Texas Rockets Into The Future With Own Space Agency
Today, Texas Governor Greg Abbott unveiled the Texas Space Commission at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, marking a significant step forward for the great State of Texas in the space industry. The commission's main goal is to solidify Texas' role as a leader in space exploration and development.
The commission's launch ceremony was held today, Tuesday, March 26, 2024, and included the introduction of the Texas Space Commission Board of Directors and the Texas Aerospace Research and Space Economy Consortium (TARSEC) Executive Committee. These groups will play vital roles in driving Texas' future in space exploration.
With the Texas Space Commission, our great state will have a group that is responsible for dreaming and achieving the next generation of human exploration in space, said Governor Greg Abbott. Texas is the launchpad for Mars, innovating the technology that will colonize humanity's first new planet. As we look into the future of space, one thing is clear: those who reach for the stars do so from the great state of Texas.
In a press release today, Governor Abbott emphasized Texas' historical significance in space exploration, dating back to NASA's Johnson Space Center, which has been pivotal in manned spaceflight. He highlighted Texas' contribution to President Kennedy's vision of landing a man on the moon and expressed excitement about Texas being at the forefront of human exploration in space.
The announcement at NASA's Johnson Space Center was attended by notable figures such as Speaker Dade Phelan, Representative Greg Bonnen, Representative Dennis Paul, NASA's Johnson Space Center Director Vanessa Wyche, and other leaders from the state and aerospace industry.
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick commended Texas' legacy in space exploration and expressed confidence in the commission and consortium to maintain Texas' position as a global leader in space innovation.
The Texas Space Commission will work toward Texas' leadership in civil, commercial, and military aerospace activities by promoting innovation and integrating space industries into the state's economy. TARSEC will focus on research opportunities to strengthen Texas' position in aerospace activities and boost industry integration into the economy.
With these initiatives, Texas is set to continue its pioneering journey into space exploration and development, ensuring a bright future for space innovation in the Lone Star State.

The NGLayout views subsystem is designed to support arbitrary positioning, sizing and depth sorting of overlapping rectangles of content in a platform independent fashion. Most NGLayout rendering operations begin by "damaging" a portion of the area currently being displayed on an output device and then walking over a view tree in z depth order allowing each view to repair parts of the damaged area they occupy. Event handling within NGLayout also goes through the view system giving view objects the first opportunity to handle event processing (within each view, there is generally content represented by layout Frames that do most of the real event processing). View update operations can either happen in an offscreen buffer or directly on the output device depending on the complexity of the anticipated update. Timed refreshes also occur allowing many damage requests to be processed as a single update to the output device. In addition to representing specially positioned content, a view may also represent an underlying platform native window through it's association with the Widget subsystem. The Widgets can be used to represent application controls such as scrollbars and top level windows and content objects such as HTML form elements. See the Widgets documentation for further information.
Currently, there are four different classes within the view system. Naturally, more can be added as deemed necessary:
- Basic View class responsible for positioning, sizing, painting and event handling as a container for underlying content. Currently, the "compositor," which is responsible for handling issues of transparent views when painting, also lives inside the base view class implementation. In order to allow new types of views to be created without the need for subclassing off of the base view, this code will most likely move into the ViewManager.
- Scrolling View which has private child views representing scrollbars and additional methods for handling the scrolling of an additional child view that the owner of the scrolling view can add to the scrolling view.
View Manager which coordinates all operations
done to/through the view hierarchy including:
- child view insertion, removal and sorting.
- event handling.
- damage repair coordination.
- view state changes (position, size, clip rect, z index, visibility)
View Observer which allows an application
to receive notification when changes occur involving a view. Currently,
- event handling
- on screen position change
1. View Manager.
Applications create views and then added them to the view hierarchy through the view manager. From that point on, the application requests that changes be made to views via the view manager. This allows the view manager to "do the right thing" when views are changed. Typically this means minimizing the damage repair area and frequency of updates. As mentioned previously, views are arranged in a hierarchy. The relationship of sibling views is maintained through either an absolute z index for each view, or above/below relative to another view. When the view hierarchy is traversed, views are encountered in top down order and from nearest z to furthest z.2. View class.
This is the base view class and the one generally created by content that requires a view. Examples of such content are CSS positioned elements, Communicator 4 layers, objects that require Widgets such as form elements, etc. Since views are designed to act as containers for content, there is a link to that content which can be set and queried with the Get/SetClientData() methods.3. Scrolling view.
In general, views hold state, but don't do much in terms of changing or manipulating other objects. That job is left to the view manager.
Child views are not clipped to the boundaries of their parent views unless a cliprect is specifically set on a view. A clip rect clips the content displayed by a view and any of it's children.
The view contains a "compositor" which processes the view tree at rendering time to optimally paint the damaged area. This involves determining if any of the views are "transparent" and then doing back-to-front/front-to-back view processing to repair the damage. Views currently have an opacity property that the compositor will use to alpha blend views together. This functionality will be moving into the view manager.
The scrolling view, which is used as the root level view for NGLayout documents, is essentially designed to act as a container which expects that it's size will be smaller than the views that it contains. It also assumes that the application will want to be able to scroll over the area that is "inside" of it. As such it will automatically sprout scrollbars when the scrolling view is too small to display all of it's contents. It has additional APIs over the standard view to allow the application to get and set the offset into the visible content area and to recompute the size of the scrollbar thumb and position based on the sizes of the objects that it contains.4. View Observer.
When views need to paint or have events handled that do not relate to the view, the observer's Paint() and HandleEvent() methods are called. The application can query the affected view for client data stored there by the application to associate the view with an application specific object. In addition, if an application object needs to know when it's position has been changed on the "screen" it can be notified of this by the observer.
- Since views may have Widgets associated with them, and as views change shape they need to tell the Widgets about these changes, there is a dependency on the Widget library.
- Much of what the view manager does involves output refresh management so it has knowledge of the graphics system.
- We would like to be able to alpha blend views together.

