What Is the Difference between an Answering Machine and Voicemail?
G. Wiesen
There are a number of differences between an answering machine and voicemail, though both systems are designed to perform the same basic task. An answering machine is typically a physical device that records messages, either as part of an existing phone or as a separate unit. Voicemail, on the other hand, is a service that allows someone to have messages recorded on a separate server or system, from which the user can then access his or her messages from a remote location. Though designed to accomplish the same goal, an answering machine and voicemail are different in how a person accesses messages, where the messages are stored, and how they can be reached by incoming callers.
Some home telephone systems have a built-in answering machine, which is a physical device to record message.

One of the major differences between an answering machine and voicemail is how a person is able to access saved messages. Since an answering machine is a physical device typically located with a phone, someone can usually press a button on the device to hear messages. This type of machine can also potentially be accessed through a remote phone line, though this depends on the model of answering machine. Voicemail, on the other hand, can typically be accessed through phones and computers since it is a remote system, which allows someone to more easily hear his or her messages from just about anywhere.
Some answering machines utilize cassette tapes.

This difference in how the two storage methods are accessed is largely based on how messages are stored in these systems. With an answering machine, a message is recorded and stored within the physical device itself. Voicemail, however, provides a service by which a caller is transferred to a separate system in which messages are received and recorded. This means that recorded messages can be accessed directly from an answering machine, while someone has to access an external system to listen to voicemail messages. Though such a difference between an answering machine and voicemail may be negligible for some people, it can raise concerns for others regarding the security of messages in a voicemail system.
The purpose of both an answering machine and voicemail is to allow someone who is calling to leave a message when no one answers the phone. With an answering machine, as long as no one is on the phone line and no one answers, the call is directed to the machine, which then records a message from the caller. Most answering machines, however, cannot record a message from a caller if someone is on the phone and is unable to answer the incoming call. Voicemail systems, however, typically transfer the incoming call to the voicemail server, allowing callers to leave a message even when the recipient is already on the phone when the second call comes in.

@Pippinwhite -- Here's fun for you. Our office voicemail is horrible. If I want to change my greeting, like if I go on vacation, then I have to change it every time, and change my greeting again when I come back. If I set my voicemail profile to "out of the office," then it rings once and goes straight to voicemail.
This is a problem because the owner knows my number, and that's it. He doesn't know the numbers for anyone else in the building. So if he wants to call and can't get anyone, he gets PO'ed. I wish I could do an "alternate greeting" like I could with our old system, so all I had to do was switch between the two, not re-record the greeting every single time. What a pain!

I hate our office voicemail system. If I get a call and can't get to the phone, I can't access the phone number on the Caller ID log. When it goes to voicemail, the number is gone. If they leave a message, I can call them back, but if not, then I have no idea who called.
In this case, an answering machine would be far preferable, so if I miss a call, I can still see it on my Caller ID log. At the very least, we need voicemail that stores the phone numbers. That would be good. The drawback is that you have to play the messages out loud. You can't hear them through the phone handset like you do on voicemail.

The Chester Lecture Society
If you are interested in the history of gardens and love Ness Gardens then this might be of interest to you.
Tim Baxter, the botanist from Ness Gardens,is giving a talk to The Chester Lecture Society about the founder of Ness Gardens, A.K.Bulley.
Tim Baxter the Botanist from Liverpool University's Ness Gardens talks about Arthur Kilpin Bulley, the founder of Bees Nursery and creator of Ness Gardens, and his insatiable appetite for new plant species brought home by the plant hunters George Forrest, Frank Kingdon Ward and others whose expeditions to China and the Himalayan regions he financed.
Ness Botanic Gardens was born of one man's passionate interest in plants and his desire to share that interest with others.
When the Liverpool cotton merchant Arthur Kilpin Bulley began to create a garden in 1898, he laid the foundations of one of the major botanic gardens in the United Kingdom.
Bulley was interested in introducing new plant species from abroad. As he believed that Himalayan and Chinese mountain plants could be established in Britain, he sponsored expeditions to the Far East employing the renowned British plant collectors George Forrest and Frank Kingdon Ward to prove his theory.
Pieris Formosa forrestii, after George Forrest who collected the seed from China. A popular garden shrub.
In this way Bulley was responsible for introducing hundreds of new plants to Britain. Two species introduced by Forrest, Rhododendron griersonianum and Camelia saluenensis, have both been used in hybridisation programmes resulting in many hybrids common in Britain today.
The beautiful blue Gentiana sino-ornata, in flower at Ness in the autumn, is another of his introductions, and the Pieris formosa 'Forrestii', which can be seen in all its glory on the Specimen Lawn in spring, was actually grown from seed collected by Forrest in China. Part of the Bulley's garden was devoted to the propagation of these plants, and it was here that many of the seeds from the Far East were first cultivated and where his plant and seed company, Bees Ltd, had its beginnings.
This meeting will take place at St Mary's Creative space, which is situated at the top of St Mary's Hill, by Chester Castle.
The venue for the talk is St.Mary's Creative Space by the Castle in
Chester on Thursday 28th February at 7.30 pm.

 Question on how to create a product velocity calculation (and Joe Mako's Order of Tableau Filter Operations)
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I feel like there should be a fairly easy way to do this.

 What I am trying to do is create a 'bucket' for customers based upon the # of transactions that customer had.

 I can manually determine the breakpoints, so I'm not looking for any complex calculation there.

 But what I can not figure out is how to get the count of records by customer_id in a calculation

 I want to be able to say

 If x > 50 then 'High'
 else if x > 10 then 'Medium'
 else 'Low'

 but I am not certain if you can calculate 'X'

 I know you can do this by manually adding them to groups, but I was hoping not to go that direction.

 And I need the 'High', 'Medium', 'Low' available in views, so I do not think a set is appropriate.
 - 1. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 Do you just need to count up the number of transactions by customer and then assign a label?
 If so, you can use a calculated field with:

 SUM([Number of Records])

 to calculate the number of records. If you arrange the view so that the data is split by customers, then it will calculate the number of records for each customer. Whenever you use an aggregating function like SUM() in a calculated field, it will aggregate according to however you layout the sheet in question. In this example, you could then assign the labels using an IF statement, eg:

 If SUM([Number of Records])>24 THEN "High"
 Elseif SUM([Number of Records])>20 THEN "Medium"
 Else "Low"

 END

 See attached for example.

 - 2. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 The problem is I do not necessarily want to split the data by customers

 I want to basically classify each customer as 'High', 'Medium' or 'Low' (think Group) and then use that value in the view

 So that I could I would see
 Region1 --> High --> C1
 Region1--> High --> C2
 Region1 --> High --> C3
 Region1 --> Medium--> C4
 Region1--> Medium --> C5
 Region1 --> Medium --> C6
 Region1 --> Low--> C7
 Region1--> Low --> C8
 Region1 --> Low --> C9
 Region2 --> High --> C11
 Region2 --> Medium --> C13

 I know you can do it using groups, what I was wondering was if there was a way to do this using Calculations.
 - 3. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Joe Mako
 You could be looking for a custom table calculation. If you can provide a sample data set and detail what you expect for a result and interactions you want to allow for, an example can be created for you.
 - 4. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 Use the Sample Coffee Chain data set.

