The tooth formula is a shorthand technique that biologist use to keep track of the teeth on a particular jaw. The formula consisted of two lines, top jaw and bottom jaw, which were used to count how many incisors, canines, premolars, and molar teeth a species had. Species A, Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer), had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw, the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have three of both the premolars and molars. On the bottom jaw, the deer had three incisors, one canine, three premolars, and three molars. Species B, Canis latrans (coyote), had a tooth formula of 3142/3143.
On the top jaw, the coyote had three incisors, one canine, four premolars, and two molars. On the bottom jaw, the coyote has three incisors, one canine, four premolars, and three molars. Both the deer and coyote skull were long and skinny towards the nose and mouth.
The coyote skull had a much rounder nose than the deer. Species C, Homo sapiens (human), had a tooth formula of 2122/2122. On both the top and bottom jaws, there were two incisors, one canine, two premolars, and two molars. In comparison to the deer and coyote skull, the human was an outcast. The human skull was a short distance from the back of the skull to the front. The human skull was very different in bone structure and longer in height than the deer and coyote skulls.
The tooth width from the deer, coyote, and human had a wide range in variety (Figure 1). There was a direct relationship between premolars one and two
Figure 1. Different tooth types in deer, coyote, and human compared by tooth width (cm). using the deer and human. The coyote had much smaller premolars than the deer and human. Figure 1 shows how similar the tooth width of a deer and coyote are. The cusps on the molars were very similar between the coyote and the human. The coyote and human molar cusps were very similar in molars one and two.
In Figure 1, the human and coyote tooth width are almost displayed the same. On molar three, the cusp sizes were very similar between the deer and coyote. The jaw length of a deer, 6.151 cm, is closest to a coyote, 5.507 cm, making the molars towards the back of the jaw more similar to each other than humans. Figure 1 gives a visual on the numbers for data and comparisons.
The tooth sharpness of each animal depended on the type of diet each animal had (Figure 2). The premolars had a linear pattern between the three animals.
Figure 2: Different tooth types of deer, coyote, and humans compared by tooth sharpness (deg.). Coyote's had the sharpest premolars, deer's in-between, and human's with the dullest premolars. Figure 2 compares the degrees of each premolar and each time, the pattern was followed. The molars had no relationship between each animal. Molar one cusp one and two are most closely related in both deer and humans. Molar two cusps one and two are most closely related to deer and human out of the three animals.
The cusps were similar but have about a ten-degree sharpness difference. The molars and cusps human's and deer's and human's were similar but have about a twelve-degree difference between sharpness. In the second molar of the human, the cusps were less sharp than the deer. Figure 2 displays that there was no pattern between the molars of the three animals.
Taking the calculated number of tooth width and dividing it by the matching jaw length found relative tooth width (Figure 3). Relative tooth width displays the tooth width relative to the length of the jaw. The jaw length of a deer was 6.151 cm,
Figure 3: Displays three different animals and how their tooth width is related to their jaw length. which was the longest jaw out of all species compared in this experiment. The coyote had a jaw length of 5.507cm while the human had a jaw length of 2.932 cm. Premolar one of the deer was most similar to the coyote. Premolar's 1, 2, and 3 were in proportion between the human and deer. The relative tooth width of the deer was very close in range while the coyote was not. By looking at Figure 3, this can be determined. The human has the highest relative tooth width out of the three species being compared.

Sometimes calculating how much fertilizer to place on your lawn can be very difficult to figure out. Rutgers University released a publication that easily and quickly allows you to calculate how much fertilizer to use per square foot. The calculation is based upon how much nitrogen is in your fertilizer, and depending on that percentage you get your precise fertilizer calculation.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Locate on your fertilizer container how much nitrogen is located in the fertilizer mix. This is crucial to calculating how much fertilizer is needed. Most fertilizers have a 1 to 46 percent nitrogen mix.
Locate Table 1 in the Rutgers University PDF file in "Resources," below. Match up the percentage of nitrogen from the container with the left column on the list. Across from it is the amount of fertilizer you need per square feet in pounds of fertilizer.
Multiple the length of your lawn by the width of your lawn to calculate the square footage. Finally, take the square footage of your lawn and multiply that by the pounds from the table that corresponds with your nitrogen percentage.

Refactoring dependencies with Autofac Aggregate Services
If you make considerable usage of constructor injection and the dependency inversion principle in your applications, you may eventually run into a situation where you have a fairly long list of dependencies that need to get provided to your class.
More often than not, this may be the cause of your class trying to be responsible for too much functionality. At this point, you'd probably take the route of breaking out some of that functionality into another class or service. Another reason for a growing dependency list might be due to your class' inheritance hierarchy. The parent class might require its own set of dependencies to be injected, and this would require the sub-classes to pass on these dependencies to their parent. What would happen if updates to the parent class add additional dependencies? All of sub-classes now would need to be updated to provide these also.
In this short post we will explore the option of using aggregate services to clean up our code and also shield our sub-classes from changes in the parent class dependencies.
What's an Aggregate Service?
What an aggregate service allows you to do is treat a collection of dependencies as a single dependency. As you can image, if a class depends on having multiple classes or services injected into it, we can simplify its API by moving these dependencies into a single one.
Imagine we have some code that looks something like this.
public class OrderRequestHandler : BaseRequestHandler
{
 private IPaymentProcessor _paymentProcessor;
 public OrderRequestHandler(IPaymentProcessor paymentProcessor,
 ILogger logger,
 IValidator validator) : base(logger, validator)
 {
 _paymentProcessor = paymentProcessor;
 }
}
public class BaseRequestHandler
{
 private readonly ILogger _logger;
 private IValidator _validator;
 public BaseRequestHandler(ILogger logger, IValidator validator)
 {
 _logger = logger;
 _validator = validator;
 }
}
The OrderRequestHandler class takes in three dependencies. Two of those dependencies are needed by the parent class. Adding another dependency to the parent, like IDataStore for instance, will require all of its sub-classes to be updated.
public class OrderRequestHandler : BaseRequestHandler
{
 private IPaymentProcessor _paymentProcessor;
 public OrderRequestHandler(IPaymentProcessor paymentProcessor,
 ILogger logger,
 IValidator validator,
 IDataStore dataStore)
 : base(logger, validator, dataStore)
 {
 _paymentProcessor = paymentProcessor;
 }
}
public class BaseRequestHandler
{
 private readonly ILogger _logger;
 private IValidator _validator;
 private IDataStore _dataStore;
 public BaseRequestHandler(ILogger logger,
 IValidator validator,
 IDataStore dataStore)
 {
 _logger = logger;
 _validator = validator;
 _dataStore = dataStore;
 }
}
Using aggregate services, we can introduce another abstraction to contain some of these "core services" that will get passed on to the parent class. In the code below, we are using a simple interface to model the aggregate service.
 public interface ICoreServices {
 IValidator Validator {get;}
 IDataStore DataStore {get;}
 }
Implementing Aggregate Services with Autofac
Implementing an aggregate service by hand is relatively trivial to accomplish. This would require building a class that accepts the dependencies as constructor arguments and then exposing those dependencies as properties.
Even though this is not hard to do, Autofac provides the handy Autofac.Extras.AggregateService NuGet package that will wire all of this up for you. After installing the package you will have a RegisterAggregateService method available off of ContainerBuilder, which is what we'll use to set things up. Using the code samples above, the Autofac registration code would look like this.
builder.RegisterAggregateService<ICoreServices>();
builder.RegisterType<MyValidator>().As<IValidator>();
builder.RegisterType<MyDataStore>().As<IDataStore>();
builder.RegisterType<MyPaymentProcessor>().As<IPaymentProcessor>();
Now we can update the OrderRequestHandler and BaseRequestHandler classes.
 public class OrderRequestHandler : BaseRequestHandler
 {
 private IPaymentProcessor _paymentProcessor;
 public OrderRequestHandler(IPaymentProcessor paymentProcessor,
 ICoreServices coreServices)
 : base(coreServices)
 {
 _paymentProcessor = paymentProcessor;
 }
 }
 public class BaseRequestHandler
 {
 private ICoreServices _coreServices;
 public BaseRequestHandler(ICoreServices coreServices)
 {
 _coreServices = coreServices;
 }
 }
What's happening behind the scenes is that the Autofac.Extras.AggregateService is generating a proxy for the ICoreServices interface using DynamicProxy. On running the application, the generated proxy will get injected into OrderRequestHandler. When a property is requested, it will be resolved from the Autofac container.
Conclusion
Implementing Aggregate Services is far from a silver bullet solution to cleaning up a large number of dependencies, but I think it's an interesting option to explore. Take a look at the following links for some further discussion on the topic.

