Vaisala WINDCAP WMT700 ultrasonic anemometer
|Within Vocab||SeaVoX Device Catalogue|
|Alternative Labels||WMT700 Ultrasonic anemometer|
|Definition||A series of 3-axis wind sensors utilising ultrasound to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. The instrument operates under the principle of measuring the transit time of ultrasound from one transducer to another. The transit time is measured in both directions for a pair of transducer heads, using two measurements for each of the three ultrasonic paths at 60 degree angles to each other. From this, the instrument computes wind speed and direction. The WMT700 series of anemometers have a measurement range of 0 - 90 m/s for wind speed depending on the model, all with a resolution of 0.01 m/s. The instruments have an observational range for wind direction of 360 degrees, a resolution of 0.01 degrees, and an accuracy of +/- 2 degrees.|

text: Scattering of elastic waves by an alluvial valley of arbitrary shape is investigated. The valley, embedded into linearly elastic, homogeneous, and isotropic half-space, is subjected to incident plane harmonic wave. Surface displacement field is evaluated numerically for semi-elliptical alluvial valley and incident SH, P, SV, and Rayleigh waves for different depths of the alluvial valley. The results indicate that the interface depth might influence differently the surface displacement field for different incident waves and at different frequencies. At low frequency (Ω = 0.4) and fixed angle of incidence (θo = 30°), the surface displacement field due to SH waves is less sensitive to the increase in the interface depth compared to surface motion due to P and SV waves. At higher frequency (Ω = 1), the surface motion is very sensitive upon the change in depth of the interface.

Microsoft vcpkg C++ Library Manager
visibility 248 comment 0
Microsoft vcpkg is a C++ library managers for Windows, macOS and Linux. For.NET, nuget is the commonly used package manager; for Java, Maven central and many other repositories are used by Maven or other build tools; for JavaScript, npm is a commonly used package manager and it is also the default package manager for JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. Microsoft vcpkg serves as similar purpose for C++ developers.
Install vcpkg on Windows
Before we can install vcpkg, make sure the following criteria are met:
 - Git - for cloning repository from GitHub
 - Windows 7 or newer
 - Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or greater with the English language pack
Follow these steps to install vcpkg.
 1. Create installation folder. I recommend creating the folder in C drive to avoid path related issues.
 C:\>mkdir dev
 C:\> cd dev
 2. Clone the repository using the following command:
 git clone
 3. Run the following command to install vcpkg:
 4. Wait until the command is completed successfully.
Now we can use vcpkg to install C++ libraries.
Find libraries
Subcommand search is used to search libraries. The syntax looks like the following:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg search [search term]
For example, the following command searches for library openssl:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg search openssl
openssl 1.1.1i OpenSSL is an open source project that provides a robust, commercial-grade, an...
openssl-unix 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
openssl-uwp 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
openssl-windows 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
The results include a number of openssl related libraries.
Integrate vcpkg with Visual Studio
Run the following command to integrate vcpkg with Visual Studio:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
The output looks like the following:
C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
Applied user-wide integration for this vcpkg root.
All MSBuild C++ projects can now _TAG_ any installed libraries.
Linking will be handled automatically.
Installing new libraries will make them instantly available.
CMake projects should use: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
As mentioned in the output, you can include any installed libraries in your MSBuild C++ projects.
Use vcpkg in CMake
To use vcpkg with CMake outside of an IDE, you can use the toolchain file for CMake:
cmake -B [build directory] -S. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
For this article, the path is:
cmake -B [build directory] -S. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
Use CMake with Visual Studio
Open the CMake Settings Editor, and under CMake toolchain file, add the path to the vcpkg toolchain file:
Example - openssl
Now let's implement this example that installs openssl: CMake Build Error - Could not Find OpenSSL on Windows 10.
Follow these steps:
 1. Run the following command to install package openssl:
 C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows
 Alternatively, you can also use the following command:
 C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg install openssl --triplet x64-windows
 I am using triplet x64-windows to match my project requirements. By default x86 triplet will be used.
 The following text will be printed out if in your system CMake version is lower than 3.19.2. I would recommending upgrade CMake versions.
 A suitable version of cmake was not found (required v3.19.2). Downloading portable cmake v3.19.2...
 Downloading cmake... -> C:\dev\vcpkg\downloads\
 For the first time, many other dependencies will also be downloaded. It will takes a while to download for the first time.
 2. Test openssl by running the following command:
 C:\dev>openssl version
 OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020
 3. Create a project folder named C:\hdp\cmaketest.
 4. Create file CMakeLists.txt in the project folder with the following content:
 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
 # set the project name
 # Find package
 find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)
 5. Change directory to C:\hdp\cmaketest.
 cd /D C:\hdp\cmaketest
 6. Run CMake command:
 cmake. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="C:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows"
 The output looks like the following:
 7. Congratulations, openssl dependency is met.

