server may use
 # it's own docroot
 ))
)
The request "_URL_ will be forwarded to fastcgi server at "192.168.0.3" and the value "/remote_scripts/test.cgi" will be used for the SCRIPT_NAME variable. Remote server may prepend it with its own document root. The handling of index files is also the responsibility of remote server for this case.
In the case that the prefix is not terminated with a slash, the prefix will be handled as file and "/test.cgi" would become a PATH_INFO instead of part of SCRIPT_NAME.
Example for "authorizer" mode:
 fastcgi.server = ( "/remote_scripts/" =>
 (( "host" => "10.0.0.2",
 "port" => 9000,
 "docroot" => "/path_to_private_docs",
 "mode" => "authorizer"
 ))
 )
Note that if "docroot" is specified then its value will be used in DOCUMENT_ROOT and SCRIPT_FILENAME variables passed to FastCGI server.
X-Sendfile
If the "allow-x-send-file" feature is active, you can use the following headers to send files instead of the generated content from the backend.
As this allows the backend to send any file lighttpd can read to the client, you should only use this for trusted backends. (As an example: your backend probably can't read the SSL key file, but lighttpd can. So although lighty wouldn't deliver the SSL key file in a normal request and the backend can't read it, the backend could use X-Sendfile to get the SSL key file)
A backend can either:
 - send the "X-Sendfile: /absolute/path/to/file" header ("X-LIGHTTPD-send-file" is an old alias for "X-Sendfile"):
 lighttpd will send the specified file and use the file length for the Content-Length header if it can read the file, otherwise it will ignore the header.
 - send the "X-Sendfile2: filename range" header (available since 1.4.24)
 The filename has to be urlencoded (including encoding ',' as '%2c': str_replace(',', '%2c', urlencode($path));)
 Range has the form "start-end" (inclusive end) or "start-" (from start until file end); you must always specify the range, use "0-" for the complete file.
 Example: X-Sendfile2: /tmp/test.txt 0-499 sends the first 500 bytes from /tmp/test.txt.
 You can send this header more than once with different parameters (or you can combine single values with ", " between them).
Here is a PHP example implementation which support resumable downloads

<?php
// Let's assume that $file contains the location of the file to download
$file = "/path/to/file";
// If the HTTP client needs to resume a download it will send a HTTP header called "Range"
// In case of a download resume (for instance when using wget -c), the header will be like "bytes=_PHONE_-"
// See RFC2616 section 14.35.2 _URL_
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']) && preg_match('/\Abytes=[0-9]+-\z/', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
 // Set Content-Range header which should be like "bytes _PHONE_-_PHONE_/_PHONE_"
 // That is start byte | dash | last byte | slash | total byte size
 // See RFC2616 section 14.16 _URL_
 $length = filesize($file);
 $start = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'],6,-1);
 $end = $length - 1;
 header("Content-Range: bytes $start-$end/$length");
 // X-Sendfile2 does not set the 206 status code, we have to set it manually
 // See RFC2616 section 10.2.7 _URL_
 header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial content");
 // The X-Sendfile2 with resume support should be like "/path/to/file _PHONE_-"
 header("X-Sendfile2: $file $start-");
} else {
 // Usual X-Sendfile header should be like "/path/to/file"
 header("X-Sendfile: $file");
}
?>
Load-Balancing
The FastCGI plugin provides automatically a load-balancing between multiple FastCGI servers.
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
 (
 ( "host" => "10.0.0.2",
 "port" => 1030
 ),
 ( "host" => "10.0.0.3",
 "port" => 1030 )
 )
 )
To understand how the load-balancing works you can enable the fastcgi.debug option and will get a similar output as here:
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1031 1 1 1 31454
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1028 1 1 1 31442
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1030 1 1 1 31449
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1029 1 1 2 31447
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1026 1 1 2 31438
 got proc: 34 31454
 release proc: 40 31438
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1026 1 1 1 31438
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1028 1 1 1 31442
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1030 1 1 1 31449
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1031 1 1 2 31454
 proc: 127.0.0.1 1029 1 1 2 31447
Even if this for multiple FastCGI children on the local machine the following explanation is valid for remote connections too.
The output shows:
 - IP, port, unix-socket (is empty here)
 - is-local, state (0 - unset, 1 - running, ... )
 - active connections (load)
 - PID
As you can see the list is always sorted by the load field.
Whenever a new connection is requested, the first entry (the one with the lowest load) is selected, the load is increased (got proc: ...) and the list is sorted again.
If a FastCGI request is done or the connection is dropped, the load on the FastCGI proc decreases and the list is sorted again (release proc: ...)
This behaviour is very light-weight in code and still very efficient as it keeps the fastcgi-servers equally loaded even if they have different CPUs.
FastCGI and Programming Languages
Preparing PHP as a FastCGI program
One of the most important application that has a FastCGI interface is php which can be downloaded from _URL_ . You have to recompile the php from source to enable the FastCGI interface as it is normally not enabled by default in the distributions.
If you already have a working installation of PHP on a webserver execute a small script which just contains
 <?php phpinfo(); ?>
and search for the line in that contains the configure call. You can use it as the base for the compilation.
You have to remove all occurrences of '--with-apxs', '--with-apxs2' and the like which would build PHP with Apache support. Add the next three switches to compile PHP with FastCGI support.
 $ ./configure \
 --enable-fastcgi \
 --enable-force-cgi-redirect \
 ...
After compilation and installation check that your PHP binary contains FastCGI support by calling:
 $ php -v
 PHP 4.3.3RC2-dev (cgi-fcgi) (built: Oct 19 2003 23:19:17)
The important part is the (cgi-fcgi).
Starting a FastCGI-PHP
Starting with version 1.3.6 lighttpd can spawn the FastCGI processes locally itself if necessary:
 fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
 (( "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
 "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php"
 ))
 )
PHP provides 2 special environment variables which control the number of spawned workers under the control of a single watching process (PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN) and the number of requests what a single worker handles before it kills itself.
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" =>
 (( "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi


Email Customer Element
The Email Customer element is an Activity element. It should be the child element of Wait Selection element. It has a Send Email action and a couple of additional actions that calculate the event_seconds variable.
Here is the send email action:
The element then calculates the event_seconds variable, which represents how many seconds to the webinar start time. We calculate this variable so that we can text the customer 15 minutes before the webinar.
So when event_seconds is less than 900 (15 minutes), the engine notifies the customer by a text message. This is defined in the Notify Now element. If it is longer than 15 minutes, it schedules the text message by setting up a timer. This action is defined in the Wait 15 element, which we will create later.

when testing the house wiring with my O-scope.. the 120V shows a single

so how does a single phase get "split" via a center tap transformer to

Passion Fruit Scrambled Eggs
Typically when making fried eggs you would use butter, however when making scrambled eggs it is more effective to use oil because of the more stable it is when heated. Follow this recipe for some of the best scrambled eggs with a flavour like no other.
- 1 tablespoon of Puro Pura Passion Fruit Oil or Açaí Oil
- 4 eggs (cracked and scrambled)
- 1/2 cup of milk (or almond milk)
- Salt and Pepper
1. Place a saucepan on the burner and turn to medium heat.
2. While waiting for the saucepan to heat up scramble all the eggs, add the milk and continue to scramble. Add pinch of salt and pepper
3. Once pan is heated, pour oil into pan and wait for it to heat up. Look for tiny bubbles/steam, then pour egg mixture into pan.
4. Use spatula to scramble eggs as they cook in the pan, until desired consistency

