Australian Urban Expansion
Australian cities and towns are constantly evolving to suit the living requirements of an ever growing population. Australia's current population of more than 22 million in 2011 has grown significantly from approximately 15 million in 1981 with the majority of population growth occuring in Australia's urban environment.
This satellite image gallery shows the expansion of Australia's major towns and cities in every State and Territory since the 1980's. Residential expansion, new infrastructure (such as freeways), and changes in environmental features including reservoirs and dams can all be seen through comparison 'swipe' imagery.
Geoscience Australia and its predecessor agencies have been acquiring satellite imagery for over 30 years resulting in an Australian Government collection continaing more than 400 000 images. The diversity of uses for this information ranges from environmental monitoring and management, to directing emergency management agencies and assisting border protection control.
This Urban Expansion Satellite Image Gallery displays both true and false colour images from the Landsat series of satellites comparing before (top image layer) and after images captured over a +20 year period.

Skincare trends are closely related to general wellness trends, and precious stones are no exception. The natural properties of jade are being used to benefit skin in the form of hand-held rollers that are easy to find and use. Curious? Read on to learn more about this hot trend.
The benefits seem endless:
- Aids in product absorption – when used alongside moisturizers and serums, jade rollers can help the products penetrate the skin more easily.
- Helps offset signs of aging – use of a jade roller has been known to improve skin elasticity, tone facial muscles, and decrease wrinkles.
- Promotes healthy bodily functions – blood flow, circulation, lymphatic drainage, and collagen production are all known to get a boost from jade rollers.
- Reduces unwanted issues – using a jade roller can help eliminate inflammation, toxins, and jawline breakouts, as well as sinus pressure and sinus headaches. Stress and tension can also be lessened.
- Makes skincare feel special – incorporating a jade roller into your skincare routine can help it feel like a self-care ritual and less like a chore, allowing a good habit to form easily.
There aren't many downsides:
- Bacteria can grow – if not cleaned regularly, jade rollers can develop bacteria that's harmful to your skin. Clean regularly or after each use to avoid these kinds of issues.
- Too much pressure can be detrimental – jade rollers are intended to be used with light pressure. Anything beyond that can lead to irritation, inflammation, or it can aggravate pre-existing conditions.
Everyone loves insider tips and tricks:
- Use your nose – the bridge of your nose is a great reference point for how and where to use your roller. When in doubt, rolling upwards and out from that central point is a good practice.
- Store your roller in the fridge – the cooler the stone is, the more it will soothe your skin.
- Pair with sheet masks – Using the roller after applying a sheet mask to your face can help the mask adhere and promotes better absorption of the mask's ingredients.
- Choose the type of stone you need – rollers made with jade are very popular, but other stones are being used now as well. Rose quartz and amethyst are common, so do a little research on the properties of each to determine the best stone for you.
Combining healthy skincare practices with beneficial stones seems like a win-win situation! If you're looking at incorporating a jade roller into your routine, feel free to give Dr. Manning and team a call for their insight on the best approach.

Are Iceman Blood Cells Really the Oldest?
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Researchers discovered intact red blood cells in the body of Ötzi the Iceman, a world-famous once-frozen natural mummy found in the Alps in 1991. Livescience called them the "world's oldest blood cells."1 But clear evidence shows that other blood cells hold the real record.
Forensic researchers have gleaned a wealth of information about the Tyrolean Iceman, commonly known as Ötzi. For example, chemical traces show places he had recently been, tiny particles revealed his last meal of red deer and bread, and his boots were likely made by an ancient professional bootmaker. An arrowhead had lodged in his left shoulder, damaging an artery and likely causing his death. Just this year, geneticists sequenced his DNA, finding that modern inhabitants of the Mediterranean's Corsica have the most similar sequences.2
Now, scientists discovered intact red blood cells in tissue samples from a wound that his hand suffered, as well as the arrow wound to the chest. Their research appeared in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, where the authors wrote "It was initially assumed that the blood had disintegrated owing to autolysis within the corpse."2 Autolysis is the process where oxygen, which is especially abundant within oxygen-carrying red blood cells, reacts with and fragments the proteins that comprise cells. Few, if any, expected that red blood cells could have persisted within Ötzi for perhaps thousands of years until today.
What appeared to be red blood cells were probed with two techniques to ensure their identity. Atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy both clearly confirmed Ötzi's red blood cells, according to the report.3 But in contrast to the news headlines, they do not appear to be the oldest.
In 1992, researchers assigned Ötzi to a European Copper age that occurred after Stone age remains were deposited in that area.4 He probably lived only a few thousand years ago after the post-Flood ice age.5
But red blood cells from even earlier specimens have appeared under paleontologists' microscopes. Totally unexpected, the bone marrow of a T. rex recovered in 1990 from Montana had what appeared to be red blood cells. Their story was recounted in Earth magazine.
The lab filled with murmurs of amazement, for I had focused on something inside the vessels that none of us had ever noticed before: tiny round objects, translucent red with a dark center. Then a colleague took one look at them and shouted, 'You've got red blood cells. You've got red blood cells!'6
Their technical report appeared in Science in 2005.7 Some of the same authors involved in a much larger team described what looked identical to red blood cells found in a hadrosaur bone as "cell-like structures" in Science in 2009.8
Of course, both the T. rex and hadrosaur are widely believed to be tens of millions of years old. Any red blood cells should have long since disintegrated. The Ötzi study even verified that his blood cells had lost much of their integrity by comparing the Raman scans with those of modern blood samples. But not only did the dinosaur bone marrow results show clear pictures of red-colored, round disks inside blood vessels, they also detected hemoglobin.7 Why are these not the rightful record-holders for oldest blood cells?
Since the dinosaur fossils formed as a result of Noah's Flood, which produced the Alps mountain range that Ötzi later walked upon, the dinosaur red blood cells are older than Ötzi's by perhaps a millennium or two. In order to maintain belief in millions of years, those who insist that Ötzi's are the oldest blood cells must ignore the dinosaur data.

