What is BelSEFF?
The Belarus Sustainable Energy Finance Facility (BelSEFF) is a USD 50 million credit line initiated by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). BelSEFF provides dedicated credit lines to Belarusian participating banks for on-lending to private and public Belarusian companies. The Facility finances energy efficiency and small-scale renewable energy projects in eligible sectors.
What are the main types of projects that can be financed?
- Replacement of energy intensive production equipment and energy supply systems – compressors, boilers, ( installations of local cogeneration of electricity and heat ) in an enterprise, modernization of processes , implementation of advanced control systems of energy consumption.
- Modernization of commercial real estate facilities ( administrative , hotel, production buildings and premises, warehouses) – thermal insulation, replacement of windows and doors, heating and air condition systems, etc.
- Renewable energy sources – wind turbines (new), small hydro stations, burning of biomass for heat and/or electricity generation, production and use of biogas/landfill gas, use of geothermal and solar energy for heating and electricity production, use of heat pumps.
- Working capital for producers and suppliers of energy efficient equipment and materials – producers of energy efficient windows, thermal insulating and energy efficient construction materials, ventilation systems, .etc energy efficient production equipment ) etc.
- Investments into the creation, modernization and extension of production of energy efficient equipment and materials.
- Standard energy efficient equipment and technologies. Small loans (less than 400 thousand USD) can be approved through a simplified procedure based on the list of standard equipment and technologies ( LEME/LESI ).
What is LEME/LESI?
Small projects can be approved through a simplified procedure based on a list of standard equipment and technologies (List of Eligible Measures and Equipment or LEME / List of Eligible Suppliers and Installers or LESI). The purpose of this approach is to accelerate and simplify the approval procedure for small energy efficiency projects. LEME is a list of approved materials and equipment capable of providing at least 20% energy savings compared to the technological standards of the Belarusian market. The list includes equipment, which costs less than 400 thousand USD for a unit/package.Associated LESI list includes suppliers and installers of the equipment, which are authorized for carrying their activities in Belarus.More detailed information can be found in the section List of standard technologies being financed (LEME/LESI) .
What are the main requirements to the BelSEFF projects?
- Industry and commercial buildings projects have to achieve at least 20% energy savings per unit of output compared to the baseline as a result of the project implementation.
- Maximum increase of the capacity/productivity after replacement of the existing equipment is 2 times compared to the original capacity/productivity.
- Eligible renewable energy projects shall have a positive Net Present Value calculated over a ten-year period by using an 8% discount rate applied to the underlying cash flows denominated in hard currency.
- Purchase of second-hand equipment is forbidden unless otherwise is agreed by EBRD.
Which projects cannot be financed by BelSEFF?
BelSEFF only finances projects intended for investments into energy efficiency and renewable energy. The following are excluded even if the project relates to energy efficiency or renewable energy investments: companies engaged in the production, marketing, distribution (or similar activities) of tobacco, hard liquor, alcohol, gambling, weapons and other activities listed in the "Environmental and Social Exclusion list of the EBRD" , even though proposed projects concern energy efficiency or renewable energy.
How many projects were financed through BelSEFF so far?
As of 1 November 2017, 59 projects were financed by BelSEFF through four Belarussian partner banks for a total loan amount of almost $28.316 million. This includes 10 renewable energy projects.
What should I do if the technology/material I selected is not included in the BelSEFF List of Eligible Materials and Equipment?
The materials and equipment included on the BelSEFF List of Eligible Materials and Equipment (LEME) meet the specific energy savings and quality requirements of the BelSEFF Programme. If your preferred material or equipment is not included in our list, just send the technical data/specifications of materials/equipment and supplier details to us. We will examine/verify the equipment/material for compliance with BelSEFF requirements and, if suitable, will include them in our List.
Are there any restrictions on the country of origin of the proposed technology or equipment?
No, there are no such restrictions. The equipment can be produced both in Belarus and in any other country.
What are the loan conditions?
BelSEFF is disbursed through participating financing institutions (Participating Banks: Belinvestbank JSC , MTBankCJSC , Belgazprombank JSC , Bank BelVEB OJSC , BPS-Sberbank ). Every bank has its own internal policy for establishing clients' creditworthiness, interest rates, repayment conditions, collateral coverage, own participation etc. BelSEFF has no influence on the loan conditions offered by partner banks.
How can I apply for a BelSEFF loan?
There are two ways to apply:
- You can contact a BelSEFF partner bank, get advice on loan conditions, and fill in the necessary application forms. The BelSEFF partner banks will then liaise with the BelSEFF team to finalize your project documents.
- Alternatively, you may fill in the BelSEFF standard application form ( download here ) and e-mail it to the BelSEFF team. We will contact you and guide you through the process.
For additional information, please refer to the Application section .
Are any grants/ interest rate subsidies available for borrowers within BelSEFF?
No, the program does not provide such options.
We are not clients of any of the listed BelSEFF partner banks. Can we apply for a financing within BelSEFF?
Yes, you can. However, a loan within BelSEFF can only be provided by one of the five Belarusian partner banks. We propose you to contact the banks directly to start the negotiations. Alternatively, you can contact the BelSEFF team, we will perform a preliminary project assessment and assist you in liaising with the partner banks.
Is a major regional state controlled energy company eligible potential borrower?
The Framework does not target projects in the Power and Energy sector which is mainly state-owned. Only in exceptional cases, where the state-owned power or energy company is clearly commercially operating will it be considered for financing under the Framework.
What is the maximum project size for financing under the BelSEFF?
No individual loan for a project or a group of projects with any one borrower may exceed USD 5 million, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the EBRD. However, if a project or a group of projects exceeds USD 5 million, the Belarusian participating bank may complement the loan under the BelSEFF with own funds in order to finance such a project.
Is there a possibility to finance new facilities under BelSEFF? E.g. new logistic facility, which is to be equipped with an energy efficiency ventilation/cooling/heating equipment.
This facility is not for green field investments, thus investments in new production facilities are not included in the scope of the facility except for capacity expansion of existing production facilities. The capacity expansion should be less than double the current capacity.
Can a project include supply and installation of several items from LEME/LESI schedules, worth together more than USD 400 thousand?
Yes, in this case a borrower can opt for several loans under LEME/LESI approach or, alternatively consider a bigger single loan requiring an Energy Efficiency Assessment and potentially leading to better energy efficiency results.

