Appointed on the nobles screen.
 - Allows large production orders.
 - Allows workshop profiles to be set.
The manager is a noble that allows players to create multiple production orders, and also lets them set up profiles for workshops. This means that players can rapidly dispatch any number of jobs from a single screen, without having to add tasks to individual workshops.
Relevant Skills[edit]
A certain set of skills are relevant for any manager. Furthermore, certain personality traits influence whether any experience is gained in the skill. There are soul attributes that affect the skills, and other skills that affect the same attribute's cross-training. The ones relevant for a manager are as follows:
Skill (relevant for manager) Personality Trait (needed to gain social skill) Attribute (affected by social skill)
Body Soul
Administrator Organizer Analytical ability
Social awareness
Social - Other Consoler Straightforwardness (Honesty) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
Pacifier Cooperation (Compromising) > 39 Linguistic ability
Social awareness
The better match with the skills, traits and attributes in the table above, the better of a manager a dwarf will be. Try to avoid traits that halt experience gain for a relevant skill, otherwise time will be lost training a dwarf who will never get better at that skill.
A manager only performs his duties in his office, so it is absolutely necessary to assign one. Since only a meager office is required, a single chair in the dining room will suffice.
 1. Hit n to enter the Nobles screen
 3. Build a chair somewhere or locate an existing chair.
At this point the red [REQUIRE] under "Manager" should have disappeared from the nobles screen and you should be able to queue up work orders.
It is trivially easy for a manager to get experience in the organizer skill. Just queue a lot of jobs to produce 30 of something, such as Collect Webs, which appears first on the list. The manager will gain experience when validating the order, not when the order is finished. You can cancel the order after it is validated if you wish.
Work orders[edit]
Creating a work order works like this:
 2. Press q to create a new work order
 4. Use the directional keys to select the specific type of item you want.
 5. Enter the quantity of items you want to produce (0 for a perpetual order).
 6. Your work order will appear in the list.
If there are at least 20 dwarves total then the manager will need to go to his office to "validate" each work order before it is acted on. If a manager is somehow occupied with other things then this might take a while, so in larger forts you might want to make sure your manager is not overly burdened with other labors. (For example, disabling hauling and cleaning for the manager might be a good idea.) The manager will also not perform his or her duties if socializing, drinking, eating, asleep or otherwise incapacitated (perhaps due to wounds). Managers don't require writing materials such as paper or scrolls to validate production orders.
To see if an order is validated, check the manager screen — validated orders will have a green checkmark, while invalidated orders will have a red X. Job orders will remain enqueued until the manager is once again in his (or her) office. An order can have the prefix of 'Ready', 'Checking' or 'Active'. A 'Ready' order only needs to be validated by the manager to become 'Active'. A 'Checking' order is waiting for its conditions to be satisfied: it will then become 'Active'.
An order can be set as a One-time order, or as a Repeating order that can restart when completed (conditions checked daily, monthly, seasonally or yearly), in the conditions menu.
You can edit the order in several ways: You can remove it, raise its priority, make it max (top) priority, change its conditions or details, or Enter limit the amount of workshops the order can be assigned to.
Conditions can be added to a work order by pressing c, and can either be based on the amount of an item in your fortress, or can depend on a currently ongoing work order.
Item conditions: To make life easier you can add item conditions from either the reagents/materials or products, or you can even add a new item condition yourself. When an item condition is selected, the following can be changed: The type (cabinets, bins etc.), material (obsidian, Acacia etc.), the traits (food-storage items, nearby items, empty items etc.), the number of the items (though this does not count items that are forbidden, built into something, or owned) and the inequality, at least (>=), less than(<), at most(<=), greater than(>), exactly(==), not(!=)).
Some useful item conditions are tricky to specify:
 - "refined coal" is just simply item=bar material=coal,
 - specific flour is item=powder, material=required flour name (not the plant name), trait=cookable
 - specific alcohol is item=drink, material="alcohol name" (not the plant name)
 - the trait "lye-containing item" (not to be mistaken with "lye-bearing item") is only available for "make soap" job,
 - item=liquid material=lye ignores lye in buckets,
 - the "unused" trait cannot be chosen manually, only reagents/materials key sets it for "make clothing" type of jobs.
Order conditions: The condition can depend on another order being completed, or another order becoming active.
The details of an order specify the type of material used in the making of the item (if applicable). Setting the max number of workshops that the order applies to can be especially useful to ensure that multiple orders for the same type of workshop (e.g. a Mason's Workshop) are worked on at the same time. After a production order is validated and Active, corresponding tasks will be automatically added to applicable workshops until the production quota has been met. An announcement appears when each order is completed. For repeating orders, the order then becomes inactive and the manager checks at the selected time interval for the conditions to become true again before restarting the order.
In repeating work orders, the quantity of items is treated as a batch size rather than a target number for total items to be produced. The quantity is set when creating the work order, and cannot be changed without redoing the entire order, conditions and all. A repeating work order will not abort mid-batch due to job cancellation or failed conditions. It must wait until the end of the batch before stopping. Be forewarned that perpetual (infinite) orders only check their conditions the first time they become true, since the (infinitely-sized) batch never completes. This can lead to confusion and frustration, as the order will never stop, regardless of failed conditions!
A guide to setting up functional work orders may be found in this thread.
Setting workshop profiles[edit]
The manager also allows players to change a workshop's "Profile". To edit a workshop's Profile, select a workshop with q and press P.
The workshop Profile enables players to restrict the dwarves that can use it and the minimum and maximum skill level required to use the workshop. They can choose who specifically can use the workshop by pressing enter on their name to permit/forbid their use of the workshop.
Additionally, using the Work Orders tab on the Profile screen will allow the manager to queue work orders specific to that workshop. Pressing Enter on the Work Orders tab will toggle whether or not the workshop will accept general work orders or only those set through the workshop's Profile.
Dwarves with strange moods seem to be able to claim a workshop even if they do not meet the profile criteria.
A note of caution: workshop profiles persistv0.31.12 even if the manager is killed, which can lead to workshops becoming unusable if the manager is killed and the dwarves permitted into the workshop die or are reassigned. Furthermore, workshop profiles seem to be slightly buggy. Adequate (rusty) weaponsmiths have been seen using a forge with the skill min/max both set to "Dabbling". This may be somewhat irritating if peasants are undergoing training.
One disadvantage of the work order system is that no work will be performed until the manager finishes validating the order. Work order validation appears to be fairly high priority, but it's best to ensure your manager has ample free time and isn't typically called far from the office for timely order validation.
A second disadvantage is that if there is more than one workshop which can fulfill a particular job set (such as several ordinary glass furnaces dedicated to sand collection, plus several magma glass furnaces for actual glass production) then the manager will distribute the jobs amongst all those workshops. While this can be an advantage (for example, if you want to speed up the work orders by having multiple workshops), this will make it difficult to dedicate different workshops to different tasks. This can be prevented by entering the profile of specific workshops and moving to the Work Orders menu; setting "general work orders cannot task this shop" will prevent the manager from assigning tasks.

