How to build a fence: instructions to get a garden wooden fence with wooden posts or pallets to recycle.
Before you seehow to build a fenceit is good to make some clarifications on the wood to choose.
Which wood to choose for a DIY fence?
Wood for outdoors is often treated with toxic materials, so it is advisable to make appropriate commercial choices. When purchasing, make sure that the chosen wood has been planed, milled, sanded and pressure impregnated in an autoclave with non-toxic and ecological mineral salts.
You canbuild a fencewith the classic platforms / platforms orpallet. In this case, it will be creative recycling but ... you will be forced to use chemical impregnants to make the wood of the pallets waterproof and long-lasting.
First we are dedicated to DIY with pallets and then we will see the general instructions forbuild a DIY garden fence.
How to build a pallet fence
With ipalletit's possiblebuild a fence do-it-yourself.The standard size pallets (80 x 120) will give you 5 slats of 120 cm each.
Based on these considerations, calculate the number ofpalletthat you will need to build thefence.
Here is what you need:
- Hammer and nails
- Jigsaw and sander
- Impregnating agent for wood
- Pencil and ruler
Disassemble the "pallet feet" using the crowbar. By feet we mean those three bases that allow the pallet to be supported.
Once the "feet" have been removed, remove the nails using the pincers. The nails should only be removed from the first two horizontal strips. The horizontal strip placed in the upper part must be removed and with it also the residual nails.
When you are finished, you will have to end up with a pallet made up of 6 vertical slats and only two horizontal slats, the ones that previously housed "the support feet of the pallet".
Repeat this process for all the platforms you intend to use to build thefence with pallets.
After you have finished, arm yourself with a pencil and ruler and trace the tips toDIY fence. Saw off the excess wood and trace with the pencil. At this stage you will need a jigsaw.
Finally, sand the wood using a wood sandpaper. Dust and, with a brush, start applying two coats of impregnating agent.
When the primer has dried, you can color the fences with the paint you prefer.
A jigsaw is nothing complicated to use! Indeed, it makes the jobs ofdo-it-yourself with wood easier to complete. These devices can be found in large shopping malls at prices around 60 - 80 euros. There are even more expensive ones!
On Amazon there are models starting from 35 - 40 euros. Among the various proposals, for the excellent value for money, I point out the Bosch Compact Easy jigsaw that can be bought for € 50.46 and free shipping.
For all information and to see other jigsaws on Amazon, I refer you to the page:Compact Easy jigsaw.
How to build a fence,what you need
In this first part, we will seehow to build a wooden fencethat is long-lasting. That's why we will have foundations built for every single post that you are going to bury.
- Crushed stone or inert material for foundations
- Detached, uprights, battens, transoms, poles….
- Carpenter nails
- Self-tapping wood screws with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 8 cm
- Finishing or staining varnish
You will need the classic work tools such as saw, hammer, screwdriver / drill, brushes and excavation tools for the foundations (shovel and / or spade).
How to build a fence, the preliminaries of the work
To facilitate your work, on the uprights, mark the position of the crossbeams and that of the ground. The posts are the posts that will be driven into the ground vertically. The crosspieces are those posts that will be placed vertically along yoursDIY wooden fence.
On the crossbeams, mark the position of the slats (uprights), spacing them as you wish.
How do you know how many battens (posts or posts) you will need?
A standard fence, for each 2 meter module, carries 2 side uprights (ideally two uprights with a section of 10 × 10 cm) and 13 battens 110 cm high (for a 110 cm high fence, 100 cm of batten and 10 cm of distance from the ground).
The crosspieces must be 210 cm long so as to cover the entire two-meter section and allow fixing to the two side uprights.
For each upright, dig a hole 50 cm deep and able to accommodate the entire diameter of the upright itself plus the foundations.
Each side of the hole should be approximately 30 cm if you have purchased 10 × 10 cm posts.
Fill the holes with 10 cm of inert foundation material (gravel, crushed stone…). Position and prop the uprights, pour the concrete keeping 5 cm below the ground level.
Before mounting to the posts, pre-assemble the batten sections by nailing the battens to two crossbeams, so that all battens are at the same height.
When the concrete is completely dry, screw the crosspieces to the uprights (crosspieces including slats!).
If necessary, brush the fence with a primer and, once dry, coat with a varnish or wood stain.

Medical doctors are real doctors just as doctors of chiropractic are real doctors. Both have earned degrees from a government accredited medical school or chiropractic college and both are licensed to practice. However, each specialty has a different focus for care and treatment of their patients.
Medical doctors treat the disease and its accompanying symptoms by studying the blood and utilizing medication as indicated.
Chiropractors, on the other hand, first see the person with a disease and strive to improve the integrity of the nervous system and reduce the causes of nerve interference while restoring appropriate body function.
These are obviously two quite differing philosophies but each is important. Visit a medical doctor for broken bones or a car accident. For chronic pain or a solution for wellness, chiropractic care can help you find health resolution.

Environmental toxins may be hurting North American eagles
New research indicates that bald and golden eagles in North America may be exposed to dangerously high levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are chemicals used in the production of a wide variety of textiles, plastics, and electronics.
Investigators analyzed the livers of 33 bald eagles and 7 golden eagles collected throughout Washington and Idaho, finding that eagles associated with large urban areas had the highest PBDE concentrations.
"The PBDE concentrations we observed in eagle livers suggest a range of exposure, from nearly no detection to concentrations that may be significant toxicologically," wrote the-authors of the Environmental Toxicology study. "More information is required to evaluate trends in exposure and accumulation in eagles in the northwest United States and whether trends or source areas differ regionally across North America."

