Version 1.1.0 - Created by Sebastian Helzle
Waterfalls are commonly formed when a river is young. At these times the channel is often narrow and deep. When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed.
Whirlpools created in the turbulence as well as sand and stones carried by the watercourse increase the erosion capacity. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and to recede upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back to form a canyon or gorge downstream as it recedes upstream, and it will carve deeper into the ridge above it. The rate of retreat for a waterfall can be as high as one and half meters per year.
A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. The adjective montane is used to describe mountainous areas and things associated with them. The study of mountains is called Orography. Exogeology deals with planetary mountains, which in that branch of science are usually called montes (singular—mons).
The highest mountain on Earth based from sea level is Mount Everest (8,848 m (29,029 ft)) in the Himalayas of Asia. The highest known mountain in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).
Karl Ranseier ist eine fiktive Person, die im Rahmen der Samstag-Nacht-News von Stefan Jürgens in einer Trauerrede gewürdigt wurde. Erfunden wurde die Figur von Jacky Dreksler, aus dessen Privatalbum auch das Foto Ranseiers stammt, das immer zu Beginn der Rubrik gezeigt wurde. Der Name „Ranseier“ ist eine Idee Hugo Egon Balders.

Nice!
This demo shows how to display a mix of text and images as slider.
If an item contains no image, the item's content is displayed normally and can be scrolled. And if the item contains an image, the caption is displayed as overlay.
You can press arrow left and right on your keyboard to navigate through the images. Automatic rotation is disabled in this demo.
Here's how it's done

Chosen
Chosen is a JavaScript plugin for Prototype and jQuery that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. For more information (including usage, explanation and faqs), check out the online documentation.
Standard Select

Multiple Select
Turns This

<optgroup> Support
Single Select with Groups
Multiple Select with Groups
Selected and Disabled Support
Chosen automatically highlights selected options and removes disabled options.
Single Select
Multiple Select
Default Text Support
Chosen automatically sets the default field text ("Choose a country...") by reading the select element's data-placeholder value. If no data-placeholder value is present, it will default to "Select Some Option" or "Select Some Options" depending on whether the select is single or multiple. You can change these elements in the plugin js file as you see fit.
<select data-placeholder="Choose a country..." style="width:350px;" multiple class="chzn-select">
Note: on single selects, the first element is assumed to be selected by the browser. To take advantage of the default text support, you will need to include a blank option as the first element of your select list.
No Results Text Support
Setting the "No results" search text is as easy as passing an option when you create Chosen:
$(".chzn-select").chosen({no_results_text: "No results matched"});
Allow Deselect on Single Selects
When a single select box isn't a required field, you can set allow_single_deselect: true
and Chosen will add a UI element for option deselection. This will only work if the first option has blank text.
Right to Left Support
Chosen supports right to left select boxes too. just add "chzn-rtl"
in addition to "chzn-select"
to your select tags and you are good to go.
<select class="chzn-select chzn-rtl">
Single right to left select
Multiple right to left select
Change / Update Events
-
Form Field Change
When working with form fields, you often want to perform some behavior after a value has been selected or deselected. Whenever a user selects a field in Chosen, it triggers a "change" event* on the original form field. That let's you do something like this:
$("#form_field").chosen().change( … );
Note: Prototype doesn't offer support for triggering standard browser events. Event.simulate is required to trigger the change event when using the Prototype version.
-
Updating Chosen Dynamically
If you need to update the options in your select field and want Chosen to pick up the changes, you'll need to trigger the "liszt:updated" event on the field. Chosen will re-build itself based on the updated content.
- jQuery Version:
$("#form_field").trigger("liszt:updated");
- Prototype Version:
Event.fire($("form_field"), "liszt:updated");
Setup (for jQuery)
Using Chosen is easy as can be.
- Download the plugin and copy the chosen files to your app.
- Activate the plugin on the select boxes of your choice:
$(".chzn-select").chosen()
- Disco.