As is well known, in the development process of program, the time consumed to remove and correct the error is usually greater than time spent in coding. Therefore, a friendly debug environment can save a lot of time. In this respect, VB.NET and SQL are two extremes that the former provides almost a perfect Debug environment, while the latter nearly provides no error debugging tool.
R language and esProc as two development tools for computation and analysis are both capable to debug to some degree. We will study on their differences in this respect.
Let's kick off by making ourselves familiar with the debugging environments of both R (take R Studio for example) and esProc from their respective interfaces:
R Studio Debugging Environment:
esProc's Debugging Environment
Let's compare the basic functions.
Break point: For R, the break point is set by inserting browser () into the codes. Users have to remove these statements manually once debugged, which seems to be back to the cherished old times of using BASIC to code when Windows was not invented, impressed us with a strong feeling of reminiscence. In those days, removing the stop break point statement is even an important job before releasing codes. By comparison, the break point style of esProc is similar to that of VB.NET and other alike modern programming languages. By clicking the button or pressing shortcut keys, the break point can be set to the cell in which the mouse cursor is located. This is nothing special.
Debug command: with the same style of break point, debug command of R is input from the console, including to resume running,n to go run the next statement, and Q to exit the debug mode. In addition, there are also functions like trace/set Break point/debug/undebug/stop.It is important to note that it would be best not to have any variable named after c, n, and Q in the codes. Otherwise, accidental conflicts will occur.
Regarding the procedure control, esProc is no different than VB.net and like programming languages for just requires click(s) on button or shortcut keys to implement, not requiring users to memorize any command, as we all know.
Variable watch: The variable watch window of R language is on the right, in which all current variables will be listed. On clicking it, a new window will prompt to display the value of this variable. Alternatively, R language users can also enter the fix(variable name) at the command line window as shown below. In the right bottom corner of esProc user interface, there is a similar variable list. Seldom do esProc users use this list because esProc does not require users to specially define the variable name. The name of cell is taken as the variable name by default, and thus users can simply click the cell to review the variable value.
One thing to notice is that R is friendly to display the variables of Frame format. However, it is comparatively not so friendly to support the irregularly-structured variables that we can say it is unreadable at all, as the below typical List for example:
esProc does a much better job in this respect. For the same data, in esProc, it is represented by drilling through the hyperlinks:
Then, let's compare some more advanced functions, and start from checking the Immediate Running first.
As for esProc, a cell will be calculated immediately and automatically once codes are entered into this cell. Therefore, the developers can view the execution result immediately and adjust the code for re-run on conditions. This style can speed up the development speed and lower the probability of errors, allowing the green hand to become familiar with it quickly. R Studio provides the similar means that more resembles the "immediate window" of VB, that is,user's type in codes at a command line window and run immediately. If it is run correctly, then copy the codes to the formal code section. Judging on the whole, R is less convenient than esProc in this respect.
Finally, let us discuss the function to debug the functions separately.
R users can use the debug(Function Name) to debug the functions separately and directly so as to modularize in development and implement the large-scale test. esProc users,on the contrary, are not allowed to debug the function separately, which is a pity more or less. However, the debug function of R language has not implemented the true "separate" test. Its working principle is actually to add a browser () command prior to the function to be debugged, still requiring running all codes before entering the function to debug.
From another perspective, such computational analysis software is rarely used for the large-scale development and test. There is not much significance and value for its ability to debug function separately.
Through the above comparison, we can see that both R and esProc provide some debugging functions. In which,esProc is performing better in terms of convenience and usability.

