Introduction: The Mysterious Breed of Hagrid's Dog
Hagrid's loyal and formidable companion, Fang, has been a constant presence throughout the Harry Potter series. With his enormous size and intimidating appearance, many fans have wondered about the breed of this enigmatic dog. Despite being one of the most recognizable characters in the wizarding world, the true origins of Fang's breed remain shrouded in mystery. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of Fang and attempt to uncover the secrets behind his breed.
Fang: A Loyal Companion to Hagrid
Fang, a boarhound, has been by Hagrid's side since he was just a puppy. Despite his intimidating size and appearance, Fang is known for his gentle and loyal nature. Throughout the series, he is often seen accompanying Hagrid on various adventures, proving his unwavering loyalty and dedication to his owner. Fang's presence provides both comfort and protection to Hagrid, making him an invaluable companion.
Unveiling the Origins of Fang's Breed
The boarhound, also known as the Great Dane, is the breed that best aligns with Fang's physical characteristics. Great Danes are known for their large size, muscular build, and imposing appearance. While the specific origins of Fang's breed within the wizarding world remain unknown, it is likely that Hagrid acquired him from a magical source, given the extraordinary nature of the creatures in Hagrid's care.
The Physical Characteristics of Fang
Fang's physical appearance is a defining aspect of his character. Known for his massive size, Fang towers over most other dogs, standing at least six feet tall on his hind legs. His body is muscular and well-built, with a broad chest and powerful limbs. His coat is short and bristly, usually black or dark grey in color. Fang's expressive eyes and droopy jowls contribute to his gentle and somewhat comical appearance.
Temperament and Personality Traits of Fang
Despite his intimidating appearance, Fang possesses a gentle and affectionate temperament. He is known for his friendly and patient nature, always eager to please and interact with those around him. Fang's loyalty to Hagrid is unwavering, and he has shown great bravery in protecting his owner and his friends when danger arises. Fang's calm and steady demeanor make him an ideal companion for Hagrid and a beloved character in the series.
Historical Context: Hagrid's Choice of Breed
Given Hagrid's love for magical creatures and his natural affinity for larger and more unconventional animals, Fang's breed choice aligns with Hagrid's character. The boarhound's imposing size and protective instincts make them well-suited for Hagrid's lifestyle and the dangerous situations that often arise in the wizarding world. Hagrid's choice of Fang as his loyal companion reflects his own personality and the need for a trustworthy and formidable companion.
Theories and Speculations Surrounding Fang's Breed
Over the years, numerous theories and speculations have emerged regarding Fang's breed. Some fans believe that Fang may be a crossbreed, while others suggest that he might belong to a rare magical breed. However, without concrete evidence from the books or author J.K. Rowling herself, these theories remain purely speculative, adding to the allure and mystery surrounding Fang's breed.
Expert Opinions: Identifying Fang's Canine Heritage
While there may not be any definitive statements about Fang's breed within the Harry Potter series, dog experts and enthusiasts have offered their insights. Many agree that Fang's physical characteristics align closely with those of a Great Dane. The breed's size, build, and appearance make it the most likely candidate for Fang's breed. However, without official confirmation, these opinions remain educated guesses.
Comparing Fang to Popular Dog Breeds
When comparing Fang to popular dog breeds, the Great Dane stands out as the most obvious resemblance. Other breeds, such as the Neapolitan Mastiff and the Bullmastiff, share some physical similarities with Fang but do not quite capture his distinctive appearance. Fang's size, coupled with his gentle personality, sets him apart from most other breeds, making him a truly unique character in the wizarding world.
The Impact of Fang's Breed on the Harry Potter Series
Fang's breed plays a significant role in the Harry Potter series. His imposing size and intimidating appearance add an element of danger and excitement to the story. Fang's presence also serves as a reminder of Hagrid's love for extraordinary creatures and his ability to form deep and meaningful bonds with animals. The inclusion of Fang's breed helps create a rich and diverse world within the Harry Potter universe.
Fang's Role in Hagrid's Life and the Wizarding World
Fang's role in Hagrid's life and the wizarding world cannot be overstated. As Hagrid's loyal companion, Fang provides both emotional support and physical protection. His presence serves as a symbol of Hagrid's nurturing nature and his deep connection with magical creatures. Fang's unwavering loyalty and bravery make him an integral part of Hagrid's life and a beloved character among fans.
Conclusion: The Enigma of Fang's Breed Unraveled
While the true breed of Fang may remain a mystery within the Harry Potter series, the evidence points towards him being a boarhound or a Great Dane. Fang's physical characteristics, temperament, and his compatibility with Hagrid's lifestyle all align with this breed.

Provider vs Factory vs Service
So in summary, provider, factory, and service are all providers. A factory is a special case of a provider when all you need in your provider is a $get() function. It allows you to write it with less code. A service is a special case of a factory when you want to return an instance of a new object, with the same benefit of writing less code.
When to use one versus the other?
The answer is you use the most specialize version that accomplishes your goal. Say for example you are returning an existing object defined somewhere else that takes constructor arguments. You can't pass arguments to the service, so you would make the call with a factory instead.
mod.factory("myProvider", function() {
 console.log("Factory function called.");
 return new SomeMessageBoxClass("custom argument");
});
One of the main factors of deciding between a provider and factory is whether you want to be able to configure the object that is generated before it's generated. You do this by calling module.config() and getting an instance to the provider itself (instead of the object returned by the provider). You do this by appending "Provider" to the end of your provider's name when you are injecting it.
Here is an example of how you would do that:
mod.provider("myProvider", function() {
 this.value = "My Value";
 this.setValue = function(newValue) {
 this.value = newValue;
 };
 this.$get = function() {
 return this.value;
 };
});
mod.controller("MyController", function(myProvider) {
 console.log("MyController - myProvider: " + myProvider);
});
mod.config(function(myProviderProvider) { // ADDED config section
 // Note the extra "Provider" suffix
 myProviderProvider.setValue("New Value");
});
That covers when to use the three providers: provider, factory, and service. There is one additional provider that was not mentioned here that is yet another special case and that's the value provider.
If you remember when we first introduced the factory provider above we gave the simple example of returning a string value. That looked like this:
mod.factory("myProvider", function() {
 return "My Value";
});
Well we could have actually done that using the value provider instead, again the benefit being that you can do it in less code. The code below does the same thing as the code above:
mod.value("myProvider", "My Value");
So when would you use one versus the other? Presumably you would use the factory provider when you want to calculate the value based on some other data, for example data from another value provider or an external source. And/or when you want to calculate the value if and only when it's first requested. Here are some examples:
// Example where factory depends on a "value" provider
mod.value("multiple", 3);
mod.factory("value", function(multiple) {
 return 10 * multiple;
});
// Example where factory depends on external data
mod.factory("value", function(multiple) {
 var multiple = getDateFromExternalPage();
 return 10 * multiple;
});
Did I imply that value was the only other provider? Well I lied, there is another that is very similar to value with two minor differences. That provider is called constant.
The difference between value and constant is that a value specified using constant is available during the configuration phase. You might remember from earlier that I mentioned that provider was accessible from the configuration phase, but service and factory were not.
Well it's the same for value and constant. constant is available from the configuration phase and value is not. The other difference is as the name implies you can't change the value of a constant. The first value you assign it is the value it keeps, if you try to assign it a different value later it will be ignored.
Here's an example:
mod.value("myValue", "First Assignment");
mod.value("myValue", "Second Assignment");
mod.constant("myConstant", "First Assignment");
mod.constant("myConstant", "Second Assignment");
mod.controller("MyController", function(myValue, myConstant) {
 console.log("myValue: " + myValue);
 console.log("myConstant: " + myConstant);
});
CONSOLE OUTPUT
myValue: Second Assignment
myConstant: First Assignment
Here is a summary of when to use each:
value You are providing a simple literal value.
mod.value("myValue", 10);