Struthiomimus new
Struthiomimus (meaning "ostrich mimic", from the Greek στρούθειος/stroutheios meaning "of the ostrich" and μῖμος/mimos meaning "mimic" or "imitator") is a genus of ornithomimid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. It was a long-legged, ostrich-like dinosaur.
Illustration of Struthiomimus at the beach
The bipedal Struthiomimus stood about 14 ft long and 4.6 ft tall at the hips and weighed around 330 pounds.[1] Struthiomimus is one of the more common small dinosaurs in the Provincial Park; its abundance suggests that it was a herbivore or omnivore rather than a carnivore. [2]
Like many other dinosaur genera discovered in the 19th century, the history of Struthiomimus is convoluted. The first known fossils of Struthiomimus were named Ornithomimus sedens by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1892, and a subsequent species was named O. altus by Lawrence Lambe in 1902. It wasn't until 1917 that Henry Fairfield Osborn named Struthiomimus from fossils discovered in 1914 from the Red Deer River site in Alberta.
Description[]
Struthiomimus had a typical build and skeletal structure for an ornithomimid, differing from genera like Ornithomimus and Dromiceiomimus in size and anatomical details.[3] It is known from some skeletons and skulls,[4] and its size is about 14 ft long and 4.6 ft tall at the hips, with a weight of around 330 pounds. [5] As with other ornithomimids, it had a small slender head on a long neck (which made up about 40% of the length of the body in front of the hips).[4] Its eyes were large and its jaws had no teeth. Its spine had 10 neck vertebrae, 13 back vertebrae, 6 hip vertebrae, and about 35 tail vertebrae.[6] The tail was stiff and was likely used for balance.[7]
Struthiomimus had long arms and hands, with still forearm bones and limited opposability between the first finger and the other two.[8] It had the longest hands of any ornithomimid, with particularly long claws.[4] The three fingers were roughly the same length, and the claws had a slight curve; Henry Fairfield Osborn, describing a skeleton in 1917, said the arm was like that of a sloth.[7] Its shin was longer than its thigh, a feature for running.[7] Among ornithomimids, though, its legs were of moderate length. [9] Its feet were long, with three toes tipped by claws with a slight curve.[7]
Struthiomimus, being a coelurosaur, probably had some kind of feathers.
History[]
In 1901, Lawrence Lambe found some incomplete remains, and named them Ornithomimus altus, placing them in the same genus as material earlier described by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1890. The specific name altus is from Latin, meaning "lofty" or "noble". However, in 1914, a nearly complete skeleton was discovered by Barnum Brown at the Red Deer River site in Alberta, and officially described as the subgenus Struthiomimus by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1917.[10]
In years to come William Arthur Parks named four more species of Struthiomimus: Struthiomimus brevetertius Parks 1926,[11] Struthiomimus samueli Parks 1928,[12] Struthiomimus currellii Parks 1933 and Struthiomimus ingens Parks 1933.[13] These are now thought to either come from to Dromiceiomimus or to Ornithomimus.
In 1997 Donald Glut mentioned the name Struthiomimus lonzeensis.[14] This was probably a mistake for Ornithomimus lonzeensis{C (Dollo 1903) Kuhn 1965. {C Struthiomimus altus comes from the Dinosaur Park Formation and a species of Struthiomimus is known from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.[15] Since dinosaur fauna show rapid turnover, it could be that these younger Struthiomimus specimens will prove to be a species distinct from S. altus, though they have no new name. Struthiomimus specimens from the Hell Creek Formation are larger (similar to Gallimimus in size) and tend to have straighter and longer hand claws, like those seen in Ornithomimus. They most likely represent a separate species of Struthiomimus, in 2001 by James Orville Farlow named Struthiomimus sedens[16] (again, first named as a species of Ornithomimus by Marsh, in 1892).[15][17]
In 2010 Gregory S. Paul renamed Ornithomimus edmontonicus Sternberg 1933 to a Struthiomimus edmontonicus,[18] but this has found no acceptance by other workers.
Classification[]
Struthiomimus is a member of the family Ornithomimidae, a group which also includes Anserimimus, Archaeornithomimus, Dromiceiomimus, Gallimimus, Ornithomimus, and Sinornithomimus.
Just as the bones of Struthiomimus were wrongly assigned to Ornithomimus, the larger group that Struthiomimus belongs to, the Ornithomimosauria, also went thorugh many changes over the years. For example, O.C. Marsh at first included Struthiomimus in the Ornithopoda, a large clade of dinosaurs not closely related to theropods. [19] Five years later, Marsh classified Struthiomimus in the Ceratosauria. [20] [21] In 1891, Baur placed the genus in Iguanodontia.[22] As late as 1993, Struthiomimus was referred to Oviraptorosauria.[23] However, by the 1990s, there were a lot of studies that placed Struthiomimus in Coelurosauria.[24][25][26][27]
In 1976, Rinchen Barsbold saw the difference between ornithomimids and other theropods, and placed ornithomimids in their own infraorder, Ornithomimosauria.[28] The constituency of Ornithomimidae and Ornithomimosauria varied with different authors. Paul Sereno, for example, used Ornithomimidae to include all ornithomimosaurians in 1998, but subsequently changed to a more exclusive definition (advanced ornithomimosaurs) within Ornithomimosauria,[29] a classification scheme that other authors took up at the beginning of the current century.
Paleobiology[]
Diet[]
There has been much talk of what Struthiomimus ate. Its straight-edged beak shows that Struthiomimus may have been an omnivore. Some theories suggest that it may have shore-dweller and may have been a filter feeder. [30] Some paleontologists note that it was more likely that it ate meat as it is classified in the otherwise meat-eating theropod group. [31] [32]This theory has not been discounted, but Osborn, who described and named the dinosaur, proposed that it probably ate buds and shoots from trees, shrubs and other plants, [33]using its front limbs to grasp branches and its long neck to let it take particular things. This plant-based diet is backed up by the strange structure of its hands. The second and third fingers were of the same length, could not work on their own, and were probably bound together by skin as a single unit. The structure of the shoulder girdle did not allow a high elevation of the arm nor was optimised for a low reach. The hand could not be fully flexed for a grasping motion or spread for raking. This is a sign that the hand was used as a "hook" or "clamp", to bring branches or fern fronds at shoulder height within reach. [34]
Speed[]
The legs (hind limbs) of Struthiomimus were long, strong, and seemed to be well-suited to run fast, much like an ostrich. The supposed speed of Struthiomimus was, in fact, its main defense from predators (though it may also have been able to lash out with its hind claws when trapped), such as the dromaeosaurids (e.g. Saurornitholestes and Dromaeosaurus) and tyrannosaurs (e.g. Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus), which lived at the same time. It is thought to have been able to run at speeds from 31 to 50 mph. [35]
Posture[]
Struthiomimus was one of the first theropods pictured from the start with a horizontal posture. Osborn in 1916 let the animal intentionally be drawn with a raised tail. [36]This newer view created an image much more similar to modern flightless birds, such as the os

