tips for building muscle and body toning in the uae
As part of your muscle building training in Abu Dhabi you will know what reps and sets are, but, is one more important than the other?
Personal Trainer Q & A Category: Muscle Building Techniques
How many reps and sets should you do for a particular exercise?
Even if you've been muscle building training for some time you need to know how reps and sets effect your efforts in the gym in the UAE.
In this article we aim to explain what the difference is between reps and sets and find out if one is more important than the other.
We asked a professional muscle building personal trainer in Abu Dhabi for his advice and tips about reps and sets.
In the world of exercise and training we often here about 'reps and sets' As a personal trainer in Abu Dhabi can you explain what these two phrases mean?

In an exercise routine sets refers to the amount of times you will repeat a specific exercise and reps refers to the amount of repetitions you will complete of that specific exercise.
For example if your workout routine in Abu Dhabi says to do 3 sets of 10 reps on the Incline Bench press. You would complete 10 reps of that specific exercise, take a rest, add some weight or keep it the same depending on the difficulty and then repeat 10 reps again.
You would repeat this cycle 3 times and then move on to the next exercise in your routine.

In body toning and muscle building are the number of reps or the number of sets more important?

When it comes to muscle building or body toning in the UAE I don't believe that reps or sets are more important than the other.
Whats more important is making sure that your training has a constant progression in intensity.
For example if you were to go in to the gym day in and day out doing the same number of sets and reps for each exercise with no increase in weight then your unlikely to see any kind of progression in yourself.
However if you were to start doing a certain exercise for 3 sets of 10 reps and in each training session increased this, for example, 3 sets of 12 then 3 sets of 15, then adding a set making it 4 sets of 15.
Constant progression in each session will lead to steady progress in gaining strength and muscle mass and improving your overall physical development.
This along with good nutrition will help with reaching your body goals. Your personal trainer can provide more advice.
That being said if you are looking to increase muscular size and strength I would look at working in the 6-8 reps range for 3 sets and progress in weight and sets from there.
Resting 2-5 minutes between sets to allow your muscles to recover before the next heavy set.
For muscular endurance and body toning I would focus more on lifting in the 10-15 reps range for 3 sets and progressing in weight from there.
Resting for a shorter period between 30 seconds and 1 minute. Here you would be lifting lighter weights than the above style of training.

For clarification, can you provide some examples of exercise types that require the client to document the number of reps and sets?

You should document the number of reps and sets completed for all the training that you do as long as its easily measurable.
In a crossfit class, or group circuit class in the UAE it would be difficult to record all the reps and sets that you did so in such situations it wouldn't be necessary.
However, in any kind of strength training, for example a leg day in the gym lifting weights and using resistance machines I would highly recommend recording the weights, reps and sets that you do in each workout.
This means when it comes to training legs again you know what you did in the last session and it will make it easier for you to add some kind of progression to your workout, be it weight lifted or reps executed or sets done.
So, in summary, use the following guide when using the reps and sets method during your training in the UAE

 1. Reps and Sets work in unison together
 2. They change depending on your training goals
 3. One is not more important than the other
 4. Document your training when using Reps & Sets as a reminder
 5. Steadily increase your Reps & Sets depending on your goals

Hum Your Way to Better Health
Even though most of us have been humming throughout our lives, there are several powerful health benefits to paying closer attention to it and consciously integrating it into our daily wellness routines. Dive right into a practice session with Brian, then explore the resources below to learn more.
Enjoy a short practice with Brian – first loosening the body, and then exploring breath-connected vocalization.
Slow and low for calm focus.
The benefits researchers associate with humming can be grouped into two general categories. First, we promote a sense of calm focus by slowing down our exhalation when we hum. This process is complex but can be understood as activating the parasympathetic, or "rest and digest" side of our autonomic nervous system.1 When we exhale slowly and deeply, we lower the heart rate and light up areas in the brain associated with reflection and decision-making. That slow and low out-breath sends messages up through the vagus nerve to our brain's alarm centers that "everything is OK" and there's no need for the "fight or flight" response of our sympathetic nervous system.2 This helps explain why we are often encouraged to "take a deep breath" when presented with a potential stress trigger.
Noses are for breathing, mouths are for eating.
The second group of benefits we receive from humming relates to how we exhale. As we hum along to our favorite tune, we vibrate or oscillate the air in our sinuses and nasal cavity. This action naturally increases our production of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that opens our blood vessels, boosts our circulation and even supports our digestion and immune function.3 Humming was found in one study to contribute to a 15-fold increase in NO production in the airways.4 Now, it is important to note that in order to reap these benefits we need to breathe in through the nose to carry these NO molecules down into the lungs. As we like to remind our students, nasal breathing is usually preferred to mouth breathing for a number of reasons, but we'll save those for a future post!
Listen to the bees and let them guide you. – Brother Adam
The benefits of humming were well-known to the earliest practitioners of yoga, who integrated a soft vocalization during prolonged exhalation in an exercise we know today as the Bee Breath, or Bhramari Pranayama. Resembling the soft droning of a bee, this pranayama (breath control) practice embodies some of the vibratory qualities of mantra meditation where words and phrases are repeated to help softly center the mind within the body.5 There is evidence that such vocalizations may trigger the release of "feel-good chemicals" including endorphins and oxytocin, into the blood stream7,8. This helps to explain the virtuous circle common to many mind-body activities, where the more frequent and focused our practice is, the more deeply and consistently we feel its benefits. Humming can become a powerful tool in all of our wellness toolkits. Just like the breath, it's always right there waiting for us, a gateway into the present moment.

Your Breath, Your BFF: Learn Ujjayi Breathing
Your breath, your best friend forever, is with you in every moment of every day. Why not pay a little more attention to your buddy, and try "victorious breath"?
Anchor yourself to the present moment with this fundamental breath practice:
 - Ujjayi breath is 'breath with sound,' or 'victorious breath,' and is created by lightly constricting the back of the throat, like you are drawing out the word "haaaa" or fogging up a window pane.
 - To get started, inhale through the nose, and then exhale with the mouth open, fogging up your imaginary window pane.
 - Gradually work towards closing the mouth while still creating the same throat shape and gentle sound, swirling the air around the back of the throat.
 - Ujjayi Breath might sound like waves gently breaking and receding, and shouldn't be forced or cause a sore throat.
 - When practiced during your yoga postures, ujjayi breath connects the movement with breath, which is one way that the mind-body connection leaves us feeling whole after a practice.
 - In addition, it allows us to keep the breath at the foreground as a means of stilling the mind.
 - Ujjayi breath can be combined with other breath practices as a means of staying present.
Try Ujjayi Breath with Ann- Can you hear the sound of your fans cheering for you?