Mark Nozzle Orientation on Dish Fabrication:
I would like to explain in this post how to mark the nozzle on the dishes or heads through the use of fabrication methods and terms. By using AutoCAD software how to mark the nozzles on the exact position with proper angles and radius as follows.
Nozzle Orientation process in AutoCAD:
- First, observe the dish or head outer diameter with measurement tape or with any other types of equipment as your wish.
- After that plan, the elevation and how many nozzles are required for the dish. I already mention the all the details in the below AutoCAD drawing tutorial you can check the video.
- Then after mark the centre point on the top of dish with a marker by measuring the four parts. That means to divide the 360 degrees into four parts then you get each part 90 degrees.
- Draw one of the horizontal and vertical lines to form a centre point of the top dish.
- consider how many nozzles are required for example in this I am taking 8 nozzles. divide this by 360 degrees then you get each nozzle angle.
- 360 degrees/8 nozzles are equal to 45 degrees.
- Then you get each degree angle of all eight nozzles are 45 degrees
- This is easy to draw in AutoCAD with exact angles coming to fabrication terms it is somewhat difficult the process as follows:
- Mark the dish centre by using a dot-punch
- Check the OCF of the dish
- Example: 5232 mm OCF of the dish
= 5232 mm/360 degrees
= 14.81 degrees (each degree)
4. Example: The radius of the nozzle orientation is 645 mm
5. Mark the radius on the top of the dish with a large divider with the exact measurement and you can also adjust the measurements.
6. At the end of the dish measure the OCF of the dish after that list out all the angles where you want to place the angles for example:
0 to 60 degrees x 14.81 degrees = 888.6 mm
60 to 90 degrees x 14.81 degrees = 444.3 mm
90 to 120 degrees x 14.81 degrees = 444.3 mm
Like this, you can measure the all the angles with this process.
7. After getting the all the angles mark the distance at the bottom end of the circular dish with measuring tape and marker or dot punch.
8. after intersecting the all the dots with the centre point of the top dish then you can observe the angles on the Radius of the orientation and place the nozzles.
- Check the actual Radius (R)
- Check the pipe sizes equal or not
- Measure the lengths and angles properly with measurement tape
- Maintain the pipe cutting gap should be 10 mm
- After cut the orientation by the plasma torch.
- Fabricate the all the nozzles as per standards sch40, sch80 and ASA 150# SORF flanges Table-E PCD or normal as per client requirements.

Abstract
Fault diagnosis plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of complex industrial systems. Among various existing methods, graph convolutional network (GCN)-based methods can handle graph-structured data commonly found in industrial systems, due to their capability to capture complex relationships within datasets through association graphs. However, conventional GCN models exclusively consider positive association relationship between data, but do not account for the negative one, resulting in embedding vectors that exhibit clustering tendencies and the over-smoothing issue. To address these challenges, a positive–negative GCN-based fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper. In the method, the conventional association graph is treated as a positive graph, and a corresponding negative one is constructed to capture negative relationships within the dataset. Furthermore, a graph-level data aggregation strategy is introduced to aggregate the information from both association graphs, and incorporate them into the forward propagation process. Fault diagnosis is achieved using a iteratively trained GCN model. Experimental results on two cases demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing fault diagnosis methods in terms of diagnostic performance.

Versioning Bots
In this tutorial you will learn how to manage deployments of bots between environments in the ServisBOT Platform.
ServisBOT provides all clients with a staging and production organization.
It is recommended to lock down access to the production environment and only allow access to the deployment and debug teams. Changes can be done and tested in staging, and then deployed using our tooling.
General Versioning process
 - Start by developing and building your bot in your staging organization.
 - At regular intervals, download a version of your bot and check it into a code versioning tool like Github.
 - When ready to go live, use our sb-cli command line tool to import/update the move over production.
 - Validate functionality on production.
Development can begin following one of our getting started tutorials.
Secrets are not exported or migrated between orgs, but since they are referenced by alias, all that is needed is to make sure that secrets exist in both orgs with the same alias.
Inside the BaaS that uses secrets, there will be a Credentials field.
It is assumed that your staging and product environments will require entirely different secrets, all that needs to match is the alias.
Downloading the Bot
 1. Create a folder for your bot project
 2. Initiate some sort of version control for that folder
 3. Log into your staging organization using the ServisBOT CLI and download a definition.
sb-cli bot download BOTNAME
This will include all workers, BaaS, intents, slots, and the default endpoint related to the bot.
Uploading Your BOT
 1. Log into your production organization using the CLI.
 2. Re-upload the bot Definitions
sb-cli bot upload.
the. just denotes current directory.
Test your bot!
You should be all set to test your bot in the platform now.

Q From Ginger Johnson: I am curious as to the origin of vamp. The vampire to vamp connection (as in Theda Bara) is straightforward, but how on earth did it come to have something to do with music?
A It has nothing to do with vampires, but its origin is almost equally weird. The word comes from the medieval French avant-pied, literally "before the foot", in reference to the forepart of the foot, in particular the part of hose or stockings below the ankle. It became corrupted in English to vampe, said as two syllables, and then vamp. (In the eighteenth century the old pronunciation was revived through a fashion for short stockings that covered only the foot and ankle, which were called vampeys.) This sense of vamp is preserved in the meaning that denotes the part of a boot or shoe that covers the upper front part of the foot.
It seems that in the middle seventeenth century the word came to be used for anything that had been patched up or refurbished (like darned stockings, we may guess), as in the old phrase to vamp something up for repairing or improving something. This is more commonly now found in the verb to revamp, an American term invented in the 1850s from this existing sense of vamp. Nearer the end of the nineteenth century vamp was adopted by musicians for those short simple phrases, usually improvised, that one plays quietly in the background or as an introduction, presumably because they were patching up a gap or silence.

Rename Indexes
THIS TOPIC APPLIES TO: yesSQL Server (starting with 2016)yesAzure SQL DatabasenoAzure SQL Data Warehouse noParallel Data Warehouse
This topic describes how to rename an index in SQL Server 2016 by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL. Renaming an index replaces the current index name with the new name that you provide. The specified name must be unique within the table or view. For example, two tables can have an index named XPK_1, but the same table cannot have two indexes named XPK_1. You cannot create an index with the same name as an existing disabled index. Renaming an index does not cause the index to be rebuilt.
In This Topic
Before You Begin
Limitations and Restrictions
When you create a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint on a table, an index with the same name as the constraint is automatically created for the table. Because index names must be unique within the table, you cannot create or rename an index to have the same name as an existing PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint on the table.
Security
Permissions
Requires ALTER permission on the index.

Failure Modes of Rolling Bearing - Plastic Deformation
Source: ZYS Published:2022-05-16
Plastic deformation is the permanent deformation that occurs when the stress exceeds the yield strength of the material. It generally occurs in two different ways:
1. Macroscopically, the contact load between the rolling elements and the raceway causes yielding to occur over most of the contact trajectory.
2. Microscopically, the foreign object is rolled between the rolling elements and the raceway, and yielding occurs only in a small part of the contact trajectory.

