Q: Programmatically determine NUMA node or PCI bus, device, function number of Direct3D9Ex device I'm looking for a way to programmatically determine which NUMA node a particular Direct3D9Ex display adapter is connected to so that I can allocate memory for host to device transfers on that node.
I can use IDirect3D9Ex::GetAdapterIdentifier() to obtain a DeviceName of the form "\.\DISPLAY1".
I can use EnumDisplayDevices() to enumerate the display devices and match this DeviceName to a DeviceKey of the form "\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video{62E184AC-2614-4AA8-844C-47454B92C142}\0000".
I can use SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo() to enumerate devices and SetupDiGetDeviceProperty() to query properties including DEVPKEY_NAME (e.g. "NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X"), DEVPKEY_Device_LocationInfo (e.g. "PCI bus 2, device 0, function 0") and DEVPKEY_Device_Numa_Node (e.g. 0) but I can't find anything to link one of these devices to either the DeviceName or DeviceKey in EnumDisplayDevices().
I can do equivalent thing is CUDA because cudaDeviceGetPCIBusId() provides the PCI bus, device and function information but I also need to do it in Direct3D9Ex (when CUDA is unavailable).
The other thing I've noticed is that in the registry under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_17C2&SUBSYS_113210DE&REV_A1" there is a key for each of my display devices and each one contains another key called "Device Parameters" with a value called "VideoID" of the form "{62E184AC-2614-4AA8-844C-47454B92C142}". Unfortunately applications are not supposed to read this part of the registry directly and I don't know how to obtain the same information through the SETUPAPI.

Jason: Are there any questions?
Jacky: Do solar panels have to be that color?
Jason: There is a technology called third-generation nano, as I've said, there are many variations of solar panels that are happening. You get solar panels that you can select the degree of transparency. So you can say you need 60%, 10%, 5%, 1% or whatever. You can generate solar and that's new technologies that are emerging on a daily basis. Facade of a building. When you're driving into Cape Town and you see all the big shiny glass on the front of buildings, that's a facade. The big shiny junk. At the end of the day, they are introducing new panel systems that are merged with those systems, which means that as sunlight hits a building, that building creates energy merely through its facade. It produces energy. And that is what it does, it allows sunlight through it.
I was called in to size up a system for the waterfront here locally. They wanted to have a dome, wanted the dome to be see-through, they were coming up with various options, but the solution for them was third generation nano ultimately. It allowed the sunlight to come through and be the sunlight they were looking for, while at the same time generating solar power. Ultimately got pushed off on costs because nobody really wants to spend money anymore. They just like to say they are green and not really be green. This is a big problem that we have with the world at large, but we will fix it.

Q: What happens if two capacitors having different charges is connected in series? What happens if two capacitors having different charges is connected in series?
I see three possible scenarios

*

*The capacitors are connected in series using wires without resistance.

*The capacitors are connected in series using a resistor.

*The capacitors are connected in series with a cell

(there may be more scenarios but this is all I can think off) Here is what I think will happen for the three cases

*

*I learnt that when the terminals of a single capacitor are connected in series using wires without resistance, the charge oscillates between the two plates in a Simple Harmonic Motion. I believe the same is going to happen here too.

*I believe in this case the charge on each plate becomes zero because I learnt that in the case of 2 plates of a single capacitor being joined, the charge on each plate becomes $0$.

*This one I got no clue. I believe the two capacitors form a single mega-capacitor with capacitance $C$. Since the potential across two plates of a single capacitor attached to a cell is equal to the emf of the cell, I am going to apply the same logic here too. [$Q=\frac {C}V$]
Also, Q is the same for each of the plate
Also, do the scenarios depend on which of the terminals we are connecting? Is connecting the positive terminals of two capacitors different from connecting the positive terminal to the negative terminal of two different capacitors? I am really hoping it isnt.

A: Resistors dissipate energy but not charge.  If two charged plates are connected together, the total charge on the two does not change.  If the wires (and plates) have no resistance, then connecting two charged capacitors can result in LC oscillations (depending on voltages and polarities).  If two charged capacitors are connected together (with resistance) they will come to the same voltage.  If they are connected in series to a cell, charge can flow from the terminals of the cell until the sum of the two voltages is equal to that of the cell; but the sum of the charges on the two connected plates must remain the same.

A: I will deal with case 1 after dealing with cases 2 and 3.
Cases 2 and 3 are essentially the same with case 2 having a voltage source with no output.
I think that the easiest way to illustrate what might happen is to do a numerical example which is shown below.

The initial state was two capacitors, $4\,\rm F$ with charge $8\,\rm C$ and $2\,\rm F$ with charge $4\,\rm C$, connected in a circuit as shown below.
In the final state the charges of the capacitors are $Q$ and $q$.
Charge conservation dictates that $+8 +(-4) = 4 = -Q +q$ and Kirchhoff's voltage law gives $E = \dfrac Q 4 +\dfrac q2$.
Solving for $Q$ and $q$ for case 2, $E = 0\,\rm V$, the final state is as follows,

