Why spend time etching circuit boards and applying solder masks when all you really need is a rollerball pen and some paper? That's what University of Illinois professors [Jennifer Lewis and Jennifer Bernhard] were asking when they set off to research the possibility of putting conductive ink into a standard rollerball pen.
The product of their research is a silver nanoparticle-based ink that remains liquid while inside a pen, but dries on contact once it is applied to a porous surface such as paper. Once dry, the ink can be used to conduct electricity just like a copper trace on a circuit board, making on the fly circuit building a breeze.
Previous ink-based circuit construction was typically done using inkjet printers or airbrushing, so removing the extra hardware from the process is a huge step forward. The team even has some news for those people that think the writable ink won't hold up in the long run. The ink is surprisingly quite resilient to physical manipulation, and they found that it took folding the paper substrate several thousand times before their ink pathways started to fail.
While we know this is no substitute for a nicely etched board, it would be pretty cool to prototype a simple circuit just by drawing out the connections on a piece of paper – we can't wait to see this come to market.

After reading this chapter, you should understand the following:
- The liability of an agent who signs commercial paper
- What contract liability is imposed when a person signs commercial paper
- What warranty liability is imposed upon a transferor
- What happens if there is payment or acceptance by mistake
- How parties are discharged from liability on commercial paper
In Chapter 22 "Nature and Form of Commercial Paper", Chapter 23 "Negotiation of Commercial Paper", and Chapter 24 "Holder in Due Course and Defenses", we focused on the methods and consequences of negotiating commercial paper when all the proper steps are followed. For example, a maker gives a negotiable note to a payee, who properly negotiates the paper to a third-party holder in due course. As a result, this third party is entitled to collect from the maker, unless the latter has a real defense.
In this chapter, we begin by examining a question especially important to management: personal liability for signing company notes and checks. Then we look at the two general types of liability—contract and warranty—introduced in Chapter 23 "Negotiation of Commercial Paper". We conclude the chapter by reviewing the ways in which parties are discharged from liability.

Eco-Friendly Project with Cay-Shred begins at Beacon Farms
In December 2020, Beacon Farms received the first load of shredded paper from Cay-Shred Mobile Data Destruction. The load delivered weighed roughly 6,000 lbs - that is 6,000 lbs. less waste dumped at the George Town landfill!
Beacon farms will incorporate this shredded paper with our other compost inputs, such as green waste from landscapers, brown waste in the form of wood chips and create a nutrient rich compost product.
Cay-Shred will be delivering similarly sized load each week. This situation benefits everyone involved as we are reducing the volume of waste going to the dump by recycling a waste product and turning it into a valuable growing medium that will in turn make Beacon Farms' soil more productive.

African pink jacaranda (Jesse Durko, courtesy )
This monthly feature spotlights a plant well-suited for South Florida gardens.
Stereospermum kunthianum, the African pink jacaranda, produces lots of pink trumpet-shaped blooms from February to April. The bright blooms cover the tree particularly heavily after extended drought periods. They are carried in large pendulous panicles and appear before the new foliage emerges. Individual blooms are 1 1/4 to 2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches long. The lower corolla lip is streaked with red markings, standing out against the overall pink coloration.
The foliage is pinnate with an average of four pairs of leaflets and terminal leaflet. The overall leaf averages 10 inches in length with leaflets about 3 1/4 inches long and 1 1/4 inches wide. Leaves are green above and yellow-green below with prominent veins.
The pink jacaranda varies considerably in size depending on where it grows. Trees growing in moist locations can attain 40 feet in height, whereas trees in very dry rocky areas may only reach 10-15 feet. The dark gray bark sometimes peels like a sycamore, which is ornamental. Sandy well-drained soil and sun are preferred for best growth.

I'm kind of confused - you seem to be asking both about loading data from XML as well as how to implement a generalized casting system.
Anyway, as for the implementation details, if I remember correctly. warcraft 3 used to have standardised names for different things. Spell animations were given names such as Spell1, Spell2, etc. Attack animations had names such as Attack1, AttackCrit and AttackSpin. The game engine would pick an animation out of a "list" of animations that you allowed. So for example, an attack might have two animations enabled by it - Attack1 and Attack2. Whereas a specialized spell might only have one animation attached, such as SpellSummon. you only needed to supply the animation names. The animations were build into the models (the animations could be baked into the models using 3dSMax. I'm not sure about how it was done, as I've never ventured into the modelling side of things, but I'm pretty sure there was a plugin provided by blizzard for animation.)
As for particle effects and particle systems, the were known as "buffs". Buffs had no gameplay impact at all. They were used to attached particles and trails to "attachment points" on the model. these attachment points were also baked into the model. common attachment points included (hand,left), (hand,right), and chest. There were also other, more specialzed attachment points that only worked on a few models such as (mount). Anyway, these buffs could have a duration associated with them, and the particles expired after the duration.
When the particles were created, they played their "created" animation. and then they looped an intermediate animation. on being destroyed, they played their "destroyed" animation. Like I said, particles were controlled indirectly through buffs.
As for storage, blizzard has it's own format (.MPQ I think), with it's custom method for storing objects. I don't remember the details, but the wikipedia page has some decent information.
Hope this helps

top, Fg2 a toy having a body of conical, circular, or oval shape, often hollow, with a point or peg on which it turns or is made to whirl. If given a knock, a spinning top will go around in a circle at a slant; if spun with a slant at the start, it will quickly stand upright until halted by friction. Its physical properties are similar to those of the gyroscope. Some tops, as the common peg top, are spun by means of a cord. Whipping tops are kept spinning by whips with a lash. Other tops are spun by a twist of the hand or the action of a spring or a plunger. Some hollow tops, such as the thunder tops of Japan, have holes cut in them to produce a hum or roar.
Tops were known to the ancient Greeks, and the Romans constructed tops out of boxwood or terra-cotta. The top was known in Europe as early as the 14th century, and in Shakespeare's day a large village top was frequently kept for use in cold weather as a warming-up exercise.
Tops also have long been known in Asia, where they were made out of such natural materials as conch shells, gourds, nuts, bamboo, and stone. In Japan, top spinning has for centuries been a pastime of adults as well as of children.
Humming tops were made from small gourds by the Maori of New Zealand. Because of their loud wailing sound, they were used in ceremonial mourning of the dead or to avenge a defeated clan. During Napoleon's time, a Chinese game known for centuries as Ko-en-gen was introduced in Europe as diablo and became the rage. A spool ("devil") was whipped up by a cord, tossed up by the player, and caught again on the cord. The hexagonal teetotum (known to the ancient Greeks and Romans), marked distinctively on each on its six sides, has at times been used in place of dice.
Tops are still popular in a variety of forms—e.g., a top of plastic and metal that plays choral reeds and changes colours while spinning.