Instructions for Curing Your Pizza Oven
Follow these instructions for curing your pizza oven. Curing wood fired ovens is critical to your pizza oven's performance. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage up to and including cracking the dome, severely impacting heat retention.
NOTE: If you have a gas assist commercial oven, there are shortcuts to the curing process you can find in the Installation Manual. A Forno Bravo technician can be made available through our contact form to help walk you through some tricks to make this easier.
1-Why is proper curing so important?
When cast, your oven contains a high ratio of water to concrete that has to be baked out of the oven. This curing process actually strengthens the dome when done properly. However, if the oven gets too hot too fast, that water seeks to escape the entire dome's thickness simultaneously and can result in cracking the dome.
Also, after you have installed your oven, there is still a great deal of moisture in the mortars, hearth concrete, vermiculite, and the oven chamber and vent. Each of these oven components was recently produced using an air-drying, water-based process. Simply letting the oven stand for a week does not "cure" the moisture out of the oven.
2-Can I cure the oven dome without installing the insulation and decorative facade?
Technically you can, but it isn't recommended for a few reasons:
- Without insulation, you will experience heat loss making it more difficult to manage to proper temperatures;
- Without insulation, it can present a fire and safety hazard;
- After cure, your oven can reach temperatures in excess of 1000 deg F, so if you cure it, then do your stucco facade, the first time you cook pizza the stucco will also have water that tries to dry and cure causing it crack and possibly ruin your seal on the oven.
3-When can I start my curing process?
Before you start the curing process, let the complete oven sit for one week. It doesn't matter if it rained during that week, moisture often helps the natural strengthening of the refractory material.
If you purchased a fully assembled pizza oven from Forno Bravo, this doesn't apply as the assembly time in our facility is sufficient.
4-How do we cure the oven?
While it is difficult to maintain consistent, low-temperature fires, it is critical for proper curing that you do not go above these temperatures during the first two days.
It is important that you cure your pizza oven slowly over a 5 day period. You build a series of five increasingly larger fires, starting with a low temperature (see below). The first-day fire is no more than kindling and thin strips of wood.
Day 1: 300ºF for 6 hours (longer is better)
Start and maintain the fire in the center of the interior dome wall, not on either side or back of the oven. You don't want the fire to get too high and touch the dome as direct contact with the fire will spike temperatures.
You won't put the door all the way in the oven, but rather use it as a windbreak allowing about a 1-inch gap once the fire is lit. Lean the door back on its handle allowing the temperature gauge to get an accurate temperature. Also, this will help direct the smoke up the vent because at lower temperatures the wood will not burn off the impurities as fast.
Using the analog temperature gauge provided in the oven door/frame. The temperature gauge reads the oven's air temperature. For a more accurate temperature reading of the oven refractory surfaces, which can be use for many types of cooking, you can use the optional Digital Infrared Thermometer, which can be purchased in the Forno Bravo Store.
You want to measure the temperature at the dome of the oven, not the side wall or floor. This will be the hottest point of the oven. The temperature can vary slightly, but try not to exceed the temperature for that day's cure schedule by more than a few degrees, better to be 20 degrees cooler than hotter. Especially on day one and two.
Close the oven door every evening to preserve dryness and heat.
Day 2: Repeat process at 350ºF
Day 3. Repeat at 400ºF
Day 4. Repeat at 450ºF
Day 5. Repeat at 500ºF
- Use solid wood fuels only.
- DO NOT use charcoal, pressure treated lumber, chipped wood products, sappy wood such as pine, laminated wood or any material other than dry medium or hard firewood.
- DO NOT USE liquid fuel (firelighter fluid, gasoline, lantern oil, kerosene or similar liquids) to start or maintain a fire.
- You can start the fire with an acetylene torch if you have one handy.
- Food grade fire starters are considered acceptable aids when starting a fire.
- Do not use products not specified for use with this oven.
- Never use water to lower the temperature inside the oven, or to extinguish the fire. This will increase wear and tear on your oven and can lead to "spalling" pitting and cracking your floor tiles.
- There must be a period of time between completing the masonry work and beginning the actual firing cure.
- Longer is better than shorter, particularly for the actual dome cement.
- The cement and mortar must cure first and this process is actually improved by keeping the cement moist and not letting it dry out.
- Space heaters should not be used to cure an oven. It will produce a high amount of steam in the oven and can become a safety hazard so it is not recommended.
- If you notice a black smoke coming from the oven, don't panic, that is food grade grease which is used in the de-molding process. The smoke will be a little heavy for the first 2 days and will dissipate through the rest of the curing process.
Congratulations. Your oven is complete and ready for Cooking.

Home Politics Capital or Not; You Can't Change Importance Of Karachi
Capital or Not; You Can't Change Importance Of Karachi
Capital or Not; You Can't Change Importance Of Karachi
Capital or Not; You Can't Change Importance Of Karachi:
Karachi is the megacity of Pakistan. It is the fifth-largest city globally in terms of population and the seventh-largest in terms of area. It is also the first capital of Pakistan, which Muhammad Ali Jinnah selected. It is home to communities from across the country.
Karachi is a melting pot of many different flavours. It is home to many religions, races, uncountable spoken languages, many diverse cultures, glorious architectural heritage, and a safe and natural harbour in its south gives it a sophisticated touch. Capital or not, you can't change the importance of Karachi.
Karachi Assists In Building Pakistan:
Pakistan without Karachi is Pakistan without its backbone. Karachi helps build Pakistan as it is the major contributor to the economy. As per an estimate, it generates about 70 to 75% of the revenue of the country. It is mainly due to the presence of the two ports in the city. The airport of Karachi is one of the busiest in Asia.
All foreign countries' priority is to invest in Karachi because of what the city has to offer. Karachi is the heart of Pakistan. If it stops beating, Pakistan will stop working. If the industries of Karachi are shut down for a single day, Pakistan's economy will suffer severe damages. In other words, Karachi is a money-making megacity.
The city of Karachi is heaven for Pakistani street food lovers. Food has always been the highlight in Karachiites' life. One of the most significant influences on the food here comes with the Urdu speaking Karachiites. They migrated from different parts of India at the time of partition. Downtown Street on Burns Road had long been a food hub for Karachiites. This food street is famous for traditional food items.
The people of Karachi are very well cultured and polite. They are educated, intelligent, fast and speak the national language of the country, i.e. Urdu, beautifully. They are more politically aware than the rest of the country. You can find all colours of Pakistan because people from all over the country are living here.
This cultural diversity creates a beautiful mix of cultures and traditions. As a result, it makes this city a fantastic place to live in. The economic development of Pakistan is only because of Karachiites who work hard for the development of the economy.
Dating Back To The British Victorian Era:
Karachi is one of the historical cities that is connected to its past. Some of the houses in Karachi are built on old architectural designs created in the Victorian era. The Merewether Clock Tower, Empress Market and Frere Hall are some of the beautiful architectural pieces of the city.
The Nightlife:
Why is Karachi the city of lights? Because most of the people in Karachi are working till late at night. There is a famous line about Karachi, "Duniya So Rahi thi pr Karachi Jag Raha Tha (the world sleeps but Karachi stays awake)." I also came across another line, "Karachi may Sooraj Raat k 12 bjay niklta hai (The sun rises after midnight in Karachi)."
Almost all cities in Pakistan have closed shops, malls and even restaurants at midnight. However, in Karachi, everything is open late at night, and people enjoy it very much.
Finally, the reason Karachi is an important city is because of its sea. To name a few, it has Clifton Beach, French Beach and Gadani. These beaches would pass international standards of high beaches.

RTC Based Pump Switcher
We usually come across areas where we need to switch devices on/off at particular time intervals. We simulate this system using a water pump that is controlled through RTC input. The RTC (Real time clock) is used to switch the motor on and off at desired time intervals. An RTC outputs real time signals which need to be converted into digital signals for further processing. The RTC provides these inputs to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then checks for time. It then switches on off motor when the RTC time matches pre defined time.

resource market and the producer market
1. Distinguish between the resource market and the producer market in a circular flow model. In what way are businesses and households both sellers and buyers in this model? What are the flows in the circular flow model?
1. The famous Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck remarked in his book on rent controls, "Rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city - except for bombing." Rent controls place price ceilings on rents at levels below equilibrium rental rates for the stated purpose of making housing more affordable for low-income families. Using supply and demand analysis, answer the following questions:
a. How does imposing rent controls affect the number of housing units available to low-income families?
b. Under rent controls, can all low-income families get rent-controlled housing?
c. Who gains from rent controls? Who loses?
d. Why would Professor Lindbeck think rent controls are destructive?
e. Is there an alternative policy to make plenty of housing available to low-income families that would not be subject to the problems of rent controls? Explain in detail.
Solution Summary
This posting clearly contrasts the resource and producer markets.

Accidental Logics
Carolyn Hughes Tuohy
What drives change in health care systems? Why do certain changes occur in some nations and not in others? Author Carolyn Hughes Tuohy argues that the answer lies in understanding the "accidents" of history that have shaped national systems at critical moments, and in the distinctive "logics" of these systems. Tuohy looks at the experiences of Britain, Canada, and the US, offering an international comparative study of public policy systems, as well as a recent history of the circumstances in each country that have impacted on the structures of each's national health care system. The guiding focus of the book is Tuohy's study of decision making systems in each country, looking at the decisions made by those who provide, finance, and use health care services. Finally, Tuohy reviews current issues in the health care arenas of these three nations and provides suggestions to guide the strategic judgments that decision-makers must make.

