- About Us
- Our Events
Indigenous people have a shorter life expectancy - around 18 to 19 years less than non-indigenous people. The average life span is 57 years for an Aboriginal male and 62 years for an Aboriginal female. The most common causes of death include:
- Circulatory diseases - including heart disease and stroke. The number of deaths caused by conditions such as coronary heart disease is double that of the non-indigenous population.
- Diabetes - and other diseases of the endocrine system. The rate of diabetes is six times higher among indigenous people. It is estimated that diabetes affects between 10 to 30 per cent of the Aboriginal population.
- Injuries - sustained in accidents such as car crashes. An indigenous person is three times more likely to die in an accident than a non-indigenous person. The Aboriginal population also has high rates of suicide and homicide.
- Respiratory system diseases - deaths from chronic disease are three to five times more common. Around half of the diseases are caused by infections. Respiratory infections are 10 times more common in the indigenous population.
- Cancer - particularly lung, cervical and liver cancer. According to the South Australian Cancer Registry, the death rate among the indigenous population is higher because the cancers are typically diagnosed at a later stage.
Babana has a key aim of improving the health of our community and we have worked with key organisations to provide programs that can assist. We would like to thank the Redfern Police and the Aboriginal Health Promotion Unit for their ongoing support of our health program.
We run a weekly health walking program which is attended by both Aboriginal and Non Aboriginal members of our community. We meet each Sunday (weather permitting) at the Babana shed and proceed for a walk followed by breakfast.

Implementing the OurSCHOOL Student Survey at St. Dominic in 2015 allowed former Principal Kevin DeForge and Assistant Principal Joelle Marshall to learn that 32 per cent of students reported feeling medium to high levels of anxiety at school. Knowing it's not just the data that matters, but what you do with it, Kevin and his team sought to understand what was driving this.
Using the insight gained from the OurSCHOOL survey, the St. Dominic staff created a three-pronged approach to reducing anxiety and empowering students.
1. Introducing opportunities for students to embrace experimentation and gain confidence
2. Working closely with students to reduce anxiety levels at school
3. Engaging parents and caregivers and integrating classroom practices into the home

Glow-In-The-Dark Rabbits Born
Glowing Rabbits Born In Turkey, Could Help Cure Disease
The first living glowing rabbits have been born in Turkey, and one day researchers believe they could help bring affordable drug therapies to more developing countries.
The glow-in-the-dark bunnies are the product of a collaboration between the Univerwity of Hawaii at Manoa and two universities in Turkey.
Scientists used a gene from jellyfish DNA and inserted it into a rabbit's embryo, reports CBS News. While the rabbits appear completely normal and white in everyday lighting, the same isn't true under black light.
Instead, they glow bright green. While transgenic mice, cows, goats, chickens, and pigs have already been produced successfully, CBS News reports that this was the first instance of a successful transgenic rabbit.
The bunnies were conceived using in vitro fertilization (IVF) from embryos extracted from an adult female rabbit. They then inserted plasmids into the embryos in a process similar to that used in IVF human procedures.
The Los Angeles Times notes that Stefan Moisyadi, an associate professor at the University of Hawaii Manoa who worked on the glowing rabbits project, commented that the jellyfish protein won't hurt the bunnies and it also won't alter their lifespan. However, those rabbits will pass the glow-in-the-dark gene on to their offspring.
Eventually, the Turkish team, including Moisyadi, hopes to insert the jellyfish gene into larger mammals, such as sheep and cattle. The associate professor added that the scientists' "main plan was to do sheep, but they only have one or two embryos max." He added that the group currently has 10 pregnant sheep, about 25 percent of which they believe will end up glowing in the dark.
Eventually, Moisyadi hopes that the process will be used not to implant jellyfish genes, but instead to insert genes for proteins used in medications. This is because animals can make proteins in their milk that humans often use for medicine. Being able to extract useful proteins from the animals' milk would make pharmaceuticals more affordable.
But for now, the scientists are focusing on glowing rabbits.

Statue of Isis
Considering Herbert Hoover's Quaker upbringing, you might be wondering why there is a statue of Isis, "the Egyptian goddess of Life", sitting on the grounds of his birthplace. This bronze, seven and a half foot tall statue is the work of Belgian sculptor Auguste Puttemans, and was a gift from the children, refugees, and soldiers of Belgium in gratitude for Hoover's famine relief efforts on their behalf during the First World War.

When the Belgians shipped the finished statue to California's Stanford University in 1922, it remained on campus until the President and Mrs. Hoover brought it to West Branch in 1939. Both of them wanted it to be placed in a position where it was "contemplating the house," which is why Isis sits in her throne-like chair facing the Birthplace Cottage.
Look closely, and you'll notice that her veil, a symbol of the mysteries of life, cannot hide the strength of her features. Her right hand carries the torch of life-its three flames represent the past, present, and future-while her left hand holds the key of life.
An Egyptian goddess and an American President. It's an unlikely pairing, but one that provides a powerful visual link between Hoover's childhood and his life's dedication to the welfare of others. Find out more about Hoover's dedication to children's causes »

text: The present challenge with all-oxide thermoelectric modules is their poor durability at high temperatures caused by the instability of the metal-oxide interfaces at the hot side. This work explains a new module concept based on a hybrid p-n junction, fabricated in one step by spark plasma co-sintering of Ca3Co4-xO9+δ (CCO, p-type) and CaMnO3-δ/CaMn2O4 (CMO, n-type). Different module (unicouple) designs were studied to obtain a thorough understanding of the role of the in situ formed hybrid p-n junction of Ca3CoMnO6 (CCMO, p-type) and Co-oxide rich phases (p-type) at the p-n junction (>700 °C) in the module performance. A time-enhanced performance of the modules attributed to this p-n junction formation was observed due to the unique electrical properties of the hybrid p-n junction being sufficiently conductive at high temperatures (>700 °C) and nonconductive at moderate and low temperatures. The alteration of module design resulted in a variation of the power density from 12.4 (3.1) to 28.9 mW/cm2 (7.2 mW) at ΔT ∼ 650 °C after 2 days of isothermal hold (900 °C hot side). This new concept provides a facile method for the fabrication of easily processable, cheap, and high-performance high-temperature modules.

