Nube De Oro - Leaf Writing Sys Test
In order to allow the agave to express his relation to light, and time, the piccolo (piccolo.cc) is used for agave leaf "writing". The simple 'drawing' is based on the data from a hibiscus glass solar cell acting as a light sensor that is transformed via arduino. The power system consists of sixty six natural dye sensitized glass solar cells -shaped after the seeds of teosinte (the mother of maize)- and two supercapacitors.
As soon as the growing agave stalk starts flowering, the agave will start writing on its leaves, as long as the cells provide sufficient power.

What is a Mother Box? Glad you asked. Read what wikipedia has to say in full, but here's a snippet:
"Created by Apokoliptian scientist Himon using the mysterious Element X, they are generally thought to be sentient, miniaturized, portable supercomputers, although their true nature and origins are unknown. They possess wondrous powers and abilities not understood even by their users, the gods of New Genesis. These range from teleportation (they can summon Boom Tubes) to energy manipulation. Mother Boxes have been seen healing the injured, including Darkseid himself, after he was beaten by Doomsday. Metron stated that each Mother Box shares "a mystical rapport with nature". They provide their owner with unconditional love and self-destruct when their owner dies.
Mother Boxes have sacrificed themselves for causes they have believed in and are greatly respected by the people of New Genesis. In physical appearance they are most often in the shape of a small box, but they can also be much larger (as is the one carried by the Forever People), and do not always need to be in the shape of a box at all (Mr. Miracle had Mother Box circuitry woven into the hood of his costume). They usually communicate with a repetitive "ping!" which can be understood by their users."
Does this not sound like the 4s iPhone?
The concept of the Mother Box is Jack Kirby's. What a fantastic imagination he had.

What does it generally mean to have standards? To some it means more work and less freedom to adhere to a particular standard. To others it means never having to worry about whether or not the appliance you buy will plug into your electrical outlet and work! (Okay, so you need adapters when you go abroad, but you get the idea.)
Web standards at UW-Eau Claire
There are many types of standards, especially when it comes to the Web. As you read through the collection of pages in this section you'll find there is a Web Style Guide that describes the standards for using the UW-Eau Claire wordmark, maintaining contact information, etc. Not all sites must adhere to the style guide, but all sites must follow the guidelines and policies for accessibility and computer usage described on Accessible Web Pages and in the UWEC Web Guidelines.
How is this helpful?
Users appreciate predictability and structure when browsing a Web site and standards help give them this. Standard coding practices mean that no matter what browser, screen reader, or PDA device is being used, information is accessible.
UW-Eau Claire uses the Associated Press Stylebook as its editorial standard. You may wish to refer to the University Communications Office's Editorial Guidelines for more information about standards for writing. Intended for printed materials, it gives useful examples of correct usage of titles, rooms and buildings, academic terms and more.

compute temp command
compute temp/kk command
compute ID group-ID temp
ID, group-ID are documented in compute command
temp = style name of this compute command
compute 1 all temp compute myTemp mobile temp
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a group of atoms. A compute of this style can be used by any command that computes a temperature, e.g. thermo_modify, fix temp/rescale, fix npt, etc.
The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where KE = total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of 1/2 m v^2), dim = 2 or 3 = dimensionality of the simulation, N = number of atoms in the group, k = Boltzmann constant, and T = temperature.
A kinetic energy tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also calculated by this compute for use in the computation of a pressure tensor. The formula for the components of the tensor is the same as the above formula, except that v^2 is replaced by vx*vy for the xy component, etc. The 6 components of the vector are ordered xx, yy, zz, xy, xz, yz.
The number of atoms contributing to the temperature is assumed to be constant for the duration of the run; use the dynamic option of the compute_modify command if this is not the case.
This compute subtracts out degrees-of-freedom due to fixes that constrain molecular motion, such as fix shake and fix rigid. This means the temperature of groups of atoms that include these constraints will be computed correctly. If needed, the subtracted degrees-of-freedom can be altered using the extra option of the compute_modify command.
A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_temp" is created when LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:
compute thermo_temp all temp
See the "thermo_style" command for more details.
See the Howto thermostat doc page for a discussion of different ways to compute temperature and perform thermostatting.
Styles with a gpu, intel, kk, omp, or opt suffix are functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware, as discussed on the Speed packages doc page. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the Build package doc page for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script by including their suffix, or you can use the -suffix command-line switch when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the suffix command in your input script.
See the Speed packages doc page for more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
This compute calculates a global scalar (the temperature) and a global vector of length 6 (KE tensor), which can be accessed by indices 1-6. These values can be used by any command that uses global scalar or vector values from a compute as input. See the Howto output doc page for an overview of LAMMPS output options.
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The vector values are "extensive".

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.


text: Regulatory activity has been demonstrated in two classes of iodinated organic species: thyroid hormones (T(3) and T(4)) and iodinated lipids (ILs), e.g. 6-iodo-5-hydroxy-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid. The formation of iodinated biomolecules requires iodide oxidation. In mammals iodide oxidation is one of several peroxidase-mediated reactions that serve to reduce hydrogen peroxide. I(2) is one of several reaction products formed by mammalian peroxidases during iodide oxidation. I(2) forms HOI in an aqueous environment which also has the capacity to iodinate organic species. This manuscript examines the potential relationship between the two classes of known mammalian iodinating species. A model describing iodination pathways for organic species in mammals is advanced. The model predicts the formation of ILs under normal dietary intake of iodine. The model was challenged by characterizing the lipids of hogs maintained on a diet containing normal levels of iodine. Iodinated lipids were found to be present in the fatty acids extracted from the thyroid of these hogs.

Field and laboratory analyses of pH, alkalinity, and specific conductance from water samples collected from the Columbia aquifer on the Delmarva Peninsula in eastern Maryland were compared to determine if laboratory analyses could be used for making regional water-quality interpretations. Kruskal-Wallis tests of field and laboratory data indicate that the difference between field and laboratory values is usually not enough to affect the outcome of the statistical tests. Thus, laboratory measurements of these constituents may be adequate for making certain regional water-quality interpretations, although they may result in errors if used for geochemical interpretations.

Local or Migrant: Which Is Which?
When robins start moving, how do you know which ones are your "own" local robins and which are migrants just passing through?
You can usually tell by their appearance unless they have been banded or color-marked. Male robins from Newfoundland and Labrador are darker than other robins. They have almost black backs, brighter red underparts, more noticeable striping on the white throat, and a bolder eye-ring. People farther south in Canada and the U.S. may notice the difference when they spot one of these robins; then they'll know for sure that these are the northern race rather than their own breeding robins. Many magazine photos of winter robins show these brightly colored ones, which make a lovely contrast against snow-covered branches and orange berries.
If you keep your ears peeled, you may be able to hear the difference between local and migrant robins. Male robins that intend to remain in your area will sing their territorial song. Robins that are passing through will occasionally sing, but not as often (especially at dawn); they tend to remain fairly quiet.

