Effects of a single change will resonate till the end of eternity and will influence or change the future BIG time.
Consequences that will follow. This article will show you how just "Appearing" in the Past will change the future of the Whole universe forever and how just a slight/small changes in the Past can bring about HUGE changes or Big changes in the future and have great impacts on the future. How a slight shift or change can ENORMOUSLY change the future.
follow. As i said in one of my previous posts/articles,"EVERYTHING IS CONSEQUENTIAL"
the duration/life-time of the whole universe.
a time line to come. Now ... to be continued..
Here's an example i wish to share to express the idea.
his eyes and he is standing in a park in Boston USA. it is year 1974.
Lets say larry appeared at this moment in time. because of larry's appearance, the air was displaced a bit and it caused a small gush of air to flow in some direction. That say caused some bird or a small butterfly to fly away of fear. The bird changes its path or direction of flight as soon as it sees larry appearing. The bird sees does into another direction and does not find her mate which it was meant to find on it's normal course if larry wasn't there. It finds Another mate later and create a different lineage of birds, which fly in directions different from the original timeline. May be in the original timeline, the bird's Original progeny had to be one day used to create a vaccine that would save the world, or attract the attention of a scientist at a very specific moment to cause him to have an epiphany for a huge discovery. May be these progeny will harbour a virus that will eradicate humanity from the planet. Anyways leaving the bird, lets focus on the butterly. Say the butterly changed its direction bcz of larry. the butterfly will then fly in a slightly different direction from destined and say sit on or pollinate Flower B instead of Flower A on an Apple tree near by. This cause Flower A to wither in time and Flower B to form an Apple. A Man (say Mr.X) passes that tree in a few months. He grabs the apple from Position B instead of Position A(change 1) . Because of being on Position B , he sees a wonderful sight, like say a Beautiful Girl, which he would not have seen if he Grabbed an apple from Position A, bcz of someone standing in the way. This makes him wait for a few seconds to stay at that place and watch the beautiful Girl or may be think about trying to approach her(observed change 2) . There are thousands of possibilities at every moment of time to happen. Each choice will create a different future for the whole universe and everyone in it. okay putting that aside, lets focus on the Mr.X.
This change causes Mr. X to look at the Girl for a few moments and then continue on his Path/Aim he was persuing. Bcz of a delay of a few seconds, Mr. X Reaches the Road crossing a few metres ahead of the tree a few seconds later. Mr. X misses the green light at the signal by just 5 seconds. He stops (observed change 3) This causes another theif named Mr. Y to steal his purse (Obseved change 4). Mr. X crosses the light 1 minute later(observed change 5). He reaches the other side and calls for the Cab. He sits in A CAB and misses the cab he was to sit in the original timeline.( Observed change 6). He has to share the cab with a Pretty Girl (OC 7). on the 40 minute ride, Mr X and Miss t become friends. (OC 8) Mr.X and Miss t start datng and make out.(oc 10) MIss t becomes pregnant. (O 11) Miss t gives birth to a child and becomes a single mother. ( OC 12) A child comes into being , grows in poverty, decide to remove poverty, enters politics and grows up to become the President of the united states. (OC 13) He invests money into NASA to send BIG Ship to Mars. (OC 13) at some point of time different then it would have happened otherwise. The PUSH by the exaust of Gasses coming out of the rear end of the Rocket cause the earth to be pushed too, though a little( say 1 billionth of a mm) from its normal path in the orbit and the cosmos. (OC14) This cause the Earth to be at an Entirely different location in the orbit around the sun or in the cosmos (in around 1000000000000 years) causing entirely different Seasons, or weather patterns or Many other changes on a HUGE Scale. ( OC 15) Meanwhile , Mr. X missed meeting Miss P who was sitting in the cab A he missed. Miss U finally ends up marrying Mr U. Mr U and Miss P give birth or Mr. D and Mr W. They cause a sequence of events that never happened in the original timeline and also caused dissapearance of a multitude of events that were to happen in the original timline. Mean while say Mr. X and Miss P had to bear a child that would make the largest ship in the world, like titanic, which would sink and cause hundreds to loose their life, while due to Just Larry's appearance and change in the path of a butterfly, and thus a different flower being pollinated , and a small change in the trajectory/ path of Mr.X they never met, they never had children who will make the titanic like ship and the ship will never sink.( OC 16) This will change the whole population. Who will exist and who will not. (OC 17) say The President born out of Mr. X will declare Declare a War while The other timeline's president did not.
So i say going to the Past or sending anything, Data, Machines, Things or Humans to the Pat can have dire changes in the timeline that we night even exist. A small change like changing the direction of wind , or a change in the path of flight of a butterfly can eventually lead to a World War or a Mass Pandemic or even save the whole planet destined to be doomed. we cannot calculate how much will change yet i guess.

The hour has come for Whatsapp to skip their first initial plan of not showing ads. The company has found a particular interesting place to show ads to everyone.
Since the acquisition of the company, Whatsappp four years ago, by Facebook for $19 billion. The messaging app co-founders has never thought of making some money via the app. But today changes the story.
You might be want to know that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's goal to monetize WhatsApp has forced the social media messaging service's co-founders to leave the company. He was in news as of recent.
After the resignation, Brian Acton, who is one of the founder said to Forbes, "Targeted advertising is what makes me unhappy," He also added that Mark Zuckerberg is rushing to make money from the messaging service.
Hence, making some profits clearly undermine elements of its encryption technology. Wondering where the company had chose to display the ads? the answer is "Status" It was confirmed by Vice President Chris Daniels on Wednesday.
For remembrance purpose, WhatsApp has over 1.5 billion users globally, including more than 250 million in India. WhatsApp's "Status" feature allows users to share text, photos, videos and animated GIFs that disappear after 24 hours.

Q: Trouble printing a generator expression as a list I am trying to return the values of all the leaves in a binary tree with a generator and putting the yielded values in a list. This is my recursive code that uses yield statements but I don't know how return the finals values with a generator. The second piece of code titled "Previous Code" shows the same code with print statements which outputs the correct values so the only issue is the generator. As a note, this code is using root.left and root.right imported from a Binary Tree class and seems to be working properly. Thank you in advance for any help!!
My code
        def leaves_list(self):
            def find(root):
                if not root:
                    yield
                if not root.left and not root.right:
                    yield root.data
                if root.left:
                    find(root.left)
                if root.right:
                    find(root.right)
            # my attempt
            a = find(self.root)
            lst = []
            for i in a:
                lst.append(next(a))
            return find(self.root)

Previous Code
    def leaves_list(self):
        def find(root):
            if not root:
                return
            if not root.left and not root.right:
                print(root.data, end = " ")
                return
            if root.left:
                find(root.left)
            if root.right:
                find(root.right)
        return find(self.root)

This is my tester code and should be returning the list [5, 1, 8, 4].
Tester Code
root = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(3)
T = LinkedBinaryTree(root)
a = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(2)
a.parent = root
root.left = a
b = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(7)
b.parent = root
root.right = b
c = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(9)
c.parent = a
a.left = c
d = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(5)
d.parent = c
c.left = d
e = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(1)
e.parent = c
c.right = e
f = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(8)
f.parent = b
b.left = f
g = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(4)
g.parent = b
b.right = g

print(T.leaves_list())

A: There are a few issues with your attempt:

*

*find(self.root) is called twice. This should not be necessary as it will do the work twice to get the same result again

*lst is created and populated but is never used. You should probably return it.