Velziran Salome (/ˈvelziran ˈsaʔlomɛ/) is a Mage belonging to House Salome, the last prominent magical family based in Wrytoll. While her official purpose in entering the Storynth is to oversee Elloria's pilgrimage to the Tomb of Cerulos, she seems to have other goals at both the academic and personal level. She is a playable character who uses a variety of magical techniques, especially those related to fire.
Velziran is a young adult human with dark brown skin, black hair, and purple eyes. She wears the deep blue robes that are commonly associated with House Salome. Velziran's hair is short and spiky in the back, with her long bangs parted slightly to the right. Her left eye is partially obscured by her bangs.
Velziran is resourceful, eager to learn, and confident in her abilities. She is not easily angered, except by injustice and wanton destruction of magical and educational resources. Velziran prefers to solve problems and resolve conflict through the use of logic rather than emotion.
Velziran's thirst for knowledge and concern for the well-being of others and the world led her to restore various forbidden House Salome texts through the use of temporal magic. While this allowed her to gain proficiency in Sraharl and understand the general layout of the Storynth even before entering, it also led to severe repercussions with the leadership of her House. Much of Velziran's mana and magical power remains sealed during the events of the game due to the Atriarch's binding spells—a punishment for breaking House Salome's codes.
Final Weapon
This section contains story spoilers.
Velziran receives the Fieli Greatstaff, an heirloom of Master Scholar Talrendis' family, after Zorvus' visit to the Bloodfort. Talrendis believed that her ancestor's volume on translating between Humoni and Fieli languages had been lost, so she was stunned to learn that a Mage from the World Above had learned Sraharl through a copy of the book.
The staff's appearance, menu icon, and attack animation are purple in color.
 - Velziran's surname was originally Clearwater. Additionally, this surname was temporarily given to Elloria after it was determined that Velziran's would be changed. In the end, it wound up being Velziran's (non-magical) father's surname.
 - Velziran's blue fire—a trait she shares with her mother Fyreldin—is a result of both Mages' mana potency, stemming from their direct ties to both House Salome and House Leoric.
 - The Fieli Greatstaff was originally intended to be given to Velziran by a Fiend named Olmaran, but this scene was changed to reduce cutscene density in the Bloodfort.
 - Velziran's event objects are often titled "Velzi," though she's never referred to as such in-game.

Module Version: 0.10 Source Latest Release: Plack-Middleware-Negotiate-0.20
Plack::Middleware::Negotiate - Apply HTTP content negotiation as Plack middleware
version 0.10
 builder {
 enable 'Negotiate',
 formats => {
 xml => {
 type => 'application/xml',
 charset => 'utf-8',
 html => { type => 'text/html', language => 'en' },
 _ => { size => 0 } # default values for all formats
 parameter => 'format', # e.g. _URL_
 extension =>'strip'; # e.g. _URL_
Plack::Middleware::Negotiate applies HTTP content negotiation to a PSGI request. In addition to normal content negotiation from a list of defined formats one may enable explicit format selection with a path extension or query parameter. In summary, the following methods are tried in this order to negotiate a known format:
HTTP GET format parameter (if enabled with option parameter)
HTTP POST format parameter (if enabled with option paramater)
URL path extension (if enabled with option extension)
HTTP Accept Header (unless disabled with option explicit)
The PSGI environment key negotiate.format is set to the chosen format name after negotiation. The PSGI response is enriched with corresponding HTTP headers Content-Type and Content-Language unless these headers already exist.
If used as pure application, this middleware returns a HTTP status code 406 if no format could be negotiated.
new( formats => {... } [, %options ] )
Creates a new negotiation middleware with a given set of formats.
negotiate( $env )
Chooses a format based on a PSGI request. The request is first checked for explicit format selection via parameter and extension (if configured) and then passed to HTTP::Negotiate. On success the method returns a format name. The method may modify the PSGI request environment keys PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME if format was selected by extension set to strip, and strips the format HTTP GET query parameter from QUERY_STRING if parameter is set to a format. If format was selected by HTTP POST body parameter, the parameter it is not stripped from the request.
known( $format )
Tells whether a format name is known. By default this is the case if the format name exists in the list of formats.
about( $format )
If the format was specified, this method returns a hash with quality, type, encoding, charset, and language. Missing values are set to the default.
Returns a list of content variants to be used in HTTP::Negotiate. The return value is an array reference of array references, each with seven elements: format name, source quality, type, encoding, charset, language, and size. The size is always zero.
add_headers( \_USER_, $format )
Add apropriate HTTP response headers for a format unless the headers are already given.
A list of formats to choose among. Each format can be defined with type, quality (defaults to 1), encoding, charset, and language. The special format name _ (underscore) is reserved to define default values for all formats.
Formats can also be used to directly route the request to a PSGI application:
 my $app = Plack::Middleware::Negotiate->new(
 formats => {
 json => {
 type => 'application/json',
 app => $json_app,
 html => {
 type => 'text/html',
 app => $html_app,
Enables explicit format selection with a query paramater, for instance format. Both HTTP GET and HTTP POST body parameters are supported.
Enables explicit format selection with a virtual file extension. The value strip strips a known format name from the request path. The value keep keeps the format name extension after format selection.
The middleware takes care for rewriting and restoring PATH_INFO if it is configured to detect and strip a format extension.
Disables content negotiation based on HTTP headers.
Plack::Middleware::Negotiate uses Log::Contextual to emit a logging message during content negotiation on logging level trace. Just set:
The Content-Encoding HTTP response header is not automatically set on a response and content negotiation based on size is not supported. Feel free to comment on whether and how this middleware should support both.
Content negotiation in this module is based on HTTP::Negotiate. See HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::ContentNegotiation for an alternative approach. This module has some overlap with Plack::Middleware::SetAccept.