constant You need to be able access that value during the configuration phase. (using .config())
mod.constant("myValue", 10);
mod.config(function(myValue) {
 console.log(myValue);
});

factory The value you are providing needs to be calculated based on other data.
mod.factory("myFactory", function() {
 return 10;
});

service You are returning an object with methods.
mod.service("myService", function() {
 var name = "Bob";
 this.setName = function(newName) {
 this.name = newName;
 };
 this.getName = function() {
 return this.name;
 }
});

provider You want to be able to configure, during the config phase, the object that is going to be created before it's created.
mod.provider("greeter", function() {
 var name;
 this.setName = function(newName) {
 name = newName;
 };
 this.$get = function() {
 return new function() {
 this.sayHi = function() {
 console.log("Hi " + name;
 };
 };
 };
});
mod.config(function(greeterProvider) {
 greeterProvider.setName("John");
});

 Hi. The last section where you are using color to highlight. The place where you are demonstrating service just before mod.value(….) . You have used mod.factory(…). Isn't that supposed to be mod.service(…);
 2. Prabhjot Kaur says
 Hi Luis,
 Thanks a lot for sharing this piece of information. I could easily understand the differences between all of them and when to use them. It helped me a lot.
 Keep it up !
 3. Said says
 Thank yo so so much, I had been trying to understand from thousands of resources on the web, read many posts but this is exactly what I seek.
 4. Sreyas MN says
 It's really nice article to understand the deference between Provider, Service, Factory, Value and Constant. Great work..
 5. Rahul Sahu says
 You said that "You can't pass arguments to the service" but we can;
 See below code –
 module.value("multiple",4);
 module.service('myFactory',function(multiple){
 this.getValue = function(value){console.log("calling getValue from service…");
 return value*multiple;
 };
 });
 Please let me know if I am going down a wrong path
 - Luis Perez says
 The code you wrote absolutely works. My example was if you didn't want to use injection, if you wanted to pass a value that didn't need to be configurable. Useful if you didn't want to pollute your angular "provider namespace". Granted not a big concern in most cases. Now this next part my not be directly related to your question but I thought it was worth mentioning since without that big difference between service and provider you might be asking what's

3.2.6 Directors
The FCA requires all societies' rules to state how the board of directors will be appointed and removed, and similarly, how the officers of the board will be appointed and removed, and the arrangements, if any, for paying directors. Under society legislation the minimum age for directors is 16.
The good governance of a society depends on having an active board, elected by the members, to oversee the affairs of the society. In electing a board, members are delegating their sovereign powers to this body. The directors are accountable to the membership, and are responsible for supervising the managers and executive staff who run the business. Societies, except for charitable societies, can choose to have a mix of executive and non-executive directors, or opt for an exclusively non-executive board, serviced by executive staff. The directors of charitable community benefit societies have a duty to act solely in the interest of the charity and must prevent conflicts of interest from affecting their decisions. This means they cannot receive any payment or benefit without authority, so it is unusual for charities to have executive directors on the board (see _URL_ ).
Consideration needs to be given to the size of the board, its composition, and the length of service of directors. Usually the size of the board is expressed in terms of a minimum and maximum number of directors, typically between three and 12. Some multi-stakeholder societies have rules that reserve a set number of places on the board for different membership categories. Societies may also have rules that allow the board to co-opt directors with specialist or professional skills. Most societies require directors to either retire or seek re-election after a defined period, typically three years, usually on a rotational basis so that no more than a third of the board are standing for election, thus allowing for some continuity of membership.
As a matter of good practice most societies, including charitable community benefit societies, will pay directors out-of-pocket expenses. Some societies also pay directors a fee commensurate with the services they provide. Charitable community benefit societies should follow the guidance provided by their national charity regulator on this matter, and ensure that their rules are compatible with this guidance.
Societies must have rules to remove directors. Usually this is a power held by a simple majority vote of members at a general meeting. Societies will normally have rules for removing directors who have been declared bankrupt, or are deemed medically incapable of carrying out their duties. Some societies have rules to remove directors if they fail to attend a minimum consecutive number of meetings.
The rules must also address the appointment of officers. All societies are obliged by law to appoint a secretary. Other officer posts, such as treasurer, chair and vice-chair, are at the discretion of the society. Other discretionary rules include provisions for the proceedings at board meetings, focusing mainly on quora and the role of the chair and the use of electronic media to conduct remote meetings.

Compliance of stress-induced therapy, controlled by actimeters
- Published on 2013
Introduction: In hemiplegia, constraint-induced movement therapy of the upper extremity has become a classic. The main difficulty of the method lies in its observance.
Objectives: Using actimeters to objectify membership protocol is proposed.
Methods: Two patients with stable paresis after stroke have received constraint-induced therapy for four weeks. Two actimeters (Actisleep ®) were placed one healthy side, the other side injured for 6 weeks, one before and one after restraint stress. A discussion with the patient is given after 3 weeks of recording. The clinical efficacy of treatment was assessed by dynamometry (Pablo ®) MESUPES and Jebsen test.
Results: For the first time, we were able to objectify the observance of the strain (80% observed for the first patient and 40% for the second patient). Quantification of movements by actimeter healthy side versus affected side was correlated with the results of motor and functional changes. Treatment despite very different adhesions was effective for both patients.
Discussion: The continuation of this study should determine the minimum level of compliance of the stress required to maintain the effectiveness of the method, while making it more tolerable as possible. It also opens a real chrono-biological perspective of movement and bi-handedness. Finally, the patient adheres more to the protocol because it knows observed and faces the quantification of stress at mid-test.
Conclusion: This new preliminary approach used here in the constraint-induced therapy of upper limb, presents actimeters as a new simple tool in the management of hemiplegia.

A single-drop DNA test, which works like a pH test for swimming pools, detects disease and gives a result in 90 minutes.
A new study suggests the test—which has successfully detected viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites in humans, crops, and cattle—could be used by health workers or farmers in the field to save lives, time, and money.
"We've been able to take what would usually be done with complicated equipment in a centralized laboratory and miniaturize it into a single drop of fluid that farmers, for example, can use to get an almost immediate result in the field," says Matt Trau, a professor at the Australian Institute for Bioengineeing and Nanotechnology at University of Queensland.
The test uses a single drop of liquid that changes color if the test is positive. In its current form, it can be made sensitive enough to detect even the smallest trace amounts of DNA or RNA, and can also scan for multiple pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and other micro-organisms that cause disease) or cancer markers.
"We can now detect as little as just a few molecules of DNA in almost any sample such as blood, saliva, or even soil," Trau says. "This part is particularly exciting for many future applications."
The test has already proved accurate in detecting human diseases such as HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and the H1N1 influenza virus. It also has detected E. coli in water, bovine herpes virus in cattle, and fusarium fungus in crops.
There are virtually no limits for potential uses for the technology, says Jimmy Botella, professor in the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences.
"This new test is especially suited for developing countries, but it will also be very useful for the Australian agricultural and livestock industries as it provides a fast method to detect diseases without the need to send samples to the laboratory.
"We expect that the technology would also be beneficial to the Australian Customs and Quarantine services and the Australian export industry as they could test produce in the packinghouse before shipping."