*Don't consume an iterator with both a for loop, and with repeated calls to next(). When you do so, you actually go to the next value twice in each iteration, thereby skipping a value in each iteration.

*Consider also that the standard list function already has this feature of creating a list from an iterator.

*In the find function you are doing nothing with the value(s) yielded by the recursive call. You should yield them also. You can use the yield from syntax for that.

*if not root will not work correctly when the tree really is empty, as the execution still continues after that if block, and so an exception will be raised. You need a return there.

*Also, when the tree is empty, there shouldn't be anything that is yielded. An iterator is allowed to just not yield anything, which is appropriate in that case.

*Not a problem, but since you have if not root as a base case, you don't really need to check for None before going left or right. So those if conditions can be removed, and the recursive calls can be made unconditionally.
Here is the corrected version:
    def leaves_list(self):
        def find(root):
            if not root:
                return
            if not root.left and not root.right:
                yield root.data
            yield from find(root.left)
            yield from find(root.right)

        return list(find(self.root))

A: # my attempt
a = find(self.root)
lst = []
for i in a:
     lst.append(i)
return lst

A shorter alternative:
# my attempt
return list(find(self.root))


This just in: An update in the world of bizarre, awful and ridiculous ways of treating animals. Dog spinning.
The tradition of dog spinning involves a supposedly beloved animal, hoisted between two poles and attached to a rope that is then revved to spin and spin until the dog finally falls, disoriented and terrified, into a puddle of water below.
Apparently this ritual, native to Bulgaria, is a superstitious way of warding off evil spirits at the start of spring.
But more recently, dog spinning has been used as a way of getting rid of diseases, like rabies and foot and mouth disease.
The practice was officially banned in 2006. But like other bans on inhumane traditions, the law against dog spinning can be hard to enforce: Rumor has it that in some areas of Bulgaria, man's best friend is still scared sick from spinning.
A video showing the practice was uploaded to YouTube as recently as 2011.
And we call ourselves "rational animals."

I am extremely confident that these are HK21 bipod release levers (not to be confused with 21E/23E which are totally different). I do not have an example of a HK21 bipod for comparison however; so I can only say with 99.9 percent certainty.

How High In The Sky Can Bouncy Go?
by Christine Chan
Bouncy! ($0.99) by Marcel Blanco is a game with a simple concept: jump on a trampoline. There really aren't many games like this, which are simply about bouncing and nothing more, at least, until now.
I'm sure that many of us have wanted to jump around and perform cool tricks on a trampoline, right? The problem with this is the fact that not many people have trampolines to begin with, and they can be pretty expensive. Plus, there's always the dangers involved — what happens if you miss a landing? Or somehow end up off the mat and hit the hard part? You'll probably meet some expensive medical bills, and it's just not recommended. But now you can have the fun of trampoline jumping, without the physical pain!
Bouncy features an adorable little bunny, named Bouncy, who loves to jump around on a trampoline. He's living your dream, but hey, it's close enough. I am quite drawn in with the paper-like texture of the game's visuals, which are pretty appealing on the eyes. Animations are incredibly smooth as well, though Bouncy has rag doll-like movement, especially if he fails to land properly on the trampoline. The game features some whimsical music and cute sound effects, that is, until you have Bouncy die a gruesome death, which is when you will hear gooey blood noises.
You start with a simple tutorial of how the game works, which is quite easy. You get two options for controls: touch or slide. I personally prefer touch. With touch, the screen is divided into three different sections: left, middle, and right. Press, hold, and release in the middle section to make Bouncy gain momentum and height as he jumps. Repeat the process in the left or right sections to make him do a flip, but make sure you make him land properly after a trick, otherwise he will have a bloody demise (and a lot of them too).
I tried the slide controls, and they're a bit more difficult than the touch. To make Bouncy gain speed, swipe down. To make him move forward or backward in a direction, swipe horizontally. I found it to not be as easy as the touch controls, and it will definitely take a bit of getting used to. Personally, I will just stick with touch, as it makes the game playable with one hand.
There is also wind in the game, and this affects Bouncy's ability to do tricks. You are able to see the wind speed and direction, so make sure to use it to your advantage. These are constantly changing as well, so keep an eye on it constantly.
You can perform combos by doing tricks in succession without pausing. When a combo is started, the points you earn for each subsequent trick will be more, since you get a multiplier. It's important to try and get these going, as it can be the fastest way to rack up points.
In addition to having fun just endlessly jumping, the game will give you different objectives to meet. You will be asked to do some things, such as "Perform 12 tricks in one game," or "Get a combo run of 3000," or "Do a triple backflip." There are plenty of missions to do, which will definitely keep things fresh as you try to meet them all.
Your score is dependent on the tricks you do, combos, and completing goals. You will earn some stars as you play, which can be used to purchase different skin colors for Bouncy. These will provide various rotation bonuses, making it easier to flip and spin on the trampoline.
Your trampoline level can also be increased as you acquire achievements and complete goals. The appearance will change, and each new trampoline will give you boosts in feel, performance, and even multiplier amounts.
There is Game Center support for leaderboards (best score and best combo run) and quite a handful of achievements. If you are skilled enough, you can unlock some new game modes, which have boosts for more speed, height, control, and bonus points.
This is a beautiful looking game with charming sounds, and I love the simple-yet-hard-to-master gameplay. It will definitely keep you entertained in short bursts, and the challenge is quite welcome, to me at least.
The only complaint I have is that for some people, this may get boring after a while. That's because you can't really do any more tricks that aren't just rotating in midair. If the developer could add some new styles of tricks in the future, then that would be great. Currently, it's a bit repetitive for each game you play, but that's the thing with simple games, right?
Still, we don't have many games out there that just involve trampoline jumping, so if you have always wanted to experience the fun of trampolines without the expense or real life danger, then give Bouncy a try. It's availalable for $0.99 in the App Store for your iPhone and iPad.
Bouncy!