P543: Teaching physical chemistry with Team-Based Learning
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an instructional method that was first developed to teach in business, law, and medical schools, and is now being used in undergraduate education. TBL is a type of flipped class, but has several distinctive elements. Students are assigned to relatively large permanent teams. Each unit of instruction begins with a class devoted to ensuring that students have prepared; they take both an individual and a team readiness assurance test. Most class meetings consist of team application exercises, in which all teams are presented with the same question. The teams work to choose a specific answer to the question, and all teams report their answers simultaneously. Ideally, the application exercises are relevant to the students, and difficult enough that a single student cannot do them. At our institution, physical chemistry had been taught exclusively using a traditional lecture format and is divided into three 10-week courses. In 2012 and 2013, the first course (chemical thermodynamics) and the second course (chemical kinetics) in this sequence were taught using TBL. The focus of this talk will be the on in-class application exercises, but other aspects of a successful TBL implementation will be discussed.

Molecular detection of algal prey in copepod guts and fecal pellets
Limnol. Oceanogr. Methods 1:29-38 (2003) | DOI: 10.4319/lom.2003.1.29
ABSTRACT: The ability to obtain information about feeding selectivity and rates in situ for key organisms such as copepods and other zooplankton is vital for understanding the mechanisms structuring marine ecosystems. Copepods feed on a wide range of prey, and there are presently no methods available to directly quantify zooplankton feeding on all different prey types in situ. Therefore, the development of a new nonintrusive direct method is necessary to gain a better understanding of the trophic interactions in aquatic ecosystems. Molecular methods based on the polymerase chain reaction have recently become an important tool to study predation by arthropods, particularly insects. Here we present the first results of successful molecular detection of a specific prey consumed by calanoid copepods from gut and fecal material. Using the calanoid copepod species Calanus finmarchicus consuming the haptophyte alga Emiliania huxleyi as a model system, 18S ribosomal DNA originating from E. huxleyi was unambiguously detected in whole DNA extracts from copepods and from their fecal pellets. The results also suggest that prey DNA may be quantified for determination of prey-specific zooplankton feeding rates. However, significantly more research under controlled laboratory and field conditions will be required to achieve these objectives. We hypothesize that molecular methods will become an important tool with the potential to quantify undisturbed trophic interactions between individual predators and all their prey in the complex natural plankton.

PEIRCE-HARALSON-RUMBLE FAMILY PAPERS
Abigail L. Dixon
CONTENTS OF INVENTORY
Named after her paternal grandmother Frances Temple Cordis (_PHONE_), Frances Temple Peirce was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1826. Her father, Constantius Peirce (1801-ca. 1839), was a descendant of a locally prominent Bostonian family. Her mother, Mary Steer (_PHONE_) was a resident of East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, and was related by the marriage of her aunt, Katherine Lintot (_PHONE_), to the Minors, who owned plantations in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Frances Temple Peirce was one of six children born to the Peirces. Her siblings included Laura, Hamilton McRee (_PHONE_), Granville M. (b. 1827), Mary Steer (b. 1830), and Sarah Rowell (b. 1832).
Upon her mother's death, Frances Temple Peirce and her sisters were sent to live with Dr. Denny and his family. The Dennys were probably relatives of Frances' mother. They lived in Natchez, Mississippi, and it was here that Frances received her education.
In 1856, Frances Temple Peirce married Bertrand Haralson, Sr. (1823-ca. 1875) in East Baton Rouge Parish. Bertrand, son of Archibald Haralson (_PHONE_) and Therese Lodoiska Augustine Pont-Brieullet, was born to a well known political family in West Feliciana Parish. Following in his father's footsteps, Bertrand became a lawyer/politician and served as parish recorder (_PHONE_). While living in Baton Rouge, he worked as register for the State Land Office until at least 1859. Bertrand and Frances Haralson had five children: Archy (who died as a child), Frances (b. 1857), Zuleika (b. 1858), Bertrand, Jr. (_PHONE_), and Mary (b. 1864). Documents in the collection indicate that as of 1869, the family had relocated to West Feliciana Parish where Bertrand Haralson, Sr. later served as parish judge (_PHONE_). He died in 1875.
In 1888, Mary Haralson, Bertrand and Frances' youngest daughter, married Wilson Rumble (b. 1866) in Bayou Sara, Louisiana. Wilson Rumble was a grocer and cotton factor in business with Theodore Wensel. The couple settled in Natchez, Mississippi.
The next year, Bertrand Haralson, Jr. married Jennie Percy Wicher (b. 1864). Bertrand and Jennie lived in St. Francisville and had seven children: Wilson Rumble (b. 1888), Frances Bertrand (b. 1892), Mary Collins (b. 1894), Maud Mary (b. 1895), Percy Whicher (_PHONE_), Rosa Dashielle (_PHONE_), and Thomas Butler (1903). Although listed as a farmer in West Feliciana Parish in the 1900 census, Bertrand Haralson, Jr. also became a politician like his father. In 1892, he was appointed West Feliciana Parish assessor, and in 1901, he acted as the chairman of the Parish Democratic Executive Committee. He also served as an elected assessor (_PHONE_, _PHONE_). He held this title until his death in 1920 whereupon he was succeeded by his son Frances Bertrand Haralson.
Frances Temple Peirce Haralson lived in St. Francisville with her son, Bertrand Jr., and his family from 1888-ca. 1891. She then went to Natchez, Mississippi and stayed with her son-in-law and daughter, Wilson and Mary Rumble, until at least 1901.
Correspondence, legal papers, miscellaneous items, and genealogical materials covering the period _PHONE_ document the lives of members of the Peirce, Haralson, and Rumble families. The largest series of the collection consists of correspondence, primarily letters written to and from Frances Temple Peirce Haralson throughout her life, discussing news of family and friends in Natchez, Mississippi and West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Love letters between Wilson Rumble and Mary Haralson pertain to their pending marriage and expectations. Information is also included concerning Wilson's business, as well as social activities and economic conditions in Natchez. Legal papers relate chiefly to Bertrand Haralson, Sr. while a resident of Baton Rouge and West Feliciana Parish. The miscellaneous series includes items collected by or about members of the Peirce/Haralson families. Genealogical materials document the histories of the Blake, Cary, Curwen, Gardner, Lintot, Nolan, Pickering, and Wallop families. Also included in this series are printed items used to compile genealogical information.

