approximately 660°C; the particulate matter of Fuel C had the lowest burnout temperature at approximately 580°C.
3.2.3. Weightlessness Rate Peak Temperature
The weightlessness rate peak temperature (Tp) refers to the temperature that corresponds to the weightlessness rate peak.
Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show the weightlessness rate peak temperatures of the diesel engine particulate matter from Fuel A, Fuel B, and Fuel C under various operating conditions. Figure 6(a) shows that when the rotating speed was stable, as the torque increased, the weightlessness rate peak temperatures of Fuel A and Fuel C declined, the weightlessness rate peak temperature of the particulate matter from Fuel B increased initially and then declined. When the torque was 100 N·m, the particulate matter of Fuel A had the highest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 630°C. When the torque was 250 N·m, the particulate matter of Fuel C had the lowest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 576°C. Figure 6(b) shows that when the torque was stable, as the rotating speed increased, the weightlessness rate peak temperatures of the particulate matters of Fuel A and Fuel B declined; the weightlessness rate peak temperature of the particulate matter of Fuel C increased. When the rotating speed was 1200 r/min, the particulate matter of Fuel C had the lowest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 577°C. When the rotating speed was 2800 r/min, the particulate matter of Fuel A had the lowest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 531°C.
3.3. Activation Energy
The activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reactant molecule to become an activated molecule. Higher activation energy indicates that it is more difficult for the chemical reaction to proceed. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis (TG and DTG curve), origin curve fitting was performed based on the least square method to obtain a fitting curve of the particulate matter in an O2 atmosphere [2628], as shown in Figure 7. The results show that the linear regression coefficient of the fitting curve was greater than 0.98, and thus, the fitting result is accurate. The slope of the fitting line was calculated to determine the activation energy of the particulate matter.
Table 3 lists the calculated activation energy of the particulate matter, which shows that the particulate matter of Fuel C had the lowest activation energy at approximately 57.89 J·mol−1, and the particulate matter of Fuel A had the highest activation energy at approximately 74.10 J·mol−1. The fuel quality analysis result (Table 1) shows that when the fuel cetane number is higher, the combustion chemical reaction rate is faster, the reaction is more complete, and the active substance contact surface increases, which facilitates particulate matter oxidation [29, 30].
FuelFitting curve equationActivation energy J·mol−1
Fuel AY = −7.9004x + 0.213174.10
Fuel BY = −8.9797x + 0.324165.44
Fuel CY = −7.0367x - 1.52357.89
4. Conclusions
The combustion of lubricating oil has a great influence on particulate matter emission of diesel engine. Lubricant additive is the main component of lubricating oil, and the oxidation characteristics of particulate matter directly affect the oxidation regeneration process of posttreatment system. In other words, lubricating oil additives directly affect the efficiency of diesel particulate posttreatment system. Therefore, this paper studies the influence of three commonly used lubricating oil additives on the oxidation characteristics of particulate matter and obtains the following conclusions.(1)Different lubricant additives result in different variation trends in the thermogravimetric curve of a particulate matter sample by varying the rotating speed and torque.(2)When the rotating speed was stable, as the torque increased, the ignition temperature of the particulate matter of Fuel C declined rapidly during the initial stage and then increased rapidly. When the torque was stable, as the rotating speed increased, the ignition temperature of the particulate matter of Fuel C increased initially and then declined.(3)When the torque was stable, as the rotating speed increased, the burnout temperatures of the particulate matter of Fuels A, B, and C declined. When the rotating speed was stable and the torque was 100 N·m, the particulate matter of Fuel A had the highest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 630°C; when the torque was 250 N·m, the particulate matter of Fuel C had the lowest weightlessness rate peak temperature at approximately 576°C.(4)When the fuel has a higher cetane number, the combustion chemical reaction rate is faster and results in a more complete reaction. The active substance contact surface increases, which facilitates particulate matter oxidation.

text: Alternative bleaching processes for cotton fabrics are presented in this study. The fabrics were pretreated with three different alternative methods which are termed here as cold bleaching process. These methods are ozone application alone (CP1), ozone-sodium persulfate application (CP2) and ozone-sodium perborate application (CP3). The results obtained from these cold bleaching processes were compared with the conventional pretreatment process (CP0) in terms of pretreatment efficiency, dyeability, and chemical/water/energy consumptions. It was found that the cold bleaching processes could be used as an alternative method for the pretreatment of cotton fabrics and the chemicals used in combination with ozone were important, as was ozonation duration. In addition to the evaluation of the pretreatment efficiencies, the differently pretreated samples were dyed with "madder" without using a mordant and without any previous extraction process, then the dyed fabrics were tested in terms of color yields (K/S), CIE L*a*b* color values, and washing/rubbing/light fastness properties. It was observed that the conventionally pretreated (CP0) samples exhibited higher color yields, darker shades. The fastnesses of the dyed samples were found nearly similar with the samples cold bleached and dyed. The chemical/water/energy consumptions during pretreatments were also compared for the different pretreatment processes and the benefits of cold bleaching processes come out from lower consumption of water, chemical and energy were illustrated. At the end of the study, the combination of ozone-sodium persulfate or ozone-sodium perborate were presented as alternatives for the purpose of cotton pretreatment.

A groovy, technicolor ice cream for kids and adults alike.
This techno-colored, swirled dream of a dessert is definitely the easiest ice cream I've ever made. It is surprisingly well-textured, given the direct-to-freezer method instead of churning in an ice cream maker. It's the perfect experiment for kids and comes together in just 15 minutes (not including chill time of course).
All that's required is to simply whip together cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Then divide into bowls, color with your food dye of choice, swirl together and freeze! This project is a great way for kids to let their creativity loose. Don't forget to top with sprinkles, candy and even edible glitter for a true Unicorn Ice Cream!
1. In a large bowl, whip together the sweetened condensed milk and cream until stiff peaks form.
2. Divide into 4 bowls and color each as desired.
3. Alternately pour each colored mixture into a freezer-safe container, and swirl together with a spoon or butter knife.
4. Top with sprinkles, candy and/or edible glitter.
5. Place in the freezer until firm, 3-4 hours.

