[edit]
There are a few challenges to implementing MoB in Icon/Unicon.
 - There are no nested procedures and non-local variables that go with them
 - There is no selectable call by value .vs. call by name/reference. Knowledge of the implicit mutable/immutable types is needed.
 - Procedure calls can't be deferred transparently but can be deferred through co-expressions
 - Co-expressions aren't enough as they trap local copies of variables which follow Icon rules for mutability/immutability
The initial solution below involved the use of co-expressions which seemed a natural tool to solve MoB. It turns out that co-expressions aren't necessary to solve this task. Co-expressions are very powerful and MoB really doesn't exercise their full capability. There is a lighter weight solution and also a cheat solution which is a further simplification. The light weight version exploits that procedures are a data type and can be passed around and assigned. This allows us to defer calling 'B' which is just what is required. The change introduces a new record definition 'defercall' and changes only two lines of the original solution in 'eval' and 'B'. The cheat would be to have 'eval' know that it always called 'B'.
MoB is intense and can be pushed to challenge any machine. If you run this and the program hangs up or fails with an inadequate space for static allocation error, you may need to tweak the way Icon/Unicon allocates memory. This is controlled through the environment variables COEXPSIZE, MSTKSIZE, BLKSIZE (see Icon and Unicon Environment Variables).
Notes:
 - The co-expression version will require adjustment to COEXPRSIZE, and possibly BLKSIZE and MSTKSIZE.
 - Mob 13 ran on a machine with 4GB RAM running Unicon Win32 using COEXPSIZE=71000; BLKSIZE=_PHONE_; and MSTKSIZE=_PHONE_.
 - Mob 15 ran on on a 64-bit linux box with 16GB RAM with COEXPSIZE to 200000 (and everything else defaulting).
 - The non-co-expression version required adjustment to BLKSIZE and MSTKSIZE.
 - Mob 21 ran on the same 4GB machine with BLKSIZE=_PHONE_; and MSTKSIZE=70000000
 - Mob 23 ran on the same 4GB machine with BLKSIZE=20000000; and MSTKSIZE=300000000
The co-expression version.
record mutable(value) # we need mutable integers
# ... be obvious when we break normal scope rules
procedure main(arglist) # supply the initial k value
k := integer(arglist[1])|10 # .. or default to 10=default
write("Man or Boy = ", A( k, 1, -1, -1, 1, 0 ) )
end

procedure eval(ref) # evaluator to distinguish between a simple value and a code reference
return if type(ref) == "co-expression" then @ref else ref
end

procedure A(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's A
k := mutable(k) # make k mutable for B
return if k.value <= 0 then # -> boy compilers may recurse and die here
eval(x4) + eval(x5) # the crux of separating man .v. boy compilers
else # -> boy compilers can run into trouble at k=5+
B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)
end

procedure B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's B
k.value -:= 1 # diddle A's copy of k
return A(k.value, create |B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5),x1,x2,x3,x4) # call A with a new k and 5 x's
end
Below are the code changes for the non-co-expression version. A new record type is introduced and the two return expressions are changed slightly.
record defercall(proc,arglist) # light weight alternative to co-expr for MoB

procedure eval(ref) # evaluator to distinguish between a simple value and a code reference
return if type(ref) == "defercall" then ref.proc!ref.arglist else ref
end

procedure B(k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) # Knuth's B
k.value -:= 1 # diddle A's copy of k
return A(k.value, defercall(B,[k,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5]),x1,x2,x3,x4)# call A with a new k and 5 x's
end

text: Audio slideshows is the topic of Today. For journalist an audio slideshow can add depth to a story, it gives the consumer more visuals to pair to a story. This may make the story more real to the reader. The audio on a slideshow can give them a feel of being there in the story. This gives the journalist more dimensions to their story. The pictures in the slideshow are important because they in this case are the story, and the audio is telling the pictures story as well. This also shows that the journalist can tell a story in more than one way. This is very important for a journalist, it shows diversity in their work.

Corporate air pollution reporting pilot scheme
Scoping study report: Company reporting of air-pollutant emissions: A scoping project
Businesses across industry have a key role to play in reducing air pollution. Many activities including internal processes, production-related activities and/or wider supply chain logistics can and do generate both air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Despite this, current corporate reporting frameworks focus exclusively on measuring and reporting greenhouse emissions whilst air pollution and its impacts are not considered.
Proactive reporting on corporate air pollution emissions demonstrates good environmental, social, and governance values, appeals to socially responsible investors and consumers, and can inform activities to improve air quality in local neighbourhoods and communities. It also helps to improve the quality of life for those living and working nearby.
Broadening corporate GHG reporting to include pollutants that affect local air quality represents an important step-change in environmental reporting that supports better sustainability.
To support companies in reporting emissions of air pollutants together with greenhouse gases, Ricardo, in partnership with Impact on Urban Health and the Clean Air Fund, is developing a new approach to corporate emissions reporting.
As part of the initial phase of work, a scoping study was carried out to establish what methods could be used for calculating air pollution emissions and how air pollution reporting could be integrated with GHG reporting. The study concluded that there were established methods for calculating air pollutant emissions that could be used for reporting, and that such methods could be used to build upon existing GHG reporting processes. However, to be useful, this approach would generally require more information to be collected.
Engagement with businesses indicated that there is a clear willingness amongst corporations to understand their air pollution emissions better, identify actions that could be taken to reduce emissions and how best to report these emissions alongside GHG emissions. A full copy of the scoping report can be found here.
Take part in second phase of pilot scheme
Work is now underway to run a second phase of the pilot scheme providing detailed guidance to businesses on how to report on their air pollution emissions and a platform through which to share this information and lessons learnt with other businesses.
If your organisation is interested in taking part in the second phase of the Corporate air pollution reporting pilot scheme, please fill in the contact form on this page and we will contact you in due course.


