merged tables. If no other tools are available, you can use diff(1) to collect differences between the /before and /after files, and merge manually with a text editor.
 The following example assumes that the merged results are available in /after.
 7. Load the merged data into NIS+. The following example uses the group table.
 # nisaddent -m -f /after/group group
 8. Remove LDAP entries that should not exist after the merge.
 A. If there are LDAP entries that do not exist in the (now merged) NIS+ data, and that should not exist in LDAP after the upload, you must remove those LDAP entries.
 Your LDAP server might provide a convenient method for removing multiple entries, such as a way to delete all entries in a container. If this is not the case, you can use ldapsearch(1) to generate a list of entries for each container. For example, to generate a list of all entries in the ou=Rpc container, use ldapsearch(1) as follows.
 # ldapsearch -h server-address -D bind-DN -w password \
 -b ou=Rpc,search-base 'objectClass=*' dn | \
 grep -i ou=Rpc | grep -v -i \^ou=Rpc > /tmp/delete-dn
 See Performance and Indexing for an explanation of the meta-arguments (server-address, bind-DN, for example).
 B. You can now edit the result file (/tmp/delete-dn) to specify only those entries that should be removed. Alternatively, in order to remove all entries in the container, use the file as is, and rely on the NIS+ upload to restore the LDAP data. Either way, you should backup the LDAP data before performing the ldapdelete operation below.
 C. Use ldapdelete to remove LDAP entries, redirecting stdout (which usually is one blank line for each entry removed) to /dev/null.
 # ldapdelete -h server-address -D bind-DN -w password \
 /tmp/delete-dn /dev/null
 D. Repeat the above procedure for each container that has at least one entry which must be removed.


Sometimes it is useful to be able to fairly quickly fire off a directory of unit tests using MxUnit. EditPlus and the UserTool functionality come in handy once again:
 1. Create a new user tool; I called mine MxUnitTest a Directory
 2. Command: c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
 3. Argument: http://localhost/mxunit/runner/HtmlRunner.cfc?method=run&test;=$(FileDir)&output;=html&componentPath;=$(Prompt)
The $(Prompt) argument is there to ask you what the component path is. For example I just ran this one against lb2.unittests.model.bean - it wants the component path to the directory so make sure you don't include the final portion that would point to a specific component.
The ($FileDir) argument basically grabs the full path to whatever directory your currently active file is in.

Child containers
Component: NServiceBus
NuGet Package NServiceBus (7.2 - 7.3)
Child containers are a snapshot of the main container providing an additional instance lifetime scope.
Child container scope in NServiceBus
NServiceBus creates a child container for each transport message that is received. During message processing, all InstancePerUnitOfWork scoped instances that are created are resolved as singletons within the context of the same message. This is helpful to support the sharing of database sessions and other resources with lifetimes specific to the processed message.
Objects can be configured in a child container scope using the InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime:
 registration: components =>
Deterministic disposal
Child containers automatically dispose all IDisposable instances created with InstancePerUnitOfWork lifetime once the message is processed. This is useful for managing things like database sessions which must be disposed of properly.

Concourse
3.6.3 Garbage Collection
One key difference between Concourse and other CI systems is that everything runs in isolated environments. Where some CI systems may just run builds one at a time on a single VM and reusing a working directory, Concourse creates fresh Containers and Volumes to ensure things can safely run in a repeatable environment, isolated from other workloads running on the same worker.
This introduces a new problem of knowing when Concourse should remove these containers and volumes. Safely identifying things for removal and then getting rid of them, releasing their resources, is the process of garbage collection.
3.6.3.1 Goals
Let's define our metrics for success:
 - Safe. There should never be a case where a build is running and a container or volume is removed out from under it, causing the build to fail. Resource checking should also never result in errors from check containers being removed. No one should even know garbage collection is happening.
 - Airtight. Everything Concourse creates, whether it's a container or volume on a worker or an entry in the database, should never leak. Each object should have a fully defined lifecycle such that there is a clear end to its use. The ATC should be interruptible at any point in time and at the very least be able to remove any state it had created beforehand.
 - Resilient. Garbage collection should never be outpaced by the workload. A single misbehaving worker should not prevent garbage collection from being performed on other workers. A slow delete of a volume should not prevent garbage collecting of other things on the same worker.
3.6.3.2 How it Works
The garbage collector is a batch operation that runs every 30 seconds. This number was chosen arbitrarily and may be reduced in the future. It's important to note that the collector must be able to run frequently enough to not be outpaced by the workload producing things, and so the batch operation should be able to complete pretty quickly.
The batch operation first performs garbage collection within the database alone, removing rows that are no longer needed. The removal of rows from one stage will often result in removals in a later stage. They are run in the following order:
If any of the above operations fail, the garbage collector will just log an error and move on. This is so that failure to collect one class of objects does not prevent everything else from being garbage collected. Failure at any part of the garbage collection is OK; it can just retry on the next pass.
After the initial pass of garbage collection in the database, there should now be a set of volumes and containers that meet criteria for garbage collection. These two are a bit more complicated to garbage-collect; they both require talking to a worker, and waiting on a potentially slow delete.
Containers and volumes are the costliest resources consumed by Concourse. There are also many of them created over time as builds execute and pipelines perform their resource checking. Therefore it is important to parallelize this aspect of garbage collection so that one slow delete or one slow worker does not cause them to pile up.
So, the next two steps are Container Collection and Volume Collection.
3.6.3.2.1 Container Collection
First, a fairly simple query is executed to find containers that meet one of the following conditions:
Once these containers are found, they are all deleted in parallel, with a max-in-flight limit per worker so that the worker doesn't get hammered by a burst of writes.
The deletion of every container is a careful process to ensure they never leak and are never deleted while a user is hijacked into them:
 - If the container is CREATING, we mark it CREATED. This is a bit wonky but makes it easier to just step it through the rest of the lifecycle, since if there was a container being created on the worker, we need to clean it up.
 - If the container is CREATED, we first check to see if it was hijacked. If not, we transition it to DESTROYING.
 If the container is hijacked, we try to find the container in the worker.
 If the worker container is found, we set a grace time on it (a period of inactivity after which the container will be reaped by the worker itself), mark the database container as discontinued, and transition the container to DESTROYING.
 If the worker container is not found, we transition the container to DESTROYING, just to funnel it down the same code path as below.
 - If the container is DESTROYING, and the container is discontinued, we check if the container has expired yet (via the grace time) by looking for it on the worker. If it's still there, we leave it alone, and leave the container in the database. If it's gone, we reap the container from the database.
 If the container is not discontinued, we destroy the container on the worker and reap the container from the database.
Note that if any point of the above process fails, the container is left in its current state in the database. A container is only ever removed from the database when it's guaranteed that everything has been cleaned up.
3.6.3.2.2 Volume Collection
Volume collection is quite a bit simpler than Container Collection.
First, volumes are found for deletion. This is just a query for volumes that have NULL references for all four volume owners:
Next, each CREATED volume is transitioned to DESTROYING. This transition can fail if the volume is being used as the parent of a copy-on-write volume that is still in use (e.g. by a build).
Then, for each volume for DESTROYING state, including those that were just transitioned, we execute the following in parallel (as with containers, there is a max-in-flight limit per worker):
 - First, look up the volume on the worker and destroy it if it's found.
 - Next, delete the volume from the database.
As with containers, if any part of the deletion sequence returns an error, the volume is skipped. A volume is only ever removed from the database when it's guaranteed that everything has been cleaned up.


