JSON Schema
From the file system
If you open a JSON Schema from the file system, Hackolade will detect its nature and will execute the reverse-engineering of that JSON Schema. You will need to choose a database target for your model.

If you wish to include the schema for a JSON Schema file in an existing model, the process is slightly different. With your model already opened, choose Tools > Reverse-Engineer > JSON Schema.

Tools - Reverse-Engineer - JSON Schema

The structure of a JSON Schema can be imported either as an entity in the Entity Relationship Diagram, or alternatively as a model definition so it could be re-used in the model:
JSON Schema reverse-engineering dialog

If you wish to force the destination of the reverse-engineering operation, you may specify the container in which the entities should be inserted.

For RDBMS targets, an additional option appears, that allows automatic normalization of complex data types:

JSON Schema reverse-engineering dialog - normalization

From cloud storage and schema registries
JSON files and schemas can also be reverse-engineered from AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage/ADLS, and Google Cloud Storage.
Cloud Selection - combine Avro schemas

AWS S3
Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, and provide proper URI to your S3 bucket, and optional folder path.

Cloud Storage - AWS S3 connection for Avro schema

If the S3 bucket is private, you must also provide authentication parameters (Access key id and Secret access key):
Cloud Storage - AWS S3 authentication avro schema

If you wish to handle AWS authentication through the credentials file, you may leave blank the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key fields, knowing that Hackolade supplies credentials following the recommendations described here.

Azure Blob Storage and ADLS
Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, and provide proper Container name and Storage account name.

Note: be careful to only mention the storage account name, i.e. NOT a full URL or anything other than the storage account name.

Cloud Storage - Azure connection avro schema

If you wish to filter files, you may enter a file name prefix:
Cloud Storage - Azure prefix blob name avro schema

Anonymous Authentication
If the storage is public, you may choose the anonymous method:
Cloud Storage - Azure anonymous auth

If the storage account is private, Azure provides a choice of 3 methods with different levels of granularity depending on your security requirements:
Storage Access Key
The storage access key is similar to a root password for your storage account. Always be careful to protect your access keys. Microsoft recommends that you use Azure Key Vault to manage your access keys, and that you regularly rotate and regenerate your keys.

Cloud Storage - Azure Storage Access Key conf

Select the authentication method and paste the key into the Storage Access Key field:
Cloud Storage - Azure Storage Access Key auth

Shared Access Signature
A shared access signature (SAS) provides secure delegated access to resources in your storage account, with granular control over how a client can access your data: user delegation, service or account.

For Hackolade to be able to reverse-engineer, the minimum rights are as shown here:
Cloud Storage - Azure Shared Access Sign conf

Cloud Storage - Azure Shared Access Sign gen

After clicking the button to generate, copy the SAS token from the Azure portal, and paste it in the SAS Token field:
Cloud Storage - Azure SAS Token auth
Shared Access Token per container
It is possible to generate tokens for specific containers in the "Shared access tokens" menu option of the container:
Cloud Storage - Azure Blob SAS Token conf

The minimum required rights for our reverse-engineering process to succeed are: read and list.

Cloud Storage - Azure Blob SAS Token gen

After clicking the button to generate, copy the Blob SAS token from the Azure portal, and paste it in the SAS Token field:

Cloud Storage - Azure Blob SAS Token auth

Google Cloud Storage
Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, and provide proper URI to your GCS bucket, and optional folder path.
Cloud Storage - Google connection avro schema

If the bucket is private, you must also access to the Private key:
Cloud Storage - Google authentication avro schema

Confluent Schema Registry on Confluence Cloud
Confluent Schema Registry on Confluence Cloud
To connect to your schema registry instance in the cloud you first must obtain both an API key and API secret for it. They are found in the Schema Registry tab, in the API endpoint section:
Confluent Schema Registry - API endpoint key

Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, choose Cloud as a source, and provide the URL to your Schema Registry:

Confluent Schema Registry - Cloud connection avro schema

Then provide the API key and API secret:
Confluence Schema Registry - Cloud auth avro schema

Confluence Schema Registry on-premises
Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, choose on-premise as a source, and provide the URL to your Schema Registry:
Confluent Schema Registry - on-prem connection avro schema

Then provide your username and password:
Confluent Schema Registry - on-prem auth avro schema

Pulsar Schema Registry
Give a meaningful name to the connection to identify it for later, choose the Pulsar connection type, provide the URL to your Schema Registry
Pulsar connection settings avro schema