How Car Crushers Work
 Auto | Auto Basics
Operating a Car Crusher
Operating a Car Crusher
The basic function of car crushers hasn't changed much since they were invented in the 1970s. Improvements in car crusher design focus on two areas: ease of use, and set-up and crushing speed. Older crushers needed more than one operator, and setting up and tearing down a portable crusher could take a lot of time. New crushers have automatic push-button set-up and can be easily run by a single operator. Faster crushers mean more cars crushed per minute, and the more efficient a crushing operation is, the more money the crusher's owner can make.
Once a car reaches the junkyard, it goes through several steps before finally being shredded to scrap metal.
 1. The car is stripped of all working parts. For example, a car may have a cracked engine block, but the transmission is fine. Salvage crews pull out the working parts for resale. A huge number of parts can be resold - body panels, carburetors, wheels and tires, suspension parts and entire engines can be refurbished and sold to do-it-yourselfers.
 2. Hazardous materials are removed. The battery is pulled out and chemicals in the air-conditioning system are drained. The gas tank is removed and drained (and resold if it's in good condition).
 3. The car is left in the junkyard until it's time to be crushed. It could be there for a few hours or even a few months, depending on how big the backlog of cars that need to be crushed is.
 4. The operator drives the crusher to the junkyard and sets it up (if it's a portable crusher).
 5. Cars are loaded onto the crushing bed with a forklift, an excavator with a huge claw on the end or a magnet. Some crushers have a crane with a lifting claw or magnet built into the crusher itself.
 6. The operator activates the hydraulics, crushing the cars as flat as possible. The crushed cars will take up less than half of the space they originally required, and in some cases as little as ten percent. How flat they get depends on the crusher and what kinds of cars are being crushed. Baler crushers can reduce a car to a brick of crushed metal that's about three and a half feet high, two feet wide and three to five feet long [Source: Al-jon].
 7. There may be an additional storage period before the cars are shipped to a shredder.
 8. The cars are loaded onto trucks or a train and shipped to a recycler where they will be shredded down to chunks of scrap metal. Often, the stripping and salvaging steps above are skipped - whole cars, tires and all, are fed into the crusher, and then shipped to the shredder where the shredded chunks themselves are sorted.
Granutech's Big MAC portable crusher needs about 45 seconds per car, and can crush four or five cars at a time. Overbuilt's Model 10 crusher is built with a higher clearance on the bed, allowing trucks and buses to be crushed, or six cars at one time. A special hydraulic system that allows rapid transfer of hydraulic fluid increases overall crushing speed [Source: American Recycler].

In addition to its clear impact on physical health, COVID-19 may also have adverse consequences for brain health. Therefore, researchers at Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute (RRI) are investigating the possible effects of COVID-19 and infection prevention measures on dementia risk in older adults.
"The pandemic may increase the risk of developing dementia in two ways. First, through the virus' hallmark respiratory symptoms, there may be a decrease in oxygen going to the brain, which could have negative consequences and cause damage," says Dr. Jennifer Ryan, senior scientist at the RRI. "Emerging research from around the world is showing that being hospitalized and on a respirator has a negative impact on the brain."
Adds Dr. Ryan, "Second, the infection prevention measure of physical distancing may result in social isolation for some individuals. This could lead to a depressive episode, and we know that depression increases the risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia later on."
The effects of the pandemic on brain health cannot be ignored. Someone who was doing cognitively well before the pandemic hit might end up in the hospital with COVID-19 or experience a depressive episode due to social isolation, which could put them on the trajectory to dementia.
In this study, the researchers are making bi-weekly phone calls to healthy older adults living in the community and asking them about their mental health, their exercise and socialization levels, and their exposure to COVID-19. They are also testing these older adults' cognitive functions, like memory. The study is part of a larger research project looking at the factors that may predict which older adults ultimately develop MCI or dementia.
"This study will increase our understanding of the risks posed to older adults' brain health during the pandemic," says Dr. Rosanna Olsen, scientist at the RRI. "The results should also help identify ways in which this group can be supported during these unprecedented times, for instance through virtual social interactions, exercise programs or other COVID-safe activities."
The study examining the factors that predict who will develop dementia is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). With additional funding for the COVID-19 portion of their research, the scientists could facilitate more calls to more participants within a shorter window of time, and share their results with the scientific community and general population more quickly.
Baycrest is a global leader in geriatric residential living, healthcare, research, innovation and education, with a special focus on brain health and aging. Baycrest is home to a robust research and innovation network, including one of the world's top research institutes in cognitive neuroscience, the Rotman Research Institute; the scientific headquarters of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging, Canada's largest national dementia research initiative; and the Baycrest-powered Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation, a solution accelerator focused on driving innovation in the aging and brain health sector. Fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, Baycrest provides excellent care for older adults combined with an extensive clinical training program for the next generation of healthcare professionals. Through these initiatives, Baycrest has remained at the forefront of the fight to defeat dementia as our organization works to create a world where every older adult enjoys a life of purpose, inspiration and fulfilment. Founded in 1918 as the Toronto Jewish Old Folks Home, Baycrest continues to embrace the long-standing tradition of all great Jewish healthcare institutions to improve the well-being of people in their local communities and around the globe.

Artists Jennifer Caine and Rachel Hellmann debuted their collaborative piece "Continuum" on Monday, Feb. 21 in the University of Indianapolis Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery. "Continuum" is on display from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays until March 18.
According to Caine, "Continuum" is the fourth collaborative piece between Hellmann and herself and was made specifically for the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery. It is a three-dimensional sculpture piece made of open wooden cube frames covered in black paper.
The gallery's main purpose, in addition to bringing art to campus, is to serve as a teaching gallery. That element is important to Chair and Associate Professor of Art and Design Jim Viewegh.
"We choose artists and exhibitions that somehow teach our students about the art world, or different artists in that," Viewegh said.
According to Viewegh, "Continuum" can teach students how to work collaboratively.
"They had to communicate with each other. They had to compromise with each other. They had to understand each other's aesthetics," he said.
"Continuum" was inspired by the reactions of younger visitors to a previous collaborative piece by Caine and Hellmann displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Mass., Hellman said.
"We were particularly intrigued by the younger, school-age kids that came through the exhibit," she said. "It made us want to create a piece that was particularly playful and encouraging of an inquisitive response of wonder and play."
The artists used common materials — in addition to their knowledge of color, light, and surface—to transform the gallery into an immersive, imaginative environment. Freshman pre-art therapy and psychology major Reagan Moorman seized the opportunity for imagination and immersion.
"From a conceptual standpoint, it ['Continuum'] is really cool, because the blocks are supposed to symbolize building blocks for children, how they stack and make things bigger," Moorman said. "I like to imagine a small child playing with them."
Work on "Continuum" began in November of 2015, when Caine flew to Indianapolis from her home in New Hampshire. After spending a day in the gallery brainstorming and talking through ideas, Caine and Hellmann decided to create a piece that took advantage of the gallery's space.
"I love the scale of the piece, enabled by the very high ceilings of the gallery," she said. "I also love the opportunity it provided us to approach it like a three-dimensional painting in space and to find painterly moments of surprise."
The next step was to decide on the subject-matter of the piece.
"We conceived the idea of stacking cubes, and both agreed on the color black — a rich color in its own right, though often considered a 'non-color,' and an opportunity to play off the warm wood tones and light in the gallery," Caine said.
Caine and Hellmann worked on elements of "Continuum" individually in their own studios and then returned to UIndy the week before the exhibition opened to assemble it. During those days, UIndy students were able to interact with Caine and Hellman and help them finish the piece.
"I found it particularly engaging during the last couple of work days that we had in the gallery. It was challenging to think of how the color and mark-making related from multiple views of the piece," Hellmann said.
Both Hellmann and Caine hope that those who view "Continuum" find the experience as rewarding as it was to make it.
"I hope people enjoy experiencing the piece and will find walking through the gallery an immersive, playful experience that will spark their natural curiosity and sense of wonder," Caine said.
Those who want to see more art can visit the Student Gallery in Schwitzer 011. The next exhibition in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery is the annual Student Art Exhibition, which will open on April 4.

Adolphe CrémieuxArticle Free Pass
Adolphe Crémieux, original name Isaäc Moïse (born April 30, 1796, Nîmes, Fr.—died Feb. 10, 1880, Paris), French political figure and Jewish leader active in the Revolution of 1848 and the Paris Commune (1871).
After a distinguished legal career in Nîmes, he was appointed advocate of the Court of Appeals in Paris (1830), where he gained further renown for his legal skill and oratory.
In 1842 Crémieux was elected to the Chamber of Deputies from the Indre-et-Loire département and quickly emerged as a leading member of the radical left. He played a prominent role in the revolutionary movements of 1848 and served as minister of justice in the provisional government of 1848–49. He voted for the presidential candidacy of Louis-Napoléon, but, when he withdrew his support, he was imprisoned. After his release, he returned to the bar and left-wing politics. He returned to the Chamber in 1869, representing a Parisian district, and, when the Second Empire collapsed, he joined the Government of National Defense (1870–71) as minister of justice. Subsequently, he served as a deputy from Algiers (1871–75) and then senator (1875–80).
Crémieux was an important leader of the French Jewish community. He lent his prestige and political influence to numerous campaigns for the normalization of Jewish life in France and Algeria, backing the enfranchisement of North African Jews. He was a founder of the influential Universal Israelite Alliance and was its president from 1863 to 1880.

