Little Schuylkill River




Schuylkill River watershed. The Little Schuylkill River joins the Schuylkill River southeast of Pottsville.


The Little Schuylkill River is a 30.6-mile-long (49.2 km)[1]tributary of the Schuylkill River in northeast Pennsylvania in the United States.


It rises south of McAdoo Heights near Haddock[2], Kline Township in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, on top of Broad Mountain. It flows south, then southwest passing through the communities of Tamaqua and New Ringgold. The river joins the Schuylkill River near Port Clinton west of Hawk Mountain. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has designated several parts of the stream special trout stocking areas.

History of Name


The Little Schuylkill River was known as the Tamauguay Creek or River in the 18th and early to mid 19th centuries[3]. This name derives from the Lenni Lenape word for “beaver” (tëmakwe[4] or tamaqua) and also the Lenni Lenape method for using “hunter’s hints”[5] thus identifying it as the “place of the beavers”. As the land became settled by Europeans, this Schuylkill River tributary was then referred to as the Little Schuylkill River – Schuylkill coming from the Dutch language meaning “hidden river”.

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