 What I want to be able to do is create a calculation for Products:

 if a product sold more than 400, it is high
 if a product sold 200 - 400 it is medium
 if a product sold less than 200, it is low

 And that classification stays with the product, regardless of other filters, slicers, etc

 I know this can be done creating a second datasource and linking the data sources via the product, where the secondary data source has:

 if sum([Number of Records]) > 400 then "High"
 elseif sum([Number of Records]) > 200 then "Medium"
 else "Low"
 end

 And then dropping that calculation on a view with the product from the original.

 But is there some other way to accomplish this using table calculations that does not involve duplicating the data source
 - 5. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yes, you can do that. Sheet2 in the attached.

 I'm not sure which way is best - that might depend on data volumes and distribution.
 - 6. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 Hmmm that "Late State Filter" is some special kind of voodoo. You're using some derived table calc to act as a filter in such a way that the entire data set is included when the first table calc (total sales for all states) is evaluated?

 I'm guessing this isn't really documented anywhere...?
 - 7. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yeah, I intended to explain that when I posted that example but got interrupted.

 Filters on calculated fields which involve table calculations are evaluated by Tableau after all table calculations have been evaluated (unlike normal filters which are passed to the database and restrict the rows returned to Tableau).

 So the voodoo is just a trick to force a filter that you really just want on a plain old field to be evaluated after table calculations have been evaluated. I just called it "Late State Filter" because I want the filter evaluated later than everything else. The trick is just to use the LOOKUP() table calculation function to lookup the value in the current row (LOOKUP([X], 0) just says lookup the value of [X] that is zero rows away from the current row). You never need to worry about setting the partitioning on that field because the current row is always the current row, whatever your partitions are.

 I've never seen it documented, I think I thought of it for myself (or maybe I got it from Joe). It's a useful trick which often comes in handy.
 - 8. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 That is an excellent trick for sure. There are several times when I wanted to do that, and often ended up using "hide" to visually remove some items but keep them included in the rest of the calculations. This is much better than hiding things though, as the problem with hide is that if your data changes and a new value appears then the new value will not be hidden by default, causing some visuals to mess up.

 Joe used this in an example yesterday as well, so thanks for explaining!

 Having some kind of transparency around calculation order and table calc setups (partitioning and sorting) would be a great improvement to Tableau. It's the one area of Tableau that still feels like voodoo to me whereas they've done a terrific job of making most other things very transparent and intuitive.

 Thanks again
 Mike
 - 9. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I like the trick.

 However, my goal was to be able to get a value that would never change, regardless of how you slice the data. If I go into your view and add a filter on market size to 'Major', the sales change. Most of the time, this is what you would want, but in this case, I want to know the overall total sales, not just the sales within the filtered data.

 I need a way to tell the calculation not to take into account the filters, slicers etc.

 For example, Cafee Latte is 'Medium', and is always in the 'Medium' total sales grouping regardless of any other factors because when you take the data as a whole, that is where it falls.

 Linking the datasources gives me that because the linked data source doesn't appear to take into account the filters and I get the 'whole' values.
 - 10. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Rust: Yes, the linking approach is much better from that perspective. I use blending back to the same datasource for that sort of thing quite a lot. I was just demonstrating what you have to do to make it work with table calculations. But you would have to apply the "late filtering" trick to every filter you wanted to apply to the sheet, and also add that field as a dimension to one of the shelves if not already there to make the table calculation approach work the way you want.

 Mike: I agree about the lack of transparency of order of operations. Joe has made several impassioned pleas for that on the forums over the last year or so - and in fact there is a thread somewhere where one of the Tableau folk (maybe James or Robert I think) made a very good start on that - but the thread never pinned down some of the finer points. So there's still a lot of voodoo.

 The whole topic of Table Calculations still has lots that is unexplained for me. There was a monster thread I started on table calculations about a year ago in which Ross Bunker from Tableau explained quite a lot of that - and left us with tantalising hints of lots more explanation to come in an advanced table calculations document he was writing - but I don't think that ever saw the light of day. It's almost as if there is a reluctance to document the hard stuff adequately for fear of confusing people (so instead we get left to confuse ourselves on our own).

Tomographic Reconstruction with Simultaneous Error Correction
Abstract: The advanced imaging technique, which leads to unquestionably improved clarity of the sample structure, is, however, highly vulnerable to systematic and random errors. These errors are fundamental obstacles to a full realization of next-generation photon science since they can lead to reduced spatial resolution and even misinterpretation of the underlying sample structures.
In this work, we focus on the most common experimental error, the center of rotation shift, and we formulate new physical models to capture experimental setups. Then we devise new mathematical optimization formulations for robust inversion of complex samples. The numerical results are demonstrated on both synthetic and real data.


text: This paper describes the creation of a hypothetical virtual art exhibit using a virtual environment task analysis tool. The Virtual Environment Task Analysis Tool (VETAT-ART) is a paper-and-pencil tool developed to provide structure and guidance to the needs-analysis process that is essential to the development of lifelike virtual exhibits. To illustrate its potential usefulness, VETAT-ART is applied to the design of a historical art exhibit. The first part of the article draws a general profile of our sample application. It introduces organizational-, user-, and task-related factors typically collected when designing or modifying most computer-based systems. The second part of the paper presents the user and task requirements unique to the creation of a virtual environment. Task requirements determine the contents of various storyboards and draw the architecture of the environment. Storyboards describe the images, sounds, sensations, and scents to be found in individual galleries. The architecture establishes a sensible order in which the galleries may be accessed. User requirements determine the human sensory, cognitive, and ergonomic needs relevant to the key activities museum visitors are expected to perform. Activities include visualization and inspection, exploration, and the manipulation of virtual artifacts. Eight goal-categories define user requirements. Visual, auditory, and haptic requirements are determined by humansensory issues. Features relevant to memory capacity, information load, and mental models describe cognitive issues. Physical and physiological considerations are determined by human ergonomics. The third section of the paper suggests usability goals and possible measures of success. In conclusion, limitations and potential extensions of the tool are discussed.