Decorating golf balls is an activity that can be fun for adults and children alike. Whether you're making a gift for the golfer in your life or accenting your home décor, you can use golf balls for original artwork by adding designs with permanent marker or with paint. You can also use red, black, and white paint to enhance your garden with golf ball ladybugs.
Method 1 of 3:
Decorating Golf Balls with Permanent Marker
 1. 1
 Choose a design. There are a lot of designs to choose from. Floral patterns are an easy, fun, and cute pattern to draw if you're new to decorating golf balls. You could also recreate the solar system or make minions and popular characters. You have endless options, so come up with a plan for how you will want your golf balls to look.
 - Some creative ideas include fruit, bugs and animals, holiday themes, and other types of sports balls like soccer and basket balls.[1]
 2. 2
 Gather golf balls and markers. Use quality permanent markers that won't easily rub or wash off and won't fade over time. Choose an array of colors. For color that stands out brightest on turf, look for reds and yellows.[2]
 - Gather a lot of golf balls. As you work, you may want to discard some that you don't like, or you may come up with new designs that you want to try along the way. Try as many different designs and illustrations as you like.
 - Place all materials in a cardboard box or other flat surface where the balls will not roll away.
 3. 3
 Wash the golf balls thoroughly with dish soap. Place them in a sink and scrub them with hot, soapy water to remove dirt or other elements from the surface. Dry them off with a dish towel before drawing on them with permanent marker.[3]
 4. 4
 Draw lines around the golf ball. Set the golf ball on a flat surface and hold the marker steady with the tip touching the ball. Slowly roll the golf ball for a straight line going all the way around the ball. Then move the marker to the next point on the ball where you want to draw another line.[4]
 - Lines can be decorative by themselves or they can be used as stems for flowers in a floral pattern.
 - Use different colors for a specific theme. For example, use red and green for a Christmas themed design or black and yellow to make the golf ball look like a bumblebee.
 5. 5
 Make a floral pattern on the ball. Color in the ridges on the ball with the tip of the marker. You can make a flower pattern by coloring in one ridge with one color, and each of the surrounding ridges with a brighter color.
 - This process also works well for paw prints if you use neutral colors like black and brown.
 6. 6
 Color in the ridges. Color every other ridge for a checkered pattern or color in ridges sparingly for a polka-dot pattern. You can use different colors or all one color depending on how you want your pattern to look. The technique is simple but the finished design will be fun to see. [5]
 - You can create a great piece of home décor by coloring golf balls with simple designs and placing them in a vase or frame.[6]
Method 2 of 3:
Painting Golf Balls
 1. 1
 Choose how you want your golf balls to look. You can use acrylic paint and paint brushes, or spray paint for a more solid look of one color. Depending on the design, you may need to gather a lot of golf balls. It's better to have too many golf balls than not enough as you might want to change your design along the way. Use as many golf balls as you need.
 - Knowing what type of design you want before you start can help you decide if you want spray paint or acrylic paint and what size brushes to use.
 2. 2
 Set up your workspace. Painting golf balls is best when done outdoors due to the mess and fumes. Place empty egg cartons upside down outside on a flat surface. Then place the golf balls on the egg carton to hold them firmly in place while you're working.[7]
 3. 3
 Sandpaper the golf balls. This will remove the gloss on the outer surface of the ball so that the paint will stick better. This will also help remove any dirt and grime.[8]
 4. 4
 Add primer to the golf balls. Keep them on the egg cartons and spray over the golf balls with paint primer spray. This will also ensure that the paint will stick and have a longer lasting hold. Hold away from your face as you spray, and then wait for the balls to dry.[9]
 5. 5
 Paint a solid color with spray paint. You can make a ball one solid color by placing it on the empty egg carton and spraying it with spray paint. Once it is dry, turn it over and spray the other side. If you don't have spray paint, you can also use a large brush to coat the balls with acrylic paint.
 - Once you have a solid-colored golf ball that isn't white, you can continue to create designs with a more colorful background.
 6. 6
 Use stickers and paint to make a clean-cut design. Stickers of stars, letters, flowers, and other shapes will work well for designs, initials or names when you place the sticker on the ball and paint over it with either a brush or spray paint. Allow the paint to dry before you remove stickers.[10]
 7. 7
 Use a fine brush to draw smaller designs. Use the tip of a small brush to paint intricate designs or make a floral pattern by filling in the ridges with different colors. Do this by painting one ridge a dark neutral color and each surrounding ridge a bright color.
Method 3 of 3:
Making Golf Ball Ladybugs
 1. 1
 Set up a workspace where you can paint. Outdoors is usually the best place to work due to the mess and fumes. If you will be working indoors, lay down newspaper and open a window. Lay empty egg cartons on top of the newspaper or flat surface area where you will be painting.
 - The empty egg cartons will be used to hold the golf balls while you work so that they remain steady and you can keep one hand free.[11]
 2. 2
 Sandpaper the surface of each golf ball. This will remove the gloss from the ball and any residual dirt. Golf balls have a layer of gloss on the surface that can keep paint from sticking, so it's important to make sure all the gloss is removed. After sandpapering each ball, brush off any extra sand or dust.
 3. 3
 Spray a paint primer on the balls. This is easiest to do while the balls are sitting on the upside-down egg carton. This will help to give the paint a better hold and will also help the colors look more vibrant. Allow the primer to fully dry before moving on.[12]
 4. 4
 Coat the ball with red paint. Keep the balls on the egg carton while you paint. You can use a large brush, or for an easy and solid coating you can use spray paint. Allow the red paint to fully dry before adding any black. This will prevent the black paint from running into the red paint and making a mess on the ball.[13]
 5. 5
 Paint a large black circle for the head and fill it in with black paint. Continue to draw a line from the top of the head in a semi-circle around the ball. This is the line between the two wings. Continue to use the black paint to fill in ridges on the ball for spots.[14]
 - You don't have to make a lot of black spots. Just a few will look great.
 6. 6
 Paint two small white rings inside the head of the ladybug. These will be the eyes, so put them towards the top half of the head close to the wings. At this point the design is complete, so wait for the ball to dry.[15]
 7. 7
 Add varnish to protect your new ladybug golf balls from rain and weathering. Apply the varnish with a clean brush and allow it to sit. Once the varnish is dry you can start putting them around your garden or in your flower beds.[16]
 - Try to keep them in shaded areas to avoid the color from fading quickly in the sunlight.

Vectorizing otherwise known as Tracing takes an Image (Bitmap) and traces around its pixels to create an editable and perfectly rescalable curve (path) that can either be cut out using a plotter (vinyl cutter), printed and/or exported, as shown here:
The Image Vectorizer or Vectorizer (2-Step Process)
The Software's Image Vectorizer is a dedicated utility that loads-in an image (bitmap) which you can then adjust and edit i.e. You first prepare the image as might be required, to secondly - vectorize (trace) the image using a set of filters to manipulate the resulting curves.
However, there are some basics you should become familiar with that will help you obtain good to excellent results from the artwork you are given by your clients, or that you have scanned-in, this will also save you a lot of time and frustration.

