Lattice Engines announced commencement of a private beta for its Atlas Customer Data Platform (CDP). Lattice Atlas matches internal and Lattice Engines data sources, provides a single view of the customer, and supports a centralized audience platform for cross-channel creation and measurement. The formal launch is planned for the end of the year.
According to Lattice Engines, "Marketing organizations struggle to scale their Account-Based Marketing (ABM) programs because each application they deploy has its own data, segmentation, activation and measurement modules. This has led to a fractured buyer journey because banner ads, social ads, emails and sales calls communicate different messages, which creates confusion. Lattice Atlas solves this problem directly by integrating all the application data into a single place and providing the ability to manage this data, segment on it, and activate it through open APIs."
"A CDP connects existing systems to create a unified customer view that makes ABM possible. In a world that never stops changing, the power and flexibility of a CDP will help marketers deliver on the promise of ABM. The features you need in a Customer Data Platform (CDP) will depend on your business, existing systems, and intended use. There are a few key considerations when evaluating CDP solutions for executing ABM programs, including a unification of all data sources, segment creation, campaign execution and predictions."
- David Raab, founder of the CDP Institute
Lattice contends that ABM at scale requires a CDP supporting four key attributes:
- Unified Customer Data: After aggregating and consolidating customer data, a CDP must link identity, behavior, purchase history, and firmographics.
- AI-driven Audiences: The CDP must not only score accounts and contacts, but identify buying committees, assess buying stage, and recommend the next-best offer.
- Omnichannel Activation and Personalization: The CDP suggests highly personalized campaigns across relevant channels. The messaging must remain consistent across all of the channels.
- Enterprise Grade Governance: The CDP maintains data security and privacy while complying with relevant laws such as GDPR.
Lattice Atlas aggregates client data across platforms and appends it with data from the Lattice Data Cloud. First-party content is gathered from CRM, marketing automation, web visitor logs, transaction histories, product usage details, etc. The Lattice Data Cloud enriches the customer view with firmographics, intent data, and technographics. Lattice also maintains an ABM Identity Graph which organizes customer data by account, buying center, and contact.
"Lattice Atlas was a natural evolution of our platform," blogged VP of Products Chitrang Shah. "Since day 1, our approach has focused on being deeply integrated with each execution application and managing all data under one platform. Because of this we not only capture the largest amount of data, but also all that relevant metadata that describes it. Lattice Atlas is built on our understanding of these applications and their data to create the first CDP for enabling ABM at scale."
Audience creation tools predict conversion likelihood, purchase window, and likely spend. Atlas also supports next-best targets and next-best actions.
Lattice Atlas connectors support Marketo, Eloqua, Salesforce, and a set of REST APIs.
Other features include GDPR opt out for campaigns and all marketing communications, engagement thresholds to prevent marketing fatigue, and lead-to-account mapping.
The initial Atlas application will be Playmaker which offers prescriptive recommendations to sales teams. "Playmaker lets them quickly identify top products to sell across all audiences and programmatically deliver those recommendations to the sales teams," said Shah. "It also has built-in interactive dashboard to track the engagements (or lack of it) and its impact on the pipeline, enabling out-of-the-box visibility into play ROI measurements and the ways to improve it."
"The holy grail of B2B marketing is creating 1-to-1 experiences across the entire buyer's journey. This is why the B2B world is so interested in ABM these days. In order to craft personalized experiences at scale, our customers need a data foundation to better understand their target audiences, and an execution platform to engage those audiences in meaningful ways. With Lattice Atlas, we now enable companies to engage their buyers with 1-to-1 omnichannel experiences, making B2B marketing as personalized as B2C marketing," said Lattice Engines CEO Shashi Upadhyay.
Lattice has over 200 customers including PayPal, Adobe, Dell, and SunTrust Bank.

About Leesville Lake Levels Page
For clarification, SML tailwater elevation is the elevation of water at the base of SML dam; Leesville Lake Forebay level is the elevation of water at the lake surface above the Leesville Dam, whereas Leesville tail water is the level of the Staunton River at the base of Leesville dam. When the LVL forebay is higher than the SML tail water, water is being pumped to SML and the flow of water is in that direction. The opposite occurs when the LVL forebay is lower than the SML tail water.

text: The bulk viscosity of interacting strange quark matter in a strong external magnetic field B_m with a real equation of state is investigated. It is found that interquark interactions can significantly increase the bulk viscosity,and the magnetic field B_m can cause irregular oscillations in both components of the bulk viscosity, ■(parallel to B_m) and ■(perpendicular to B_m). A comparison with non-interacting strange quark matter reveals that when B_m is sufficiently large, ■is more affected by interactions than ■. Additionally, the quasi-oscillation of the bulk viscosity with changes in density may facilitate the formation of magnetic domains. Moreover, the resulting rmode instability windows are in good agreement with observational data for compact stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. Specifically, the r-mode instability window for interacting strange quark matter in high magnetic fields has a minimum rotation frequency exceeding 1050 Hz, which may explain the observed very high spin frequency of a pulsar with m=1122 Hz.

This paper describes recent results from a partnership between the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop, improve, and flight test a multi-aircraft collaborative architecture, focused on decentralized autonomous decision-making. The architecture includes a finite-state machine, Voronoi mapping strategy, and real-time information sharing system designed to solve a challenge problem. The architecture was implemented on a pair of Yamaha RMax helicopters outfitted with modular avionics, as well as an associated set of simulation tools. Simulation results for single- and multiple-aircraft scenarios are presented, along with a quadratic relationship between mapping speed and task completion time. Further work suggested includes validation of simulation results in flight test with two real aircraft, as well as further exploration between search problem parameters and theoretical optimal performance.

Still working on the mac side...

Well done finding out
The only issue is that it works on your own mac but if you install the app elsewhere it will not work because your path is hardcoded.
But OK, at least it does something, more than it did before.

I didn't point out that I only got it working with PyInstaller, not Py2App (which still refuses to work).
I looked through your code and noticed you already had the paths specified (more elegantly than my brute force method).