As a group of industrialists, educationists, innovators and entrepreneurs, Rhino Machines and its associates have been connected across diverse industry and service segments. The deeper we go into the learning, the stronger becomes the belief that our economy lies in the villages. With nearly 67% of our population having their roots in the rural belt, and with the rising aspirations of the rural ecosystem to become part of the growth story of our country, it is imperative that we need to step back and start looking at the relevance of Budget 2019.
Why Capacity Building for Rural Economy is so relevant and how?
The context and backdrop: Rhino Machines and its associates/founders have been working across the length and breadth of India, and have expanded across different sectors. A Top 6 Innovator in UNIDO-MSME GCIP (Global Cleantech Innovation Program) in 2015 and 2016, a mentor in GCIP 2017 and Global Action on Poverty GAP 2019, a promoter of upcycling venture Meemansa, Rhino Machines and their associates have gained rich insights in understanding the workforce challenges in rural India and handling migration. This is in addition to Rhino Machines' commitment to bring world class vocational education and training through ACE Foundation and successfully adapting Swiss dual-track job-oriented training.
Based on the multi-sector experience through diverse ventures, we believe in the following two key concepts for capacity building in rural sector:
- Self-Sustained economy – A village produces agricultural products, dairy products and also does the value addition, creates job and entrepreneurship opportunities within the rural ecosystem, the economy thrives and the trade deficit reduces. The budget focus on livelihood business incubators and developing 75,000 skilled entrepreneurs in the agro-rural industries is a step towards the same
- Circular economy (consumption) – This involves promoting the reuse and recycling of wastes and finding solutions for 100% usage and reuse of the resources such as agricultural waste, water, cattle dung, plastic, cloth and so on
With a majority of the consumers lying in the rural belt, with several migrating to metros and cities in search of livelihood and opportunities, the relevance of building capacity in the villages using modern communication and virtual technologies to bridge the gap becomes so much relevant and the need of the hour.
Circular economy, Swarajya (economic self-reliance) – Mahatma Gandhi's vision and Rural Economy and Financial Inclusion seem to be the fulcrum of Budget 2019. This can be executed by linking education with entrepreneurship, promoting innovation in rural ecosystem, enabling sustainable livelihoods, and creating waste from wealth.
How can this be done through rural entrepreneurship – an example
Vocational Education + Behavior as a combination, will be one of the key elements to build Rural Entrepreneurship with Circular Economy . Investing in both will lead to building sustainable solutions. For the past few years, there has been a great focus on Skilling and Vocational Education, and leveraging the same with competency building could evolve into building capacity at the rural level.
An example from the garment Industry
When conversing with few of the units in garment manufacturing which employ labour from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand – areas where there are no possibilities of livelihood, we proposed to set up the facility in the place from where they belong.
One of them, with deep roots there and with a political background, commented "this will not happen, as the people will have high egos when they are home and will not do stitching work". The skills are available, but the behavior (culture) is missing. The cultural ecosystem of the region is unable to accept that men can stitch women's clothes? The same people who will sweat it out in other parts of India or overseas, would not put in the same effort working in their backyard. I could relate this to almost all the states, be it advanced or backward.
Meemansa has taken up this task and engaged with NGOs/SHGs in Tonk and Udaipur (Rajasthan), Khajuraho (MP), Mumbai low income areas and Wardha (Maharashtra), Old Delhi low income groups, setting up proof of concept of how livelihood starting with the production of simple bags which serve the circular economy and SDGs on plastic replacement, cloth 100% usage and livelihood with one project.
Training centers, through their partners, assure continuous work by getting orders from retail stores and product marketing, and bringing income to the rural belt as well as low income groups.
As this gets set up, the long term idea of taking the main stream production of garments to the rural belt is not so far! After engaging designers of repute such as Priyanka Bapna, the next step will be to promote entrepreneurship within the rural ecosystem, who will take up not only production but also selling the products in the rural belt, fulfilling the aspirations of getting garments which are out of reach for them.
Let us look at how Rhino and its associates have worked with the garments industry. In order to make it sustainable, two distinct needs are also being stitched together, the latest Swiss Style Education at ACE Foundation to nurture young talent with the latest technology and skills (making them ready for Industry 4.0), and at the same time make building decentralized manufacturing, distribution through building a value chain through the Empretec ecosystem, where senior entrepreneurs invest in the youth and startups, encouraging leveraging of their skill sets, innovations and ideas, plugging them into the global ecosystems.
We are not only working on the core manufacturing areas, but also integrating the Cyber-Physical technologies – Samarth Udyog 4.0 to the grass roots in small packages, ensuring that the present modern education and the conventional manufacturing find convergence, thus bridging the gap between the present and future skill sets with the everyday needs, making modern vocational multi-skilled education aspirational and sustainable.
We are also working on bringing the concept of circular economy, finding solutions to use the resources to 100% e.g. in case of agricultural industry, the wastage from food waste is being converted into gas and bio fertilizer (gradually replacing chemical fertilizers), sand from mining is being reused and waste converted to bricks or flower pots (replacing cement and good soil), etc. These again bring the possibilities of shifting the production back to the rural belt with innovative and sustainability oriented ventures – all aligned to SDGs as defined by the UN.
Budget 2019 – focus on promotion of capacity building: possible outcomes and gains
The present budget's focus on promoting capacity building growth in the rural ecosystem, will have the following possible outcomes and gains:
- Reduction in migration and need to invest in heavy infrastructure in the cities/urban
- Reduction in "trade deficit" of villages, as migration reduces, and spending in the village allows supporting services to prosper
- Reduction in resource consumptions – lesser transport, lesser fuel consumption
- Increase in resource efficiency from an abysmal 22% aggregate today as innovative technologies and awareness increases
- Improved employability and working conditions, better health and prosperity
- Reduction in income disparity as income at rural belt increases
- Financial inclusion and empowerment of women workforce who did not have opportunities in the villages
- Growth and promotion of traditional art, as they get access to market with technology
- Rural ecosystem connecting to Transnational and Regional Value chains, bringing sustainable livelihood in their own backyard.
The challenges to the system will be many, as this shift calls for a huge paradigm shift, the mindset and cultural change, the acceptance of women being part of the economy in the rural belt, political and social challenges – but the modern India and the new India is now understanding both the opportunities and challenges, and the youth are getting ready to join this change!
Can this be the new India we all look forward to? Can this bring back the old glory of India when it contributed to 60% of the world GDP while today it is only 1%? Its time to think and take it forward.

The Effects of Water Levels on Safe Boating
By Al Wade
Kuttawa, Ky – Those bathtub rings on the shorelines of our lakes testify to changing lake levels. Alan Wade is a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and next he explains how varying water levels affect boating.
Kentucky Lake's and Lake Barkley's water levels change, as all of us who boat on either lake know. These changes in water levels can be tricky, especially if you are boating out of the main channels. Charts will help, but you need to know what the water level is on that day to really understand your chart.
Reservoir levels start going back up in mid-March. Most reservoirs fill to their highest level by June 1. Reservoirs are drawn to their lowest level by January 1 to provide water-storage capacity in order to reduce flood damage from rain run-off which is most likely to happen in winter and early spring. When it rains in the summer or fall, the water is more likely to soak into the ground, with some run-off. But, when it rains in the colder months, most of the water will run-off into the lake which can change the lake level. We all remember when Nashville received a historical level of rain, which raised our lake level dramatically with dire consequences for many homes, especially in Livingston County.
These high levels of water affect boaters. Debris floats out into the lakes. Sometimes there are logs and trees which may be partially submerged and pose hidden dangers for boaters.
Low water levels also affect boaters. If you are a regular boater in Lake Barkley, you surely are aware of many protruding trees or rocks. What was passable last week may be dangerous this week, if the water level is lower.
How do you know what the water level is? Go to _URL_ for up to date information. Select the reservoir for which you need information, either Lake Barkley or Kentucky Lake or any other. You will find the Reservoir Elevation, which is the water behind the dam, and the Tailwater Elevation, which is the water below the dam.
Be informed. This information may better help you to understand lake conditions and travel on-water more safely.
As always, avoid excessive speed, avoid alcohol, and always wear a life jacket!