. 34–41). For imagine that the benevolent demon Jerry Garcia wants Frank to play the banjo at the relevant time. Jerry would much prefer that Frank play the banjo on his own. But worried that Frank might elect not to play the banjo, Jerry covertly arranges things so as to manipulate Frank if the need arises. If Frank should show any indication that he will not play the banjo, Jerry will manipulate Frank so that Frank will play the banjo. Hence, when Frank does play the banjo uninfluenced by Jerry's possible intervention, he does so of his own free will. But he has neither regulative control, nor does he seem to be reasons-responsive, with respect to his banjo playing. Due to Jerry's presence, he cannot but play the banjo even if Jimi Hendrix were to ask Frank to play his guitar.
To alleviate the tension between a reasons-responsive theory and Frankfurt examples, Fischer argued that reasons-responsive compatibilism can be cast in such a way that it involves only guidance control. Consider the example with Frank, Jimi, and Jerry. Frank did not have regulative control over his playing the banjo since Jerry's presence ensured that Frank play the banjo even if Jimi were to ask Frank to play his guitar. The scenario in which Jimi asks Frank not to play his banjo is one that Frank normally would find to be a compelling reason to refrain from his banjo playing. Hence, by his own lights, Frank would find Jimi's request compelling. Yet, due to Jerry's presence, Frank is not responsive to such a weighty reason. What would be required to illustrate responsiveness would be to subtract Jerry from the scenario. This would do the trick. So suppose that Frank plays the banjo of his own free will, even with Jerry passively standing by. How can it be shown that Frank's conduct was, in some manner, reasons-responsive? How can it be shown that what he actually did was in response to a reason? Well, if Jimi Hendrix had asked Frank not to play the banjo but the guitar instead, and if Jerry's presence were to be subtracted from the situation, then Frank would respond to Jimi's request and play the guitar and not the banjo. This shows that Frank does play the banjo of his own free will even in the actual situation in which Jerry is passively standing by.
5.5.3 A Mechanism-Based Reasons-Responsive Theory
Illustrating reasons-responsiveness in a Frankfurt example does require recognizing counterfactual conditions in which an agent acts otherwise in response to reasons. But in a Frankfurt example, one has to subtract from those conditions the presence of the ensuring conditions (the counterfactual intervener) designed to guarantee that the agent not act otherwise. How can this move be legitimate? How is it not just an arbitrary addendum to cram together two compatibilist themes that otherwise appear to be at odds (reasons-responsiveness and Frankfurt examples)? It is not arbitrary, and here is why. Think about what happens in the actual scenario of a Frankfurt example. As things unfold, the demon is inactive. The agent acts for her own reasons. But now, focusing solely on what the agent does in this actual scenario, and the reasons that give her a basis for doing what she does, consider what deliberative features of her agency played the casual role in the actual sequence of events bringing about her action. To capture what features of deliberative agency do play a role in the actual causal sequence of an agent's action, not every element of the agent seems to be involved in the process. For instance, in the example above, in playing the banjo of his own free will, Frank might have a large range of beliefs and desires that is entirely irrelevant to the range that did play a causal role in his action. Frank might have believed that chickens are both feathered and not toasters, and he might have desired that his toenails be painted purple. But neither of those elements of his psychological state needed to play a role in the sorts of factors that did lead him to play the banjo. So, just fix upon whatever constitutes that narrower range of agential characteristics within the wider spectrum of all of the features that made up Frank Zappa, the agent. Since it is only that narrow spectrum that we shall now identify with the causal production of Frank's conduct, just call it the mechanism of his action.
Once we have located the mechanism of action that is at work in the actual causal sequence of a Frankfurt example, we can turn our attention to understanding the dispositional features of it as a casual mechanism. If other reasons bear upon it, then it would be sensitive to some of those reasons. It would produce different conduct in some reasonable range of cases. If it would, then that very mechanism is responsive to reasons. Confirming that that very mechanism is responsive to reasons would not merely illustrate that, in scenarios other than the actual, the agent acts upon a mechanism sensitive to reasons. It would also illustrate that in the Frankfurt scenario in which the agent really does act, what does play a role in the actual causal sequence of her action is some feature of her agency (a mechanism) that itself is in fact a response to a reason.
Fischer offers an actual-sequence, mechanism-based, reasons-responsive analysis of guidance control. He maintains that his analysis of guidance control is compatible with determinism. According to Fischer, an agent, and the mechanism of her action, can be entirely determined in the actual sequence of events in which she acts. Yet the actual manner in which her mechanism responds to reasons could be appropriately sensitive to reasons such that, if different reasons were to bear upon it, it would respond differently, and the agent whose mechanism it is would act differently than she does act.
5.5.4 Assessing Reasons-Responsive Compatibilism
How might a reasons-responsive approach compare with a view like Frankfurt's hierarchical model? To demarcate the relevant wants issuing in freely willed conduct, Frankfurt needed to postulate a higher order of willing into which effective desires meshed. Only then could Frankfurt help compatibilists distinguish freedom-undermining wants (such as those involved in compulsive conduct) from freedom-conferring wants. Reasons-responsiveness attempts to fix this sort of problem by different means. Instead of postulating a hierarchical relation between different sorts of wants or desires, it instead gives a dispositional analysis of the wants' or desires' (the reasons') sensitivity to rational considerations. The differences might well yield different ways of treating some cases. For example, a willing addict would not be reasons-responsive and so would not take the drug of her own free will according to a reasons-responsive compatibilist. But according to Frankfurt, a willing addict does take the drug of her own free will.
How might a mechanism-based reasons-responsive theory satisfy a source model of control? A view such as Fischer's might be at a disadvantage. It is possible that a reasons-responsive mechanism could be unhitched from the agent whom it affects. So it is an open question whether or not Fischer's compatibilist position offers as rich an account of the source of an agent's action as does a real self view such as Frankfurt's. Of course, if Fischer is able to advance an ownership condition that does anchor an agent's reasons-responsive mechanism to the agent's self, then Fischer's view will not only do the work that Frankfurt's does in accommodating a source model of control (linking a freely willed action to a real self), it will also do the sort of work Wolf's does. That is, Fischer's view will then show how, as a source of her conduct, a morally responsible agent can be tightly linked to reasons (reasons Wolf identifies under the heading, "the True and the Good").
How does Fischer's view stack up against the Source Incompatibilist Argument? The challenge Fischer faces here is the same as that faced by Frankfurt and Wolf. The source incompatibilist maintains that it is a necessary condition of free will that one be an ultimate source of her action, and determinism is incompatible with one's being an ultimate source of her action (see section 2.2). The compatibilist's task is to show that her treatment of the source of an agent's conduct is sufficient for free will. But the source incompatibilist will point to manipulation cases that suggest that some causal histories giving rise to compatibilist-friendly psychological structures, such as reasons-responsive mechanisms, are freedom and responsibility undermining. If so, then why is determinism any different from a manipulation case? The burden, it seems, is on the compatibilist to show how it is that manipulation cases differ from a normal deterministic history. The compatibilist's only other strategy is simply to deny that the pertinent manipulated agents are not free and morally responsible.
For further treatment of the reasons-responsive approach, see sections B and C of supplement
It would simply be misleading not to mention Strawsonian compatibilism amongst the views characterizing contemporary compatibilism. The secondary literature devoted to it proves that it is still alive and well in contemporary debate.
Several contemporary philosophers have advanced Strawsonian themes. For instance, John Martin Fischer and Mark Ravizza hold that an account of guidance control aids in providing the conditions of application for the concept of moral responsibility, a concept that they maintain is Strawsonian (1998, pp.1–27). Fischer and Ravizza intend their Strawsonian theory as an amendment to Strawson's suggestion that moral responsibility is to be associated with the reactions of those within the moral community to members of the community. Fischer and Ravizza advise that moral responsibility be developed by thinking in terms of the propriety conditions for the morally reactive attitudes. This amendment would have it that a moral community could respond to a