For case 3 with $E = 6\,\rm V$ the final state is as follows,

If you work out the energies stored in case 2  at the start and at the end you will find that there is a decrease in energy stored.
This is because to get from the initial to the final state some charge must have moved and if it moves through a resistor some of the stored energy is dissipated as heat.
There is therefore a problem if $R=0$ (case 1) as the circuit has no was of dissipating the energy.
A way forward is to look at what happens if $R\to 0$.
In all if the three cases it is in fact an capacitor, resistor and inductor (look at the loop in the diagram) series circuit but for most examples the inductance of the circuit is ignored and the circuit can be considered as heavily damped so the transition from initial state to final state follows an exponential function; remember what happens with a discharging $CR$ circuit.
If $R$ becomes low enough the circuit is now under-damped and the passage from the initial to the final state is via a decaying sinusoidal (ie oscillating) function with the rate of decay decreasing as the resistance in the circuit is decreased.  So for no resistance in the circuit one gets non decaying oscillatory behaviour.
That is not the end of the story because unbound accelerating charges emit electromagnetic radiation and when the behaviour is oscillatory the system loses energy vis the emission of electromagnetic radiation.
Further information about this can be gained by reading Kirk T. McDonald's paper A Capacitor Paradox.

In fact, many times, our life is like a smooth river, nothing exciting, quietly.Unhappy, unhappy wealth, unhappy love life, but there are too many disappointments, right, unhappy dreams.We too hard on yourself, we want to be Exalted, we want to be Li Ka-shing, we want to be Andy, we have to homecoming, we want to get rich.Unfortunately, everything Shun Yi too little, hard in pursuit, finally come to nothing.His suffering, hurt others, abandoned the time, missed the fleeting poetry rain. Seen such a drama, the title is called "Double Life of Veronique", the story is very interesting, watching the first episode never want to fall.Su Qi play a character, a character is very sad.He liked to read ARBOR from college, and because of this love, supporting her through the seasons.She stood quietly watching favorite ARBOR play basketball, and to action, others the courage to express their love.She moved forward with the truth ARBOR, then They went in together, handle spring and autumn, were listening to the wind and rain.Unfortunately, the world has already arranged everything, love deeply, they want to occupy the other for himself.ARBOR noticed until one day Yan Song, and love a long time, Song started the pursuit, to protect her, give her happiness, her warm thanks.The two gradually fall in love, jealousy envy hate Su Qi, Yan Song and multiple blows, regard her as a thorn in the flesh, teased her, throwing her water, she repeatedly embarrassment, fled, but this time, Lin Joe was more disgusted Su Qi, anxious to erase from her own world. Fate who can not choose.Who knows what will happen tomorrow, who predict a person's life in the end how long.One day, sick ARBOR, or advanced disease, in critical condition.The Su Qi constant companion, Songcha meal, leave overnight.But she still did not forget to make things difficult Yan Song, they think of love ARBOR, to pay so much, can not wait to give him everything, but it seems that only ARBOR heart Yan Song.He was sad, he wept silently, no one knows her heartache.She cried, running, no comfort, no one loved.In people's hearts, she is a bad person, but no one knows the love of her pay, her bitter experience, she puzzled sorrow. ARBOR her and love, so difficult.Miss each other non-stop, non-stop torture each other, make each other uncomfortable.She believes that the whole world are against her, even friends are not, there is a total Ouyang vine around her, but she just wanted to use Bale.Only hate in her heart, she hated everything, I could not understand everything.So she fell in Canmeng, no longer out of.Her love for the ARBOR, love so deep, so selfless, but not drip recognition.In fact, she is thinking too much, ARBOR in the world, the greatest regret is that Su Qi, loved her wayward, her strong love, love her dedication, her love never betray.ARBOR's death, her despair, walking in the wind haggard, lonely and sad. When ARBOR died, she took a bunch of flowers, distraught, had everything as Canmeng like across, people love, leave early, and not a word, a smile.More beautiful, more call, not lead back to that once beautiful.ARBOR only when the last breath, imagine that Yan Song, rather than she, in fact, is to not let her sad, because ARBOR greatest regret is that Su Qi.The world's most sad is that find their loved ones in love with someone else; saddest thing is, do not see the front is a touch in the end of the pit, while they continue to adhere to Wang Libian jump. When she saw left her ARBOR last letter, she still can not put down the hate, but by polyethylene, thinking about how calculating others.She was ARBOR hurts the most people, most people can not let go.LIN Qiao to die than see her, because I felt sorry for her.So many experiences together, still can not walk into each other's heart.We have love each other, but can not get down to seriously talk.They do not know how to face each other each other, together, and finally just a dream, leaving only bring sadness, together, will only speechless. So much betrayal world, sometimes we really do not know how to forgive each other.Always wanted to find out the distance between us, but the mundane world three thousand, seek ends of the earth, never find an answer to.How many times luxury in a loved one around, even spent a moment, even a little bit of conversation, a little smile will do.However, sometimes the most simple desire not get.Blaming Heaven complain to, can do nothing, leaving behind only sad. ARBOR eventually want to see Su Qi.Because meet each other, it will only make her more heartbreak.All vows, all the promises, hidden in hand into a fire, burning heart, every corner you can not see.ARBOR but love for her, not less than Yan Song, after his death, the hospital's own shares are reserved for Su Qi.If you do not like her, all you need?Why not be left to other people, maybe in the heart ARBOR, already her as a family, are reluctant to abandon the kind of family life. There are people who hate to be the most pathetic, most poor.Su Qi look down on others, she felt, I can not even think about others get.Impose my pain has on others, and finally his suffering, harm others.I think she is the fate of inequality, everyone has the right to the pursuit of love, and she ultimately did not catch their loved one, a loved one may have their own shadow.Between people just feel sorry for the one side, there is a distance between them.LIN Qiao always feel sorry for Su Qi, Qi Su do more, and more ARBOR guilt, the more we go farther and farther hearts to each other. Red long, we are too naive, thinking that giving love, that there will be return.But people forget the cruelty, the people of complicated time, and love and be loved, who also do not understand.How many people, and so his life, he did not find a love, how much love is in sight, and we do not catch.No amount of beauty, laughter; no amount of vision, stay together for life; no amount of prayer, Iraqis are not old.But, eventually turned into a passer-by, you have your way, I have my pursuit.Force will only damage the health, it is wise to lay down. Canmeng although disabled, but just a dream, wake up when we had to live, had to have a good after a minute, take a good mountain water.Everything in the past like clouds, the wind passed away all sadness.We care, the time will be forgotten, and we can not let go, time is not inclusive.Smile, a kind of courage; put down, is a mind; wait, no long term; to survive, but it should always be strong. As we sat in the window, sipping a cup of tea, holding a pen Su.Writing one word, one begins counting the flow of time.Forget the past, has been concerned about, fleeting years, the need to have a smile face.More distress, the need to have to take a good late years; no amount of Youyuan, but did not forget a warm day and night.Canmeng not disabled, just not perfect Bale.Cherish this world, fleeting smile.Spring sunshine pregnant, walked quietly each spring and summer, stepped on each autumn and winter, day and night do not ask, do not ask once, would not better.

