Abstract
Lenteng is a food made from flaked cassava batter and then fried. In terms of the shape of the lent has similarities with cassava opak. The application of technology in the production process is still minimal and the limited capital to buy equipment makes the development of UMKM business owned by Mrs. Sudiyati still tend to stagnant. The main problem in the production of Lenteng is the time of drying of the Lenteng which reaches 2 days with traditional drying. The purpose of this research is to make Lenteng dryers that do not use electricity as energy source and design an effective and efficient tool so that it can speed up the drying process to increase the production amount. The output target of this research is the Electric less Dry using Sunlight Collector Technology and being innovative in helping to accelerate the drying process of the Lenteng. The method used in this research is literature study, survey, design or drawing design, dryer manufacture, field testing and analysis, tool evaluation, and preparation of final report of PKM activities. From the data of dry material test results can be seen that the weight of the product before and after dried in APTL has a difference of 4-11 grams so the result is drier, whereas from the temperature test results data can be seen that the temperature in APTL higher 7-19,1oC which can affect the drying process significantly. Based on these calculations APTL (Dryer Without Electricity can increase production of 4.67 kg of Lenteng from initial production and drying process with increasing temperature up to 69.9 ° C and 10% humidity can dry the lent in 2-3 hours or 4,67- 7X faster than traditional drying, and using APTL can save the drying place, which required 12 rigs to dry 20 kg of lent, with this Dryer only requires 5 dryers with a capacity of 3.752 kg per drying whereas Rigen (traditional) only loading 1, 675 kg per drying

it's not set then default to 0, which is what the || 0 does. At that point, you can assume the previous sum is at least 0 or greater and add the current key's value onto it.
Alternatives to Map
If you find Map is a bit heavy-handed, you may also use a similar object such as Set, which has many of the same methods (except the get()), or you could also use a primitive object (i.e. {}).

Here is a lodash approach
_(data).flatMap(_.entries).groupBy(0).mapValues(v=>_.sumBy(v, 1)).value()
It will sum by all the unique keys.
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},{costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}];
var res = _(data).flatMap(_.entries).groupBy(0).mapValues(v=>_.sumBy(v, 0)).value();
console.log(res);
<script src="_URL_
Wrap your result to a [...] or use a .castArray() at the end before unwrapping using .value() in case you want a array as result.

+50
You could reduce the array by taking an object for summing.
var data = [{ costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200 }, { costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000 }],
 keys = ['costOfAirtickets', 'costOfHotel'],
 sum = data.reduce((r, o) => {
 keys.forEach(k => r[k] += o[k]);
 return r;
 }, Object.assign(...keys.map(k => ({ [k]: 0 }))));
console.log(sum);

You can use a simple forEach() loop for that:
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},{costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}];
var res = [];
var tempObj = {};
data.forEach(({costOfAirtickets, costOfHotel}) => {
 tempObj['costOfAirtickets'] = (tempObj['costOfAirtickets'] || 0) + costOfAirtickets;
 tempObj['costOfHotel'] = (tempObj['costOfHotel'] || 0) + costOfHotel;
 });
res.push(tempObj);
console.log(res);

Try using reduce only as in the below snippet. Try avoiding multiple iterations. Hope the below snippet helps!
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},{costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}]
var total = data.reduce(function (result,value,key) {
result['costOfAirtickets'] = result['costOfAirtickets'] + value['costOfAirtickets'];
result['costOfHotel'] = result['costOfHotel'] + value['costOfHotel'];
return result},{costOfAirtickets:0,costOfHotel:0});
console.log(total)

map the object and calculate the sum and store it in another.
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},{costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}];
var result = [];
var sum = 0;
var costsum = 0;
data.map(function(item, key){
 var cost = item;
 //nsole.log(cost);
 sum = sum + cost.costOfAirtickets;
 costsum = costsum + cost.costOfHotel;
});
result = [{costOfAirtickets:sum, costOfHotel:costsum}];
console.log(result);

This is the easiest approach I could think off
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},{costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}];
var sum ={};
for(var obj in data){
 for(var ele in data[obj]){
 if(!data[obj].hasOwnProperty(ele)) continue;
 if(sum[ele] === undefined){
 sum[ele] = data[obj][ele];
 }else{
 sum[ele] = sum[ele] + data[obj][ele];
 }
 }
}
var arr = [sum];
console.log(arr);

My simplistic answer would be like;
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200},
 {costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}],
 res = data.reduce((p,c) => Object.entries(c).reduce((r,[k,v]) => (r[k]+=v, r), p));
console.log(res);
A note on usage of .reduce(): If the array items and the accumulated value is of same type you may consider not using an initial value as an accumulator and do your reducing with previous (p) and current (c) elements. The outer reduce in the above snippet is of this type. However the inner reduce takes an array of key (k) value (v) pair as [k,v] to return an object, hence an initial value (p) is essential.
The result is the accumulated value as an object. If you need it in an array then just put it in an array like [res].
1
Lodash
Using lodash reduce and _.mergeWith this is a one liner:
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200}, {costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}]
var result = _.reduce(data, (r,c) => _.mergeWith(r, c, (o = 0, s) => o + s), {})
console.log(result)
<script src="_URL_
ES6 Only
If you do NOT want to mutate the original array you can utilize ES6 reduce, Object.entries, and forEach like this:
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200}, {costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}]
// One liner
var result1 = data.reduce((r, c) =>
 !Object.entries(c).forEach(([key, value]) => r[key] = (r[key] || 0) + value) && r, {})
// More readable
var result2 = data.reduce((r, c) => {
 Object.entries(c).forEach(([key, value]) => r[key] = (r[key] || 0) + value)
 return r
}, {})
console.log(result1)
console.log(result2)
If we do not care about mutating the initial data array then we can have a one liner solution:
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200}, {costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOfHotel: 1000}]
data.reduce((r, c) => !Object.entries(c).forEach(([key,value]) => r[key] += value) && r)
console.log(data[0])
More readable:
var data = [{costOfAirtickets: 2500, costOfHotel: 1200}, {costOfAirtickets: 1500, costOf

Viewing 19th Century Courts Category (2) found:
The author of this paper was Loren Warren Collins, who served as associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court from 1887 to 1904. He died before he could finish it. It was to be a longer, written version of a speech he gave in 1911 to the Hennepin County Bar Association on the history of the bench and bar in Minnesota. His son, Louis L. Collins, gave a draft of the paper containing his father's handwritten additions and corrections to the Minnesota Historical Society on January 9, 1913.
This article is an important resource because it lists the names and years of service of all men who served on the supreme court from statehood to the early twentieth century, the clerks and reporters of the supreme court, and the judges of the nineteen judicial districts. It appeared as a chapter in a multi-volume history of Minnesota which was edited by Lucius F. Hubbard and Rerturn I. Holcombe, and published in 1908.