Investigating the effect of changes in Signals, Noise and Agent Types in Cascade Models
AbstractSmith and SÃ¸renson (2002) depart from Bikhchandani, Hirshleifer and Welshâ€™s (1999) herding framework in three ways; non-discrete signals, noise and multiple rational agent types. They refer to the standard model of a single type with no noise as a â€œherdingâ€ model, and differentiate themselves by referring to the more general model as a â€œcascade.â€ They find that differing preferences lead to â€œconfounded learningâ€ whereby an incorrect equilibrium can arise regardless of the accuracy of the signal space, due to alternate actions taken due to preferences. In this paper we break down the three alterations from the BHW (1999) model, and analyze through agent based techniques the effect that each one has on the outcome, in an effort to determine which of the three different specifications has the greatest impact on herding and learning in the cascade model.

Bamboo comprises 90-100% of the Pandas diet and is collected from all over the Sichuan province to feed the bears insatiable appetite. In a previous study that we performed last year, the bamboo that was collected near the city center in comparison to samples taken near the CCRCGP Panda Base contained ~10 times the amount of total mercury. This could indicate that the pandas are consuming more mercury than is deemed acceptable by EPA standards. This could also provide insight into where the bamboo should be harvested from.
In a second study continued from the previous year, we are trying a simple technique and comparing the difference in total mercury between unwashed and washed bamboo. Maybe a simple hosing can make a difference and bring the consumption of mercury contaminated bamboo down to a minimum. We won't have these results until late in the year.

How Do I Add User Codes To A VISTA 20P, 21iP, 15P, 10P?
The procedure to add user codes to a Vista 20P, 21iP, 15P and 10P is the same, the difference is the number of user codes each control panel supports.
A master user code is the only code that can create secondary user codes.
Honeywell's factory default master code, which is user 02 on every panel mentioned above, is 1234. The master code can be changed by using the current master code or the installer code (Honeywell's factory default installer code is 4112). To change the master user code enter the existing 4 digit master code, followed by the numbers 8 0 2 plus the new 4 digit master code twice, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [02] + [4321] + [4321]. When you've successfully changed the user code, you will hear a short confirmation beep, letting you know the code has been updated. To use the Installer Code to change the Master Code, once you're outside programming, enter Installer Code+8+02+New 4 digit code, i.e., [4112] + [8] + [02] + [4321]. You will hear a brief confirmation beep once the code is changed.
In addition to the 4 digit user code, a user is assigned a 2 digit user number. The master code user number is 02, the installer code is user 01. Remembering the 2 digit user number is very important if you need to delete a user code.
To delete a secondary code, do the following: [Master Code] + [8] + [User Number] + [#] + [0]. You will receive a short confirmation beep letting you know the code has been deleted.
To add a secondary user code, enter the 4 digit master code followed by the number 8, plus the 2 digit user number (any number from 03 or higher) plus the 4 digit user code, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [03] + [5678]. The system will beep to confirm the user was added.
Each user code can be assigned an authority level. The authority level defines which system functions the user can or cannot do. The master code does not have an authority level. The available levels are as follows:
Level 0 = standard level, users can arm and disarm the system and bypass zones.
Level 1 = arm only - can arm the system but cannot disarm the system.
Level 2 = guest - can arm the system but can only disarm if the system was armed using this code.
Level 3 = duress code - when used the system will disarm normally but will send a silent signal to the central monitoring station informing them of a hostile situation and authorities will be contacted immediately,
Level 4 = Partition Master (Vista 20P, Vista 21iP only). A Partition Master has the same permissions as the System Master, but for their respective partition only. A Partition Master can change itself and any secondary code in its partition, but can not be used to change the System Master (User 02).
When creating a security code, you need to choose a 2 digit user number, a 4 digit user code, assign an authority level to that user, and determine any other attributes that should be assigned to it, such as assigning a keyfob to it.
To assign the authority level attribute - We will show assigning user 03 as a Guest Code (Authority Level 2.) Enter master code followed by the number 8, plus the 2 digit user number, the # sign plus 1 (attribute), plus the authority level, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [03] + [#] + [1] + [2]. You will get a short confirmation beep, letting you know the command has been successfully executed.
User numbers 03 and higher on the Vista 15P, and Vista 10P, and users 04 through 32, and 34 through 49 on the Vista 20P, and the Vista 21iP will automatically be assigned authority Level 0 = standard user, when created. See below for a list of all attributes that can be assigned to user codes.
The Vista 20P and 21iP support a total of 49 user codes.
The Vista 15P supports a total of 33 user codes.
The Vista 10P supports a total of 17 users codes.
The total number of user codes includes the master and installer codes.