Henry Clay was one of the most powerful and politically significant Americans of the early 19th century. Though he was never elected president, he held enormous influence in the U.S. Congress. A part of his legacy that survives to the present day is that it was Clay who first made the position of speaker of the house one of the centers of power in Washington.
Clay's oratorical abilities were legendary, and spectators would flock to the Capitol when it was known he would be giving a speech on the floor of the Senate. But while he was a beloved political leader to millions, Clay was also the subject of vicious political attacks and he collected many enemies over his lengthy career.
Following a contentious Senate debate in 1838 on the perennial issue of slavery, Clay uttered perhaps his most famous quote: "I'd rather be right than be president."
When Clay died in 1852 he was widely mourned. An elaborate traveling funeral for Clay, during which his body was taken to major cities, allowed countless Americans to participate in public mourning for someone who had made a major impact on the nation's development.
Henry Clay was born in Virginia on April 12, 1777. His family was relatively prosperous for their area, but in later years the legend arose that Clay grew up in extreme poverty.
Clay's father died when Henry was four years old, and his mother remarried. When Henry was a teenager the family moved westward to Kentucky, and Henry stayed in Virginia.
Clay found a job working for a prominent lawyer in Richmond. He studied the law himself, and at the age of 20 he left Virginia to join his family in Kentucky and begin a career as a frontier lawyer.
Clay became a successful lawyer in Kentucky, and was elected to the Kentucky legislature at the age of 26. Three years later he went to Washington for the first time to finish the term of a senator from Kentucky.
When Clay first joined the U.S. Senate he was still 29, too young for the Constitutional requirement that senators be 30 years old. In the Washington of 1806 no one seemed to notice or care.
Henry Clay was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1811. He was named speaker of the house in his first session as a congressman.
Clay turned the position of speaker of the house, which had been largely ceremonial, into a powerful position. The speaker could appoint members of congress to committee posts, and Clay turned that privilege into a powerful tool. By appointing his political allies to important committees, he was able to effectively control the legislative agenda.
Clay held the speakership for more than a decade, and during that time he established his reputation as a powerful force on Capitol Hill. Legislation he favored could get a powerful boost from his support, and matters he opposed could be thwarted.
Along with other western congressmen, Clay desired a war with Britain as it was believed that the United States could actually seize Canada and open the way for more westward expansion.
Clay's faction became known as the War Hawks. Their greatest flaw was overconfidence, as the seizure of Canada proved to be an impossible task.
Clay helped provoke the War of 1812, but when the war proved costly, and essentially pointless, he became part of a delegation that negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the war.
Clay had realized, while having to travel from Kentucky to Washington over very poor roads, that the United States had to have a better transportation system if it hoped to advance as a nation.
And in the years following the War of 1812 Clay became very powerful in the U.S. Congress, and often promoted what became known as the American System.
In 1820, Clay's influence as speaker of the house helped bring about the Missouri Compromise, the first compromise that sought to settle the issue of slavery in America.
Clay's own views on slavery were complicated and seemingly contradictory. He professed to be against slavery, yet he owned slaves.
And for many years he was the leader of the American Colonization Society, an organization of prominent Americans which sought to send freed slaves to resettle in Africa. At the time the organization was considered an enlightened way to bring an eventual end to slavery in America.
Clay was often hailed for his role in trying to find compromises on the issue of slavery. But his efforts to find what he considered a moderate path to eventually eliminating slavery meant he was denounced by people on either side of the issue, from abolitionists in New England to planters in the South.
Adams then named Clay as his secretary of state. Jackson and his supporters were outraged, and charged that Adams and Clay had made a "corrupt bargain."
In 1832 Clay ran for president again, and was defeated by his perennial enemy Andrew Jackson. Clay continued to oppose Jackson from his position as a senator.
The anti-Jackson Clay campaign of 1832 was the beginning of the Whig Party in American politics. Clay sought the Whig nomination for president in 1836 and 1840, both times losing out to William Henry Harrison, who was finally elected in 1840. Harrison died after only a month in office, and was replaced by his vice president, John Tyler.
Clay was outraged by some of Tyler's actions, and resigned from the senate in 1842 and returned to Kentucky. He ran again for president in 1844, losing to James K. Polk. It appeared that he had left politics for good, but Kentucky voters sent him back to the senate in 1849.
Clay's reputation as a great legislator is based mostly on his many years in the United States Senate, where he was known for giving remarkable speeches. Near the end of his life, he was involved in putting together the Compromise of 1850, which helped hold the Union together in the face of tension over slavery.
Clay died on June 29, 1852. Church bells across the United States tolled, and the entire nation mourned. Clay had gathered countless political supporters as well as many political enemies, but Americans of his era recognized his valuable role in preserving the Union.

Q: PyQGIS: subtracting two values and append ID to list I would like to subtract two values retrieved from qgs feature iterator objects and append the value of the feature id to a list depending on a condition.
I have two layers:
roadsLayer
pathsLayer

What I have so far returns an empty list:
evenList = []
azimuthRoadsIDX = roadsLayer.fieldNameIndex('azimuth')
azimuthPathsIDX = pathsLayer.fieldNameIndex('azimuth')
roads = roadsLayer.getFeatures()
paths = pathsLayer.getFeatures()
for feat in roads:
    for feature in paths:
        pathsAzimuth = feat.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX]
        roadsAzimuth = feature.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]
        if (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimiuth == 90) or (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimth == -270):
            evenList.append(feature.id())

I also know that these values exist through manual testing and based on the fact that they are perpendicular lines.
Don't know why, but this works:
for feat in roadsLayer.getFeatures():
    roadsAzimuth = feat.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX]
    for feature in pathsLayer.getFeatures():
        pathsAzimuth = feature.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]
        if (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimiuth == 90) or (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimth == -270):
            evenList.append(feature.id())

A: The problem is that with your first solution the result of roadsLayer.getFeatures() is an iterator and not a list ( iterable ) as in for feat in roadsLayer.getFeatures() and  iterators can only be iterated over once, after which they are exhausted (look at Loop Like A Native, Understanding Python Iterables and Iterators or
Build a Basic Python Iterator).
When looping over a given iterator a second time in a for loop, no more elements are returned and that creates serious problems with nested iterators (not for single iterator)
Example with lists
a = [1,2,3,4]
b = [5,6,7,8,9]
for i in a:
   for j in b:
      print (i,j)
(1, 5) (1, 6) (1, 7) (1, 8) (1, 9) (2, 5) (2, 6) (2, 7) (2, 8) (2, 9) (3, 5) (3, 6) (3, 7) (3, 8) (3, 9) (4, 5) (4, 6) (4, 7) (4, 8) (4, 9)