عن الكتاب
In this study, the effects of both lamination
scheme and boundary conditions on the natural
frequencies of free vibration of laminated composite decks
beams were investigated. The problem is analyzed and
solved using the energy approach which is formulated by a
finite element model. Lamination schemes for symmetric
and non-symmetric laminated beams were studied. Six
boundary conditions are considered; clamped-free (CF),
hinged-hinged (HH), clamped-clamped (CC), hingedclamped
(HC), hinged-free (HF), free-free (FF). Each
beam has either movable ends or immovable ends. It is
found that both symmetrically and anti-symmetrically
laminated beams of similar size and end conditions have
equal natural frequencies which, generally, decrease as the
angle of orientation increases. Also, It is found that the
more constrained beams have the higher values of natural
frequencies of transverse vibration. However, the free-free
and hinged-free beams are found to have the highest
frequencies of transverse vibration amongst all beams
although they look less constrained. This behavior is due to
the fact that the first mode of the two beams is equal zero
(rigid body motion), and replaced by the second mode to
be the fundamental mode. The values of the natural
frequencies of longitudinal modes are found to be the same
for all beams with movable ends since they are generated
by longitudinal movements only. But for immovable ends,
the clamped-free and hinged-free beams have equal
frequencies in longitudinal vibration, and those of the
other beams are also the same.

Part IV – Plane detection, a first step to implementing panorama hotspots
In order to be able to detect hotspots under the mouse, the first thing we need to do is find some way to detect which plane the mouse is currently over and what the local x,y coordinates of the mousecursor are in the local space of that plane.
Instead of providing all the theoretical background I want to try and make it conceptually clear how we can do this. So let go of the mouse coordinates for a moment and take a look at our untransformed starting cube we discussed in a previous post:
The Cube
We can see that a cube is nothing more than a space enclosed by 6 planes. We can even specify the equations for these planes:
The Cube Planes
The plane numbers correspond to how we have defined our planes in the panoramas these past examples. Contained within this cube is the set of all (x,y,z) coordinates with an absolute value for x, y and z less or equal to 1. In addition for the coordinates that lie exactly within a plane of the cube, 'special' equations hold. For example for plane 0 we could say that Math.abs(x) <= 1 AND Math.abs (y) <= 1, which is the same as saying that for all points in plane 0, Math.abs(x) <= Math.abs(z) AND Math.abs (y) <= Math.abs(z). But this is true for plane 2 as well, so how do we differentiate between these two planes? Simple, check the sign of z. If z < 0 and Math.abs(x) <= Math.abs(z) and Math.abs (y) <= Math.abs (z), or even shorter, if z < 0 and Math.abs(x) >= z and Math.abs (y) >= z, we are dealing with points in plane 0.
It gets even better, if the planes are closer or further away from the origin (0,0,0) and in effect the cube is smaller or larger, this will still hold. In order words seeing the z instead of -1 and 1 in the example equations above means that these equations hold for planes parallel to our planes as well. And we can write these kind of equations for each plane. So given any point you can tell in which plane (or rather quadrant) the point lies by looking at "the sign of the coordinate having the largest absolute value" (from page 142 from Mathematics for 3d Game Programming and Computer Graphics).
Visually this means that given any point contained in the cube you cannot only tell in which plane it lies, but in which quadrant as well. In other words if you view a cube as 6 pyramids put together, you know in which 'pyramid' a point lies by looking at "the sign of the coordinate having the largest absolute value".
The Cube Pyramids
(A cube's content split into 6 pyramids)
So the next problem presents itself: when we are pointing at a certain pixel in our cube, what is it's coordinate? We can calculate the coordinate by pointing a vector in the direction of our mouse pointer and see where it intersects one of the 6 planes. But how do we calculate the direction of the vector based on the position of the mouse pointer?
Remember the information we discussed in an earlier post about relating the field of view, wall size and wall distance (projection plane distance)?:
projectionplane_distance = (wallsize/2) / tan (fov_in_radians * 0.5)
Visually:
Calculating the field of view
The area within the rectangle on the wall, is the area of our 3d space actually visible on the screen.
(Note that we are using the same field of vision horizontally as we are vertically, like it has been in our panorama's all this time)
What this did in effect, was given a wall size (stage size in pixels), and a field of vision, calculate the projection plane distance.
Once we have a projection plane distance, we could pick a point in the visible area of our 3d space, in other words a point on our stage, in other words at a certain distance in pixels from the center of the wall/stage, and calculate what the angle of a vector towards that point on the wall would be:
First for the angle alpha which represents the angle between a vector pointing straight at the screen and the mouse x position:
projectionplane_distance = x_offset_from_center / tan (alpha) =>
projectionplane_distance * tan (alpha) = x_offset_from_center =>
tan (alpha) = x_offset_from_center / projectionplane_distance =>
alpha = atan (x_offset_from_center / projectionplane_distance)
The x_offset_from_center is the difference between the center of the stage and the mouse x in pixels.
Of course the mouse position does not only present an offset across the x axis but across the y axis as well:
We can see the same formula applies, however instead of the projectionplane_distance we need to use pythagoras on the plane distance and the mouse y offset from the center, to calculate the length of our adjacent, which gives us the following y angle:
beta = atan (y_offset_from_center / sqrt (projectionplane_distance^2 + x_offset_from_center^2))
So now, given any vector that goes through our camera and points at the center of the screen, we can create a vector that points at the pixel under our mouse by rotating it by the calculated angles.
rotatedvector = [0 0 z].rotateY (alpha).rotateX(beta)
Visually:
Pick whatever you want for z for example [0 0 -1] or [0 0 -10] or whatever. As long as x and y are zero and we are pointing away from the camera.
So now we have rotated vector, what can we do with it?
If we view our rotated vector as a point, we can determine in what quadrant of the cube we are. However we are faced with another problem. The principle that "the sign of the coordinate having the largest absolute value" determines that quadrant only works for an unrotated cube. And we are constantly rotating our cube as we are looking around in our panorama. So we have to 'undo' the rotation of the cube on our rotated vector, which gives us the vector we would have had if we were able to point at the same spot in the unrotated cube and use that one to determine in which quadrant (is quadrant actually the right term or should it be pyramid?) our vector lies:
_lastX = _canvas._xmouse;
_lastY = _canvas._ymouse;
var lDeltaXFromCenter:Number = _lastX - _viewportWidthDiv2;
var lDetaYFromCenter:Number = _lastY - _viewportHeightDiv2;
//tan (alpha) = opposite/adjacent
var lXAngleFromCameraToMouseX:Number = Math.atan(lDeltaXFromCenter / _projectionPlaneDistance);
var lYAngleFromCameraToMouseY:Number = Math.atan(lDetaYFromCenter / Math.sqrt((lDeltaXFromCenter * lDeltaXFromCenter) + (_projectionPlaneDistance * _projectionPlaneDistance)));
StageUtil.printScreen ("Mouse angles:" + lXAngleFromCameraToMouseX + "|" + lYAngleFromCameraToMouseY);
StageUtil.printScreen ("Pan/tilt angles:" + _pan + "|" + _tilt);
//now create a center point vector which points at the mouse coordinates by rotating it by our deduced angles
var lCenterPointVector:Point3D = new Point3D(0, 0, -1);
var lMatrix:IdentityMatrix3D = new IdentityMatrix3D();
lMatrix.rotateX (lYAngleFromCameraToMouseY); //is in radians
lMatrix.multiplyVector (lCenterPointVector);
lMatrix.rotateY (lXAngleFromCameraToMouseX); //is in radians
lMatrix.multiplyVector (lCenterPointVector);
//undo cube rotation
lMatrix.rotateX ( -_tilt * _toRadians);
lMatrix.multiplyVector (lCenterPointVector);
lMatrix.rotateY ( -_pan * _toRadians);
lMatrix.multiplyVector (lCenterPointVector);
var x:Number = Math.abs (lCenterPointVector.x);
var y:Number = Math.abs (lCenterPointVector.y);
var z:Number = Math.abs (lCenterPointVector.z);
var lPlane:Number = null;
if (z >= x && z >= y) {
 if (lCenterPointVector.z < 0) {
 lPlane = 0;
 } else {
 lPlane = 2;
 }
} else if (x >= y && x >= z) {
 if (lCenterPointVector.x < 0) {
 lPlane = 3;
 }