A series of novel fused-ring pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole derivatives featuring N-dinitromethyl and N-fluorodinitromethyl energetic groups (compounds 3–7) were synthesized using a nine-step reaction. All these compounds were characterized using multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infra-red (IR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed, and the single-crystal structures of compounds 3, 4, 6, and 7 were obtained. For these newly prepared energetic materials, the thermal stability was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while the sensitivities were evaluated using BAM drop hammer and friction test. The calculated heat of formation values and the measured densities were used to determine the detonation parameters, including detonation velocity and pressure, using the EXPLO5 program. Of all the prepared compounds, dipotassium 1,4-bis(dinitromethyl)-3,6-dinitro-1,4-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-c]pyrazole (3) was crystallized as a three-dimensional energetic metal-organic framework (MOF) and showed outstanding detonation performances, which even outperformed the traditional primary explosive lead azide. Compound 7 exhibited a high crystal density of 1.939 g cm−3, the high decomposition temperature of 213 °C and desirable impact and friction sensitivities (IS: 12 J; FS: 240 N). These combined properties and performances make these novel fused-ring energetic compounds suitable candidates for high-performance energetic materials.

Controller, the View or the Data Access Object.
 In the 3-Tier Architecture *ALL* validation is performed in the Business layer and *NONE* is performed in either the Presentation or Data Access layers.
 - Charles Bryant
 I mainly agree with this method of abstracting your validation class, I use the same concept that I took from Jeffery Way's net tut plus video tutorial on validation.
 Your addition of throwing exceptions I do not really agree with, throwing an exception. As per wikipedia's definition:
 "Exception handling is the process of responding to the occurrence, during computation, of exceptions – anomalous or exceptional events requiring special processing – often changing the normal flow of program execution."
 I think you would expect input to be invalid.
 I would have a method that asks isValid ? If it is not valid your error messages should be available in your class, to be returned to the user.
 - Tony Marston
 I with you on this, Charles. Using exceptions for simple validation errors is wrong. Why? Apart from the fact that they are *normal* and not "exceptional* errors, you can only throw one exception whereas an array of data (such as the $_POST array) may produce multiple errors.
 As for an isValid() method – totally redundant. The validation object produces an errors property which is either empty or not.
 - Charles Bryant
 Did not specifically mean an isValid method just more the question you are asking in this case I believe the method is "validate", but essentially that should return false and give you a reason to look at your error messages:
 if(!$foo->validate())
 {
 // do something amazing here ;-)
 }
 - _URL_ Amit Gupta
 I think it would depend more on thought process taken by the developer. In my opinion throwing an exception allows for more flexibility than just the plain TRUE/FALSE returned by if ( $foo->isValid() ). So like what if the rules aren't defined in the service class or something else, an exception should be thrown then. So instead of doing
 try {
 if ( $foo->is_valid( $data ) ) {
 $entity->save( $data );
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withMessage( 'success' );
 } else {
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withInput()->withErrors( $foo->get_errors() );
 }
 } catch ( RulesNotFoundException $e ) {
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withInput()->withErrors( $e->get_errors() );
 }
 I find it more convenient to do this
 try {
 $foo->validate( $data );
 $entity->save( $data );
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withMessage( 'success' );
 } catch ( ValidationException $e ) {
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withInput()->withErrors( $e->get_errors() );
 } catch ( RulesNotFoundException $e ) {
 return Redirect::route( 'registration' )->withInput()->withErrors( $e->get_errors() );
 }
 but yeah its just personal preference I'd say.
 - Roy
 This is a fantastic way of massively overcomplicating what is really a rather simple problem.

 > So much for Laravels ease of use
 Laravel does not mandate you to do it this way. The 2nd code example in the article is all you need to do data validation in Laravel, ie., pass your validation rules & your data and thats it. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
 The methodology highlighted in this tutorial is one which saves the effort of writing quite a bit of boiler-plate everytime you need data to be validated. The boilerplate code will need to be written one time atleast and thats what I've shown. For subsequent uses just extend the RocketCandyServicesValidationValidator class (created in the article above) & set validation rules for data. Thats it.
 - Ryan Exlay
 Great tutorial Gupta!
 May I ask one question?
 How to add custom error message in TestFormValidator.php
 - _URL_ Amit Gupta
 The validate() function accepts 3 parameters – $data, $rules & $custom_errors – in this order. The $rules have been defined in the TestFormValidator. For $custom_errors you have couple of options. Either you can set them in TestFormValidator itself then override the validator() function and pass the custom errors in there like:
 public function validate( array $data ) {
 return parent::validate( $data, $this->rules, $this->custom_errors );
 }
 Or you can pass them at run time when you call the validate(). Custom errors need to be an associative array with the key being the rule for which you're setting custom error & value being your custom error. If you place ":attribute" (without quotes) anywhere inside your error message then Laravel will replace that placeholder with the name of the data field for which the error is raised.
 Don't forget to check out the 2nd part of the tutorial: _URL_

Protecting the property rights of women and children in Mozambique
Evictions, confiscation of property and discrimination are among the experiences increasingly reported by widows and orphans in Mozambique. An FAO-commissioned report offers recommendations to secure women's and children's rights to property and inheritance.
Many women and children in sub-Saharan Africa have long experienced insecure rights to property and inheritance. But in some countries, the situation is being exacerbated by early deaths from disease and conflict, as well as the loss of the extended family support systems that once functioned as social safety nets for widows and orphaned children.
This is the case in Mozambique. Despite recent economic growth, Mozambique remains one of the poorest countries in the world. This, combined with the severe impact of HIV and AIDS, has had a serious impact on food security and the socio-economic well-being of rural families. Although AIDS-related deaths in Mozambique are declining, they increased from 10.3 percent to 12.5 between 2001 and 2007.
Amid the AIDS epidemic, many widows and children have been unable to inherit, or protect their inheritance of, land, livestock, housing and agricultural tools. This has left them without access to the basic means to sustain their livelihoods and avoid extreme poverty and hunger.
Widows in Mozambique have told of being evicted from their houses or run off their land by their late husbands' relatives. They have recounted how relatives have removed cattle, bicycles and other assets of value from their households.
Orphaned children who have lost both parents have reported seeing relatives take much of their parents' property from them. Often, the families that were supposed to take care of the orphans discriminated against them, providing them with less nourishment and schooling.
The FAO-commissioned report, Children and women's rights to property and inheritance in Mozambique, is based on research conducted from 2006 to 2007 by Save the Children. While the report says revamping national laws can help to protect the property rights of women and children, it also stresses the "urgent need to look beyond legal arguments and consider the community and cultural contexts as well."
In Mozambique, for example, inheritance issues, and disputes over property, are seen by many as private, family matters. This kind of cultural information should be taken into account when dealing with property grabbing from widows or orphaned children.
Despite strong condemnation of individual cases of property grabbing from widows or orphaned children, there has been little active opposition from community members or leaders who do not want to interfere unless asked. Also, relatives tend to go unpunished when they grab property from children, as adults often do not perceive a need to account for their acts towards children.
The report advocates sensitizing and building the capacity of judges, religious leaders, traditional healers and other leaders in the community to address challenges related to women's and children's property rights.
As actors most likely to be involved in local conflict resolution, community leaders and judges are in the position to ensure recognition of both formal and customary laws, and to try to reconcile the two in mediation with family councils or in community courts, where inheritance disputes are most commonly handled.
The report was produced as a resource for government institutions, non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations, and is based on research conducted in four provinces of Mozambique in 2006-07. Its main purpose is to propose possible entry points for interventions, key messages and activities aimed at improving women's and children's property and inheritance rights and access.
In addition to capacity building, the report recommends revising national property rights and inheritance laws; encouraging families to make out wills and put legal documents like birth certificates and land deeds in order; expanding paralegal assistance for victims of property grabbing; and boosting communication and education of community members, including children.
The report recommends pointing out to community members that tradition calls for the care and protection of widows and orphaned children, and that women need access to land and property to support their livelihoods, and to take care of their children. It also recommends that family members who assume care of orphaned children also be the ones administering their inheritance, to ensure that it sustains and educates the children.
Ultimately, increasing awareness of the benefits of protecting widows' and orphans' property rights would help entire communities by boosting the potential of women and children to contribute to social and economic development.
The study which formed the basis for the report was conducted in four provinces of Mozambique – Gaza, Manica, Zambézia and Napula. The conclusions are intended primarily for government institutions, national and international NGOs and community based organizations that may be able to intervene, based on their mandates and capacities.