Transformation/Utopia
I. Transformation
If the accumulated knowledge of Western civilization has anything of value to offer us at this point, it is an awareness of just how much is possible when it comes to human life. Our otherwise foolish scholars of history and sociology and anthropology can at least show us this one thing: that human beings have lived in a thousand different kinds of societies, with ten thousand different tables of values, ten thousand different relationships to each other and the world around them, ten thousand different conceptions of self. A little traveling can show you the same thing, if you get there before Coca-Cola has had too much of a head start.
That's why I can't help but scoff when someone refers to "human nature," invariably in the course of excusing himself for a miserable resignation to our supposed fate. Don't you realize we share a common ancestor with sea urchins? If differing environments can make these distant cousins of ours so very distant from us, how much more possible must small changes in ourselves and our interactions be! If there is anything lacking (and there sorely, sorely is, most will admit) in our lives, anything unnecessarily tragic or meaningless in them, any corner of happiness that we have not yet thoroughly explored, then all that is needed is for us to alter our environments accordingly. "If you want to change the world, you first must change yourself," the saying goes; we have learned that the opposite is true.
And there is another valuable discovery our species has made, albeit the hard way: we are capable of absolutely transforming environments. The place you lie, sit, or stand reading this was probably altogether different a hundred years ago, not to mention two thousand years ago; and almost all of those changes were brought about by human beings. We have completely remade our world in the past few centuries, changing life for almost every kind of plant and animal, ourselves most of all. It only remains for us to experiment with executing (or, for that matter, not executing) these changes intentionally, in accordance with our needs and desires, rather than at the mercy of irrational, inhuman forces like competition, superstition, routine.
Once we realize this, we can claim a new destiny for ourselves, as individuals and together. No longer will we be buffeted about by powers that seem beyond our control; instead, in this exploration of ourselves through new environments, we will learn all that we can be. This path will take us out of the world as we know it, far beyond the farthest horizons we can see from here. We will become artists of the grandest kind, painting with desire as a medium, deliberately creating and recreating ourselves--becoming, ourselves, our own greatest work.
To accomplish this, we'll need to learn how to coexist and collaborate successfully: to see just how interconnected all our lives are, and finally learn how to live with that in mind. Until this becomes possible, each of us will not only be denied the vast potential of her fellows, but her own potential as well; for we all make together the world that each of us must live in and be made by.
The other thing that is lacking is the knowledge of our own desires. Desire is a slippery thing, amoebic and difficult to pin down, let alone keep up with. If we're going to make a destiny out of the pursuit and transformation of desire, we first must find ways to discover and release our loves and lusts. For this, not enough experience and adventure could ever suffice. So the makers of this new world must be more generous and more greedy than any who have come before: more generous with each other, and more greedy for life!
II. Utopia
Even from here, I can taste the question already on the tip of your tongue: isn't this utopian?Well, of course it is. You know what everyone's greatest fear is? It is that all the dreams we have, all the crazy ideas and aspirations, all the impossible romantic longings and utopian visions can come true, that the world can grant our wishes. People spend their lives doing everything in their power to fend off that possibility: they beat themselves up with every kind of insecurity, sabotage their own efforts, undermine love affairs and cry sour grapes before the world even has a chance to defeat them... because no weight could be heavier to bear than the possibility that everything we want is possible. If that is true, then there really are things at stake in this life, things to be truly won or lost. Nothing could be more heartbreaking than to fail when such success is actually possible, so we do everything we can to avoid trying in the first place, to avoid having to try.
For if there is even the slightest possibility that our hearts' desires could be realized, then of course the only thing that makes sense is to throw ourselves entirely into their pursuit and risk that heartbreak. Despair and nihilism seem safer, projecting our hopelessness onto the cosmos as an excuse for not even trying. So we remain, clutching our resignation, as safe as corpses in coffins... but this still cannot ward off that dreadful possibility. Thus in our hopeless flight from the real tragedy of the world, we only heap upon ourselves false tragedy, unnecessary tragedy, as well.
Perhaps this world will never conform perfectly to our needs--people will always die before they are ready, perfect relationships will end in ruins, adventures will end in catastrophe and beautiful moments be forgotten. But what breaks my heart is the way we flee from those inevitable truths into the arms of more horrible things. It may be true that every man is lost in a universe that is fundamentally indifferent to him, locked forever in a terrifying solitude--but it doesn't have to be true that some people starve while others destroy food or leave fertile farms untilled. It doesn't have to be true that men and women waste their lives away working to serve the hollow greed of a few rich men, just to survive. It doesn't have to be the case that we never dare to tell each other what we really want, to share ourselves honestly, to use our talents and capabilities to make life more bearable, let alone more beautiful.  It's not even utopian to demand that we put an end to farces like these.
If we could bring ourselves to believe, to really feel, the possibility that we are invincible and can accomplish whatever we want in this world, it wouldn't seem out of our reach at all to correct such absurdities. What I am begging you to do here is not to put faith in the impossible, but have the courage to face that terrible possibility that our lives really are in our own hands, and to act accordingly: to not settle for every misery fate and humanity have heaped upon us, but to push back, to see which ones can be shaken off. Nothing could be more tragic, and more ridiculous, than to live out a whole life in reach of heaven without ever stretching out your arms.

For the halibut, place the sake and mirin into a pan and bring to the boil. Boil for 20-30 seconds to burn off the alcohol; then reduce the heat.
 Turn the heat back up and add the sugar, stirring once more to dissolve.
Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
Set a third of the miso aside for the salad.
Place the halibut fillets into the remaining cold miso mixture, cover and place in the fridge for at least 24 hours, preferably 48 hours.
Preheat the grill to high and the oven to 200C/390F/Gas 6.
Remove the halibut from the miso and wipe off any excess before placing onto a grill tray.
Place under the grill to cook for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown, then remove and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked all the way through.
For the salad, place all the salad ingredients except the lime juice and groundnut oil into a bowl and mix together.
Place two tablespoons of the reserved miso into a bowl, add the lime juice and groundnut oil and whisk to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add this dressing to the salad and stir to combine.
To serve, spoon the salad onto each of four plates. Cut the halibut in half on the diagonal, place the fish on top of the salad and serve with a little more of the miso dressing over the top.

Two useful tools to find out which parts of your JS won't get optimized by V8.
V8 is Google's powerful JavaScript engine, built for and shipped with the open source Chromium project. Having a very fast JavaScript engine is arguably what drove Google Chrome adoption and while its architecture remains singular, parts of its design inspired significative improvements in most of the other JavaScript engines.
V8 is also the JavaScript engine shipped with
Node.js. It is probably in the context of Node.js that most
people started trying to understand how V8 works and how to work with
V8. Optimizing backend code being significantly more interesting to
developers than optimizing for a specific web browser.
Here is a short overview of V8 JavaScript compiling
infrastructure going over the main components you should know
about in order to understand what makes V8 fast, what optimizes
JavaScript code and what happens when V8 cannot optimize your code.
monomorphist is an open source project providing two useful tools:
The first one shows the optimization status of JavaScript functions. Its main purpose is to spot deoptimizations and Crankshaft bailouts.
The second one helps understanding what happens under the hood by looking at the internal representation and assembly generated by V8 when it compiles JavaScript code.
You don't need monomorphist to access these information, monomorphist is just a hosted tool abstracting some tricky details like passing the right flags to V8 or having to compile V8 with the right flags to let you access the IR or assembly it generates.
Another advantage of monorphist is that it hosts a great number of different Node versions and V8 versions.
Check a JavaScript function simultaneously on various Node versions:
Analyze V8 internal representation and assembly online:


Model-based Incrementalization
NMF provides elementary change notifications, offered through the industry standard interfaces INotifyPropertyChanged and INotifyCollectionChanged. These interfaces are required by many modern user interface libraries, hence the model representation code can directly be used for these techniques.
However, NMF is also able to combine these elementary change notifications to determine when the result of analyses based on a model has changed. Furthermore, an incremental algorithm is inferred to recalculate the analysis upon a model change more efficiently by the implicit introduction and management of buffers to save intermediate results. This incrementalization works online, i.e. the model needs to be kept in memory and changes must be made on the model elements in memory
The incrementalization has a sound theoretical foundation based on category theory and is implemented in NMF Expressions. NMF Expressions operates on lambda expressions, supported by many .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET in their regular syntax. To realize the incrementalization, the abstract syntax tree is converted into a dynamic dependency graph on a high abstraction level. Changes of the model under analysis are then propagated through the dependency graph, ultimately updating the analysis result.
var faultyPositions = from route in routes
where route.Entry != null && route.Entry.Signal == Signal.GO
from swP in route.Follows
where swP.Switch.CurrentPosition != swP.Position
select swP;
As an example, consider the code in `the listing above, taken from the NMF solution of the TTC Train Benchmark. NMF allows the user to specify queries like this in regular C# code with all of the tool support provided for this language and is able to implicitly deduct an incremental evaluation.
The high abstraction level in the dynamic dependency graph is achieved by a manual incrementalization of analysis operators yielding valid results as a consequence of the underlying formalization as a categorial functor. NMF Expressions includes a library of such manually incrementalized operators, including most of the Standard Query Operators (SQO). As a consequence, developers can specify query analyses conveniently through the query syntax such as used in the listing above.