Proning to Increase Oxygenation
Increasing oxygen saturation levels in the blood may be as simple as doing this pose!
Self-proning or Swimmer's Pose
In last night's Breath Coaching Course to support COVID-19 prevention and recovery, we learned about Resting Prone and Self-Proning in Swimmer's Pose; directly from RN and yoga teacher Elizabeth Gottshalk, who worked in an ICU unit in NYU.
This simple technique – resting on your belly to bring the breath deeper into the back lungs, was shown to increase oxygen saturation in the blood by 10%.
During a pilot study done in March in a hospital in Brooklyn, 50 patients were treated. First, O2 levels were measured at an average of 80% – not high enough to sustain life. Our normal O2 level is 98%. They were given supplemental oxygen through cannula, and the level went up to 84% – still not high enough to sustain life.
When flipped onto their bellies, and given the support of pillows, patients oxygen saturation levels went up to 94%.
Elizabeth Gottshalk, RN and Yoga teacher
Self-proning can be used as home care for the flu and viral infections in order to increase oxygenation. Be sure that your head is higher than your feet – and switch sides every 2 hours. Get up and walk around after 8 hours to move ex cess fluid from the lungs.
Why does this work?
Proning, as it's called, opens up the areas of the lungs that are normally compressed by the weight of the heart when lying on one's back. And there is some thought that the back area of the lungs is more alveoli-rich, stimulating a faster gas exchange.
Proning is currently being studied as an alternative to intubation.
Thank you to Elizabeth Gottshalk for her dedication to

عنوان مقاله: Evaluation of thermal fire hazard of 10 polymeric building materials and proposing a classification method based on cone calorimeter results
نویسندگان: سعید بختیاری، لیلا تقی اکبری، مسعود جمالی آشتیانی
نوع مقاله: ISI
چکیده مقاله: The use of polymeric building materials has been grown in many countries of Middle East in recent years. However, there are only a few fire testing laboratories in this region. Therefore, development of a method for controlling the reaction to fire of materials with bench scale tests is necessary. Providing a framework for classification of thermal fire hazard of materials based on bench scale heat release rate results was attempted. The fire behavior of 10 polymeric building materials was tested with cone calorimeter. The relationship between reaction to fire variables and physical properties of tested samples was examined. The thermal fire hazards of materials were assessed using methods presented by different researchers and with Conetools software. The results revealed that time to ignition, peak rate of heat release, and total heat release are essential variables for determining the fire hazard of materials. A classification method is proposed, which can be used in building codes in countries where the full-scale test facilities are not available. The method also can be used for quality control purpose and evaluation of fire behavior of materials in bench scale by manufacturers. An example of potential requirements for interior finishes for some occupancy types is also presented.

In today's world, it is imperative that organizations continuously innovate because their long-term survival is threatened when they do not. Research has shown that two elements are required for an organization to be innovative: an innovative climate and an effective leadership style. Recent studies have begun to explore the relationship between the ethical dimension of leadership and outcomes of an innovative climate, such as promotion of technological innovation and support for innovation.
While there is evidence that ethical leadership may improve innovative climate, the relationship between the two constructs has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to begin the exploration of the possible link between ethical leadership and innovation climate, along with its five dimensions.
Four hundred eighteen participants who work in a variety of industries and occupations participated in the study. Of this number, 359 participants were online panelists of an online research company, and 59 were students and instructors in Bachelor and Masters level courses at three Oregon universities. The former completed the questionnaire over the Internet, and the latter completed hard copy questionnaires in the classroom.
A 5-point Likert score questionnaire was used in the study; it encompassed the ten statements in the Ethical Leadership Scale (ELS) and the 61 statements in the Siegel Scale of Support for Innovation (SSSI). The results showed significant positive correlations between ethical leadership and innovation climate and ethical leadership and each of the five dimensions: continuous development, ownership, normal for diversity, leadership, and consistency.
This study sets the stage for future empirical research regarding the relationship between two important constructs, both of which are required for long-term organizational success. They provide evidence that at least from the employee's perspective, a leader's ethical behaviors have a positive relationship with multiple dimensions of an innovation climate.

Arrests without Warrant or Judicial Review: Preventive Police Action in Nazi Germany, as of February 28, 1933
Translated from Werner Best, Der Deutsche Polizei (Darmstadt: L.C. Wittich Verlag, 1940), pp. 31-33.
Guidelines for Preventive Police Action against Crime:
In the internal distribution of responsibilities of the police, prevention of "political crimes" is assigned to the Secret State Police [Gestapo]. In other cases the criminal police is responsible for the prevention of crime. The criminal police operates according to guidelines in the prevention of crime according to the following principles:
The tools used in the prevention of crime are systematic police surveillance and police preventive arrest.
Systematic police surveillance can be used against those professional criminals who live or have lived, entirely or in part, from the proceeds of their criminal acts and who have been convicted in court and sentenced at least three times to prison, or to jail terms of at least three months, for crimes from which they hoped to profit.
Further, habitual criminals are eligible if they commit crimes out of some criminal drive or tendency and have been sentenced three times to prison, or to jail terms of at least three months, for the same or similar criminal acts. The last criminal act must have been committed less than five years ago. The time the criminal spent in prison or on the run is not counted. New criminal acts that lead to additional convictions suspend this time limit.
All persons who are released from preventive police arrest must be placed under systematic police surveillance.
Finally, systematic police surveillance is to be ordered despite these regulations if it is necessary for the protection of the national community [Volksgemeinschaft ].
In the application of systematic police surveillance the police can attach conditions such as requiring the subject to stay in or avoid particular places, setting curfews, requiring the subject to report periodically, or forbidding the use of alcohol, or other activities; in fact, restrictions of any kind may be imposed on the subject as part of systematic police surveillance.
Systematic police surveillance lasts as long as is required to fulfill its purpose. At least once every year the police must reexamine whether the surveillance is still required.
Preventive police arrest can be used against the following:
Professional and habitual criminals who violate the conditions imposed on them during the systematic police surveillance of them or who commit additional criminal acts.
Professional criminals who live or have lived, entirely or in part, from the proceeds of their criminal acts and who have been convicted in court and sentenced at least three times to prison, or to jail terms of at least three months, for crimes from which they hoped to profit.
Habitual criminals if they have committed crimes out of some criminal drive or tendency and have been sentenced three times to prison, or to jail terms of at least three months, for the same or similar criminal acts.
Persons who have committed a serious criminal offense and are likely to commit additional crimes and thereby constitute a public danger if they were to be released, or who have indicated a desire or intention of committing a serious criminal act even if the prerequisite of a previous criminal act is not established.
Persons who are not professional or habitual criminals but whose antisocial behavior constitutes a public danger.
Persons who refuse to identify, or falsely identify themselves, if it is concluded that they are trying to hide previous criminal acts or attempting to commit new criminal acts under a new name.
Normally, police preventive arrest is to be used against these persons if it is concluded that the more mild measure of systematic police surveillance will unlikely be successful.