The distribution function for generalized polytropic models has been used to construct a series of numerical models of anisotropic disks. It has been shown with the help of simulation that such systems are unstable with respect to bar formation at any degree of radial elongation of star orbits. The result is completely at variance with the conclusions of earlier works, where similar models were studied. The pattern speeds and amplitudes of the forming bar were found, and the initial distributions of orbit precession rates were calculated. Such systems have been shown to fulfill all conditions for the onset of radial orbit instability, responsible for the formation of a slow bar.

The quantity of available water resources has been recognized as the key limiting factor for development of most of the arid regions. This paper focuses on the simulation–optimization for conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater on a large scale. In this study, Hetao Irrigation District in China, one of the largest irrigation districts in the Yellow River basin, is selected as a representative study area. The conjunctive management model of water resources is developed by means of dynamically coupling a large-scale hydrological model with an optimal allocation model. A groundwater level is adopted in the coupled model as the constraint condition and the optimal conjunctive utilization quantity of surface water and groundwater is set as the objective function. Finally, the coupled model is applied to calculate the optimal water supply quantity of surface water and groundwater and sustainable utilization scheme of water resources for 2020 and 2030 in Hetao Irrigation District. The modeling results demonstrate the conjunctive management model of water resources is an effective tool for appraising water resources in large-scale arid regions.

How to manually uninstall Deep Freeze
for Windows 2K/XP
by Emiliano Scavuzzo
 If you are reading this tutorial you'd probably know that Deep Freeze not always work the way it should and sometimes it can do more damage than good. Some common scenarios include the installer not being able to uninstall DF even when the disks are thawed, Deep Unfreezer not being able to thaw the disks or something worst: the system fails to boot. This tutorial explains how to manually uninstall Deep Freeze by removing it's core driver from the registry and therefore completely disabling it. This tutorial doesn't explain how to do a complete uninstallation, though. There's a lot of garbage Deep Freeze installs on the disk and registry that you'll have to find yourself, but remember that this garbage can't prevent the computer from booting or freeze the disks. You can always try to restore the registry from a point before installing Deep Freeze by using the backups saved on %windir%\repair or System Volume Information.
 This tutorial is intended for advanced users. If you don't even know what the registry is you shouldn't follow these instructions. Playing with the registry is dangerous and you could damage your system by doing so.
Always make backup copies of the registry files before trying this tutorial.
Without a complete uninstallation you may not be able to reinstall Deep Freeze on your system.
Let's get to work:
1. First we need a way to edit the registry. The way to do this depends on your situation. If your computer is thawed you can simply use Regedit. If your computer is frozen or if it doesn't boot you'll need to find another way. Here are some alternatives:
 - If you have a multiboot computer with another copy of Windows 2K/XP you can boot from there.
 - You can physically mount the disk on another computer that uses Windows 2K/XP.
 - You can use a tool that lets you boot and edit the registry. A good example of this is PE Builder that lets you build a Windows PE CD and boot Windows from there.
Windows XP can import and edit the system hive from Windows 2K (hive format 1.3) but Windows 2K can't import the system hive from Windows XP (hive format 1.5).
2. If your computer is thawed run Regedit. If it's not thawed follow one of the alternatives described above, run Regedit (or Regedt32 on Windows 2K) and import the system hive. To import the hive highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. On the menu go to File or Registry, Load Hive and open the system hive from the control, that should be on %windir%\system32\config (from the disk where DF is installed).
3. A dialog box will open and you will be prompted to enter a name for the key where the hive will be loaded. We'll use MySystem. If you are using Windows 2K, after loading the hive close Regedt32 and run Regedit.
4. Highlight the new key HKLM\MySystem (or HKLM\SYSTEM if you didn't have to import the hive) and select Edit and Find from the menu.
5. On the Find dialog box type UpperFilters and check only the Values checkbox. Then click Find Next.
6. The program will find a value with the name UpperFilters. Open this value and if there's a line with the name of the Deep Freeze driver (DeepFrz or DepFrzLo) delete it including the return, leaving the rest of the lines intact. Also, if you are using ThawSpace and you want to get rid of it delete that line too (ThwSpace), if you want to keep the ThawSpace leave it there. Press F3 to find the next match and repeat the operation until you have fixed all the UpperFilters values inside the HKLM\MySystem key.
7. Navigate to HKLM\MySystem\Select and check the value with the name Default. It has the number of the control set key that the system will use when booted. If it is 1 the control set is ControlSet001, if it is 2 the control set is ControlSet002, and so on. We'll assume the control set is ControlSet001 but you should use the one specified by the value Default.
8. Now go to HKLM\MySystem\ControlSet001\Services and delete the keys with the name of the Deep Freeze drivers (DeepFrz or DepFrzLo and DepFrzHi). Also, if you decided to get rid of the ThawSpace delete the key with the name of the ThawSpace driver (ThwSpace).
9. That's it. Now reboot and load the system where Deep Freeze was installed and you'll notice you can make permanent changes to disks that where previously frozen.

City CBD Looking South
|Population:||90,466 (2006 census)|
|Area:||116.5 km² (45.0 sq mi)|
|Region:||Darling Downs, South East Queensland|
The City of Toowoomba was a Local Government Area located in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia, encompassing the centre and inner suburbs of the regional city of Toowoomba. The city covered an area of 116.5 square kilometres (45.0 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity in various forms from 1860 until 2008, when it amalgamated with several other councils in the surrounding area to form the Toowoomba Region.
The Toowoomba Municipality was proclaimed on 19 November 1860 under the Municipalities Act 1858, a piece of New South Wales legislation inherited by Queensland when it became a separate colony in 1859. William Henry Groom, sometimes described as the "father of Toowoomba", was elected its first mayor. It achieved a measure of autonomy in 1878 with the enactment of the Local Government Act. With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Toowoomba became a town council on 31 March 1903. On 29 October 1904, Toowoomba was proclaimed a City.
Toowoomba absorbed parts of the Shire of Middle Ridge and Town of Newtown on 23 February 1917, and on 19 March 1949, following a major reorganisation of local government in South East Queensland, Toowoomba grew its area to include parts of the Highfields and Drayton Shires.
In 2005 Toowoomba City Councillor Lyle Shelton called for Toowoomba's boundaries to be expanded to encompass the area some refer to as "Greater Toowoomba", reflecting Toowoomba's suburban spread beyond the city boundaries.
In 2006 the Mayor proposed a controversial plan to recycle sewage into Cooby Dam which is used for drinking water. The federal government agreed to provide partial funding subject to a number of conditions including a requirement to hold a referendum on the issue. On 29 July 2006, Toowoomba voted against the recycled sewage project with the 'No' vote winning by 62% to 38%.
On 15 March 2008, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007 passed by the Parliament of Queensland on 10 August 2007, the City of Toowoomba merged with the Shires of Cambooya, Clifton, Crows Nest, Jondaryan, Millmerran, Pittsworth and Shire of Rosalie to form the Toowoomba Region. The former mayor of the Shire of Jondaryan won the mayoralty of the new entity.

