Are your cookies raw in the middle, or have they become hard? How to tell when cookies are done is partly a matter of taste because what's crispy to some bakers is overdone to others. Just a minute or two in the oven separates gooey cookies from cookies that are still raw in the middle or crispy cookies from those that are too far gone. Fortunately, there are several ways to check if cookies are done to avoid these cookie catastrophes.
Set the Timer for the Minimum Time
First, before baking cookies, use an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is actually the temperature that is given on the oven dial.
Always check on cookies at the minimum time given in your recipe. You can easily cook them longer if necessary, but you can't "uncook" cookies that have baked too long and are now too hard or too brown. If they need a minute or two longer, be sure to reset the timer for those extra minutes. Thinking you'll just give them a bit longer without setting a precise time is a recipe for getting distracted and letting the cookies burn.
Lift to See the Bottom
Nearly all cookies will brown at least a little on the bottom while they cook, and some recipes even give you a color for which to look, such as slightly brown or light brown. For example, cookies like snowballs – also known as butterballs or Mexican wedding cookies – should not brown on top. The only way to know for sure that they're done is to roll one over and see that it's just slightly brown on the bottom.
Check the Edges
Many times, the recipe will tell you that the edges should be slightly brown or "just beginning to brown." Edges brown before the middle, so the edges can burn while the middle is still cooking. Some cookies – sugar cookies, for example – are best when the edges are set but not brown. You can check the edges visually without lifting the cookie, and with practice, you'll be able to see that the edges look more set than the center of the cookie, even when the edges are not yet brown.
If the recipe tells you to let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes as chocolate chip cookie recipes do, that means the cookies will continue to cook while cooling because the sheet is still very hot. In these cases, you can experiment with the timing of removing the cookies from the oven.
The centers might look like they still need more cooking, and they will do that while they're resting on the cookie sheet. If you wait until the middle is totally cooked, you may find that your cookies are overdone after they cool on the cookie sheet.
Use the Toothpick Test to Know if Cookies Are Done
When cookies are thicker – like when baking brownies, which are essentially bar cookies – you can sometimes use a simple wooden toothpick to test and see if they're done. Insert the toothpick into the middle of the brownies or other bar cookie, and if the toothpick is free of cookie particles when you pull it out, they're done. In fact, they're probably done even if a few particles stick to the toothpick.
If it looks like batter is sticking to the toothpick, though, they're not done unless you're going for gooey brownies. If that's the case, only you can truly know when the brownies are done because cooking time depends on how gooey you like them. Just know that a minute is a long time to a cookie, and going from raw batter to gooey center can be the difference of only a minute or two.

1 Answer 1
You'll need to use a chart customizer class to do this. Create a class that implements the JRChartCustomizer interface, then in the customize() method add the following code:
CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot)jFreeChart.getPlot();
ValueAxis verticalAxis = plot.getRangeAxis();
TickUnits verticalTicks = new TickUnits();
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(1));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(2));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(5));
verticalTicks.add(new NumberTickUnit(10));
The chart engine should always pick the smallest tick unit that does not cause the ticks to overlap. Using this code your chart should hopefully place ticks at every value or every 2 values.

Hello,thank you for the reply,I'am generating this chart without coding using jasperReport and iReport,I'am creating the chart using ireport and then I pass my parameter throw my code using jasperReport to the report – rym Aug 18 '11 at 9:34
_USER_: You do not need to create your chart programmatically, just set the 'Customizer Class' property of the chart in iReport. As long as your customizer class is on the classpath, the method will be called automatically during the report generation. All the other chart options will be just as you designed them in iReport. – GenericJon Aug 18 '11 at 13:10

Celtic field is a popular name for the traces of early (prehistoric) agricultural field systems found in North-West Europe, e.g. Belgium, Britain, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands. The name was given by O.G.S. Crawford. They are sometimes preserved in areas where industrial farming has not been adopted and can date from any time from the Early Bronze Age (c. 1800 BC) until the early medieval period. They can be preserved as earthworks or soil marks.
They are characterised by their proximity to other ancient features such as enclosures, sunken lanes and farmsteads and are divided into a patchwork quilt of square plots rarely more than 2,000 m² in area although larger examples are known (e.g. Dorset and Wiltshire). Their small size implies that each was cultivated by one individual of family.
Lynchets, evidence of early ploughing can often be seen at the upper and lower ends. Large scale Roman agriculture replaced them in lowland Britain and they are more common in less accessible regions such as the West Country.

Performance of piezoceramic sensors
thesisposted on 08.06.2021, 07:48 authored by Rummaan Syed Ahmed
This study is in continuation of the previous research conducted at Ryerson University to develop a model for active monitoring of reinforced concrete members using piezo-ceramic sensor. In the previous research large concrete beam were investigated. The following study examines the performance of piezo-ceramic sensor to monitor maturity of concrete and to evaluate crack width of large base width concrete plates. Small scale beams and large scale slabs specimens were tested under three and four points bending respectively to evaluate the effectiveness of piezo-sensors at different failure modes. Test results from small scale beams were used to model correlation between concrete crack width/strains and sensor signals. The test result indicated that piezo-sensor can be used for active concrete strength monitoring at later stages. It can also be used as an effective indicator of crack width for reinforced concrete members with small base width.

The Role Of Sound On The Path With Kirtan Musician Krishna Das
Join Andrew on this interview with Krishna Das, the renowned Kirtan musician, on a heartfelt journey into the world of devotion, and the role of sound on the path. What is Kirtan, and how does one listen to it? Can you bring music onto the path, and what are the near enemies in doing so? The discussion turns to sound as the nature of reality, and the role of mantra to reveal reality. Even scientists talk about the Big Bang, and "string theory." Is the world made of sound and light? ("In the beginning was the word, and the word was made flesh.") How does one "listen to the mind," instead of the classic instruction of looking at the mind? KD talks about creativity, the role of improvisation, and what happens when he performs. The conversation turns to how devotion, guru yoga, bhakti yoga, and openness are central to the journey. This interview is uniquely personal, with Andrew and KD sharing intimate stories of their respective paths. At Andrew's request, KD offers two selected Kirtan chants, with commentary; and Andrew offers his performance of a Rachmaninoff prelude. Join us for this disarming and sound-soaked interview, with one of the most endearing artists on the planet.

Trait: Anthropomorphic Animal
Traits > Body > Features > Humanoid (Non-human) > Anthropomorphic Animal
Anthropomorphic Animal - a bipedal hybrid of an animal in a humanoid form. For a character to be considered anthropomorphic animal, either human and animal traits should be pronounced in about equal measure, or the latter should be dominant.
Do not use the trait to describe characters that look mostly human, but have minor animal characteristics, like animal ears (use Kemonomimi instead) or a tail (use Tail).
Only use the trait to describe the characters, for whom the anthropomorphic form is the primary one. Do not use it for shapeshifters, who can turn into an alternative animalistic form (e.g. a werewolf).