This thesis examines Western rationality, contextualizing that subject in British colonialism and Western modernity. Using Scott Lash's description of academic characterizations of modernity, I explore the "high" modernity of the social sciences represented in the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. I then explore the cultural studies critique of that characterization of modernity in the book Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe. Using the theory of Jean Francois Lyotard, Martin Heidegger, and Theodor Adorno, I look at Western rationality through its manifestation in British colonialism. I argue that colonialism is a site where rationality's negative legacy is manifest, and that the paradoxical representations of rationality in the books by Carroll and Doyle indicate a problem with the assumption that Western rationality was a universal epistemology. Contrary to the British's own ideas of their rationality, I find that Western rationality is ultimately a culturally-grounded discourse. Using Chinua Achebe's Arrow of God, I examine the intersection between Western rationality and other forms of cultural knowledge, an intersection that occurred through British colonialism. Achebe argues against the universal model of Western rationality and posits instead a relative valuing of each culture's methods of arriving at truth. I use his novel to illustrate the limits of Western rationality and its claim to universality.

text: We used microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) to carbonize an electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor to form carbon fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the fibers at different evolution stages. It was found that MPECVD-carbonized PAN fibers do not exhibit any significant change in the fiber diameter, whilst conventionally carbonized PAN fibers show a 33% reduction in the fiber diameter. An additional coating of carbon nanowalls (CNWs) was formed on the surface of the carbonized PAN fibers during the MPECVD process without the assistance of any metallic catalysts. The result presented here may have a potential to develop a novel, economical, and straightforward approach towards the mass production of carbon fibrous materials containing CNWs.

Cut a recipe into strips to make a strip-story task and ask the students to collectively order the steps/instructions. Give each student one step/instruction to read and then memorise. Once they have memorised the steps/instructions, collect the strips and get them to work together to sort out the correct order. To make the task easier, let the students keep the written instructions while they are putting them in order.
A strip story for making a cup of drinking chocolate is on resource sheet 3.5.
Extension. A more difficult variation is to cut each strip in half so that each student starts with just half a strip. The students have to join the halves together before they can reconstruct the whole recipe.
A variation for younger or less confident students is to include picture clues that illustrate the words (with written instructions on separate strips from the matching pictures). Their task is to negotiate with their peers, match the words to the pictures, and reconstruct the recipe.
You can turn dialogues about food into strip stories, for example, a mealtime conversation.

Zipkin
Since Camel 2.18
The Camel Zipkin component is used for tracing and timing incoming and outgoing Camel messages using zipkin.
Events (span) are captured for incoming and outgoing messages being sent to/from Camel.
This means you need to configure which Camel endpoints map to zipkin service names.
The mapping can be configured using:
 - route id - A Camel route id
 - endpoint url - A Camel endpoint url
For both kinds you can match using wildcards and regular expressions, using the rules from Intercept.
To match all Camel messages you can use * in the pattern and configure that to the same service name.
If no mapping has been configured, Camel will fallback and use endpoint uri's as service names. However, it's recommended to configure service mappings so you can use human-readable names instead of Camel endpoint uris in the names.
Camel will auto-configure a span reporter one hasn't been explicitly configured, and if the hostname and port to a zipkin collector has been configured as environment variables
 - ZIPKIN_COLLECTOR_HTTP_SERVICE_HOST - The http hostname
 - ZIPKIN_COLLECTOR_HTTP_SERVICE_PORT - The port number
or
 - ZIPKIN_COLLECTOR_THRIFT_SERVICE_HOST - The Scribe (Thrift RPC) hostname
 - ZIPKIN_COLLECTOR_THRIFT_SERVICE_PORT - The port number
This makes it easy to use camel-zipkin in container platforms where the platform can run your application in a linux container where service configurations are provided as environment variables.
Options
Option Default Description
rate
1.0f
Configures a rate that decides how many events should be traced by zipkin. The rate is expressed as a percentage (1.0f = 100%, 0.5f is 50%, 0.1f is 10%).
spanReporter
Mandatory: The reporter to use for sending zipkin span events to the zipkin server.
serviceName
To use a global service name that matches all Camel events
clientServiceMappings
Sets the client service mappings that matches Camel events to the given zipkin service name. The content is a Map<String, String> where the key is a pattern and the value is the service name. The pattern uses the rules from Intercept.
serverServiceMappings
Sets the server service mappings that matches Camel events to the given zipkin service name. The content is a Map<String, String> where the key is a pattern and the value is the service name. The pattern uses the rules from Intercept.
excludePatterns
Sets exclude pattern(s) that will disable tracing with zipkin for Camel messages that matches the pattern. The content is a Set<String> where the key is a pattern. The pattern uses the rules from Intercept.
includeMessageBody
false
Whether to include the Camel message body in the zipkin traces. This is not recommended for production usage, or when having big payloads. You can limit the size by configuring the max debug log size.
includeMessageBodyStreams
false
Whether to include message bodies that are stream based in the zipkin traces. This requires enabling streamcaching on the routes or globally on the CamelContext. This is not recommended for production usage, or when having big payloads. You can limit the size by configuring the max debug log size.
Example
To enable camel-zipkin you need to configure first
ZipkinTracer zipkin = new ZipkinTracer();
// Configure a reporter, which controls how often spans are sent
// (the dependency is io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-sender-okhttp3)
sender = OkHttpSender.create("http://127.0.0.1:9411/api/v2/spans");
zipkin.setSpanReporter(AsyncReporter.create(sender));
// and then add zipkin to the CamelContext
zipkin.init(camelContext);
The configuration above will trace all incoming and outgoing messages in Camel routes.
To use ZipkinTracer in XML, all you need to do is to define scribe and zipkin tracer beans. Camel will automatically discover and use them.
 <!-- configure how to reporter spans to a Zipkin collector
 (the dependency is io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter-spring-beans) -->
 <bean id="http" class="zipkin2.reporter.beans.AsyncReporterFactoryBean">
 <property name="sender">
 <bean id="sender" class="zipkin2.reporter.beans.OkHttpSenderFactoryBean">
 <property name="endpoint" value="http://localhost:9411/api/v2/spans"/>
 </bean>
 </property>
 <!-- wait up to half a second for any in-flight spans on close -->
 <property name="closeTimeout" value="500"/>
 </bean>
 <!-- setup zipkin tracer -->
 <bean id="zipkinTracer" class="org.apache.camel.zipkin.ZipkinTracer">
 <property name="serviceName" value="dude"/>
 <property name="spanReporter" ref="http"/>
 </bean>
ServiceName
However, if you want to map Camel endpoints to human friendly logical names, you can add mappings
 - ServiceName *
You can configure a global service name that all events will fallback and use, such as:
zipkin.setServiceName("invoices");
This will use the same service name for all incoming and outgoing zipkin traces. If your application uses different services, you should map them to more finely grained client / server service mappings
Client and Server Service Mappings
 - ClientServiceMappings
 - ServerServiceMappings
If your application hosts a service that others can call, you can map the Camel route endpoint to a server service mapping. For example, suppose your Camel application has the following route:
from("activemq:queue:inbox")
 .to("http:someserver/somepath");
And you want to make that as a server service, you can add the following mapping:
zipkin.addServerServiceMapping("activemq:queue:inbox", "orders");
Then when a message is consumed from that inbox queue, it becomes a zipkin server event with the service name 'orders'.
Now suppose that the call to http:someserver/somepath is also a service, which you want to map to a client service name, which can be done as:
zipkin.addClientServiceMapping("http:someserver/somepath", "audit");
Then in the same Camel application you have mapped incoming and outgoing endpoints to different zipkin service names.
You can use wildcards in the service mapping. To match all outgoing calls to the same HTTP server you can do:
zipkin.addClientServiceMapping("http:someserver*", "audit");
Mapping rules
The service name mapping for server occurs using the following rules
 1. Is there an exclude pattern that matches the endpoint uri of the from endpoint?
 If yes then skip.
 2. Is there a match in the serviceServiceMapping that matches the endpoint uri of the from endpoint?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 3. Is there a match in the serviceServiceMapping that matches the route id of the current route?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 4. Is there a match in the serviceServiceMapping that matches the original route id where the exchange started?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 5. No service name was found, the exchange is not traced by zipkin
The service name mapping for client occurs using the following rules:
 1. Is there an exclude pattern that matches the endpoint uri of the from endpoint?
 If yes then skip.
 2. Is there a match in the clientServiceMapping that matches the endpoint uri of endpoint where the message is being sent to?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 3. Is there a match in the clientServiceMapping that matches the route id of the current route?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 4. Is there a match in the clientServiceMapping that matches the original route id where the exchange started?
 If yes, then use the found service name
 5. No service name was found, the exchange is not traced by zipkin
No client or server mappings
If there has been no configuration of client or server service mappings, CamelZipkin runs in a fallback mode, and uses endpoint uris as the service name.
In the example above, this would mean the service names would be defined as if you add the following code yourself:
zipkin.addServerServiceMapping("activemq:queue:inbox", "activemq:queue:inbox");
zipkin.addClientServiceMapping("http:someserver/somepath