Gradable and Non-gradable Adjectives
Adjectives describe qualities (characteristics) of nouns.
- Some qualities can vary in intensity or grade (for example: rather hot, hot, very hot; hot, hotter, the hottest).
The adjective hot is gradable.
- Other qualities cannot vary in intensity or grade because they are:
- extremes (for example: freezing)
- absolutes (for example: dead)
- classifying (for example: nuclear)
The adjectives freezing, dead and nuclear are non-gradable.
A gradable adjective can be used with "grading adverbs" that vary the adjective's grade or intensity. Look at these examples:
a little, dreadfully, extremely, fairly, hugely, immensely, intensely, rather, reasonably, slightly, unusually, very
angry, big, busy, clever, cold, deep, fast, friendly, good, happy, high, hot, important, long, popular, rich, strong, tall, warm, weak, young
A gradable adjective can also have comparative and superlative forms:
EC Tip: "Gradable adjectives" are also called "qualitative adjectives". "Grading adverbs" are also called "submodifiers".
- big, bigger, the biggest
- hot, hotter, the hottest
- important, more important, the most important
Look at these example sentences:
- My teacher was very happy with my homework.
- That website is reasonably popular. But this one is more popular.
- He said that Holland was a little cold and Denmark was rather cold. But Sweden was the coldest.
EC Tip: The adjective dead is non-gradable because it is an absolute. Dead is dead. We cannot be more or less dead. One person cannot be "deader" than another. Other absolutes include: correct, unique, perfect
A non-gradable adjective cannot be used with grading adverbs:
It was rather freezing outside. The dog was very dead. He is investing in slightly nuclear energy.
Non-gradable adjectives do not normally have comparative and superlative forms:
more freezing, the most freezing
deader, the deadest
more nuclear, the most nuclear
Often, non-gradable adjectives are used alone:
EC Tip: Don't try to learn lists of gradable and non-gradable adjectives! It's better to understand what makes an adjective gradable or non-gradable. This is a matter of logic and common sense. Most native-speakers have never heard of gradable and non-gradable adjectives. They just "feel" that it doesn't make sense to say "
fairly excellent" or " very unique". You probably have the same idea in your language.
- It was freezing outside.
- The dog was dead.
- He is investing in nuclear energy.
However, a non-gradable adjective can be used with "non-grading adverbs" (which usually just give the adjective extra impact), for example:
|non-grading adverbs ||non-gradable adjectives|
Here are some example sentences with non-gradable adjectives:
- Her exam results were absolutely awful. She will have to take the exam again.
- Is there anything like it in the world? It must be virtually unique.
- It starts an essentially chemical reaction.
Adjectives that can be gradable and non-gradable
Some adjectives may have more than one meaning or sense. It's possible for the same adjective to be gradable with one sense and non-gradable with another sense. For example:
| ||adjective||common = |
|He's got a very old car.||gradable||not young |
|I saw my old boyfriend yesterday.||non-gradable||former, ex- |
|He has some dreadfully common habits. ||gradable||vulgar|
|"The" is a very common word in English. ||gradable||prevalent|
|The two countries' common border poses problems. ||non-gradable||shared |
Adverbs used with gradable and non-gradable adjectives
The adverbs really (very much) and fairly and pretty (both meaning "to a significant degree, but less than very") can often be used with gradable and non-gradable adjectives:
|Please don't forget! It's really important. ||He was really terrified. |
|He's a fairly rich man. ||It's a fairly impossible job. |
|He's pretty tall. ||It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it. |
"Quite" with gradable and non-gradable adjectives
The meaning of the adverb "quite" changes according to the type of adjective we use it with:
| ||adjective||quite = |
|It's quite warm today. ||gradable||fairly, rather |
|Are you quite certain?||non-gradable||completely, absolutely |
| Although we don't recommend that you learn lists of non-gradable adjectives, here are some for reference. You can decide for yourself whether they are extreme, absolute or classifying. |
|alive, awful, black, boiling, certain, correct, dead, domestic, enormous, environmental, excellent, freezing, furious, gigantic, huge, immediately, impossible, miniscule, mortal, overjoyed, perfect, pregnant, principal, ridiculous, superb, terrible, terrified, unique, unknown, white, whole |
|Again, no need to learn lists. Here are a few examples. There are many more. Remember that you cannot use all non-grading adverbs with all non-gradable adjectives. Some collocate (go together). Some don't. |
| absolutely, almost, completely, entirely, exclusively, fully, largely, mainly, nearly, perfectly, practically, primarily, utterly, virtually |

into the details PLN and published as a module so it's usable in the future.
By providing hotlinked details in the template, we have some standard details done, as well as a head start on modifications we might need for the project.
Electrical Symbols
The electrical symbol legend is a hotlinked PLN file (not a module; it's just one story) placed in the template's floor plan on the story Footings (-2), a non-publishing story below the Basement (-1). There is a view saved of the legend, which is placed as a drawing on the electrical sheet layouts.
The legend can't be placed in a detail or worksheet viewpoint, because some of the symbols are lamp elements, which can't be placed in details. (The rest are objects.)
The legend itself is handy for doing electrical plans: Set the trace reference to that Footings story, and you can eyedropper (Opt+click) on the symbols.
Again, the legend is standard in the template when the project begins. If the'master' legend is updated, the hotlink manager will alert the user. OTOH, if the user wants to break the link and modify the legend, they can do that.
Drawing Symbols and Standard Fills
On the cover sheets we have legends for drawing symbols, section fills, and surface fills. These are external views from a PLN file, placed as drawings on the two (Sizes D and E) cover sheet master layouts. (We use size C internally and for preliminary work, but never for official submissions or CDs. So no cover sheet with the legends.)
Because the sheets are different sizes the legends are as well, and there are separate views for each sheet size. The Drawing Symbols.PLN file has four stories.
The symbols and the section fills are published at 1:1 scale, so those two legends can be next to each other on one story. The surface fills are "Model Size", so they have to be published at an architectural scale (1:48) in order to show anything in the tiny boxes of the legend. They have their own story.
Two stories for E size, two for D. The four stories are saved as views with the appropriate 1:1 or 1:48 scale.
These legends rarely change, but when they do, the placed drawings can be updated.
Elevator Plan
Location: 14 Conveying Systems /
This is a hydraulic residential elevator based on a product line of a real company. Since I don't know how they feel about me 'using' their 'IP', I'm not saying who it is at this time. You could probably figure it out.
Because it's a real product line, there are limited size and configuration options. Under Cab Size there are three. Under Door Configuration there are various. Some of the door configurations offer the option to have the door hinge from the 'Track' side of the elevator or the 'Opposite' side. If this parameter doesn't apply, it is hidden.
You can choose the configuration visually under the 'Configurations' interface tab.
Elevator Chooser
There is a read-only Configuration Code which is generated from the Door Configuration and the Hinge Side. This is from the product catalog.
I have provided a Standard Sizes parameter which locks the length and width to the catalog data. I wouldn't turn this off; I would rather know how big the real equipment is. The only case where I would turn it off is where I was using another manufacturer and the configurations were similar but the exact dimensions were different. Anyway, it's stretchable in principle, but the default is to be locked to the standard sizes. Turn this switch off and stretch to any impossible shape you want, YMMV.
Place the object on the bottom story of the elevator's true extent. Show the object on All Stories. Set the object's Stories Served parameter to reflect the number of actual stories the elevator will serve. The 2D symbol will not be shown above or below this range. (Though (Archicad fail) the object will still be selectable via Select All on stories where it is not visible.) The wall track which supports the cab will automatically extend through all but the top story being served by the elevator. The top story is covered by the value in the Top Rail Height parameter. This value should be roughly the top story's ceiling height. (I found in most cases that the track was too tall if it ran the whole top story.)
The Raise Cab parameter determines how many stories the cab will be raised in 3D from the home (bottom) story. This would only matter if you cut a section through the elevator shaft, and frankly it wouldn't matter much even then.
Elevator Pit
If the Pit Depth parameter is non-zero, the object will build the pit below the elevator. You can set the thickness of the walls and floor of the pit. You still need to cut a hole in the surrounding slab. The pit will be placed under that slab, using the Surrounding Slab Thickness parameter.
In plan, it looks like an elevator. The length and width dimensions are based on the finished dimensions of the shaft. The text bit should center in the car and it can be customized if "ELEV" doesn't suit you. There is a red (pen 10) line at the center of the door(s), and nodes at the edges of the doors. The door is not part of the object; you need to place a door in a wall normally. There are also hotspots at the center of the track and at the centerlines of the required structure for the track.
The associated pump equipment is a separate object, Elevator Equipment JM16. I also have a call box symbol for the electrical plan, Elevator Call Switch JM16.