Industrial maintenance paint refers to a paint or coating that is used for the protection of industrial structures and components. These paints are primarily chosen considering their protective attributes rather than their aesthetic properties, though they can provide both.
High-performance epoxy coatings, acrylic primers, enamels and finishes can be used to produce industrial maintenance paint.
An industrial maintenance paint may also be referred to as a maintenance paint.
Corrosionpedia explains Industrial Maintenance Paint
Industrial maintenance paints are specially produced paints to protect industrial structures and components. These paints are commonly used to control the corrosion of steel structures of industrial plants; their roofs, platforms and underground pipelines. These coatings are also used as intumescent coatings for the fire resistance of industrial equipment and structures.
The environments of industries are not similar, so different types of coatings with different attributes are needed to meet the specific needs of each environment.
High-performance polymers, acrylic and primers are mainly used to produce industrial paints. Polyurethane, epoxy, moisture-cure urethane and fluoropolymer are commonly used polymers that also produce these paints. The coating produces a polymer film on the coating surface, which acts as a physical barrier between the steel substrate and the industrial corrosive environment. This polymer film protects the industrial structure and components.
As an industrial maintenance coating, high-performance epoxy coatings are ideal for structural steel, piping, tanks and equipment in chemicals, fertilizers, power plants, petroleum refineries, pulp and paper mills, and mining operations. They are also used as a filler for concrete blocks. Various waterborne acrylic coatings are also a good choice for industrial finishes.


How to use Rules in Workflows
Problem
You want to know how rules work in workflows and what they are used for.
Resolution
Rules in workflows are used for XOR Splits only.
If you process a workflow with a XOR Split you have to select one of the available routes (transitions) to the parallel Steps (in contrary to a workflow with an AND Split where every parallel Step has to be completed).
With the rule of a route you can define if this route should be displayed in the route selector or not.
The Rule must be a ECMA script located in /etc/workflow/scripts with a function check() where you can implement your logic. The function must return a boolean value.
Available objects are:
Example
A very simple example rule script would be to check if the current page in the workflow is the geometrixx company page or a childpage.
*
 * Example WF Rule.
 * ECMA function with a method called check
 *
 * This function checks if the current page in workflow is in the company tree
 * of geometrixx...
 *
 * Available Objects:
 * - workflowData:
 * - jcrSession:
 * - workflowSession:
 */
function check() {
 log.info("executing script now...");
 if (workflowData.getPayloadType() == "JCR_PATH") {
 var path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
 var node = jcrSession.getItem(path);

 if (node.getPath().indexOf("/content/geometrixx/en/company") >= 0) {
 return true;
 } else {
 return false;
 }
 } else {
 return false;
 }
}
As attachment you will find a package (ExampleRuleWorkflow-1.0-1.zip) with this script and an example workflow with one step Step 1 above the XOR Split and two parallel steps Left Stepand Right Step.
The route (transition) from Step 1 to Left Step has a Roule with the script above.
If you start the workflow you are on Step 1 and can select the route to Right Step always, independent on the current page in the workflow.
The route to Left Step is only available if the current page in the workflow is the geometrixx company page or a childpage...

THE BENEFITS OF SEA WATER
Every type of water you can imagine finds its way into our beauty routines at some point. You may not be making a conscious decision to incorporate different forms of water into your skincare regimen, but thermals, rose waters and others are ingredients in many of our face washes and sprays. That's because these waters are nutrient-rich and can ease some of our least favorite skin issues.
Did you notice that after all of those summer days at the beach and dips in the ocean your skin looked fantastic? That's not all the handy work of a bronzed face, it's the sea water that is giving you that even skin tone. Used in ancient times to naturally heal cuts and strengthen the immune system, the benefits of sea water have been most commonly associated with clear skin. Sea water is loaded with magnesium that helps your skin retain moisture and diminishes skin issues like acne and dermatitis. It can reduce joint and muscle inflammation, calm the body (bye, bye, stress), and pump your skin full of vitamins and minerals as well.
In France, they practice thalassotherapy, which uses sea water and marine botanicals in spa treatments to accomplish the body nourishments above. Luckily, a trip to France or daily ocean visits aren't necessary to enjoy the benefits. Now there are plenty of products made with sea water ingredients (like salt and botanicals) that not only give you those beach waves year round, but will also exfoliate, remove toxins, and leave your skin silky smooth.
Here are a just of few to add to your shower caddy before the season changes…
R to L: Shu Uemura Depsea Water Facial Mist, H20 Face Oasis Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser, Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash, Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub, AHAVA Dead Sea Mud Dermud Intensive Hand Cream.

One thought on "THE BENEFITS OF SEA WATER"
I've just come back home from a beach holiday, although in the UK the water looks so murky I find it hard to believe its any good for my skin! It really does look awful and dirty, I wish we had lovely blue seas and sandy beaches! Saying that, I do love the LUSH sea salt scrub and Sea Foam face scrub, my skin always picks up when i use them 🙂

Stochastic Neural Firing Properties in Neurons of a Cerebellar Control System
The cerebellar system for the voluntary control of arm-hand movements involves a large number of different neuron types. These neurons are located both inside the cerebellum but also in extracerebellar brain structures, which provide processed motor and sensory information to the cerebellum. The various different neuron types have different morphology, receive different types, number and patterns of synaptic inputs and have different firing rates and kinetics. However, a common trait for all neurons is that their firing properties have clear stochastic components, which is evident in recordings from the neurons recorded in brain preparations when all synaptic inputs is removed (in vitro). Here, we take advantage of a unique, comprehensive database of the various neuron types present within the cerebellar arm-hand control system, recorded from the brain in vivo, to provide a comparative description of their spike firing patterns. Although the inter-spike intervals for most cell types in this system can be described by a simple type of distribution characteristic for stochastic neurons, it is only for a few exceptional cases that the consecutive inter-spike intervals are independent of each other. We conclude that the spike patterns of these neurons may be the result of multi-factorial sources of variability that include the patterns in the various synaptic inputs that neurons receive in vivo and the inherent stochasticity of spike generation.

First International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 90)
In this paper we have developed a novel technique to deal with the problem of feeding a temporal variable speech signal to Multi-Layered Perceptron (MLP), which generally only accept fixed-dimension input pattern, for speech recognition. Instead of using conventional linear or nonlinear interpolation methods, this method is based on the integration of an MLP with Finite-State Vector Quantizer (FSVQ) which is characterized by the ability to memorize the correlations between successive speech feature vectors. FSVQ is designed to map the variable length input pattern into an activation trace on a set of sub-codebooks, each of which corresponds to a 'frame' input unit of the MLP. Experiments show that for the multi-speaker English Alphabet E-set task it can achieve better performance than an MLP with a non linearly interpolated input of fixed dimension.

The differences in incidence rates of Haemophilus influenzae type b disease and the variation in Hib conjugate vaccine efficacy achieved among different ethnic groups suggest genetic influences on the immune response to Hib vaccine. The serum anti-PRP antibody concentration of 43 monozygotic (MZ) and 147 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs in the Gambia was measured using a standardised Hib ELISA. Intrapair correlations for MZ and DZ twin pairs were compared and heritability in antibody responses to Hib conjugate vaccine was estimated to be 51% (95% CI: 32-66%), indicating a significant genetic contribution in the response. We conclude that genetic factors may be involved in the variation in immune response to Hib vaccine observed in different populations and may contribute to cases of vaccine failure.

