March 8, 2012 - People in Texas don't always know what to think about the plastic-covered "high tunnels" that Russ Wallace manages for Texas AgriLife Extension outside of Lubbock. Sometimes they ask him how his "wind tunnels" are doing. Others compliment him on his greenhouses.
"We get plenty of wind in Lubbock, but they are not wind tunnels," Wallace said. "They're not exactly greenhouses, either."
To the untrained eye, high tunnels, or hoop houses as they are sometimes called, look a lot like greenhouses. The fact that they are used to grow fruits and vegetables reinforces the notion, but high tunnels are not heated and don't have electricity or cement floors. The crops are planted directly into the soil or in raised beds. Growers can even drive a small tractor right inside.
Texans can be excused for not knowing what to call high tunnels. In a country that is tenth in the world in the number of high tunnels in use, Texas ranks near the bottom in the number of high tunnels being used in the United States. Wallace's work for Extension is part of a research and Extension project funded through a U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crops Research Initiative grant. Similar work is also being conducted at Texas Tech, Washington State University, and Western Washington University along with private industries and regional growers.
Wallace, a vegetable and weed specialist with Extension, is from upstate New York and never suspected that his dream job would be on the arid and windy South Plains of Texas. The wind is a constant fact of life on the South Plains, and the cost and amount of work required to maintain a productive high tunnel generally increases in relation to how much wind a tunnel has to endure. Since crops inside a high tunnel are not exposed to rain - unless the plastic tears, which is another issue completely - some kind of irrigation system is a must.
Much of the labor and cost comes from buying and assembling a hoop house. "It's important to have at least one person reading the directions," Wallace notes. Costs can vary from 25 cents per square foot to $300. In windy areas, the extra money is usually worth the cost because maintenance and repair costs will be lower with higher quality materials.
That was evident last year when Lubbock was hit by a massive dust storm that rose 1,800 feet in the air and was seven counties wide with sustained winds of more than 70 miles per hour. The plastic covering Wallace's hoop houses suffered a tear about 25 feet long.
"I was pretty impressed with that," Wallace said. "I wouldn't have been too surprised if had just blew away."
The benefits can be considerable. Wallace has found that the high tunnels extend the growing season, especially for farmers market growers. Strawberries in particular have done well in his high tunnels - 880 percent better. Berries were planted in the hoop houses during fall of last year and harvesting began Feb. 21. Strawberries planted in the field weren't harvested until April 5. One variety of strawberries, Festival, produced $2,650 in revenue per high compared to $262 for the same variety of berries grown in the field. Results with other varieties had similar results.
"In our area anyway, there's really no point in growing strawberries outside," Wallace said. "We spent a little over $8,000. Depending on the crop, you can pay it off in a year. But it is more labor intensive Be prepared to have an increased work load. The advantage is that your pants mature faster and produce more."
Greg Coley, a grower who also runs three farmers markets in Central Texas, said he is in the process of constructing a hoop house because more of his markets are now selling produce year-round.
"I'm looking at growing strawberries in them, and maybe some heirloom tomatoes," he said. "The idea is fairly new to a lot of growers here, but I think it can pay off if you grow the right things at the right time for your market."
High tunnels come withotherdrawbacks. Leaf and root diseases can flourish in the warm and protected environment, and insect pests are likely to show up earlier and stay longer than they do in the fields. Coley said he plans to combat that problem primarily with a rigorous rotation of crops hoop and with solarization, which essentially allows the heat to build up until it burns the pests.
Wallace said his original intent was to grow produce inside the high tunnels organically, but he has since used some chemicals to combat disease and pest problems. "With organics, the growth is so good that you get more diseases growing inside than out. We don't get a lot of weed pressure because it's dry except for where the plants are growing," he said.

Big Idea: Jerry the Bear is a robotic teddy bear that "has" diabetes. Children are able to take care of Jerry by checking his blood glucose levels, giving him "insulin shots" and "feeding" him a variety of foods.
Why It's Working: Targeted specifically to children living with type 1 diabetes, Jerry helps sick kids not only learn about the procedures that are performed on them daily but also empowers them to understand the importance of symptom-checking and self-care.
People with type 1 diabetes, a lifelong genetic condition that prevents the accurate breakdown of glucose in the blood, rely on a steady amount of insulin to be delivered to their bodies every day. Since young children cannot manage an insulin pump, test their own glucose or deliver their own injections, parents with diabetic children must administer at least 3 finger-sticking blood glucose checks and frequent insulin injections every day to ensure diabetes is managed. For a five-year-old child, that's a lot of boo-boos in the name of love.
Enter Jerry the Bear, a fully interactive robotic teddy bear with type 1 diabetes and the brainchild of Northwestern students and Design for America fellows Aaron Horowitz and Hannah Chung. Horowitz, now CEO for the duo's company Sproutel, explains that Jerry the Bear was inspired by the teddy bears children often get after their diabetes diagnosis.