With iterators
# convert the lists to iterarors
e = iter(a)
f = iter(b)
for i in e:
   for j in f:
      print (i, j),
(1, 5) (1, 6) (1, 7) (1, 8) (1, 9)

The solution ? Convert your iterator to an iterable (list)
With an example
1) Lists
for feat in azimuthRoads.getFeatures():
   roadsAzimuth = feat.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX]
   for feature in azimuthPaths.getFeatures():
        pathsAzimuth = feature.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]
        if (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 90) or (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 270):
            print feat.id(), feature.id(), pathsAzimuth, roadsAzimuth
0 2 80 170
3 0 10 100
4 6 110 200

2) Iterators:
roads = roadsLayer.getFeatures()
paths = pathsLayer.getFeatures()
for feat in roads:
    roadsAzimuth = feat.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX]
    for feature in paths:
        pathsAzimuth = feature.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]
        if (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 90) or (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 270):
           print feat.id(), feature.id(), pathsAzimuth, roadsAzimuth

0 2 80 170

3) Conversion (iterator -> iterable)
    roads = list(roadsLayer.getFeatures())
    paths = list(pathsLayer.getFeatures())
    for feat in roads:
        roadsAzimuth = feat.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX]
        for feature in paths:
            pathsAzimuth = feature.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]
            if (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 90) or (roadsAzimuth - pathsAzimuth == 270):
               print feat.id(), feature.id(), pathsAzimuth, roadsAzimuth

0 2 80 170
3 0 10 100
4 6 110 200

If you want to further simplify (only one for loop), use the itertools standard Python module
evenlist = []
for roads, paths in itertools.product(roadsLayer.getFeatures(),pathsLayer.getFeatures()):
    if (roads.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX] - paths.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX] == 90) or (roads.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX] - paths.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]== 270):
       eventList.append(feature.id())
print evenList
[2, 0, 6]

And in one line with  List Comprehensions:
evenList = [paths.id() for roads, paths in itertools.product(roadsLayer.getFeatures(),pathsLayer.getFeatures()) if (roads.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX] - paths.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX] == 90) or (roads.attributes()[azimuthRoadsIDX] - paths.attributes()[azimuthPathsIDX]== 270)]
print evenList
[2, 0, 6]

Cardiff – Airbus' A350-1000 test aircraft MSN071 has completed fuel system and engine tests in Cardiff, Wales between 3 and 4 May as part of its type certification flight test campaign.
Fuel test engineers from Airbus' site at Filton, Bristol, were on hand to support testing of the fuel systems that were designed in the UK. The objective of the test is to simulate operational conditions in hot countries and check how global fuel management system and engines behave with hot fuel (over 43°C).
The early results demonstrate that the fuel management system efficiently handles various fuel densities and temperatures, as well as fuel flow to engines and between tanks while airborne offering the best operational performance. The A350-1000 is ready for hot conditions operations from Entry Into Service later this year.
The A350-1000, just as the -900, has a simplified fuel system with only three tanks and fewer pumps and valves. This contributes to a 25% advantage in operating costs and is another example of the high level of commonality within the A350 XWB family.
Fuel systems tests are part of standard tests for all new aircraft and major modifications such as new engines. The aircraft was fuelled twice a day and then the flight test team performed a number of required engine and systems flight tests with hot fuel.
The site at Filton, Bristol is Airbus's worldwide centre of expertise for fuel systems design and testing, which is why these fuel tests for the A350-1000 - as for all Airbus aircraft such as A320neo, A380, A350-900, and A400M - have been carried out in the UK.
The A350-1000 is the latest member of the Airbus leading widebody family, together with the A330neo, offering unprecedented levels of operating efficiency, low noise and true long-range capability. As well as having a longer fuselage to accommodate 40 more passengers than the A350-900, the A350-1000 also features a modified wing trailing-edge, new six-wheel main landing gears and more powerful Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. The A350-1000 embodies all of the fuel efficiency and 'Airspace' cabin comfort of the original A350-900 – but with extra size perfectly tailored for our customers on some of their busiest long-haul routes. To date 12 customers from five continents have placed orders for a total of 211 A350-1000s.
Figure 2: CanX-7 with drag sails deployed.
CanX-7 completed a seven (7) month campaign to collect ADS-B messages from aircraft to demonstrate Canada's first ADS-B data collection from space. With that phase of the mission successfully completed, the drag sails were deployed to begin the second phase of the mission. The sequential phases were intended to emulate an operational mission followed by deorbiting. A key component in the drag sail technology demonstration was long-term stowage of the drag sail modules in space without interrupting or affecting the operational mission. "We want our drag sail technology to be compact and non-intrusive to a satellite's main mission. This will ensure wide acceptance and easy adoption by future microsatellite missions," says Zee.

What an incredible adventure! Beads of perspiration gathered on our brows and a cold sweat ran down our backs, but after several weeks of hard work, our labour finally paid off! We got there! SolarStratos flies!
On Friday, the 5th of May 2017, our test pilot Damian Hischier took command of the aircraft. The taxiing tests on the tarmac and the runway were conclusive. The Federal Office of Civil Aviation issued our 'permit to fly'. We were ready. All that remained was for SolarStratos to take off. No small feat for a prototype!
Imagine for just a moment the emotion when Damian lined up ready for take-off. The whole team was willing it to go well. The plane was lined up, there was no wind. Damian engaged the full power of the electric motors and the plane started to move forward. It gathered speed, faster and faster, (as did our heartrates!) and then all of a sudden, the wheels left the ground. The ultimate adrenalin rush was swiftly followed by a fleeting moment of disbelief before we all exploded with joy!
"We did it!" exclaimed Raphael, feeling the same sensations as seven years ago when PlanetSolar was launched in north Germany. At these moments, the emotions eclipse any of the tough times. Pride and joy merge with memories of all the sacrifices that led to this historic moment on the SolarStratos journey.
With this step completed, we can look forward to the next adventures with peace of mind. Of course, the road to flying at very high altitude is long, but we are confident of getting there. The intention is to get there step by step with confidence.
Our current objective is for Raphael and his co-pilot, Thierry Plojoux, to master SolarStratos so that we can demonstrate the aircraft's flight capabilities at a major event in Quebec in June.
We will tell you more about this soon, but in the meantime, stay up to date on our progress via our social media networks or through our monthly newsletter.