Specify conditions for ordering
 ORDCOND([FOR ]
 [ALL] [WHILE <;lCondition>]
 [EVAL [EVERY ]]
 [RECORD ] [NEXT ]
 [REST] [DESCENDING])
 FOR specifies the conditional set of records on which
 to create the order. Only those records that meet the condition are
 included in the resulting order. is an expression that may
 be no longer than 250 characters under the DBFNTX and DBFNDX drivers.
 The maximum value for these expressions is determined by the RDD. The
 FOR condition is stored as part of the order bag and used when updating
 or recreating the index using the ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() functions.
 Duplicate key values are not added to the order bag.
 Drivers that do not support the FOR condition produce an "unsupported"
 The FOR clause provides the only scoping that is maintained for all
 database changes. All other scope conditions create orders that do not
 reflect database updates.
 ALL specifies all orders in the current or specified work area. ALL
 is the default scope for ORDCOND().
 WHILE specifies another condition that must be met by
 each record as it is processed. As soon as the record is encountered
 that causes the condition to fail, the ORDCREATE() function terminates.
 If a WHILE clause is specified, the data is processed in the controlling
 order. The WHILE condition is transient (i.e., it is not stored in the
 file, not used for index updates, and not used for index updates and
 ORDREBUILD() purposes). The WHILE clause creates temporary orders, but
 these orders are not updated.
 Drivers that do not support the WHILE condition produce an "unsupported"
 Using the WHILE clause is more efficient and faster than using the FOR
 clause. The WHILE clause only processes data for which is
 true from the current position. The FOR clause, however, processes all
 data in the data source.
 EVAL evaluates a code block every , where
 is a value specified by the EVERY clause. The default value
 is 1. This is useful in producing a status bar or odometer that
 monitors the indexing progress. The return value of must be a
 logical data type. If returns false (.F.), indexing halts.
 EVERY is a clause containing a numeric expression that
 modifies how often is EVALuated. The EVERY option of the EVAL
 clause offers a performance enhancement by evaluating the condition for
 every nth record instead of evaluating every record ordered. The EVERY
 keyword is ignored if you specify no EVAL conditions.
 RECORD specifies the processing of the specified record.
 NEXT specifies the portion of the database to process. If
 you specify NEXT, the database is processed in the controlling order for
 the number of identities. The scope is transient (i.e., it is
 not stored in the order and not used for ORDREBUILDing purposes).
 REST specifies the processing of all records from the current
 position of the record pointer to the end of file (EOF).
 DESCENDING specifies that the keyed pairs be sorted in decreasing
 order of value. If you create a DESCENDING index, you will not need to
 use the DESCEND() function during a SEEK. DESCENDING is an attribute of
 the file, where it is stored and used for ORDREBUILDing purposes.
 ORDCOND() is designed to set up the conditions for creating a new order
 (using the ORDCREATE() function) or rebuilding an existing order (using
 the ORDREBUILD() function). Do not use the ORDCOND() function if you
 wish to create or rebuild an entire index file; it is only used for
 setting particular conditions for the order.
 ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() should be used immediately following the
 ORDCOND() function.
 If the DESCENDING clause is not specified, the order is then assumed to
 be ascending.
 The EVAL clause lets you specify a code block to be evaluated as each
 record is placed in the order. The EVERY clause lets you modify how
 often is called. Instead of evaluating each record as it is
 placed in the order, evaluation only occurs as every records
 are placed in the order. This can be used, for example, to create a
 gauge that displays how far the ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() has
 progressed so far.
 The FOR clause provides the only order scoping that is permanent and
 that can be maintained across the life of the application. The string
 passed as the FOR condition is stored within the order for later use in
 maintaining the order. Though only accessing part of the database,
 orders created using this clause exist as long as the database is
 active. The FOR clause lets you create maintainable scoped orders.
 The WHILE, NEXT, REST, and RECORD clauses process data from the current
 position of the database cursor in the default or specified work area.
 If you specify these clauses, the order list remains open and the active
 order is used to organize the database while it is being created. These
 clauses let you create temporary (non-maintainable) orders. orders
 created using these clauses contain records in which is
 true(.T.) at the location of the record pointer.
 . The following example creates a conditional order based on a
 FOR clause. This index contains only records whose field TransDate
 contains a date greater than or equal to January 1, 1992:
 USE Invoice NEW
 ORDCOND(FOR (Invoice->TransDate >= CTOD
 ORDCREATE("InvDate",, "Invoice->TransDate")
 . The following example creates an order that calls a routine,
 "MyMeter," during its creation:
 USE Invoice NEW
 ORDCREATE("Invoice",, "Invoice->Customer")

Anonymous Review. Winners sponsored by EPIC Metals.
Prompt: The teachers at the Pittsburgh Environmental Charter School would like to create a prototype self-sufficient shelter to engage their students in learning about the universe through celestial observations. The prototype shelter will first be installed on their Milton Street site. After using and evaluating the prototype, the design will be refined through iteration and the actual shelters will be constructed and deployed in the Laurel Highlands. The shelter must produce all the energy that its occupants need from bio or renewable energy systems. It must protect the occupants from wind, rain and snow and allow night time observations of the sky.
Designed like a chashitsu (Japanese tearoom), the celestial observation shelter is a simple one-story space planned intentionally to be almost uncomfortably small, with little to no fenestration on each of the four walls. This provides an environment for intimacy and conversation, while directing attention towards the sky above.
This geometry is inspired by the hull of ships which represents adventure and discovery and the sextant, an instrument of maritime navigation and astronomical study, emphasizing the practical use of celestial observation as a means of way-finding and understanding our relative presence in the universe.
Complimenting this sense of curiosity with a greater understanding of its origins, a camera obscura allows for the entrance of the universe through a projection onto the floor, an opportunity to use the space as a dynamic learning environment. Bringing the wonders of the universe into the confines of a "classroom", where students can feel their presence amongst the stars.
Enhancing a sense of continuity, and constant awareness of being in a vessel. A single plane swoops from the entrance of the universe to its exit. The plane forms the space, acting as a floor system, an enclosure system and a structural system.
Loosing oneself as the universe opens up above. A series of operable windows slide open to allow for the eventual exit of the universe and accentuate the vertical relationship.
The shelter is designed as an aggregation of attach additional bays to the end in the event of an expansion. The adjustable footings produced in the sectional perspective below also allows situation in uneven terrains.