Hi there,
I want to ask about the 2-cycle of K3 surface.
As we know, its betti number $b_2$=22, so there will be 22 2-cycle generators.
Is there any topological way to figure out such cycles direct?
For example, in the best case, if the K3 surface is elliptic and has a global section, can we use combinations of fibre and section to represent all the 22 2-cycles?
share|improve this question
Jay, the fibers and a section of a fibration are algebraic curves, so anything you can generate will be inside the Picard group. So, in any case, the maximum rank you can get this way is 20, but in most cases much smaller. – Sándor Kovács Jun 29 '12 at 5:07
_USER_'andor -- What about supersingular K3 surfaces? – Jason Starr Jun 30 '12 at 16:13
I suspect that the questioner was interested in the complex case, but I could be wrong. – Donu Arapura Jun 30 '12 at 18:59
In the third paragraph of _URL_ you'll find an explicit example of a K3 surface over $\mathbb{Q}$, with an elliptic fibration, such that the rank generated by a section and components of fibers is $20$, that is the maximum in characteristic $0$. – Olivier Benoist Feb 7 '13 at 8:54

I think the easiest place to see the $22$ is in a Kummer surface. Let $A$ be an abelian surface, so topologically $(S^1)^4$. This clearly has $h_2 = \binom{4}{2} = 6$, and there are obvious topological repreentatives for the $2$-cycles, given by $(S^1)^2$ in $6$ different ways.
Let $X$ be the quotient of $A$ by negation. This has $16$ singular points; the images of the $16$ $2$-torsion points of $A$. Let $Y$ be $X$ blown up at these $16$ points. Then $H_2(Y)$ is (ADDED rationally, see below) generated by the pushforwards of the $6$ $2$-cycles from $A$, and the $16$ $\mathbb{P}^1$'s introduced by resolving the singularities. $6+16=22$.
share|improve this answer
There is only one problem with this: The (integer) lattice generated by all of these is not all of $H_2(Y)$. The resulting integer lattice of is index $2^{22}$; see the book Compact Complex Surfaces by Barth, Peters and Van de Ven. – Simon Rose Jun 29 '12 at 21:30
we lose some data there? – Jay Jun 30 '12 at 14:39
Essentially, yes. This is a great way to find rational generators, but it doesn't give integral ones. One quick way to see that is to look at the intersection form: For a K3 surface, the intersection form is $2E_8 \oplus 3H$, whereas the intersection form for the lattice generated by these classes is much simpler (for example, the 16 singular points are all (-2)-curves which intersect no other classes given). – Simon Rose Jun 30 '12 at 17:17
You could try Aspinwall's paper:
"K3 Surfaces and String Duality" _URL_
Sections 2.3 and 2.5 are relevant to your question.
share|improve this answer
i find a paper by Michael B. Schulz and Elliott F. Tammaro: _URL_
from page. 11, it gives an explicit description these cycles from the point of view of the resolution of $T^4/Z_2$, seems great!

Double derived pattern in DSL
Customizing a DSL needs different expertise based on the amount of customization that you want to apply.
A 'basic' concept that you need to understand is the double derived pattern.
The DSL engine generates classes based on the dsl definition. Those classes are partial class so, like in or winform, you can create your code for the same class in another file separating it from the automatically generated.
Those classes are split in two separate files, but is essentially the same class so you can't replace a method automatically generated.
To address this problem the DSL framework introduce the double derived pattern. For each class (with the "Generates Double Derived" attribute set) the generated code is set on the base class so you are free to override the automatically generated code in the derived class.
If you have a class named ExampleElement (the one automatically generated if you create a new MinimalLanguage project) and you mark it with "Generates Double Derived" you'll get the following class structure
The framework generates an ExampleElementBase class that contains all the generated code, in the derived class (ExampleElement) you are free to override everything (except the constructor see below).
In case of the Sources property you'll write
public partial class ExampleElement
 public override Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.LinkedElementCollection Sources
 return base.Sources;
The case of constructor it's a little bit different....the problem is that DSL tools must generate the constructor for the derived class (if not the framework couldn't instantiate the class). So if you need to override also the constructor you can set the "Has custom constructor".
(Remember to select "Transform all templates" and rebuild!)
In this case a compilation error is generated stating that you have to implement the constructor. Something like
Error 1 "...ExampleElement' does not contain a constructor that takes '0' arguments Tags:

The Environmental Benefits of Meal Kits
environmental benefits of meal kits
Have you considered using home delivery meal kits but thought that, due to the individually wrapping ingredients, it's worse for the environment?
According to research meal kits may actually be better for the environment than your average supermarket shop.
The food system is estimated to comprise 19–29% of global man-made greenhouse gas emissions. Over the recent years we have seen the emergence of home delivery meal kits such as Riverford and Gousto, who have tapped into a rising trend. As a society our lives are getting busier, these services offer to save consumers time by delivering the needed ingredients for home cooked meals. This eliminates time spent on planning meals and purchasing ingredients.
Despite their ease, how environmentally friendly are these helpful kits?
Comparing Emissions From Meal Kits Vs. a Supermarket Shop
A study in the Resources, Conservation and Recycling journal delved into this topic when they compared the greenhouse gas emissions of supplying a meal as a meal kit (from Blue Apron), to supplying the same meal through a traditional supermarket shop.
How a Traditional Supermarket Shop Produces More Emissions
emissions associated with a supermarket shop
Many people perceive meal kits as worse due to the packaging of pre-portioned ingredients. However, the study found that, when considering the full life cycle, supermarket meals exceeded meal kits' emissions by 33% (6.1 kg CO2e/meal vs 8.1 kg CO2e/meal).
There were a few reasons for this:
 1. The meal kits' direct-to-consumer model presents large emissions savings (1.35 kg CO2e/meal) as supermarkets' brick-and-mortar model results in food waste from non-purchased products.
 2. A supermarket's food waste has higher emissions than meal kit's processing waste, as it is further down the supply chain. Meaning whilst food from meal kits may be wasted when packaging the food in the factories, the food thrown away by supermarkets includes transportation and refrigeration emissions.
 3. Traditional supermarket shopping produces a greater amount of emissions through consumer food waste, exceeding meal kits by an average of 0.86 kg CO2e/meal. The difference can be attributed to the pre-portioned ingredients meaning less is thrown away.
 4. Meal kits use refrigeration packs to store the food, which produce less greenhouse gas emissions than retail refrigeration. However, the emissions produced by refrigeration packs is dependent on the type used, as water-based refrigerant packs produce much less than chemical-based refrigerants. Moreover, supermarket refrigeration has the potential to improve in the future and reduce emissions.
 5. Last-mile emissions (the transport to the consumer's home) are 0.45 kg CO2e/meal greater for supermarket meals than for meal kits. This is due to it being a round trip made by an individual consumer with variance in vehicle type, distance, and number of meals transported per trip. On the other hand, meal kits are delivered by a package or mail service via a truck on an optimised route. This finding supports previous findings that food delivery services produce less greenhouse gas emissions than consumers' individual trips to the supermarket.
Instances Where Meal Kits Produce Higher Emissions
packaging associated with meal kits
Aside from this, meal kits had higher emissions than supermarket meals in two instances:
 1. Meal kits had higher end-of-life emissions associated with the packaging that ended up in landfill. As a result, recycling packaging resulted in a 14% decrease in emissions for meal kits and 4% for supermarket meals.
 2. Packaging emissions for meal kits exceed supermarkets by an average increase of 0.17 kg CO2e/meal.
Total food waste comprises an estimated 2% of the U.S.' national greenhouse gas emissions (Venkat, 2011). Thus, even if meal kits do increase the ratio of packaging-to-product they reduce food waste, which can result in a net environmental benefit. The study's results supported a 2017 study which also found that meal kits yield lower food waste, higher packaging, and lower last-mile transportation emissions, with an average overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 4% (Fenton, 2017).
How Supermarkets Can Decrease Emissions
It is still important to note that there are ways to decrease supermarkets' emissions without the increase in packaging that comes with meal kits. This includes:
 - Retailers recovering supermarkets' food waste to provide socioeconomically disadvantaged groups with food.
 - Improving the use of analytics to predict customer shopping behaviour to avoid overstocking.
 - Engaging with customers to implement regimes such as meal planning to reduce consumer food waste.
Overall, it seems that meal kits can not only benefit your lifestyle but also the environment. Especially for busier people who struggle to put time aside for meal planning, opting into these home delivery services could seriously help you reduce your carbon footprint by reducing your food waste.

