The cross grid encoder is an optical diffraction grating type encoder to measure two-dimensional position of a optical head by using a grid plate where grids are aligned orthogonal to each other. The cross grid encoder can be applied to measure two-dimensional motion errors of high-precision and ultra-precision machine tools, such as the straightness error or the squareness error. As a basis to establish a methodology to measure evaluate motion accuracy of highand ultra-precision machine tools by using the cross grid encoder, this paper presents a self-calibration scheme of a measurement error of the cross grid encoder caused mainly by the misalignment of grids. The measurement error corresponding to the location on the grid plate is calibrated by comparing three measurements taken with different orientation of the grid plate. It is experimentally validated that the measurement error of the cross grid encoder is reduced by about 85% at maximum by applying the self-calibration and the compensation of measurement errors.


text: Abstract The influence of a single row plantation of Acacia nilotica on the growth and productivity of agricultural crops was assessed in the arid regions of Haryana, India with Triticum aestivum (wheat), Trifolium alexandrinum (barseem), Cicer arietinum (chickpea) and Gossypium hirsutum (cotton) being raised on the southern side of tree belt. Crop density, biomass production (of shoot and root), crop growth (in terms of shoot and root length) and yield of all the four crops increased with increasing distance from the tree canopy. A direct negative correlation (correlation coefficient value 0·9 or above in the majority of characters) between parameters studied and the distance from the tree was noticed. The maximum affect was observed in shoot biomass (reduced by 58, 42, 42, and 41% in T. aestivum, T. alexandrinum, C. arietinum and G. hirsutum, respectively) and minimum affect was on root growth. Yield reduction due to trees up to 15 m distance was 37·8, 49·0, 40·6 and 34·4% in T. aestivum, T. alexandrinum, C. arietinum and G. hirsutum, respectively. It is suggested that farmers holding small parcels of land should not grow crops in association with A. nilotica trees under arid conditions.

Grammar 101: Is It Backup or Back Up?March 15th, 2013 by Michael Kwan
The English language being what it is, words and their usage are constantly evolving. I grew up referring to what I was playing on the Nintendo as video games (two words), but it is becoming increasingly common (and accepted) to see the term written as videogames (one word). I personally don't agree with that particular change, but it is something that I have observed. Similarly, while it is standard practice to capitalize Internet, use the lower case internet is generally accepted too.
For now, and this may change in the future, the terms "backup" and "back up" are not interchangeable.
A backup (one word) is a thing. It is used as a noun. For example, I once wrote about the importance of having a backup computer. In the context of computing, you'd also talk about the backup copies that you have of your data. Outside of computing, you might come across a backup plan or a traffic backup. Police officers in trouble might radio in for backup.
To back up (two words), on the other hand, is an action. It is used as a verb. Again, the most common usage these days would be in the context of computing. You're oftentimes reminded that you should back up all your data. If you're in a parking lot, you might tell someone to back up into the parking spot. If you're confused about something that someone said, you could ask them to back up and explain it to you again.
Realistically, most people aren't going to fault you for using "backup" when you really mean to say "back up," but you could fall into chipped mug syndrome. If you're going to write anything, you may as well make the effort of being grammatically correct.
Do you have any suggestions for a future Grammar 101 topic? I'd love to hear them.

Water was released from Perunchani dam for irrigation on Friday. The rains which lashed the catchment areas of the district have raised the water level in all the four dams in the district — Pechipparai, Perunchani, Chittar I and Chittar II. Perunchani dam had an inflow of 349 cusecs on Friday, and the Public Work Department officials released 130 cusecs for irrigation.
According to PWD sources, the water level in all the tanks and ponds is also rapidly increasing due to the heavy rains in various parts of the district.
The water was released from Pechipparai dam for irrigation on June 20 in order to facilitate the farmers to carry out agriculture operation for 'kannipoove' season. The inflow of water into Pechipparai dam was 689 cusecs and the discharge was 720 cusecs.
The rainfall recorded in various areas is (in mm): Pechipparai — 1.2, Chittar I — 3.2, Chittar II — 2, Surulode — 4, Anaikidanku — 2 and Thirparappu — 3.


There is no shortage of the news on stablecoin censorship, in particular blacklisting of Ethereum addresses:
Tether has been blacklisting Ethereum addresses that hold USDT for a couple of years now—this year alone, Tether has blacklisted 24 addresses that hold a total of $5.51 million USDT in summation. [...] Tether has blacklisted a total of 39 out of the 1.47 million Tether addresses that exist, which represents a total of 0.00002% of all tether addresses. When a tether address is blacklisted, it can't send, receive, or redeem USDT.
Assuming that the said stablecoin issuers are not miners/validators, how are they able to do censor sending and receiving? Does such censorship involve also NFTs, Eth, and other erc-20 tokens? Could similar censorship be done by MakerDao?
They own the contracts.
For example, one of the Tether contracts is named BlackList. This contains a mapping:
mapping (address => bool) public isBlackListed;
...which can be updated by the owners using addBlackList().
When an address is added to the blacklist, that address can no longer use its Tether balance.
 - Does MakerDao own like contacts and could they practice similar censorship with respect to DAI? – Jerzy Brzóska Feb 11 at 10:20