Elburn native reaches bodybuilding stage after horrific accident
December 13, 2007
By JIM OWCZARSKI, Staff writer, Beacon News
The act alone was unremarkable, a grown man walking across a stage. The significance of it was monumental.
Byron Hicks works out at the gym he owns, Jakked Hardcore in Montgomery. Five years removed from a horrible car accident, Hicks won a bodybuilding event.
As Byron Hicks competed Saturday at the Midwest Ironman Figure and Fitness show at the Gateway Theater in Chicago, he showed off a physique over a decade in the making. As he moved, posing, flexing, displaying carefully crafted definition, one element to his structure defined not who he is, but what he is about.
In May of 2002, the 250-pound Hicks found himself wedged into a borrowed Ford Escort while his more appropriately sized Ford F-150 was being worked on.
At impact, Hicks' right femur was like a window pane falling to the pavement -- but because of his muscular frame the damage remained contained within his leg.
Only after an eight-hour wait in the hospital did a doctor realize his thigh had swollen to a disproportionate size.
The femoral artery was severed in the accident, and Hicks was bleeding out internally. To save his life, a fasciotomy was performed to release the building pressure. An incision from the knee to the hip was made, causing Hicks' leg to burst open like a slice sausage casing.
The bleeding was contained, but the severity of the injury presented a problem. Because the femur is so large and is a part of the hip and knee, its reconstruction was complicated. After a week, it was decided Hicks had to be moved to a different facility. But infection set in, resulting in 13 "cleanup" procedures as doctors shaved dead muscle in an effort to avoid amputation.
The infection eventually cleared, and new hardware was put in his leg to give Hicks a chance to walk again.
It was June, nearly a month after the accident, and it was just a chance.
"It was very traumatic mentally," Hicks said. "It was very hard to deal with for awhile. It was hard to deal with for a long time, actually. That whole summer was spent at home laying in bed looking out the window. Mentally it was very hard.
"Even at that time I didn't know if I'd be able to walk again. I was still laying in bed. I knew I was alive, I knew I had my leg, but I didn't know what level of experience my life would be from that point on. It was tough for awhile."
It wasn't until September 2002 that Hicks was able to get onto crutches, and his once massive body had shed 50 pounds. A fitness demon and a bodybuilder in training, the former martial artist and Kaneland football player couldn't leg curl 10 pounds, couldn't get out of bed on his own and was faced with the prospect of needing some kind of walking aid the rest of his life.
Just 25 years old, Hicks chose a different path.
He returned to the gym, and supplemented his prescribed physical therapy with exercises he developed at home. At first, he could only sit. Eventually he could stand. And on his own, he would ditch his cane and move around the gym. He was unsteady, but unfettered -- seven months after the accident.
"Something like this could break anybody," said Tami Hicks, Byron's wife of close to eight years. "I can't give myself credit, but I can say I did have to pick him up a few times, a couple times when he just wanted to give up. I couldn't let him.  I loved him too much. I had to push him harder, and once I did I think it was kind of like the domino effect and got it going.
"He realized how lucky he was to be alive, to have his leg, to be able to walk eventually. It just took a long time to get to that point."
Hicks wasn't to the point where he could walk around a mall, but progress was being made. He could stand, walk and work, but his hip and knee would not bend at the same time, eliminating his ability to resume serious bodybuilding.
During that time, he and Tami decided to go into business for themselves and opened Jakked Hardcore Gym in Montgomery in September 2006. Now that the gym was literally his livelihood, Hicks broke through.
"I've gotten, it seemed, everything I could in my life back to normal from before the accident," he said. "The one thing I didn't get back that I wanted truly was to be able to get on stage at least one time. Just to see if I even liked it, because I'd never done it. It was such a want for me then, then taken unfairly, to me, in my head, it wasn't settled."
He sought out Chuck Sanow of USA Gym in Bridgeview to train him for competition, a decision based on Sanow's renowned ability to work the legs.
The work was hard and painful. A year ago, Hicks spent a week in December barely able to walk due to the extreme soreness. But he pressed forward, putting the finishing touches on a rebuilding effort that led to his first competition on Dec. 8.
"As far as getting through it, we adjusted and just accepted what life threw at us," Tami Hicks said. "It was baby steps."
Those baby steps led Hicks, now 30, to a second-place finish in the open men's heavy division of the National Physique Committee-Illinois's event in Chicago, while taking first place as well as top overall in the novice men's heavy division. The victory qualified him for national events.
But there is a reminder -- a large, bulbous scar on his right leg from the fasciotomy. Self-conscious at first, especially in a sport where you win or lose based on your appearance, the new muscle structure from the 17 surgeries he endured led to look all his own.
"It's pretty wild looking. It's pretty nuts," Hicks said with a chuckle. "That ended up being a strong point. It's kind of cool."
Now, Hicks and his wife are back at Jakked, working on making their business a success. But what of the future? It took five years for Hicks to finally make the stage, and the victory was sweet.
"We are seeing success (at the gym), we are finding members that are extremely happy with the place and now I want to spend a little bit more time with those people and work with them a little bit more," Hicks said. "But at the same time, that win is still sitting there and feeling really good and I don't want to let that go.
"Being only 30, I don't feel I'm that far out from being where I could have been even though it's been five years. If I'm already at the national level now, then there's a chance I could maybe get through it.
"Why not? Let's see." jowczarski@scn1.com

XML semantically identifies pieces of data using opening and closing tags which are enclosed with angle brackets.
wrong
correct
Tags must be either siblings of another set of tags or children of a set of tags.
In addition to containing text and other elements, elements can take on "attributes".
The result of following these rules is a document whose content is nicely organized into a tree structure.
This means that XML actually does not specify any set of tags or element names. Anyone can make up their own set of elements and use them however they like.
It allows different industries and fields to create tags that meet their needs and their data.
If everyone can just make up their own tags, we can create confusion about what different tags mean and the datatypes they are encoding.
Someone might choose to tag something as <paragraph> and another person might choose to tag something as <para> and a third person might choose <p>.
How do we avoid this confusion?