scTour: a deep learning architecture for robust inference and accurate prediction of cellular dynamics
Despite the continued efforts, a batch-insensitive tool that can both infer and predict the developmental dynamics using single-cell genomics is lacking. Here, I present scTour, a novel deep learning architecture to perform robust inference and accurate prediction of cellular dynamics with minimal influence from batch effects. For inference, scTour simultaneously estimates the developmental pseudotime, delineates the vector field, and maps the transcriptomic latent space under a single, integrated framework. For prediction, scTour precisely reconstructs the underlying dynamics of unseen cellular states or a new independent dataset. scTour's functionalities are demonstrated in a variety of biological processes from 19 datasets.

Many pregnant women often use different essential oils for massages during pregnancy. They feel calmer and less stressed post its use. However, it is good know that the exact effect essential oils on the developing baby is not completely known. In fact, since the molecules of the essential oils are very small there is a possibility that they may cross the placenta and reach the baby's developing circulatory system. So do be very cautious about using essential oils during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. In fact, for women who are prone to miscarriages, even oils that are generally safe during the first trimester can be too stimulating.
Essential Oils during Pregnancy
The oils that are safe to use during pregnancy are:
- Frankincense – for the prevention of stretch marks, anxiety and stress
- Lavender – for the prevention of headaches and anxiety. It is safe to use it only after the completion of the 12th week of pregnancy.
- Lemon – for the prevention of nausea and morning sickness
- Sandalwood – for the prevention of insomnia, swollen ankles, aches and pains and stress
- Wild Orange – for the prevention of nausea, morning sickness and constipation
- Geranium – for the prevention of insomnia, stretch marks, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and swollen ankles
- Grapefruit – for the prevention of swollen ankles, muscle fatigue and for fluid retention. It also refreshes and energizes.
- Ylang ylang – it reduces blood pressure and reduces stress
The oils that should be diluted with another oil, called the carrier oil, like coconut oil are:
- Peppermint (However use this one sparingly as you enter the end of your pregnancy and also during breastfeeding, because some studies have shown that it reduces milk production.)
As for the oils listed below, it is best to consult your doctor before you use them.
- Basil – it is said to contribute to abnormal cell development
- Rosemary – it tends to increase blood pressure and could lease to premature contractions
- Clary Sage – it may trigger contractions and even cause uterine bleeding
- Thyme – it may trigger contractions
- Cinnamon – it may trigger contractions
- White Fir
- Parsley seed
In some cases, it is best to stay away from using essential oils altogether. Don't use any oils if you have:
- Had a miscarriage before
- Had any vaginal bleeding during your current pregnancy
- Heart issues
- Diseases relating to the liver or the kidney
Blending the Essential Oil
- Since you are more prone to being sensitive to various smells, dilute the oil well. Instead of the usual 10-12 drops per 25ml, use only 5-7 drops for every 25 ml during pregnancy.
- Blend the oil in vegetable oil, jojoba or aqueous cream.
- Don't blend the oil in baby oil as that prevents the absorption of the oil into your skin.
Treating Different Pregnancy Symptoms
To reduce morning sickness you can use the essential oils in any of these ways:
- Vaporize it in the room overnight
- Put a drop or two on your pillow edge
- Take a 5ml bottle and place a few cotton balls in it. Add a few drops of the oil and keep the bottle closed. Take a whiff of the oil whenever you are feeling nauseous.
- Use Grapefruit or Lavender for morning sickness
Essential oils that stimulate lymphatic drainage are useful to treat swollen ankles. However it is best to use these only in the 2nd and the 3rd trimesters.
- Add a few drops of Geranium, Lemon and Lavender in a large bucket of water and soak your feet in it for about 10-15 minutes.
- Add a couple of drops each of Grapefruit, Lemon, Tangerine, and Orange into a little carrier oil or cream and massage it onto your foot.
- For most other aches and pains on the back and thighs a light massage using chamomile oil feels wonderful.
To prevent stretch marks you could massage over your abdomen and breasts the below oil combination. However it is best to use them only after your first trimester.
- Diluted lavender and tangerine oil or diluted primrose oil.
- Combine couple of drops each of Helichrysum, Lavender and Frankincense with 4 Vitamin E capsules in an ounce of coconut oil and store it in a jar.
Some oils can increase the skin irritation during pregnancy. Pregnancy is a time when the skin tends to become dry and itchy. While a slow massage helps, some essential oils can have an adverse effect and increase the amount of itchiness. Some of these oils are:
- Black Pepper
- Tea tree
- Ylang Ylang
Before using these oils during pregnancy it best to first do a patch test. For this dilute the oil and then apply it on the inside of your arm. Wait for a day to see if your under arm feels itchy or not. If it does then it means that your skin is sensitive to that essential oil. To remove the itchiness from your underarm, rub some vegetable oil over the area and don't that oil again.
- When you choose an essential oil to use during your pregnancy, do make sure that you choose one that is a pure one. This is needed because often some harmful substances present in the oils can prove to cause adverse reactions during pregnancy. Chances are that if you are buying a large bottle of essential oil at a low price then it is not of a pure variety.
- Research and know which ones should be avoided during pregnancy. This is because these oils can be very potent and wrong usage can even stimulate uterine contractions.
- The first trimester is a very important time during your pregnancy. So everything that you eat or put on your body should be done with utmost care. For example even if you are using, say, oils like lavender or peppermint for your headache, dilute it in some coconut oil (called the carrier oil) before applying.
- Avoid using old, oxidised citrus, pine, fir and spruce oils
- If the essential oil gets into your eyes then wash with vegetable oil – water does not work.
- Avoid all essential oils during the first three months if miscarriage is or has been a concern.
- Try not to use one oil for an extended period of time.