weight. The two forms exhibit the same molecular weight. This explains why there were no varieties about chemistry structure of vinblastine before/after supercritical antisolvent process. Therefore, the supercritical antisolvent process has not induced chemical structure change of vinblastine.
2.3.3. X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) Analysis
To investigate further crystalline of particles, XRD analysis was performed. Figure 5 shows the XRD results for processed and unprocessed vinblastine particles. The presence of several distinct peaks in the XRD of unprocessed vinblastine at the diffraction angles of 2θ = 5.9°,13.3°,17.68°, 14.9°, 8.9°, 20.16° and 25.54° reveals the drug is present as a crystalline form. The processed vinblastine, on the other hand, presents a diffract gram with one weak peak at 25.54° of 2θ. This fact suggests that vinblastine particles after supercritical antisolvent process have less crystalline.
2.3.4. Dissolution Studies <italic>in Vitro</italic>
The dissolution profiles of the raw vinblastine particles and vinblastine microparticles in dissolution medium (6.4 g Na2HPO4·12H2O; 0.6 g KH2PO4; 5.85 g NaCl in 1000 mL deionized water; pH 7.4) are shown in Figure 6. The vinblastine microparticles showed higher dissolution rate than the vinblastine raw particle. After 120 min, the dissolution rate of vinblastine microparticles and unprocessed vinblastine were 79.20% and 6.81%, respectively. The vinblastine microparticles had solubility eleven times higher than the unprocessed vinblastine material. The remarkable increase in the dissolution rate can be attributed to amorphous nature. The high internal energy and specific volume of the amorphous state relative to the crystalline state can lead to enhanced dissolution [15,17,18].
3. Experimental Section 3.1. Materials
Vinblastine was obtained from Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang, China). Carbon dioxide with high purity of 99.99% was supplied from Liming Gas Company of Harbin (Heilongjiang, China). N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Deionized water was prepared by a Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and was used in all experiments.
3.2. Apparatus
The schematic diagram of the supercritical antisolvent apparatus is illustrated in Zhao et al. [14]. The apparatus consists of a precipitation chamber and a gas-liquid separation chamber. The CO2 is cooled with a cooler before being compressed by a liquid pump and the pressure is controlled by a back pressure regulator. Afterwards, the CO2 is pre-heated in a heat exchanger and enters into the precipitation chamber. Simultaneously, the solution is pumped, heated and fed to the precipitation chamber through a stainless steel nozzle. This nozzle is located in a distinct inlet point from the CO2, but also in the top of the precipitation chamber. A stainless steel frit vessel was put into the precipitation chamber to collect the micronized particles and to let the SC–CO2/organic solvent mixture pass through. The flow rate of the mixture that leaves the precipitator is controlled by a valve located between the precipitation chamber and the gas-liquid separation chamber. Here the mixture undergoes a decompression to induce the separation of the CO2 from the organic solvent.
3.3. Supercritical Antisolvent Micronization
A supercritical antisolvent experiment begins by delivering supercritical CO2 to the precipitation chamber until the desired pressure is reached. CO2 steady flow of 8.5 kg/h is established; then, pure NMP is sent through the liquid pump to the precipitation chamber with the aim of obtaining steady state composition conditions during the vinblastine precipitation. At this point, the flow of the pure NMP is stopped and the vinblastine/NMP liquid solution is delivered through the nozzle of 150 μm. Once injected the fixed quantity of vinblastine/NMP solution, the liquid pump is stopped. After the spraying of drug solution into the particle precipitation vessel was completed, an additional supercritical CO2 continued to flow into the vessel at same rate for further 30 min to remove residual solvent from precipitated particles and to wash the stainless steel frit vessel of 200 nm from the residual content of liquid solubilized in the supercritical antisolvent. The precipitation chamber was then depressurized gradually to atmospheric pressure. Finally, the samples of micronized vinblastine were taken from the stainless steel frit vessel for further characterization.
3.4. Optimization of Supercritical Antisolvent Process
An orthogonal design L16(4)5 was selected for optimization of operating condition of vinblastine micronization by supercritical antisolvent process. The supercritical antisolvent experiment was carried out with 4 factors and 4 levels, namely vinblastine concentration (1.25, 2.50, 3.75, 5.00 mg/mL), precipitation temperature (40, 50, 60, 70 °C), precipitation pressure (10, 15, 20, 25 MPa) and drug solution flow rate (3.3, 6.7, 10, 13.3 mL/min). The range of each facto level was based on the results of preliminary experiments. The MPS (nm) of micronized vinblastine was the dependent variable. The data was analyzed using the Design Expert 8.0 software.
3.5. Powder Characterization
The MPS of processed samples was measured with DLS (ZetaPALS; Brookhaven Instruments Corporation, Holtsville, NY, USA) particle size analyzer. Processed vinblastine was suspended in filtered pure water and treated by sonication for 3 min to avoid the aggregation of particles. The whole process operated on a clean workbench to prevent dust or other particulate transmission. The water was presaturated with vinblastine to avoid dissolution of the micronized particles. The suspensions were analyzed in the DLS particle size analyzer. Every measurement was repeated three times. The MPS and standard deviations SD obtained were used to fit the particle size distribution to a lognormal distribution.
The morphology of particles was examined by SEM. Samples were coated with gold and palladium using a vacuum evaporator and examined using a SEM at 20 kV accelerating voltage. Analysis of the residual solvents was carried out on a (Quanta 200, FEI).
The samples were diluted with KBr mixing powder at 1% and pressed to obtain self-supporting disks, separately. The FTIR spectrum was obtained by MAGNA-IR560 E.S.P-1-1 (Nicolet, Madison, WI, USA) and recorded in the wave number range of 4000–500 cm−1 at a resolution of 4 cm−1.
The samples were dissolved in methanol, separately. MS spectra were obtained by analyst 1.4 of API 3000 (AB, Foster City, CA, USA). The mass spectrometer was operated in positive mode.
Diffraction patterns were recorded on a Rigaku Powder X-ray diffraction system, X-ray diffraction patterns were collected in transmission using an X-ray diffractometer with a rotating anode (Philips, Xpert-Pro, Almelo, The Netherlands) with Cu Kα1 radiation generated at 30 mA and 50 kV. The powders were filled to the same depth inside the sample holder by leveling with spatula and scanning rate (4 °/min) was same for all XRD analysis.
100 mg sample was added to a 500 mL dissolution medium (6.4 g Na2HPO4·12H2O; 0.6 g KH2PO4; 5.85 g NaCl in 1000 mL deionized water; pH 7.4). Bath temperature and paddle speed were set at 37 ± 0.5 °C and 100 rpm. At selected periods of 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min, 2 mL aliquots were withdrawn without media replacement, filtered, and analyzed using HPLC. The HPLC system consisted of a Waters 717 automatic sample handling system series HPLC system equipped with a 1525 Bin pump, a 717 automatic column temperature control box and a 2487 UV-detector (Waters, Milford, MA, USA). Chromatographic separation was performed on a Diamonsil C18 reversed-phase column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm, Dikma Technologies). The quantification analysis method is according to Yang et al. [2]. The data was expressed as a mean value ± SD (n = 6). The percentage of cumulated dissolution was defined as the sum of the mass of dissolved vinblastine at time t, divided by the mass of added vinblastine (100 mg). The dissolution profiles were plotted as the percentage of cumulated dissolution versus incubation time.
4. Conclusions
In the present study, an orthogonal array design L16 (4)5 was used

What is Vindication?
Vindication is a pack of hyenas that run up on a lion and the lion knows that it is a lion. The lion is a lion because of it's place in the food chain. The lion's vindication is to defend itself among the hyenas by devouring them or scarring them off. The lion is also a lion because of it's pride. The vindication of that lion is knowing what makes it a lion. What makes it is what differentiates it from the other animals.
Vindication begins with clearing the mind and heart of all suspicion. Knowing what something truly is makes the one aware the vindicated one.
The purpose of my album "Vindication" was to introduce the word and action into others vocabulary and lifestyle. Vindication is important for a person's survival.
The true report is vindication is not heard or written in many newspapers or listed as a strength in a person's character on resumes. Vindication is a strength for person's awareness not a weakness.

This paper first gives an explanation of the behaviour which motivates individuals to engage in the shadow economy. It will be shown that people who fear being caught by tax authorities will be less likely to work in the shadow economy and those who earn more money in the official economy will also work less in the shadow economy. The result of a logistic regression shows that if others are seen to be engaged in the shadow economy then this increases subsequent demand for such activities. It was found that on average, a shadow economy worker earned AUS$2135.31 during the year 2000, and households spent AUS$2,293.00 for these services. Using micro-data to calculate an overall aggregate figure for the estimated size of the shadow economy in Australia during the year 2000, it was found that between 4.81% and 8.8% of the gross national income (GNI) was earned in the cash economy.

Istros was an ancient city near the mouth of the Danube River, in today's Romania. Its coins have an intriguing obverse, as they depict two juvenile heads facing in opposite directions.
The image could allude to the rising and the setting of the sun god Helios. Another possibility is that it relates to a geographical myth current in Antiquity of the two branches of the Danube River. It was known that one of the branches empties itself into the Black Sea; while the other was supposed to end in the Adriatic Sea. The Danube thus, people believed, connected the two important trade routes to the east and to the west.