Changes in light intensity cause major difficulties in the plant recognition. In order to solve this problem, we started the development of a plant recognition method, with high efficiency in variable lighting conditions. This will be implemented to an autonomous mobile robot for weed control. The method consists in determining of dependency relations between the leaves color and the light intensity.

Conditions in Oxygen: how show/hide content based on UTM tags?
Starting from version 2.4, Oxygen has a powerful and useful "Conditions" functionality. More details can be found in the official documentation. Using the conditionals feature, we can now hide or show certain site content depending on the fulfilment of conditions. This can be useful, for example, to create hidden content only for subscribers of the site, or to create paid closed sections. In addition to the 26 built-in conditions, we can now create unique conditions using the API.
Cases of using conditions may be different and are limited only by your need and imagination. In this tutorial, I want to share with you my experiment on hiding content based on UTM tags. See an example of how this works.
I'm still testing it, but it seems to be working well. And so, I tell you how to do it step by step.
Step 1
Install the Code Snippets plugin, if you haven't installed it yet. We will need to add a small amount of PHP code to register our conditions.
Step 2
Create a new snippet Snippets > Add new (for example, I called it "Testing UTM-tags", but you can give it any name you need). In the snippet field, paste the following code and save the changes:
if( function_exists('oxygen_vsb_register_condition') ) {
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM source', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_source_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_source_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_source'])){
 $utm_source = $_GET['utm_source'];
 setcookie("utm_source", $utm_source, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_int($utm_source, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM medium', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_medium_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_medium_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_medium'])){
 $utm_medium = $_GET['utm_medium'];
 setcookie("utm_medium", $utm_medium, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_medium, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM campaign', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_campaign_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_campaign_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_campaign'])){
 $utm_campaign = $_GET['utm_campaign'];
 setcookie("utm_campaign", $utm_campaign, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_campaign, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM content', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_content_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_content_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_content'])){
 $utm_content = $_GET['utm_content'];
 setcookie("utm_content", $utm_content, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_content, $value, $operator);
 oxygen_vsb_register_condition('UTM term', array('options' => array(), 'custom' => true), array('=='), 'utm_term_callback', 'UTM');
 function utm_term_callback($value, $operator) {
 if (isset($_GET['utm_term'])){
 $utm_term = $_GET['utm_term'];
 setcookie("utm_term", $utm_term, $expire);
 return oxy_condition_eval_string ($utm_term, $value, $operator);
In this example, I set the cookie lifetime to 5 days. This means that if a user comes to the site via a link with a UTM tag, then each time he visits the page, conditions will work until 5 days have passed, or until he clears the cookie in his browser.
If you need to set cookies for a longer or shorter period, then on each line $expire=time()+60*60*24*5; replace 5 on the value that you need (in days). To save cookies for a specific condition or not, we will configure further in the next step.
Step 3
After registering conditions at the second step, in the list of conditions in the Oxygen editor, we should have new conditions: UTM source, UTM medium, UTM campaign, UTM content and UTM term. Next, we need to adjust the conditions for hiding / showing a block with content depending on our conditions.
Suppose that we need to track the source (utm_source tag) from Google ads. Our link with the UTM can look like this:{network}&utm_content={creative}&utm_term={keyword}
Now we need to create a condition, if the source is Google, then show on the page a special block that is initially hidden.
Variant 1: without tracking cookies
In this case, the block will be shown every time, but only if the link has an UTM tags. If the user enters this same page without any tags, the block will not be shown.
Create a condition for our block by selecting from the list - UTM source and writing a word equal to the value of the tag - google.
Oxygen Conditions: how show/hide content based on UTM tags?
Save the result and check.
Thus, we can track the value of any of the UTM tags (not just utm_source).
Variant 2: with cookie tracking
In this case, the block will be shown when you first visit the link with UТM. If you refresh the page, or visit the page without the UTM tags, the block will still be shown to the user over the entire lifetime of the cookie (in our example, this is 5 days, or until the user clears the cookie itself).
To do this, we will definitely need to change the condition type to OR and add an additional standard Cookie List condition in which we need to specify the value corresponding to the value of our UTM tag:
Set type Oxygen Conditions
set cookie conditions in Oxygen
Now the block will be displayed only if the url contains the word google OR cookies contains the word google.
That's all. I hope this article has been helpful to you.
Hey. This block is shown because you clicked a link with a UTM tag. Follow the link without UTM tags and you will not see this block. For convenience of testing in this example, cookies are not recorded.
Follow the link with the UTM tag and another block will be shown in this place:
go to the link
In this article, I showed only the simplest example of how much my fantasy was enough. If you have another task, have questions or requests, write your comment below.

According to new figures published today, more than 10 million people visited Church of England's Cathedrals last year. The research according to new figures published last week in the Church of England's Cathedral Research and Statistics Report. Research also revealed that the highest motivating factors for Cathedral attendance were peace and contemplation, worship and music and friendly atmosphere.
Other key findings were that the number of young people attending educational events at cathedrals increased by nearly 14% between 2004 and 2014 and that over the last ten years the number of volunteers supporting the mission and ministry of cathedrals has risen to 15,200.
The Very Reverend Christopher Dalliston, the Dean of St Nicholas' Cathedral, Newcastle,said:
"One of the things we've done is to try to respond to the number of tourists and visitors. We've developed a chaplaincy scheme so as well as having welcomers to help people who want to come and explore we can articulate clearly the spiritual dimension of the cathedral and we have found that's been enormously appreciated".

🧮 Fuel Economy
Miles per Gallon to Kilometer per Liter
The fuel economy conversion of 50 miles per gallon is ~21.258503401361 kilometer per liter.
|Miles per Gallon||Kilometer per Liter|
Fuel efficiency is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the ratio from effort to result of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier (fuel) into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per application, and this spectrum of variance is often illustrated as a continuous energy profile. Non-transportation applications, such as industry, benefit from increased fuel efficiency, especially fossil fuel power plants or industries dealing with combustion, such as ammonia production during the Haber process.