The Work Programme aims to increase the number of unemployed individuals finding long term work through the introduction of payment by results. This means that finding a way to evaluate performance is vital. Currently, the success of the individual service providers is based upon the number of participants who receive a job outcome per year as a proportion of the number of unemployed individuals referred to them. The provider is then compared to set minimum performance levels (MPLs). This method of assessing success is flawed for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the method used to evaluate the success of the providers is problematic, as outlined by Paul Lester CBE in his government commissioned review on MPLs. Providers' performance is calculated as the number of job outcomes per year as a proportion of new referrals that year, despite there being no obvious relationship between the two. For example, Candidate A receiving a job outcome at the start of the year will be included, despite perhaps being referred two years previously. Candidate B who has been referred at the end of the year will also be included, despite there being very little chance of him yet receiving a job outcome. The use of one year as a time frame to compare the two is arbitrary, and influxes of referrals and fluctuations in outcomes have the potential to seriously distort the figures. Assessing providers on a cohort basis would remove this fluctuation, and create a more intuitive and representative assessment of each provider.
Further, pre-determined MPLs do not respond to changes in the job market. For example, a boom in the market would lead to a higher success rate for the provider, but no increase in the static MPL. Incentive payments are given to the contractors for performances higher than the MPL and there have been concerns companies could then make potentially unreasonable profits. What is more likely is a lack of profit for the contractors – Deloitte's selling off of its contract last year was widely reported as a strategic exit for this reason. Payment by results was introduced by the government to ensure that contractors were providing a high quality service. However, when these financial incentives are so greatly reduced by hard to reach targets, the motivation to invest the best time and effort is removed.
This is exacerbated by the fact that MPLs are standardised across the country. Latest ONS statistics show unemployment in the North East as 9.4 percent, but at only 4.4 percent in the South East. When contractors are so clearly facing a harder task in different parts of the country, to assess and reward them based on the same target is unreasonable. Cumulative figures over the whole Work Programme show that in the North East, job outcomes have been found for 20.5 percent of referrals, in comparison to 22.7 percent in the South East. Regional differences are then reinforced, as the government pays the most money to the companies doing well, which are often in the easiest areas to succeed in, whilst the hardest parts of the country suffer from lack of funds and lack of incentive, leading to worsening outcomes.
It is hard to truly assess the success of the Work Programme when the methods used to do so are so flawed. If the government is committed to using payment by results in welfare as a way to achieve more for less, then the models used to assess the performance of their contracts must be reformed. The current model is not representative or effective, and the incentive structures lost by these errors have far-reaching consequences for those that need help the most.

Imagine being asked about your hometown. That swell of pride you feel and the smile across your face while you describe growing up there. Bill Kercher based his book Character Towns: Positioning Small Cities and Towns for the New Economy on that pride in place.
As a part of the Ernest R. Bartley Memorial Lecture Series, Bill Kercher, a City Planning Consultant, with 50 years of experience in urban and regional planning in Florida, spoke about the contents of his book, which highlights the importance of small towns in America.
"Towns that do extraordinary things are usually ordinary towns," Kercher told the crowd. He continued to explain that the grand prize of a successful town is civic pride and the thriving economy that results.
Civic pride is achieved in many ways. The prime goal of a Character Town, Kercher explained, is to enhance the economy, design and environment of communities by identifying what makes them distinctive and building on these positive elements. Engaging and communicating with residents, including listening and acknowledging their input in the process not only builds trust and civic pride, but also leads to support when change occurs.
Kercher also highlighted other ways to achieve the ideal Character Town. These include creating interesting activities and places to visit, offering a variety of living options, ensuring a prosperous job market, open, vibrant and productive spaces, and city support for residents. He shared his favorite example – visiting different town-beloved ice cream shops.
But what does it take to create these ordinary, but extraordinary towns?
"Planners have a role to play in creating communities," Kercher explained. Important buildings such as City Hall, public libraries, community theaters, post offices, and iconic ice cream shops need to be placed in convenient locations and endure over time. A public library located in a more isolated location does not contribute to town character. Main streets need to be vibrant and fun, accommodating multiple uses, revitalizing historic structures, while also incorporating modern infrastructure.
Leadership is the final aspect of a good Character Town. Kercher emphasized "Vision and leadership should not be underestimated but can be undermined." Town leaders and planners need to have the motivation and drive to plan all these details to ensure the economic, physical and social aspects of the community are balanced and coordinated.
Kercher concluded his lecture noting "Planners are one of the few professions that can deal holistically with our communities." With good planners and leaders, small towns can thrive with happy residents, successful businesses, beautiful places, and plenty of civic pride.


New Method to Determine Young's Modulus of Micro Crystal Based on Raman Spectrometer
Abstract:
Article Preview
With the development of MEMS, the mechanical properties of micro crystals must to be determined to know the defect, reliability and characterization of MEMS. Young's modulus is one of the most important properties, which indicates the ability of resisting the elastic deformation. Many methods, such as natural frequency measurement, beam bending tests, membrane bulge test and uniaxial tension test, have been used to measure Young's modulus of Si, SiN and metals. But there are some limitations when they are used to measure micro crystals in MEMS. This paper puts forward a high accuracy and convenient method----using Raman spectrum to measure Young's modulus of micro crystals in MEMS, and sets up the measurement system. Measured Young's modulus of Si and GaAs in [100] crystallographic orientation are 161.113GPa and 84.128GPa respectively, which correspond with the Yong's modulus in common use now. Based on the values, it can be analyzed if there are some defects in the micro crystals.