Wellbeing in New Zealand: a reliability and validity study of the New Zealand Sovereign Wellbeing Index
Reid, Amanda Kate
MetadataShow full metadata
Background Measurement tools that evaluate personal, social and occupational life domain wellbeing are increasingly being used to measure how people are feeling and flourishing. The New Zealand Sovereign Wellbeing Index (NZSWI) is a measure specifically developed to evaluate the wellbeing of New Zealanders, and to track how their wellbeing is changing over time. Best practice in psychometric measurement requires sound assessment in order to be useful for those interpreting and utilising the results of wellbeing measures, and the NZSWI's reliability and validity has yet to have been investigated. The aim of this research was to determine the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the NZSWI. Methods The aim of this research was to determine the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the New Zealand Sovereign Wellbeing Index. Seventy-one adults aged 18 years and over completed a survey battery, including the New Zealand Sovereign Wellbeing Index and additional validated wellbeing measures at two time points, one week apart. Test-retest reliability between the two time points was analysed by calculating an intraclass correlation coefficient. Internal consistency was assessed at time point 1 using a Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient. Construct validity, both convergent and discriminant, was evaluated against validated psychometric tools using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results With regard to test-retest reliability, 78 items (89%) displayed substantial reliability (Cronbach's coefficients between 0.61 and 1.0). Ten items (11%) had moderate reliability (coefficients between 0.41 and 0.60). For internal consistency, five of the twenty total topic headings (25%) had coefficient alphas above 0.70, eleven (55%) had coefficient alphas between 0.50 and 0.69, two (10%) had alphas between 0.40 and 0.49, and two (10%) had coefficient alphas under 0.25. With regard to convergent validity, all items measured within the 15 topic tables displayed strong validity with Spearman's coefficients above 0.50. For discriminant validity, one topic (11%) returned a small correlation, six topics (67%) returned medium correlations, and 3 two topics (22%) returned strong correlations, therefore demonstrating variable validity in this aspect. Conclusion On the whole these results suggest that the New Zealand Sovereign Wellbeing Index is a reliable and valid psychometric measurement tool for assessing wellbeing constructs in a New Zealand adult population.

a result. When working with the ROWS clause this must be taken into account.
Aggregates with RANGE
Lastly, adding the RANGE to the OVER clause allows you to create aggregates which go to the beginning or end of the partition. RANGE is commonly used with UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING which goes to the end of the partition and UNBOUNDED PRECEDING which goes to the beginning of the partition. One of the most common use would be to specify the rows from the beginning of the partition to the current row which allows for aggregations such as year to date.
In the example below, we are calculating the average order size over time to the current row. This could be a very effective in a trending report.
,AVG(OrderAmt) OVER (ORDER BY OrderID RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING and CURRENT ROW) as AvgOrderAmt
order by OrderDate;
As you can see, the latest versions of OVER clause supports powerful yet simple aggregations which can help in a multitude of reporting and business solutions. Up next, the last blog in the series – Analytic Functions which are all new in SQL Server 2012.

How to use Rules in Workflows
Problem
You want to know how rules work in workflows and what they are used for.
Resolution
Rules in workflows are used for XOR Splits only.
If you process a workflow with a XOR Split you have to select one of the available routes (transitions) to the parallel Steps (in contrary to a workflow with an AND Split where every parallel Step has to be completed).
With the rule of a route you can define if this route should be displayed in the route selector or not.
The Rule must be a ECMA script located in /etc/workflow/scripts with a function check() where you can implement your logic. The function must return a boolean value.
Available objects are:
Example
A very simple example rule script would be to check if the current page in the workflow is the geometrixx company page or a childpage.
*
 * Example WF Rule.
 * ECMA function with a method called check
 *
 * This function checks if the current page in workflow is in the company tree
 * of geometrixx...
 *
 * Available Objects:
 * - workflowData:
 * - jcrSession:
 * - workflowSession:
 */
function check() {
 log.info("executing script now...");
 if (workflowData.getPayloadType() == "JCR_PATH") {
 var path = workflowData.getPayload().toString();
 var node = jcrSession.getItem(path);

 if (node.getPath().indexOf("/content/geometrixx/en/company") >= 0) {
 return true;
 } else {
 return false;
 }
 } else {
 return false;
 }
}
As attachment you will find a package (ExampleRuleWorkflow-1.0-1.zip) with this script and an example workflow with one step Step 1 above the XOR Split and two parallel steps Left Stepand Right Step.
The route (transition) from Step 1 to Left Step has a Roule with the script above.
If you start the workflow you are on Step 1 and can select the route to Right Step always, independent on the current page in the workflow.
The route to Left Step is only available if the current page in the workflow is the geometrixx company page or a childpage...

The risk associated with the stochastic effects of neutron radiation is known to be strongly energy dependent. Over the past decade, several studies have used Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of neutrons for various types of DNA damage in order to understand its energy dependence at the fundamental level. However, none of these studies implemented DNA repair simulations in their pipeline.
In this project, we investigated the effects of adding repair mechanisms to Monte Carlo-based RBE estimates of DNA damage by neutrons. Our group had previously carried out condensed history (CH) simulations to profile the energy spectrum and relative dose contribution of the secondary particles produced by neutron interactions in tissue. In this project, we use the results of our CH simulations to simulate the irradiation of TOPAS-nBio's DNA model by a flat spectrum of neutrons ranging from 1 eV to 10 MeV, as well as reference X-rays at 250 keV. Induced DNA damage are recorded using the standard DNA damage data (SDD) format abd DNA repair are simulated using the DNA Mechanistic Repair Simulator (DaMaRiS) framework.

Bombing of Alteria

Conflict: Garmillas Civil War
Date: 2199
Place: Alteria
Result: *Garmillas Victory
 - Alteria bombed
Alterian Rebels
Military of the Great Garmillas Empire
Alterian rebles
Hundreds of Imperial Guard ships
Casualties and Losses
 - Most if not all of Alteria's population
 - Planet severely damaged
 - Garmillas Governor
 - Any Garmillans not off planet
The Bombing of Alteria was one of the most destructive acts the Imperial Guard committed during the Garmillas Civil War.
After word of Space Battleship Yamato existance and how a ship from a planet being invaded by the Empire had caused so much trouble for the Imperial Asto Navy, many worlds began revolting against Garmillas and Dessler.
Prior to the Battle of Carell 163. The population of Alteria began a revolt. ("Point of No Return")
The assaultEdit
When the rebellion began many Garmillans were forced to evacuate as the natives began taking their planet back, however many weren't able to escape. The Governor escaped the planet and requested aid. Dessler sent Hydom Gimleh to deal with the rebellion. When the Governor met Gimleh aboard his ship, and after hearing his pleas for aid in defending the remaining Garmillan on the planet he instead ordered the Governor be killed.
The fleet moved in to bombing position as massive missile began raining down on the planet killing the celebrating Alterians. After the bombs explode the Carriers release bombers and fire upon the surface cities while bomber destroyed smaller more remote locations. In a matter of minutes a once blue world was largely burnt. ("Point of No Return")
This event caused a rift in Garmillas leadership between those who thought they were being to brutal and those who didn't. In addition Lord Dessler was apparently killed in an assassination shortly after the planet was bombed. ("Point of No Return")
Many of the surviving Alterians would find themselves in prison camps. These people were presumably released after the new Garmillas government takes power. ("The Planet That We Head For")