New Penguin Habitat at Aquarium of the Pacific Powered by Clean Energy from Honda Solar Panels
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., founding sponsor of the nonprofit Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, is providing Honda solar cell technology to help power the Aquarium's new June Keyes Penguin Habitat. The 11-kilowatt system provides a reliable supply of clean energy that is expected to reduce the Aquarium's reliance on grid-supplied electricity by more than 14,000 kilowatt hours per year. The new June Keyes Penguin Habitat opened to the public May 17, 2012.
This is the first public demonstration of Honda's solar panels in the United States. Honda currently has thin film solar panels installed in 22 Honda facilities worldwide including the company's motorsports engineering facility in Santa Clarita, Calif. and an auto manufacturing plant in Indiana. Honda's longstanding relationship with the Aquarium prompted this public debut. Since 1998, Honda has assisted with the Aquarium's important efforts for marine conversation, education and community outreach programs.
"Deploying Honda solar cell technology in the new penguin habitat is a great expression of our company's focus on advanced environmental technology, as well as environmental education and conservation. It's really a perfect match," said Stephan Morikawa, assistant vice president, Corporate Community Relations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We are honored to support the Aquarium's mission in this way."
Honda CIGS thin-film solar panels use a thin-film compound of copper, indium, gallium and selenium (CIGS) that require less raw material, energy and related CO2 emissions to manufacture than conventional crystal silicon solar cells. CIGS panels are substantially thinner than traditional solar panels and enable stable power generation even when the cells are in the shade. The panels are manufactured and marketed by Honda Soltec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
The June Keyes Penguin Habitat, a permanent new exhibit at the Aquarium, houses Magellanic penguins typically found near the southern tip of South America. Today, environmental issues are threatening their survival in the wild. The habitat includes educational exhibit panels and interactive touch screens where visitors can learn about penguins and why 75 percent of them are endangered or threatened.
"Some of our penguins were rescued and by telling their story we hope people will help penguins in the wild by decreasing their carbon emissions, choosing sustainable seafood, reducing pollution, and protecting areas where these penguins breed and forage," said Dr. Jerry R. Schubel, Aquarium of the Pacific president.
Honda Environmental Vision
Striving to achieve the Honda Environmental Vision of "realizing the joy and freedom of mobility and a sustainable society where people can enjoy life," in 2011 Honda established new voluntary targets for the reduction of CO2 emissions from its products, factories and office operations globally in order to address the critical issues of climate change and energy sustainability. At the same time, Honda introduced a global environmental slogan, "Blue Skies for Our Children," that draws directly from Honda's environmental heritage.
Based on this vision, Honda is deploying a comprehensive portfolio of advanced engine and powertrain technologies that includes more fuel-efficient gasoline-powered automobiles, powersports and power equipment products, as well as advanced gas-electric hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell electric automobiles. Honda is also working to develop advanced energy production and distribution technologies, such as solar cells, electricity and heat co-generation systems, and more efficient means of producing renewable biofuels.

In this work, the reaction between phenylboronic acid and the diol-containing, fluorescent dye Alizarin Red S (ARS) was probed. Fluorescence titrations, 11B NMR measurements, and both pre- and steady-state kinetic experiments were used for the characterization of this reaction over a large pH range (4-10.5). It was shown that ARS preferentially reacted with the boronic (neutral, trigonal) form of phenylboronic acid; however, the boronate (anionic, tetrahedral) form was also reactive. All in all, four reactant species were implicated in the formation of four different adduct species. The rate of a given adduct formation depended on the combination of the solution pH and the pK a's of both ARS and the arylboronic acid. The reaction was found to proceed in two distinct kinetic steps with the products and starting materials in facile exchange. In addition, the elucidation of the mechanism indicated the presence of two fluorescent products with the structure of the major contributor differing from what had been cited in the literature.

The most famous statues of the world
The most famous statues of the world
The statues were created during the entire time of human existence. One of the oldest statues extant is the lion statue with height 29,6 cm, it was created almost 32,000 years ago. The statues at all times represented religious deities, historical events, influential people. Many of the extant statues are of great historical value.
We decided to tell about the most famous statues of the world, those are definitely worth a look if you like tours from Chelny. Kazan, Ulyanovsk and other cities of our country.
1. The Little Mermaid (Denmark).
The little Mermaid statue located in Copenhagen Harbor "Langelinie" in Denmark. Tourists, who first see this sculpture are surprised by its small size, usually photosgrafiek the little Mermaid. The little Mermaid statue is 1.25 metres high and weighs about 175 kg. the author of the sculpture Edvard Eriksen, the statue was erected in 1913. The little mermaid is a fairy tale character of Hans Christian Anderson, whose work is a national treasure of the country. The little Mermaid poor several times his head off, but every time the head was rebuilt. The authorities in Copenhagen decided to move the statue out in the Harbor to avoid vandalism.
2. Lions on the island of Delos (Greece).
Delos island is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. During the ancient times, Delos was the birthplace of the Olympic Greek mythology, here was inhabited by Apollo and Artemis. Currently remained only 5 marble lions. The originals were moved to the Archaeological Museum of Delos in 1999.
3. The Statue Of The Motherland (Russia).
The world famous statue of Mother Motherland is situated on Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd, it was dedicated to the battle of Stalingrad. When the memorial was erected in 1967 it was the tallest sculpture in the world. Two hundred steps, symbolizing the 200 days of the battle of Stalingrad, lead from the foot of the mountain to the monument. Currently, the statue sags due to changes in groundwater levels.
4. The Olmec Heads (Mexico).
The Olmecs were an ancient pre-Columbian civilization living tropical lowlands South-Central Mexico, where it is currently located Veracruz and Tabasco. The Olmec civilization flourished roughly from 1400 BC to about 400 BC. The most widely recognized aspect of the Olmec civilization are the enormous statue heads, clothed in helmets. Archaeologists believe that the Heads are portraits of rulers of civilization and high priests of the Olmec. Today discovered 17 statues of heads. The sizes of the heads range from 3.4 m to 1.47 m in height.
5. Mount Nemrut (Turkey).
Nemrut is a 2134 metre in height on the South-East of Turkey, near the city of Adiyaman. In 62 BC, on top of the mountain was built the tomb-sanctuary of king Antiochus I Theos of Commagene, which was surrounded by huge statues 8-9 m high. Among them was a statue of the king, two lions, two eagles, and statues of various Greek and Persian gods. At the expiry time the set of statues was partially destroyed and debris scattered around the perimeter of this place. From the top of mount Nemrut offers a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. This is quite a popular place among tourists because here you can watch the sunsets of unearthly beauty.
6. Statue Of David (Italy).
The statue of David is a masterpiece of the Renaissance. The author of the works of Michelangelo who created the statue in the period 1501 through 1504. The statue is of 5.17 meters in height and made of marble. The statue depicts the biblical king David. Unlike traditional image of king David, on which he appeared after his victory over Goliath, Michelangelo decided to bring in the statue of David before the fight, as if thinking about the upcoming battle. To protect the statue from damage, in 1873 it was decided to move it to the Gallery in Florence in Italy, where she is to this day. Its exact copy was placed in the Piazza della Signoria, to the original location of the original sculpture.
7. Great Sphinx (Egypt).
The Sphinx is located on a desert plateau at Giza in Egypt. The great Sphinx is one of the largest and oldest sculptural structures in the world. Still no fall silent disputes who was the model for its implementation. This is the largest monolithic statue in the world, although in size it is considerably smaller than the Pyramids around it. Despite conflicting evidence and viewpoints of archaeologists for many years, the modern point of view of Egyptologists is that the Great Sphinx was built around the year 2500 BC by the Pharaoh khafra, presumably during the construction of the second pyramid at Giza. According to some researchers of Egypt, the Sphinx was called to protect the peace of the afterlife of the pharaohs and to inspire fear of foreigners.
8. The Statue Of Liberty (United States Of America).
The statue of Liberty is a gift Norodom France in honor of the centenary of the signing of the Declaration of independence of the United States. The statue stands on Liberty Island and is one of the most famous symbols in the world. The construction of the statue was completed in France in July 1884 and a year later the statue arrived in new York Harbor. Today the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the United States.
9. Christ The Redeemer (Brazil).
Christ the Redeemer – statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Located atop the 700 meters on mount Corcovado, overlooking a wide panorama from the interior of Guanabara Bay to the North, to Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas to the South. The statue is 39.6 metres tall, including 9.5 metres is her pedestal, and 30 meters wide. The symbol of Christianity, the famous statue of Christ has become an icon of Rio and Brazil.
The world-famous sculptural complex of the Moai are monolithic statues located on Easter island, one of the most isolated Islands on Earth. The statues were created between approximately 1250 – 1500 ad. In addition to representing deceased ancestors, the Moai may also be regarded as the embodiment of powerful living or dead generals. The highest sculpture was called Paro, it is almost 10 meters high and weighs 75 tons. The statues were discovered when Europeans first visited Easter island, but most of them were destroyed in recent conflicts between people living on the island clans. Today, about 50 Moai have been re-erected on Easter island.
If You are interested in sculpture and history, you probably would like to combine leisure with wonderful excursions to the most ancient monuments of architecture and art. We are pleased to offer a variety of tours from Chelny to different corners of our planet. We are sure You will be satisfied with your journey!