Japanese streetwear fashion has become a very popular trend. Pictures make waves on the internet of models in this unique stylish apparel. However, it isn't a modern trend, Japanese street fashion began decades ago, in the streets of Yokohama and Shibuya.
The history of Japanese streetwear starts over 30 years ago. In August 1980, Japanese street fashion was launched in a bid to display eccentric and unique fashion designs from a popular cultural research institute. These fashion styles were launched in popular locations like Harajuku, Shibuya, and other cities. Eventually, some Japanese street fashion styles were named after these streets.
Streetwear began as a trend to solidify unity between Japanese youths. It was an uprising against adult oppression. The onset was a bid to recreate styles to their preferences. Rather than focusing on traditional Japanese or completely Western attire, Japanese youngsters began to design and implement more personalized fashion styles. These styles were either unique or a blend of Western and Japanese cultural attire that created eccentric designs.
What Influenced the Japanese Streetwear Styles?
It is popularly known that consumer products sometimes influence great decisions. In the 1980s consumer magazines were the niche that greatly influenced the youths' fashion choices. Magazines such as JJ and Popeye influenced them more towards American university students' fashion. However, other popular magazines birthed more adult styles like the Hamatora.
Although magazines had a huge role to play, some styles were influenced by the characters from various animes. Cosplay is the term used for people dressing as their favorite characters from shows and is responsible for styles such as Kawaii, Harajuku, and even Otome Kei.
Western shows such as Baywatch began to influence how Japanese Streetwear Fashion grew. It not only influenced fashion on the street, but it also influenced the appearance of celebrities. Who then created their unique styles that further changed the dynamics of Japanese street fashion and birthed styles such as punk, fairy Kei, Gyaru, etc.
The popularity of these styles increased as time went by. From being influenced by magazines, they began to be featured on them. Streetwear fashion was born of everyday youth coming together to showcase their ideas about fashion and their desire for new fashion culture.
Popular Streetwear Fashion Styles
- Yokohama Style
This style was a casual trendy style that did not gain popularity till 1981, although it was widely spread around Japan in the late 1970s, its popularity arose after being adopted in Yokohama. This fashion style was known for its refinement and casual nature. Eventually, it began to feature in popular magazines which further solidified its position in streetwear.
- Karasu Zoku
Karasu Zoku or the crow clan style completely redefined the use of black clothing. This type had women adorning black clothing all over Japan. It gained popularity in the early 1980s.
- Body Con
Body con, short for body conscious, is a fashion style that embraced sex appeal and classiness. It became popular in 1987 when women began to wear tight clothing with special cuts to showcase their figures.
The Evolution Continues
In the 1980s trends continued to grow and gain popularity. However, the 1990s birthed a new generation of fashion-forward youth with their style ideas. Trends such as Paragal, Uraha, Kawaii, and French couture began to appear in the Japanese streetwear fashion scene.
Styles like Kawaii fashion and Schoolgirl(Joshikosei) were greatly influenced by celebrities and anime shows. Their popularity rose because of the idols that they represented. Without allowing the western trends to be inculcated into their fashion scene to affect Japanese cultural fashion, youth began to create new kimono styles such as Kawaii kimono.
The 1990s styles were defined by colors, clothes combinations, and the fashion icons they idolized both in fictitious cartoons and from music.
Before the 21st century finally appeared, one of the styles that left a lasting impression that allowed it to transcend generations was Ganguro gal, this style, was discovered in 1999. Uncovered in Shibuya, the style adopted large wigs and heavy makeup, giving the impression of people from the 90s version of Baywatch.
Modern Day Japanese Streetwear
The previous years of Japanese fashion were influenced by decisions from specific generations. However, 21st century Japanese began to integrate more unisex styles and the combination of local and high-end brands.
Styles were combined to create more unique aesthetics. Mori gal, Visual Kei, and gyaru among others, began to make waves on the street fashion scene. The combination of conservative and outspoken street fashion styles became more common.
Colors began to define the fashion scene with styles like Fairy Kei adopting pastel-colored themes. Eventually, trends began to follow old school Victorian styles, sports activities, and anime-themed dress codes.
Japanese street fashion grew from a rebellion to a great industry that is still gaining worldwide popularity. All other the world, there are models walking the streets of Japan in popular style combinations of luxury brands and local Japanese vendors. If you want to buy streetwear clothes visit this link.

The pumping lemma for regular languages states:
Specifically, the pumping lemma says that for any regular language L there exists a constant p such that any word w in L with length at least p can be split into three substrings, w = xyz, where the middle portion y must not be empty, such that the words xz, xyz, xyyz, xyyyz, … constructed by repeating y an arbitrary number of times (including zero times) are still in L.
Now what's the unambigious CFG that produces this (recognizes strings of the form $xy^kz$)?
if $x=z=a$ and $y=b$, then
$X \rightarrow aX | Xa | bX | Xb | a | b$
is ambiguous.

 $\begingroup$ Please make sure you know what you want to ask before posting. Wasting people's time by changing your question in fundamental ways is not nice. $\endgroup$ – Raphael Dec 29 '15 at 14:36
 - $\begingroup$ The Pumping lemma does not claim the existence of such a grammar. But since these words are all in the language L (that is the claim), just use any grammar for L. It remains to see why there are always unambiguous grammars for regular languages, but that's not too hard. $\endgroup$ – Raphael Dec 29 '15 at 14:39

$\begingroup$
For your first question, do check out the pumping lemma for regular languages. It is quite different from what you state.
For the second one, it is the set of strings of $a$ with exactly one $b$. Use:
$\begin{align} S &\rightarrow a S \mid b A \mid b \\ A &\rightarrow a A \mid a \end{align}$
Clearly non-ambiguous. Even a regular grammar.

This paper formalizes a widely discussed peer effect titled "acting White." "Acting White" is modeled as a two-audience signaling quandary: signals that induce high wages can be signals that induce peer group rejection. Without peer effects, equilibria involve all ability types choosing different levels of education. "Acting White" alters the equilibrium dramatically: the (possibly empty) set of lowest ability individuals and the set of highest ability individuals continue to reveal their type through investments in education; ability types in the middle interval pool on a common education level. Only those in the lower intervals are accepted by the group. The model's predictions fit many stylized facts in the anthropology and sociology literatures regarding social interactions among minority group members.

Thus $$ \nu^* = \nu e^{P\tau} = .5 e^{P\tau} = .5, .46, .40 $$ for $\tau =$ 0, .25, and .5 respectively, and finally we get from (2.37) $$ \eta = \nu^*/\sqrt{M} = .58, .50, .41.\tag{3.11} $$ Finally, from (2.38) $$ \delta = \left(\nu^{1.5}\right)^{1/(.75)} = \eta^2 = .34, .25, .17.\tag{3.12} $$ \input epsf.tex \topinsert \centerline{ \epsfxsize=11 true cm \epsfclipon \epsffile{fig.eps}} \centerline{ {\bf Figure 1.}} \endinsert Actually, for any $0 \le \tau < 1$ we have, from (3.6) and (3.9)-(3.12), $$ \delta = \frac{\nu^2 e^{(1 - 2M)\tau}}{M} = \frac{(.5)^2 e^{(1 - 1.5 e^{.5\tau})\tau}}{.75 e^{.5\tau}} \approx \frac{(1 - \tau)}{3}. $$ \vskip 1.5cm \heading{APPENDIX}\endheading \demo{Proof of Proposition 3.1} We consider two cases - whether or not $u(t)$ is eventually monotone. In the first case, if $u(t)$ is eventually non-decreasing, say on the interval $(t_1, t_2)$, then $u(t) \le a/b$ for $t > t_1 + \tau$, because $a - bu(t - \tau) \ge 0$ for $t > t_1$ from (3.2). If $u(t)$ is non-increasing on $(t_1, \infty)$, then $$ \lim_{t\rightarrow + \infty} u(t) = u_0 $$ is finite. If $u_0 > a/b$, then $u(t) > a/b + \epsilon$, some $\epsilon > 0$ and $t >$ some $t_2 > t_1$. Thus for $t > t_2 + \tau, u(t - \tau) > a/b + \epsilon$ and from (3.2) $$ \dot{u}(t) \le u(t)[a - b(a/b + \epsilon)] = -b\ \! \epsilon\ \! u(t). $$ But this last inequality implies $u(t) \rightarrow 0$, as $t \rightarrow \infty$, contradicting that $u_0 > a/b$. We conclude in the monotone case that $$ \limsup_{t\rightarrow +\infty} u(t) \le \frac{a}{b}. $$ \noindent If $u(t)$ is not eventually monotone, $u(t)$ has a local maximum at each point in a sequence $\{t_n\} \subseteq (t_0 + \tau, \infty)$ with $t_n \rightarrow \infty$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$ and $$ \limsup_{t\rightarrow +\infty} u(t)\quad = \lim_{n\rightarrow + \infty} u(t_n). $$ \noindent Since $\dot{u}(t_n) = 0$, (3.2) yields $$ u(t_n - \tau) \le \frac{a}{b}. $$ Certainly (3.2) gives $ \dot{u}(t) \le au(t)$ for all $t > t_0$. Thus integrating (3.2) on each interval $[t_n - \tau, t_n]$ and using the previous two inequalities obtains \medskip $$ u(t_n) \le u(t_n - \tau)e^{a\tau} \le \frac{a}{b} e^{a\tau}, $$ and then $$ \limsup_{t\rightarrow +\infty} u(t)\quad = \lim_{n\rightarrow + \infty} u(t_n) \le \frac{a}{b} e^{a\tau} $$ which completes the present proof. \enddemo \bigbreak \heading REFERENCES\endheading \roster \item"{[1]}" Cantrell, R.