Marcel Gimond
Marcel Gimond exhibition at the 'Château-Musée' of Tournon-sur-Rhône
Marcel Gimond (1894–1961) was a French sculptor born in the Ardèche region of France. Gimond first studied at the Beaux-Arts Academy in Lyon and was the student in turn of both Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin. Gimond was an influential Professor at the Paris École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts until 1960. He was uniquely invited to exhibit his modelled busts at both the salon and with the surrealists.
Garlanded with the Grand Prix National des Arts in 1957, Gimond, who was the son of a metal-worker, is considered to be France's last great portraitist or sculptor of the bust. Gimond is known for his many Heads and Portraits of Political and Artistic figures and his distinctive bronze busts are to be seen in numerous museums in France, Luxembourg and in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Surging in Gen 3 Prius Causes: 5 Reasons With Solutions
In this article, we list the surging in Gen 3 Prius causes, an event that is quite common among Prius cars. We also suggest the relevant solutions for the same.
If you drive a Toyota Gen-3 Prius and you did your research before the purchase, you would know that a lot of these cars have a surging problem.
In fact, an engine surge can be a major problem in any kind of car because it causes trouble with your car's speeds when you are driving.
Have you thought about why your Prius is having a surging problem? Today, let us tell you what causes the problem and what you can do about it.
Surging in Gen 3 Prius Causes
What Is Surging In A Car?
Engine surge in a car is a situation when your car starts moving at a stable speed but starts showing speed surge or misfiring within a few minutes.
Surging is considered one of the first signs of combustion problems.
There is a wide variety of reasons for engine surges in a car. From ignition problems to wiring issues and damaged spark plugs, it can be difficult to pinpoint what is causing your engine to surge.
But it is a warning that there is some problem with the engine's electrical components which needs to be checked immediately.
Symptoms Of Surging In A Prius
If you drive a Gen 3 Prius, there are a few signs of engine surge that you should know about. Here are the common things you should look out for:
 - Sudden change in engine speed while driving steady at a steady speed
 - Drop in the speed when the car is coming to a stop
 - Very high engine speeds followed by a sudden drop in speed
 - Sensor malfunctions in the car while driving, including acceleration failure
Some of these problems can be traced back to an engine oil issue or the catalytic convertor running into trouble.
There are a number of reasons that these symptoms could occur in your car. Knowing what is causing the problem can help you before you take your car to an auto shop.
Why Does Engine Surge Occur In A Prius?
The Prius Gen-3 has had more reports of an engine surge than other Prius models. The problem is caused by a variety of reasons, from air filter problems to vacuum leaks.
Some of these have a simple solution, while others may need a more internal component problem and needs to be checked out by a professional.
Here are some of the main causes of the engine surging in your Prius that you should consider if you see the symptoms:
Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold
Vacuum leaks are a common problem in many cars that can become the main cause of engine surges. Vehicles with an intake manifold will be affected easily by vacuum leaks if not checked early on.
There are a few things you have to check when checking for vacuum leaks to make sure where the damage is done:
 - Hose damage and connections
 - EGR valves
 - Fuel pressure regulators
 - Any kind of contamination in the valves
Issues With The Fuel Pressure Regulator
If there is a problem with the fuel pressure regulator of the car, the fuel pump of the car can be affected.
When there are symptoms of engine surge in your car, replace the air filters or get them checked during maintenance.
The correct fuel pressure can solve the problem of engine surge, but if not, there is some internal problem that needs to be checked out.
Faulty Emission and Ignition Systems
Engine surges often indicate that there is a problem with the ignition or emission control systems.
When there is an emission control issue, it will directly affect the air filters or exhaust that, in turn, affect the speed of your car on the move.
Ignition issues also affect the engine of your car, causing it to surge when you start up the car.
Transmission Problems
Whether your car is working on a manual or automatic transmission, it can cause an engine surge in your car.
If there is a faulty torque convertor or any issues with the catalytic converter, you can expect engine surges as a result.
You may also notice changes in the electronic control module that can be diagnosed by a professional.
Faulty valves
Faulty valves in a car can show up in many different ways. If the car has a faulty PCV valve, it can show up as build-up of engine sludge, oil leaks, misfiring of the engine, and rough idle.
If the "Check engine light" in your car is on, it is one of the first things to check for faulty valves.
The problem can also appear on your oxygen or MAF sensors if there is an issue with the PCV valve. Checking the EGR valve can be another cause of engine surge.
Some other problems that can cause engine surges are coolant leaks, issues in the vacuum gauge, multiple sensor malfunctions, or fuel issues.
How To Fix Or Prevent The Problem?
There might not be an exact solution that you can use when your engine is surging except for taking it to the mechanic.
However, there are a few ways that you can prevent the problem from doing too much damage to the car.
But make sure you take the car to your auto repair shop as soon as you see the speeds fluctuating on the road.
These are some of the things you can do to prevent the surging problem:
Check for engine jerks
If you are facing trouble with your car's engine and notice the engine jerks during the ignition, it is time that you head to a mechanic to figure out the problem.
The jerking can lead to major surging issues that must be sorted out as early as possible.
Check for power loss
Any kind of problems with the electrical system of the car needs to be checked when there is surging. This is mainly because surging is caused by problems with the ignition system.
If there is a random power loss in your car and you cannot locate the source, it could be due to an engine surge.
Fuel filters
Regularly changing the fuel filters and cleaning the filters when required is one of the best ways to avoid surging problems.
Damaged air filters can become a big trouble for your car, causing problems with acceleration. When the fuel injectors are clogged, it can cause problems like grease build-up.
Check the exhaust
If the exhaust in your car is emitting black smoke, it could be a sign of trouble in the internal combustion system.
Surging can cause heating of the engine due to the pressure it puts during acceleration. This is why the exhaust system is one of the first components to be affected.
Timely car maintenance
Finally, maintaining your car according to your schedule is one of the best ways you can prevent any kind of internal troubles.
If you get the car checked by a qualified mechanic, check the wiring and electrical system, and look out for early signs of trouble, you can have problems like surging in your car.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common problems with Toyota Prius?
There are a few problems that come with a Toyota Prius that has been recorded over the years.
The most common ones are brake defects, engine surges when you are driving for a long time, excessive oil consumption, and troubles with the air conditioning system.
Why is my Prius having trouble accelerating?
Prius drivers can experience acceleration problems mainly because of clogged fuel injectors. This happens because the dirt in fuel injectors causes the engine oil not to flow smoothly.
When you are trying to accelerate, the injectors will not allow the car to speed up as much.
How reliable are 3rd Gen Prius?
The Gen 3 Prius is considered less reliable than the older models of the Prius. These cars have been reported to have problems with braking systems, piston rings, and hybrid-drive inverters.
This is why the car has not been very popular in the market for more than a few years of its introduction.
Why do Prius head gaskets fail?
The head gaskets in Prius are bolted tightly with the main block. This can cause the gasket not to move freely when required, creating a problem with the amount of pressure being exerted.
When the pressure on a car's head gasket reduces, the gasket can heat up faster and cause it to malfunction.
Conclusion
Problems with the fuel filter, vacuum leaks, and ignition issues are some of the possible causes of surging in a Prius.
These issues are why the Gen-3 Prius is not considered one of the most popular models in Toyota. However, if you are driving this model, it can help if you are informed about the problem and what you can do to solve it.
Thank you for reading, and drive safe!

DARPA has engineered a set of wheels that can turn into tracks while in motion in under two seconds.
The Reconfigurable Wheel Track (RWT) allows vehicles to morph as the terrain changes, allowing drivers (or remote pilots) to quickly adapt to changing environments and better handle obstacles. This technology would enable greater terrain access and faster travel — both on- and off-road.
As shown in a demonstration at Aberdeen Test Center, Maryland, earlier this year, the morphing wheel system, developed by the Carnegie Mellon University National Robotics Engineering Center, would allow troops to respond to impending threats rapidly by reconfiguring the wheels — without stopping — and re-route off the road.
The system also comes with a Multi-mode Extreme Travel Suspension that provides shock absorbency, which anyone who has ever ridden in a Humvee will be thankful for.
"We're looking at how to enhance survivability by buttoning up the cockpit and augmenting the crew through driver-assistance aids," said Maj. Amber Walker, the program manager for GXV-T in DARPA's Tactical Technology Office. "For mobility, we've taken a radically different approach by avoiding armor and developing options to move quickly and be agile over all terrain."
According to DARPA, the Ground X-Vehicle Technologies program "aims to improve mobility, survivability, safety, and effectiveness of future combat vehicles without piling on armor."
Take a look at the video below to watch the wheels transform and to watch the vehicles tackle asymmetrical terrain:


How to Open XER File?
What is a Primavera P6 XER Project File?
An XER file is a file format natively used by the Oracle® Primavera P6 enterprise project and portfolio planning and management software solutions. Software tools from the Primavera suite of Construction and Engineering solutions such as the P6 use the.xer file format to store schedule data about the projects created within the application.
The XER file format is used to store the data upon an export and communicate the project information between different project stakeholders and P6 databases.
In its textual structure this file format has the potential to store enormous amount of project data. The P6 application is a complex solutions dedicated to match the needs of large organizations and therefore it has the potential to store schedule data in more than 170 tables, associated with different relationships. When this data is exported on an.xer file it is roughly gathered in 20 to 66 tables. Different categories of project data are imprinted into the output file, such as records and data values for Global, Project, Activity Codes, Calendars, Activities, Projects, Resources and their inter-relationships.
XER files can be opened by the Primavera P6 software itself, but a more easier way to open an XER file is through the ScheduleReader software, due to the fact that this XER file viewer does not connect to any database and can open large project files in this or the XML file format in a matter of seconds.
This.xer file reader is a standalone, independently developed software solution and it is not connected or associated with the Oracle® corporation.
Following are the instructions of how to open an XER file with ScheduleReaderTM.
To open XER file follow the next steps:

When did the US first exist?
On July 4, 1776, people from the 13 colonies agreed to the United States Declaration of Independence. This said that they were free and independent states, and were not part of England any more. The colonists were already fighting Britain in the Revolutionary War at this time.
Is America 245 years old?
– the Simple Answer. The simple answer is that as of the 4th of July 2021, the United States is 245 years old. It's 245-years-old because the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the US Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Here are 9 other potential birth dates and ages for the United States of America.
Who discovered America in 1492?
explorer Christopher Columbus
Americans get a day off work on October 10 to celebrate Columbus Day. It's an annual holiday that commemorates the day on October 12, 1492, when the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus officially set foot in the Americas, and claimed the land for Spain. It has been a national holiday in the United States since 1937.
What was America before 1492?
Before 1492, modern-day Mexico, most of Central America, and the southwestern United States comprised an area now known as Meso or Middle America.

The Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day or July 4th—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution.
What did the Native Americans call America?
Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America, used by some Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, as well as by some Indigenous rights activists. The name is based on a common North American Indigenous creation story.
What was America's original name?
The newly formed union was first known as the "United Colonies", and the earliest known usage of the modern full name dates from a January 2, 1776 letter written between two military officers.
Who lived in America before Columbus discovered it?
Five hundred years before Columbus, a daring band of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson set foot in North America and established a settlement. And long before that, some scholars say, the Americas seem to have been visited by seafaring travelers from China, and possibly by visitors from Africa and even Ice Age Europe.
Who lived in the US first?
For decades archaeologists thought the first Americans were the Clovis people, who were said to have reached the New World some 13,000 years ago from northern Asia.

Record WLST Scripts
To help automate the task of configuring a domain, you can record your configuration actions in the Administration Console as a series of WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) commands and then use WLST to replay the commands.
WLST is a command-line scripting environment that you can use to create, manage, and monitor WebLogic Server domains. It is installed on your system when you install WebLogic Server.
The Administration Console does not record WLST commands for the following:
The main steps for recording WLST scripts are as follows:
 1. (Optional) Specify the name of the file in which you want to record WLST commands and set other preferences. See Set Preferences for WLST Recording.
 While setting preferences, you can specify WLST commands that the Administration Console inserts before and after the commands that you record. For example, you can insert a series of commands that connect WLST to an Administration Server and append commands that terminate the connection. Unless you add such commands, you cannot run your recorded commands as a WLST script.
 For examples of WLST scripts, see WLST Online Sample Scripts.
 2. Start WLST Recording.
 You cannot remove or undo a command once it has been recorded. Instead, you can edit the script file after you stop recording or you can set your preferences to overwrite the script file and re-record the commands.
 3. (Optional) View the commands that have been recorded. See View Recorded Commands.
 4. Stop WLST Recording.
 If you choose the Append To File preference, you can start and stop recording several times before moving to the next steps.
 5. If you record commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes (such the password for a server's Java Standard Trust keystore), the Administration Console creates two files in addition to the script file: a user configuration file that contains the encrypted data and a key file that contains the key used to encrypt the data. Use the file system to limit read and write access to the key file. Users who can read the key file can read all of the encrypted data that you recorded.
 The key file and user configuration files are created in the same directory as the recorded script file and are named recording-fileConfig and recording-fileSecret where recording-file is the name of the recorded script file.
 6. (Optional) Open the script file in a text editor and modify the recorded commands. You specify the name and location of the script file when you set your recording preferences.
 7. Run the script in WLST. When you use WLST to run the commands, WLST must be connected an Administration Server. See Main Steps for Using WLST for more information.
 If you recorded commands that get or set the values of encrypted attributes, the user configuration and key files must be in the same directory as the script file. If you move the script file, you must also move the user configuration and key files. Only the key file that was used to encrypt the data can be used to unencrypt the data.

The sterically polymer-based liposomal complexes (SPLexes) were formed by cationic polymeric liposomes and pH-sensitive diblock copolymer were studied for their capabilities in improving the stability with high efficiency of siRNA delivery. The SPLexes were formed a dual-shelled structure and uniform size distribution. The PEGylated outer shell could mitigate the phagocytosis and reduce the cytotoxicity. Moreover, the folated SPLexes improved 42.9× accumulation in vitro and 1.7× tumor uptake in vivo in contrast with nonfolated SPLexes. The protonated copolymer at low pH would improve the siRNA released into cytoplasm following SPLexes fusion with the endo/lysosome membrane and inhibited the protein expression to 75.6 ± 4.5% efficiently. Results of this study significantly contribute to efforts to develop lipoplexes based siRNA delivery systems.

---------------------------
STRUCTCOMPVIS(s1,s2) opens an HTML differencing report comparing two structures.
This is useful for quickly finding subtle differences between 2 structures. I find it particularly useful when working with large handles structures from GUI applications.
Ex:
% Find which properties are different between two graphics objects
subplot(211);l1 = plot(1:10)
subplot(212)l2 = plot(1:10,'r')
structcompvis(get(l1),get(l2))

Comments and Ratings (3)
Oops - I mistakenly wrote TEMPNAME above in place of TEMPDIR. Also, the issue seems to be my fault because I changed TEMPDIR while debugging this code. However, I think it is cleaner to use TEMPNAME to create the file names. Either way, the file names displayed by VISDIFF will generally not correspond to the user's variable names.
I ran into a few problems running this code:
1. It uses the directory given by the environment variable TEMPNAME. Oddly, though, TEMPNAME is incorrect on my machine.
2. It calls VISDIFF, which works asynchronously. As a result, STRUCTCOMPVIS deletes the temporary files before VISDIFF has managed to open them.
3. It displays the contents of the structures in the command window as well as the comparison window.
4. The issue regarding lengths of field names is due to an unnecessary parameter handed to VISDIFF.
Here is some code that fixes all these problems:
% Sort structures, to ignore order
s1 = orderfields(s1);
s2 = orderfields(s2);
% Write structures to temp files
structInStringFormat = evalc('disp(s1)');
f1 = tempname;
fid = fopen(f1,'w+');
fprintf(fid,'%s\n',structInStringFormat);
fclose(fid);
structInStringFormat = evalc('disp(s2)');
f2 = tempname;
fid = fopen(f2,'w+');
fprintf(fid,'%s\n',structInStringFormat);
fclose(fid);
% Use visual differencing report

It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. The frog then uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again
More frog facts: Because frogs come out in the rain people used to think that they fell to earth in the rain and in the nineteenth century England's people tried catching them to prove it. Also, it's a myth that you can get warts from touching frogs.


text:
Assuming the cars are all independent of one another, i.e. any given car has probability p of breaking down, regardless of what happens to the other cars...
Then two cars breaking down is two independent events, so to find the probability of it happening, you multiply the probabilities; p x p = p^2... less than the probability of one car breaking down
However, (I think this is where you're getting confused) if a car has ALREADY broken down, the probability that another will break down is still p, because they are independent.
If they aren't independent you need to know how they are related in order to answer questions about them


A library of examples for GGPLAB
The following is a library of examples for GGPLAB, a Matlab-based toolbox for specifying and solving geometric programs (GPs) and generalized geometric programs (GGPs).
Each example comes with its full Matlab code, and an HTML page that lists the output generated by Matlab when the code is run. You need to download your own copy of GGPLAB distribution in order to run these examples on your system.
Here is a simple code segment to get you introduced to the GGPLAB usage.
gpvar x y z % create three scalar GP variables
m1 = 3.4*x^-0.33/z % form a monomial
p1 = z*sqrt(m1)+0.1/m1 % form a posynomial
gp1 = max(1,x+y,p1) % form a generalized posynomial
% form an array of constraints
constrs = [ m1==x, p1<=m1, 1<=y, gp1+p1<=5/y ]
% solve generalized GP and assign solution to GP variables