1. Class Trailer: do you like to draw? Have you ever wanted to see your drawings come to life? This class will teach you how to make a five second animation with as little as 12 drawings For our class project, you will learn how to animate a dog howling, complete with sound effects. Class requirements are that you will need to purchase a program called Rough Animator, which is $5. It runs on a Mac PC or a tablet running IOS Android or Kindle Fire. This class is for beginners or animators looking for an easy to learn program to get into two D hand drawn animation. If you can draw stick figures, you can take this class. Hi there. My name is Patrick Davidson, demographics freelancer and part time animator. I've been animating for over 20 years now, and I've worked on projects from TV commercials to feed your family. I worked mainly in two D or hand drawn animation. My favorite personal animated projects are the Web comedy series Traveling Green Goes and My Action, Siri's Trap. I'm also an ex pats in California living in my new adopted country of Costa Rica, but enough about me. Let's get into this class 2. Setting Up a New Project: Welcome to our class. Let's get started. But switch over here too. Rough animator. And we're gonna hit Start a new project. I'm going to keep the resolution at 7 20 p. 24 frames, so you could do larger if you want. That's what I'm gonna work at and just get situated here. Zoom out with up with command minus man Plus goes larger. Hold the space bar down and you get the hand and you can move the whole canvas around. 3. Overview of Tool Palettes: Here's our timeline up here to give ourselves a more room. And let's just look at the tools real fast. So we came up here to window. We can see there's Maybe there's five main tool palettes. So we've got tools which are your drawing tools, razor etcetera. And we'll get into that tool options, which is this in the bottom right corner here. And you'll see that this will change depending on what? To your in on the right. And then we've got timeline, which is this up top here, and we'll get into that what that's got, then we've got preferences, and this I only use occasionally. So we'll we'll pull that up when we need it. Not needed. Open right now and then. Color palette. We can use that as well, but I'm gonna close it for now. We want black for now. 4. Using the Drawing Tools: So I'm gonna grab the breast tool, and I'm a switch from my house to my pen on my my tablet here. And I just want to do a rough sketch of our dog here. So I'm gonna start making some surks, um, shapes triangle for the nose oval for the ears, and we're gonna do an oval for the body here, give a little tail, and what we want to do is gonna give him a couple of feed in the back and some feet in the front here. We're gonna get him some eyes, couple of circles there, and my eyebrows gonna give him a triangle nose. And at this stage, I just want to sketch quickly We're not doing Then we're not doing going for the world's best drawing right now. We can do that. And later, this is our roofs basically, and that's a good time to come up here. And we're gonna name this layer because that's what we're drawing on here by by default. Gonna call this refs and come back here actually want these, uh, legs to be a little longer. There's a few ways to do that. I'm gonna grab the eraser tool and just erase what I've drawn here. And actually, I want a bigger eraser. So let's go ahead and let's double that up to 50 and you can see that it gets bigger. Let's go ahead and go to 100 and even bigger Still back over to our brush. And let's just give this little port dog Isam feet here, okay? I'll give him a spot on his back. So for the time being, I'm just going to sketch things in. I'm not gonna spend too much time on detail. And was again the Zahra refs. Uh, she was giving lip there. Okay, Um actually, I don't know if I like that years, so let's erase that clean about just a little bit here, My bottom lip. All right, so let's let's go with that. Okay, Now we've got our rough drawing the next. What I want to do is I want to basically do all of my animation as Ruff's, and then we're gonna go back over when we're going to create a new layer on top of the Ruff's and we're gonna do cleaner drawings. What I want to do is just come up here and click Add drawing. Now we're gonna add after or we could duplicate after these air the options it's giving us, Uh, let's try duplicate after, actually. So now you see here we've got two frames and they're the same frame. But what I want to do on the second frame is we're gonna come over here, we're gonna race, and when I raise his whole head and I'm gonna redraw it that way down to redraw the body, go back to my brush and let's draw s'more shapes here a couple of ovals and let's keep drying. So what we're drawing here is we're drawing a dog howling. And as our little guy here is howling, we're gonna have some animation happened. Meantime, let's just do a quick little drawing here. Now we can see is back or his front paw here. Okay, so now we've actually got some animation. You were just the two drawing so we can kind of flip back and forth and you can see the animation. One thing I notice is that kind of drawn him a little bit high. So if I want to move this drawing, I want to move all of my drawings. So the move Multiple drawings. When a center this a little bit Drop him down a little bit. So we hit Edit multiple. When we get our little bounding box here, it looks like you can click and drag this and select. Now we've got both selected as they both have highlighted. So now I want to grab him over here and grab the lasso tool, and we're just gonna grab all of the drawing. And then we could just click and drag and drop him down in the center where we want him. And I believe we can scale up and down ones were in this as well. So when we're done, we just click outside of that and you can see we still got both or all of the frames selected. So we're just going to come up here and select one, and now you can see we've moved all of our drawings at one time, so that's how to do that. 5. Rough Animation: to go back to our brush because what we want to do is at a few details of animation here. And one thing I want to do in the second drawing is I want to add some animation to his tail. So let's come here and let's erase the tail. And then I'm gonna go back to my brush, and then

Periodic Data Output
The command is designed to switch on periodic data output. After processing the command the sensor performs periodic data output in the text-based form (ASCII codes) of the following data: relative level, temperature, frequency.
The data are being output periodically with an interval set up when cofiguring the sensor (Omnicomm Configurator software). In case the data output interval is set to zero, the data output won't be performed.
Switching on of the periodic data output is done by sending of the "DP" symbols in line. After processing of the command the symbols line will be received. For example, F=0AF9 t=1A N=03FF.0 <CR><LF>, where F is the current frequency value, t is the current value of temperature in Celcius degrees, N is the level value. Turning off of the periodic data output is performed after receipt of any true command, reset of the processor or disconnection of power supply.

6 Energistics URI
Topic Version1Published10/20/2016
For StandardEID v4.0
The Energistics URI also provides a mechanism to identify an asset using compound identity, location in a hierarchy, or identifiers other than UUIDs. Two things are important to remember about URIs:
 1. They are identifiers and not necessarily locators. Because of their format and the way identifiers are constructed, it is a common mistake to think that they point to an actual resource on the Web (a URL). While it is possible for a URI to be URL, it is not always true and do not assume that it is true. URIs are simply ways of uniquely identifying things.
 2. It is expected and normal for a given real-world object of interest to have multiple URIs.

Cross of Sacrifice
The Cross of Sacrifice instantly identifies a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) war cemetery.
It is a tall, carefully proportioned, sand or limestone Latin cross usually standing on an octagonal base with a downward pointing bronze sword attached to its face. Together, the sword and cross embody the military and spiritual nature of the cemetery. The Cross was intended to represent the faith of the majority of the dead it overlooked.
A Cross of Sacrifice is a feature in all war cemeteries with 50 or more burials . Depending upon the size of the cemetery, it can range in height from 4.5 to 9 metres. It is always precisely positioned so as to enhance the overall design of the cemetery and provide a point of focus.
Sir Reginald Blomfield designed the Cross of Sacrifice. Blomfield was one of the first principal architects for CWGC, and fought in WW1.