Lincoln University pays tribute to Distinguished Professor Steve Wratten
12 March 2021 | Research News
As the Lincoln University whānau mourns the loss of Distinguished Professor of Ecology Steve Wratten, his contributions to teaching, research and applied science will long be remembered and celebrated
Professor Wratten joined Lincoln University in 1993 as a Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Entomology, after arriving in New Zealand from the UK. He immediately began working to establish a postgraduate and postdoctoral research group in insect ecology, with a sharp focus on solving practical problems in insect pest management in agriculture and horticulture, and the conservation and protection of the environment.
Within two years he had won a Lincoln University Special Achievement Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Activity, and within three years was appointed to a Personal Chair in Ecology, followed soon after by election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. A Fellowship of the Entomological society of America was to follow later.
The citation for the Royal Society Fellowship described him as an 'outstandingly productive ecological entomologist and a gifted communicator' who through his research and the establishment of research and teaching facilities at Lincoln University and the supervision of PhD students, has made a 'substantial impact on agricultural entomology and plant protection in New Zealand'.
In 2004 Professor Wratten received a second Lincoln University award, for Sustained Excellence in Teaching. The citation for that honour described him as a 'charismatic and inspirational teacher'. He went on to co-represent Lincoln University at the 2005 National Tertiary Teaching Awards.
In 2019 he received the ultimate accolade of appointment as a 'Distinguished Professor'.
As Professor Wratten's career at Lincoln University flourished, he became nationally and internationally known for his work on the ecological basis for the biological control of agricultural, horticultural and viticultural pests.
"Ecology is tremendously relevant for a country like New Zealand, with its economy so heavily dependent on land-based production," he said.
"Down at the 'grassface', plant and insect interactions are fundamental to agriculture, horticulture and viticulture."
Three examples from many illustrate Professor Wratten's practical and applied application of science to areas of national and regional economic importance or potential importance.
First, in 1999 Lincoln University and Heinz Wattie Australasia jointly established Kowhai Farm, a certified organic mixed cropping farm in Lincoln, with the aim of exploring scientifically the practices and economics of commercial-scale organic farming.
Professor Wratten's involvement with Kowhai Farm allowed him to explore and apply the science of using 'nature's services', as he termed them, to control insect pests in farming operations and to promote natural pollination and other benefits.
He was particularly interested in paddock margin management and installed 'bumble bee motels' and 'beetle banks' around the borders of the farm. To demonstrate the efficacy of this work Professor Wratten would regularly conduct farm walks on tracks around Kowhai Farm so visitors could experience the application of science in a model organic farming context.
A second example was the leadership and close involvement of Professor Wratten in the 'Greening Waipara' project. Funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, Greening Waipara was all about bringing environmental sustainability and biodiversity to the Waipara wine growing region of North Canterbury. The aim was to restore biodiversity to the vineyards of the area and reduce pesticide use, to meet the expectations of overseas wine markets that New Zealand's production methods were environmentally friendly. The project started in 2005 and more than 30 vineyards participated.
In another wine area, Marlborough, he was closely involved, through the work of his PhD students, with research associated with commercial organic viticulture and winemaking.
A third example is Professor Wratten's leadership of a biofuels research project, funded in 2008 by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology. The project, led by Lincoln University with key industry partner Chevron New Zealand (marketers of the Caltex brand), investigated raising the productivity of poor quality land through the development of feedstock for making biofuel.
Professor Wratten said the identification of appropriate fuel crops for New Zealand's less productive areas, together with ways of increasing their yield, 'was the key to starting a new feedstock business for the energy sector'.
Throughout his long career at Lincoln University, Professor Wratten's contribution has always been the application of science to solving ecological and agri-business problems and enhancing productively in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
With a career output of numerous books, book chapters, journal articles (around 400), research papers, media presentations, speaking engagements, conference presentations, visiting professorships, postgraduate supervisions (close to 100 PhDs), scientific body memberships and appointments within Lincoln University such as his roles as Biocontrol Theme Leader of the Bio-Protection Research Centre, and five years in the 1990s as Lincoln University's Academic Programme Director, it is with complete justification that Distinguished Professor Wratten should be described by Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Bruce McKenzie as 'one of Lincoln University's most sought-after academics'.
Distinguished Professor Wratten is survived by his wife Claire, who has always been actively involved in campus activities through the Lincoln Women's Group, and two children.