Backup folders with 7-zip command line
The 7-zip command line can be used to do a multiple folders backup. The good thing with 7-zip is that it support many compression method such as bzip2, gzip, zip and of course 7z.
Here are steps for doing a backup on multiple folders on Windows:
 1. Download the 7-zip Command Line Version from _URL_
 2. Extract the content of the zip file to a temporary folder.
 3. Copy 7za.exe to your system folder (for example C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP).
 4. Create a folder for your backup, for example C:\backup.
 5. Create a text file in the C:\backup folder and name it backup.txt.
 6. List the full path of the folders that will be backup, each on a new line.
 7. Create a batch file in C:\backup folder and name it backup.bat.
 8. In the backup.bat file, type

This study investigates the effect of spatial variability on the stability of a real 3D slope subjected to earthquakes by conventional Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and a stochastic response surface method. The stochastic response surface method used in this study (VRSRSM) was combined with a variance reduction method due to spatial averaging of soil parameters in slope failure to reduce a large computational load due to the realization of spatially correlated input parameters in three-dimensional space. In order to verify the applicability of the stochastic response surface method with a variance reduction method for 3D slope reliability, the safety factor for a simple 3D slope under non-seismic and seismic conditions was analyzed by MCS and VRSRSM. The VRSRSM was applied to risk evaluation of deep-seated landslides caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake along with backcalculation of strength parameters based on the slope failure geometry and field investigation.

Parameters
entity
Type: TEntity
The source object for which related objects are to be loaded.
selector
Type: System.Linq.Expressions.Expression(Of Func(Of TEntity, Object))
A LINQ expression that defines the related objects to be loaded.
mergeOption
Type: System.Data.Objects.MergeOption
The MergeOption value to use when you load the related objects.
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException
selector does not supply a valid input parameter.
ArgumentNullException
selector is null.
InvalidOperationException
The entity is in a Detached, [F:System.Data.EntityState.Added,] or Deleted state,
-or-
The entity is attached to another instance of ObjectContext.
The LoadProperty method must be called to achieve explicit loading when you are using POCO custom data classes.
After calling LoadProperty, the related object can be accessed through the navigation properties of the source entity.
The property to load is specified by a LINQ expression, which must be in the form of a simple property member access, as in (entity) => entity.PropertyName where PropertyName is the navigation property that returns the related objects to be loaded. An exception will occur if other forms of the LINQ expression are used.
When using POCO custom data classes, related objects cannot be explicitly loaded like instances of entity types that are generated by the Entity Data Model tools. This is because the tools generate the navigation properties that return an EntityCollection(Of TEntity) or EntityReference(Of TEntity) of related objects when Load is called on a RelatedEnd. POCO entities can still be loaded by using lazy loading by setting the LazyLoadingEnabled property to true on the instance of ObjectContextOptions that is returned by the ObjectContext.ContextOptions property, or by using eager loading with the Include method on the ObjectQuery(Of T).

Reworking the working coast: Economic change and the geography of opportunity in Southeast Louisiana
Published: Oct 16, 2019
In Southeast Louisiana, the changing nature of economic opportunity will shape the degree to which the Super Region, and communities within it, experience the effects of coastal land loss. Over the long term, underlying economic dynamics can constrain the capacity of coastal communities to invest in protection and adaptation. For example, as residents' access to jobs changes, so may their ability to pay rising property insurance rates. At the same time, local governments may face shrinking tax rolls due to lower property values, constraining government's ability to invest in flood protection. This brief examines the changing distribution and mix of industries and occupations in the Super Region to inform economic development decisions that can boost coastal communities' ability to be resilient in the face of rising seas.
Land loss, the risk of storm surge, and the threat of chronic inundation will be factors in the economy of Southeast Louisiana for the foreseeable future. Environmental risk will have impacts on the regional economy particularly because coastal Louisiana is a "working coast" with important job centers that are economically interconnected with larger job centers in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The brief sheds light on the feedback loop between economic change and the region's prospects for resilience and adaptation.
The brief finds that front-line coastal areas have provided decent pathways to upward mobility. However, some of the sites of the greatest opportunity in the Super Region are among its most threatened. This brief highlights the fact that the response to coastal challenges hinges on non-environmental factors, such as the fate of key industries like oil and gas, the possibility of further losses of middle-earning occupations, and the availability of jobs in vulnerable coastal areas.

How numerical magnitude affects kinematics of reach to grasp actions
The SNARC (spatial-numerical association of response codes) effect is a well-studied phenomenon showing a spatial organisation of the magnitude of numbers. Smaller numbers (0-4) are associated with the left side of an individuals perceived surroundings, while larger numbers (6-9) are associated with the right side of an individuals perceived surroundings. The goal of our study was to determine if a larger numerical value on an object will increase the maximum distance between the thumb and index finger when reaching for the object also known as the maximum grip aperture. Further, it was of interest if the effect would be seen when using a cluster of small shapes as an indicator of numeracy as opposed to an Arabic numeral.
Two sets of blocks were used: one with Arabic numerical values (1, 2, 8, 9) written on them and the other with heart-shaped stickers on them. For each set of blocks the values 1 and 9 were on the faces of the smaller block, while the values 2 and 8 were on faces of the larger block which served as a foil. A control block the same size as the smaller blocks with nothing on its face was also used. University students were recruited for the study, each participant was only tested using one set of blocks. Participants were tasked with grasping blocks after an audio cue. While reaching for the block, participants were instructed to say the number of hearts or Arabic numeral on the block. This was done for both the left and right hand of each participant. During each grasp of the block maximum grip aperture was recorded. Research is still undergoing with results to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Based on prior experiments we hypothesize that maximum grip aperture should be altered depending on the size of the numerical value on the object. A tendency to have a larger maximum grip aperture when reaching for the larger number should occur, even though the objects are the same size. Using a cluster of shapes as an indicator of numeracy should also result in a similar difference to the one seen with numerical values. Since numerical processing occurs in the right hemisphere of the brain, the effect should be more pronounced in the left hand than the right.

Oblique Diffraction and Analysis of Curved Diffraction Grating Strain Gages.
BALLISTIC RESEARCH LABS ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD
Pagination or Media Count:
Analysis is presented for the new application of diffraction grating strain gages to the measurement of dynamic shear strain during torsional wave propagation in hollow tubes. The problem of oblique diffraction of light from curved diffraction gratings is solved in general. Corrective measures were discovered which minimize the undesirable effects arising from the complex grating curvature. This report is the first of three in a series that will treat the measurement of finite amplitude, dynamic torsional strain waves in hollow tubes. From these studies, important dynamic material parameters may be inferred. The second report is to discuss an analytical sensitivity study of real effects which occur with use of this gage, including rigid rotation of the tube, lateral and vertical displacements, and calibration procedures. The third report will present results obtained from candidate dynamic tests. Author

BLACK DIGGERS 2019 by Tom Wright
(Studied in comparison to The Longest Memory by Fred Daguiar)
Over 1000 indigenous Australians served in WWI and yet their contribution remains almost unrecognised. This play is like pieces of an exploded bomb resurfacing from the mud; fragments and missing voices in an epic tale of triumph and disaster. It speaks of the struggle indigenous men faced trying to enlist in the war, of rare moments of racial equality on the battlefield, and of our post-war disregard for our Black Diggers. The First World War and the formation of our concept of our national identity are closely interwoven. Informed by indigenous actors and cultural specialists we will explore how the play is riddled with symbols that we might otherwise miss; symbols that point to an ongoing war fought by indigenous Australians for recognition.
The Longest Memory is a brutal portrayal of American slavery. As an historical context in which oppression has been voiced and acknowledged it offers parallels that makes it easier to see and accept what has been and still is happening in our own backyard.
The sounds of Australia. Gunfire!