Sugaring Waxing
Does Sugaring waxing gets rid of all unwanted body hair?
Realy and truly you can apply sugaring waxing to all your body from your brows to your toes and everything in between.
The next hair removal trend is without a doubt Sugaring waxing, this treatment will captivate you because of its natural properties.
If you have not heard of sugaring waxing before, the method consists in applying a mixture of sugar, lemon juice and water to the skin and then stripping it off together with the hair.
The ancient Egyptians believed that a hairless body was a characteristic of status, success and power. They used the sugaring technique as the formula components were easy to obtain and the powerful method was proved to be very effective.
Does Sugaring waxing hurts less than normal waxing?
The sugaring waxing technique applied by our beauticians extracts the hair in the same direction of hair growth.
In other words, this technique implies less trauma on the skin and to the root of the hair, much less risk of breaking the hair instead of pulling it off and consequently reducing the prospect of ingrown hairs.
Sugaring waxing is clean and beneficial to your skin!
The sugaring wax is incredibly healthful, it's hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic meaning that it does not obstruct your skin pores!
The formula used by Beauty Dream beauticians creates a paste that has a very high concentration of sugar, creating an environment where bacteria cannot breed in the jar!
Beauty Dream sugaring paste formula gets rid of all undesired body hair and at the same time peels your skin smoothly.
Peeling means removing dead skin cells. Our sugar paste formula, differently than wax, will not stick to your live/active skin cells, because active skin cells are wet. Consequently improving the health of your skin.
Can Sugaring waxing lead to hair reduction?
Can Sugaring waxing lead to hair reduction?
Again, really and truly it depends on a series of factors, your skin, hormones, etc. Our experience has shown that after certain sugaring waxing treatments, the hair follicle begins to get weaker and more fragile. The hair starts to have a more shallow root and the growth becomes easier to be removed and much less pain are involved in each treatment. As sugaring wax can remove the smallest bits of hair in the skin layer called the anagen, it can lead to permanency with the time.
Book the sugaring waxing
The Sugaring wax provides softer skin and longer-lasting results by removing the hair deep from the root.
How can we compare Sugaring Wax to other waxing products and techniques?
Bikini Sugaring wax VS. normal Waxing
Sugaring promotes better skin health, lasts longer, it also can be less uncomfortable if done periodically.
Sugaring waxing doesn't cause ingrown hairs, the other way around, it can actually correct them!
In addition, sugaring wax is a natural exfoliating treatment for the skin and can lead to a constant reduction of hair growth.
Sugaring waxing VS. Shaving
In another hand shaving cuts the hair right at the skin's surface, producing a sharp end to the hair, that can be felt a few days after shaving.
Again sugaring wax is also better because it produces a natural peeling, eliminating dead skin cells. That peeling process through the sugaring technique means that you will get a smoothest and healthiest skin and the most delicious experience.
Sugaring waxing VS. Laser hair removal
The laser hair removal is much more expensive and it might not provide the expected results. The laser hair removal may or may not produce everlasting hair elimination if that is your intention in the first place.
The outcomes differ due to the person varying skin conditions and hair types.
While sugaring provides smooth results for three to four weeks and is very cost-effective.

Pokémon sprite corruptions (Generation I)
'''This article is a summary page for different variations of a glitches, etc. when talked about as a whole.
Pokémon sprite corruptions in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow are typically caused whenever either the front or back sprite of a glitch Pokémon is viewed. There are many different types of corruption.
Hall of Fame corruption
Possibly the most infamous sprite corruption. When a problematic sprite (such as Red/Blue regular MissingNo.'s front or back sprite) is viewed after the player's induction into the Hall of Fame, it will cause the Hall of Fame data to become corrupted.
This glitch does not apply if the player's first team to become the Pokémon League Champion included a (normally problematic) glitch Pokémon, however viewing a problematic glitch Pokémon's sprite in battle after getting at least one Hall of Fame entry will still corrupt the Hall of Fame even if the player doesn't save and resets the game.
The cause of the glitch is to be blamed on a combination of factors:
 - Pokémon front and back pictures are stored in ROM compressed, and each compressed image has an header defining the horizontal and vertical sizes (in number of 8x8 tiles) of the picturepokered:home/pic.asm.
 - Glitch Pokémon are not guaranteed to have these sizes set to reasonable amounts.
 - Compressed graphics are extracted to the second or third of three sprite buffers located at the start of bank 0 of the game card's SRAM (which is therefore being used here as an expansion of the console's RAM); the Hall of Fame contents are also located in bank 0 after this temporary area (separated by a 256 byte unused area), but not the count of League wins (which is located in bank 1 along with the main save data).
 - The code responsible for decompressing the graphics is not limited in size of output, meaning that an excessively large picture will overwrite the Hall of Fame.
 - In particular, a size of 0 underflows and is assumed to mean 256 rows or columns, a size far exceeding the intended dimensions of up to 7 units
 The number of HoF entries being stored separately explains the apparent lack of consequences if the League was not already beaten: the HoF corruption is not avoided, but the next time an entry will be added, the memory reserved for the first entry will be correctly set and so will the number of entries (1), therefore averting any visible effects.
 Walking characters glitch
 The walking characters effect is a glitch in Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, which is caused by some glitch Pokémon.
 While this effect is active, NPCs will appear and walk in a pattern on the screen.
 Applicable glitch Pokémon
 - MissingNo. (English Yellow non-Fossil/non-Ghost variants)
 - ヅ (0xBF) (Red/Green)
 - Glitch Pokémon (0xD6) (Red/Green)
 - アネﾞデパミﾞ (0xFF) (Yellow)
 Inverted sprites glitch
 Bulbapedia also has an article about.
 Many glitch Pokémon including regular MissingNo. and 'M (00) cause the inverse sprites glitch after encountering them or viewing their Pokémon summary.
 This glitch causes Pokémon front and back sprites to appear fixed. The problem can be fixed by viewing the summary screen of any non-glitch Pokémon (or some glitch Pokémon).
 The inverse sprites glitch is useful for catching Horsea (English versions) or Pikachu (Japanese versions) for CoolTrainer♀ corruption.
 This glitch occurs when memory address 0xD0AA (Red/Blue) or 0xD0A9 (Yellow) is a non-00 value.
 Sound and/or sound bank corruption
 Some glitch Pokémon sprites lead to the corruption of music, including potentially the sound bank.
 The sound bank (located at C0EF, C0F0) controls the 'type' of music to play, and valid values include 02 (locations 1/overworld), 08 (battle), 1F (locations 2/in doors) and 20 (special music).
 When the sound bank is an invalid value, it can lead to potentially a freeze and/or tile corruption.
 Sound bank corruption is notably caused by both Yellow MissingNo. and ♀. (0xC1), with glitch music and sometimes a repeating "(POKéMON) is trying to learn" message.
 Sometimes the music will be corrupted but the game will not freeze.
 Both?/ (0xEC) and ♂ p ゥ (0xF4) are also capable of corrupting the music via their Pokémon summary.
 Other effects
 - Game freeze
 - Corrupted tileset (アネﾞデパミﾞ (0xFF) in Japanese Yellow)
 - Corruption of the next number of Poké Ball rolls (Yellow regular MissingNo.)
 - Misaligned character
 - If the player tries to Dig or Escape Rope away after the corruption, then the player's sprite may move up and wrap around the screen possibly indefinitely
 - 0xC109 ('facing direction') corruption. Can be used to cause facing direction arbitrary code execution after using Lg- (hex:6E) (Yellow regular MissingNo.)