Creating a Comprehensive Dental Office Website: Key Features to Consider
computer tablet in the hands of doctor
Today, a dental clinic website is crucial to a successful dental practice. A well-designed website can attract new patients, educate them about dental procedures and services, and help them feel comfortable and informed before their first visit. Creating a comprehensive dental clinic website requires careful planning and attention to detail. This article will discuss key features to consider when creating a dental office website.
Design and Layout:
The design and layout of a dental clinic website should be clean, modern, and easy to navigate. The website should have a professional and welcoming appearance that reflects the values and personality of the dental practice. An essential aspect of website design is ensuring the website is responsive, meaning it can adapt to different screen sizes and devices, including smartphones and tablets.
The website should also have a clear and logical layout, with easily accessible navigation menus and links. Patients should be able to find the information they need quickly and easily without searching through multiple pages or menus.
Informational Content:
One of the primary purposes of a dental clinic website is to provide patients with information about dental procedures, services, and the practice itself. The website should include detailed information about each dental service offered, including explanations of procedures, costs, and expected outcomes. It is also essential to provide information about the dental practice, such as the dentist's credentials, experience, and philosophy, as well as information about the staff and office location.
Patient Education:
Besides providing information about dental procedures and services, a dental clinic website should include educational resources for patients. This can include articles, videos, and other resources that explain dental health and hygiene, as well as tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Educational resources can help patients feel more informed and empowered about their dental health and encourage them to participate actively in their dental care.
Appointment Scheduling:
Another critical feature to consider when creating a dental clinic website is the ability for patients to schedule appointments online. This can be a convenient and time-saving feature for patients and help streamline the appointment booking process for a dental practice. The website should include a clear and easy-to-use appointment scheduling system that allows patients to select their preferred date and time and provide any necessary information.
Patient Reviews and Testimonials:
Patient reviews and testimonials can be powerful tools for attracting new patients to a dental practice. Including patient reviews and testimonials on the website can help potential patients feel more confident and comfortable choosing the practice. Reviews and testimonials can be included on a separate page or incorporated into the website's design.
Online Forms and Documents:
A dental clinic website can also include online forms and documents for patients to complete before their appointment. This can include new patient forms, medical history forms, and insurance information forms. Providing these forms online helps streamline the check-in process for patients and helps ensure that all necessary information is collected before the appointment.
Conclusion:
Creating a comprehensive dental office website requires careful planning and attention to detail. By incorporating the features mentioned above into a dental clinic website, dental practices can attract new patients, educate them about dental procedures and services, and help them feel informed and comfortable before their first visit. A well-designed and informative website can be a powerful tool for promoting a dental practice and building a strong relationship with patients.

Pegasus was a mythological horse from Greek mythology. It was supposedly a dazzling white horse with two great feathery wings sprouting from its back. It was said to be the son of Poseidon and Medusa.
After the hero Perseus slayed the gorgon Medusa, the blood that flowed from her neck spread over the ground and from it formed grassy fields and gushing rivers; beautiful trees and singing birds also came, and finally, the Pegasus. The greeks say that Pesasus flew from the isle afterwards towards the mountain Helicon, where he was watched over by the Muses. (An alternation of the story is similar as it states Pegasus was formed when the blood of Medusa met the sea foam, thus meaning that Medusa was the mother and Poseidon the father.)