Commonly Asked Questions
See also: the Raspberry Shake Forum where you can easily search the archives for questions similar to your own.
Anchoring: How do I anchor my Raspberry Shake to the floor?
Question: The Shake box seems to come with some nice trim screws to set it level. How though is the unit meant to be coupled to the ground/concrete/slab/table…? The last few earthquakes I've experienced here in New Zealand would of sent the Raspberry Shake bouncing off the table or sliding over floor which means it will not actually be recording what it is meant to? How is it proposed to couple it to the horizontal surface?
Answer: Shake does not need to be "anchored".
Raspberry Shake is a weak motion device, like most seismometers are. It is designed to measure sub-micron movements. It probably completely clips between 0.1 and 0.2 g.
If during an earthquake objects are in the air then surely 1 g has been exceeded. Just yesterday I was watching youTube videos of the last New Zealand earthquake and yes things were moving. Shake and any other seismometer would be totally saturated and the data would be useless even if they were anchored.
Seismologists use accelerometers which have a range above 1 g commonly set to 2 g and can be set to 4 g. These devices are anchored. In a Class A seismic installation you would have a seismometer, and accelerometer that goes to DC and a GPS. This would allow for the huge dynamic range that you will get in a large earthquake. The accelerometer to DC and the GPS would allow you to see the displacements that a velocity sensor like the Shake will not show.
How precisely does Raspberry Shake need to be leveled?
Answer: This is a good question and one that is tossed around here at Raspberry Shake. Geophones are made by lots of companies and in lots of natural frequencies and cases and coil types. We think that the geophone used in Raspberry shake will have over 95% of it output out to about three degrees. A quick and dirty test of the undamped output of the Raspberry Shake's 4.5 Hz geophone was performed. We did the test at 10 Hz to get away from the amplification of the resonant frequency. We moved the geophone 1 mm. 1mm at 10Hz is strong shaking. From 0 to 3 degrees of tilt we could not see any significant difference in the output. It was not until 6 degrees that we could see a change and not until 15 degrees that the output was meaningless.
We can definitely say that if the leveling bubble is mostly within the little circle on the level built into the acrylic box, that things are ok. From the test we have done, I think that the leveling bubble we provide will achieve the +/-.5 Degrees as long as the leveling bubble is centered in the circle.
Later, one of our backers, Brett, responded: "I did a quick test to check the leveling bubble sensitivity. It took about one turn of the leg screw located on the center line to move the leveling bubble from centered to be solidly touching the black ring. That's 0.8mm over 123.5mm, the perpendicular distance from that screw to a line between the other two legs. That ratio is 0.00648 and taking the ArcSin = 0.37 deg. of tilt, which is slightly better than you suggest. Probably the biggest factor will be how well the geophone guts are aligned with the leveling bubble. Super leveling is not going to be an issue.
Why does my Raspberry Shake change IP?
IP addresses can either be "DHCP", that is "D"ynamically assigned, or "Static". Most routers today dynamically assign IP addresses. That means that every time a computer like the Raspberry Pi is connected it is given an IP address. It can be the same IP address as previously assigned or a new one. The connection is time limited. Some routers set it to a day or so, some months and still others many years. So, depending on the router settings, the connection will be released and reconnected after a certain time window. On some routers it is possible to change length of the time, on others not. For example at a university where many people come and go, the time window is set to shorter time so that the IP address can be recycled. At home where you have fewer computers, you would obviously prefer a longer time window. The solution around this problem is to set a Static IP address. See here for instructions: Static IP
Why does my Raspberry Shake change its DNS name?
Question: When I start Shake #1, it takes the DNS name rs.local. Then, when I start Shake #2, it takes over the DNS name rs.local and kicks Shake #1 to rs-2.local. What is happening and how can I stop it?
Answer: This is a complex one and can only happen on certain networks (generally, those that use small or medium business hardware). Let's start by leaning about the two protocols that smart switches usually have. Then we can take a look at "what's happening," then finally how you can fix it.
Protocol 1: RSTP
RSTP makes sure there are no loops or ambiguities on the network. The switch will not forward any packet from a port that just came up until its tests are done. Here's a good link that explains RSTP in full.
Protocol 2: Avahi/Bonjour
This protocol is responsible for searching for, assigning, and keeping track of DNS names on many modern networks.
Connection type 1: IPv4
The IPv4 link needs to negotiate with a DHCP server in order to get an address. This takes a short but significant amount of time.
Connection type 2: IPv6
The IPv6 link does not need negotiation of local-link addresses like IPv4 does. It just picks one of many millions of addresses and then can send packets right away.
What's happening
Shake 1 is already booted and it has the hostname rs.local.
When the first link on Shake 2 becomes ready, Avahi immediately sends a broadcast packet that says "hello! does anyone own rs.local?" with any connection available. Since IPv6 is generally the first connection to become available, the Avahi request is sent via this connection. IPv4 is not ready at this point, since it is still negotiating its address with the DHCP server.
At this moment the switch (with RSTP turned on) is not forwarding packets to Shake 2 yet. It "checks" that everything is ok with network and that there are no ambiguities. The result is that nobody sees the "hello" packets sent by Shake 2. So Shake 2 decides there is no rs.local on the network and announces its name (rs.local) to the network. At that moment, the IPv4 link becomes ready (i.e. the switch now forwards packets from Shake 2). Shake 1 sees someone took its name and automatically assigns itself a new name rs-2.local.
How to fix it:
There are a few ways to potentially fix this issue:
 1. By disabling IPv6. You can do this by editing the file /etc/sysctl.conf:
 sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
add the following lines to the end of the file:
Then restart the Shake. The DNS name should now "stick" once assigned.
 1. Manually change the DNS name. You can do this by editing the file /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf:
 sudo nano /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
Modify the following line and replace rs with the DNS name of your choice. It should have no spaces or special characters except minus (-):
Then restart the Shake. Your shake should now be visible at nameyouchose.local. If you lose track of what you've named your Shake, you can Find your Raspberry Shake's IP with Fing.
 1. Disable RSTP on your switch. Since this is device-specific, we can't help you. However, a google search for "Disable RSTP on [your device's make and model]" may help.
Is the schematic for the Raspberry Shake available?
The schematic for Shake is not available. Much of the software is open. Our reason for not making the schematic available is that if we made the hardware open and the firmware that went with it, we would see Raspberry Shake on Alibaba before the Kickstarter campaign was even over.
We align ourselves in many ways with the folks at Pololu when they make this statement about open hardware: See article here. Pololu put a huge amount of work in writing that piece, long but worth the read.
What is the difference between the RS1D, RS3D and RS4D models?
Click to enlarge
sps = samples per second on all channels
The RS1D, RS3D, RS4D and RS&BOOM have the same capabilities for detecting Earth motion in the vertical dimension. The RS3D replicates these abilities in the horizontal dimensions, providing the user with a fuller view of Earth motion in all 3 dimensions. The difference between the RS1D and the RS4D is that the RS4D has a 3 dimensional accelerometer built into the board. This is interesting for people who live in earthquake zones where the strong motion might be enough to saturate the vertical sensor. With the accelerometer, the Earth motion would remain on scale with the added benefit of being able to detect lateral motion as well.
Why can't I mount/ stack multiple Rasberry Shake boards on the same Raspberry Pi computer?
This is because the RPi computer only