This is the third article in the series about storing more than just executable code inside a Delphi application.
In the introductory article we saw how Delphi uses standard Windows resource files like icons, bitmaps and cursors. As explained, resource files that store such kind of data can be created with Delphi's Image Editor. The second article explained how to use sound files, video clips, animations and more generally any kind of binary files in a Delphi executable - we placed a mp3 file inside a Delphi exe. As stated, we use Borland Resource Compiler (BRCC32.exe) to create a resource file that gets linked with an executable file.
Many of you have asked how your application can be a container for any Web-style content, including HTML resources and pictures that are part of your project.
This articles will show you how HTML and associated files (pictures) can easily be included within a Delphi application. As a result, you simply have to distribute an EXE file that includes HTML pages, as it would do with icons and cursors.
 Creating a HTML page
For the start we have to assemble a (simple) html page. Use your favorite HTML editor and create one page with one associated picture. I'll name mine aboutindex.htm.
Note that when you add a picture tag inside a htm page it looks something like:
We have to alter the IMG tags so that the SRC attribute equals the name we are to give to a picture in a resource:
My HTML code looks like:
HTML inside a Delphi exe This is a HTML Delphi resource test:
 Creating and compiling a resource file
Remember that to create a new resource script file, you have to:
1. Create a new text file in your projects directory.
2. Rename it to AHTMLDelphi.rc.
3. Write down the following two lines of text in the AHTMLDelphi.rc file.
DELPHIINDEX HTML "c:\Delphi\projects\aboutindex.htm"
ABOUTDP GIF "c:\library\graphics\adp.gif"
Note: the resource type "HTML" is RT_HTML, predefined as the resource type "23". This is the default resource type for the RES protocol.
In this way we have prepared one HTML page and one GIF picture to be included in the binary code of our EXE module.
The next step is to compile the.rc file. To compile the AHTMLDelphi.rc file to a.res file execute this command at the command prompt (in the projects directory):
The final step is to add the following compiler directive to a unit in your project. RES file must be included in the program's build by adding a line like this:
{$R AHTMLDelphi.RES}
 Displaying inside a Web browser
When you have the application's exe (let's call it: myhtmldelphi.exe) the HTML resource contained within can be accessed via the RES: protocol. Run Internet Explorer and, in the Address bar, type the following:
This should result in:
HTML page from a Delphi resource
That's it. If you have any questions; like how use the HREF tag inside a html resource, or how to display the html page inside a Delphi form; please post them on the Delphi Programming Forum!

Pistachio Baklava. This Pistachio Baklava is one remarkable ending to the most special meal, whether in Ramadan or any time of the year. I have made baklava before in ways that stray far from tradition. This Turkish-style baklava tastes deeply and richly of pistachio nuts and butter, without the spices, honey or aromatics found in other versions.
This Baklava recipe reigns from Turkey were the best pistachios in. Try a nutty variation of a traditional classic Middle Eastern dessert. Baklawa (or Baklava) is a very popular sweet in many countries and regions: Middle East, Turkey, North Africa, and of course Morocco. You can cook Pistachio Baklava using 9 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
Ingredients of Pistachio Baklava
- Prepare 500 gm of Wheat flour.
- You need 50 gm of Milk powder.
- Prepare 5 ml of Vinegar.
- You need 250 ml of Sugar syrup.
- Prepare 200 gm of Breakfast sugar.
- Prepare 100 ml of Water.
- Prepare 8 ml of Lemon juice.
- Prepare 5 ml of Orange blossom water.
- You need 400 gm of Pistachio power.
It's simply made with layers of phyllo dough and nut filling. We wanted our baklava recipe to produce crisp, flaky, buttery lozenges, light yet rich, filled with fragrant nuts and spices, and sweetened just assertively enough to pair with a Turkish coffee. recipes. Spread walnuts on large rimmed baking sheet. Another sweetness from baklava family :pistachio baklava as the name it's been called with is I'll skip the name and simply call it pistachio baklava, it sounds more appropriate.
Pistachio Baklava instructions
- Step 1 Mix all the ingredients and knead well just to combine..
- Divide the dough to 50 g each. Step 2 Place on a tray. Dust some cornflour, cover with wet muslin cloth and rest overnight in chiller. Step 3 Roll the dough with the help of cornflour. Roll five thin sheets and keep on top of each other and roll again. Step 4 Brush with clarified butter..
- Cut in square shape and fill with fine chopped pistachio. Step 5 Place on a baking tray and pour clarified butter to soak the baklava. Bake.
Pistachio Baklava made with buttery layers of phyllo dough, ground pistachios & toasted cardamom, & drizzled in an orange honey glaze is an amazing treat! Among its ingredients is pistachio which is cultivated in Gaziantep and which is also known as "gray pistachio". Baklava is one of the world's best desserts, no doubt about it. Check out my detailed post on the Turkish version of this pastry with step-by-step photos! I've been so wrapped up with work the past few weeks that I kept missing sunsets and sunrises, except to notice that I missed them.

BSc(Hons) student in 2010
Project: Integrating S.E.A.L into PostgreSQL
and Peter Andreae
SEAL (Simple Entity Association Language) is a declarative language for specifying entity-association queries and queries against EAV (Entity Attribute Value) databases. Entity-association queries return instances of an entity type which satisfy some constraints involving participation in relationships. EAV databases are special relational structures to cope with sparse, multi-valued data and ad-hoc user defined attributes. SQL (Structured Query Language) by itself is poorly suited for expressing entity-association queries and queries against EAV databases, because queries must be nested and involve complex join conditions. S.E.A.L. is an extension of SQL that allows expressing entity association queries in an easy and natural way. This project has been broken into three parts. The first part (successfully completed by Eddie Stanley in 2007) involved defining basic syntax and semantics of the SEAL language and building a Java prototype interpreter as a proof of the concept. The second part (successfully completed by Kunal Madhav in 2009) was extending S.E.A.L. syntax and semantics to provide a wider support for entity-association queries and running a usability test. The third part is integrating SEAL into PostgreSQL and further fine tuning of syntax and semantics. Each part is a separate project. Integration of S.E.A.L. into PostgreSQL may be accomplished in a number of different ways. One is to integrate the SEAL parser into the PostgreSQL parser. The two major steps of this integration are: - Modifying the parser of PostgreSQL to include a new type of Select Statement, which supports the SEAL syntax, and - Rewriting the existing SEAL Java code in C and compile it into PostgreSQL (using Java for this step seems to be a less elegant option). The other possible way of integration is to make a JDBC application that calls S.E.A.L. interpreter and submits generated SQL queries to PostgreSQL. The project needs to analyze available ways of integration and to implement one. Fine tuning of S.E.A.L. syntax and semantics should also be done.