Function Call Color (typescript / javascript)
#1
Hi There:
New to Atom. It seems great. Right now, however, my function calls (in Typescript, also seems to be the case in Javascript) do not have any coloring effect. They are plain black, as opposed to, say, in Sublime Text, where they are green. Seems to be the case in any theme I use–atom-default or separately installed.
For example, in the following code (in a typescript file):
ngOnInit(){
 function greatFunction(){
 }
}
the words "ngOnInit" and "greatFunction" are plain black, instead of some other distinguishing color. How can I change the color of the function calls?
By the way, I have downloaded atom-typescript, and it seems to otherwise be working fine.
Thanks!
#2
Hi there, welcome to Atom!
In Atom (and Sublime Text I believe) syntax highlighting is a two part process. For effective syntax colours, you need:
 - A grammar package (ones with the name language-something; a JavaScript one is built in)
 - A theme
The grammar package is responsible for giving each character a set of scopes. These scopes represent information about the character. For example, characters in a JS comment might have the scope comment.line.js. You can check the scope of a character by running Editor: Log Cursor Scope in the command palette.
By themselves, scopes don't do anything. However, your theme will have a bunch of rules that link colours to specific sets of scopes. For example, there may be a rule that says comments (scopes that start with comment) should be italicised grey. Likewise, there could be a rule that colours the entity.name.function scope a certain way.
In fact, the built in one-dark-syntax theme has a rule for this.
.syntax--entity {
 &.syntax--name.syntax--function {
 color: @hue-2;
 }
It's a little hard to read, but basically just ignore the syntax-- parts and see that it's giving the @hue-2 colour (defined elsewhere) to entity.name.function.
With your code, this theme makes it look like the following (regular text colour is white):
49%20am
In your case, (assuming you are using language-js) it seems the theme you are using does not have support for this scope. As I've shown, one-dark-syntax supports it quite well. If you prefer light themes, there is one-light-syntax (also a builtin). I have not tested with language-typescript, but I believe it also has scopes for the function names.
Check your current theme to see if the author intentionally limited the variety of colours (so-called 'minimalistic' themes). If not, you might want to raise an issue on their GitHub repo, and let them respond.
#3
Thank you for this excellent explanation. That clarifies a bunch for me. Unfortunately, the function calls continue to not be highlighted. I have reviewed my packages, and I have a variety of language packages, like "language-javascript" and "language-typescript". I have also switched to the "one-dark-syntax" theme.
Still, the code does not show up for me like it does in your screen shot. For me, the words "ngOnInit" and "greatFunction" continue to be in plain text color (gray in the one-dark-syntax theme). The word "function" is purple, but no action on the others.
#4
Can you post a screenshot of what you see? I think you can just drag the image into the comment box, and it will automatically upload it.
#5
Sure. Here is a snippet of the typescript file:
#6
OK, it seems TypeScript scoping is a little strange. I don't use it, so I can't really tell / explain what's happening, but you can try adding the following to your styles.less file:
atom-text-editor .syntax--meta.syntax--definition.syntax--function {
 color: /* the colour */
}
It's a little buggy for me (e.g. let x = function() {}), but work reasonably well. Change the colour to anything you like, and I believe there are some named variables that match colours in your current theme.
#7
Thanks! That worked for most of the themes I have, so definitely a step up. That has helped me a long way. Would you happen to know what the css reference is for function arguments?
(and I think I will leave it there for questions for today.)
#8
such as the word "input" in
function greatFunction(input){
}
#9
Put your cursor somewhere on input and then run the Editor: Log Cursor Scope command from the Command Palette. The last one in the list is the most specific one.
#10
Thanks. Result:
Scopes at Cursor
source.ts
variable.other.readwrite.ts
#11
With the scope reference in hand, what is the css reference I use to adjust that attribute?
#12
.variable.other.readwrite.ts {
 color: #FFFFFF;
}
#13
Thanks for all the help. At this stage, that is not working. I wonder if there is a deeper setting issue with my typescript. Several of the elements of the page (the functions, parameters, variable declarations) seem to be acting strangely in terms of theme colors. I'll probably look around a bit further. If anyone has seen things that cause typescript files to be read strangely in atom, I would appreciate if you would let me know. This is a brand new build of atom (yesterday), with updated package versions.
I have downloaded just two packages: atom-typescript and platform-ide-terminal. Downloaded a lot of themes. And otherwise have the default Core Packages, like the "languages" packages.

My bad, I got distracted and completely forgot about a quirk of how Atom's stylesheets are namespaced. For all the classes inside a TextEditor, they're prefixed with syntax--. So try this:
.syntax--variable.syntax--ts {
 color: #FFFFFF;
}
#15
Thanks. That did it.
#16
How did you figure out how to put the scope definition into css (ie less)?
For example, I am looking to change the css of an item scoped as:
meta.class.ts
keyword.control.export.ts
I have tried taking that and putting it into the .syntax–meta.syntax-- … format with various combos in css but no luck so far.
Is there somewhere I can look that up?
#17
You can take a look at the exact DOM structure by opening the developer tools (View -> Developer -> Toggle Developer Tools) and searching for the text in question. I think I can guess at what you'll find, though. .syntax--meta.syntax--class has two class names and isn't very specific. Lots of things are going to be under meta.class.ts, and many of those things will have colors applied. Since keyword.control.export.ts is inside meta.class.ts, anything that applies color to .syntax--keyword will override the parent .syntax--meta.syntax--class styling.
#18
That got me just what I wanted here. Thanks. I wanted to italicize different properties that, it turns, out, are "keywords".
So this is working:
 .syntax--keyword {
 font-style: italic;
 }