Kairit Kaur (University of Tartu / Tallinn University Library): Totentanz and graveyard poetry: how to grasp the Baltic German reception of English Literature and Culture
Writing my theses "Dichtende Frauen in Est-, Livund Kurland, 1654–1800. Von den ersten Gelegenheitsgedichten bis zu den ersten Gedichtbänden" (Poetry writing women in Estonia, Livonia and Courland, 1654–1800. From the first occasional poems to the first poetry collections), Tartu 2013, I encountered the interesting phenomenon of a Baltic German occasional poem published in Tallinn in 1759 that might have been inspired by the English graveyard poetry that was popular at the time in Western Europe and in Russia. There was, however, no research into the reception of English literature in 18th-century Estonia. When I started work as a specialist in old books at the Tallinn University Academic Library in 2013, I got the chance to catalogue subclass XII (poetry and drama) of the library of the Estonian Literary Society, a Baltic German learned society founded in 1842. In addition to Baltic German poetic and dramatic works it contains many works of mostly Western European literature, primarily German, but also French and English, and – to a lesser extent – Italian, Spanish and Scandinavian. As a researcher, my aim is to investigate how world literature came to Tallinn and Estonia, combining history of books and literary history. When and in what ways did English literature come to Estonia? What was read in original languages and what reached the Baltic German reader via German translation? Who possessed English literature and how did it shape the local literature? Which part of it reached later Estonian national literature and which did not, and why? In my presentation I would like to describe and discuss my first findings, taking subclass XII as the starting point.

forward the local port to a remote server.
Managing Port Forwarding Rules in Windows
Make sure that your firewall (Microsoft Windows Defender Firewall or a third-party firewall that are often included into an antivirus software) allows incoming connections to the new port. You can add a new allow rule to Windows Defender Firewall with the command:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="forwarded_RDPport_3340" protocol=TCP dir=in localip=10.1.1.110 localport=3340 action=allow
Or using the New-NetFirewallRule PowerShell cmdlet:
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "forwarder_RDP_3340" -Direction Inbound -Protocol TCP –LocalPort 3340 -Action Allow
When creating an incoming firewall rule for port 3340 via Windows Defender Firewall graphical interface, no program needs to be associated with it. This port is only listened by the network driver.
You can create any number of Windows port forwarding rules. All netsh interface portproxy rules are persistent and are stored in the system after a Windows restart. Also, there were cases when in Windows Server 2012 R2 the port forwarding rules were reset after server reboot. In this case, you need to check whether there is a periodic disconnection on the network interface, and whether the IP address changes when the OS boots (it is better to use a static IP instead of dynamic DHCP). As a workaround, I had to add a batch script to the Windows Task Scheduler with the netsh interface portproxy rules that run on the system startup.
To display a list of all active TCP port forwarding rules on Windows, run the command:
netsh interface portproxy show all
In our case there is only one forwarding rule from local port 3340 to 3389:
Listen on ipv4: Connect to ipv4:
Address Port Address Port
--------------- ---------- --------------- ----------
10.1._PHONE_ 10.1._PHONE_
Display all port forward rules
Tip. You can also list port forwarding settings in portproxy as follows:
netsh interface portproxy dump
#========================
# Port Proxy configuration
#========================
pushd interface portproxy
reset
add v4tov4 listenport=3340 connectaddress=10.1.1.110 connectport=3389
popd
# End of Port Proxy configuration
netsh interface portproxy dump
To remove a specific port forwarding rule:
netsh interface portproxy delete v4tov4 listenport=3340 listenaddress=10.1.1.110
To remove all existing mapping rules and completely clear the port forwarding rules table:
netsh interface portproxy reset
Important. This forwarding scheme works only for TCP ports. You won't be able to forward UDP ports this way. Also you can't use the loopback interface 127.0.0.1 as the connectaddress.
You can use Windows Server with the RRAS and NAT role installed to configure port forwarding for UDP traffic. You can configure port forwarding between server interfaces using the graphical snap-in (rrasmgmt.msc) or with the command:
netsh routing ip nat add portmapping Ethernet1 udp 0.0.0.0 53 192.168.100.100 53
Another portproxy feature is an opportunity to make it look like any remote network service is running locally.
For example, let's redirect the connection from the local port 5555 to a remote HTTP server with IP address 157.166.226.25 (CNN website):
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=5555 connectport=80 connectaddress= 157.166.226.25 protocol=tcp
Now if you go to http://localhost:5555/ in your browser, the CNN Start page will open. So despite the browser is accessing the local computer, it opens a page from an external web server.
localhost:5555 open remote page on localhost
Port forwarding rules can also be used to forward a port from the external IP address of a physical NIC to a port of a virtual machine running on the same host. In Hyper-V, you can configure port forwarding on a Virtual Switch level (see below).
Windows cannot forward a range of TCP ports. If you need to forward multiple ports, you will have to manually create multiple portproxy forwarding rules. The easiest way is to generate a list of netsh interface portproxy add commands with different port numbers in notepad and then paste them into the command prompt for execution.
Port Forwarding in Hyper-V Server
When using the Hyper-V role on your computer (it can be installed on both Windows 10 and Windows Server, or as a free Hyper-V Server), you can configure DNAT port forwarding rules using PowerShell. Suppose you want to redirect all https traffic that your Hyper-V host receives to the IP address of the virtual machine running on the host. To do this, use the Hyper-V StaticMapping commands.
First you need to create a Virtual Switch with NAT:
New-VMSwitch -Name "HTTPS-NAT" -SwitchType NAT -NATSubnetAddress 192.168.100.0/24
Then you need to connect the necessary VM to the specified vswitch and enable the address translation rule for all virtual machines connected through this Hyper-V virtual switch:
New-NetNat -Name HTTPS-NAT -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 192.168.100.0/24
Add-NetNatStaticMapping -ExternalIPAddress "0.0.0.0/24" -ExternalPort 443 -Protocol TCP -InternalIPAddress "192.168.100.77" -InternalPort 443 -NatName HTTPS-NAT
After executing these PowerShell commands, all HTTPS traffic that comes to port 443 of the Hyper-V host will be forwarded to the private IP address of the virtual machine.