CL Types
Location: 01 General / 1 Graphic Symbols
First is the option to show a line in addition to the symbol. If the line is shown, you have the option of repeating the CL symbol at the other end.
Update: If the line is shown and the symbol at the end is on, the symbol at the start can be turned off. In this way you can have the line pointing up from the symbol.
Second, I saw Jakub Chruscinski's version of my old symbol on BIMcomponents, which includes a complete font list in the text options. I'm offering the complete list as an option since it seems like something people like, but it defaults to off. I prefer to restrict the list to our standard fonts.
The default font is Arial in the version I am sharing, but the sublime font in the preview is Gill Sans, which is what we use in practice.
Wonkish: The symbol code consists of two text blocks whose alignment is set using X and Y coordinate offsets with absurd precision (0.0001"). Not all fonts will look right automatically. To get an arbitrary font to look good, you might need to open the 2D script and modify the offsets.

This is everything I can think of about libraries management. There have been a lot of changes over the years.
Current naming standards. Still very boring.
These rules aren't set in stone, but if we all stay near the rules we all stay near each other. Like all standards, they work most of the time. When a situation is addressed by the standards, you can save your creativity for the projects.
Adam Savage is a huge fan of The Shining. In homage, he built a replica of the Overlook Hotel's hedge maze model which is so awesome that... well, watch the video. I am a huge fan of The Shining, and of Adam Savage. In homage, I made this Archicad model of the Savage replica.
Maze 3D
I used much less time, material, and skill, but I followed a similar process to that shown in the video: Figure out the grid, figure out the scale, obsess over screenshots, find good materials, and don't let it go even as it takes longer than it should.
While Adam makes clear that his model is a replica of the (prop) model inside the hotel, not a model of the maze itself (which likely does not 'exist'), my model is roughly 50:1 scale with the replica, restoring it to'real life' scale, based on the discussion in the video.
So this is a virtual model based on a video of a real replica of a lost real model of a likely unreal maze from a movie. (No, the maze isn't in the book IIRC.)
If you want a "model" of the maze, i.e., a miniature replica at 1:50 scale, suitable for modeling the Overlook itself, you can save the whole thing as an object and then shrink it. Use the saved view called 'Top View', select all elements, then File -> Libraries and Objects -> Save Selection As... -> Object. When placing the object, link the XYZ dimensions with the chain button and set the length to about 8 feet / 2.5m. Put it on a table.
Here is the PLA file (8MB). Here is the desktop BIMx file (4MB). Here is the Graphisoft BIMx viewer page. Here is an STL file (1.3MB).
If this was a proper post it would be clearer and have some illustrations. These are just my notes on the process, quite involved for us as you'll see, of migrating a project to AC17/18. Even though 17 was released 18 months ago, we still have projects in earlier versions and I doubt we are alone. IMO, the combination of Building Materials and "Inside/Outside" for walls is the biggest change to AC modeling in my

- My Lab Essentials: 'The Swimming Professor' Andreas Fath
Editorial Article: My Lab Essentials: 'The Swimming Professor' Andreas FathIn the second article in our new series, My Lab Essentials, the 'Swimming Professor', Prof Dr Andreas Fath, from the University of Furtwangen, Germany, discusses his novel research into the electrochemical degradation of water contaminants and the equipment that is vital to his work.
Prof Dr Fath designed a novel device to electrochemically decompose fluorinated surfactants in waste water. He says "We designed a sustainable electrochemical decomposition device that uses the energy of the sun to produce an electrical current." This device could provide a technique to degrade contaminates that are usually difficult to destroy.
In 2014, Prof Dr Fath completed a 764-mile (1,231 km) swim of Germany's River Rhine to raise awareness of his research into water treatment, earning him the name the 'Swimming Professor'. The Rheines Wasser
project raised awareness of the importance of his research and sponsorship for the University of Furtwangen to purchase vital water analysis equipment. During the 28-day record breaking marathon swim, Prof Dr Fath collected water samples from the Rhine for analysis at the University of Furtwangen and other research institutions. The compounds analyzed from the Rhine included pesticides, pharmaceuticals and sweeteners.
Here are Prof Dr Fath's Lab Essentials, the technology he couldn't do without:
1. 4000 QTRAP® LC/MS/MS System
from AB SCIEX
2. Clarus GC/MS

Pie in the Sky?
Photo By Photo by Randall Hamasaki, courtesy of THE University of Hawaii
Blueberries are often associated with cooler growing climates, but early tests on the Big Island are proving that the crop may have a future here in Hawaii. In February 2007, Dr. Stuart T. Nakamoto, of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at UH Manoa, and his team installed two test fields, one on the wet side of Waimea, and one on the dry side. "There must be dozens of varieties of blueberries and we wanted to see which one did best."
Challenges included a plant disease and birds. "These animals have never seen blueberries, but somehow they know they are delicious," explains Nakamoto. "We have to cover the whole field with nets." On the plus side, once the plants are established, they fruit in a year. And with fuel costs rising, locals are increasingly interested in Island-grown produce.
By May, the team finished its first harvest. "It's one of the reasons we are so excited about blueberries in Hawaii—they come in during different times than the Mainland," says Nakamoto. Like coffee, the berries are picked by hand. The researchers are analyzing which varieties produced when, the yield and the quality of the fruit.
Could a pick-your-own-berries farm be in our future? "The ultimate test will be if the farmers take it up, because there are a lot of costs involved. Our goal is to start a new industry."