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle mission 4 (OTV-4), the Air Force's unmanned, reusable space plane, landed at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Shuttle Landing Facility May 7, 2017.
The OTV-4 conducted on-orbit experiments for 718 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent on-orbit for the OTV program to 2,085 days.
"The landing of OTV-4 marks another success for the X-37B program and the nation," said Lt. Col. Ron Fehlen, X-37B program manager. "This mission once again set an on-orbit endurance record and marks the vehicle's first landing in the state of Florida. We are incredibly pleased with the performance of the space vehicle and are excited about the data gathered to support the scientific and space communities. We are extremely proud of the dedication and hard work by the entire team."
"The hard work of the X-37B OTV team and the 45th Space Wing successfully demonstrated the flexibility and resolve necessary to continue the nation's advancement in space," said Randy Walden, the director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. "The ability to land, refurbish, and launch from the same location further enhances the OTV's ability to rapidly integrate and qualify new space technologies."
The Air Force is preparing to launch the fifth X-37B mission from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, later in 2017.
IAF Begins Brutal Rejig Of Purchase Priorities. Expect Blood.


Opting for smaller rewards immediately instead of waiting for bigger payoffs later is associated with problems such as impulsivity and addiction to food, drugs and alcohol. Now, new research indicates that such decision-making tendencies have a genetic link to brain pathways that underlie these disorders.
The researchers, at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, report their findings Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, in Hollywood, Fla.
Studying adolescent twins, the researchers found that genes linked to the brain's serotonin and kappa opioid receptors — neuronal receptors associated with mood, depression and addiction — also play a role in whether a person will choose an immediate reward over a more sizeable payoff later. The scientists also learned that adolescents become slightly more likely to accept delayed rewards as they age but that those who prefer immediate rewards tend to continue choosing quick payoffs.
Anokhin's team studied 310 adolescent identical or fraternal twin pairs and asked them questions about money. At 12 years of age, and again at age 14, they were given the choice of receiving $7 immediately or $10 in the mail two weeks later. At age 12, 35 percent decided to take $7 right away instead of more money later. That number fell to 27.5 percent when the same kids were presented the scenario at age 14.
In subsequent experiments at ages 16, 18 and 20, the same subjects were offered hypothetical monetary rewards, $80 now or $100 six months from now, for example.
Because the adolescent study subjects were twins, the researchers were able to use mathematical formulas to analyze the impact of genetic factors on their decisions. The scientists looked at several genes previously linked to impulsivity and substance use.
First, they found that serotonin genes were involved. But a closer look indicated that genes related to kappa opioid receptors on brain cells appeared to be even more crucial in making these decisions, Anokhin explained.
"The top three genes we've identified so far are linked to those receptors," he said.
Serotonin genes and kappa opioid receptor genes are connected to mood. In animal studies, both types of receptors have been linked to behaviors associated with depression and addiction, and Anokhin said the new research indicates they also appear linked to whether a person chooses immediate over delayed rewards.
When an individual doesn't want to wait for a larger reward, that could be an indication that the person is impulsive, Anokhin said. Impulsivity increases the risk for problems such as alcoholism, drug addiction and obesity.
As twins in the study have aged, Anokhin and his colleagues have begun looking for possible connections between this sort of decision-making and binge drinking, drug use and nicotine dependence.
"We need to look more closely before drawing conclusions, but we want to see what the consequences of the differences we've identified are for real-life behaviors," he said.
Funding for this research comes from the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), grant numbers DA018899 and DA027096.

Q: Persistent application for iOS I am trying to develop an application that needs to be running persistently in iOS in background mode and never gets closed even when you don't have internet access(3g or WiFi). I wonder if its possible to have it running at all times except when you choose to close it manually.

A: The simple anser: NO.
You can get an app to run in the background if it is playing audio, is a VOIP client or need to track the location.
But there is no way to make it persistent, the user can always kill the app.
And if needed to system could kill the app if to much memory is used.

A: it depends on what you mean, do you mean it keeps running even though the autolock tries to lock the iPhone after e.g. 2 minutes? Because then the answer is yes, use the idleTimerDisabled property of the [UIApplication sharedApplication]. You can disable the autolock here so your app keeps showing and the iPhone doesn't lock automatically.

Q: What I want to happen when someone doesn't log in properly I have a bootstrap/jquery/javascript app that allows the person to log in then they are taken to a table of contents page where they can click a link in order to play a video.
I have code on the table of contents page that gives them a personalized message.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        function WelcomeMsg() {
            // Retrieve the users name.
          var name = localStorage.getItem('name');

          if (name != "undefined" && name != "null") {
            document.getElementById('welcomeMessage').innerHTML = "Welcome " + name + " !" + "&nbsp";
          } else
            document.getElementById('welcomeMessage').innerHTML = "Hello!";
          }
    </script>

The code works well when someone logs in properly but if someone doesn't log in and skips directly to the tableOfContents.html page then I want the message to say simply "Hello." Unfortunately right now in that situation it says "Welcome null." Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

A: Change
name != "undefined" && name != "null"