Unable to Add/Remove Role: Windows Server Requires Restart _URL_ _URL_ Wed, 10 Mar 2021 09:00:00 +0000 _URL_ When installing any role or feature on Windows Server 2016, an error appears that the server requires a restart: "The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. The operation cannot be completed, because the server that you specified requires a restart". Ok, we restart our server and try to install a role again. The same error appears. And so it goes repeatedly .
Windows Server Feature Installation error "The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed, because the server requires a restart"
As a result, we cannot install or remove any of the roles/features on Windows Server even after restarting the server and installing the latest updates.
The server event log (Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System) shows an error with the EventID 7041 and Service Control Manager as a source. The event description says:
This service account does not have the required user right "Log on as a service".
To solve the problem, you must grant the logon as a service permissions to "NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES" (and NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID, if the error is related to the installation of the WSUS role or SQL Server role).
 1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor: gpedit.msc
 2. Go to Computer Configuration –> Windows Settings –> Security Settings –> Local Policies –> User Rights Assignment;
 3. Find the Log on as a service policy;
 4. As you can see, there is no NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in this policy. Let's try to add it: Add User or Group -> NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES. An error occurs: name not found.
 gpo - NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICE name not found
How can you add a service account to a local policy? The only possible way I could find to grant the "Log on as a service" permissions to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES is to use the ntrights.exe tool (from the old Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit).
Download and install the Server 2003 Resource Kit (rktools.exe), then grant the SeServiceLogonRight permission using these commands in the elevated command prompt:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
ntrights.exe +r SeServiceLogonRight -u "NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES"
Granting SeServiceLogonRight to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES ... successful
ntrights.exe SeServiceLogonRight to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES
If there is no NETWORK SERVICE in the current permissions list, add this account as well. If necessary, add the permissions for NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID in the same way

LAWINA - Landslide detection and windfall assessments based on COSMO-SKYMED X-BAND data
The COSMO-SkyMed program is designed to enhance the monitoring and management of the Earth for applications including civil protection (management of environmental hazards), defense and security, as well as scientific and commercial applications. All weather and Day/Night acquisition capabilities, short revisit times and very high spatial resolution provide new opportunities for SAR data applications in the field of risk management. Within the scope of the project LAWINA the benefit of COSMO-SkyMed data for improved identification and monitoring tasks concerning two hazards are studied:
1. the Permanent Scatterer PSInSAR technique will be applied in the area of Corvara, a slow moving landslides threatening villages and infrastructure in the tourist destination of the Dolomites. The results will be compared with previous studies and added value of the integration of C-band and X-band radar data will be evaluated
2. the integration of COSMO-SkyMed data with data from other sensors is tested for the identification of areas affected by windfall.

function hook_field_schema
Define the Field API schema for a field structure.
This is invoked when a field is created, in order to obtain the database schema from the module that defines the field's type.
This hook must be defined in the module's .install file for it to be detected during installation and upgrade.
Parameters
$field: A field structure.
Return value
An associative array with the following keys:
 - columns: An array of Schema API column specifications, keyed by column name. This specifies what comprises a value for a given field. For example, a value for a number field is simply 'value', while a value for a formatted text field is the combination of 'value' and 'format'. It is recommended to avoid having the column definitions depend on field settings when possible. No assumptions should be made on how storage engines internally use the original column name to structure their storage.
 - indexes: (optional) An array of Schema API indexes definitions. Only columns that appear in the 'columns' array are allowed. Those indexes will be used as default indexes. Callers of field_create_field() can specify additional indexes, or, at their own risk, modify the default indexes specified by the field-type module. Some storage engines might not support indexes.
 - foreign keys: (optional) An array of Schema API foreign keys definitions.

text: MF radar is an important instrument for measuring the wind field of the mesosphere and electron density of the lower ionosphere. The principle, configuration and working mode of a new MF radar in Kunming is presented firstly. Then, its observation data are preliminary analysed. The observation in January 2009 shows the certain fluctuation character of the horizontal wind with the largest zonal velocity of 80 m/s and meridional velocity of 40 m/s. The data in this month are studied by using Lomb-Scargle periodogram and harmonic fitting method. It indicates that the diurnal tide is the major perturbance component of the wind field in the height between 80~100 km. The amplitudes of the zonal and meridional tides change with height, and the phases propagating downward. It is also shown that the phase of the meridional tide is ahead of the zonal one. The comparison between the observed electron density on daytime and IRI2000 value indicates that both the variations versus height are agree well with each other, though sometimes the former is smaller.