What was patchouli originally used for?
The Origin of Patchouli
Even though it's native to Southeast Asia, the South Indian people, known as the Tamil, actually developed some of its first uses and named the plant. They used it for medicinal purposes, insect repellent, and even in some culinary ways or through herbal teas they drank.
What is the smell of patchouli?
Patchouli is most often associated with the woody fragrance family because of its robust, earthy character, but it's used to create stunning ambery, fougère, and chypre fragrances as well. As a standalone note, most would agree that patchouli mainly smells earthy and musky.
How do you identify patchouli?
Physical description. Patchouli is a shrubby perennial plant that grows up to 1 metre (3 feet) in height. The large fragrant leaves are roughly oval in shape and irregularly toothed and are borne oppositely along the branching stems. Both the stems and the leaves are densely hairy.
Why do hippies use patchouli oil?
The hippie culture emphasized unbounded love and inclusiveness. Patchouli oil is known for its calming and libido-enhancing effect, which made it popular among the hippies.
What smells similar to patchouli?
Check out these seven suggestions if you're considering a patchouli purchase but are looking for something more modern and less Woodstock.
- Tempo by Diptyque.
- Lumière Noire Pour Femme by Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
- Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée by Hermès.
- Music For A While by Frédéric Malle.
- Mistral Patchouli by Atelier Cologne.
What is the oil that hippies use?
Throughout the ages, patchouli oil has been used as an incense. The oil gained popularity in the 60's and 70's mainly because of the hippie generation.
Is patchouli poisonous?
Although you can eat patchouli leaves, the oils are hazardous; call poison control if you swallow it. Keep the oils out of the reach of children, and do not use them on pregnant women or babies.
Is patchouli a strong smell?
Patchouli has a strong, sweet scent that falls into the musky-earthy category. Because of its strong fragrance, it's often used as a base scent in candles and perfumes. (The base scent is the fragrance you smell after the top and mid notes have melted away.)
What color is associated with patchouli?
Patchouli (/pəˈtʃuːli/; Pogostemon cablin) is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, commonly called the mint or deadnettle family. The plant grows as a bushy perennial herb, with erect stems reaching up to 75 centimetres (2.5 ft) in height and bearing small, pale pink-white flowers.
What is the history of patchouli?
A rather surprising and dark historical use, Patchouli was commonly used to mask the smell of human decomposition during funerals for the dead during the 17th to 19th centuries due to its intense scent, in fact the name Patchouli is believed to have come from the Hindi word 'pacholi', which means 'to scent'.
Was patchouli used as an insecticide?
Because of recent awareness of the harmful effects of Deet, patchouli has resurfaced as a popular insecticide for mosquitoes, ants and other pesky bugs. Arabs also used it to repel fleas and lice from bedding. Patchouli is used in aromatherapy both a sedative and a simulant.
Is patchouli a male or female scent?
Patchouli by Reminiscence is a Amber Woody fragrance for women. Patchouli was launched in 1970.
Why is patchouli in so many perfumes?
Due to its intense scent, even when diluted, a little patchouli oil goes a long way. It is most commonly used as a base note in perfumes and is also prized as an excellent fixative (an ingredient that extends the life of other perfume ingredients).
Is patchouli an attractive scent?
Patchouli is a "warm" ingredient, says Freide, which is included in Chanel's Chance perfume. As one of the most popular fragrances in the Chanel scent range, it's easy to see why people love this: It's sexy without being overpowering, thanks to the inclusion of vanilla and the powdery orris.
Do bugs like the smell of patchouli?
Patchouli: Patchouli oil is another excellent essential oil for pest control. It has a strong, earthy scent that bugs hate.


/code> types don't have move semantics, but they act the same at runtime. The only difference is whether the static checks allow you to use the source location afterwards.

All in all, moves in Rust are more ergonomic and less surprising. Rust's treatment of moves should also perform better, because there's no need to leave the source object in a valid state, and there's no need to call move constructors on individual elements of a collection. (But can we benchmark this?)

There's a bunch of other stuff in this chapter that doesn't apply to Rust. For example, "The interaction among perfect-forwarding constructors and compiler-generated copy and move operations develops even more wrinkles when inheritance enters the picture." This is the kind of sentence that will make me run away screaming. Rust doesn't have any of those features, gets by fine without them, and thus avoids such bizarre interactions.

Chapter 6: Lambda Expressions

C++ allows closures to be copied; Rust doesn't.

In C++ you can specify whether a lambda expression's captures are taken into the closure by reference or by value, either individually or for all captures at once. In Rust this is mostly inferred by how you use the captures: whether they are mutated, and whether they are moved from. However, you can prefix the <a href="_URL_ keyword to force all captures to be taken by value. This is useful when the closure itself will outlive its environment, common when spawning threads for example.

Rust uses this inference for another purpose: determining which Fn* traits a closure will implement. If the lambda body moves out of a capture, it can only implement <a href="_URL_ whose "call" operator takes self by value. If it doesn't move but does mutate captures, it will implement FnOnce and <a href="_URL_ whose "call" takes &mut self. And if it neither moves nor mutates, it will implement all of FnOnce, FnMut, and <a href="_URL_ C++ doesn't have traits (yet) and doesn't distinguish these cases. If your lambda moves from a capture, you can call it again and you'll see whatever "empty" value was left behind by the move constructor.

Rust doesn't support init capture; however, move capture is supported natively. You can do whatever init you like outside the lambda and then move the result in.

Like C++, Rust allows inference of closure parameter types. Unlike C++, an individual closure cannot be generic.

Chapter 7: The Concurrency API

Rust doesn't have futures in the standard library; they're part of <a href="_URL_ external library maintained by a core Rust developer. They're also used for <a href="_URL_ I/O.

In C++, dropping a <a href="_URL_ that is still running terminates the program, which certainly seems un-fun to me. The behavior is justified by the possibility that the thread captures by reference something from its spawning context. If the thread then outlived that context, it would result in undefined behavior. In Rust, this can't happen because <a href="_URL_ has a 'static bound on the type of f. So, when a Rust <a href="_URL_ falls out of scope, the thread is safely detached and continues to run.

The other possibility, in either language, is to join threads on drop, waiting for the thread to finish. However this has surprising performance implications and <a href="_URL_ isn't enough to allow threads to safely borrow from their spawning environment. Such "scoped threads" are provided by <a href="_URL_ in Rust and use a different technique to ensure safety.

C++ and Rust both provide atomic variables. In C++ they support standard operations such as assignment, ++, and atomic reads by conversion to the underlying type. These all use the "sequentially consistent" <a href="_URL_ ordering, which provides the strongest guarantees. Rust is more explicit, using dedicated methods like fetch_add which also specify the <a href="_URL_ ordering. (This kind of API is also available in C++.)

This chapter also talks about the C++ type qualifier <a href="_URL_ even though it has to do with stuff like memory-mapped I/O and not threads. Rust doesn't have volatile types; instead, a volatile read or write is done using an <a href="_URL_ function.

Chapter 8: Tweaks

Rust containers don't have methods like <a href="_URL_ You can however use the experimental <a href="_URL_ feature.

Conclusions

Rust and C++ share many features, allowing a detailed comparison between them. Rust is a much newer design that isn't burdened with 20 years of backwards compatibility. This I think is why Rust's versions of these core features tend to be simpler and easier to reason about. On the other hand, Rust gains some complexity by enforcing strong static guarantees.

There are of course some differences of principle, not just historical quirks. C++ has an object system based on classes and inheritance, even allowing multiple inheritance. There's no equivalent in Rust. Rust also prefers simple and explicit semantics, while C++ allows a huge amount of implicit behavior. You see this for example with implicit copy construction, implicit conversions, ad-hoc function overloading, quasi-transparent references, and the operators on atomic values. There are still some implicit behaviors in Rust, but they're carefully constrained. Personally I prefer Rust's explicit style; I find there are too many cases where C++ doesn't "do what I mean". But other programmers may disagree, and that's fine.