to
name != undefined && name != null

2021 Game 8 Preview: Georgia Southern
October 29, 2021 October 29, 2021 Brady Weiler 834 Views 5 min read

This Saturday brings a chance to return to .500 for the 3-4 Georgia State Panthers and the opportunity comes in the form of an in-state rivalry showdown with the 2-5 Georgia Southern Eagles. The rivalry game is back in October for the first time since the teams first met in 2014, a forgettable 69-31 Panthers loss inside the Georgia Dome – though Southern fans may also wish to forget their overzealous post-game celebrations on that autumn afternoon, unfurling a "Paulson Stadium North" banner after the clock hit zeroes and making present-day claims of this matchup not being a rivalry rather dubious. Since that day over seven years ago, Georgia State has led the head-to-head on the football field 4-2, including winning two of the three matchups at Paulson Stadium. The Panthers will look to make it three of four road successes on Saturday when they trek down I-16 and seek a three-game winning streak to end the month of October.
Georgia State's offense has gotten back on track in its last two games, and it's in no small part due to the ground game getting going. After managing just 135 yards rushing in their loss to Appalachian State on October 2, the Panthers averaged 312 in its wins over ULM and Texas State. Part of this is QB Darren Grainger taking the reins and, no pun intended, running with it – he picked up 84 and 106 yards rushing in those two wins. But the other part of the equation is that the offensive line played two clean games and kept creating the holes for Grainger and the running backs to run through. Georgia Southern is in the top half of the Sun Belt in total rushing yards allowed, though the 4.1 yards per carry they're allowing is actually 7th in the league. Defending against the run is what the Eagles do better on that side of the ball, but it's not such a fortress of a defensive front that the Panthers are going to shy away from running the football. Destin Coates' departure into the transfer portal leaves the running back room a guy short this week, so expect to see a little more of sophomore Marcus Carroll. However, with how well Tucker Gregg and Jamyest Williams have played recently, you're still going to see heavy doses of #26 and #21 toting the rock on Saturday.
Part of why Georgia Southern rates so well in defending the run has to do with how poorly they've defended against the passing game in 2021. The Eagles have seen the fewest rushing attempts against them in the conference this season, and that's because they rank last in passing defense and passing defense efficiency. They're giving up 346.4 yards a game through the air at a completion rate of 64.2%. For that reason, Georgia State should look for passing opportunities even as they look to establish the run. Darren Grainger attempted 25 passes in each of the last two wins, completing 18 of them against ULM and 16 against Texas State for a combined 430 yards, 6 touchdowns and no interceptions. It's still been the secondary option in this run-first attack, but it's been an efficient one the last two games. Another key factor in this success again goes back to the guys up front. The Panthers OL have allowed zero sacks during this two-game winning streak, affording Grainger the time to hang in the pocket and find an open receiver. Georgia Southern's defense is tied for second in the Sun Belt with 20 sacks, so getting pressure has been one thing they've done well in 2021, but if Georgia State can win in the trenches and keep their signal-caller upright, it might be a long day for the Eagles' secondary.
As has been the case for almost all of their history, Georgia Southern's offense is predicated on running the football. However, it's been an up-and-down year for the Eagles in that regard, contributing to the 2-5 record that they hold. They've passed the 200-yard plateau in rushing yards three times in 2021, including exploding for a season-high 503 yards, 9.9 yards per carry and 7 touchdowns in a 59-33 win over Arkansas State last month. In their other four games, their highest tally is 152 against Arkansas, 75 of which came on one Justin Tomlin TD run. This isn't an offense that can turn on a dime to dropping dimes in the passing games, so if the Georgia State defensive front can be stout against the run and get the Eagles behind schedule, it might be a lot of short drives and a long night of punts for Anthony Beck. The quarterback running the show for Southern will be either Tomlin or Cam Ransom, and neither have had a stellar year passing the ball. The team is averaging just 125 yards per game passing and neither QB has a completion percentage over 50%. The Panthers defense is going to have to be alert to designed quarterback runs and scrambles out of the pocket, something that caught them out at times during last week's win over Texas State, but if they're preventing the big plays downfield and maintaining their coverage assignments in the secondary, Georgia Southern isn't suited to march down the field 10-yard completions at a time.
All of this analysis points to an advantage for the Panthers, something which is mirrored in the current Vegas line for this game. But the old cliche is true – in rivalry games like this, you can throw out the book. Georgia Southern lost their head coach this season and are staring down a December without a bowl appearance. This might be their last and best chance to put a smile on their fans' faces in 2021, and winning against the in-state foe and levelling the all-time series would at least be some small consolation to the Georgia Southern faithful after a dark season. Georgia State can't go into this game thinking it's won or thinking any weaknesses the Eagles have shown this year mean anything unless they're able to exploit them themselves. The rivalry factor can't be ignored for the Panthers, but this would complete an impressive October comeback and set them back at 4-4 for the final month of the season, ahead of tough games on the road against Louisiana and Coastal Carolina. Letting this occasion get to them might mean joining Southern on the couch this bowl season. The action can be seen on ESPN+ when it gets underway from Paulson Stadium at 6pm Eastern.

Kind of all over the place with the On Iowa Podcast today, but a lot of fun.
We took a Manfro question that wasn't painfully obscure. We talked my five biggest fears, two of which include running out of beer. We talked a lot about the Hawkeyes.
NFL stuff. Mississippi State stuff. Football stuff. Basketball stuff.
Scott doesn't want to see Iowa QB Nate Stanley in the NYC market. I don't want the Packers to draft a TE in the first round.
It was cool seeing some Desmond King love come into the podcast. Kid can play.
Scott and I flushed our ongoing tensions. We hope you're not disappointed!

Lisa was born and raised in a small town on the outskirts of Baton Rouge. She moved to Acadiana to attend college and immediately fell in love with the unique culture that abounds here. It was this rich and contagious joie de vie that seeped into her soul and never left.
After college, Lisa set her sights on a career in corporate Accounting. But as life sometimes goes, the professional pairing wasn't a perfect fit. Regardless of the dedication and hard work she extended, Lisa continuously felt as though something wasn't right, as though something pivotal was missing in her life.
And then she met Beau. Within three weeks of their meeting, Beau had proposed and decided to move to Louisiana with Lisa. Together, they discovered what each of them had been missing—each other.
These days Beau and Lisa are co-owners of C.Mac Construction. Through individualized collaboration with clients, Lisa helps design houses specific to the form and function of each particular family. Her mission is inspiring families to use creativity and originality when bringing to life the spaces they will soon call home.
A new design studio/storefront sits at the entrance to downtown Breaux Bridge. Its cheerful pink exterior and black and white striped awning welcome visitors to the historical district. Alive and vibrant with energy, it functions as joint offices for C.Mac Construction and Antiquity. Beau and Lisa hope the little building at 115 Rees Street will inspire clients, local visitors, tourists, and online shoppers to decorate their homes with the twist of creative flair that is so completely unique to South Louisiana.
Beau and Lisa's favorite saying is, "we work better together than we ever could alone." It is their heartfelt wish that you'll feel the same way about working with them as together you create the home of your life story.
Beau's higher education spans the miles between The University of Memphis and LSU. Many of his collegiate years were spent switching from one major to the next, searching for the career to tame his mustang spirit. He still speaks to his children about the day he landed in his first Construction Management class, because that was the day he discovered his calling. He encourages his wife and kids to be brave and fearless and to take chances on themselves. Beau warns it's the "not trying" they should be wary of. He swears the end result is worth every ounce of sweat it takes to chase down one's dream.
Beau is both the man and the builder he is today because of his commitments to family life, old-school quality, and solid standards of construction. He is constantly educating himself on two important philosophies—the methods of construction derived from "old-time builders" and the ever evolving standards of modern construction. He believes the key to being the best builder he can be lies in mastery of the relationship between the two concepts.
Beau loves collaborating with his wife Lisa because of her insatiable passion for quintessential Louisiana architecture. She inspires him to build houses styled to look and feel old, while still incorporating an air of freshness through modern, artistic elements. Beau appreciates the values of hard work and integrity which come from working with his hands. He's an old soul who considers himself blessed to build new houses.