Moral Decisions and Testosterone: When the Ends Justify the Means
Behavioral endocrinology research suggests that testosterone may play a role in moral decision making. Studies involving human and nonhuman animals indicate that high basal testosterone is associated with decreased aversion to risk and an increased threshold for conflict, fear, stress, and threat. We tested the role of testosterone in moral decision making. We predicted and found that individuals high in testosterone are more likely to make utilitarian decisions—specifically when doing so involves acts of aggression and social cost.

- Each pixel represents a cell
- Each cell has one of 16 colors (numbered 1 to 16), which are assigned randomly at the start.
- The left and right edge and the top and bottom edge of the "playing field" are connected.
- At each turn, every cell that has at least one neighbour cell with a color that is one higher changes its color to that "next higher" color. Additionally color 1 is considered "next higher" to color 16.
As you can see, the random coloring of the cells quickly turns into little same-color pools, but then spiral-like structures emerge that soon fill the entire playing field, even though the rules do not mention any spiral-like structures.

Alternative Learning System
From WikiPilipinas: The Hip 'n Free Philippine Encyclopedia
The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a free education program implemented by the Department of Education (DepEd) under the Bureau of Alternative Learning System which benefits those who cannot afford formal schooling and follows whatever is their available schedule. The program provides a viable alternative to the existing formal education instruction, encompassing both the non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.
ALS aims to open more educational opportunities for Filipino citizens of different interests, capabilities of demographic characteristics, socioeconomic origins and status as well as addressing the needs of marginalized groups.
The program cuts the time needed to finish high school, hence, significantly cuts the expenses as well. Aside from giving hope to the less fortunate, it also provides opportunities to Out-of-School Youths (OSY) and adults elementary and secondary school drop-outs; industry-based workers; housewives; maids; factory workers; drivers; members of cultural minorities; indigenous people and the disabled/physically challenged.
Training for instructional managers and coordinators are also provided by the program and supports the learners accreditation and equivalency (A&E) review.
 How does it work
In ALS, students have to attend 10 months of school or 800 hours in the classroom. Then their performance are then assessed.
Since ALS is a module-based learning system, students come in on a set time and choose a module to read. A quiz is given after each module to test their learning. Instead of teachers, facilitators are always present to answer any questions and sometimes lecturers would discuss a certain module. After several months, the students will take the Accreditation and Equivalency Test (AET). If they pass the test, they will be given a high school diploma and can now enroll in college.
 ALS A&E Test
The ALS Accreditation and Equivalency ALS A&E test aims to offer learners two learning achievements at two learning levels-- Elementary and Secondary.
It is a paper and pencil-based test, using multiple choice and composition writing. The test items are based on the learning competencies of the five learning strands of the ALS Curriculum.
A first year high school dropout, boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao took and passed the (AET) under the ALS program. He was presented a high school diploma, making eligible to pursue college. He was then named as the DepEd's Ambassador for the ALS and People's Champ for Education. According to Education Secretary, Jesli Lapus, "Manny is an excellent model for all out-of-school children, youth and adults who are determined to learn and are able to gain functional literacy skills outside of formal schooling."

Coordinate Graphing Pictures Printable
Introduction for Coordinate Graphing Pictures Printable:
The coordinate graphing is called the Cartesian coordinates plane. The graph consists of a pair of perpendicular lines called coordinate axes. The vertical axis is the y axis and the horizontal axis is the x axis. The point of intersection of these two axes is called the origin of coordinate graphing pictures printable.
It is the zero point of the both axes. Furthermore, point to the right of the origin on the x axis and above the origin on the y axis represent positive real numbers. Points to the left of the origin on the x axis or below the origin on the y axis represent negative real numbers.
coordinate graphing pictures printable
There are four regions cut off by the coordinate graphing axes are, in counter clocking direction form the top right, called the first, second, third and fourth quadrant, respectively. The first quadrant contains all points with two positive coordinates.
Coordinate Graphing of X and Y Axis – Coordinate Graphing Pictures Printable:
In the graph show, two points are identified by the ordered pair, (x,y) of numbers, The x coordinate graphing pictures is the first number and the y coordinates graphing pictures is the second number.
Coordinates graphing pictures:
To plot a point on the graph when given the coordinate graphing pictures, draw perpendicular lines from the number line coordinates to the point where the two lines intersect.
coordinate graphing pictures printable
To find the coordinate graphing pictures of a given point on the graph, draw perpendicular lines from the point to the coordinates of the graph number comma is used to separate the two.
In this case, point A has the coordinate graphing (4,2) and the coordinates graphing of point B are (-3,-5).
coordinate graphing pictures printable
For any two point A and b with coordinate graphing pictures(X,Y) and (xn,Yn), respectively, the distance between A and B is represented by
AB = √((XA - XB)2 + (YA - YB)2)
This is commonly known as the distance formula for the Pythagorean theorem.
Plotting Points of Coordinate Graphing – Coordinate Graphing Pictures Printable
Plot the point (-3,2) on the graph coordinate below:
coordinate graphing pictures printable
Step 1 coordinates graphing is to find the point 3 along the x axis. Draw a dashed vertical line through that point. See the below diagram
Step 2 coordinate graphing is to find the point 2 along the y axis. Draw a dashed horizontal line through the point.
Step 3 coordinate graphing is to plot the point where the two dashed lines intersect with a solid circle. This is point (-3,2). See the below figures.
This is how the coordinate graphing principle printable will display.

Thomas Scheemakers
Thomas Scheemakers (1740 – 15 July 1808) was a sculptor operating in Britain in the late 18th century and a member of the important sculpting family of Scheemakers. Several of his works are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum.[1]
He was the only son of Peter Scheemakers (and grandson of Pieter Scheemaeckers), an eminent sculptor, and Barbara La Fosse. He appears to have been born slightly before their wedding.
From 1763 until 1780 he largely exhibited under his father's name. Whilst talented, he was certainly eclipsed by his father, but it is reasonable to expect that they worked together on several of his father's larger pieces up until his death (1781). He was a competent sculptor but lacked his father's flair for design, often leaving the design to be done by others. After his father returned to Belgium (c.1779) he continued his workshop, on Vine Street, London.
He inherited his father's huge fortune in 1782 but appears to have largely squandered this. He did very little sculpture after his father's death and ceased altogether in 1792. It appears that he went bankrupt in 1805, as there is a record of all of his effects being sold.[2]
He died in London in 1808 and was buried in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church. The grave is lost (and was possibly unmarked even from the beginning) and he is not listed on the Burdett-Coutts Memorial to the famous graves lost, which stands in the churchyard.
His wife, Barbara (b.1747) died in 1810 and was probably buried with him.