how do you set work part zero on cnc machine
2023/05/08
Introduction
CNC machines have made it easy for manufacturers to create precision parts. However, one of the most critical aspects of CNC machining is setting the work part zero accurately. Work part zero defines the origin point for all machining operations, meaning that if it's incorrectly set, every machining operation will be off by the same amount, resulting in scrapped parts, wasted materials, and wasted time. In this article, we will go over the steps required to set work part zero on a CNC machine and how to troubleshoot any problems that arise.
The Importance of Setting Work Part Zero
Setting work part zero is essential because all machining operations are based on it. When you set the work part zero, it's like setting the home position for the machine. All subsequent operations will be relative to this point. If the work part zero is not set correctly, the machine will incorrectly place the tool in relation to the part, resulting in incorrect cuts.
Steps to Set Work Part Zero
Step 1: Clean the Part and Machine
Before you begin setting work part zero, you should clean the part and machine. Clean any debris or dirt from the machine and part using a soft brush and vacuum.
Step 2: Install the Part on the Machine
Next, you will need to install the part onto the machine. Make sure it's clamped securely and that any necessary fixtures or vises are in place.
Step 3: Jog the Machine to Begin the Setup Process
Jog the machine to the approximate position where you want to set the work part zero. This can be done by moving the axes using the machine control panel or jog handle.
Step 4: Use a Touch Probe or Edge Finder
To set the work part zero accurately, you will need to use a touch probe or edge finder. A touch probe is a precise measuring instrument that makes contact with the part, sending an electrical signal to the machine. An edge finder performs a similar function but uses a spring-loaded tip to make contact with the part.
Step 5: Set the Work Part Zero
To set work part zero using a touch probe, place the probe onto the part and jog the machine until the probe touches the part. Record the values displayed on the machine, and then jog the machine to the opposite side of the part and do the same. The machine will use these values to calculate the center point of the part.
If using an edge finder, touch the tip of the edge finder to the part and jog the machine until the edge finder stops moving. Record the position and then jog the machine to the opposite side of the part and repeat. Use these values to figure out the center point of the part.
Troubleshooting Problems with Work Part Zero
If you encounter problems when setting work part zero, the first thing to check is your machine's axes calibration. Make sure each axis is moving the correct distance when you jog the machine. If an axis is off, you will need to recalibrate the machine.
Another common problem is the probe or edge finder making contact with a dirty or greasy part. This can cause inaccurate readings, so make sure both the probe and part are clean before attempting to set work part zero.
Conclusion
Setting work part zero is a crucial step in CNC machining. It's essential to take your time when setting work part zero to ensure accuracy, as even a small error can result in scrapped parts or wasted time. By following the steps outlined in this article and troubleshooting any problems that arise, you will be able to set work part zero accurately and produce precision parts with ease.

Sometimes you may need to alter the design to join together two nets that are currently separate.
Unless you are creating a PCB design 'on the fly', you should not really be trying to connect two nets here. Instead you should switch back to your Schematic, make the change there, then use Forward Design Changes to push the change forward to the PCB.
However, if you are creating a PCB design directly without a corresponding Schematic, you can use the Add Connection or Add Track commands to connect those items together.


The Building of Metropolitan residence
Built in the 80s of the 19th century, the current building of the Metropolitan residence is the only and unique construction in the area and beyond.
It was built by local builders with decorations on the facade that are made especially for it. Due to their decorativeness, specificity, they are original creative works and what is the most interesting, although they are reliefs made in plaster, they were made on the principle of woodcarving and woodcut technique. According to that principle, it belongs to the only objects decorated in this way in general. Each floor's facade in the Metropolitan building has friezes with different content and meaning.
Митрополија - Битола
The symbolism of these numerous decorative elements makes this building extremely rich and lavish.
The most dominant are the Christian symbols: vines, flowers and stalks intertwined in the form of crosses, as well as certain letters that are in the form of flowers.
Both in the exterior of the facade and inside the building, a special Macedonian baroque is preserved, worthy of study as a construction and stylistic tradition from which began a specific architecture that can be freely inscribed in the world cultural heritage.
Митрополија - Битола
In fact, it is a proof that the overall architectural, cultural, historical, and creative heritage in Bitola is a kind of cultural and historical world mark that, due to its originality and uniqueness, can earn a worldwide reputation from that period.
Митрополија - Битола
 - How to get there
 The building is located on Vlatko Milenkovski Street near the Old Bazaar and is the seat of the Prespa-Pelagonija Diocese
 - Parking
 - Wheelchair accessibility:
 Only from outside the building

colour, cooking quality, erişte, mineral, rice bran, sensory property
In this study, rice bran (RB) replaced wheat flour in order to enrich the nutritional properties without affecting technological properties of eri?te. For this purpose, RB was used in eri?te up to 25% level. Crude ash, mineral contents, colour values, cooking and sensory properties of eri?te samples were determined. Crude ash, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iron and zinc contents of eri?te samples increased with RB addition level. As a result, utilisation of RB in eri?te improved nutritional content of the eri?te. RB addition increased weight increase and volume increase values of the eri?te samples compared to control eri?te sample, and also the highest weight and volume increase values were obtained with 25% RB addition. The cooking loss value of eri?te sample with 5% RB substitution level was statistically similar to the control. According to wheat flour, the dark colour of the RB affected the sensory score of eri?te negatively especially high addition level, but stickiness values affected positively by RB addition significantly (P<0.05) compared to control sample. The sensorial test results indicate that the eri?te with an enrichment level of 10% RB was well accepted by the panellist after control sample.