Air Pressure in PVC pipe
 1. Consider the following:
 I have 2 PVC pipes, one is small enough to fit into the other with a little extra space. A rubber ring is placed around the smaller one to fill up the empty space, making a good seal to push air in and out of the larger one. Ignore any friction caused by the ring on the inside of the large pipe. The small pipe also has a strong stopper on the side that is plugged into the large pipe.
 The small pipe is pushed slightly up into the big one, and on the other end of the big one there is a stopper, preventing air from escaping. Imagine that it's perfectly attached and won't blow off with any amount of force.
 The small pipe is standing on the ground, slightly inside the large pipe, and some amount of weight is placed on top of the large pipe, say, 300 lbs. (I would use metrics, but there would be too much conversion for my situation)
 Assuming I'm at sea level, and using your every day air, how is the pressure (psi) on the inside of the large pipe determined when you know how much weight is pushing it down?
 2. jcsd
 3. Try
 PV = constant, assuming the temperature before and after compression is the same
 4. Once the assembly comes to rest, the applied weight is balanced by the pressure inside acting on the cross-sectional area at the top of the large pipe. So, you need to know the weight and the inside area.
 Using 256bits hint, you can predict how far down the large pipe will slide for your given weight and pipe size.
 5. All right, let's try adding some numbers here.
 Large pipe length minus inside stopper length: 5 ft
 Small pipe: 5 ft
 (pretend stopper doesn't expand beyond the top of the pipe)
 Weight on top: 300 lbs
 Average external air pressure: 14.7 psi
 Please include the basic equation(s) that you would use to solve this, as it's been a while since I've gone over this kind of thing, and I don't have the textbook that I once had.
 6. To be clear, only the outside diameter of the inside pipe is important.
 Since you are only interested in the final pressure, temperature changes are unimportant.
 7. I'll estimate the outside diameter of the inside pipe to be 2". So its area will be 3.14 square inches.
 Your resulting gauge pressure will be 300 pounds per 3.14 square inches = 95.5psi.
 Since you are mentioning the external air pressure, we can compute the absolute pressure in the pipe as:
 95.5 + 14.7 psi = 110.2psi (absolute).
 8. Oops. I forgot to put in the diameters. id=inside diameter, od=outside diameter
 Big Pipe od: 2.375 in
 Big Pipe id: 2.067 in
 Small od : 1.900 in
 Small id : 1.593 in
 9. I've probably put more information then necessary, but it's been a while since I've taken a Physics class (which I love) and can't find my old textbook, so I didn't want to risk anything. I'd appreciate any recommendations for a good website that talks about this concept and includes some equations that would help me understand and calculate this question.
 And if there does happen to be something that I should have added to my information, let me know. And please include the basic equation(s) that you used to solve this.
 Thanks to everyone helping with this.
 10. My guess for the inside pipe OD was only off by 0.1"! So:
 Gauge pressure: [itex]P_g = 300lb/(\pi (1.9/2)^2)psi = 105.8psi[/itex]
 Absolute pressure: [itex]P_a = P_g + 14.7psi = 120.5psi[/itex]
 There's actually a bit of ambiguity here. The exact amount depends on how that gasket (the rubber ring) is supported. It's against stretched against the inner pipe, but is also pressing against the outer pipe. So which pipe is keeping it from blowing free?
 If it was firmly attached to the inside pipe, then we would use the inside diameter of the outside pipe in our calculation (2.067"). If it was firmly attached to the outside pipe, then we would use the outside diameter of the inside pipe (1.900"), as we did in the calculations above.
 Let's assume that it is a shared task with the inside pipe providing support for 2/3 of the rings width and the outside ring holding 1/3 of that ring.
 Then the diameter we will use is:
 Effective piston diameter: [itex]D_p = (2/3)1.900 + (1/3)2.067 = 1.956 inches[/itex]
 The area we are applying the force against is:
 Effective piston cross section: [itex]A_p = \pi (D_p/2)^2 sq. in. = 3.004 sq. in.[/itex]
 The force we are applying:
 Force against this cross section: [itex]F_p = 300 lb.[/itex]
 The resulting pressure:
 Gauge pressure: [itex]P_g = F_p/A_p = 300lb/(3.004 sq. in.) = 99.9psi[/itex]
 Absolute pressure: [itex]P_a = P_g + 14.7psi = 114.6psi[/itex]

 11..Scott,
 I'm not sure how exactly this will affect the situation, but the smaller tube will have a small groove cut into it to hold the rubber ring, probably a bit of glue to try and hold it. To make it simple, there will be some kind of oil on the inside of the large tube to take away as much friction as possible.
 12. In that case, the ring is fully supported by the inside tube, so the diameter that should have been used is the inside diameter of the outside pipe (2.067"). I'll let you post the arithmetic this time.
 13. Dpiston=inside big pipe=2.067in
 14. With all of these previous pieces of information, I have one more question. How is a new weight calculated of an object that is has been falling?
 I'm going to add a couple things here. Let's assume the small cylinder weighs 5 lbs, and the large cylinder weighs 10 lbs.
 The smaller cylinder in the piston is on the ground and kept up by some metal feet, the large cylinder is being pulled down by gravity (9.8 m/s2). How far would the large cylinder go until the air pressure inside the piston is equally opposite to the gravitational force?
 Next, a heavy object falls down on top of the large cylinder. Let's say it's the 300 pound weight again. If the large cylinder is weaker in pressure capability, and it's max is 350 PSI, how high can the 300 lbs weight fall from to match the 350 PSI?
 Since we already know that P=F/A, we can decide that F=P*A.
 So the max force, F = 350 PSI * 3.356 in2 = 1174.6 lbs
 How high can we drop a 300 lbs object from to get a max pressure of 1174.6 lbs?
Have something to add?

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
public bool HasChildren { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the control contains one or more child controls; otherwise, false.
If the Controls collection has a Count greater than zero, the HasChildren property will return true. Accessing the HasChildren property does not force the creation of a Control.ControlCollection if the control has no children, so referencing this property can provide a performance benefit when walking a tree of controls.
The following code example sets the BackColor and ForeColor of the controls to the default system colors. The code recursively calls itself if the control has any child controls. This code example requires that you have a Form with at least one child control; however, a child container control, like a Panel or GroupBox, with its own child control(s) would better demonstrate the recursion.
// Reset all the controls to the user's default Control color.

What is the shelf life of eye drops? _Industry information_
by：Eugenia 2022-03-31
Many people with eye discomfort do not have a clear concept about the shelf life of eye drops. Although some eye drops have been placed for a long time, they have not been used up. Once the eye is unwell, many patients continue to use this Eye drops, but in fact, the eye drops have been stored for too long and are not suitable for use. The expired eye drops not only can not relieve eye discomfort, but also have a long-term toxic effect on the eyes. What is the shelf life of eye drops? Let's take a look at how long the shelf life of eye drops is. Generally speaking, the shelf life of eye drops is about one to two years if they are stored reasonably and if they are not opened. Due to the different components of the eye drops, some eye drops have a shelf life of several There are monthly ones, even less than three months old. Therefore, when using it, be sure to understand the shelf life of the eye drops. Although the shelf life of eye drops is two years, don't think that they can be kept for so long after opening. After the eye drops are opened, they will be exposed to air for a long time. Even if they are not used up, they should be used one or two. Throw it away after a month. Some eye drops have a short shelf life, and the shelf life is only more than ten days. So, do not use it beyond the expiration date. This is because the expired eye drops are likely to contain bacteria, common Pseudomonas aeruginosa and golden yellow grapes. Cocci are very easy to cause eye infections. If the eye drops are still within the shelf life, but they are already cloudy, it is better not to use them. Generally, if such turbidity occurs, the eye drops have changed and are not suitable for use. Generally, eye drops contain a certain preservative, and the bacteriostatic agent itself will also have an effect on the eye tissue cells, so after opening, it is generally recommended to throw it away after using it within one month, otherwise it will take a long time and will not be good for the eyes .

I need to detect the Sun from the space sky.
These are examples of the input images:
I've got such results after Morphologic filtering ( open operation for twice )
Here's the algorithm code of this processing:
// Color to Gray
cvCvtColor(image, gray, CV_RGB2GRAY);
// color threshold
// Morphologic open for 2 times
cvMorphologyEx( gray, dst, NULL, CV_SHAPE_RECT, CV_MOP_OPEN, 2);
Isn't it too heavy processing for such a simple task? And how to find the center of the Sun? If I find white points, than I'll find white points of big Earth ( left top corner on first example image )
Please advise me please my further action to detect the Sun.
Trying algorithm of getting centroid by formula : {x,y} = {M10/M00, M01/M00}
CvMoments moments;
cvMoments(dst, &moments, 1);
double m00, m10, m01;
m00 = cvGetSpatialMoment(&moments, 0,0);
m10 = cvGetSpatialMoment(&moments, 1,0);
m01 = cvGetSpatialMoment(&moments, 0,1);
// calculating centroid
float centroid_x = m10/m00;
float centroid_y = m01/m00;
 cvCircle( image,
 cvPoint(cvRound(centroid_x), cvRound(centroid_y)),
 50, CV_RGB(125,125,0), 4, 8,0);
And where Earth is in the photo, I got such a result:
So, centroid is on the Earth. :(
Trying cvHoughCircles:
CvMemStorage* storage = cvCreateMemStorage(0);
CvSeq* circles = cvHoughCircles(dst, storage, CV_HOUGH_GRADIENT, 12,
 dst->width/2, 255, 100, 0, 35);
if ( circles->total > 0 ) {
 // getting first found circle
 float* circle = (float*)cvGetSeqElem( circles, 0 );
 // Drawing:
 // green center dot
 cvCircle( image, cvPoint(cvRound(circle[0]),cvRound(circle[1])),
 3, CV_RGB(0,255,0), -1, 8, 0 );
 // wrapping red circle
 cvRound(circle[2]), CV_RGB(255,0,0), 3, 8, 0 );
First example: bingo, but the second - no ;(
I've tried different configuration of cvHoughCircles() - couldn't find configuration to fit every my example photo.
matchTemplate approach worked for me ( response of mevatron ). It worked with big number of tests.