An end user can only see the user codes on the system with Total Connect 2.0. If you are unsure what code is programmed to a user slot, you'll need to delete that user code and re-add it to be what you would like it to be.
I understand how to add or delete user codes. My problem is this: Ademco Vista 20p panel. Gave someone a user code, now I want to delete it. But I can't remember what "user number" I assigned to them. For example: 04, 05..ect. Anyone have a solution? Any way to list assigned user numbers?
Thanks Bryce, can anything be done to override this or am I looking at a whole new system?
It could be the fact that it is an ADT system and they probably have done a programming lockout preventing you from making changes to the system.
I have a Vista-10P from ADT, with WA10P-1.6 from 2005 PROM, with a 6160 Keypad, and no matter what I try, I'm unable to change the default ADT installer code. I'm able to get into programming, I enter the new code, but it never accepts it and just gives me a long beep each time. I was only able to change the Master code, but I also cannot program any user codes, I try various _TAG_ (04,05,06,07 etc) and none of them accept or make any sound after I enter in the new code. Could there be some type of system lockout because this is an ADT system that is preventing me from changing the installer code and adding additional users?
Ah yes, that means you switched it to a Partition 2 keypad and you must have had a cancelled alarm that had to be cleared on P2.
I figured it out, I accidentally changed the code for *189 and *190 from 2's to 1's...I imputed the correct numbers and that took care of the issue.
not sure if this helps but here are the few pages from the install guy with what he wrote in the manual... page 45 - 46
Here is what I see....
Try pressing Setup icon (Wrench and screw driver) and then Disp & Audio Setup icon and then your installer code and check if the EN50131 mode is enabled or disabled. If it's enabled, disable it and test again.
forgot the WA Prom.... it is WA20P - 9.18
I agree I should see something like this when after an alarm was triggered, however, this comes up without an alarm having been triggered and only setting the "away" button, and then returning to disarm the alarm. Before I changed the codes, I think I messed up the original programing by going into the console mode on the 6280 and then entering the (installer code) +(800), followed by (*) + (189) (1111) to enable any touchscreen keypads and ended it with (*)99 which programed all the keypads I guess and set something back to default maybe? Whatever I did, it now comes up for the master code as well so I must have changed the global setting for the "away" mode.
What is the 'WA' PROM number on your VISTA control panel? No matter what code you use when disarming after an alarm was triggered, you will see the Alarm Canceled message and need to disarm a second time to clear the "latched alarm" message. This is by design so that if you come home when the siren is going off and you disarm, you don't have to wonder which alarm had been activated. Also, if you disarm without an alarm having been triggered, no matter what code you use, you should not be seeing this message. Can you test another arm/disarm with user 3, without letting an alarm activation occur to see if you get this message?
Hi, I had three codes, the installer code, the master code, and one other that was set to user 03. I have deleted 03 code and created a new 03 code. Now, every time that I use the 03 code to disarm the system, a annoying "control panel message" screen pops up after the alarm turns off and the only way to remove the message is to input the code again and I would like to have this option/ screen pop up turned off. The master code doesn't have this screen pop after I input the disarm code, nor did the code that I deleted. Can anyone help solve this problem? I use the 6280 touch screens to program the Vista system. Please help!!

water vole
a large amphibious vole, Arvicola terrestris, of Eurasian river banks: family Cricetidae
Water Vole

also water rat (Arvicola terrestris), a mammal of the family Cricetidae of the order Rodentia. Its body measures up to 24 cm long and its tail, up to 15 cm. It is distributed everywhere in Europe and in northern Asia and parts of Southwest Asia. In the USSR it is found from the western borders to the Lena River and Lake Baikal in the east.
Most frequently the water vole is found along the banks of stagnant or slowly flowing bodies of water. It swims well and leads a semiaquatic mode of existence. Especially numerous in the floodlands along large rivers, the water vole lives in burrows dug in the river banks. In the summer it often builds a nest over the water in piles of dried reeds. The animal feeds on plants; besides wild plants it eats cabbage, potatoes, and root crops. In the winter it sometimes stores rhizomes, root crops, and tubers. Breeding from April to September, it has two or three litters per year, each containing from two to eight young. The number of water voles varies from year to year. High flooding, the drying up of bodies of water, epizootic diseases, and unfavorable weather cause their destruction. The water vole is harmful to field crops and in forestry and gardening. It is the main source of tularemic epizootics. The hides of water voles make second-rate fur.

What is the datatype SQL_VARIANT3
April 16, 2020 by Kenneth Fisher
The SQL_VARIANT data type is an interesting beast. It is a data type that can store most types of data. So a date, decimal, int, varchar etc. can be stored in this single data type. This sounds great right? Well there are a few issues here.
What data type is being stored?
First of all, because you can have so many different types of data, you don't necessarily know what type data you have in there. Fortunately there is an easy solution. You can use the function sql_variant_property. Like the other properties functions there are variety of properties you can look at but the one we need here is BaseType. Interestingly enough you can also use sql_variant_property to get information on most variables. (Not table variables for example.)
DECLARE @MyVariant sql_variant = 4; SELECT sql_variant_property(@MyVariant ,'basetype'); -- int DECLARE @MyInt INT = 4; SELECT sql_variant_property(@MyInt,'basetype'); -- int
While you can still implicitly convert other data types into sql_variant
-- This works because while @MyVariant is a varchar initially the -- int value of @MyInt gets implicitly converted to sql_variant -- and overwrites not just the value but the current base type -- of @MyVariant. DECLARE @MyVariant sql_variant = 'test'; DECLARE @MyInt int = 4; SET @MyVariant = @MyInt;
you can't convert it the other way around.
-- And this fails because even though the base type of both -- variables is varchar the actual data type of @MyVariant -- is sql_variant which won't implicitly convert to any -- other data type. DECLARE @MyVariant sql_variant = 'test'; DECLARE @MyInt int = 4; SET @MyInt = @MyVariant;
That means that if you are being at all careful then you need to explicitly convert your sql_variant variable, field, etc into whatever data type you are expecting. Which also means that (since you are being careful) you need to make use of try_convert or try_cast as well.
I should also point out that this can have some other interesting effects. For example the PRINT command expects a string (char, nchar, varchar, and nvarchar) so fails when it tries to implicitly convert the sql_variant.
DECLARE @MyVariant sql_variant = 'test'; PRINT @MyVariant;