How To Remove Limescale From Your Toilet
Limescale is a common problem in the UK that can leave unsightly stains in your toilet. In this guide we outline how you can remove limescale from your toilet, where it comes from and how you can prevent it coming back.
How To Remove Limescale From Your Toilet:
 1. Pour vinegar into the toilet bowl
 2. Leave for 3-4 hours
 3. Scrub the toilet bowl
 4. Flush the toilet
 5. Repeat as necessary
Step 1: Pour Vinegar Into Your Toilet
Vinegar is a great natural cleaner which will be cheaper than most specialist cleaners your can buy. First, pour a litre of white vinegar into your toilet bowl. As your pour make sure the vinegar reaches all parts of the bowl. Pay close attention to covering areas with particularly bad limescale.
Step 2: Allow The Vinegar To Sit
After you've poured the vinegar into your toilet, leave it to work its magic for 3-4 hours. If your limescale is particularly bad you can leave it overnight.
Step 3: Scrub The Toilet Bowl
Now you've let the vinegar work, it's time to use your toilet brush to scrub the areas of limescale. At this point you can also add some more vinegar if the stains don't appear to be shifting.
If you have some particularly stubborn stains, grab a pair of gloves & scrub the areas more vigorously with the scourer side of a kitchen sponge. When scrubbing, it's important to apply vinegar or water to the area first and be very careful not to scratch the surface of the toilet.
Step 4: Flush The Toilet
Once you feel you've scrubbed all of the limescale away, flush the toilet a few times to clear any remaining vinegar and mineral deposits.
Step 5: Repeat Until The Toilet Is Clean
If you've followed these steps and your toilet still isn't clean, you can repeat the process above until you can hopefully remove all of the limescale. If the stains are really stubborn, try leaving the vinegar in your toilet overnight, which should hopefully shift the limescale. If this method doesn't work for you, it could be time to replace your toilet with a shiny new one.
Remove Limescale With Cola
The acidity of cola makes it really useful for cleaning purposes, particularly when trying to break down limescale. This is another method which will save you having to buy expensive specialist cleaners.
1. Pour Cola Around The Bowl
First you'll need to pour the cola, making sure you coat the whole bowl whilst paying close attention to any problem limescale areas. Although there isn't a specific amount to use, roughly the size of a regular can of cola should be enough.
2. Leave To Sit
Next you'll need to leave the cola to get to work. This should be for at least an hour but you can leave it overnight if there's a large amount of limescale.
3. Scrub The Limescale
As with the vinegar, you'll next need to scrub the limescale with your toilet brush. You can again use gloves and a kitchen sponge to work harder at particularly stubborn areas.
4. Flush The Toilet
You can now flush your toilet and hopefully see that the limescale is removed. If it doesn't work the first time you can always repeat the process again.
Removing Limescale With Specialist Products
There's a whole host of specialist limescale cleaning products available which should help remove any stains. If you choose to use one of these cleaners, make sure it will actually remove the limescale, rather than just altering its colour.
Sandpaper Or Pumice Stones
You might hear that people have had success removing limescale by scrubbing with something harsher such as sandpaper or a pumice stone. Although this may help remove the limescale, there's also a chance that you could damage the finish of your toilet, so this isn't something we'd recommend.
What Is Limescale?
Limescale is a chalky substance that you'll find on many items throughout your home that come into contact with water. When water moves through softer rocks like limestone or chalk, it will pick up some of their minerals. These minerals will remain in the water when it reaches your home which then leads to limescale stains.
Limescale, which is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, will appear in your toilet as a brown, orange or pink coloured stain.
Hard Water Areas
Limescale is a problem in hard water areas. Hard water has high concentrations of minerals within it, compared to soft water which will have a very small or no mineral content.
Whether you have hard water or soft water will largely depend on where you live. You can check with your water company but overall, over 60% of people in the UK live in a hard water area.
Preventing Limescale In Your Toilet
As limescale is caused by the mineral content of the water supply to your home, rather than a lack of cleaning, preventing limescale buildups can be difficult. However, using the methods above regularly will help remove the limescale before it becomes a harder problem to tackle.
Lemon Or Vinegar
Pouring a small amount of lemon or vinegar into your toilet once a month can help prevent the build up of limescale deposits. The acidity of these will help wash away any smaller limescale deposits without the need for intense scrubbing.
Water Softeners
Another, albeit more expensive approach is installing a water softener in your home. These devices will remove the minerals in the hard water supply, which should prevent the buildup of limescale in your toilet.
Keeping your toilet free of limescale isn't easy but with a little bit of work, you should be able to keep it looking great. If you've scrubbed your toilet and the limescale doesn't want to budge, it could be time to replace it. Luckily, Tap Warehouse have an excellent selection of toilets to choose from.

Merging dictionaries within powershell
I needed to join dictionaries from within a list together, so that they become one whole dictionary.
First I thought it may be a trivial task. Than I used google and realized, that everything on the first page was just wrong or impracticable for lists with unknown size.
What I found, was stuff like:
$a = @{"foo"=1}
$b = @{"bar"=2}
$c = @($a,$b) | ForEach-Object {$_}
$a = @{"foo"=1}
$b = @{"bar"=2}
$c = $a + $b
The console output of $c will look identical for both:
Name Value
---- -----
foo 1
bar 2
But the issue is with the data structure. This becomes a problem when we would like to access the data.
Will output $null for the first example and "2" for the 2nd. But why is this?
Lets convert it to json (without piping, this is important) to see:
ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $c
which outputs for the first case:
 "foo": 1
 "bar": 2
and for the 2nd what we originally expected:
 "bar": 2,
 "foo": 1
So now we know that the first one did not join the dictionaries, but warped them into a list. As we originally looked for a solution to join a list of dictionaries, this is not helpful.
(From now on $c is the output from the first example, as it is the same as my original input)
The 2nd one however looks helpful, but has two issues:
 1. It only works if we know how many elements we have (hard coded element count)
 2. It copies the list once for each element we want to add to it.
So let's address these issues:
 1. For the 1st one something like this will do the trick:
 $c | ForEach-Object -Begin {[Hashtable]$aa = @{}} -Process {$aa += $_} -End {$aa} | ConvertTo-Json
 2. But for the 2nd we need something a bit more advanced like
 $c | ForEach-Object -Begin {[Hashtable]$aa = @{}} -Process {foreach($element in ($_.GetEnumerator())) {$aa.Add($element.Key,$element.Value)}} -End {$aa} | ConvertTo-Json

Plants flower faster than climate change models predict
Scientific models are failing to accurately predict the impact of global warming on plants, says a new report.
Researchers found in long-term studies that some are flowering up to eight times faster than models anticipate.
The authors say that poor study design and a lack of investment in experiments partly account for the difference.
They suggest that spring flowering and leafing will continue to advance at the rate of 5 to 6 days per year for every degree celsius of warming.
The results are published in the journal Nature.
For more than 20 years, scientists have been carrying out experiments to mimic the impacts of rising temperatures on the first leafing and flowering of plant species around the world.
End Quote This Rutishauser Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research
The bottom line is that the impacts might be bigger than we have believed until now"
Researchers had assumed that plants would respond in essentially the same way to experimental warming with lamps and open top chambers as they would to changes in temperatures in the real world.
Very little has been done to test the assumption until this study lead by Dr Elizabeth Wolkovich, who is now at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
With her colleagues she studied the timing of the flowering and leafing of plants in observational studies and warming experiments spanning four continents and 1,634 plant species.
According to Dr Wolkovich, the results were a surprise.
"What we found is that the experiments don't line up with the long term data, and in fact they greatly underestimate how much plants change their leafing and flowering with warming," she said.
"So for models based on experimental data, then we would expect that plants are leafing four times faster and flowering eight times faster in the long term historical record than what we're using in some of the models."'Consistent message'
Observational data have been gathered by scientific bodies for many years. In the UK, the systematic recording of flowering times dates back to 1875, when the Royal Meteorological Society established a national network of observers.
Since then, data has also been recorded by full-time biologists and part-time enthusiasts, and in recent years there have been mass-participation projects such as BBC Springwatch.
This new research suggests that these observations of flowering and leafing carried out in many different parts of the world over the past thirty years are remarkably similar according to Dr Wolkovich.
"In terms of long term observations, the records are very coherent and very consistent and they suggest for every degree celsius of warming we get we are going to get a fiveto six-day change in how plants leaf and flower."
She argues that the difficulties in mimicking the impacts of nature in an artificial setting are much greater than many scientists estimate. The team found that in some cases the use of warming chambers to artificially raise temperatures can sometimes have the opposite effect.
"In the real world, we don't just see changes in temperature - we see changes in precipitation and cloud patterns and other factors - so certainly when you think about replicating changes in clouds, we are very, very far away from being able to do that.
"I guess we will never get to perfectly match nature, but I am hopeful as scientists we can do much, much better, given funding resources."
The team found that the greater investment in the design and monitoring of experiments, the more accurate the result.
"We have a very consistent message from the long-term historical records about how plants are changing, but we need to think more critically about how we fund and invest in and really design experiments," said Dr Wolkovich.
"We do need them in the future, they are the best way going forward to project how species are changing but right now what we're doing isn't working as well as I think it could."
Other researchers were equally surprised by the results.
Dr This Rutishauser is at the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern in Switzerland. He says that in light of this work scientists will have to rethink the impacts of global warming.
"The bottom line is that the impacts might be bigger than we have believed until now. That's going to provoke a lot of work to probably revise modelling results for estimations of what's going to happen in the future for food production especially."
Dr Wolkovich agrees that if the models are so significantly underestimating the real world observations, there could be also be impacts on water the world over.
"If a whole plant community starts growing a week earlier than we expect according to these experiments, it's going to take up a lot more water over the growing season and if you add to that many years of the model projections, you are going to see big changes in the water supply."
She appeals to people to get involved in citizen science projects and help gather data on flowering and leafing, especially in remote areas.
The National Phenology Network in the US logged its millionth observation this week, and similar programmes are underway in the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, and a pan-European database is under development.
"We have very few monitoring networks. We need many, many people out there observing this because it is changing faster and across more habitats than we are currently measuring - we need more help!"