You can assign this core expression to your menu entry in the application model. It can be used to restrict the visibility of model elements.
Enabling the core expression for a menu entry
Assigning it to the menu entry
This approach is similar to the definition of core expressions in Eclipse 3.x.
The values available for Eclipse 3.x are contained in the ISources interface and documented in the Eclipse core expressions wiki. Eclipse 4 does not always support the same variables, but the wiki documentation might still be helpful.
22.3. Evaluate your own values in core expressions
You can also place values in the IEclipseContext of your application and use these for your visible-when evaluation.
The following code demonstrates an example handler class which places a value for the myactivePartId key in the context (you will learn more about modifying the IEclipseContext later).
@Execute
public void execute(IEclipseContext context) {
 // put an example value in the context
 context.set("myactivePartId",
 "com.example.e4.rcp.todo.part.todooverview");
}
The following shows an example core expression which evaluates to true if an myactivePartId key with the value com.example.e4.rcp.ui.parts.todooverview is found in the context.
<extension
 point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
 <definition
 id="com.example.e4.rcp.todo.todooverviewselected">
 <with
 variable="myactivePartId">
 <equals
 value="com.example.e4.rcp.todo.part.todooverview">
 </equals>
 </with>
 </definition>
</extension>
This core expression can get assigned to a menu entry and control the visibility.
Assigning the visible-when core expression to the menu entry
23. Key bindings
23.1. Using key bindings in your application
It is also possible to define key bindings (shortcuts) for your Eclipse application. This requires two steps, first you need to enter values for the Binding Context node of your application model.
Afterwards you need to enter the key bindings for the relevant binding context in the BindingTable node of your application model. A binding table is always assigned to a specific binding context. A binding context can have several binding tables assigned to it.
Binding contexts are defined hierarchically, so that key bindings in a child override the matching key binding in the parent.
Even though they sound similar a binding context is used for keybindings while the Eclipse context (IEclipseContext) is used as source for dependency injection.
23.2. JFace default values for binding contexts
The binding context is identified via its ID. They can get assigned to a window or a part in the application model. This defines which keyboard shortcuts are valid for the window and which are valid for the part.
Eclipse JFace uses predefined IDs to identify binding contexts. These IDs are based on the org.eclipse.jface.contexts.IContextIds class. JFace distinguishes between shortcuts for dialogs, windows or both.
The following table gives an overview of the supported IDs and their validity.
Table 12. Default BindingContext values
Context ID Description
org.eclipse.ui.contexts.dialogAndWindow
Key bindings valid for dialogs and windows
org.eclipse.ui.contexts.dialog
Key bindings valid for dialogs
org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window
Key bindings valid for windows
As an example, Ctrl+C (Copy) would be defined in dialogAndWindows as it is valid everywhere, but F5 (Refresh) might only be defined for a Window and not for a Dialog.
23.3. Define Shortcuts
The BindingTable node in the application model allows you to create key bindings based on a binding context. For this you create a new BindingTable model element and define a reference to the binding context via its ID.
In your key binding entry you specify the key sequence and the command associated with this shortcut.
How to add the BindingContext Entries
The control keys are different for each platform, e.g., on the Mac vs. a Linux system. You can use Ctrl, but this would be hardcoded. It is better to use the M1 - M4 meta keys.
Table 13. Key mapping
Control Key Mapping for Windows and Linux Mapping for Mac
M1
Ctrl
Command
M2
Shift
Shift
M3
Alt
Alt
M4
Undefined
Ctrl
These values are defined in the SWTKeyLookup class.
23.4. Activate bindings
If there are several valid key bindings defined, the ContextSet class is responsible for activating one of them by default. ContextSet uses the binding context hierarchy to determine the lookup order. A binding context is more specific depending on how many ancestors are between it and a root binding context (the number of levels it has). The most specific binding context is considered first, the root one is considered last.
You can also use the EContextService service which allows you to explicitly activate and deactivate a binding context via the activateContext() and deactivateContext() methods.
23.5. Key bindings for a part
You can assign a specific binding context to be active while a part is active.
BindingContent defined specific for a part
Key bindings assigned to a part are valid in addition to the key bindings provided by the currently active binding context, i.e. your global key bindings are still active in addition with the key bindings of the part.

24. Exercise: Adding menus
In this exercise you create commands and handlers for your application. Afterwards you will create menu entries using these commands.
24.1. Create command model elements
Open the Application.e4xmi file of your com.vogella.tasks.ui plug-in and select the Commands entry. This selection is highlighted in the following screenshot.
Adding commands to your application
Via the Add… button you can create new commands. The name and the ID are the important fields. Create the following commands.
Table 14. Commands
ID Name
org.eclipse.ui.file.saveAll
Save
org.eclipse.ui.file.exit
Exit
com.vogella.tasks.ui.command.new
New
com.vogella.tasks.ui.command.remove
Remove
com.vogella.tasks.ui.command.test
For testing
24.2. Creating the handler classes
Create the com.vogella.tasks.ui.handlers package for your handler classes.
All handler classes implement an execute() method annotated with @Execute.
package com.vogella.tasks.ui.handlers;
import org.eclipse.e4.core.di.annotations.Execute;
public class SaveAllHandler {
 @Execute
 public void execute() {
 System.out.println((this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " called"));
 }
}
Using this template for all classes, implement the following classes.
 - SaveAllHandler
 - ExitHandler
 - NewTodoHandler
 - RemoveTodoHandler
 - TestHandler
24.3. Creating handler model elements
Select the application-scoped Handlers entry in your application model and create the handlers from the following table for your commands. For the definition of handlers the ID, command and class are the relevant information.
Use the com.vogella.tasks.ui.handler prefix for all IDs of the handlers.
Table 15. Handlers
Handler ID Command Class
.saveall
Save
SaveAllHandler
.exit
Exit
ExitHandler
.new
New Todo
NewTodoHandler
.remove
Remove Todo
RemoveTodoHandler
.test
For testing
TestHandler
The application model editor shows both the name and the ID of the command. The class URI follows the bundleclass:// schema, the table only defines the class name to make the table more readable. For example, for the handler with the com.vogella.tasks.ui.handler.saveall id uses the following entry to point to his handler class.
bundleclass://com.vogella.tasks.ui/com.vogella.tasks.ui.handlers.SaveAllHandler
Defining a handler in Eclipse 4
24.4. Adding a menu
In your Application.e4xmi file select your TrimmedWindow entry in the model and flag the Main Menu attribute.
menu04
Assign the org.eclipse.ui.main.menu ID to your main menu.
Ensure that this ID of the main menu is correct. You use it later to contribute another menu entry via another plug-in.
Add two menus, one with the name "File" and the other one with the name "Edit" in the Label attribute.
Also set the org.eclipse.ui.file.menu ID for the File menu. Use com.vogella.tasks.ui.menu.edit as ID for the Edit menu.
Creating a menu
Add a Handled MenuItem model element to the File menu. This item should point to the Save command via the Command attribute.
Adding a menu item to the menu
Add a Separator after the Save menu item and after that add an entry for the Exit command.
Add all other commands to the Edit menu


