Tom Parker of boyband The Wanted has revealed that he has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour.
The 32 year old singer from Bolton shared the sad news on Instagram, where he and his wife Kelsey explained that the tumour is inoperable, but that he is currently undergoing treatment.
What did Tom Parker say in his Instagram post?
Parker shared a photo of himself with his wife and 16 month old daughter, Aurelia Rose, alongside a caption explaining his diagnosis.
The singer wrote, "Hey guys, you know that we've both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it's time to tell you why.
The couple announced in May that they were expecting their second baby together.
Tom told OK! Magazine that he's "still in complete shock, it's so much to take in."
Tom told the magazine that he underwent tests after he began suffering from unexplained seizures, with doctors revealing six weeks ago that he had a grade four glioblastoma.
The singer is now undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.
What is a glioblastoma?
The Mayo Clinic explains that "glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells."
Also known as glioblastoma multiforme, the cancer can be very difficult to treat and a cure is often not possible, but treatments may slow progression of the cancer and reduce signs and symptoms. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures.
"For people who can't undergo surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be used as a primary treatment," adds the Mayo Clinic.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams (such as X-rays or protons) to kill cancer cells. In contrast to this, chemotherapy uses medicine to kill cancer cells.
The NHS explains, "There are many different types of chemotherapy medicine, but they all work in a similar way.
"They stop cancer cells reproducing, which prevents them from growing and spreading in the body."

Approved Clearing and Grading Plan
A plan that preserves approximately 20% of the Fenton site in buffers and open space was approved by the Town's Development Review Committee in March 2019. The buffer and open space areas will protect streams and trees on the site from development activity, and will support community goals related to water quality, air quality, wildlife habitat, screening of adjacent neighborhoods, and community appearance.
The approved plan allows the Fenton developer to begin development-related activity on the site, with the following key activities:
- Installation of Tree Protection Fencing
- Inspection and Approval of Fencing
- Installation of Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Devices
- Inspection of Erosion and Sedimentation Control Devices
- Approval of a Certificate of Compliance
- Tree Removal (will occur in phases)
- Earth-Moving (Grading) activity
The full plan set can be accessed via the Town's online plan review software (IDT).

When Chicago Tribune transportation reporter Jon Hilkevitch was 13 years old, he and his grandmother took a ride on the opening day of what is now the Dan Ryan branch of the CTA Red Line -- a branch soon to face massive reconstruction.
In the Tribune newsroom on Thursday, Jon had a button from the line's opening day in his pocket, and the Tribune was preparing to run a story and graphic about the ambitious project to rebuild the Red Line through the South Side.
There's nothing about that button in Jon's pocket that is new -- what used to be the "CTA Dan Ryan Line" on Chicago's South Side hasn't been new since it opened on Sept. 28, 1969. The fare then was 40 cents.
Background on the project
Later to be called the Red Line Dan Ryan branch, the line was built, starting in 1967, in the median of what previously was the South Expressway, which later was renamed to honor Dan Ryan, president of the Cook County Board who died a year before the expressway opened in 1961.
Now, almost 44 years later, the railroad tracks and all supporting systems on the approximately 10-mile branch are at the end of their useful life and need replacing. A whole new railroad will be built starting May 19.
Visualizing the future
A Tribune story by Jon and a graphic by producers Jemal R. Brinson and Kyle Bentle will take readers into the construction zone.
As the CTA prepares to shut down and rebuild such a large portion of the Red Line, Jemal was charged with explaining each phase of the construction, visually, in a diagram.
The process started by interviewing CTA sources on how they will do the work. They sent us images of machines, information and schematics of the process.
The next phase involved sketching, taking photos, and meeting with graphics editors to make sure the focus of the graphic was sound. Jemal then took time to understand each part of the process so he could re-create each sequence accurately.
Jemal used several programs to produce the final images. A 3-D animation program was used to model and render the scenes. This kind of program lets graphics producers focus on specific parts of complicated proccesses.
The final piece of the puzzle involved writing the text describing the steps.
There'll be more explaining to do as the reconstruction begins. Like Jon's button, we've got the past in hand. The key will be in laying out the future.

Binghamton University research links digital images and cameras
Child pornographers will soon have a harder time escaping prosecution thanks to a stunning new technology in development at Binghamton University, State University of New York, that can reliably link digital images to the camera with which they were taken, in much the same way that tell-tale scratches are used by forensic examiners to link bullets to the gun that fired them.
"The defense in these kind of cases would often be that the images were not taken by this person's camera or that the images are not of real children," said Jessica Fridrich, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. "Sometimes child pornographers will even cut and paste an image of an adult's head on the image of a child to try to avoid prosecution.
"But if it can be shown that the original images were taken by the person's cell phone or camera, it becomes a much stronger case than if you just have a bunch of digital images that we all know are notoriously easy to manipulate."
Fridrich and two members of her Binghamton University research team – Jan Lukas and Miroslav Goljan – are coinventors of the new technique, which can also be used to detect forged images.
The three have applied for two patents related to their technique, which provides the most robust strategy for digital image forgery detection to date, even as it improves significantly on the accuracy of other approaches.
Fridrich's technique is rooted in the discovery by her research group of this simple fact: Every original digital picture is overlaid by a weak noise-like pattern of pixel-to-pixel non-uniformity.
Although these patterns are invisible to the human eye, the unique reference pattern or "fingerprint" of any camera can be electronically extracted by analyzing a number of images taken by a single camera.
That means that as long as examiners have either the camera that took the image or multiple images they know were taken by the same camera, an algorithm developed by Fridrich and her co-inventors to extract and define the camera's unique pattern of pixel-to-pixel non-uniformity can be used to provide important information about the origins and authenticity of a single image.
The limitation of the technique is that it requires either the camera or multiple images taken by the same camera, and isn't informative if only a single image is available for analysis.
Like actual fingerprints, the digital "noise" in original images is stochastic in nature – that is, it contains random variables – which are inevitably created during the manufacturing process of the camera and its sensors. This virtuallyensures that the noise imposed on the digital images from any particular camera will be consistent from one image to the next, even while it is distinctly different.
In preliminary tests, Fridrich's lab analyzed 2,700 pictures taken by nine digital cameras and with 100 percent accuracy linked individual images with the camera that took them.
Fridrich, who specializes in all aspects of information hiding in digital imagery, including watermarking for authentication, tamper detection, self-embedding, robust watermarking, steganography and steganalysis, as well as forensic analysis of digital images, says it is the absence of the expected digital fingerprint in any portion of an image that provides the most conclusive evidence of image tampering.
In the near future, Fridrich's technique promises to find application in the analysis of scanned and video imagery. There it can be expected to make life more difficult for forgers, or any others whose criminal pursuits rely on the misuse of digital images.
"We already know law enforcement wants to be able to use this," Fridrich said. "What we have right now is a research tool; it's a raw technology that we will continue to improve."