What is Bar Bending Schedule?
What is Bar Bending Schedule?
TwitCount Button
Bar Bending Schedule or BBS is actually a detailed tabulated worksheet showing the particulars of reinforcing bars as needed in reinforcement drawings of a structure. The phrase "Bar Bending" is so because at the steel yard where different types of reinforcement are cut and bent this table is used as a reference to bend the reinforcement bars in desired and required shape and sizes.
What is Bar Bending Schedule?
What is Bar Bending Schedule?
What information a bar bending schedule has?
Bar Bending Schedule is expected to contain all the important information and summarizes in tabular form. A good bar bending schedule must contain the following information :-
 1. Bar Mark No.
 2. Cut Length
 3. No. of Pieces
 4. Bar Cut Shape
 5. Bar Diameter
To know more about each of the above information, how to calculate and what it should be please follow this link.
Therefore now we are able to prepare a Template of a bar bending schedule; a typical bar bending schedule would be like this :-
A typical Bar Bending Schedule Table
A typical Bar Bending Schedule Table
Now from here you might be asking one question that what actually is the need of this tedious job of preparing Bar Bending Schedule.
What is the need of Bar Bending Schedule?
The simplest answer for this question would be that money matters a lot and reinforcement bars, in any project, takes a healthy share of the financial term of the project. Therefore in order to purchase material we need an estimate which should be near-to-actual during execution, this estimate may differs from engineer estimate which is only on the basis of experience and is only taking construction or bidding tender drawings as reference which are general and typical.
Thus with the help of Bar Bending Schedule you would have a clear figure about how much reinforcement you need to purchase of various diameters. After purchase the reinforcement the next phase is to cut and bend.
This cutting and bending must follow the bar shape shown in the bar bending schedule, thus before execution bar bending schedule is a must-to-have document at site. It is a good working technique because we cannot bear any error or mistake during this cutting and bending which otherwise will cause financial problems for all concerned.
The next phase after project execution is witness of the quantity by engineer at site as per drawings and verification of this quantity for further payment and financial steps. Engineer during steel fixing check the rebar as per the shop drawing and ensure it matches the bar bending schedule duly approved by the quantity and measurement engineer.
Thus for the payment of the contractor by client this document is also needed.
The contractor actually submits a document called Quantity Witness Report (QWR) to the engineer having attached all the documents required like, reinforcement approved inspection requests, approved structural shop drawings, approved bar bending schedules. This is then verified by the engineer.
What are the qualities of a good bar bending schedule?
It is always ensured that the person preparing the bar bending schedule must have a solid site execution experience. The rebar designation and cut length must be carefully selected as it will be the defining point for the scrap which will be remained after cutting and bending.
To know more about what are the qualities of a good bar bending schedule follow below link :-

One method would be to subtract year from year and classify the resultant raster as a delta temp map (values around 0 being no change, larger changes being classified with warmer or cooler temperatures). Alternatively, find the mean value of the dataset: raster1+raster2+raster3...raster(n) / n. Reclassify each as to a function of being above/below mean.

MPD Emergency Response Plan
In emergency situations that affect public safety, law enforcement will be among the first responding agencies. In the District of Columbia, residents, businesses and visitors depend on the MPD to ensure the protection of life and property. The MPD responds to all threats to public safety occurring within the city, while simultaneously providing basic police services in neighborhoods. It is essential that the MPD be prepared to maximize resources and capabilities, to ensure that critical tasks are undertaken efficiently and effectively when a major threat to public safety exists.
The MPD Emergency Response Plan is the standard used to set an appropriate threat Response Level. A response level is required during threat conditions, such as terrorist activity, civil disturbance, natural catastrophe, severe weather or other emergencies that affect the safety and security of the visitors to and residents of the District of Columbia.
The MPD Response Level is designed to provide for the staffing, assignment, and deployment of MPDC members while coordinating activities with DC agencies, neighboring jurisdictions and federal agencies. It is determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee and is based on present and known threats.
There are five color-coded threat designation levels and they are defined as follows:
Response Level RED
A major threat to public safety has occurred
Response Level ORANGE
Information/Intelligence indicating that a major threat to public safety is imminent
Response Level YELLOW
A significant possibility of a major threat to public safety
Response Level BLUE
A general risk to public safety with no credible threats to specific targets
Response Level GREEN
No credible risk of a threat to public safety, routine security is implemented, normal departmental activities continue

Ireland–New Zealand relations
Ireland–New Zealand relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Ireland and New Zealand. Both nations are English speaking nations. As a result of famine and poverty, several thousand Irish people migrated to New Zealand where today approximately 18% of the population can claim Irish heritage. Both nations are members of the Australia Group, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations.
Historically, both Ireland and New Zealand were constitutionally linked when the United Kingdom formally established the Colony of New South Wales in 1788 which included most of present-day New Zealand. In 1840, New Zealand formally joined the British Empire after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The first major contact between both nations was during first wave of Irish immigration to New Zealand. Because the Irish were considered to be "British", it is unknown who the first Irish were to reach New Zealand, however, the first Irish migrants to reach New Zealand would have occurred around 1840 when the New Zealand Company first began assisting would-be migrants to settle in New Zealand. In comparison to Irish immigration to North America and Australia, very few Irish people migrated to New Zealand, mainly due to the cost of travel and the enormous distance between both nations. Over the years, however, several waves of Irish people would migrate to New Zealand and as a result, approximately 18% of the population of New Zealand today can claim Irish descent.
Both Irish and New Zealand soldiers fought side by side for the British Empire during the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902 and World War I from 1914 to 1918, especially during the Gallipoli Campaign. During the Easter Rising in 1916 and when Ireland declared its independence from the United Kingdom in 1919, many Irish-New Zealanders became involved in the Irish cause, however, their numbers were never great which may have been attributed to the fact that most of those with Irish origins in the country were already second generation New Zealanders with loose connections with Ireland. By 1947, New Zealand essentially became an independent nation after accepting the Statute of Westminster Adopting Act.
In May 1948, former Irish Taoiseach Éamon de Valera traveled to New Zealand seeking support for a united Ireland, but was not successful due to the fact that Ireland remained neutral during World War II whereas New Zealand fought under the Commonwealth in the war. Although New Zealand did not support a united Ireland, many New Zealanders still hold Ireland as an important contributor to their country both culturally and historically.
In 1976, Ireland opened an honorary consulate-general in Auckland to represent Irish interests in the country. The current honorary consul-general is Niamh McMahon. In 2000, New Zealand re-opened an honorary consulate-general in Dublin. Both countries maintain strong political links and similar interests with regards to climate change and peaceful resolutions in trouble zones throughout the world. Several prime ministers have visited each other's countries respectively. Furthermore, three of the Prime Minister of New Zealand have been born in Ireland. Both countries have established working holiday visa with each other and work closely together with regards to agriculture.
Until 2018, the two countries did not have resident embassies in each other's capital, with the Irish Embassy in Canberra, Australia being cross-accredited to Wellington, and the New Zealand High Commission in London in the United Kingdom being cross-accredited to Dublin. In August of that year, however, Ireland opened its first resident embassy in Wellington. In November, New Zealand opened its first resident embassy in Dublin.