to make a decision based on the combination. The information processing techniques can include but are not limited to simple combining rules or math, neural networks, expert systems incorporating fuzzy or standard logic, or other artificial intelligence techniques. The additional measures can also include measurement of velocity or acceleration of chest compression during chest compressions according to the techniques taught by U.S. application Ser. No. 10/704,366, Method and Apparatus for Enhancement of Chest Compressions During Chest Compressions, filed on Nov. 6, 2003.
The information processing techniques include simple combining rules or math, neural networks, expert systems incorporating fuzzy or standard logic, or other artificial intelligence techniques. These techniques make a decision based on the combination of measures about the physiological state of the heart and suitable therapy. The different measures are individual indications that have varying degrees of uncertainty about the physiological state of the heart and suitable therapy. In some examples, the information processing technique is trained automatically using software techniques known to those skilled in this art and a database of ECG rhythms that include outcome data. These examples include neural networks. In other examples, the information processing technique is generated manually based on observations of ECG patterns and outcomes. These examples include simple combining rules or math, and expert systems utilizing fuzzy or standard logic. In the example of expert systems utilizing standard logic, a programmer manually generates logical rules without uncertainty, the rules specifying preconditions such as "if measure A recommends defibrillation" and "if measure B recommends defibrillation", and if these preconditions are met, the AED 10 automatically defibrillates the patient. In the example of expert systems utilizing fuzzy logic, the rules are more "fuzzy" and the states to be combined incorporate some degree of uncertainty based on human language. For instance, the fuzzy logic rules can incorporate such input as "measure A detects a strong need for defibrillation" versus "measure A detects a weak need for defibrillation". The fuzzy logic framework combines the different measures and outputs results such as "strong need for defibrillation" or "weak need for defibrillation".
The method of making the decision about the physiological state is to choose from a group of possible states, each of which corresponds to a predetermined value range of the proposed measure. The possible states can include but are not limited to normal sinus rhythm, VF, shockable (unstable) VT, stable VT, supraventricular rhythm, and pulseless electrical activity.
One possible sub-method for the quantification method is the variance of the energy distributed in a selected frequency range, or variance sub-method. Two examples of energy-distribution patterns are shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. The frequency spectrum plots of FIGS. 3A and 3B are calculated using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) of a signal over time. Referring to FIG. 3A, the energy Y1(f) of a frequency spectrum 50 is concentrated within a narrow frequency band and represents a pattern found in an arrhythmic state such as VF. Referring to FIG. 3B, the energy Y2(f) of a frequency spectrum 52 is distributed over a wide frequency range and represents a pattern found in a non-dangerous heart rhythm or normal sinus rhythm. The variance sub-method quantifies the features of the two frequency spectra 50, 52 and thus the variance sub-method can differentiate between an arrhythmic state and normal sinus rhythm.
One example of the variance sub-method calculates the variance of the energy from a reference frequency (Fref) of the spectrum. Possible candidates of the reference frequency include but are not limited to the mean frequency, the median frequency, the center frequency, or the peak frequency of the spectrum.
In this example, the variance sub-method computes the weighted distance of each frequency component from the reference frequency of the spectrum and thus quantifies the energy-distribution pattern. An example of this measure, the energy-frequency variance (EFV) can be calculated with the following mathematical equation:
EFV = ( f - F ref ) 2 × Y ( f ) f Y ( f ) f
However, the variance sub-method is not limited to this mathematical equation. Measures that quantify the weighted or un-weighted distance of the frequency components from a reference frequency of the frequency spectrum can be used for this measure.
Referring to FIG. 3A, energy of the spectrum 50 is concentrated within a narrow frequency range and thus the spectrum has a relatively small EFV value. Referring to FIG. 3B, energy of the spectrum 52 is distributed over a relatively wider frequency range and the spectrum has a relatively larger EFV value. Thus, the EFV value can be used to distinguish between a normal sinus rhythm and an arrhythmic sinus rhythm (e.g., VF).
Referring to FIG. 4, a spectrum 100 of a piece of an ECG signal is a function of time. Part 102 of the signal shows a VF rhythm during chest compressions. Part 104 of the signal shows a VF rhythm without chest compressions. The VF is terminated by an electrical shock 106, which is followed by a period of normal sinus rhythm (NSR). During this NSR period, part 108 has no chest compressions while part 110 has chest compressions. Chest compression artifacts that are characterized by strong low-frequency (below 3 Hz) components can be observed in the first 15 seconds (part 102) and the last 10 seconds (part 110) of this time-frequency plot 100. During the time periods 102 and 104 that are associated with VF (i.e. before the electrical shock 106), the energy distribution Y(f) above 4 Hz is clearly concentrated in a small frequency range, with or without the presence of the chest compression artifact. During the time periods 108 and 110 of NSR (i.e. after the electrical shock 106), the energy distribution Y(f) above 4 Hz has a pattern that the energy is distributed over a wide frequency range, with or without the presence of the chest compression artifact.
Referring to FIG. 5, an EFV score 152 is calculated from the signal 100 (shown in FIG. 4). A threshold 154 can be used to distinguish an arrhythmic rhythm from a normal sinus rhythm. Thus, during the first 50 seconds (parts 102 and 104 having VF rhythm) of the signal 100, the EFV score 152 is below the threshold 154.
Referring to FIG. 6, a variance sub-method 200 is implemented in the software and/or hardware of the AED 10. The ECG data acquired by the front-end analog to digital converter 10 of the AED 10 is processed in a segment-by-segment manner. The number of segments to be processed before a decision is made is predetermined (e.g., 9 segments).
The length of a segment is preferably 2 seconds and each segment preferably has a 1-second overlap with both the segment before and after itself, for the desired frequency and time-domain resolution.
The segment-counter is set (202) to be zero when the processing starts and the first segment of the signal is acquired (204). A high-pass filter with a desired cutoff frequency (preferably but not limited to be 0.5 Hz) is then applied (206) to remove the baseline drift. The frequency-domain representation of the filtered signal is acquired via a fast fourier transform (FFT) (208). The spectral shape is quantified (210) using a preferred method. In an example, the EFV score is calculated based on this frequency-domain representation and the frequency range for the EFV calculation is selected such that the low-frequency part where the chest compression artifact dominates is excluded.
The segment counter is increased (212) by one after the quantification of the spectral shape. If (214) all of the predetermined number of segments have been processed, the quantification results are processed (216) to get a final score (including but not limited to the mean value of the EFV scores), otherwise the next segment of ECG signal is processed. In some implementations, the final score is an average of the scores from the segments.
An estimate of the physiological state of the heart can be made based on the final EFV score. If (218) the final score is below a predetermined threshold, an arrhythmic rhythm is estimated (220). Using the variance sub-method, the AED 10 compares a threshold to the final EFV score to determine if the victim is in an arrhythmic state. Otherwise the processed signal is estimated to be normal. In one example, a preset threshold of 6 is used. In other examples, other preset thresholds can be used.
An arrhythmic sinus rhythm can be detected using the variance sub-method. These arrhythmic sinus rhythms can be different types of rhythms with different appropriate therapies. It may be difficult to distinguish between arrhythmic rhythms that are shockable rhythms and unshockable rhythms using only the variance sub-method. For example, VTs that are shockable (rates exceeding 120-150 beats per minute [BPM]) may not be distinguishable from non-shockable VTs (<120 BPM) solely with the measure from the variance sub-method. Thus, the quantification method preferably enhances the variance sub-method with at least one other spectral measurement in determining the appropriate therapy

A collaborative work among historians, literary specialists, and architects, this collection is directed at filling the gap in our knowledge about minority neighborhoods in the southern Mediterranean.
A series of portraits examines the minority quarters of six Mediterranean cities: Fez, Marrakesh, Trani, Tangier, Palermo, and Istanbul. Each chapter documents the architectural reminders of minority presence: the houses, churches, synagogues, shrines, legations, and other public spaces that have been abandoned or converted to other uses. Authors also examine the everyday experiences that shaped physical space, such as family life, the economy, interactions with the rest of the city, relations with state authorities, and ties with the hinterland, the region, and the wider Mediterranean world. Finally, the book considers how minority space has been exploited and refashioned as a "place of memory" in which uncomfortable visions of the past have been revised and made suitable for current use.

Prepaid Meter Concepts
- Prepayment is not just the easiest and most convenient means for the user to pay for electricity, but it is also a very effective method for energy management.
- Insert card to use，insert card to get power，remove card to cut off power is the basic concept for which a prepaid system works which can either be based on the power consumed or time elapsed.
- The prepaid cards can be reused by reloading them with a desktop credit dispensing unit.
- A prepayment system can be used not just in rental units but also in certain public places as well.
Power is not for the building but for the people occupying the building.
- In order to prevent wasted energy and encourage energy saving, a user pays system is the ideal solution as it is not only fair but is also a very effective energy saving measure.
- Works just like a phone card, the user brings a preloaded card, inserting the card shows the remaining credits, only the actual amount consumed is charged to the card; this method is well suited for places that mscan be rented out such as classrooms, piano rooms, ball courts at night, auditoriums, activity centers and electric car recharging parking spots.
- Subsidies can also be given to allow free use for up a certain amount, when the subsidy is exceeded, a warning is given and actual charging of the card begins; this serves as a means to encourage energy saving.
Ball Courts at Night
- The rent is not the only thing that a landlord cares about, the electricity bill is also of great concern.
- With a prepaid card system, the electricity bill is no longer a headache of the landlord as it simplifies collection and eliminates disputes; the tenant also benefits by having immediate feedback and manage their use accordingly. A prepaid system is transparent and fair to both parties.
- Retail stalls, apartments, offices, dormitories, these are all places well suited to a prepayment system. Pay only for as much as is used.
Flat Rate, Inclined Block, Time Tariff
There are two types based on the resource consumed:
There are two types: split-type and combined.
Water Meter Option
One prepaid card reader services both an electricity and a water meter.
There are two types types of credit dispensers, a desktop type and a kiosk type.
Once the prepaid credit on a card is used up, the card can be reused simply by topping (or reloading) it up from a credit dispensing unit. The desktop credit dispenser has an separate printer option available. The desktop credit dispenser unit can not only dispense credit but can also store the data for each transaction which can be later retrieved and used for accounting or auditing purposes.
Each prepaid meter can be networked to a central host for real time monitoring and control.
- A central host can be implemented to collect data and manage the meters.
- The tariff rate on the meters can be changed remotely from the central host.
- A demand response system can be added to help in avoiding penalty from exceeding the contracted demand by using the meters as load shedding devices.