text: Multiclass open queueing networks find wide applications in communication, computer and fabrication networks. Often one is interested in steady state performance measures associated with these systems. One can use the regenerative structure of the process to estimate the steady state performance measures via regenerative simulation. In a queueing network, if all the interarrival times are Markovian (have exponential distributions), it is easy to identify regeneration instants, e.g., an instant corresponding to an arrival to an empty network. In this presentation, we consider networks where interarrival times are generally distributed but have exponential or fatter tails. We show that such distributions can be decomposed into mixture of sums of independent random variables such that at least one of the components is exponentially distributed. This allows an embedded regenerative structure in the Markov process. We show that under mild conditions on the network primitives, the regenerative mean and standard deviation estimators are consistent and satisfy a joint central limit theorem. This is important as it allows construction of asymptotically valid confidence intervals. We show that amongst all such interarrival time decompositions, the one with largest mean exponential component minimizes the asymptotic variance of the standard deviation estimator.


Driving Gloves
Driving Gloves That Are Suitable for Use
Gloves are one of the mandatory equipment for motorcyclists. The function of these gloves is to protect the hands from being injured in an accident, or also to prevent the hands from getting cold quickly due to wind. The point is to protect your hands when driving.
This tool will be very valuable for those of you who really like to ride for a long time. For example, such as touring outside the city and even outside the island, it is mandatory to use it. Because we never know what will be encountered on the highway. Therefore, self-protection for motorized vehicles must be more covered by the whole body, including the hands.
Driving gloves are hand protection, especially the palms of the hands when driving using a motorbike. However, cars are also commonly used. So, this car is usually used when racing competitions. This type of racing can be used for rallies, formula 1, drifting, to off-road, definitely using gloves.
The Driving Gloves Model with All the Consequences
The gloves that exist today have 2 models. So, the first model is that the gloves are full covering all your fingers. Then this second model only covers half of your finger. So, the difference is only in the fingers. some are pseudo-closed, and some cover only half a finger. for use it may be the same. but the security level is definitely better covering the whole.
But the half-finger driving gloves glove has its uses too. For example, like people who use motorbikes for short distances in one city. Then the need to touch something is high. for example, such as workers who use motorbikes. They are sure to often open their cell phones to see. Repost if you have to remove the gloves. Therefore, for this condition it is more suitable for the half.
However, keep in mind is your safety, of course, number one. Or maybe you are a rider who attaches great importance to appearance. The closed glove style will help prevent your fingers from becoming striped. Therefore, the appearance can be maintained. It's a different story with half finger gloves. gloves like that will definitely make your fingers striped if used continuously.
The Advantage of Driving Gloves That Covers the Whole Finger
The advantage of wearing full gloves is of course a higher level of safety. when someone uses gloves like this there is no need to doubt their safety. If seen from previous cases, full gloves can reduce injury during an accident. Even though he was still injured, it was just not that badly.
The next advantage, of course, can withstand the wind to hit your hand. The wind that can enter your body through those fingers will of course be torturous. Your hands will feel more sore than usual. Therefore, it is very dangerous if you can't handle it. In addition, a rider who is exposed to a lot of wind when driving, will get tired faster than if his hands are protected.
Therefore, it is better to use full driving gloves. Because it will protect you from all kinds of direct collision with you. This will be very useful for short and long-distance riders. Because we cannot know when an accident or danger will occur. Because every time you leave the house, the danger will definitely lurk you.
So, you can imagine this when you are not wearing gloves. Using driving gloves is still likely to get hurt, especially if you don't. Therefore, for the drivers out there, it is better to equip their riding equipment as needed.

History - Pig Piggy Banks
Go to content
History banner
The pig brings luck or fortune
For the association with luck or fortune there is historic proof:
 - On the year markets in the middle ages it was custom to honour the winner of games and to give a piglet to the loser. Causing joy and laughter with the bystanders, but it was good fortune for the loser.
 - In German speaking countries it was custom until the 19th century to give apprentices (youngsters who were sent out to become a craftsman) a piglet as reward for a full years learning and labour.
 - It is custom in German speaking countries to give each other a small marzipan pig or piggy bank (in the shape of a pig) for New Year as a token of luck.
 - There are various legends of Saint Anthony the Great (17th January) with pigs. His nick name is "Anthony with the pig".
 - In ancient Egypt on New Year's day an amulet in the shape of a sow (a symbol of fertility, prosperity and good luck) was presented to a woman.
 - In the northern counties of The Netherlands (Friesland, Groningen) it is still custom that someone from the closest family circle gives a new born baby a piggy bank, as a token for prosperity and good luck. Stuffed with money this is the base for the baby's "fortune". The institutional Saving Banks in the Western Society followed that custom (also for their own benefit): children were offered a piggy bank (any shape) for opening a savings account. This was popular between 1950 and 1980. Since the introduction of internet banking this tradition is (sadly) completely lost!
Basic shape and the oldest pig piggy bank
 - The basic shape of a penny bank was the mother's breast. In the ancient Greek culture this was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. This basic penny bank model was found in excavations all over Europe. Potters introduced this easy to produce shape in the Middle Ages (12-14th century).
 - From medieval times on a large wooden heavy sacrifice coffin stood in the church porch. With a slot in which the faithful were expected to put their sacrifice, a donation in coins. These coffins were often found empty because others could not stay away with their sticky fingers. They put a glue stick (used in other occasions to catch singing birds) through the slot and coins remained on the stick.
 - A similar method can also be applied to your piggy bank. Grab a large knife and insert it into the slot while you keep the piggy bank upside down. Shake a little and the coins will slide along the knife out of the pig. Don't ever put paper money in your piggy bank. If you are able to get it out, it will mostly be in pieces.
 - The oldest (13th century; amongst experts disputable!) European piggy bank was found in Billeben (Thüringen, Germany). Certain is that potters from the 17th century on produced clay money banks (also) in the shape of animals like a pig. Other craftsmen started to produce them in tin, metal, silver, etc. The industrial production of ceramic piggy banks, with moulds, started approximately in the middle of the 19th century.
 - In the early centuries people did indeed break their piggy banks and threw the fragments in the cess pool. To find out what form an early piggy bank has, research on fragments is helpful.
Where ever earthenware or porcelain industry is, or has been, one can find piggy banks. In the Netherlands there are well known places like Gouda, Delft, Makkum. In France Quimper (Brittany), Limoges, Lunéville. In the UK one has to search in Staffordshire. Or take a chance on antique markets, boot fairs, etc. In Germany one can try to find piggy banks in the Alsace or the former GDR. In Czechoslovakia I found many piggy banks about 20 years ago, nowadays they all are with stoppers! If you are visiting Thailand you can buy piggy banks in Chiang Mai for example. There are opportunities to find them in Mexico, Vietnam, Africa, South America and lots of them in the USA, etc.
Where ever you are, visit the local souvenir shop, crockery shop, toy shop, charity shop. Don't search for piggy banks in countries where it is not custom to eat pork. Where a pig is an unclean animal, in principle you will not find any pig piggy bank.