Brush Lettering
Hey guys! It's me again.
Want to start brush lettering but don't know how? If you haven't done Faux Calligraphy, go ahead and check out the post. To do either, you need a rudimentary knowledge of cursive. If you don't know how, I recommend using the D'Nealian or the Spencerian Method. I did the the D'Nealian method and now I doing the Spencerian method which is great!
To brush letter, you'll need: paper, a brush pen (best brush pen to start with is Tombow Fudenoske (comes in hard and soft tip)). I'm using normal printer paper and (what brush)
Step 1. Remember upstrokes and down-strokes? (insert photo) Practice thick down-strokes and thin upstrokes. Don't be afraid to push down on the brush tip. 🎨
Step 2. Let's do the letter "a," a cursive letter "a."
Remember to achieve downstrokes and maintain your marker, hold the tip at a 45 degree angle to the paper.
Step 3. Practice is the key to mastery (maybe I heard it somewhere 😊)
PRACTICE is the only advice I can give to getting better. I started brush lettering maybe a year and half ago.
Tell how you did!! and practice!

Swedism: 'Racist' Bird Names Banned by Sweden's Ornithological Society
Eli Stenson
Daily Stormer
February 21, 2015
These swifts will no longer be called "kaffers" because of political correctness.
Thanks to Swedism, these swifts will no longer be called "kaffers."
Sweden's at it again, folks. Their Ornithological Society has decided to ban certain bird names that "sound racist" or whatever. Because things that sound racist are just another stumbling block to the emergence of a post-racial utopia.
The Local:
Four different bird species which include the word "neger" ("negro") have been renamed using "svart" ("black") instead.
Other feathered creatures known as "swifts" in English will no longer be called "kaffer" in Swedish. This word, which can also be spelt "caffer" and "kaffir" is a racist term that has been used by white South Africans towards black South Africans.
So white-rumped swifts will now be known as "vitgumpseglare" in Swedish.
"Hottentott", a species of dabbling duck is also being renamed because the word "Hottentot" is a derogatory term for a group of indigenous people called the "Khoikhoi" living in South Africa. The term is thought to refer to their language, which includes clicking sounds.
"Zigenarfågel" which translates as "gypsy bird" will take the name "hoatzin", the English word already used to describe a type of tropical pheasant found in swamps and forests.
The racial sensitivity of Sweden is so remarkable. Humanity ought to be thankful for Sweden's role as a beacon of light in the world.

Basic things about men's wardrobe
To look dignified, the man should choose the following basic elements of the wardrobe correctly:
And if the choice of trousers with shoes is always individual. Then for the rest, you can formulate general rules.
How to choose a shirt
- The shape of the collar should be chosen based on the characteristics of the face. If it is narrow, it is better than the collar should be sharpened. And if wide – prefer the blunt angles.
- Choose the color of the shirt for the color of your skin. If the shirt is brighter than you, then it will emphasize all the defects. For example, make visually more visible bags under the eyes.
- Check the size of the shirt correctly. First, look at the place of the shoulder seams. Secondly, pay attention to the length of the sleeve. When the arm is lowered, the sleeve should be slightly below the wrist.
How to choose a jacket
- It is important to choose the right jacket for the size. Notice how the shoulder seam lay. Be sure to check the length of the sleeve – it should be such that the cuffs of the shirt look out.
- Choose the color of the jacket depending on where you intend to put it on. For example, for work – gray, in the club – blue, in the yacht club – white, etc.
- Pay attention to the texture and drawing of the fabric. They need to be selected for the season and the situation.
- Lapels should be in harmony with facial features. If the face is narrow, pick up the pointed lapels. If wide – then lapels, respectively, should be wider than usual.
- Look at the number of buttons. If you have low growth, then let them be 1-2, not more. And, if the buttons are more than two, the lower one should always be bent. This is a rule of etiquette!
- The number of slots (cuts) and their position should also be selected for their type of figure.
- Pay attention to the shape of the pockets. They can attach the unnecessary volume to the abdomen.
- If there are elbow pins on the jacket, they set the tone for all other elements of the image. For example, if the armrests are brown, then shoes, and accessories, too, should be in brown color.
- The width of the necktie must be chosen from the width of the face. The wider the face, the wider the tie. And vice versa. In addition, the width of the tie should match the sphere of work of the man. Officials and businessmen are more suitable for wide ties, representatives of creative specialties – more narrow.
- The color of the tie should be chosen for your color. If your hair is dark, and the skin is light, then it's better to buy a contrast tie, for example, dark blue, burgundy, and emerald. If your hair is light, then you should prefer gray, beige and other muted colors.
- It's important to match the tie to the suit. First of all, with a shirt. They must be in harmony with each other. For example, if the shirt is white and the jacket is dark blue, then the tie must be saturated color. And if the rest of the outfit is light shades, then it's worth choosing a pastel tie, a muted color.
How to choose a belt
- It is necessary to know exactly what you are wearing a belt for trousers or jeans. On this depends its width: for trousers – 2-3 cm, for jeans – 4-5 (+ more massive buckle).
- The color of the belt should be in harmony with the color of the other accessories. For example, if the belt is brown, then it is desirable that in the same range there are socks and shoes.
- The length of the belt is determined by the number of holes in it. Usually, there are 5. It is important that you can fasten the belt to the third, maximum, fourth hole.
- The buckle must not be fanciful. The bad taste is the brand logo on a fist-sized buckle. The buckle is also worth choosing under the shape of the face. If the face has more smooth lines – choose a buckle in the shape of an oval or a circle. If more sharp, graphic lines – it is better to give preference to rectangular or triangular buckles.