How about trying a simple matchTemplate approach. I used this template image:
enter image description here
And, it detected the 3 out of 3 of the sun images I tried: enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here
This should work due to the fact that circles (in your case the sun) are rotationally invariant, and since you are so far away from the sun it should be roughly scale invariant as well. So, template matching will work quite nicely here.
Finally, here is the code that I used to do this:
_TAG_
_TAG_
_TAG_
_TAG_
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
 /// Load image and template
 string inputName = "sun2.png";
 string outputName = "sun2_detect.png";
 Mat img = imread( inputName, 1 );
 Mat templ = imread( "sun_templ.png", 1 );
 /// Create the result matrix
 int result_cols = img.cols - templ.cols + 1;
 int result_rows = img.rows - templ.rows + 1;
 Mat result( result_cols, result_rows, CV_32FC1 );
 /// Do the Matching and Normalize
 matchTemplate(img, templ, result, CV_TM_CCOEFF);
 Point maxLoc;
 minMaxLoc(result, NULL, NULL, NULL, &maxLoc);
 rectangle(img, maxLoc, Point( maxLoc.x + templ.cols, maxLoc.y + templ.rows ), Scalar(0, 255, 0), 2);
 imshow("img", img);
 imshow("result", result);
 imwrite(outputName, img);
 return 0;
Hope you find that helpful!

Actually, the reasons this is working are different from the mentioned ones. For a starter, there is nothing resembling the used template anywhere else in these images. Also, this is much more likely to be several times slower than the initial morphological approach. – mmgp Dec 17 '12 at 23:43
Good points indeed :) However, since I was assuming the space ship is in our solar system, I believe it's safe to say only one Sun will show up :D – mevatron Jan 24 '13 at 15:40
I guess this would fail if any part of the HUD (the pilot user interface) gets on top of the sun. Unless the template matching gives a score on how good the match is, that way you could threshold the top results and it would probably work with some obstructions. – Rui Marques Feb 25 at 16:36
Color Segmentation Approach
Do a color segmentation on the images to identify objects on the black background. You may identify the sun according to its area (given this uniquely identifies it, resp. don't varies largely accross images). A more sophisticated approach could compute image moments, e.g. hu moments of the objects. See this page for these features.
Use a classification algorithm of your choice to do the actual classification of the objects found. The most simple approach is to manually specify thresholds, resp. value ranges that turn out to work for all(most) of your object/image combinations.
You may compute the actual position from the raw moments, as for the circular sun the position is equal to the center of mass
Centroid: {x, y } = { M10/M00, M01/M00 }
Edge Map Approach
Another option would be a circle hough transformation of the edge map, this will hopefully return some candidate circles (by position and radius). You may select the sun-circle according to the radius you expect (if you are lucky there is at most one).
share|improve this answer
I think with image moments it won't work. If there will be only the sun on the screen - than, the center of the Sun is Centroid point. But if Earth takes some screen's part (like in image #1 top left), than this part is "heavier" than Sun and Centroid will be shifted. I've tried with CircleHough, and it doesn't work for all my example photos... – Innuendo Nov 22 '11 at 0:31
I've updated my questions - examples were added – Innuendo Nov 22 '11 at 1:14
A simple addition to your code is to filter out objects based on their size. If you always expect the earth to be much bigger than the sun, or the sun to have almost the same area in each picture, you can filter it by area.
Try Blob detector for this task.
And note that it may be good to apply a morphological opening/closing instead of simple erode or dilate, so your sun will have almost the same area before and after processing.

thanx, i think it would be usefull for me, but my openCv build doesn't have blob detector, and I'm novice in C++ (i won't be able to compile the newest version) – Innuendo Nov 22 '11 at 20:40
Take the latest OpenCV from sourceforge sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary And to use it is as simple as the increment operator :) It's already compiled. And.. did you add using namespace cv? How don't you have the blob detector? – sammy Nov 23 '11 at 6:50

Munida subrugosa is the most abundant galatheid crab species in the Beagle Channel (55°S 68°W) off Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Samples of crabs and the epibenthic community were taken on a monthly basis at two different depth strata (<40m and >70m), by means of epibenthic trawling from 1998 to 1999. Stomach contents from 1582 crabs were analysed, out of which only 2% had empty stomachs. The quantity of food in the stomach contents was clearly seasonal and similar at both depths. The organic matter varied throughout the year and between both depths, being significantly higher in summer/spring than in autumn/winter. Munida subrugosa shows two different and simultaneous feeding habits: (1) as a predator M. subrugosa feeds on crustaceans, algae, and polychaetes; and (2) as a deposit feeder M. subrugosa consumes particulate organic matter and organisms associated with the superficial layer of of the sediment. The composition of the diet of Munida subrugosa was similar for both years, and independent of depth, sex or season. Munida subrugosa selected crustaceans only in autumn and winter, whereas most food items were found according to their availability in the habitat.

When it comes to eating a healthy balanced diet, having enough fruit servings is essential. Fruit is full of vitamins and fiber, has little or no fat and is packed with antioxidants, which help to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancer.
How many servings of fruit do you need every day? It depends on your calorie needs. An adult eating 2,000 calories a day should aim for 2 cups of fruit. A good rule is to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. (Remember that fruit juice doesn't have the fiber content of whole fruit and that dried fruits are calorie-dense and may contain added sugars.) Check out these examples of a serving size of fruit, as well as a serving of juice and a serving of dried fruit.

(3) Does the child still have a "significant" connection with Wisconsin? Since Harry and their daughter still live in Wisconsin, it is presumed that they have a significant connection with Wisconsin through their residency. As such, Wisconsin is likely the proper jurisdiction to hear the modification.
(4) Where is the relevant evidence in the case available? Often, evidence is a crucial factor in determining the outcome. In the family law context, relevant evidence for a modification of placement may include testimony from the child's doctors, teachers, coaches, childcare providers, or other family members. Although this is not the most important factor in determining the correct jurisdiction, it is a consideration. In our hypothetical, Harry and Susan's daughter has never lived in any state other than Wisconsin. It is highly likely that relevant evidence will be more readily available in Wisconsin than in New York. These facts support the idea that Wisconsin is the appropriate jurisdiction.
(5) Has there been a waiver of jurisdiction by any courts? Sometimes, a court may determine that it no longer has jurisdiction to hear a matter. Often, this is because none of the parties live in that jurisdiction any longer, and thus their connection with the jurisdiction has been severed. In our hypothetical, the Wisconsin court has not yet waived its jurisdiction. As such, Wisconsin is the proper jurisdiction to hear Harry's modification.
Due to the facts of the hypothetical, it is likely that Wisconsin retains jurisdiction over the matter, and Harry's modification filed in Wisconsin will proceed in front of a Wisconsin court. Susan's modification filed in New York would then be denied for a lack of jurisdiction. Despite this result, it is possible that the New York court may still want to hold one or more hearings on Susan's modification while jurisdiction is being determined.