The objective of this study was to reduce the uncertainties of correlations for flow characteristics in vertical pipes under flooding at the top end. The void fraction α, pressure gradient dP/dz, and countercurrent flow limitation (CCFL) were previously measured with diameter D = 40 mm and working fluid of air and water. The wall friction and interfacial friction factors (fw and fi) were obtained based on the annular flow model, and CCFL and fw were evaluated in detail. Hence, attention was turned to detailed evaluations of α and fi. Liquid film thickness δ and interfacial friction factor fi for smooth film (SF) due to flooding at the top end were obtained using the previously derived fw correlation and existing dP/dz data with D = 20 to 50.8 mm and pressure P = 0.1 to 4.1 MPa, and empirical correlations for δ and fi were derived. The δ term was well expressed by a function of the liquid Reynolds number ReL, and the uncertainty of the δ correlation was ±0.0062 for α = 0.87 to 0.98. fi was expressed by a function of δ/L (where L is the Laplace length) or the Kutateladze parameter KG*, the dimensionless diameter D* (=D/L), and the density ratio of the gas and liquid phases ρGL. The applicability of the derived correlations to conditions of D = 300 mm and P = 7 MPa was evaluated, and the fi correlation was modified based on fi values computed with the δ correlation. The drift-flux parameters for SF were also considered.


How to turn a smartphone into a wireless speaker for your computer
#1
Nowadays, smartphones in general and Android devices in particular, manufacturers developed features and turn it into something that sometimes you do not even think about. For example, in this post, with just a smartphone in your hand, you can turn it into a wireless speaker, connect it remotely with your computer to listen to music or watch movies. This is especially useful when suddenly one day you open up your computer and discover that computer speakers are not working. To make it easy to do, you need an application that bridge the phone and computer called AudioRelay through an internet connection.
Guide to turn your smartphone into a wireless speaker for your PC
To connect your smartphone to a wireless speaker, follow these steps:
Step 1: Get over, go to Google Play store and type in the AudioReplay keyword in the search bar to download the app to your phone. Or, click link below to download the app faster.
Dowload: AudioRelay: Stream audio from PC (Unreleased).
Note that AudioReplay is compatible with Android 5.0 and above and has a relatively small capacity of 7MB only.
Step 2: Install AudioRelay software on your computer by visiting the AudioRelay homepage at audiorelay.net. Next, select Windows to download and proceed with the installation.

So, we have just completed the steps to turn the phone into a wireless speaker for the computer. Just go with 4 these steps as above that you can play sound from computer to smartphone then. However, to improve experience when using you should note a few points below:
- AudioRelay can only transmit audio from your computer to your Android device when you connect to a Wi-Fi network.
- To stop broadcasting on your computer, simply close the AudioRelay window.
- In case of failure connection is mainly caused by the virus killer, please temporarily turn off it for a few minutes until the connection is successful then re-enable.
- AudioRelay is still in the testing process so many times the operation is not really stable.
Hope you enjoy this app and good luck!

So an Internet connection is needed for this? I don't know about you guys, but I don't like giving a website that kind of permission.
I prefer using Soundwire app, it does the the thing by connecting Android phone with PC through WiFi.

Hey, that's actually a nice thing to do. Especially for guys like me, who use the computer more often than their smartphones. It's that I have a speaker for my computer, otherwise I would totally do it. I'll just keep this thread close, in case the speaker dies on me, and I need a new one (or a now cheap and easy replacement).

Surviving texts from the Ancient Near East reveal a cosmology that included a dark underworld realm, principally associated with fertility cycles and describing fertility gods and goddesses who are captured and imprisoned in this realm.
In this underworld contrary gods live permanently in a world without joy where there is only dust to eat and drink. This land also served as a great warehouse for dead mortals. It was not conspicuously a place of punishment, but hints of judgment and retribution are already evident, and these elements became significant elements in other cultures as the idea of hell developed.
Evidence of this underworld are found in portions of five texts, which have been included here from:
- The Epic of Gilgamesh
- The Descent of Inanna to the Netherworld
- Baal and the Underworld
- The Descent of Ishtar
- The Vision of Kummâ.
This work is published in conjunction with the website
_URL_, which presents a comprehensive collection of materials on the more than 100 visions, tours and descriptions of the infernal otherworld from the cultures of the world from 2000 BCE to the present. This second edition contains a new preface, introduction and bibliography.

Claws of the Dragon
In Barsaive a name is truly a thing of power: a True Name gives a Pattern stability and allows it to grow. Knowledge of a Name can also give one power over a Pattern; knowing a Pattern's name is almost universally the first step to tying a Thread to a True Pattern.
It is important to draw the distinction between names and Names. Simply, only recognized proper names have power. All wolves share a similar patter, which is called "wolf," but Wolf is not the Name, just a description. A Name is a sign, perhaps even a requirement, of uniqueness.
Names can be set quickly in a ritual or more organically simply by use. It is worth noting that many Namegivers use an informal name or nickname when meeting strangers, for knowing somebody's Name gives one power over them; but as these nicknames become woven into the True Pattern of the individual, they in turn become Names.

Solving labour challenges with innovation
Vineland Station, Ontario, June 23, 2021 – A new white paper lays out how innovative technologies can reduce labour challenges for Ontario's processing vegetable growers.
The report, written by Vineland Research and Innovation Centre (Vineland) in collaboration with Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers (OPVG), identifies short-, medium- and long-term solutions for the sector.
"Now is the right time to elevate the conversation around automation and the adoption of innovative, labour-saving technologies that can also help growers boost production and be more efficient," says Keith Robbins, OPVG General Manager. "Labour is a long-standing challenge facing processing vegetable growers that has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic."
In the short-term, growers should adopt cost-effective farm management software to support better labour and supply chain management and consider using technology to control weeds, reducing the need for costly chemical products.
To boost shelf life as a way to cope with fluctuating product demand, Ontario vegetable processors should look to packaging and evaluate the economics and ease of implementation of different options.
The report recommends both growers and processors contact R&D companies developing high-tech agriculture solutions about the possibilities of participating in their pre-commercial trials to gain a better understanding of emerging technologies.
Into the future, opportunities lie with robots and drones to help with field scouting and foreign object detection, harvesting and debris detection and removal. The report also identifies the development of an integrated platform to centralize and simplify management of automated systems as key, as well as ensuring technology solutions are also accessible for smaller farming and processing businesses.
"Vineland is committed to advancing innovation in the horticulture sector and can play a connecting role in bringing together science, industry and growers for technology solutions benefitting the industry," says Hussam Haroun, Vineland's Director of Automation.
Tomatoes, carrots and sweet corn are the top three processing vegetable crops grown in Ontario. Labour accounts for 20 to 60 per cent of total production costs depending on the operation and harvesting is the most labour-intensive on-farm task.
Other time-consuming activities include transplanting, weeding, picking and stemming, grading crops and removing debris from field crops.
The complete report can be downloaded here.
This collaboration between Vineland and OPVG was funded under the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' Agri-food Prevention and Control Innovation Program to develop the processing vegetable sector innovation roadmap. Vineland was also involved in the development of sector road maps for asparagus and berries and is now carrying out a similar process to engage advanced manufacturing and automation companies through a collaboration with NGen (Next Generation Manufacturing Canada).

creep-in-compression testing device / refractoriness under load / materials / continuous-motion
creep-in-compression, refractoriness under load
The measurement of the pattern and extent of deformation of refractory ceramic products when placed under a continuous load and rising temperature is known as refractoriness under load (RUL, in accordance with ISO 1893). The softening does not occur in the same temperature range as the melting range of the pure raw material. Yet it must be properly checked with the RUL 421 to ensure the correct use of refractory products relating to applications at high-temperatures.
The shrinkage percentage of a refractory test piece when placed under a continuous load and exposed to a high temperature continuously for a long time is known as creep in compression (CIC, in compliance with ISO 3187). The RUL 421 is used for this CIC test up to a temperature of 1,700°C maximum. The RUL 421 has a robust design and is ideal for this type of long-running thermal and mechanical loads.