As winter approaches, concerns are growing among aid workers in Bosnia and Herzegovina about an acute shortage of housing and increasing hostility from authorities and locals towards approximately 10,000 asylum seekers and migrants stranded in the Western Balkan country bordering the EU.
Since 2016, Bosnia has been an unintended waystation for people fleeing conflicts and poverty in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa and seeking a path to northern or western Europe through the Balkans after crossing from Turkey to Greece.
The UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, has recorded the arrival of nearly 68,000 people in the country since 2018. Most are looking to transit through to EU member state Croatia, and beyond, but end up stuck because Croatian border police systematically – and often violently – push asylum seekers and migrants back across the border, according to human rights groups.
Even people who reach as far into the EU as Italy are sometimes subjected to chain pushbacks across several Balkan countries that end with them being expelled from the bloc and landing back in Bosnia.
Around 3,000 migrants and asylum seekers – mostly in the northwestern canton of Una-Sana, bordering Croatia – are currently sleeping rough in Bosnia in abandoned buildings, tents, and makeshift camps, the UN's migration agency, IOM, told The New Humanitarian via email.
That number is expected to grow.
For years, authorities in Una-Sana have argued that official camps act as a pull factor, attracting asylum seekers and migrants to the region. At the end of September, they left hundreds homeless when they made good on long-standing promises to close an IOM-run camp with the capacity to house 1,500 people in Bihać, the area's main city.
Authorities in the canton have repeatedly said they plan to close another camp, in the northwestern border city of Velika Kladuša, which would leave around 1,000 additional asylum seekers and migrants without accommodation. A third camp in Una-Sana, opened in April and currently housing around 1,500 people, is not "winterised" and will likely become unlivable as the cold Balkan conditions intensify towards the end of December.
In 2019, there were also concerns about a lack of adequate housing for asylum seekers and migrants in Bosnia and Herzegovina heading into winter. But this year, the problem appears to be worse.
"Last year, I was confident we would find a solution, and solutions were available; we finally managed to open another camp," Peter Van der Auweraert, IOM's Western Balkans coordinator and Bosnia representative, told TNH. "Now, it's well past five to midnight, and we still don't have an alternative."
The housing crisis is also being complicated by the coronavirus pandemic. With a population of around three million, Bosnia and Herzegovina has registered 89,081 cases of the virus and 2,728 deaths as of 1 December. The number of new infections has been rising since mid-October, and is now averaging 1,200 to 1,500 new cases per day compared to under 100 per day during the first wave of the pandemic, from April to June.
So far, the number of recorded infections among asylum seekers and migrants remains low, but from the beginning of the pandemic some politicians have scapegoated asylum seekers and migrants as "virus spreaders", "security threats", and an "economic burden", adding to longstanding stereotypes of them being criminals and thieves.
As the environment has grown more hostile, vigilantes have begun targeting asylum seekers and migrants with violence and there has been an uptick in reports of in-person and online harassment, including of humanitarian volunteers, according to aid workers.
"There has been a real shift in the political discourse towards migrants, and a shift in the way the public opinion has manifested [itself] recently," Nicola Bay, the Danish Refugee Council's country director for Bosnia and Herzegovina, told TNH.
COVID-19 ratchets up tensions
Behind both the chronic shortage of housing and much of the growing hostility in Bosnia is a years-old dispute between local authorities and the central government over who is responsible for providing services to asylum seekers and migrants, particularly in Una-Sana canton.
Migration policy overall falls under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of Security. But local authorities are tasked with finding and approving suitable locations to accommodate asylum seekers and migrants.
In Una-Sana, where the majority of asylum seekers and migrants are concentrated, local authorities feel the national government has unfairly left them to shoulder the burden of migration management alone. The longer the situation has persisted, the more attitudes have hardened and tensions have risen.
The pandemic has only made things worse.
Before, anti-asylum seeker and migrant rhetoric was not widespread outside of Una-Sana canton. But in April, then Minister of Security Fahrudin Radončić claimed asylum seekers and migrants were a security threat and an economic burden that Bosnia could not afford during the pandemic and promised to deport all of them from the country. His statement was amplified by Bosnia's national media.
"[Radončić] wanted to profit [politically] from the coronavirus pandemic… This was part of his populist discourse," Anida Sokol, a researcher with Mediacentar Sarajevo, which supports independent journalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, told TNH.
Anti-migration rhetoric also intensified leading up to local elections held throughout the country on 15 November. In Una-Sana, Sej Ramić, who has been protesting and petitioning to move camps out of the canton since 2018, ran for mayor on an anti-asylum seeker and migrant platform.
"He was not the only one," Sokol said. "This type of discourse was widely used [in various parts of the country] for scoring political points."
A number of mainly private Facebook groups and pages spreading hate speech and threats against asylum seekers, migrants, and aid workers also gained traction as anti-migration rhetoric from politicians and in the media increased over the summer. Some of the groups, including one run by Ramić, have as many as 9,600 followers, and sometimes the online threats are matched by real-world actions.
Vigilantes and the police
In August, residents of Velika Kladuša blocked the main road heading into the northwestern border town to prevent buses carrying asylum seekers and migrants from entering. Protests, and sometimes violent action against asylum seekers and migrants in the town and the surrounding area, continued for several days.
In September, vigilantes attacked four men from Algeria and Morocco close to Velika Kladuša, leaving at least one with a knife wound, and burned down an abandoned house where asylum seekers and migrants had permission from the owner to sleep. Similar vigilante attacks have also been reported in Bihać.
But it hasn't just been vigilantes engaging in violence against asylum seekers and migrants. The Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) documented officers from a special forces unit – deployed to crack down on people living outside official camps – beating up an asylum seeker in a field close to Velika Kladuša in August.
Hamid, a 28-year-old from Morocco who asked to be identified by only his first name, told TNH he was attacked by police twice in May. The first time was in a small town in Una-Sana canton in an abandoned house where he was sheltering from the rain with a friend. "The police came and attacked us," he said. "They chased us away and didn't allow us to take our clothes and food with us."
The same thing happened several days later close to Bihać, and Hamid has since returned to Sarajevo, Bosnia's capital. "The situation in the border cities is really difficult because some people don't accept the immigrants," he said.
Volunteers and activists helping asylum seekers and migrants in the border region have also been harassed, both online and offline, several aid workers from grassroots organisations told TNH.
"I managed to escape and went to the police to report the incident, but to no avail."
Zehida Bihorać Odobašić, from Velika Kladuša, has been helping asylum seekers and migrants in the town since 2018. "People have called me names and insulted me in the city centre," she told TNH. "If I were to put... the type of food you'd usually distribute to people on the move in my basket in a supermarket, people would take out their phones and take pictures of me."
The photos would then be shared on social media accompanied by insults or threats.
One day in September, Bihorać Odobašić was driving home when a car blocked the road. Two men and a woman got out and threatened her. "They said I was a traitor of my people; that I should go to Afghanistan or Syria since I love those people so much," Bihorać Odobašić recalled.
"I managed to escape and went to the police to report the incident, but to no avail," she said. "They told me there was no evidence to my claims."
The police in Velika Kladuša did not respond to TNH's request for comment on the incident.
Forced to retreat
The growing hostility towards asylum seekers, migrants, and humanitarian volunteers has made the work of aid groups more difficult, according to Bay from the Danish Refugee Council, which provides medical assistance in IOM-run camps and to people living rough through mobile outreach teams.
"There are many people living in squats and informal settlements in the forest area of Bihać and Velika Kladuša; many in far remote places because they are trying to stay off the police radar," Bay said.