Cheltenham Borough Council's environmental health team have started their annual egg oiling programme in order to help control the urban gull population.
Many Cheltenham businesses and residents are affected by urban gulls and although the council has no statutory duty to provide this service they are fortunate to have an annual budget of £5,000 to spend on an egg oiling programme.
This method is the most effective use of the budget and is a tried and tested method of preventing gull eggs from hatching. Eggs are treated over a period of the laying season, but they are left in situ in the nest. Adult birds will continue to sit on the eggs, but due to the treatment, they will not hatch. The egg oiling usually begins in May or June, depending on how the weather affects the mating, nesting and laying. The team visit the properties of people who have complained about problems with gulls throughout the year such as noise, aggression, faeces or damage to property.
This year the egg oiling started on 15 May and will take three weeks.
Sarah Clark, public and environmental health team leader, says: "We do our best to control the urban gull population with the budget that we have. The only long term and sustainable solution is for residents and businesses to unite in their own action by gull proofing their own properties, reducing the amount of food litter and raising awareness. With that in mind, we have started an urban gull focus group and are keen to hear from anybody who would like to join us."
Councillor Peter Jeffries, cabinet member for housing, safety and communities, added: "The main advantage of egg oiling is a reduction in the number of hatchlings. Nesting gull parents become aggressive and have often been known to attack nearby members of the public. With egg oiling the problem of aggressive parent gulls is abolished, due to the eggs not hatching, and no young being raised. However, there is nothing we can do about live birds; we can only intervene with the eggs. Controlling gulls is extremely challenging and relies on us all doing our bit to help control the urban gull population."
Further information about urban gull control and the urban gull focus group can be found on our website (pages should be published this week). If you would like to join the urban gull focus group, please email the environmental health team on: [email protected] or call 01242 775178.
For press enquiries contact: Laura Carter, communications officer, telephone 01242 264154 or email [email protected]
Part of the £5,000 budget is spent on hiring truck mounted elevated platforms that can reach heights of 52m and are capable of navigating narrow streets and complex roof architecture.
All owners/occupiers of buildings which have or may attract roof nesting gulls are urged to install gull deterrent measures suitable to their individual building.

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for multilevel full-chip routing considering both routability and performance called MR. The two-stage multilevel framework consists of coarsening, followed by uncoarsening. Unlike the previous multilevel routing, MR integrates global routing, detailed routing, and resource estimation, together at each level of the framework, leading to more accurate routing resource estimation during coarsening and thus facilitating the solution refinement during uncoarsening. Further, the exact routing information obtained at each level makes MR more flexible in dealing with various routing objectives (such as crosstalk, power, etc.). Experimental results show that MR obtains significantly better routing solutions than previous works. For example, for a set of 11 commonly used benchmark circuits, MR achieves 100% routing completion for all circuits, while the previous multilevel routing, the three-level routing, and the hierarchical routing can complete routing for only 2, 0, 2 circuits, respectively. In particular, the number of routing layers used by MR is even smaller. We also have performed experiments on timing-driven routing. The results are also very promising.

Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Below is the detailed biography of Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire in the Regency Era. She was a known style icon, political organizer and author. She was born into the Spencer family of English nobility. She was the most talked about Duchess of England with regards to her many love affairs and gambling habits.
Early Life of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Georgiana Spencer, as was her birth name was born on the 7th of June in the year 1757 to John Spencer, a British peer, and politician and his wife Georgiana who later came to be known as Countess Georgiana. She was born in Althorp, Northamptonshire. Georgiana had two younger sisters. The family lived in St James, London.
Georgiana was the closest and dearest to her mother as compared to the other two children. In 1765, her father became Earl Spencer.
Adult Life and Marriage of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of William Cavendish – 5th Duke of Devonshire
Georgiana was only 17 years old when she married the most eligible bachelor of the Regency Era – William Cavendish who was 25 years old. He was a British nobleman, a politician, an aristocrat. He was also one of the most powerful men in England along with being wealthy which made them a good match.
However, these two had very little in common and were hardly ever seen together on social occasions. He was known to have various affairs outside the marriage and was unable to have Georgiana produce a child. The Duke had a former illegitimate daughter before his marriage. He also had a former partner Lady Elizabeth Foster who later became a close friend of Georgiana Cavendish.

Even after the Duke and Lady Foster had separated, they were known to have shared certain sexual relations. Later, they had two illegitimate children.
Duchess Cavendish was absolutely unhappy with this marriage. According to the customs in Regency England, a woman could not take a lover until she had produced an heir. She had two daughters – Georgiana Dorothy and Harriet Elizabeth. In 1790, she gave birth to a baby boy – William George Spencer Cavendish who grew up to be a bachelor duke all his life.
Georgiana Cavendish and Charles Grey
A portrait of Charles Grey, also known as the 2nd Earl Grey
It is believed that Duchess Cavendish, after the birth of her son was involved in a love affair with Charles Grey. Charles Grey, who was later known as the 2nd Earl Grey. He was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834. He was a noble and famous man in London. While there is no concrete evidence that Earl Grey and Duchess Cavendish were involved in a 'love affair', she became pregnant by him in 1791.
She was sent off to France for her childbirth. Her health was extremely poor and everyone believed that she would die during childbirth. However, the child was well born and was called Eliza Courtney and she belonged to the Grey family.
While in France, she lived in complete isolation and was usually depressed as she was separated from her other children and family members. In the end, she denied her love for Charles Grey and went back to England to her husband and children.
Georgiana Cavendish as an Activist
Georgiana's family was a supporter of the Whig party. She lived during times when there was a realization of woman suffrage and empowerment. She was an influential woman and the first woman to come out as a political activist in her time.
She inspired women to promote the Whig party.
Georgiana Cavendish in Literature
She was a writer and poet during her time. Some of her works were published anonymously. Her very first published writing was 'Emma; Or, The Unfortunate Attachment: A Sentimental Novel' which came out in 1773. In 1778, she published 'The Sylph' anonymously. In the last years of her life, she published 'The Passage of the Mountain of Saint Gothard'.
Georgiana Cavendish in Gambling
After returning to England from France, she was much involved in taking care of her husband who suffered from gout. In 1796, she suffered from illness in her eyes, the operation of which resulted in her scarring face. Rapidly, her health began to decline and debt began to increase.
During her decline in health, she became addicted to gambling. She was in her forties back then. It is also said that once she begged her mother for 100 pounds and told her that she was suffering from jaundice.
Later, it was found out that she was genuinely sick and suffering from a liver disorder.
Later Life and Death of Georgiana Cavendish
She spent her last years in sickness. She died at a young age of 48 on March 30th, 1806. She was surrounded by her children, her mother, and her husband. She was buried at the family vault in All Saints Parish Church.
Her life was an example of the life of a noblewoman of England, a roller coaster of emotions and outburst and a result of various decisions.
There were many film portrayals on her life like the 'The Divine Lady' in 1929 and 'Berkeley Square' in 1933.