This particular variation of the For Next statement is particularly helpful when iterating through arrays, objects, or collections– cases where you may not know how many items are in the object or collection with out going through them first. (Which would be a waste of resources)

You can use Exit For statements to exit out of a For Each Next loop, if you need to check for a condition inside the loop.
Here is an example of a For Each Next statement:

text: Mineral-melt partition coefficients of vanadium and a series of divalent trace elements (Ni, Co, Mn, Sr) have been determined for ferrobasaltic bulk compositions at one atmosphere. Experiments were performed at constant temperature (1,068 °C) and oxygen fugacity from 0.7 log units below to 2.6 log units above the NNO buffer (NNO–0.7 to NNO+2.6). All experiments were saturated in clinopyroxene and titanomagnetite. Partition coefficients for divalent cations between the liquid and these two minerals are found to be controlled by the ionic radius of the cation and the composition of the coexisting liquid, coefficients being significantly higher in more polymerised melts. Vanadium partitioning is strongly dependent on oxygen fugacity, decreasing by approximately one order of magnitude with increasing fO2 from NNO–0.7 to NNO+2.6 for both clinopyroxene and magnetite. Based upon thermodynamic modelling of the relative proportions of V3+, V4+ and V5+ in our liquids, this behaviour is inferred to be dominated by partitioning of V3+, despite the fact that this valence state is predicted to occur in low relative abundance. Derived values of DV3+ show no systematic dependence on melt polymerisation, but do show a systematic dependence on mineral composition. In particular, our data and those of the literature are combined to show that DCpx/LiqV3+ increases significantly as clinopyroxenes become more iron-rich. The partition coefficients for vanadium determined in this study have been used to model the V concentration of liquid and magnetite as a function of differentiation in a ferrobasaltic system at different oxygen fugacities. These results show that extreme enrichments of V2O5 in magnetite will only occur for a relatively small range of fO2 , between NNO and NNO–1.5. The results of our modelling are shown to be consistent with observations made on the V-rich magnetite layers of the Bushveld intrusion.

text: Increases in wind damage are expected if the intensity and/or frequency of tropical cyclones increase due to enhanced greenhouse conditions (climate change). The paper estimates cyclone damage risks due to enhanced greenhouse conditions for residential construction in North Queensland, and then assesses the economic viability of several climate adaptation (hazard mitigation) strategies. The analysis includes probabilistic modelling of cyclone intensity and frequency, time-dependent increase in wind speed from enhanced greenhouse conditions (global warming), and vulnerability functions of building damage. Increases in mean annual maximum wind speed from 0% to 25% over 50 years are considered to represent the uncertainty in changing wind hazard patterns as a result of climate change. The effect of regional changes to building inventory over time and space, rate of retrofitting, cost of retrofit, reduction in vulnerability and discount rate will be considered. The risk-cost-benefit analysis considering temporal changes in wind hazard and building vulnerability can be used to help optimize the timing and extent of climate adaptation strategies.

Raisins are produced commercially by drying harvested grape berries. For a grape berry to dry, water inside the grape must be removed completely from the interior of the cells onto the surface of the grape where the water droplets can evaporate. However, this diffusion process is very difficult because the grape skin contains wax in its cuticle, which prevents the water from passing through. In addition to this, the physical and chemical mechanisms located on the outer layers of the grape are adapted to prevent water loss.
A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking and brewing.

Potter Royale: Prologue
 Everyone, well, everyone who has read Hogwarts: A History, anyway, knows that Phineas Nigellus was one of the worst headmasters in the history of Hogwarts.1 What fewer, well, fewer than the small group of industrious students who have actually read Hogwarts: A History, know is why. Why Phineas Nigellus is possibly the worst headmaster known to Hogwarts' history is quite a longer story than simply the statment that he was. Why Phineas Nigellus is the worst headmaster ever, in the history of wizarding schools,TM is a little something we have come to refer to as Potter Royale.
 Potter Royale was an "educational experiment" not only in magical theory but also in human behavior.2 Was it possible to isolate students, both present and future, from the same year in a setting outside time in order to test both their magical inventiveness and their "basely Muggle survivalist desire"?3 The answer, if one happens to be Phineas Nigellus, is yes. Not many wizards have been able to positively deduce by what means Nigellus succeeded in his task, but most agree it very most likely involved the highly difficult 'tempus separatum' charm, which some magical theorists have classified as "mast derf (most difficult),"4 and others "sheerly theoretical,"5 as well as a complex runic and arithmantic matrix.6 We could devote much more space to this particular problem, but instead we humbly recommend several tomes by wizards more knowledgeable than ourselves: confer the books cited in notes four through six, as well as Phineas Nigellus: Madman or Genius?, a more recent and very interesting biography by the cavalier, if not slightly misguided, Vesta Rowlands-Grimsby.

What does BUTO mean?
Buto, Butus, or Butosus, now Tell al-Fara'in near the city of Desouk, was an ancient city located 95 km east of Alexandria in the Nile Delta of Egypt. The city stood on the Sebennytic arm of the Nile, near its mouth, and on the southern shore of the Butic Lake. It is the modern Kem Kasir. Buto originally was two cities, Pe and Dep, which merged into one city that the Egyptians named Per-Wadjet. The goddess Wadjet was its local goddess, often represented as a cobra, and she was considered the patron deity of Lower Egypt. Her oracle was located in her renowned temple in that city. An annual festival held in the city celebrated Wadjet. Her image formed the royal crown, the Uraeus, worn by the rulers of Lower Egypt. It encircled their heads and the cobra flare and head extended from their foreheads. Wadjet was closely associated in the Egyptian pantheon with Bast the fierce goddess depicted as a lioness warrior and protector, a sun goddess whose eye later became the eye of Horus or the eye of Ra, the Lady of Flame. The city also contained a sanctuary of Horus and much later, became associated with Isis.

OCAS is equipped to assess both the short and long term tribological performance of a tool material – lubricant – sheet material combination. We furthermore have expertise in 2D and 3D surface roughness measurements. The combination of 3D roughness measurements with tribology assessment provides a unique added value.
This device can be used to carry out scratch tests to study wear mechanisms. Moverover, oscillating movements in combination with independant XY-motion can create an almost unlimited amount of custom movement patterns. In combination with a wide range of loads and selection of the counterbody, friction situations using lower forces or complex motions can be simulated.
In fact, the device can be used for many specific tests, some examples can be found on the dedicated equipment page
The sample is pulled between two clamping dies with a load up to 25 kN. Traction and normal forces are measured, allowing to calculate the mean friction coefficient. Flexible programming of load/distance/speed and the selection of counterbodies allow to simulate friction situations from heavy industry.
By imposing a horizontal movement and a vertical load on the upper test specimen, while the lower specimen is fixed on a table, the long-term tribological performance is assessed as well as the friction force. The frequency of the oscillating movement is adjustable to perform experiments at a given speed for controlled operating temperatures between 20 and 280°C. This test allows to compare and assess coatings and/or lubricants according to DIN 51834 or using customised parameters.
OCAS can measure 2D surface roughness parameters according to ISO 4287, using stylus or contact-free by means of Coherence Correlation Interferometry (CCI). In addition, 3D surface roughness amplitude parameters Sa, Sz; functional parameters such as Sk, Spk as well as volume parameters Vmp, Vmc, etc. can be determined. The highly accurate 3D mapping of the surface can be used to examine friction surfaces and measure volume loss as well.