What is Whitelist?
Many advertisers who buy advertising programmatically will only buy from a whitelist or against a blacklist. A Whitelist is a list of website domains that the advertiser is willing to serve its ads on. For publishers getting your domain name added to an advertiser's or DSPs white list is paramount in scaling Programmatic Revenue. Just because a domain name appears on a whitelist does not necessarily mean that the advertiser will buy that domain, the DSP's algorithm still prevails.
Advertisers and their Advertising Agencies use various tactics to build whitelists. Here are a few ways that buyers curate a Whitelist;
 1. Use a 3rd Party service like Comscore to source a whitelist
 2. Working with Publishers and Programmatic Sellers to get their whitelist
 3. Only include sites they know where their audience is located
 4. Only include sites they know perform (ie from CTR, Conversion or Viewability perspective)
Healthy Ads automatically sends our Whitelist to Programmatic buyers the First Tuesday of the month, making it easy for buyers to update their DSP based Whitelist.

Setting up a Razor environment
Razor relies on a PXE environment to boot the Razor microkernel. You must set up your PXE environment before you can successfully provision with Razor.
There are two ways to enable PXE boot:
 - (Recommended) Integrate Razor with the DHCP solution of the system being provisioned.
 - Rely on UEFI to directly load the.ipxe file that's required to boot the Razor microkernel.
Because it's difficult to guarantee that all of your hardware is UEFI-enabled, configuring DHCP is the preferred method for setting up a Razor environment.
Set up a Razor environment
Set up a PXE environment using the DHCP and TFTP service of your choice.
Before you begin
You must have Puppet Enterprise installed.
This workflow describes a sample setup using dnsmasq. Dnsmasq is not intended for production environments; however, you can use a similar workflow to set up DHCP and TFTP with more robust solutions.
Install and configure dnsmasq DHCP-TFTP service
Install dnsmasq to manage communication between nodes and the Razor server. When a node boots, dnsmasq forwards the booted node to the Razor service.
 1. Use YUM to install dnsmasq: yum install dnsmasq
 2. If it doesn't already exist, create the directory /var/lib/tftpboot.
 3. Change the permissions for the TFTP boot directory: chmod 655 /var/lib/tftpboot.
Temporarily disable SELinux
You must temporarily disable SELinux in order to enable PXE boot. Alternatively, you could craft an enforcement rule for SELinux that enables PXE boot but doesn't completely disable SELinux.
 1. In the file /etc/sysconfig/selinux, set SELINUX=disabled.
 2. Restart the computer.
Edit dnsmasq.conf to enable DHCP
You must specify a DHCP range to enable communication with your DHCP server.
Tip: For more complex setups, it might be helpful to indicate a range name, for example: dhcp-range=range1,,,24h dhcp-range=range2,,,48h.
Edit /etc/dnsmasq.confto specify a DHCP range.
For example, for an IP range from - with a 24-hour lease, your file resembles:
# Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally
# a lease time. If you have more than one network, you must
# service.
Edit the dnsmasq configuration file to enable PXE boot
Use dnsmasq to enable PXE booting on nodes.
 1. At the bottom of the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, add: conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d
 2. Write and exit the file.
 3. Create the file /etc/dnsmasq.d/razor and add configuration information.
 For example, for dnsmasq 2.45:
 # iPXE sets option 175, mark it for network IPXEBOOT
 # TFTP setup
 4. Enable dnsmasq on boot: chkconfig dnsmasq on
 5. Start the dnsmasq service: service dnsmasq start

Hunger in Asia
What region of Asia has the worst hunger?
Total Votes: 2
There are at least 18 countries in Asia that suffer from hunger and about 61% or 615 million of the world's 923 million hungry people are in Asia. Asia is the world's most populated country in the world, meaning hunger numbers are going to be higher than in most countries. The southern part of Asia is the area with the worst hunger. The good thing is that rice, an important food source for Asia, is a crop, meaning it can be grown in most places. However, weather can be an important factor. Asian hunger is a major problem, though it does have solutions.
Causes of Hunger in Asia
One of several of the causes is that Asia's huge population, which is always growing, makes for little food for some. Another reason is that in some areas, the land is not viable enough to grow the necessary food for the poorer citizens.
Effects of Hunger in Asia
An important effect of hunger in Asia is, as in other places, deaths from starvation and as we said on the first page, 25,000 die on average every day and 1,042 every hour. Another effect is the children whose families can afford to educate them cannot focus during classes and therefore do not do as well. Also, the people have weaker immune systems and the children cannot grow as well.
Asian Hunger Solutions
The probable solution for hunger in Asia is that in places where the land is not able to grow food for the masses is using either hydroponics or aeroponics, which a product called the AeroGarden uses and is sold in the U.S. Hydroponics is a method of growing almost all terrestrial plants in a mineral nutrient solution instead of soil, and actually uses much less water than standard agriculture and also produces more. Aeroponics is used with hydroponics a backup in case of failure but uses a mist format of the nutrient solution and the increased aeration of the solution allows more oxygen to go to the plants and have more growth. The downside to hydroponics is that it could stimulate samonella, so aeroponics is the logical choice for Asia's hunger crisis.

What is the Holiday Act?
You can register absence and vacation digitally with Acubiz
With Acubiz, you can register vacations and absences on your mobile phone with just a few clicks. This ensures more efficiency and accuracy, benefiting the entire company.
The vacation earned in the vacation year can be taken in the vacation year. It starts at the same time as the vacation year on September 1st but runs until December 31st of the following year.
The law applies to employees who report to an employer.
Self-employed persons or persons who have an influence on the company they work for, for example, are not covered by vacation law. In addition, the law generally only applies to employees in Denmark.
What does the Holiday Act say?
First and foremost, the law stipulates that all employees in Denmark are entitled to take five weeks of vacation per year – equivalent to 25 vacation days.
An employee earns their paid vacation days with 2.08 days per month. This means they can take two days off after one month of employment, which the employer must honor according to vacation law.
It doesn't matter if the employee works full-time or part-time.
Concurrent vacation - new Holiday Act in 2020
In September 2020, a new Holiday Act came into force. It makes it possible for employees to take a vacation as they earn it in the future.
Before the law was changed, it stated that you had to earn paid vacation days in the calendar year (January 1st to December 31st) before you could take a paid vacation from May 1st the following year. If you had been out of the labor market for a long time or were a new graduate, it would take 16 months before you could take paid vacation.
That is what the new vacation law has changed to comply with an EU directive that ensures that employees who enter or leave the labor market for the first time do not have to wait years to take paid vacation.
The new vacation law thus abolishes the principle that you must earn the right to take a paid vacation in an accrual year before you can take leave in the following vacation year.
Concurrent vacation principle
Instead, the so-called concurrent vacation principle applies, which means that an employee can use the vacation as soon as they have earned it – which is why it is called concurrent vacation.
In principle, employees can therefore take 2.08 days of vacation per month.
The vacation must be agreed upon with the employer, where three of the five allowed weeks must be taken as the primary vacation during the period from May 1st to September 30th. The new vacation law allows for taking four weeks of leave in the vacation year (i.e., before August 31st).