How To Photograph Cigarette Smoke (Step By Step)
Although we really shouldn't condone smoking due to its health implications, as artists, we have to admit that there is something really beautiful about the smoke itself. From the patterns it creates to how smoke dances in the light, there is a lot of opportunity for stunning images at the butt of a cigarette. Here is our step-by-step guide on how to take advantage of this phenomena!
Step 1: Choose the Right Lens
Everything comes down to how the final image looks! Although the camera plays a much more minor role in this specific type of photography, the lens plays a tremendous one. The optics you are using will affect perspective, field of view, and the depth of field.
First thing's first, determine how close or far away from the smoke you will be. For the most part, photographers choose standard lenses or telephoto lenses for this type of work, rather than wide angle lenses.
Wide angle lenses have a wide field of view, not really useful for something like cigarette smoke which can be fairly small!
Standard lenses range from 35mm all the way to 70mm and are amongst the easiest lenses to use because they feature no distortion (the glass is flat). Standard lenses are the closest to the human eye and what you see, which makes these millimeters popular choices for easier photography compositions. These lenses are also commonly seen with wide apertures, which is great for smoke photography because you can just focus on the smoke and blur the rest of the background away.
You may not initially consider telephoto lenses for smoke photography, but they can actually work out really great! Telephoto lenses are long lenses that can remind you a bit of a telescope. These lenses can zoom you very close to your subject! They range in millimeters from 70mm all the way to 300mm. Although commonly used by sport and animal photographers, there is something magical that happens when you use a telephoto lens for non-sporting subjects: the zoom range actually creates an optical compression when used, which creates more flattering proportions and perspective on whatever subject you capture! Plus the bonus of not needing to be near the smoke.
So needless to say, step one is determining the lens you want to use.
Step 2: Find a Good Light Source
Next, you need to find a good light source. Even when looking at smoke with the naked eye, you may have noticed that it tends to disappear in direct light and really shows its shape prominently in backlighting. As such, you need to apply these principles to your smoke photography.
Look for a light source that positions behind your subject rather than in front. As well, it's a good idea to have the light source be behind but from below so it doesn't overtake the smoke and cause it to be lost as well!
You can do this with natural, ambient light that is available at your shooting location or with an artificial light. Video lights that are continuous and don't flash work very nicely.
Step 3: Adjust Camera Settings
Now, the trickier part… camera settings. Camera settings are very dependent upon your location, the type of lighting, and the type of look you're wanting to capture. Set the camera to M (Manual) mode and focus on the exposure equation:
The ISO controls how the sensor responds to the light that hits it, whether it's sensitive to the light (because there is less of it) or not very sensitive to the light (because there is more of it).
The shutter speed is how fast your camera takes the photograph.
The aperture controls how much light does (or doesn't) hit your sensor.
For cigarette smoke photography, you'll likely want to freeze the smoke so you can capture it dancing in the air, so the priority will be your shutter speed first. The higher the shutter speed number, the more frozen the action will be (but the photograph will be darker). The lower the shutter speed number, the more motion blur your photograph will have (but the photograph will be lighter). For smoke, a minimum shutter speed of 1/300 can suffice.
Next, you'll probably want to make sure that the smoke is nicely isolated from the background and foreground. The lower the aperture number, the more light the camera lets in. The higher the aperture number, the less light the camera lets in. The lower the aperture number, the shallower the depth of field. The larger the aperture number, the deeper the depth of field. An F/2.8 is pretty excellent. Now, to go back to lens choice, the widest aperture is determined by the lensnot the camera. If you have an F/4 lens, for example, it cannot widen to F/2.8.
Then, you'll need to find an ISO that balances out the shutter speed and aperture setting. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive the camera is to light (but the less noise the photograph has). The higher the ISO number, the more sensitive the camera is to light (but the more noise the photograph has). Noise are the obnoxious little specks you see in photographs.
As well as this, cameras can sometimes have a hard time focusing on cigarette smoke because it can be so pale and fleeting. To help with focus, set your camera to the proper autofocus mode. By default, your camera is set to One-Shot right out of the box. One-Shot achieves automatic focus on your subject for only one image, not applicable for moving smoke. As such, switch the camera over to Continuous Focus. For this, the camera's focus keeps refocusing on the subject as it moves.
Then, utilize your Autofocus Points. These points tell you (and the camera) where to focus. Each point refers to an area the camera is able to focus on. By switching to a mode such as AF Selection, you can tell the camera exactly what points you need it to use to focus on your subject!
Step 4: Compose the Shot
Composition is everything! Composition is the arrangement of everything in a shotfrom the subject, to the background, and even the foreground.
For smoke, because it is something that moves, the primary compositional rule you'll want to focus on is the sense of implied movement. Implied sense of movement means the direction that you think the movement will go in a still image. How this factors into composition is that you always want to leave more negative space in the direction of implied movement. This keeps your photograph from feeling claustrophobic or too abruptly cropped.
So if the smoke is blowing to the left, you want more negative space to the left of the frame, to give the smoke some room to go!
Step 5: Direct Your Subject and Click!
You don't want to run out of smoke before you're ready to take the shot! Direct your subject to light the cigarette and start puffing after you've done the aforementioned four steps. Then aim your camera, get the focus, and take the shot!
In closing, these five simple steps should aid you in capturing some dramatic and fun smoke shots.

An optimal design method is presented for dewatering a excavation site. It predicts the optimum number of deep wells, their locations, and the rate of pumping needed to maintain ground water levels below specified elevations at steady and unsteady state. In our proposed method a linear programming method is used to determine the pumping rate at steady state and AIC is used to suggest the optimum deep well locations. This is accomplished by including the finite element analysis of two-dimensional steady seepage flow. Nonlinear least-squares algorithm incorporating finite element analysis of unsteady seepage flow is used to compute the pumping rate required to reach ground water levels below appointed elevation in a prescribed time. The method is applied to several examples of dewatering for a large excavation site in unconfined aquifer models.