HUNG KINGS' COMMEMORATION DAY - Back to The Roots of Our Cultural Values
On Saturday morning March 27, CIS students have visited the Hung Kings Temple at the History Ethnic and Cultural Park (district 9) with over 30 students and teachers from the Saturday Vietnamese Program onboard. Following the Hung Kings Temple, impressive performance, and others, students have been able to engage in a valuable learning experience. During the journey to the Hung Kings Temple, the students had the opportunity to participate in various activities and engage in a valuable learning experience.
Students were listening to a presentation at Hung King Temple
Here, they were able to expand their understanding of their origin as well as learn about the great contributions of the Hung Kings, accompanied by informative lectures. Also, there is an enormous artwork depicting the material and spiritual life of the residents in Van Lang's era, and 33 stones representing the 33 islands of the Truong Sa archipelago, which is a reminder of the awareness of the sea and island sovereignty.
Designing historical Hung Vuong period attire
Following the impressive performance, students soon got to shaping "bánh giày", which are round, white glutinous rice cakes, to recreate the traditional scene of hand pounding rice in the exploration of the 2875-258 BC Van Lang lifestyle
Students glutinous with rice and make bánh giày
Finish cooking of the Hung Vuong dynasty
The succeeding culture-themed games, including Cheraw dance and tug of war, kept spirits high until the end. By allowing students to interact with a part of Vietnam's history, these activities boosted their appreciation for Vietnamese tradition and culture, specifically during the Hung Vuong period.
Cheraw dance
"I can feel the value of Vietnamese history and our country's soul through each unique painting and ancient artifacts. That's what I want to learn and cultivate. I will bring my filial spirit to discover Vietnamese people's cultural values and beauty wherever I go to continue enriching my understanding. It is also luggage for me to bring in my future journey to a new horizon." (Minh Anh, Grade 11)
 At the end of the trip, students took a photo together
All journeys leave behind an unforgettable trace, and those aiming to instigate experience and newfound knowledge surrounding cultural values especially so. This occasion brings meaning and memorable experiences, particularly the students in grade 11 of CIS.

type = 'inline'
Introduction
Inline-Relational-Record-Editing (IRRE) offers a way of directly editing parent-child-relations in one backend view. New child records are created using AJAX calls to prevent a reload of the complete backend view.
type='inline' is a powerful element that allows handling a huge list of relations. This includes simple 1:n and nested 1:n-1:n relations, as well as various m:n relation scenarios with different view aspects and localization setups. Combined with other TCA properties in 'ctrl' and 'types', the sheer amount of different display variants is amazing.
Be aware that inline has been mostly designed to manage 1:n relations. In those relations one parent record can have multiple children, but one child is connected to only one parent. Children can not be moved from one parent to another.
The exception are m:n relations where a child can be connected via an intermediate table to multiple parents, and the intermediate table can have editable fields on its own, thus attaching additional information to one specific parent-child relation. In the core, the "FAL" / resource handling is an example of that. A parent record (for instance of table "tt_content") is connected via table "sys_file_reference" to one media resource in "sys_file". A sys_file record has table "sys_file_metadata" as child record which holds meta information details of the file in question (for instance a description). This information can be overwritten for the specific file resource used in "tt_content" by adding a new description in table "sys_file_reference". The various inline and field properties like "placeholder" help managing this complex setup in TCA.

This combines a table companies with persons (employees):

 'type' => 'inline',

 'foreign_table_field' => 'parenttable',
 'maxitems' => 10,
 'appearance' => [
 'collapseAll' => 1,
 'expandSingle' => 1,
 ],
 ],
],
File Abstraction Layer
Inline-type fields are massively used by the TYPO3 Core in the File Abstraction Layer (FAL) .
FAL provides an API for registering an inline-type field with relations to the "sys_file_reference" table containing information related to existing media. Here is how to use it for the "image" field of table "tt_content":
'image' => [
 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_general.xlf:LGL.images',
 'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
 'image',
 [
 'appearance' => [
 'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
 ],
 // custom configuration for displaying fields in the overlay/reference table
 // to use the image overlay palette instead of the basic overlay palette
 'overrideChildTca' => [
 'types' => [
 '0' => [
 'showitem' => '
 --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
 --palette--;;filePalette'
 ],
 \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_TEXT => [
 'showitem' => '
 --palette--;LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_tca.xlf:sys_file_reference.imageoverlayPalette;imageoverlayPalette,
 --palette--;;filePalette'
 ],
 ],
 ],
 ],
 $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
 ),
],
The method to call is \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig() which takes four parameters. The first one is the name of the field, the second one is an array of configuration options which will be merged with the default configuration. The third one is the list of allowed file types and the fourth one (not used above) the list of disallowed file types. The default field configuration into which the options (second call parameter) are merged looks like:
$fileFieldTCAConfig = [
 'type' => 'inline',
 'foreign_table' => 'sys_file_reference',
 'foreign_field' => 'uid_foreign',
 'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting_foreign',
 'foreign_table_field' => 'tablenames',