The Trust for Leverage Beyond Belief requests that the City of Moon Juice allow it rights to expand its growing parking lot empire downtown. Bluffield Worgenstau, the head of a local Neighborhood Association is considering how these developments might affect his prefered parking at the Sunday Banana Market. Says Bluffield, to no one in particular,
"If % of the site is used for parking, there will be parking spaces (and of them will be empty)."
"Based on my calculations" Worgenstau considers, sitting in a field of Moon Juice's far-too-green Bananas, "we can expect angry Banana Merchants. And Moon Juicers to protest."


Below is an example of what the output should look like, assuming the program is run with n = 5 and seed = 100000. Your output should look identical to this output, including spacing and decimal precision, but may have a different runtime value. Notice that the tours are printed in lexicographic order (a path will always begin and end with a '0'). You can check your output for correct formatting by saving this sample file called optimal, generating your own output file by running your program, and then running the UNIX diff
command to compare your output with the sample:
% java OptimalTSP 5 100000 > output % diff -w output optimalIf nothing prints to the screen after this command other than the runtimes, then your output is formatted correctly.
Your program will be tested on multiple values of n and seed not just the values shown here, so be sure to fully test your program, including all error conditions. Note that tours always begin and end with vertex 0. Also, when you are generating x-y coordinate pairs, if the x-coordinate is not unique, discard both coordinates and generate a new pair. If there are multiple tours that have the same optimal value, then use the first one found in the lexicographically ordered list.
% java OptimalTSP 5 100000 X-Y Coordinates: v0: (2,2) v1: (0,1) v2: (4,1) v3: (3,0) v4: (1,3) Adjacency matrix of graph weights: 0 1 2 3 4 0 0.00 2.24 2.24 2.24 1.41 1 2.24 0.00 4.00 3.16 2.24 2 2.24 4.00 0.00 1.41 3.61 3 2.24 3.16 1.41 0.00 3.61 4 1.41 2.24 3.61 3.61 0.00 Path: 0 1 2 3 4 0 distance = 12.67 Path: 0 1 2 4 3 0 distance = 15.68 Path: 0 1 3 2 4 0 distance = 11.83 Path: 0 1 3 4 2 0 distance = 14.85 Path: 0 1 4 2 3 0 distance = 11.73 Path: 0 1 4 3 2 0 distance = 11.73 Path: 0 2 1 3 4 0 distance = 14.42 Path: 0 2 1 4 3 0 distance = 14.31 Path: 0 2 3 1 4 0 distance = 10.46 Path: 0 2 3 4 1 0 distance = 11.73 Path: 0 2 4 1 3 0 distance = 13.48 Path: 0 2 4 3 1 0 distance = 14.85 Path: 0 3 1 2 4 0 distance = 14.42 Path: 0 3 1 4 2 0 distance = 13.48 Path: 0 3 2 1 4 0 distance = 11.30 Path: 0 3 2 4 1 0 distance = 11.73 Path: 0 3 4 1 2 0 distance = 14.31 Path: 0 3 4 2 1 0 distance = 15.68 Path: 0 4 1 2 3 0 distance = 11.30 Path: 0 4 1 3 2 0 distance = 10.46 Path: 0 4 2 1 3 0 distance = 14.42 Path: 0 4 2 3 1 0 distance = 11.83 Path: 0 4 3 1 2 0 distance = 14.42 Path: 0 4 3 2 1 0 distance = 12.67 Optimal distance: 10.46 for path 0 2 3 1 4 0 Runtime for optimal TSP : 15 milliseconds
Below is an example of what the output should look like for n = 13 and seed = 100000:
% java OptimalTSP 13 100000 Optimal distance: 44.03 for path 0 7 10 2 9 6 8 4 3 12 1 5 11 0 Runtime for optimal TSP : 169783 milliseconds
Note the large value for runtime. The optimal program will not be tested on values of n greater than 13 (this is only the case for the optimal algorithm - all others will be tested on values greater than 13).
Finally, use Java's DecimalFormat
type to specify the formatting of the numeric output, as in:
import java.text.*; DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00"); ... System.out.println(" distance = " + df.format(distance));
Usage: java OptimalTSP n seed
Command line args must be integers
Number of vertices must be between 1 and 13
Your program should print the error message to standard output (not standard error) and terminate upon any of these error conditions. No other error condition will be tested for.
When you have your program working, submit your source code to the MyCourses dropbox called Project 1 before 11:59:00pm on the date given at the top of this write-up.


This is something I've put a lot of thought into already so was able to skim throught the resources. The habit forming video from Dr. Fogg is probably what resonated with me the most. His approach of starting small to create the habits that will lead towards the bigger goal is a good way of appreciating that big change is possible. Figuring out what the end goal or result should be is what I struggle with though, so potentially some more thought into that is the direction to go in. Perhaps that's where meditation could help.
Having tried it in the past I've not found it too useful but that's probably becuase i've only tried it a little. Being mindful and a sense of the lack of self isn't too hard but there's definitely a lot more to uncover in frequently practised meditation. I also found the process of time-boxing interesting because at first it seemed counter-productive to set a time limit on something and potentially interrupt good work. But the designated end point could definitely increase productivity with a probable sense of urgency that wouldn't otherwise be there. Then if good productive work is interupted, the reviewal process of what was accomplished would just mean that the next timebox would probably be even more productive. Time-boxes are worth a go I think, sticking to it will be the challenge but in a group environment sticking to one would be much easier.
The other video on habit formation I found a bit cringe-worthy... It was the classic video of two "thought-leaders" that don't necesarily have a scientific background (journalists and authors of popular books) discussing the science. I should've given it more time but couldn't take them seriously...