The Misunderstood Consequences of Shelley v. Kraemer

UCLA School of Law Research Paper No. 10-27
5th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Paper
Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) is one of the most celebrated decisions in the history of the United States Supreme Court. Nevertheless, some have argued that it was largely superfluous, because blacks lacked the capacity to enforce their rights and white neighborhoods and institutions had other methods available to stop black entry. Oddly enough, despite continuing strong scholarly interest in restrictive covenants, there has been very little empirical analysis of how Shelley changed housing opportunities of African Americans. In this paper, we attempt such an evaluation, and we find strong support for the proposition that Shelley had a dramatic impact upon the housing opportunities available to blacks. Just as important, we find that this shift in opportunities changed the dynamics of black ghettos in ways that have important implications for basic debates about urban policy and the black underclass.

Indian palm squirrel
Funambulus palmarum
The Indian palm squirrel also known as three-striped palm squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family that can be easily domesticated and kept as a pet. It is found naturally in India and Sri Lanka. In the late 19th century, the Palm squirrel was accidentally introduced into Western Australia, where it has since become a minor pest that is actively targeted for eradication due to its lack of natural predators.

Driver CPC to be monitored for unnecessary repeat training
Following a review of CPC training for drivers as a requirement of EU Directive 2018/645, adopted by the government, and recommendations from the European Commission, the DVSA are to monitor the 35 hours periodic training requirement to ensure there are no unnecessary specific training repeated.
To ensure continued professional development, knowledge of continued safe driving and road safety, training undertaken should benefit drivers and their jobs. Drivers records will be monitored to identify training that does not support professional development. The result could be action that includes revocation of the Driver Qualification Card (DQC) where unnecessary repeat training is identified.
DVSA will only allow repeated specific training if it supports a drivers development, giving an example as 'more than one day's training being required to maintain the qualification to drive dangerous goods'. They will be working with training bodies to ensure repeat training is not delivered unless it is necessary for a drivers professional development.

A whispering gallery is usually a circular, hemispherical, elliptical or ellipsoidal enclosure, often beneath a dome or a vault, in which whispers can be heard clearly in other parts of the gallery. Such galleries can also be set up using two parabolic dishes. Sometimes the phenomenon is detected in caves.
A whispering gallery is most simply constructed in the form of a circular wall, and allows whispered communication from any part of the internal side of the circumference to any other part. The sound is carried by waves, known as whispering-gallery waves, that travel around the circumference clinging to the walls, an effect that was discovered in the whispering gallery of St Paul's Cathedral in London. The extent to which the sound travels at St Paul's can also be judged by clapping in the gallery, which produces four echoes. Other historical examples are the Gol Gumbaz mausoleum in Bijapur and the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. A hemispherical enclosure will also guide whispering gallery waves.
The gallery may also be in the form of an ellipse or ellipsoid, with an accessible point at each focus. In this case, when a visitor stands at one focus and whispers, the line of sound emanating from this focus reflects directly to the focus at the other end of the gallery, where the whispers may be heard. In a similar way, two large concave parabolic dishes, serving as acoustic mirrors, may be erected facing each other in a room or outdoors to serve as a whispering gallery, a common feature of science museums. Egg-shaped galleries, such as the Golghar Granary at Bankipore, and irregularly shaped smooth-walled galleries in the form of caves, such as the Ear of Dionysius in Syracuse, also exist.

This paper presents a method for unsupervised partitioning of data for finding spatio-temporal patterns in climate data using kernel methods which offer strength to deal with complex data non-linearly separable in input space. This work gets inspiration from the notion that a non-linear data transformation into some high dimensional feature space increases the possibility of linear separability of the pattern in the transformed space. Therefore, it simplifies exploration of the associated structure in the data. Kernel methods implicitly perform a non-linear mapping of the input data into a high dimensional feature space by replacing the inner products with an appropriate positive definite function. In this paper we present a robust weighted kernel k-means algorithm incorporating spatial constraints for clustering climate data. The proposed algorithm can effectively handle noise, outliers and auto-correlation in the spatial data, for effective and efficient data analysis.

English Bulldogs, with their unmistakable squashed noses and stocky builds, are a beloved breed known for their loyalty, playfulness, and overall good nature. However, just like their unique appearance, their dietary requirements can be a tad specific. Offering the right nutrients is crucial not only for their vitality but also to avert potential health issues linked to the breed. This article delves into the best food choices for English Bulldogs to ensure they are well-fed, healthy, and happy.
Best Food for English Bulldogs: Features to Consider
- High-Quality Protein Source: English Bulldogs, while not the most active breed, still require ample protein to support muscle maintenance and overall health. Opt for foods that list a premium protein source, like chicken, beef, fish, or lamb, as one of the first ingredients.
- Healthy Fats: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for an English Bulldog's skin and coat health. Fish oil, flaxseed, and chicken fat are quality sources of these essential fatty acids.
- Joint Support: English Bulldogs are prone to joint issues like hip dysplasia. Foods fortified with glucosamine and chondroitin can help maintain joint health.
- Digestibility: Bulldogs often have sensitive digestive systems. Probiotics, fibers, and easy-to-digest carbohydrates like rice or sweet potatoes can promote better digestion.
- Grain or Grain-Free: While many modern dog foods advertise a grain-free recipe, it's crucial to understand your bulldog's specific needs. Some can digest grains without a hitch, while others might be intolerant. Consulting your vet is always a wise decision when making this choice.
- Avoid Fillers and Allergens: Cheap fillers, artificial colors, and certain common allergens (like corn, soy, or wheat) can irritate an English Bulldog's digestive system. It's essential to read the ingredient list and opt for natural, whole ingredients.
- Caloric Content: Bulldogs are susceptible to obesity. Ensure the chosen food provides adequate calories without being excessive. It's always wise to measure their food and provide regular exercise to keep them at a healthy weight.
Top Recommendations for English Bulldogs
While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, here are some renowned and vet-recommended dog food brands that offer formulations that can benefit English Bulldogs:
- Royal Canin Bulldog Adult Dry Dog Food: Specifically formulated for the breed, this food addresses bulldogs' sensitive skin, joint support, and specific jaw morphology.
- Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin: This formula is excellent for bulldogs with sensitive digestive systems and offers vitamin E & Omega-6 for skin health.
- Wellness CORE Grain-Free Dry Dog Food: High in protein and tailored for overall wellness, it's grain-free and incorporates premium ingredients.
- Blue Buffalo Wilderness High Protein: Made with real chicken, this food supports muscle growth and maintenance, supplemented with vitamins and minerals.
- Nutro Ultra Grain-Free Dry Dog Food: It incorporates a trio of proteins from chicken, lamb, and salmon, catering to the bulldog's protein needs without grains.
Feeding your English Bulldog a well-balanced, high-quality diet is paramount to ensure they live a long, healthy, and happy life. With various specific needs ranging from joint support to skin health and digestibility, it's essential to select a food tailored to their unique requirements. Always consult with your veterinarian to understand any specific dietary needs your bulldog might have. Your furry friend's health and happiness lie largely in the choices you make for their diet, so it's always worth the research and investment.