Attributes on anti-symmetric intermediate table
This example combines companies with persons (employees) using an intermediate table. It is also possible to add attributes to every relation – in this example, an attribute "jobtype" on the "person_company" table is defined. It is also possible to look at the relation from both sides (parent and child):
$GLOBALS['TCA']['person'] = [
 'columns' => [
 'employers' => [
 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myextension/locallang_db.xml:person.employers',
 'config' => [
 'type' => 'inline',
 'foreign_table' => 'person_company',
 'foreign_field' => 'person',
 'foreign_label' => 'company',
 ],
 ],
 ],
];
$GLOBALS['TCA']['company'] = [
 'columns' => [
 'employees' => [
 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myextension/locallang_db.xml:company.employees',
 'config' => [
 'type' => 'inline',
 'foreign_table' => 'person_company',
 'foreign_field' => 'company',

ALTER GROUP groupname ADD USER username [,... ] ALTER GROUP groupname DROP USER username [,... ] ALTER GROUP groupname RENAME TO newname
ALTER GROUP changes the attributes of a user group. This is an obsolete command, though still accepted for backwards compatibility, because groups (and users too) have been superseded by the more general concept of roles.
The first two variants add users to a group or remove them from a group. (Any role can play the part of either a "user" or a "group" for this purpose.) These variants are effectively equivalent to granting or revoking membership in the role named as the "group"; so the preferred way to do this is to use GRANT or REVOKE.
The third variant changes the name of the group. This is exactly equivalent to renaming the role with ALTER ROLE.
The name of the group (role) to modify.
Users (roles) that are to be added to or removed from the group. The users must already exist; ALTER GROUP does not create or drop users.
The new name of the group.
Add users to a group:
ALTER GROUP staff ADD USER karl, john;

Why Is My Cat Panting?
What does it mean if my cat is panting?
A cat's normal breathing rhythm should be smooth and unlaboured. Panting is usually a sign that something isn't right with your cat. Cats only breathe hard with their mouths open when they are very stressed, extremely hot, or a disease process is occurring.
There are plenty of senior cat conditions that could bring on a sudden bout of laborious panting.
But panting isn't confined to old age. According to Dr Catheryn Walsh from Greencross Vets Robina Village, serious medical conditions that can bring on panting include heart failure, asthma, cancer, fluid build-up in and around the lungs, bronchitis, pneumonia, or a tumour.
Regardless of the cause, if your cat is panting, it's important you visit your local Greencross Vets immediately. Tests may include blood evaluation to check for heartworm, infections, anaemia and diabetes. A chest ultrasound or X-rays may be carried out to check for fluid around the heart and lungs.
In the meantime…
There isn't a whole lot you can do at home for a panting cat, although Dr Walsh recommends the following quick tips while preparing to go to the vet.
 - keep both the cat and yourself calm
 - if you think your cat has overheated, moisten the feet and ears with a cool, wet towel
 - do not give your cat any food or water by mouth
Always consult your local Greencross Vets if you are worried about symptoms in your pet.

Spanish Ebro Delta acts as testing lab to make rice cultivation resistant to soil salinisation
Friday, 8 November, 2019
The future of the rice in the Spanish Ebro Delta is threatened by soil salinisation, caused by rising sea levels and erosion of the Delta. Besides, the apple snail, a tropical pest introduced in the area, is ravaging rice crops by eating and uprooting young plants. A local Operational Group is testing how rice dry seeding can reduce the apple snail population and how this affects soil salinity.

Fusible interfacing is brilliant and time-saving, but can leave you with a messy edge on the inside of your garment. You can finish the edge with a finishing stitch, or you can take a little time to neaten it before you even fuse your interfacing to your fabric! Follow these five simple steps for a professional-looking finish on the inside of your garment:
- Place facing pieces right side up, and place the interfacing pieces on top with the fusible side facing up (so the non-fusible side of the interfacing pieces should be meeting the right side of the facing pieces).
- Pin along the inner edge (the part that will not be sewn into the neckline seam).
- Using a straight stitch on a regular machine, attach the facing pieces to the interfacing pieces with a narrow seam (⅛"-¼").
- Turn the facing and interfacing pieces right side out, and smooth the facing out on top of the interfacing piece. If necessary, use a point turner to ensure that the seam you have just sewn is fully turned out.
- Press the facing pieces with the interfacing pieces below them, to fuse the interfacing to the facing.

Last month I spend some time on migrating an Azure PAYG subscription to an Azure CSP subscription. It seems like moving around some resources between resource groups is not that complex but I ran into some issues during the move which made me write down this post.
Before we start with the actual migration you should first draft a plan based on the different type of resources in you Azure subscription. I have used the following approach:
In this step we collect all the information of the current subscription. You can use the following tools and steps to get the information:

GSOA Hopes to Drive Space Sustainability With New Code of Conduct
The Global Satellite Operators Association (GSOA) hopes to play a key role and drive better behaviors in the area of space sustainability. GSOA released a Code of Conduct on Space Sustainability on Nov. 13 — calling on operators to implement responsible practices that mitigate the risk of in-orbit collision, minimize the threat of non-trackable debris, protect humans in space and limit effects on optical astronomy. It is a major new initiative.
As the only CEO-driven satellite association in the world, GSOA – a global industry organization representing over 70 members, with satellite operators in all orbits, launchers, suppliers and partners – aims to take the lead in addressing global challenges, seizing opportunities, and providing a unified voice for the satellite industry. Satellite connectivity can significantly help reduce today's digital divide, as the number of satellite broadband users is set to double to at least 500 million people by 2030, according to GSOA.
"Satellites in all orbits deliver vital satellite connectivity and high throughput broadband services. While they offer great promises in bridging the digital divide, they must be launched, deployed, operated and disposed of in a responsible manner," Isabelle Mauro, the director general of GSOA, said in a statement.


How to convert binary format bytes into PDF via parasoft tool.
NeilNeil Posts: 38
Hello,
I am using parasoft SOA test 9.9 .
I want to know how to convert binary bytes to PDF format via Parasoft SOA test tool.
Is there any Add-in or extension tool to convert binary bytes into PDF and view the same via browser.
Comments
 - benken_parasoftbenken_parasoft Posts: 658 ✭✭✭
 Can you clarify what you mean by "convert binary bytes into PDF"? A PDF is a binary file format (not a text format). What do these bytes represent such that you think they need to be converted in some way? How are you using these bytes in your test suite and where do they come from? After you have the pdf content converted from your "binary bytes", what do you want to do with it? Do you want to write the PDF content to a file, send it somewhere, or something else? Or are you saying the "binary bytes" are the PDF content but you just don't know how to write it out to disk?