Real-time transport for assured forwarding: An architecture for both unicast and multicast applications
This paper presents a summary of our work on developing an architecture for transporting real-time traffic (MPEG4 video In this paper) In IP networks that provide service differentiation. We target our architecture at Assured Forwarding (AF) style services. This architecture assumes loss differentiation in the network and the network's ability to provide ECN messages to the sender. We did not consider policing/shaping at the edge routers. Rather we considered a more general case where marking and flow control are provided at the senders. For this network model, we developed a rate adaptation algorithm that can operate in both unicast and multicast applications with a minor modification. The simulation results presented in this paper represent the multicast case. The results show how the rate adaptation algorithm accommodates different receivers with different networking capabilities and provides them with different qualities by taking advantage of the queue management capabilities of the AF service. We also show the results of testing this architecture with different AF queuing mechanisms, namely RIO and WRED.

The division of Hydromechanics and Coastal Engineering was founded in 1971 and since then it has been one of four departments of the Leichtweiß-Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources (LWI) at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. The main research areas at division of Hydromechanics and Coastal Engineering include: (i) sea waves and design of coastal structures, (ii) non-conventional and innovative coastal structures, (iii) offshore structures, (iv) sediment transport and coastal morphodynamics, (v) coastal protection against tsunami and (vi) reliability and risk-based design methods in coastal engineering.
The LWI is equipped with a hydraulic laboratory with a working area of 5600 m² in which coastal research issues are investigated by physical modelling, e.g. sea waves, coastal morphology and wave-induced loading of coastal structures. To perform hydraulic model studies, the division is equipped with various experimental facilities at different scales, where the 3D wave basin and twin-wave flumes represent the most important facilities. The range of the experimental installations at the institute and the Coastal Research Centre (FZK), in Hannover, reaches from a small demonstration model to one of the longest wave flumes in the world.
Within ECO-DIKE project, the LWI is mainly involved in the development and laboratory testing of green coastal revetments and sea dikes as well as the elaboration of recommendations for green sea dikes.

Coin Silver Teaspoon, Henry Biershing of Hagerstown, MD
A lovely American coin silver teaspoon by watchmaker and silversmith Henry Biershing of Hagerstown, Maryland. Biershing was born about 1789 and was working in Hagerstown between about 1809 and 1843, the year of his death. This spoon measures about 5 13/16 inches in length, and weighs about 16 grams. The spoon has an engraved period script monogram of "MF" and a clear maker's mark of H.BIERSHING in a serrated rectangle. Biershing's work is rarely seen, despite his relatively long career. A fine piece of Western Maryland silver, and some would argue Southern coin silver, given the sympathies of many of the inhabitants of that territory leading up to and during the Civil War.

Fables of the Amazon: Fun Lessons in Ecology
Natural history and ecology are fascinating and complex subjects. Fables of the Amazon make them a whole lot more fun.
Each of these 11 short stories is drawn from actual field observations made by the authors, and as such is scientifically accurate, often presenting little-known insight on the ecology and behaviour of its wildlife characters.
This comic is self-published, and was created in the early 2000s when my friend, mentor and field biologist colleague, Dr. Louise H. Emmons, suggested we collaborate on a completely different venture: a comic book of ecology. Drawing upon decades of field experience and her unique knowledge, Louise wrote most of the stories, and I did the artwork.

Recruiting participants for community conversations
The discussions that are part of community conversations should include participants who are able to represent the entire community.
Think about a community you have some involvement with. Spend a few moments writing down the sorts of people you could invite who would represent between them the whole community.
Show answer
You need to strive for a diversity of opinion, ethnicity, race and gender, and all the other features that reflect the make-up of the community.
Avoid inviting only the obvious people to the community conversation, for example, opinion leaders or health experts. Keep these people involved, but encourage all the participants to reach out and attract a larger, more representative group of the community. Try to involve community members who have more experience in life, because these people will know about the effects of community change and therefore will have a vested interest in the issues affecting the community. In addition, this will bring consistency and continuity to the community conversation meetings.

Diversity for the community conversation
Remember that by actively recruiting members who reflect the community's diversity in ethnicity, culture, perspectives, gender and age, you will achieve a richer dialogue from a more representative sample.

Molecular Scaffolding Could Recover Sight Loss Caused by Glaucoma
Fight for Sight is funding new research on molecular scaffolding, which could restore nerve connections between the eye and brain and repair glaucoma damage. Professors Keith Martin and James Fawcett and team, from the University of Cambridge, will be working with colleagues at the Centre for Eye Research Australia and University of Melbourne.
Specifically, the team will investigate a scaffolding molecule called protrudin, which they believe may help result in successful eye transplants through understanding its connection to the eye and brain. Professor Martin explained, "Despite all currently available treatments, around 10-15% of patients with glaucoma go blind in at least one eye during their lifetime. Our work aims to develop new strategies to repair the optic nerve."
Glaucoma causes harm to retinal ganglion cells. These cells have long axons that pass along the optic nerve. The team has identified protrudin as the strongest promoter of optic nerve regeneration. The hope is that better understanding of this scaffolding will result in connection of eye transplants to the brain via axon growth through the optic nerve.