Why Doesn't the Church Offer More Teaching on Dreams, Deliverance or Miracles?
Why doesn't the church have more teachings on the supernatural?
Why doesn't the church have more teachings on the supernatural? (iStock photo )
Question: Why doesn't my church take dreams seriously? I have lots of dreams.
In the Bible, God gave dreams that provided counsel, guidance, gifts and promises. I want this! Why isn't there more training on it? I don't want to have to go to the New Age movement to learn about the supernatural.
Answer: "Western Christianity" has chosen to reduce Christianity to a reasoned, logical theology about a God who lives "up there." Dreams aren't rational or logical. Dreams constitute a direct encounter with the Living God (Acts 2:17).
Therefore, dreams are ignored. The same goes for working miracles, casting out demons, speaking in tongues, heavenly encounters and every other spiritual experience recorded in Scripture. Why would the church do this, and is there a way out of this mess?
Part 1 – Losing Heart Revelation
 1. Where Did This Rational Approach to Christianity Come From?
 2. Why Would the Church Strip Spiritual Encounters From Its Experience?
 3. Did You Know Satan Has Stolen the Bible From Conservatives as Well as Liberals?
Where Did This Rational Approach to Christianity Come From?
Thomas Aquinas: Even though the Bible says that man's thoughts are not God's thoughts (Is. 55:9), and Jesus rebuked "man's reasoning" every time it showed up in the Gospels (Matt. 16:5-12; Mark 2:5-12, 8:15-18), and James declared man's wisdom comes from below and is natural, sensual and demonic (James 3:13-17), the church has decided to follow the philosophy laid out by Thomas Aquinas: to limit spiritual experiences and replace them with reasoned theology.
True Knowledge! Amazingly, the word "theology" does not even appear in the Bible! "Doctrine" would be the closest word to theology, and the word doctrine only shows up 15 times in the NASB. Half the time, doctrine was rebuked because it was man's doctrine and the other half it was considered good doctrine because it was received as revelation from God. Paul called the truth he received by revelation, "true knowledge" (Col. 3:10; 2:2-23 NASB) as opposed to "knowledge." I don't believe I had ever drawn a distinction in my mind between knowledge and true knowledge. That's interesting.
Truth: A "Who" or a "what." Pilate wanted to know, "What is truth?" (John 18:38). The answer is that truth is not a what. Truth is not a reasoned set of concepts. Truth is a Person. Jesus said, "I am Truth" (John 14:6). I experience God's truth every time I have exchanges with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,17). This is revelation-based, God-breathed, living truth, applied correctly and directly to the moment I am living. Jesus said, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing" (John 6:63).
Nothing? Really?
Words or Power? The kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power (1 Cor. 4:20). Wow! So truth comes from illumination, empowering and transformation, which we experience every time we take a walk with God in the cool of the garden and He speaks.
Epistemology: The following introduces you to the basics of a Christian philosophy of "knowing." If you have already read my books on this topic, this will serve as a short summary review, and if not, this will serve as an introductory overview.
Yuck! I guess that because I took a religion-philosophy major while at Roberts Wesleyan College, my head has been geared to think philosophically about learning. While in college, I did not recognize the value of studying philosophy, as philosophers begin with the question, "Do I exist?" and then get into discussions concerning the fact that the miracles in the Bible are myths and not to be believed. I found the entire discussion repugnant, so I figured I would just set philosophy aside.
Maybe not so bad? Now, looking back over my life and seeing that I have written many books on establishing a revelation-based Christian philosophy for knowing, I realize that the philosophy courses in college trained me to ask a question that many people have never bothered to ask, which is, "What is God's approach for knowing truth?" What I have learned is that God's approach to discovering truth is completely different from what the Western culture believes, and even from what my Bible college and church taught me.
A Christian philosophy of knowing: May I present to you what God has taught me concerning establishing a biblical epistemology? I like the word epistemology as it is one of the biggest words I learned in college, and it just has such a nice ring to it! It means "system for knowing." Do you know what your system for discovering truth is?
Why Would the Church Strip Spiritual Encounters From Its Experience?
Plato: Early church fathers had fit Christian thought and experience into Plato's philosophy. Plato was a well-known philosopher who embraced spiritual encounters as a valid means for discovering truth.
Aristotle: In trying to make Christianity acceptable to Aristotle's philosophy, (which was sweeping Europe in the 1200s, and which did not accept divine encounter as a way of knowing truth), Thomas Aquinas spent his entire life laying out a logical, rational approach to Christianity.
Scholasticism: When Protestantism was formed, it adopted the scholasticism (i.e. a method of critical thought) of Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274). He was the author of more than 80 works, including the Summa Theologica, which was accorded special honor at the Council of Trent. In adopting scholasticism, Western Christianity adopted a very academic religion, which limited supernatural experiences and was counter to Plato's philosophy and to the Bible's own stated approach for discovering truth.
It's all straw! However, at the end of his life, the Lord granted Thomas Aquinas a triple dream experience (i.e. a spiritual, non-rational, supernatural experience), and it so profoundly affected him that when urged to write about it, he stated, "I cannot, because all that I have written seems like straw to me." He would write no more, and within four months he was dead. Yet today, we have embraced his writings, which he felt were straw and essentially rejected divine encounter, which fills the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
A protest movement: Also, since Martin Luther was embattled with and reacting to the sale of indulgences along with other Papal abuses, the movement was dubbed, "Protest-ant." Admittedly, whenever we are in a protesting mode, we generally push one side of truth, rather than the whole truth. Jon Ruthven has an easy-to-read book, What's Wrong with Protestant Theology? in which he explores the fight Protestants were in and why they were forced into creating such a one-sided "gospel."
Spiritual experiences lost! Scripture records over 50 dreams and visions, whose stories and outworkings reflect a full one-third of the Bible. Yet, if you checked out 1000 churches today, how many do you think would be offering a course on Christian Dream Interpretation? Perhaps none, or maybe one or two! So the question is: What gives our churches the right to reject one-third of the Bible and not even offer a Sunday school class on it?
We ate the straw! How tragic that we have chosen to major on what Thomas Aquinas considered "straw," (i.e. man's rational abilities), rather than on the supernatural lifestyle demonstrated throughout Scripture!
Let God be God! I suppose today some pastors would like to keep Christianity rational as they believe it is just "flakes" who hear God's voice. And then, of course, there is the whole issue of undermining the pastor's authority. My suggestions are, "If you train and shepherd well on how to hear God's voice, you will greatly reduce the number of flakes. As far as authority goes, true authority comes from God's spoken word, and not from any title one might have." All sheep get to hear His voice (John 10:27).
Liberals such as Rudolf Bultmann use demythologization to explain that the miracles are simply myths that are not to be believed or sought after. Conservatives rightly reject such a position, but then go on to offer their own justification for a life devoid of the supernatural, using dispensationalism to explain why God no longer has direct encounters with individuals.
Psychotic, really! Some liberal commentaries have gone as far as to say those who have dreams are psychotic! Some conservative groups have gone so far as to not ordain pastors in their denominations if they believe God speaks through dreams! Lord, forgive us!
Good old scorn! As a fundamentalist, I used to scorn the liberals because they did not believe the Bible was the inerrant Word of God (i.e. my scorning was done before God showed me that I