The paper examines cases of petty crimes from historical documents in Manila during the last years of the Spanish colonial period. Documents from libraries and archives were drawn from reports of the Guardia Civil
(Police), Carcel Publica (Jail), and Jugados (Court). Violations against public order, such as road obstruction, alcohol intoxication, and vandalism reflect the tensions that grew from colonial efforts to rationalize urban spaces and enforce modes of public conduct and health habits. Cases of petty crimes of property (theft, robbery, and swindling) illustrate how the Spanish and local elite maintained control over the working classes. Crimes involving physical violence (physical injuries), maltratar de obra (physical abuse) and riñas (brawls) demonstrate tensions within and across classes and races. Arrests for tax evasion, illegal gambling and lack of identification (indocumentado) reveal means of monitoring and regulating the native Filipino (indio) and Chinese population in the city.
These violations not only show patterns of criminal offending but also reveal the daily rhythm of colonization marked by community reorganization and tension and collaboration among the classes of native Filipinos, Chinese and Spaniards. While crimes illustrate how indigenous and non-Spanish norms were marginalized and censured, they also reveal how natives alternately rejected and appropriated the Spanish judicial bureaucracy to seek retribution and settle disputes among themselves or against the Spaniards. The paper reflects on the consequences and conflicts arising from the application of a colonial criminal justice system premised on modern ideas of bureaucracy, rationality, and equality.

Four, seven-point, semantic differentials measure how honest and legitimate something is believed to be.
With four items, the scale measures the degree to which a product is believed to be genuine and original in some unstated way.
Four, seven-point Likert-type items measure to what degree a person believes that a social standard of a particular group of people makes sense and is of benefit to them. The norm is not stated in the items themselves and must be provided to participants some way.
Nine-point Likert-type items are used to measure a consumer's belief that there is evidence that a particular product is genuinely a particular brand rather than a fake or confusingly similar one. A twoand a four-item version are provided.
A consumer's belief that a particular product contains the legitimate and genuine character of a particular brand is measured with three, nine-point Likert-type items. The scale could also be referred to as measuring "contagion" or "transferred essence."

The Foster City Public Works Department this week began raising the water level of the Foster City lagoon by six to eight inches to prepare for summer.
The lagoon's levels are typically lowered in winter in case seasonal storms bring additional water. Levels are raised in the summer to accommodate recreational activities like sailing and windsurfing while making it harder for algae or other plants to grow.
Rainfall can raise the lagoon's water levels or the Public Works Department can let water into the lagoon at high tide. The water level will be higher on weekends and holidays and lower in the middle of the week to promote maximum water exchange in the lagoon.
The city's Lagoon Management Plan sets standards for these water levels. If major rainfall is forecast at any time of the year, the water level will be lowered once more to accommodate runoff and prevent flooding.
The lagoon, approximately 212 acres in size, acts as a drainage detention basin for the city, as storm water from the city flows into the lagoon and is pumped into the Bay. The lagoon can withstand a major storm likely to occur once a century.

text: The assumed mode method is widely used in the dynamic modeling of single flexible structures such as beams, bars, cables and plates. However, its application is limited when dealing with the vibration problems of combined structures because it cannot reflect the coupling between components. The approximate dynamic model of the combined structure can be established by using the assuming modes, and then the natural frequencies and corresponding eigenvectors of the system can be obtained by using the approximate model. Based on this approach, the global modes of the system can be obtained effectively. In this paper, a simply supported beam with multiple elastic supports in the middle span is taken as an example, and the global modes of the system are extracted by assuming mode weighting, so as to establish the dynamic model of the system. The results of the intrinsic characteristics analysis of the system show that the global mode of the system can be easily obtained by assumed model weighting. The results of dynamic response analysis of the system show that the nonlinear dynamic model based on the proposed global mode can effectively reflect the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system.

Delbert carves primarily from Pillar (black) slate, Zia alabaster, also called "white buffalo turquoise," and catlinite (or "pipestone"). Pipestone, used for ceremonial smoking pipes, and representing the blood of the ancestors, is particularly sacred to the plains tribes,
Delbert use a specific carving ritual to invest his fetishes with the spirit and power of the stone. He starts by washing with sweet grass and offering prayers to the Creator, the ancestors and the stone people. He gives an offering of tobacco or other substance to Mother
Earth, thanking her for the precious minerals.
People ask how Delbert decides what animal to carve. His answer is typical of that given by most sculptors. The stone tells them what animal spirit is inside. But, for Delbert, the process is much deeper. Animal spirit is not just the evidence of the animal's presence. It is the animal itself, with all the power and support the animal can bring to the fetish owner.
He starts each carving by "blocking" the stone, removing its outer layer. Once that is done, the carving is placed in water, with a request to the water that it bless the stone. The surface of the stone fetish is smoothed and polished while it is underwater. This encourages the positive energy of the water to enter and be absorbed by the stone. When the smoothing is completed, the carving is held up to the Sun, with the request that the Sunboy drink water from the stone and bless the emerging fetish.

ESSENTIALS: MAKE IT SIMPLE
Accurately test your aquarium's salinity with a
Portable Refractometer. Simple to use, optical instrument gives a direct, temperature compensated reading of specific gravity and salinity.
Deep Six Hydrometer's unique design takes true water samples for accurate reading.
Instant Ocean Hydrometer economically tests your aquarium's salinity and specific gravity.
Specific gravity measures the relative salinity (amount of dissolved salts) in your aquarium water in comparison to pure water. Measuring specific gravity on a regular basis is crucial to maintain the ideal environment for your marine inhabitants. The following helpful tips will ensure accurate results when measuring specific gravity.
- Most hobbyists use a simple hydrometer or a refractometer to measure salinity.
- For professional results consider a portable refractometer or a high tech electronic salinity monitor.
- Before changing your aquarium water, measure and record the specific gravity. Make sure the new saltwater matches the specific gravity of your aquarium. Too much of a deviation in salt levels could "shock" or potentially kill sensitive aquarium inhabitants.
- Replenish evaporated water with clean freshwater - not prepared salt water. Remember, salts remain behind after water evaporates. If you top off your aquarium with salt water, you are compounding salt levels in your aquarium.
- Before using a new swing-arm hydrometer, condition or "season" the hydrometer by soaking it in saltwater for 24 hours.