Theory of timber connections with slender dowel type fasteners
- Svensson, Staffan, Munch-Andersen, Jørgen
- Wood material science and engineering 2018 v.13 no.1 pp. 7-15
- equations, fasteners, materials science, models, prediction, wood
- A theory on the lateral load-carrying capacity of timber connections with slender fasteners is presented. The base of the theory is the coupled mechanical phenomena acting in the connection, while the wood and the slender fastener deform and yield prior to failure. The objective is to derive a sufficient description of actions and responses which have determining influence on the load-carrying capacity of timber connections with slender fasteners. Model assumptions are discussed and made, but simplifications are left out. Even so, simple mathematical equations describing the lateral capacity are derived from mechanical equilibrium of the deformed fastener. The herein proposed theory is verified against tests. The tests were designed to vary the influence of isolated mechanical phenomenon as much as possible. The theory shows a very high accuracy and precision when predicting the load-carrying capacity of the tested connections.

All about riesling
Is that a bouquet of roses or freshly picked fruit you smell? Neither: it's a riesling wine. This popular white wine originates from Europe but is still a highly misunderstood variation. Most people associate riesling with sweet flavors that come from fruits such as nectarines, peaches, apples, apricots and pears to create a fruity and floral aroma. Riesling is one of the most versatile wines around.
Riesling history
While the exact origin is uncertain, most people believe riesling white wine began in Germany along the Rhine River. Named after a particular white grape called Riesling, the wine's first documented instance was in the 1400s. Today, it's still the main variety of wine produced in German-speaking regions of Europe.
Riesling production
The ideal environment is a cool climate with a slate soil because the grapes for this aromatic white wine ripen earlier than others. The grape-picking time determines the level of sweetness, as fully ripe grapes tend to be sweeter than normal or late-harvested grapes. Producers can also freeze the grapes and then process them to create ice wine.
Riesling flavor profile
Is it sweet? Is it dry? It's both. Riesling wine can be sweet or dry, subtle or strong, light or full. It's a chameleon wine of sorts, as its flavor profile depends on where it's grown. One overriding characteristic of riesling's flavor profile is that it is highly acidic.
Riesling food pairings
When it comes to pairing food with riesling, the spicier the better. So pour a glass and have sweet riesling with your spicy Indian curry. Or try a dry riesling with your grilled fish. Among all the varieties of wine, riesling is the most versatile. Maybe it's actually created with pure alchemy. Who knows? So raise a glass and thank the versatility gods for creating a wine you can drink with every kind of food. Shop Driz online or see if we've made it to your city.

Drawing shapes on an image
Imagine also provides a fully-featured drawing API, inspired by Python's PIL. To use the api, you need to get a drawer instance from you current image instance, using ImageInterface::draw() method.
$palette = new Imagine\Image\Palette\RGB();
$image = $imagine->create(new Box(400, 300), $palette->color('#000'));
 ->ellipse(new Point(200, 150), new Box(300, 225), $image->palette()->color('fff'));
The above example would draw an ellipse on a black 400x300px image, of white color. It would place the ellipse in the center of the image, and set its larger radius to 300px, with a smaller radius of 225px. You could also make the ellipse filled, by passing true as the last parameter
As you've noticed from DrawerInterface::text(), there is also Font class. This class is a simple value object, representing the font. To construct a font, you have to pass the $file string (path to font file), $size value (integer value, representing size points) and $color (Imagine\Image\Palette\Color\ColorInterface instance). After you have a font instance, you can use one of its three methods to inspect any of the values it's been constructed with:
 - ->getFile() - returns font file path
 - ->getSize() - returns integer size in points (e.g. 10pt = 10)
 - ->getColor() - returns Imagine\Image\Palette\Color\ColorInterface instance, representing current font color
 - ->box($string, $angle = 0) - returns Imagine\Image\BoxInterface instance, representing the estimated size of the $string at the given $angle on the image

Archbishop of York's Junior School
York, YO23 2QT
Wednesday 15 June at 1.30pm
Pupils from six primary schools in York are taking part in a series of workshops, entitled 'Parallel Stories: Parables for our Time', which explores the history, art and culture within the King James Bible, as part of its 400th anniversary, which takes place this year. The project is led by The National Centre for Early Music as part of the first York Festival of Ideas, a partnership between the NCEM, the University of York, York Theatre Royal, and York Museums Trust.
'Parallel Stories: Parables for our Time' involves Archbishop of York's Junior School, Westfield, New Earswick, Woodthorpe, Park Grove and Dunnington Primary Schools.
Becky Wirtz, Class Teacher at Archbishop of York's Junior School says: "Our Year 6 pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the creative approach these workshops have taken to examining the cultural background of the King James Version. Focusing on the parables within the Bible, discussing these stories and their meanings, and re-telling them in a modern setting for a present-day audience, has enabled the children to understand the Bible's significance today.
"They have also looked at how the parables are illustrated within the King James Version and have emulated the woodcutting techniques used in it to create their own illustrative prints. They are all very proud and excited that their prints will be bound into a large presentation book and displayed at the National Centre for Early Music as part of York Early Music Festival, running from 8-16 July 2011, and subsequently at Explore York Library Centre and York Minster Library as part of their A Book Fit for a King KJV exhibition."
The project, which is run by the National Centre for Early Music in partnership with the University of York Community and Volunteering Unit (Careers Service), also provides volunteering and professional development opportunities for students from the University of York. A group of eleven undergraduate and MA students from the English, Education, History of Art, and History departments have attended seminars and training sessions on the cultural, historical and artistic aspects of the project and have been responsible for carrying out workshops in the schools.
Laura Bootland and Elizabeth Cole, students from the University of York, said: "It has been a great experience to take such a central role in delivering the workshops in these schools and working with very enthusiastic and engaged groups of children and teachers. Having a real hands-on approach has provided an invaluable opportunity to develop our own teaching and leadership skills, while supporting the children's learning."