I. Correspondence, _PHONE_, n.d. (45 items)
Correspondence of the Peirce, Haralson, and Rumble families relate to their lives in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana and Natchez, Mississippi. A few early letters (_PHONE_) written by Samuel Steer, Frances Temple Peirce's uncle, are addressed to his maternal aunt, Katherine Lintot Minor of Concord Plantation near Natchez. They discuss family news and pending visits and voyages to relatives. Another early letter (1835) from Herndon Haralson to his son Jonathan, Archibald Haralson's brother, also gives news of the family, particularly concerning the lives of Jonathan's siblings. Also included are an undated letter and note, one of which is written in French, from Bertrand Haralson to his grandmother.
Early correspondence (_PHONE_) relating to Frances Temple Peirce Haralson consists mainly of letters from various family members including Constantius Peirce and Rebecca Minor. These letters document Frances' stay in Natchez following her mother's death and her engagement and marriage to Bertrand Haralson, Sr. Letters also offer gossipy accounts of social events and news of family members residing in Natchez, Mississippi. Topics discussed include family marriages, sickness, and domestic life.
Correspondence between Mary Haralson and Wilson Rumble, ranging in date from _PHONE_, primarily document their courtship, including a pre-marital quarrel. In addition to the couple's pending marriage and wedding gifts, letters also offer information concerning social life, their impressions of and interactions with African-Americans, and an 1888 fire in Natchez.
Later correspondence (_PHONE_) is comprised mostly of letters written by Frances Temple Peirce Haralson to her children. The topics discussed in the letters revolve predominantly around family news; particularly noteworthy is a letter of solace to Bertrand Jr. and Jennie Haralson concerning the death of their son, Percy, in 1895. In an undated letter to her daughter, Mary, Frances recounts a St. Francisville town fight that broke out between two local families and eventually resulted in bloodshed.
II. Legal papers, 1809, _PHONE_ (7 items)
Legal papers pertain mostly to Bertrand Haralson, Sr. and consist of certificates, letters, statements of sale, and official notices. Items relate to lands granted, sold, and confiscated. Other documents issued by the State of Louisiana document Bertrand Haralson Sr.'s professional certification and military appointment.
III. Miscellaneous items, 1820, 1860, 1880, n.d. (5 items)
Miscellaneous items consist mostly of printed materials pertaining to the Peirce family and include a death notice (1860), newspaper clipping, and biography (1880). Also included is a photograph of Frances Temple Peirce's paternal aunts (1820).
IV. Genealogical materials, ca. _PHONE_ (14 items)
Genealogical materials include typed notes and excerpts
copied from various sources such as genealogical dictionaries, family bibles, obituaries,
and marriage certificates. Materials document family lineage and include
narratives for the Blake, Cary, Curwen, Gardner, Lintot, Nolan, Pickering, and
Wallop families. Some, if not all, of
the items have been copied and annotated by Agnes Carpenter. Also included in
this series is a catalogue of genealogies from Goodspeed's Book Shop and a

- When they talked about their children,
these mothers gave lots of explanations for difficult behaviours such as
sleep disturbance, temper tantrums and destructive behaviour.
- However, depressed mothers offered more
reasons that suggested the child was responsible or to blame for the problems,
whereas non-depressed women tended either to blame outside factors or to
treat the problems as normal behaviour.
- Negative attitude
- Dr White said: "Some people argue
that depression alters perception, that depressed people see everything
in a much more negative way.
- "The depressed mothers in our study
tended to see problem behaviour as something that was either innate within
the child, or something that the child was doing on purpose specifically
to get at them.
- "For instance, if a child wet the
bed a non-depressed mother would say he has not been well for the last
couple of days, whereas a depressed mother would say he did it because
he is lazy.
- "Laziness is an innate physical
characteristic that is unlikely to change."
- Dr White said helping parents to understand
the links between their mood and parenting behaviour would be an important
initial step in enabling them to cope better with their children's difficult
- She said problem behaviour could often
result directly from bad parenting skills, in turn a result of a negative
attitude towards life in general.
- The study is published in the British
Journal of Clinical Psychology.

The University of New Orleans (UNO) was one of the first universities to receive a Disaster Resistant University (DRU) grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Within a year of starting the DRU planning initiative at UNO, Hurricane Katrina struck the area on August 29th, 2005. This catastrophe provided a meaningful (albeit unwelcome) opportunity to evaluate the plan, learn, and redesign as needed post-Katrina.
The presentation will provide a brief history of the development of UNO's DRU planning process pre-Katrina. This will be followed by a brief description of the impact of the hurricane on the UNO community…its physical plant, its operation, its students and its faculty. Certainly, the long-term recovery process of the university presented many challenges, and the author will briefly cover how and why various courses of action were developed. We'll give a candid assessment of what worked, what didn't, what we could have done better, why some measures were effective, and what we should have done differently.
The presentation will conclude with a brief description of UNO's move to a continuous process improvement (CPI) paradigm; why it's important to the DRU process and to emergency management in general.

Chicken Problems in Poultry and their Solutions
21 / 100
There are several management problems that are commonly encountered in chicken production.
Some of the common problems with keeping chickens are:
 - Heat stress
 - Cannibalism
 - Egg eating
 - Egg defects
 - Sudden Noise
 - Cage fatigue
 - Rodents
Heat Stress in Poultry
Heat stress is a serious problem in poultry, especially if the house is not constructed properly or the birds are overcrowded in their house.
Heat stress can pose a serious problem for birds if not prevented or controlled early.
The effect could be in the form of reduced feed intake, reduced egg production, egg weight, shell thickness, growth rate, habitability, and fertility.
Management of heat stress in poultry is not technical at all
Heat stress can be prevented or managed in the following ways.
 - Providing an adequate supply of clean, cool water at all times can help to reduce heat stress in poultry.
 - Similarly, you should provide more drinkers during the summer since birds lose water from their bodies more than in the winter due to sunlight.
 - Ensure there's adequate ventilation in the poultry house so they can get fresh air all the time.
 - You can also reduce heat stress by sprinkling water on the roof of the house, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
 - For layers heat management, you should feed them at night when the temperature is very low.
 - If you have a large poultry farm, you can plant canopy trees around your poultry pens, this also helps the heat issue.
Cannibalism in Poultry
Birds pecking one another in poultry can gradually result in cannibalism.
It's always funny that once it starts, it could be disastrous.
Therefore, vent pecking in poultry is nothing to joke with, else, a great loss is beckoning.
Related POST : Swine Management Tips to improve Yield
Birds are regularly seen pecking each other's feathers without any issue.
However, sometimes, this pecking may turn into pulling out and eating feathers, and finally, it leads to cannibalism.
Why do chickens now peck each other to death?
The following are some causes of cannibalism among birds.
 - The poultry house is Poorly ventilated
 - There's a too-low salt level in their feed
 - The poultry environment is extremely humid or warm
 - Overcrowding
 - Inadequate numbers of feeders, drinkers, and laying nests in the poultry house
 - Too much lightning in the poultry house
 - Stress among the birds
 - Prolapsed oviduct in any other flock mate.
 - Having some birds of different age or size, and multiple colors different from others
 - Lack of laying nest or insufficient nesting space
 - High temperatures
 - Over nervousness injury
Treatment of Cannibalism in Poultry
There are a few and simple ways you can control cannibalism in poultry
When cannibalism is noticed, the following measures can be used to curb it.
 - Prompt removal of pecked bird, once the birds noticed blood, vent pecking increases.
 - Lighting should be dim to reduce their activities and activeness.
 - Wounds on any of the birds should be painted with GV (gentian violet) or coal tar to discourage pecking
Other strategic ways you can control cannibalism is to keep the birds busy by providing any of the following
 1. Make available green leafy vegetables for your birds
 2. Allow the birds out of their cage for a few minutes, this can help with stress, which is a trigger of cannibalism.
 3. Change the birds' feed
 4. Some poultry farmers also give a teaspoon of Apple cider vinegar in one liter of water and give it to their birds once a week.