If the diagonals are not equal, then either of two things is wonky.
1. The side walls are not plumb presently, and when you pull the top plate inwards they will either be more out of plumb or more in.
2. The ends of the front, unsheathed wall are not of equal height. If they were built on the floor with equal length studs, that's not likely. If the studs were nailed in place then more likely....?
Check both side walls right at the front corner for plumb and see what they read. This ain't rocket surgery, so you can make it better without too much trouble. :smile3:
If you don't have a come along, drive a substantial stake into the ground about 8 ft away and brace a 2 x 4 against the wall at the top to push it plumb. Once it's good, toe nail it in place until you can properly brace it. Proper diagonal bracing is "let in" to each stud as it passes over them making the brace flush for the sheathing.
Sheathing alone will brace it, but it aughta be plumb first, then nailed. The 4 X 8 sheathing can be used as large square, better than a 24" framing square in the corners.

Tromping up a mountain to learn about backcountry ski mountaineering racing, host Dr. North gets a real workout. Having just flown in from Hong Kong, Dr. North has no winter gear, so borrows Strafe's Highlands Jacket. The waterproof jacket proves to keep the good doctor warm in 30 degree weather, and as he starts to work up a sweat, he discovers just how important breathability is in a jacket.
The key to staying comfortable is staying dry. While waterproof materials keep water from getting into a jacket, breathable materials allow water to escape from the inside of the jacket. Ideally you want both, and this is what Polartec's Neoshell does. During rigorous activity a person will start sweating to cool themselves, this sweat turns into water vapor inside the jacket. To allow the water vapor to escape, Neoshell has microscopic pores big enough to allow the water vapor to escape, and small enough to keep water out. By allowing the water vapor to escape, Dr. North remains dry inside the jacket, allowing him to stay warm and feeling good!

While it may not seem significant at first, sexing your pet crested gecko is actually important from the point of view of not just breeding but also potential cohabitation and dietary requirements.
Plus, isn't it actually interesting to know what sex your pet crested gecko is?
Here, we look at how to sex your crested gecko and why.
Why Sex Your Crested Gecko?
Sexing your crested gecko will play an important role in your plan ahead as a pet owner in terms of breeding, cohabitation, and diet of your pet crested gecko.
While most other fundamental needs of crested geckos are pretty much the same regardless of their sex, things like whether or not you should let your crested geckos cohabitate will depend heavily on their sex.
Reason 1 – Breeding
If you want to venture into the arena of breeding your crested geckos, the first and foremost thing you will need to know is the sex of your crested geckos.
You will, by default, need one of your crested geckos to be a female, while the other, be a male. And the only way of knowing which one is which, will be by knowing how to sex your crested geckos.
Reason 2 – Cohabitation
Some pet owners of reptiles, especially species like the crested gecko, are interested in letting their pets cohabitate. If you happen to be one of those, then it is pertinent for you to know the sex of your crested geckos.
You can never house two male crested geckos in the same enclosure. It will always lead to fights over territory and resources. Both of your crested geckos will end up harming and injuring each other.
On the other hand, you can easily house two or more female crested geckos in a single enclosure, provided that the enclosure is big enough for all the crested geckos to have their own spots for warming up, cooling down, eating, drinking water, etc.
You can house a male and a female crested gecko, but you will need to monitor them consistently and regularly.
It is obvious that in such a pairing, mating will become a regular activity. But you will need to ensure that the male crested gecko does not bully the female crested gecko or show physical aggression towards her.
So, cohabitation needs a lot of planning and monitoring. And the first step in it is to know the sex of your crested geckos.
Reason 3 – Diet Planning
Your female crested gecko will need a diet that is denser in nutrients, especially calcium. Female crested geckos lay eggs with or without mating.
It is a part of their normal bodily cycles. The eggs laid without mating are naturally infertile. Nevertheless, it takes a toll on the calcium reserves in the body of the female crested gecko.
This makes female crested geckos more prone to developing fatal illnesses like metabolic bone disorder.
Knowing the sex of your crested gecko will therefore allow you to make more informed choices about the diet of your pet.
4 Ways of Sexing Adult Crested Geckos
The first and foremost thing you need to do before sexing your crested gecko is to wait until the right age.
While you can differentiate between the two sexes of crested geckos as early as 4 months of age, you should hold off the sexing process until your crested gecko is at least 6 to 9 months old.
This is because regardless of the method you use to sex your crested gecko, it will require you to handle your pet.
And it is highly recommended that you do not handle your pet until it is at least 6 months of age – younger crested geckos tend to be more skittish and physically weaker. So, when held, they may suddenly jump off your hand and injure themselves by landing improperly on a hard surface.
That being out of the way, there are 4 ways of sexing adult crested geckos:
Identifying the hemipenal bulges.
This is the easiest way of sexing your crested gecko – and it requires the least handling.
All you have to do is either hold your crested gecko a little above your head or place it in a clear and transparent bowl or container. Then, with a torch, visually inspect the region near its vent and at the base of its tail.
If your crested gecko has bulges in that region, then it is a male crested gecko. Those bulges are the bubble-shaped cloaca in which the male crested geckos keep their two hemipenes stored until it is time to mate.
If there is no hemipenal or bubble-shaped bulge near the vent, your crested gecko is very likely a female.
Identifying the pre-anal pores.
This is another way of identifying the sex of your crested gecko. In a fashion similar to the one mentioned above, you will need to either hold your crested gecko high up or place it in a clean and transparent bowl or container.
Carefully observe the region just above your crested gecko's vent, between its legs. If you notice a small, horizontal line of pores that are barely visible, your crested gecko is a male.
These pores will allow your crested gecko to secrete pheromones to attract female crested geckos when it is time to mate.
If, on the other hand, there is no such line of pores visible, your crested gecko is a female.
Size of the body and the head.
This is more of a confirmatory process than an actual standalone way of sexing your crested gecko. If, by using the two aforementioned ways, you have clarity about the sex of your crested gecko, then inspecting the general size of the body and head of your pet will allow you to confirm your findings.
As is the case with most animals, the male crested gecko will be larger and broader in size when compared to a female crested gecko.
Talk to a vet with expertise in crested geckos.
When all else fails and you are still unsure or unsatisfied with your findings, you should turn to a professional with experience. Talk to the vet of your crested gecko and they will be able to find out the sex of your pet for you.
They won't exactly use any different methods – they will just have a keener eye and all the necessary tools required for hassle-free sexing of your crested gecko.
Is Crested Gecko Gender Temperature-Dependent?
No, the gender of a crested gecko is not temperature-dependent.
A common misconception that floats around a lot is that if you incubate the eggs of a crested gecko at a higher temperature, you will get more males as opposed to females at lower temperatures.
That is untrue. The temperature of the incubator is important for the health of your crested gecko eggs – but they do not determine the gender of the hatchlings.
So, never increase or decrease the temperature of your crested gecko's incubator beyond the thresholds. The ideal temperature for the incubator is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can a Crested Gecko Change Its Gender?
No, a crested gecko cannot change its gender. The gender of a crested gecko, much like the gender of most animals, is determined at birth and remains the same for the rest of its life.
What can cause confusion, however, is sexing a crested gecko when it is still very young. Some breeders and sellers may make false claims about selling male or female crested gecko hatchlings or babies.
You should not fall for those claims because the sex of a crested gecko can only be confirmed after your crested gecko reaches an age of 9 or 10 months.
So, if you bought a female baby crested gecko, but are now realizing that your crested gecko is actually a male – your pet hasn't changed its gender. It was never a female crested gecko, to begin with.
How Old Does My Crested Gecko Need To Be?
In order for you to sex your crested gecko accurately, your pet needs to be at least 9 to 10 months old.
What Size Can You Sex A Crested Gecko?
You can sex a crested gecko when it is roughly 6 to 9 inches in size and weighs somewhere between 16 and 35 grams.
Sexing your crested gecko has numerous benefits in terms of cohabitation, breeding, and diet planning. Knowing how and when to sex your crested gecko will help you know the gender of your pet accurately.
Do not fall for false claims of the sex of crested geckos by breeders or sellers who claim to sell baby female or baby male crested geckos.
The sex of a crested gecko can only be accurately identified when it is around 9 months of age, 6 to 9 inches in size, and somewhere between 16 to 35 grams in weight.