Choosing the (right) Number of Fingers
There are four variables to consider when choosing how many fingers your gripper may need.
Choosing the Number of Fingers for Your Soft Robotics Gripper
Please note the below are best practice tips to provide you with the best gripper selection
 1. SIZE: In general, the more fingers you can use to handle your product, the better. In the case of a bagel, a 4 or 5 Finger EOAT is best as all 4/5 will fit around the entire bagel. A pen is a great example of a smaller product that would likely require just 2 Fingers.
 2. SHAPE: If a product has more of a square, or circular form factor an EOAT with between 2 and 5 Fingers would be most effective. A product that has more of a rectangular or elliptical form factor would require between 4 and 6 Fingers.
 3. STRUCTURE: Products such as a pen or a dinner roll have enough structure to support their own weight when grasped and will not collapse when gripped. These products would require fewer Fingers compared to a bag of pretzels, which would require more Fingers to support the collapsible structure of the bagged item.
 4. MASS: If a product has a lower mass, fewer Fingers can be used. As the mass of the product increases, the number of Fingers may also need to increase to support the product.

Almost on a daily basis, the hope of owning affordable homes dims as the prices of major building materials, notably cement and iron rods, are rising persistently as if markets are shutting down.
Matters seem to be coming to a head with the hike in iron rods prices outpacing what has been seen so far with the price of cement. In less than 30 days, the price of cement rose by over 100 percent from between N5,000 and N5,500 in January to between N12,000 and N13,000 in February 2024.
Prices of iron rods, also called reinforcements, which come in various thickness or measurements, have also gone up in a manner that diminishes what buyers have experienced with the rise in cement price.
In a matter of days, the price of 16mm rod has risen from N8,500 to N18,500 and that shows exactly N10,000 prices increase, representing over 100 percent increase.
Both cement and rods are very important components of building and construction materials. Rods are of different sizes for different uses. Structural engineers recommend 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 10mm, or 8mm, depending on the strength of the material and other design specifications.
Iron rods are generally used for load-bearing purposes and they include cold steel, pressed steel, hot deformed bars, and mild steel plain bars. The type commonly used in enhancing the strength of concrete in beams and pillars or columns of buildings falls under the hot rolled deformed bars.
These are the most popular of all rod-types and they are commonly used in building houses. They are the ones whose prices have jumped recently. But, for small-to-medium-scale projects, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm bar sizes will economically do the work without adding unnecessary weight to the building, according to experts.
Many Nigerians have lamented the high cost of building materials, contending that the ripple effects are not just about discouraging investment in housing or shrinking the job opportunities which it creates, but also narrowing the chances of more people leaving the house market.
Though Nigerians are still waiting to see the impact of the government's intervention and the presidential directive to manufacturers to reduce cement price, experts are already calling on the government to declare a state of emergency on the building materials sub-sector.
"With a staggering housing deficit estimated at 28 million units as of 2023, and a homeownership level that is just 25 percent of the country's over 200 million population, Nigeria should be intentional about affordable housing delivery," Olufunso Adebayo, a property consultant, said.
He said that the government has to act fast on making sure that what is obviously an oligopoly in the cement industry is broken or make good its threat of opening the borders for cement imports.
According to Smith Ezenagu, MD/CEO of Esso Properties Limited, everybody is talking about cement alone but it's not just it because there are other materials like rod and sand.
"In fact, if nothing is done to curb the current prices of building materials in Nigeria, we might get to a point where shelter will become a luxury and not a basic necessity. Apart from the government stepping in like they are doing to curb these things, I believe this is the time we explore alternative buildings like wooden houses and others," he said in an interview with pressmen in Lagos.
Ezenagu noted that rising cost of materials is a major problem in the real estate industry and the consequence, according to him, is that developers are pulling out of sites and if nothing is done to curb this and get things to a level of stability, there would be a very major crisis in the industry soon.
He disclosed that he started a project in the Epe area of Lagos in October last year when he bought a trip of sand for sand-filling at the cost of N37,000. "Three months after in January, I started a project in one of my estates in Ibeju Lekki, Emerald Garden Estate, and I bought sand at the rate of N90,000. That's an almost 200 percent increase in price in just three months," he lamented.

Written and directed by David Engelbach, America 3000 takes place in Colorado, USA in the year 3000. It turns out a nuclear war occurred in 1992 and that has reduced humanity back to a stone age standard of living under the rule of a fierce female tribe. All men are either living in the wild or slaves! When the leader of the dominant female clan dies, there is a dispute over her vacated position; two sisters vie for the honour and are challenged by the leader of a another clan.
As the story develops we meet two young men called Korvis (Chuck Wagner) and Gruss (William Wallace) who escape their city boundaries and explore the area. During their exploration they find a bunker that once belonged to the President of the United States of America.
In the bunker they find a wide range of guns and ammunition and decide to use these to start a revolution!