 Hello Benken,
 I am getting a xml kind of data in response , I want to write the content to a file.
 I am attaching the response screen shot.
 question:
 -for some reason I was not able to copy the content in response traffic manually.
 - I tried to extract it to data, but still I was not able to extract to data bank.
 thanks,
 suhas
 - benken_parasoftbenken_parasoft Posts: 658 ✭✭✭
 It looks like your response is a PDF. To write the response message to a file, just chain a Write File tool to the Response output of your test.

 Thank you Benkenn... Adding write file worked.

The focus of this survey is on research in applying evolutionary and other metaheuristic search algorithms to automatically generating content for games, both digital and nondigital (such as board games). The term search-based procedural content generation is proposed as the name for this emerging field, which at present is growing quickly. A taxonomy for procedural content generation is devised, centering on what kind of content is generated, how the content is represented and how the quality/fitness of the content is evaluated; search-based procedural content generation in particular is situated within this taxonomy. This article also contains a survey of all published papers known to the authors in which game content is generated through search or optimisation, and ends with an overview of important open research problems.

Fixed tenon and single mortise: A tenon was shaped from the end on one timber and inserted into the mortise of the other. When the tenon of a large vertical timber was left unlocked, as in masts, and sternposts, it was said to be stepped.
Free tenon and two mortises: The most common method of edge-joining planking in ancient and early medieval vessels in the Mediterranean area, it also was used to secure adjoining surfaces of parallel timbers, such as stems and floor timber chocks. Corresponding mortises were cut into each planking edge; a single hardwood tenon was inserted into the lower plank and the adjacent plank fitted over the protruding tenon. In many instances, the joint was locked by driving tapered hardwood pegs into holes drilled near each strake or timber edge.
Free tenon and three or more mortises: Used in superstructure fabrications or places where hull planking was too narrow to provide sufficient seating for the desired tenon length. Al through small planking joints whose tenons are unpegged and contribute no structural strength are essentially coak joints, the term mortise-and-tenon joint has become universally accepted for all such forms of edge joinery.

text: In order to obtain insight into the structure of cobalt phthalocyanine dimers, molecular mechanics calculations were performed on dimeric cobalt phthalocyanine species. Molecular mechanics calculations are first presented on monomeric cobalt(II) phthalocyanine. Using the Tripos force field for the organic part of the molecule and parameters derived from the literature and subsequently optimized to describe the CoII force field resulted in a geometry that is in very good agreement with experimental data from the literature. Optimization of the dimeric structure leads to a geometry in which both phthalocyanines are separated by 3.2 Å and one of the molecules is shifted 2.38 Å in both the X- and Y-directions with respect to the other. This geometry is in excellent agreement with literature data on ß-Co(pc) crystals and with other calculated and experimental data on similar systems. All calculations were performed with three possible charge distributions in the phthalocyanine molecule and it was shown that varying the charge distribution had no significant effect on the final dimeric structure. This method provides valuable insight into the most important energetic interactions leading to dimer formation.

Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a rapid expansion in the use of telemedicine. This study aimed to assess the experiences of hemangioma specialists utilizing telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic to evaluate and manage infantile hemangiomas (IH), including perceived effectiveness of different modalities and barriers to care delivery. Methods: Multicenter cross-sectional study asking providers to describe their experiences using telemedicine for initial evaluation of IH from March to September 2020. Results: The study included 281 patients from 15 medical centers internationally. Median time from referral to evaluation was 17 days. Median physician confidence in performing evaluations via telemedicine was 95.0 (IQR 90.0–100.0). Most evaluations were performed via video communication with photographs or audio communication with photographs; when not initially available, photographs were requested in 51.4%. Providers preferred follow-up modalities that included photographs. Conclusions: Physicians with extensive expertise in managing IH are confident in their abilities to assess and manage IH via telemedicine including initiating treatment in patients without risk factors for beta-blocker therapy. There was a preference for hybrid modalities that included photographs. The data suggest that telemedicine can be effective for managing IH and may decrease wait times and improve specialist reach to underserved areas.

Optimal Design of Roller One Way Clutch for Starter Drives 2004-01-1151
The starter drive clutch is a one way roller clutch and a key component in a starter motor that is used to crank internal combustion engines. The starter drive clutch transmits torque from an electrical motor to a ring gear mounted on a cranking shaft in an engine thus cranks the engine. The clutch also prevents the whole starter from damage caused by extremely high load and/or extremely high speed applied to the starter pinion from the engine.
Drive slippage and barrel cracking are two major failure modes for the starter drive. Insufficient torque capacity results in drive slippage while excessive high hoop stress on the clutch barrel ring causes barrel crack. To eliminate drive slippage failure, the clutch should be designed with high torque capacity. High torque capacity, however, is a cause of high hoop stress on the barrel that may result in the cracked barrel failure. Higher torque capacity and lower hoop stress are two completely opposite design directions. So, an optimal design approach should be applied to the clutch design. The optimal design of the clutch is maximizing torque capacity of the clutch and minimizing hoop stress on the barrel. Thus, optimization of the clutch is to design a clutch to achieve maximum torque and minimum hoop stress. To achieve this goal, an optimization model is derived based on the mechanism of the clutch. A sensitivity analysis is used to select the most effective parameters for the optimization in this multiple variables optimization. A constant strut angle is introduced to reduce changing strut angle during the clutch works. Finally, a case study shows this optimal design approach improved clutch design.

A Polje is a large flat-bottomed valley feature of limestone regions formed by prolonged dissolution. The Carron Polje is the largest enclosed depression in Ireland, with an area of approximately 4.5 square kilometres. The "disappearing lake" or Turlough is the most noticeable part of the Polje.
The depression began forming several millions of years ago when overlying shale layers were eroded and rainwater began the slow process of dissolving the underlying limestone. As erosion continued and the depression grew, insoluble components of the limestone accumulated and formed an impermeable layer over the limestone, this prevented further downward dissolution and encouraged the lateral widening of the depression giving us the flat-bottomed feature we see today.
The disappearing lake or Turlough is the most obvious part of the Polje. After significant rainfall the bottom of the valley fills with water to form a lake. The only outlet to drain the water is through a small natural karst fissure in the limestone at the southern margin of the lake. This can get blocked by mud or other debris and drains slowly. If there is no significant rainfall the water will drain and the lake will disappear only to fill again after more rain. During dry periods the lake floor is grazed by cattle.
Despite the relatively high amount of rainfall (>1000mm per year) there is only one small surface river in the Burren. This is because soil is very thin or absent and the limestone has been karstified, so deep fissures carry the surface water underground very quickly. These fissures form a complex network and sometimes form conduits that can transport water long distances very quickly. The water that flows underground from the end of the Carron Tulough is known to emerge 6km to the south near Kilnaboy. This makes the Burrren particularly vulnerable to water pollution.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know whether, assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, it would be possible to establish a "natural" correspondence between abelian varieties and functions belonging to the Selberg class S in such a way: 1) One associates to a simple abelian variety a primitive function of S, 2) One associates to an abelian variety of dimension d a function of S of degree d, 3) If V is an abelian variety isogenous to a product of abelian varieties of lower dimensions V_1, V_2,... V_n, then the function F of S related to V is the product of the F_i where F_i is the function of S related to V_i.
Thank you in advance.