Egg Eating Habit in Poultry
Egg eating is also a common problem in the poultry business.
Actually, it is not bad for chickens to peck their eggs or that of other birds.
However, it is bad for a chicken to eat her eggs or eggs of other hens.
It's not bad from the perspective of animal nature, but for farmer's profitability, it is highly discouraged.
The reason chickens eat eggs has been found to be a deficiency in calcium or their instinct to make good use of the beak.
There are other triggers of the egg-eating habit in poultry.
The following can lead to the development of egg-eating behavior.
 - Nutritional deficiencies, especially calcium
 - Inadequate nesting facilities for layer chickens
 - The eggs are not picked promptly
 - Accidental breakage of eggs
Egg eating is a habit that is usually started by one or two birds in the pen.
This habit can be imitated by more birds in the flock.
Within a short period, it becomes a serious problem in the flock.
It is thereby important to consider the above-mentioned causes of egg-eating habits so it can be prevented or controlled properly.
And any hen that is identified as a habitual egg eater should be culled immediately.
Egg Defects in Poultry
There are many defects that can be seen on eggs.
These include abnormal egg size, soft-shelled eggs, and a high percentage of eggs with cracks.
An excessive number of cracked eggs may be a result of calcium, vitamins A and D deficiency.
Poor management such as insufficient litter material on the hardy floor, poorly designed nests such as a steep floor that can lead to rapid rolling eggs, inadequate nesting facilities, and infrequent egg collection can also lead to a high incidence of egg cracks.

Sudden Noise in Poultry
Chickens are sensitive to sound and light. Chicken can start making croaking noises when they notice strange things in their environment.
Chicken can begin to squawk loudly when they become hysterical.
If they are in a cage, they will all attempt to escape from the cage or the pens.
Chicken crying or loud sound means they're afraid.
You should check them immediately once you hear them making a weird noise.
It may be possible they notice predators like snakes or other animals like rodents.
The fear can lead to a loss. The birds may start huddling together out of fright, leading to possible suffocation and death.
Therefore, avoid sudden noise or any form of disturbances such as blasting car horns, alarm, or gunshots.
Poultry Cage fatigue
Poultry cage fatigue is common mostly in layer chickens.
This defect is usually characterized by stress associated with housing birds in cages.
It manifests through the inability of the bird to reach water and feed, leading to starvation.
If this is prolonged and unnoticed, it may lead to their death.
Birds affected should be transferred to deep litter pens and an anti-stress therapy may be prescribed by the veterinarian.
Rodents and Birds
Rats cause economic losses to poultry businesses.
They can be controlled through the use of traps and appropriate poisons.
Wild birds should also be prevented from entering poultry houses.
Chicken Loses
Some chickens will die during the laying period.
Efforts should be made to reduce the incidence of mortality among the flock.


Academic Alliance grant for development of Mohs surgery AI tool
The Academic Alliance between Maastricht MUMC+ and Radboudumc supports strong collaboration in various areas of patient care, education, and research. The Academic Alliance Fund is designed to stimulate innovation and science within the academic alliance of the two centers.
During the awarded project, Geert Litjens, Daan Geijs, Avital Amir (CPG and Radboudumc), Lisa Hillen, Veronique Winnepenninckx and Nicole Kelleners (MUMC+) aim to improve Mohs surgery with artificial intelligence (AI). Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and microscopically examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. In the proposed project, a basal cell carcinoma detection algorithm will be adapted to assist the dermatologist with determining if surgical edges are free of cancer. The algorithm will be made available through an app, and a customized smartphone holder will enable users to assess the microscopic images through the camera of their phone. The technique will be validated during a prospective clinical trial in Radboudumc and MUMC+, which will be extended to other peripheral centers.

Why We See What We Do
R. Beau Lotto, Dale Purves, Surajit Nundy
Complex Stimuli
If this general explanation is correct, then the same perceptual effect should be elicited by any stimulus in which target territories of the same luminance have typically turned out to be differently reflective objects in different amounts of light. A particularly interesting challenge is the percept generated by a more complex stimulus called the Cornsweet edge, which is named after Tom Cornsweet, the psychologist who described this effect in the late 1960s.
Figure 4. Cornsweet effect makes identical regions look differently bright...Click to Enlarge Image
In the Cornsweet effect, opposing luminance gradients that meet at an edge make physically identical adjoining regions look differently bright. Specifically, the region adjacent to the lighter gradient appears brighter than the region next to the darker gradient. Because this perceptual effect is the ooposite of the effect of standard simultaneous brightness contrast, the Cornsweet stimulus provides yet another example of why explanations based on local contrast relations do not work.
Figure 5. Various scenarios can create a Cornsweet-edge stimulus...Click to Enlarge Image
Despite its seemingly complicated structure, the Cornsweet-edge effect can also be explained in empirical terms. The common denominator of the Cornsweet stimulus and conventional simultaneous-brightness-contrast stimuli is that the percepts can both be understood in terms of the possible sources of the physically identical target territories. Thus, the equiluminant regions bordering the gradients that comprise a Cornsweet edge could have been generated by similarly reflective surfaces under the same illuminant—including painted gradients on the surface of a piece of paper on which light falls uniformly—or differently reflective surfaces under different intensities of illumination—including a cube with rounded edges placed so that one side is in light and another in shadow. Since both scenarios, and a host of others, are real possibilities, the percept elicited by the stimulus will, according to a wholly probabilistic theory of vision, take all the possible sources into account in proportion to their occurrence in the past. Given that the stimulus will often have been generated by differently reflective surfaces in different illumination, such as the cube scenario, the target territories will look differently bright.
If this statistical explanation based on past experience has merit, then the perceptual effect of the Cornsweet edge should be increased, decreased or even abolished simply by altering the relative probabilities of the possible sources of the stimulus without changing the stimulus as such. As various experiments show, this is the case.

3D Laser Scanning (3DLS) Overview
ARGO NAVIS MARINE CONSULTING & ENGINEERING LTD. can offer 3D laser scanning services which may be very helpful for the retrofitting of equipment like Ballast Water Treatment Systems, for modification works and for installation of energy efficient equipment on vessel's hull.3D laser scanning is an advantageous tool which:
- Provides an accurate and efficient solution for fitting BWTS on board.
- Provides 3D representation of the "as built" arrangement on board, through the point cloud, which is the processed scan result.
- Is a fast process which does not disturb vessel's normal operation.
- Eliminates the risks associated with manual measurement.
- With the use of scan results, production drawings and materials lists can be developed followed by retrofit specification and eventual prefabrication.
- Different options can be compared in case the owner has shortlisted more than one candidate BWT system.
- It is possible to see how the system will fit before any further actions taken.
For the retrofitting of energy efficient equipment which improves vessel's performance, it is possible that hull surfaces are created in various formats and consequently lines plan drawing from the generated point cloud after scanning of ship's hull, absolutely necessary for the design of tailor-made fittings.

