyte
Any plant suited for life in a habitat where water is scarce, such as in a desert or chaparral. Such plants may be succulent, have small or reduced leaves, or spines.
A desert plant
Origin: xero- + -phyte
A xerophyte is a species of plant that has adapted to survive in an arid environment, such as a desert. The morphology and physiology of xerophytes are variously adapted to conserve water, and commonly also to store large quantities of water, during dry periods. Other species may be adapted to survive long periods of desiccation of their tissues, during which their metabolic activity may effectively shut down. Plants with such morphological and physiological adaptations are called xeromorphic.
The numerical value of xerophyte in Chaldean Numerology is: 6
The numerical value of xerophyte in Pythagorean Numerology is: 1

Certain areas require more information on noise levels than can be provided by a simple noise survey. There may be a requirement to view sound pressure levels everywhere in a workplace, or around a particular piece of plant and machinery.
Noise mapping can provide that detail. The concept is very simple – a noise map is just a visual representation of noise levels in a workplace in the form of a contour map. Contours are usually coloured to indicate intensity of noise, presence of high or low frequencies etc., and the map is usually overlaid on a plan of the area or workplace.
Though simple in principle, accurate maps can be difficult to produce in practice, particularly in dynamic environments where noise sources are intermittent and unpredictable. This can be overcome to a certain extent by taking multiple measurements, time weighting measurement data, and using noise prediction techniques. Noise mapping software can also be used to generate personal noise exposures based on position and movement through the workplace.
Shorcontrol have produced high-quality internal noise maps for several clients.
- Visualisation of acoustic environment
- Maps overlaid on client's blueprints/site plans
- Range of information can be displayed – intensity, frequency, peak levels etc.
- Visual differentiation of 'safe' and 'unsafe' zones possible

- ItemDynamic behaviour of normally reinforced concrete wind turbine support structures(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2015-12) Van Zyl, W. S.; Van Zijl, G. P. A. G.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Transportation logistics of large steel towers have led to concrete towers becoming a viable option. There are currently no design codes dealing exclusively with the design of concrete wind turbine towers. Wind turbine towers have strict constraints on the fundamental frequency of the tower to avoid resonance. This paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of wind turbine towers using nonlinear finite element modelling. Focus is placed on the effect of crack formation and soil stiffness on the fundamental frequency of the tower. An analytical model is then proposed that can be used in the primary design stage to determine the geometry of the tower that satisfies the fundamental frequency requirements.

The following works for a 'round' area, but not a rectangular one...
dx = abs(center.x - place.x);
dy = abs(center.y - place.y);
dh = Math.sqrt((dx * dx) + (dy * dy));
radius = dh - padding;

I think this should work. Not tested.
dx = abs(placeLocationPixels.x - ourLocationPixels.x)
dy = abs(placeLocationPixels.y - ourLocationPixels.y)
ox = dx - ((screenSize.x / 2) - padding);
oy = dy - ((screenSize.y / 2) - padding);
if (ox < 0) ox = 0;
if (oy < 0) oy = 0;
radius = sqrt((ox*ox) + (oy*oy));
edit: this is not in any particular language.

I'm not sure but maybe you can calculate the convex hull, and then circumscribe it into a rectangle, then you will have the scale of your map to ensure that every circle is shown on the screen.

Early History of Calflora
started in 1994 by Ann Dennis while at the US Forest Service to
help assess how management practices might affect wildlife, plant
diversity, and forest health. Originally an 8-character DOS filename,
Calflora was a database of species information that could be downloaded
and used on a personal computer. Subsequent versions made the taxon
table a web-searchable database, and tested the three table concept
of taxon, synonymy and occurrence data.
An important early collaborator was the Texas A&M University Bioinformatics Working Group.
In 1997, Calflora began
collaborating with the UC
Berkeley Digital Library Research Project to unite the Calflora
database with a collection of wildflower images. Digital Library
Project staff members including Ginger Ogle, Joyce Gross, Jeff Anderson-Lee,
and Loretta Willis provided invaluable assistance in advising
and developing the original CGI-based technical infrastructure of Calflora.
of the CalPhotos wildflower image collection was formed by a donation
of scanned slides from photographer and amature botanist Brother Alfred Brousseau
of St. Mary's College.
This was upplemented by additional major photo donations from the California
Academy of Sciences, California Department of Food and Agriculture,
and many private individuals. Calflora has worked with
to expand their collection of California native plant photos and weed photos.
Tony Morosco also joined
Calflora in 1997 to begin assembling a library of observation data
on California plants.
In January of 2000 Ann
Dennis, Tony Morosco, John Game, Emily Roberson, and Dean Taylor
founded the public benefit corporation The Calflora Database
to ensure the future of Calflora's services.
Calflora is an
independent organization dedicated to providing scientific information
about California plants for research, conservation, and education.
Calflora is supported by a mixture of funding from government agencies,
grants from foundations, and private donors. Many other individuals
and organizations also contribute data, expertise, and technical

Abaqus Tokens & CPU's
Abaqus is licensed through tokens. Tokens can be used to access both the Standard and the Explicit solver. These solvers have no element or node limits other than the bounds of your computer hardware. For large and time consuming FEA models, the computational throughput generally improves with multiple CPU's or multiple CPU-core's. A minimum of 5 analysis tokens is required to run a model on a single CPU-core. Increasing the CPU-cores can reduce the computational time but the job will need more tokens. The Abaqus Token Calculator (also known as the Abaqus license calculator) on the right will determine how many tokens are required.
Abaqus Tokens & GPU's
GPU (also referred to as a GPGPU in order to distinguish it from a graphic-purpose GPU) behaves as a co-processor to a CPU. Therefore, the GPU requires the use of at least one core per CPU socket. To determine the tokens required for Abaqus utilizing a GPU, count the number of desired CPU cores and then include the GPU as a single core.
As an illustration, to run Abaqus Standard on a single-GPU, the total number of tokens is 6 which is equivalent to running on 2 CPU-cores. See below for an example:
Minimum GPU requirement is CUDA Compute Version 3.0 or higher.
Abaqus Token Calculator
Enter the number of desired cores in the form below and the number of tokens will be returned:
Benefits of Abaqus with GPU Computing
GPU's have revolutionized high-performance computing (HPC) for Abaqus simulations. A significant economic advantage of GPU computing for Abaqus is that a single GPU, which contains hundreds or thousands of CUDA cores, will consume one token while a CPU with only a few cores will each consume a token. With fewer tokens required to achieve similar simulation throughput, the overall cost is reduced. For more information including the benefits of GPU computing, visit Abaqus performance on Nvidia GPU's.

The people at PETA pronounce the name of their organisation in a different way to what one might expect, in my opinion. I have been mispronouncing it for years! Well there it is and now I know. How did I find out? PETA now have a regular podcast and the introduction includes pronouncing the acronym: PETA. Update: about 18 months later I realised why they prefer this pronunciation. It is because they want to avoid the word 'pet' in their acronym. They don't like the use of the word 'pet' to describe companion animals because it encourages the wrong relationship between human and animal.
Please play this short audio file for the correct way to say PETA.