text: The authors derive a diffraction coefficient which is suitable for calculating the field diffracted by the vertices of perfectly conducting objects. This diffraction coefficient is used to calculate the field scattered by the corner of a metallic sheet. Two diffraction coefficients, one for edges and one for vertices, are derived by solving the appropriate canonical problems using the physical optics (PO) approximation. The diffraction coefficients are calculated by first using the PO approximation which consists of calculating the total field on the surface of an object from the incident field according to the laws of geometrical optics (GO), and then calculating the scattered field by employing this total surface field in a vector diffraction integral. The validity of the diffraction coefficients has been investigated by comparing their predictions with experimental measurements of the scattered field from a single corner of a rectangular metal sheet, and good agreement was found.

I am aware that the way to change user picture, is creating a .face file on /home... The thing is, this only works when one checks the users and groups on System directory... When it's time to login, nothing is displayed, but the default "faceless" icon... Why is this?
I am using Xubuntu 11.04

enter image description here
*For Xubuntu 14.04 : The image must be as high as wide : 200x200 for ex. Open Terminal (CTRL-ATL-T) and copy it to ~/.face Reboot to see if all is OK ?
For Xubuntu versions before 11.10
Create a 96x96 jpg (JPEG) and renamed it as ~/.face.
For Xubuntu versions 11.10 and above
Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face.
Log-out to see your masterpiece.
How To:
1. Using GIMP
The in-built image editor in Xubuntu is Gimp.
Load the image in Gimp and crop the image to approximately 96x96 or 96x72 pixels depending upon your xubuntu version as described above.
Then fine-tune your image via Image - Scale Image...
enter image description here
Break the scale link as shown and enter the pixel size 96 x 96 or 96 x 72 as appropriate. Complete the scale by clicking the Scale button
Save the file. If necessary save the file type when saving (jpg or png).
2. Using Imagemagick
imagemagick comes with several command line image manipulation programs but the one we need to resize the image is named convert
convert original.jpg -resize 96x96 ~/.face
This will create a copy of original.jpg named .face, with a resolution of 96x96 and place it in your home directory.

 My .face suddenly started showing after upgrading to Raring, but there's still no GUI for changing it in Xubuntu. If there's no GUI for changing it, it really shouldn't be shown (I can imagine less technical users being upset by having some photo there which they cannot change!)

In Xubuntu 13.10, I believe any square PNG ~/.face file will work. Even transparent ones!
A rectangular image will be squashed, so only use square. Go to switch user screen to test it while editing.

Application->System->Administration->About Me
Click on the picture-less icon next to your Name and change it to whatever pic you'd like :)

Xubuntu 13.04, created a 64x64 JPEG file, placed it as $HOME/.face -- it works immediately even before logoff (as you can see in Settings-Users and Groups)

96x96 works in 13.04 Xubuntu, at least it does for me. For some reason, I used to have the blank two figure icon in the Login window, then one day after an update, I just had a square with a red X in it. I added the 96x96 .face picture in $home and now have a nice Santa Fe engine at login now.