Former Boca Juniors midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme has hit out at the decision to play the Copa Libertadores final second leg at Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium on Dec. 9, as it emerged that fans could pay more than €2,000 for some tickets.
The Superclasico between River Plate and Boca Juniors on Nov. 24 was postponed after River fans attacked the Boca team bus near the Monumental stadium, injuring fans and players.
A River fan was arrested after she was discovered to have taped flares to a child so they would not be detected on entry to the stadium.
"There are few things that are ours like asado [barbecue], mate [hot drink] and dulce de leche [caramel]," Riquelme told Radio Mitre.
"They have taken away our Superclasico, and it's not nice. At some point, the Superclasico will have to be played again in Argentina. What are we going to do?"
At the weekend, River rejected CONMEBOL's decision to move the second leg to the Bernabeu, with coach Marcelo Gallardo calling for the match to stay in Argentina.
"As much as I want Boca to win the title, I want the game to be played in our country," Riquelme said. "This River vs. Boca is going to be the most costly friendly game in history."
Boca, meanwhile, have put tickets for the game in Madrid on sale to their members at a cost of 3,600 Argentinian pesos (€86).
Madrid sold a reported 7,000 tickets to members, with each allowed to purchase two, in just a few hours on Sunday, with prices ranging from €80 to €250.
Some were quickly put on resale at a heavily inflated cost, with online prices ranging from €170 to almost €2,200 for VIP tickets.
AS reported that tickets sold to Madrid members were not exclusive, meaning anybody could use them.
Direct flights between Buenos Aires and Madrid are approximately €1,100 return but are likely to cost double that at short notice.
Boca arrive in Madrid on Wednesday and will train at Spain's Las Rozas headquarters, while River touch down on Thursday and will train at Madrid's Valdebebas base.

Deployment update
Ex called Thursday afternoon. Seems that last week was for medical weeding out, then he'd be drawing equipment, then this week is rifle range qualifying.
He said he's supposed to find out his assignment on Friday. No news until then. He spoke of one guy who found out his assignment at 8am and had to be on a 10am flight. I guess things can move very quickly once assignments come down.
He said the COL, the only guy who out ranks him in their billet (it's the big room with bunk beds just like you'd picture), is probably going to be medically released, so ex will have to be the leader of that group. It will be a rather thankless job that would have the potential for getting him in trouble somehow in a situation where he'd rather be invisible. They have everybody mixed up together, Enlisted, NCO, and Officer. It's strange to me to have so many ages and ranks together, so much potential for fucking up. Ex said that most are going for their second or third tour. Although he's Army, many are Navy, so that's really odd, too. It's all a mish mash mess.
He did have a potential bit of good news. Although he still believes he will not be eligible for retirement, he was told that they're handing out promotions almost like water. The personnel person he spoke to said he'd easily become a COL, that means he'd skip over LT COL, a whole rank. It wouldn't matter for the long run, but for the short run, it's hundreds more a month in his pocket. I think this relates to promotions in times of war; I know that in promotions on the battlefield, the soldier can go up two ranks.
To briefly (ha!) cover why he can't retire and, most importantly, why I won't get half of his retirement, like other personnel each Officer rank has a specific school that must be completed. For Lieutenants, it is Basic Course right at the beginning and is specific for their field. The one for Captains to attain Major is a 3 month residency away from home. The one for Majors to attain Lieutenant Colonel is rarely residency - only the hot dogs get residency as it's for a year and equals a Master's Degree; it is usually correspondence. During the window that ex should have completed this course, his job had him traveling for months at a time. He couldn't do it. He enrolled twice, but failed at coming through. At the time, he was only on yearly contracts as a Reservist, so he had no idea where his career was headed anyway. Although he took his job very seriously, I don't think he felt like he was in a position to take his career seriously anymore.
The process for being promoted is that the personnel file comes before a board. If you're not promoted, it is called being passed over. It's rare to be promoted after you've been passed over. In the past, I'd only heard of people being passed over twice, then they're gone. Recently, ex said he was passed over three times, but I chose to not quiz him on this. Before the third time (which I think was around the time we divorced, so that's why I didn't know about it), he talked to a personnel person who said he only had to be 50% finished with the correspondence course before the next board. Ex enrolled for a third time, the highest number of attempts they allow. When he looked at the materials and outline, he realized there was no way he could complete half of it before the board met again, so it was his third strike. He was forced out in 2002, which coincided with his final yearly contract as a Reservist - it was five years on one job, the most they would allow, and he couldn't find find another Reservist job to transfer to - oh, did he try. He'd maxed out a couple ways.
In the past when he volunteered to go to Iraq (say 2002-2004) and tried to get time toward retirement (he's at 14 years and would need to make 17 to get grandfathered in to attain retirement at 20 years), he was told it was illegal for him to get back in because of the educational requirement and being passed over.
Now in 2008, it obviously isn't illegal (right - ex checked all the rules and nothing had changed besides their desperation) and they will potentially promote him two ranks even, but they will withhold retirement because he didn't complete the course.
I know, it's a fucked up system. He's trying to get 50% life experience credit for the project he's worked on the last 10 years and is waiting to hear if these details can get worked out. The only other thing would be for that Army school to grant him a fourth attempt at it, although that seems pretty absurd to have to do in Iraq. Ex obviously isn't a student at heart.

That does not sound great for anyone.
Also, that is sad about his retirement. Can he write his congressman or someone else?
Especially since he is being
recalled.

Q: How deep and wide should flowing moats be in Minecraft? I'm currently flatting out a big jungle mountain top to build my castle in Minecraft.
I want to have my castle surrounded by flowing moats (that mostly plunge off big cliffs).
To prevent mobs from crossing the moats how deep and wide do I need to dig them?
Is it correct I'll need to make them shallower in the middle and deeper at each end to get the water to flow correctly?

A: You can dig them two wide and one deep, and then place water only on the inside.
    mobs here                     protected here
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| solid | solid |flowing| water | solid | solid |
| block | block | water | source| block | block |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| solid | solid | solid | solid | solid | solid |
| block | block | block | block | block | block |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

i.e. place water on the inside of the moat:

And let it flow to the outside:

Hungry zombies wanting my brains, but unable to cross moat:

My fully protected castle (unless mobs spawn inside the moat):

If the water isn't flowing, mobs will be able to cross the moat no matter how deep or wide it is. Mobs can even swim across oceans, if they need to.

A: The moat should be four blocks deep and the water should only cover 3 of those blocks like this:
X X X X X X X X X X X X X
W W W W W W W W W W W W W
W W W W W W W W W W W W W
W W W W W W W W W W W W W

The w's resemble water and the x's are an extra block. The extra block is so mobs can't jump out of the water once they are in it. The water should have a downward flow so it'll make the mobs having to constantly jump. Otherwise they drown to death.
Here is an example from minebook.com:

Notice how this person added an extra layer of wood on top of their cobblestone. In this image all the person had to do to get the moat to work was place the water bucket on the top layer of cobblestone.

A: The moat really won't do anything unless it's pushing them.  If you're hanging out within their agro-range, the mobs will swim through the water even if it's deep, long, or flowing sideways.  They may get stuck in the current, but they will keep trying until they get to you.  My advice is to make a moat where all of the water source blocks are on the inside of your island.  Basically the water will push the mobs away from the castle.  i suggest 3-wide and maybe 1-3 deep.  Experiment a little.