WindowOutput()
Syntax
OutputID = WindowOutput(#Window)Description
Returns the OutputID of the given window to perform 2D rendering operation on it. It will use the PureBasic 2DDrawing library and can only be used within a StartDrawing() / StopDrawing() block. The memory allocated in WindowOutput() is released on StopDrawing().
Parameters
#Window The window to use.
Return value
The OutputID of the given window to perform 2D rendering operation on it using StartDrawing().
Example
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 220, 100, "Example...", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) Repeat Event = WaitWindowEvent() If Event = PB_Event_Repaint ; Redraw on the window every time the window is repainted StartDrawing(WindowOutput(0)) Box(10, 10, 50, 50, RGB(255, 0, 0)) StopDrawing() EndIf Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf
Remarks
Content drawn on a window will be erased whenever the window or a part of it is covered by another window, moved outside of the screen or when the window is hidden or minimized. So to keep the drawn content visible, it must be redrawn after every #PB_Event_Repaint event. A more convenient alternative is to draw the content to an image via ImageOutput() and display it as ImageGadget() in the application window and if necessary, update it with SetGadgetState(). This way all needed refreshing will be handled by the ImageGadget.
Example
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 220, 100, "Example...", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) ButtonGadget (1, 10, 60, 200, 30, "Draw on window") Repeat Event = WaitWindowEvent() Select Event Case #PB_Event_Gadget Select EventGadget() Case 1 ; Draw a red box on the window If StartDrawing(WindowOutput(0)) Box(10,10, 200, 30, RGB(255, 0, 0)) StopDrawing() EndIf EndSelect EndSelect Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf

Video: Watch the fastest knockout in Glory Kickboxing history
It took John King just 10 seconds to finish off Tom Matlon during the Superfights portion of Glory 72 in Chicago.
by Ryan HarknessEven without the UFC in action this weekend, there were knockouts galore across the rest of the combat sports world. You had Deontay Wilder’s impressive KO of Luiz Ortiz (watch the finish here) and then over in Chicago you have this impressive knockout from the Glory 72 Superfight Series between heavyweights John King and Tom Matlon.
Watch the whole match, courtesy of Glory Kickboxing:
It took King just 10 seconds (including the ref’s count) to put Matlon down on the mat where he lay like a corpse until the ref waved things off. Right from the opening bell he stalked forward, taking a kick to the body before responding with a big overhand right that staggered Matlon. A tight left seemed to be the punch that really did the damage but King hit him again going down for good measure with another right.
It’s a bit of art and a new record for Glory Kickboxing that we imagine will stand for a while.

1935
The first references to the more modern concept of virtual reality came from science fiction. Stanley G. Weinbaum's 1935 short story "Pygmalion's Spectacles" describes a goggle-based virtual reality system with holographic recording of fictional experiences, including smell and touch.
1968
In 1968, Ivan Sutherland, with the help of his student Bob Sproull, created what was widely considered to be the first head-mounted display (HMD) system for use in immersive simulation applications.
1991
In 1991, Carolina Cruz-Neira, Daniel J. Sandin and Thomas A. DeFanti from the Electronic Visualization Laboratory created the first cubic immersive room, The Cave. Developed as Cruz-Neira's PhD thesis, it involved a multi-projected environment, similar to the holodeck, allowing people to see their own bodies in relation to others in the room.
1999
In 1999, entrepreneur Philip Rosedale formed Linden Lab with an initial focus on the development of VR hardware. In its earliest form, the company struggled to produce a commercial version of "The Rig", which was realized in prototype form as a clunky steel contraption with several computer monitors that users could wear on their shoulders. The concept was later adapted into the personal computer-based, 3D virtual world Second Life.
2001
In 2001, SAS3 or SAS Cube became the first PC based cubic room, developed by Z-A Production (Maurice Benayoun, David Nahon), Barco, Clarté, installed in Laval France in April 2001. The SAS library gave birth to Virtools VRPack. By 2007, Google introduced Street View, a service that shows panoramic views of an increasing number of worldwide positions such as roads, indoor buildings and rural areas. It also features a stereoscopic 3D mode, introduced in 2010.

Tutorial¶
Requirements¶
You need the following Python 3 libraries:
- NumPy
- SciPy
- Matplotlib
- netCDF4
In order to generate the documentation you need the sphinx package.
Using the code¶
Data input¶
The data used must be in the netCDF4 format. The axis of the velocity components are ordered like z, y, x, where z can also be the number of samples in a 2D field.
The variable names should be changed in the class.py file
In this example we have the DNS HIT format used in this tutorial:
self.u = np.array(grp1.variables['velocity_x'][time,:,:])
self.v = np.array(grp1.variables['velocity_y'][time,:,:])
self.w = np.array(grp1.variables['velocity_z'][time,:,:])
self.samples = self.u.shape[1]
self.dx = np.linspace(0,self.samples,self.samples)
self.dy = np.linspace(0,self.samples,self.samples)
self.norm = False
self.normdir = 1
Here the names of the variables velocity_x, velocity_y and velocity_z are defined and an equally spaced mesh is created using np.linspace.
Note
No normalization is required for this case due to its homogeneity.
Parameters¶
The code comes with a default test case for the HIT, located in ../data/test_data.nc. The default configuration os class.py is set to handle the HIT case.
If no input file with the -i argument has been specified, the test_data.nc will be used.
$ python3 vortexfitting.py
If we want to define a threshold for the swirling strength, we can specify with the -s argument, like this:
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -t 0.5
The differencing scheme can be changed with the -s argument:
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -s 4
Note
Available schemes:
- 2 - Second Order (default)
- 22 - Least-square filter
- 4 - Fourth order
We can as well change the detection method with the -d argument
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -d Q
Note
Available methods:
- Q - Q criterion
- swirling - Swirling Strenght (default)
- delta - Delta criterion
An initial radius can be set with -rmax argument.
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -rmax 15
An output directory can be specified with -o / –output argument.
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -o ../results/MY_DIRECTORY
Use arguments -first, -last and -step to analyze a set of images. Default for -step is 1.
For example, if you want to compute from image #10 to #20, each 2 images, enter:
$ python3 vortexfitting.py -first 10 -last 20 -step 2
Data output¶
The results will be written to the ../results/ folder with the following files:
- accepted.svg: The location and size of the accepted vortices
- linked.svg: same as accepted.svg but can be open on the web browser with clickable vortices
- vortex#_1.png: Comparison of the velocity field of the vortex and the model
- vortex#_2.png: Comparison of the velocity field of the vortex and the model, subtracting the convection velocity
- vortices.dat: parameters of all the vortices
Generating a custom Vortex¶
It’s possible to generate a custom vortex using the generateNetCDF.py module. It will create a netCDF4 file with the same characteristics as the DNS HIT file.
$ python3 generateNetCDF.py
This command will create a file generatedField.nc at the data folder.
You can tune the characteristics and position of the vortex by changing the following values directly on generatedField.nc:
- coreR;
- gamma;
- fxCenter;
- u_conv;
- v_conv.
The size of the domain can also be changed on the ndim variable.
Converting NC to ASCII¶
If for any reason you need to convert the NC file to a text format (ASCII), the module convertToASCII.py can do the job. It will open the infile and save all z planes (or time) into separeted files.
$ python3 convertToASCII.py -i input.nc -o output
Depending on the file you need to change the variable names like velocity_x and such for the corresponding variable.
Documentation¶
To perform changes on the documentation, you should modify directly the .rst files, located in the docs folder. After modifying the desired files, run the script update_docs.sh:

Undergraduate programming mentors help students better understand computer science and, in particular, programming. Mentoring typically occurs during labs and recitations, with either the instructor or TA heading each session. Mentors also typically hold group office hours. And for some courses, mentors meet periodically with TAs and instructors to receive guidance as to how to best mentor.
Because mentoring for CSCI requires approximately six hours per week on top of your other commitments, please do not mentor for other departments (e.g., the I-PERSIST mentoring program).
Please apply below. Applications are due by 12/6/2019. Send any questions to Shianne Hulbert. And please be sure to specify your schedule below to the best of your knowledge.
{% if applied %}Your mentor application is successful!
You can change your application at anytime, but remember, we will start to look at all the applications after 12/6, so make sure you filled out the form and submit before the deadline.
View your application and make changes:
You can withdraw your application if you do not want to apply for mentor anymore. A new application can be started after you withdrawed.

Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Did you ever hear the one about a young woman driving along an isolated stretch of road late one rainy night, unaware that a killer is hiding in the back seat of her car? "Urban Legend" begins with that old folk tale, adding a wry audio joke to the mix. As Natasha Gregson Wagner cruises along, oblivious to the ax-wielding loon right behind her, she pops a tape into the car's cassette player, and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" begins to play. The song's instrumental introduction comes to a close and the male back-up singer beings to croon "Turn around..."
I'm giving "Urban Legend," the latest entry in the post-"Scream" slasher movie renaissance, a qualified recommendation based on a few self-mocking gags like that, and a nice starring turn by Alicia Witt, but mostly for the filmmaker's audacious choices concerning the identity and motif of their serial killer.
Before exploring the juicy details about the murderer (have no fear, there will be no spoilers here), it's important to cover the basics of the story. Like virtually every slasher flick, "Urban Legend" involves a lunatic chasing attractive, mostly white, young people. The story is set at a picturesque New England college staffed by only three adults; a crusty disbelieving administrator (John Neville), a wise, but ominous professor (Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund) and a plucky security guard (Loretta Devine from "Waiting to Exhale"). In a recent interview, I asked Devine about the film's paucity of adults and she laughed and said "Shit, honey, kids don't want to look at grown-ups!"
There's a killer on campus, murdering students by recreating famous urban legends; those alligators-in-the-sewer, exploding-cats-in-the-microwave contemporary myths passed on by folks who invariably claim the stories really happened to a cousin of a friend of theirs.
Alicia Witt (the daughter from "Cybil") is the first to figure out the horrible pattern, but of course, no one will believe her. As the body count grows, the leaders of tomorrow cope with the carnage in the only logical fashion - - they throw a kegger party. Naturally, the killer attends and the corpses stack up, leading to the inevitable face-off between our heroine and the maniac.
Oh, and what a maniac!  Instead of being frightening, I found myself fighting the urge to shout "Oh my God, Kenny's killing sophomores! You bastard!"
That's not all. When the killer is finally revealed, we're treated with an overacting exhibition of operatic proportions. Obviously, I can't mention the actor's name, so I'll simply offer my congratulations on a wild-eyed, teeth-gnashing, in-your-face performance that would make even William Shatner blush.
In the starring role, Alicia Witt deserves credit for centering the film by projecting an air of reason that makes all this nonsense seem almost credible. Even when her own behavior is illogical, there's a look of intelligence in her eyes that helps to sell the story. Look for Witt to go on to much better things.
"Urban Legend" ends with a patently unbelievable scene that sets thing up for a sequel. I hope they do one because, even with its many leaden spots, this lurid trifle is actually fun on a trashy level. Besides, there's so many urban legends left to cover. For instance, did you hear the one about a writer who turned out a screenplay for a teen movie that didn't insult the viewer's intelligence? It's true. It was written by the cousin of a friend of mine.

Mark Meyer has created an L-system algorithm in PlotDevice. An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a set of rules and symbols used to model the growth processes of plant development - you may remember it from Dryad. L-systems are based on recursion - a programming principle in which parts of the whole involve invoking the whole again (e.g. a branch of a tree is a small tree in itself, etc.) Mark has shared his code with us so now we can all experiment with L-systems!
You may also want to check out some of Mark’s beautiful photography on his website.
Here are the rules used to create the output. The rule system is a simple dictionary - it
should be pretty self explanatory. For a rule like: X -> F[+X][-X]FX just add a entry
to the rules dictionary like rules[’X’] = ’F[+X][-X]FX’. The letters represent other
rules so in the above rule we need to make sure there is also a rule defined for F or we get a
key error.
This one uses a scale factor with each iteration of .95--it’s in the code but commented
out.
segmentLength = 195
angles: 10, -10
begin -> A
A -> A[-B][+B]
B -> A[-B]A[+A]

degree.