Sibress launches flexo plate measuring device for precise depth measurement
Leading measuring and analysis systems for quality control in flexographic and packaging printing, Sibress, has launched the new FADS3D mobile measuring device for two- and three-dimensional analysis of flexographic plates. This latest Sibress innovation can additionally be used in semi-automatic mode for measuring metal-backed photopolymer printing plates (letterpress plates). Deployable anywhere and easy to use, Sibress FADS3D combines full-featured capabilities in an exceptionally compact package.
The newly developed FADS3D is patent-pending and part of Sibress' systematic drive to improve and evolve the FC3D series. FADS3D uses a high-resolution camera to capture the surface as well as the recessed sections of dots and their base on the flexo plate. In addition to standard plate measurement functions, the instrument enables precise depth measurements based on digital images captured using Z-stacking (focus stacking). In practice, this means that Sibress FADS3D is also capable of accurately measuring the relief of flexo plates with a depth of more than 1350 µm. The increment per shot / layer is less than 5 µm when measuring in the Z-axis.
The new Sibress measuring instrument produces images that are razor sharp from the plate surface to the intermediate depths of the halftone dots and image areas. In other words, everything from the dot surfaces to the base areas of the plates can be visually checked in the Versatile@flex software using one and the same image.
True 3D images from an all-round perspective: As a special highlight, Sibress FADS3D provides a high-resolution, perspective 3D view of the captured plate area. The visualization is freely selectable from 360 degrees so that the shoulder and flank areas of halftone dots, for example, can be examined from different perspectives. Among other things, the new, enhanced measurement functions allow determination of the flank angle.
As far as standard measurement functions are concerned, Sibress FADS3D can analyze screens from 28 to more than 240 l/cm (71 to >620 lpi) as well as FM, hybrid, and newer specialty screens like Bellissima. All dots in the active control patch (larger than 3 mm2) are captured and evaluated by the Versatile@flex software. Parameters such as halftone value, screen, dot diameter and dot perimeter are instantly recognizable.
Calibrated for precision in every dimension: Sophisticated, largely automated calibration procedures for 2D and 3D capture ensure that measurements with Sibress FADS3D are permanently accurate and reproducible. A new, specially developed calibration tool guarantees repeatable depth measurements. This tool is equipped with special LED annular illumination and a precisely defined sphere, the size of which determines the calibration value.

Ok, so I the organization I am working for has a sharepoint database that multiple people update every time they do an inspection of natural resources on a parcel in the county. This database has the following fields:
*Parcel Number
*Date
*Notes
*Inspector
*Action
I have created a feature class with a centroid with these attributes placed in each parcel that has been inspected.
Is there a way to dynamically link the sharepoint database to the geodatabase so that when they go in and change/add anything to the notes section it actively changes (and adds new points to newly listed parcels) the attributes in the featureclass? If this isn't entirely clear, let me know! THANKS!
IF NOT: This layer only needs to be updated monthly. I am able to export it to a excel or csv file. Is there a quick way to create the centroids layer from this table? THANKS AGAIN!

1 Answer 1
Take a look at Query Layers.
 - Load your parcel boundary layer into ArcMap
 - Pull the information you require from your back-end Sharepoint into a stand-alone table in ArcMap (including the ID field that joins it to the Parcel)
 - Make a join between from the parcel layer to the query layer.
 - I believe that this link should now be dynamic and will pull the data directly from the db behind Sharepoint.
Any attributes within the fields that you have pulled in from Sharepoint that get changed at the SP end, these should flow through to your MXD.
A less dynamic approach would be suck the data you want out of Sharepoint, into an XLS, and load the XLS into your MXD and then join your parcel layer to that.
You have not given any background into the bigger picture on what you are trying to achieve. You may want to take a look at ArcGIS for Sharepoint.
I might be missing something, but I do not see the need to calculate centroids everytime. Do the parcel boundaries change from month to month?

You need to have configured the phpMyAdmin configuration storage for using transformations feature.
To enable transformations, you have to setup the
table and the proper directives. Please see the Configuration on how to do so.
You can apply different transformations to the contents of each column. The transformation will take the content of each column and transform it with certain rules defined in the selected transformation.
Say you have a column 'filename' which contains a filename. Normally you would see in phpMyAdmin only this filename. Using transformations you can transform that filename into a HTML link, so you can click inside of the phpMyAdmin structure on the column's link and will see the file displayed in a new browser window. Using transformation options you can also specify strings to append/prepend to a string or the format you want the output stored in.
For a general overview of all available transformations and their options, you can consult your //transformation_overview.php installation.
For a tutorial on how to effectively use transformations, see our Link section on the official phpMyAdmin homepage.
Go to your tbl_structure.php page (i.e. reached through clicking on the 'Structure' link for a table). There click on "Change" (or change icon) and there you will see three new fields at the end of the line. They are called 'Media type', 'Browser transformation' and 'Transformation options'.
- The field 'Media type' is a drop-down field. Select the Media type that corresponds to the column's contents. Please note that transformations are inactive as long as no Media type is selected.
- The field 'Browser transformation' is a drop-down field. You can choose from a hopefully growing amount of pre-defined transformations. See below for information on how to build your own transformation. There are global transformations and mimetype-bound transformations. Global transformations can be used for any mimetype. They will take the mimetype, if necessary, into regard. Mimetype-bound transformations usually only operate on a certain mimetype. There are transformations which operate on the main mimetype (like 'image'), which will most likely take the subtype into regard, and those who only operate on a specific subtype (like 'image/jpeg'). You can use transformations on mimetypes for which the function was not defined for. There is no security check for you selected the right transformation, so take care of what the output will be like.
- The field 'Transformation options' is a free-type textfield. You have
to enter transform-function specific options here. Usually the
transforms can operate with default options, but it is generally a
good idea to look up the overview to see which options are necessary.
Much like the ENUM/SET-Fields, you have to split up several options
using the format 'a','b','c',…(NOTE THE MISSING BLANKS). This is
because internally the options will be parsed as an array, leaving the
first value the first element in the array, and so forth. If you want
to specify a MIME character set you can define it in the
transformation_options. You have to put that outside of the predefined options of the specific mime-transform, as the last value of
the set. Use the format "'; charset=XXX'". If you use a transform, for
which you can specify 2 options and you want to append a character
set, enter "'first parameter','second parameter','charset=us-ascii'".
You can, however use the defaults for the parameters: "'','','charset
=us-ascii'". The default options can be configured using
All specific transformations for mimetypes are defined through class files in the directory 'libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/'. Each of them extends a certain transformation abstract class declared in libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/Abs.
They are stored in files to ease up customization and easy adding of new transformations.
Because the user cannot enter own mimetypes, it is kept sure that transformations always work. It makes no sense to apply a transformation to a mimetype the transform-function doesn't know to handle.
There is a file called '
libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations.php' that provides some
basic functions which can be included by any other transform function.
The file name convention is
Name].php, while the abstract class that it extends has the
[Transformation Name]TransformationsPlugin. All of the
methods that have to be implemented by a transformations plug-in are:
- getMIMEType() and getMIMESubtype() in the main class;
- getName(), getInfo() and applyTransformation() in the abstract class it extends.
The getMIMEType(), getMIMESubtype() and getName() methods return the name of the MIME type, MIME Subtype and transformation accordingly. getInfo() returns the transformation's description and possible options it may receive and applyTransformation() is the method that does the actual work of the transformation plug-in.
Please see the
libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/TEMPLATE_ABSTRACT files for adding
your own transformation plug-in. You can also generate a new
transformation plug-in (with or without the abstract transformation
class), by using
The applyTransformation() method always gets passed three variables:
- $buffer - Contains the text inside of the column. This is the text, you want to transform.
- $options - Contains any user-passed options to a transform function as an array.
- $meta - Contains an object with information about your column. The data is drawn from the output of the mysql_fetch_field() function. This means, all object properties described on the manual page are available in this variable and can be used to transform a column accordingly to unsigned/zerofill/not_null/… properties. The $meta->mimetype variable contains the original Media type of the column (i.e. 'text/plain', 'image/jpeg' etc.)