Using Tooltips With Form Validation
The jQuery UI tooltip widget is a good way to describe what's required in a specific form input element. A good way to instruct the user, so that they're less likely to receive validation errors when they submit the form. Even with this help, the user will likely get something wrong, or just forget to supply information altogether. In this case, you can use the same tooltip widget to provide a subtle visual cue that there's something wrong with their input.
For example, here's what the form might look like as they're filling it out - before they make a submission attempt.
And here's what happens when the user tries to submit the form without supplying the first name field.
Note that this form validation also changes the state of the input itself. It also changes the visual state of the tooltip, but it's only displayed if the user hovers over the input, or if the input gains focus. We're not even changing the content of the tooltip when it enters the error state. We usually shouldn't have to because it's going to be something trivial the user got wrong, and the visual cue is enough to set them on the right path. Here's what the tooltip and validation code looks like.
function error( $input ) {
 return $input
 .tooltip( 'option', {
 tooltipClass: 'ui-state-error'
 }).addClass( 'ui-state-error' );
$(function () {
 $( '[title]' ).tooltip().on({

Ash is the name of three very distinct group of trees. In America and Europe, "ash" generally refers to trees of the Genus Fraxinus. In Great Britain, "ash" also refers to the mountain ash or Rowan, Genus Sorbus. In Australia, "mountain ash" refers to a type of eucalyptus, Eucalyptus regnans, one of the tallest trees in the world (perhaps second only to the coast redwood).

*Some botanists include the Oleaceae
in the order Lamiales.
The Genus Fraxinus is in the olive family (Family Oleaceae). Ashes are usually medium to large trees. Most have pinnately-compound, opposite leaves. Seeds are borne in keys, a type of fruit known as a samara.
The white ash is a particularly important timber tree in eastern North America, and is the source of wood for quality wooden baseball bats. The green ash is widely planted as a street tree in the United States. The inner bark of the blue ash has been used as a source for a blue dye.
Ashes of eastern North America include:
Ashes of western and southwestern North America include:
Ashes of Europe include:
Ashes of Asia include:
Ashes of Africa (North Africa only) include:
Cultural aspects
Norse mythology, the World Tree, Yggdrasil, was an ash tree, and the man, Ask, was formed from an ash tree (the first woman was made from alder). Elsewhere in Europe, snakes were said to be repelled by ash leaves or a circle drawn by an ash branch. Irish folklore claims that shadows from an ash tree damage crops. In Cheshire, it is said that ash could be used to cure warts or rickets.

Dice Rolling
From The World of Layonara
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Upon arriving in Layonara for the first time, each Player Character will have in their inventory a PC Dicebag. With it, players can roll a d4, a d6, a d8, a d10, a d12, and a d20, where "d" stands for die and the numeral stands for the number of sides. I.E. a d6 is a six-sided die. Also, it allows players to roll multiples of each die type. Players can also use it to roll saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks, and it will automatically use the PC's modifiers. It does not, however, handle attack rolls.
There are three settings on the dicebag:
 - Private: Only the user and GM's can see the result.
 - Local: Anyone within range to hear normal speech will see the result.
 - Global: Everyone on the server will see the result. This setting is never to be used unless directed by a GM.
The dicebag is for RP purposes only and hence has its primary use during GM quests and events. Of course, it is certainly not limited to such use, and can be effectively used to handle numerous character initiated role-play instances. The use of the dicebag is highly encouraged and PC's should find it a handy tool.
There are other methods of rolling dice should you not desire to use the dicebag. Dice can be rolled by bracketing the check you want by asterisks. Typing "*fortitude save*" in whisper, talk or party chat will trigger a fortitude check. However, rolls can also be done through the self tell command. Typing =c will produce the desired result. I.E. =c will save will produce the same effect as if you had toggled the PC dicebag to roll a will save. For quicker typing, ability checks and saves are abbreviated as follows:
Using the self-tell, =c also allows you to roll dice bigger than a d20, such as d100's by entering =c roll d100. You can even roll skill checks this way, just as you would an ability check.
To toggle dice rolls to silent, use the command =c toggle check_silent;. If your dice rolls are already on silent mode, this same command can be used to reverse it so other players can see the results of your rolls once more.


Curious Kids: how do magpies detect worms and other food underground?
Magpies have a few clever tricks to help them find food.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Gisela Kaplan, University of New England
How do magpies detect worms and other food sources underground? I often see them look or listen, then rapidly hop across the ground and start digging with their beak and extract a worm or bug from the earth – Catherine, age 10, Perth.
You have posed a very good question.
Foraging for food can involve sight, hearing and even smell. In almost all cases learning is involved. Magpies are ground foragers, setting one foot before the other looking for food while walking, called walk-foraging. It looks like this:
This is called walk-foraging.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Finding food on the ground, such as beetles and other insects, is not as easy as it may sound. The ground can be uneven and covered with leaves, grasses and rocks. Insects may be hiding, camouflaged, or staying so still it is hard for a magpie to notice them.

Curious Kids: why is a magpie's poo black and white?
Detecting a small object on the ground requires keen vision and experience, to discriminate between the parts that are important and those that are not.
Magpie eyes, as for most birds, are on the side of the head (humans and other birds of prey, by contrast, have eyes that face forward).
A magpie's eyes are at the side of its head and it can only see something with both eyes if that is straight in front of the bird.
Shutterstock/Webb Photography
To see a small area in front of them, close to the ground, birds use both eyes together (scientists call this binocular vision). But birds mostly see via the eyes looking out to the side (which is called monocular vision).
This picture gives you an idea of what a magpie can see with its left eye, what it can see with its right eye and what area it can see with both eyes working together (binocular vision).
Here's how a magpie's field of vision works.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
You asked about underground foraging. Some of that foraging can also be done by sight. Worms, for instance, may leave a small mound (called a cast) on the surface and, to the experienced bird, this indicates that a worm is just below.
Magpies can also go a huge step further. They can identify big scarab larvae underground without any visual help at all.
Here is a scarab larva.
Gisela Kaplan, Author provided
Scarab larvae look like grubs. They munch on grassroots and can kill entire grazing fields. Once they transform into beetles (commonly called Christmas beetles) they can do even more damage by eating all the leaves off eucalyptus trees.
Here is the secret: magpies have such good hearing, they can hear the very faint sound of grass roots being chewed.
We know this from experiments using small speakers under the soil playing back recorded sounds of scarab beetle larvae. Magpies located the speaker every time and dug it up.