FAQs About Refractometers
What does a refractometer do?
Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. Recently, these instruments have become more affordable, so now every aquarium owner can have one to help monitor water conditions.
How do I use it?
Place 1 to 2 drops of aquarium water onto the prism glass and close the plate cover. Once a fluid sample is placed on the measuring surface, the light passing through it slows and bends. The refractometer focuses this bent light on a tiny internal scale. The scale is magnified by the eyepiece lenses so it is easily visible.
Look through the eyepiece and view the scale. The top portion of the scale appears blue and the bottom part appears white. Take your reading at the intersection of these two colors. One side of the scale measures salinity and the other side measures specific gravity.
To effectively monitor your marine aquarium water conditions, consider investing in a refractometer. The accuracy and affordability make it worthwhile.

How would you go around creating a reusable weapon class? I can't really wrap my head around creating a class, which will work for both melee and ranged weapons.
Example given, that you have a knife, an RPG, and you have an ordinary pistol. How would you go around creating a class all three can inherit from?
share|improve this question
Think about what they have in common and what is dfferent for each of them. That's the first step. – Maik Semder Sep 14 '11 at 14:07

The same way you design any inheritance structure: You think about what all weapons, without exception, have in common. Obviously, damage comes to mind. Attack rate. Remember that you don't have to (and should not!) cramp everything into the base class. You put into a class what you need it (and all child classes) to do, no more and no less.
Next step, you could make 2 classes, MeleeWeapon and RangedWeapon, which both inherit from Weapon. Maybe that split is necessary because a MeleeWeapon has no range, and/or only a RangedWeapon uses ammunition. Then you repeat the above process for each of those classes, until you have all classes you need.
At every branch, you should also consider if you really need to split into 2 or more classes. For example, melee weapons could also have a meaningful range, such as spear vs. dagger, or your ranged weapons could have infinite ammo. That totally depends on your game design and cannot be generalized.

Thank you very much, I have some quick drafts for some classes now :) – meth0d_ Sep 14 '11 at 15:14
-1, while your first paragraph I agree with, the rest of your answer trends towards the very outmoded and out-of-favor inheritance-heavy approach to design. – Josh Petrie Sep 14 '11 at 15:24
Just want to add that every weapon has a range. If a melee weapon would have a range of less or equal 0 it would not hit anything! – Marco Sep 14 '11 at 16:13
_USER_ An example where 0 range works: In a grid based system, the range represents how many squares away the target can be. 0 squares away is adjacent. 1 square away is any adjacent to the adjacent squares, and etc. What "0" means is a design specific question, and can be a valid value for range. – normanthesquid Sep 14 '11 at 17:39
_USER_ yes, I see, special cases. To Hackworth: It's not off-topic, since you were giving a statement in your answer and I thought that it would not be right; That's the matter with comments. Anyways, I still think that a range has to be defined (0 is also a value) to check any collisions with any entity. However, my understanding of range might actually differ from yours, so we should just stop discussing here. – Marco Sep 14 '11 at 18:18
To add to Hackworth's answer, with regard to damage and attack rate, in an RPG there are also modifiers to abilities. A heavy weapon may actually reduce your strength or dexterity, and give you negative modifiers. However, instead of thinking about having all weapons inheriting your modifiers, create a Modifier interface and implementation that has getters/setters for those modifiers. Now your Weapon interface should have a getter/setter for your Modifier object. This favors composition over inheritance when it makes sense.
share|improve this answer
It should certainly be possible to create a single class that represents all weapons equally well -- and this is ideal, because allowing yourself to fall into the trap of creating many subclasses for each weapon type is cumbersome. Composition(*) should be favored over inheritance.
The big challenges are going to be
 1. Enumerating the set of data and behavior that you expect of all classifications of weapon.
 2. Determining how to abstract that data and behavior into a data-oriented approach.
"Range" is a good example -- both swords and guns both have a range. You can either elect to use a simple system when a range of 0 just means "melee" or you can use a real-world measurement so as to (as suggested by another poster), gives daggers a shorter reach than a polearm.
Behavior can be handled by scripting(**). You could have an "on-activated" script object that was invoked when the weapon was used or swung -- the script for a melee weapon would look at the range, and the location of the actor using the weapon and perhaps compute the set of targets in an semi-circle in front of the actor and apply damage to each. Conversely the script for a gun might do a raycast from the actor, limited by the range.
(*) This does not strictly imply that you have to rely on "component oriented" systems to effectively avoid going crazy with inheritance.
(**) Either via scripts loaded from another language, like Lua, or by pointing the weapon at a C++ "Script" class which you do create subclasses of. The latter is obviously easier, but lacks some of the benefits of a scripting system as it requires recompilation, for example.

Powerfully Simple Demand Sensing
Demand Sensing allows you to incorporate detailed short-term demand data into your short-term forecasts to reduce forecast error by up to 50%, increase inventory accuracy by up to 20%, and optimally deploy downstream (e.g., Distribution Center) inventory.
Downstream data, such as customer and channel data, is employed to identify demand trends, provide advanced warning of problems, and remove the latency between plan and what is really happening in the supply chain. The quicker deviations can be identified, the quicker and more intelligently a company can respond.
Demand Sensing imports fresh daily demand data, immediately senses demand signal changes compared to a detailed statistical demand pattern, and evaluates the statistical significance of the change. It analyzes partial period actual demand to perform automatic short-term forecast adjustments using probabilistic pattern recognition and predictive analytics. Pattern recognition automatically detects a pattern in replenishment orders to improve short-term forecast accuracy. Advanced statistical analytics identify and rapidly react to replenishment issues or sudden changes in customer demand.
ToolsGroup's Demand Sensing can analyze the demand signal from:
 - the next downstream step in your demand chain, such as at a Ship-To store or warehouse
 - POS data or EDI transactions, expanding the ability to sense the extended supply chain
 - more advanced sources of unstructured "big data" in Demand Signal Repositories (DSRs), such as macroeconomic trends, social media and customer web behaviour.
Companies can now manage the entire process from demand signal capture, both from structured and unstructured sources, to short-term and long-term forecasting, for increased sales revenue and decreased inventory costs.

In recent VoIP Peering news the Dutch Cable SIP Exchange successfully tested interop
between its peering system (provided by XConnect) with Nokia Siemens Networks hiQ VoIP Platform. The test was done to demonstrate the ability to bridge between ENUM and C7.This marks continuing progress for VoIP Peering which is a good thing, but it also highlights two other important factors.
1. ENUM is the primary choice for routing with C7 being the fallback
2. The role of standards
In order to effect change technology must not only exist and operate correctly, but the thought process of how and when to use it must also change. A common language must have a common process and order. It is easy to see that the new way is ENUM first, C7 second. These are significant milestones in the psychology of networking as much as they are in the lifecycle of these entities.