Redis Output Configuration
The Redis output inserts the events into a Redis list or a Redis channel. This output plugin is compatible with the Redis input plugin for Logstash.
Example configuration:
output.redis:
 hosts: ["localhost"]
 password: "my_password"
 key: "metricbeat"
 db: 0
 timeout: 5
Compatibility
This output works with Redis 3.2.4.
Redis Output Options
You can specify the following options in the redis section of the metricbeat.yml config file:
enabled
The enabled config is a boolean setting to enable or disable the output. If set to false, the output is disabled.
The default value is true.
hosts
The list of Redis servers to connect to. If load balancing is enabled, the events are distributed to the servers in the list. If one server becomes unreachable, the events are distributed to the reachable servers only. You can define each Redis server by specifying HOST or HOST:PORT. For example: "192.15.3.2" or "test.redis.io:12345". If you don't specify a port number, the value configured by port is used.
port
Deprecated in 5.0.0.
The Redis port to use if hosts does not contain a port number. The default is 6379.
index
Deprecated in 5.0.0.
The index setting is renamed to key
The name of the Redis list or channel the events are published to. The default is "metricbeat".
key
The name of the Redis list or channel the events are published to. The default is "metricbeat".
The redis key can be set dynamically using a format string accessing any fields in the event to be published.
This configuration will use the fields.list field to set the redis list key. If fields.list is missing, fallback will be used.
output.redis:
 hosts: ["localhost"]
 key: "%{[fields.list]:fallback}"
keys
Array of key selector configurations supporting conditionals, format string based field access and name mappings. The first rule matching will be used to set the key for the event to be published. If keys is missing or no rule matches, the key field will be used.
Rule settings:
key: The key format string. If the fields used in the format string are missing, the rule fails.
mapping: Dictionary mapping key values to new names
default: Default string value if mapping does not find a match.
when: Condition which must succeed in order to execute the current rule.
Example keys settings:
output.redis:
 hosts: ["localhost"]
 key: "default_list"
 keys:
 - key: "info_list" # send to info_list if 'message' field contains INFO
 when.contains:
 message: "INFO"
 - key: "debug_list" # send to debug_list if 'message' field contains DEBUG
 when.contains:
 message: "DEBUG"
 - key: "%{[type]}"
 mapping:
 "http": "frontend_list"
 "nginx": "frontend_list"
 "mysql": "backend_list"
password
The password to authenticate with. The default is no authentication.
db
The Redis database number where the events are published. The default is 0.
datatype
The Redis data type to use for publishing events.If the data type is list, the Redis RPUSH command is used and all events are added to the list with the key defined under key. If the data type channel is used, the Redis PUBLISH command is used and means that all events are pushed to the pub/sub mechanism of Redis. The name of the channel is the one defined under key. The default value is list.
host_topology
Deprecated in 5.0.0.
The Redis host to connect to when using topology map support. Topology map support is disabled if this option is not set.
password_topology
Deprecated in 5.0.0.
The password to use for authenticating with the Redis topology server. The default is no authentication.
db_topology
Deprecated in 5.0.0.
The Redis database number where the topology information is stored. The default is 1.
worker
The number of workers to use for each host configured to publish events to Redis. Use this setting along with the loadbalance option. For example, if you have 2 hosts and 3 workers, in total 6 workers are started (3 for each host).
loadbalance
If set to true and multiple hosts or workers are configured, the output plugin load balances published events onto all Redis hosts. If set to false, the output plugin sends all events to only one host (determined at random) and will switch to another host if the currently selected one becomes unreachable. The default value is true.
timeout
The Redis connection timeout in seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
max_retries
The number of times to retry publishing an event after a publishing failure. After the specified number of retries, the events are typically dropped. Some Beats, such as Filebeat, ignore the max_retries setting and retry until all events are published.
Set max_retries to a value less than 0 to retry until all events are published.
The default is 3.
bulk_max_size
The maximum number of events to bulk in a single Redis request or pipeline. The default is 2048.
If the Beat sends single events, the events are collected into batches. If the Beat publishes a large batch of events (larger than the value specified by bulk_max_size), the batch is split.
Specifying a larger batch size can improve performance by lowering the overhead of sending events. However big batch sizes can also increase processing times, which might result in API errors, killed connections, timed-out publishing requests, and, ultimately, lower throughput.
Setting bulk_max_size to values less than or equal to 0 disables buffering in libbeat. When buffering is disabled, Beats that publish single events (such as Packetbeat) send each event directly to Redis. Beats that publish data in batches (such as Filebeat) send events in batches based on the spooler size.
ssl
Configuration options for SSL parameters like the root CA for Redis connections guarded by SSL proxies (for example stunnel). See SSL Configuration for more information.
proxy_url
The URL of the SOCKS5 proxy to use when connecting to the Redis servers. The value must be a URL with a scheme of socks5://. You cannot use a web proxy because the protocol used to communicate with Redis is not based on HTTP.
If the SOCKS5 proxy server requires client authentication, you can embed a username and password in the URL.
When using a proxy, hostnames are resolved on the proxy server instead of on the client. You can change this behavior by setting the proxy_use_local_resolver option.
proxy_use_local_resolver
This option determines whether Redis hostnames are resolved locally when using a proxy. The default value is false, which means that name resolution occurs on the proxy server.