Scoped registry authentication
Some organizations host their own packages on private package registries that require authentication to access. If you are an employee or customer of one of those organizations, you must configure a scoped registry with npm authentication. To set this up, get an npm authentication token and then add that token to your user configuration file.
Fetching the npm authentication token
The process of creating and accessing an npm authentication token is different for each registry provider. For example, JFrog's Bintray and Artifactory repository managers use a different procedure to generate the authentication token from npm. This is an example of a typical procedure, but you need to follow the process recommended by the specific package registry provider for your scoped registry.
To fetch an authentication token from npm:
 1. Install npm locally on your machine.
 2. From a terminal, enter this command to log into the registry:
 $ npm login --registry <registry url>
 3. Locate and open the generated .npmrc file.
 4. Locate either the _authToken or the _auth entry and copy its value (see the example below).
 Depending on the registry, the token string can be either a GUID, a token, or a proprietary-formatted string.
Examples of .npmrc files
This is an example of an .npmrc file containing an _authToken attribute:
registry=_URL_
//example.com:1234/mylocation/:_authToken=<AUTH TOKEN>
This is an example of an .npmrc file containing an_auth attribute:
registry=_URL_
_auth=<AUTH TOKEN>
email=<EMAIL>
always-auth=true
Configuring authentication information
Store your token information for each scoped registry that requires authentication in the .upmconfig.toml user configuration file using the npmAuth configuration schema. Once you save this information to the configuration file, Package Manager will provide your authentication information on every request made to each registry in the file.
Follow these instructions to add your authentication information to the user configuration file:
 1. Locate the .upmconfig.toml user configuration file. If the file does not already exist, create an empty text file.
 2. Format your authentication information using a schema, depending on whether you are using a Bearer (token-based) or Basic (Base64-encrypted) authentication mechanism:
[npmAuth."<REGISTRY URL>"]
<TOKEN-PROPERTY> = "<TOKEN-VALUE>"
email = "<EMAIL>"
alwaysAuth = <BOOLEAN>
This table clarifies how to specify the configuration file values:
Entry: 설명:
[npmAuth."<REGISTRY URL>"] Required. URL for the registry. For example, [npmAuth."_URL_
<TOKEN-PROPERTY> = "<TOKEN-VALUE>" Required. The authentication token generated from the npm registry. This could be either a GUID, a token, or a proprietary-formatted string. For example, this could be either token = "<AUTH TOKEN>" (Bearer) or _auth = "<BASE64 TOKEN>" (Basic).
email Optional. Email address for the user matching the user's email on the registry.
alwaysAuth Optional. Set to true if the package metadata and tarballs are not located on the same server. Typically, you can copy the value from the .npmrc file you generated.
Example using Bearer authentication
[npmAuth."http://localhost:8081/myrepository/mylocation"]
token = "NpmToken.2348c7ea-6f86-3dbe-86b6-f257e86569a8"
alwaysAuth = true
[npmAuth."http://localhost:4873"]
token = "eaJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyZWFsX2dyb3VwcyI6WyJwYXNjYWxsIl0sIm5hbWUiOiJwYXNjYWxsIiwiZ3JvdXBzIjpbInBhc2NhbGwiLCIkYWxsIiwiJGF1dGhlbnRpY2F0ZWQiLCJAYWxsIiwiQGF1dGhlbnRpY2F0ZWQiLCJhbGwiLCJwYXNjYWxsIl0sImlhdCI6MTU3NDY4ODQ5MCwibmJmIjoxNTc0Njg4NDkxLCJleHAiOjE1Nzk4NzI0OTB9.qF8_0ue1ppraWLkReT06AMG6R7RZuDiV2XinxMkdSo0"

De Maillet was a French diplomat and traveller, whose posthumous work Telliamed (his name spelled backwards) was published in 1748. A cosmogony, covering the creation and pre-history of the Earth, it argued that all rocks and all forms of life had their origin in a diminishing ocean. He considered the Earth to be more than 2 billion years old. De Maillet's belief in mermaids and mermen made his book an object of easy ridicule by later naturalists.

Visualization of water surface using GPU
MetadataShow full item record
Several methods for simulating a body of water and a water surface has been investigated. A method by Layton & van de Panne based on a simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations was selected. A number of simplifications was made to increase the performance of the method, and it was implemented on the programmable graphical processing unit (GPU) using the Jacobi method to solve the linear equations. A conjugate gradient solver was also implemented on the GPU. The performance of the methods were measured and recorded.

The Trigger Man is a unique trigger/gate sequencer module with a revolutionary interface that enables you to create any sequence with just two knobs.
There are 8 outputs and each sequence consists of up to 8 steps per output. It has 8 pattern memories (sets of 8X8 sequences), which can be played back in any order and chained into a series of patterns up to 100 patterns long. There are even two CV input jacks to control the sequences, patterns, or tempo. All of this fits in a very compact 8 HP wide module.
The Trigger Man is a great companion to the Delptronics LDB-2e Analog Drums Eurorack Module.
The Trigger Man is now even more powerful with the Version 2 firmware update! We added tons of great new features in the same hardware. There are so many new features, the user manual is twice as long. And yet, we kept the basic functionality the same. So you can explore the more advanced features at your leisure.
If you already own a Trigger Man, find out how to get the update.

- If you do not have a PIC programmer, you can purchase one fairly cheaply. Details are on the next page.
- Note that if you live outside the United States, it will be cheaper and faster to buy a PIC programmer and do the update yourself, rather than to pay and wait for international shipping.
How do I know which version firmware I have?
If you purchased your module before December 1st 2014, then you have V1.
To verify, you can go into Action Mode (press and hold the Mode button), and turn knob 1.
You have V1 if the step LEDs change from 1 to 4 to 8 illuminated LEDs in 3 clicks.
You have V2 If the step LEDs change from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, etc to 8 illuminated LEDs in 8 clicks.
This patch was built entirely around the Delptronics Trigger Man which is a unique trigger/gate sequencer module with a 8HP format. The idea was to take 8 different patterns consisting of 8 steps for each of the 8 outputs. Then run the trigger man in pattern play mode using the VC input to determine the currently playing pattern. The 8 patterns where programmed to flow into each other in sort of a quasi random string...

Verbal Reasoning Book 3
Out of Stock
Verbal Reasoning book 3 covers the final 10 topics, providing an explanation of how to attempt the question and further practice questions.
These books introduce 10 styles of verbal reasoning questions with a clear 'how to' section including instructions of how to tackle each topic with examples to help. It also includes 20 practise questions per topic that finishes with self-assessment from the child reflecting on their confidence with each topic that is then recorded in the final pages of the book in the form of a tally chart for parents to check at a glance. (For comprehensive understanding of verbal reasoning we recommend working through VR books 1, 2,3 before progressing onto the further practise books.)