How Packaging Influences Consumer Behavior to Generate More ROI
by Hiren Panchal | 26th Feb, 2019 in Buzz
They say the first impression is often the last impression. This is certainly true with product packaging. You cannot judge of the exact quality of the contents from its packaging but there is no denying that you can still get a fairly good idea of it. That's what makes it a very powerful branding tool. Attractive packaging design will draw consumer's interest at the Point of Sale (POS) and he/she will feel inspired to buy it.
The Color Connection
#Yojoki, a Japanese tea company is a fitting case in point. Their teabags come packed in an intricately-painted paper box, which is very Zen-like. The floral patterns are very minimalistic, like the Japanese Haikus and immediately evoke feelings of relaxation.
The whole concept looks elegant, and is not just a wrap but a value-add to the brand perception of a hi-end tea.
The same effect can be seen in the packaging of premium bean-to-bar chocolate brand #ManosdeCacao. Mexico-based agency Anagrama combined handmade textures with a vibrant colour palette and clean layouts to give a sophisticated look and feel to the brand, besides "evoking an appropriately organic undertone," observes Jane Porter, a guest writer for Entrepreneur.

"Small companies may lack the marketing dollars and visibility of larger brands, but they can still stand out on the shelf by thinking outside the box—literally," she says.
An important aspect to remember is that the elements of brand identity, graphics and color palette should remain uniform and consistent for strong recall. For instance, the moment you spot a red with a white swirl, you know its Coca Cola. Likewise, colour purple is instantly associated with Brand Cadbury. These brand-specific elements are what differentiate one product from another.
They all convey a subliminal message that is instantly recognizable for the target customer. Indeed, the use of a particular colour, should be driven by a marketing logic. For instance, bright colors attract children and neutral shades draw luxury buyers. Colour green or blue are a hot favorite with the health and wellness industry.
#FatBastard doesn't really come across as the name of a fancy French wine. Yet it was strategically used with a cool packaging design to appear provocative to the American consumer and the gambit paid off with the result that today it captures 10 percent of the French wine market in the U.S.

Likewise music company Sub Pop Records got Jonatha n Daly, a fine artist to create an album cover for comedian Eugene Mirman that simply stood out in the clutter, which broke all records and became sort of embolic for the Indie music market.
Packaging in fact is the easiest way to stand out in a crowd, before making a differentiated offering, launching a new product or making a different kind of a marketing stir. It creates an instance bond with the consumer and clearly communicates the brand positioning. Done consistently, it establishes the identity of an iconic brand.
"Positioning is primarily about being able to maintain a consistent perception and image for the brand in the hearts and minds of the consumer," writes a blogger for Johns Byrne, an agency that specializes in packaging design.
Packaging Clever Messaging
You may wonder what does a toothpaste brand have to do a pizza brand? Advertising Agency Y&R once designed Colgate-branded boxes for late night pizza deliveries for Colgate Max Night to remind customers to brush their teeth after tucking in the pizza. Did the message go home? It sure did.
Image Source: Adsoftheworld.com
Conveying Product Process
Packaging can also be used to convey a very quality-conscious process used in making an end product. A third-generation family enterprise Hardy specializes in smoked salmon. Their packaging is designed to convey how the smoking process is slow and deliberate. It cannot be rushed, or the product won't taste the same. The design conveys how from salting to smoking, each stage of the process is executed to perfection, leading to the idea of Hardy 'Smoked Masterpieces' as the brand's tagline.
Image Source: Theinspirationgrid.com
Perceived Value of the product
Pricing can also be deftly used to convey the transactional value of a product, whether its premium or mass. "Your design should be aligned with your price positioning: it should tell the consumer what the product is worth," says a blogger for Ninja outreach, citing the case of an expensive wine bottle, where price tagging is all that one has to do to convey brand premium-ness, essentially because "Perceived value is what consumers think the product is worth to them."
As a concept 'perceived value' has a lot of meaning in the luxury selling, which is all about making the customer feel 'rich' and good about their purchases, and stir up a huge "emotional surplus" in them, after the purchase is made.
Conveying Excitement
According to a report conducted by the American Psychological Association, a first impression is formed within 39 milliseconds of a brand encounter. This could be the reason why one of the world's best brands, .#Apple works so hard on developing striking "unboxing" experiences, say earmarking a space at the physical store where customers can rejoice in the unwrapping of a newly-bought product. Imagine one of them feeling so excited as to later post a YouTube video on the "unboxing" experience. Believe it or not, the frequency of posting such videos, with "unboxing" in their titles has gone up by almost 871% in recent years.
Just type in "iPhone unboxing," and up will get at least a half million hits!
Finally, let's not forget that packaging is all about working the consumer cognitives through design. The more you understand your consumer, the better your packaging will be.