Bumblebees outwit robotic spiders
By Elizabeth Mitchell
Science reporter, BBC News
Bumblebee and robotic crab spider
Bumblebee vs Robotic Crab Spider
Scientists have found that bumblebees learn from their "near-death" encounters with crab spiders and adapt their future foraging strategies.
They watched real bees in an artificial meadow - containing yellow "flowers" and robotic crab spiders.
Bees that had been "captured" spent longer inspecting flowers during subsequent foraging trips.
They may outwit the spiders - but at the expense of valuable foraging time, Current Biology reports.
Crab spiders lie in wait on flowers, ready to ambush their "most prized prey" - the bumblebee.
This cryptic predator has an amazing ability to change its colour to closely match the flower it is lurking on.
Scientists wanted to know if bumblebees adapt their foraging behaviour after encountering a crab spider.
Artificial meadow
This looped video shows how the robotic spiders capture the bees
Dr Thomas Ings and Professor Lars Chittka from the Queen Mary University in London created a "meadow" with artificial yellow flowers.
"The bees behave very much as they do in nature: they go from one flower to the other as they empty it of food," Dr Ings told BBC News.
"Dangerous" flowers harboured life-sized, robotic crab spiders with two remote-controlled, foam pincers.
"We thought it would be more difficult for the bees to learn to avoid camouflaged spiders," explained Dr Ings.
"However, the bees learned to avoid both types of spider equally well - and very quickly," he said.
A 3D video tracking system revealed that although the bees became very accurate at detecting the camouflaged spiders - they also became increasingly wary.
"When they come in to inspect flowers, they spend a little bit longer hovering in front of them when they know a camouflaged spider is present," said Dr Ings.
Bumblebe and crab spider
"Cautious" bumblebees spend longer inspecting flowers
With this "trade-off", the bees may lose valuable foraging time - but they reduce the risk of becoming the crab spider's next meal.
Their memory does not fade: the next day the bees rejected all yellow flowers - even those without spiders.
These "false alarms" may have a knock-on effect on pollination - bees may ignore a whole patch of flowers if they know it contains a high number of camouflaged spiders.
The bees that detected the highly visible (white) spiders did not change their flight behaviour.
It is unclear why the crab spider uses so much energy to change colour - especially when this strategy seems to make their prey more cautious.
"It might be that camouflage reduces the chances of the crab spiders being eaten by their own predators," suggested Dr Ings.

Create a new project
A Drone2Map project must be created before you can begin working with Drone2Map. First, you need to choose a project template.
Create a project using a project template
To create a project, complete the following steps:
 1. Start Drone2Map.
 2. Under Select Project Template, choose Rapid, 2D Mapping, 3D Mapping, Inspection or Custom, depending on the type of product you need to create.
 3. Select custom if you have set a default custom template in the New Project tab in Application Settings. To use a custom template that is not set as default, click Import Template and browse to the location of your D2M Template (.tmpl)
 4. Click Create.
 When you create your first project, a Drone2Map Projects folder is created in your Documents folder.
 5. Type a name for the new project in the Give Your Project A Name text box.
 6. Browse to a location on your local file system where you want the new project to be stored.
 The Drone2Map folder is populated by default. Leave the default, or browse to a new location.
 7. If necessary, click Edit and choose the correct coordinate system of your source imagery.
 8. The vertical units are derived from the units in the specified x,y coordinate system and will update automatically if changed.
 9. Choose the vertical reference for your images.
 See the Vertical reference page for help determining the correct inputs.
 10. Choose Add Folder or Add Images to browse to the location of the imagery to be processed.
 Input images can be either JPEG or TIFF files.
 - JPEG images as.jpg or.jpeg
 - Monochromatic or multiband TIFF (RGB, infrared, thermal) as.tif or.tiff
 Drone2Map checks the images for geolocation information. If your imagery does not have geolocation information embedded in the imagery, you'll be prompted to provide a file with this information. Browse to the file on your local system, and add the file with the GPS data. Choose whether the file will contain headers and the delimiter type. If necessary, map the field to the correct column in the geolocation file. Click OK. The selected images and geolocation information display.
 11. Click OK.
 The project is created and opened in the Drone2Map home screen. A project directory is created in your chosen location, which stores your project settings, processing outputs, and other information about your project.
 When you create a new project, Drone2Map checks for available disk space and lets you know if you may need to increase available disk space before processing. It is based on the number of images in the project and uses the following parameters:
 - Less than 100 images = 10 GB of available space
 - Between 100 and 500 images = 20 GB of available space
 - Between 500 and 2,000 images = 40 GB of available space
 - More than 2,000 images = 80 GB of available space
 If you have less than 10 GB of available space, you will see the following message: Less than 10GB disk space is available. It is recommended to increase available disk space to at least 10GB before processing.
Import template
If you have exported a Drone2Map template during a previous Drone2Map session, you can import that template to quickly create a new project using your specific processing options and outputs. To use your Drone2Map template to create a new project, complete the following steps:
 1. Open Drone2Map.
 2. Under Select Project Template, choose Import template.
 3. Browse to your stored Drone2Map template, select it, and click Open.
 Follow the rest of this topic to finish creating your new project.
Geolocation file information
If your images contain GPS positions, Drone2Map automatically reads them, and a geolocation file is not needed. If the images do not contain the image GPS position, a geolocation file is needed. The geolocation file delivered by any camera or GPS system can be edited so it's compatible with Drone2Map.
Close project
To close an open Drone2Map project, click the Close Project button on the ribbon. You will only see the Close Project option when an active project is open.

The Wikipedia entry for Lapis Niger mentions that the inscription was written in boustrophedon, alternating reading direction between every line. This inscription is far from complete. Are there Latin inscriptions that were written in boustrophedon that have have (essentially) completely survived to us?
I could not find examples of Latin inscriptions in boustrophedon besides the one I mentioned, probably because I am not familiar with any inscription databases. What I want is a good example or two, not necessarily a full listing of all known inscriptions (if there are many). I don't mind if an example inscription is short, but it should have at least two lines, of course.