How to List Permissions of an Android Application Using ADB
How to List Permissions of an Android Application Using ADB
22 April 2024 Stephan Petzl Leave a comment Tech-Help
When managing Android applications, it's crucial to understand the permissions they require. This knowledge is especially important for developers and testers who need to ensure that their apps are not requesting more permissions than necessary. Thankfully, Android's ADB (Android Debug Bridge) provides a way to list these permissions directly from the command line.
Step-by-Step Guide to Listing Granted Permissions
To view the permissions granted to an application, you can use the following ADB command:
adb shell dumpsys package packagename
After running this command, you should look for the grantedPermissions section in the output, which will list all the permissions that have been granted to the package.
Listing All Requested Permissions
If you're interested in seeing all permissions that an application has requested, including those that haven't been granted, you can follow these steps:
 1. Identify the APK path using the command:
 adb shell dumpsys package packagename
 Look for the codePath element in the output.
 2. Pull the APK file from the device to your computer:
 adb pull /data/app/com.your.package.apk
 3. List all permissions of the APK file using the aapt tool, which can be found under the build-tools/<version>/ directory in your Android SDK:
 aapt d permissions /path/to/com.your.package.apk
Note that if aapt is not available on your system, you may need to install the appropriate Android SDK build-tools or look for alternative methods to obtain the APK's permission details.
Quick Permission Check
For a fast and straightforward check of an application's permissions, you can use this simplified command:
adb shell dumpsys package packagename | grep permission
This command filters the output to show only lines that contain the word "permission".
When testing applications, verifying that they request and utilize the correct permissions is essential. Repeato, a No-code test automation tool, can help streamline this process. With its ability to create, run, and maintain automated tests for iOS and Android apps, Repeato is an invaluable asset for ensuring your app's permissions are properly managed.
Repeato's advanced features, including computer vision and AI capabilities, make it suitable for apps built with various frameworks, such as React Native, Flutter, and Unity. Moreover, its on-board ADB functionality allows you to execute ADB commands via script steps, giving you the power to automate permission-related checks efficiently.
Discover more about Repeato and how it can enhance your testing workflows by visiting our product page.
Conclusion
Understanding and managing app permissions is a critical aspect of Android development and testing. With the help of ADB and tools like Repeato, you can ensure that your applications maintain the right balance between functionality and privacy.

1. Intro: Hi, I'm Tiffany. I'm a small business owner, creative entrepreneur, and seven figure Etsy seller. In this class, I'll help you to bypass the number one mistake I see most new shop owners make. Not just open your shop, but instead launch your Etsy shop in each of your Etsy listings to their fullest potential. Etsy as a marketplace provides an incredible opportunity to launch a business. When I started my business, I was a new mom working my day job full-time and working on my Etsy shop in the market creating digital nursery artwork. I had no idea the power of this platform, but it has completely changed my life. There are so many items you can sell on Etsy, everything from handmade ceramics, jewelry, personalized items, vintage items, praecipes, even digital downloads, and so much more. I know that right now is non-pristine time so many people who need to pivot into a new career or extended online arm for their business. Or maybe they have this amazing skill, but they just didn't know how to leverage it into a business and have no idea where to start. Whether you're a maker, an artist, designer, or illustrator, there's plenty of room for you on Etsy. Etsy can be the perfect launching ground for a new business. As a seasoned seller, I'm going to teach you exactly where I would focus today in opening a shop or publishing a new listing. I'll break down what matters most when it comes to getting sales on Etsy, and that is engagement. What is it and how do we get it? I'll share my six rules of Etsy engagement and teach you how to engage with the human shoppers who are trying to find you and me, Etsy machine that will bring them right to your virtual front door. Then come look over my shoulders as I actually opened a shop and follow along with my punch list of items to get it done in your pre-launch workbook. It's your dream to work for yourself, make your own hours and spend more time with your family. While creating what you love, Etsy offers you an enormous opportunity to launch the career of your dreams as a creative entrepreneur. If not now, then when? I believe in you and I'm here to show you how to put your best foot forward into the extraordinary empty marketplace. Come along with me, let me take you by the hand and let's launch an Etsy shop. 2. Welcome: Welcome to the class. My name is Tiffany Emery, and I'm a full-time Etsy seller, and have been selling on Etsy for the last six years through my shop, Adorn Studio. I am so thrilled that you're here. You've made a really important decision, getting educated about Etsy, and that's going to pay off for you in the long run. But before we get started, I did want to be sure to draw your attention to the projects and resources tab where you'll find your pre-launch workbook. This workbook is going to be your class project, that you'll be working through as you prepare to launch your Etsy shop. Now, we do have some work ahead of us, but don't let that sway you from digging in and getting started. I want to share with you the number one mistake that most new shop owners make, to encourage you as you prepare for your launch. What most of new shop owners do, is they basically have no idea how to launch a shop. The path that they usually take, is to gradually open their shop. They figure out their shop name and, then they open their shop. They wait a little while, and then decide to start working on a listing. Then they come up against listing items that they aren't familiar with, or maybe they just don't understand the importance of them. They half fill out a listing. Maybe they have some good photos, or maybe not, but they figured they can upload what they have, and then come back and keep working on their photos later. They usually have no idea what SEO is, which we'll cover in this course. That's completely left out, and then they publish their listing. Then after some time passes, they realize that their shop isn't doing so well. They'll do some research and figure out that they needed to work on their photography. To do that for a little bit, or they needed to optimize [inaudible] for the Etsy search engine so they work on that for a little bit, and little by little, by little, they gradually open the full door to their Etsy shop. Friends, this is a huge mistake. There are a number of reasons why you shouldn't gradually open your shop, and instead launch your shop strong and fully optimized. I'm going to explain them to you throughout this course. But just note that your pre-launch workbook will take you some time, and that's okay. In fact, it's a good thing. It's going to give you an edge over what most sellers do incorrectly. Just remember, it's not a race, it's a strategic launch. You need to prepare to fully throw the doors of your shop open, and launch for the highest probability of success on Etsy. Your pre-launch book is designed to walk you step-by-step through how to prepare for your launch. You'll be ready to launch your shop, and your first listing when you've completed all six sections of the workbook for at least one listing. You'll work through your workbook for each listing that you launch. The workbook includes the following sections: Section 1, Market Research; Section 2, Branding Basics; Section 3, Photography; Section 4, Descriptions; Section 5, Pricing and Shipping Structures; and Section 6, SEO Basics. Once you've completed all the items in your workbook, you're ready to launch your shop. In the last two lessons of this class, I'll walk you through exactly how to do that. So take your time and get it right for the highest payoff possible for all of your hard work. Now let's get started. 3. The Extraordinary Etsy Marketplace: In this lesson, I want to talk about what sets Etsy apart as a marketplace, because it's truly an extraordinary place to sell. Etsy touts itself as a global marketplace and community of sellers empowered to make a living doing what they love, while allowing buyers to find the unique items that

Objective: To examine the feasibility of adapting active video games (AVGs) for nonambulatory wheelchair users at functionally diverse levels and to examine these AVGs as a method for increasing energy expenditure (EE) for 3 young adults with severe (SEV), moderate (MOD), and no upper extremity limitation (NL). Design: Case study. Setting: Residential special education school for youth and young adults with physical disabilities. Participants: Two young adults with spastic cerebral palsy (SEV, MOD) and one young adult with spina bifida (NL). All participants were nonambulatory wheelchair users. Methods: Each participant performed Wii bowling and tennis and an adapted upper extremity version of a Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) game pad. Main Outcome Measurements: EE was measured through indirect calorimetry (VO2). Heart rate data were collected with the use of a Polar Heart Rate Monitor. Results: SEV and MOD participants showed a higher percentage increase in EE for the Wii games (SEV, 25.6%; MOD, 30.8%) compared with DDR (SEV, 10.8%; MOD, 29.1%), whereas the participant with NL had a greater EE increase for the DDR (173.5%) compared with Wii (59.5%). Conclusions: AVGs showed clinically significant increases in EE for all 3 participants and can be performed by nonambulatory wheelchair users ranging from those with NL to those with SEV upper extremity limitation with the appropriate adaptations.