This is the fourth edition of CSA S347, Method of test for evaluation of truss plates used in lumber joints. It supersedes previous editions published in 1980, 1976, and 1999.
The major changes in this addition include the following:
a) change from basic relative density to oven-dry relative density
b) introduction of test requirements for machine stress rated lumber, machine evaluated lumber and structural composite lumber
c) introduction of additional tests for roller press embedment of truss plates
d) updating of calculations and reporting to suit changes in truss plate analysis requirements in CSA O86
The plate and teeth resistance and the teeth lateral slip resistance, determined in accordance with this Standard, provide the basis for the truss plate connection design and design values set forth in CSA O86, Engineering design in wood.
This Standard provides basic procedures based on joint ultimate load or a limiting slip for the determination of the lateral strength resistance and lateral slip resistance of truss plate teeth embedded in sawn and structural composite lumber members.
This Standard provides for the determination of the lateral strength resistance and lateral slip resistance of nails embedded in lumber members when used in nail-on truss plates. When this Standard is so applied, the word tooth is understood to be replaced by the word nail.
This Standard provides basic procedures based on truss plate ultimate strength for the determination of the tensile and shear strengths of the net section of the plates.
The capacities determined by testing methods and procedures described herein, and corrected for the variations in the ultimate tensile strength of the plate material used in the manufacture of the test truss plates, will yield values that may be adjusted for use in engineering design, such as specified in CSA O86.
In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.
Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.
Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.
Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

Another way to rank customers is by percentage of total sales. The idea is the same as ranking by count, but with an important difference. Since you need to fetch all of the data in order to compute a running percent of total summary, you don't want to use a group filter to weed out data. You need to use a format trigger on the repeating frame to compare the running total to your cutoff parameter.
To fetch the data for the percentage calculation:
In the Object Navigator, double-click the view icon next to the Data Model node.
In the Data Model view that displays, click the SQL Query tool in the tool palette then click in an open area of the Data Model view, somewhere to the right of query Q_1, to display the SQL Query Statement dialog box.

Do Penguins Mate For Life?
Do Penguins Mate For Life?
Penguins are a fascinating group of birds. Each of the eighteen species in the Spheniscidae family is flightless, and they are far more at home in the water than on the land. With the exception of the Galapagos Penguin, each occurs far south of the equator.
Most Penguins breed in relatively inaccessible areas, which makes it difficult to observe their breeding habits. So how do Penguins find partners? Do they mate for life?
The breeding strategy of each penguin species varies somewhat, but all species form partnerships that can last for more than a year. In some cases, they could mate for life, but this is certainly not always the case. In fact, partner fidelity can be as high as 89 percent in some species but as low as 15 percent in others.
All Penguins are monogamous, however, and exhibit biparental care, which means both mother and father work together to raise their one or two chicks.
Fidelity rate ranges significantly across Penguin species - a pair of Magellanic Penguins
Fidelity rate ranges significantly across Penguin species - a pair of Magellanic Penguins
The behavior of each penguin species has been developed over countless generations to maximize their breeding success. In many cases, the nest site ties a pair together because they can reunite at a fixed point and time each breeding season.
Penguins that use the same nest site tend to show high mate fidelity.
In this article, we cover the pairing and mating habits of Penguins. Their behaviors range from endearing to downright disgusting.
Do any Penguin species mate for life?
Penguins are relatively long-lived birds, and many species can live for over twenty years. Adelie Penguins and Royal Penguins are usually only ready to breed at eight years old, although Gentoo Penguins can reach sexual maturity after just two years. Their longevity makes life-long studies difficult.
Many penguin species form partnerships that last two or more consecutive years, but Penguins are not very faithful partners.
Continue reading to learn about the fidelity rates of some well-known Penguins.
Little Penguin
The Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species in the world. These Australian seabirds show high fidelity to their mate and the burrow where they make their nests. The pair typically reunites, although they may divorce, especially after an unsuccessful breeding season.
Little Penguins generally have a high fidelity rate between breeding pairs

Gentoo Penguin
Mate fidelity varies pretty dramatically among breeding pairs of the fast-swimming Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua). They will pair up with the same partner anywhere between zero and 89% of the time, although they are far more faithful to their nest site. Male Gentoo Penguins re-use the same nest site 89% to 100% of the time.
Gentoo Penguin fidelity has huge variation

Emperor Penguin
Emperors (Aptenodytes forsteri) are the least faithful of the penguin species, but they have a good reason. These massive seabirds breed in the harsh Antarctic winter, incubating their egg on their feet rather than in a nest.
They breed in huge colonies on desolate ice sheets, making it tough to find the same partner each year. Nevertheless, old flames do manage to find each other sometimes, and they are estimated to reunite about 15% of the time.
Fidelity of other notable species:
 - King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus): 29%
 - Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus): 75%
 - Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae): 80%
 - Galápagos Penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus): 89%

How do Penguins attract a mate?
Penguins use a variety of different displays to attract a mate. These include their own physical qualities, the sound of their voice, and the quality of their nest site.
Keep reading to learn more about penguin mate selection.
Color
At first glance, most Penguins look like they have no color except black and white. In fact, most species have some pretty bright colors around the head and bill that can be important for mate selection.
Male and female King Penguins select each other based on the amount of UV light reflected off their beaks and the colorful auricular patch over their ears.
Nest site
Female Penguins can judge the quality of a potential mate by the kind of nest site he has because a comfortable and sheltered nest provides a much better chance of successfully raising their chicks. Male Penguins display near their nest site, advertising themselves and their nest.

Vocalizations
Male Penguins use songs to attract potential mates. They perform a delightful display known as the ecstatic display call. The sounds they produce don't sound like music to our ears, but other Penguins seem to like them.
Penguins tend to spread their wings and point their beaks up at the sky while calling, but some birds also swing their heads from side to side or look down at their feet.
Male Penguins also use these calls to keep other males at bay, but males and females may perform this display in synchrony once they have paired up. This courtship ritual strengthens their mutual bond.
Penguins are known to have a pretty discerning ear. Researchers believe that Female Adélie Penguins can tell how much fat a male has by the quality of his voice. High body fat indicates his fitness since the birds will fast for as long as three weeks while incubating the eggs.