Plaiting and braiding have a long history. They encompass decorating hair, weaving and basket-making as well as making knots. So it is surprising that John Gorham seems to have been the first person to have looked at the subject systematically. The main part of this book is a reprint of his 1888 work on plaiting crystal models has been an inspiration to many others working in this field, notably Robert Pargeter and Jean Pedersen. Along with Robert Pargeter and James Brunton's articles in the Mathematical Gazette Gorham's work is here reproduced. The ideas were extensively covered in Mathematical Models by Cundy and Rollett, also reprinted by Tarquin. It is through this book and Pargeter's article that Gorham's techniques have been kept alive. The book itself has been rare and most references to it are only as a result of Pargeter having quoted it as his source. Through this reprint the work can be more widely read and admired by mathematicians, plaiters and crystallographers, as well as historians of science and mathematics.

Scientist for a Day inspires young scientists
Scientist for a Day saw dozens of budding young scientists visit the Australian Museum for Marine Worlds and Urban Explorer.
As the Museum doors opened on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th of January, an excited group of budding young marine scientists joined us for 'Scientist for a Day – Marine Worlds'. Together we learnt about what marine scientists do and then our visitors got to try out being a marine biologist with a rather smelly squid dissection! Using some very cool technology, our new marine detectives investigated a variety of the secret weapons that marine animals use and experienced being taxonomists by identifying some Balmain bug species! We also got to see some very special parts of the marine collection in a behind-the-scenes tour.
With the sun shining down on Monday the 18th, we welcomed some young entomology enthusiasts for 'Scientist for a Day – Urban Explorer'. We investigated the spider community of Hyde Park, by finding and identifying webs. Sorting through leaf litter to find and categorise the insects we found helped our young scientists realise that there are many types of life living under our feet, we just need to notice them! For those interested in the tiny spider that was found, our arachnologist identified it as a mature female Ostearius melanopygius. We saw some amazing pinned insects on a behind-the-scenes tour and also got to hold and draw some live stick insects.
If you were a participant in Scientist for a Day, please comment on this story and share what you learnt!
The Australian Museum runs Scientist for a Day programs for 8-12 year olds during selected school holidays, so stay tuned for details of the next adventure.

Definition - What does Seta mean?
Seta is a term that describes the morphology of plants. It is typically used in regards to moss. Mosses are also known as sporophytes. It stem or stalk that supports the stalk that supports the capsule.
MaximumYield explains Seta
When it matures, the seat will usually rapidly elongate, and it brings the capsule to the suitable height for dispersing spores. The seat will have vascular tissue, and it enables the sporophyte capsule to get nutrients from the parent.
Another definition for the term seta is a nerve-like extension to a leaf. It can also mean a bristle or a stiff hair.

Hello to all,
Does anybody again to share about my new project.
We have 3 drums of welding cable and rotating with each 3 platforms (little bigger than drum dia.). Each drum cable goes into the 3 welding tips respectively. Now, Operators want to know the remaining welding cables inside each drum. The operators remind the machine that it cannot start again once remaining cables are less than to complete one whole welding cycle.
Are there any other sensors to monitor the welding cables inside the drum? Aside, I am planning to put load cell/strain gauge in each platform to measure the weight of the drum. Is my approach correct?
Please give me some ideas about how to measure these drums. Those people in welding industries
will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
I assume that you mean the electrode wire, and not the shunt cable. It is difficult to give a realistic answer without knowing the mechanical parameters in more detail.
However, sensing wire feed is a common application. The most straight forward methods all rely on the length of wire between the spool and the work piece being enough for at least one part. Thus, when the spool itself runs out, there is still enough wire in the system to finish the part. This means you are not trying to measure the wire while it is still on the spool. Instead you are detecting it after it has left the spool (which is much more practical to do).
You then just need to detect either if the wire is present, or if it is moving. Detecting the wire itself reliably is usually not easy. It is usually better to have the motion of the wire turn or move something else (e.g. around a pulley or between a wheel and pinch roller), and then detect that. This also tells you if the wire is broken or jammed somewhere in the system (the wire is not moving when it should be). You will need to make the logic tolerant of timing lags in the system or else you will get a lot of false triggers.
I doubt that weighing the spools would work. There just isn't enough weight difference between "almost empty" and "empty" to weigh accurately. Furthermore, you won't know what that particular spool weighs empty until you actually empty (at which time it is too late to care).
Hello Mr. Griffin,
Your idea is very much appreciated.
Yes, I am reffering to the welding electrodes rotating inside the invisible drums (not a naked spool which also commonly seen and used).
To add some flow of the process, we are welding for a 11 meters long max. continues welding with no stopping between 0-11 meters.
Otherwise repairs will be done and considered downgraded products if not properly repaired.
We are to avoid stopping between 0-11 meters without knowing electrodes present in the drum. Operators should know or automatilcally determine electrodes present in the drum that it is not possible for a complete 1 cycle (0-11 meters) welding. Otherwise change the drum if detects less than 1 complete cycle.
Welding speed, voltage, amperes base on the thickness welded object may affect the lenght of the electrodes. Distance from the drum to the welding tip is 20 meters and I assure this is not possible for a 1 complete welding cycle proceess.
I might be grateful if this will be done,
You might try the simple approach first. Have the controller count how many meters are used. Add to your interface a reset for a new spool or where the new spool meters are entered manually. Then have the control count down or subtract how much you used plus a safety factor, and you shouldn't be having to do rework. You could add a manual input for operators in the event they waste the wire on start up, wire breaks, etc.
Just a thought for a simple approach.
The first parameter you have to determine is how much wire is enough. If 20 metres of wire isn't enough, then what is?
You might consider modifying the feed system such that it gives you more length between the spool and the work piece. You could move the spools further away, or (likely more practical) you could run the wire through some guides to zig-zag it back and forth.
Alternatively, you could try weighing the spools as in your original idea, but I think you will end up throwing out a lot of wire at the end of the spool to avoid the risk of running out. Weighing the wire simply won't be as accurate as actually measuring it.
It is not really possible to make a recommendation though, as this comes down to a matter of economics. Your application is a bit unusual in that the length of your continuous weld is much longer than in typical manufacturing. In most applications people want to avoid wasting wire. You however have to balance a more complex feed system (and more time to change spools) versus wasting wire versus scrapping what sounds like a large and expensive part.