Frequently asked questions
Does BSR differ from other health practices ?
Body Stress Release is not a diagnosis or treatment of any specific condition or disease, and doesn't focus on any one particular body part alone. It uses feedback from the body itself to know where stress is located and to release it accordingly. Its primary purpose is to locate and release stored tension in the body as a whole, focusing directly on the problem and not the symptoms. When the tension in the muscles is released, pressure on the nerves is reduced. This results in enhanced communication between the brain and the nervous system and ensures the healing of an amazing array of conditions and ill health effects. The Body Stress Release technique is precise, gentle and very effective, respecting the body's innate healing abilities.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make all rows the same height and all columns the same width in Excel and Google Sheets.

make all columns same width

When working in Excel, we often have data exported from some other system and the general layout can be pretty messy. Therefore we may need to sort out the worksheet to be able to work with data. One thing that often needs to be done is to set all rows to the same height and all columns to the same width.
Make All Rows the Same Height
To make all rows the same height, follow these steps:
1. Select all cells in the worksheet. To do this, click on the arrow in the upper left corner of the gridlines.

select all cells

2. In the Ribbon, go to Home > Format > Row Height.

set row height 1

3. In the pop-up screen, (1) set Row height (for example, we set 20 here), and (2) click OK

set row height 2a

As a result, all cells in the worksheet now have the same height (20).

all rows same height

Make All Columns the Same Width
Similarly, we can make all columns the same width by following these steps:
1. Select all cells in the worksheet. To do this, click on the arrow in the upper left corner of the gridlines.

select all cells

2. In the Ribbon, go to Home > Format > Column Width.

set column width 1

3. In the pop-up screen, (1) set Column width (for example, we set 15 here), and (2) click OK.

set column width 2a

As a result, all cells in the worksheet now have the same height (15). Now the whole worksheet has cells with the same height and width.

all cells same height width

Make All Rows the Same Height by Dragging
Another way to make all rows the same height is to drag a row boundary while all rows are selected.
1. Select all cells in the worksheet. To do this, click on the arrow in the upper left corner of the gridlines.

select all cells

2. Now, click on the line between any two rows' numbers and drag the cursor up or down to resize a row. This resizing will actually resize all the rows in the worksheet. While we're dragging the cursor, we'll see row heights in points and pixels, so we can set an exact value if we want.

same height rows dragging 1

As you can see in the picture below, we set the same row height for all rows in the sheet.

all rows same height

Make All Columns the Same Width by Dragging
Just like sizing rows, as shown above, we can also make all columns the same width by dragging the cursor right or left.
1. Select all cells in the worksheet. To do this, click on the arrow in the upper left corner of the gridlines.

select all cells

2. Now, click on the line between any column letter and drag the cursor left or right in order to resize a column. As we saw previously, this resizing will affect all the columns in the worksheet. While we're dragging the cursor, we'll see columns width in points and pixels, so we can set an exact value if we want.

same width columns dragging 1

Again, we achieved the same result and made all the columns the same width.

all cells same height width

Note that macros can also be used to change row height and column width.
Make All Rows the Same Height in Google Sheets
To make all rows the same height in Google Sheets, do the following:
1. First, select Row 1 by clicking on its header and press CTRL + SHIFT + DOWN to select all visible rows.
2. Next, (1) click on any row heading (numbers) and (2) press Resize rows 1-1000.

resize rows google sheets

3. In the pop-up screen, (1) select Specify row height and (2) set row height, for example, 25. (3) Click OK.

resize rows google sheets 2

As a result, all cells have the same height (25).

all rows same height google sheets

Make All Columns the Same Width in Google Sheets
Now we can also make all columns the same width in Google Sheets.
1. First, select Column A by clicking on its header and press CTRL + SHIFT + RIGHT in order to select all visible columns.
2. Next, (1) click on any column heading (letter) and (2) press Resize columns A-Z.

resize columns google sheets

3. In the pop-up screen, (1) select Enter new column width in pixels and (2) set column width, for example, 50. (3) Click OK.

resize columns google sheets 2

Finally, all cells in this sheet have the same height and width.

all cells same height width google sheets

We can also resize all rows or columns in Google Sheets by dragging. This works exactly the same as shown above for Excel.

The SNF Global Health Initiative (GHI) is supporting Sapien Labs in expanding its Global Mind Project, a database that seeks to provide a basis for understanding the factors that promote or undermine mental health, to young people ages 13-17.
Founded in 2016, Sapien Labs aims to understand how the fast-changing world we live in impacts the human brain and mind, identify root causes of negative outcomes, and create preventative strategies that push forward noticeable change. Its Global Mind Project is a major program that tracks mental wellbeing along with sociocultural, lifestyle, and technological factors in dozens of countries with the goal of understanding dominant trends in mental health and their key drivers.
Determined to investigate trends in youth mental health, Sapien Labs hopes that expanding the Global Mind Project from the adult populations it had previously engaged to adolescents will yield valuable insights that can catalyze effective solutions. The youth assessment, launched in August 2023, captures how respondents are feeling and how well they are functioning across a range of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical dimensions.
The SNF-supported expansion seeks to collect hundreds of thousands of new mental health profiles and examine the potential impacts of smartphones, ultra-processed food, cannabis, vaping, and other factors on the youth mental health crisis. Envisioned outcomes include recommendations of preventative strategies for families and schools, academic papers offering insights, and pilot case studies at schools.
As organizations around the world are alarmed by trends of declining mental health among young people, SNF supports Sapien Labs' work to understand the root causes of these trends and inform solutions that can change this trajectory.

* In common language the terms are used more or less interchangeably, but in botanical terms, thorns are derived from shoots (so that they may or may not be branched, they may or may not have leaves, and they may or may not arise from a bud), spines are derived from leaves (either the entire leaf or some part of the leaf that has vascular bundles inside, like the petiole or a stipule), and prickles are derived from epidermis tissue (so that they can be found anywhere on the plant and do not have vascular bundles inside).Leaf margins may also have teeth, and if those teeth are sharp, they are called spinose teeth on a spinose leaf margin (some authors consider them a kind of spine). On a leaf apex, if there is an apical process (generally an extension of the midvein), and if it is especially sharp, stiff, and spine-like, it may be referred to as spinose or as a pungent apical process (again, some authors call them a kind of spine). When the leaf epidermis is covered with very long, stiff trichomes (more correctly called bristles in this case; for some authors a kind of prickle), it may be referred to as a hispid vestiture; if the trichomes are stinging trichomes, it may be called a urent vestiture.There can be found also spines or spinose structures derived from roots.