Ala kachuu (Kyrgyz ала качуу) is a form of bride kidnapping still practised in Kyrgyzstan. The term can apply to a variety of actions, ranging from a consensual elopement to a non-consensual kidnapping, and to what extent it actually happens is controversial. Some sources suggest that currently at least a third of Kyrgyzstan's brides are taken against their will.
Kyz ala kachuu (кыз ала качуу) means "to take a young woman and run away". The typical non-consensual variety involves the young man abducting a woman either by force or by guile, often accompanied by friends or male relatives. They take her to his family home, where she is kept in a room until the man's female relatives convince her to put on the scarf of a married woman as a sign of acceptance. Sometimes, if the woman resists the persuasion and maintains her wish to return home, her relatives try to convince her to agree to the marriage.
The practice was allegedly suppressed during the Soviet period, but, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, ala kachuu began to resurface. There are conflicting reports on whether it continues in the original way or not. Some sources state that the practice was originally a form of elopement, not a bride theft. Sometimes the kidnapping may be just a wedding formality, where the woman comes along willingly. Some people even consider it an honour to be kidnapped because it demonstrates that the woman is worthy of being a wife.
The history of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan is under dispute. Russian and later USSR colonizing powers made the ancient practice of the nomads illegal, and so with the fall of the Soviet Union and the subsequent independence of the Central Asian nations, many have revived old customs as a way of asserting cultural identity. Rejecting a kidnapping is often culturally unacceptable for women, and perceived as a rejection of the Kyrgyz cultural identity. The practice is also associated with asserting masculinity. Recent studies challenge the claims that bride kidnapping used to be prevalent. According to Kyrgyz historians, and Fulbright scholar Russell Kleinbach, whereas kidnappings were rare until Soviet times, the bride kidnapping tradition has dramatically increased in the 20th century. The rise in bride kidnappings may be connected with difficulty in paying the required bride price (kalym).
According to the United States Embassy, two American women were bride-kidnapped in rural Kyrgyzstan in 2007.
According to a 1992 study, the bride-money for Dungan brides fluctuated between 240 and 400 rubles. Poor Dungans find Kirghiz brides, or marry Tatar or Sart women. Dungans also secretly abduct Kirghiz girls as brides.
Despite its illegality, in many primarily rural areas, bride kidnapping, known as ala kachuu (to take and flee), is an accepted and common way of taking a wife. Studies by researcher Russell Kleinbach have found that approximately half of all Kyrgyz marriages include bride kidnapping; of those kidnappings, two thirds are non-consensual.
The matter is somewhat confused by the local use of the term "bride kidnap" to reflect practices along a continuum, from forcible abduction and rape (and then, almost unavoidably, marriage), to something akin to an elopement arranged between the two young people, to which both sets of parents have to consent after the fact.
Although the practice is illegal in Kyrgyzstan, bride kidnappers are rarely prosecuted. This reluctance to enforce the code is in part caused by the pluralistic legal system in Kyrgyszstan where many villages are de facto ruled by councils of elders and aqsaqal courts following customary law, away from the eyes of the state legal system. Aqsaqal courts, tasked with adjudicating family law, property and torts, often fail to take bride kidnapping seriously. In many cases, aqsaqal members are invited to the kidnapped bride's wedding and encourages the family of the bride to accept the marriage.
In one model of bride kidnapping present in Kyrgyzstan, the young man decides he wishes to marry and asks his parents to pick him out a suitable bride, or is told by his parents that it is time he settled down and that they have found someone of the right background and attributes. (In this sense, it may be similar to an arranged marriage, although the arranging is all on one side.) The prospective groom and his male relatives or friends or both abduct the girl (in the old nomadic days, on horseback; now often by car) and take her to the family home. Once there, the man's relatives may attempt to convince the woman to accept the marriage, and to place a white wedding scarf (jooluk) on her head to symbolize her agreement. They may do this by pointing out the advantages of the union, such as the wealth of their smallholding, to show her what she would gain by joining their family. Families may use force or threaten to curse the woman if she leaves, an effective threat in a superstitious country. Some families will keep the girl hostage for several days to break her will. Others will let her go if she remains defiant; she may, for example, refuse to sit down or to eat, as a sign that she is refusing the proffered hospitality. During this period, the groom typically does not see the bride until she has agreed to marry or at least has agreed to stay. The kidnapped woman's family may also become involved, either urging the woman to stay (particularly if the marriage is believed socially acceptable or advantageous for the prospective bride and her family), or opposing the marriage on various grounds and helping to liberate the woman.
In other models of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan and other areas of Central Asia, the woman may be a complete stranger to the man prior to the abduction. Sometimes the groom and his family, rather than selecting a particular young woman to kidnap, decide on a household; that way they can still kidnap one of the sisters if the woman they desire is not home. As in other societies, often the men who resort to bride kidnapping are socially undesirable for a variety of reasons; they may be more likely to be violent, have a criminal history, or to be substance abusers.
The bride kidnapping process sometimes includes rape. Even when sex does not take place, once a woman has been kept overnight, even for a single night, her virginity is put in doubt. With her honor disgraced, she will have very few other options for marriage. Thus, after one night of capture, the woman is culturally compelled to marry the man. Such immense social stigma is attached to a refusal to marry after a kidnap that the kidnapped woman usually feels that she has no choice but to agree, and some of those who refuse even commit suicide after the kidnapping.

Holding a Scenario
Holding a scenario means to temporarily prevent your GNSS receiver from continuing to move along its scenario trajectory (i.e., halting the trajectory), while the simulation continues to run otherwise (time continues to elapse). This can be done manually, by pressing the [.] / hold key, or by using the SCPI command SCENario:CONTrol, see SOURce:SCENario:CONTrol.
The display will show the HOLD icon in the upper right corner.
Note: Holding a scenario is not the same as arming a scenario (see Scenario Start Variations).
A typical use case for holding a scenario would be to simulate a red traffic light.

William Logan (December 8, 1776August 8, 1822) was a United States Senator from Kentucky.
Born within the fort at Harrodsburg, Logan spent his early childhood in St. Asaphs Fort, receiving private instruction from his parents and tutors. He moved to Shelby County about 1798. He studied law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced. He was delegate to Kentucky's constitutional convention in 1799 and worked as a state commissioner in siting the new Barren County's seat of government (at Glasgow, a new settlement probably named for the Scottish hometown of Logan's father) the same year.
Logan was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1803 to 1806 and again in 1808, and served as speaker two terms. He was a judge of the court of appeals from 1808 to 1812. He was also a presidential elector in 1808, 1812, and 1816. Logan was elected as a Democratic Republican to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1819 to May 28, 1820 when he resigned to run for Governor in 1820. (He did not succeed, instead serving as a commissioner of the Kentucky River Company.) Logan died at his residence in Shelby County and was interred in the Logan family burial ground near Shelbyville. He was the first male child to be born in Kentucky. Daniel Boone's daughter was the first child born.

Use a Henson trust to protect your disabled child's inheritance
Close up of grown up daughter and older mother connecting hands
People with a disability often qualify for disability benefits from their provincial government. The amount they qualify for usually depends on their level of assets or income.
If you have a child with a disability and plan to leave them an inheritance, setting up a Henson trust for them will help to ensure that they do not lose their disability benefits.
A Henson trust is a fully discretionary trust (that is, the trustee has full discretion as to when and what funds are given to the beneficiary) designed specifically to benefit persons with disabilities. The designated trustee manages the trust assets and seeks to protect these assets (typically an inheritance) from being considered as belonging to the disabled person, so that person remains eligible to collect government benefits and entitlements.
A brief history of the Henson trust
In the 1980s, Leonard Henson created a trust in his will for his disabled daughter, Audrey Henson. The trustee had complete discretion on the amount and timing of any payments to Audrey.
The Ontario government tried to disqualify Audrey Henson from receiving her provincial disability benefits because of the money left to her in the testamentary trust.1 In the end, however, the Court of Appeal ruled in her favour. It determined that the trust assets did not belong to Audrey and she had no right to demand anything from the trust. Given this finding, Audrey could still collect government disability benefits.
How a Henson trust works
Because the trustee has full discretion over trust payments to your child, your child's interest in the trust is typically not considered an asset that affects their eligibility for provincial disability benefits. The trustee can use the trust funds to pay for any extras that your child requires, within provincial rules, and can keep the bulk of the trust funds intact for any future needs.
A Henson trust can help you strike the desired balance — maximizing the assistance your money can provide to your child after you are gone, while striving to protect their disability benefits as much as possible. You will have peace of mind knowing that your child will continue to receive appropriate support and benefits after your death.
Benefits of a Henson trust
Setting up a Henson trust for your child has several advantages:
 - allows you to use capital — or other assets, including proceeds of permanent life insurance — to fund the trust
 - allows you to authorize a trustee to pay for things your child requires
 - protects your child's eligibility for future disability benefits by giving the trustee full discretion over trust payments
 - directs the trustee on how to distribute any remaining balance to other beneficiaries at some future point; for example, upon the passing of your child
Choose someone you trust
Your choice of trustee is critical. Make sure this person has the technical ability to manage such a trust, is willing to take the time necessary to assess your child's needs and is available to provide guidance and support. You may wish to consider the benefits of hiring a professional trustee like MD Private Trust Company as sole trustee or co-trustee with a family member. This will ensure that the needs of your child are always the top priority.
Consult with your MD Advisor* to see if setting up a Henson trust is appropriate for your disabled child.
A testamentary trust is created at the time of death of the settlor (in this case, Leonard Henson), as opposed to an inter vivos trust, which is created during the settlor's lifetime.