Google Adds Easy Rewind to YouTube
Say what you don't say, but YouTube, which is constantly polished and polished, has its drawbacks. Some people think that he is slowly loading videos, others complain that ads are constantly appearing, and others do not like playlists. As in any other business, there is always someone who will be constantly dissatisfied. To prevent this from happening, the development team is trying to release something new. This time, such a new feature is the ability to rewind videos, which will make viewing them even more convenient. At the same time, not only those who use devices on Android will be able to try the update, but also those who have chosen to view iOS and even the browser.
Google Adds Easy Rewind to YouTube
YouTube rewind has become more convenient.
If you've ever had to flip through a long YouTube video to get to a 'good' place, you'll appreciate the new feature that YouTube has prepared. Now you can view not only the full video, but also chapters from it. This feature uses timestamps that creators apply to their videos, allowing viewers to easily jump to a specific portion of a video or view a portion of a video.
The function of chapters, which was called "Video Chapters", was tested by the service back in April, but now it is available to all users of mobile devices and browsers.
In order for you to be able to navigate the tags, content authors must prepare everything. To do this, they will need to add chapter information to the video description.
The first mark must necessarily coincide at the beginning of the video and be at the time stamp 0:00. The name of this piece of video should be separated by a space from time to time. Then one more mark is put on an arbitrary fragment indicating what is in this place, and so on. When you finish adding chapters, you will save your changes and the video chapters will be listed as you watch the video.
Google Adds Easy Rewind to YouTube
This is how a quick jump to fragments looks like.
Here is an example of how chapters work
There is only one limitation that must be met in order for this feature to work properly. Videos must have at least three timestamps of 10 seconds or more each. This will make them appear normally in the video description before the "more" button.
To make it easier to navigate through chapters of videos, YouTube has built-in tactile feedback on mobile devices, so users will feel the vibration informing them that they are moving into a new chapter. On platforms where tactile feedback is not available, you can simply see a thickening of the timeline and a slight sticking of the slider to its joints. That is, the chapters will be clearly visible. The chapter you're inside will be highlighted on mobile devices as well.
When I tried this service opportunity, I really liked it. This is also the case for YouTube, who said the feature received a lot of positive feedback during testing. However, apparently, the final version is slightly different from what was initially tested.
One of the changes is the ability to adapt the number of chapters displayed on screens of different sizes. This is done for the convenience of users who watch videos either in different orientations, or on different platforms. Even if there are many chapters in the video, everyone should be comfortable.
Google Adds Easy Rewind to YouTube
The chapters are clearly visible.
Despite all the convenience of the function, not all users will be able to use it yet. This is due to the fact that not all authors know how to use it yet, and not everyone has managed to adapt their videos, because this does not happen automatically. Over time, more and more videos with support for this function will appear. Therefore, if you are engaged in content production, pay attention to this and use it in your videos. Most likely, Google will even change the algorithm for evaluating the quality of videos. It used to be considered a good indicator if the video was watched to the end. This meant that the content was good and could be served in recommendations. Now, with such hints, videos will often be watched to the end, but skipping the beginning. Although, YouTube assures that the use of this feature will not affect the recommendations.
The new feature is positioning YouTube as the best resource for long content, as video navigation becomes more convenient. This feature can even boost users' interest in some videos. They won't be frustrated by having to scroll through parts they don't want to watch and poke at random places in the hope that it will be more interesting there. As a result, fewer viewers will simply leave. On the other hand, it can reduce the overall viewing time, as viewers only watch specific sections of the video instead of the entire video.
It's always nice to get new opportunities for familiar products. Especially considering that it doesn't affect old features. The convenience of this function can be compared to trying to find something in a thick book without a table of contents. It's somehow easier with him.

(CE: 194a-226a)
Diaconicon. A diaconicon is a room in a church for the use of the deacons in carrying out their duties. Etymologically the word "diaconicon" means "belonging to the deacon." In antiquity the exact location of the diaconicon in the church does not seem to have been specified. From what is known so far, the designation "diaconicon" was used in Syria for the two side rooms off the apse (pastophoria). Early Christian texts from Egypt attest the diaconicon as a side room in the church accessible from the church proper.
In conformity with the manifold duties of the deacons, the diaconicon accommodated a variety of functions. According to early Christian texts from Egypt, it served, among other things, for the setting up of the incense altar. According to other texts, the sacred vessels were kept there. Thus it is the same as a sacristy (see below). According to G. Graf, the room was called qunumiyyah, which was another word for "sacristy" (Munier, 1930, fol. 60r, 1.12).
A related term is the Arabic diquniyyah, used for a room in which, according to old witnesses, Coptic monks kept their bread (Graf, 1954, p. 46). This is, however, a room in a monastery, not in the church. The designation is rather derived from the diaconia, the institution for poor relief, which was among the oldest duties of the diaconate and later was a particular concern of the monasteries. In the monastery of Saint Matthew the Poor, the diaconia was a building of several stories, from which one could look far into the distance (Till, 1936, p. 12).

Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Soil patch next day functions: allocate nutrients to plants
Allocation of nitrogen and phosphorus to plants in a soil patch works in much the same way as allocation
of water: each plant declares a N and P demand, then the soil patch
divides up the available nutrients according to demand among all plants in the patch.
Nitrogen demand by each plant works by the potential-actual method.
The optimal nitrogen uptake for the day is calculated from an S curve of optimal nitrogen concentration over the life of the plant (as
determined by heat unit index). The shape of the S curve is determined
by plant parameters. Next the N demand is reduced to account for the
amount of nitrate in the layer and the amount of water taken up from
the layer. Because the plant takes up most of its nitrogen passively in the water solution, N uptake is
limited by water uptake. (Actually, plant roots also actively take up nitrogen by pumping ions out of the
root that replace the nitrate ions in solution, but we do not simulate that smaller portion of N uptake here.)
For leguminous plants (like peas and beans), an adjustment is made to N demand for nitrogen fixation.
Nitrogen fixation is simulated simply as a fraction of the daily nitrogen demand. The fraction of N demand met by fixation increases
with the presence of soil conditions that promote the growth of the symbiotic bacteria: soil water (more is
better, up to a point), heat unit index (midrange is best -- seedlings
haven't established the symbiosis yet, and old plants are senescing), and
available nitrate (as more is available in the soil, less is fixed). Any nitrogen fixation reduces the plant's N
demand, though it cannot exceed it. This means that nitrogen-fixing plants cannot add nitrogen to
To start the calculation of phosphorus demand, the optimal P uptake is calculated in the same way as the
optimal N uptake. Because phosphorus is more closely associated with the mineral phase than is nitrogen, the
supply of P available to the plant in each soil layer depends not on
water uptake but on the root biomass in each layer and on the amount of labile P available. The plant's P uptake in response to the amount of labile
P available is determined by an S curve. Finally the plant attempts to
compensate for inadequate P availability in some layers by increasing the demand in other layers.
Once the N and P demands have been calculated for each plant, the soil patch partitions its available
nitrate and labile P to the plants on the basis of their demands. Plants add the N and P taken up to the
total N and P in their live biomass. The soil patch subtracts the N and P taken up from its nitrate and
labile P pools. After this is finished the plants check to see if their "optimal N uptake" and
"optimal P uptake" options are turned on. If so, each plant sets its N and/or P uptake to the
optimal amount calculated as the first estimate of demand. Plants that reset their uptake for an optimal
setting do not tell the soil patch about this, because that would deplete the soil patch and cause other
changes in the soil.