Do face masks pollute?
A single face mask can release as many as 173,000 microfibers per day into the seas, according to a study in Environmental Advances. "They're not going anywhere," says Nicholas Mallos, who oversees the Ocean Conservancy's marine debris program.
Are disposable masks polluting the earth?
Given an annual production figure of 52 billion disposable masks and a loss rate of 3\% (the percentage of masks that escape water management systems), the team concluded that nearly 1.6 billion face masks wound up in our oceans in 2020. This amounts to approximately 5,500 tons of plastic pollution.
Are blue face masks biodegradable?
Are disposable face masks biodegradable? Don't put masks, gloves or other personal protective equipment (PPE) in the recycling. They cannot be recycled. The regular disposable face masks are not biodegradable, and need to be disposed of safely to prevent spreading infection.
How can mask pollution be prevented?
He said it's important to throw away face masks in garbage cans that have a lid and a garbage bag that will be tied together when it's removed to keep them from falling out or blowing away.
Why do disposable masks smell like chemicals?
"When you're using a surgical mask, you're breathing on it and your respiratory particles land on the mask. The bacteria in those particles can then grow and cause an odor you find distasteful," Dr. Sutton explains.
Do surgical masks help with air pollution?
One-strap paper or ordinary surgical masks can help reduce transmission of large infected droplets as long as they're used along with other protective measures, such as social distancing. However, these masks are not effective against coarse and fine pollution particles ranging from 0.3-10 microns in size.
Are disposable gloves bad for the environment?
Are disposable gloves bad for the environment? Yes. Disposable gloves are unrecyclable and millions end up in our landfills every year. Even gloves made from latex (a natural rubber) take a long time to biodegrade because other chemicals are added to the gloves.
Is face mask made of plastic?
To control the spread of the virus, face mask is used as primary personal protective equipment (PPE). Thus, the production and usage of face masks significantly increase as the COVID-19 pandemic still escalating. Further, most of these masks contain plastics or other derivatives of plastics.
How can we minimize the harmful effects of the environment?
Measuring and Reducing Your Environmental Impact
- Use energy more efficiently. Producing electricity and natural gas and delivering it to your door generates greenhouse gas emissions.
- Install renewables.
- Conserve water.
- Reduce, reuse, recycle.
- Travel less.
- Consider near sourcing.
- Ship goods more efficiently.
What are disposable masks made out of?
Surgical face masks are made with non-woven fabric, which has better bacteria filtration and air permeability while remaining less slippery than woven cloth. The material most commonly used to make them is polypropylene, either 20 or 25 grams per square meter (gsm) in density.
What are bad ingredients in face masks?
The Top 12 Ingredients To Avoid In Your Skincare:
- DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (Monoethanolamine), and TEA (triethanolamine)
- DMDM HYDANTOIN & UREA (Imidazolidinyl)
- MINERAL OIL.
- PARABENS (Methyl, Butyl, Ethyl, Propyl)
- PEG (Polyethylene glycol)
- PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PG) & BUTYLENE GLYCOL.

text: The aim of this paper was to review in vitro and in situ studies that directly compared the use of bovine teeth as a substitute for human teeth in dental experiments. A PubMed search was conducted for papers published from 1953 to December 30, 2010 using the following keywords: "human bovine enamel" or "human bovine dentin" or "human bovine teeth". The abstracts of the studies resulting from the keyword search were read, and all papers that compared human and bovine teeth were fully read. Only original articles written in English and directly comparing human and bovine substrates were included in the review. The search was supplemented by manual searches of the reference lists from each identified paper. Out of 76 studies initially selected, 68 fulfilled the selection criteria for inclusion. The studies covered seven categories: dental morphology, chemical composition, physical properties, dental caries, dental erosion/abrasion, bonding/adhesive strength, and marginal microleakage. Inconsistent data exist regarding whether bovine teeth can be considered an appropriate substitute for human teeth in dental research. Morphological, chemical compostion and physical property differences between the two substrates must be considered when interpreting results obtained from any experiment using bovine tooth substrate.

How to Cure an Ageing Barrel
To enjoy your aged spirits, you must first go through the process of barrel curing. If you don't cure the barrel you will not be able to use it. Curing is the process of soaking the wood so that it does not absorb your precious spirits during ageing. Having the wood absorb moisture will make it expand. The curing process helps to get rid of any gaps in the wood, and gives the hoops a tighter grip. When you first receive your barrel, you may notice small gaps in the staves, or loosened hoops. This is normal as changes in temperature and humidity will cause the wood to expand or shrink in transit. As our barrels are hand made in America, they have a long journey before reaching you. Do not nail or screw the hoops into place. This will damage your barrel. Before curing your barrel tightly insert the spigot using a rubber mallet.
What is Barrel Curing?
The curing process helps you identify leaks in your barrel. All barrels are made without any prolonged contact with moisture, so they are as far from ready as they can be. When you fill your barrel for the first time there will almost certainly be leaks.
How Long Does it Take to Cure a Barrel?
The curing process can take up to a week, but this is an essential part of barrel ageing. Each barrel is unique, as the wood from each tree is unique. There is no set time for the barrel curing process.
How to Cure an Oak Barrel
 1. Rinse your barrel 3 times with water to remove any loose charred debris. Fill the barrel from the top, and flush it through the spigot
 2. Fill the barrel with warm water and insert the bung. Make sure to fill the barrel to the top until you can't fit any more in. Every part of the inside of the barrel needs to be in contact with the water
 3. If you identify leaks in your barrel, apply a small amount of barrel wax to the leaking area. Push the wax in to the hole until the leaking stops
 4. Top up the water after fixing any leaks
 5. Leave the barrel in a cool place, out of direct sunlight. We recommend placing on a drip tray to prevent damage to any surfaces
 6. Check for leaks periodically and apply barrel wax where needed
 7. Regularly top up the water to ensure all parts of the barrel absorb water
 8. The barrel is ready when it can hold water for at least 3 hours
 9. Once your barrel has stopped leaking, rinse it through 3 times
 10. Allow the barrel to dry for 3 hours before filling with your spirits
Your barrel is now ready to age spirits. Read our guide on How To Barrel Age Spirits for more information.

completeness theorem for propositional logic
The completeness theorem of propositional logicPlanetmathPlanetmath is the statement that a wff is tautologyMathworldPlanetmath iff it is a theorem. The if part of the statement is the soundness theorem, and the only if part is the completeness theorem. We will prove the two parts separately here. We begin with the easier one:
Theorem 1.
Propositional logic is sound with respect to truth-value semantics.
Basically, we need to show that every axiom is a tautology, and that the inference rule modus ponensMathworldPlanetmath preserves truth. Since theorems are deduced from axioms and by applications of modus ponens, they are tautologies as a result.
Using truth tablesMathworldPlanetmath, one easily verifies that every axiom is true (under any valuation). For example, if the axiom is of the form A(BA), then we have
Before proving the completeness portion of the theorem, we need the following