Coconut trees are often found at exotic beaches or tropical sea costs and place where the climate is warm. It has a trunk which is roughly around two one or two feet thick. The tree do not have any branches and grows vertically up sometime slanting, and has leaves on the top like a crown. It normally grows about 70 to 100 feet above the ground. You can imagine a bird feather, the leaf of coconut tree will be similar to that. The fruit hangs at the bottom of the leaves in clusters.
Now we shall learn how to draw a coconut tree. Please look at the image, and this is how a coconut tree looks like. You can find 7 simple steps on how to draw coconut tree.
First thing to start with is.. draw the skeleton of the coconut tree, like bones of the fish, just draw the outline of the trunk and the leaves of the tree by a pencil. It looks like few hairs on the top of the trunk. This is very simple to draw.
Lets go to the next step. Draw the outline of the leaf. Please observe carefully, this leaf is not like any other plant leaf, one leaf has a long stem and it has hundreds of thin subleaf sort of thing hanging on the leaf. Hence, you need draw thin lines like how it is shown in the sketch.
The third step to draw the tree leaf is to fill it with lines from the centre of the think skeleton line to the outer border. Just keep drawing thin lines like strokes to get a natural look for the leaf of the coconut tree.
In the fourth step you can mark horizontal lines on the stem. These are nothing but as the tree grows the leaf falls down and leaves a mark on the stem. Drawing these lines give natural look for the stem. I have drawn a very small stem, but a well grown up coconut tree normally be double the size of this.
In step five you need to give more depth for the coconut leaf, draw using more stress the coconut leaves and it should become more darker. This is a sketch, the real color of coconut tree leaf is green in color. Ensure the image is dark as shown in the picture. Also observe the bottom part of the stem which is called as root, the lines are little different and is facing towards the ground.
In the sixth step you need to give little reality to your image. Imagine the light is falling from the right side of the picture or you can imagine that the sun is on the right side of the tree, hence the left side has to be dark. So darken the left side of the stem as shown in Step 6 image at the border, it will show as if the light is falling on the right side and there is a darkness on the left. These kind of techniques give more reality to the image.
The seventh and the last step in drawing a coconut tree is we need to draw some coconuts. Observe the tip of the stem where the leaves come and join, it there are some coconut fruit, they are heavy oval shape fruit, let it be drawn dark to give little reality. Same way you need to draw the ground too with some grass in it, otherwise it will not look real. Did you complete it. Now the picture looks more real and nice isnt it?
Hope you all enjoyed this lesson, and in case if you are satisfied please bookmark this page to your social site for immediate reference.


How Many LED Lights On A 15 Amp Circuit? | Unexpected Answer
How Many LED Lights On A 15 Amp Circuit
Talking about luminescence, an LED bulb will give you the same amount compared to an incandescent bulb (typically).
How Many LED Lights On A 15 Amp Circuit
But when it comes to power consumption, here is the surprise.
Because a typical LED bulb will consume very less power comparatively.
Due to this very reason, the demand for LED bulb has been increasing day by day.
If you are in favor of saving energy, then you should switch to LED bulbs.
LEDs For A 15 Amp Circuit
If an incandescent bulb consumes 60 watts, in comparison, an LED bulb will consume even less than 10 watts.
Hence, if your circuit has a certain fixed amount of source value of current, then you can use a lot more LED bulbs than incandescent bulbs.
Mathematically
As we see, a typical LED bulb consumes less than 10 watts of power. It is almost equal to 1/12 amp of current. Hence,
12 bulbs = 1 amp
180 bulbs = 15 amp
So, we see that according to a rough analysis, a 15 amp circuit can safely support as much as 180 LED bulbs, and this count can go further beyond with some further analysis.
Household Circuits
If we talk about a standard for household circuits, we see that most of them are rated 15 amp or 20 amp.
But when we think about circuit breakers, they can handle only 80% of their total amperage.
Thus, we can see that a 15 amp circuit breaker can handle only 12 amp of current while 20 amp can handle only 16 amp of current.
Hence if we come on reducing the available circuit current, then statistically, we can safely use 140+ LED bulbs on the circuit of 15 amp if the circuit breaker handles 80% of the whole amperage.
A 15 amp circuit mathematically can provide 180 fixtures in the case of LED bulbs, and we can see that if the available amperage is even lesser, we still have 140+ fixtures' space for the LEDs that can be used in them.
Comparison
A question arises that how can we place around 180 LED bulbs in a circuit where only about 30 traditional bulbs of that much luminescence can be accommodated.
So here is a little comparison;
Talking about efficiency? LED lights are up to 80% more efficient than the other bulbs like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs.
Talking about energy waste? 95% of the total energy is converted into light, while only 5% is wasted into heat energy.
Also, in the case of LEDs, greenhouse gas emission is decreased because demand from power plants is reduced.
Conclusion
After going through a fair enough analysis, we see that LED bulbs are not only the least consuming so far, but also they are very efficient and environmental-friendly.
If you have a circuit of 15 amp rating, which is normally used in households, you can use many of the LED bulbs in that with comparatively a very low consumption of energy.

Storing Data to and Reading from the Clipboard (Visual Basic)
The Clipboard can be used to store data, such as text and images. Because the Clipboard is shared by all active processes, it can be used to transfer data between them. The My.Computer.Clipboard object allows you to easily access the Clipboard and to read from and write to it.
Use the GetText method to read the text in the Clipboard. The following code reads the text and displays it in a message box. There must be text stored on the Clipboard for the example to run correctly.
This code example is also available as an IntelliSense code snippet. In the code snippet picker, it is located in Windows Forms Applications > Clipboard. For more information, see Code Snippets.
Use the GetImage method to retrieve an image from the Clipboard. This example checks to see if there is an image on the Clipboard before retrieving it and assigning it to PictureBox1.
This code example is also available as an IntelliSense code snippet. In the code snippet picker, it is located in Windows Forms Applications > Clipboard.For more information, see Code Snippets.
Items placed on the Clipboard will persist even after the application is shut down.
Data on the Clipboard may take a number of different forms, such as text, an audio file, or an image. In order to determine what sort of file is on the Clipboard, you can use methods such as ContainsAudio, ContainsFileDropList, ContainsImage, and ContainsText. The ContainsData method can be used if you have a custom format that you want to check.
Use the ContainsImage function to determine whether the data contained on the Clipboard is an image. The following code checks to see whether the data is an image and reports accordingly.
Use the SetText method to write text to the Clipboard. The following code writes the string "This is a test string" to the Clipboard.
The SetText method can accept a format parameter that contains a type of TextDataFormat. The following code writes the string "This is a test string" to the Clipboard as RTF text.
Use the SetData method to write data to the Clipboard. This example writes the DataObject dataChunk to the Clipboard in the custom format specialFormat.
Use the SetAudio method to write audio data to the Clipboard. This example creates the byte array musicReader, reads the file cool.wav into it, and then writes it to the Clipboard.
Because the Clipboard can be accessed by other users, do not use it to store sensitive information, such as passwords or confidential data.