A coworker has been tasked with adding check-in and check-out functionality from within an InfoPath 2010 form. Is this possible?
This is a typical use case:
 1. User is browsing a SharePoint Form Library and wants to edit a form
 2. User forgets to checkout form before opening the form in the browser
 3. User wants to edit form immediate without going back to SP UI to check-out document manually.
 4. User clicks on an 'edit' button we've added to the form which sets all fields to editable. This should also check-out the form from SharePoint.
 5. User goes about editing the document, and clicks submit (another custom button, from what I understand). At this point the form is submitted and should be checked-in to Sharepoint.
Is any of this possible?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
There is an option in List Advanced Settings to require check-out to edit a document. This would solve the problem of the user forgetting. I am not sure you can check-out the document once it is open but it can be done a few ways:
 - sandbox code-behind in the InfoPath form
 - the Lists.ASMX web service

Nice to see someone waking up to reality:
Policy Exchange said most people were unaware that 90 per cent of England is undeveloped.
Its chief economist Dr Oliver Marc Hartwich, writing in Total Politics magazine, said: "Why is there such a gap between perception and reality? Perhaps because people have been told again and again that open land is disappearing.
"England has no lack of open space. Even if urban areas were expanded by 10 per cent this could be achieved by using less than one per cent of the total land mass. That would still leave 89 per cent of the country untouched by development."
More than 1.6 million hectares in England, 12.9 per cent of the land, are officially classed as green belt, Policy Exchange said.
But Dr Hartwich said the green belt was not full of birds and hedgerows and much of it was instead home to industrialised agriculture.
The green belt added to areas protected for conservation or scientific reasons makes up 55.2 per cent of England\'s land, he said.
Green belts are of course a subsidy to those who already own land inside them. The rest of us have to live either more crowded together or further out from the main cities than we would like in order to provide that subsidy.
This also isn\'t new information, it\'s all been pointed out before.

Hair Loss in Rabbits
Treatment and the medications prescribed depends specifically on the underlying cause of alopecia. Medications to treat parasites such as ear mites or fleas, as well as medications to treat bacterial infections, are available. Of course, if the cause is more serious, such as related to a tumor, more drastic measures, like chemotherapy, may be necessary.
Living and Management
Follow-up care after initial treatment depends on the causes of alopecia. If the alopecia is suspected to be the result of "barbering", the two rabbits must be separated to avoid future incidents.
As there are numerous causes leading to alopecia, no specific prevention method can be recommended. However, a healthy lifestyle, well-balanced diet with sufficient protein, and general cleanliness of the rabbit's habitat may be helpful in avoiding needless hair loss.

What is Application Launch Prefetching?
In a nutshell, it is about speeding up the launch of Windows client applications by optimizing the startup IO.
Digging in:
When an application is launched the required code and data pages are unlikely to be read from contiguous locations on the storage device. More often than not part of the file is read, then other parts in the same file, parts of other required files and maybe other parts of the original binary.

In terms of application performance and startup time this is undesirable because the jumping between distant locations on storage slows application startup time considerably. The cost of retrieving random IO compared to sequential IO can be significant.
How significant?
Well, take a look at notepad:
There are parts of 30 binaries in the notepad address space. 30 files we needed to find on the disk!
Consider the (worst case) scenario where none, or very few of the binaries already reside in memory and none of them sit contiguously on disk. Lets say the disk has 10ms of seek latency...
30 x 10ms = 300ms of seek latency just to find the pages required to start the application because we are jumping all over the disk looking for the pieces required by the process.
Of course, the example is oversimplified - there may be pages already resident in memory which can soft faulted into the process address space; not all the process binaries in the diagram are needed for launch, and there are other optimizations at play. (Also, even with prefetch, the IO is not necessarily contiguous in terms of physical location, however, the IO is issued sequentially).
But the example gives you an idea of the problem application prefetch is intended to solve. Also keep in mind that notepad is a simple application... take a look at outlook.exe or internet explorer to see a real list of binaries in a process address space.
(Note: Solid State Disks [SSD's] come up a lot when discussing this feature. Issuing sequential IO is still very beneficial to SSD even without the rotational latency mentioned above. This is especially true on a busy device where we want to get all the startup IO into the queue together)

Anyway - To improve application launch experience the Applaunch Prefetch component was implemented way back in Windows XP as a component of the Sysmain Windows service (%systemroot%\System32\Sysmain.dll).

Applaunch prefetch attempts to improve startup time by optimizing the startup IO of windows applications. Prefetch optimizes for more sequential IO by reading the initial application IO in large efficient batches.

Prefetch achieves this optimization by monitoring the code and data required for an application to launch. The prefetcher monitors up to the first 10 seconds of application startup with heuristics to stop sooner if the launch is completed sooner (when the application stops faulting pages).

The prefetch trace data is then written to a per-application file in %systemroot%\Prefetch.

The trace file names in the prefetch directory are comprised of the application name with a hexadecimal representation of the file path (hash) and a .pf extension.
For example: c:\windows\Prefetch\WINWORD.EXE-2437DA78.pf.
Trace files (.pf) describe the pages that were historically accessed by the application during launch.
You can use Mark Russinovich' s strings application to inspect a prefetch file if you are interested.
This is the notepad.exe example from above:

When an application is launched the prefetcher looks in the prefetch directory to determine whether a .pf file is present for the application.
If the .pf file exists, the kernel component of the prefetcher issues asynchronous IOs to prefetch metadata, data, and image pages described in the trace file (.pf file).
In an effort to further optimize performance, every 72 hours during system idle time the Sysmain service provides information that can be used by the system defragmenter. The information is provided to enable defrag to physically order files and directories in the order they are referenced during application launch. This order is stored in the %systemroot%\Prefetch\Layout.ini file.
The Sysmain service does not run defragmentation, it only provides data for systems that have defragmentation enabled (SSD's have defrag off).
And that's the bulk of it.
The impact is pretty big. In some recent tests we saw between 10% and 80% improvement in application launch times across multiple devices, multiple applications, with multiple configurations doing all sorts of different things.
Interestingly, the biggest improvements are when devices are under a heavy IO load. The smallest gains are on SSD devices with no load at all. Issuing the IO in large contiguous chunks is very beneficial for application launch because the application is not constantly waiting in line behind other IO every time it needs to jump to a different binary.
You could think of it as: One person waiting in line to buy movie tickets for the whole family rather than each person doing it individually. (Especially if they turn up a few milliseconds seconds apart and having a random stranger jump into the line between you).
In the good scenario, you turn up at the counter with your five ticket requests and they are all completed at once. You head on in to the cinema, happy days.
In the bad scenario, you line up and get your ticket. Then you have to wait on your wife, who is behind some dude deciding between pop corn and a chock top. Then, you both have to wait on your son who is behind three other folk in the line... etc. Its going to take a while before you get in to the cinema because you all have to go together.
Well, its roughly the same deal for your application launch IO. We cant start till we fetch all the pages we need for launch.
Have a great weekend.

text: This paper illustrates the use of mixture of experts (ME) network structure to guide model selection for diagnosis of two subtypes of adult hydrocephalus (normal-pressure hydrocephalus-NPH and aqueductal stenosis-AS). The ME is a modular neural network architecture for supervised learning. Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm was used for training the ME so that the learning process is decoupled in a manner that fits well with the modular structure. To improve classification accuracy, the outputs of expert networks were combined by a gating network simultaneously trained in order to stochastically select the expert that is performing the best at solving the problem. The classifiers were trained on the defining features of NPH and AS (velocity and flux). Three types of records (normal, NPH and AS) were classified with the accuracy of 95.83% by the ME network structure. The ME network structure achieved accuracy rates which were higher than that of the stand-alone neural network models.

In either case, you then use
insert-kbd-macro to obtain the code.
In fact the vector/string format is the default, so you could bypass the naming step and immediately ask for the code (typing RET at the name prompt to indicate the most recently-defined macro), and then manually edit the default name of the inserted code.

Green Tree Ant
A Green Tree Ant worker adopts an aggressive stance as it defends the nest.
A Green Tree Ant nest in the foliage of a tree.
An adult Moth Butterfly, Liphyra brassolis. The caterpillars of this butterfly live only inside Green Tree Ant nests where they feed on ant larvae and pupae.
Green Tree Ants, sometimes called Weaver Ants, build balloon-shaped nests among the foliage of trees and shrubs. Groups of workers pull leaves close to each other and 'weave' them together with silk produced by the larvae. A Green Tree Ant colony may consist of many nests spread over several trees but there is only a single queen.
Green Tree Ants occur across northern Australia from the Kimberly region in Western Australia to about Gladstone in Queensland. They are found in all forest types but do not occur in the highlands. Green Tree Ant workers are aggressive and defend their nests by swarming onto the attacker. They cannot sting but bite with their jaws and squirt a burning fluid from the tip of the abdomen onto the wound. Green Tree Ants are predators and also collect honeydew from sap-sucking insects.
The caterpillars of many species of butterflies are tended by Green Tree Ants. The flattened, armoured caterpillars of the Moth Butterfly live only inside Green Tree Ant nests where they feed on ant eggs, larvae and pupae. Adult Moth Butterflies emerge inside the nest and are attacked by the ants. They are covered with loose scales that fall out when they are grabbed by the ants. In this way the butterflies can escape the nest without being damaged.
Workers are about 5-10 mm long and yellowish-green. Workers from the same nest vary in size but all have similar body proportions. The waist has a single, relatively long segment.

The Effects of Regular Exercise on Bone Density, Muscle Strength and % Body Fat in Elderly Women
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of regular swimming, walking and aerobic exercise on bone density, muscle strength and % body fat in elderly women (above average 65-year-old). Thus, the study suggested that there is basic data for osteoporosis prevension, physical fitness development and health management. This research provided as follows ; 1. The bone density increases of lumbar and femur (femoral neck, ward's triangle, trochanter) site were found as ordinal of aerobic group, walking group, swimming group and control group. 2. The measuring site of muscle strength increases and % body fat decreases were found as ordinal of aerobic group, walking group, swimming group and control group. 3. The bone density of lumbar and femur get significant correlation coefficient with back strength, leg extension and % body fat in the control group. 4. The bone density of lumbar and femur were significant correlation coefficient with back strength and leg extension in the swimming group. Furthermore we can find significant correlation coefficient between bone density of lumbar and % body fat. 5. There are significant correlation coefficient between bone density of lumbar and back strength, leg flexion, leg extension in the walking group. Foremore we can find significant correlation coefficient between bone density of femur and back strength, leg extension and % body fat. 6. There are significant correlation coefficient between bone density of lumbar and grip strength, back strength, leg flexion, leg extension. Furthermore we can find significant correlation coefficient between bone density of femur and grip strength, back strength, leg flexion, leg extension and arm extension. But % body fat would be correlated with bone density of lumbar only. 7. The bone density of the sum of four group in the lumbar and femur was correlated with muscles strength and % body fat. Although swimming exercise of elderly women wouldn't effect the increase of bone density, it influence to muscle strength and leg strength increase. However, walking and aerobic exercise were considered as optimal exercise type for bone density and muscle strength increases. It would be suggested that the study supplies some information for increasing physical fitness and bone density if lifestyle and amount of calcium ingestion so on can be controlled and the exercise prescription of individual according to physical fitness level has been given.

Excel IMREAL function
The IMREAL function returns the real coefficient of a given complex number in the form x + yi or x + yj.
Note: A complex number is composed of a real coefficient and an imaginary coefficient. You can apply the COMPLEX function to convert real and imaginary coefficients to a complex number of the form x + yi or x + yj.
Syntax
IMREAL(inumber)
Arguments
 - Inumber (required): The complex number for which you want to return the real coefficient.
Remarks
1. The argument can be supplied as any of the following:
-- A real number whose imaginary part is 0, e.g., 1 is a complex number 1+0i; Or a purely imaginary number whose real part is 0, e.g., i is a complex number 0 + 1i;
-- A cell reference that refers to a complex number;
-- A complex number enclosed in double quotation marks.
2. The #VALUE! error occurs if "inumber" is a logical value.
3. The #NUM! error occurs if "inumber" cannot be recognized as a complex number.
Return value
It returns a numeric value.
Example
In the following table, there is a list of complex numbers. To get the real coefficients of these complex numbers, you can apply the IMREAL function as follows to get it done.
Select a cell (says D6 in this case), enter the formula below and press the Enter key to get the first real coefficient. Select this result cell and then drag its AutoFill Handle down to get other results.
=IMREAL(B6)
Notes:
1) The complex number can be directly entered into the formula and needs to be enclosed in double quotation marks. So, the formula in D6 can be changed to:
=IMREAL("4+2i")
2) The IMREAL function accepts only lowercase "i" and "j".