I hope and expect that C++ and Rust will converge on similar feature-sets. C++ is scheduled to get <a href="_URL_ proper module system, <a href="_URL_ "concepts" system similar to traits, and <a href="_URL_ subset with statically-checkable memory safety. Rust will eventually have <a href="_URL_ generics, <a href="_URL_ generics, and more powerful const fn. It's an exciting time for both languages :)

Formal methods for software verification are usually seen as a high-cost tool that you would only use on the most critical systems, and only after extensive informal verification. The <a href="_URL_ project aims to be something completely different: a lightweight tool you can use at any stage of everyday software development.

How to Use the VAM Web Site Simulations with
There are two ways that you can use the simulations on the VAM web
site in Powerpoint presentations depending on whether you have fast
Internet access in the lecture room.
If you have fast Internet access in the lecture room:
Create a slide with hypertext that points to a URL for the simulation
that you want to use. During the lecture, click on the hypertext to
access the desired simulation. Run the simulation. When you are done
using the simulation, use the back arrow button on your web browser
toolbar to return to your slide show.
If you do NOT have fast Internet access in the lecture room:
STEP1. To teach with the desired simulation in an area without fast
Internet access, first access the simulation from a laptop, notebook
or portable computer at a nearby location with Internet access. Once
the simulation is working the computer can be disconnected from the
Internet. Make sure your battery has sufficient charge for the trip.
Keeping your portable computer powered and your web-browser running,
transport the computer to the location without Internet access and you
should be able to use the simulation there. If you will use the VAM
simulation and your laptop goes into "sleep" mode, click on
"Reset" (on the orange column on the right of the VAM simulation
screen) and then "Pause Simulation" (an instructor VAM feature)
before transport. When you arrive at the lecture hall, click on "Reset"
before using the VAM simulation.
STEP 2. Create your Powerpoint presentation and create a page with placeholder
text to remind you to go to the simulation. Open your Powerpoint slide
show. When you get to the reminder slide, press the "Alt"
and "Tab" buttons simultaneously. A series of icons representing
the different programs running should be displayed. To navigate to and
select the desired program, keep the "Alt" key down while
pressing and releasing the "Tab" key until the desired icon
is selected. When the icon representing the browser running the simulation
is selected, a square will appear aroud the "e" icon if you
are using Microsoft Internet Explorer. When the desired icon is selected,
release the "Tab" key to bring that program "to the front".
When you are done using the simulation, use the "Alt"/"Tab"
key combination to select the Powerpoint slide show icon and resume

Ajrakh: Part 5: Web of connections
Ajrakh's web of connections
It takes a village to raise a child, goes the old saying. Well, it takes a village to make Ajrakh as well.
Using wood blocks to create designs on fabric is a technique that goes back centuries. Ajrakh belongs to this class of crafts. It originated in Sindh and came into Gujarat.
Step 1: Let us begin with the wood blocks. Ajrakh block carving is itself a highly specialised craft. Today there are just a few Ajrakh block carvers in Pethapur, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The wood that is most suitable comes from local indigenous trees such as babur (Acacia farnesiana), keekar (Acacia arabica) and sisham (Dalbergia sisso). The main trunk of the tree is cut into square blocks of a particular size. Then comes the carving of the design. Negative areas are skilfully carved out to make a wood block that is used for printing.
Step 2: Saaj. The cotton cloth is torn, traditionally by hand, into lengths that are specific and suitable for use. This cloth is soaked overnight in a mixture of soda, castor oil, water and animal dung (cow, camel or goat) to dislodge the starch. The next day, the fabric is watched in running water. The fabric is beaten with a mallet until it is cleaned of starch and other impurities.
Step 3: Kasanu: The next step is to dip the fabric in myrobalan (harda) solution. This prepares the fabric to absorb colour. The solution is made by mixing dry myrobalan powder with castor oil and water.
Step 4: Kiryana: The outlines are drawn. A mixture of gum arabic with lime and water is made into a thick paste. This lime is the main resist with whitening powder, which helps ensure a smooth texture without any cracks and makes the surface impermeable. The same pattern is repeated on the other side of the fabric if the Ajrakh needs to be a double sided one.
Step 5: Kat: Iron acetate is used for the black patterns. It is made by fermenting iron scrap with water, gram flour or besan and molasses for 10 days. This is boiled further to make a thick emulsion by adding tamarind powder and edible oil. This gives a dark black colour. Alum is added to get a greyish tone. If the background of the fabric has black colour, it is painted black using a brush instead of printing the background with blocks.
Step 6: Pah: A mixture of tamarind seeds, alum and water is boiled to make the printing paste red in colour. Since alum is colourless, usually some red colour is mixed in so that the colour is visible and the blocks can be properly aligned. This red colour will wash out. The printed area/alum will develop red colour when the fabric is boiled in alizerine or madder.
Step 7: Gachh: Millet flour is mixed with water and boiled till it becomes a paste. This paste is then mixed with fuller's earth or clay, alum and molasses until all the ingredients are thoroughly dissolved. This thick paste is spread over the fabric and ground cow dung or ground saw dust is sprinkled immediately over it. The fabric is dried under the sun for a few hours. Areas which need to be resisted from the next process of indigo dyeing are printed with this resist paste.
Step 8: Bodaw: The Indigo vat is a deep earthenware pot sunk into the ground. Indigo, lime, soda and dates are the ingredients for making indigo dye. The fabric is carefully pleated and dipped in the vat in parts. The folds are slightly opened to ensure even dyeing. The fabric is taken out, slightly squeezed and spread under the sun. Oxidation takes place in about 20 minutes. The fabric is then folded and rolled into a large bundle ready to be washed the next morning.
Step 9: After indigo dyeing, the fabric is washed to degum the resist print. This will remove the excess indigo, clay, sawdust and other colouring materials which may not have penetrated the fabric's fibre. The fabric is thoroughly washed in running water and laid flat to dry in the sun.
Step 10: Rang: A solution of alizerine (madder), alum and water is boiled in a large container. The fabric is dipped into this boiling solution along with dhawai phool or Woodfordia fruiticosa. The fabric is boiled in the solution until the desired red colour is achieved. Then the fabric is washed, squeezed and dried in the sun.
Step 11: Minakari: To achieve two shades or darker shades of indigo and read, a process called Minakari is followed. This literally means repeating the work So that the earlier steps are repeated to make the shade darker.

The Valencia variety is the number one juicing orange because it does not contain limonin, a chemical which can cause juice to develop a bitter taste after exposure to oxygen.
Valencias apply their own natural sunscreen to protect the fruit s inner-flesh from damaging UV rays.
The natural defence causes the Valencia to reabsorb chlorophyll, which turns the skin slightly green, can make an orange ripe for the eating look like it's not.
As Australias only orange variety grown at the height of summer, this re-greening process keeps the inside fresh and allows the variety to thrive in tropical conditions.