SaaS onboarding is the beating heart of your business. In our era of freemium, trials and other piloting processes, ramping up prospects who signed up for your product can make or break your forecasts. Increasing free-to-paid conversion rates is therefore a daunting task. You may feel overwhelmed by the incredible amount of factors you can tamper with. The myriad of solutions out there while doing a great job at solving specific problems rarely help identify the main levers of improvement for SaaS conversion rates.
Today, we'll discuss an approach to identifying these levers and how to execute against them.
Ant colony optimization
At this point you might be wondering what's this business about Ant Colonies helping improve SaaS conversion rates.
In the real world, ants have developed a rather intriguing heuristic to optimize their path to food patches. They initially wander in random directions away from the colony, laying a pheromone trail on their path. As they find food and return, they increase the amount of pheromone on the path to the food. The other ants from the group are attracted to the strongest trail which will be the closest to a food source. As the pheromones evaporate, the shortest paths become increasingly more attractive until the optimal path is found.This optimization algorithm is called the ant colony algorithm. Its goal is to mimic this behavior with "simulated ants" walking around the graph representing the problem to solve.
At MadKudu, we've built such an algorithm and its goal is to mimic this behavior with "simulated ants" (trial users) walking around the graph (performing sequences of events) representing the problem to solve.
Identify milestone events
You've probably heard about Facebook's famous "7 friends in 10 days". The key drivers of conversion, or "key conversion activities" are user activities that are most associated with conversion. Identifying those key activities allows to focus your engagement efforts on things that truly move the dial. For example, you can write content that most effectively helps users get value from the product, and convert them.
At MadKudu, we use a standard decomposition of onboarding events into 3 groups. Using advanced analytics, we identify and distinguish between those 3 types of activities:
These are activities that users absolutely need to do to convert, even though doing them does not indicate they will convert. In other words, they are required but not sufficient.
These activities are typically things like "setting up an account" or "finishing the onboarding steps" or "turning on a key integration".
These are the core activities of your product. This is where users get recurring value from your product. Users who perform these activities often will convert. Those who don't will most likely not.
The key is to find which activities truly matter and how many occurrences are necessary until the point of diminishing returns is reached.
These are activities that are done by few users, your most advanced users. Users who don't do those activities are not less likely to convert. But those who do are very likely to convert.
Make sure to identify what these activities are and promote them to advanced users when the time is right.
In order to map out your onboarding events, you can calculate for each event:
– the conversion rate of users who performed the event: P(X)
– the conversion rate of those who did not: P(¬X)
You can then determine the impact of performing the event (average conversion – P(X)) and the impact of not performing the event (average conversion – P(¬X)).
Finally you can graphically represent your onboarding events as such:
Anything on the left is a requirement to have a chance to convert. Anything at the top is strongly correlated to converting.
Or you can contact us ;-)
From analytics to results
There are many ways to make this actionable, here are just a few:
- Create a behavioral onboarding drip (case study)
- Close more delighted users by promoting your premium features
- Close more delighted users by sending them winback campaigns after their trial (50% of SaaS conversions happen after the end of the trial)
- Adapt your sales messaging to properly align with the user's stage in the lifecycle and truly be helpful

16 Jul SAE Technical Standards – J2450 scoring metric
Prior to the proposal of the J2450 scoring metric, created by the SAE Technical Standards, quality measurement of language translation in the automotive industry was subjective. In an industry where poor quality translation services could result in lower consumer confidence, additional warranty costs as well as injury and death, it was determined that a specified method for quality assurance was necessary. In response, the SAE developed the J2450 scoring metric to allow for tighter control of translation quality while also making sure that the source language, target language and method of translation did not bias the measure of quality.
More specifically, the actual metric consists of four elements, each of which further classify errors. The first element of the standard classifies errors into seven primary error categories, ranging from the use of the wrong term, grammatical errors as well miscellaneous errors. Secondly, errors are then classified as either serious or minor, as determined by the evaluator. Next, each error is given a numerical score, which is defined in the standard. The fourth and final element results in the normalized score which is computed by dividing the sum of the individual numeric weights by the total number of words in the source language text.
It is important to note that while the standard results in a normalized score, the SAE does not specify or suggest an acceptable threshold for the score.
For clients that require definite quality assurance measures to be part of their workflows, we are able to implement the J2450 scoring metric, among other procedures.