A cog railway, rack-and-pinion railway or rack railway is a railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails. The trains are fitted with one or more cog wheels or pinions that mesh with this rack rail. This allows the trains to operate on steep gradients.
The first cog railway was the Middleton Railway between Middleton and Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, UK, where the first commercial steam locomotive, The Salamanca, ran in 1812. This used a rack and pinion system designed and patented in 1811 by John Blenkinsop.
The first mountain cog railway was the Mount Washington Cog Railway in the US state of New Hampshire, which carried its first fare-paying passengers in 1868 and reached the summit of Mount Washington in 1869. The first rack railway in Europe was the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn on Mount Rigi in Switzerland, which opened in 1871. Both lines are still running.
A number of different rack systems have been developed. Today, the majority of rack railways use the Abt system.
The Riggenbach rack system was invented by Niklaus Riggenbach working at about the same time as, but independently from Marsh. Riggenbach was granted a French patent in 1863 based on a working model which he used to interest potential Swiss backers. During this time, the Swiss Consul to the United States visited Marsh's Mount Washington Cog Railway and reported back with enthusiasm to the Swiss government. Eager to boost tourism in Switzerland, the government commissioned Riggenbach to build a rack railway up Rigi Mountain. Following the construction of a prototype locomotive and test track in a quarry near Berne, the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn opened on 22 May 1871.
The Riggenbach system is similar in design to the Marsh system. It uses a ladder rack, formed of steel plates or channels connected by round or square rods at regular intervals. The Riggenbach system suffers from the problem that its fixed ladder rack is more complex and expensive to build than the other systems. Common structural shapes Following the success of the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn, Riggenbach established the Maschinenfabrik der Internationalen Gersellschaft fur Bergbahnen (IGB) - a company that produced rack locomotives to his design.
The Strub rack system was invented by Emil Strub in 1896. It uses a rolled flat-bottom rail with rack teeth machined into the head approximately 100 mm apart. Safety jaws fitted to the locomotive engage with the underside of the head to prevent derailments.
The best-known use of the Strub system is on the Jungfraubahn in Switzerland. It is the simplest rack system to maintain and has become increasingly popular.
The Abt system was devised by Roman Abt, a Swiss locomotive engineer. Abt worked for Riggenbach at his works in Olten and later at his IGB rack locomotive company. In 1885 he founded his own civil engineering company.
During the early 1880s, Abt worked to devise an improved rack system that overcame the limitations of the Riggenbach system. In particular, the Riggenbach rack was expensive to manufacture and maintain and the switches were complex. In 1882 Abt designed a new rack using solid bars with vertical teeth machined into them. Two or three of these bars are mounted centrally between the rails, with the teeth offset. The use of multiple bars with offset teeth ensures that the pinions on the locomotive driving wheels are constantly engaged with the rack. The Abt system is cheaper to build than the Riggenbach because it requires a lower weight of rack over a given length. However the Riggenbach system exhibits greater wear resistance than the Abt.
The first use of the Abt system was on the Harzbahn in Germany which opened in 1885.
The pinion wheels can be mounted on the same axle as the rail wheels (as in the picture at right), or driven separately. The steam locomotives on the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company had separate pistons driving the pinion wheel.
The Locher rack system, invented by Eduard Locher, has gear teeth cut in the sides rather than the top of the rail, engaged by two cog wheels on the locomotive. This system allows use on steeper grades than the other systems, whose teeth could jump out of the rack. It is used on the Pilatus Railway.
Locher set out to design a rack system that could be used on gradients as steep as 1 in 2 (50%). The Abt system - the most common rack system in Switzerland at the time - was limited to a maximum gradient of 1 in 4 (25%). Locher showed that on steeper grade, the Abt system was prone to the driving pinion over-riding the rack causing potentially catastrophic derailments, as predicted by Dr. Abt. To overcome this problem and allow a rack line up the steep sides of Mt. Pilatus, Locher developed a rack system where the rack is a flat bar with symmetrical, horizontal teeth. Horizontal pinion engage the centrally-mounted bar, both driving the locomotive and keeping it centered on the track.
Following tests, the Locher system was deployed on the Pilatus Railway which opened in 1889. No other public railway uses the Locher system, although some European coal mines use a similar system on steeply graded underground lines.
The Lamella system (also known as the Von Roll system) was developed by the Von Roll company after the rolled steel rails used in the Strub system became unavailable. It is formed from a single blade cut in a similar fashion to the Abt system but typically wider than a single Abt bar. The Lamella rack can be used by locomotives designed for use on the Riggenbach or the Strub systems and some railways use rack from multiple systems. The St. Gallen Gais Appenzell Railway in Switzerland has sections of Riggenbach, Strub and Lamella rack.
Most of the rack railways built from the late 20th century onwards have used the Lamella system.
Originally almost all cog railways were powered by steam locomotives. The steam locomotive needs to be extensively modified to work effectively in this environment. Unlike a diesel locomotive or electric locomotive, the steam locomotive only works when its powerplant (the boiler, in this case) is fairly level. The locomotive boiler requires water to cover the boiler tubes and firebox sheets at all times, particularly the crown sheet, the metal top of the firebox. If this is not covered with water, the heat of the fire will soften it enough to give way under the boiler pressure, leading to a catastrophic failure.
On rack systems with extreme gradients, the boiler, cab and general superstructure of the locomotive are tilted forward relative to the wheels so that they are more or less horizontal when on the steeply graded track. These locomotives often cannot function on level track, and so the entire line, including maintenance shops, must be laid on a gradient. This is one of the reasons why rack railways were among the first to be electrified and most of today's rack railways are electrically powered.
On a rack-only railroad locomotives always push their passenger cars for safety reasons since the locomotive is fitted with powerful brakes, often including hooks or clamps that grip the rack rail solidly. Some locomotives are fitted with automatic brakes that apply if the speed gets too high, preventing runaways. Often there is no coupler between locomotive and train since gravity will always push the passenger car down against the locomotive. Electrically powered vehicles often have electromagnetic track brakes as well.
The maximum speed of trains operating on a cog railway is generally very low, about 25 km/h.

I have a question regarding the difference between stock and flow variables.
I know that a stock variable is measured at a specific point in time $t$ and the flow of this variable is measured over time, for example from $t-1$ to $t$.
When economists compute the ratio between a stock and a flow variable in some cases they use the geometric mean for the flow variable and the unchanged stock variable. Let's take an example: A very popular ratio nowadays is "credit-to-gdp". Nearly all studies compute the credit-to-gdp ratio for year $t$ by using the stock variable of credit at $t$ and the geometric mean of gdp from $t-1$ and $t$ (for example Mendoza & Terrones, 2008 or Dell'Ariccia et al., 2012). But why are they doing this? I know the difference between the two concepts but the question for me still remains "so what?".
Consider a counter example: income per capita. Income is obviously a flow variable while the number of people in an economy is a stock variable. But as far as I know nobody is even considering using the geometric mean or something like this.
Is it just a habit, a practical issue (if we have the data we do it if not we don't) or is there really a logical (mathematical) reason behind this approach? So far I was not able to find a convincing answer and I get the feeling that this is just a method to smooth the data a little bit.
 - $\begingroup$ Welcome to the site. It's a good question, but the title doesn't really summarise what you are asking, and could suggest you are just asking what the difference is between a stock and a flow. You might consider editing the title to something like "Why use geometric mean of GDP when calculating ratio of credit to GDP?" $\endgroup$ – Adam Bailey Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ Thank you for your comment. I edited to title of the Question. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 2 '18 at 9:42
 - $\begingroup$ This is the sort of thing that is supposed to be explained in academic papers; however, it would probably be a cryptic one sentence comment. I am not familiar with this literature, but GDP is just a scaling factor. Just using one GDP data point probably results in a noisier series. By averaging GDP, changes in the ratio are driven more by the change in credit, which is what the authors are interested in. $\endgroup$ – Brian Romanchuk Mar 4 '18 at 13:37
 - $\begingroup$ Maybe another justification for the geometric mean - besides the smoothing aspect - could be duo to the danger of measurement errors in gdp. Looking at the literature a little bit more the first paper that is using the gdp-to-credit ratio with geometric mean is this one: researchgate.net/profile/Pierre-Olivier_Gourinchas/publication/… which quotes a paper on financial crises and economic development/deepening as a source for using the geo mean. $\endgroup$ – PAS Mar 5 '18 at 14:11

text: In this study, the effects of gamma-ray and neutron radiation on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at different doses were investigated. The samples in powder form were exposed to thermal neutrons, fast neutrons, and 10 kGy and 20 kGy doses of gamma-ray radiation. Virgin and irradiated MWCNTs were investigated through structural, optical, morphological, and chemical analysis by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the damage produced by the radiation. The Raman spectroscopy measurements show that the I-D/I-G ratio increased with the irradiation except for the 10 kGy gamma rays. XPS measurements display a higher degree of oxygen incorporation with the neutron irradiation. Detailed analysis of the Cls spectra also shows lower percentages of C=C sp(2) and higher percentages of C-C sp(3) in the MWCNTs irradiated by neutrons. Dark black spots were observed in the MWCNTs by irradiation, which is attributed to the formation of an amorphous structure by TEM measurements. The results show that, overall, the 10 kGy gamma irradiation dose improves the structural quality while the 20 kGy dose gamma rays, fast, and thermal neutrons caused a decrease in the degree of the structural quality of the MWCNTs.