Parental employment is a main plank of UK policies to reduce child poverty and its associated health inequalities. However, there has been little research on how the different patterns of employment and work that characterise modern families (in their many forms) are associated with children's health and health inequalities. Parental, particularly maternal, employment might lead to adverse or beneficial effects on children's health through a variety of hypothesised pathways (related to economic benefits of working, opportunity costs, substituted child care, etc), with plausible child health-related outcomes including health behaviours, wellbeing, mental health, unintentional injuries, health care seeking behaviours (e.g. immunisation) and parental health.
This project will test these hypothesised pathways between parental (particularly maternal) employment and indicators of child health through: 1) secondary data analysis of the Millennium Cohort Study, a large, nationally representative cohort of children born at the turn of the century; 2) a systematic review of qualitative literature related to the findings of the secondary data analysis, supplemented by primary qualitative research (focus groups and case studies). Findings from the quantitative and qualitative work will be used to draw out how policy and practice might use this information to promote child health.

, remember that the fermentation process may still be ongoing. Don't try to close the lid tightly because the microbes may still be releasing gasses that could build up pressure inside the container.
It is good to open the lid maybe twice a week. Always store it in a cool, dry place. I just keep it under the sink.
Since molasses is a natural preservative, you can keep this fertilizer for up to a year.
How to Apply the Fish Emulsion Fertilizer
The best way to apply the fish fertilizer to your plants is to drench or water your plants with it.
The proper ratio is 20 ml of fish emulsion fertilizer per 1 liter of water. This is roughly 2 tablespoons per liter of water. Mix thoroughly before drenching. Drench your plants twice a week. The fish emulsion fertilizer or fish amino acid is rich in nitrogen so it is best to use it in the vegetative stage of the plants, or the stage when it is focused on producing leaves.
Do not use this fertilizer to spray your plants. The fish emulsion contains oil. The oil may stick to the leaves which causes them to burn under the sun. The oil also covers the stomata which may hinder nutrient absorption and air circulation.
Fish emulsion is best used to fertilize plants from its seedling stage until just before it goes into its flowering or fruiting stage.

Abstract
The present study investigates the development of methyl cellulose (MC)-sodium alginate (SA)-montmorillonite (MMT) clay based bionanocomposite films with interesting wound healing properties. The differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the composite films revealed presence of single glass transition temperature (Tg) confirming the miscible nature of the ternary blended films. The increase in MMT ratio in the composite films reduced the mobility of biopolymer chains (MC/SA) which increased the Tg of the film. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that dispersion of clay (MMT) at nano level significantly delayed the weight loss that correlated with higher thermal stability of the composite films. It was observed that the developed films were able to exhibit antimicrobial activity against four typical pathogenic bacteria found in the presence of wound. The developed films were able to significantly inhibit (10 mg/ml) the growth of Enterococcus faecium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In vitro scratch assay indicated potential wound closure activities of MC-2-4 bionanocomposite films at their respective highest subtoxic doses. In conclusion, these ternary bionanocomposite films were found to be promising systems for wound healing applications.

ASP.NET MVC Razor support
Introduction
ASP.NET MVC Razor is supported via the HTML5 and JavaScript extension, therefore you should ensure that a HTML5 and JavaScript Analysis Unit is configured to cover the relevant source code.
Features
 - Creates objects specific to Razor corresponding to requests to the .NET server, as services, embedded in .cshtml files.
 - Creates objects specific to ASP.NET corresponding to operations which are methods of controllers in the .NET server, embedded in .cs files. This part of the extension is launched by the .NET analyzer.
 - Creates call links between these two kinds of objects through the Universal Linker. These two kinds of objects are identified by a URL, in order to be compatible with the Universal Linker../../multi/com.castsoftware.wbslinker/).
Server part (without specific routing)
The following objects are created:
Icon Description
Alt text ASP.NET Any Operation
Alt text ASP.NET Get Operation / HTML5 Razor Get service
Alt text ASP.NET Put Operation
Alt text ASP.NET Post Operation / HTML5 Razor Post service
Alt text ASP.NET Delete Operation
URL creation
URLs are created as follows:
"Course/Edit" for the Edit method of this CourseController class. This is an operation which may correspond to any type of request from the client, then a CAST_AspDotNet_AnyOperation is created:
public class CourseController : Controller
{
 public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
 {
 }
}
"Course/Edit" for the Edit method of this CourseController class, first Edit corresponds to a POST operation, then a CAST_AspDotNet_PostOperation is created. The second Edit corresponds to any of the other operation types,and depending on this a CAST_AspDotNet_GetOperation object, CAST_AspDotNet_PutOperation object or CAST_AspDotNet_DeleteOperation are created:
public class CourseController : Controller
{
 [HttpPost]
 public ActionResult Edit(int? id)
 {
 }
 public ActionResult Edit(other params)
 {
 }
}
"Course/Edit" for the Edit method of this CourseController class, this is a POST operation:
public class CourseController : Controller
{
 [HttpPost, ActionName("Edit")]
 public ActionResult EditPost(int? id)
 {
 }
}
In this case, the url is "CourseEdit", and not "CourseEditPost" because of the attribute "ActionName" presence, which contains an alias (click to enlarge):
Alt text
Server part (with specific routing)
This section is the same as the previous one (Server part (without specific routing)), except that URLs are modified depending on a specific config routing. Specific routings are present in the following files:
App_Start/RouteConfig.cs files:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
namespace ContosoUniversity
{
 public class RouteConfig
 {
 public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
 {
 routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
 routes.MapRoute(
 name: "Default",
 url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
 defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
 );
 }
 }
}
or some files named <name>AreaRegistration.cs files:
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace XL.XLI.ScoringWebAppTool.WebUI.Areas.DesignProfessional
{
 public class DesignProfessionalAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
 {
 public override string AreaName
 {
 get { return "DesignProfessional"; }
 }

 /* Order is important, as the engine uses fall-through matching logic. */
 public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
 {
 context.MapRoute
 (
 "DesignProfessional_Default2",
 "DesignProfessional/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
 new
 {
 controller = "PreRenewal",
 action = "Index",
 id = UrlParameter.Optional
 }
 );
 context.MapRoute
 (
 "DesignProfessional_Default",
 "DesignProfessional/PreRenewal",
 new
 {
 controller = "PreRenewal",
 action = "Index",
 id = UrlParameter.Optional
 }
 );
 }
 }
}
Razor Client part