So how do they do it? Several movements are involved.
To make certain that a jab with its beak will hit the exact spot where the juicy grub is, the magpie first walks slowly and scans the ground. It then stops and looks closely at the ground – seemingly with both eyes working together.
Then, holding absolutely still, the magpie turns its head so the left side of the head and ear is close to the ground for a final confirming listen.
Finally, the bird straightens up, then executes a powerful jab into the ground before retrieving the grub.

That is very clever of the magpies. Very few animals can extract food they can't see. Only great apes and humans were thought to have this ability. Clever magpies indeed. And farmers love them for keeping a major pest under control.

Cable ties probably won't stop magpie attacks – here are a few things to try instead
Stylish? No. Effective? Probably not.

Every spring in Australia is heralded by reports of magpies swooping at people. While it is of little comfort to those at the receiving end of a surprise attack, such events are actually quite rare when one considers the number of magpies across Australia, and the fact that they love to share our urban habitat with us.
According to one estimate, fewer than 10% of magpies swoop, and even fewer of these do so consistently. It is almost always males that swoop, and they only do so when they have chicks in the nest. Once the chicks are out the males seem to calm down; presumably they perceive nest-bound chicks as most vulnerable.
Swooping behaviour also seems to vary across Australia – at least according to Magpie Alert!, a website on which the public can report magpie attacks. Many more swoops have been reported in the eastern states than in Western Australia, and fewest of all in Tasmania.

Bird-brained and brilliant: Australia's avians are smarter than you think
But regardless of their relative rarity, being the target of a swooping attack by a magpie can be frightening. It has resulted in injuries and, tragically this week, the death of a 76-year-old cyclist in Wollongong.
What can we do to avoid ending up on the receiving end? Is any of the advice meted out each year on avoiding attacks actually worthwhile, or backed by evidence? As with just about everything involving biology, the answer is "it depends".
Some magpies never attack pedestrians but go for cyclists; others do the opposite. And some hold a deep animus against posties on bikes, and reserve their fury solely for them. Even more astonishingly, some magpies seem to really have it in for particular people, and will preferentially attack them.
Although Australian magpies are not related to true crows, they do share similar levels of intelligence. US researchers have shown that American crows recognise people who have trapped them to band them, give alarm calls when they next see them, and even pass on that information to untrapped birds who also sound the alarm when they see trappers.
It seems likely that Australian magpies do the same, effectively holding a grudge against particular people. Unfortunate posties, travelling the same route each day and meeting the same magpies, seem to end up on the naughty list through no fault of their own.
Cyclists do seem to invoke more extreme reactions than pedestrians, judging by the fact that magpies appear to pursue cyclists farther. It therefore stands to reason that the best response to a swooping attack while cycling would be to get off and push your bike.
You will of course be wearing a bike helmet, and as magpies swoop from behind, this will offer protection against its sharp beak.
Sadly it seems that the classic tactic of attaching cable ties to your helmet does little to deter a determined magpie, beyond the fact that some strategic placing can help keep them away from your ears. Ditto the idea of painting eyes on the back of your helmet or hat.
More reassuringly, however, magpies really only swoop in the vicinity of their nest, so once you have moved away you should be safe. If you become aware of swooping attacks in a certain area the best thing is to avoid it – even just crossing the road should be sufficient.
If you can't do that, at least wear a hat and sunglasses; these will help reduce the chance of a determined magpie pecking a sensitive area. Turning to face magpies may also help – many birds do not appreciate being stared at, and as magpies prefer to swoop from behind, this may be a good tactic if you find yourself cornered in a park.
If you have magpies in your garden, perhaps the most appealing way of avoiding attacks is to become their best friend. Given that magpies have long memories, a few judicious offerings of mince or similar tidbits throughout the year can help you befriend them, making them much more amenable to your presence come spring.
But don't overfeed them – it's just a friendly bribe, not a full-blown dependency.
Read more:
Magpies can form friendships with people – here's how
If all else fails, simply console yourself with the fact that swooping season only lasts a few weeks. For the rest of the year magpies are peaceful urban nighbours who delight us with their distinctive song.
Bear that in mind, and we can hopefully reach a détente with our feathered (and occasionally flustered) friends. In the meantime, if you are unlucky enough to be swooped, remember to help others avoid the same fate by posting the details to Magpie Alert!.The Conversation

Effects of nonstationarity on muscle force signals regularity during a fatiguing motor task
Abstract
Physiological signals present fluctuations that can be assessed from their temporal structure, also termed complexity. The complexity of a physiological signal is usually quantified using entropy estimators, such as Sample Entropy. Recent studies have shown a loss of force signal complexity with the development of neuromuscular fatigue. However, these studies did not consider the stationarity of the force signals which is an important prerequisite of Sample Entropy measurements. Here, we investigated the effect of the potential nonstationarity of force signals on the kinetics of neuromuscular fatigue-induced change in force signal's complexity. Eleven men performed submaximal intermittent isometric contractions of knee extensors until exhaustion. Neuromuscular fatigue was assessed from changes in voluntary and electrically evoked contractions. Sample Entropy values were computed from submaximal force signals throughout the fatiguing task. The Dickey-Fuller test was used to statistically investigate the stationarity of force signals and the Empirical Mode Decomposition was applied to detrend these signals. Maximal voluntary force, central voluntary activation and muscle twitch decreased throughout the task (all p < 0.05), indicating the development of global, central and peripheral fatigue, respectively. We found an increase in Sample Entropy with fatigue (p = 0.024) when not considering the nonstationarity of force signals (i.e. 43% of the signals). After applying the Empirical Mode Decomposition, we found a decrease in Sample Entropy with fatigue (p = 0.002). These findings confirm the presence of nonstationarity in force signals during submaximal isometric contractions which influences the kinetics of change in Sample Entropy with neuromuscular fatigue.