CMMS for Church Maintenance
July 2, 2020 jill Blog
Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmail
By Heather Wilkerson
When maintaining a church, it is important to be organized. A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) can be a very useful tool to help with this. Many think that this type of computer software is strictly for manufacturing plants, but that could not be further from the truth. Here are just a few ways a CMMS can be beneficial to your church.
Work Orders
Many times, when repair work is needed within a church, it is written down on a piece of paper or in an Excel spreadsheet, which can easily be lost or deleted. A CMMS allows users to enter work requests and work orders into the software itself, making it impossible to misplace them. For example, when the church vacuum needs to be repaired, instead of verbally asking a volunteer or handing them a sheet of paper, the work order can be entered into the CMMS and assigned to the correct volunteer. This can also help with getting new volunteers, since scheduling work allows people to see if more volunteers are needed or not to get everything done.
Scheduling Repairs
Since the majority of the people doing repairs within a church are volunteers, it can be difficult to track what needs done, who can do it, and when. This results in much needed repairs going uncompleted. CMMS software enables users to schedule needed repairs. Volunteers can also be assigned to the repairs and can configure the system so they receive an email notifying them when a repair is assigned to them.
Preventive maintenance tasks can also easily be scheduled in a CMMS. A preventive maintenance task is basically when certain things on a piece of equipment or location are checked or repaired on a regular basis so the asset does not break down.
Historical Data
CMMS software programs automatically keep historical data on locations and pieces of equipment, which can be very useful later on. This data can be gathered and used to make important decisions on repairs vs buying new. For example, if the outdoor sprinkler system keeps acting up, historical data can show the lifetime repair costs of the system. From there, church officials can decide whether it is less costly to keep repairing it or purchase a new system. Without the historical data, this would be quite difficult to determine.
Inventory Tracking
One of the most useful components of a CMMS is inventory tracking. Keeping close track of inventory items not only helps ensure items are on-hand at all times, but it also helps workers locate items quickly. For example, if a particular tool is needed to complete maintenance on a church vehicle, people can go into the CMMS, lookup the tool, and know exactly where it is. This helps cut down the time spent doing repairs, so more things can be completed.
In addition, knowing what tools and parts are on-hand prevents buying duplicates, which can save the facility money. Some CMMS systems also have automatic reordering, which means whenever an item gets below a certain number, a purchase request is automatically created for that item.
The ability to run reports within a CMMS is another excellent reason for a church to have one. Reports can show volunteers things like which work orders have been completed, which have not been, repair costs over a certain time period, and many other things. This data helps volunteers within the church stay organized and on top of repairs.
Along with the above listed advantages, having a mobile application version of a CMMS makes things even easier. Workers can take photos and attach them to work orders, right from their smartphone or tablet. Work orders can also be completed on mobile devices right after the work is done. Attachments, such as images and manuals, can also be viewed on mobile devices, which can really help get repairs done in a more timely fashion.
Churches all across the country can benefit from having a CMMS in place. This software can help track inventory, schedule repairs, and run valuable reports, among other things.

Attributes in Gramps

"The thinking behind dividing things into events and attributes was the following:
The attributes are for something permanent, or at least somewhat permanent: eye color, blood type, etc. Usually you would have not more than one of each attribute type for a person/family/etc.
In contrast, the events have a time frame associated with them. It does not have to be a fixed date, can be e.g. a span. So it is not unheard of people changing religion, property, and residence, etc. Each of those can be associated with the time period, and there can be many of the same type.
Does it make sense? I know this does not correspond 100% with GEDCOM, but we try to do what makes sense rather than just implementing a poorly written standard." [1] -- Gramps-user mailing list
In case the attribute needed is not present in the predefined selection list, it can be defined by typing its name in the attribute name field. There is no clear boundary between attributes and events. Some will prefer having "Occupation" as an attribute, with no timespan; others, or in other situations, might find using an event more convenient.

The roles of gaze, gesture and gender in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning.
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 14(2) pp. 158–165.
This paper investigates the role of gaze and gesture when subjects are collaboratively solving physics problems with a computer. The results from the study indicate that femals interacting together as pairs do use gaze significantly more than male pairs or those of mixed gender. There is evidence that gaze occurs during the planning stages of the problem solving activities and occurs more frequently by the speaker rather than the hearer during this phase. Mutual gazing occurs at this time too. The main finding is that differences in non-verbal communication strategies with respect to gender grouping effect not only the strategies that progress the collaborative process but more importantly also those that influence the understanding of the problem space. These results suggest the quality of video linkage will play an important role in collaborative problem solving for distance learners.

What is A Flood Vent?
Updated: Jun 25, 2019
Engineered flood vents protect residential houses and commercial buildings in floodplains by preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup that can destroy walls and foundations.
An Engineered Flood Vent:
- Relieves (rather than resists) hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls during a flood event. The flood vent must allow for the automatic entry and exit of flood waters without human intervention.
- Passively equalizes hydrostatic loads on enclosure walls below the BFE.
- Must allow bi-directional relief of the flood waters regardless of the direction of flow.
- Is a "wet floodproofing" technique.