|Graphing Random Walk|
I am trying a produce a random walk for a distance n and my task is to
find how many times along the walk the difference between the two values
produced is 0. The walk gives a binary output and is linked to two
selective groups. I feel I have successfully completed this bit, but am
having difficulty plotting a graph to show this. The plot should be the x
value against the natural numbers, thus a visual description of how many
times the graph goes through the x-axis, to prove the Y value produced.
What function should I use to plot this graph?
Does the function need to be done within the "For" function?
If anyone has any ideas or clues as to how I can overcome this problem,
please be in touch.

Site of the First Documented Discovery of Gold in the United States
Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. From this discovery, gold mining spread gradually to nearby counties and eventually into other southern states. During its peak years gold mining was second only to farming in the number of North Carolinians it employed. The estimated value of gold recovered reached over one million dollars a year. North Carolina led the nation in gold production until 1848, when it was eclipsed by the great rush to California.
A Simple Man
John Reed (Johannes Reith) was a Hessian soldier who left the British army near the conclusion of the Revolutionary War and came to settle near fellow Germans living in the lower Piedmont of North Carolina. Most of the people dwelt on modest family-run farms in rural areas, where they raised small grain crops such as corn and wheat.
The life of farmer John Reed would have been long forgotten had it not been for a chance event one Sunday in 1799. On that day, Reed's son Conrad found a large yellow rock in Little Meadow Creek on the Reed farm in Cabarrus County. This rock reportedly weighed 17 pounds and for three years was used as a doorstop at the Reed house.
In 1802 a Fayetteville jeweler identified the gold nugget. He purchased it for the asked price of $3.50—one-tenth of one percent of its true value.
The following year John Reed began the Reed mining operation by forming a partnership with three local men. The partners supplied equipment and enslaved men to dig for gold in the creek bed, while Reed provided the land. The returns were to be divided equally. The men mined mainly in the off-season from farming, giving first priority to raising their crops. Before the end of the first year, an enslaved boy named Peter had unearthed a 28-pound nugget, which was the largest documented found in the United States. Peter's Nugget remains the largest gold nugget found at Reed Gold Mine and the largest found east of the Mississippi River.
The Fever Spreads
Hearing of Reed's good fortune, other Piedmont farmers began exploring their creeks and finding gold. Men and women, both young and old, worked in the gold fields. Foreigners joined them, including the skilled Cornishmen from England.
"Placer," or creek, gold mining led to underground mining when it was learned in 1825 that the metal also existed in veins of white quartz rock. The search for underground or "lode" gold required much more money, labor, and machinery. Underground work at Reed was not begun until 1831. Four years later a family squabble resulted in a court injunction that closed the mine for a decade.
John Reed was a wealthy man when he died in 1845. Soon the Reed mine was sold at public auction.
The mine was eventually purchased in 1895 by Dr. Justin D. Lisle, Oliver S. Kelly and his son O. Warren Kelly for $15,000. They started exploring the older workings on Lower Hill, then worked towards Upper Hill. A 10-Stamp California style mill was purchased from the Mecklenburg Iron Works of Charlotte by 1896 and placed along Little Meadow Creek to crush and process the quartz faster. The Upper Hill workings were deepened first to the 100-foot level and finally reaching 150-feet looking for quartz veins. Unfortunately the gold they hoped to find never materialized and the Kelly family ended all underground mining in 1912, abandoning their efforts at Reed.
One highlight during the Kelly era at Reed was the discovery of a 23-pound gold nugget by four men - Jacob L. Shinn, Jesse Cox, his son A.M. "Mack" Cox and Dr. J.R. Jerome. They were digging near an old road, an area not completely searched in the past during April 1896. On the 9th of April, the men found a rather large heavy rock, but it didn't have the correct look, so was tossed aside. Finally Jacob Shinn took it to the creek, washed it off and realized it did in fact contain a large amount of gold. All the partners grew extremely excited, and took a wagon ride back to Georgeville to put the gold in Shinn's store. This rock was then determined to be a 23 pound gold nugget, the last large nugget of any size to be reported from the Reed property. Plaster casts were made of the nugget for the N.C. State Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, who had also taken an interest in the nugget. Once the excitement ended, the nugget was sold for $4,800, the value of the gold at the time ($20.67 per troy ounce). While Reed interprets this as the Shinn nugget, some of the Cox family descendants claim Mack actually discovered it in the ground. There is evidence to substantiate this claim, since the photograph showing the original nugget lists A.M. not Jacob Shinn as the person who discovered the nugget. Either way, both men, along with their partners, aided in this great discovery.
Portions of the underground tunnels at Reed Gold Mine have been restored for tours. A visitor center contains exhibits of gold and historical mining equipment. An orientation film highlights the first gold discovery. A picnic area is available, and trails wind through the historic mining area.
The Reed Expansion Committee, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of North Carolina's gold mining heritage, supports many ongoing projects at Reed Gold Mine.