 The Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, known as CIL, is online cil.bbaw.de/cil_en/index_en.html This is the ultimate collection of inscriptions in Latin (not completely digitized though, there are 30 volumes). Caveat: it needs some training how to use it. – Alex B. Mar 13 '16 at 13:03
 - _USER_., thanks! I had heard of CIL but had never seen it online. Is it possible to search it for boustrophedon inscriptions? I can't see how to do that. – Joonas Ilmavirta Mar 13 '16 at 13:21
 - I thought to remember my teacher mention that TETEROROMAMANUNUDADATETELALATETE was not only confusing (ore more elaboratela: onomatopoetic representation of barbaric language) by its lack of white space or letter case or interpunction in its original, but additionally confusing when written as boustrophedron. But perhaps this does not imply that the origianl was written that way... – Hagen von Eitzen May 1 '20 at 10:28
Since this is not exactly my area of expertise, I will quote Rex Wallace (Wallace 2011).
He argues that the earliest Latin inscriptions were written from right to left and from left to right (p. 22). He mentions three examples of right-to-left inscriptions in Latin: the Vetusia inscription (ET La 2.1) and the Fibula Praenestina (CIL I².3). Not everyone agrees whether the language of the Vetusia inscription should be considered Latin, though, and the authenticity of the Fibula Praenestina gets questioned from time to time (the artifact, not the text).
Note: Michael Weiss writes, in the new, second edition of his Outline of the Historical and Comparative Grammar of Latin (2020),
"New scientific investigation with a scanning electron microscope by Edilberto Formigli and Daniela Ferro (2014) has now shown beyond a reasonable doubt that both the fibula and its inscription are ancient" (Weiss 2020: 24, ft. 2).
The third example is the bronze Fucine Lake inscription (CIL I².5), which was found in 1877 but is lost now. Clackson and Horrocks 2007/2011 give its text in a new version proposed in Crawford 2006.
This is what it looks like in CIL (de visu, I took the picture myself):
Most importantly, Wallace observes that
"By the middle of the republican period, however, writers had settled on left-to-right direction as the norm, and almost all Latin inscriptions after this date are written in this manner. Inscriptions in other formats, such as boustrophendon, appear rather infrequently" (Wallace 2011: 22).
Also note that there is a difference between boustrophedon (the direction of writing alternates) and sinistroverse (the direction of writing is right-to-left), e.g. a bronze tablet from Falerii Novi (CIL I² 365); please follow the link to see it, since it is copyrighted. Here's the glossed text, from Clackson and Horrocks:
enter image description here
Clackson and Horrocks 2007 argue it is written in Latin and not Faliscan (contrary to what Getty Images says). As they put it, it is written in the Faliscan manner (sinistroverse), with Faliscan letter forms and mainly Faliscan orthography (see Clackson and Horrock 2007: 119-120 for further detail).
John Bodel (Bodel 2012) observes that by the end of the fifth BCE Latin texts "regularly ran left to right" (p. 82). He discusses two theories, neither of which, he argues, can be proven correct at this point.
According to the first theory, "[w]hen inscribed writing began to be used to label larger monuments, however, the fixed position of (generally) rectilinear objects necessitated accommodating a more limited range of viewing perspectives" (p. 83).
The second theory holds that Roman script is dextroverse because of the desire to make it look as much different as possible from sinistroverse ductus in Etruscan, due to rising political and cultural ambitions of Rome.

 StackExchange allows html formatting for superscripts and subscripts. 1 and 2 gives you superscript 1 and subscript 2 but it doesn't seem to work in comments. (_USER_.M.Weimer, you may also want to know this.) Does Wallace's article contain photographs or drawings of the inscriptions so that one could actually see the boustrophedon in action? I can't access it now; I'll see if I have better luck tomorrow when I'm on campus. And thanks, this is a good answer, and so is the other one! – Joonas Ilmavirta Mar 14 '16 at 0:21
We do in fact have a couple.
The best little collection of Old Latin inscriptions is found in Warmington's old Loeb, Remains of Old Latin IV: Archaic Inscriptions. It's a tiny bit out of date, but otherwise holds up well as an anthology of old inscriptions with a very good translation to go along with it.
Thumbing through quickly, I noticed a couple dedicatory inscriptions. They're generally easy to find in here, as there are arrows by the editor which show the direction of the text. The first I noticed was the second of the dedicatory inscriptions, which is known as the Lapis Fucinus or Caso Cantovios bronze (CIL 1².5, dated c. 300 BCE). Below is a screenshot to the online Loeb edition, since I cannot figure out how to accurately preserve formatting without it looking a mess.
Lapis Fucinus, example of boustrophedon
in English:
Caso Cantovios Aprufclanos set up pillars at the Esalican boundary in the city Casontonia; and his allies brought a sacred gift to Angitia on behalf of Marsian legions.
This seems to be the best example of a complete inscription in boustrophedon. We also have examples of sinistroverse (left-to-right) inscriptions, such as a Falerian bronze tablet (Warmington 71).
Falerian Bronze, example of sinistroverse
I can't find a quick picture of the inscription, but the arrows again show the direction of the inscription.
Edit: See Alex B.'s post for a picture of the text.

 Abstract
 Purpose: To investigate the effect of 360° laser retinopexy on the incidence of retinal detachment (RD) after silicone oil removal.
 Methods: In a prospective, randomized clinical trial, 303 patients (303 eyes) affected with primary (n=211) or recurring (n=92) rhegmatogenous RD treated by vitrectomy with silicone oil (1000 cSt) and endolaser photocoagulation of retinal breaks, were randomized to receive 360° laser retinopexy or not. After at least 4 months, in eyes with a fully attached retina, the silicone oil was removed. The incidence of RD after silicone oil removal was evaluated.
 Results: 151 eyes received 360° laser retinopexy (completed intraoperatively in 93 eyes and postoperatively in 58 eyes, in 9 of them after cataract extraction); 152 eyes served as controls. Silicone oil was removed from 139 laser-treated eyes (92.05%) and 129 controls (84.87%) (ns). In the first group, 12 eyes (8.63%) developed an RD posterior to laser treatment (including the macula), 3 eyes (2.16%) had a localized posterior RD (treated by laser), and 14 (10.07%) had an RD anterior to the laser treatment. In the control group, RD occurred in 27 eyes (20.93%)(P=0.007).
 Conclusions: 360° laser retinopexy reduces the incidence of RD after silicone oil removal; it should be completed intraoperatively.

And now, in English! Take a look at the mind map! As you can see, the symbol of Superman is used deliberately. The first idea that came to my mind when I was developing the map was to draw a really eye-catching symbol in the central position so that it can easily be associated with the tense given. Why Superman? The initial S is a really distinctive feature of the Present Simple Tense, since it is added to the verb used with the third person singular. In particular, English-learners will often forget to add –s when they use the Present Simple. The central drawing is here to remind the visual types of learners not to forget the most specific fact concerning the grammatical form. As you can see, the purple branch gives a clear illustration of the positive form of the verb given. The ant here represents plural since ants are numberless insects.