your own, you can easily do it with the help of a few tips and guidelines.
All you need are some essential tools, supplies, and a whole lot of patience.
Take a look at this short, useful guide on how to install a urinal on your own without any problem or inconvenience.
Step 1: Gather Essential Tools
First things first, you need to gather all the supplies that are required to hang or mount a urinal on a wall.
Some of the basic tools and accessories that you will need include:
 - Tape measure
 - Electric drill
 - Clean rag
 - PVC cement
 - Tape
 - Pencil
 - Level
 - Plywood
 - Drill bits
 - Drywall saw
 - Carpenter's level
Step 2: Fit the Mounting Board for Support
Once you have all the tools well in place, the next step is to fit a mounting board to the wall in order to provide support to the urinal.
For this, take a piece of weather-treated plywood and then adequately secure it on the wall studs with the help of some nails.
Step 3: Add a Water Line
At this point, you need to determine where the water supply will be located so that you can add the water line.
You can use a stencil here to mark the exact locations at a height of 24 inches. Drill pilot holes with the help of a drill machine.
The holes will be drilled where you'll be mounting the hanger screws.
Then, use the drywall saw to remove the required drywall in order to attach the wastewater line along with the water supply line in the marked location.
Place the pipes in the correct position in a way that they attach to the front of the faucet.
Try to make sure that you add a shut-off valve before placing the pipe in its desired position.
This will make it easy for you to turn off the water supply whenever you want.
Step 4: Attach the Urinal Wall Hangers
Urinal Wall Hangers
With the help of the supplied screws and nails, you should now mount the urinal wall hangers in their respective positions.
Use a carpenter's level to make sure that the hangers are mounted correctly at the same level.
You can adjust them as per your requirements.
Also, another important thing to do is to screw the wall hangers not only to the wall but also to the supporting wooden mounting board that you attached earlier in step 2.
Step 5: Install a Drain in the Urinal
Before hanging the urinal on the wall, fit the drain first into the urinal.
Add a layer of caulk to the ring of metal present at the bottom of the urinal by placing a strainer into the hole.
Press it down further till it is sealed tightly.
Additionally, add a combination of rubber and metal washers on the other side of the urinal, underneath the strainer, and secure it further with the help of a nut or two.
Step 6: Install Waste Outlet
With the help of PVC cement, connect the waste outlet to the waste pipe that you installed earlier.
Make sure that the outlet connection is exactly where it should be to prevent any problems later.
Step 7: Hang the Urinal
This is the final step for how to install a urinal. Carefully lift it and hold it above the wall hangers and align the position of the urinal according to that of the waste outlet.
Attach it in a way that the waste opening is located behind the urinal.
Place it well into the hangers and tighten the screws just enough to hold the urinal firmly against the wall.
Over-tightening will simply crack the porcelain surface of the urinal, so don't tighten the attachment screws too much.
How High Should a Urinal Be Mounted?
Man Installing A Urinal
For standard home use, installing a wall-mounted urinal should be done at a height of 24 inches, which is the average height for mounting a wall urinal.
The said 24 inches are basically measured from the floor all the way up to the rim of the urinal.
Although this is the standard height for a wall-urinal, it can still vary depending on where you live because different residential communities tend to have specific regulations and rules when it comes to urinals.
It is best to check the local codes of your building when installing a urinal in your bathroom or toilet.
Do Urinals Have Built-In Traps?
Yes, some models and types of urinals do come with built-in traps that play a very important role in the entire process.
For instance, a standard urinal has a pipe known as a "P-trap" where all the water is flushed into it by the urinal.
This P-trap is designed in a way that it forms a water seal to prevent the escape of sewer gases into the atmosphere.
Also, most water-free or waterless urinals feature a built-in 'EcoTrap,' which serves two main purposes.
Firstly, it allows a smooth, uninterrupted flow of urine to the bottom of the urinal until it reaches plumbing sewer connections.
Secondly, it also prevents the escape of sewer odors and stops them from affecting the indoor air quality of the restroom.
Are Urinals Hygienic?
Man Cleaning Urinals
The thing with urinals is that you must use them properly if you wish to ensure their good hygiene and cleanliness.
Additionally, you need to follow a proper cleaning routine if you have urinals in your home.
Try to make sure that the faucets, pipes, and other fittings are cleaned daily and sanitized regularly.
Additionally, you can also place disposable urinal mats on the floor in order to help dispel unpleasant odor from the air and keep it fresh.
However, on the other hand, waterless or water-free urinals that we discussed earlier are considered to be completely hygienic since they don't make use of any water.
No water means that the surface of these urinals is always dry and barely ever damp, which greatly prevents the growth of bacteria and mold. This ensures great hygiene and cleanliness at all times.
Final Word
Now that you've learned how to install a urinal, you can easily make the switch from traditional toilets to modern, waterless urinals that not only prevent water wastage, but also save a lot of your time, money, and efforts at the same time.

I'll use an example from JavaScript to help clarify my question. Let's assume I have the following object:
sports = {
 soccer: {...},
 basketball: {...},
 baseball: {...}
If at some point in my script I have a variable, sportString, that simply holds a string, I can dynamically call one of the sports objects in the following way:
This frees me from having to use a bunch of nested if statements, testing the value of the string such as:
if(sportString ==='soccer'){
}else if(sportString === 'basketball){....
So, my question is how can I accomplish something similar to sports[sportString] in Objective-C, if sportString is an NSString object?

Use an NSDictionary as your sports object. Then you can do lookups like this:
[sports objectForKey: sportsString];
share|improve this answer
Thanks. Giving this one the answer since it's the first. – maxedison Jul 9 '11 at 11:47
The people saying you should use NSDictionary for general key/value storage are 100 % right. However, I think it's useful to know that you can call a message specified by a string:
SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"foo"); // Or _USER_(foo) if you know it at compile time
id value = [object performSelector:selector];
You can also use selectors with up to two arguments, as long as they take objects:
SEL selector2 = NSSelectorFromString(@"setFoo:");
[object performSelector:selector2 withObject:value];
It's possible to invoke arbitrary methods using IMPs or casting objc_msgSend(), but now I'm getting way beyond the scope of your actual question. :-)
share|improve this answer
Thanks for posting this. Definitely useful to know about NSSelectorFromString and performSelector. I really appreciate it! – maxedison Jul 9 '11 at 16:23
Your JavaScript object sports would typically be an NSDictionary or NSMutableDictionary. Example:
NSMutableDictionary *sports = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[sports setObject:@"Foo" forKey:@"soccer"];
[sports setObject:@"Bar" forKey:@"basketball"];
NSString *sportString = @"soccer";
NSString *sportValue = [sports objectForKey:sportString];
NSLog(@"%@", sportValue); //logs "Foo"

Time-domain EMI Measurement Systems allow to reduce the measurement time by several orders of magnitude. In this paper novel test procedures for radiated emission measurements based on a realtime time-domain emi measurement system are presented. Those test procedures take advantage of the parallel calculation of the spectrum at several thousand frequency bins. By a full maximization procedure full automated measurements can be performed. By an enhanced pre- and final scan a test procedure is presented that reduces test time by at least one order of magnitude. The proposed test reduces the critical parameters that have to be selected by the operator. Measurements have been performed in the frequency range 30 MHz - 1 GHz and compared with the results obtained by an EMI receiver. The long term stability of the emission of a brush motor is investigated. A measurement uncertainty analysis based on a reliable statistic of 200000 quasipeak values. The standard deviation as well as the histogram of the probability density function is calculated and evaluated.

This script provides the base setup for state lunatic effects. These effects will occur under certain conditions, which can include when a state is applied, erased, leaves naturally, before taking damage, after taking damage, at the start of a turn, while an action finishes, and at the end of a turn.
Lunatic States allow allow states to trigger various scripted functions throughout certain set periods of times or when certain conditions trigger. These effects can occur when a state is applied, when a state is erased, when a state leaves naturally, before damage is taken, after damage is taken, at the beginning of a turn, while the turn is occuring, and at the closing of a turn. These effects are separated by these eight different notetags.
 - Occurs when state is applied.
 - Occurs when state is removed.
 - Occurs when state timer hits 0.
 - Occurs before taking damage.
 - Occurs after taking damage.
 - Occurs at the start of each turn.
 - Occurs after performing an action.
 - Occurs at the end of a turn.
If multiple tags of the same type are used in the same skill/item's notebox, then the effects will occur in that order. Replace "string" in the tags with the appropriate flag for the method below to search for. Note that unlike the previous versions, these are all upcase.
Should you choose to use multiple lunatic effects for a single state, you may use these notetags in place of the ones shown above.
 - Punishment Package
 - Undead HP, Undead MP, Backfire Physical, Backfire Magical, Stat Slip Damage, Stat Slip Healing, Drain HP, Drain MP
 - Protection Package
 - Damage Cut, Damage Barrier, Damage Shelter, Damage Block, Heal Boost, Heal Bonus, Persist
Use your Lunatic Effects wisely!
And that's all, folks!