We have developed tunnel probes for localized measurements of the electron and ion temperature in the edge plasma region of smaller tokamaks and stellarators. A normal tunnel probe for Temeasurements consists of a metallic tunnel of 5 mm diameter and 5 mm length, with the axis parallel to the magnetic field. One side is open, the other side is closed by a metallic backplate, isolated from the tunnel. If both electrodes are biased negatively, ions flow into the office, and their current is distributed between the tunnel and the backplate. The ratio of the two ion currents is a function of Te. With an additional diaphragm in front of the orifice, the probe becomes ion sensitive, since the electrons are prevented from the tunnel because of their smaller gyroradius, but ions can still reach it. In this way, the perpendicular ion temperature can be derived. By segmenting the tunnel axially into two parts, also an approximate measure for the parallel ion temperature can be found. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Le Seur, Minnesota
For many years, farmers and local residents near Le Seur, Minnesota have reported seeing a red light, that looks like a lantern, bobbing along the Omaha Railroad tracks south of the town. These sightings date back many years and have been connected to an unsubstantiated report of an old hermit who lived in a nearby cave. Does his ghost still haunt the area?
The area south of town was known as Old Brewery Hill for the brewery that was started there around 1875 by George Kienzli. He constructed a small building on the hill and beneath it dug two deep cellars into the earth. Large wooden casks were brought in to store the beer while it aged and to hold ice that would keep the earthen chambers cool in the summer. The beer that was brewed there was hauled to nearby towns and it was fairly successful for a number of years. Eventually, it was sold twice more and closed down. The buildings later burned down but it is said that visitors along the east side of Ottawa road can still see the remains of the cellars if they can find the right side of the hill.
While the brewery is long since gone, the story of a ghost in the vicinity remains. It was believed that a man lived in one of the brewery caves and people claimed to see him leave the cave, walking along and carrying a red lantern. It was said that if you tried to approach him, he and the lantern would disappear. Curiosity-seekers who explored the cave found some old clothes, a straw mattress, a shoe box.... and human bones.
Apparently, the hermit who lived in the cave had died long ago, but someone was seen leaving the place at night and walking along the railroad tracks! A brakeman aboard a passing train reported that one night, the train was forced to stop because of someone carrying a lantern along the tracks. When the brakeman got down from the train to removed the man from the path of the train, there was no one there. The engineer and several workers on the train all swore that they had seen a red lantern.
As time has passed the ghost of the old hermit still haunts the stretch of tracks near Old Brewery Hill, still waving his red lantern as he walks along and still vanishing if anyone gets too near. Why he haunts this place remains a mystery....
The small town of Le Seur, Minnesota is located in the south central part of the state, about fifty miles southwest of Minneapolis/ St. Paul. Old Brewery Hill is located south of town along the road to Ottawa. The hill is located on the east side of the highway.

Octamed on the Amiga has a feature that assists one to create perfect slides/glides from note to note using effect commands(1xx,2xx or 3xx/5xx in Renoise).
One could simply select a few notes and let the program calculate the correct speed for noteslide command or 1xx / 2xx.
For example lets say i wanted to create a pitch slide from C-3 to C4 between rows 0-16.
In Octamed i could simply enter C-3 on row 0 and C-4 on row 16 select rows 0-16 and then chosse pitch slide(either using 1xx/2xx or 3xx), when using 1xx the program entered aproriate 1xx on all rows untill row 16 & targetnote was reached.
Or in the case of using 3xx the program would move the target note to the next row(row 1 of sourcenote was set on row 0) and calculate the slide speed and enter 3xx untill line 16 was reached.
I have looked around in the advanced edit and it's interpolation features but none seem to work well with pitch related commands, they work fine for volume and panning, maybe i'm blind?


text: This paper presents further investigations into the axisymmetric progressive crushing behaviour of metal tubes subject to quasi-static axial loads. Based on experiments and a finite element analysis, a new, more realistic theoretical model is developed by introducing the concept of effective plastic hinge length which is proportional to tube thickness. The theoretical crushing force history, mean crushing force and plastic half-wavelength are compared with experiments and finite element analysis results. It is found that for normalized mean crushing force, P m / M o, better agreement is obtained using the present theoretical model than previous ones. This analysis helps explain the paradox between the D/t exponent calculated from experimental results and previous theoretical predictions. Also, a good estimate of plastic half-wavelength, h, is also obtained.