Become Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts in this fancy Professor McGonagall Hat. Perfect for any Harry Potter costume, this hat features two brims with a small lower brim slipping on around the head and the larger wire-lined brim that resembles a witch's hat. The black hat is made from a velvet material and has a size adjuster on the inside to customize the fit. A brown feather tucked into a black ribbon decorate the outside. Perfect for teaching transfiguration or acting as Hogwarts Headmistress.

A note on Philadelphia
Central DC is a pristine place, populated with preppy 20 and 30 somethings operating the invisible levers of government. Arriving in Philly feels comparatively like a real town, dirty and loud. I'm getting fairly unimpressed looks when Philadelphians insist I try a "cheese steak" (whatever that is) and a decline due to my vegetarianism. It's also very boozy. Eating breakfast at 10am I suddenly realise everyone else in the large restaurant in which I found myself had either a large beer or a full glass of wine. And who am I to resist? I punch down breakfast and head off to…
The Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia
The Mütter is confronting as all hell to visit early on a Sunday morning, thank god for the mimosa. Founded in 1863 it is a collection of curiosities, medical equipment, bones, preserved body parts (including deformed foetuses) and lots of creepily realistic wax models. The collection was originally assembled by surgeon Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter to further surgical education but now largely sees throngs of tourists gasping at all the things in jars. The museum itself moved into its current digs in 1909 and provided the College of Physicians of Philadelphia a space to conduct meetings, advocate for their industry and keep the collection including a library. Access on my visit was granted via a surly Philadelphian chap on the front desk who grumpily informed me that I'd have to use a locker for my backpack. Inside the beautiful old building you're confronted by a grand staircase and an antechamber with relics relevant to the time of founding this incarnation of the museum.
The Mütter Museum – interior (click to explore)
The collection itself is via a small doorway to the left of the staircase where you are immediately confronted by The Soap Lady – a naturally embalmed female corpse whose body had been preserved by basically turning into a brown, soapy substance due to the rare climactic conditions of her burial. Further in a few deformities in formaldehyde give a hint of what is tome come. Probably most impressive in the collection is a huge wall of human skulls collected by the Mütter over the years. Each is from a different, largely European location and are a combination of donated victims of illness (largely tuberculosis), hanged criminals or suicides. Small panels give the name of the individual, their location and type of death. Most are from the past two hundred years with rare exceptions including an ancient Egyptian skull from the Valley of the Kings – significantly more brown than the rest. One label that just pronounces "cretin" shows us how far we've come.
Further into the collection is a room full of preserved foetuses, skeletons of conjoined twins and other birth defects. These are pretty confronting even for me but the young kid who was freaking out, only to be reassured that it was "all okay" perhaps was a little young for such horrors? Following this was a temporary exhibition dedicated to medicine and surgery in the American Civil War and was surprisingly informative albeit quite graphic as is the house style.
Below is the Mütter Museum Giant, the skeleton of an unnamed chap from Kentucky whose identity was withdrawn on its donation to the collection. At seven feet and six inches it's the second largest human giant skeleton on exhibit worldwide and is really cool. Right next to the giant is the megacolon, an indescribably huge human colon which was removed from a 20 year old known as "Balloon Man". Today we know this condition as Hirschsprung's disease – words can't do it justice, just follow the link.
There are countless objects in this blessedly old-school museum and is an essential during a visit to Philly.
Admission: 18 clams.
Digital engagement: Blessedly zip for such a historical institution except a kind of cool demonstration in the American Civil War exhibition. A touch panel outside of a small room informs you when it's your turn. Once someone exits, it asks you to enter you skin tone and height. Once inside you place your feet on two footprints on the ground which makes your right arm disappear behind a screen. In front of you is a mirror. Text appears in the top of the mirror telling you about the several awful stages one would have gone through after loosing an arm in the civil war. An animated arm appears where your right arm should be and takes you through all the stages of gangrene, amputation, healing and phantom limb. Works a treat.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art
The PMA is a massive, neoclassical building opened to the public in 1876 and has a mind numbingly huge collection of architectural and sculptural objects and visual art from the Western and Asian world from the third millennium BCE right up to the present. The PMA was made famous in popular culture for the huge sandstone staircase leading to the gallery that Rocky jogged up and waved both fists in the air. It's nice that the museum irreverently goes out to this with a large bronze statue of Sly Stalone at the base of the steps that had a huge queue of visitors for a photo opp. Even the PMA's logo is a nod to this as the stairs feature heavily.
One of the biggest reason I wanted to come here was the very targeted collection of Marcel Duchamp works. To get there, you must first navigate the visitor queues and massive entry hallway then through the rabbit warren that is the northern wing of the gallery. This part of the building has an impressive collection of 20th century art including many Jasper Johns, Kandinsky, de Kooning, Miro and Duchamp works. The bulk of Duchamp's work at the PMA takes over a large room including a 1950 "replica" of his infamous Fountain (I put replica in inverted commas as Duchamp's reproductions were self made and as much art works as the originals).
The Duchamp exhibit (click to explore)
The collection also includes The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass), a huge glazed panel that includes Duchamp's signature machine/insect hybrids in oil, varnish and lead foil. The work was shattered by removalists after an exhibition in Brooklyn in 1926 then painstakingly pieced back together by Duchamp who revelled in this next chapter in the life of a living artwork. In a small room off of Duchamp's main hall can be found his final piece Étant Donnés – a cunning trick involving a false wall with a peep hole. When you look through a naked woman is revealed, spread eagled in a natural setting and holding up a lamp. Duchamp created the work leading up to his death and supplied a manual for its installation at the PMA to occur only once he had kicked the bucket.
Étant Donnés
Upstairs is room upon room of antiquities and reconstructed interiors of rooms purchased and literally transported to Philadelphia from the old world. This is genuinely massive and slightly hard going as opulent room leads into yet again another opulent room. What is truly spectacular in the PMA's collection, though is their many reconstructed building interiors from Asia and the Middle East including a whole Japanese tea house complex and several Buddhist temples. The provenance of such items would have been fascinating given their audacity.
Interestingly, after gaining admission, front of house staff supply visitors with a small, wearable metal clip thingy, both at the PMA and the Mütter. The idea here is that you wear it on your person and it his hence evident that you have forked out the cash to get in. This worked fine at the Mütter however at the PMA mine refused to stay on which got me in trouble with security a couple of times. I suddenly realised, though that I was not the only one as I constantly heard the sound of tiny bits of metal falling on the marble floor for the duration of my visit.
Said clippy thingies.
The whole site is undergoing a massive extension under the design auspices of Frank Gehry (because if you're gonna do it, you've gotta get in Gehry). The whole thing will be terrifyingly huge after this is complete and will put vast amounts of the collection on permanent display.
Admission: $20 (I'm going broke). However, first Sunday of the month and every Wednesday after 5pm you can pay what you want. Damn.
Digital engagement: Extensive website that allows you to search the collection in earnest. Three apps available including one baffling "Philadelphia Museum of Art ID audio guide" (paid – goodness gracious!) which allegedly allows visitors to scan an artwork with their phone's camera to reveal additional audio information. After crashing several times I eventually unsuccessfully scanned a couple of artworks. I then discovered scannable artworks are only from a particular list. Unfortunately these were not presented on a map but I perused the list and remembered a Van Gogh I had walked past then headed to to (slightly embarrassingly) scan it with my phone. Again, no dice. Not brilliant.