Exercise 5.1.2
$\star$ Describe an implementation of the procedure RANDOM(a,b) that only makes calls to RANDOM(0,1). What is the expected running time of your procedure as a function of $a$ and $b$?
Let $n = b - a$. The algorithm is as follows:
 1. We find the smallest integer $c$ such that $2^c \ge n$ ($c = \lceil \ln{n} \rceil$)
 2. We call RANDOM(0, 1) $c$ times to and get a $c$-digit binary number $r$
 3. If $r > n$ we go back to the previous step
 4. Otherwise we return $a + r$
This produces a uniformly random number in that range. However, there is a possibility to have to repeat step 2. There is $p = n/2^c$ chance of not having to repeat step two. The geometric distribution suggests that on average it takes $1/p$ trials before we get such a number, that is $2^c/n$ trials. Since we perform $c$ calls to RANDOM(0, 1) on each trial, the expected running time is
$$ \O\bigg(\frac{2^c}{n} c\bigg) = \O\bigg(\frac{\ln(b-a)2^{\ln(b-a)}}{b-a}\bigg) = \O(\ln(b-a)) $$

Channel Loading
 CHANNEL LOADING
Channel loading generally occurs in one of the following modes:
- beam
- column • flange
BEAM LOADING
BEAM LOADING – PVC
The data listed in the Beam Loading Chart reflects testing conducted on Polyester (Type P) and vinyl ester (Type V) channels. PVC (Type E) material will differ from the Polyester/Vinyl ester Beam Loading Chart. To obtain the beam loading for PVC channel, reduce the load as follows:
(Polyester/Vinyl Ester Beam Load) PVC Beam Load = –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
NOTE: PVC is not recommended for lengths over 24". COLUMN LOADING
Beam loading data reflects
the maximum uniform load
allowed when using the
channel horizontally as in a
trapeze hanger. Refer to the
table on Page 13 for simple
beam loading capacity of various channels. Use the beam loading conversion chart on page 12 to calculate loading capacity for other beam loading conditions.
The Aickinstrut Trapeze hanger is an example of beam loading. To calculate the maximum allowable beam load for an Aickinstrut Trapeze hanger:
1. Measure the distance between the two threaded rod supports.
2. Using the length of the section hanger as the"beam", refer to the appropriate profile size in the Beam Loading Chart to determine whether the deflection meets your requirements.

text: Multimodal learning analytics (MMLA), which has become increasingly popular, can help provide an accurate understanding of learning processes. However, it is still unclear how multimodal data is integrated into MMLA. By following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this paper systematically surveys 346 articles on MMLA published during the past three years. For this purpose, we first present a conceptual model for reviewing these articles from three dimensions: data types, learning indicators, and data fusion. Based on this model, we then answer the following questions: 1. What types of data and learning indicators are used in MMLA, together with their relationships; and 2. What are the classifications of the data fusion methods in MMLA. Finally, we point out the key stages in data fusion and the future research direction in MMLA. Our main findings from this review are (a) The data in MMLA are classified into digital data, physical data, physiological data, psychometric data, and environment data; (b) The learning indicators are behavior, cognition, emotion, collaboration, and engagement; (c) The relationships between multimodal data and learning indicators are one-to-one, one-to-any, and many-to-one. The complex relationships between multimodal data and learning indicators are the key for data fusion; (d) The main data fusion methods in MMLA are many-to-one, many-to-many and multiple validations among multimodal data; and (e) Multimodal data fusion can be characterized by the multimodality of data, multi-dimension of indicators, and diversity of methods.

Incident Response Satellite Depots Project
The Department of Transport and Main Roads is now operating Queensland's first Incident Response Satellite Depots (IRSD) in order to respond to traffic incidents faster and reduce congestion on state-controlled roads (as part of the government's "congestion busting" initiatives).
There are 7 satellite depots that service the motorways and major arterials throughout south-east Queensland. The satellite depots provide storage facilities for signage and recovery equipment for emergency response crews. This allows incident response crews to clear traffic incidents faster and more efficiently, making our state-controlled roads safer and reduce traffic congestion.
The Incident Response Satellite Depots are an important part of the Queensland Government's plan to manage and oversee the delivery of a safe, efficient and integrated transport system that supports sustainable economic, social and environmental outcomes in Queensland.
The project involved the planning, design and construction of the satellite depots. cobodo provided consultancy services to TMR Road Operations, Metropolitan Region on the Congestion Busting Initiatives with a project budget of $11 million. Margie's role included:
project management of the design, construction and commissioning of the satellite depots
documentation of business requirements
development of business cases
preparation of the tender documentation
development and documentation of policies and procedures
workshop facilitation and presentation.

The cacheRunner example performs distributed caching operations based on user commands. The example is located in the GemFire installation under
In every shell used to run this example application, configure your environment according to the instructions provided in examples/EnvSetup.html.
environment is set, change to the
directory to run the application. You may wish to configure the example
to run with non-default connection properties (to use a unique mcast-port,
for example). To do this, copy the
examples/dist/cacheRunner directory and edit it as needed.
The application takes a cache configuration file in input. You can use the example configuration files
provided in the example directory and you can create and test your own.
This sample loads
examples/cacheRunner/cache.xml file for cache initialization:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner cache.xml
Once started, the application allows you to perform most of the caching
activities that are available through the Java API (the program's "
help" lists all possible commands). With its free-form approach, this
cacheRunner program allows you to to explore the various caching models. The following examples guide you through three basic cache applications, but we encourage you to to try your own.
Example 1 - Exploring Data Distribution and Replication
This first example runs two Java applications in one distributed system. The applications define the same cache regions:
a root region, named "root", with three subregions:
rlocal (no distribution),
rdistnoack (distribution with pull model), and
rglobalreplication (complete replication of data).
To try out
cacheRunner with these configuration files, set up two shells
with the same environment settings, and
cd to the
examples/dist/cacheRunner directory. You may need to change how these processes find each other to avoid conflicting with processes that are already running. To do so, copy
gemfire.properties from the
defaultConfig directory of the installation and modify the
In both shells, run:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner cache.xml
This starts the applications and initializes their caches according to
help lists the available operations. In one shell, add
some entries to the three subregions,
From the other shell, list the region contents
and note that
rglobalreplication is already equivalent to its counterpart
in the first shell. Still in the second shell, try to get entries that are already
defined in the first shell and note the result. Add some entries to the
regions in the second shell and note the effects on the regions in the first shell.
backup_cache.xml file configures a GemFire cache
root, that backs up its contents to disk. When data is placed into
this region, it is scheduled for an asynchronous write to disk.
You can run this example from the
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner backup_cache.xml
After adding several entries to the root region using the "put" command, you can exit the program. Upon restarting with the same XML configuration file, you can obtain the values of the entries you added using the "get" command. The entries should have the values you put in the previous invocation of the CacheRunner example.
The backup files are in the
BackupDirectory. If you want to try out the rollover of
backup files, edit this
line in the
backup_cache.xml to set the file size limit to 1 megabyte:
Then do puts until you create more than a megabyte of data. Alternatively,
you can enter
forceRolling at the command prompt.
The active backup file is
n is a
sequence number. When the file rolls over, the data is archived to
BACKUP_root.db and the current file is replaced by a
new file with the next sequence number. To save all
the backup files, rather than deleting the old ones,
turn off rolling in the
Example 3 - Querying and Indexing
queryPortfolios.xml file configures a GemFire cache
region with the Portfolios region that is discussed in the Querying chapter
of the GemFire Enterprise Distributed Caching Programmer's Guide. The accompanying
queryPortfolios.in, can be used to run most of the queries
that are listed in that chapter. To run those queries against the
queryPortfolios.xml data, execute this command:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner queryPortfolios.xml < queryPortfolios.in
This lists every query and its results and then exits.
You can run your own queries against the same data by starting cacheRunner like this:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner queryPortfolios.xml
For information on creating queries and indexes interactively, see the program help or the examples in the