Courtship behavior and pair formation
Penguins do not rush their courtship, and this stage can last as long as six weeks in the case of breeding Emperor Penguins. Gentoo Penguins court each other for about a month.
During this time, the pair will display to each other and make frequent visits to stone collection sites each evening after returning from the day's fishing trip.
All Penguins nest in colonies, and finding a partner in the large and chaotic King Penguin breeding rookery presents its own unique challenges.
These colorful Penguins will move to the colony's edge when seeking a partner. Here they display to each other, moving in together when they have found a mate.
You may be wondering how these birds find each other in the crowd, especially when there's no nest site. King and Emperor Penguins identify each other by sound. Each individual can produce a unique sound using the two branches of their syrinx- the bird version of a voicebox.

Do Penguins propose with a pebble?
The male Gentoo Penguin is known to collect a stone and drop it at the feet of a potential mate. If she is suitably impressed with this practical gift, the pair may go on to build a nest out of pebbles and softer materials like moss and grass.

How many times a year do Penguins mate?
Penguins breed once a year. They will mate after the pair have reunited at the nest site, although there is some evidence that they might even copulate out at sea.
In established penguin pairs, the male is usually the first to arrive back at the nest site in the breeding season. Female Chinstrap Penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus), for example, return five days later on average.
Despite being monogamous, female Penguins may have as many as three partners, and males might also visit a second female. Some Penguins are known to mate with partners of the same sex, and others have even been seen attempting to mate with deceased birds around the colony.
Penguins are not always the faithful birds we make them out to be!

What happens when a Penguin mate dies?
Most Penguins will pair up with the same partner each year, especially if they have been successful at raising chicks in the last season. If their mate should perish and fail to return to the nest site, however, the newly single bird will look for a replacement partner.
Do Penguins mourn the loss of a mate?
We do not know for sure if Penguins mourn the loss of a mate or if they are even capable of this kind of emotion. These birds have well-developed brains, however, so science may well uncover more complex emotional responses.
In fact, the Emperor Penguin has the largest bird brain in the world, weighing in at a (relatively) impressive 1.5 ounces (44g).

Do Penguins mate with their siblings?
Penguins are known to engage in many unsavory acts, but they do not usually mate with their siblings. This behavior is relatively rare in nature because it has terrible consequences for genetic diversity. In the confines of captivity, however, it is quite possible.
Do Penguins stay together as a family?
Penguins nest in colonies, and some species form crèches where the young birds get together for warmth and safety. Emperor Penguins are only independent at up to 13 months old, which is very long by bird standards. Such a long 'family' period means these birds can only breed twice every three


Best Watering and Feeding Tips for a Caribena Versicolor
Native to the island of Martinique, the natural habitat of the Caribena Versicolor are lush green forests and banana plantations, where there is a hot and humid climate all year round. When trying to care for this pet, it can be challenging to find accurate information.
Pet owners may be confused by contradictory facts and statements, leading to them incorrectly handling their pets. Hence, before you decide you want to adopt a Caribena Versicolor, or if you already have one with you, learn more about them to find out how you should care for them.
Suitable Cage Conditions for Your Tarantula
When it comes to cage conditions and humidity requirements, it is challenging to find reliable information. Many swear that a hot and humid condition is all that this tarantula needs to survive, while others stress the need for good ventilation. So, as a new pet owner, it may be challenging for you to ascertain the right cage condition for your tarantula.
While humidity and warm temperature can help this tarantula grow faster, it is best to be careful not to keep your tarantula in overly hot or moist conditions. A well-ventilated cage is required for your tarantula to stay happy.
Just like with most tarantulas, the Caribena Versicolor also does well when kept in room temperature conditions, that is, between 60 F to mid-80 F (20-29 C). To meet the humidity requirements, you can keep a small water bowl in their cage or lightly spray the substrate to dampen it from time to time.
What Should You Feed Your Tarantula?
Small slings prefer pre-killed prey; you can use pinhead crickets, red runner nymphs, or segmented mealworms.
Juvenile and adult tarantulas can handle bigger prey and often love to subdue their prey before eating them. However, depending on the feeder you are using, ensure that it is no bigger than your tarantula.
You can use medium to large-sized mealworms and red runner nymphs, and some medium-sized cockroaches can also be used for this purpose. Some people even feed super worms to their tarantulas. However, supervise the feeding in such cases to ensure that the super worm does not burrow itself in the substrate and attack your tarantula later. Since super worms can bite, it is better to crush their head before using it as a feeder.
For slings, ensure that the feeder is not more than 2/3rds the size of their body. You can drop the feeder onto their webbing or near the opening of their burrow. Adult tarantulas will jump on their prey as soon as they sense them, so it is not an issue.
You can feed your younger tarantulas twice a week, and for adults, you can keep it to once a week or once every ten days. However, it is best to observe your tarantulas to determine their appetite and build an eating schedule.
What Are the Water Requirements of Your Tarantula?
There is a misconception that tarantulas do not need water. But, if you keep a water bowl in your pet's enclosure, you will find that they do use the water bowl occasionally.
Sometimes, it can be challenging for pet owners to find a water bowl that is small enough for an enclosure. In such cases, you can shift your tarantula to a bigger enclosure or find alternative ideas such as using clean tattoo ink pots or inverted Lego bricks as water bowls. You can also keep a live plant inside your tarantula's cage.
Spraying the side of their cage with a mist spray may also do the trick for spiderlings or smaller tarantulas. They can drink the water droplets and stay sufficiently hydrated!
Tarantulas need some special care and attention to keep them happy. However, they are not as high maintenance as other pets out there! It can be challenging to find reliable information sources for tarantulas. Hence, you should always seek advice from those who have experience in raising them.