Measure surface roughness optically
Surface topography and its structural details like surface roughness is traditionally inspected using tactile stylus-based profilometers (stylus instruments) by guiding a probe tip over a workpiece surface and detecting each vertical deflection by the surface texture. With this method, the information about the surface topography including surface details like roughness is obtained along a 2D profile. It is questionable to which extent profile-based information could describe surface characteristics and provide function-oriented information.
Optical vs tactile surface roughness and texture measurement
If the surface has randomly distributed features, the result for the roughness parameter is strongly influenced by the measuring position. In many cases, profile-based surface description is insufficient to provide information about functional behavior of the surface. Profile based surface characterization allows only limited information about the cause of poor functionality and so includes limited information for quality control purposes.
Areal 3D surface roughness measurement data
Three-dimensional, areal topography measurement is not subjected to those limitations. Not only does it provide an image of the surface that makes it easier to understand, but areal measurements also enable a function- and structure-oriented evaluation. Furthermore, 2D profiles can easily be extracted from the areal measurement data which can again be evaluated according to the common rules of profile-based roughness evaluation. In contrast to a tactile roughness measurement, optical 3D roughness measurement is non-contact and non-reactive thus avoiding any damage or influence on sensitive surfaces by the measurement procedure.
Areal surface roughness measurement data provides an easy and complete view of an entire surface. In contrast, a profile measurement contains only a limited section of the entire surface and is less intuitive.
ISO for profile and areal surface evaluation
The measurement chains for the areal or profile-based surface evaluation are described in ISO 25178 or ISO 4287, they differ from each other with some details.

The New American Slave (Roger Ingalls)
Remember that game teachers played to help develop our logic and reasoning skills? They would hold up a picture and ask, "what's wrong with this picture" and we would have to figure it out.
Well, my fellow Americans, what's wrong with this picture?
Based on the incarceration numbers shown in this chart, it appears that many Americans suddenly became criminals during the Nixon administration and turned more evil during the Reagan administration.
Now, I ask you, does this really make sense? Did the citizens of the United States exponentially turn to the dark side during the 70s and 80s? Your gut is probably saying no, people don't change that drastically. Your intuition is correct, the people didn't change but the laws did.
Virtually overnight, human behavior was criminalized by Nixon's War On Drugs legislation. This was conservative backlash for the 1960's Enlightened Movements. Ten years later, the Reagans stepped into the Whitehouse. While the country was in a recession, Nancy spent a few hundred thousand dollars on new dinnerware and this didn't go over well with the public. The spin doctors came to her rescue and she became the Just Say No First Lady. The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 came into existence along with harsh penalties for drug related crimes.
Nixon's prohibition of recreational drugs and the subsequent draconian penalties are responsible for the exponential growth of the prison and jail populations. To make matter worse, incarceration is becoming more privatized and the bigger prison companies are publicly traded. Wall Street expects these for profit companies to grow annually at a rate that is faster than the real crime rate. Do we see a problem here? The prison industry, their lobbyists and law enforcement need more criminalization of human behavior and harsher penalties to maintain jobs and profits.
Throughout history man has used mind altering substances, it's our nature. It is estimated that 30% of those incarcerated have committed non-violent drug related crimes.
Taxpayers can no longer afford an annual $70 billion bill for the War On Drugs.
We need to do away with the prohibition of recreational drugs and regulate them similar to tobacco and alcohol. We also need to do away with for profit incarceration that creates incentives for enslavement.
The 40 year experiment of criminalizing human behavior has failed.

Naomi Watts and Sophia Lillis are set to take lead roles in writer-director Claire McCarthy's drama Burning Season.
Adapted for the screen by writer-producer Jenny Halper and based on a short story by Laura Van Den Berg, Burning Season portrays a mother-daughter relationship set against the landscape of Madagascar, where nearly all local species are indigenous and endangered.
Primatologist June Engle (Watts) returns to a drought-stricken Madagascar in search of endangered species and is dragged along by teenage daughter Celia (Lillis), who uses the trip as a voyage of discovery.
Burning Season was developed by Halper and Kate Sharp via Daughter Films. The script was featured on the 2016 Black List.
Sharp and Halper will also produce the film, set to go into production in South Africa and Madagascar.
Watts is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment. McCarthy is repped by CAA and RGM.

Record-holder Dheeraj is a walking encyclopedia on famed elephants in Kerala
Dheeraj S Nair
Dheeraj S Nair
Kumaranelloor: Meet Dheeraj S Nair who recently entered the India Book of Records for his exceptional knowledge about elephants.
In just 2 minutes and 58 seconds this Kindergarten student can recite the names of 109 elephants in Kerala. He learned about elephants from his grand-uncle, PN Sreekumar who was the Administrative Officer of the Devaswom Board. Dheeraj can also understand the body language of elephants, the name of the mascots as well as the ones who recently died.
Moreover, Dheeraj knows everything from the eye colour of a particular elephant, the length of its trunk, the ones who have the maximum number of nails and why they are considered great, the number of elephants at the Guruvayoor Devaswom, the significance of Guruvayoor Kesavan to Malayalam films, and also about the elephant owners.
Dheeraj will instantly tell you that the heaviest Asian Elephant is Guruvayoor Nandan who weighs 7,500 kg. Of course at times his mom, Divya Nair helps in recalling some of these answers. Dheeraj plans to buy an elephant when he grows up.
Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, MLA, congratulated him. NSS local union administrators and elephant owners once came home with bouquets.

Model ID: 119
Striking a drum excites a spectrum of vibration modes that together make up the instrument's characteristic sound or acoustic signal. These vibration modes correspond to the eigenmodes, or eigenfunctions, of the drum's membrane. Thus you can study this problem by solving eigenvalue problems for stretched membranes.
Two different geometric shapes are modeled, with all other parameters being equal. If you can find two differently shaped membranes that have identical eigenvalues—in other words, they are isospectral—then it's not possible to "hear" the shape of a specific drum.

text: Anytime summarization supports crew-centered operations by assisting astronauts in understanding robot performance without eyes-on supervision. These summaries also help remote controllers come up to speed quickly when they cannot observe operations directly due to communication constraints. The proposed project will develop and evaluate quantifiable metrics for robot performance that can be applied at different levels of robot autonomy (NASA Roadmap TA4). The technology for anytime summarization has direct application in NASA analogue field tests with intelligent rovers. One such test is rover exploration of a lava tube as a terrestrial analog for Mars subsurface exploration. Such subsurface operations will result in periods where the rover is out of communication. The proposed software will provide key performance indicators and interactive data exploration to quickly orient personnel once the rover is back in communication. The proposed metrics for data coverage and quality should The Department of Defense has increasingly relied on remotely operated robots and unmanned drones for hazardous missions, such as disarming improvised explosive devices or performing aerial surveillance. The software for anytime summarization supports remote situation awareness of such operations. In fact the measures of data quality and coverage were originally developed for video collected by UAV. In the private sector, remote monitoring of drilling operations has much in common with remote space operations. Drilling operations are hazardous, making remote operations desirable. Monitoring for key performance indicators is needed to ensure safety and to make operations more cost effective. The proposed anytime summarization aids situation awareness for remote monitoring of drilling operations.