and optimizations that detect that the property is being overwritten by another animation and does something smart about it, but this is how we can think of the work being done by the render server.
model value implicit explicit composite
A breakdown of how the render server applies the implicit and explicit animations when the model is updated first
For the case where the model is updated last, the implicit animation is added after the explicit animation. This means that in the beginning of the animation, the explicit animation sets its intermediate values and the implicit animation overwrites it with its own intermediate values. When the implicit animation finishes and is removed, the explicit animation is still just in the beginning, so for the next frame the property will be perceived as returning to an earlier value but it is actually showing the correct value for the explicit animation for that time. Just as before, when it's only the explicit animation left, it runs until completion at which point we are left seeing the model values. This animation doesn't look right at all.
model value explicit implicit composite
So, which of the two is it best practice to update the model value?
It's actually a trick question because the answer it both neither place and either place. The best practice is actually to do the same thing as UIView is doing and disable the implicit animation. If we do that, then it doesn't matter it we update the model before or after. It's just personal preference. That said: I still like to update the model first:
var myAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "position.x")
myAnimation.fromValue = oldValue // still the current model value
// if you want to be explicit about the toValue you can set it here
myAnimation.duration = 1.0
view.layer.position.x = newValue // now there is a new model value
view.layer.addAnimation(myAnimation, forKey: "move along X")
As pointed out on twitter, another way to achieve the correct behavior is to update the model first and use the key path as the key when adding the explicit animation. This works because the implicit animations already uses the key paths when added to the layer, meaning that the explicit animation cancel out the implicit animation.
I still prefer to use a transaction because I think that it's clearer what it does. The task is to disable the implicit animation and the transaction does that directly by disabling the actions. To me, that is pretty much self documenting code.
Additive animations
It can seem odd to allow multiple animations for the same key path when it results in either strange animations or calculated values that are never seen, but it is actually what enables one of the more flexible and powerful features of CAAnimations: "additive" animations. Instead of overwriting the value in the render tree, an additive animation adds to the value. It wouldn't make sense to configure this one animation to be additive and change the model value at the same time. The model would update to its new value right away and the additive animation would add to that:
model value additive composite
An illustration of what would happen if the explicit animation from before was made additive
Instead we would use a regular animation to perform the transition between the old and new values and then use additive animations to make changes to the animation as it is happening. This can be used to create very dynamic animations and even add to an ongoing animation. For example, to make a small deviation from the straight path between two points:
model value regular additive composite
An illustration of how an additive animation adds to another animation
let deviate = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "position.y")
deviate.additive = true
deviate.toValue = 10
deviate.fromValue = 0
deviate.duration = 0.25
deviate.autoreverses = true
deviate.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: "easeInEaseOut")
deviate.beginTime = CACurrentMediaTime() + 0.25
This little trick can be used to acknowledge a users touch during an ongoing animation since it can be added to the running animation at any point.
Multiple additive animations can also be used together to create really complex animations that would be very difficult to with just a single animation:
model value regular additive additive composite additive
A complex animation created using multiple additive animations
For example, two keyframe animations with different paths can be combined to create an animation where one path loops around the other path, in this case a circle that loops around a heart:
A repeating animation of one path (a circle) looping while following another path (a heart)
There really isn't much code to such a complex animation but you can imagine how hard it would be to generate a single path for the same type of animation.
let followHeartShape = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: "position")
followHeartShape.additive = true
followHeartShape.path = heartPath
followHeartShape.duration = 5
followHeartShape.repeatCount = HUGE
followHeartShape.calculationMode = "paced"
let circleAround = CAKeyframeAnimation(keyPath: "position")
circleAround.additive = true
circleAround.path = circlePath
circleAround.duration = 0.275
circleAround.repeatCount = HUGE

For some inexplicable reason I completely missed Session 236: "Building Interruptible and Responsive Interactions" (from WWDC 2014) when I first wrote this post. It also talks about additive animations and the role they play in iOS 8 to create UIKit animations that can seamlessly transition from one to the other. As mentioned in that video, the very same technique can be applied to any CAAnimation.
This works by updating the model value and creating additive animations that animate to zero from minus the difference between the new and old values. The result of one such animation looks just like the regular, smooth transition. When the animation starts out, the model value is updated by full change is subtracted meaning that the rendered value is back at its old value. As the animation progresses the subtracted value becomes smaller and smaller until it becomes zero when the animation finishes and the rendered value is the new model value.
What makes this so powerful is that if the model value changes during the animation, the first animation can continue until it's contribution becomes zero while a new, similarly constructed additive animation is added on top of it. During the time that both animations are running, the contribution from the first animation becomes smaller and smaller while the contribution from the second animation becomes larger and larger. This makes it look like the animation is adjusting it's target on the fly while maintaing momentum, taking some time to fully change its course.

A breakdown of how additive animations can be used to seamlessly transition from one animation to the other
The result is pretty astonishing and a great example of the kind of interaction that can be created using additive animations.
Note: the animations in the above illustration (and all the other illustrations) are linear. Visualizing easing would have made the illustrations more complex, but without easing there will be a noticeable change in velocity when transitioning between animations. The animations below uses easing to show what the real end result looks like.

Perhaps what's most impressive is how little code it takes. We calculate the difference between the old and new value and use the negative difference as the from values (in this case I calculated the negative difference directly by subtracting the new value from the old value) and the use "zero" as the to value.
let animation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "position")
animation.additive = true // an additive animation
let negativeDifference = CGPoint(
 x: layer.position.x - touchPoint.x,
 y: layer.position.y - touchPoint.y
// from "-(new-old)" to "zero" (additive)
animation.fromValue = NSValue(CGPoint: negativeDifference)
animation.toValue = NSValue(CGPoint: CGPointZero)
animation.duration = 1.5
animation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: "easeInEaseOut")
I made a small sample project that can be downloaded from here if you want to compare the interaction for yourself.
Additive animations isn't used all that often but can be a great tool both for rich interaction and complex animations. The new playgrounds in Xcode 6 is a great way of experimenting with additive animations. Until XCPlayground becomes available for iOS, you can create an OS X playground and use XCPShowView() to display a live preview of the animating view. Note that views behave differently on iOS and OS X, but stand alone layers work the same.
If you want to use the playground with heart and circle animations as a starting point, it can be downloaded from here.
Just because I couldn't resists doing so, this is a visualization of what happens when an animation isn't removed upon completion. That is one reason to avoid removedOnCompletion in the common case but the main reason is still that it the model value no longer reflects what't on screen, something that can lead to many strange bugs:
model value not removed animation finishes composite

Home Fruits & Vegetables Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's lnfluenza Vaccine
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's lnfluenza Vaccine
by Andreea Laza
Recent research place elderberry tincture (Sambucus nigra L.) in the forefront of the strongest immune system boosters.
Did you know that these simple black berries are a major competitor for mainstream influenza and flu vaccines?
It is true. Perhaps this is the reason why, there's been a lot of internet rumors lately stating that elderberry tincture can be harmful against the coronavirus, or COVID-19.
We have written an article about ways to protect against and prevent coronavirus infections COVID-19, that you can check below.
👉 3 Natural Ways to Prevent Coronavirus COVID-19 Infection
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19?
But is elderberry tincture actually dangerous to use to prevent the coronavirus (COVID-19) infection? The claim is that elderberry tincture (as well as NSAIDs: Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Naproxyn, etc) overstimulates the production of cytokines. This creates a so-called cytokine storm, that may actually aggravated the symptoms, because COVID19 causes respiratory failure via a cytokine response/release.
What are cytokines?
They are signaling molecules produces by the immune system. These cells that have the ability to activate the immune system against pathogens. According to a 2011 study, elderberry tincture activates the immune system by increasing inflammatory cytokine production.
OK, but does this mean that elderberry tincture is actually bad for COVID-19?
We couldn't agree more with Donnie Yance, Clinical Master Herbalist. He explained in an extensive and thorough article why elderberry tincture is not bad for COVID-19. He states that herbs don't overstimulate the cytokines release, for most part, as synthetic drugs do. Also, he provides evidence for why elderberry tincture preparations can actually help relieve symptoms associated with SARS COVID-19.
We really recommend that you read his whole article of elderberry tincture for COVID-19 here.
It is a bit harsh to put together natural elderberry tincture extract with synthetic medication such as Ibuprofen. We all that synthetic drugs come with many side-effects. The reason is that herbs and herbal extracts are always more biological friendly to the human body. They come from nature and our bodies use them better.
The claim that elderberry tincture is bad for COVID-19 has not been backed yet by any studies. Hence, there is no evidence that taking elderberry tincture can worsen COVID-19. Allopathic medicine knows little or nothing about herbal remedies to make such bold claims.
Is Elderberry Tincture Bad for COVID-19? Nature's Antiviral Vaccine.
Elderberry Tincture, an Alternative for Influenza Vaccine?
Elderberry tincture can actually be a natural alternative to influenza vaccine. Let me explain why.
It seems that elderberry really has something special about it. The action of these berries is so far unique in the world. No other synthetic or natural medicine has yet reached such performances.
First-hand researchers around the world have been working for more than ten years on studies on elderberry tincture. These studies have gained an overwhelming importance, given humanity is increasingly threatened by a spectrum of life-threatening diseases such as AIDS, SARS, cancer and leukemia, etc.
They have shown that elderberry extract makes a great alternative to the latest generation antiviral drugs. Scientists claim that elderberry extract could inhibit the replication of 11 strains of the influenza virus and increase cytokines production. It is capable of neutralizing the most dangerous microbes and greatly increasing the natural defense of the body.
Elderberry tincture can also help cure and prevent the majority of degenerative diseases, including cancer, and prolong biological youth.
In a word, yes, a cure with elderberry extract or tincture can be a natural alternative to influenza vaccines. And also save one of the hazards related to the a heavy metals and other toxins loaded influenza vaccines.