Olympic National Park Asked to Buy Out Mining Claims
 Olympic National Park continues to remain in the news over land-management issues. Earlier this fall the park made headlines when an Indian tribe closed access to a national park trail and a beach within the park in protest over stalled negotiations to find land that could accommodate the tribe's village, which is in a tsunami zone.
 Now three brothers who own rights to deposits of gold, platinum, oil and natural gas beneath the park's Shi Shi Beach are threatening to sell those rights to mining interests unless the National Park Service agrees to buy them for $30 million. An agent for the family told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that the mineral deposits and oil and gas are worth a combined $2 billion.
 Park officials, whose total budget for 2004 amounted to just $10 million, say they are trying to determine the value of the claims that the brothers' grandfather bought in 1928.

What does the cell damage test actually determine?
This Cell Damage Test is a quick and easy test that measures malondialdehyde in the urine. Toxic adlehydes are released into the bloodstream when fats, including cell membranes, are oxidized. The kidneys excrete them in the urine. The Cell Damage test is a general measure of cell membrane damage due to free radical peroxidation of lipids.
The Cell Damage Test shows:
- Poor cell signaling of the immune system
- Increased metabolic toxicity
- Mitochondrial diseases
- Reduced cellular energy (ATP production)
- Damaged DNA
- Poor tissue function
- Unresponsive hormones (thyroxin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin,
- Increased risk of abnormal cell proliferations
- Increased risk of cardiovascular concerns
We live and die at the cellular level. Autopsies show that in the cases of most people who died of heart attacks, they died at the cellular level 1st. we can go years without"symptoms" not realizing that our cells are sick and dying and once there are no longer any healthy cells to replicate we cease to live. This test will give you in-depth insight into your cellular health in order to give you an opportunity to take a proactive approach to your cell health before it's too late.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:But what then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be compared? For there to be equivalence, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life. -Albert Camus, writer, philosopher, Nobel laureate (_PHONE_)

Determining the Level of Prefabricated Module Requirements in Offsite Construction
Seidu, R., Jin, R., Young, B., Ebohon, O. and Yizhe Lu (2022). Determining the Level of Prefabricated Module Requirements in Offsite Construction. Proceedings of the 5th European International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management. Rome, Italy 26 Jul - 28 Aug 2022 Scopus.
|Authors||Seidu, R., Jin, R., Young, B., Ebohon, O. and Yizhe Lu|
Offsite construction technique presents substantially speedier construction processes whilst lowering construction wastes. The level of prefabricated for offsite construction projects depend largely on the amount of complexity and the level of prefabricated components, which can be classified into two levels such as 2D penalized and 3D volumetric construction. However, there is often no specific method adoptable for determining the level of prefabrication construction. This research aims to determine the level of prefabrication requirement for offsite construction and their significance. An online database collected for offsite construction projects was analysed with decision making models. The results revealed that the building volume, i.e., the building footprint and height were the most influential factors. Furthermore, three other factors related to timber material, low-income target user, and residential function of prefabricated projects were also identified crucial in deciding the prefabrication level. The research concluded with certain guidance recommended for choosing the appropriate prefabrication level for building construction. For example, penalized construction generally had higher level of implementation than volumetric construction in prefabrication.

Old English slāw'slow-witted, sluggish', of Germanic origin
The word slow is normally used as an adjective (a slow learner; the journey was slow). It is also used as an adverb in certain specific contexts, including compounds such as slow-acting and slow-moving and in the expression go slow. Other adverbial use is informal and usually regarded as nonstandard, as in he drives too slow and go as slow as you can. In such contexts, standard English uses slowly instead. The use of slow and slowly in this respect contrasts with the use of fast, which is completely standard in use as both an adjective and an adverb; there is no word 'fastly'.

Tanzania secondary schools in rural areas are geographically and socially isolated, hence face a number of problems in getting learning materials resulting in poor performance in National examinations.
E-learning as defined to be the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for supporting the educational processes has motivated Tanzania to apply ICT in its education system.
There has been effort to improve secondary school education using ICT through several projects. ICT for e-learning to Tanzania rural secondary school is one of the research projects conceived by the University of Dar-es-Salaam through its College of Engineering and Technology. The main objective of the project is to develop a tool to enable ICT support rural secondary school.
The project is comprehensive with a number of components, one being development of e-learning management system (e-LMS) for Tanzania secondary schools.
This paper presents strategies of developing e-LMS. It shows the importance of integrating action research methodology with the modeling methods as presented by model driven architecture (MDA) and the usefulness of Unified Modeling Language (UML) on the issue of modeling.
The benefit of MDA will go along with the development based on software development life cycle (SDLC) process, from analysis and requirement phase through design and implementation stages as employed by object oriented system analysis and design approach.
The paper also explains the employment of open source code reuse from open source learning platforms for the context sensitive development of the e-LMS for Tanzania secondary schools.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of older adults. They have been encouraged to stay at home, and restrictions have limited social interactions and increased social isolation. Social isolation is associated with increased emotional distress and depressive symptoms in older adults. Despite the increase in isolation during the pandemic, there have been limited studies that examine differences in mental well-being between household compositions. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether religious belief, networks, and technology usage influence the mental well-being of older adults in coupleand single-households during COVID-19. It is important to understand how various factors impact mental health for older adults living in different household types during the pandemic as this may guide future interventions.
This study used Health and Retirement Survey COVID Project data. The sample was comprised of respondents aged 60 or older (N=1,249). The independent variables consisted of age, gender, education, race, ethnicity (Hispanic), perceived health, household income, digital technology usage, religious belief, and network with a spouse, children, other family members, and friends. This study adopted scales of mental health, digital technology usage, religious belief, and networks from HRS. Simple regression analyses were conducted with coupleand single-households to examine what factors affected older adults' mental health during COVID-19.
The study found that perceived health, religious belief, network with other family members, and digital technology usage have different impacts on the mental health of older adults. In couple households (n=795), health [b=1.7], digital technology usage [b=0.3], and network with spouse [b=0.2], children [b=0.2], and friends [b=0.2] had significant positive effects on mental health [p<.05]. Regarding the single older adults (n=448), their mental health had positive relationships with perceived physical health [b=1.9], religious belief [b=0.1], and network with children [b=0.2], other family members [b=0.2], and friends [b=0.3, p<.05].
Conclusion and Implications
This study contributes to a more complete understanding of what factors positively impact mental health outcomes in older adults during the pandemic and how perceived health, networks, religious belief, and digital technology usage impact individuals in different household types. The study results indicate that perceived good health status had a positive impact on older adults' mental health in both household types. The findings suggest that technology use and closer relationships with a spouse, children, and friends are associated with better mental health outcomes in couple households. On the other hand, closer relationships with children, friends, and other family members and religious belief were important for the mental well-being in single households. Using technology had no significant relationship to mental health in single households. However, since the pandemic began, research has revealed that technology use has a significantly positive capacity to promote mental health in couple households. Further research is needed to understand factors related to technology use in single older adults. Increasing technology use may help prevent isolation and improve mental well-being in single households.