October 23: Gertrude Ederle (_PHONE_)
Also born on October 23 (either 1905 or 1906, sources disagree--if the latter, this is her centennial), American swimmer Gertrude Ederle. She began breaking amateur records at the age of 12; by 18, she had won three Olympic medals, and was preparing to cross the English Channel. In 1926, on her second attempt, she made the crossing, hours faster than any man had ever done. She was the first woman to swim the Channel, and was greeted with a tickertape parade on her return to the US.
Why is this a disability history story? Because Ederle was deaf, beginning with the effects of severe measles in childhood. After WWII, Ederle taught swimming for years, to the students at the Lexington School for the Deaf in New York City.

The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, an impressive feature in Coventry's regenerated city centre was designed by architecs Pringle Richards Sharratt is a beautifully crafted new extension, and imaginative re-use of an existing building that located in Coventry, United Kingdom. The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum project consists of two main elements which create accommodations including new temporary and permanent exhibition galleries spaces, history centre reading room, a new archive for the city and other significant collections, arcade orientation space with a timber gridshell roof, a café, shop and tourist information centre. The project also consisted of a conversion of the existing building to provide galleries for the city's art and natural history collections, museum stores, conservation studios, loading bay, further education spaces and administration offices.
The primary constraints were the relationship between the new building and the new University Square, the setting of the Grade 1 listed Cathedral the existing Herbert building and the Mediaeval vault within the site. The form of the building responds to both the Medieval context of the area and the post-war reconstruction of the city, with a new space that draws the public from the new square into the museum. The former back of the building is now a new front facing the Cathedral, with an arcade connecting it to the old main entrance. A new glazed public arcade extends the public realm through the building, forming a nucleus for the whole complex, flanked by two levels of galleries on one side and the single storey History Centre on the other.
The highest standards of sustainable design were sought. Old plant was replaced with modern, energy efficient systems. Natural ventilation and timber from sustainable resources have been used as far as possible. (The need for strict temperature and humidity controls, as well as a four-hour fire resistant structure, for the archives, placed some restrictions on choices.) New trees and a Peace Garden have replaced a former car park. The landscape outside is equally important and the new Peace Garden commemorates the bombing of Coventry during the war and marks the outline of the former houses that occupied the site, with Corten walls engraved with the names of their occupants between the 1400s and 1940. The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum is one of Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award Finalist 2009.

Managing inter-object dependencies in object-oriented systems is a complex task. Changes of one object often require dependent objects to change accordingly. Making every object explicitly inform every dependent object about its state changes intertwines object interfaces and implementations, thereby hampering system evolution and maintenance. These problems can be overcome by introducing the notion of Implicit Invocation as a decoupling mechanism between objects to object-oriented systems. This paper presents the Event Notification pattern, a pattern to smoothly integrate implicit invocation mechanisms with object-oriented designs. State changes of objects, dependencies of other objects on them and the maintenance links between these objects are made explicit as first class objects. The resulting structure is highly flexible and can be used to manage inter-object dependencies in object-oriented systems efficiently.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with C#. Is there a concept in Windows Forms development of somehow linking a label with is text box? Something so that they move together as a unit? In the ASP.NET world, there is the AssociatedControlId property of the label control. I also think I remember MS Access form designer having some way of associating (or linking) labels with controls. Does this feature even exist in Visual Studio world?
If not, how do you group labels with controls such that if you move a text box you don't have to manually move the label also?

No there is not - at least with the out of the box controls. If you want this you could achieve it with a user control.
In general the winforms is not line driven in the same way as HTML is.

There doesn't appear to be a built in one. You can roll your own Field class though. Below is a complete example.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
namespace FieldClassTest
 class Field : FlowLayoutPanel
 public Label label;
 public TextBox text_box;
 public Field(string label_text)
 : base()
 AutoSize = true;
 label = new Label();
 label.Text = label_text;
 label.AutoSize = true;
 label.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left;
 label.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
 text_box = new TextBox();
 static class Program
 static void Main(string[] args)
 var form = new Form();
 var panel = new FlowLayoutPanel();
 panel.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.TopDown;
 panel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
 var first_name = new Field("First Name");
 var last_name = new Field("Last Name");
Here's what the example program looks like on my system:

I 2nd _USER_ answer of just creating a user control with a textbox in it. The panel can be used to group controls, but it can be pretty tedious if you have a lot of controls on the form.
If you want to support more than just textboxes, WinForms allows you to create your own designer. If you inherit your designer from the ParentControlDesigner class, you can drop any control you want into your custom label control.
share|improve this answer
If you want to group labels with other controls (or group controls in general), then use the System.Windows.Forms.Panel control. The specific purpose of the Panel control is to group collections of controls.
More information Panel Class (System.Windows.Forms)
If you want a higher degree of control (rather than using a Panel), then you could create a UserControl, that encapsulates a Label and a Control.
share|improve this answer
i think the best bet would be to use a GroupBox.
share|improve this answer
You can use extension methods to do it, follow example:
Private associatedLabels As New Dictionary(Of Control, Label)
Public Sub AssociateLabel(ByVal control As Control, ByVal label As Label)
 If (Not associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
 associatedLabels.Add(control, label)
 End If
End Sub
Public Function GetAssociatedLabel(ByVal control As Control) As Label
 If (associatedLabels.ContainsKey(control)) Then
 Return associatedLabels(control)
 Throw New Exception("There is no associated label")
 End If
End Function

Study on Imaging Arsenic Aggregates in Porous Media by X-Ray Difference Micro-Tomography
In order to investigate the change of internal structure of porous media caused by arsenic deposition, X-ray difference micro-tomography was used to characterize the distribution of arsenic aggregates within porous media by scanning a series of arsenic samples prepared in the laboratory and arsenic-rich fluvial sediments from the Río Loa in Chile. After image processing, background noise in the tomograms was reduced and arsenic information was enhanced. Then the processed images were used to generate 3D spatial distribution datasets of arsenic in the media. Tools like Avizo6 and Blob3D were used to reconstruct and visualize the 3D datasets. 3D visualization showed that arsenic accumulated in the pore space and grain surface; arsenic aggregates of different sizes had distinctly different morphologies, which small aggregates tended to be spherical while big aggregates were relatively flat. These results show that difference micro-tomography can be used to observe the pre- and post-deposition structure of porous media, without any destruction to the samples.