RandomData()
Syntax
RandomData(*Buffer, Length)Description
Fills the specified memory buffer with random data.
Parameters
*Buffer The memory address of the buffer to fill. Length The size of the buffer to fill.
Return value
None.
Remarks
This command uses the same random seed as the Random() command. RandomSeed() may be used to change the random number seed.
Note: This command uses a pseudorandom number generator which is very fast and produces randomly looking output but it is not strong enough for cryptographic purposes. The slower CryptRandomData() command can be used if more secure random number generation is required.
Example
; Create an image with random content ; CreateImage(0, 200, 200) If StartDrawing(ImageOutput(0)) *Buffer = DrawingBuffer() Pitch = DrawingBufferPitch() RandomData(*Buffer, Pitch*200) StopDrawing() EndIf OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 200, 200, "Random Image", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) ImageGadget(0, 0, 0, 200, 200, ImageID(0)) Repeat Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

A codebook tells you what the numbers in your dataset actually mean.
For example, if you have a “1” in the Gender variable, does it mean Male? Female? Other? or something else? In professional studies, elaborate codebooks are created.
However, for your data, you just need something to double check the meaning of the numbers in your dataset. So I’m going to teach you a simple method to create a basic codebook.

The health of soil can analyzed using the
biological, physical, and
chemical properties. Nutrient cycling and soil organic matter (SOM) are central concepts.
Soil organic matter (SOM) is a diverse mixture of living, decaying, and stable organic materials in different biological, chemical, and physical states.
H2O in SOM
- Litre per % OM
CEC of SOM
- Meq
20% Active
80% Stable
C in SOM
- MT/a Carbon
11MT/a per 1%
A sustained cycling of dead organic residues and living organisms creates a storage and slow release mechanism for carbon and plant nutrients, complementing the rapid availability of fertilizers.
- Fertilizer availability
- OM Mineralization release
The Carbon:Nitrogen ratio affects whether biological activity is a sink (storage) or a source (release) of plant available nitrogen. Managing organic matter can lead to better control of mineralization and immobilization.
- C:N Ratio
- Mineralization
- Immobilization
Manure & compost add organic carbon and nutrients to the soil, fueling both plant growth and the microbial production of long term soil OM.
- Organic Carbon
- Organic Nitrogen
Soil porosity effects air, water, and nutrient access by roots and is easily disrupted by heavy traffic on moist soil, tillage, and rain events.
Summary
A continuous supply of fresh residues and living roots is necessary to provide active OM for foodweb metabolism & build humus. C02 emission limits the amount of biomass retained as stable OM or humus.
- Microbial biomass
- Active Carbon
- Nitrogen Release
- Stable Carbon
Our work
Soil health sampling was carried out by KNWSA staff in cooperation with PEIDAF and local farmers and used in the development of a ratings scale for multiple soil health parameters.
Soil Stability
Active Carbon
Split trial data was collected to assess changes in soil health and/or crop yield associated with residue tillage as a conservation practice for reducing erosion.

Alam, M. Z, Lynch, D.H, Sharifi, M., Burton, D. L. & Hammermeister, A. M. (2016): The effect of green manure and organic amendments on potato yield, nitrogen uptake and soil mineral nitrogen, Biological Agriculture & Horticulture.
This research examined organic nutrient sources and crop sequences in an organic potato rotation. There were no significant yield increases associated with any one rotation and it was concluded that rotational effects on yield would have to be studied over longer periods of time. Municipal solid food waste and paper mill biosolid amendments did significantly increase yields.
This research was conducted on Prince Edward Island in 1999 and focused specifically on potato production. It found that tillage frequency and rotation length affected soil quality, especially for labile organic Carbon and Nitrogen fractions. Aggregate stability followed a similar pattern but was less pronounced than soil organic matter (SOM) Carbon and Nitrogen fractions. Under longer rotations with 30-40% potato frequency (and associated intensive tillage), soil quality and SOM content was higher.
This research observed that even in cropping systems that returned little biomass back to the soil that reduced tillage can maintain or increase the labile, or active, fractions of organic matter.
Burton, Zebarth, Styles (2016, March). Developing a soil nitrogen test for potato production in Prince Edward Island. Data presented at the PEI Soil and Crop Improvement Association Annual Conference, Summerside, PE.
Data collected on Prince Edward Island show substantial variation in soil nitrogen supply across regions and and farms. Potentially mineralizable N ranged from approximately 95kgha-200kg/ha and actual, mineralized N ranged from 30kg/ha - 110kg/ha.

Culman, S. W., Snapp, S. S., Freeman, M. A., Schipanski, M. E., Beniston, J., Lal, R., ... & Lee, J. (2012). Permanganate oxidizable carbon reflects a processed soil fraction that is sensitive to management. Soil Science Society of America Journal, 76(2), 494-504.
This paper finds that permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC), or active carbon, is a measurable fraction of organic matter that responds to management. This is the metric for active carbon used in the Cornell Soil Health test.
This research presents Eastern Canadian data on soil supplied nitrogen and confirms that soil N supply can be predicted by soil properties. The average soil N supply at the 0-15cm depth was 70kg/ha and varied over a similar range to what Burton, Styles, and Zebarth have found of Prince Edward Island.
This articles examines the relationship between available water capacity (AWC) of soil and soil organic matter (SOM). Generally speaking, the water holding capacity of soil is measured as the difference between field capacity (max water before saturation) and permanent wilting point (PWP), the % moisture at which plant roots can no longer extract moisture. The paper acknowledges that increased SOM increases soil aggregate formation, aggregate stability, and porosity, resulting in increased water holding. Conversely, when SOM decreases, water holding capacity decreases. Since water capacity varies with soil texture in addition to SOM, there is no singular number reported.
This research defines conservation management as "some combination of reduced tillage, increased crop diversity more perennial crops, increased crop residue return, increased soil fertility and/or increased application
of organic amendments." It presents data that demonstrates differences in soil quality associated with conservation management.
This paper reviews literature on tillage induced changes in physical soil properties such as bulk density and porosity. Comparisons between conventional and no-till are reported on.
This study compared soil with long term manure use (28 yrs) to soil that had no history of manure. Long term manure application significantly increased potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) and preseeding N03-N levels. Water stable macroaggregates were also significantly higher with than without manure. It is concluded mineral NPK alone is not sufficient to maintain or increase soil nutrient status or soil quality.
This research finds that various pools of organic matter—hot water extractable Carbon (HWC) and extractable organic Carbon (EOC)—explain soil mineralizable Nitrogen when combined in a multivariate analysis, indicating that increases in total OM and EOM are associated with increases in mineralizable N.