New machine learning method generates unique faces for video game characters
Researchers from the Netease Fuxi AI Lab and the University of Michigan have created a machine learning method called MeInGame that can automatically generate faces by analyzing a single portrait.
We offer an automatic method for creating a character's face that predicts both face shape and texture from a single portrait. It can be used for most of the existing 3D games.
Research text
In order for 3D Morphing Face Models (3DMMs) to accurately reproduce the profile of a person, they must be trained on large sets of image and texture data.
Compiling these datasets can be quite time consuming. Also, such a system can only work stably with the regular loading of new data. To overcome this limitation, the authors of the work, Lin, Yuan and Zou, did not use generated photographs, but images of real people.
They first reconstructed the face based on a 3D face morphing model (3DMM) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and then transferred the shape of the 3D face onto a grid of templates. As a result, the network receives a face image and an unrolled UV texture map as input, and then it predicts the light factors.
The authors tested their deep learning technique in a series of experiments: they compared the quality of the game characters with other generated models.

text: In order to realize high-precision measurement of spatial dynamic angle, a spatial dynamic angle measurement method based on machine vision is proposed. A high-precision two-axis servo system is installed onto the measured target. When the spatial angle of the measured target is changed, the servo system outputs the pitch angle and the azimuth angle by identifying and tracking the cooperative target。According to the spatial coordinate system transformation，the angle change value of the measured target can be obtained. The measurement accuracy of the spatial angle will be influenced by the accuracy of the tracking cooperative target with the servo system. A cross-patterned target board is designed based on the measured distance and the imaging system. Several major algorithms of detection are summarized. Their merits and demerits are analyzed by identifying and locating the center of captured image. The captured images are compared by the servo system controlled with these algorithms. The measurement results are solved by spatial coordinate transformation. According to the experimental results, a fast detection algorithm of target center in the real-time image processing is selected. High accuracy and good real-time performance of this method in processing the target image is demonstrated by calculating and comparing the results of each image processing algorithm, which satisfies the measured requirement of space dynamic angle.

CITEC 1.204
JD-R theory is a theory about the causes of employee well-being and behaviors that can be used to predict a wide range of organizational outcomes.
Accordingly, employees are confronted with and proactively modify various job demands and resources, which consequently impact job strain and work engagement, and have an indirect effect on creativity, performance, etc.
In this presentation, I will discuss the basic propositions of JD-R theory, and discuss the available evidence.
The focus will particularly be on daily diary and experience sampling studies, to illustrate how mobile devices and technology can be used to study employees during work, while they are confronted with various external demands and resources.
Everyone is invited to join the talk.

Taiwan develops new crop enhancer
Taipei, Taiwan, February 24, 2008
Agriculture researchers at a government-run laboratory have proven the effects of a new eco-friendly crop enhancer in boosting the output of cultivated vegetables and improving land productivity, according to government sources in Taiwan.
Explaining the composition of the bio-enhancer, staffers at the Taoyuan District Agricultural Research and Extension Station under the Cabinet-level Council of Agriculture (COA) said they first carbonise bamboo stems left over by local farmers, and then grind the bamboo charcoal into particles to mix with other ingredients.
In field experiments, the bio-enhancer provides maximal effect at the ratio of 1,000 kg per hectare. However, when the amount exceeds 1,500 kg per hectare, the marginal effect decreases drastically, they said.
'At the optimal ratio, the output volume of lettuce is raised by 4 per cent,' said deputy director of the station Fu Yang-jen.
'Meanwhile, the enhancer can also purify farmland by absorbing toxic chemicals,' Fu explained.
The station researchers said bamboo charcoal has a high pH value, hence it can be used to neutralize acidic soil laced with fertilizer or pesticide residue to provide a more suitable environment for plant growth. Meanwhile, the numerous microscopic holes in charcoal particles also trap these chemicals.
According to COA tallies, most vegetable farmers in northern Taiwan use indoor cultivation facilities, covering a total of 250 hectares in the Keelung, Taipei, Taoyuan and Hsinchu areas. These facilities generate an annual vegetable output of 3,750 tons.
'If they overuse the fertilizer or pesticide, the secluded environment contains too high concentrations of these chemicals, hence the need for an eco-friendly crop enhancer that can raise output while purging the excessive chemicals to support sustainable agriculture,' Fu said. – TradeArabia News Service