The only drawback of the PECL extension with respect to a pure PHP implementation is that you cannot select yourself where the database is. So, if you get a new version of the database, you need to put in the standard place and you may need root access to do so.

Accounting Information Gathering System for Grid Environment
Grid computing represents the fundamental computing shift from a localized resource computing model to a fully-distributed virtual organization with shared resources. Accounting is one of the main obstacles to widespread adoption of the grid. Accounting has until recently, been a sparsely-addressed problem, particularly in practice. In this paper, we design and implement the accounting information gathering system. Implemented system is based on OGSA, following GSAX framework of RUS-WG in GGF. And the schema of gathered and serviced accounting information is following Usage Record Fields of UR-WG in GGF. Also, the accounting information integrating and monitoring tool for system management in the grid environment are implemented.

'http_cache_middleware_vary': RequestVary( environ=['wsgi.url_scheme']) } Request Vary ~~~~~~~~~~~~ :py:class:'~wheezy.http.cacheprofile.RequestVary' is designed to compose a key depending on number of values, including: headers, query, form and environ. It always varies by request method and path. Here is a list of arguments that can be passed during initialization: * ''query'' - a list of request url query items. * ''form'' - a list of form items submitted via http POST method. * ''environ'' - a list of items from environ. The following example will vary incoming request by request url query parameter 'q':: request_vary = RequestVary(query=['q']) Note that you can vary by HTTP headers via environ names.

In a previous JS Link / CSR post we covered how to handle what is displayed in a web part when there are no items to show. SharePoint's default message is an ambiguous:
"There are no items to show in this view of the [listname] list"
Not an awesome user experience. Something a little more contextually relevant might be more helpful to users – either in a simple list view, or in a more complicated solution.
A PowerApps Gallery control isn't any better – merely showing a blank record. The Data Table control, on the other hand, has a handy 'NoDataText' property that can be configured to display a message when the control is empty.
So, what do we do when using Gallery controls – until a 'NoDataText' property is added and/or the Data Table control allows for more configuration options? As is the answer with many things in PowerApps: We use a formula.
Using an appropriate text field control within a Gallery control, we can replace the Text property with a formula like the following:
If(CountRows([_List Name_])=0,"[_Put your message here_]", ThisItem.Title)
For a SharePoint list named: DefaultList you get the following:
If(CountRows(DefaultList)=0,"Nothing to see here", ThisItem.Title)
The 'CountRows' function as you might guess returns the number of rows in the list.
The 'If' function tells the control to set the displayed value of the control to "Nothing to see here" if the condition (there are 0 rows) evaluates to 'true'. If not, the value of the control is ThisItem.Title – the normal field value we would expect in the control. The text is only displayed when there are no items in the list.

We met at the SP Conference 2017 in Chicago. I have only attended the last 2 conferences, and always feel like I have learned something from your presentation! Thank you. However, I am still new to SharePoint Online, starting to build our Intranet. I used SP Designer before with SP10, but now it is built into SP Online and it's not quite the same. I do not know how to get to the ASP code, how to download the pages to modify them. Is there another software we could use to do more of the development and programming to customize pages? I have not been lucky at finding what I need and how to set up a development environment to customize the web code. Could you please steer me in the right direction? Thanks!

What is a Derrick Operator?
Table of Contents
A derrick operator is closely related to that of a rigger, or rig technician. The job is defined as a worker who erects, operates, and positions a derrick, and inspects, maintains, and services all the derrick components. The derrick operator works on construction sites, or on drilling rigs for the oil and gas industry. An oil derrick manages the drilling rigs, first digging an initial hole for an oil or gas well, then forcing the drill pipe deep into the earth, creating a bore hole. Pumps are then operated by the rig derrick to circulate mud and extract oil and gas. Derrick operators working in construction and shipping may be classified as crane and tower operators, using guy derricks equipped with cables and booms to move heavy materials and equipment.
The operator manages all aspects of derrick machinery. This includes guiding the pipe lengths, controlling drilling fluid, monitoring operation of the drill system, and ensuring the pumps are working correctly. They operate the electric or gas-powered components of the derrick, move the cables and pulleys and levers necessary to move products, equipment or materials onto and around the site. The derrick operator also must read and monitor console readings.
What does a Derrick Operator do?
The derrick operator must understand how the derrick is designed and know how to operate and maintain it. The operator must know how to position the derrick properly to ensure that drilling is done in the right location. In managing the derrick, many tasks are required of the operator. This includes positioning the pipes, guiding them into the elevators, making sure they remain steady, and keeping all elements of the derrick aligned. They must set up the pumps to remove drilling sediment, and monitor pumping circulation.
A key component of the drilling process is drilling mud, which is pumped into the bore hole. The derrick operator must know how to mix the mud and water and chemicals to create the proper mud viscosity. He or she listens to the pumps and must recognize the signs that they are operating properly and vibrating correctly. Mud reports must be prepared and chemical additives balanced. Mud flow must be monitored and logged.
The derrick operator also inspects the derrick, using climbing devices and harnesses, and must check for any flaws or potential problems. Inspections may need to be done from the derrick platform and the operator must handle sections of the drill string assembly during drilling. The operator keeps the derrick clean and the machinery properly lubricated. Often he or she serves as the crew boss, directing others in keeping the operations of the oil derrick running smoothly and safely. Good record keeping is an important part of the job, since all derrick activities must be carefully recorded.
A derrick operator should enjoy working with machinery and equipment, and should be comfortable working at heights and in potentially dangerous environments. Derrick operators have a higher than average rate of injury, so particular attention must be paid to personal care and obeying safety regulations.
Other personal characteristics important for a derrick operator include:
- good depth perception and eye-hand coordination
- good teamwork and interpersonal skills
- leadership and management abilities
- attention to detail
- physical strength and stamina
- mechanical aptitude and precision measuring
- good vision and hearing
- understanding of safety regulations

What is the workplace of a Derrick Operator like?
Derrick operators work around the world in many locations, and travel is often part of the job. The workplace can include offshore oil platforms where you are responsible for drilling deep under the ocean into the ocean floor. Many oil derricks are in remote northern locations, or places in the middle east. Work is generally outdoors and sometimes means dealing with extreme weather conditions, such as heat or cold. The noise from machinery is extremely loud and constant, and communication often is done by means of hand signals or technology. Offshore operations often require a greater level of experience than land work.
Safety is essential and the workplace safety rules must be understood and followed at all times. Work may be seasonal and involve extensive shift work, split shifts, or working around the clock. Workers often are required to live onsite for long periods of time in work camps, and work long shifts followed by extended leave periods.