Simple instructions for using the snowflake ice machine
2022-10-24 09:48:02
There are many ice machines on the market, but the one that is favored by experimenters is the Snowflake ice machine. The finely crushed ice makes it perform well in ice bath experiments, and the large contact area with the sample tubes cools the temperature quickly without contaminating the biological samples.
Of course, if you want the machine to make standard snowflake ice, your use should follow the ice machine instructions. Today, Tianchi will take you to briefly learn the use of snowflake ice machine.
1.Before powering on the snowflake ice machine, connect to the water source, open the water valve switch and adjust the water pressure.
2.Initial power on, if the 5 lights are on 1S at the same time, it means the system completes the power on reset, and it can work normally.
3.If the power indicator (L1) is on, and the water shortage indicator (L3) is flashing, it means that the power is on for 3min delay.
4.Tap the button (M0) or 3min delay time to, snowflake ice machine start working, ice auger motor start first, 15s after the compressor work, the fan is controlled, ice full automatic shutdown.
5.In the working process of the snowflake ice machine, click the button to manually shut down the machine, shut down the compressor first, the fan and ice auger motor delay 15s to shut down, ice full indicator light (L2) flashing, indicating the shutdown state, click the button again to turn on the machine.
6.In the delayed boot stage, click the button to end the delay and quickly boot up the computer.
The operation of the snowflake ice machine is not difficult, as long as you follow the instructions to operate once, the next use will be very simple it!

Dictionary.com Word FAQs
When should I use continuously as opposed to continually?
Continual means frequently recurring or intermittent. Continuous means occurring without interruption or unceasing. Continuous refers to actions which are uninterrupted: The upstairs neighbor played his stereo continuously from 6:00 PM to 3:30 AM. Continual actions, however, need not be uninterrupted, only repeated: My mother continually urges me to do my homework. / Rivers flow continuously, but the telephone is more likely to ring continually. A related mistake is to use continuous for something that happens at regular intervals. There are other adjectives that mean 'occurring repeatedly over a long period of time': "constant" (implying persistence, steadiness), "ceaseless" and "incessant" (referring to uninterrupted activity), "eternal" (lasting forever), "interminable" (seemingly endless, wearisome), "perennial" (going on year after year, with self-renewal), and "perpetual" (implying both duration and steadiness). So, try to remember to use -al for something which is either always going on or recurs at short intervals and never comes to an end, and -ous for something in which no break occurs between the beginning and the end.

In its annual Oil and Gas Review [PDF] published on December 23, 2019, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) highlighted concerns related to production disclosure by reporting issuers engaged in oil and gas activities. As our clients head into annual disclosure season, we have summarized certain key guidance points relevant to oil and gas reporting issuers currently readying their continuous disclosure filings, news releases and investor presentations.
Disclosure is required by each product type produced
The ASC reminded reporting issuers that, in order to comply with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities, production disclosure must include production based on product type produced, as measured at the first point of sale (i.e., the first point after initial production at which there is a transfer of ownership). If reporting issuers disclose an aggregate production amount using boe/day or a production amount for a by-product (or hydrocarbon component), such as condensate, they will also need to disclose the constituent or related product types that were produced.
This clarification is noteworthy as it rejects the relatively common practice among oil and gas reporting issuers of disclosing an aggregate production amount using boe/day without including the constituent product types produced, and of disclosing by-product or other fluids production (for example, condensate production) without also disclosing the product types produced.
To comply with the ASC's expectations, reporting issuers should ensure that any production disclosure includes each product type and quantity measured at the first point of sale. Product types include conventional natural gas, light crude oil and medium crude oil combined, bitumen, natural gas liquids and shale gas. So, in the case of condensates, it is necessary to also disclose natural gas liquids with which they are associated. Once this "minimum disclosure requirement" is met, reporting issuers can disclose as supplemental disclosure associated by-products and hydrocarbon components at the first point of sale, as well as estimated quantities of product types, by-products and hydrocarbon components expected to be recovered beyond the first point of sale. Accordingly, issuers may not need to significantly change how they are currently disclosing production amounts, so long as the disclosure is expansive enough to include production amounts using product types.
While some reporting issuers may object to the perceived low value of breaking out the overall composition of production by all product types, the ASC cautions that reporting issuers must ensure that disclosure is not misleading where certain product types are excluded – for example, where there are marketable quantities of a particular product type at the first point of sale, even if that product type is of lower value.
Other areas of improvement:
In the Oil and Gas Review, the ASC also noted the following additional concerns relating to production disclosure:
- quantities measured elsewhere than the first point of sale
- disclosure of product type ratios (for example, by percentages) rather than by quantity of each product type – the quantities of production should be disclosed in the same document in which those ratios are disclosed

text: Dynamic steady-state growth in 3D of a semi-infinite plane brittle crack in isotropic elastic solids is considered. Loads cause growth by translating on the crack surfaces at constant, subcritical speed. An analytical solution is obtained and subjected to a criterion for brittle crack growth based on dynamic energy release rate, with kinetic energy included. The result is a nonlinear differential equation for the crack contour, i.e., the curve formed by the crack edge in the crack plane. The equation is studied for the case of compression loading by translating point forces. At large distances from the forces, the crack edge asymptotically approaches the rectilinear and kinetic energy effects can be negligible. A bulge forms around the forces, however, the effect of kinetic energy on its size can be pronounced.


text: According to psychological theories of environmental affect, the physical environment moderates the walking experience and its psychological wellbeing benefits. The present paper further demonstrates that affective experiences also influence intentions to walk. A study to explore the influence of affective experiences of walking on walking intentions is reported. A sample of adults working or studying in Bristol, UK (n = 384) participated in an experiment involving virtual exposure to one of five environments, with evaluations of their affective experience and of intentions to walk in the setting. A subsample (n = 14) then took part in photo-elicited semi-structured interviews. Multiple regression analyses showed that affective experiences of walking influenced walking intentions. Interview analyses highlighted the role of traffic, city busyness, and poor aesthetics. This is the first empirical study that examines the walking experience and related walking intentions from the pedestrian perspective employing theories of environmental affect. The findings indicate that safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation are crucial elements for the walking experience. Following this, a strategy to promote active mobility in the built environment can be constructed around safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation by targeting the micro elements that prevent them.

Improving Schools: Strategies for Action in Mexico
This report develops comparative knowledge for reforms in teacher and school management policies in the context of an OECD member country: Mexico. Mexico's education outcomes can be improved by enhancing the effectiveness of its schools. The standards gap between the performance of students in Mexico and other OECD countries can only be reduced if schools become good at what they do. This report looks at key issues and challenges faced by the Mexican education system and provides policy recommendations on school management, leadership and teacher policies. These recommendations have been developed by considering the outcomes, quality and standards of education and schools in Mexico in terms of what is known internationally about effective schools, and by adapting this knowledge to the Mexican context.
The report has two audiences: It aims to support the Mexican government and key actors in the education system to develop long-term vision and policy in the areas of school management, school leadership, social participation, selection and recruitment of teachers, teacher education, professional development, and evaluation policies in Mexico. At the same time, it provides valuable knowledge in education policy development and implementation useful for other OECD member and partner countries that are in the process of reforming their education systems.

text: Ivory clapper in the form of a right hand of the type used in Hathor rituals. Incised detail on the fingers, thumb and wrist. Cross hatching at the wrist for a braclet and pierced at elbow. Tip of the thumb is missing. Clappers or hand wands such as this one were used by dancers who clapped them together. They also had protective significance as the noise produced by clacking the wands together was believed to keep evil spirits away during critical moments such as childbirth or puberty rituals. Their protective power also accompanied the ritual renewal of the king's vigour during the Heb Sed Festival and assisted in the rebirth of a deceased person into the afterlife.