In 1997, Perth Zoo acquired six pink-eared turtles (Emydura victoriae) from the wild for display in the reptile facility. There is very little documented information on pink-eared turtles in captivity. This article looks at the reproductive biology, ecology, behavior, diet, and captive husbandry of the species. Eight clutches of eggs were documented over a 2-year period with an average clutch size of 10 eggs. Egg size was recorded with three clutches incubated to hatching. Ten hatchlings were maintained for a growth and development study. Measurements of weight, carapace length, width, height, and plastron length were recorded weekly for about 12 months, and then monthly for approximately 2 years. The data were analyzed and showed positive growth curves in all animals. Sexual dimorphism was observed after 20 weeks and sexual maturity in males observed after 2 years.

work is focused on the analysis of the wall thickness control data, their interpretation and estimation of the discrepancy with the forecast results depending on the operating period.
The aim of the study is to reduce the conservatism of the ECW forecast based on estimates of the informativeness of repeated measurements. As part of this study, calculations were made for components of feedwater pipelines and steam pipelines of NPPs with the RBMK-1000 reactors and NPPs with the VVER-440 reactors.
Influence of deposits on control data interpretation
When analyzing the repeated control data, it is possible to reveal the influence of corrosion products deposited on the pipeline inner surface on the estimates of the ECW characteristics. The deposits of corrosion products lead to the fact that repeated measurements can show an increased or decreased wall thinning at a certain point, which contradicts the physical meaning of wear. However, the control data look exactly like this. Figures 1, 2 show the minimum and maximum wall thicknesses of the feedwater pipeline bend for NPPs with VVER-440 of a body size of 273×16 mm in 1996 and 2002 (Baranenko et al. 2014).

It can be seen that, at practically the same average thickness, there was a significant migration of the deposited corrosion products. Estimating the ECW rate according to the usual formula (1) will lead to the fact that over time the estimated residual life will increase. To obtain adequate estimates of the ECW characteristics, it is necessary to use forecast models or refine the estimates using the methods for processing repeated measurements (NSAC-202L-R4 2013).
To make calculations using the forecast model (3), it is required to know the chromium content in the metal. Since this indicator is not known a priori, it was taken as a variable to adapt the model to the control data.
To ensure the conservatism and additional reliability, when calculating according to the EKI-02 software tool, we take three thinning values that are slightly higher than the actual value obtained in 2011, namely, 2.5 mm. Thus, the chromium values 0.0752, 0.0741 and 0.073% correspond to the thinning values 2.5248, 2.5545 and 2.585 mm, which are close to the control values (Tab. 1). Here, the initial data for the calculation are temperature Т = 170 °C, steam humidity 0.2%, рН = 7, oxygen concentration О2 15 μg/kg, inner diameter D = 378 mm; amine – ammonia; Keller's coefficient Ке = 0,04; and contents of both Мо and Cu = 0.03%.
The obtained values of the chromium content are used as parameters to forecast the ECW process for 2013 and 2014. The result of comparing the forecast and control data is shown in Fig. 3. As can be seen, the forecast results differ from the actual thinning values as the duration of operation increases, even in such a short time interval. It must be said that in this case there were already considerable deposits of corrosion products on the pipeline inner surface, since most of the measurements exceed the nominal value. However, the discrepancy in the results up to 60% should be considered significant. To make more sound conclusions, more repeated measurements are needed.

Predictive estimates obtained using EKI-02 at close values of the Cr concentration in the metal: 1 – measurements; 2 – Cr = 0.0752; 3 – Cr = 0.0741; 4 – Cr = 0.073.

Analysis of control data at NPP with VVER-440
According to the operational control data (Guidance document RD 27.28.05._PHONE_ 2010) given in the conclusions about NPPs with VVER-440, the rates of corrosion and thinning of the pipeline walls with single-phase and two-phase media were calculated in different operating periods. The values of the operating time τoper, the minimum measured wall thickness Smin, the thinning ΔSthin and the ECW rate WECW are given in Tab. 2 for the feedwater pipeline and steam pipeline. The wall thickness measurements were carried out from 1984 to 2008.
A decreased thinning at a certain point in time is associated with the deposited corrosion products, due to which the monotony of the wear process is visually disturbed. To adequately predict the ECW process, it is necessary to either modify (upgrade) the model or take to data filtering.
To adapt the EKI-02 and EKI-03 software tools, the chromium concentration in the pipeline metal and the Keller coefficient reflecting the component geometry, including, possibly, the condition of the inner surface, were selected as the most significant but unknown parameters. Since the chromium content in the pipeline metal is not known a priori, this indicator was taken as a variable. The adaptation of these tools is carried out by forecasting the thinning on the components under consideration and comparing the results obtained with the actual values. The chromium concentration is selected with the smallest discrepancy between the calculated and measured thinning for the feedwater pipeline section for 1984 and the steam pipeline section for 1985, respectively.
The ECW rate and thinning take the maximum values at a chromium content of 0.037%, and decrease at its higher values. Further, the chromium content equal to 0.037% is used, since the thinning according to the control data is significant.
The results of the thinning forecast at a chromium content of 0.037% for the feedwater pipeline section in the range from 3 to 28 years and the steam pipeline section in the range from 4 to 25 years are shown in Fig. 4.
It can be seen from the graphs that the forecast results do not agree well with the control data. One of the reasons for this may be the Keller coefficient, which, during long-term operation, may turn out to be time-dependent.
Tables 3, 4 show various combinations of the Keller coefficient and the chromium content, at which the forecast for the first measurement coincides as closely as possible with the measurements for the feedwater pipeline and steam pipeline, respectively.
Despite the variety of combinations of the Keller coefficient and Cr content, general trends in the development of the ECW process can be observed. The graph in Figure 5 shows the relationship between the control indicators and forecast results for the steam pipeline.