How do you take care of a 7 8 week old squirrel?
If the baby is pink, fat, round, warm and squirms when touched, allow at least two hours for his mother to find him again. Put him in a high-sided box he can't fall out of, put in a clean T-shirt and attach the box to the tree you found him under, as high as you can, or place it nearby out of reach of predators.
Can a baby squirrel survive falling out of a tree?
Baby squirrels that fall to the ground will perish unless their mothers find them in time or wildlife lovers step up to save their lives. Mom is probably out there. She did not abandon it, and she doesn't care that you touched it. Dry it with a towel if it is wet.
What can I feed my 7 week old squirrel?
These foods may include kale, broccoli, apples, grapes, sweet potato, and hard-shelled nuts out of the shell and a good quality rodent diet. ( At Chris's Squirrels and More we offer Mazuri Rodent Block or Zupreme Primate Dry Diet.) Your squirrel will still be consuming formula till about 9-10 weeks of age.
How old is a baby squirrel when it leaves the mother?
Baby squirrels rely on their mother for a long time, weaning gradually after about 8 weeks and remaining with mother until 12 weeks of age, so a fluffy little 6week old, eyes-open baby, although mobile, is still totally dependent.
Why does my baby squirrel Pee all the time?
Baby squirrels teethe twice, once for upper teeth and once for lowers. Teething may cause the baby to suddenly refuse to eat, or eat less than normal, and you may see a little blood. This is normal and should pass after 24 hours. Smelly Urine. Pee should not smell when the baby pees; this indicates a urinary tract infection.
What kind of disease can kill a squirrel?
Mange can kill a squirrel if it is old, debilitated, or malnourished. The mechanism of death is anemia from thousands of Mange Mites feeding on the squirrel's blood. Anemia decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. It also compromises the Immune system making the squirrel vulnerable to disease.
How often do baby squirrels lose their teeth?
Baby squirrels teethe twice, once for upper teeth and once for lowers. Teething may cause the baby to suddenly refuse to eat, or eat less than normal, and you may see a little blood. This is normal and should pass after 24 hours.
What happens if a baby squirrel is left untreated?
If diarrhea is left untreated, a baby squirrel can get dehydrated and develop an electrolyte imbalance. If an electrolyte imbalance is left untreated, it can cause a heart arrhythmia, which could lead to sudden cardiac death. All this can be prevented by bringing milk and cream mixture to a boil.
What causes mange on the back of a squirrel?
Sarcoptic Mange is caused by a tiny mite called "Sarcoptes scabiei," that burrows under the skin to feed on the blood of the squirrel. It causes severe itching, a rash, crust formation on the skin and hair loss. The picture on the left shows an Eastern Grey with mange on it's lower back.
How often should I give my Squirrel ivermectin?
This squirrel would do well by treating it with a small quantity of Ivermectin Paste spread on a Nut Meat. We give approximately 1/2 to 1 drop of Ivermectin 1.87% once a week for 3 weeks to make sure that all active mites and all newly hatched mites are killed.
How can you tell if a squirrel has dermatophytosis?
The way you can tell this condition from Mange is the absence of irritation, crusting or rash. There is hair loss, but that is all. Dermatophytosis is caused by a fungus that attacks the shaft of the hair where it emerges from the skin.

Abstract
The purpose of this article was to provide a historical review and analysis of the research literature focusing on patients', nurses', and health care providers' perceptions of stressors in the critical care setting. A narrative historical literature review method was used. The inclusion criteria include English-language studies of stressors as perceived by patients and health care providers from 1984 to 2011. Several studies investigated perceptions of stressors using the Environmental Stressors Questionnaire and the findings did not show any significant changes of stress perception over time since 1989 until the present. There is a need to further investigate stress perceptions in the health care setting using a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach to provide a more precise description of stressors and stress perceptions in the critical care setting.

Ember Helpers: Testing
Published on Monday, November 17, 2014
Following up with my last post, I forgot to address one of the key development practices that I am finding that Ember makes extremely easy, testing. So I am going to show you how to test the helpers that were created in the previous post.
In the previous post we ran the following command:
$ ember g helper <helper name>
This command generates both the helper and its corresponding test. Open the corresponding test file for the mailToLink helper. We are going to write a test that makes sure it generates the correct link.
test('generates correct link', function(){
 var result = mailtoLink('test@test');
 equal(result, 'test@test');
});
See how easy that was, the test for the telLink helper is just as easy:
test('generates correct link', function(){
 var result = telLink('_PHONE_');
 equal(result, '_PHONE_');
});
Really basic tests, but since Ember allows you to easily build your application in a modular fashion it should keep that code you do write very succinct and simple.

How to send data from device to AWS IoT
Hello People. This article discusses about how to send data from device to AWS IoT. We should send data securely from Arduino to AWS IoT core using MQTT protocol and then we can do many things. For example, hook lambda function with data and save it to DynamoDB or S3.
Arduino with ESP8266 or ESP32, Arduino IDE, A Computer(PC) and a Cable between PC and Arduino, AWS account. Even if you don't have arduino device, you can imitate Arduino request in AWS IoT.
Create a device certificate
You need to create a certificate to each device for security. Without certificates, attackers can send tons of requests to your AWS IoT core. You can create a certificate in AWS console. Go to AWS console and search IoT core. IoT core page. Go to Secure > Certificates tab. Please click Create button at the top right and proceed to One-click certificate creation.
After that, you need to do these things. To use device certificate and private key, please download
private.key . Click Activate button. Attach policy to allow device to write and read IoT services.
Policy name can be anything. For Action, because all IoT actions should be allowed, please type
iot* . And those actions should be allowed to all resources. That's why we type Resouce ARN is
After creating a certificate and policy, please go to Secure > Certificates tab again. You can see what you have created. But your policy is not attached to the certificate yet. So attach the policy.
Create a sketch
To connect Arduino and AWS IoT core using MQTT, you should use
pubsubclient . If you know Arduino well, you can create your own sketch. But there are boiler plates for pubsubclient. Almost all configuration of
pubsubclient and WiFi is available on boiler plates. Please choose a proper boilerplate and copy and paste it to your sketch.
However you must change some things in the boiler plate. They are
SSID and password of WiFi is simple. You just type your WiFi configuration.
awsEndpoint is a AWS IoT core endpoint. You can check it in AWS console. Please go to IoT core > Settings. You can copy and paste the Endpoint. Because endpoint prefix is account specific, it's hidden below. If you have aws cli, you can type
$ aws iot describe-endpoint .
Now coming to
private_pem_key . You have already downloaded them from AWS IoT core page. You must use your own device certificate and private key.
So please upload the sketch to your Arduino and run it. After running it, you open a serial monitor. Data sending has started. You send
outTopic is a topic name in AWS IoT core. If you change
msg.c_str() to json, you can send json data.
Check data you sent
Go back to AWS IoT core. In the Monitor tab, you can find successful connections. Go to Test tab. Because you publish data from Arduino, AWS IoT core must subscribe it. Please type
outTopic to Subscription topic. It's the name of topic you used. And if you click Subscribe button. You can see the results.
Hope this article on How to send data from device to AWS IoT is useful to you. Please read Node Red with AWS IOT