The Object generated by the asynchronous operation.
asyncResult parameter value is
asyncResult object was not created by a preceding call of the BeginInvoke(Delegate) method from the same control.
If the asynchronous operation has not been completed, this function will block until the result is available.
In addition to the InvokeRequired property, there are four methods on a control that are thread safe: Invoke, BeginInvoke, EndInvoke, and CreateGraphics if the handle for the control has already been created. Calling CreateGraphics before the control's handle has been created on a background thread can cause illegal cross thread calls. For all other method calls, you should use one of the invoke methods to marshal the call to the control's thread.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) will lead the industry in celebrating National Public Works Week May 21–27.
The event—with the theme "Public Works: The Heart of Every Community"—is designed to raise awareness of public works issues and call attention to the efforts of the thousands of people who provide and maintain the nation's infrastructure and services. Established as a public education campaign by the association in 1960, the event calls attention to the importance of public works in everyday life. Over the years, observances have included parades, displays of public works equipment, high-school essay contests, open houses, programs for civic organizations, and media events.
The APWA offers a poster and other materials to aid departments in commemorating the event. For more information, visit _URL_.


How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Quick Answer
Since 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, and 2 tablespoons make 1 fluid ounce, 1 ounce is equivalent to 6 teaspoons. Care must be taken to distinguish between measurements of weight and volume in this case, as dry ounces and liquid ounces measure weight and volume, respectively.

How many teaspoons are equal to 1 ounce?
Credit: liz west CC-BY 2.0
Full Answer
Since a teaspoon is a measure of volume, it cannot be directly converted to dry ounces, which measure weight. Confusion between the two units can result in radically different amounts of ingredients being added to recipes, depending on the density of the ingredient. Fluid ounces are also defined slightly differently in the United States and Great Britain. A fluid ounce of water in Great Britain weighs exactly 1 dry ounce, but in the United States 1 fluid ounce of water is somewhat more than a dry ounce in weight.

Well, you could just divide by 1,000,000,000:
long elapsedTime = end - start;
double seconds = (double)elapsedTime / 1_000_000_000.0;
If you use TimeUnit to convert, you'll get your result as a long, so you'll lose decimal precision but maintain whole number precision.

The increasing popularity of ambient assisted living solutions is claiming adaptive and scalable tools to monitor activities of daily living. Currently, most sensor-based activity recognition techniques rely on supervised learning algorithms. However, the acquisition of comprehensive training sets of activities in smart homes is expensive and violates the individual's privacy. In this work, we address this problem by proposing a novel hybrid approach that couples collaborative active learning with probabilistic and knowledge-based reasoning. The rationale of our approach is that a generic, and possibly incomplete, knowledge-based model of activities can be refined to target specific individuals and environments by collaboratively acquiring feedback from inhabitants. Specifically, we propose a collaborative active learning method exploiting users' feedback to (i) refine correlations among sensor events and activity types that are initially extracted from a high-level ontology, and (ii) mine temporal patterns of sensor events that are frequently generated by the execution of specific activities. A Markov Logic Network is used to recognize activities with probabilistic rules that capture both the ontological knowledge and the information obtained by active learning. We experimented our solution with a real-world dataset of activities carried out by several individuals in an interleaved fashion. Experimental results show that our collaborative and personalized active learning solution significantly improves recognition rates, while triggering a small number of feedback requests. Moreover, the overall recognition rates compare favorably with existing supervised and unsupervised activity recognition methods.

Feature interaction problem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Feature interaction is a software engineering concept. It occurs when the integration of two features would modify the behavior of one or both features.
The term feature is used to denote a unit of functionality of a software application. Similar to many concepts in computer science, the term can be used at different levels of abstraction. For example, the plain old telephone service (POTS) is a telephony application feature at one level, but itself is composed of originating features and terminating features. The originating features may in turn include the provide dial tone feature, digit collection feature and so on.
This definition of feature interaction allows one to focus on certain behavior of the interacting features such as how their response time may be changed given the integration. Many researchers in the field consider problems that arise due to change in the execution behavior of the interacting features. Under that context, the behavior of a feature is defined by its execution flow and output for a given input. In other words, the interaction changes the execution flow and output of the interacting features for a given input.
Example[edit]
In the context of telephony, a telephone line (the system) typically offers a set of features that include call forwarding and call waiting. Call waiting allows one call to be suspended while a second call is answered, while call forwarding enables a customer to specify a secondary phone number to which additional calls will be forwarded in the event that the customer is already using the phone.
To illustrate the example, we consider a telephone line provided to a customer, and we assume that both call forwarding and call waiting are enabled on the line. When a first call arrives on the line, the phone rings and is answered. Since neither feature is activated by the first call, there is no noticeable problem. When a second call arrives before the first has terminated, the telephone system has a decision to make: whether the call should be forwarded to the secondary number (call forwarding) or the person who answered the first call should be notified that another call has arrived (call waiting). Since this decision has no obvious correct answer, the optimal answer depends on the needs of the customer. This feature interaction is a specific example of a general and common problem that has become prevalent due to increasing system complexity.
In this situation, it is possible that the system's decision will be made in a non-deterministic fashion due to race conditions and other design factors. The consequences of feature interactions can range from minor irritations to life-threatening software failures, and therefore there is ongoing research that aims to find ways of detecting as well as resolving feature interactions.