size coil)
note:The lin coil inductance varies with current.
______
Tr ≅ 3.14 √ L C
The current that flows during retrace is produced by
the C and L oscillation. The retrace time is 1/2 the
oscillation frequency of the L and C.
I2L /2 ≅ V2C /2 or I2L = V2C As stated earlier the energy in the yoke moves to the
flyback capacitor during time 2.
V= the amount of the flyback pulse that is above the
supply voltage.
D.C. annualizes is inductors are considered
shores, capacitors are open and generally
semiconductors are removed. The voltage at the
point "B+" is the supply voltage. The collector
voltage of Q1 is also at the supply voltage. The
voltage across C2 is equal to the supply voltage.
When we A.C. annualize this circuit we will find
that the collector of Q1 has a voltage that ranges
from slightly negative to 1000 volts positive. The
average voltage must remain the same as the D.C.
value.
In the A.C. annualizes of the circuit, the
inductance of the yoke (DY) and the inductance of
the flyback transformer are in parallel. The
inductance of T2 is much larger than that if the
DY. This results is a total system inductance of
about 10% to 20% less than that of the DY it's
self.
The voltage across the Q1 is a half sinusoid pulse during the flyback or retrace period and close to zero at
all other times. It is not possible or safe to observe this point on an oscilloscope without a proper high
frequency high voltage probe. Normally use a 100:1 probe suitable for 2,000V peak. The probe must have
been high frequency calibrated recently.
HORIZONTAL SIZE / E/W AMPLITUDE - CORRECTION CIRCUIT:
There are several different methods of adjusting horizontal size.
SIZE COIL
Add a variable coil to the yoke current path
causes the total inductance to vary with the coils
setting.
The yoke current is related to supply voltage,
trace time and total inductance. This method
has a limited range!
The horizontal section uses a PWM to set the
horizontal size. One DAC sets the horizontal
size and another DAC sets the pincushion and
trap.
The Raster Centering (D.C. centering) is
controlled by a DAC.
On small monitors the retrace time is fixed. On
large monitors or wide frequency range monitors
two different retrace times are available. The flyback time is set by the micro computer by selecting two
different flyback capacitors. At slow frequencies the longer retrace time is selected.
Different S corrector capacitor values are selected by the micro computer. At the highest frequency the
smallest capacitor is selected.
SPLIT DIODE MODULATOR
This horizontal circuit consists of two parts. D1, C1, C2 and DY are the components as described above.
D2, C3, C4 and L1 are a second "dummy" horizontal section that does not cause deflection current. By the
D.C. analyzing this circuit the voltage across C2 + C4 must equal the supply voltage (B+). Deflection
current in the DY is related to the supply voltage minus the voltage across C4. For a maximum horizontal
size the control point must be held at ground. This causes the dummy section to not operate and the DY
section will get full supply voltage. If the control point is at 1/3 supply then the DY section will be
operating at 2/3 supply.
Note: The impedance of (D1,C1,C2 and DY) and (D2,C3,C4 and L1) makes a voltage divider. If the
control point is not connected then there is some natural voltage on C4. Most split diode monitors are built
to pull power from the dummy section through L2 to ground. A single power transistor shunts from the
control point to ground. It is true that power can be supplied from some other supply through L2 to rise the voltage on C4. For maximum range a bi-directional power amplifier can drive the control point.
The most exciting feature if the split diode modulator is that the flyback pulse, as seen by the flyback
transformer, is the same size at all horizontal size settings.
HORIZONTAL SWITCH/DAMPER DIODE
On the right hand side of the screen, the H. switch transistor conducts current through the deflection yoke.
This current comes from the S correction capacitors, which have a charge equal to the effective supply
voltage. The damper diode allows current for the left hand side of the screen to flow back through the
deflection yoke to the S capacitors.
FLYBACK CAPACITOR
The flyback capacitor connects the hot side of the yoke to ground. This component determines the size and
length of the flyback pulse. 'Tuning the flyback capacitor' is done to match the timing of the flyback pulse
to the video blanking time of the video signal. The peak flyback voltage on the horizontal switch must be
set to less that 80% if the Vces specification. The two conditions of time and voltage can be set by three
variables (supply voltage, retrace capacitor and yoke inductance) .
S CAPACITOR
The S capacitors corrects outside versus center linearity in the horizontal scan. The voltage on the S cap
has a parabola plus the DC horizontal supply. Reducing the value of S cap increases this parabola thus
reducing the size of the outside characters and increasing the size of the center characters.
S Capacitor value: Too low: picture will be squashed towards edges.
Too high: picture will be stretched towards edges.
By simply putting a capacitor in series with each coil, the sawtooth waveform is
modified into a slightly sine-wave shape. This reduces the scanning speed near the
edges where the yoke is more sensitive. Generally the deflection angle of the electron
beam and the yoke current are closely related. The problem is the deflection angle
verses the distance of movement on the CRT screen does not have a linear effect.
BASE DRIVE CURRENT
The base drive resistor determines the amount of
base drive. If the transistor is over driven the Vsat
looks very good, but the current fall time is poor.
If the base current is too small the current fall time is very fast. The problem is that the transistor will have many volts across C-E when closed.
The best condition is found by placing the transistor in the heaviest load condition. Adjust the base resistor for the least power consumption then increase the base drive a small amount. This will slightly over drive the base.