Position Slow mode is a velocity and yaw rate limited version of the regular Position mode.
The mode works in exactly the same way as Position mode but with the controller stick deflection re-scaled to lower maximum velocities (and proportionally lower acceleration). You can use it to quickly slow down the vehicle to a safe speed (if it is moving faster than the maximum velocity in the limited axis). You can also use it to get more precision from stick input, in particular when flying close to obstacles, or to comply with regulations such as EASA's low-speed mode/function.
The velocity limits can be set using parameters, from an RC Controller rotary knob, slider, or switch, or using MAVLink. Limits set using an RC controller override those set by MAVLink, which in turn override those set using parameters. The limits can only be reduced below those for normal Position mode.
Set Limits using Parameters
The maximum values for slow mode horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, and yaw rate can be set using parameters. This approach is useful when the maximum desired speed in slow mode is fixed, and you just want to be able to quickly drop to a safer speed range (perhaps using a switch on your controller).
The table below shows the parameters used to set the maximum values for Position slow mode and Position mode, respectively, along with their default values.
AxisPosition slow modePosition mode
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_HVEL (3 m/s)MPC_VEL_MANUAL (10 m/s)
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_DEF_VVEL (1 m/s)MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_UP (3 m/s) / MPC_Z_VEL_MAX_DN (1.5 m/s)
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_DEF_YAWR (45 °/s)MPC_MAN_Y_MAX (150 °/s)
From this you can see, for example, that when switching from Position mode to Position slow mode, the default maximum upward horizontal velocity is reduced from 10 m/s to 3 m/s. If traveling faster than 3 m/s horizontally you'd be slowed to 3 m/s.
Note that the parameters are used only if limits are not provided by from RC or MAVLink.
Set Limits using RC Control
You can map a rotary knob, slider, or switch, on a RC Controller to set the maximum velocity of an axis (horizontal/vertical/yaw). This approach is useful when the appropriate slow-mode maximum values can vary while flying.
If the input control is set to its highest value the vehicle will go as fast as in Position mode. If the input is set to its lowest value, the vehicle maximum velocity is set to the value in the corresponding MC_SLOW_MIN_ parameter (shown in the table below). If an RC control input is mapped for an axis it has priority over all other inputs.
The table below lists each axis along with the parameter used to select which RC AUX channel corresponds to the control knob, and the parameter that sets the lowest possible "maximum value" for the axis.
AxisParameter to map auxiliary inputParameter for minimum value of maximum velocity
Horizontal velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_HVELMC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL
Vertical velocityMC_SLOW_MAP_VVELMC_SLOW_MIN_VVEL
Yaw rateMC_SLOW_MAP_YAWRMC_SLOW_MIN_YAWR
To use this approach:
 1. Make sure you have a remote with an extra input and an extra RC channel to transmit it's position.
 2. Map the channel which contains the knobs position as one of the 6 auxiliary passthrough inputs by setting RC_MAP_AUXn to the corresponding RC channel number.
 3. Map that auxiliary input using the appropriate MC_SLOW_MAP_ parameter for the axis you want it to control (see table above).
For example, if you want to map RC channel 8 to limit the horizontal velocity you could set RC_MAP_AUX1 to the value 8 and MC_SLOW_MAP_HVEL to the value 1. The RC input from channel 8 then sets a horizontal velocity limit between MC_SLOW_MIN_HVEL and MPC_VEL_MANUAL.
You can adjust the velocity limits using the MAVLink message SET_VELOCITY_LIMITS. This approach is used primarily by automatic systems, for example to slow a vehicle when zooming a camera.
The message can set the maximum value on any of the axes by supplying a non-NAN limit value. This overrides limit values set in parameters, but is ignored if the axis is mapped to an RC knob. The value can be updated from a message at any time, and is latched until either the next message or a mode switch.
Note that PX4 does not provide velocity limit telemetry (i.e. it does not support streaming the VELOCITY_LIMITS message).

Dynamic Number of Rows in Repeating Group
I am trying to create a page where the user can select a number (1-10) from a drop down. Depending on the number they select, I want to show that many sections/rows in a repeating group (or something similar). So for example, if the user selects "2", the RG should only show 2 rows. I know I could probably do this by storing the "number of rows" in the database, but I was hoping to do this with states. Any advice on if this can be done or how to go about something like this?
In your rg data source, use :items until state#.

Custom state on the page of type number. Let's call it rowsnumber.
The dropdown can have … say … 10 static numbers. Use the event "when inputs value changes" (this dropdown would be the input) set its value to the rownsnumber page custom state.
In the rg set 10 conditions when the page custom state rowsnumber is 1 … to 10 … to have the data source be of search things :items until # … and set that number to be the dropdown value.
That should do the trick :grinning:

The hybrid striped bass, or "wiper," is an artificial cross between a striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and a white bass (Morone chrysops). Hybridization of these two species does not occur naturally. Therefore, hybrid striped bass must be cultured in a fish hatchery situation. Like its parents, the hybrid frequents the open water portions of a lake, feeding almost exclusively on gizzard shad or other pelagic fishes. Hybrids are more tolerant of warmer water and lower dissolved oxygen than striped bass. For these reasons, they can be stocked into a wider variety of waters than striped bass. Indiana's hybrid striped bass stocking program began in an effort to help utilized overabundant shad populations and to create additional fishing opportunities in many of the state's reservoirs.
The hybrid striped bass appearance is a mixture of white bass and striped bass characteristics. Hybrid have a steamlined body with a bluish-black back, silver sides and a white belly. The horizontal lines are usually broken, often forming a "W" pattern above the lateral line. Like striped bass, hybrids have two parallel tooth patches on the center of their tongue. White bass have just one. Hybrids usually weigh 5 to 10 pounds but can be as large as 20 pounds.
Indiana's hybrid striped bass stocking program began in 1983. Since then, hybrids have been stocked into nine impoundments throughout the state. Successful populations were established at six of those lakes totaling 19,548 acres. These include Lake Freeman, Lake Shafer, and Mississenewa Reservoir in northern Indiana, Eagle Creek Reservoir and Cagle's Mill Reservoir in central Indiana, and Monroe Reservoir in Southern Indiana. In addition, hybrid striped bass populations have been established in the Tippecanoe River with fish emigrating from Freeman and Shafer lakes. Hybrid have also been reported in the White, Wabash and Ohio rivers and several of their tributaries.
Hybrid striped bass, like many hybrids, experience great difficulty reproducing naturally. Eggs and sperm produced by hybrids are usually weak or improperly formed. The same is true of any fry that might be produced by chance fertilization. For this reason, hybrids are considered "functionally sterile," and their populations are totally dependant on repeated stockings. Fish hatcheries in Texas have supplied a majority of Indiana's hybrid striped bass since the stocking program began in 1983. East Fork State Fish Hatchery, located near Washington, Indiana, began producing hybrids from striped bass and white bass collected from in-state fish in 1986. East Fork now provides most of the hybrids used in Indiana.
Hybrids may be found in a variety of habitats. In some lakes they may prefer fairly flat, shallow, sandy areas. In other lakes, typically the larger reservoirs, they may prefer the more rocky habitats located directly above or below the dams. Best fishing for hybrid striped bass occurs just after sundown or in the early morning just before sunrise. They are caught primarily on artificial baits which resemble gizzard shad. Imitation shad that rattle have proven to be successful at many lakes. In addition, many anglers have been successful using live bait such as night crawlers or soft craws.
Hybrid striped bass have been included with white bass under a combined daily catch limit of 12 fish, single or in aggregate. No more than two of these fish may exceed 17 inches in length. The reason for the combined bag limit is that white bass, when small, are very prolific fish which seldom exceed 17 inches in length and are found in a number of Indiana reservoirs. A small catch limit would unnecessarily restrict harvest of these fish and be unfair to white bass anglers. However, fish larger than 17 inches are probably hybrid striped bass, so harvest of this size fish is limited to two per day. Biologists feel that the combined regulation will allow harvest of white bass and small hybrid stripers, while promoting the trophy fishing concept for larger hybrids.