What Are The Benefits Of Divorce Mediation?
Going through divorce can be a complicated, stressful, and costly process. Some couples, however, choose to work with a third-party neutral to help resolve disputes, alleviate stress, and reduce the expense of court litigation. This process is called divorce mediation. Many couples who choose to resolve their divorce differences through divorce mediation find the process to be empowering. Divorce mediation is an alternative form of dispute resolution that allows divorcing spouses to retain a strong voice in the outcome of their divorce settlement by agreeing in advance to attempt to resolve all issues in their divorce outside of court and with the assistance of a neutral divorce mediator.
Potential issues that may be resolved through divorce mediation are not confined to a specific area. A qualified, certified neutral divorce mediator can guide couples toward resolving complex issues related to:
 - Property division, including real estate, retirement accounts, other assets, and debts
 - Child custody and placement
 - Child support
 - Spousal maintenance
 - All other divorce related topics
The mediator in a divorce acts as a third-party neutral who works to facilitate discussions to resolve disputes involving any aspect of the divorce. Moreover, an experienced family law practitioner who is a certified divorce mediator and serves as a neutral in the case who can provide the parties with knowledgeable education and guidance concerning all of the available options to resolve a particular issue. This educational prong of the mediation process can help the parties to explore personalized solutions that best serve their individual goals and needs, rather than focusing on an all or nothing fight in court. It is important to understand that the mediator does not act as judge, seeking to impose a final decision to resolve disputes, nor can the divorce mediator provide legal advice. The mediator is a neutral in the case who works to facilitate reasoned discussions between the parties to arrive at workable and mutually satisfying solutions to disputes.
As of 2018, under Wisconsin law, your divorce mediator may now draft all of the documents to memorialize the final mediated settlement and the pleadings necessary in your divorce case. In other words, from start to finish, a divorce mediator can assist you with facilitating your divorce through the court system. While the mediator does not represent either side, in preparing the legal paperwork, your divorce mediator can give you peace of mind that the documents are complete and follow Wisconsin law to reduce the potential for additional disputes down the road.
Avoiding litigation may reduce stress and higher costs of divorce
Mediation provides a range of important benefits that are not achieved through a long battle in court, such as:
 - More control over the outcome of the divorce
 - Reduced costs from the absence of litigation
 - Reduced stress through the elimination of litigation and contested hearings
 - A concurrent positive experience for the children of divorcing parents

Lawyer Reviews – Reader Beware!
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers!" Clearly, William Shakespeare was not in the midst of an ugly divorce or custody battle when he wrote those immortal words. Had Will actually needed a divorce or custody lawyer, instead of killing them, he would have done an internet search on family lawyers and carefully read all of the reviews before considering which lawyer was represent his rights in court.
Everyone hopes that they can share the opinions of William Shakespeare and never need the assistance and guidance of a family lawyer. What do you do however, when the unexpected happens and you are in need of someone who is going to fight for you and more importantly your children? The decision to hire a lawyer can be one of the most impactful decisions of your life. It is imperative that you find the best fit for you. A savvy consumer will research websites, consider experience and read reviews. When you read the reviews, however, you need to consider if you are reading an actual client review of an attorney or if you are reading a story of defeat, retaliation or just plain vengeance. Some clients will turn to the internet to share their opinions of the legal process and their respective attorneys. However, many times, reviews that are written, are written by opposing parties who left the process scorn and need to seek vengeance on the attorney that made the legal process so unpleasant.
When you read a negative review, consider the author. Is the author actually a client of the attorney? If, in reading the negative review, it is obvious that the author is the opposing party then consider why the opposing party took the time and energy to write a negative review of the other attorney. Sometimes the best compliment of an attorney doing his or her job comes from the other side leaving the courtroom upset.
If the negative review is written by a client, read and consider the other reviews. Does the negative review conform to what others are saying or is the negative a review a stand alone? There are times when a client wants a lawyer to take a position contrary her advice. When that happens, an ethical lawyer will withdraw from the case, likely leaving the client upset. Is the negative review written by a client who is upset that the attorney did not do what he wanted her to do? Or, perhaps the client is upset at the amount of fees which were charged. However, that could have been due to circumstances beyond the lawyer's control such as a difficult client or difficult opposing counsel. Some clients are upset at the situation itself but the lawyer is the handy target to blame.
Most people do not realize that ethical rule prohibit lawyers from responding in detail to a negative review. Always keep in mind the old adage, there are two sides to every story. There have been times when an attorney reads a negative review and literally screams at her computer screen, "that is not what happened at all!" The reader of that negative review will never know the "other side" because the ethical lawyer is prohibited from sharing any details that could even remotely violate the attorney client privilege. A savvy reader of lawyer reviews will consider the fact that there is an explanation (or even correction) to the negative review, that that explanation will never be known by the reader.
Make sure that you read all the reviews from all sources. A client may review an attorney on AVVO, but not on Google. Make sure that you research several review platforms (Google, Yahoo, AVVO, Yelp, Yellow Pages, etc.) to obtain a full picture of what clients are saying about your potential lawyer. While reviews are pivotally important, you must also consider experience. The more experienced the lawyer, the more likely he is to have a negative review or two. It is simply the law of averages. Do not let a negative review deter you from scheduling a consultation. If reading a negative review gives you pause, ask the lawyer


Physical Adjustments in Yoga Class
Some of us have been in a yoga class and received physical adjustment and felt good. Some of us have been in the same situation and it felt bad. It seems like the same adjustment can bring different results. Why does the touch feel different? Is there different kind of touch?
Photo by Mark Stephens
Before going into the various types of touch, let's remember that the purpose of any adjustment, is to bring students into awareness of their own alignment, to come into the pose that suits their body, not into a "perfect posture". The moment that physical adjustment is conducted, the teacher's energy comes together with the student's energy. This is an intimate moment, so make sure you agree for it.
It is important to express your feeling during the class. A yoga class is a safe space where your needs are respected. Please say it to your teacher if you don't want to receive adjustments. Saying no to physical adjustment does not mean that you are a worse student or that you don't go deeper into your poses.
In the context of an asana class, the touch can be divided in nine different categories:
1. Investigative Touch
This is a touch to check your muscle activation. For example a pat on your quadriceps to make sure you engage it during Tadasana (Mountain Pose).
2. Directive Touch
This touch guides the particular part of a body to move to a direction. For example is guiding the shoulders to be open, and to open the chest during Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
3. Adjusting Touch
This is a touch that is firm and a complete contact to student's body to to adjust the pose. For example, rotating student's upper arm externally in Extended Side Angle
4. Alerting Touch
This touch is to alert student of a particular part of their body. For example touching the fingers in High Mountain to engage the finger tips.
5. Loving Touch
This is for example a pat on the back, which is supportive to give encouragement to student after a challenge.
6. Stabilizing Touch
This touch aims to stabilize student's body in poses that need balance. For example a firm hand on top of the upper hip in Three Legged Dog. This touch would need to use the whole hand and typically is a firm touch.
7. Invasive Touch
This is improper and unethical touch that purposely touch sexual part of the body, or other sensitive parts such the groins, belly, buttocks, throat, or face.
8. Random Touch
This is a random touch to random part of the body with no intention of adjusting. This touch is unnecessary and can create confusion.
9. Sensual Touch
This is a touch that meant to be sensual with no intention to improve the posture. Very improper, unnecessary and inappropriate.
We are all different creatures. Some of us have no problems in touching and being touched, and some of us really feel discomfort in being touched or to touch. Make sure you communicate your feelings in your yoga class, and you can get more benefits of the class, feeling safe and secured.