The monitoring and prudent management of liabilities is an important element of comprehensive national financing strategies and is critical to reducing vulnerabilities. We welcome the efforts of IMF, the World Bank and the United Nations system to further strengthen the analytical tools for assessing debt sustainability and prudent public debt management. In this regard, the IMF-World Bank debt sustainability analysis is a useful tool to inform the level of appropriate borrowing. We invite IMF and the World Bank to continue strengthening their analytical tools for sovereign debt management in an open and inclusive process with the United Nations and other stakeholders. We encourage international institutions to continue to provide assistance to debtor countries to enhance debt management capacity, manage risks and analyse trade-offs between different sources of financing, as well as to help to cushion against external shocks and ensure steady and stable access to public financing.

Juha Vierinen's project GCS, GNU Chirp Sound
"The GNU Chirp Sounder is a software defined radio based receiver for monitoring ionospheric sounders (ionosondes) and over-the-horizon radars that use linear frequency sweep FM-CW transmissions. The software is based on gnuradio and relies on Ettus research USRP2 and USRP N210 based digital receivers. The receiver can be used to receive the whole HF band (typically at 25 MHz bandwidth) simultaneously, and to receive multiple sounders simultaneously. The current receiver can be used to perform single or dual polarization (channel) soundings. The dual channel recorded can be used to determine the polarization form vertical soundings, or for angle of arrival measurements. Multiple independent receivers could also be used for imaging purposes."

The effect of wind speed fluctuations on the performance of a wind-powered membrane system for brackish water desalination
Park, Gavin L.
Richards, Bryce S.
MetadataShow full item record
A wind-powered reverse osmosis membrane (wind-membrane) system without energy storage was tested using synthetic brackish water (2750 and 5500 mg/L NaCl) over a range of simulated wind speeds under both steady-state and fluctuating conditions. The parameters varied were: i) average wind speed from 3.7 (system start-up) to 8.7 m/s; ii) wind turbulence intensity from 0.0 (steady-state conditions) to 0.6 (extreme fluctuations); and iii) period of oscillation from 15 to 90 s. With a feed water of 2750 mg/L NaCl, the wind-membrane system produced good-quality permeate (<600 mg/L) over the full range of wind speeds and fluctuations. The system performance (in terms of permeate flux and NaCl concentration) at average wind speeds of 7.0 m/s or more was unaffected by fluctuations up to a turbulence intensity of 0.4 and was independent of the period of fluctuation within this operating range. With a feed water of 5500 mg/L NaCl an average wind speed of 7.0 m/s or more was required to produce adequate-quality permeate (<1000 mg/L) under fluctuating conditions. It is concluded that this wind-membrane system can be operated within a safe operating window with large power fluctuations, but further control strategies are required to deal with intermittent operation, especially with higher salinity feed waters.


What is an.xcodeproj file?
Xcode tracks "projects" with a file called SomeProject.xcodeproj.
Actually, like workspaces, it's not a file at all - it's a directory.
The important file in it is project.pbxproj ("Project Builder XCode Project").
The rough syntax looks like:
//!$*UTF8*$!
 foo = {
 isa = blah;
 jtzht = (
 qux /* jyrjhetz */,
 barf /* grhtz */,
 bam = 0;
 bar = blah /* some comment */;
So you have:
It's roughly JSON in its expressiveness.
The first is special and mandatory: it indicates the encoding of the rest of the file.
A project.pbxproj file is pretty big; it contains boatloads of settings about your project. It mainly says:
The overall schema is pretty simple:
//!$*UTF8*$!
 archiveVersion = 1;
 classes = {
 objectVersion = 46;
 objects = {
 FD9C41C61DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41D31DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 rootObject = FD9C41C61DDE16AB001EC7D1;
The objects dictionary is the important bit. It defines a GRAPH. The keys of the dictionary are the vertices, and each object definition can reference other objects. Xcode creates odd IDs for objects, e.g. FD9C41C61DDE16AB001EC7D1.
A distinguished object is the rootObject. This defines the project.
There are a few different kinds of "object". Each is a dictionary with an isa property. There are many types: PBXBuildFile, PBXFileReference, PBXFrameworksBuildPhase, PBXGroup, PBXNativeTarget, PBXProject, PBXHeadersBuildPhase, PBXResourcesBuildPhase, PBXSourcesBuildPhase, PBXVariantGroup, XCBuildConfiguration, XCConfigurationList, PBXContainerItemProxy, XCConfigurationList, PBXTargetDependency.
The object dictionary is grouped by this type, with each section delimited by a comment, e.g.:
objects = {
/* Begin PBXBuildFile section */
 FD9C41D41DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41DD1DDE1FD0001EC7D1 =...;
/* End PBXBuildFile section */
/* Begin PBXFileReference section */
 FD9C41CF1DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41D21DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41D31DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41DC1DDE1FD0001EC7D1 =...;
/* End PBXFileReference section */
/* Begin XCConfigurationList section */
 FD9C41C91DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;
 FD9C41D71DDE16AB001EC7D1 =...;

A Portrait as a Goddess
Look closely at the woman in this image. Did you notice that she is wearing a leopard skin and holding a bow and arrow? Do you think she normally dressed this way?
This woman lived about 250 years ago and she chose to have her portrait painted with these objects because she wanted to look like the Roman goddess Diana.
Imagine you saw someone dressed in a blue outfit with a big letter "S" on his chest and a red cape. You would probably know that the person wanted to look like Superman because those features are symbols for the superhero.
In a similar way, holding a bow and wearing an animal skin tells people that this woman is dressed like Diana, because these objects were her symbols, or attributes.
Diana was the goddess of the moon, the forest, and hunters. And like all goddesses, she was incredibly powerful and immortal (meaning she would never die). The woman in the painting hoped that people seeing her portrait would think she had the strength and courage of the goddess.
The artist, Jean-Marc Nattier, was famous for portraying people as different characters. In France in the 1700s it was popular for wealthy people to have him paint their portraits. What type of costume would you wear if you were having your portrait painted by Nattier?