A: All of the given examples will work just fine. But however they are all missing one small detail. How do you expect to get across the moat? I am pretty sure your first thought will be a bridge of some kind... but this is the flaw in the moat, not all mobs will fall into the depths of your moat some will manage to get across your bridge and invade your castle. As there is no way of making a lift able Bridge, Rexdaboss from Planet Minecraft has made this:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/moat-fix/
Take a look. It is a castle entrance which shuts at night and re-opens during the day. This will stop mobs from entering your castle at night time by crossing your bridge, and also means you have a way of crossing your Moat at the same time.


Our funding for this financial year has increased, due to an increase in the value of the premium for eligible children, and because of the inclusion of children adopted from care. The total funding was £41 400.
In choosing this provision we have looked at provision that has had most impact in previous years, drawn from national research, and looked carefully at the needs of individual children.
Higher Level Teaching Assistant with specific training deployed in Year 3 to provide targeted support for phonics development of disadvantaged children.
1:1 or small group sessions with a teaching assistant to address particular gaps in learning e.g. readers with low decoding and/or comprehension skills, difficulty with numeracy (e.g. place value, applying understanding to word problems) etc.
Fully qualified Play Therapist to address emotional and/or behavioural challenges that have an impact on progress and attainment.
Emotional Literacy Support through a trained ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) to address emotional needs.
Family Support Worker/Pastoral Care Manager to work directly with families whose challenging circumstances are making (or have the potential to make) an adverse impact on their children's achievement.
The provision of 1:1 support for children who have diagnosed conditions and are undergoing the lengthy process towards accessing SEN provision through am Education Health Care Plan.
The provision of an extra teaching assistant to increase supervision of class or group learning at certain times while the class teacher directs her attention to promoting the achievement of disadvantaged pupils.
The provision of educational resources, particularly textbooks for use at home, for children who would otherwise find it hard to afford such "extras". This supports home-learning and family engagement in learning.
The provision of non-educational items that have an impact on self-esteem, pride, etc. which has a knock-on effect on attainment e.g. school uniform, school shoes.
Speech therapy where the Local Authority-funded provision is not regular or frequent enough to make an impact on children's language skills.
The funding of extra-curricular activities, particularly the Year 6 residential trip to Rhos-y-Gwaliau, which develops transferable skills and attributes (team-work, independence, resilience, confidence) that translate into improved educational outcomes.

This thesis deals with spherical microparticles trapped at liquid interfaces. It focuses on two aspects of their behavior: firstly, the effect of the curvature of a liquid interface on interparticle interactions and their organization; secondly, the mobility of particles at visco-elastic interfaces. In Chapter 2of this thesis we showed that it is possible to induce capillary interactions between spherical microparticles with homogeneous surface chemistry by tailoring the curvature of the liquid interface. If the interfacial curvature is anisotropic, the constraint of constant contact angle along the contact line can only be satisfied if the interface is deformed locally. These deformations create excess surface area, which changes when two particles approach each other. This leads to a change in the surface free energy, which manifests itself as a capillary interaction between the particles. To study the effect of curvature on the interactions between particles, we created oil-water interfaces of different shape (ellipsoid, dumbbell, torus and squares) and added spherical negatively charged particles that adsorbed at these interfaces. On all these interfaces, we observed quadrupolar capillary interactions that organized the particles into square lattices. The order of this organization increased with increasing curvature anisotropy, indicating that capillary interactions are stronger as well. By contrast, on flat interfaces or on spherical droplets with homogeneous curvature, no attractive interaction was observed and only at very high surface coverage did the particles order in a hexagonal lattice, as a result of repulsive interactions. In Chapter 3we studied the interface deformations around particles at curved interfaces and the resulting capillary interactions theoretically. We used the finite element method to solve the Young-Laplace equation for the shape of the interface around a particle and calculated the interaction potential between the particles numerically. The main finding of these calculations is that for an anisotropically curved interface, with two different local principal curvatures, the particle deforms the interface in two ways simultaneously: concave deformation along one principal direction and convex – along the other, thus creating a deformation field with quadrupolar symmetry. Two particles with such deformations interact favorably only if the overlapping deformations are similar (concave-concave, convex-convex), which occurs when they approach each other along one of the two principal directions. Since the two local principal directions are always perpendicular, particles interacting along them will tend to arrange into a square pattern. As a consequence of the quadrupolar deformation field, two particles approaching each other along a line forming 45 degrees with the principal axes will repel each other (which is confirmed by our observations), because in this case the deformation fields overlap with four different "petals" (2 pairs of concave-convex), and the excessive surface area doesn't reduce upon approaching, but increases. A system of two particles oriented at an angle with respect to the principal axis is therefore subjected to a torque rotating the axis of the system so that it gets aligned with one of the two principal directions. The torque magnitude reaches its maximum when the system's axis is at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the principal direction and decreases to 0 when the axis is aligned with one of the principal directions. The family of interaction potentials we obtained allows for calculating the minimum deviatoric curvature needed to initialize capillary interactions strong enough to compete with thermal energy, so that a stable organization can be expected. The calculated value was very close to the deviatoric curvature where ordering was observed experimentally in Chapter 2. In Chapter 4we studied the mobility of 3 mm polystyrene particles in a monolayer of 1.5 mm core-shell microparticles deposited at flat air-water interfaces; all the particles present in the system were stabilized by negative charges. In this exploratory chapter we made an attempt to characterize the mechanical properties of such monolayers by analyzing the mobility of the larger tracer particles in the monolayer. With increasing particle density of the monolayer, we observed that the mean-square displacement of the tracer particles was reduced, which can be interpreted as an increase of the viscosity of the monolayer. At very high densities the motion of the particles became subdiffusive and confined, pointing at elasticity of the monolayer. We also studied correlated movements between neighboring particles in an attempt to do two-point interfacial microrheology. A comparison between the one-point and two-point methods shows clear indications of heterogeneous dynamics of the tracer particles. Our results therefore call for a further development of two-point microrheology at interfaces. In Chapter 5we used tracer particles to study the properties of thin cross-linked actin networks deposited at the surface of oil droplets. These networks are a model system for the intracellular actin cortex. We used the generalized Stokes-Einstein relation to extract the complex frequency-dependent shear modulus of such networks from the movement of the added tracer particles. We studied the effects of the length of actin filaments and the cross-linker concentration on the mechanical properties of these layers. The advantage of this system is that actin networks are freely accessible from the water phase, and therefore can be subjected to in-situ addition of cross-linkers, enzymes or other chemicals of interest. Using this, we managed to show strong stiffening after addition of myosin motor proteins and ATP, which we ascribed to contraction of the actin-myosin network.