With the release of Solr 7.0 and introduction of new replica types, in addition to the defa?ult NRT type the question appeared – can we control the queries and where they are executed? Can we tell Solr to execute the queries only on the PULL replicas or give TLOG replicas a priority? Let's check that out.
The first control option that we have in SolrCloud is the shards parameter. Using it we can directly control which shards should be used for querying. For example we can provide a logical shard name in our query:
The first of the above queries will be executed only on those shards that are grouped under the logical shard1 name. The second query will be executed on logical shard1, shard2 and shard3, while the third query will be executed on the shards that are deployed on the localhost:6683 node on the test collection
There is also a possibility to do load balancing across instances, for example:
The above query will be executed on instance running on port 6683 or on the one running on port 7783.
While the shards parameter gives us some degree of control where the query should be executed it is not exactly what we would like to have. However to use a certain type of replica we would have to get the data about the physical layout of the shards and this is not something that we would like to do. Because of that the shards.preference parameter has been introduced to Solr. It allows us to tell Solr what type of replicas should have the priority when executing query.
For example, to tell Solr that PULL type replicas should have priority when the query is executed one should add the shards.preference parameter to the query and set it to replica.type:PULL:
The nice thing is that we can tell Solr that first PULL replicas should be used and then if they are not available TLOG replicas should be used:
We can also define that PULL types replicas should be used first and if they are not available local shards should have the priority:
In addition to the above example we can also define priority based on location of the replicas. For example if our 192.168.1.1 Solr node is way more powerful compared to the others and we would like to first prioritize PULL replicas and then the mentioned Solr node we would run the following query:
The discussed parameters and the shards.preference in particular with its replica.type value can be very useful when we are using SolrCloud with different types of replicas. Telling Solr that we would like to prefer PULL or TLOG replicas we can lower the query based pressure on the NRT replicas and thus have better performance of the whole cluster. What's more – dividing the replicas can help us in achieving query performance that is close what Solr master – slave architecture provides without sacrificing all the goodies that come with SolrCloud itself.


TEST 3: Verifying The MAP Signal With A Multimeter
How To Test A P1128 Diagnostic Trouble Code (Honda 2.2L, 2.3L)
With this last MAP sensor test, we're gonna' either completely eliminate the MAP sensor as bad or be able to say that it has failed.
As stated at the beginning of the article, the MAP sensor creates a varying voltage signal depending on the amount of vacuum it senses.
When the MAP sensor fails... it will no longer create a varying voltage. In other words: no matter what the amount of vacuum applied to it, its output voltage will stay fixed at one single voltage value.
So, to find out if the MAP sensor is stuck, we're gonna' manually apply vacuum to it ourselves with a vacuum pump (or the good ole' lungs) and with a multimeter... verify it's voltage output.
Again, this MAP sensor bench test, we're about to perform, will let us know beyond a shadow of a doubt if the MAP sensor is bad or not.
This is what you'll need to do:
 1. 1
 Remove the MAP sensor from the top of the intake manifold.
 Reconnect the MAP sensor to its electrical connector, if you had to unplug it to remove it, since this test requires that the MAP sensor stay connected to its 3-wire electrical connector.
 2. 2
 Connect your multimeter's red test lead to the wire that connects pin number 3 of the MAP sensor.
 You'll need to back-probe the MAP sensor connector or use a wire piercing probe to connect your multimeter to this circuit (to see what a wire piercing probe looks like, click here: Wire Piercing Probe).
 3. 3
 Ground the black multimeter test lead.
 I suggest grounding the black multimeter test lead directly on the battery negative terminal.
 4. 4
 Turn the key on (but don't start the engine) and take a look at what voltage your multimeter is registering.
 It should register around 2.9 volts (± 1 V). If your multimeter is registering something different at this point... don't panic because right now you're just setting up the test.
 5. 4
 Attach a vacuum pump to the MAP sensor's vacuum inlet port using the appropriate size vacuum hose.
 If you don't have a vacuum pump... you can use the 'good ole' lungs' and provide the necessary with your mouth.
 6. 5
 The voltage, your multimeter is registering, should decrease as you apply vacuum with your vacuum pump (or with your mouth).
 7. 6
 The MAP sensor's voltage, as registered on your multimeter, should increase back to the original voltage value you saw in step 4 as you release the vacuum you applied with the vacuum pump (or your mouth).
NOTE: Applying vacuum, via the vacuum pump or your mouth, should make the MAP signal voltage get smaller on your multimeter. Releasing vacuum should make the MAP signal voltage get bigger (back to the original voltage you saw at the beginning of this test).
Let's take a look at what your test results mean:
CASE 1: The MAP sensor's voltage decreased and increased as you applied and released vacuum: This confirms that the MAP sensor is good and operating normally.
This test result completely eliminates the MAP sensor on your Honda as bad. If you're still having the MAP sensor trouble code come back, take a look at: MAP Sensor Is Good But Code Doesn't Go Away!.
CASE 2: The MAP sensor's voltage DID NOT decrease or increase as you applied and released vacuum: This confirms that the MAP sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.
If you need to buy the MAP sensor and would like to save some bucks, take a look at the section: Where To Buy The MAP Sensor.
MAP Sensor Is Good But Code Doesn't Go Away!
There's a good chance that, after bench-testing the MAP sensor, you've reach the conclusion that the MAP sensor is OK and not the cause of the P1128 OBD II trouble code.
So, if the sensor is good... why does the PCM keep setting the MAP sensor trouble code? Well, because several things can fool the PCM into thinking that the MAP sensor is bad... when the MAP sensor is only reporting what is actually happening.
So, to further assist you, in this section I'll offer a few testing tips and/or suggestions:
 1. Check for vacuum leaks.
 1. An intake manifold gasket leak or a ruptured vacuum hose (especially a big one) that's leaking vacuum will have a direct impact on the MAP sensor readings.
 2. check engine mechanical health.
 1. This means doing a compression test.
 2. What you're looking for is uneven wear and tear between the cylinders. This means that the compression each cylinder is producing varies more than 15%.
 3. This tutorial will help: How To Test Engine Compression (Honda 2.2L, 2.3L).
 3. Check timing belt synchronization.
 1. If you've just replaced the timing belt (or had to remove it for any reason), double check your timing marks.
 4. Make sure that the MAP sensor is getting power and ground.
 1. Take a look at the following section: P1128 Basics You Need To Know.
 5. A short in the wiring between the MAP sensor and the PCM.
 1. You'll need to check the continuity of the 3 wires between the MAP sensor and the PCM using the appropriate wiring diagram.
 6. A bad PCM.
 1. This is very rare, but it does happen.
 7. A fuel system malfunction (that is also setting other trouble codes).
 1. If there are any other trouble codes... you'll need to diagnose and repair these first (since they may be indirectly causing the P1128 code).
 8. You've replaced the throttle body gasket and used silicone sealer on it and this sealer has plugged the MAP sensor's vacuum passage and/or orifice (I've seen this happen a lot!).

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The percentage of a person's monthly gross income that is spent on paying debts, such as housing and credit card payments. Banks and lenders use this ratio to decide how much money (and on what terms) they will lend someone for a mortgage, car, or other loan. Traditionally, lenders have said that your housing costs (mortgage principal and interest, homeowner's insurance, and property taxes, also known as PITI) shouldn't exceed 28% of your gross income, and that your overall debt (PITI plus car and other loan payments) shouldn't exceed 36%.