access features have become a common property: they also appeal to healthy people who use iPhones and iPads.
With the default settings, incoming calls and alerts on the iPhone are accompanied by a polyphonic ring and vibration, which is created by a built-in phone motor.
The Flash On iPhone
Owners of smartphones can choose their own melodies, select the vibration individually for contacts in the control center. This is enough for most users, but you can also enable flicker for incoming calls.
The ability to turn on the light signal during a call appeared only with iOS version 5. However, many people have not heard about it for a long time. The light turns on and flashes when you make a call. The notification light function is also supported.
Developers have not removed this feature to this day because they believe it is in demand. Many smartphones have notification indicators. Usually, they are not conspicuous, but Apple developers decided to make this feature bright on their products.
Despite the benefit, this feature soon begins to irritate many. And then users ask themselves the diametrically opposite question, how to turn off the flash during calls.
Reducing the brightness of the LED does not work. The only solution to the problem would be to turn off the flash on calls.
LED Flashing Enabled Features
All models of smartphones at the moment are equipped with backlighting on the back panel. The main task is considered to set the lighting for photo and video shooting. But it can also be set to blink as a warning of a call.
LED flash blinking can not only allow you to take high-quality photos but also notify you about incoming calls and messages. Such a useful feature will allow you to learn about notifications even if the owner has problems with hearing.
This feature in the control center is necessary in the following cases:
 - if you cannot miss calls, messages, notifications in messengers and social networks on the lock screen;
 - to draw attention to notifications and calls in a loud environment: at work and at leisure in noisy places;
 - when you have to turn off the sound and vibration, but may receive an important call on the lock screen;
 - use in conjunction with an alarm clock to make it easier to wake up.
This feature is found not only on iPhones but also on Android. To do this, you need to carefully study the settings of your smartphone.
How to Make a Flashing When Calling on iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, iPhone XS
If the ringtone and vibration are no longer enough to keep track of what's happening on your smartphone, you can activate an additional option.
This will be quite handy because when your phone isn't around and you can't physically hear it, the flashing flash will come in handy.
Here's how you can turn it on:
 - go to Settings and open Universal Access;
 - swipe to Hearing and locate Audio Visualization;
 - activate the Alert Flash (the Silent mode option will appear, but it's up to you).
Turning on the Flash for Photos and Videos
When taking photos or shooting videos on the iPhone, the user can turn on the flash for better image quality. This feature is almost devoid of settings and is built-in on iOS phones.
 - Go to the Camera app.
 - Click the lightning bolt icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
How to Turn Flash on iPhone 12 - Detailed Manual for You
In total, the standard camera app on your iPhone offers 3 choices:
 - Enable auto flash – then the device will detect and turn on the flash itself based on your external surroundings.
 - Enabling simple flash – in which this function will always be on and work regardless of external conditions and image quality.
 - Disable flash – the camera will shoot normally without the use of auxiliary light.
When shooting a video, follow the same steps (1-3) to adjust the flash.
You can also turn on the auxiliary light using apps downloaded from the official App Store. They usually contain additional settings that cannot be found in the standard iPhone camera.
Wondering how to put a flash on your iPhone's front camera? The iPhone 6s and newer have a front camera flash that will illuminate your face during selfies. Setting it up is just as easy.
 - Open the Camera app.
 - Switch to the front camera.
 - Tap the lightning flashlight icon at the top of the screen and select one of the options.
Triggering the Flash as iPhone 12 Flashlight
The flash can be either an instant flash or a constant flash. The latter is called a flashlight and is turned on through iOS built-in tools or by using a third-party app from the App Store.
How to Turn Flash on iPhone 12 - Detailed Manual for You
By downloading this app, the user gets the same flashlight, but with extended functionality. You can change the brightness and configure special modes, such as its flashing.
 - After opening the app, click the flashlight icon in the middle – the flashlight will activate and will burn continuously.
 - The next scale adjusts the brightness of the light.
 - The "Color" button changes the color of the flashlight, but this feature does not work on all models, be careful.
 - Tapping the "Morse" button takes the user to a special window where the desired text can be entered and the app will start broadcasting the text using Morse code, using the flashlight flashes.
 - If necessary, you can activate SOS mode and the flashlight will flash quickly.
Standard iPhone Flashlight Icon
The standard flashlight icon in the iPhone differs on different versions of iOS.
Standard iPhone Flashlight Icon
For example, starting with iOS 11, it got a brightness adjustment feature, which wasn't there before. But the activation itself is not particularly different, so the following steps should be taken:
 - Open the quick access bar by swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen. You can do this either on a locked screen or by unlocking the device with your fingerprint or password.
 - Tap the flashlight icon and it will turn on the flashlight.
Does the iPhone 12 Have Night Vision
On supported iPhone models, you can use night vision mode to take photos when the camera detects low light. You can use night vision mode on iphone 13 vs iphone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Why Doesn't the Flashlight Work on Your iPhone
Reboot your iPhone.
Turning your iPhone off and on again can update the software and restore the flashlight to work. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on your iPhone until the option "Slide to Shut Down" appears and turn the phone off or perform a forced restart.
How to Turn Flash on iPhone 12 - Detailed Manual for You
A Few Setup Warnings
The feature will work when the phone is locked or in sleep mode. For the new functionality to take effect, you need to reboot your device. This is especially true for older iPhones.
It's worth remembering that you can see the flicker only if the smartphone is lying with the lock screen down. The indicator should work in the following situations:
 - if the silent mode is on;
 - in case the vibration is turned off;
 - If the ringer switch on the side of the phone is off.
Visual alerts work better in combination with vibration, presented by the system as default settings.
However, this type of indication should also work well as the only source of alerts, since it is intended as an additional option for hearing-impaired people.
How to Turn Flash on iPhone 12 - Detailed Manual for You
Up until version 10, there were serious flaws associated with the fact that additional applications were used to force the LED flash icon on.
iPhone owners who know how to turn on the flashlight when calling use this feature on a regular basis. It is not necessary for everyone, but it can come in handy in certain situations when the phone will not be heard. Flashing will allow you to quickly understand that someone has started calling or just sent a message.
How to Put SIM Card in iPhone 12 – Detailed Manual
You have bought yourself a brand new iPhone 12. Before you turn it on, it is advisable to insert a new SIM card. That's exactly what we're going to do today, we're going to look at how to put SIM card in iPhone 12.
What SIM Card is in the iPhone 12
Standard sim cards of large size (rarely used in modern smartphones) are suitable only for the first generation 3G and 3Gs. Owners of second-generation iPhones (4 and 4s) can use a micro sim. All subsequent models use the nano-sim – the smallest available. Its dimensions:
 - length – 12,3 mm;
 - width – 8.8 mm;
 - thickness – 0.67 mm.
To get a sim card of the right size is better in the official center of the mobile operator, so as not to unknowingly damage the chip in an attempt to do it yourself. It is only possible to get a micro-SIM.
Nano SIM is another type of SIM, in which the chip itself has smaller dimensions, so even if you completely cut off the plastic part, you cannot insert it into the iPhone.
Although on the network there are craftsmen who have managed to cut the standard sim card with scissors or a special stapler. Repeat their experience is not recommended if you are unsure of your abilities.
Absolutely all the new models (this is the iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max), support two sim cards.
This is a physical nano-SIM and electronic eSIM. Now let's break down how to insert the physical version in the SIM tray.
How to Install the new SIM Card in the iPhone 12
To begin the setup process, locate the SIM tray and in the box of your iPhone 12,

St Margarets at Cliffe was mentioned in the Domesday Book in the Latin form of Sancta Margarita. The implication is of a church dedicated to St Margaret at a place previously called simply Cliffe, which is the same word as English cliff and goes back to the Old English clif.
St Marys Hoo is an Old English hoh or spur of land, and this is how it appears in its earliest form, as Hoge right back in 687. By 1272 it had become Ho St. Mary, having acquired an affix from the dedication of its church.
St Peters takes its name from the dedication of its eleventh-century church, and was first recorded in 1254 as Borgha sancti Petri, the Borough of St Peter.
Sandwich is an Old English name, Sandwicæ, which literally meant a sandy harbour or sandy trading centre.
Sevenoaks.No surprises with Sevenoaks, which indicates seven oak-trees. It is interesting, though, that unlike many place-names its spelling has changed with the language to make continually clear its meaning. The Old English roots, seofon and ac, are more apparent in the first recorded mention of the town, in about 1100, as Seouenaca.
Shorne is literally a steep place, from the Old English scoren, taking its name from what is now called Shorne Hill. Its was first mentioned in about 1100 as Scorene.
Smarden. From an etymological point of view, one would expect to go to Smarden for the butter, since that is what its name indicates. The Old English smeoru means butter, and the -den is the Old English denn or woodland pasture. It was first recorded in about 1100 as Smeredaenne.
Smeeth is etymologically the same word as smithy and derives from the Old English smiththe. It was recorded as early as 1018 as Smitha.


text: The algorithms used to estimate rainfall from polarimetric radar variables show significant variance in error characteristics over the range of naturally occurring rain rates. As a consequence, to improve rainfall estimation accuracy using polarimetric radar, it is necessary to optimally combine a number of different algorithms. In this study, a new composite method is proposed that weights the algorithms by the inverse of their theoretical error. A number of approaches are discussed and are investigated using simulated radar data calculated from disdrometer measurements. The resultant algorithms show modest improvement over composite methods based on decision-tree logic-in particular, at rain rates above 20 mm h-1.


What is the Rochester Epidemiology Project?
The Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) is a collaboration of clinics, hospitals, and other medical facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin and involves community members who have agreed to share their medical records for research. Using medical record information, medical scientists can discover what causes the diseases, how patients respond to medical and surgical therapies, and what will happen to patients in the future. Research studies conducted in the local community may improve the health of people both locally and globally.

TEANAME INDIANS. The Teaname (Teana, Peana) Indians were one of numerous Coahuiltecan bands of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries that lived in northeastern Coahuila but also ranged north of the Rio Grande, particularly in the southwestern part of the Edwards Plateau (Kinney County and vicinity). In 1708 they were mentioned in the records of San Juan Bautista Mission near the site of present Eagle Pass. Later some of the Teanames seem to have been at San Antonio de Valero Mission in San Antonio, where they were known as Peana Indians. The Anna Indians, reported in the early eighteenth century as living somewhere in southern Texas, may be the Teanames under another name.