Catholic wedding invitation wording
What is the correct wording for a wedding invitation?
Traditionally the name of the bride always precedes the groom's name. Formal invitations issued by the bride's parents refer to her by her first and middle names, the groom by his full name and title; if the couple is hosting by themselves, their titles are optional.
How do you write 5 thirty on a wedding invitation?
The time can be written in a variety of ways to fit your style and theme. For example, if your wedding is at 5:30 p.m. the traditional wording to use is "half after five o'clock" or " five – thirty in the evening." If this is too formal for your style, you may write the time simply as 5:30 p.m.
How do you write a formal wedding invitation?
Proper Assembly: Step 1: Lay your wedding invitation down with the wording facing up. Step 2: Place your reception card, wording side up, on top of the invitation. Step 3: Tuck your response card, wording side up, under its envelope flap and place on top of the reception card.
How do you write an invitation message?
Invitation Letter Writing Tips It must include the address, date, and time of the event on the left side of the letter. Make sure to mention the salutation at the beginning and your signature at the ending of the letter. Make sure to write a grammatically correct and concise letter.
What do I say on an invitation?
Basic Information for All Invitations There are some things that all invitations should include. You'll want to let your guests know the purpose of the event (if there is one), the time (start and end), the place, special instructions (for example, costume party), and style (formal or casual).

Do you write out Doctor on wedding invitations?
A wedding invitation is issued by the host(s). The hosts' name(s) are spelled out and include middle names and titles. Doctor should be spelled out, unless the name would be too long to fit on one line. The phrase "the honour of your presence" is used when the ceremony will take place in a house of worship.
Do you use full names on wedding invitations?
It is proper to address a wedding invitation to a person's full name. For those using an inner envelope, then the outer envelope can omit them, while the inner envelope has the full names of everyone invited, but for those who only have one envelope, it should be addressed to everyone in full.
What is the correct way to write RSVP?
An RSVP card kindly asks your invitees to "répondez, s'il vous plaît," which is where the four letters from R.S.V.P. come from. "Répondez, s'il vous plaît," means "please reply" in French. This English adapted abbreviation stands for the signal for a requested response from guests.
What is a formal invitation?
Formal invitations are standard for events that call for formal or cocktail dress, such as weddings. Addresses, dates, and times are typically spelled out. A formal invitation card should use third person (e.g., they, their) rather than first (e.g., I, we, my, our) and include the full names of the event's hosts.
What is the tissue paper in wedding invitations?
If a sheet of tissue paper came on top of each invitation, it's your choice whether to leave it in or not. Traditionally, it was used to keep the ink from smudging. While most inks used these days won't smudge, the tradition has continued.

Photo: Gov. Riley
Alabama Gov. Bob Riley last week unveiled Virtual Alabama, a comprehensive database of satellite imagery and aerial photography designed to assemble, display, evaluate and share critical data for emergency responders. Riley was joined by Google Earth Chief Technology Officer Michael T. Jones and Alabama Homeland Security Director Jim Walker to demonstrate the uses and capabilities of the new tool for state officials.
At Riley's direction, the Alabama Department of Homeland Security and Google Earth have been working to create a visualization tool that provides a common operational picture across the state that first responders, county planners and other officials can use to get detailed geographic views overlaid with pertinent information.
Equipped with the Google Earth platform, the state's Department of Homeland Security can model hazardous explosions with plume threat measurements and build three-dimensional models of schools, bridges and other critical structures. Virtual Alabama can overlay those models and satellite/aerial imagery with the locations of fire hydrants, gas pipelines, hazardous chemical data, and other important information that can help emergency personnel.
With such data, Homeland Security officials can plan more effective disaster response scenarios and prepare emergency teams to be better equipped to respond to crises. For example, this information can be shared with local firefighters before they enter a burning building.

Thinking With Pigs
Certain animals, as the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss explained in his study of totemism, are good for thinking with (Totemism, 1963). Here are a collection of quotations from individuals, both eminent and obscure, that use pigs in their speech.
In our thoughts and words, pigs are generous figures of speech. They freely lend their intrinsic nature to us for simile and metaphor, hyperbole and idiom. Pigs are also handy to use in personification or in analogy and allegory. And pigs are certainly good for swearing.
The thought of 'pig' in all its attendant meanings is an indispensable element of language in every culture that has encountered the pig. Handy and useful, 'pig' augments the meaning of many concepts — appearance, attitude, behavior, food and even currency.
Throughout the pig's association with man, their use to think and speak with has farrowed ideas and images as fit for a reflective pig as for a man to consider. Many within our swinish multitude have seen fit to utilize the pig in thoughts and words and our world is far richer for it.

Installation and maintenance procedure of thin wall deep groove ball bearing
wallpapers Environment 2021-05-08
1、 Bearing installation and disassembly must be careful

Different types and sizes of thin-walled deep groove ball bearings have different installation methods and tools, including mechanical or hydraulic. Here is to explain some general basic installation methods and precautions.

First, do not install the ball hard, which will lead to local overload of the ball and contact surface, leading to premature failure of the bearing.

Second, do not use hard tools, such as hammers, elevators and so on to knock the surface of the bearing, which will make the outer ring of the bearing fracture or brittle.

2、 Cleaning of bearings

A clean environment is very important for bearings. The surface roughness accuracy of thin-walled deep groove ball bearing ring and rolling element is about 1 / 10 μ m. If the smooth ball surface is polluted, its influence is very serious. The lubrication layer between rolling surfaces is usually 0.2 ~ 1 μ m. The particle type impurities larger than the lubricant particle size will be over rolled by the rolling element, which will produce local pressure in the self-aligning roller bearing steel, and eventually lead to permanent material fatigue. In addition to this, the size of dust particles in the external environment can reach 10 μ m. It can also cause damage to self-aligning roller bearings. Because of this, clean and tidy working environment for the bearing is how important ah.

3、 Process inspection of bearing

In the process of use, the working temperature of the bearing is detected by hot drying. If the temperature exceeds the specified limit, the alarm will be given automatically to prevent the occurrence of shaft burning. High temperature is often used to indicate that the bearing is in abnormal condition. High temperature is also harmful to bearing lubricants. Sometimes the overheating of thin-walled deep groove ball bearings can be attributed to the lubricant of the bearings. If the temperature of the bearing exceeds 125 ℃ for a long time, the service life of the bearing will be reduced. The causes of high temperature bearing include: the bearing may be lack of lubrication, unqualified lubricant, which contains impurities, when the load is too large, it may also be that the internal clearance of the bearing is not enough, and the oil seal has friction and so on.