The 6th annual national survey of garden birds is about to begin.
Participants can do the count from the luxury of their kitchen or living room by looking out the window at just one part of their garden. More than the 3000 survey forms were completed last year and organisers are looking for an increase this year.
The results of last year's survey show that the most numerous species counted in New Zealand gardens is the house sparrow followed by the silvereye (or waxeye), starling, blackbird and myna. In 2011, Hawke's Bay recorded the largest increase in the number of survey forms completed.

Upon its dedication in 1885, the Washington Monument was the tallest structure in the world. Begun in 1848 to honor George Washington, the structure wasn't completed for over 36 years. Construction and financing problems slowed progress and the Civil War halted it completely.
In 1876, after construction had resumed, chief engineer Lt. Colonel Thomas Lincoln Casey determined that the base was too shallow and narrow to support the weight of the planned monument. (At that point, the in-progress monument already stood over 176 feet.) Under Casey's direction, the earth below the foundation was replaced with concrete, as was the original rubblestone base.
The monument is topped by a 55-foot pyramidion that begins at the 500-foot level. It weighs 336 tons and is covered with 262 marble slabs, each seven inches thick. Special machinery, platforms, and derricks were designed to build and assemble the massive top, which took six months of labor to complete.
- The monument is 555 feet tall and is modeled after an Egyptian obelisk. An obelisk is a tapering, four-sided stone structure where the height is 10 times the width of the base.
- Beginning at the 452-foot level, walls are entirely marble.
- The slim silhouette is just over 55 feet square at the base and narrows to just under 40 feet at the top of the shaft, 500 feet above the ground.
- The weight of the completed obelisk was so well distributed that it can withstand winds up to 145 miles per hour. A 30-mph wind causes a sway of just 0.125 inch at the peak.

- Single sign users
- As a visual timetable
How to use the ChoicePad
- Introduce new vocabulary by having the MyChoicePad user match the activity you have just finished (i.e. after they have brushed their teeth) with the symbol on the ChoicePad and copy the sign. Or you could have photographs of the user or other people carrying out the activities and take it in turns to look at the photo and match with the appropriate symbol on the ChoicePad. You could also try making up short stories together using the new vocabulary or choose a symbol, act out what is happening and encourage the MyChoicePad user to guess what it is by pointing to the symbol and/or using the sign.
- Use as a visual timetable by showing the user what is next in their routine by pointing to the symbol and copying the sign, for example you could say 'first we are going to have breakfast' and use the sign and then return to the iPad and say 'now it's time to brush our teeth' and copy the sign.
Customise for the person you are supporting
Change it up depending on your MyChoicePad user's morning routine! You could take photos of the user at each stage of their routine and replace the symbols in the current ChoicePad. Mary, mother of Ben, one of our MyChoicePad users reported that she found using photos of Ben carrying out each action (for example brushing his teeth, putting his socks on etc) supported his motivation to practise and learn each sign. Mary also reported that it helped Ben become more independent as he knew which order to carry out each task and at the start of each activity he would return to the iPad and select the symbol and copy the sign. Following this repetition, Ben is now able to use the signs spontaneously.


Mayonnaise comes in different colours like cream, pale yellow, it's a condiments that has its history traced back to Spain which has its main ingredients as egg yolk, oil lemon juice.
 It could be made using an egg whisk or better still an electric blender.
 It can be used to eat a lot of things like bread,potatoes, bagels, sandwich and so on.

 1.)Carefully rinse the eggs.
 2.)Break the eggs,carefully separately the egg white from the yolk, what you need is the egg yolk and not the white.
3)in a blender or bowl,place your egg yolk
 4).Add your Vinegar or other optionals for your sour taste.
 5).Add sugar( which is optional)
6)Add salt.
 7.)Then blend or whisk gradually add your oil till its thick. If you noticed that the mayonnaise is watery, break egg yolk in to another bowl, whisk it and then add your watery mayonnaise to make it thicker.
When making mayonnaise endeavor to use fresh eggs. The moment you start adding oil, the mixture becomes thicker, then you can make it light by adding your lemon juice to it With this you don't need to buy mayonnaise from super store, when you make it store in a container and keep in the refrigerator.
it could be used as salad cream. It has a lot of nutritional contents like calories, saturated fats, potassium, vitamin B6 and other nutritional contents. It is healthier to make yours at home than buying and moreover it saves cost.
 Uses of mayonnaise
 1.mayonnaise can be used for treatment of sunburn, all you need to do is apply a little of it on the affected area, leave for some minutes before rinsing, this will help to remove dead skin cells, there by making the affected area lighter.
 2.It can also be used as hair conditioner to make your hair smooth and as well make it silky when you apply to the root of your hair.
3.It contains Omega H 3 fats which decreases the rate of having heart attack.
 4.Mayonnaise also help to control blood sugar level.
 5.Vitamin E in mayonnaise reduce the chances of having stroke.

"My motherland" - a Chinese 'Red" Song Played by a "Wolf" Pianist in White House
Opening of Chopin Year in Warsaw.Image via WikipediaRecently a famous Chinese pianist Lang Lang played a "red" song "My Motherland" during his performance in White House. This song was a theme song in a movie about a battle in Korean War during 50s. Because of this "political" or historical context, so in many Chinese people's eye, this is "antiAmerica" song, and Lang Lang's performance consequently stirred a huge discussion and arguments in within Chinese online communities - while many felt utmostly inappropriate, many felt proud of the performance.
A while ago, I started a thread on Blogcatalog about the musical value of "political" songs, expressed my understanding about how a song may convey different meanings by its different aspects of art form: while the lyrics can be political, the music part can be totally musical or artistic. This song "My Motherland" happens to be one of my favorite "red" songs. Despite of it's historical context, I personally think it is one of the most beautiful Chinese folk songs. The lyrics is mostly about the love to motherland (China), about a understandable patriotism. I don't see any any pro-communism and anti-America slogans. So the only reason that this song reminds Chinese people about Korean War simply is because it was used in the movie.
I might have to agree that it was not the best choice to play this song in White House but, it should not be such a big deal.
I heard radio NPR interviewing Lang Lang about his performance, he denied that he knew about the context of this song. However, when he was interviewed by Chinese news media, he expressed his "pride" of being able to play something that glorify the power of China in front of so many powerful politicians of many countries.
One thing worth to mention is, the name of this pianist "Lang", sounds exactly like "wolf" in Chinese. It happened that he was raised by a father who is as ambitious as "tigar mother", so his father was call as "wolf father" by many Chinese people. He possesses every idea the "tigar mother" does, except he is more physically powerful than that woman. In Lang Lang's biograph he remembered once he missed 2 hours of piano practice his father asked him either swallow a whole bottle of pill or, to jump from the window.
Lang Lang is now considered as a music prodigy and super famous pianist in China. His father of course is also very famous by his "superior" way of raising his "genius" son, though "it's a little too hard to understand" by normal people, as one of interviewer from a Chinese television mentioned. But because of Lang Lang's huge success, I personally believe many Chinese people would still prove his father's "hard work". And if this was true, I guess very soon more children will jump through window (or swallow pills) without their parents' pushing them.