FAQs for Sheets
How-to: Configure parameters that automatically update
Yes, you can do this by linking together your time parameters. You can link any time element, except for timespan, to a single period parameter.
Example: You have a report with three segments with separate time parameters that you want to set up so that update automatically changing one parameter will automatically update the other parameters.
To link parameters:
 1. Drag and drop the first time element to the parameter bar
 2. Then, drag and drop the other two time elements on top of the first parameter
 3. After adding the parameters, right-click on the Period parameter to verify that the elements are connected
 In Parameter Settings, several dynamic time options are available when you scroll to the top of the Initial Choice setting such as current month and last actuals month.
How-to: Calculate percent of sales for an account
You can use the Display as Percent report element to display results for multiple accounts.
Example: You have a revenue account called Book Sales want to know what Book COGS is as a percentage of Book Sales.
To calculate percent of sales:
 1. Click Display As and add the % of Account element to your report
 2. Right-click on the newly added % of Account element and select the Book Sales account as the denominator for the calculation
 3. Add any account that you want to see as % of Book Sales
How-to: Create a subtotal for different time periods from different versions
You can use the Custom Display As element to create a subtotal.
Example: You want to create a subtotal using the first six months a budget version and the last six months of a forecast version. Assuming that your report already has 2 segments set up (#1 first 6 months for the budget version and #2 last 6 months for the forecast version), we can set up a third segment that will contain our calculations for the subtotal.
To create a Custom subtotal:
 1. Add a new segment
 2. From the Calculations menu, add a Difference element to the new segment
 3. In the Difference Options, include the two versions that you want to use for the subtotal and make sure to offset the Subtract Version 6 months Backwards
 4. From the Calculations menu, add a Custom Calculation element below the difference element in the segment that sums the last 6 months
 - Because the difference element is offset, it will sum the first 6 months with the last 6 months
 5. From the Display As menu, add a Custom element to the bottom of the segment and include the formula below where "offset version" is the version offset in the Difference element
 - if(this.version.name = "offset version", -ACCT.this, ACCT.this)
In the steps above, we are using a workaround to make the difference element a sum instead. The reason we use the difference is because it allows us to operate with 2 different versions in a single calculation, where as it is impossible, currently, to formulaically refer to values in another version from you current version.
How-to: Create a variance between two different versions and time periods
You can create a report that shows the variance between Budget 2020 version for FY2020 and Budget 2021 version for FY2021 by offsetting the time for one of the versions forward or backward.
To create the report:
 1. Place both the Budget 1 and Budget 2 versions in one segment
 2. Add a 2020 Time element to the segment or Filter
 3. Right-click on the Budget 2 version and select Properties
 4. Shift the version forward by 12 months.
 - By shifting the time forward, the Budget 2 version will display data for 2021 when the Budget 2 version is displaying data for 2020
 5. Add a Difference element next to the versions.
 6. Right-click on the Difference element, select Properties and verify that the Difference element is creating the proper variance and that the Budget 2 version is shifted forward by 12 months.
The resulting report should give you 3 columns: one for Budget 2020, one for Budget 2021, and one for the variance between the two versions.
How-to: Remove total rows for accounts
Totals can't be removed for a parent account in Report Properties. When the option to "Show totals at bottom" is checked in Report Properties, the total for the parent account will be shown as a row at the bottom of the rollup. When you uncheck "Show totals at bottom," the totals will appear in the same row as the parent account at the top of the rollup. As a workaround to remove totals, you can remove totals by dragging each account to the report builder separately.
To remove totals:
 1. From Design Elements, add a custom header to the report, right-click to select Properties, and update the label to represent the parent account
 2. Drag and drop the accounts that rollup to the parent account that we didn't add to the report to prevent displaying its total
How-to: Reverse the sign for non-GL accounts in Reports
Because the reverse sign feature in reports only applies to GL accounts, you can use a custom calculation to reverse the sign for non-GL accounts in a matrix report.
Example 1:
 - Formula -1*ACCT.Example
 - Translation: Multiplies the account by -1 to reverse the sign for the account
Example 2:
 - Formula: if([Budget]<[Actuals], div(([Budget]-[Actuals])/[Actuals])*-1, div(([Budget]-[Actuals])/[Actuals]))
 - Translation: If the Budget value is less than Actuals, then take the variance and multiple by negative one, otherwise just take the variance

Magnets in augmented reality glasses and wearable display technology
Published: 2023-05-23 14:49:32 • Daniel Gårdefelt
The magnetic materials are an important part of the new field of augmented reality (AR) glasses and wearable display technologies. This blog talks about how magnets are used to make these high-tech devices.
Magnets are an important component in the manufacturing of parts for augmented reality glasses and wearable displays. Magnets are essential to the functionality and performance of these new devices as they enhance sound and help track motion.
To improve the experience, there are small speakers in the AR glasses, in these speakers there are magnets. Neodymium magnets are what give these speakers their high quality sound while allowing them to be so small. This makes the AR experience more immersive without adding much weight or size to the product.
Magnets also help AR glasses and other wearable displays track movement. With high accuracy, magnetic sensors can track the position and orientation of these devices, providing real-time AR feedback.
In the exciting world of AR glasses and other wearable display technologies, magnets are very important. They improve the audio and tracking features, which will make the AR experience more immersive. As we look toward a future of advanced augmented reality (AR) and wearables, magnets will continue to be important.

What's the difference between a transaction coordinator and a transaction manager ?
I don't know if this a valid question , but i keep reading these two terms.
If they are different things, What are the products in IBM's Websphere stack that can do these two different jobs?
share|improve this question
A Trasaction Coordinator like MSDTC is a server for managing distributed transactions. It holds persistent records of the transactions and manages the communications for the two-phase commit/rollback process with the resource managers. It may or may not be integrated into a transaction manager.
In TP-speak, a 'Transaction Manager' is something that issues commit/rollback requests to 'Resource Managers'. A 'Resource Manager' is something like a database management system that makes a state change transactionally. Two phase commit is a protocol where a transaction manager verifies that all of the resource managers can guarantee to commit a transaction (i.e. have log entries written to persistent storage and no error conditions that would prevent the commit) and then advises the commit. It will then verify that the transaction has been committed by all of the resource managers before marking the transaction as 'committed'.
A Transaction Coordinator is the part of the system that handles this commit process. It may or may not be the same program as the Transaction Monitor. An example of a Transaction Coordinator is MS DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator). It is slightly interesting as in this arhitecture (MTS/COM+) it is actually run as a separate process.
A Transaction Manager or TP Monitor is the subsystem that the application uses to control the transaction commit/rollback process. It hosts the middle tier of an application, and provides APIs for getting transaction IDs and voting to commit/rollback the transaction. Where only one process is involved in the vote this is equivalent to advising the commit/rollback. In Java circles this is often known as an 'application server' (or sometimes a 'Bean Container' when using EJB). Examples of Transaction managers are MS Transaction Services (later known as COM+ Transaction Services), CICS and various Java application servers.
Where you have a connection pool and a transaction that spans more than one call to the database, transaction scope must be divorced from session and connection state. Subsequent calls to the DBMS may not be through the same connection. Thus, we need a separate transaction ID that can be used to tag requests to the database. Locks are then owned by the transaction ID.
Because of the dissociation from the database connection, commit and rollback must be controlled out of band from the middle-tier through another protocol. This is the role of the XA protocol (from the XOpen standard) or OLE transactions protocol.
The commit/rollback requests to the resource manager do not have to come from the same server as the one hosting the application. A Transaction Manager can use a separate transaction coordinator to manage the commit/rollback process. These can communicate using a protocol such as TX.. In other cases the Transaction Manager can issue the commit/rollback instructions to the resource manager (database) directly, using a protocol such as XA. Thus, the transaction coordination and management functions are separate to some extent and may or may not be done by the same piece of software. In the case of MSDTC they are separate, but this is not strictly required.
One advantage of moving the Transaction Coordinator out into a separate process is that it is not so exposed to being crashed by bad application code. In this case, the process only handles the transaction commit hosts no application ocde. Other items communicate with it. This allows the transaction coordinator to be very simple, focussed and resistant to application crashes. Where it is integrated into the application server, an application server crash may take down transactons involving third-party resource managers that are nothing to do with the application. The down side of moving Transaction Coordination into a separate process is increased latency in the transaction commit due to networked requests.
Edit: I'm not sure about Websphere but IIRC the transaction coordinator on Weblogic is called 'Weblogic Transaction Manager' and the transaction management is done through the bean container.