Types of RDPE feed
Time-based Events: Regular Classes and Sessions
These always have at least activity, location and startDate specified: so a Yoga class in Downtown Leisure Centre, at 7pm, on a Tuesday. See here for further clarification of the types available.
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents regular events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries, SessionSeries, and ScheduledSession, linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Property inheritance
The ScheduledSession will inherit the properties of the SessionSeries, and the SessionSeries will inherit the properties of the EventSeries.
This means that if an EventSeries is not supplied, its details must be included on the SessionSeries.
Property inheritance overrides
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents regular events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries, SessionSeries, and ScheduledSession. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Permissible configurations
A SessionSeries must always be supplied, including details that would otherwise be present in an EventSeries if no EventSeries is supplied.
In order for data to be bookable a ScheduledSession must be supplied, either embedded, within a separate feed, or generated through a Schedule.
For large providers with many events that are described identically but occur in the same location or in different locations, an EventSeries should be used to group these together. This avoids seemingly duplicate search results from a single provider.
Exposing the model in feeds
For systems targeting small providers, the ScheduledSession may be embedded in the SessionSeries or visa versa.
For systems targeting large providers or small providers with high volumes of sessions, the ScheduledSession is highly recommended to be provided in a separate feed to the SessionSeries. This will reduce data transfer volumes significantly.
The EventSeries is unlikely to change frequently enough compared with the SessionSeries to warrant its own feed, and so can usually be embedded in the SessionSeries.
For bookable data, the possible feed combinations are described in the diagram below:
Bookable data feed examples:
Listings data feed examples:
Use of @id and superEvent for split feeds
When referencing data across feeds (such as between SessionSeries and ScheduledSession), the value of the @id must be used.
An @id is a globally unique identifier which must be in URL format for the purposes of namespacing. The @id does not need to resolve to a functional endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the organization or system publishing the data. See here for more information.
So for a minimal implementation simply invent a URL pattern that includes your domain for use as your @id, such as:
"_URL_
For example within a SessionSeries feed, the SessionSeries @id is defined for each data item:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "SessionSeries",
"@id": "_URL_
...
}
And within a corresponding ScheduledSession feed, that SessionSeries @id is referenced by the superEvent property:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "ScheduledSession",
"@id": "_URL_
"superEvent": "_URL_
...
}
Time-based Events: Ad-hoc Events
The OpenActive model allows for ad-hoc events to be described using the pattern below. Ad-hoc events must only be used to describe truly ad-hoc events, and not to describe regular events such as those described in the previous section. See here for further clarification of the types available.
Summary of ad-hoc event types
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents ad-hoc events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries and Event, linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Property inheritance
The Event will inherit the properties of the EventSeries.
This means that if an EventSeries is not supplied, its details must be included on the Event.
Permissible configurations
An Event must always be supplied, including details that would otherwise be present in an EventSeries if no EventSeries is supplied.
For large providers with many events that are described identically but occur in the same location or in different locations, an EventSeries should be used to group these together. This avoids seemingly duplicate search results from a single provider.
Exposing the model in feeds
Systems must include Events in stand-alone feeds separate from ScheduledSessions and SessionSeries.
The EventSeries is unlikely to change frequently enough compared with the Event to warrant its own feed, and so can usually be embedded in the Event.
For bookable data, example feed combinations are described in the diagram below:
Bookable data feed examples:
Slot-based Events: FacilityUses
These always have at least activity andlocation specified, where the activity can be booked in slots: so a Tennis at Downtown Leisure Centre with slots available hourly from 8am until 8pm.
Two different levels of granularity are available: A FacilityUse represents "Badminton at Downtown Leisure Centre", where as IndividualFacilityUse is "Court 2 in Sports Hall 3 for Badminton at Towntown Leisure Centre".
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents slot-based events using a hierarchy of types: FacilityUse/IndividualFacilityUse and Slot, linked via the facilityUse and event properties.
For facilities a publisher must implement the following two independent feeds:
Additionally, to publish specific court availability they must also implement the following two feeds:
 - _URL_
 - _URL_
Use of @id and facilityUse for split feeds
When referencing data across feeds (such as between FacilityUse and Slot), the value of the @id must be used.
An @id is a globally unique identifier which must be in URL format for the purposes of namespacing. The @id does not need to resolve to a functional endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the organization or system publishing the data. See here for more information.
So for a minimal implementation simply invent a URL pattern that includes your domain for use as your @id, such as:
"_URL_
For example within a FacilityUse feed, the FacilityUse @id is defined for each data item:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "FacilityUse",
"@id": "_URL_
...
}
And within a corresponding Slot feed, that FacilityUse @id is referenced by the facilityUse property:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "Slot",
"@id": "_URL_
"facilityUse": "_URL_
...
}
Other types of Time-based Events: Headline Events and Courses
A feed of HeadlineEvent can be used to represent whole day or multi-day events, such as mass participation events, family fun days, etc.
 - The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents these events using a hierarchy of types: HeadlineEvent (for the overall event) and Event (for small events within the overall event) linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties.
 - See here for further clarification, and here for an example.
A feed of CourseInstance can be used to represent a fixed-length course.
 - The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents these events using a hierarchy of types: CourseInstance (for the whole course) and Event (for the individual occurrences) linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties.
 - See here for further clarification, and here for an example.
Event relationship overview
The following diagram illustrates the relationships between the event types available within the OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0:
Note the use of aliases (e.g. "IndividualFacilityUseSlot") which are useful when referring to a specific type that is being used in a particular context.
The relationship between all types is represented via the superEvent and subEvent properties, with the exception of:
 - FacilityUse/IndividualFacilityUse and Slot, which are linked via the facilityUse and event properties
 - FacilityUse and IndividualFacilityUse, which are linked via the aggregateFacilityUse and individualFacilityUse properties.
Schema.org type inheritance overview
The model itself (the properties within the types) follows a different inheritance structure to the property inheritance structure described above.
EventSeries, SessionSeries, ScheduledSession, HeadlineEvent, CourseInstance, and Slot all sub-class Event.
This can be useful for modelling the entities within certain frameworks.


Type Alias
nw_framer_output_handler_t
A handler that notifies your protocol about a new outbound message.
Declaration
typedef void (^nw_framer_output_handler_t)(nw_framer_t framer, nw_framer_message_t message, size_t message_length, bool is_complete);
Parameters
framer
The framer instance associated with the connection.
message
The framer message passed by the application.
message_length
The length of the message content being sent.
is_complete
A boolean indicating if this the last chunk of a message.
Discussion
The output handler is your opportunity to encapsulate or encode a signle application message. You should write any output using nw_framer_write_output, nw_framer_write_output_data, or nw_framer_write_output_no_copy before returning from the output handler. If you do not write a message, the application message will be discarded.
See Also
Handling Output Data
nw_framer_set_output_handler
Sets a block to handle new outbound messages.
nw_framer_parse_output
Examines the content of output data while inside your output handler.
nw_framer_parse_completion_t
A handler that examines a range of data being sent or received.
nw_framer_write_output
Sends arbitrary output data in a buffer from your protocol to the next protocol.
nw_framer_write_output_data
Sends arbitrary output data from your protocol to the next protocol.
nw_framer_write_output_no_copy
Sends a specific number of bytes from a message while inside your output handler.
nw_framer_pass_through_output
Indicates that your protocol no longer needs to handle output data.


What is it about?
When stressed nurses may adopt behaviours which have an negative impact on their health and wellbeing. Learning about Making Every Contact Count may help improve nurses self-care abilities and their health promotion skills.
Featured Image
Why is it important?
Health behaviours are shaped by a number of factors, some of which are beyond the control of the individual. These structural influences on health need to be addressed by nurse managers, Trust employers and the NHS. However there are many things that nurses can do to influence and improve both their own health and the health of the people they serve.
Perspectives
I hope this article will be a practical useful addition to the discussion on how nurses can improve their health promotion communication skills.

As the Oregon Legislative session moves into full-swing giving spectators a front row seat to frantic lobbying and frenetic lawmaking, the Oregon Court of Appeals issued a decision that should remind those involved in this pastime affectionately known as "sausage-making," to consider the importance of the deliberations. The decision relates to efforts to remove the oldest home in Lake Oswego, the historic Carman House, from the City of Lake Oswego's inventory of historic resources and potentially allow for its demolition, as described in my previous blog post. In 1995, the Oregon Legislature passed the statute at issue, ORS 197.772, which precludes a local government from imposing a historic designation on a property over "a property owner's" objection. Subsection (3) of that same statute further provides that "a property owner" may subsequently seek to remove a historic designation that was imposed. The issue before LUBA and the Court in the case, Lake Oswego Preservation Society v. City of Lake Oswego, was whether a request to remove a designation after it has been imposed must be made by the same property owner who originally objected or whether a subsequent owner may also seek removal.
The general rule when interpreting a statute is to focus on the text and context of the provision. However, courts will also look to the legislative history to determine intent. In the Lake Oswego case, the Court found, as had LUBA, that the text and context for determining who was included as "a property owner" under ORS 197.772 was not particularly helpful and it turned to the legislative history. This history came largely from two hearings before the House Committee on General Government and Regulatory Reform. LUBA keyed into a statement by one of the bill's authors, when asked whether a subsequent purchaser could seek to remove historic designation, responded that "[w]e haven't thought about that situation." LUBA also noted that a proposed amendment making clear that in cases where the property owner does not object, subsequent owners are bound to the designation, and was rejected and not included in the engrossed bill. Based on those comments, LUBA concluded that the drafters intended to afford relief only to those property owners on whose property the designation had been imposed.
The Court of Appeals analysis of the legislative history makes no mention of those portions of the legislative history that LUBA found important. Instead, the court highlighted that the legislation was to allow owners that were "coerced into the historic property designation" to seek removal of that designation. The court quoted from another representative summarizing the scope of subsection (3) to include those cases where "property owners were not allowed to consent and government imposed it on them that now they would have an opportunity to remove their property from that designation." From this, the court concluded that the amendment allows "individuals who own property on which historic designations had been involuntarily imposed by the local government – before the enactment of ORS 197.772 – to have that designation removed." The court explained that the focus during these committee meetings was on providing relief in cases where a designation was imposed over an owner's objection and not on whether subsequent purchasers could also take advantage of the previous owner's objection. Further, the court found that preservation advocates' concerns that adoption of subsection (3) would have the effect of "dismantling historic districts" and a lack of response by the proponents indicated an intent to have broad effects. As a result, the court concluded that any property owner that has a local historic designation forced on their property may remove that designation.
What is so interesting about this case is that two review bodies looked at the same legislative history and reached diametrically opposing conclusions. Maybe the difficulty is that the Court of Appeals failed to mention, much less explain, why the comments that LUBA found instructive were not helpful. How could the court find that committee discussions focused solely on giving relief to those owners who were "coerced into a historic preservation designation" and from that extend that same protection to property owners who were not coerced but instead knowingly purchased a designated property? If this ruling rests on the conclusion that the legislature intended the effect of ORS 197.772 to "dismantle" historic preservation efforts, legislators, both proponents and opponents, need to be much more descriptive and particular in describing their intent.
The City of Portland Bureaus of Development Services and Sustainable Development proposed a series of incentives for the development of green energy technologies or "green bundle" within the City back in July of 2009. This "green bundle" was part of a number of other technical amendments to the City Zoning Code known as RICAP 5. The green amendments included exempting eco-roofs from design review, setting standards for the location of water cisterns and wind turbines and exempting roof-mounted solar panels from design review in non-historic areas.

Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker
The term "knowledge worker" was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker's time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow.

ThreatQuotient Launches Data-Driven Approach to SOAR and XDR, Accelerating Detection & Response
[May 04, 2021]
ThreatQuotient, a leading security operations platform innovator, today announced ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator, a new data-driven automation capability for more efficient and effective threat detection and response. This capability enables users to control what actions are to be taken, when, and why through the use of data.
"The security industry's approach to automation has overlooked the vastly different needs of detection and response use cases," said Leon Ward, VP of Product Management, ThreatQuotient. "The focus of ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator is data, not process. In detection and response, what is learned when performing an action is far more important than the action itself. ThreatQuotient has seized an opportunity to define and provide automation in a way that reduces complexity for security teams."
With the shortage of security personnel, automation has become a key strategy to offload repetitive tasks and empower humans to conduct advanced security operations tasks more efficiently. To date, automation has been looked at as defining a process and the steps needed to complete that process. This approach ignores the fact that automation is much more than just running the process. In reality, there are three important stages of automation to define and address:
 1. Initiate - Define what should have actions taken upon it and when those actions should occur
 2. Run - Perform the course of action or defined process through to completion
 3. Learn - Record what is learned for analytics and to improve future response
ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator puts the "smarts" in the platform and not the individual playbooks by using Smart Collections™ and data-driven playbooks. The application of Smart Collections and data-driven playbooks provides or simpler configuration and maintenance, and provides a more efficient automation outcome. This approach further addresses all three stages of automation - Initiate, Run and Learn - easily and efficiently by enabling users to curate and prioritize data upfront, automate only when relevant, and simplify actions taken. It can be used to complement other playbook capabilities through ThreatQuotient's ecosystem partners or users can define data-driven playbooks within the ThreatQ platform. To improve the platform "smarts", it will also capture what has been learned to improve data analytics, which in turn improves the initiation stage of automation.
Use cases for ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator include but are not limited to automating the following:
 - Hunting key threats as new intelligence is learned and recording the results
 - Deploying blocking and detection content to EDR and network devices
 - Enriching threat intelligence that meets complex criteria including relationships
 - Tasking a user to patch a high priority vulnerability that is being used in relevant campaigns
"Having high confidence in the data being used to trigger alerts is critical. ThreatQuotient's approach to security operations ensures that teams remain focused on high-priority threats through automation and optimization, achieving results such as freeing up multiple analysts for more important tasks," Ed Amoroso, CEO and Founder, TAG Cyber. "ThreatQuotient's data-driven approach to automation through ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator enables security teams to reduce the number of playbook runs and have confidence that the output is relevant and high priority."
ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator will be available in Summer 2021. To learn more about the benefits of data-driven automation, visit the ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator webpage.

AI in the City: Speculating on Potential Futures Through Media Art
This paper analyses the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the social and spatial experience of contemporary urban living, and how media art projects can enable us to speculate on its future implications. AI technologies are being combined with sensors, surveillance cameras and databases to improve the efficiency of key urban infrastructures and make them more sustainable. However, this assemblage has also supported pervasive forms of surveillance that involve detailed citizen profiling. This has been demonstrated by China's Social Credit System and its aim to regulate social behaviour in public space according to pre-established notions of what is deemed acceptable or not under the guise of encouraging trustworthiness in citizens. This highlights the need to address the complex ethical issues that emerge from the application of AI in urban space, involving privacy rights, government oppression, social and racial bias and the replacement of human oversight with decisions made by AI agents. Individual artists such as Liam Young and artist collectives such as Blast Theory have speculated on future urban scenarios through projects that include conceptual films, live performances and participatory art projects. Such projects merge fiction and reality and are informed by developments in surveillance, biotechnology and autonomous machines that suggest ways in which AI might influence the future of urban living. By analysing case studies of art projects that enable reflection on the increasing role of AI in the city I discuss its future social, spatial and ethical implications.

How to Block Images on Websites with Firefox and Chrome
Did you know that you could block images on websites easily while browsing the internet? Yes, that's true: You don't have to see any images on a website if you don't want to.
Why would Someone Need to Block Images?
There could be a lot of reasons for blocking images when viewing a website. Here are a couple of them that comes to my mind:
- Saving bandwidth. The biggest bandwidth consumers on the internet are image files (after videos). If you are using a very limited internet connection plan, you can save a lot of bandwidth by blocking images.
- Family-safe browsing. Let's say you need to do some research about an adult related topic but you don't want to display images because you are in the office or in a public library. If reading the text will be enough for you, you could simply block the images and browse like that.
- Too annoying images? Some websites have dozens of images on a single page that are not related to the article; hence, blocking them could be a good idea.
Now, I will briefly explain how you can block images in Firefox and Chrome browsers. Note that the following steps may be different depending on your browser version.
Blocking Images with Firefox
To block images in Firefox, simply go to Firefox menu on the upper left corner and click on Options to open Options window.
Firefox Options
On the Content tab, deselect Load images automatically and click OK. Now, when you visit a website, the images will not be loaded. If you want to allow certain sites to load images, you can do that by clicking Exceptions button and entering the URLs of the allowed websites on the next window.
Block Images in Firefox
Blocking Images with Chrome
Blocking images in Chrome is also simple. Open Chrome and go to the options panel or type the following into the address bar.
chrome://settings/content
The Content Settings window will open. In the Images section, select Do not show any images.
Block Images in Chrome
You can allow certain sites to display images by clicking Manage exceptions.
This is how to block images in Firefox and Chrome. If you are using another browser, you can block images in the same manner from its options panel.

Haptics effects in Qt
From Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
This article shows how to provide haptic feedback to users (either through vibration or audio) using the Qt Feedback API. This could be used in games or UIs to improve the user experience.