Definition - What does Smart Pig mean?
A smart pig is an inspection device that records information about the internal conditions of a pipeline. It is used to detect and measure corrosion and metal loss internally and externally on the pipe wall. Smart pigs can also detect curvatures in the pipeline.
When referring to using a smart pig for a pipeline some may refer to the process as "pigging the pipeline."
A smart pig is also known as a pipe pig, pipeline pig, pipeline inspection gauge, pipeline inline inspection tool, natural gas pipeline inspection tool or corrosion detection pig.
Corrosionpedia explains Smart Pig
Smart pigs are pipeline inspection tools that consist of large pieces of machinery combined with powerful technology that help with the maintenance of pipelines.
These inspection tools provide data on the condition of pipelines, which helps gauge the health and integrity of the pipes. These smart pigs ensure that transmission of the product does not stop due to pipeline integrity issues, which can be disastrous.
Smart pigs can be inserted into the pipeline at a location, such as a valve or pump station, that has a special configuration of pipes and valves where the tool can be loaded into a receiver. The receiver is closed and sealed, and the flow of the pipeline product can be directed to launch the tool into the main line of the pipeline. A similar setup is located downstream, where the tool is directed out of the main line into a receiver, removed from the pipeline, and the recorded data retrieved for analysis and reporting.
Smart pigs may measure several different things from inside the pipeline, including restrictions and deformations of the pipe, as well as metal loss. Odometer wheels are used to measure exactly where the pig is within the pipeline.
Smart pigs are used to detect problems such as:
- Stress corrosion cracking
- General corrosion
- Pitting corrosion
- Anomalous weld seams
- Longitudinal cracks
- Longitudinal grooves

How to Tell a Joke With Unity Timeline
Writing jokes is easy. Telling jokes is hard. In this tutorial, you'll learn about Unity's Timeline and how to create and deliver your very own punchlines!
5/5 4 Ratings
 - C# 7.3, Unity 2020.1, Unity
Games are full of dialog, and how that dialog is delivered is often more important than the writing. After all, writing jokes is easy, telling jokes is hard. That's why stand-up comedians spend night after night trying the same material in different ways to get the biggest laugh.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use Unity's Timeline to create and deliver your very own punchlines with perfect comedic timing. Timeline will take your dialog system to the next level, helping you retain user attention and get even bigger laughs.
In this tutorial, you'll learn:
 1. What Timeline is.
 2. How to trigger custom events with Timeline.
 3. How to implement a custom dialog system from scratch.
Comedian telling a joke
Note: This tutorial assumes you know the basics of development in Unity. If you're new to the subject, check out our Unity for Beginners series first. Also, read our Intro to Unity Timeline.
For this tutorial, you'll need Unity 2020.1.6f1 or later.
Getting Started
Download the project by clicking the Download Materials button at the top or bottom of the tutorial.
Open the starter project, which was created using the 2D template, and look at the folder structure in the Project window.
Folder setup in the Project window
In Assets ▸ RW, you'll find everything you need for the project:
 1. Scenes: Contains the JokeMachine scene.
 2. Scripts: An empty folder for the scripts you'll create.
 3. Sprites: Contains sample art for you to use.
 4. Timeline: Anmpty folder for the Timeline Asset you'll create.
Now, you're ready to start cracking… jokes! :]
Setting the Scene
For your first step, you'll set up a simple scene containing a comedian telling a joke. Later, you'll use Timeline to make the joke appear with perfect comedic timing.
Adding the Text Bubble
Open the JokeMachine scene inside the Scenes folder. Inside, you'll find a very basic scene with a camera.
Start by creating a bubble for the dialog. Add a UI ▸ Image GameObject and call it JokeWindow. This automatically adds some other components, including a Canvas and an EventSystem.
For the Source Image, select ChatBubble from the Sprites folder. Set the Color to something funny, like purple. Next, set the Width to 1000 and the Height to 600. Finally, set Pos X to 90 and Pos Y to 160. This should make the bubble fill the top right of the screen.
Add a UI ▸ Text – TextMeshPro GameObject as a child of the JokeWindow and call it JokeText.
You might see a pop-up to install the TextMeshPro package; if so, do it. Open Package Manager to confirm that you've installed TextMeshPro.
Package Manager showing that you have TextMeshPro instealled
Next, set the JokeText's Width to 600 and the Height to 200, with the default centered anchor. In the Scene View, the outline of the box should fit nicely within the bubble.
Set Font Size in the TextMeshPro component to 50, then center the text vertically and make sure the Vertex Color is different from the bubble color you selected. The default white color is fine.
In the text field, insert the following joke across three lines:
 - There's 10 types of people in the world.
 - Those who know binary,
 - and those who don't.
Funny, right?
Adding the Comedian
Now that you've set up your text bubble, you need someone to tell the joke.
Add another UI ▸ Image GameObject as a child of Canvas for the main character. Call it Comedian.
A suitable character is waiting for you in the downloaded materials. Make it appear by going to the Source Image and selecting Comedian from the Sprites folder.
To position the Comedian, set the Width to 400 and the Height to 400. Then, adjust the RectTransform to place the character to the lower left of the bubble by setting Pos X to -390 and Pos Y to -160.
In the Canvas GameObject, change the default Canvas Scalar component to Scale with Screen Size and the Reference Resolution to 1280 x 720. Finally, set Screen Match Mode to Expand. This will ensure that your friendly comedian makes full use of the stage — regardless of screen size or aspect ratio — without being clipped.
Canvas Scalar with the values listed above entered in it
The UI is now complete. Click Play and you'll see a joke onscreen… but you're probably not laughing. Seeing the text all at once is a great way to ruin the punchline. Instead, it would be better for the text to appear gradually.
Comedian with a purple text bubble saying the joke all at once
Revealing Text Over Time
Ever since the invention of the typewriter, words have appeared one letter at a time. To do that in Unity, you need a script to modify the TextMeshPro component.
Inside Scripts, create a new C# script named Typewriter. Attach that script to the JokeText GameObject.
Now, you're ready to set your bubble text to gradually reveal itself.
To start, open the Typewriter script in your favorite code editor and add this declaration to the script, above the class declaration:
using TMPro; //for TextMeshPro
This will let you access TextMeshPro features.
Next, just inside the class declaration, add these variables:
private TMP_Text textBox;
private float timePerCharacter = 0.05f;
Here's what this code does:
 1. Creates a private reference to TMP_Text that you can use throughout the script.
 2. Declares the variable, timePerCharacter, and set it to 0.05f.
Next, you'll use Awake to set up the TMP_Text component:
void Awake()
 textBox = GetComponent();
 textBox.enableWordWrapping = true;
 textBox.maxVisibleCharacters = 0;
In this code, you:
 1. Cache the reference to the attached GameObject.
 2. Configure enableWordWrapping to true to have multiple lines in the text box.
 3. Initialize the variable maxVisibleCharacters to 0 so the bubble looks empty to start.
To reveal one character at a time, add the following code:
public IEnumerator Reveal(int startLetterIndex)
 int totalVisibleCharacters = textBox.textInfo.characterCount;
 for (int i = startLetterIndex; i < totalVisibleCharacters; i++)
 textBox.maxVisibleCharacters = i + 1;
 yield return new WaitForSeconds(timePerCharacter);
 textBox.maxVisibleCharacters = totalVisibleCharacters;
 yield break;
And here's what this does:
 1. Forces an update of the mesh to get up-to-date information about the text component.
 2. Gets the number of visible characters in the text object.
 3. Reveals one letter at a time with a pause after each letter.
 4. For insurance, shows all the possible characters at the end of the coroutine.
Now, you need something that will start the Typewriter. So, for testing purposes, add the following code:
private void OnEnable()
OnEnable is called when the GameObject becomes enabled in the scene. So, when the text box appears on screen, it will start the coroutine Reveal.
Save the script and return to the editor. Click Play and watch the joke reveal one character at a time.
But... well, it's still not very funny. Before implementing an even better way to deliver the joke, take a moment to consider why jokes are funny.
The text revealing one character at a time, in linear time.
Understanding Comic Timing
The world is full of jokes in many forms. But ask yourself this: Do you laugh more reading a joke, or when you hear a professional tell it?
Try this at home with your favorite comedian on a streaming service. Watch with subtitles on and the sound off, and then watch with the sound on and the subtitles off. Which is funnier?
Spoken jokes are more popular than written jokes because timing is critical to getting a laugh. Rush it and you ruin it. Wait too long, and the audience fills in the gap. Even cartoon strips use the three-box format to control the delivery of the joke.
Those three parts are: the Setup, the Turn, and the Punchline. The length of each is important, the pace of each is important and the pause between each is important.
Professional stand-up comedians rehearse those timings over and over until they get it just right. But how do you control all that timing in Unity? The answer is: Timeline!
Understanding Timeline
Unity's Timeline infrastructure is powerful and flexible. It allows you to create cutscenes, cinematics and gameplay sequences by visually arranging tracks and clips linked to GameObjects in your scene.
In this tutorial, you'll use it to make a dialog system. The infrastructure is made of several parts that all need to work in harmony:
 1. Timeline Asset: An arrangement of tracks you manage in the Timeline Window.
 2. Timeline Track: A sequence of animation clips of a similar type.
 3. Playable Director GameObject: Associates a Timeline Asset with a GameObject in the scene.
 4. Signal Emitter: Contains a reference to a