Exotic creatures found at deep-sea vent in Indian ocean
Posted: 01/12/2012 in all marine news
Hydro International –
In the first ever expedition to explore and take samples from the 'Dragon Vent' in the south-west Indian Ocean, remotely operated submarines spotted yeti crabs, sea cucumbers and snails living around the boiling column of mineral-rich water that spews out of the seafloor.
These discoveries were made by scientists from the University of Southampton, UK. Marine biologist Dr Jon Copley said his team found animals that had not been seen in neighbouring parts of the oceans.
His team has found yeti crabs, normally living in the Pacific and for the first time observed in the Indian Ocean but different as they have short arms and the undersides are covered in bristles.
They also found sea cucumbers, vent shrimps and scaly-foot snails. Sea cucumbers have previously only been seen at deep-sea vents in the eastern Pacific.
Deep-sea vents, also known as hydrothermal vents, are springs of superheated water that are powered by underwater volcanoes.
They erupt from the sea bed and are usually found a few miles under the sea surface.
The scalding temperatures and rich mineral content of the water give rise to vast rocky chimneys, which have been found to support a wide variety of life forms.
The survey was part of a larger expedition to study underwater mountains aboard the RRS James Cook, which sailed from Cape Town on 7th November 2011 and returned to South Africa on 21 December 2011.
The exploration of the Dragon Vent took place in an intense three-day burst in the middle of the trip.
National Geographic Explorer navigates worldwide with Adveto
Expedition ship National Geographic Explorer will be, after an extensive test and evaluation programme, the first Adveto ECDIS-equipped vessel sailing on all waters around the world including the demanding waters of the Arctic and the Antarctic.
This order is a significant example from the ongoing international upgrading programme to make ships compliant with the IMO resolution stating that "all passenger ships in international traffic and over 500 tons should be fitted with a type-approved ECDIS by latest 2014".
Distributor GPS Marinkonsult has contributed to securing the order. ECDIS-4000 from Adveto has features like multi routes, advanced predictors, alternative night presentation and download of PRIMAR charts and chart updates over the innternet directly into the ECDIS.
Whalers caught In protected world heritage area
gCaptain –
With Christmas Island battling a spill of phosphate and fuel oil making national headlines some of the leading environmentalists are equally disturbed by illegal fishing in the Australia's protected marine World Heritage Areas.
In a recent call to action the head of the Australian Greens party, Senator Bob Brown, is leading a twitter campaign against the Japanese whaling ship Yushin Maru III which he claims is now inside Australian territorial waters and the World Heritage area of the subantarctic Macquarie Island.
According to Senator Bob Brown, the activist group Sea Shepherd has informed him that it's vessel Bob Barker has followed the Japanese harpoon ship into the area between Macquarie Island proper and its off offshore islets, an area which is 4 to 6 miles inside Australia's territorial waters.
Macquarie Island, famous for its huge penguin and seal colonies, is part of Tasmania and was declared a World Heritage area 20 years ago.
GHOST – Small craft "could help keep Hormuz open"
Mike Schuler –
The number of threats posing significant risks to maritime security these days seems to be never ending, always changing, and rapidly growing.
Pirates, rogue governments, terrorism; all seem to be organizing an accelerating – and rather freighting – rate.
So what can we do? Have the world navies place destroyers in every vital waterway, every ocean or body of water in the world? It would be nice, depending on who you talk to, but unrealistic.
The issue has led a number of private companies come up with their own solutions.
Some have been good, a lot have been bad, and many have been downright ridiculous. Now enter GHOST.
Developed by the privately held Juliet Marine Systems, a technology systems company based in Portsmouth, NH, the company believes they have the solution for many of the increasing threats to maritime security.
Described as an attack helicopter on water, GHOST is a high-speed attack craft specifically designed to protect vital waterways like the Straits of Hormuz and counter threats such as piracy.
With swarm attacks and close-to-shore operation in mind, the GHOST was designed with speed, maneuverability, endurance and the ability to carry a hefty payload.
JMS says that, deployed, GHOST would have the capability to conduct long duration patrols and missions, adding that two squadrons of GHOSTs operating from Bahrain or Djibouti could effectively provide protection to destroyers or cruisers operating within the region.
Diver finds woman's class ring lost in 1930s, returns it to her grandson
Martin E. Comas –
Louise Hearst Entzminger probably figured her college class ring was gone for good after it fell to the bottom of a popular swimming hole near Longwood in the 1930s.
But now, almost 37 years after her death, Entzminger's gold ring — with a Mississippi Woman's College emblem on the outside and her maiden name inscribed on the inside — is in the hands of her 75-year-old grandson, thanks to the efforts of a determined scuba diver.
"It's a pretty amazing set of circumstances," said grandson John Entzminger of Oakton, Va. "I had absolutely no idea that my grandmother lost it."
Just as amazed is Reed Banjanin, who discovered the ring last summer while diving in the spring where she apparently lost it. He later tracked down her grandson.
"I've been diving for almost 20 years," Banjanin, 38, said, "and this is definitely the coolest thing I've ever found." Banjanin lives in The Springs, which in the '30s was known as Sanlando Springs, a popular spot for bathers in what was then a rural area. Today,
The Springs is a gated subdivision off busy State Road 434, and the swimming area is used only by residents and guests.
Last July, Banjanin was swimming about 25 feet below the surface in The Springs when his metal detector began chirping near an underwater cave.
The AT&T electronics technician with an easygoing manner frequently scouts local springs and caves in search of hidden treasures.
Antarctic fishing vessel catches fire killing 3 crew, injuring others
A Korean fishing caught fire early Wednesday morning in the Ross Sea, approximately 2,000 nautical miles southeast of New Zealand, killing three crew members and injuring several others. The RCCNZ says that as many as 40 crew members were onboard when it caught fire.
The vessel, the 51 meter Jeong Woo 2, sent out a distress call in the early hours of Wednesday morning which was picked up by another Korean fishing vessel in the area and then relayed to officials from the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ).
A number of vessels responded to the call and two Korean fishing vessels, the Jeong Woo 3 and Hong Jin 707, were able to reach the Jeong Woo 2 and evacuate the crew from the burning vessel. The fire reportedly tore through the accomadation block of the Jeong Woo 2.
Three crew members were reported missing and presumed dead.
Two are understood to have extensive burn injuries and a another five crew have less serious burns, RCCNZ says.
The RCCNZ later confirmed that injured crew from the burning vessel were been transferred to the United States research vessel Nathaniel B Palmer, which has medical staff and facilities on board.
The vessel is now sailing to McMurdo Base about 600 kilometers southwest of the burning vessels position.
The trip is expected to take between 24 and 30 hours, depending on ice and weather conditions.
Containers a hazard after 'Rena' breaks in two
Hayley Hannan –
Up to 300 containers from the stricken ship Rena have been washed overboard and most are likely to sink, authorities say.
At a press conference held in Tauranga a spokeswoman from environmental cleanup specialist Braemar Howells, Claudine Sharpe, said "200 to 300 containers" had been washed overboard after the ship was pounded by heavy swells up to six metres last night.
The ship's stern is now listing at 23 degrees to starboard while the bow section remains firmly wedged on Astrolabe Reef, which it crashed into on October 5.
This morning Maritime New Zealand officials flew over the ship which was surrounded by murky waters as tonnes of milk powder from one of the containers spilled out.
Of the missing containers, Ms Sharpe said 30 had been identified and 15 of those tagged and corralled in an offshore area. "At this stage we have lost quite a lot of containers," she said.
"We are looking at a round figure of around 200 to 300 containers. Of those, 20 per cent will float – the remainder will sink."
Ms Sharpe said the top most containers had been tagged with transponders and she was confident these would be recovered. She said resources were in place if anything comes ashore.
"We will deal with it, but as I said our main priority is to stop it coming ashore if we can."
Maritime New Zealand salvage unit manager Dave Billington said reports of containers being lost overboard started coming through last night about 8pm.