_Shaded_Relief'. It's also possible to add a lot of features such as rivers, countries, coastlines, counties, etc. I plot countries and rivers. The argument 'zorder' specifies the order of the layering from 1 to n, where 1 is the bottom layer and n the top.
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.set_size_inches([17.05,8.15])
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
# plot basemap, rivers and countries
m = basemap(llcrnrlat=19.5, urcrnrlat=26.0, llcrnrlon=99.6, urcrnr=107.5, resolution='h')
m.arcgisimage(service='World_Shaded_Relief')
m.drawrivers(color='dodgerblue',linewidth=1.0,zorder=1)
m.drawcountries(color='k',linewidth=1.25)
The above code makes the following image (it takes some time, since I'm using high resolution):
Now let's add a shaded outline of the Red River basin. To do this, you need a shapefile of the basin. The FAO provides a shapefile of major watersheds in the world, from which you can extract the watershed you're interested in using ArcGIS (see instructions here). In this shapefile, the Red River is labeled by its name in Vietnamese, 'Song Hong.' I chose not to draw the bounds of the basin in my map because it would be too busy with the country borders. Instead, I shaded the region gray (facecolor='0.33′) with a slightly darker border (edgecolor='0.5′) and slight transparency (alpha=0.5). To do that, I had to collect all of the patches associated with the shapefile (which I called 'Basin' when reading it in) that needed to be shaded.
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
from matplotlib.collections import Patch Collection
# plot Red River basin
m.readshapefile('RedRiverBasin_WGS1984', 'Basin', drawbounds=False)
patches = []
for info, shape in zip(m.Basin_info, m.Basin):
 if info['OBJECTID'] == 1: # attribute in attribute table of shapefile
 patches.append(Polygon(np.array(shape), True))
ax.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches, facecolor='0.33', edgecolor='0.5', alpha=0.5))
This creates the following image:
Now let's add the locations of major dams and cities in the basin using 'scatter'. You could again do this by adding a shapefile, but I'm just going to add their locations manually, either by uploading their latitude and longitude coordinates from a .csv file or by passing them directly.
import numpy as np
# plot dams
damsLatLong = np.loadtxt('DamLocations.csv', delimiter=',', skiprows=1, usecols=[1,2])
x, y = m(damsLatLong[:,1], damLatLong[:,0]) # m(longitude, latitude)
m.scatter(x, y, c='k', s = 150, marker = '^')
# plot Hanoi
x, y = m(_PHONE_, 21.0278)
m.scatter(x, y, facecolor='darkred', edgecolor='darkred', s=150)
This makes the following image:
If we want to label the dams and cities, we can add text specifying where on the map we'd like them to be located. This may require some guess-and-check work to determine the best place (comment if you know a better way!). I temporarily added gridlines to the map to aid in this process using 'drawparallels' and 'drawmeridians'.
# label dams and Hanoi
plt.text(104.8, 21.0, 'Hoa Binh', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(104.0, 21.7, 'Son La', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.0, 21.95, 'Thac Ba', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.4, 22.55, 'Tuyen Quang', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.8, 21.2, 'Hanoi', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
Now our map looks like this:
That looks nice, but it would be helpful to add some context as to where in the world the Red River basin is located. To illustrate this, we can create an inset of the greater geographical area by adding another set of axes with its own basemap. This one can be at a lower resolution.
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator import zoomed_inset_axes

This image looks like this:
Now let's highlight a country of interest (Vietnam) in green and also add the Red River basin in light gray again.
# plot Vietnam green in inset