This research finds that organic amendments can increase the soil N supply potential by up to 35%. Management induced changes were detected by several indicators of soil N supply.

This research concludes that as little as 5-6 years of differentiated soil management significantly affect soil organic carbon fractions, soil structure, and the growth of fungal hyphae. Macroporosity was significantly higher in a cereal rotation that included a grass/clover green manure than it was for a cereal dominated rotation with no manure and a cereal dominated rotation with manure. Both cereal + grass and cereal + manure rotations resisted compaction better.
Soon, Y. K. and Clayton, G. W. 2002. Eight years of crop rotation and tillage effects on crop production and N fertilizer use. Canadian Journal of Soil Science. 82: 165172.
Western Canadian study on a sandy loam soil. Looked at multiple types of rotation over 2 4 year rotation cycles, finding that it wasn’t until the second rotation cycle that the effects of a no-till (NT) system resulted in a decrease in fertilizer requirement and 22% higher wheat yields. This was related to reduced tillage and diversified rotational crops.
This paper reports that particulate organic matter (POMN) may be a good predictors of Soil N. Because research was conducted on Western Canadian soils, mineral N was also found to explain variation in Soil N but this would not apply in Eastern Canada. The study reports values for potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) ranging from 40-140 mg/Kg which highlights the opportunity for increased nutrient use efficiency in developing reliable predictors of soil nitrogen producing potential.
This research focuses on the labile (active) fractions of soil organic matter, finding that particulate organic matter (POM) and hot water extractable organic matter (Hot-WEOM), a smaller labile pool, are good early season indicators of soil N supply in both sandy loam and silty clay soils of the St. Lawrence River lowlands in Quebec.
This paper provides some nitrogen response curves for potato and discusses the challenge of maximizing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). It also discusses light interception and maximum yield as considerations in matching nitrogen fertilizer to crop uptake.

This research reports on the nitrogen use efficiency of Russet Burbank potatoes. At moderate levels of inorganic fertilization (120-160 kg/ha), nitrogen use efficiency was 50%. Nitrogen use efficiency decreased with increasing rates of nitrogen fertilizer. As whole plant dry matter increased, harvest index (the ratio of tuber dry matter to plant dry matter) decreased.

A couple of months ago, I booked train tickets to Windermere for my first wildcamp of 2010. Initial plans were to hostel at Windermere Wednesday night, then bus to Langdale, walk to and camp on Haystacks, then Dale Head and finally end up in Keswick for the bus back to windermere Saturday morning. However, due to the forecast snow and gales, I chickened out of camping, and instead chose to hostel at Buttermere.
Thus, after an excellent journey and sleep Wednesday, I found myself Thursday morning bussing to Buttermere Youth Hostel. This journey was an experience. Started with heavy snow on Dunmail Raise, just missing photographing an extremely low flying plane over Thirlmere, and confirmation of the amount of snow lying on the hills. Then, the next bus journey saw us put a BMW into a fence near Catbells, and a slippy ascent of Honister Pass.

Anyhow, finally, Thursday lunchtime I decided the afternoon wouldn’t give enough time for an ascent on Haystacks, especially as I hadn’t got an up to date weather forecast, so instead, I took a walk around Buttermere lake. I did spice up the low level walk with some scrambling up the two waterfalls at base of Red Pike and High Crag - all in the name of photography ;) Thursday evening saw a lively chat with a youth hostel room mate, a beef burger and a few beers and double Jura single malts.
Friday morning, and I was up early. After breakfast, I walked along the SE shore of Buttermere to the bottom of Haystacks, and started climbing towards Scarth Gap. Nearing the top, I had to choose whether to go all out along High Crag towards Red Pike or be sensible and just bite of Haystacks. I choose the latter, mainly as snow and low visibility was forecast for around 14:00.
The ascent of Haystacks was ok; the large rock steps were covered by fresh snow which gave good enough grip although a few sections did look tricky for the descent. Infact, following the main path over the cairns was difficult when entering the rocky sections. Several down climbs on icy steps nearly forced a rethink and retreat, but no, I scrambled down and evently reached Innominate Tarn about 11:00.

The scenery was fantastic, the snowy Gables and Pillar dominating the vista with the tarns providing perfect subjects for photography. I wanted to get the tripod out, and play with filters etc. However, a huge black cloud was incoming from Borrowdale, and I feared this might bring snow, a white-out or general hill fog, so I continued with some hand held shots and thus allowed me to descend shortly after.

It was on descending the rocky summit of Haystacks that my heavy rucksack (the DSLR, tripod, crampons, axe and winter clothing a light sack does not make) gave me the biggest problems. My centre of gravity was way off, the the rucksack did it’s best to pull me of the slippy but sure handholds when scrambling down the icy steps. Also, my Scarpa SLs providing great problems in keeping traction in compacted snow, I definately seemed to slip more frequently than others around.
Upon descending to Scarth Gap, I took a left to a rocky outcrop that provided a perfect view to upper and lower Ennerdale. The High Level Route on Pillar stuck out in the snow so clearly, and it was supprising how much more snow was on the valley floor than in the neighbouring Buttermere.A re-ascent of Scarth Gap and uneventful descent back to Buttermere followed.

Last time I walked down this hill, I nearly cried with pain due to my knee, and I waited and waited for a reshow. But now, the knee was ok, even with the weight I was carrying. Infact, the only thing I really noticed was my lack of hill fitness - infact the largest hill I have done in 2010 was a leisurely paced Whernside.

However, peak bagging will soon pick up. April will bring Snowdon twice. Then Scafell Pike, Nevis and two other Munros are the aim of May’s Scotland holiday.