The "Ladybird Stitch" from Marianne Kinzel's lace knitting books has long interested me. Scroll down to Figure 6 in this embedded excerpt from The First Book of Modern Lace Knitting to see a picture of the fabric:
I have found it useful in graphing my own patterns to sometimes represent groups of stitches that usually are shown as several symbols as one symbol. This has helped me, for example, to understand better the stitch structure of the "Ladybird" pattern. If you replace the "yo, k1-b, yo" group with a single symbol, it makes for a more compact chart that more clearly shows the proportions of the knitted piece. Here's a graph of the ladybird mesh to show what I mean (edge stitches aren't graphed correctly):
A full repeat of the ladybird pattern (shown on the graph inside the heavy lines) when knitted really is approximately square. And using the "yo, k1-b, yo" symbol means that the placement of the yarnover symbols in the chart more accurately represents what is going on in the knitted piece. The "yo, k1-b, yo" group is approximately equal in size to the single yarnovers since the latter are strained horizontally by the sudden decrease in stitches on the rows in which they appear.
Here's the same pattern when graphed as Kinzel does it in her Modern Lace Knitting books:
Done this way, there's no way to tell from the graph that the yarn overs form 45˚ diagonals in the knitted piece, or that the proportions of the pattern when knitted are square, roughly the same as garter stitch (one stitch = two rows), though much less dense a fabric! The graph may be a little easier to read, but that is a matter of taste, I think. And on patterns like this one, where the stitch count changes from row to row, one square in the graph can't equal one stitch. Mrs. Kinzel uses blank squares to address the imbalance.
More of my idiosyncratic charting style here:

Australians have high expectations of tests in healthcare. But are they higher than warranted? And are they impacting on healthcare expenditure? While many people undoubtedly benefit from early diagnosis through testing, research shows that some tests may lead to unnecessary and costly, if not harmful, treatment. Critically, the role of tests is often not straightforward; while they might lead directly to treatment, they might also prompt a cascade of further—and potentially unwarranted—tests. Notwithstanding these issues, Australia's overall use of diagnostic imaging and tests has increased significantly in recent years, which is contributing to rapidly rising healthcare costs. Despite this growth, we know little about the sociocultural factors that underpin this use. In particular, we have limited understanding of the factors shaping the optimistic expectations for particular tests and for testing in general in healthcare.
Responding to these gaps in knowledge, this project aims to understand the sociocultural processes underpinning optimism for the use of testing technologies in healthcare. The Australian national cancer screening programs and routine clinical practice will be used as case studies to determine the mechanisms by which optimistic expectations of healthcare testing emerge and function among different stakeholder communities. Insights from this study will ultimately help to inform the development of policies and strategies that ensure a cost-effective use of healthcare resources.

View and Teach was a series of films intended to help teachers of English as a second language use the direct method in schools. The films presented classroom scenarios, with the roles of 'teachers in training' acted out by students from the University of London. The action drew partly on the experience of teaching non-native speaker learners in UK schools, and children from three London schools played a part in filming. The Introduction deals with the 'general argument of the films', advice to teachers, and anticipated questions from teachers, for example, concerning examinations and the appropriateness of materials for different age groups.

Configuring Internal Socket Management
Jump to: navigation, search
Table of Contents >> Appendix A: Configuration Notes
Socket Lookup
A socket is not inserted in the socket lookup table until it is either connected or bound to a non zero port for TCP, bind without restriction for UDP, sendto(), or listen() occurs. If a TCP socket is bound to port zero, then getsockname() will not return the selected random port until connect(), or listen() has been called. So an application should call getsockname() after listen(), if it binds to port zero.
The socket lookup table has been split into two separate tables, one for non TCP sockets, and one for TCP sockets. The TCP socket lookup table now uses the 4-tuple as a search criteria (i.e. the local address is included in the search). Prior to this the local address search was done in a separate linked list. This is to speed up the TCP sockets lookup.
We have conditionally added a hash table for each socket lookup table. The two hash tables can be used either with a doubly linked list per bucket, or a Red Black tree per bucket. Using a doubly linked list or using a Red Black tree per bucket is a compile time decision.
 - By default the Red Black tree code is not enabled.
 - By default the hash tables are enabled (if TM_OPTIMIZE_SIZE is not defined), and the hash tables' sizes are TM_SOC_INDEX_MAX.
 - The hash table sizes are configurable at compile time or at run time, but prior to starting the stack.
 - You can use
 1. two hash tables with a doubly-linked list per bucket (default)
 2. two hash tables with a red black tree per bucket
 3. no hash table with a single doubly-linked list per socket lookup table
 4. no hash table with a single red black tree per socket lookup table.
Configuring the Hash Table sizes
By default, (if TM_OPTIMIZE_SIZE is not defined) two hash tables are dynamically allocated with TM_SOC_INDEX_MAX buckets. Each bucket's size is either the size of a pointer (if TM_USE_SOCKET_RB_TREE is defined), or the size of 2 pointers and an integer otherwise. The number of buckets is configurable at compile time, or run time.
Compile Time Configuration
Note Note: If TM_OPTIMIZE_SIZE is defined, then the hash tables are not enabled.
Run Time Configuration
 - To change the number of buckets in the non TCP sockets hash table at run time, call tfInitTreckOptions() with the TM_OPTION_SOTB_NON_CON_HASH_SIZE option name.
Enabling the Red Black Trees
By default the hash tables use a doubly-linked list for sockets that end up in the same bucket. This can be changed to a red black tree at compile time. To do so, define TM_USE_SOCKET_RB_TREE in <trsystem.h>.
Note Note: If TM_USE_SOCKET_RB_TREE, and TM_DISABLE_SOCKET_HASH_LIST are both defined, then a single red black tree per socket look up table will be used.
Enable the Red Black tree, if you have limited data space, and you need to either disable the hash tables, or reduce their sizes dramatically and you will use a lot of sockets, and you have enough ROM for the Red Black tree code.
UDP Performance Enhancement
For applications that are using hash table socket lookup (i.e. TM_DISABLE_SOCKET_HASH_LIST is not defined), the standard UDP socket lookup algorithm narrows down the search by hashing on the destination port of the incoming UDP datagram. This is perfect for most applications, as it executes fast and usually gets to a list of only one or two sockets.
For applications that have thousands of UDP sockets with many sockets bound to the same local port, the standard search can degrade to a linear search. By uncommenting the following compile time macro in your trsystem.h, you enable code that hashes on both source and destination ports and IP addresses as well as address family (IPv4 or IPv6) and device binding (only if TM_USE_STRONG_ESL is defined). In some applications, this detailed hash lookup can arrive at the destination UDP socket faster than the standard algorithm.
#define TM_USE_UDP_LOOKUP_PERF
Because of the diverse binding combinations, this feature may require multiple passes through the hash lookup algorithm before it finds a relevant socket. As a result, most applications will see a slight decrease in performance when TM_USE_UDP_LOOKUP_PERF is defined. The following list gives some examples of the iterative search process:
 - sockets may be bound to a particular local IP address or any local IP address,
 - sockets may be bound to a particular remote IP address and port if connect() is used,
 - sockets may be bound to a particular interface if Strong ESL is used,
 - a socket may be bound to TM_WILD_PORT to receive on any local port,
 - IPv4 datagrams can be received by IPv6 sockets if there is no IPv4 socket bound to the incoming port and the IPv6 socket has not been restricted by the setsockopt() IPV6_V6ONLY option.
Random Port Insertion
When a socket is inserted in a socket lookup table, and the user did not bind the socket, a random port is selected. Selecting a random port that does not conflict when thousands of sockets are used could take a lot of CPU time. If the number of concurrent sockets reaches a pre-defined configurable threshold, and the stack detects a port collision when picking a random port, the stack will switch to selecting increasing port numbers (instead of random port numbers) so that the stack does not spend too much time finding a random port with no conflict. This threshold is configurable at both compile time and run time. By default the threshold is 304.
TCP sockets threshold
Threshold of concurrent TCP sockets before we switch from a random local port selection to a sequential local port selection is given by the TM_SOTB_TCP_CON_PORT_THRS macro. The user can redefine the TM_SOTB_TCP_CON_PORT_THRS in <trsystem.h>, to change the threshold of concurrent TCP sockets that will cause the stack to switch to a sequential port selection when a port conflict occurs when inserting a connecting socket in the socket table lookup. The user can also change this threshold at run time at any time using the tfSetTreckOptions() API, with the TM_OPTION_SOTB_TCP_CON_PORT_THRS option.
Non TCP sockets
Threshold of non TCP sockets before we switch from a random local port selection to a sequential local port selection is given by the TM_SOTB_NON_CON_PORT_THRS macro. The user can redefine the TM_SOTB_NON_CON_PORT_THRS in <trsystem.h>, to change the threshold of concurrent non TCP sockets that will cause the stack to switch to a sequential port selection when a port conflict occurs when inserting a non TCP socket in the socket table lookup. The user can also change this threshold at run time at any time using the tfSetTreckOptions() API, with the TM_OPTION_SOTB_NON_CON_PORT_THRS option.