Can Life360 Track Or See Your Text Messages?
avatar
Aug 12, 2022 • Filed to: Virtual Location Solutions • Proven solutions
Life360 is a family locator application that brings people closer to their family members with location sharing and place alerts, but people misunderstand its features and compare it to other spying apps and wonder if you can track text messages with it. It is a free application that allows users to track the location of their loved ones with text messages and one-tap directions. However, you cannot simply answer whether it can see your text messages with a "yes" or "no."
Life360 uses real-time GPS data to notify your group members about your location as a location-sharing app. It also tracks driving habits and the user's safety while on the road. In addition, you don't have to worry about privacy; people outside your circle can't view or access your location or texts. Here we will answer your various questions about Life360, including, can it see internet history, read or show text, etc. You will also learn how to stop life360 from seeing your location data or texts.
Part 1: Is Life360 a spy app?
You might have learned from your friends or social media about various applications that allow you to track other devices, view text messages, and track everything someone does on their device. No one, including your circle members, can spy on what you do on your devices, like checking your internet history or reading texts. Although life360 has many tracking features similar to spy apps, it only provides basic location and text tracking under specific conditions. For people who don't use Life360 for privacy reasons, what can life360 monitor? Can Life360 see your internet history, or can Life360 see who you text? Here is a brief about everything the app can do and monitor on your phone.
Part 2: What can you do with Life360?
Life360 is a mobile application that provides family security services that you can download and use for free on android and IOS. Its basic features include location and driving safety tracking as the application runs in the background. In addition, the application notifies group members if someone in the group is not driving responsibly. Users can also pay for premium perks to access more safety and tracking features for the security of their loved ones.
There are many valuable features in the life360 app, such as device tracking and locator, which allows you to track your stolen or lost devices. It also allows users to track what other circle members like to do, which route they prefer, and which locations they usually visit. Unfortunately, the app only runs when the location services on any device are turned on, and the user permits it to run in the background. It does not work when the device is turned off, or its battery is dead.
The paid features of life360 notify circle members when you text while driving. Even if the user turns this feature off, it will still show that you are doing something on your phone while driving.
One of the best features of Life360 is the panic button which allows users to send out mass emergency texts to their circle members with their GPS coordinates if they are in danger.
Part 3: Can Life360 see your texts?
Although it uses some tracking features, there are limitations on what the app can or cannot do. If you are wondering can life360 see your texts, then the answer is "yes"; the app can only see and track your texts under one condition. As Life360 links group members' devices, it can read texts sent between members of any group. All circle members get notifications when your app is active. Some applications allow users to view the text on someone's device, like their spouse or partner, but life360 does not compromise the privacy of its users and only shows limited information without any way of spying on others.
Part 4: How to stop Life360 from seeing your location data?
Life360 can only have limited access to your texts, but it tracks your location as long as the app runs in the background and the location services are on. For those of you who wonder, does life360 alert you when someone checks your locations? The answer is no because no android or IOS application has that feature. So, all group members can track your location or see your location history all the time. Here is how you can stop life360 from seeing your location.
Dr.Fone - Virtual Location is a location changer application that teleports your GPS location to anywhere you want with a single click. It is the best tool to fool all location tracking-based android or IOS applications, including Life360. Users can fake their location by stimulating GPS location with a joystick and drawing a fake route on a 360-degree map. It also allows you to play location-based games on your device without moving a single step.

Conclusion
I hope reading this article helped relieve your concerns about the Life360 app. Can you track text messages with life360 "yes" the app tracks your location through texts but can life360 read texts, or can life360 see who you text, "no" because it cannot monitor all your device's actions? The device can see if you are texting others. Still, it cannot store any data, so you can privately communicate with people inside or outside your circle. But you can stop the app from tracking your location for safety purposes, so you have to use Dr.Fone - Virtual Location to trick location-based applications or change your GPS coordinates or location history with one click.

The name Pralus was first associated with chocolate in 1948 when Auguste Pralus began his first patisserie in France. Francois Pralus furthered the tradition by creating his own single-origin bars from the world's finest beans in 1991. As with many French chocolatiers, the cacao beans are roasted much longer than their European and American counterparts. The result is a darker colored bar with smokier, darker flavors. Explore the dark, roasty, iconic flavors of Francois Pralus chocolates.

SQL Question
Have "select for update" block on nonrexisting rows
we have some persistent data in an application, that is queried from a server and then stored in a database so we can keep track of additional information. Because we do not want to query when an object is used in the memory we do an
select for update
so that other threads that want to get the same data will be blocked.
I am not sure how
select for update
handles non-existing rows. If the row does not exist and another thread tries to do another
select for update
on the same row, will this thread be blocked until the other transaction finishes or will it also get an empty result set? If it does only get an empty result set is there any way to make it block as well, for example by inserting the missing row immediately?
EDIT:
Because there was a remark, that we might lock too much, here some more details on the concrete usage in our case. In reduced pseudocode our programm flow looks like this:
d = queue.fetch();
r = SELECT * FROM table WHERE key = d.key() FOR UPDATE;
if r.empty() then
r = get_data_from_somewhere_else();
new_r = process_stuff( r );
if Data was present then
update row to new_r
else
insert new_r
This code is run in multiple thread and the data that is fetched from the queue might be concerning the same row in the database (hence the lock). However if multiple threads are using data that needs the same row, then these threads need to be sequentialized (order does not matter). However this sequentialization fails, if the row is not present, because we do not get a lock.
EDIT:
For now I have the following solution, which seems like an ugly hack to me.
select the data for update
if zero rows match then
insert some dummy data // this will block if multiple transactions try to insert
if insertion failed then
// somebody beat us at the race
select the data for update
do processing
if data was changed then
update the old or dummy data
else
rollback the whole transaction
I am neither 100% sure however that this actually solves the problem, nor does this solution seem good style. So if anybody has to offer something more usable this would be great.
Answer Source
I am not sure how select for update handles non-existing rows.
It doesn't.
The best you can do is to use an advisory lock if you know something unique about the new row. (Use hashtext() if needed, and the table's oid to lock it.)
The next best thing is a table lock.
That being said, your question makes it sound like you're locking way more than you should. Only lock rows when you actually need to, i.e. write operations.


text: This paper considers probabilistic estimation of a low-rank matrix from non-linear element-wise measurements of its elements. We derive the corresponding approximate message passing (AMP) algorithm and its state evolution. Relying on non-rigorous but standard assumptions motivated by statistical physics, we characterize the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) achievable information theoretically and with the AMP algorithm. Unlike in related problems of linear estimation, in the present setting the MMSE depends on the output channel only trough a single parameter - its Fisher information. We illustrate this striking finding by analysis of submatrix localization, and of detection of communities hidden in a dense stochastic block model. For this example we locate the computational and statistical boundaries that are not equal for rank larger than four.