 2. Is it possible to deal unhealable damage? For example, by decreasing HP as well as maximum HP at the same time by the amount of damage dealt? I mean, you can have MORE damage, you can have FAST damage and you can have CERTAIN damage with your skill, but what about UNHEALABLE damage? :)
 3. I have a question. There are states that are removed when the battle ends. Does the "erase" effect covers that too?
 From my experiments the answer should be "No" as the effect I want doesn't gappen after the battle ends (though it works fine if the state is removed during battle), but maybe I'm just doing something wrong…?
 - Well, no idea.
 The "erase effect" still doesn't work upon battle end for some reason, even though I fail to detect anything wrong with the script…
 - That's because when they're removed at the end of battle, it's no longer considered in-battle. Lunatic State effects only occur in-battle.

 6. I'm sorry that I need to ask this and it might be a stupid question, but for some reason I don't really understand what I need to replace "string" with. If I want to make a "death sentence"-state for example, the owner of the state should die after a set number of turns, which could be achieved by using the ""-command. The problem that I have is that even after hours of trial and error, I still don't know what I need to write instead of "string" in that case. Is there a list of commands that I didn't see for some reason or does the sentence "but the users must be able to add them in themselves" mean that I need to edit the script with my own commands? Maybe I'm just thinking too complicated…
 I would really appreciate any kind of help, since I'm kind of desperate trying to find out what to do.
 7. Well i want to increase a variable x while being attacked if stat is on.
 thougth it would work like this :
 But basicly nothing happens. what is wrong about the string? When i do "$game_variables[x] += 1" to an events comment it counts the variable correctly.
 8. Does anyone know how to make a state deal a precise amount of elemental damage? I hate working with the health slip % and want to make it a static number.
 9. I think I'm pretty much at the level where I can use the Lunatic stuff now. =O Looking at what you can do with this, I'm just so happy to see this now.
 Oh Yanfly, how I love your specific preferences for setting up scripts to make battles more unique and interesting instead of just visually appealing~ <3
 10. Is it possible to use this script to create doom and auto-life states using a script call in the notetag? I'm no scripter by any means, but here is an example of what I was thinking.
 add_new_state(state ID)
 Something like this would be placed in the note box of the doom state so that after the set number of turns were up and the doom state is removed, it will then add the state associated to state ID.
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 Something like this could be used to make an auto-life state. The character has auto-life on, when said character dies the state is erased which triggers the specified state (which would be Death) to be removed, and the player to have x% of max HP restored.
 As I said, I am definitely not a scripter, but if there is a way to do this, or some other method in existence, could you help me get on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 I have looked into the add-ons developed by pillanious, but they do not work.
 11. Sorry for the double post. My examples were supposed to contain the "" tags like this:
 add_new_state(state ID)
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 12. I'm having the same problem as Skywad for playing an animation for the state, have tried both
 _USER_ = 7
 could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 13. Thanks for your marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it,
 your great posts, have a nice weekend!
 14. Could one use this script to create a two-turn skill, like Jump from the Final Fantasy games or Dig and Fly from Pokemon?
 Eg: use the skill Jump, which adds the Airborne state to the user, and when the user leaves the state on the next turn, they automatically attack an enemy.
 Is this doable?
 15. I'm thinking it should be possible to set up an entire party as the state origin (so for example an attacker could inflict an HP drain that heals her entire party instead of just herself) but I'm unsure how to implement it. I'm looking in
 # new method: change_state_origin
 # new method: state_origin?
 and pretty certain that is where it would need to be added (plus I made up a new Party Drain effect in the Punishment Package, "when /PDRAIN HP").
 ATM it works, but still only heals the caster.
 - _USER_: I have been working on something similar, the concept being this:
 An actor has a shield which lets you, when attacked, have a chance at activating an ability, which would restore every party member's HP by a small amount. I have tried with equipment that, when attacked, has a chance to cast a state on the targeted actor themself, but I can't seem to be getting those to work. I'm using the Passive States script in conjunction with Lunatic States for this:
 if c>=10
 I couldn't be assed to write it all in one line, and I don't know how Ruby's Syntax works THAT well. Can anyone with experience tell me what I am doing wrong, with this effect? ( … The state_id there is purely coincidential. I swear. D: )
 16. Yanfly, I don't know if you still monitor this, but there are two major bugs in this script that you might want to be aware of:
 1) On line 505 you have for state in states, then it calls the extension, which then also has a for state in states! What this does is it loops through the states n^2 times, where n is the number of states present! This causes weird effects with your other scripts, which you can

The fuel pump is a crucial component in any vehicle's fuel system, which delivers gasoline to the engine. Unfortunately, like all parts, it can wear out over time and require replacement, which can come at a cost.
On average, fuel pump replacement cost range from $1,134 to $1,301, which varies on make and model, location, and the type of fuel pump needed. Some signs indicating fuel pump replacement are loss of power, decreased fuel efficiency, and more.
In this Dbd guide, we have included all the information on the signs indicating the fuel pump replacement and fuel pump replacement price. To find out all the new fuel pump prices, we consulted with professional mechanics.
What is a fuel pump?
A fuel pump is a component of a car's fuel system that pumps fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. Its primary function is to provide fuel at the right pressure to the engine's fuel injector.
After that, it sprays the fuel into the engine cylinders for combustion. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- The fuel pump supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.
- The fuel pump ensures fuel is delivered at the correct pressure for efficient combustion.
- A malfunctioning fuel pump can cause issues with the engine's tune-up. It leads to poor performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
- The fuel pump works along with the fuel injector to provide the right amount of fuel to the engine for combustion.
- If the fuel pump fails, the fuel pressure in the fuel system may drop, causing the engine to stall or not start at all.
How much does a fuel pump replacement cost?
When it comes to car maintenance, fuel pump repair or replacement is a task that may need to be done. The cost of fuel pump replacement varies depending on several factors, such as the car's make and model, location, and the type of fuel pump needed.
In the United States, the average cost of fuel pump replacement expenses ranges from $1,134 to $1,301.
The cost may increase if the car requires a high-performance fuel pump or if the fuel pump is difficult to access, which can add labor costs.
Additionally, if the faulty fuel pump has caused damage to the fuel injectors or fuel lines, the replacement cost may increase. In some cases, a fuel system flush may also be necessary, adding to the overall cost.
When it comes to replacing a fuel pump, labor costs are a significant factor to consider, which range from $165 to $208.
The job typically takes a few hours, and the mechanic's hourly rate will depend on their experience level. The location of the repair shop also determines the hourly rate.
Fuel pumps are available in different types in the market, including mechanical, electrical, and turbine pumps. The cost of these pumps varies based on their features, brand, and quality. On average, the fuel pump parts range from $970 to $1,093.
When buying parts for your vehicle, there are two main options. OEM fuel pump is produced by the same manufacturer that made the parts for your vehicle when it was originally built.
These parts are typically more expensive, but they are guaranteed to be of high quality and designed specifically for your vehicle. Ford, "Fuel Pumps, … Continue reading
Aftermarket fuel pump, on the other hand, is made by third-party manufacturers and is often cheaper. While they may not be the same quality as OEM parts, they can be a good option for those on a budget.
When should you replace the fuel pump?
If you own a car, it is important to know the signs of a failing fuel pump.
If the pump fails, your car won't start or might stall while driving. Here, let us discuss the signs that indicate a failing fuel pump and when you should consider replacing it:
Difficulty starting the engine
A failing fuel pump can cause your car to have difficulty starting. If you have trouble starting your car or it takes several tries to get the engine going, it could be a sign that the fuel pump is failing.
When the fuel pump fails, your car engine may sputter or hesitate while accelerating. This is because the engine is not getting enough fuel to operate smoothly.
Loss of power
A failing fuel pump can also cause a loss of power while driving. Your car may not be able to accelerate properly or maintain a steady speed, especially when going uphill.
Fuel filter clogging
A clogged fuel filter can cause your fuel pump to work harder, leading to premature failure. If you notice a decrease in engine performance, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter.
Noisy fuel pump
If you hear a whining or humming noise coming from the gas tank, it could be due to a failing fuel pump. This noise may increase in volume as the car accelerates, indicating a more severe problem.
Electric fuel pumps are silent
Unlike mechanical fuel pumps, electric fuel pumps are typically quiet when they operate. If you notice a loud humming or whining sound coming from your fuel pump, it could be a sign that it is failing.
Decreased fuel efficiency
If you notice a decrease in fuel efficiency, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump. A fuel pump that is struggling to supply fuel to the engine can cause the car to use more gas than usual, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency.
If you experience any of these signs, you should have your car inspected by a mechanic. They may recommend an engine tune-up or suggest replacing the fuel pump or fuel injector.
It is important to replace a failing fuel pump as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your car engine. In general, fuel pumps should be replaced every 100,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the make and model of your car.