The impact of "Tiger mother"
Amy Chua at the 2007 Texas Book Festival, Aust...Image via Wikipedia
The article in WSJ "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior?" seems to have some attention the author wanted, and it looks like that the publication of the book by the same author "Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother" will be inevitably successful too.
Even though personally I intensely dislike (even pity) the author's so call "superior" way of parenting, I have to admit, that the publication of her article and book will have some positive outcomes to American people and American Chinese community.
First of all, her book uncovers a fact that once was a stereotype - the child abuse that widely existed in Chinese families. Like Amy Chua, the author of book, many Chinese parents have been conducting severe child abuse under the slogan "for children's good", though mostly of them did it UNCONSCIOUSLY. Even without physical abuse (which I believe is still ongoing in many families), the consequence of this abuse is serious - the overwhelming lack of self-esteem within Chinese people.
The so call "superior" mothering or parenting, does not only exist in China, but also in any other countries that were influenced by Confucianism: Japan, South Korea, Singapore (where Chua come from) and many other southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Malaysia, etc. The core philosophy of this "superior parenting" is "obedience", generated by "strict" discipline that is conducted since the beginning of children's cognitive development. This traditional parenting has successfully implanted "obedience", or "servile" personality in Chinese people's blood all the way through Chinese history.
This exposure of the dark side of Chinese families may actually do good for Chinese people, because it will draw severe criticizes from outside of Chinese community and I believe this would help many Chinese people drop their outdated belief, make many Chinese elites re-think their "superior" parenting.
Chinese people have been so obsessed with their tradition, so proud of their "thousands years of glory" that they think if not follow what their ancestors doctrine, Chinese will not be Chinese anymore. That's why during modern history of China, almost every step of progress was made by the force from outside of country.
Secondly, I personally think Chua's book will bring some positive influence to American society. It is my observation that the American way of parenting - "over protection" - if spoke exaggeratedly - has gone to another extreme and led many problems on children: lack of self-control; incapability of hard working; extremely self-centered, etc. I even believe that this way of "parenting" was partially responsible for the country's current downside situation, and would be an obstacle for the country's recovery as well.
It is also my impression that most American people seem to over-trust our innate capability. This probably is one of reasons that some (if not many) "American mothers" do not want to push their kids in any circumstances. This over-belief may also made many American believe that many Chinese "prodigies" are born with those talents. The publications of Chua will reveal the truth behind Chinese "prodigies" - not at all all of them are geniuses, but ordinary kids raised by "tiger mothers". Of course, I don't think most American mothers will adopt Chua's "never allowed" list but, the "success" of her daughters, or many other Chinese/Asian "prodigies" would prove a fact that the Chinese way of parenting does do some good on stretching children's competitive strength, at least skill wise.
This is an article on NYT magazine yesterday: No More Mrs. Nice Mom by Judith Warner, which reflects the stir that "tiger mother" just made.
I think, beside these positive outcomes, personal wise, Chua's publication will continue damage her daughters' lives, more than she could imagine. Her daughters will be put under spotlight and live under a more stressful condition. It is not fair to them. They may think like their mother did (actually one of them already said, just like their mother said about her own parents), "without her effort, I would not be me today.." but, they may never know about another kind of life, a life that is stress free, that is sufficient without support of high academic degree and high social status.
However, I am still optimistic about two lovely daughters. I believe the diverse cultural environment in this country would nourish their later life, possibly prevent them from repeating her mother's tragedy (even though she may take it as a huge success).

The cockscomb (Celosia cristata) is an ornamental vegetable that is used as an analgesic in Bangladeshi ethnomedicine. A Bangladeshi study reported that the methanol extract of the plant possessed strong antinociceptive activity.
The Stamford University Bangladesh supported the study. Its findings were published in the science journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The researchers believe that their findings provided scientific basis for the use of the cockscomb as an analgesic in traditional Bangladeshi medicine. They also suggest further investigation to identify the active ingredients behind the antinociceptive effect of the plant.
You can read the full study at this link.

The European Parliament adopts three new reports on gender equality
The European Parliament adopted yesterday three reports on gender equality:
- The EU Strategy for Gender Equality: "Parliament welcomes the positive measures included in the EU's new Gender Equality Strategy but calls for additional actions and specific and binding targets.
In their report adopted by 464 votes in favour, 119 against and 93 abstentions on Thursday, MEPs describe the Commission's 2020-2025 Gender Equality Strategy as ambitious but regret that it is sometimes too vague and lacks defined targets to be reached by 2025 and clear monitoring tools."
- The gender perspective in the Covid-19 crisis and post-crisis period: MEPs examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women and proposed measures to protect women's rights and enhance gender equality during and after the crisis. In a report adopted by 485 votes in favour, 86 against and 108 abstentions on Thursday, MEPs stress the need for a gender-sensitive response to all aspects of the COVID-19 crisis in order to enhance gender equality and to protect women's rights during the pandemic and post-pandemic period.
- Closing the digital gender gap: women's participation in the digital economy: "It is necessary to encourage women's participation in technical and high-level jobs by overcoming educational barriers from an early stage, say MEPs. In a non-legislative report adopted on Thursday by 598 votes in favour, 45 against and 40 abstentions, MEPs call on the Commission to address the serious gender gap within the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, via concrete measures and appropriate funding aimed at increasing the participation and digital inclusion of women and girls."

Based on a case study of water management in the Kirindi Oya Irrigation and Settlement Project (KOISP) in southern Sri Lanka, this report describes the constraints in seasonal scheduling of water allocations from relatively small reservoirs that were not designed to carry storage from one season to the next. Predicting reservoir inflow is complicated because of annual variations in the beginning and end of the rainy season, as well as the amount of seasonal rainfall.