The growing number of jurisdictions to ban gay conversion therapy gets closer to home.
Queensland has outlawed the practice of gay conversion therapy, becoming the first state in Australia to do so.
Those attempting to perform the dangerous practice could now face up to 18 months in jail for attempting to change or suppress a person's sexual orientation by using tools such as aversion therapy, hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis.
Queensland's Health Minister Steven Miles told the state parliament that conversion therapy was a "highly destructive and unethical" practice, adding "the risks are even greater" for LGBTQI+ young people.
"Being LGBTIQ is not an affliction or disease that requires medical treatment," Mr Miles said.
"No treatment or practice can change a person's sexual attraction or experience of gender."
The government-sponsored bill passed the state parliament just months before Queensland is set to go to the polls.
Two other Australian jurisdictions – Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) – have committed to banning conversion therapy and are expected to do so by the end of the year.
As it stands in New Zealand, a ban on the practice is reliant on Labour List MP Marja Lubeck's Prohibition of Conversion Therapy Bill being pulled from the private member's ballot.
Several countries worldwide have now partially or fully banned gay conversion therapy, including Malta, Brazil and Germany.

The Triple-S Learning Approach
Making positive changes in rural water sector performance means influencing actors to move from building infrastructure to building services. Triple-S seeks to learn and share lessons on how actors can coordinate and harmonise with one another and support the shift from focusing on stand-alone infrastructure projects to delivering sustainable services.
Understanding how to improve rural water service delivery requires Triple-S to follow a unique, two-pronged approach to learning. First, Triple-S seeks lessons from changes in the rural water sector over time: What are the sector specific changes for sustainable service delivery at scale? How are development partners influencing rural water policies, practice, and financing strategies? Second, Triple-S endeavours to learn how to improve as a change agent: Are we using the right methods for enabling change? How can we improve?
The purpose of learning activities in Triple-S
The Triple-S learning is guided by the Principles Framework— eight principles describing essential conditions for delivering sustainable water services at scale. The framework supports Triple-S and partners' learning about the rural water sector and also influences Triple-S' strategy as a change agent.
To support the learning process, Triple-S continuously looks for internal and external lessons about changes in the rural water sector over time. Triple-S uses a continuous feedback loop (Figure 1) to design its learning activities and to find lessons for improvement.
The six purposes of Triple-S learning activities are to:
- Support joint learning in the sector.
- Provide evidence of locally inspired and validated solutions for service delivery, a learning sector, and harmonisation.
- Provide strategic guidance for Triple-S teams in Ghana, Uganda, Burkina Faso and internationally.
- Generate a critical account of the approach used in Triple-S to enable change.
- Track progress towards achieving activities and producing outputs.
- Inform stakeholders about Triple-S progress, and adaptations in strategy or approach.
What makes the Triple-S learning approach unique and what can we learn from it?
Triple-S staff, partner organisations, and target audiences are encouraged to learn through constant feedback loops. Continuous reflection on how activities are performing allows Triple-S staff and partners to strengthen activities that are going well and to adjust activities that are not working properly. The International work stream of Triple-S meets biannually to analyse progress towards influencing the policy, practice and financing strategies of development partners related to sustainable rural water services. Triple-S learning meetings focus on two important points:
Narrative 1: The extent to which progress is being achieved in influencing such policy and practice.
Narrative 2: How effective the strategies adopted by Triple-S are encouraging change in the sector.
Understanding the two narratives critically requires Triple-S staff and partners to dedicate as much attention to the content of the initiative—changing the sector to apply sustainable service delivery, as to the process—are we changing the sector in the correct way? Making learning the critical mirror to assess the overall progress of Triple-S allows for more effective improvements throughout the lifespan of the initiative.
By following the two-pronged approach to learning: understanding how the water sector is changing to provide sustainable services at scale, and understanding how an organisation is working as a change agent, Triple-S staff, along with current and potential new partners can understand mutually what is working and what is not for rural water supply. Together we can learn how to make water services last for rural populations.

the World's Fastest Bicycle
Mr Lachlan Thompson FIEAust.
Research Leader Sports Technology, Department of Aerospace
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia
Australian track cyclists won impressive victories at the
1995, '96 and '97 World Track Championships and the 15th Commonwealth
Games. The Australian team used with stunning effect a unique
carbon fibre monocoque bicycle designed and built by a project
team from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT
University) and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). Developed
in consultation with Charlie Walsh, the national track cycling
coach, this new bicycle, the 'AIS/RMIT Superbike', has allowed
the Australian riders like Shane Kelly to set new records.
Continued development has resulted in over twelve World Championship
titles and four world records. Including the World record
for the kilometre Individual Time Trial set by Shane Kelly
development and application of new wind tunnel testing techniques
have resulted in a fifteen per cent reduction in power over
the traditional diamond frame. Extensive use of a water tunnel
and wind tunnel have enabled the team to optimise the frame
profile for minimum aerodynamic interference from the rider's
leg motion. Structural design loads were derived from track
testing with strain gauged frames. Finite element analysis
techniques were validated through extensive material testing.
Throughout the development program extensive use was made
of validated performance simulation. The simulation provided
evaluation of stiffness, aerodynamics and weight. These simulations
enabled rapid assessment of concepts. Track testing with power
meters and strain gauged frames were used to refine design
data and wind tunnel test techniques.
order to produce the resulting bicycle new manufacturing techniques
had to be developed. Unlike most equipment used by elite athletes
the AIS/RMIT 'Superbike' has been designed for low cost, high
volume manufacture. The hollow frame is moulded as a single
unit in a one shot process suitable for automation. The frame
was designed to accept standard group sets and wheels. The
AIS and RMIT University has lodged patents on the unique features
of the manufacturing process. Bicycle Technologies Pty Ltd
(Australia) has commenced commercial manufacture of track
and road variants. The New Zealand National Track Cycling
Team has selected the 'Superbike' for the 1997 and 1999 seasons.
It is anticipated that the technology will enable a new manufacturing
industry to be developed in Australia.
engineering development has resulted in the project winning
an Engineering Excellence Award from the Institution of Engineers
Australia, two Innovation Awards and the 1995 Velo News Award
for "Best Technical Development for 1995 in Road or Track".
This paper discuses the engineering techniques, research and
project management required to create the Australian Superbike.
stunning ride by Chris Boardman on the Lotus Bicycle(1)
in the Barcelona Olympics heralded a dramatic change in Olympic
track cycling. The UCI's rule change opened the door for the
monocoque bicycle to show its potential. Unlike the much later
Lotus Sport, Boardman's bicycle was a one-off with highly
specialised components. His ride did however set the stage
for a new era in competitive cycling
Chris Boardman rode to Olympic Gold the RMIT and AIS project
team set out to build a 'Superbike'. The RMIT-AIS team sought
a design that optimises weight, stiffness and aerodynamics
while conforming to the rules of the Union Cyclist Internationale
(UCI). The University was at the time seeking a suitable project
to demonstrate new low cost advanced composite manufacturing
techniques. The project team included engineers, technicians
and students from RMIT Aerospace Engineering, the AIS and
RMIT Industrial Design.
Olympic track cycling coach Charlie Walsh defined the initial
design criteria with the project team in late 1992. The resulting
bicycle must use a conventional group set of standard(3,6)
cranks, bearings, brakes, wheels, forks, handlebars, seat,
etc. Further criteria imposed by RMIT was that the design
must equal or exceed the structural stiffness of a steel bicycle
while offering lower aerodynamic drag and weight without compromising
reliability. It was also desirable for commercial purposes
that the resulting design be suitable for low cost, high volume