Effective treatment of pelvic lymphocele by lymphaticovenular anastomosis.
Todokoro T., Furniss D., Oda K., Kawana K., Narushima M., Mihara M., Kikuchi K., Hara H., Yano T., Koshima I.
OBJECTIVE: Pelvic lymphocele can be a severe complication associated with surgical procedures such as pelvic lymphadenectomy. Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is increasing in popularity as a surgical treatment for lymphedema. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether LVA is an effective treatment for lymphocele, which is caused by an obstruction of the lymphatic flow in a manner similar to the development of lymphedema. METHODS: Eleven female patients, who presented with lymphocele, were treated with LVA. Before the operation, 3 of them were treated with a percutaneous catheter. Lymphocele size and the volume of daily drainage were measured before and after LVA. RESULTS: The lymphocele was completely resolved in 6 patients and partially resolved in the remaining 5 patients. The mean size of the pelvic lymphocele changed from 400 ml (range 50-1050 ml) to 43 ml (range 0-120 ml) (P<0.01). In the 3 patients who had percutaneous drainage catheters, the volume of fluid drained decreased from 340 ml/day to 20 ml/day after LVA. CONCLUSIONS: Our technique is minimally invasive and is performed under local anesthesia. LVA is effective regardless of the size of the lymphocele. Therefore, LVA should be considered as a therapy for lymphocele because of its low invasiveness and its effectiveness in re-establishing circulation of lymphatic flow. Further studies should be performed to compare LVA with other minimally invasive techniques, such as percutaneous catheter and sclerotherapy.

What Are the Medical Uses of Rubia Cordifolia?
Frequently used in ayurvedic medicine, the rubia cordifolia plant may be used internally or externally to treat a wide range of disorders including those pertaining to female reproduction, the gastrointestinal tract and the skin. Preparations that include derivatives of the flowering plant are also frequently used to treat gouty arthritis, infections and urinary tract problems. Studies indicate that the medicinal plants contain flavonoids, salicylates, and sulfur. Tests reveal the plant roots also contain tannin. Also known as the common madder or the Indian madder, rubia cordifolia may be used alone, but is frequently combined with other herbs as treatments.
Taken internally in capsule form, the plant reportedly eliminates abnormal vaginal discharges and regulates menstruation cycles. The antispasmodic properties of the plant seem closely related to the ability of calcium channel blockers. This action supposedly aids in relieving painful uterine cramping. Some believe the plant also possesses the ability to eliminate the congestion and stagnation of tissues throughout the body, which cleanses the uterus and improves menstruation flow. The plant's ability to inhibit platelet aggregation may be the contributing factor to increased blood flow.
Proponents commonly use the preparation for diarrhea and dyspepsia. The antispasmodic properties of the plant may calm cramping and increased peristalsis commonly associated with a number of gastric disorders. Some believe the plant effectively treats gastrointestinal parasites. Formulations also reportedly treat urolithiasis, commonly known as kidney stones, and decrease blood uric acid levels. Indian physicians may additionally use the plant as an adjunctive treatment for hepatitis.
Sulfur and tannins within the plant provide some antibacterial properties, particularly against strains of staphylococcus. Individuals often use rubia cordifolia for external and systemic infections. Containing salicylates similar to aspirin, the plant generally contains some anti-inflammatory characteristics and is frequently used for fevers. Taken internally or applied externally, many believe these anti-inflammatory properties aid in relieving symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Ayruvedic practitioners commonly prescribe rubia cordifolia as a skin treatment for acne, burns or eczema, along with a host of other dermatological conditions. Containing antiseptic and astringent properties, many use plant preparations to dry oozing, eliminate infection and promote healing. Certain concoctions containing the plant also supposedly reduce skin wrinkling and remove freckles.
Rubia cordifolia grows in India, but may also be found in Africa, Asia and Greece. The roots are generally the favored part of the plant, though preparations may contain the flowers, leaves or stems. The roots typically contain a red pigment, frequently used for dyeing textiles.

@Grivusangel -- As with most natural remedies, ask your doctor if the rubia will interfere with any of the medications she's now taking, and go with that advice.
I do use some natural remedies, but as with anything in allopathic medicine, some things work better than others for some people. I did get relief from some joint pain with the rubia, but I can't speak for everyone. The lady who owns the local health food store said she has tried it without much success, so it's kind of up to the individual. It probably won't hurt you, so it might be worth a try.

I've shopped in health food stores that had a wide range of botanical remedies, but haven't seen this. Does anyone know if if actually works? Is it as effective as the claims say it is? Also, is it very expensive and where in the world can you get it? Do you have to order it online?
I'm interested because my mother has rheumatoid arthritis and would like a more natural remedy than what she is taking now. Has anyone ever taken it and can you give me any advice on it? I guess I just want to know if it actually works.

The role of black laborers in the development of Coral Gables
By Dorothy Jenkins Fields
The Gilded Age, the era in United States history spanning the late 19th century, is known for rapid economic and population growth as well as extreme wealth. Following that period industrialist James Deering built Vizcaya, his Italian palace in Coconut Grove. A decade later Coral Gables, the dream city of real estate developer, planner and builder George E. Merrick, was incorporated in 1925.
In the context of the time, Deering and Merrick were wealthy white men. In contrast, most black people were poor and limited "in every phase of life," through Jim Crow laws sanctioned by the United States Supreme Court and regional customs. Locally, black people were not allowed to vote, and were excluded from participating in the city's government and society. Moreover, restricted clauses in land deeds prohibited black people from living in the same neighborhoods as white people.
Blacks were primarily servants -- the men as day laborers and the women as domestics. In the first issue of the Historical Association's journal, Tequesta, George Merrick made these observations in his article Pre-Flagler Influences on the Lower Florida East Coast: "… practically the only available workers (the Bahaman negro) … had a distinct and important influence … (they) brought inspiration to many of the first English, French, Northern and Southern planters…at first skeptical of the coral-rocky country. Bahaman negroes brought their own commonly used trees, vegetables and fruits… skill in masonry building with native coral limestone … walls, roads, other uses of the coral; and uses of the land, of the sea."
At the turn of the 20th century the black Bahamians traveled from the West Indies to Key West, then settled in the "colored village in Coconut Grove" and Golden Gate neighborhood. In 1925 when more living space was needed for black workers the Coral Gables Securities Corporation made available property purchased from a pioneer white school teacher, Flora McFarlane. Some of Coral Gables' "colored" neighborhoods received electricity in the 1950s.
Homeownership was important to pioneer black residents, including Mariah Brown, Frank and Ruth Payne, Rebecca Johnson Gibson and Merries Johnson Moore. According to the City of Miami designation report: (E. W. F. Stirrup, a black Bahamian) "became one of the largest landowners in Coconut Grove. Believing homeowners were better citizens he built more than a hundred houses in Coconut Grove, providing many newly arrived Bahamians with the opportunity to purchase their first home."
Golden Gate residents organized the Lola B. Walker Homeowners Association. Members Leona Cooper Baker, William Cooper and Leona Ferguson Cooper led the Association in nominating the McFarlane Homestead Subdivision a historic district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
The black neighborhoods located in Coral Gables are examples of proud ownership in "the City Beautiful." The passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 changed the laws and removed exclusions. Some descendants of the laborers distinguished themselves in medicine, education, religion, law and public service. Some choose to continue living and working in the pioneer neighborhoods.