SKF polymer products and components
SKF is very well known as a leading bearing manufacturer worldwide, with high competence in steel-based bearing products and polymer sealing devices. However, and in parallel, many different polymer products and components have been developed by SKF over the years. This article gives a first overview of SKF's competences in that field.
Polymer components for rolling bearings
SKF polymer cages excel in a number of characteristics, such as low weight, low noise level and good sliding properties coupled with low friction and minimal wear, high corrosion resistance and excellent emergency running properties, resulting in long service life. The possibility of designing complex cage geometries in combination with fast and high-volume one-step injection moulding manufacturing processes is an additional benefit for using polymer grades for rolling bearing cages.
For high-temperature applications and/or aggressive media requirements, SKF mainly selects the chemical-resistant fibre-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer for cage production (fig. 1). PEEK cages are often used in applications such as screw compressors with ammonia as refrigerant or in sour gas applications, high-speed machine spindles, concrete vibrators, process pumps lubricated with hydrocarbons or liquefied gases or fire-safe hydraulic fluids, liquid-cooled car alternators, silent-running elevator gearboxes and many Formula 1 car-racing applications, including engine, gearbox, drivetrain and suspension linkages. Due to their strong performance in harsh environments, PEEK cage segments are also used for large SKF Nautilus bearings in wind energy applications (fig. 2).
SKF polymer cages for standard applications are mainly made from semi-crystalline polyamide (PA) material, reinforced with glass fibres to increase the mechanical strength and stiffness of the polymer matrix. These polyamide cages are used for standard applications in many different bearing types such as deep groove and angular contact ball bearings, cylindrical roller, needle roller and tapered roller bearings and also CARB toroidal roller bearings.
In railway applications, cages for SKF tapered roller bearing units (TBU) are made from super-tough polyamide to improve their shock-load resistance. In addition, to avoid fretting corrosion from separation of the TBU inner ring side face and axle backing ring due to axle bending, a polymer spacer with a special stiff and high creeping- and compression-resistant fibre-reinforced polyamide is used (fig. 3).
Full complement cylindrical roller bearings by definition have no cage. They have very high load-carrying capacity, but roller-to-roller contact can lead to slip, smearing and wear. A cost-effective solution to avoid this is to insert special SKF polymer spacers between the rollers (fig. 4). The results are reduced slip, higher speed limits and longer service life.
New SKF LBC D-series linear ball bearings have been developed to facilitate mounting and to obtain higher load ratings and extended life. The optimized polymer cage design contains a reduced number of components and has larger raceway slides, an optimized ball transmission zone and a larger grease reservoir (fig. 5). In combination, these properties lead to exceptionally high running smoothness with low friction and reduced noise levels. The new LBC D-series are particularly suitable for sensitive applications, e.g., medical engineering.
SKF polymer ball bearings are corrosion- and chemical-resistant, lightweight and quiet-running solutions with good damping properties (figs. 6a and 6b). Polypropylene (PP) or polyoxy-methylene (POM) are the standard materials used for the bearing rings, but other polymers are also possible on request. Balls can be made from polymer, stainless steel, glass or other materials. Cages are made from polyamide or polypropylene. Polymer ball bearings are self-lubricating with a low coefficient of friction and can run dry without additional lubricant, preferential in applications where lubricants cannot be used, e.g., for hygienic reasons. The high specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio) is also a valuable property of polymer bearings, especially in applications where weight is an important design consideration. Polymer ball bearings are typically used in applications where resistance to moisture or chemicals is essential and steel cannot be used or can be used only with certain restrictions.
Special SKF bearing units are used in a number of specific applications. SKF bearings can be overmoulded with polymers and combined with high-density and wear-resistant SKF metal powder gears in a one-step injection moulding process to create gear units, e.g., for twine tensioner units in hay press machines (fig. 7). Other SKF bearings are overmoulded with glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene (PP-GF) to create support hubs for top-loading washing machines (fig. 8). Cast polyamide is used to produce corrosion-resistant bearing housings (fig. 9).
Plain bearing polymer parts
Polymer compounds and composite materials play a key role in many SKF plain bearings. They contain polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a self-lubricating additive in a well-defined concentration and distribution, which results in low friction and wear behaviour of the composite sliding material.
SKF spherical plain bearings containing fibre-reinforced polymer material consisting of polyamide/PTFE/fibre sliding panels are either directly injection moulded or glued onto the inner surface of the steel bearing outer ring and slide against the steel inner ring (fig. 10). Especially when it comes to vibrations or medium shock loads, the excellent damping behaviour of these relatively thick compound panels pays off. In applications where dirt or moisture cannot be avoided, a certain embedding capability for small particles into the polymer matrix provides additional arguments for the use of the SKF fibre-reinforced polymer material.
SKF TX spherical plain bearings are fitted with a fabric liner sliding material that uses woven fabric of PTFE and reinforcement fibres embedded in a thermosetting three-dimensional chemical linked matrix resin (fig. 11). The TX fabric liner has a high stiffness and offers the lowest steady friction level throughout the entire service life. Furthermore, it offers excellent wear resistance and the highest load-carrying capability. SKF TX spherical plain bearings must not be lubricated and are maintenance-free.
SKF filament wound bushings contain PTFE and reinforcement fibres as sliding layer with glass-fibre backing embedded in a cured thermosetting resin matrix (fig. 12). These bushings have an excellent tribology behaviour even under harsh operating conditions. They are insensitive to edge pressure and misalignment, have a good ability to accommodate shock loads and have very good frictional properties, which opens up a wide field of possible maintenance-free applications.
SKF PTFE polyamide bushings (fig. 13) provide good heat-conducting characteristics due to the small wall thickness, enabling high sliding velocities at medium pressures. They have an adequate load-carrying capacity and a good wear performance and are very cost-effective.
Composite bushings, washers and strips are made from a steel backing with a porous bronze interlayer and a polyoxymethylene (POM) or PTFE+MoS2 compound top layer (fig. 14).
Polymer parts for the automotive market
SKF automotive polymer parts often combine some outstanding polymer properties such as low weight, good damping and corrosion resistance, together with the high strength and stiffness of steel.
A typical example are bearings that are mounted and overmoulded with high-temperature-resistant polymers. This is done in a one-step process by injection moulding into sheet metal housings to produce lightweight and stiff bearing units, e.g., for centrifuges to clean hot and oily blow-by gases blown from crank housings (fig. 15).
SKF power transmission polymer products such as high-performance fibre-reinforced polyurethane belts can be installed in many different applications; SKF bearings are overmoulded with polymers to produce lightweight and wear-resistant pulleys, e.g., for engine drive applications (fig. 16).
Thrust washers made from polyamide that incorporate small grease pockets to reduce friction and wear are used for universal joint bearings in truck drive shafts (fig. 17).
SKF also offers robust MacPherson Suspension Bearing Units (MSBU) with a polymer housing, integrated metallic spring seat for low deformation and optimized high sealing performance. SKF MSBU can withstand severe operating conditions and contribute to extending the operating life of the suspension (fig. 18).
Steering applications such as vibration absorber rings made from soft thermoplastic elastomers mounted onto bearing outer rings (fig. 19) or housings for steering units made from polyamide (fig. 20) are further examples of useful polymer parts in the field of SKF automotive applications.
Aerospace polymer parts
At SKF Aerospace, special polymeric composite materials based on fibre-reinforced thermosetting resins are used to produce low-weight and high-strength composite rods for wing boxes, floor beam struts and flight control rods (fig. 21).
Aerospace spherical plain bearings, including maintenance-free and self-lubricating polymer composite liners, are used for helicopter rotor systems, landing gear, pylon-to-wing attachments, engine-to-pylon attachments, flight control actuation and engine accessories attachments (fig. 22).
Precision elastomeric devices (PED) such as elast