There's plenty of reasons to love Alta in the winter — obviously, it's a ski-lovers paradise. But Alta's wonders don't stop when summertime starts. The region comes alive with natural beauty — and summer activities and events (like our annual Lawn Games) make sure there's something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, for the first time in Alta's 80-year history, you can now enjoy lift-served hiking. Talk about a view! Here's a look at a few of our "staff favorites" for enjoying the Alta summer.
1. Mountain Biking at Snowbird: Snowbird Resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon offers two single-track loops. Or, you can ride the gravel tram road to the top of the mountain for a climbing challenge. Beginner and intermediate riders will like the Easy Loop. Whether you're an expert rider, beginner or love a great climbing challenge, there's a trail for every skill level. Don't forget to slow down and enjoy the view!
2. Wasatch Wildflower Festival: The Wasatch Wildflower Festival is a four-day event hosted at the four Cottonwood Canyon Ski Areas to celebrate the beauty and diversity of wildflowers. Guided walks and activities are designed to reinforce careful stewardship and awareness of the ecology of the watershed environment. The festival comes to Alta on Saturday, July 28, where both children and adults can enjoy guided walks and live music in the great outdoors.
3. Yoga in the Mountains: Breathe in the beauty, breathe out your worries. This one-hour yoga class encourages a breath-to-movement flow accompanied by meditative poses that stretch and strengthen — uniting mind, body and spirit. Held Mondays at Goldminer's Daughter Lodge, it's a beautiful way to commune with nature … and let it all go.
4. Camping in the Albion Basin: Albion Basin Campground, just 15 miles from Sandy, Utah, is set among shady white pines and aspens in its beautiful namesake basin in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The basin is renowned for its vivid summer wildflowers and tranquil surroundings — moose and deer frequent the basin, and mountain goats can often be seen on the steep face of Devils Castle, just south of the basin's campground. Pitch a tent, go for a hike and revel in the ultimate natural escape.
5. Fishing in the Cottonwood Canyons: The Wasatch Front is a mecca for hiking trails in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons. And while taking in the natural splendor of a sea of wildflowers is a draw, locals like to shake things up and spend the day fishing the many lakes found in the area. In addition to reeling in a great catch (Silver Lake, for example, is regular stocked with brook trout and rainbow trout), two of the most popular wildlife attractions for hikers and anglers are the occasional Shiras moose and the many mountain bird species found along the trails.