Kyrenia Gate
The Kyrenia Gate is the arched northern entry into the city of Nicosia, through the city walls. It was built by the Venetians in 1567. The gate used to be called 'Porta Del Proveditore' named after the Venetian engineer Proveditore Francesco. Inscriptions from Venetian and Ottoman times can be seen on the walls of the gate.


The Doodlewash Bash
ArtworkZebra Pen Technical Pen in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook
Doodlewash prompts: Walk, Monster, Party, Door
Sung to the tune of Monster Mash
On a walk through the graveyard, late one night
My eyes beheld an eerie sight.
All the monsters were gathered there,
To party down and paint plein air.
They did the wash, they did the Doodlewash
October prompts, they were awesomesauce.
They did them all, it was quite the romp
When the monsters did the Doodlewash prompts.
With watercolor, a zombie clown,
He was painting with mummy brown.
Wolfman was sketching Frankenstein,
With Conte crayon in bone and sanguine.
Repeat Chorus
On vellum skin worked the graveyard ghouls,
Rubbing headstones with their graphite tools,
With oozing hands, the living dead,
Smeared face paint on Pumpkin Head.
Repeat Chorus
Engraving symbols into the floor,
And onto the mausoleum door,
Skeleton shaved into stone
Using nothing but his finger bone.
Repeat Chorus
For history buffs, in the 16th and 17th centuries,Mummy brown was made from the ground-up remains of real people mummies. Eventually, artists found out and the practice was ended. You can still get a color called Mummy brown, but we hope no mummies were harmed in the making of it.
Sanguine is the Latin word for blood, and some chalk, crayons, pastels and ink of color that resembles dried blood are commonly called by that name.
Vellum was originally made from calf or sheep skin, but legends often refer to occult books bound with human vellum skin.

API GetFrameCPUUsage
102,291pages on
this wiki
WoW API < GetFrameCPUUsage
Returns the total time used by and number of calls of a frame's event handlers.
time, count = GetFrameCPUUsage(frame[, includeChildren])
Arguments Edit
(frame[, includeChildren])
Frame - Specifies the frame.
Boolean - If false, only event handlers of the specified frame are considered. If true or omitted, the values returned will include the handlers for all of the frame's children as well.
Returns Edit
time, count
Number - The total time used by the specified event handlers, in milliseconds.
Number - The total number of times the event handlers were called.
Details Edit
The values returned are just the sum of the values returned by GetFunctionCPUUsage(handler) for all current handlers. Which means that it's not per-frame values, but per-function values. The difference is that if for example an OnUpdate handler is used by two frames A and B, and, say, B:OnUpdate() is called, both A and B get blamed for it.
It also means that if a frame's handlers change, the CPU used by the previous handlers is ignored, because only the current handlers are considered.

How To Give A Hand Massage
By Mary Smith. Updated: January 16, 2017
How To Give A Hand Massage
We are used to giving and/or receiving back massages. However, your body is more extensive than just your back and so you can also notice tension or pain in other areas. This can apply to your hands for example. In this article we explain how to give a hand massage. Read on for the steps you need to follow.
You'll need:

Steps to follow:
1
To give someone a hand massage , you need to work out a way to take your patient's hand so you're able to work comfortably. First, both of you need to be sitting comfortably in a chair.
2
In order to massage the person's left hand, you need to take hold of their hand. Take hold of their left hand in the space between their little finger and ring finger. Using your right hand, in the space between their little finger and ring finger, grasp the patient's hand in between your index finger and thumb. Thus leaving the patient's hand with their palm facing up.

3
Conversely, when taking the patient's right hand, the physiotherapist or massage therapist uses the space between the little finger and ring finger of their left hand and grasps between the patient's little finger and ring finger on their right hand. Grasp the space between the little finger and ring finger on the other person's right hand with your right thumb and forefinger.
4
Once you have achieved the position we've previously explained, apply cream onto the palm of the hand that you're going to massage. To apply the cream, just give a gentle rub with increasing pressure. You need to apply cream from their wrist to the tips of their fingers.
5
Next, press and make small circles with your thumbs across the palm of the person receiving the massage.
6
Then hold the patient's hand with one hand and with the other hand, knead each of the patient's fingers.

7
Next, support the patient's hand with one hand and with the other hand apply continuous pressure from the patient's wrist to the tip of each finger. Apply pressure by using your thumbs, index and middle fingers. Use your thumb in the patient's palm and use your index and middle fingers on the back of their hand. At the end of each pressure, stretch each finger and hold for about 4 seconds.
8
To end the massage create some friction over the entire surface of their hands, going increasingly gentler.

How to Choose the Right Mil Gage?
Time:2019/06/25 11:01:00 Browse:1173
The mil gage uses the magnetic induction and eddy current principles to detect the thickness of the coating or plating on the metal work non-destructively.
To purchase a mil gage, you need to know the following points:
 1. Confirm the substrate. The substrate is a magnetically conductive metal (steel, iron), the coating is a non-magnetic material then choose an iron-based mil gage. The substrate is a non-magnetic metal (copper, aluminum), the coating is a non-metallic material then choose a non-ferrous mil gage. If both of the above conditions are available, we should choose the dual-use mil gage and the instrument automatically recognizes the substrate.
 2. The instrument needs to pay attention to the measurement range. The test range of different instruments is different.
 3. The measurement accuracy of the instrument requires the user to judge whether the accuracy of the instrument is consistent according to the requirements of his own production process.
The mil gage independently developed by Linshang Technology is a dual-purpose mil gage for iron and aluminum. It does not need to be switched. And the instrument automatically recognizes the substrate, making operation easier. The measurement range of different instruments is different, meeting a variety of measurement needs, up to 5mm.
22119071502.jpg
At the same time, the precision of the three mil gages independently developed by Linshang Technology is consistent with the precision of the international first-line Q-nix. It is the most accurate mil gage in India. The external connection of the LS221 and LS223 mil gages is suitable for the narrow test environment, the probe can be inserted into the test point test and the host is convenient to read outside.
In summary, Lin Shang Technology's mil gage should be the most cost-effective mil gage on the market, which is the best choice for the customers.