The Aircraft Particle Emissions eXperiment (APEX) was conducted at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center April 2004 to afford the scientific community an opportunity to systematically investigate the emissions of a commercial-class aircraft, NASA's DC-8, during ground-based operation. APEX included participants from more than ten institutions, each providing unique measurement capabilities for trace gas and/or particle species.
JETS APEX2 was conducted at the Oakland International Airport in August 2005 to was to develop TOG and PM speciation profiles for engines used in older (CFM56-3) and newer (CFM56-7) Boeing 737-type commercial aircraft burning standard Jet A fuel.
The main objective of APEX3 was to advance the knowledge of aircraft engine particle emissions. APEX3 was conducted at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) from October 26 to November 8, 2005. In APEX3, as in the previous studies, engine exhaust emissions and plume development were examined by acquiring data from the exhaust nozzle and in the near-field plume from a range of stationary commercial aircraft.

The effects of geographical locations on the chemical characterization of Erkence olive oil variety which cultivated in six different locations were evaluated in the west of Turkey.
The agricultural ecological map of each location was created using GIS. Olive oil samples were analyzed fatty acid, sterol and phenolic and also, LC IMS Qtof spectrometer and Progenesis QI software were used to determine the geographical fingerprints of olive oil samples in different locations.
Statistical analysis show that olive oil compositions differ significantly (p <0.05) by region. The Principal Component Analysis of the different locations analyzed revealed that "geographical location" factor significantly affects the olive oil quality.
Keywords: Geographical location, olive oil, sterols, phenolic compounds, LC IMS Qtof spectometer


Averaged Laytime
Separate laytime calculations must be drawn up for loading and for discharging unless there is an express clause in charter-party. In a stringent manner, a saving of time on loading operation cannot be applied to extend the time available for discharging operation unless there is an express clause to this effect in the charter-party. If there is such an express clause in charter-party, there are three (3) ways of achieving this effect:
 1. Specify Number of Hours/Days
 2. Averaged Laytime
 3. Reversible Laytime
In a charter-party, parties can agree to make no distinction between time allowed for loading and discharging with an express clause. As can be observed in tanker charters, parties simply specify number of hours within which the loading and discharging operations, together, must be completed.
In a charter-party, parties can either agree that the two operations (loading/discharging) shall be averaged (Averaged Laytime) or shall be reversible (Reversible Laytime) with an express clause. Occasionally, this is expressed as an option by the charterers either to average or to reverse.
In Averaged Laytime, charterers have the right to average, charterers may take credit for time saved in one operation and apply it to time overspent in the other operation. The setting-off which is done relates to time used and not to the value of such time in the form of demurrage or despatch. Generally, the demurrage rate is twice the despatch rate, it is very much in the charterers' interest to credit time saved against excess time used. Averaging can turn the paying party into the party receiving the money.
For example, demurrage rate is $20,000 per day and despatch rate is $10,000 per day. Time saved at the loading port is six (6) days. Excess time used at the discharging port is four (4) days. If the two operations are dealt with separately, charterers receive despatch at the load port of $60,000 and pay demurrage at the discharge port of $80,000. The result is that the charterers made a net payment of $20,000. On the other hand, if the charterers were entitled to average laytime, charterers would transfer four (4) of the six days (6) saved at the load port to time used at the discharge port. That would mean that charterers were entitled to receive $20,000 by way of despatch and had no liability to pay demurrage.
In some cases, it is possible for the charterers to lose their liberty to average laytime, if charterers act in a manner inconsistent with the intention to exercise such liberty. If charterers were to obtain payment for load port despatch by deducting it from freight, it might then be too late to set off time saved at the load port against excess time used at the discharge port.

Experience the photographic and aural history of the East Perth Power Power Station, from its beginning in 1916, through to its decommission in 1980.
This website takes you to East Perth in the 20th century to visit East Perth Power Station, the people who worked there, the children who grew up in its shadow, the local residents who lived close by and the consumers who used the electricity which the station generated. It tells of Aboriginal families who lived in East Perth and of the changing riverfront as industries grew and then moved out to newer suburbs. The power station together with other local industries had significant environmental impacts on the locality.
For much of the 20th century East Perth was the city's major industrial area and, from 1916 to 1980, the power station was one of the suburb's major workplaces. The workers who kept the station generating tell their work stories of power shortages and of the skilled efforts of everyone to keep the lights on and the city's industries, businesses and transport functioning. They tell of what work was like in a major heavy industrial workplace.
The station remains a heritage landmark, a site with engineering plant of world heritage significance.
East Perth Power Station lies at the heart of the electrification of Perth and at the beginnings of the southwest power grid. It deserves to be recognised and remembered as central to the fabric of life in 20th century Perth.
In turn, in highlighting our ever-expanding consumption of electricity, the station reminds us of the environmental limits to that consumption and the questions of sustainability which confront us in the 21st century.

What is a Top Tether?
Top Tether are additional anchorage points located in different positions in the car (usually on top of the car seat or behind the rear seat) and used for the additional belt at the back of the child restraint system. In general, Top Tether systems are not required by law which is why not all car seats are equipped with this system. However, the additional belt at the top of the child restraint system reduces the forward displacement of the seat during a head-on collision offering additional safety in case of an accident. Therefore, Top Tether systems are frequently used, especially in newer car seat models from various car seat manufactures.

new_handle = copyobj(h,p)
copyobj creates copies of graphics objects. The copies are identical to the original objects except the copies have different values for their Parent property and a new handle. The new parent must be appropriate for the copied object (e.g., you can copy a line object only to another axes object).
new_handle = copyobj(h,p) copies one or more graphics objects identified by h and returns the handle of the new object or a vector of handles to new objects. The new graphics objects are children of the graphics objects specified by p.

h and p can be scalars or vectors. When both are vectors, they must be the same length, and the output argument, new_handle, is a vector of the same length. In this case, new_handle(i) is a copy of h(i) with its Parent property set to p(i).
When h is a scalar and p is a vector, h is copied once to each of the parents in p. Each new_handle(i) is a copy of h with its Parent property set to p(i), and length(new_handle) equals length(p).
When h is a vector and p is a scalar, each new_handle(i) is a copy of h(i) with its Parent property set to p. The length of new_handle equals length(h).
When programming a GUI, do not call copyobj or textwrap (which calls copyobj) inside a CreateFcn. The act of copying the uicontrol object fires the CreateFcn repeatedly, which raises a series of error messages after exceeding the root object's RecursionLimit property.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) based on the Census of Population and Housing since 1986. The SEIFA indexes are widely used measures of relative socio-economic status at a small area level. The indexes rank and identify areas that are relatively more, or less, disadvantaged. They provide contextual information about the area in which a person lives. Yet, within any area there will be individuals and sub-populations with very different characteristics to the overall population of the area. When we make judgments about individuals, based on the characteristics of the area in which they live, there is potential for error in our conclusions. This potential for error is referred to as the ecological fallacy.
These documents will be presented in a new window.