- Check this guide to know everything about wheel bearing replacement cost.
- Check this guide on Hyundai Check Engine Light – here.
- Find out everything about Dodge Check Engine Light with our guide.
- If your Volkswagen Check Engine Light is on, check our guide for steps to fix it.
How often do fuel pumps need to be replaced?
Fuel pumps typically need to be replaced every 100,000 miles. However, the lifespan of a fuel pump can vary depending on the make and model of the car and the quality of the fuel being used.
Can a failing fuel pump cause other engine problems?
Yes, a failing fuel pump can cause other engine problems. A lack of fuel delivery to the engine can result in engine misfires, loss of power, and other performance issues, leading to costly repairs if left untreated.
Can I replace my own fuel pump, or do I need a mechanic?
Replacing a fuel pump can be a complex and potentially dangerous process, as it involves working with fuel and electrical systems.
It's recommended to have a trained mechanic replace the fuel pump to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
Are there any ways to extend the lifespan of a fuel pump?
Yes, there are ways to extend the lifespan of a fuel pump. Regular maintenance of the fuel system, including replacing the fuel filter and keeping the fuel tank at least a quarter full, can help prevent premature wear and tear on the fuel pump.
Does the cost of a fuel pump replacement vary by car make and model?
Yes, the cost of a fuel pump replacement can vary depending on the make and model of the car.
Some cars may require more expensive parts or a more complex installation process, resulting in a higher cost for the replacement.
In conclusion, the bad fuel pump replacement cost can vary depending on the make and model of the car, the cost of the replacement part, and the labor required for the installation.
We hope this Dbd guide on the cost of replacing the fuel pump was helpful.

Case 1: Workers has different rates
Work rate × Time to finish the job = 1 job done
Work rate = (1 job done) / (Time to finish the job)
Time of doing the job = (1 job done) / (Work rate)
Albert can finish a job in A days
Bryan can finish the same job in B days
Carlo can undo the job in C days
1/A = rate of Albert
1/B = rate of Bryan
1/C = rate of Carlo
Albert and Bryan work together until the job is done: (1/A + 1/B)t = 1
Albert is doing the job while Carlo is undoing it until the job is done: (1/A - 1/C)t = 1
Lejon can finish a job in 6 hours while Romel can do the same job in 3 hours. Working together, how many hours can they finish the job?
Case 2: Workers has equal rates
Work load = no. of workers × time to finish the job
Work done = no. of workers × time of doing the job
To finish the job
Work done = Work load
If a job can be done by 10 workers in 5 hours, the work load is 10(5) = 50 man-hours. If 4 workers is doing the job for 6 hours, the work done is 4(6) = 24 man-hours. A remaining of 50 - 24 = 26 man-hours of work still needs to be done.
Eleven men could finish the job in 15 days. Five men started the job and four men were added at the beginning of the sixth day. How many days will it take them to finish the job?

Effect of Fires on Saltcedar Growth
The Effect of Bosque Fires on Saltcedar Growth
Rachel Clements, 14, Albuquerque, N.M.
Leah Crowder, 14, Albuquerque, N.M.
Finalists, Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge, 2003
Project background: Saltcedar trees are a non-native, invasive species that drink up to 300 gallons of water a day in the riverside forest known as the bosque in New Mexico. The trees' massive taproots also tend to interfere with the water table. A professor at the Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program challenged Leah and Rachel to see if saltcedar trees grow better in the open or under the cottonwood canopy of the forest. A recent fire provided an opportunity to see if, after a summer of growth, there would be more saltcedars in the burned areas than in the unburned areas.
Tactics and results: The girls counted the number of saltcedars on either side of a firebreak. They divided areas on the burned and unburned sides into 10-meter by 10-meter plots and recorded the height, health, and relationship of the saltcedars to the cottonwoods.
Rachel and Leah found that there were more saltcedars in the burned areas than the unburned areas. Further studies are needed to see if this is because the cottonwood canopy inhibits saltcedar growth or because saltcedars thrive in areas cleared by fire.

There is a close correlation between culture and economy, and economic development of any region is inseparable from cultural factors. Qi-Lu culture, as one of the traditional Chinese cultures, exerts a profound impact on economic development of Shandong. This paper analyzes the similarities and differences between Qi culture and Lu culture, and takes economic development of Jining and Zibo as examples to investigate the characteristics of regional economic development in Shandong Province under the impact of the two cultures. Regional economic development is inseparable from driving force of culture. Traditional culture not only needs to be promoted, but moreover, reformed and innovated. Only in this way can we promote the construction of Shangdong as a strong economic and cultural powerhouse. Culture means a tradition. It is under combined action of factors like a region's unique geographical environment, natural conditions, customs, humanities, history, politics that the region's unique culture is formed[1]. Economy is formed on certain cultural basis. The development of regional economy is inseparable from the driving force of regional culture. In turn, the economy acts on the inheritance and development of culture[2]. The integrated development of culture and economy can not only provide a source of power for economic development, but also carry forward the promotion and prosperity of culture.

Background: Population mental health surveillance is an important challenge limited by resource constraints, long time lags in data collection, and stigma. One promising approach to bridge similar gaps elsewhere has been the use of passively generated digital data. Purpose: This article assesses the viability of aggregate Internet search queries for real-time monitoring of several mental health problems, specifically in regard to seasonal patterns of seeking out mental health information. Methods: All Google mental health queries were monitored in the U.S. and Australia from 2006 to 2010. Additionally, queries were subdivided among those including the terms ADHD (attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder); anxiety; bipolar; depression; anorexia or bulimia (eating disorders); OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder); schizophrenia; and suicide. A wavelet phase analysis was used to isolate seasonal components in the trends, and based on this model, the mean search volume in winter was compared with that in summer, as performed in 2012. Results: All mental health queries followed seasonal patterns with winter peaks and summer troughs amounting to a 14% (95% CI=11%, 16%) difference in volume for the U.S. and 11% (95% CI=7%, 15%) for Australia. These patterns also were evident for all specific subcategories of illness or problem. For instance, seasonal differences ranged from 7% (95% CI=5%, 10%) for anxiety (followed by OCD, bipolar, depression, suicide, ADHD, schizophrenia) to 37% (95% CI=31%, 44%) for eating disorder queries in the U.S. Several nonclinical motivators for query seasonality (such as media trends or academic interest) were explored and rejected. Conclusions: Information seeking on Google across all major mental illnesses and/or problems followed seasonal patterns similar to those found for seasonal affective disorder. These are the first data published on patterns of seasonality in information seeking encompassing all the major mental illnesses, notable also because they likely would have gone undetected using traditional surveillance.