Teaching Tip 13: Checking Together
 1. It's a good idea to let the students check their answers together before feeding back to the teacher because it gives them the chance to rub out/cross out any glaring errors before the teacher sees and thus avoid looking stupid in front of the class.
 2. If a student hasn't a clue about some of the answers it's reassuring to find out that their partner hasn't the foggiest either. The students realise they are not alone. They can also copy their partners answers (if their partner has some that they don't) but their partner might not be right!
 3. Peer teaching is considered a good thing in the world of EFL. Peers are equals. So in this case a students peers are a student's fellow classmates. Working together and checking work together is a form of peer teaching. This means that instead of the know-it-all (and/or) mother-tongue teacher always teaching them, the students can teach each other (by explaining grammar points, correcting pronunciation, explaining new words and phrases etc). The beauty of it is that the students are all equal to each other and are in the same boat, linguistically speaking.

Why does fire fighting pipe crack when grooving?
Grooved pipe connection is often used in the construction and installation of fire fighting pipes. Therefore, it is often necessary to groove fire fighting pipe. If the pipe cracks during grooving, it will be very annoying. Why does fire fighting pipe crack when grooving? The reasons mainly involve pipe material factors and human factors.

I. Material factors

Pipe material is the primary factor. If pipe cracks during grooving, firstly check pipes' quality issue. Common quality issues that cause pipe cracking mainly include:

(1) The problems of welded pipe itself: the shrinkage stress of welded pipe is too high, uneven heated or unreasonable welding method and sequence will lead to weld cracking

(2) Insufficient pipe thickness: pipes' wall thickness is required when grooving, in general ,only the thickness meets the national standard, pipes can be grooved according to construction requirements. However, in order to save costs, some contractors use thin pipes instead of thick ones, which will cause some problems during grooving.

(3)Pipe is not straight: Pipes may collide during handling and long-distance transportation, resulting in pipe bending. When grooving bending pipe , cracks may occur on one side due to non-homogenous force stresses.

(4) Poor quality of pipes: Good raw materials are needed to produce high-quality galvanized pipes. However, in order to save costs, some manufacturers use wasted materials to make pipes, which will lead to relatively poor quality of pipes, low carbon content and easy to crack when making grooves.

To generate an Incoming webhook in Microsoft Teams, follow these steps:
 1. Open Microsoft Teams and navigate to the channel where you want to add the Incoming webhook.
 2. Click on the three dots (...) next to the channel's name and select Connectors from the dropdown menu.
 1. If you use the updated version of Microsoft Teams you should go to Manage channel section and click on Edit next to Connectors.
 image-20240130-170950.png
 3. In the Connectors window, search for "Incoming Webhook" and click on it.
 4. Click on the Configure button to add a new Incoming Webhook URL.
 5. Give your webhook a name and, optionally, upload an icon for it.
 6. Click on the Create button to create the incoming webhook.
 7. Copy the webhook URL that is generated. This URL is unique to your webhook and will be used to send messages to a particular channel.
 8. Click on the Done button to finish creating the incoming webhook.
In case the connector wasn't added to the particular channel before instead of the button Configure you will see the button Add. Add the connector to the channel and repeat all the steps from points 4-8.
Once Incoming Webhook URL is generated, you can:
 - insert it straight into Where to notify section (notification rule creation modal window) to use 1-way integration.
 - save it for other team members on the Managed URLs tab on the Global Configuration page (only for Jira admins)
Managed Webhook URLs
With Webhook URLs management, you can configure named Microsoft Teams Incoming Webhook URLs and optionally restrict them to particular Jira projects.
Please note, the Webhook URLs management is available only for Jira administrators.
Managed URLs are useful for several reasons:
 - simplified Webhook URL creation;
 - you can identify URLs by name, which provides much more flexibility to administer;
 - restrictions by the Jira project enable your project admins to use them without asking for a new URL.
For instance, you can create a URL for the Customer Success team and permit them to use it only by the Customer Success Jira project. It means that during the notification rule creation in Where to notify section this URL will be avaible only for Customer Success project.
To create a new Managed Url follow these steps:
 1. On the global navigation menu click on Apps and select Manage Apps section.
 2. Find our app in Manage apps section or Microsoft Teams section in the left-hand sidebar.
 3. Click on Settings or Configure button to navigate to Global Configuration page.
 4. On the Global configuration page go to Managed URLs tab.
 5. Click on Create URL button.
 6. Insert the Incoming Webhook URL you generated (see the instruction above) and indicate the rest parameters.
 7. Click on Save. To use this Webhook URL you need to switch on the toggle Use Managed URL and select the URL you need from the dropdown below.
Important: The restriction by project for a particular Incoming Webhook URL works only on project level. On Global level Jira admin can use all created Webhook URLs.