Before we start
First of all, it's important to understand the concept of actuators. An actuator is a device responsible for providing tactile feedback. It's like a tiny motor that produces a physical effect to a command sent by our application.
The Feedback API abstract those devices through the QFeedbackActuator class. Those devices are identified by the id() and have a name(). Please see QFeedbackActuator for the complete documentation.
The actuators are capable of providing different effects. For example, on the Nokia N8 the actuator named "Touch" is capable of providing feedback when the user touches the screen. The actuator named "Vibra" is the one that works when producing vibration (like the one that occurs when the phone is ringing). To know which actuators exists in the device, the API provides this method:
QList list = QFeedbackActuator::actuators () ;
With that list in hand you are able to query which actuators you can use.
Making it vibrate
Now we're going to show how to make the phone vibrate. The API provides a class named QFeedbackHapticsEffect that abstract the concept of "feedback effect".
How it works
The effect is composed of three parts: start, middle, and end. The start part is called "attack", and the end part is called "fade". The API provides methods to configure all those parts. The end result is that the total time the effect lasts is "attack" + main part + "fade". Let's see an example:
QfeedbackHapticsEffect effect;
effect.setIntensity (0.5);
effect.setDuration (1000);
This piece of code configures the effect to last for 1 second (1000 ms) and have an intensity of 50%. The intensity is a number between 0.0 and 1.0, with this last value meaning "full intensity". The method start() starts playing the effect, and stop() is used to stop playing it.
What about the actuators?
The device plays the effect using one of its actuators. In the example, it uses the "default actuator". In the N8, this happens to be the "Touch" actuator. So, how can we make the device vibrate? We need to change the actuator!
// get the actuator list
// get the Vibra
QFeedbackActuator * vibra = 0;
foreach (QFeedbackActuator * a, list)
if (a->name() == "Vibra")
vibra = a;
// if vibra is not found, you device does not have it
if (vibra == 0)
// handle error
// let's change the actuator
effect.setActuator (vibra);
And that's it.
How about the other parts of the effect?
Use the following methods from QFeedbackHapticsEffect to change the other two parts of the effect. By default their duration is zero milliseconds.
 - void setAttackIntensity (qreal intensity)
 - void setAttackTime (int msecs)
 - void setFadeIntensity (qreal intensity)
 - void setFadeTime (int msecs)
Short example
Our example uses this user interface:
Haptics effects in qt fig 1.jpg
It has two button and a plain text box.
Here's our Widget.h file:
_TAG_ WIDGET_H
_TAG_ WIDGET_H
_TAG_
_TAG_
_TAG_
using namespace QtMobility;
namespace Ui {
class Widget;
class Widget : public QWidget
explicit Widget(QWidget *parent = 0);
void put(const QString & msg);
public slots:
void startClicked();
void stopClicked();
Ui::Widget *ui;
QFeedbackHapticsEffect rumble;
_TAG_ // WIDGET_H
We need to include the files for the actuator and feedback effect. The classes of Qt Mobility are under the QtMobility namespace. We are declaring it in the file for convenience. The public slots are connected to the button events. The put() method is a convenience method to print text in the text box.
Now here is the implementation file:
_TAG_ "widget.h"
_TAG_ "ui_widget.h"
// convinience method to print text
void Widget::put(const QString & msg)
Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) :
ui(new Ui::Widget)
// connect signals and slots
// here we list which actuators are there on the phone
put (QString ("num actuators: %1").arg(list.count()));
QFeedbackActuator* vibra = 0;
// now we pick the vibra actuator
foreach (QFeedbackActuator* a, list)
put (a->name());
if (a->name() == "Vibra")
vibra = a;
if (vibra == 0)
put ("vibra not found");
delete ui;
void Widget::startClicked()
void Widget::stopClicked()
Finally, here's the.pro file:
QT += core gui
TARGET = FeedbackDemo
SOURCES += main.cpp\
HEADERS += widget.h
FORMS += widget.ui
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY = feedback
symbian {
TARGET.UID3 = 0xeb02a514

Together We Can Make A Difference


Antennas sticking out of an aircraft obviously increase profile drag, but the folks who design antennas have done a lot to improve aerodynamics: High performance aircraft can have antennas mounted inside of fiberglass components like wingtips, and flush-mounte antennas are available for transponders and DME equipment.
For slower light GA aircraft more aerodynamic antennas are also available (e.g. blade-style transponder antennas are available which produce about 80% less drag than older spike-and-ball style antennas), measured at 250 MPH.
Since the average light GA aircraft has a VNE below 250 MPH and isn't generally covered in antennas, how significant is the antenna drag on a typical light GA airframe? For example, would stripping the ~6 pounds of antenna drag from your average Cessna make an appreciable difference in airspeed?
 - $\begingroup$ if you know you have 6 pounds of antenna drag and you know the pounds of thrust of the engine then you can get a rough estimate of how much faster you go faster $\endgroup$ – ratchet freak Feb 7 '14 at 8:49
From an aerospace engineering perspective:
The drag coefficient ($C_D$) of a round antenna is can be estimated by around $.5$ depending on shape, while for an streamlined shape it's around $0.045$.
Drag is defined as:
Thus, say you have a 0.01 m wide antenna 0.25 m long, for an aircraft moving at 50 m/s. At sea level conditions, air density $\rho=1.225 \mathrm {kg/m^3}$. Say that $C_D=0.5$. If my calculations add up, it's around $1.9 \mathrm{N}$.
Say you have the same antenna, for the same aircraft aircraft moving at 50 m/s. Air density is $1.225 \mathrm{kg/m^3}$, but this time the antenna is streamlined with $C_D=0.04$. This results in a force of only $0.15 \mathrm {N}$.
(Updates: Originally the formula included $\frac12$ twice which was wrong, and that the force was given in kg, rather than newtons; my apologies.)

 - $\begingroup$ At the moment MathJax is not enabled on this site because of the processing overhead and the related long page loading times. See meta.aviation.stackexchange.com/q/145/19 for the Meta discussion $\endgroup$ – DeltaLima Feb 7 '14 at 10:51

 $\begingroup$ You can do a lot to improve readability of formulae using , ρ etc. I took the liberty of adding those. $\endgroup$ – Marcks Thomas Feb 7 '14 at 12:26

 $\begingroup$ I also took the liberty of omitting "/2" from the drag formula, as it was incorrect, but the factor appears to have been edited back in. $\endgroup$ – Marcks Thomas Feb 7 '14 at 13:09

 $\begingroup$ Manfred, what's happening in Delft? Why don't you just use Newtons as a result from your calculations. Now it is confusing because your units don't match up. To express force as mass isn't the way to do AE :-). Also thrust is not defined a power available * velocity. Delivered power is defined as thrust * velocity (TAS). Thus thrust = delivered power / velocity. Note that the rated available power from your engine is more than the delivered power because you loose some in transmission and propeller efficiency. $\endgroup$ – DeltaLima Feb 7 '14 at 18:09
Given how abysmal your average GA plane is in the aerodynamics department, the amount of drag added by antennas is almost nothing.
I have some numbers for a Cherokee 160 from an aircraft performance class -although I make no claims that they're 100% accurateand I'm seeing between 250-360 lbs of drag during level flight depending on the airspeed. Add your 6lbs of antenna drag onto that, and in order to maintain the same airspeed you need at maximum (a density altitude of 10,000 feet) 3 additional horsepower. At sea level it barely registers a change at all.
 - $\begingroup$ I think the drag numbers for the Cherokee series are pretty accurate (as is your math on the horsepower at typical GA cruise speeds). Working with about 130KIAS my math came out to between 1 and 4 percent of engine horsepower going to fighting drag (much of the variation from stuff like propeller pitch & cruise power setting) the antenna drag, or roughly 1-3 knots if you completely removed and smoothed the antennas. Obviously that's the mathematical ideal - in the real world I'd expect less substantial gains. $\endgroup$ – voretaq7 Feb 7 '14 at 17:44
 - $\begingroup$ It's worth noting though that as lousy as light GA aircraft are in the aerodynamics department some antennas are worse - like these "Flying V" beasts. I don't even want to think about the profile drag on that :-) $\endgroup$ – voretaq7 Feb 7 '14 at 17:47
 - 2
 $\begingroup$ _USER_ That thing looks like it might actually generate lift though! $\endgroup$ – Lnafziger Feb 8 '14 at 3:16
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_: according to this document, removing the antennas gained 4 knots in cruise speed (probably KTAS), so seems to be accurate. $\endgroup$ – Qantas 94 Heavy Feb 8 '14 at 4:16

Dead fish can be seen in the Songhua River as the State Environment Protection Administration confirmed that pollutants containing benzene and nitrobenzene contaminated the river after a chemical-plant blast at the upper reaches in Northeast China. Polluted water in Songhua River reaches Harbin, the capital of north-eastern Heilongjiang province November 24, 2005. A stretch of potentially lethally polluted river water headed towards one of China's biggest cities after an explosion at a petrochemical plant. The blast had caused 'major pollution' in the Songhua River from which Harbin and home to nine million people, draws its drinking water.
 19. 19. On November 26 th , 2005, another chemical plant exploded in China, spewing toxic benzene into the water supply of a central region as authorities in the country's north-east struggle to protect millions of people from an earlier spill. The blast at the Yingte Chemical Co in Dianjiang, part of the huge Chongqing municipality straddling the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, killed one worker and forced the evacuation of 6000 nearby residents and the closure of schools. People in the area were warned not to drink water from the local river, a tributary of the Yangtze, because of concern that carcinogenic benzene had spilled.