WCS's New York Aquarium Opens New 1,500-Square-Foot Exhibit on World Oceans Day
A-MAZE-ING Water opens to the public on June 8, 2012 Brooklyn, N.Y. – May 14, 2012 –
Interactive exhibit will immerse visitors in the world of water conservation
Maze includes watershed environments, rivers, lakes, oceans and environmental threats
Weekend programming includes art exhibits, hands-on activities and much more
A-MAZE-ING Water will feature elements of the New York Seascape, the aquarium's conservation program that works to preserve local NY waters
Exhibit will be open through September 9th
The Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium will open a new summer exhibit, A-MAZE-ING Water, as part of the celebration of World Oceans Day on June 8, 2012. The event and exhibit will run through September 9.
The program will feature Water's Extreme Journey, where visitors will travel through a 1,500-square-foot maze, learning about the environmental threats that plague our waterways along their way to an ocean-themed destination.
Water's Extreme Journey interactive maze will be located under the pavilion tent at the aquarium. Children will be engaged with a range of interactive experiences as they ride a zipline through pollutants, put together water cycle puzzles, spin a wildlife wheel of facts and learn the importance of water. Educational messaging helps visitors to become caring, informed stewards of our local and global waterways and the wildlife that depends on them. Guests will also learn about the aquarium's New York Seascape, a conservation program designed to restore healthy populations of local marine species—many of them threatened—and to protect New York marine waters.
Water's Extreme Journey exhibit will be open daily. A-MAZE-ING Water will also feature special hands-on activities that will take place on weekends only and include:
- Take Action Mailbox Station – Visitors can act immediately on their concerns based upon what they just experienced in the maze and appeal to local legislators to support clean water initiatives. This area gives them the opportunity to voice their concerns by writing a letter, drawing a picture, or making a collage. Letters and art will be delivered to local government officials.
- Giant Community Mosaic – Using imagination, visitors can create more than 600 mosaic tiles that combine to make a large-scale work of art. The Wyland-designed mosaic reinforces the power of community coming together for a common goal.
- Model of Local Watershed – A model of a typical watershed will give visitors a chance to see how pollutants turn into run-off that affects drinking water and impacts the health of our oceans.
- New York Seascape Interactive – Visitors will explore the New York Bight and discover the remarkable diversity of marine life that lives in local waters (330 species of marine fish, 26 species of sharks and four species of sea turtles) through an interactive game.
- Water-themed Art Exhibition: The aquarium's Ocean View Room will be transformed into The Conservation Gallery and feature multi-media artists who will display their works from a variety of mediums. All works of art will celebrate the importance, vitality, and beauty of water.
WCS's expansive Global Marine Program conducts conservation efforts in 20 countries and all four oceans to help save threatened and endangered species. Most recently, WCS launched the New York Seascape, a local conservation program part of WCS's A SEA CHANGE initiative, a 10-year plan to revitalize the aquarium and ignite the rebirth of Coney Island. An additional component to A SEA CHANGE includes construction of the Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit, scheduled to break ground later this year.

The uptake of EGME and the urinary excretion of its major metabolite (MAA) was studied in seven male volunteers during experimental exposure to EGME at rest. The exposure concentration was set at 16 mg/m3, the present Threshold Limit Value. A high retention (0.76) remained unchanged during the 4-h exposure period. In combination with a constant pulmonary ventilation and a fixed exposure concentration this resulted in an uptake rate that showed no significant variation in time. The total amount of EGME inhaled corresponded to a dose of only 0.25 mg/kg. During and up to 120 h after the start of the exposure, MAA was detected in the urine. The elimination half-life was on average 77.1 h. The total amount of MAA excreted was calculated by extrapolation and averaged 85.5% of the inhaled EGME. The pharmacokinetic data are compared with those obtained from other human exposure studies to ethylene glycol ethers (EGEE and EGBE).

Can a single word create miracles?
Switchwords are straightforward and easy to use. Switchwords are simply words that "switch" on your subconscious mind, sort of like switching on a light. They are, in many ways, one-word affirmations. But unlike the conventional affirmations that don't work, these one-word miracles do.
Why don't traditional affirmations work?
A subconscious block is why an affirmation like "I am prosperous and I have plenty of money" does not work. The subconscious mind will throw that affirmation out because it is bumping up against an ingrained pattern you have that runs counter to the affirmation. This ingrained pattern needs to be bypassed. Often, the more you say affirmations like "I am prosperous and I have plenty of money", the more your subconscious mind will resist and cause you to fall further into financial problems. It is happening all the time. Notice that after the law of attraction took center stage in 2006 through the secret, individual and global prosperity had declined sharply.
Why are Switchwords different?
Switchwords bypass the resistance of your subconscious mind. They are switches. They don't give the subconscious mind time to process whether something you want is achievable or not. It just gets you in the right state of mind. They effectively bypass the old pattern instead of fighting it like the other methods do.
Switchword Miracles will teach you everything you need to know about how to use these amazing single-word affirmations.


Artificial Intelligence in Human Resources Management: Challenges and a Path Forward
We consider the gap between the promise and reality of artificial intelligence in human resource management and suggest how progress might be made. We identify four challenges in using data science techniques for HR tasks: 1) complexity of HR phenomena, 2) constraints imposed by small data sets, 3) accountability questions associated with fairness and other ethical and legal constraints, and 4) possible adverse employee reactions to management decisions via data-based algorithms. We propose practical responses to these challenges and converge on three overlapping principles - causal reasoning, randomization and experiments, and employee contribution—that could be both economically efficient and socially appropriate for using data science in the management of employees.