When we think of great literature, our minds probably reflect on the works of some of the classic authors. For example, the writing of William Shakespeare, Jane Austin, Earnest Hemingway and Mark Twain might come into play. Perhaps you like newer works by people like Stephen King.
There are some authors that have written incredible poetry books, novels and various other works from any number of genres that don't quite get the recognition as the brilliant minds that they truly are. Although quite famous, one such example of someone who might fit this mold this the incredible children's storyteller Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
What makes his works so incredible?
1. The poetic and inventive nature
There is no doubt Dr. Suess was incredibly imaginative. He not only created charters and locations but even delevoped is own words and language in some cases. Not too many authors have been able to pull that off.
2. Many, if not all stories, have a deeper meaning
If you look beyond the silly surface, several of Dr. Suess' works are quite profound. For example, the story of the Grinch deals with discrimination. "The Lorax" focuses on respect for our planet and the environment. "Green Eggs and Ham" encourages us to not be afraid to branch out from the familiar.
The next time you think about literary genius, consider adding Dr. Suess into the conversation.

Run of River Hydro - Latest Innovations in Diversion Dams and Sediment Exclusion
Author: Sam Mottram, Keith Ainsley, Egbert Scherman
Conference: 84th Annual Meeting of International Commission on Large Dams
Date: May 15-20, 2016
The exclusion of sediment for hydropower intakes and the flushing of sediment from reservoirs in order to maintain live storage are critical to the long- term viability and sustainability of hydroelectric projects around the World. This paper presents several design innovations and case studies of run-of-river diversion dams and intakes incorporating inflatable rubber dams, vortex de-sanders and Coanda screen intakes for sediment exclusion and flood passage. It presents the findings of physical and CFD model tests, case studies of operating facilities and lessons learned. The projects showcased include:
- The 147 MW East Toba Hydroelectric Project with inflatable rubber dam for sediment scouring and flood passage.
- The largest capacity Coanda Screen intake in the World on the 45 MW Kokish River Hydroelectric Project, designed for sediment exclusion and fish passage.
- Case studies and lessons learned from 8 other run- of- river hydroelectric projects recently constructed that use crest gates (i.e. rubber dams, Obermeyer crest gates or similar) and/or Coanda Screen intakes for sediment flushing and exclusion.

Food & Farm News

» September 12, 2007 «
Siskiyou County strawberry plant nursery growers report vast improvement since a July storm damaged their fields. However, it still is uncertain how many plants will be available this fall. Farmers who want to plant early may find shortages will be greater than those who normally plant later. Plant harvest will start about a week later than usual. Weather since the storm has been good, and some plants that looked dead have rebounded. The California Strawberry Commission and the county's agricultural commissioner's office agree there will be a shortfall, but no one is certain what the impact will be on next years production.
As farmers harvest, farm groups are pressing Congress to pass the AgJOBS bill. That's a measure that would provide temporary foreign workers to assist in farm production. Thus far reports from farm fields indicate that the labor supply this year is tight. But, growers are concerned about the impact of a federal administrative rule which would require farmers to dismiss workers whose Social Security numbers do not match their names. That could lead to a labor shortage as production peaks.
Tiny phorid flies and two parasitic microsporidia are the latest weapons researchers have found in the battle against the red imported fire ant. Research entomologists say the new insects only attack the red imported fire ants. That insect has been confined to three Southern California counties since being found in the state. The researchers hope to slow the spread of red imported fire ants in southern states. California entomologists believe they could eradicate the pest here if state funding is resumed.
California-grown pumpkins are headed to retail stores, and some chains already have them for sale. Growers say this has been a good year for pumpkin production as it wasn't as hot as last year. California farmers have also started shipping pumpkins to Hawaii for Halloween. Growers say there should be adequate supplies. But, while production looks promising, farmers caution that pumpkins do not like heavy rain. Thus a storm over the growing areas could reduce crop size.Top

 @Cd={0,1,0};