# shade Red River basin gray in inset
axins.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches, faceolor='0.33', edgecolor='0.5', alpha=0.5)
Now our map looks like this:
Finally, let's label the countries in the inset. Some of the countries are too small to fit their name inside, so we'll have to create arrows pointing to them using 'annotate'. In this function, 'xy' specifies where the arrow points to and 'xytext' where the text is written relative to where the arrow points.
# label countries

Among the most frequent questions we request is how do I paint my bath mirror? The bathrooms have benefits through the years and therefore are also the bathroom's center point. By painting or remodeling your Golf Club Storage Rack, you repaint the bathtub counter with comparable ease, can bring living for the old toilet and requires only a few times of function and produce a great weekend project.
First we have to make toilet showcase to achieve this you will need mild detergent and screwdriver. Using your screwdriver, take away the hinges and remove every one of the drawers from your own wardrobe that is current. Next grab a little bit of mud and your sandpaper all completed from the makeup showcase. Make sure the mud both attributes of the restroom doorway. Slightly scrub the whole bathroom with mild detergent once you have accomplished sanding the doorway.
We now have decorated back the dressing table since the toilet flooring that touches the adjacent flooring changing all gates and reinserting all-the accessories which were produced with this procedure. Now's a good time when it is not put appropriately, to regulate the door to make the place of new screws to close the doorway consistently, to ensure that tiny change.
Use a top quality primer to allow the outside exterior of the Golf Club Storage Rack t consult with your neighborhood equipment store to obtain the right primer on your unique project. Let before wanting to paint-your bathroom counter, the primer dried. Record from all sides around your toilet counter to not get color in your surfaces or surfaces.
It really is time to paint-your cabinet first until it opens, stirring the paint. Next make use of roller or a comb to consistently cover the coloring that is light onto all areas of the bathroom dresser. Easier to employ some light layers than to darken the undertaking with one-layer of color. Enable to dry for all hours or overnight, then reinstall the second or third color clothes.
Another way to tidy up your previous toilet is by the addition of new calls towards the cabinet and dresser doors. Furthermore updating the sink with a much more modern and fresh style can also help update your Golf Club Storage Rack that is old.


Skeletons of near-critical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson branching processes
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015
Skeletons of branching processes are defined as trees of lineages characterized by an appropriate signature of future reproduction success. In the supercritical case a natural choice is to look for the lineages that survive forever (O'Connell (1993)). In the critical case it was suggested that the particles with the total number of descendants exceeding a certain threshold could be distinguished (see Sagitov (1997)). These two definitions lead to asymptotic representations of the skeletons as either pure birth process (in the slightly supercritical case) or critical birth death processes (in the critical case conditioned on the total number of particles exceeding a high threshold value). The limit skeletons reveal typical survival scenarios for the underlying branching processes. In this paper we consider near-critical Bienayme-Galton-Watson processes and define their skeletons using marking of particles. If marking is rare, such skeletons are approximated by birth and death processes, which can be subcritical, critical, or supercritical. We obtain the limit skeleton for a sequential mutation model (Sagitov and Serra (2009)) and compute the density distribution function for the time to escape from extinction.