How to Use Elderberry Tincture to Prevent Influenza and Viral Infections
The substances contained in the elderberries block the infection of the healthy cells by the influenza viruses. This simple tincture can stop the installation of disease, both in its early stages as well as the advanced ones.
For prevention against influenza viruses, including the coronavirus, the best time to follow an elderberry cure is during the autumn, when the berries are harvested. Given that we have elderberry tincture available all year round, this is not the case anymore.
Elderberry Tincture Prevention and Cure
During the influenza epidemics you can follow a 2 weeks cure with elderberry tincture to prevent getting sick.
 - 2-3 tablespoons of elderberry tincture per day, in a cup of water – for prevention.
 - 2-4 tablespoons of elderberry tincture per day, for 7-10 days in a row – if the flu is already installed.
The healing from influenza will be much faster. In addition, elderberry tincture diminishes symptoms related to influenza, including:

Other Conditions Elderberry Tincture is Good For
Elderberry Tincture Side Effects
Laxative Effect. Elderberry tincture should be used cautiously in large doses (over 2 tablespoons a day). The reason is that it has a strong laxative and purgative effect, and can accelerate the intestinal transit. Except for the cases in which you use elderberry tincture to lose weight or relieve constipation. In these cases, it is recommended to take 1 to 2 teaspoons of common lady's mantle powder (Alchemilla vulgaris) or oak bark powder (Quercus sp.) daily alongside the tincture, to keep the intestinal transit under control.
Diarrhea and Fermentation Colitis. Elderberry tinctures and juice should be used carefully by patients suffering from acute or chronic diarrhea, and fermentation colitis.
Sensitive Colon. People with a sensitive colon or frequently suffer from bloating should take certain spices with a carminative and anti-inflammatory bowel role: fennel seeds, cumin seeds, basil, mint alongside elderberry tincture.
Toxicity. Elderberries are very powerful as a remedy, and like any medicine ingested in too high a dose, it can give have some side effects. These side-effects include: vomiting, heartburn, inflammation of the throat, difficulty breathing. One can experiment these symptoms when having 200 grams of fresh elderberries/juice or 300 grams of elderberry tincture per day.

Why This World
A Biography of Clarice Lispector
Why This World by Benjamin Moser
Add to cart
US$ 12.99
That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector is one of the most popular but least understood of Latin American writers. Now, after years of research on three continents, drawing on previously unknown manuscripts and dozens of interviews, Benjamin Moser demonstrates how Lispector's art was directly connected to her turbulent life. Born amidst the horrors of post-World War I Ukraine, Clarice's beauty, genius, and eccentricity intrigued Brazil virtually from her adolescence. Why This World tells how this precocious girl, through long exile abroad and difficult personal struggles, matured into a great writer, and asserts, for the first time, the deep roots in the Jewish mystical tradition that make her both the heir to Kafka and the unlikely author of "perhaps the greatest spiritual autobiography of the twentieth century." From Ukraine to Recife, from Naples and Berne to Washington and Rio de Janeiro, Why This World shows how Clarice Lispector transformed one woman's struggles into a universally resonant art.

Can Drones Auto Rotate?
Can Drones Auto-rotate
Have you ever ask yourself what could happen to your drone if the battery runs out of energy while you are flying? So if that happens, can your drone (quadcopter) auto rotate, and why is it so important to know before buying a drone? For someone who thinks to invest in any type of drone this is the question that people want to know the answer. Drones that are capable of auto rotating are also less likely to become damaged in a crash unlike those who do not have this feat. So let's explain this.
Can Drones Auto Rotate? The drones that are on the market don't have the autorotation state because of their fixed-pitch rotors. Also, auto rotation is not a possibility for commercial drones. To have auto rotation, the rotors must be variable pitch in order for auto-rotation to become possible.
Drones that can't auto rotate will most likely damage in a crash, unlike the ones that are capable of auto rotate (and very few have this option). So if something happens in the air while you are flying a drone, there is a much greater chance that you will succeed to land that drone safely to the ground. Every drone that have fixed pitch design of the rotors will not be capable of auto rotating. If drone loses power in the air, while it is in flight, it will crash into the ground.
What is Autorotation?
Drone AutoRotation
Autorotation is a condition where the rotor blades are being driven by an upwards flow of air, rather than by engine power. The blades rotate automatically. Why is that important? It gives a helicopter pilot the ability to have a controlled glide to the ground if an engine does fail. Autorotation state is when we've lowered the collective and the direction of flight is changing to down, and now the rotor is having an upwards flow, rather then a downwards flow of air. And this is called entering an auto rotate of state at this point. From here we're coming closer and closer to the ground. The most common use of autorotation in helicopters or for drones is to safely land the aircraft in the event of an engine failure or tail-rotor failure.
How Drone Propellers Actually Work?
One of the very common terms when we talk about drones is propeller thrust. So what does the propeller thrust mean in terms of speed and how physics affects it? Simply, drone thrust is the sum of the upward force that your drone gives when at full speed. With that you can determine how much the drone can lift by the thrust a drone generates. Drone thrust must be greater than the weight of the drone, for that drone to take off and actually fly. When a drone propeller is in a moving situation, the thrust changes. When the drone throttle is at 100% the prop will be at maximum thrust. To know how much thrust your drone will give for a given propeller, you have to test the motor thrust or read the instructions that manufacturers provide for your drone. But in reality, what to expect is to see 5 to 10% less thrust in real flight as compared to the bench tests. The more thrust drone provides, the better acceleration is, what provides greater impulse for the drone. Physics Behind How Drones Fly for those who want to know more.
Can a Passenger Drone Perform auto-rotation?
When we talk about passanger drones, the best known among them is Ehang 184. This is the world's first electric passenger drone and started with commercial services in July 2017. EHang 184 uses 8 electric motors to power 8 propellers which can carry one person weighing up to 100kg. But what if there is a failure, can such a passenger drone auto-rotate and make a safe landing? Like we said Ehang 184 is an X-8 multi-rotor drone, which means it has 4 points of thrust, and each of them is consisting with 2 motor-propellers, one "tractor" propeller and one "pusher."
This means if any of the motors dies, the drone won't flip and crash to the ground, although it would need to land rather quickly. The problem with Ehang 184 is that he has fixed-pitch rotors which is optimized for thrust and not for auto-rotation. And when it comes to absence of power, those rotors won't autorotate. In the end they will stop rotating "in the normal mode" and start to rotate in the "opposite mode." That opposite mode will cause drag and some deceleration of the fall, but it will not do the same thing as an autorotation, which is a different condition. There are still no regulations, but Taxi drone are not allowed yet in the US and in most countries around the World. The reason for that is that FAA regulations prevent it from being legally tested in the US for now. Only in Dubai they are testing the Civil Aviation Authority Drones with Ehang, and they are in testing mode.
How to Design a Drone To Have Auto Rotation?
Drones have one major problem, and that is if their motors fail, they could plummet out of the sky and hit us on the head. So how to solve this problems? One of the option is to equip drones with parachutes, but that is very complex thing for a small UAV. But some of the scientists tried to come up with another solution, and that is a US patent called "Meteodrone", where at least 2 of the drone's four symmetrically-arranged propeller arms are flat and twisted. Therefore when drone's motor fail, and the drone starts falling, those arms will act as passive lift elements, and it will cause the drone to spin horizontally. It would help drone to stay stabilized. Example is shown on the picture above.
How Do Drones Fly?
Rotor Direction. The drone is a quadcopter which has 4 rotors that are all connected to individual motors, allowing them to move at different speeds. The two diagonal rotors will rotate clockwise, while the other two diagonal motors will rotate anti-clockwise. The two opposite rotations balance out and keep the drone steady. So if all the rotors were to spin in the same direction, it would result in a net Torque causing the complete quadcopter to rotate. When the rotors spin together, they push down on the air and the air pushes back up on the rotors. When the rotors spin fast the drone lifts up into the sky, and when the rotors slow down the drone will descend towards the ground.
Drone Rotation. When you want the drone to turn, you slow down two of the diagonal motors and you speed up the other two diagonal motors. Remember how the motors next to each other are spinning in opposite directions, so by slowing down two going in one direction and speeding up two going in the other direction. The faster the propellers rotate, the faster the drone will take off from the ground. The lift will remain constant so the drone doesn't change height, but the angular momentum in increased so the drone will turn in place.
Forward / Backward. If you want the drone to move forwards or backwards, you slow down two rotors on one side of the drone and speed up the two rotors on the other side. The drone tips slightly toward the slower side and move in that direction. This is according to Newton's 3th law of motion that every action has an equal but opposite reaction. If you want to move sideways or backwards, we just use the same principle on the other sides of the drone.
Conclusion
The conclusion of all this is that the design of drone is different than that of a helicopter, and one of the key things that is different is fix-pitch rotor. So if something happens in the air while you are flying a drone, there is a much greater chance that you will succeed to land that drone safely to the ground. Because of that drones can't auto rotate in the air with their fixed-pitch rotors, and this is a major problem because they are not able to land safely if something goes wrong. The reason why drones can't have autorotation is that rotors must be variable pitch in order to auto rotate, and most drones are don't have this design feature. If you decide to create your own drone that have the ability to auto-rotate, then you have to be prepared to spend a extra money for that. Cheaper versions of drones certainly don't have that options. And remember, if you have any questions about this topic, just leave a comment below.