The residential landscape in Australian capital cities is evolving to demand a better use of space and increased functionality, to service what is becoming a higher and denser population. It is vital that housing availability adapts to provide for the population, with the continued trend away from detached housing to multi-residential or higher density living.
This white paper examines the factors driving the changing residential landscape in Australia, and the need to create living spaces that are efficient, functional and sustainable.

DITA Implementation
Home » DITA » DITA Implementation
DITA is not just about tools.
Like the best-in-the-world cooking equipment on its own does not automatically make you a chef, implementing DITA requires more than installing the right editor. DITA implementation is a multi-step process that usually involves the following stages:
1. Content Strategy Development
No new solution can be successfully implemented without a roadmap that defines a variety of aspects, including:
 - How monolithic documents are split into individual topics
 - How content variations are handled
 - How to adjust your writing style to DITA
 - How existing content is to be restructured or rewritten
 - Whether and how to customize DITA
2. DITA Specialization
DITA provides a flexible mechanism known as specialization that enables adjusting DITA content model to the structure of your content.
3. Stylesheet Development
With DITA, writers are not responsible for formatting. Authors focus on content while look-and-feel, which is defined in separate stylesheets, is applied automatically. Based on the results of content analysis, you need to decide which stylesheet must be built.
4. Legacy Content Migration
There is always an amount of documentation to be converted to DITA. Because any conversion is style-based, success of your conversion depends on whether you use styles consistently, avoid ad hoc formatting, and do not practice manual formatting.
5. Training
The biggest issue in implementing DITA is getting people to understand how to write in a structured fashion. For some writers the move to the guided authoring environment may be difficult. Proper training can make this move smooth and help writers use DITA concepts in the most effective way.
Implementing DITA takes time and patience. However, a properly implemented DITA solution helps you do more within the same time and, thus, justify all your efforts.

CGI::Pretty - module to produce nicely formatted HTML code
CGI::Pretty is a module that derives from CGI. It's sole function is to allow users of CGI to output nicely formatted HTML code.
When using the CGI module, the following code: print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );
produces the following output: foo
If a user were to create a table consisting of many rows and many columns, the resultant HTML code would be quite difficult to read since it has no carriage returns or indentation.
CGI::Pretty fixes this problem. What it does is add a carriage return and indentation to the HTML code so that one can easily read it.
- print table( TR( td( "foo" ) ) );
now produces the following output: foo
CGI::Pretty is far slower than using CGI.pm directly. A benchmark showed that it could be about 10 times slower. Adding newlines and spaces may alter the rendered appearance of HTML. Also, the extra newlines and spaces also make the file size larger, making the files take longer to download.
With all those considerations, it is recommended that CGI::Pretty be used primarily for debugging.

Rwanda has launched the first African Air Quality and Climate Laboratory equipped with the "Medusa system" that will measure more than 50 gases that deplete the ozone layer.
The ozone layer is a belt of the naturally occurring gas "ozone above Earth that serves as a shield from the harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun.
The $2 million project is being implemented by the ministries of Education, Environment and Rwanda Meteorological Agency in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
According to Eugene Mutimura, the Minister for Education, the laboratory which will be based at the University of Rwanda's College of Science and Technology, will have equipment be installed on top of Mugogo Mountain in Nyabihu District and at Kalisimbi volcano so as to measure Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that deplete the ozone layer.
The equipment on the mountains will observe climate change in Africa, detect the sources and the amount of the gases being emitted in regional countries and inside Rwanda.
"This climate observatory project that set up the centre of excellence in Africa with air quality and climate lab will be informing policy makers on how to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Policy makers will be able to come up with measures to control car emissions, curbing deforestation and encouraging more tree planting, reducing use of fossil fuels, developing smart green cities and transport among many others," he said.
He added that a group of Rwandan technicians who studied atmospheric sciences from MIT are implementing the project.
Dr Jimmy Gasore, an atmospheric scientist and chief scientist of the climate observatory project said that with climate observation, the government can predict weather events for adaptation and mitigation measures.
"We are a team of technicians working on measuring if these global warming gases such as carbon dioxide and Hydrofluorocarbons are being reduced or not," he said
Gasore added that the climate lab will also coordinate eight other air quality testing equipment across all provinces that monitor and show sources of air pollution in various parts of the country.
He noted that the data from the system will also enable Rwandan experts during different negotiations on climate agreements.
The Medusa system, which was installed at University of Rwanda's College of Science and Technology, will measure more than 50 gases that deplete ozone layer. Michel Nkurunziza.
Implementation of climate agreements
Faustin Munyazikwiye, the Deputy Director General of Rwanda Environment Management Authority who is also a climate negotiator, said the Medusa system was timely since the world had agreed to phase out Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that deplete the ozone layer and having equipment to measure them in the atmosphere is a better intervention.
The Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol adopted in 2016 to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) entered into force after 65 countries ratified the agreement which will see global nations gradually reduce global-warming-inducing HFCs by more than 80 per cent over the next 30 years.
The implementation of the move will avoid up to 0.5°C of warming by 2100 which is a contribution to the Paris agreement that seeks to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
"We are very glad to launch the system which measures more than 50 and more gases under the Montreal Protocol as amended in Rwanda. This system came at the right time when Kigali Amendment on Montreal Protocol came into force 1st January 2019," said Munyazikwiye.
"We continue to come up with measures in mitigating and adapting to climate change and with the pledge of mobilizing $100 billion every year by developed countries to least developed countries, we will win the battle, he added.


Decimal Trading
DEFINITION of 'Decimal Trading'
A system in which the price of a security is quoted using a decimal format rather than fractions. For example, a decimal trading quote would be $56.25; using fractions, the same quote would appear as $56¼. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ordered all stock markets within the U.S. to convert to decimals by April 9, 2001. Prior to 2001, markets in the United States utilized fractions in price quotes. Since decimalization, all quotes appear in the decimal trading format.
BREAKING DOWN 'Decimal Trading'
Decimalization has led to tighter spreads since smaller price movements can be accounted for. For example, prior to decimalization, one-sixteenth (1/16) of $1 was the minimum price movement represented in a price quote (this is equal to $0.0625).
With decimalization, the minimum price movement is 1 cent for stocks over $1, providing a greater number of price levels and allowing for tighter spreads between the bid and the ask levels for trading instruments.