AudienceView Documentation
Defining the Default Date and Time Formats
You can change the format AudienceView uses to display dates and times if you have the permission to do so. The default date format is YYYY-MM-DD. Changing the default date format will be used across all AudienceView applications including Desktop, online sales, kiosk sales and access control. It is recommended that you only use numeric formats for displaying dates and times and avoid using abbreviations or full names of the day or month.
Information
Some date and time formats displayed within the core reports are fixed and display YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD.
You can override the default date and time format at the Business Object or Collection Object level to meet your needs. For example, if you want users to see the full name of the day and month when searching for performances, you could modify the Start Date within TSperformanceCO to change the date format.
Information
At the Business Object and Collection Object level, the date formatting options are controlled using the dateFormats list. If the desired date format is not available, you can modify this list to include the desired option.
Once you change the date format, you should verify the date format displayed in the following areas:
 - Price Charts
 - Performances
 - Series
To define the default date and time format, complete the following:
 1. Define the date and time format within the Registry.
 For more information, refer to Defining the Default Date and Time Format within the Registry.
 2. Define the date and time format on the application server.
 For more information, refer to Changing Windows Date and Time Settings.
Information
The date and time format defined for the application server (using Regional and Language Options in the Windows Control Panel) must match the date format defined in the AudienceView Registry. If the two do not match, the application will interpret ambiguous dates based on the Windows settings. An example of an ambiguous date is 01/02/2011 which could be January 2, 2011 or February 1, 2011. If the Windows setting is MM/DD/YYYY and the AudienceView setting is DD/MM/YYYY, the date 01/02/2011 entered in AudienceView will be considered MM/DD/YYYY not DD/MM/YYYY as expected.

The working temperature of optical transceivers affects all the parameters of optical transceivers. If the ambient temperature of the optical transceiver changes, the operating current of the optical transceiver will vary with temperature. At the same time, the parameters of the optical transceivers change, which affects the normal transmission of optical transceivers. Today, we mainly talk about the causes of too high or too low temperature on optical transceivers and its impact.
What Is the Normal Temperature of Optical transceivers?
Because the type and brand of the optical transceiver are complicated, the temperature of modules corresponding to different optical transceiver temperature levels are different and the temperature specifications defined by the supplier are different, whether the temperature of optical transceivers is abnormal or not needs to be considered according to these factors. Before we use the optical transceiver, it is best to check the vendor's definition of the temperature profile of the optical transceiver so as to reduce the number of problems caused by abnormal optical transceiver temperature.
Optical transceiver temperature mainly includes three levels: commercial grade, extended grade, industrial grade. The following is a detailed description of these three temperatures:
|Temperature Grade||Abbreviation||Temperature Range|
|Commercial temperature range||COM||0 ~ + 70 ℃|
|Extended temperature range||EXT||-20 ~ 85 ℃|
|Industrial temperature range||IND||-40 ~ 85 ℃|
Three Reasons That Affect the Temperature of Optical Transceivers
1. The Poor Quality and Workmanship
If you use the optical transceivers with poor quality and workmanship, then the phenomenon of abnormal temperature of the optical transceivers is more common. Because the function of such optical transceivers is instable, heat dissipation is also relatively poor. In order to reduce the temperature anomaly and unnecessary discard, we advise to use the optical transceivers with better function, quality and workmanship.
2. The Harsh Application Environment
Optical transceiver operating environment is in the data center, computer room or interchanger. If the optical transceivers are used in other environments, the change of the ambient temperature will inevitably change the temperature of the optical transceiver, thereby affecting its optical power and optical sensitivity. If the application environment of optical transceivers is harsh, then we advise to select the optical transceivers with industrial temperature or extended temperature.
3. The Use of Second-hand Optical Transceivers
The temperature of new optical transceivers is usually at 0-70 ° C and many second-hand optical transceivers are inaccessible. And the second-hand optical transceivers cannot operate normally in high-temperature or low-temperature conditions. Therefore, we advocate the use of new optical transceivers.
What Are the Impacts of High or Low Temperature on Optical transceivers?
If the optical transceiver temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the function of the optical transceiver and make the communication data appear faulty. The optical transceivers will alarm if its temperature isn't in the normal range. If the optical transceivers are in a bad situation, interchangers will send data continuously. The optical transceivers will not send / receive data from the beginning until it is recovered to normal operation.
1. The Impact of Too High Temperature on Optical Transceivers:
If the operating temperature of optical transceivers is too high, the optical power of optical transceivers will become larger and the receiving signal will be faulty, and even the optical transceiver will be burned. As a result, the optical transceivers cannot work normally. In this case, DDM function should be added. You can select temperature control system for real-time monitoring and compensation to ensure that the optical transceiver extinction ratio and luminous power stable, to ensure the normal operation of the optical communication system.
2. The Impact of Too Low Temperature on Optical Transceivers:
Generally speaking, as long as optical transceivers are not exposed to the harsh environment below 0℃, the temperature will not be too low. It is better not to use the optical transceiver in the condition of too low temperature, as this may cause the function of the optical transceiver to be unstable.
How about the Temperature of Gigalight's Optical Transceivers?
As one of the most top-rated optical transceiver vendors in China, Gigalight complies with the temperature grade standard that the industry requires, and will meet the customer demand for temperature. In addition, all optical transceivers will undergo a high and low temperature burn-in test prior to shipping to test the temperature to ensure the quality of the products.

Serve ECW Imagery with ArcGIS Server
ECW for ArcGIS Server is an extension for ArcGIS that provides compatibility with the enahanced compression wavelet (ECW) image-compression format, enabling you to serve ECW imagery from ArcGIS Server 9.3, 9.3.1,10, and 10.1 through Esri-supported service interfaces.
Users worldwide rely on ECW technology to save time during imagery processing and transfer, and reduce the hardware requirements for their geospatial workflows. It enables you to compress bulky imagery files into manageable sizes while preserving the visual quality of the images. It includes multi-resolution level of detail within the file, eliminating the need to generate or distribute tile caches, pyramids, or overviews. ECW also supports opacity channels, allowing images to overlay other imagery cleanly without showing compression artifacts around the edges.
Deliver ECW Imagery from ArcGIS Server
Now, for the first time, ArcGIS Server users can deliver ECW imagery, providing their end users with the fastest image decompression available. ECW is already supported in traditional desktop GIS, CAD, and remote sensing packages such as ArcGIS®, AutoCAD®, ERDAS IMAGINE®, ERDAS ER Mapper, FalconView™, Bentley Microstation®, ENVI®, and PCI Geomatica®.
Accelerate Your Geospatial Workflow
With ECW support, ArcGIS Server users can leverage compression technology capable of quickly decompressing and opening massive files, in many cases faster than uncompressed imagery can be opened. This powerful extension enables ArcGIS Server to leverage the significant format advantages for high-performance image serving in an Esri environment.

Model Development Code for Small Cities
First published in 1999, Oregon's Model Development Code and User's Guide for Small Cities ("Model Code") has been used widely around Oregon. The TGM Program developed the model in response to numerous requests for assistance from Oregon communities. Small cities wanted consistent guidance and technical expertise in zoning, development standards, review procedures, and implementation of state planning rules and statutes.
In developing the model code, now in its Third Edition (2012), the TGM Program worked with a statewide advisory committee consisting of city officials, planning commissioners, state and regional planning agency representatives, and land use advocates, and business representatives.