On 27 March 1933 The Change of Name Act was proclaimed in Saskatchewan. This was the first legislation in the province to formalize the process of legally changing one's name. It allowed for anyone over the age of twenty-one years to apply for a change of name. However, certain restrictions applied. No married woman could, during the lifetime of her husband, change her surname as acquired from him; and no married man could apply to change his surname or the given names of his wife, or of their unmarried children under the age of twenty-one, without the wife's consent.
Formal application for a change of name under the 1933 legislation was to be made to the Provincial Secretary. The application was to state the full name of the applicant, the place of residence, and where necessary the full name of his wife as well as full names and ages of minor children, along with the proposed change of name(s). A notice of this application was then published in The Saskatchewan Gazette and a newspaper circulating in the district where the applicant resided. Once the name change had been approved, the Certificate of Change of Name was also published in The Gazette and the local newspaper. It should be noted, though, that the Certificate did not give the ages of minor children as the published notice of application did.
By an amendment to the Act in 1941, people who had lawfully changed their names in jurisdictions outside of Saskatchewan could apply to the Provincial Secretary for Saskatchewan to have that change registered here. That notice would then be published in The Saskatchewan Gazette. The Act was again changed in 1947 so that applications were thereafter to be made to the Director of Vital Statistics. The 1947 amendment stipulated that a married or widowed person over the age of eighteen years could now change his/her name as well. Also, the written consent of a child of fourteen years of age or older was required to change his/her name. As of June that year the Certificate of Change of Name was no longer published in The Gazette, so there is no way of knowing from that source whether or not the application was successful after that date.
The Saskatchewan Gazette is therefore an important, comprehensive source of information regarding all formal applications for changes of name in the province from 1933. However, it had also been used on an intermittent basis to give notice of changes of name as far back as 1917.
The index following this introduction appears in two alphabetical series: one by the original name and another by the new name, as they appeared in The Saskatchewan Gazette. This index will, we feel, be a useful genealogical tool for those who have lost contact with relatives moving into the province, where the name changed subsequent to the move, and for those who, not realizing there has been a change of name, are trying to trace the origins of their families. Researchers using the index are encouraged to consult the original entries in The Gazette in either office of the Saskatchewan Archives Board, since there is often additional information in the published notices, such as ages of minor children and street addresses for instance, that could not be included in the index. It should also be noted that notices of application for change of name continue to be published in The Gazette to the present day, even though this index (rather arbitrarily) stops at the end of 1950.
The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society in publishing this index wishes to acknowledge with thanks the assistance of D'Arcy Hande and the Saskatchewan Archives Board, Debbie Moyer of the Saskatoon Branch (SGS) and Rae Chamberlain of the Biggar Branch (SGS).

What is SCIM?
Smart Common Input Method platform, in short SCIM, is a development platform to make Input Method developer life easier. It honors a very clear architecture and provides a pretty simple and powerful programming interface.
There are many Input Method programs and platforms living in the world, such as XIM, IIIMF, UIM, kinput, XCIN, Chinput etc. Then why we do want another Input Method platform?
First of all, SCIM is a common IM platform written in C++. It abstracts input method interface into several classes and try to make these classes as simple and independent as possible. With such simple interfaces, developers can write their own input method in a few lines code very easily.
Second, SCIM is highly modularized: most components can be implemented as dynamically loadable modules, thus can be loaded at runtime as you wish. For example, input methods written for SCIM could be IMEngine modules, and users can use such IMEngine modules combined with different interface modules (FrontEnd) in different environment without rewrite/recompile the IMEngine modules.
Third, SCIM is a higher level library comparing with XIM or IIIMF.It has much simpler interface than XIM and IIIMF. And it can work with XIM or even IIIMF (in the future). SCIM can also support client specific input method interface, like gtk2 immodule and qt immodule.
Key features of SCIM:
* Fully Object Oriented structure written in C++. * Highly modularized. * Very flexible architecture, can be used as a dynamically loaded library as well as a C/S input method environment. * Simple programming interface. * Fully i18n support with UCS-4/UTF-8 encoding. * Include many handy utility functions to speedup the development. * GUI Panel with very rich features. * Unified configuration framework.
The goal of SCIM:
* Act as an unified frontend for current available input method libraries. Currently bindings to uim and m17n library are available. * Act as a language engine of IIIMF input method framework (TBD). * Provide as many native IMEngines as possible. * Support as many input method protocol/interface as possible. * Support as many operating systems as possible.