R Type Provider
Developer notes
There are two things that make the R type provider tricky:
 - When you use R provider via NuGet and the F# compiler references the R provider, it attempts to load it from the location where NuGet puts it. This is typically packages/RProvider.1.0.8/lib. This directory does not contain RDotNet.dll (which is installed in packages/R.NET.1.3.5/lib/net40) and so the loading could fail.
 To avoid this, we need to make sure that the assembly that is loaded by the F# compiler (and Visual Studio) does not trigger loading of R.NET immediately - that way, we can setup AssemblyResolve event handler and load R.NET assembly from another directory.
 - Connecting to R is not entirely stable and so we do not want to crash the F# compiler (or Visual Studio) when something goes wrong with R. For this reason, we run the type discovery in a separate process and communicate with it via .NET remoting.
Project structure
To solve the two issues outlined above, the project structure looks like this:
Things to keep in mind
Here is what you need to know about individual assemblies in the solution:
 - RProvider.Runtime.dll - this is the assembly that contains most of the interesting runtime functionality (such as initialization of R, interop with R and converters that convert values between F# and R). It also contains helpers (logging, etc.).
 This assembly references R.NET in its public assemblies and so when it is loaded, .NET needs to be able to load R.NET (i.e. the AssemblyResolve event handler needs to be set up).
 - RProvider.dll - this is the assembly that the user of R provider will reference. It does not contain any useful code - it only contains TypeProviderAssembly attribute pointing to the assembly with the actual type provider code.
 Note that we cannot put the functionality from RProvider.Runtime.dll here, because the code needs to be referenced by the other two assemblies (that are compiled before the type provider can be loaded).
 - RProvider.DesignTime.dll - this is where the type provider code lives. This sets up AssemblyResolve event handler and then it generates types (by calling the RProvider.Server.exe to do the type discovery).
 - RProvider.Server.exe - this is started as a stand-alone process that performs type and package discovery in R. It is called by the DesignTime component and restarted automatically. This also needs to setup the AssemblyResolve event handler.

The connected classroom climate centers on supportive student-to-student communication in the classroom, and may provide students enrolled in public speaking courses with a safe and comfortable haven to present speeches.
This study examined student connectedness in public speaking courses and it's affect on students' (N = 368) communication abilities. Results revealed positive perceptions of student connectedness related to decreases in public speaking anxiety and public speaking apprehension, as well as increases in perceptions of communication competence.
These outcomes suggest public speaking instructors should consider the relationships that exist among students and how they may further encourage connectedness in their classrooms.

National Transportation Safety Board
Office of Public Affairs
Washington, DC - The National Transportation Safety Board determined today that the probable cause of the 2007 pipeline rupture near Carmichael, Mississippi was the failure of a weld that caused the pipe to fracture along the longitudinal seam weld, a portion of the upstream girth weld, and portions of the adjacent pipe joints.
On November 1, 2007, a 12-inch diameter pipeline segment operated by Dixie Pipeline Company was transporting liquid propane at about 1,405 pounds per square inch gauge, when it ruptured, releasing about 431,000 gallons of propane, in a rural area near Carmichael, Mississippi. As a result, the propane began to vaporize and form a cloud that expanded over nearby homes. Local emergency responders received calls informing them of the smell of gas and the sighting of white gas. Approximately seven-and-a-half minutes after the rupture, the vapors ignited, creating a fireball. There were two fatalities and several minor injuries.
The accident pipe was manufactured in 1961 using the lowfrequency electric resistance welding (ERW) process for longitudinal seam welds. The majority of ruptures in ERW pipe involve the longitudinal seams. At the time of the accident, no confirmed in-service pipeline ruptures in girth welds had been reported for the entire pipeline since it was installed. Additionally, segments of the accident pipe had been inspected multiple times since 1998, using in-line inspection tools.
As a result of the investigation, the Safety Board issued recommendations to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the Clarke County Board of Supervisors, the American Petroleum Institute, and Dixie Pipeline Company on testing of pipeline, public awareness, and training and drills for 911 personnel.
A summary of the findings of the Board's report is available on the NTSB's website.

This audit was carried out in the context of Languages Connect, Ireland's Strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017-2026 and Implementation Plan 2017-2022. The audit sought to identify the range of languages schools offer, the languages schools wish to offer, and the range of language teachers employed in schools. It was also intended to identify teachers who are qualified to teach a foreign language but who may not currently have the opportunity to teach that language in their schools, with a view to providing opportunities and incentives for these teachers to upskill by means of CPD or post-graduate courses. Finally, it sought to identify locations where there is a level of interest and demand for mother tongue support to inform further provision. The results of the audit will be used to inform future actions which will be taken as part of the foreign languages strategy. Data is presented on the breakdown of languages taken throughout the different stages of school, including in junior cycle, transition year, and Leaving Certificate. This data highlights the dominance of French, and the various factors that influence how many languages a school is likely to offer. Data is presented on foreign language teachers in schools and spare capacity, or lack thereof, and the demand for upskilling. The languages that schools would like to be able to offer is also presented. The languages spoken in schools in addition to English and Irish are presented, as well as data on the provision of non-curricular languages as part of the Leaving Certificate, and support classes for these languages.

Education Secretary John Swinney says the Scottish Government are considering a'staggered' approach to allowing students to return home for Christmas.
It comes as students from Edinburgh University held a protest yesterday over the'mistreatment' they have faced over being forced to self-isolate in halls and given "false promises of hybrid learning."
John Swinney said that the Scottish Government is "learning lessons" from the Covid outbreaks sparked by the return of students and that will help them decide how they return at Christmas.
The Education Secretary is now holding talks with other UK nations to discuss what approach they can take to stop another sudden spike in Covid-19 cases.
The Education Secretary with Nicola Sturgeon
Speaking on the issue, he told the BBC's Politics Scotland programme: "Some of the points that we're looking at are around staggered returns of students so that they don't all come back in one go, that we look at arrangements for how testing can be part of the architecture of how we handle that return.
"What we expect of students when they are returning home and when they're coming back into universities and how they will spend their time, how their learning will be undertaken - these are all issues that are being explored."
The Scottish Government is now considering a system of mass testing which would be supported by a staggered return of students to stop the testing system getting overwhelmed.
He added: "These are some of the options that are being looked at and obviously... the practicalities of that are changed and eased if the return of students is staggered over a longer period."