 How to paper tune your bow
 Paper tuning your bow is not a necessity in order to shoot your bow, however it does ensure that your bow is shooting straight and as accurate as possible. In most cases it even helps to reduce the amount of difference between field points and broadheads.
 Paper tuning is really nothing more than putting a piece of paper between two posts and then shooting your arrow through the paper into a target located just behind the paper. In doing this you are able to see if the arrow is kicking left,right,up or down.
 1. Lets get started what you need to do is to get 2 posts of some type and secure them so that they cannot move. Your going to want the posts to be about the width of the paper your using minus an inch on both sides because your going to need to fasten the paper to the posts.
 *NOTE make sure that the paper is not creased or wrinkled as this will affect the outcome results.* Also make sure the paper is at the height of the arrow being shot because you do not want to be shooting downwards or upwards into the paper as the results will be inaccurate as well..
 2. Alright so now with the posts firmly in place in front of your target and the paper fastened to the posts you are now ready to start shooting. So what we are going to do is go back about 3-5 yards from the posts. Now what your going to do is shoot an arrow into the sheet of paper making sure that your form good so as not to torque the bow.
 3. After the arrow has passed through the page there may or may not be significant tearing. What your going to do next is to go to the paper take on of your hands and put it behind the paper and put the tears back together so that you can see how its tearing. Once you see how it is tearing then you can make the adjustments to your arrow rest. *NOTE the best way that I have found is to work on one problem at a time so work on either horizontal tears or vertical tears*.
 4. Alright so now what we have to do is read the tear and fix the problem. Now the most important part to remember is that you must move your rest in the direction of the tear, so for example if after getting the paper back together you notice that the tear is going to the left then you need to move the rest to the left, if the tear is going in an upward direction then you need to move the rest up etc.
 Now this could take some time as once you move the rest you must continue shooting into the paper until you shoot the arrow through with no tearing and the end result looks as though your looking at the back of an arrow. You need to do this for both for horizontal and vertical tears.
 5. Once you have the arrows going through properly with the flecthings on we need to get a bare arrow(one without fletchings)and go through the same steps. In doing this we can eliminate even the smallest of tears that may have been covered up by the minor tearing from the fletchings on the previous arrow we used.
 The goal of this new arrow is to get it making what looks like bullet holes, the holes should be round with no tearing at all. If this is done than you have successfully paper tuned your bow, this will ensure maximum accuracy and penetration of the arrow.

 The Importance of Paper Tuning your Bow
 Bow tuning is not very commonly practiced by a majority of bowhunters. This is more than likely due to the fact that it is fairly time consuming and does take a bit of knowledge to do. Some archers are under the impression that if they go out and buy the most expensive rest and sight that this will help them to avoid having to tune their bows. Unfortunately it will not work like this.
 It MAY lessen the frequency of tuning you have to do but you will still have to tune your bow. Tuning your bow is just the act of basically moving your rest up/down/left/right so as get your arrow flying out of the bow as smoothly as you can.
 Tuning your bow is not necessary but it is recommended for a few reasons. Tuning your bow not only helps to improve your shooting and reduces the amount of wear to your equipment but also keeps your arrow shooting as straight as possible.
 Now you may be asking yourself does it really make that big of a difference, well let me assure you that it does and could mean the difference between getting your trophy animal and kicking your self in the behind for missing. Let me explain what I mean.
 An arrow that flies from a none tuned bow will most definitely have a wobble in the back of the arrow, now that wobble may not be serious enough to hurt your shot a great deal on a calm day but lets throw some wind in there and you have yourself a huge chance of that wobble becoming worse as it is caught by the wind. The wobble also creates more wind drag that will slow your arrow down causing less penetration.
 An arrow that is shot from a bow that is not tuned has 4 possible outcomes these are that the arrow will either be kicked out so the back of the arrow is pointed down, up, to the right or left. This plays a huge role on how your arrow will fly and how it will hit and enter your target.
 For example if your arrow is kicked out and the back of the arrow is pointing downward the arrow will try to stabilize as much as it can before hitting the target but more times than not when the arrow hits the target the arrow will be going in on an angle, which greatly reduces the penetration of the arrow. Paper tuning makes tuning a bow a whole lot easier and less painful as it serves as a visual aid so that you can see how your arrow is flying from your bow.
 When the arrow goes through the paper if it is not going straight in, it will actually make a tear in the direction that the back of the arrow is pointed. This will take the guessing work out of tuning your bow and cut the time down as well.
 So whether your a competition shooter or a hunter you will benefit greatly by spending an hour or so tuning your bow to guarantee your arrows are flying straight. If you would like to know exactly how to paper tune your bow look in our tutorial section.