Ashley Alder has been re-appointed as the SFC's CEO for another three-year term, effective from 1 October, according to a statement from the regulator. Alder originally planned to step down when his current term ends, Tim Lui, SFC's chairman, noted in the statement. However, Alder reconsidered and decided to stay with the regulator. "After a careful re-assessment of the circumstances now facing Hong Kong and global economies and financial markets, and having discussed the situation with the government, I have accepted an invitation to remain at the helm of the SFC at a time when regulatory clarity is more important than ever to ensure that the financial system functions reliably and with integrity throughout a period of exceptional stress," Alder said…

Appleton's Dignity and Respect Campaign
by: Jacqui Lange
Posted: Feb 6, 2019 / 12:28 AM CST / Updated: Feb 6, 2019 / 04:02 PM CST
In the city of Appleton, a movement is underway.
"This is about us being intentional about who we want to be as a community," says Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna.
A campaign aimed at lifting everyone up.
"We are now building a critical mass of individuals."
By ensuring all who live in this community are treated with dignity and respect/
"To me, that's exciting, especially in today's world where we are bombarded with examples of that not happening."
One year ago, Appleton became the first city in the state to launch the dignity and respect campaign, in part, a response to a growing political divide along with comments from the city's minority communities that at times they didn't feel very welcome.
"Not what a mayor wants to hear, and that always bothered me."
Looking to build cultural awareness and find common ground, the city's Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator has spent the last year holding community listening sessions, teaching the public and local businesses 30 tips and skills to show people dignity and respect.
"Giving people the how is why I think this campaign has been so wildly successful, because there are very, very specific things people can do," says Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator Karen Nelson.
Actions like smile, say hello and thank you, find common ground, communicate respectfully, build trust, and lend a helping hand.
"I think people are desperate to have something that they can be part of, that really changes the type of discourse we are having in public with each other," says Dr. Kimberly Barrett. Dr. Barrett is the Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion at Lawrence University.
Mayor Hanna adds, "The more we do this and are intentional about it, the more it becomes part of our culture here."
Since the campaign began, over 2,200 people have taken the dignity and respect pledge.
"I will do my part in making the city of Appleton a better place by treating everyone with dignity and respect."
And Mayor Hanna says he's fully committed to keep the momentum going.
"We shouldn't work at looking for best practices. We need to spend time being the best practice."
As the campaign enters its second year, trying to make the world a better place for all.