Debugging NServiceBus in Visual Studio Code
Component: NServiceBus
This article describes how to configure Visual Studio Code (or "VS Code") to build an NServiceBus solution with multiple projects and debug multiple endpoints simultaneously.
NServiceBus versions 7 and above are designed to run on .NET Core, which means instead of using the full Visual Studio IDE, users can also use the cross-platform (and free) VS Code application to build systems with NServiceBus.
While Visual Studio contains specific support for .NET projects, VS Code is a more lightweight editor for any language, so some configuration is necessary for VS Code to know how to build and debug .NET projects. Because NServiceBus projects typically involve running multiple startup projects to test multiple endpoints simultaneously, a little extra configuration is needed.
Prerequisities
Configuration files
The build and debug system in VS Code is controlled by two files located in a .vscode directory at the project root:
 - .vscode/
 - launch.json
 - tasks.json
The launch.json file describes different projects within the solution and how to launch each one.
The tasks.json file describes actions to take, the most common of which is to build the code. These tasks can be configured to run before launching a configuration in launch.json.
Both of these files can be generated from within VS Code, but the default values will need some tweaks for NServiceBus solutions.
tasks.json
To create the initial file:
 1. Attempt to start debugging.
 2. Click Configure Task in the error dialog that appears.
 3. Select Create tasks.json from template.
 4. Select .NET Core.
The file created by VS Code may work as-is if the project contains only one solution file in the project's root directory.
The following tasks.json describes how to build the solution using dotnet build, only revealing the terminal if a problem is detected:
{
 "version": "2.0.0",
 "tasks": [
 {
 "label": "build",
 "command": "dotnet build ${workspaceFolder}/path/to/SolutionName.sln",
 "type": "shell",
 "group": "build",
 "presentation": {
 "reveal": "silent"
 }
 "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
 }
 ]
}
For an NServiceBus solution, use the content above, and adjust the path of the sln file.
For more information on tasks.json, see Visual Studio Code: Integrate with External Tools via Tasks.
launch.json
To create the initial file:
 1. In the Debug toolbar, click the No Configurations dropdown.
 2. Select Add Configuration.
 3. Select .NET Core.
The high-level structure of the launch.json file contains a collection of individual project objects in configurations and an optional compounds collection that lists multiple configurations that should be launched at the same time.
{
 "version": "0.2.0",
 "configurations: [
 ],
 "compounds": [
 ]
}
Console application
Here is an example configuration for an NServiceBus endpoint hosted as a console application:
{
 "name": "Sales",
 "type": "coreclr",
 "request": "launch",
 "preLaunchTask": "build",
 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/path/to/Sales/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Sales.dll",
 "args": [],
 "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/path/to/Sales",
 "stopAtEntry": false,
 "console": "externalTerminal"
}
Most of the values can be considered boilerplate, except for the program and cwd values, which should be adjusted for each project:
 - name: Provides a name that appears for the project in VS Code's Debug dropdown.
 - type: The value coreclr identifies the plugin that should handle debugging responsibilities.
 - request: The value launch means a new process will be started, rather than attaching to an existing process.
 - preLaunchTask: Indicates a task label from the tasks.json file. In this case, it ensures the solution is compiled before trying to launch it.
 - program: Identifies the DLL to use as the entry point.
 - args: Specifies any command-line arguments that are needed.
 - cwd: Specifies the current working directory for the launched dotnet process.
 - stopAtEntry: If set to true, the debugger will break at the entry point even when a breakpoint has not been set.
 - console: Set to externalTerminal to use external console windows rather than VS Code's built-in terminal. This is useful when running multiple NServiceBus endpoints.
Web application
For web application projects that need to launch a browser window, the configuration is a little more involved:
{
 "name": "EShop.UI",
 "type": "coreclr",
 "request": "launch",
 "preLaunchTask": "build",
 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/path/to/Website/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Website.dll",
 "args": [],
 "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/path/to/Website",
 "stopAtEntry": false,
 "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
 "launchBrowser": {
 "enabled": true,
 "args": "${auto-detect-url}",
 "windows": {
 "command": "cmd.exe",
 "args": "/C start ${auto-detect-url}"
 },
 "osx": {
 "command": "open"
 },
 "linux": {
 "command": "xdg-open"
 }
 },
 "env": {
 "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
 },
 "sourceFileMap": {
 "/Views": "${workspaceFolder}/path/to/Website/Views"
 }
}
Like the console example, most of the values are boilerplate, except for the program, cwd, and sourceFileMap values, which should be adjusted for each project:
 - internalConsoleOptions: Most solutions will only contain a single website project. If so, VS Code's integrated console can be used, as in this example. The internalConsoleOptions values then control whether the drawer for the internal console will become visible when debugging begins. The values neverOpen or openOnFirstSessionStart can also be used. In addition, it's possible to use the console property to launch an external console.
 - launchBrowser: Contains instructions for launching a browser window on a platform-specific basis.
 - env: Additional environment variables to pass to the application, including the common ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT variable that affects how an ASP.NET Core web application will read configuration values.
 - sourceFileMap: Additional source file mappings passed to the debugger, useful in this case to let the debugger know the path to MVC views.
Attaching to a process
It's also possible to start a process from a terminal and then attach the debugger to the process with this configuration:
{
 "name": ".NET Core Attach",
 "type": "coreclr",
 "request": "attach",
 "processId": "${command:pickProcess}"
}
Compounds
Running multiple NServiceBus endpoints together requires the compounds element, which identifies a name to appear in VS Code's Debug menu and a list of configuration names specified elsewhere in the file:
"compounds": [
 {
 "name": "Debug All",
 "configurations": [
 "Sales",
 "Billing",
 "Website"
 ]
 }
]
Complete example
This example shows an entire launch.json file with Sales and Billing endpoints plus a Website project, all in a directory named src beneath the project root:
{
 "version": "0.2.0",
 "configurations": [
 {
 "name": "Billing",
 "type": "coreclr",
 "request": "launch",
 "preLaunchTask": "build",
 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/Billing/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Billing.dll",
 "args": [],
 "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/src/Billing",
 "stopAtEntry": true,
 "console": "externalTerminal"
 },
 {
 "name": "Sales",
 "type": "coreclr",
 "request": "launch",
 "preLaunchTask": "build",
 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/Sales/bin/

SBIR Phase I: Monitoring Fire Hazards in Head Space of a Liquid Fuel Tank
Small Business Information
Southwest Sciences Inc
1570 Pacheco Street, E-11, Santa Fe, NM, 87505
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to develop an oxygen sensor for monitoring explosive mixtures in the head space (ullage) of an aircraft fuel tank. This sensor integrates technological advancements in micro-electronics such as digital signal processors, new vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, high sensitivity absorption spectroscopy, and the development of innovative shields to prevent liquid interferences of optical surfaces. The sensor is expected to detect oxygen concentrations between 5 to 21 percent at a rate of one sample per second, and to perform in conditions where the temperature range is -70 to 120 F and the pressure range is 100 to 760 Torr. The proposed sensor system will be initially compatible for aircraft fuel tanks and later modified for oil tankers and other potential applications. The successful completion of this program will lead to a rugged and miniaturized oxygen sensor system that is compatible with aircraft fuel tanks. Commercial and military aircraft will greatly benefit from this sensor since it increases their survivability. In addition, the sensor can monitor fuel tanks in oil tankers to prevent oil spillage due to explosions.