Centre for Applied Network Research
Following are brief descriptions of selected projects conducted under MAGGIE - Measurement and Analysis of the Global Grid and Internet End-to-End Performance.
Project Details Documentation Executables / Binaries Source Code
TULIP - Trilateration Utility for Locating IP Addresses
TULIP is a Java application being developed by the MAGGIE-NS team from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring (IEPM) project. TULIP's purpose is to geolocate a specified target host (identified by IP name or address) using ping RTT delay measurements to the target from reference landmark hosts whose positions are well known. Knowing the speed of light in fiber or copper (roughly 0.6*c, we use 1ms. is equivalent to 100km), the minimum ping RTT measurement from each landmark site gives a rough estimate of the fibre + copper cable distance of the landmark from the target host. Lateration is applied on these distance estimates to estimate the position of the specified host on the globe.
ViPER - Visualization for PingER
ViPER (Visualization for PingER) is an interactive Java application being developed by the MAGGIE-NS team from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) Institute of Information Technology (NIIT) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Internet End-to-end Performance Monitoring (IEPM) project. ViPER's purpose is to visually present the location of all the PingER nodes on the world map, show links between PingER Monitoring and Remote nodes and provide visual representation of all the data monitored by PingER.
Federation - SmokePing PingER Integration
The main goals of this project are to build a federation of measurement infrastructures so that latency measurements (historical and recent) can be shared, best practices among several measurement infrastructures can be adopted, the need for sites to deploy multiple infrastructures to gain all the available benefits be reduced and different analysis and visualization techniques be applied to yield more ubiquitous coverage and new insights. This project "Federation-SmokePing, PingER Integration" serves the main 'MAGGIE Project' and deals with the integration of two network latency measurement tools namely SmokePing and PingER. The objectives of the project include:
- Study and evaluate SmokePing and PingER to understand how they work, and their pros and cons.
- Extend the capability of SmokePing to derive parameters/metrics not currently supported such as ping unreachability, jitter, derived TCP throughput, etc.
- Provide the ability to select and visualize these new metrics. Feed the modifications to SmokePing back into the development base.
- Modify PingER to enable it to utilize the SmokePing time series visualization tool.
- Evaluate and provide the ability to feed SmokePing data to the Pinger analysis/visualization toolkit, so we can use the PingER aggregation techniques to characterize performance by regions, or affinity groups.
Network Weather Forecasting
Distributed applications are increasingly dependant on the reliability and performance of networks. This issue is prominent over international collaborations. Computer networks often suffer with sudden change in performance due to various reasons. The current approach of network measurement and diagnosis is generally reactive by manually viewing graphs and tables of analyzed measures and results. We assume that an automated approach to forecast and detect events can serve network engineers and administrators better to identify network problems. Thus we aim to forecast values of network performance into future with reasonable confidence by employing techniques of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models, sometimes called Box-Jenkins models (ARMA).
Toplogical Analysis and Network Performance Visualization
The project is to contribute to production software packages that will facilitate the identification of network performance scheduling , monitoring, event detection and visualization. In particular, PathNeck (an opensource tool developed jointly by AT&T and CMU ) has been identified as a useful network monitoring tool that we wish to implement and extrapolate information from. It combines traceroute information with throughput information from packet train deductions.
Anomaly Detection and (Event) Diagnosis
Event Diagnosis is the next step after Event Detection. IEPM group has established a large infrastruture for network performance measurment all over the world. This infrasture provides near real time network performance related data. IEPM group has developed analysis techniques and tools that detect drop in performance. Event Diagnosis project is aimed at finding out the cause of performance drop. So it is a sub-system under IEPM-BW being developed over Event Detection. Current work is being carried out by a team of researchers at SLAC but given the nature and evident benfits of project it is expected to expand quickly.
Netflow Presentation Frontend
The server side code is primarily a means to dynamically gather and present base components of the frontend; for example to display the statistics of from the BNL site to say SLAC. Much work needs to be conducted to expand the presentation consistency and to iron the bugs in the implementation.
Using the above prototype as a framework, learn and use AJAX technologies and methodologies to improve the user experience of the netflow visualisation and offer suggestions of how to better represent the netflow data.
PingER Route Visualizer using Traceroutes
Visualizing topology graphs can be very useful for seeing and demonstrating how direct or indirect routing is between countries (often routing between countries close to one another in developing regions can go via Europe or the US). It is also useful to discover hosts whose location is not properly known. This script generates topology graphs of traceroute data of a particular region/group of countries in the Guthrie database.
PingER Host Searcher
Increasing the coverage of PingER in developing countries has been difficult so far because it is hard to find hosts which are geographically located within those countries and do not block pings. The usual method of searching for hosts on Google using the top level domain of such countries has proven to be tedious and time consuming task. The PingER host searcher is an attempt to solve this problem.
PerfSONAR is a distributed network monitoring protocol that utilises the power of XML and Web-services. In this realm, it is very important that network managers and users can get a feel for the data that the the services provide.
This project focusses on developing advanced visualisation tools that will leverage the power of PerfSONAR such that Network Operation Centers, Network Managers and others can quickly, efficiently and logically drill down to understand network performances etc.
AMP PingER Integration
This project aims to develop a script that allows the conversion of AMP data to PingER and vice versa. This is to faciliate analysis that may be performed using tools developed for either of the formats.
Web based visualization for PingER
This project deals with the visualization of PingER monitoring, These sites are mapped as circles on a world map according to their latitude and longitude values, when any of the them is clicked a webpage showing the detailed information about the node is dynamically generated using the script dbprac.pl. Green circles represent remote sites,blue sites represent beacon sites and red circles represent monitoring sites.
PingER Executive Plots
The aim of this project is to create long-term summary plots of PingER historical data. These plots may be bar charts, line charts or trend line charts of PingER data overtime
The PingER project has been gathering historical data for various countries/regions for over 7 years. There was a need to design a software which could provide summary plots of this data. These plots need to be dynamic and adjustable in order to enable the user to analyze the data as he desires. In addition the software must be extendable to include new capabilities and functionalities as required. The software developed has been categorized into loss-quality and trendlines.
The aim of the PingER management project is to create an application, that can automatically test the pingER software and report errors to the administrators.

JG Afrika was involved in the Lesotho Lowlands Bulk Water Supply Feasibility Study hydraulic modelling. This was undertaken in partnership with Royal HaskoningDHV and GWC Consulting Engineers.
The engineering team identified the need for run-of-river abstraction to source raw water from the Hlotse River, and preliminary investigations were then undertaken to determine a suitable abstraction point.
A physical model was built to assess localised sediment and scour impacts of the abstraction pump station with various orientations within the river bank. This was undertaken by the University of Stellenbosch, which was also appointed by the engineering team to assess the sediment and scour impacts of the pump station at 0, 20, 40 and 60 degree orientations.

I think, that it would be nice to include tropics, arctic and antarctic circles in planet grids. They are well defined at least for planets (the only parameter, which set their position is the angle between planet's rotation axis and it's orbital plane).
I realise, that the issue is more complicated for moons, objects with unusual orbits (without well defined orbital plane) or unusual rotation (without well defined rotation axis). That's why I propose an additional boolean parameter. It's value would decide about displaying these 4 circles. It would look like that:
- Code: Select all
(...) # all other parameters
There are two possibilities of displaying tropics, arctic and antarctic circles. They could be just parts of the grid, but they might also be displayable separately (like the terminator). They could also move in very long time scales, adjusting to eventual changes of the angle between planet's rotation axis and it's orbital plane. What do you think?
P. S. These circles should look quite funny on Uranus

Propose a Program for the 2018 UUA General Assembly
Purple fountain and trees on pink cityscape background
2018 General Assembly: All Are Called
June 20-24, Kansas City, Missouri
Grounded in a deep belief that we are all prophets, Unitarian Universalists ask, "How can we faithfully meet the demands of our time?" The call to witness and act for justice in our society and in the world is clear. So, too, is the call to examine our structures and practices, dismantling and transforming those which fail to recognize the full humanity of all people and to honor the interdependent web of life. Join us in Kansas City as we dive deeply into questions of mission for our Unitarian Universalist Association, for our congregations and communities, and for each of us as individuals. Together, we'll ask:
 - Who and how are we called to be at this time, individually and collectively?
 - How are we called to act and to live?
 - How does our Unitarian Universalist legacy strengthen us in living out our mission or challenge the fulfillment of our call?
The call of our faith has a place for each of us. Join us in Kansas City to build courageous, collective leadership with tools, skills and connections.
Proposing Programs for General Assembly
The proposal deadline is Wednesday, Nov 1, 2017 at 3 PM EDT. Find detailed information about proposing a program for General Assembly. Complete and submit the program proposal form by Wednesday, November 1 at 3:00 p.m. EDT.
Program selection will be guided by these questions:
 1. Who and how are we called to be in this time? How can we grow healthy, vibrant leader-full congregations, grounded in mission and willing to take faithful risks to more fully live into our calling? How can leadership in the areas of religious education, stewardship, governance, membership and others nurture and support mission focus in congregations? Programs which emphasize concrete skills for congregational and community leadership are especially needed.
 2. How are we called to act in response to the challenges of our time? What capacities do we need to strengthen and hone? What skills and approaches will help us better partner with others, accepting direction from those most directly impacted by systems of oppression and injustice? How do we nurture spiritual resilience for the long haul?
 3. What can we mine from our Unitarian Universalist legacy, theology, history, and tradition that will strengthen and sustain us in living out our mission? What guidance can we lift up from contemporary Unitarian Universalists whose identities and perspectives have not historically been at the center of our faith? In what ways does our legacy present challenges and impediments to answering our calland what shall we do to address them?