First Ever African American Owned Brewery Once Stood in Oshkosh
by Justin Razavi / Feb 6, 2019
Breweries and beer are an important component of Northeast Wisconsin's culture and its history, and part of that history includes being the location of the nation's first ever African-American owned brewery - The Peoples Brewing Company in Oshkosh.
The Peoples Brewing Company initially opened in Oshkosh in 1913, producing German-style lager there for decades, before being purchased in 1970 by a group of Milwaukee businessmen, led by Theodore Mack.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 6 Release Date and Synopsis
FX's original comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back for a 6th season, and that can only mean more antics from everyone's favorite bar owners! Step into Paddy's Pub with Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) — all friends working in harmony for a common cause: themselves. Last season saw the gang dabble in failed interventions, the poisoning of frat kids, footwear for kittens, and an uncensored Christmas special with a gruesomely-violent claymation sequence. This year the stakes are higher, and so is the definition as we've made the switch to HD! Watch them tackle gay marriage, fight the class war, battle the high seas on a houseboat, bash rats, get repulsed by the McPoyles, deal with a very mysterious pregnancy and much more that you'll simply have to tune in to see.

I just hope this year is some sort of lapse and that the cast was concentrating more on Kaitlin's health during the pregnancy or some other temporary circumstance that will be fixed for the next season. The clever satire and good writing has given way to crude humor that can be seen everywhere else.

Ariana Grande appears to be taking care of her late ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's dog, Myron.
The 'No Tears Left To Cry' hitmaker shared a video of the Pit Bull cross, which the rapper - who died of an apparent overdose on September 7 at the age of 26 - adopted while he was still with the pop star last year, licking her face on her Instagram profile on Monday.
Ariana - who is now engaged to comedian Pete Davidson - captioned the photo: "all the kisses. happy fall. (sic)"
The 25-year-old singer already has nine rescue dogs - Fawkes, Pignoli, Ophelia, Coco, Sirius, Cinnamon, Strauss, Lafayette and Toulouse - so it wouldn't surprise fans if she did become Myron's full-time owner.
The video post came after Ariana reassured her fans that "everything will be okay".
The 'God Is A Woman' hitmaker posted a message of positivity to her millions of Twitter followers, just days after she missed the recent Emmy Awards.
The 'Dangerous Woman' singer previously revealed she missed the ceremony to "heal and mend".
Following the death of Mac and the terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester, North West England, in May 2017, her representative said: "Contrary to reports, Ariana will not be attending the Emmys tonight. Pete has also opted to not attend to be with her in New York. Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend. She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding."

Q: How to handle state / conditionally modify fields within Django forms I have a django model representing a task. This task will go through multiple states from 'DRAFT' to 'COMPLETION' and during that time, various fields will change from requiring user input to explicitly refusing it. For example, you can't change the date a task was completed while it's in draft. Additionally i want different links to appear on the page based on the state (i.e. if it's in checking I want the submit button to say 'Complete this task')
I originally planned for the status to be a model in it's own right but could not work out a way - beyond hard coding - that would bring any value to those models so opted for an explicit list instead. (Any better approaches here would be appreciated).
The key problem I have is how to manage these fields and their states. It seems like the easiest would be to have conditional statements in the template like {% if task.status = 'ACCEPTED' %} but that seems like putting an awful lot of business logic into a template. I also get the impression that disabling a field once you're already in a template is much harder than the form.
My current approach is to use the view to manage these states but that seems messy and doesn't (for me) solve how to change link names and the like in the template.
if task.status = Task.ACCEPTED:
    form.fields['datereceived'].disabled = True
if task.status = Task.COMPLETED:
    ...

Is the view the place to manage these and is there a more pythonic/djangonic to manage these without overloading the template?
Sample code so excuse bugs:
Model
class Task(models.Model):
     STATUS_CHOICES = (
         (DRAFT,     DRAFT),
         (ALLOCATED, ALLOCATED),
         (ACCEPTED,  ACCEPTED),
         (CHECKING,  CHECKING),
         (COMPLETED, COMPLETED),
         (WITHDRAWN, WITHDRAWN),
         (ON_HOLD,   ON_HOLD),
     )

     status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES,default=DRAFT)
     datereceived = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
     dateworked = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
     datechecked = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
     datecompleted = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)
     datedue = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True)

Modelform
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
    model = Task
    #fields = All fields listed individually but hard to pick out for sample
    widgets = {
        'datereceived': forms.DateInput(attrs={'class':'datepicker'}),
        'datedue': forms.DateInput(attrs={'class':'datepicker'}),
        'datecompleted': forms.DateInput(attrs={'class':'datepicker'}),
    }

A: Try putting the logic in the form instantiation code as so:
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Task

    def handle_state(self, *args, **kwargs):
        task = getattr(self, 'instance', None)
        if task:
            if task.status = Task.ACCEPTED:
                 self.fields['datereceived'].disabled = True
             elif task.status = Task.COMPLETED:
                 ...

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(TaskForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.handle_state(*args, **kwargs)

A: you can use finite state machine. django-fsm to handle states of your task. In this you can define the source and target state of every transition. for reference you can see this example. https://distillery.com/blog/building-for-flexibility-using-finite-state-machines-in-django/