This is an interesting question, though I know little about Selberg's class S. One comment though: when you say "natural correspondence between", it makes it sound like you mean a bijection. (That seems unlikely in this case, because there are uncountably many functions in Selberg's class and only countably many abelian varieties over number fields.) But anyway reading more carefully it looks like you are not suggesting a correspondence, but rather a mapping (functor?) from abelian varieties into Selberg's class. – Pete L. Clark Dec 13 '10 at 19:55
Indeed the word "correspondence" may not fit exactly what I have on my mind, but my English is far from being perfect (I'm French). I didn't know that there were uncountably many functions in S, would you have some reference? By the way, still assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, do both abelian varieties and Selberg's class form semi-simple categories? If so, the concept of functor from abelian varieties into Selberg's class, as you suggested, may be the good way to express my idea. – Sylvain JULIEN Dec 13 '10 at 22:49
I think you need to assume the Hasse-Weil conjecture (an L-function of every abelian variety over ${\mathbb Q}$ is entire with the expected functional equation), so get this map; if I am not mistaken, this does not obviously follow just from Selberg orthonormality. Also, as Pete remarks, the image is not the whole Selberg class. I do not know about uncountability, but e.g. you won't get non self-dual $L$-functions, like those of Dirichlet characters of order $\gt 2$. And, even restricting to the self-dual ones, $L$-functions of all etale cohomology groups of all algebraic varieties... – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:22
...are supposed to be in the Selberg class. I am not an expert, but I thought there are motives (e.g. cohomology groups of some Calabi-Yaus?) that are not realizable inside abelian varieties because the weights are wrong. But otherwise that that, I think it is expected that there is a map like this. – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:23
Sorry, I know almost nothing about the Selberg Class and was using the wikipedia article on the subject as a reference. But worse than that, I wasn't reading it carefully. My thought was as simple as the following: if you scale an element of the Selberg class by a nonzero real number you get another element of the Selberg class. But actually this is not true: the Dirichlet series needs to be "normalized": $a_1 = 1$. So I retract my comment about uncountability! – Pete L. Clark Dec 20 '10 at 2:10
1 Answer 1
(Assuming the abelian varieties are supposed to be defined over $\mathbf{Q}$). For every dimension $d\geq 1$, select a cuspidal automorphic representation $f_d$ of $GL(d)$ over the rationals. Then map any simple $A$ of dimension $d$ to $L(f_d,s)$, and extend by multiplicativity using the simple factors of a general $A$ up to isogeny.
(Of course this question is utterly artificial; it seems reasonable to think that the only natural $L$-function associated to an abelian variety is its Hasse-Weil $L$-function, which has degree $2\dim(A)$.)

Room criteria curves

(RC) A set of contours that serves as optimum spectrum shapes for background sound in buildings. Octave band spectra that align with a single RC curve are considered neutrally balanced. Neutrally balanced spectra have the proper amounts of low-, mid- and high-frequency sound energy to cause them to be perceived as innocuous, even though audible. RC curves are straight lines set at -5 dB/octave slopes. The RC rating of a spectrum is determined through methods defined in ANSI S12.2. The rating method arrives at a single-number rating with other designators identifying neutral, rumbly or hissy characteristics.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement differences with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) are affected by atmospheric pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber.
To compare IOP measurements obtained with GAT and DCT in 22 normal individuals at different atmospheric pressures simulated in a hyperbaric chamber.
The IOP of both eyes of 22 healthy volunteers was measured using GAT and DCT at 4 different atmospheric pressure levels.
Starting at 1 Queretaro atmospheric pressure (QATM), the IOP was measured with GAT and DCT. The atmospheric pressure was then increased to 1.1 QATM (equivalent to 1032 m above sea level), 1.2 QATM (equivalent to 315 m above sea level), and 1.25 QATM (equivalent to sea level), starting 5 minutes after reaching each level. The limits of agreement between various measurements with each tonometer were calculated using the Bland-Altman plots.
The first 4 subjects were used to measure feasibility, consistency, variability, and the time needed for IOP to return to baseline after each atmospheric pressure increase.
For the entire 44 eyes, the mean GAT IOP at 1 QATM was 12.23 mm Hg (range, 8 to 20 mm Hg; SD, 2.84) and mean DCT was 16.36 (range, 12.1 to 25.3; SD, 2.84), with a mean 4.14 mm Hg difference (range, −0.1 to 7.5 mm Hg; SD, 1.62; P<0.001).
Using the second measurements of the first 4 subjects and those after 5 minutes of adaptation for the rest of the group at 1.1 QATM, mean GAT IOP was 11.05±2.68 mm Hg and mean DCT IOP was 15.60±3.02 mm Hg, for a mean difference between instruments of 4.56±1.81 mm Hg (P<0.001).
At 1.2 QATM, mean GAT IOP was 11.14±2.53 mm Hg and mean DCT IOP was 15.39±2.91 mm Hg. The difference between instruments was 4.25±2.12 mm Hg (P<0.001).
At 1.25 QATM, the mean GAT IOP was 12.39±3.11 mm Hg and mean DCT IOP was 14.91±2.73 mm Hg. The difference between instruments after 5 minutes of adaptation was 2.53±1.62 mm Hg (P<0.001).
Generalized estimating equations for performing linear regression multivariable analysis using atmospheric pressure, expressed as altitude, and age as covariates, shows that the difference between GAT and DCT increases by 1 mm Hg per 673 m of increase of altitude above sea level. Age was not a significant predictor.
Acute changes in atmospheric pressure induce changes in IOP measurements for both GAT and DCT and in different directions. Despite the limitation of sample size, it may be postulated that the difference of IOP measurements between the 2 tonometers increases with lower atmospheric pressures.