How 'swapping bodies' with a friend changes our sense of self
A new study shows that, when pairs of friends swapped bodies in a perceptual illusion, their beliefs about their own personalities became more similar to their beliefs about their friends' personalities. The findings suggest that this tie between our psychological and physical sense of self is involved in memory function: when our mental self-concept doesn't match our physical self, our memory can become impaired.

Human Computing and Crowdsourcing in Search
Human Computation is an emerging paradigm that organizes human efforts to carry out a computation or task that computers cannot do well, like detecting objects in videos. In this paradigm, humans become a type of processing unit and crowdsourcing serves as a tool for distributing computations to humans. In recent years, crowdsourcing has been popularized by commercial crowdsourcing platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk and has reached an industrial scale, involving millions of Internet users who offer the human processing power. However, unlike CPUs, humans are, well, humans and are influenced by a great many things, including their own motives and aspects of the computation task.
In this lecture we use the evaluation of search engines as a context for studying various aspects of crowdsourcing. In order to measure the performance of a search engine human assessments of search results are needed. Since online search engines involve millions of queries a day and at least 10 times as many retrieved documents, such a task seems like a perfect match for human computing. However, there are many issues to consider, as we will show through a number of experiments conducted using Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

Five tips for reducing Exchange Server support costs
A few simple steps can make a big difference in what you spend to support your Exchange Server organization. Brien Posey shares several practical suggestions.
The current economic climate continues to drive organizations to look for ways to reduce IT costs. Here are five things you can do to cut costs on Exchange Server support.
1: Take advantage of Role Based Access Control
One of the best ways to reduce Exchange Server support costs (while reducing your own workload in the process) is to take advantage of Exchange 2010's Role Based Access Control (RBAC) feature. RBAC allows you to delegate degrees of administrative permissions to non-Exchange administrators so that they can perform specific tasks.
For example, there is a management role group named Help Desk, to which you can assign help desk staff. Members of this role group can perform basic administrative tasks, such as modifying user information (address, phone number, etc.). It is worth noting that in Exchange Server 2010, end users can be allowed to modify their own information through Outlook Web App. As strange as it may sound, members of the Help Desk group are allowed to modify only information that users are allowed to modify themselves. Therefore, if you prevent users from modifying their own information, you will block the Help Desk from doing so as well.
The Help Desk Group is only one of the RBAC groups. You can use RBAC to provide truly granular Exchange Server permissions. For instance, you could potentially lighten the administrative burden by designating another staff member to act as a recipient manager (which would allow that person to create and maintain user mailboxes).
2: Proactively monitor the server's health
Another major step you can take to reduce Exchange Server support costs is to be proactive in your server maintenance. A number of tools are on the market for monitoring Exchange Server's health, and I highly recommend investing in such a tool. Although you'll have to spend some money up front, the tool will likely reduce your costs in the long run. Exchange Server monitoring tools are designed to spot small problems so that you can correct them before they turn into big problems. This not only helps reduce down time, but it also reduces costs by doing the troubleshooting for you.
3: Use dedicated Exchange servers
Whenever possible, you should run Exchange on dedicated servers (physical or virtual) rather than attempting to host additional roles, services, or applications on an Exchange server. Using dedicated servers eliminates the possibility of an unrelated service or application interfering with Exchange.
Using dedicated servers also helps improve security because a dedicated server has a smaller attack surface than a server that's performing multiple duties. Furthermore, if anything does go wrong with the Exchange server, the problem is often easier to troubleshoot if Exchange is the only thing running on the server.
4: Build redundancy into your Exchange Server organization
Few things drive up support costs the way an unanticipated failure does. Several types of costs are incurred when a server fails. First, there is the cost of paying the IT staff to fix the problem. There may also be costs associated with replacement parts or support calls to Microsoft. Although such costs can be significant, they are minor in comparison to the costs that occur because of how the failure affects the end users.
If users are affected by a failure, they can't properly do their job. At best, this means they're being paid to wait around for the server to come back up. At worst, an Exchange Server failure translates directly to lost revenue because customers are unable to communicate with employees.
While you may not always be able to completely prevent failures from occurring, you can prevent users from being affected by those failures by building redundancy into your Exchange Server organization. Microsoft supports failover clustering only for mailbox servers, but you can achieve redundancy for other Exchange Server roles through load balancing.
5: Periodically run the Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer
Finally, I recommend that you periodically run the Exchange Server Best Practices Analyzer (ExBPA). In case you're not familiar with the ExBPA, it's a free tool that analyzes your Exchange Server organization to make sure your configuration adheres to Microsoft's recommended best practices. The Best Practices Analyzer started life as a downloadable tool, but it's now included in the Exchange Management Console Toolbox section in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.
I recommend periodically running the tool because Microsoft is known to change its recommendations from time to time. As Microsoft's recommended best practices evolve, those changes are reflected in the ExBPA. As a general rule, I suggest running the ExBPA once a month or any time you make a configuration change.