Continuous Subarray Sum
We can solve this problem by using a hashmap to store the remainder of the sum up to the current index when divided by k. If we find the same remainder again at a different index, it means there is a subarray whose sum is a multiple of k. This happens because the subarray sum between the two indices with the same remainder will be a multiple of k.
Let's look at the code:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13

class Solution:
 def checkSubarraySum(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> bool:
 remainder_map = {0: -1} # Map to store remainder and its corresponding index
 sum_so_far = 0
 for i, num in enumerate(nums):
 sum_so_far += num
 remainder = sum_so_far % k
 # If the remainder is already in the map and the distance between indices is at least 2
 if remainder in remainder_map and i - remainder_map[remainder] > 1:
 return True
 # If it's the first time we have seen this remainder, store the index
 if remainder not in remainder_map:
 remainder_map[remainder] = i
 return False
Explanation:
 - Initialize the remainder_map with 0 mapped to -1 to handle cases where the sum of the elements is exactly a multiple of k.
 - Iterate through the array, calculating the sum so far and its remainder when divided by k.
 - If the remainder is found in the map and the distance between indices is at least 2, return True.
 - Otherwise, store the index for the current remainder if it's the first time encountering that remainder.
This code checks if the given array has a subarray where the sum of the elements is a multiple of k, following the constraints provided.
Identifying Problem Isomorphism
"Continuous Subarray Sum" can be mapped to "Subarray Sum Equals K".
"Continuous Subarray Sum" asks to check if the array has a continuous subarray of size at least 2 that sums up to a multiple of a given number.
"Subarray Sum Equals K" requires finding the total number of continuous subarrays that sum up to a specific value K.
Both deal with the concept of continuous subarray sums. However, "Continuous Subarray Sum" introduces an additional condition of the sum being a multiple of a certain number.
"Subarray Sum Equals K" is simpler, as it only requires finding a sum K, without the added complexity of the sum needing to be a multiple of a specific number.

Problem Classification
Problem Statement:Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return true if nums has a good subarray or false otherwise. A good subarray is a subarray where: its length is at least two, and the sum of the elements of the subarray is a multiple of k. Note that:
A subarray is a contiguous part of the array. An integer x is a multiple of k if there exists an integer n such that x = n * k. 0 is always a multiple of k.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [23,2,4,6,7], k = 6 Output: true Explanation: [2, 4] is a continuous subarray of size 2 whose elements sum up to 6.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [23,2,6,4,7], k = 6 Output: true Explanation: [23, 2, 6, 4, 7] is an continuous subarray of size 5 whose elements sum up to 42. 42 is a multiple of 6 because 42 = 7 * 6 and 7 is an integer.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [23,2,6,4,7], k = 13 Output: false
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105 0 <= nums[i] <= 109 0 <= sum(nums[i]) <= 231 - 1 1 <= k <= 231 - 1

Rail is green
An electric railway is potentially the cleanest of all means of transport, and we are experts in electric power for railways. Our consultants design the overhead line to power the trains as well as the supply to all the other equipment associated with the railway (lighting, signalling etc).
Controlling stray currents and electromagnetic fields is an important part of further reducing the environmental impact of an electric railway. Return current from the train goes via the running rails, and the resulting stray currents in cables and pipelines are minimised by means of booster transformers that lead the current back to the overhead system. Other systems reduce electromagnetic fields.
A reliable supply
Distribution of energy to the signalling system, point heaters, lighting and buildings is via a supplementary 11 or 22kv line on the overhead system. Low voltage is supplied by transformers placed as near as possible to the end user.
Faults must be quickly and reliably isolated by means of relays and fuses. Our designers place and dimension these so that as few as possible loads are isolated in a fault situation.
We also work with systems for remote control of electric supply. These together with alternative supply routes enable us to minimise power outages. We design UPS where shorter outages would cause an unacceptable loss of function.

Video: Adding forces to mParticles
Having taken the time to examine the importance of forces in our MassFX simulations, it seems only sensible that we take a quick look at how we can work with forces in our mParticle simulations. In our start scene, we have a hopper with a funnel that we have decided will have a stream of objects emitting from it. For demonstration purposes, we will be using cubes, but of course these could be whatever we needed them to be. We can accomplish this effect by using spawned mParticles that collide with both the hopper and stand geometry. The idea is to then apply a force to the particles as they emerge, and we could of course stack forces to apply more then one if necessary.

Adding forces to mParticles
Having taken the time to examine the importance of forces in our MassFX simulations, it seems only sensible that we take a quick look at how we can work with forces in our mParticle simulations. In our start scene, we have a hopper with a funnel that we have decided will have a stream of objects emitting from it. For demonstration purposes, we will be using cubes, but of course these could be whatever we needed them to be. We can accomplish this effect by using spawned mParticles that collide with both the hopper and stand geometry. The idea is to then apply a force to the particles as they emerge, and we could of course stack forces to apply more then one if necessary.
As a first step, let's set up our collision geometries with the necessary modifiers. Let's select the hopper body and legs and of course the stand itself. Then from the Modifier List in the Command panel, we can apply a PFlow Collision Shape modifier. Now even though technically the modifiers have been instanced, you will notice that with our object still selected, we can actually edit the modifier parameters. However, if we just select one of the objects and then click the Activate button, you can see that as we select the other objects, that parameter change has been applied to all of them.
Well, let's now open up Particle view by pressing the 6 key. Straight away we will need to drag out a MassFX Flow and then just make a few quick changes. The first thing we want to do is replace our Birth Grid with a Birth Stream. Of course adding the Birth Stream operator creates a gizmo in the scene that will determine where our particles will spawn. As we obviously want to align this to our hopper, let's hit H key to bring up the Select From Scene dialog. Firstly, I will just hit the Display All button and then type Birth in the Find field.
As you can see, our birth helper comes to the top of the list, meaning we can now select it. With that done, we can enable the Move tool, come down to the coordinate display area, and enter an X value of -246, Y of -2027, and a Z value of 2700. With our particles spawn in place, let's jump back into Particle view and select the Birth Stream Operator. Over in the parameters section, again we have a few changes we need to make.
For instance we need to set the Emit Stop time to 150, the Rate to 100, our Speed needs to be set at 3000, and the Stream Source Icon size can be set to 680 by 820. Now if we take a look at what we have so far by pressing the Play button down in our animation controls, it is clear that we have a way to go in order to achieve a satisfactory simulation result. One thing that is missing is any kind of collision between our particles and the scene geometry.
To create these we of course need to add a MassFX Collision operator to our Flow. So, from the Depot, let's left- click and drag that in. Because this is a test, we need to make certain that it goes below the MassFX World operator. We can then select it and click on the By list button. Here you will see the four collision meshes listed, so let's select them all and then click the Select button. Now, if you are new to particle flow and are wondering why only the exact meshes that we are looking for seem to get listed here, this is because only valid deflectors show up when we try to add objects to a collision test.
As these are the only