Mount Moriah Cemetery Research
The Friends of Moriah Moriah have access to the records that were left behind in the office building when the cemetery was abandoned. They are housed off-site, and are not directly accessible to the public.
Due to the size and condition of the cemetery, we do not offer a photography service.
About the Records
- Details on burials from the last few years before the cemetery closed in April 2011 are scarce. We are usually unable to provide grave locations for 2010 and 2011.
- The records usually contain name, burial date, section and lot. They sometimes offer the deceased's approximate age and cause of death. There is no other genealogical information available in the records, and we cannot tell if a headstone or marker is present.
- If your ancestor was moved from another cemetery to Mount Moriah, we cannot search by the original death date. Researchers need to provide the date of re-burial at Mount Moriah.
- In most cases, we are unable to provide details on who purchased a lot.
- There are maps of the cemetery and of most individual sections. For sections without maps, we are unable to pinpoint exact grave locations, as we do not have a reference for where the rows, divisions, or lots are oriented.
We estimate there are nearly 200,000 burials on the nearly 200 acre property. Because there is not a complete index of all burials, please contact us with a detailed request including the first and last name of the deceased, and date of death (day, month, and year).
If you are unsure of a death date, or need to confirm burial at Mount Moriah before requesting a lookup, there are a variety of options.

text: Immigrants often have lower rates of depression than US-natives, but longitudinal assessments across multiple racial–ethnic groups are limited. This study examined the rates of prevalent, acquired, and persisting major depression and dysthymia by nativity and racial–ethnic origin while considering levels of acculturation, stress, and social ties. Data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions were used to model prevalence and 3-year incidence/persistence of major depression and dysthymia (DSM-IV diagnoses) using logistic regression. Substantive factors were assessed using standardized measures. The rates of major depression were lower for most immigrants, but differences were noted by race–ethnicity and outcome. Furthermore, immigrants had higher prevalence but not incidence of dysthymia. The associations between substantive factors and outcomes were mixed. This study describes and begins to explain immigrant trajectories of major depression and dysthymia over a 3-year period. The continuing research challenges and future directions are discussed.

The objective of this research was to estimate the effect of beef grinding on the accuracy of estimating fat content using a computer-aided video image analysis. Photographs of the analyzed beef trimmings from the fabrication line were taken. Next, each meat sample was ground in a grinder with a plate having 10 mm openings and, again, photographs of the meat ground were taken. Based on the photographs taken, a computer-aided video image analysis was performed. Furthermore, in the meat analyzed, a reference fat content was determined using a standard Soxhlet method. The parameters as determined by the VIA method (i.e. the RGB colour values and the content of white fields – corresponding with the fat and connective tissue) were correlated with fat content determined by a reference method. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and this analysis disclosed significant dependencies between the content of white fields determined by the VIA method and the fat content determined by the Soxhlet method in the case of both the non-ground and the ground meat. The similar values of correlation coefficients referring to the non ground and ground meat allow for the statement that the grinding degree has not a big effect on the accuracy of estimating the fat content therein using the computer-aided video analysis method.

Finding a home has never been easy for the Vancouver Art Gallery.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Whether it's the current move into a brand new building or the first gallery, it's always been a challenge finding the money and the will to build a public art gallery for Vancouver.
Earlier in the 20th century, it took six years to build the first Vancouver Art Gallery.
The process started in 1925 when Henry Athelstan and his wife announced they would donate $50,000 in honour of their son who died in 1918. Stone and the initial founders added another $50,000 to make a $100,000 pot of money to buy art – if the city donated a site and a building. Council turned it down.
Next, the people of Vancouver had a say. They didn't like what they were hearing. They voted against spending $75,000 in public money to build a city art gallery.
A few years later, when the group of founders increased from the original five to 11, they sweetened the offer to the city: "We'll build the gallery if you donate the site."
Construction on the first VAG at 1145 West Georgia started in April, 1931. Six months later,it was opened. Vancouver had its first "palace of art," as The Vancouver Sun called the new gallery.
The building cost $50,000.
But it didn't take long before the original gallery became inadequate. When its outstanding Emily Carr collection was given to the gallery in 1945, the building wasn't physically big enough to put the works on permanent display for the public. About a year later, the first plans were proposed to spend $200,000 on an extension.
But even that went back and forth for years. Over time, the budget nearly doubled. In 1951, the renovated VAG with an Emily Carr Gallery finally opened.
The renovation and expansion cost $375,000.
"Money and space were always problems," wrote Eve Johnson in The Vancouver Sun.
Art in Vancouver has never had an easy time of it as Johnson recounted the history of the gallery in 1983 when it was about to move into its current home in the former Provincial Courthouse at 750 Hornby.
As before, the move into a new space took years of planning and endless meetings.
It started in 1967 when Tony Emery, the outspoken and innovative director, first suggested that the gallery was too small and needed to expand.
But it wasn't until 1975 that the process to find a new home started in earnest. After Emery's surprise resignation, Luke Rombout took over as director and launched a new and much different era at the gallery. Rombout, as Johnson wrote, "began working on acquiring a new and better building. The VAG began to bring back the businessmen and take the gallery to court."
(In fact, Take the Gallery to Court was the marketing tag for the move.)
Once all the political actors had decided that the Provincial Courthouse was going to be the gallery's home, it took five years of fundraising and two years of renovations to turn the house of law into an art gallery.
A big chunk of the money for the renovation was raised because of rising real estate prices. The city had agreed to put the proceeds of the sale of the 1145 West Georgia site toward the renovation. In 1978, when the city made that committment, the land was valued at $2.5 million.
By 1982, the value had dramatically increased. The city sold it to Manufacturer's Life Insurance for $12 million.
Opening day was Saturday, Oct. 15, 1983.
Cost of the renovation was $20.5 million.

Local Parks grants help protect these symbols of vibrant communities, providing places for families to gather and play and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in an era when people spend increasing amounts of their time inside. The WWRP is the largest source of local parks funding in Washington, helping communities fund the acquisition, development, and renovation of vital recreation areas and green spaces.
Mount Vernon will use this grant to develop Kiwanis Park. The park will include an extensive wetland trails system around a basketball court, a Little League field, a multi-purpose field, as well as a restroom, barbecue area, and picnic shelter. The park is in the center of the residential area of the city.