A team of scientists of the Irish Marine Institute have spent three weeks at sea in order to study Ireland's ocean depths, 300 nautical miles off the island's western shores. This expedition has made new discoveries thanks to the Institute's remotely operated 'Holland 1' that shipped aboard the ILV Granuaile. The ROV's high-definition footage featured a number of 'newcomers' to Irish waters, including a species of octocorallia of the genus Corallium which turns itself into giant ventilators with a delicate porcelain-like skeleton, as well as an entirely new species of black coral.
The study confirmed that the ocean depths off the coast of Ireland are a refuge for these rare and delicate deep-sea black corals. The team of scientists also noted potential zones of reefs of sponges on the Rockall Bank—a very unusual accumulation of dead and living sponges forming a complex habitat for many other marine creatures.


text: The paper is focused on the solar irradiance estimation in clear-sky conditions and an aerosol-loaded atmosphere. Two parametric models developed by our group and three empirical models are tested. The estimates of the parametric models are based on three atmospheric parameters (ozone, nitrogen dioxide and water vapor column content) and the aerosol properties quantified by means of several specific parameters (Ångström turbidity coefficient, single scattering albedo, asymmetry factor). The empirical models contain no inputs for aerosol properties. Data collected from 10 stations were used to test the models. The inputs for the parametric models were retrieved from Aerosol Robotic Network - AERONET. Global and diffuse solar irradiance data at high-quality standards were retrieved from the Baseline Surface Radiation Network BSRN. A comparative analysis of the models' accuracy in estimating clear-sky solar irradiance is discussed from the perspective of aerosol proprieties.

Assessing plant protection practices using pressure indicator and toxicity risk indicators: analysis of therelationship between these indicators for improved risk management, application in viticulture.Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2015 Jun; 22(11):8058-74.ES
The excessive use of plant protection products (PPPs) has given rise to issues of public and environmental health because of their toxicity. Reducing the use of toxic PPPs and replacing them with products that are less toxic for human health and the environment have become socially, environmentally and economically indispensable. In this article, we assess the plant protection practices of a small group of winegrowers practicing "integrated agriculture" in the south of France, in order to measure the benefit of using toxicity risk indicators as a decision-support tool for different players in land management. An analysis of plant protection practices using indicators of the risk to operator health and the environment (IRSA, IRTE), together with a frequency-of-treatment indicator (TFI), enabled us to (i) show the variability of these indicators depending on the production system and farmers' pesticide use strategies and (ii) calculate correlations between these indicators. This analysis of plant protection practices at different scales (farm, field), carried out in collaboration with the growers, enabled us to perform an initial validation of decision-support tools for determining risk management strategies regarding the use of pesticides.

More Ideas
 - Automatically remove blocks that contain predefined words, for example, "all rights reserved". HTML::ContentExtractor does this.
 - Use a different HTML segmentation logic. Using the DOM for segmentation may be inefficient in complex, markup-heavy pages. On the other end of the scale, primitive websites that don't embrace "semantical markup" may be impossible to segment using DOM.
 - Use Bayesian filters to find blocks of text that are not part of the content. For example, various copyright notices and sponsored links.
 - Invent a heuristic to filter out comments on blog posts/forums. Here's an idea – find a short text block that mentions "Comments" and has a relatively large text block before it.

 1. Roman says:
 But in my case the amount of linked text is 0 (zero) while the amount of unlinked text (caption) as slightly above zero (several words). Or the class including any other text within anchor (like 'alt' attributes and so on)?
 2. Jānis Elsts says:
 To clarify, it doesn't care about the amount of linked text, it counts links. The class doesn't care if the links contain text or not.
 3. Roman says:
 Thank you, Janis!
 4. Roman says:
 Hi, Janis again!
 I still struggling with some unexpected behaviour of this class.
 Please try to extract the content from this page: _URL_
 On my side some part of javascript code coming alone to the extraction.
 As I can see there are some " strings within scripts and class goes crazy because of this (it is just my guess – but the code coming through the extractor begins just after the " string).
 Can you check my problem?
 Thank you in advance!
 5. Jānis Elsts says:
 That look like some kind of a bug in the DOM parser. Maybe it's caused by the fact that the page claims to be "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" but isn't even close to valid (100+ validation errors). In any case, there's not much I can do about that.
 6. Roman says:
 Thank you, Janis!
 I've get your idea: this source page is wrong initially.
 7. Roman says:
 Janis!
 I'm struggling to preserve images during extraction.
 All that I've done is commented out 'img' string in $removed_tags array:
 var $removed_tags = array(
 'script', 'noscript', 'style', 'form', 'meta', 'input', 'iframe', 'embed', 'hr',// 'img',
 '#comment', 'link', 'label'
 );
 However most of the time images still cutting out. As I can understand it's taking place due to low links/text ratio in the containers with these images.
 For example this page: _URL_
 will not contain any images despite that I removed 'img' string tag from $removed_tags array
 Could you recommend any adjustment to the class to make it possible to preserv such images?
 Thanks in advance!
 8. Jānis Elsts says:
 You could try changing the class so it treats img tags as content. One way to do that would be to modify ContainerRemove() and make it increment $word_cnt by some empirically chosen amount every time it finds an img node.
 9. Roman says:
 What I've done for the moment I replaced '<img' tags with a placeholders beforehand and replace them back afterwords:
 function extract($text, $ratio = null, $min_len = null){
 // begin of additional code 1
 $pos = 0;
 while($pos = stripos($text,'',$pos);
 $text = substr($text,0,$pos).'%%IMGCLOSINGBRACKET%%'.substr($text,$pos+1);
 }
 $text = str_ireplace('tree = new DOMDocument();
 // .........
 // rest part of extract() method
 // .........
 // begin of additional code 2 in the end of extract() method
 $result = $this->tree->saveHTML();
 $result = str_replace('%%IMGOPENINGBRACKET%%','',$result);
 return $result;
 // end of additional code 2

 It works. However I can imagine that this cen lead to some unexpected behaviour.
 Thank you for keeping track of your class 🙂
 10. Roman says:
 Hmmmm… It's weird: the code I posted was slightly modified by the blog's engine.
 However I think that you have an idea of what I made.
 11. Jānis Elsts says:
 I've fixed the code somewhat.
 12. Roman says:
 Hi! Now it looks beautiful but still incorrect. 🙂
 If you want I can send the code to your email.
 If 'yes' please send your address to r.a.matveev at-sign gmail dot com.

 Sorry, my code debugging services are not available at this time 🙂