All it does is set all particles red, but if the hittotal is greater than 0, make it green. Rewind and playback the sim, should do as expected.
Replicate particles
Now to replicate points on collision. There's a node to do exactly that, popreplicate. If thats created and inserted after the wrangle, you'll see all points get a cloud of new points around them that track with the parent. Not quite what we want. First, to make them only replicate when the particles collide, we'll use a pseudo group at the top. Make the group
@hittotal>0
That should now make the replicated particles only appear after a hit. Next, to make them do something interesting. Go to the attributes tab, and set inherit velocity and radial velocity to 0.5. That makes them diverge from their parent particle in a more interesting way. If you change the initial velocity dropdown to 'add to inherited velocity', you get access to the extra controls to add more variance, which can help.
Finally on the shape tab I set the mode to circle, and on the birth tab I set the lifespan to 2, const activation and cost rate to 0, and impulse activation to 1, and impulse count to 20. Pops can emit either as a rate per second (constant) or as a fixed amount (impulse), here I want an explicit amount of particles replicated per collision.
Pops and grid noise
Grid pops.gif
Download scene: File:grid_particles.hipnc
Many ways to achieve this effect, here's my take. The core is just setting @v of particles with curl noise, but processed curl noise so it stays rectilinear. To do that uses some simple logic; the curl noise generates smooth swirling vectors. Each particle gets that vector based on its current location, and determines the largest component of that vector. It then multiples that component by 1, and the rest by 0. Eg, if the vector is {5,2,1}, the biggest component is 5, so it multiplies that vector by {1,0,0}, giving {5,0,0} as the final velocity.
The particles are coloured white, meanwhile their trails are created using an add an solver sop, coloured green, and merged with the original particle. The advantage of using curl noise is it should keep the particles and lines from intersecting too much, without requiring collision detection.
Grow trees with particles
Pop tree.gif
Download scene: File:pop_tree_grow.hipnc
Simple in hindsight, but needed a few attempts and some reading to get this working (especially this great post from odforce).
The replicate pop is self explanatory, but I couldn't work out how to make it recursive. Ie, I could make it split a particle once, but I couldn't split the splits. Turns out the answer is simple; all emitters have a 'stream' parameter, which is basically a group in dops. By default they're set to $OS, so each emitter gets its own group name. To get recursive splitting, make sure that the replicate pop and the emitter pop (a location pop here) share the same stream name. Here I'm thinking of those particles as leaders, so they get the stream name 'leader'.
Next was how to control when and how many splits occur. The replicate pop can use a point attribute to drive its splits, so I create a @split attribute, which is driven by the particles normalised age (@nage). When it gets above a threshold, @split is set to 1, which allows the replicate pop to start splitting.
Finally there's another replicate pop with most of its options disabled, which generates a trail behind the leader particles.
There's more subtle things to watch for, suitably annotated in the hip file.
I like the idea that you have access to all the pop tools to control growth; collisions, forces, wrangles, being affected by volumes... plus for these little tests, watching the growth is quite soothing. It might get frustrating if you need to model a tree on a short timeline, but for now, its pretty good fun.
This is also an interesting scene to play with in terms of pop ordering; swapping stuff around can get very different results. There's also many ways to control the growth pattern. Here I'm using in interact pop (so the leader particles avoid each other and existing branches) and a wind pop (for general noise), but even simple things like controlling how much the branch replicate pop inherits velocity can have massive changes in look.
There's also an attempt in this scene to generate some reasonable geo; I sweep each branch, then convert to vdb and back to generate a watertight mesh. The result has usual usual isosurface irritating edge flow that's purely worldspace aligned, but hey, it fixes the seams, and required no effort on my part.
Grow roads with particles
Road demo.gif
Download scene: File:road_builder_v01.hipnc
Very similar to the previous example. This time it grows from a grid rather than a single point, and the forces try to keep the particles moving randomly along N/S/E/W. They'll avoid each other if they can, and if they get into an area that's too dense, they'll stop.
The last bit of this setup is an experiment in fusing the curves together, finding the biggest island, then doing random start/end selections for the find shortest path sop to prove that this is a navigable road setup. Fun!
Fake differential growth
Curve grow fast.gif
Download scene: File:curve_grow_pops.hipnc
Inspired by this great odforce thread.
Similar but different again to the previous two examples. Pop interact, wind, drag are the main pop things here, the main difference is how geo enters the pop network, and how new points are added.
The pop source node, source tab, birth type is 'all geometry'. This means rather than growing particles from the input, it literally brings the geometry itself into the pop network, edges, faces, all of it. In its default mode it'll then happily create hundreds of copies of this per second. Obviously we don't want that, so a '$F==1' expression in the birth tab means it'll only emit 1 copy on the first frame.
To add new points, its just a resample sop, so new points are added onto the line itself. But how can you call sops within a dop network? Using a sop solver of course! (This is the original, 'real' home of the sop solver, the sop sop solver (!?) is actually a wrapper around a dopnet, with a dop sop solver inside. ) Anyway, inside the sop solver is a resample node, easy enough.
But how do we make the pop solver and sop solver aware of each other? With a multisolver of course! (None of this is intuitive btw, don't be alarmed). The pop and sop solvers go to the right input of the multisolver, and then you disconnect the pop object and reconnect it to the left input of the multisolver.
While it's mostly stable, there's still a few places where the curve crosses over itself. More subsamples or higher drag would probably fix this.
Grow 3d.gif
Download scene: File:curve_3d_grow.hipnc
With a tip from Yader on the forums, got a 3d version going too. Take the geo you want to grow this over, merge it into the popnet as a static collider. In sops, give it point normals, convert to VDB using @N as a vel field. Create a 'pop advect by volume' force, point it to the vdb, set its strength to be negative, this will push the particles onto the collision shape.
Pop stick to surface
pop stick v01
Pop stick.gif
Download scene: File:pop_stick_to_surface.hipnc
No doubt there's lots of ways to achieve this effect, here's my take. The popnet contains some curl noise, and then this in a pop wrangle:
int pr;
vector uv;
float d = xyzdist(1,@P,pr,uv);
@P = primuv(1,'P',pr,uv);
Trick that I learned a while ago, forgot, relearned again recently. xyzdist tells you the distance to the closest prim, and optionally the primid and uv of the closest surface location on that prim. Can then feed that to a primuv node to get the actual world position, and force the particle @P to that position.
Interestingly, this doesn't work well on a deforming geometry target. For this example I took the lazy way out; I just freeze the input walking mesh, do the popsim on that, and then reapply the motion with a point deform.
Tried a few alternative methods, while the final method isn't too complex, I expected to find a pop node to do this. I'd tried the crowd terrain project stuff with crowd, worked well

If it is the pages in the reverse order, click on the Office button and then on Word Options and then on Advanced and scroll down to the Print section of the dialog and uncheck the box for "Print pages in reverse order".
How do I fix my printer from printing backwards?
Open the Printer Control Panel and find your printer. Right-click it and select Properties. Go to the General tab and then click Printing Preferences and then go to the Advanced tab. Look under Printer Features and select Mirror Image and then click the down arrow to the right of that field and click Off.
How do I change the order of printing?
Printers usually print the first page first, and the last page last, so the pages end up in reverse order when you pick them up. To reverse the order: Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and press the Print button. In the General tab of the Print window under Copies, check Reverse.
How do I change the printer on my Epson printer?
Select Printer Settings from the drop-down list, and select the Basic settings tab. Select Advanced. You will find the predefined settings in the list on the right of Automatic. Select the most appropriate setting from the list according to the type of document or image you want to print.
How do I reverse print?
Microsoft Word has a single command that forces the printer to reverse print every print job:
- Open Word, then click Options > Advanced.
- Scroll through and come to the Print section on the right.
- When you want to reverse print a page, select the Print Pages in Reverse Order check box.
What is reverse printing?
To print or display the opposite background and foreground colors. For example, a typical white page with black text would be reverse printed as white characters on a black background.
How do I print an array in reverse order?
Q. Program to print the elements of an array in reverse order.
- Declare and initialize an array.
- Loop through the array in reverse order that is, the loop will start from (length of the array – 1) and end at 0 by decreasing the value of i by 1.
- Print the element arr[i] in each iteration.
Why is my printer printing the first page first?
If your printer prints with the printed side down (face down printing), it will print the first page of the job first, but if you have a printer that prints with face up, it must print the job in reverse or you will have to manually reverse the order of the pages after you print a job.
Why is my printer printing upside down?
Checking the physical printer settings When trying to print from ProFile the selection in print setup may be conflicting with the printer settings, causing some of the pages to print upside down. The default printer's properties should be set to duplex printing/double sided printing.
Why is my printer printing mirrored?
Mirrored Printing If your printed pages emerge looking like the mirror image of your original document, you've activated – accidentally or otherwise – the ability to invert page direction without changing the colors or sizes of the items on the page.
How do I print a booklet in pages in order?
Print a booklet on a double-sided printer
- Open the print dialog.
- Click the Properties…
- Under Range and Copies, choose Pages.
- Type the numbers of the pages in this order (n is the total number of pages, and a multiple of 4):
- Choose the Page Layout tab.
- Click Print.
How do I change the order of my printers in Windows 10?
However if you wish to change the first one, you can go into CONTROL PANEL > DEVICES AND PRINTERS and then right click on the printer you use most and select SET AS DEFAULT PRINTER. This will change your default printer, or the one on top.
How do I print a document in order?
Press [Ctrl], and select the files you want to print. (If the files are adjacent, select the first file in the list, press [Shift], and select the last file in the list.) Right-click the selection, and select Print from the shortcut menu. Select the desired print options, and click OK.