Below are descriptions of the engineering courses offered at Elm Middle School.
Grade level: 7
In Art 6, students are invited to look inward. To drive the art-making content, students will engage in introspective activities to explore their personal narrative, their stories, their autobiographies, their histories and their internal dialogue. They will consider how their identity is shaped and influenced by their experiences and which stories they choose to collect and embrace and which stories they prefer to discard.
Grade Level: 8
Art 7 invites students to look nearby and around. Through art making, students will contemplate and explore how their identity, their sense of self, is rooted within relationships and is influenced by how they present themselves and by how they believe others see them. They will draw inspiration from connections to immediate and local groups, such as families, peers and the community. They will sift — or prospect — for connections that resonate, that provide a sense of belonging, and that they want to foster and incorporate into their identity as they simultaneously individuate and connect.

Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics
A generalized approach to the allocation of redundant thrust vector slew commands for multi-actuated launch vehicles is presented, where deflection constraints are expressed as omniaxial or elliptical deflection limits in gimbal axes. More importantly than in the aircraft control allocation problem, linear allocators (pseudoinverses) are preferred for large booster applications to facilitate accurate prediction of the control-structure interaction resulting from thrust vectoring effects. However, strictly linear transformations for the allocation of redundant controls cannot, in general, access all of the attainable moments for which there is a set of control effector positions thatsatisfles the constraints. In this paper, the control allocation efficiency ora certain class of linear allocators subject to multiple quadratic constraints is analyzed, and a novel single-pass control allocation scheme is proposed that augments the pseudolnverse near the boundary of the attainable set. The controls are determined over a substantial volume of lhe attainable set using only a linear transformation; as such, the algorithm maintains compatibility with frequencydomain approaches to the analysis of the vehicle closed-loop elastic stability. Numerical results using a model of a winged reusable booster system illustrate the proposed technique's ability to access a larger Fraction of the attainable set than a pseudoinverse alone.

Protocols & Communication
UDPListener is a very simple program that can be used to check firewalls that may block UDP traffic from being passed.
As a quick demo, run UDPListenerV1.1.exe twice and flip the default port settings in one of the instances (leave the Local Host box blank). Click Start in both instances and then type some text in the text box at the bottom and press Send. Assuming you have the ports correct the text should go from one instance to the other.
These instances can be run on different machines as necessary.
It only does UDP traffic, and could be used as a basic example of UDP sockets (although it is fair to say there are likely much better examples out there...). It also has no error handling so any problems will close the instance.


text: Abstract: The current study aims at increasing the strength and heat resistance of concrete that can be used in airport pavements for vertical take-off and landing of new generation F-35B combat aircraft by improving concrete mixtures. For this purpose, two different mixtures with lightweight (expanded glass aggregate) and traprock (basalt) aggregate were prepared. The mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the mixtures were determined, 3D maps of cracks that occurred with the flexural tensile strength tests were examined using fractal analysis, and the fracture energy of the samples was obtained. A statistically significant extremely high correlation was found between fractal dimension and flexural tensile strength. No significant compressive strength losses were observed in samples after heat exposure. We determined that the mechanical properties of the basalt aggregate mixture were better than the expanded glass aggregate mixture, however, its thermal conductivity was higher.


Stabilized Mount
The SPS-P230 stabilizes its payload on two axis (typically pan and tilt). Inside the durable housing, the stable mount includes two gyros and a 3 axis accelerometer. A joystick controller allows the operator to position the platform.
Which Stabilized System Do I Need?
Choosing between our two gyro-stabilized systems can be confusing. The main difference to keep in mind when ordering is that the Stabilized Platform (SPS-P230) is designed to be operated by a person. The Gyro-stabilized Mount (SMS-P233), on the other hand, is engineered to be an automatic, set-and-forget type device.
SPS-P230 Stabilized Platform?
The Watson Stabilized Platform SPS-P230 has two stabilized axes. The system can be adjusted at the factory so that it can be mounted in different orientations, but typically the SPS stabilizes pan and tilt. The system is connected to a joystick controller that allows an operator to move the device to whatever orientation is required. The stable platform is intended to stabilize the payload all the time while it is moved and repositioned by joystick commands.
SMS-P233 Stabilized Mount?
The Watson Stabilized Mount SMS-P233 also has two stabilized axes. This system is intended to keep a payload level, so it is mounted such that it stabilizes against roll and tilt (also called bank and elevation). The SMS is designed so that once it is set up, it will constantly adjust itself to keep level automatically, with no operator input required.

Cleuson-Dixence Construction SA
- Scheme design: 2004 – 2006
- Construction: 2006 – 2009
In association with Electricité de France (EdF; CIH) and Stucky Ingénieurs-Conseils SA.
The Cleuson-Dixence hydroelectric dam was commissioned in 1998. That project enabled the extraction of the potential energy from all the water of the Grand Dixence dam at one location (hydraulic head 1,880 m, flow rate 75 m3/s). On the 12th December 2000, the penstock suddenly ruptured, and the water escaped to the surface.
This rehabilitation project involved lining the entire length of the penstocks (approximately 4 km) and bypassing the section damaged in the accident, which required the construction of two new access galleries and underground caverns at the elbows.
In order to reinforce the shafts, the original access shafts which had been infilled with concrete were required to be reopened.
Before the lining of the shafts was undertaken, the ground around the shafts was stabilised from inside the shafts using grout injection which enabled the interstitial voids present at the top of the existing lining to be filled.
Scheme design outline and detail; management of the tender process; construction design; and direction of the rehabilitation works of the penstock of the Cleuson-Dixence hydroelectric dam, which was taken out of service in December 2000.


Osiedle [ɔˈɕɛdlɛ] (Polish plural: osiedla) is a term used in Poland to denote a designated subdivision of a city or town, or of a dzielnica, with its own council and executive. Like the dzielnica and sołectwo, an osiedle is an auxiliary unit (jednostka pomocnicza) of a gmina. These units are created by decision of the gmina council, and do not have legal personality in their own right. In the case of an urban-rural gmina, it is also possible for a whole town to be designated an auxiliary unit.
Not all Polish cities or towns have osiedles in the above sense. However the word osiedle is also frequently used to denote any housing estate or development. (In this sense it sometimes appears in addresses, where the abbreviation "Os." is commonly used.)