Hi all, here is the wine bottle that I share with you previously. Wish to know how to create a ring surrounding the bottle? Actually is very simple, you just need to do the follwoing steps:
1. Create an angle plane that intersect with the bottle body. Here, I will refer the angle plane to the current TOP Plane. Open a sketch on the TOP plane and draw a construction line as shown in the picture.
2. Then, when using the Reference geometry > Plane funtion, select the construction line to define the plane position and also the TOP plane as the reference to measure the angle.
3. With the angle plane, now we can create the path of the ring by using the "Intersection Curve" function. Basically, intersection is a function under "Tools> Sketch Tools> Intersection Curve which enable the user to define 3D curve to represent the intersection between 2 surfaces/solidbodies/planes.
4. Now, we can prepare the plane for the sweep profile. You just need to select the 3D curve and pick a point in order to create a plane normal to the curve. Then just draw a circle on the plane as the sweep profile.


Make Teaching R Quasi-Quotation Easier
To make teaching R quasi-quotation easier it would be nice if R string-interpolation and quasi-quotation both used the same notation. They are related concepts. So some commonality of notation would actually be clarifying, and help teach the concepts. We will define both of the above terms, and demonstrate the relation between the two concepts.
String-interpolation is the name for substituting value into a string. For example:
variable <-"angle")
 'variable name is.(variable)'
## [1] "variable name is angle"
Notice the ".(variable)" portion was replaced with the actual variable name "angle". For string interpolation we are intentionally using the ".()" notation that Thomas Lumley's picked in 2003 when he introduced quasi-quotation into R (a different concept than string-interpolation, but the topic of our next section).
String interpolation is a common need, and there are many R packages that supply variations of such functionality:
A related idea is "quasi-quotation" which substitutes a value into a general expression. For example:
angle = 1:10
variable <-"angle")
 plot(x =.(variable),
 y = sin(.(variable)))
Unnamed chunk 2 1
Notice how in the above plot the actual variable name "angle" was substituted into the graphics::plot() arguments, allowing this name to appear on the axis labels.
evalb() is is a very simple function built on top of base::bquote():
print(evalb)
## function(..., where = parent.frame()) {
## force(where)
## exprq <- bquote(..., where = where)
## eval(exprq,
## envir = where,
## enclos = where)
## }
##
##
All evalb() does is: call bquote() as intended. A way to teach this is to just call bqoute() alone.
 plot(x =.(variable),
 y = sin(.(variable)))
## plot(x = angle, y = sin(angle))
And we see the un-executed code with the substitutions performed.
There are many R quasi-quotation systems including:
If you don't want to wrap your plot() call in evalb() you can instead pre-adapt the function. Below we create a new function plotb() that is intended as shorthand for eval(bquote(plot(...))).
plotb <- bquote_function(graphics::plot)
plotb(x =.(variable),
 y = sin(.(variable)))
Unnamed chunk 5 1
When string-inerpolation and quasi-quotation use the same notation we can teach them quickly as simple related concepts.

To skew an object by using the resize handles
Select an object or a group of objects or anchor points. The resize handles appear.
Position your pointer near but outside one of the side handles and use one of the following methods:
To skew horizontally, drag the top or bottom side handle of the object to the left or right.
To skew vertically, drag either the left or right side handle.
To skew the object around its center point, hold down the ALT key.
A shape (in blue) being skewed with the top handle
You can skew and create a duplicate of a selection at the same time by holding down CTRL+ALT when you drag.
To skew an object by using the Action Bar
On the left side of the Action Bar, click the registration point icon to indicate which part of the selected object you want to stay stationary during skewing. For example, if you want the upper-right corner of your object to remain in position when the rest of the object skews, click the upper-right corner of the registration point icon.
Adjust the Skew Angle. Drag the pointer up or to the right to increase the value, or drag it down or to the left to reduce the value. Click the field to type a numeric value.
To skew vertically (shear) instead of horizontally, set the Rotation Angle and Skew Angle fields to the same value.

Charger Light Turns off When Plugged In
Charger Light Turns off When Plugged In: Causes and Solutions
In today's fast-paced world, we heavily rely on our electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, to stay connected and get things done. But what happens when you plug in your device to charge, and the charger light suddenly turns off? This can be a frustrating and confusing experience, leaving you wondering what went wrong. In this article, we will explore the possible causes for this issue and provide some solutions to help you troubleshoot the problem.
1. Faulty Charger: One of the most common reasons for the charger light turning off when plugged in is a faulty charger. Over time, chargers can become damaged or worn out, resulting in a poor connection or insufficient power flow. Check for any visible signs of damage, such as frayed wires or a loose connection, and try using a different charger to see if the problem persists.
2. Overheating: Another common cause for the charger light turning off is overheating. When electronic devices or chargers overheat, they often have built-in safety mechanisms that shut down to prevent further damage. Ensure that your device and charger are in a well-ventilated area and not covered or obstructed by any objects that could restrict airflow.
3. Power Surges: Power surges can occur due to fluctuations in your electrical supply, which can cause your charger light to turn off. It is recommended to use surge protectors or power strips with built-in surge protection to shield your electronic devices and chargers from electrical spikes.
4. Incompatible Charger: Using an incompatible charger can also lead to the charger light turning off. Different electronic devices often require specific voltage and amperage levels to charge properly. Using a charger with the wrong specifications can result in insufficient power supply or even damage to your device.
1. Check the Power Outlet: Start by ensuring that the power outlet you are using is functioning correctly. Plug in another electronic device or use a voltage tester to verify if the outlet is working properly. If the outlet is faulty, contact a qualified electrician to fix the issue.
2. Change the Charger: If you suspect that the charger is causing the problem, try using a different charger that is compatible with your device. If the new charger works fine, it indicates that the original charger is faulty and needs to be replaced.
3. Clean the Charging Port: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in the charging port of your device, obstructing the connection. Use a small brush or a can of compressed air to gently clean the charging port, removing any dirt or debris that may be causing the issue.
4. Reset the Device: Sometimes, a simple reset can fix charging-related problems. Turn off your device, unplug the charger, and remove the battery (if possible). Wait for a few minutes before reinserting the battery, plugging in the charger, and turning the device back on.
Q: Why does my charger light turn off and on repeatedly?
A: This could be a sign of a loose or damaged connection. Try unplugging and reconnecting the charger firmly to see if the problem persists. If it does, consider replacing the charger.
Q: Is it safe to use a different charger with my device?
A: It is generally safe to use a different charger as long as it is compatible with your device's voltage and amperage requirements. However, it is always recommended to use the manufacturer-recommended charger for optimal performance and safety.
Q: Can a software issue cause the charger light to turn off?
A: While it is rare, software issues can sometimes interfere with the charging process. Try updating your device's software to the latest version or perform a factory reset if necessary.
Q: What should I do if none of the solutions work?
A: If you have tried all the troubleshooting steps and the charger light still turns off when plugged in, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer or seek professional help. They can diagnose and fix any underlying hardware issues that may be causing the problem.
In conclusion, a charger light turning off when plugged in can be caused by various factors, ranging from a faulty charger to overheating or power surges. following the solutions provided in this article and being mindful of the FAQs, you can effectively troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your electronic devices charge smoothly.