this project the needs of the end user were paramount to the
success of the end product. Competition bicycles are made
to the rider's individual specific requirements. The client
specifications were defined and completely fulfilled. These
specifications included critical geometry as shown below and
certain subjective characteristics as ride and comfort. Stiffness,
strength, reliability and use of standard components were
systems engineering approach was adopted for the project.
A requirement analysis was undertaken to establish the
design criteria and project milestones. The project
plan and budget were developed using the findings of
this analysis. Riding position and frame geometry defined
by the AIS were checked against a current AIS Olympic
steel frame. This same frame was later used to define
minimum stiffness criteria.

written and validated. The mathematical model was validated
against actual track performances using the SRM dynamometer

component in the bicycle system including the rider. The results
of this investigation showed that the frame and front fork

Development of improved wind tunnel techniques was considered
a high priority.

design files and technical reports on each task. Coupon testing
provided material properties for the Finite Element Models(4)
(FEM). Laboratory tests were used to prove structural details
before progressing to track testing.
track and wind tunnel testing was used to validate design
changes. Each phase of the project has required critical evaluation
by both the design team and the national track cycling team.
Decisions were made at project or task meetings to ensure
prompt reporting of results and effective implementation of
prototype was required to undergo structural testing for stiffness
followed by a general inspection. Modal analysis is being
developed as a tool for non-destructive inspection and quality
control. This technique of vibration analysis(2)
will provide a cost effective "finger print" technique
for production quality control.
In order to minimise aerodynamic drag new and innovative wind
tunnel testing techniques were developed. This included the
use of artificial legs to accurately study the airflow over
the bicycle. With this unique rig the aerodynamics of the
complete system could be represented.
investigations showed that the rider's legs dramatically influenced
the flow pattern(6) and resulting drag.
To obtain accurate and repeatable wind tunnel results with
live athletes was extremely difficult. The sensitive wind
tunnel balance required precise knowledge of the centre of
mass in order to apply corrections for induced forces due
to moment couples. In the development of the 'Superbike' the
rider was replaced with a pair of lightweight Styrofoam®
legs. A similar lightweight torso, head and arms could also
be fitted. The rear wheel was driven by an electric motor
beneath the wind tunnel floor. A simple belt drive under the
floor also drove the front wheel. By having the motor and
drive system part of the bicycle accurate and repeatable drag
measurement was possible.
May 1993 the project team arrived at a basic conceptual design
for a carbon fibre monocoque bicycle. A prototype of this
design was built for initial testing. Wind tunnel testing
was carried out to refine the aerodynamic shape. The instrumented
prototype was evaluated on the track by world champion sprint
cyclist Gary Neiwand. This testing allowed the engineers to
determine handling characteristics and the loads encountered
during competition. The data obtained was used to optimise
prototypes for testing and competition has resulted
in the 'Superbike' meeting or exceeding all of the design
criteria. Independent tests on the 1994 variant by Dr.
Neil Craig of the South Australian Institute(6)
of Sport at the Adelaide Superdrome showed the 'Superbike'
to require 5% less power than the then current steel
AIS Olympic tubular frame.
improvement was made possible by designing a new wind
tunnel balance. The use of a 'hover board' bicycle mounting
eliminated balance interactions. This technique allowed
further refinement and development of the 'Superbike.

The requirement study showed that a one-size monocoque shell
could be developed to suit a wide range of rider size. One
single size of the 'Superbike' can accommodate riders from
1600 mm to 1900 mm in height.
'Superbike' is unique in that it has been designed from the
outset to be of a shape and structure that can be easily and
cheaply produced in high volume(3).

How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance
By GrabCAD Tutorials on June 14th, 2017 1 comment
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system.
A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation.
Have fun and happy printing!
 1. Step 1:
 Step 1: Figure out your Z Layer Height. You probably know by now that most FDM printers lay out beads of molten plastic in an XY plane, then move the build platform or the head in the Z direction and start again with another XY layer.
 What you may NOT know is that the beads are not the same wide as they are high (which is why they are ovals in the picture above, not circles). But there IS a relation between the height and the width, and the height is usually easier to figure out in most FDM systems.
 If you're using GrabCAD Print, this is easy to find. Choose your printer in the bottom right, and then hit your "Print Settings" panel to see your slice heights. In the picture below, I've highlighted that I've chosen one of our Boston area F370's, and that it gives me four possible slice heights (0.005, 0.007, 0.010 or 0.013 inches).
 The point here is to choose ONE of those slice heights and continue.
 2. Step 2:
 Step 2: Convert that Z Layer Height into an XY bead width. This can either be the hardest or easiest step.
 Now, typically, (let the record show that I said 'typically', AND stressed it), for Stratasys printers, your XY width was 2 times your Z height, because the nozzle squished down the bead, to make it stick to the previous layers.
 So, if I chose a Z height of 0.005" to print at, my typical (let the record show…) XY layer thickness would be 0.010 inches. Thus, when designing my sliding components in CAD, I would start by leaving 0.010" clearance between those moving parts.
 Of course, many printers have different values for this conversion (typically…) so make sure to check this for your own system. But 2x the Z height is a decent place to start.
 3. Step 3:
 Step 3: Test the fit with a small, 35-minute print, BEFORE making your HUGE, 27-hour print.
 3D printing is supposed to be all about the testing and iterating, right? So we'd be foolish not to iterate and test on this key idea too before printing your masterpiece of sliding motion.
 4. Step 4:
 So, here is me, trying to fit a base and cover together with NO gap between the parts in my CAD
 Unsurprisingly, they don't fit.
 5. Step 5:
 Now here's me, putting together a base and cover with 0.010" gap in my CAD files.
 And with 2x the Z height gap, the parts fit great!
 6. Step 6:
 And just for one last sanity check, if I printed these parts at 0.020" or 0.030" clearance, they fit, but the fit is loose and sloppy.
 If you look closely at the picture, you can even SEE the gap between the parts, which is too much.