Cameron et al., 2006: Reflecting about friendships between refugees and ingroup members improved sense of connection and positive attitudes towards refugees among White English children
White 5-11 year-old children in England were read three stories over two sessions, which represented close friendships between ingroup members and refugees. The stories emphasized the individual characteristics of refugees (decategorization intervention), the common ingroup identity of refugees as a member of the school community (common ingroup identity intervention) or both the common ingroup identity and the unique subgroup identity of refugees (dual identity intervention). One to two weeks later, children in all three intervention conditions, as compared to a no-treatment control condition, reported a greater sense of connection to refugees and more positive attitudes toward refugees, with the dual identity intervention the most effective. However, there was no effect on children's interest in interacting with refugees.

Docolorization of Methylene Blue was investigating using a Ultrasonic/Fenton like reactor in batch mode. The effects of pH, reaction time, initial concentration of dye, H2O2 and Fe on the dye removal was studied. It was found that the increase of initial dye and H2O2 concentration and the increase of initial pH, are not beneficial for improving the dye removal efficiency. Increasing the dye concentrations from 50 to 400 mg/L resulted in decreasing the rate of decolorization from 0.255 to 0.063 min-1, respectively. Complete removal (100%) was observed, when pH, reaction time, initial concentration of dye, H2O2, Fe and ultrasound density were found to be 3, 30 min, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 40 kHz, respectively. The results showed that H2O2/Fe° equal 8 is more effective for dye removal.

How motivations and satisfaction influence wine tourists' loyalty? An analysis of the Italian case
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this paper is to assess the "motivation-satisfaction-loyalty" framework. Through a structural equation model (SEM), it is possible to disentangle attitudinal and behavioral loyalty as a multifaceted latent variable. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical analysis is based on data collected in wineries located in two important wine destinations: Trentino and South Tyrol (Italy). Notably, the motivation–satisfaction relationship is confirmed, and the SEM has also assessed the importance of winery services in affecting loyalty, expressed in terms of "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" and "recommend wine routes." Findings: Destination managers should consider the wine-related "relaxation" as the main push motivation, while the interactions experience are important pull motivations to drive wine tourists' satisfaction. Nevertheless, the findings reveal that more proactive policies are needed to enhance local wines loyalty. Originality/value: The novelty of this study is to explore loyalty. In this respect, a multifaceted latent variable is expressed as follows: "buy local wines," "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" as behavioral attitudinal stated loyalty and "recommend wine routes" as attitudinal stated loyalty.

I want to print a row in Excel. One row contains data for one project.
I want to print one row on one page nicely formatted. Meaning the value of one cell is the header and should be printed fat and centred, the other values should also be placed at fixed positions on the page.
Is this with VBA possible? When I was searching for this problem I only found results for printing a worksheet or a table or parts of it, but no results to use the values of the cells and formatting them.
Thanks in advance
share|improve this question
If you only need to print some value to a cell and give the cell some formatting, you can simply record a Macro, do it manually, then use the recorded VBA code. – KMC May 11 '12 at 10:08
does it have to be in VBA? you can create a sheet as a template for printing with formulas like =INDIRECT("sheet1!A"&row_number), create a named range called "row_number" and enter here the row number you want to print... – deathApril May 11 '12 at 10:17

As the other answers indicate, it is certainly possible in Excel VBA, but it is not really Excel's strong point.
What would typically be done to obtain the result you seem to be after is use a fully formatted Word document with fields that are then filled in with values from an Excel worksheet. You can even cheat a bit and use the Mail Merge \ Letter wizard to set everything up.
If you do want to do it all in Excel, you can find instructions and an example VBA macro here: _URL_

Template is a good way to do. With a macro there's better performance where it avoids the usage of volatile functions such as INDIRECT() However again it depends on how many volatile functions your worksheet carries.

Yes, it is possible when you use the Styles in excel. I know you can do Font formatting quite easily. Not sure about indenting it, but worth a try.
If style doesnt support it (it might in Excel 2010), you can always indent it via VBA (record a macro when you indent the values, it should look like this):
Selection.InsertIndent 1