. The type of data you can transfer depends on the transport protocol: when JSON is used, then only strings, numbers and arrays and hashes consisting of those are allowed (no objects). When Storable is used, then anything that Storable can serialise and deserialise is allowed, and for the local node, anything can be passed. Best rely only on the common denominator of these. $local_port = port Create a new local port object and returns its port ID. Initially it has no callbacks set and will throw an error when it receives messages. $local_port = port { my _USER_ = _USER_ } Creates a new local port, and returns its ID. Semantically the same as creating a port and calling "rcv $port, $callback" on it. The block will be called for every message received on the port, with the global variable $SELF set to the port ID. Runtime errors will cause the port to be "kil"ed. The message will be passed as-is, no extra argument (i.e. no port ID) will be passed to the callback. If you want to stop/destroy the port, simply "kil" it: my $port = port { my _USER_ = _USER_;... kil $SELF; }; rcv $local_port, $callback->(_USER_) Replaces the default callback on the specified port. There is no way to remove the default callback: use "sub { }" to disable it, or better "kil" the port when it is no longer needed. The global $SELF (exported by this module) contains $port while executing the callback. Runtime errors during callback execution will result in the port being "kil"ed. The default callback received all messages not matched by a more specific "tag" match. rcv $local_port, tag => $callback->(_USER_),... Register (or replace) callbacks to be called on messages starting with the given tag on the given port (and return the port), or unregister it (when $callback is $undef or missing). There can only be one callback registered for each tag. The original message will be passed to the callback, after the first element (the tag) has been removed. The callback will use the same environment as the default callback (see above). Example: create a port and bind receivers on it in one go. my $port = rcv port, msg1 => sub {... }, msg2 => sub {... }, ; Example: create a port, bind receivers and send it in a message elsewhere in one go: snd $otherport, reply => rcv port, msg1 => sub {... },... ; Example: temporarily register a rcv callback for a tag matching some port (e.g. for an rpc reply) and unregister it after a message was received. rcv $port, $otherport => sub { my _USER_ = _USER_; rcv $SELF, $otherport; }; peval $port, $coderef[, _USER_] Evaluates the given $codref within the contetx of $port, that is, when the code throews an exception the $port will be killed. Any remaining args will be passed to the callback. Any return values will be returned to the caller. This is useful when you temporarily want to execute code in the context of a port. Example: create a port and run some initialisation code in it's context. my $port = port {... }; peval $port, sub { init or die "unable to init"; }; $closure = psub { BLOCK } Remembers $SELF and creates a closure out of the BLOCK. When the closure is executed, sets up the environment in the same way as in "rcv" callbacks, i.e. runtime errors will cause the port to get "kil"ed. The effect is basically as if it returned "sub { peval $SELF, sub { BLOCK }, _USER_ }". This is useful when you register callbacks from "rcv" callbacks: rcv delayed_reply => sub { my ($delay, _USER_) = _USER_; my $timer = AE::timer $delay, 0, psub { snd _USER_, $SELF; }; }; $guard = mon $port, $cb->(_USER_) # call $cb when $port dies $guard = mon $port, $rcvport # kill $rcvport when $port dies $guard = mon $port # kill $SELF when $port dies $guard = mon $port, $rcvport, _USER_ # send a message when $port dies Monitor the given port and do something when the port is killed or messages to it were lost, and optionally return a guard that can be used to stop monitoring again. In the first form (callback), the callback is simply called with any number of _USER_ elements (no _USER_ means that the port was deleted "normally"). Note also that *the callback must never die*, so use "eval" if unsure. In the second form (another port given), the other port ($rcvport) will be "kil"'ed with _USER_, if a _USER_ was specified, i.e. on "normal" kils nothing happens, while under all other conditions, the other port is killed with the same reason. The third form (kill self) is the same as the second form, except that $rvport defaults to $SELF. In the last form (message), a message of the form "_USER_, _USER_" will be "snd". Monitoring-actions are one-shot: once messages are lost (and a monitoring alert was raised), they are removed and will not trigger again. As a rule of thumb, monitoring requests should always monitor a port from a local port (or callback). The reason is that kill messages might get lost, just like any other message. Another less obvious reason is that even monitoring requests can get lost (for example, when the connection to the other node goes down permanently). When monitoring a port locally these problems do not exist. "mon" effectively guarantees that, in the absence of hardware failures, after starting the monitor, either all messages sent to the port will arrive, or the monitoring action will be invoked after possible message loss has been detected. No messages will be lost "in between" (after the first lost message no further messages will be received by the port). After the monitoring action was invoked, further messages might get delivered again. Inter-host-connection timeouts and monitoring depend on the transport used. The only transport currently implemented is TCP, and AnyEvent::MP relies on TCP to detect node-downs (this can take 10-15 minutes on a non-idle connection, and usually around two hours for idle connections). This means that monitoring is good for program errors and cleaning up stuff eventually, but they are no replacement for a timeout when you need to ensure some maximum latency. Example: call a given callback when $port is killed. mon $port, sub { warn "port died because of <_USER_>\n" }; Example: kill ourselves when $port is killed abnormally. mon $port; Example: send us a restart message when another $port is killed. mon $port, $self => "restart"; $guard = mon_guard $port, $ref, $ref... Monitors the given $port and keeps the passed references. When the port is killed, the references will be freed. Optionally returns a guard that will stop the monitoring. This function is useful when you create e.g. timers or other watchers and want to free them when the port gets killed (note the use of "psub"): $port->rcv (start => sub { my $timer; $timer = mon_guard $port, AE::timer 1, 1, psub { undef $timer if 0.9 < rand; }); }); kil $port[, _USER_] Kill the specified port with the given _USER_. If no _USER_ is specified, then the port is killed "normally" - monitor callback will be invoked, but the kil will not cause linked ports ("mon $mport, $lport" form) to get killed. If a _USER_ is specified, then linked ports ("mon $mport, $lport" form) get killed with the same reason. Runtime errors while evaluating "rcv" callbacks or inside "psub" blocks will be reported as reason "die => $@". Transport/communication errors are reported as "transport_error => $message". $port = spawn $node, $initfunc[, _USER_] Creates a port on the node $node (which can also be a port ID, in which case it's the node where that port resides). The port ID of the newly created port is returned immediately, and it is possible to immediately start sending messages or to monitor the port. After the port has been created, the init function is called on the remote node, in the same context as a "rcv" callback. This function must be a fully-qualified function name (e.g. "MyApp::Chat::Server::init"). To specify a function in the main program, use "::name". If the function doesn't exist, then the node tries to "require" the package, then the package above the package and so on (e.g. "MyApp::Chat::Server", "MyApp::Chat", "MyApp") until the function exists or it runs out of package names. The init function is then called with the newly-created port as context object ($SELF) and the _USER_ values as arguments. It *must* call one of the "rcv" functions to set callbacks on $SELF, otherwise the port might not get created. A common idiom is to pass

Éminence grise, French for gray eminence, is the "true power behind the throne," i.e., a person who influences politics from behind, without being elected or appointed to a public office (or without having inhereted one in feudal societies).
The expression comes from the time of Cardinal Richelieu, who was the visible power in France of his era (more powerful than even the King of France).
The proper way to address a Cardinal is Your Eminence. Cardinals wear red robes, so Cardinal Richelieu was also known as "éminence rouge" (red eminence).
No matter how powerful Cardinal Richelieu may have been outwardly, he, as any good Catholic, regularly went to confession. His confessor was the Capuchin friar Père Joseph (i.e., Father Joseph). It was Père Joseph who had the power to forgive Cardinal Richelieu's sins. It was also Père Joseph whom Cardinal Richelieu consulted before making any important political decision. Indeed, it was Père Joseph who truly controlled Cardinal Richelieu and was, therefore, the true power in France.
Now, today Capuchins wear brown habits (religious garb). But at the time of Père Joseph they were still wearing gray habits. Hence, Père Joseph was known as the gray eminence, and that nickname stuck along for centuries to describe the true power behind power.