Top Ten Tuesday
So I'm posting my Top Ten Tuesday on a Wednesday. I really need to remember not to order the second margarita when I go to Pasqual's.
Top Ten Books I'd Recommend to Someone Who Doesn't Read About Africa
1. We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families by Philip Gourevitch. The book is a bit dated; by now I would hope that most people have some familiarity with the Rwandan genocide. And it isn't flawless. But I think it gives one of the better accounts of the events and is a good source for starting to understand how the West both created many of Africa's contemporary struggles and continues to refuse responsibility.
2. This Voice in My Heart by Gilbert Tuhabonye and Gary Brozek. Despite what's been portrayed in the media and by Hollywood, the "Rwandan" genocide wasn't just about Rwanda. As Tuhabonye, an Olympic-level runner and sole survivor of the massacre of his schoolmates in Burundi, shows in his memoir, the violence encompassed a whole region and many of the victims, survivors, and perpetrators continue to be ignored. (See also, Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder)
3. What is the What by Dave Eggers. Yes, another book on violence and genocide. Unfortunately, that's a lot of what is published about Africa in the West. Eggers does a solid job of sharing the story of Valentino Achak Deng, one of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan. For me, the real strength of the book isn't in its retelling of the violence that Deng faced in Sudan, but rather in its portrayal of Deng's struggles once he had arrived to the "safety" of the West. So often the story of refugees ends with "They arrived in the West and lived happily ever after," but as Eggers shows, that is far from the reality for many.
4. King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild. We used this in the introduction to Africa course for which I was a teaching assistant, and the students found it both accessible and eye opening. Hochschild examines the colonization of Africa through the example of the brutal enslavement of the Congo. It's a good introduction to a part of history that most of us never got in school yet is essential for understanding contemporary Africa.
5. Weep Not, Child by James Ngugi (aka, Ngugi wa Thiong'o). The debut novel of one of Africa's foremost writers. Yes, it is also about violence and colonialism (specifically the Mau Mau resistance movement in 1950s Kenya), but it is also a beautifully rendered coming-of-age story about a young man struggling to find his place in the world.
6. Africa Since 1940 by Frederick Cooper. Much more academic than the previous books, but still a very readable and accessible primer on African history and the forces that have shaped contemporary Africa. Should be required reading for anyone engaging in humanitarian or voluntary work in Africa.
7. Global Shadows by James Ferguson. Again, a rather academic book, although written at a level that's accessible to your average undergraduate and doesn't require more than a cursory background on Africa (although I would strongly recommend reading the Cooper book first). Ignore the god-awful ugly cover and the boring title. Taking a more contemporary and broad approach to Africa, Ferguson considers Africa's place in the global community and, in the process, challenges simplistic models for understanding a complex continent.
8. A Heart for the Work by Claire Wendland. I promise: I'm not just recommending this book because it was written by my advisor (she doesn't even know about this blog---I hope---so I'm not actually earning any brownie points for this). Or because it's about Malawi. This is an extremely well-written book, and although its focus is on medical training in Malawi, I think it has a lot to say more generally about why so many African countries are so intractably mired in persistent, severe poverty.
9. Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Like Ngugi, Adichie both depicts a specific historical moment---in this case, the Biafran war---and weaves a beautiful, timeless epic that transcends its setting.
10. TBD. I'm not sure how to interpret that I can't come up with a tenth book to recommend for people who don't normally read about Africa. Have I just not read sufficiently myself? Certainly that's true, particularly for fiction and creative works. Or is there a lack of good books about Africa that are accessible to general readers? I think that's also true, especially for nonfiction books. I have pages and pages of African Studies references, but most of the books are (1) dead boring, (2) deeply flawed, or (3) both. There just aren't a lot of books out there---at least, that I know of---that are both well written and rigorously researched.
A few that I thought about recommending include Compassion Fatigue by Susan Moeller; The Road to Hell by Michael Maren; and The Lords of Poverty by Graham Hancock. These are all highly readable, provocative books that reframe much of what we think we know about contemporary Africa and particularly about humanitarism. But they are also very polemical---and are quickly becoming outdated---so I wouldn't put them on a top-ten list. (Although I would definitely recommend reading any of them once you've finished the top ten or if you have a solid background in African Studies and can approach them with a more critical eye.)

Top Ten Tuesday
10 Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book
I (almost) always enjoy writing about books, but this week's Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and the Bookish was more fun than usual. In trying to narrow down the list to just ten, I looked up various authors' bibliographies and was reminded of the many, many books that some of my favorite authors have written but I haven't yet read (despite having a good number of those titles in my home library). And I found a few that having upcoming novels that I didn't know about (New Toni Morrison! Yay!).
So now I have an even longer list of To Be Read Books to keep me occupied while I wait for the following authors to produce new works:
1. Margaret Atwood. Based on her Twitter updates, Atwood is working on a new novel, and I CANNOT WAIT.
2. Madeleine L'Engle. In particular, I wish she would have written a fifth installment in her Crosswicks Journal before leaving us.
3. Jonathan Kozol. One of the best writers on education and poverty. We desperately need his perspective on the current policy environment.
4. Bonnie Jo Campbell. Loved Once Upon a River. LOVED American Salvage. Campbell needs to write more, right now.
5. Joanna Kavenna. Like Campbell, Kavenna has a gift for devestatingly bleak realism. More please!
6. Marjane Satrapi. Persepolis is one of my all-time favorite books, and I think it's been time enough for her to add Vol. 3.
7. Michael Pollan. As much as I love his writing on food systems, I'd really like for him to apply his enthusiasm and engaging writing to a new topic.
8. Jeffrey Eugenides. So including Eugenides is a bit unfair because he did just release The Marriage Plot a couple of months ago. But I'm already itching for his next one. Please don't make us wait another nine years!
9. Muriel Barbery. Her fantastically absurb and whimsical novels are a nice antidote to aforementioned bleak realism.
10. Tim Gunn. Because we can never have enough Gunn in our lives.

HR®-25 is a high-temperature retarder/ intensifier. As a stand-alone retarder, HR-25 retarder/intensifier can be used to gel cement. However, this product was primarily designed for intensifying common retarders, such as SCR-100™ retarder.
HR-25 retarder/intensifier can be used at bottomhole circulating temperatures (BHCTs) between 200°F and 400°F (93°C and 204°C). Normal retarder/intensifier concentrations are 0.5% to 2.0%.
HR-25 retarder/intensifier can provide the following benefits:
This product is highly soluble in water. Consequently, it exhibits more uniform thickening times in the laboratory and has less effect on cement compressive-strength development, especially at the top of a long cement column.
Can be added directly to the mixing water, or it can be dry-blended.
Interacts well with other cement additives.
Helps extend pumping times.
Allows improved displacement rates at steady pressures.
Allows operators to better predict thickening times.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not classify HR-25 retarder/ intensifier a as hazardous waste.

Maputo — The rate of inflation in Mozambique in February, as measured by the consumer price indices for the three largest cities (Maputo, Nampula and Beira), was 0.39 per cent, the National Statistics Institute (INE) announced on Friday.
This is a decline on the January inflation rate which was 0.98 percent, and it is a much lower rate than in February 2013, when prices rose by 1.16 per cent.
Most of the significant February price rises were for foodstuffs. The rises which had most impact on the consumer price index were for tomatoes (15.4 per cent), cabbage (12.4 per cent), lettuce (14.2 per cent), and coconuts (2.7 per cent). Between them these four products pushed the overall level of prices up by 0.47 per cent. Tomatoes alone were responsible for pushing the consumer price index up by 0.32 per cent.
On the other hand, several key foods fell in price - the price of cassava flour declined by 6.7 per cent, while potatoes and onions were 4.4 per cent and 1.5 per cent cheaper respectively.
The accumulated inflation so far this year is 1.37 per cent. At the same time in 2013, it was 2.52 per cent.
Comparing prices this February with prices in February 2013, the increase has been 2.38 per cent.
The average 12 monthly inflation rate over the past year was 4.14 per cent - down from 4.29 per cent in January.
There were significant differences in the inflation rate between the three cities. Maputo saw the sharpest price rises in February, of 0.66 per cent, while in Beira and Nampula price rises were minimal. In Nampula the consumer price index rose by 0.13 per cent, and in Beira by 0.11 per cent.
But when the entire past year is taken into consideration, Nampula had the highest inflation rate of the three cities, at 3.43 per cent, followed by Maputo with 2.26 per cent. In Beira, however, prices only rose by 0.63 per cent.

This mural was a collaborative project between the Lummi Cedar Project (Community Partner) Tami Chock. NWIC's Art History Class taught by Ramon Murillo and WWU's Art History Class taught by Julia Sapien Both are the (Instructional component of the project).
This project was a group effort brought together by the Centers for Service Learning at Northwest Indian College and at Western Washington University. The project was meant to foster a sense of cultural understand between Lummi and Bellingham and to build bridges and break barriers, as well as work to end some stereotypes that exist. The artwork will find its permanent home at the Lummi Youth/Teen Center.
The artwork depicted represents thoughts, ideas and heartfelt dialogues and discussions that the Lummi Cedar Project hosted and invited Elders and other members of the community to participate in. Lummi really opened up their homes to allow the students to enter and be able to complete this work!