Hotseat: Michael Morpurgo
Children's author Michael Morpurgo
Michael Morpurgo is one of the UK's best-loved kids' authors and he's been talking to Newsround about his latest book, Shadow.
The former Children's Laureate has seen loads of his books get turned into stage plays and now Hollywood director Steven Spielberg is turning one of Michael's most famous books, War Horse, into a movie!
Michael Morpurgo's Shadow - book cover
Shadow is based on the true story of a sniffer dog in Afghanistan, who went missing during an attack while out on patrol.
The soldiers thought the dog was dead, but 14 months later he shows up alive. The question is, who looked after him all that time?
Shadow is an imagined story about what happened to the sniffer dog. An Afghan boy called Aman befriends the dog when it turns up outside the cave where he lives.
When Aman's family flees the country and comes to England as asylum seekers, the dog Aman has called Shadow won't leave their side...
Why did you choose to set your new book in Afghanistan?
I've written a lot about war before but particularly wars that have been in the past. With these stories we know the outcome. But when we write about a war that's going on, it's much sharper because we're still full of anxiety about it.
You've written quite a few books about war - what's your interest in war?
Everyone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.
I grew up in 1943 [during World War II], I was a war baby. The first world I knew was a country that had been through a war. It affected me deeply.
Why should kids be interested in war?
It's important because kids know it's there, they watch TV, they know these things are going on. Books that kids read should be about what is going on in the world.
How did you research for the book?
I did a lot of research about soldiers in Afghanistan, and about Afghan people living in north Afghanistan. I found out about people living in caves in a place called Bamiyan. I researched those people in particular and decided that's where my family should come from.
I also researched a detention centre for asylum seekers called Yarl's Wood. It's the only place in the country where we still imprison children and I was very upset about that.
I visited Yarl's Wood. I didn't visit Afghanistan but I did talk to people who had been there.
Shadow is based on a dog - are you a dog lover?
Yes, we've had dogs in my family all my life until seven or eight years ago, when our beloved lurcher died and we felt we couldn't replace her. Now is the only time I've never a dog.
What's your favourite animal?
Elephants, but they're quite difficult to keep in your house!
I like their eyes - when you look into their eyes you know they're intelligent. I'm fascinated by how ancient they are and how they're prehistoric animals.
You have seven grandkids - do you test out your stories on them?
I don't test my stories on them anymore. I did a little with my children when I was younger. But I do test my stories out on school children. When I visit schools I read them what I've been writing.
I only tested out Shadow on my wife. She always says the same thing - it's very good, but it's not as good as War Horse.
War Horse is being made into a movie - how do you feel about that?
I feel very flattered that one of our great storytellers [Steven Spielberg] has chosen War Horse to make into a film. He's one of very few directors who can do it justice.
It's a very difficult story to tell. At the heart of the story there's an animal - the horse tells the story. There are no stars. It's about a war, the young people, and the animals with them. [Spielberg] will tell it brilliantly in the cinema.
What tips would you give kids who want to become writers?
Don't worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life.
Start writing two or three lines every day about something interesting that's happened to you. Go places, meet people - so you have lots to write about.
Read a lot of books, read everything - fill your head with stories, poems, facts.
What kids' book do you wish you had written?
Treasure Island. It's the first book I loved, when I was about nine, the greatest adventure story for boys. Robert Louis Stevenson is my writing hero.

You need to merge F and C into a single matrix and transpose that matrix:
fprintf('%8.1f\t%8.1f\n',[F' C']')

Benjamin Kraus on 3 Dec 2020
As your code demonstrates, it is not necessary to use a for loop to perform the same computation on every element of a vector in MATLAB. You can do that in one line of code without a loop.
The requirement to use a loop looks like a homework requirement. You can do this using a for loop, but it isn't necessary, and your current code is not using the for loop correctly.

text: In this paper, a quantization scheme for haptic data compression is proposed and the results of its application to a motion copying system are described. The data compression of image and audio data has been researched a lot. However, the data compression of haptic data has not been much researched yet although the amount of haptic data is large in general. The discrete cosine transform (DCT) is used for the lossy compression of haptic data in this paper. A new quantization scheme using characteristics of DCT is proposed. By using a proposed method, a larger signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional method is achieved. In the experiment, the validity of the proposed method was verified.


Can Coparcenary Property Be Sold?
Can mother make a will on ancestral property?
2017 Yes challenge the Will.
Will an individual can make for his or her sole self owned property or share in the property not the whole property if that has other owners or shareholders like ancestral property..
Is it true that ancestral property once divided becomes self acquired?
The prerequisite of an ancestral property is that an ancestral property should not have been divided or partitioned by the family members, as once a division of the ancestral property takes place, the share or portion which each coparcener gets after division becomes his or her self acquired property.
Who is a Coparcener?
A coparcener is a person who acquires interest in the joint family property by birth. The essential difference between a 'coparcener' and a 'member' of an HUF is that a coparcener can enforce partition of the HUF, while a member cannot.
What constitutes ancestral property?
Concept of Ancestral Property Property inherited by a Hindu from his father, father's father or father's fathers' father, is ancestral property. Any property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.
Does Mother property belong to daughter?
The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, was amended in 2005 to give daughters an equal share in parental property. … However, it is important to note that if the father died before 2005, a married daughter will not have any right over ancestral property, while the self-acquired property will be distributed as per the will.
Can ancestral property be sold?
What is the difference between ancestral property and Coparcenary property?
A property is ancestral when acquired through inheritance from ancestors, this property is always shared by members of a coparcenary equally. On the other hand property is self acquired if it is earned by own efforts/learning or other human endeavour.
Is widow a Coparcener?
According to Mitakshara law, only a coparcener can be a karta or manager of an HUF. Therefore, since a Hindu widow is a member of the HUF but not a coparcener, she cannot be a karta of in her husband's HUF.
Does daughters have equal rights in father's property?
Supreme Court rules that daughters have equal rights in their father's property. In its decision, the Supreme Court clarified two points: coparcenary rights are acquired by daughters on their birth; and. fathers need not have been alive when the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act 1956 was passed.
How ancestral property is divided?
Under the Hindu law, property is divided into two types: ancestral and self-acquired. Ancestral property is defined as one that is inherited up to four generations of male lineage and should have remained undivided throughout this period. … By birth, a daughter has a share in the ancestral property.
Which property is Coparcenary?
A coparcenary consists of a 'propositus', that is, a person at the top of a line of descent, and his three lineal descendants — sons, grandsons and great-grandsons. Coparcenary property is named thus because the co-ownership is marked by "unity of possession, title and interest".
Can a father gives all his property to one child?
A father cannot freely give the ancestral property to one son. In Hindu law, the ancestral property can be gifted only under certain situations like distress or for pious reasons. Otherwise, the ancestral property cannot be given away to one child to the exclusion of all others.