text: ABSTRACT: In this paper a numerical model for flood propagation in urban areas is proposed. It has been applied to evaluate flooding hydraulic characteristics in terms of potential flood elevations, depths, and inundated areas. Furthermore, the algorithm efficiency and the consequent reduced computation time allow the use of the hydraulic model as a part of a more complex system for civil protection actions, planning, and management. During flood events, the transportation network plays a main role both in rescuing people when they are more vulnerable and in moving people and materials from and toward affected areas. The reduced efficiency of this transportation network is evaluated based on a least-flood-risk path-finding algorithm. The results of a case study concerning the northern part of the city of Rome, show that the numerical model for unsteady flow in open channel networks achieves the proposed aims. It has proven to be able to describe the flood hydraulic characteristics and to be suitable for real-time flood emergency management in urban areas.

The Long Shadow of Port Infrastructure in Germany – Cause or Consequence of Regional Prosperity?
AbstractTransport infrastructure is viewed as an important determinant of regional growth and development. While this prediction especially holds from a theoretical perspective based on endogenous growth theories, from an empirical perspective it is not easy to verify this causal link, though. The main reason for this diffi culty is that it is hard to measure whether transport infrastructure is indeed the exogenous driver of regional development or whether it is rather an endogenous reflection of the higher transportation demand in prospering regions. In this paper, we analyse the long-run effect of port facilities on regional income levels in Germany. Since it is very likely that the "reversed causality" problem applies to our sample setting, we use an identification strategy that is based on exogenous longrun instruments. In particular, port facilities built before the industrial revolution (about 1850 in Germany) can be seen as an adequate instrument for current port infrastructure since they are exogenous to recent economic development. Using German regional data for 1991–2008, our results hint at a positive correlation between port locations and regional per capita GDP, but do not provide evidence for a causal relationship. For the regional variation of population levels as a more general indicator for agglomeration effects, the causal relationship running from port infrastructure provision to increasing population levels holds nonetheless.

Genome Res. 2012 Jan;22(1):115-24
L. lactis is mainly isolated from plants and the dairy environment. Literature suggests that dairy isolates have evolved from plant isolates. In this paper we mimicked the transition from the plant to the dairy environment by propagating a L. lactis plant isolate in milk for 1000 generations. Evolved strains showed faster growth rates and increased fitness in milk. The transcriptome of evolved strains converged towards that of a dairy isolate. We showed that changes in nitrogen metabolism and the down-regulation of genes which are dispensable in the dairy environment are the main adaptations.
The ISME Journal (2011) 5, 929–932
Cooperative behavior is widely spread in microbial populations. An example is the expression of an extracellular protease by the lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis, which degrades milk proteins into free utilizable peptides that are essential to allow growth to high cell densities in milk. Cheating, protease-negative strains can invade the population and drive the protease-positive strain to extinction. By using multiple experimental approaches, as well as modeling population dynamics, we demonstrate that the persistence of the proteolytic trait is determined by the fraction of the generated peptides that can be captured by the cell before diffusing away from it. The mechanism described is likely to be relevant for the evolutionary stability of many extracellular substrate degrading enzymes.
Environmental Microbiology, Vol 12(5), p1260–1270, May 2010
Lactococcus lactis is one of main bacterial species found in mixed dairy starter cultures for the production of semi-hard cheese. Despite the appreciation that mixed cultures are essential for the eventual properties of the manufactured cheese the vast majority of studies on L. lactis were carried out in laboratory media with a pure culture. In this study we applied an advanced recombinant in vivo expression technology (R-IVET) assay in combination with a high-throughput cheese-manufacturing protocol for the identification and subsequent validation of promoter sequences specifically induced during the manufacturing and ripening of cheese. The system allowed gene expression measurements in an undisturbed product environment without the use of antibiotics and in combination with a mixed strain starter culture. The utilization of bacterial luciferase as reporter enabled the real-time monitoring of gene expression in cheese for up to 200 h after the cheesemanufacturing process was initiated. The results revealed a number of genes that were clearly induced in cheese such as cysD, bcaP, dppA, hisC, gltA, rpsE, purL, amtB as well as a number of hypothetical genes, pseudogenes and notably genetic elements located on the non-coding strand of annotated open reading frames. Furthermore genes that are likely to be involved in interactions with bacteria used in the mixed strain starter culture were identified.