How Old Should Kittens Be When They Are Weaned

What Does a Five Week Old Kitten Need? Kitties Newborn
How old should kittens be when they are weaned. Between eight and ten weeks of age, a kitten should be fully weaned and preparing to leave its mother if you plan to find the kitten a new home. The first vaccinations are typically administered at about eight weeks of age, so when the kittens have a vet visit, you can be sure they have been growing appropriately. By six to seven weeks old, they should be able to chew dry food and you'll no longer need to moisten it. Kittens are typically fully weaned by around eight weeks of age. Kittens need large amounts of energy–about two to three times that of an adult cat. Food for your kitten should contain at least 30% protein. Rushed Weaning: Kittens shouldn't be weaned suddenly. Rather, weaning should be a gradual process in which they alternate between nursing and eating cat food, slowly increasing the amount of cat food consumed and decreasing the nursing time until nursing ceases altogether. At 6-8 weeks of age, kittens are not ready to stop nursing.
Kittens should be able to relieve themselves after three weeks of age. If they are growing, gaining weight and seem healthy, things are probably good. Most kitten vaccine protocols start at 6 weeks of age. Let your vet examine them to make sure they are doing well when they get their first vaccine. Usually kittens can be weaned at 4 weeks old and the process is done when they are 8 weeks old. Or, if the kittens can already stand firmly without wobbly, introduction to solid foods can be started. However, based on the newest research which is led by Professor Hannes Lohi from Helsinki University, the weaning process is recommended to be. People often assume that once a kitten is able to eat solid food at around six weeks of age, they are able to be weaned and go to their new homes. However, this is to be discouraged, as the kitten will only just have started to get used to the new status quo, and should not be removed from the dam until they have reached the juvenile, rather.
The kittens are almost fully weaned and continue to play and learn. Being introduced to new people, places in the home, and other pets is an important part of socialization. They are pretty self-sufficient at this point, though Darling, Denby, Corduroy, Tweed, and Wembley still get comfort from mom. Kittens should eat kitten food from the time they are weaned up until they are one year old. Kittens are okay with eating either canned or dry food. The kittens should also have a constant supply of fresh drinking water. If you have gathered all the aforementioned supplies, you can start the process. The weaning process usually continues for about another month until the kittens are fully weaned between eight and 10 weeks of age. During this time, the kittens will still occasionally nurse on their mother but they will also start to eat liquid kitten food. The liquid kitten food should gradually get thicker until it is a watered-down canned kitten food or a moistened kitten kibble.
Kittens must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. If you believe this advertiser is letting their kittens go before 8 weeks of age, please report them to us. Read further information on the minimum age kittens should be before leaving their mothers While this may be true, adopting a kitten before he's old enough to leave his mother and litter mates could result in health issues and behavior problems. Most breeders and legitimate pet stores will only offer kittens for sale as young at 8 weeks, with some waiting until 12 weeks of age. When should kittens be weaned? The weaning process has to start when kittens are approximately four weeks of age, but sometimes it depends on the animal. Some kittens can be weaned when they're 1-month-old, but others have to be weaned at six weeks of age.
Weeks 5-6: The weaning kittens should start to nibble on the kibble, slightly moistened with water. Weeks 6-7: By now, the kitten weaning process is complete, and they should be eating all solid food by week seven. The kittens should be neutered when they're around four months old. If neutering is not carried out by then, you should separate males from females and the queen to prevent in-breeding. Ask your vet if you need help sexing the kittens. Rehoming – Ask your vet when is the right time to rehome the kittens. This will depend on their behavioural. Generally speaking, an 8-week old kitten should weigh between 1.4 and 2.6 pounds. Anything outside that range is a sign that your kitten is either too thin or too obese. Maine Coon kittens, 8 weeks old 8-Week Old Kitten Interaction and Socialization. You can interact with your kitten more freely once they are 8 weeks old.
Weaning refers to the process by which a kitten goes from mother's milk to solid food. The process generally begins when a kitten is around four weeks old and should be complete by eight to ten weeks. Weaning can begin earlier in the case of orphaned or hand-fed kittens. Pet owners should make the transition as easy as possible for kittens. At What Age Should Kittens Be Weaned? The weaning process normally begins when kittens are around four weeks old, and is usually completed when they reach eight to ten weeks. If you are in charge of weaning an orphaned kitten, please remember that weaning should not be attempted at too early of an age. When Can Kittens be Weaned? Experts suggest that you start to wean a kitten at about a month to six weeks old. At that age, they usually will have developed incisors and an appetite for meat. When you offer a kitten meat and she gobbles it up eagerly, that's a clear sign that she is ready to be weaned and start eating regular, solid food, at.
Normally, kittens will need to be weaned once they reach four weeks. Experts suggest that you slowly introduce solid foods into their diets by mixing soft meat with hot water so that it is easily chewed at four weeks. Don't make the mistake of mixing the food with cow's milk—cow's milk is not the same as cat's milk and should not be.

03000: Characterizing the Immunomodulatory Response of Histotripsy in Canine Osteosarcoma
Grant Status: Open
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a devastating and common cancer in dogs. Large and giant breed dogs are predisposed to OS with Scottish Deerhounds, Rottweilers, Irish Wolfhounds, and Greyhounds are associated with increased incidence of OS due to genetic factors contributing to increased risk inheritance in these breeds. Current standard-of-care treatment of canine OS involves resection of the primary tumor either via limb amputation or limb-salvage surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy to delay metastatic disease. Limb salvage surgery is associated with high complication rates and not all dogs are appropriate candidates for limb amputation. Despite various permutations in chemotherapeutic regimens, the median survival for canine OS remains at 10-12 months and improved treatment options are needed. Histotripsy is a precision non-thermal focused ultrasound method that mechanically disintegrates tissues. Histotripsy can also potentially induce immune activation towards an anti-tumor immune response. These properties translate into a unique and exciting potential for histotripsy to be an effective non-surgical limb salvage treatment for the primary tumor, and serve as an immunotherapeutic capable of inducing an anti-OS immune response against metastatic disease to increase survival. Investigators will conduct an in-vitro study to further understand the effect of histotripsy on immune cells and on metastatic development in canine OS. This study will complement and broaden the canine patient immune evaluation the research team has previously performed, and advance the progress to develop histotripsy as an immunotherapeutic in OS. Harnessing the immunomodulatory potential of histotripsy could overcome metastatic disease and offer a major breakthrough in survival expectations for OS in dogs.