Control of a filter cavity with coherent control sidebands
preprintposted on 2023-11-30, 19:39 authored by Naoki Aritomi, Matteo Leonardi, Eleonora Capocasa, Yuhang Zhao, Raffaele Flaminio
For broadband quantum noise reduction of gravitational-wave detectors, frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum states realized using a filter cavity is a mature technique and will be implemented in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo from the fourth observation run. To obtain the benefit of frequency-dependent squeezing, detuning and alignment of the filter cavity with respect to squeezed vacuum states must be controlled accurately. To this purpose, we suggest a new length and alignment control scheme, using coherent control sidebands which are already used to control the squeezing angle. Since both squeezed vacuum states and coherent control sidebands have the same mode matching conditions and almost the same frequency, detuning and alignment of the filter cavity can be controlled accurately with this scheme. In this paper, we show the principle of this scheme and its application to a gravitational-wave detector.

How to choose laser protective glasses?
May 09,2023 | TOPTEK
Laser protective glasses are special glasses that can prevent or reduce laser damage to human eyes. Laser safety glasses are efficient and safe goggles for a variety of laser equipment. There are many types of laser safety glasses. The common ones are divided into wavelengths. : The wavelengths of laser protective glasses are 355nm, 532nm, 808nm, 1064nm, 10600nm, etc. According to different colors, laser protective glasses have green, yellow, blue, red and other colors, but when we choose laser protective glasses, we should choose protective glasses according to the laser wavelength, not according to the color of the glasses. For example, if you choose laser protective glasses with a wavelength of 532nm, the wavelength of the laser should be around the wavelength of 532nm. Protective glasses with a protective wavelength of 400nm-600nm or wider bands can be selected. Of course, the damage threshold of the lens to the laser can also be considered.
When choosing laser protective glasses, we need to refer to the following points:
1. According to laser safety standards, determine whether to wear laser protective glasses. However, if it is not safe to look directly at the laser and its diffuse reflection, laser safety glasses must be used.
2. Laser characteristics: laser output wavelength, power density, common laser wavelengths are 1064nm, 10600nm, 355nm, 808nm, etc. Laser protective glasses can generally provide protection in a certain band, and different wavelength combinations should be equipped with different laser protective glasses.
3. Protection level: Laser protective glasses are roughly divided into two categories: imported and domestic. According to certification, it can be divided into products with CE certification and without certification, and according to protection level, it can be divided into OD1+ to OD7+ levels. For most applications, we recommend using products with CE certification, and we recommend choosing products with the highest degree of protection OD7+
4. Optical density (OD): The larger the OD value, the stronger the protective ability of the laser protective goggles
5. Visible light transmittance (VLT): Laser protective glasses have a good protective effect on laser light, but at the same time, they can also block part of visible light. VLT values below 20%. Laser safety glasses should be used in a well-lit environment.
6. Maximum irradiance Hmax (/m2) or maximum irradiance Emax (W/m).
7. Frame: whether to wear myopia glasses, facial contour.
8. Inhomogeneity, asymmetry, incident light angle effect, etc. of the protective lens
9. Anti-laser radiation ability
10. Visible light transmittance
11. Structure and shape
The unit price of laser protective glasses generally ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan depending on the function, quality, and material. It is very important to choose a suitable pair of laser protective glasses, and there are many aspects to consider, so you must pay attention when purchasing. gorgeous.