There are many ways of categorizing umbrellas, with one of them being the number of folding keels supporting the cloth. This keel is also known as the umbrella's skeleton, and we have one (straight), two, three, and five folding umbrellas based on this classification. In this article, we'll examine the differences between 2 fold umbrellas and 3 fold umbrellas.
2 fold umbrellas
A two folding umbrella is one in which the umbrella's skeleton can be folded into two sections. With their durable structures, two folding umbrellas are portable tools for rainy and sunny days.
3 fold umbrellas
A somewhat more common type of folding umbrellas is the three folding one. As its name implies, it is an umbrella with three folding keels, which means it can be folded three times. These umbrellas usually have buttons to close and open them automatically and are classic rain gear to carry around.
Differences between 2fold umbrella and 3 fold umbrella
Based on the structure, 2 fold umbrellas are compact, firm, and made from top quality materials. Furthermore, the rib sizes of two folding umbrellas vary, with the norm being that the first rib is slightly longer than the second rib.
3 fold umbrellas are just as compact and firmly structured as their two folding counterparts. They are of moderate weights and lengths, with the first rib usually being the shortest. Three folding umbrellas are widely used and made of good quality as well.
Another difference between two folding and three folding umbrellas is how they are styled. The former is of European style, which is usually high-grade. Even after folding them, they are generally quite large.
On the other hand, three folding umbrellas are of both European and mainstream styles. They are characterized by being light, pencil-like, and thin, after they are folded.
Based on their function, two folding umbrellas sport the windproof functionality of long handle umbrellas, which makes them much easier to carry around than straight umbrellas. Many manufacturers make this type of umbrellas to be rainproof and also sun-protecting. The slight setback of two folding umbrellas is that you'll need to take off the bones piece by piece when closing the umbrella.
Three folding umbrellas are small and easy to carry around. But when it comes to their function in resisting winds and heavy rains, they are inferior to two folding and long, straight umbrellas.
Generally speaking, two folding umbrellas are middle to high-grade umbrellas with excellent workmanship and materials, including embroidery, printing, lace. Because of these top-notch designs and craft, two folding umbrellas are usually high-priced.
The more common alternative is three folding umbrellas. They are middle to low-end umbrellas and are of many types. Three folding umbrellas are usually less expensive than their two folding counterparts.
On the differences in their use, two folding umbrellas are more suitable for heavy and windy rainy weather. Three folding umbrellas are not so good in resisting this type of weather, even though they are easy to carry about.
How to choose an excellent folding umbrella
Now, let's look at some of the things that'll influence the folding umbrella you get.
- The cloth: The first thing that'll attract you to any umbrella you pick up is its cloth. They are indispensable and the main parts of the umbrella, because they provide the shade or protection we need. There are many types of umbrella clothes, so before you get one, make sure you've had a good look at the alternatives. Your goal should be to get a folding umbrella with a durable cloth that'll withstand heavy winds and rain.
- The handle: The next factor that should influence the folding umbrella you get is the umbrella's handle. Remember that this is the part you'll be holding, for the most part, so make sure it is very comfortable to grasp. Usually, folding umbrellas have plastic handles that act as insulators during thunderstorms. Folding umbrellas' handles have two major designs: the straight and curved handle designs. The curved one allows for more grip and is comfortable to hold for an extended period. However, they are usually not found in high-priced umbrellas. So, be sure to test both designs of folding umbrella handles before you get one.
- The shaft: The shaft is located just above the handle. It is the part of the umbrella that holds the entire framework in place. So, if you see a firm folding umbrella, chances are that the shaft is rigid. When getting a folding umbrella, ensure that you give the shaft a good shake. If the umbrella parts don't come loose, then the umbrella framework is as firm as it should be. This means that the folding umbrella will withstand wind and rain better, with its firm structure.
- The size: Finally, the size of a folding umbrella should play a decisive role in which you eventually go for. Folding umbrellas have several sizes, so you'll have lots of options to pick from. But the size of the one you choose should fit your lifestyle and what you intend to use it for. If you'll be commuting, then there's no need to get a large folding umbrella. It'll probably be better to get something light and easy to carry about. Don't forget to consider the folding umbrella's size when closed too.
There are quite a lot of folding umbrellas, but the two folding and three folding ones are some of the most common. At first glance, it doesn't seem that there is much to distinguish between the two types of umbrellas. But a closer look at its skeleton will reveal the fundamental difference between two folding and three folding umbrellas.
In this guide, we've differentiated the two common types of folding umbrellas thoroughly. We've also had a look at some factors that should influence your decision on which one to get. With these, you should have all you need to spot the two types of folding umbrellas and know which is best suited for your lifestyle.

Is 2ms Response Time Good for Gaming [A Recommended 144Hz Monitor]
If you are in the market for a gaming monitor, response time and refresh rates are two of the most important things you'd look for. If you've been using a 16ms or 8ms gaming monitor before now, getting anything lower, either a 5ms or 2ms will show a remarkable difference.
But in reality, is 2ms response time good for gaming? I'd be answering that and sharing my top choice when it comes to a gaming monitor that will be providing you top-notch performances.
Yes. A 2ms response time is good for gaming. With a 2ms response time coupled with a decent refresh rate, you will notice a remarkable improvement in the gaming experience, including how smooth, fast, and responsive-to-control your gameplay is.
First, let's begin by talking about what response time is, and just why you'd need to consider the response time of a gaming monitor before you commit.
Response Time Definition in Gaming Performance Testing – What Does 2ms Response Time Mean?
Response time (ms) in gaming is defined as the amount of time it takes from the time a person makes a request or calls a control to the time the request receives a response. It also refers to the speed at which the monitor transits from one color to another and from one shade to another.
Is 1ms Response Time Good for Gaming?
So let's say you are playing a high FPS game. It's expected that the in-game character responds to your command as soon as you hit the specific command. So generally, the lower the response time of a gaming monitor, the better the gaming experience.
The best response time for a gaming monitor is 5ms and below. With 2ms or even 1ms, you are sure to be in the sweet spot. If you have ever had to game with 16ms gaming monitors and then switch to a 5ms gaming monitor, you'll surely see a remarkable improvement.
2ms Response Time Vs. 1ms
A 1ms response time and a 2ms response time are technically the same. While you get similar performances, 1ms response time remains the top option for gamers. And if gamers are using it a lot more, then there's a chance it trumps a 2ms gaming monitor.
2ms and 1ms gaming monitors have almost similar pricing, so if you're in it for a monitor that will last quite some time, then why not just invest in a high-quality 1ms gaming monitor.
2ms Vs. 4ms Response Time
While it doesn't show a remarkable difference unless you're coming from 1ms response time, you should be able to use any of these two and be just fine if you're a casual gamer. You should remember that a 2ms response time is a lot better than a 4ms response time, and you'll always enjoy gaming with a 2ms response time monitor over a 4ms response time monitor if you're a pro gamer.
Response Time Monitor 2ms Vs. 5ms
Generally, I'd not trouble myself with anything from 5ms and below. 5ms is presently the standard for most gaming monitors, with 2ms being the top of the range set. Yes, 2ms vs. 5ms has a noticeable difference, and when gaming with a monitor with a response time of 5ms, you'd sure see a slower response time when compared to a 2ms monitor.
But this is mostly noticed when you deliberately look for the difference, for the most part, most casual gamers get away with 5ms response time monitors.
2ms Vs. 6ms Response Time
6ms response time is too low for most gamers. While most gamers will easily get away with 5ms response time gaming monitors, 6ms is simply stretching things too far. You will surely see a noticeable difference between 2ms and 6ms monitors. Always shoot for 5ms response time and below, better yet, shoot for 2ms and 1ms for optimal performance.
8ms Vs. 2ms Response Time
2ms response time trumps 8ms anytime. If you're serious about gaming and getting the most out of every gaming session, especially if you're into shooter games and others that require high FPS, then a 2ms gaming monitor will improve your efficiency. 8ms response time isn't good enough for games and gaming consoles these days.
2ms Response Time Monitor – Gaming Monitor with 2ms Response Time
If you are looking for a high-quality gaming monitor with 2ms response time, then you should try the ASUS VE248H 24 inches Full HD monitor.
2ms Response Time TV
If you are looking for a high-quality high response time TV for gaming, I will recommend the TCL 55S425 4K TV. You get an amazing refresh rate, amazing response time, and great color and picture quality.
Samsung Monitor 2ms Response Time
If you are looking out for a good Samsung monitor with 2ms response time, either for work or gaming, the Samsung 850 is one of the best options on the market. You get amazing quality, excellent performance for both work and gaming, and a great build.
IPS Monitor 2ms Response Time
The LG 27GL83A-B is one of the best IPS gaming monitors with healthy response time. You don't just get 2ms, you get an amazing deal. A 1ms gaming monitor for the same price you'll find a gaming monitor with 2ms response time.