The increasing popularity of water jet–propelled vessels both in the civilian and military sectors of the maritime industry has outpaced the commonly available and approachable books on these ships. Many mariners who operate these styles of vessels have received training in their operation from vessel-specific instruction. This has left a knowledge gap between the various different vessel types in what works and what does not. Inside are descriptions and pictures of the various parts of water jet propulsion and control systems. Also included are explanations and suggestions on how to make full use of the remarkable maneuvering potential that water jet propulsion offers, followed by an explanation of how to efficiently and safely make use of the higher speeds that water jet vessels can obtain. Last, there is an extensive glossary of terms typically used in the community of high-speed water jets.

Active Interference Cancellation Systems.
Final rept. 20 Nov 67-30 Nov 68,
AMERICAN NUCLEONICS CORP GLENDALE CA
Pagination or Media Count:
The report discusses the principles and performance of an active Interference Cancellation System fabricated for UHF communication applications. The system employs a synchronous cancellation technique for the suppression of adjacent channel interferences. Two experimental models were fabricated for checkout in operational situations where transmitting sources are collocated with the receiver. The Interference Cancellation System ICS is designed such that no existing equipment modification is necessary for the cancellation of any selected interference. The system involves linear processing. The experimental models provide 80 dB of suppression to AM without tuning in the 225 to 400 MHz band. They are capable of simultaneously suppressing two interfering signals with levels as high as 20 dBm and frequency separations as low as .025 MHz. The insertion loss for the desired signal is less than 5 dB. Author

Is Greenland a continent?
There is a big controversy about whether Greenland is a continent or an island. Many people are of the opinion that Greenland is a continent but scientific and other data oppose this presumption thoroughly. In history Greenland was given a status of a continent but after a few years its position was downgraded. It has been included in the continent of North America now. However Greenland enjoys the position of being the biggest non-continental island under the sun.
There is a big debate on why Australia is a continent and Greenland is being deprived of this status. Scientists call those islands continents which has a fully separate tectonic plate. The continental crust also has to be stable. Uniqueness of the flora and fauna of the area is also taken into consideration while declaring an island a continent. Moreover the people of Greenland consider themselves as the residents of an island rather than a continent. Though Greenland geologically is a part of the continent of North America it has more cultural and traditional attachment to Europe. Many scientists argue that if a separate tectonic plate is the determinant of a continent and an island then Antarctica should also be an island. If geological argument has to be considered impartially then an island like Madagascar should also get a status of a continent and make Europe and Asia a same continent. When Australia and Greenland are taken into consideration Australia of course wins because the continent of Australia is totally separate and has some unique species of life in it and there is no existence of continent of Greenland till now.

Hi,

I currently trying to send an input that I put from computer A to be output in computer B. I read that I need a shared variable for it, and I already set the shared variable. My main problem now is how to establish a connection/communication to the other computer? I tried reading in the forum but got confuse on how to use it. Anyone had a simple method on how I could do it?

Thanks

Hi tebu,
 1) If your computer A as well as computer B are connected to a lan,then you can use the VI server concepts,such that computer B will be acting as a VI server and computer A will get the data required from computerB.
2)If you are concerned about normal data transfer,you can use tcp/ip vis to send the data from computer A to computer B.
3)If they are not in network,take a cross cable and establish a local lan using computer A and computer B with either of these acting as a server and again using tcp/ip vis to send the data.

Thanks and regards,

had a look at it but it does not show the tutorial on how i could arrange the function correctly to able the connection. do you have any simple example for it?

i just need to figure out the simple step to input 1 variable (eg. value 10) in computer A and get it sent and appear in computer B.

Cool! I had a look at the examples and test it. It works.

Here are the steps that I took: (*I had both of my computer connected through a router which I used to connect both of them to the internet, i just plug Ethernet wires from both computer to the router, that's all, no configuration needed)

1) Open Data Server.vi in my 1st computer
2) Open Client Server.vi in my 2nd computer
3) Search for my 1st computer IP address by going to the

Start (at 1st computer) >Run>enter "cmd">type "ipconfig"

4) Search for my 2nd computer IP address by going to the

Start (at 2nd computer)>Run>enter "cmd">type "ipconfig"

5) Ping the 2nd computer from the 1st computer to check if the connection is ok.

Start (at 1st computer) >Run>enter "cmd">type "ping [2nd computer IP Address]"

7) Set the port number in Data Server.vi to any desired number (in my case I just choose 6350)
6) Run Data Server.vi
4) Set the port number in Client Server.vi to match the one in Data Server.vi (in my case 6350)
7) Run Client Server.vi
😎 The waveform should appear in the graph in Client Server.vi
9) SUCCESS!

*now I can change/modify the desired transmitted input to any input I wanted!