St. Croix has historically been, and remains today, a melting pot of religions. Known as 'The Land of Churches', the island is home to approximately 150 churches that serve its 50,000 residents. Some of St. Croix's historic churches date back to the 18th century, and the variety of these churches are a true representation of the social and religious diversity that has been found here on the island since the Danish colonial times.
The history of the churches of St. Croix begins back in the 1730s when the Moravians came to St. Croix to convert the enslaved Africans of the island from the traditional African spiritual practices to the Moravian faith, and were successful. The success of the Moravians encouraged missionaries of other faiths to follow suit, especially after the Royal Danish granted permission to practice religion freely in 1754. As a result, St. Croix is home to thirteen historic churches, many of which remain open to the public – some still offering regularly scheduled religious services.
As with many Caribbean islands, Christianity is the predominant religion on St. Croix, although there are several other religious and spiritual practices to be found here including Rastafarian, Islam, and Judaism. However, Lutherans, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Moravians, Methodists, and Dutch Reformed were some of the earliest denominations of Christianity to establish historic houses of worship on St. Croix. In fact, Lord God of Sabaoth Lutheran Church and the Friedensthal Moravian Church are the oldest congregations of their kind in the United States, and Holy Cross Catholic Church is the oldest Catholic Church in the Virgin Islands.
The beauty of the island's historic churches can be found not only in their history, but also in their architecture. The churches of St. Croix often blend the traditional architectural styles used in churches across the world with local Caribbean details, the combination of which speaks to the island's distinctive creole heritage. This combination of architectural styles is no surprise when you consider that many of the churches were constructed by local African-Caribbean craftsman. While many of these historic structures have been renovated or reconstructed, some of the churches are still built from the original blocks of locally sourced limestone and/or Danish brick, and some feature local mahogany carved alters or other interior details.
If you would like to visit some of St. Croix's historic churches, included below is a list those included on the St. Croix Heritage Trail map of Historic Churches, along with brief descriptions of each. Unfortunately, the Historic Churches map is no longer in print, so included at the end of each description you will find the general location of each church. To learn more about the trail, and obtain a digital copy of the St. Croix Heritage Trail map, please read our St. Croix Heritage Trail blog.
St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church:
Built in 1848, to meet the rising expectations of Emancipation, the church expanded shortly after construction to accommodate a growing congregation. Constructed of local cut stone, the west entry facade has elements of both Gothic Revival (lancet doors and windows) and Neo-Classical (paired entry columns). The curved gable ends appear to be Spanish Baroque influenced. The interior has been altered considerably. The church, its bell tower and adjacent convent with loggias are replete with local details. The cemetery at St. Patrick's Church in Frederiksted contains a monument to fourteen sailors from the W. W. W. Monongahela, who perished in the tidal wave of 1867. (Located on the corner of Hospital and Market Streets)
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church:
This simple church was built in 1792, to replace an earlier wood structure built in 1766. Originally a hip roofed, classically detailed structure, the changes over the years have been consistent with the original design. The tower base predates the cupola and may have been a part of the 1792 structure. The raking gables and finials were early 19th century modifications. The pulpit was centered over the altar and approached from the rear. Now, it has been moved to the northeast corner. Despite changes to the interior, the scale and ambiance of the original church remain. The Frederiksted town cemetery is located across the street from Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. (Located at the corner of Hospital and Hill Streets)
St. Paul's Anglican Church:
This hybrid church combines an 1812 West Indian hipped roof structure, featuring classical and local details, with a Neo-Gothic, three tiered tower built in 1848. The main entrances were via north and south porches with several Neo-Classical details of pilasters, cornice and parapets. The entrance function was shared by the west tower after the 1840's. The tower of local limestone and Danish brick was built to exacting standards of Anglican orthodoxy. It was completely restored after a recent devastating fire. Noteworthy are the local mahogany carved alters and the English pulpit and prayer tablets. (Located on the corner of Prince and King Cross Streets)
The Steeple Building:
Originally built as the Lutheran Church of Lord God of Sabaoth, 1750-53. The Baroque tower with its four-tiered octagonal cupola, reminiscent of Copenhagen's belfries, was added forty years later. In 1838, after the congregation moved to the donated Dutch Reformed Church on King Street, the building was used by the government as a military base and storehouse and later as a school, community hall and hospital. It is now administered by the National Park Service as a museum. (Located on the corner of Hospital and Company Streets)
Lord God of Sabaoth Lutheran Church:
The main body of the present church was built around 1740 as a Dutch Reformed Church, and is St. Croix's oldest church. After 1831, the building was taken over by the Lutheran congregation as a replacement for their original church (the Steeple Building) and it was transferred to the Lutherans in 1834. The most distinctive feature is the Neo-Classical tower, built in 1834, and designed by Albert Lovmand, the official architect for the Danish colonies at the time. (Located on the corner of King and Queen Cross Streets)
Holy Cross Catholic Church:
The oldest Catholic Church in the Virgin Islands, it was originally built in 1755, but was extensively altered in the 1850's. It was built in the shape of a cross to represent St. Croix which means 'holy cross' in French. Architecturally striking, it combines the molded facades of San Juan's 17th century churches, complete with engaged entry columns and elaborate cornice moldings, along with Neo-Gothic elements favored in the 19th century. Though still impressive, the interior has been considerably altered since the 1970's, with the removal of the stenciled lime plaster, and window and door changes. (Located on the corner of Prince and Company Streets)
St. John's Anglican Church:
Built in 1849-58, replacing an earlier structure constructed in 1772. Then, in 1866, a fire destroyed much of the original interior. This design and rebuilding reflects the fully realized fidelity to the Gothic Revival style prescribed for Anglican churches throughout the world. Its masonry details, three-tiered tower and elaborate hammer-beam roof framing are noteworthy. The Christiansted town cemetery, established in 1749, is adjacent to St. John's Anglican Church and includes a Danish section with many prominent names. A Jewish cemetery, dating from the early 19th century, is also nearby. (Located on Route 75/King Street)
Friedensthal 'Valley of Peace' Moravian Church and Manse:
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this mission church was founded by German Moravian brethren in the 1750s who named the area Estate Friedensthal, which translates to 'valley of peace' in German. It originally served as a Moravian mission, a church and a plantation, and ministered to enslaved Africans. The mission served for a time as a training center for parishioners in trades, reading and writing. The parish house (or manse) was built in the 1830s as both a school and dwelling. The present church, built from 1852-54, is unaltered and features a masonry and wood pedimented entry porch. (Located on Route 75/King Street near Bassin Triangle)
MID ISLAND & WEST END
Friedensfeld 'Field of Peace' Midlands Moravian Church:
Dedicated in 1852, this lovely wood church replaced the original structure built from _PHONE_. The church retains its original exterior and interior appearances. Three flanking roof gables, structurally tied together, enclose the nave and side aisles. An open-work barrel vault functions as a ceiling, as well as a curved structural element for the black-painted center trusses, barely visible beyond. The handsome original lancet windows serve both the main floor and the balconies. (Located on Route 72/Midland Road between Route 75 and Route 73)
Kingshill Lutheran Church:
This church was built in 1912, near the end of the Danish era, to serve the residents and soldiers of the nearby Kingshill station. This structure, simple yet sophisticated, has especially handsome details and proportions. Flanking Ionic columns, east and west, frame the entry and apse. A pediment and round-based belfry and cupola mark the entry. Though the windows and interior details were changed in the 1970's, the church still retains much of its original flavor and appearance. (Located on Route 70/Centerline Road in Kingshill)
St. Ann's Catholic Church:
Originally built as a family chapel in 1815, by Christopher McEvoy Jr., a prominent planter, St. Ann's was deeded to the Catholic Church in 1897, and formally dedicated to St. Ann in 1900. Cruciform in plan, the splayed door and window openings are tied together on the exterior by a fillet molding that engages window keystones. Above is a prominent cornice molding upon which sits pe

Schools across County Durham have registered to take charge of recycling used household batteries.
The Durham County Council scheme promotes battery recycling to prevent them from being sent to landfill.
The council's waste management team work with Valpak, who collect the batteries free of charge.
This year's scheme hopes to emulate the success of last year's scheme which saw 81 schools register and a massive 1,135.5kg of batteries collected and recycled instead of being sent to landfill.
Vicky Bell, waste strategy and policy officer, said: "Taking part in a recycling project such as this helps children learn about the importance of recycling from an early age.
"It's fantastic that so many schools already take part and hopefully more and more will join in and help us stop so many batteries going to landfill."
This year 93 schools have registered to take part. The winner in the nursery, infant , junior and primary school category with most batteries collected for 2011/2012 was Blackhall Primary School in East Durham who collected 102kg of batteries, almost nine per cent of the total.
As a prize reward the school was awarded an ipad and a certificate in recognition of their excellent effort.
Most schools which took part last year have registered to take part again this year with an increase of a further 30 schools.
There are three collections a year in March, June and December and participating schools will receive cardboard boxes to store the batteries.
To register or take part, schools can contact Durham County Council's waste management team by contacting 03000 261 000 or emailing: [email protected]