The banker horse is a breed of feral horse that can be found in the Outer Banks area of North Carolina. This breed is a descendant of the Spanish horse and the foundation stock is thought to have been brought to the America's during the 16th century. It is thought that these horses may have become feral after surviving shipwrecks or after being abandoned during exploration or settlement expeditions. Although these horses roam free, they are not true wild horses because they are descended from domestic horses.
The banker horse is relatively small in stature, reaching a height between 13 to 14.3 hands and a weight between 800 to 1,000 pounds. It comes in a variety of colors including bay, brown, chestnut, and dun. Individuals of this breed have broad foreheads and oval shaped cannon bones, which is indicative of strength. It is known for its docile and friendly temperament and is easy to maintain. Bankers can be adopted and used as mounts for children and pleasure riding.
The population of banker horses, which has been assessed to be about four hundred, resides on a few islands in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where vegetation and water sources are limited. This is thought to be a factor in the small stature of the breed, although domestic bankers that feed on manufactured horse food tend to be only slightly larger. Because water is not often available, it depends upon its food to retain much of its moisture. It has been seen digging holes in order to hold rain water and reach water under the ground, which are its other main sources of water intake, but in hard times it will resort to drinking sea water.
The National Park Service, which helps manage the banker horse population, has expressed concern about the breed's impact on the health of the islands in inhabits. Studies have shown that it does not damage native plant life by consuming it but rather by trampling certain species and the greatest harm to other animal species comes from their presence near the nesting sites of sea turtles and birds.
Despite the fact that the banker horse is not native to the islands, it is allowed to remain and is managed by several organizations. The herd on Ocracoke Island is managed by confinement in an area that contains 180 acres, which protects them from major roadways and protects the rest of the island from over grazing. The herd on Shackleford is jointly managed by the National Park Service and by various other organizations, like the Foundation for Shackleford Horses. On this island, the population is managed by careful adoptions and by administering a contraceptive vaccine. Management on this island also consists of testing for the deadly disease equine infectious anemia and moving horses into separate herds on different islands.
The herd on Currituck Banks was once endangered by its close proximity to humans, but it has now been placed in a protected area of 1,800 acres. This herd is managed by the adoptions of fillies, yearlings, and geldings. The population residing in the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve in the Rachel Carson area may have been brought there by people using the area for their livestock or they may have traveled there from neighboring islands. These horses are managed by the state, who prevent over population using a birth control program.

Pain is extremely complex.
A great number of factors will influence severity of pain. For example, a wounded soldier in battle may be seriously injured, but will carry on fighting and will notice the severity of the pain after the danger has passed.
Have you ever noticed how pain becomes more intense the more you think about it? Why is it that when you were little, and your mum would rub a painful area, it felt better? One way to understand this is the 'Gate Control Theory of Pain'.
Factors that open the gate
There are three main ways in which the gates to pain can be made more open, so that the pain feels worse. These are to do with how we feel about things, how we think about things, and what we are doing.
1. Stress and Tension
All sorts of emotional states can lead to the gates to pain being more open. These include being anxious, worried, angry, and depressed. Having a lot of tension in the body is a common way of opening the pain gates.
2. Mental Factors
One of the most effective ways of opening the gates and increasing your pain is to focus all your attention on it. Boredom can also lead to the pain gates opening.
3. Lack of Activity
Another factor that opens the gates to pain is lack of activity, fitness and immobility of joints.
Factors that close the gate
In the same way as above, the way we feel, the way we think and what we do can all have a part to play in helping to close the gates to pain.
1. Relaxation and Contentment
Feeling generally happy and optimistic has been found to help to close the gates to pain. Also, feeling relaxed in yourself seems to be a particularly useful way of closing the gates.
2. Mental Factors
Being involved and taking an interest in life helps to close the gates. Also if you concentrate intensely on something other than the pain (e.g. work, books, activities, being with friends), then this can distract you from pain, helping to close the gates.
Taking the right amount of exercise, so that you develop your fitness, can help to close the gates.
4. Other Physical Factors
Manual therapies including Chiropractic, Sports Massage and Acupuncture work to improve symptoms over time by improving function, but also help as types of counter-stimulation to pain. Others that can be done at home include ice, heat, massage balls etc. 'Rubbing it better' works as by touching the area you are stimulating 'touch' receptors as opposed to the pain receptors. Touch and pain have different neurological pathways and so touch can help to override the pain pathway.

Controlled Burns In Ann Arbor's Natural Areas
Tuesday February 26, 2013: 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm -- Malletts Creek Branch: Program Room AB
Prescribed or controlled burning is a technique sometimes used in forest management, farming, or prairie restoration. Fire is a natural part of both forest and grassland ecology and controlled fire can be a tool for foresters. Controlled burning also stimulates the germination of some desirable forest trees, thus renewing the forest.
Natural Area Preservation staff will discuss what controlled burns are and why they are used in Ann Arbor's natural areas. This presentation is recommended for anyone interested in helping with burns, as well as anyone simply interested in learning more about why and how they are conducted.

text: The concept of 'animacy' concerns the fundamental and cognitive question of the extent to which we recognize and express living things as saliently human-like or animal-like. In Animacy and Reference Mutsumi Yamamoto pursues two main objectives: First, to establish a conceptual framework of animacy, and secondly, to explain how the concept of animacy can be reflected in the use of referential expressions. Unlike previous studies on the subject focussing on grammatical manifestations, Animacy and Reference sheds light upon the conceptual properties of animacy itself and its reflection in referential processes. For the research of this study the author focussed on languages that show completely different tendencies. As a result, English and Japanese 'parallel corpora' are analysed yielding salient observations and opening intriguing discussions.

text: This paper introduces a novel wrapper-based outlier detection framework (WrapperOD) and its instance (HOUR) for identifying outliers in noisy data (i.e., data with noisy features) with strong couplings between outlying behaviors. Existing subspace or feature selection-based methods are significantly challenged by such data, as their search of feature subset(s) is independent of outlier scoring and thus can be misled by noisy features. In contrast, HOUR takes a wrapper approach to iteratively optimize the feature subset selection and outlier scoring using a top-κ outlier ranking evaluation measure as its objective function. HOUR learns homophily couplings between outlying behaviors (i.e., abnormal behaviors are not independent - they bond together) in constructing a noise-resilient outlier scoring function to produce a reliable outlier ranking in each iteration. We show that HOUR (i) retains a 2-approximation outlier ranking to the optimal one; and (ii) significantly outperforms five stateof-the-art competitors on 15 real-world data sets with different noise levels in terms of AUC and/or P@n. The source code of HOUR is available at _URL_