 12. How about some more details on the 500 Abarth's engine.
 1.4 16v petrol Turbo engine that delivers a maximum power of 135 bhp (99 Kw) at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 206 Nm at 3000 rpm in 'Sport' mode (in 'Normal' mode, the torque remains 180 Nm at 2500 rpm).
 The engine is a 1368 cm3 4 cylinder 16 valve unit (turbo charged with a fixed geometry IHI RHF3-P turbocharger) that delivers exhilarating performance. Top speed is 205 km/h while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in just 7.9 seconds. This is partly achieved by the overboost function, activated by the 'Sport' button that modulates control unit mapping and turbo pressure in addition to load on the steering wheel.
 The Abarth's engine development was oversaw by Paolo Martinelli, head of the Petrol Engine Development division at Fiat Powertrain Technology and previously head of Scuderia Ferrari's Engine Department from 1994 to 2006 (who was responsible for developing the Ferrari V10 Formula One engines that won 6 constructor championships).

 13. What are the exterior differences between a normal Fiat 500 and a Fiat 500 Abarth?
 The front end makes a specific statement that the 500 Abarth is an out-and-out GT: the three-part pattern formed by the air intakes comprises a central intake that is larger than on the basic model, and an upper slot (above the number plates) that is also wider. The two symmetrical 'nostrils' on either side of the bumpers correspond exactly to the position of two corresponding intercoolers that can be seen through the openings and are there to ensure air is able to flow in and out.
 The front end bumper cap has been shifted forward to create the space needed for the turbocharger. This makes the side profile of the 500 Abarth more pronounced and striking in pitch-perfect Abarth tradition: on the 850 TC and 1000 TC models, no-nonsense external manifolds were a recognizable feature of the brand. The Abarth logo 'floats' on a finned surface that acts as an additional air intake.
 A special bumper, aerodynamic extractor, twin exhaust terminal and tailgate spoiler that give it a sporting look but also excellent aerodynamic performance. A scorpion logo is printed above the silencer, just as on the historical Abarth exhausts.
 The wheel rims, available in 16 and 17 inch sizes, come in different styles: from multi-spoked rims to rims bordered by holes.

 14. What are the differences between the interiors of the Fiat 500 and the 500 Abarth?
 The out-and-out racing interiors on the 500 Abarth feature specific instruments and an analogue pressure gauge used to measure the turbo pressure. The pressure gauge contains a 'GSI' (Gear Shift Indicator) that turns on an LED to encourage the driver to shift gear.
 The main gauge, with sporting graphics, is lipped on top to offer further protection against glare while the three-spoke steering wheel incorporates molded grips for the thumbs and is leveled off at the base to ensure increased passenger room and space for adjustment.
 The aluminum pedals with rubber inserts also reveal a clear racing vocation, as does the gear knob (leather trimmed with a more ergonomic grip for sporty use) and handbrake lever grip (also in leather).
 The seats with head restraints built into the back rest also reveal a special Abarth design with a wraparound configuration in order to hold the body tightly in position even when corner

The Whiskered Auklet, Aethia pygmaea, is a small seabird of the auk family. It has a more restricted range than other members of its genus, Aethia, living only around the Aleutian Islands and on some islands off Siberia (like Commander Islands), and breeding on these islands. It is one of the smallest alcids, only the closely related Least Auklet being smaller. Its name is derived from the long white feathers on its face that are part of its breeding plumage.

Mining Publication: Technology News 453 - Navigation and Control of Continuous Mining Systems for Coal Mining
The primary focus of the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) is to make mining safer and more healthful for mine workers. The USBM research program is developing technology that will allow computer-assisted operation of mechanized equipment normally used in underground room-and-pillar coal mining, while permitting workers to be located away from the hazardous coal extraction area (the face). Advanced navigation and control technologies are being developed for underground room-and-pillar and highwall coal mining that can be applied to commercially available mining equipment. The technology being developed uses off-the-shelf components, minimizing the effort required to adapt it to mining equipment. Because the new developments are completely modular, only the modules required in a particular application need be used on the system.

Praspel and the Realistic Domains
Praspel (PHP Realistic Annotation and Specification Language) is a formal specification language for PHP. It is based on the Design-by-Contract paradigm and uses preconditions, postconditions, invariants etc. Specifications are written in the comments of the PHP code. Praspel is used for manual, automated or automatic software validation and verification.
This language is inspired by JML but the difference is in the way to specify the data. PHP is dynamically and weakly typed. To specify the data, Praspel relies on realistic domains: Structures allowing to validate and generate data, with the ability to compose them to represent more complex data. Realistic domains are implemented in the Hoa\Realdom library.
Data generators
A contract can be used to automatically generate unit tests. A test is constitued of 2 parts: Test data, and an oracle. Test data are crucial since it must reflect "realistic" data as much as possible, and being to generate data at the limits is also very important. Realistic Domains is an answer to this problem by being able to generate integers, reals, strings (based on regular expressions or grammars for instance), arrays (based on a constraint solver) or objects, for the PHP language types. Thus, it is possible to combine these realistic domains to generate more sophisticated data (like dates, object models etc.).
Contract Coverage Criteria
The contract language can be evaluated to validate and verify data manipulated by the program on one hand. On the other hand, we have algorithms able to automatically generate test data from a piece of a contract. In order to ensure whether the contract is correctly covered, we have defined several contract coverage criteria.
Thus, we are able to generate unit test suites satisfying these contract coverage criteria, and thus ensuring that generated unit test suites reflect all the behavior expressed in the contract.
Research papers
This language is the result of several research papers, journals and PhD thesis.
