ID used is the object which has the items you want to duplicate. However, you can only put anything there if you're duplicating your own inventory, as it won't work if you put the RefID of the object; to duplicate anything else's inventory you'll have to click it. The second RefID is the object that you want the duplicated items you be put into. You need to watch out what you duplicate, though, as quest items aren't exempted from it.
Examples:
DuplicateAllItems Player; duplicates everything in the selected NPC or container to the player's inventory.
Player.DuplicateAllItems 356BA; duplicates all of the player's items to the NPC or container's inventory.
Player.DuplicateAllItems Player; doubles every item in the player's inventory.
Notes: You can duplicate the items of an inventory into itself by selecting the NPC or container and using its own RefID ("Player" is the player's equivalent of both a BaseID and a RefID).
Player.SetAV ActorValue #[edit]
This will set/add to the value specified to the number specified. The values that can be affected by this command include skills, attributes, health, fatigue, and magicka; a full list of recognized values is found at Actor Value Indices. When editing skills and attributes it will set the specified skill or attribute to the number specified. When editing fatigue, health, or magicka it will set the value to the specified number plus its base value; the numbers that can be used depend on your current values for the stats, but the values for each cannot exceed the following: health - 2,147,483,520; magicka - 65,615; fatigue - 65,675.
Examples:
Player.SetAV Blade 100; sets the player's Blade skill to 100.
Player.SetAV Health 1000; with a base health of 100, the player's health is now 1100.
Other applications: By clicking an NPC or creature and typing SetAV Value # you can change the specified value of the select NPC or creature. Good for when you want an NPC to have more health or do more damage, or, alternately, if you want an enemy to have less health or do less damage. Beware when modifying the values of creatures, though, as any changes made will affect every creature of that type.
Notes: The difference between this command and AdvSkill is that if this is used to increase a skill, any major skills changed won't count toward a level-up. You will, however, gain the benefits of skill perks (such as the ability to disarm or stun opponents) though the game won't tell you so.
Also, when modifying a skill with a name containing multiple words, such as Hand to Hand, omit the spaces (i.e. HandToHand).
Player.SetAV ActorValue # -(for more complex actor values)[edit]
This one will explain the usage of the more complex actor values. Keep in mind that when changing these actor values it will often take into account any enchantments you have on you, as they're already applying to the actor value. Note that a number between 0 and 100 usually means the effect is in percentages, and a 0 or 1 number will mean it will turn it off (0) or on (1). 0, for most actor values, will remove the effect.
To get started, here are some simple resistance values: ResistParalysis, ResistPoison, ResistMagic, ResistFire, ResistShock, ResistFrost, and ResistNormalWeapons; depending on what number between 0 and 100 you use, these will increase your resistance to the specified effect ("normal weapons" are any weapons that aren't silver, Daedric, or enchanted). There is also the uncommon and unseen ResistWaterDamage value, which will negate a percentage of lava damage dependent upon the number inputted, though strangely it does not affect the damage taken from drowning in water.
Some more simple ones are SpellAbsorbChance, SpellReflectChance, and ReflectDamage; depending on what number between 0 and 100 is used, these will increase the chance of absorbing or reflecting spells and reflecting damage.
The simple on/off effects are WaterWalking and WaterBreathing; they use 0 and 1, and are self-explanatory.
Blindness takes a number between 0 and 100 and affects how well an NPC or creature can visually detect you. At 0, how well the player sneaks is completely dependent on their skill, but as the number increases it becomes easier for the player to sneak around the NPC or creature as they become less capable of seeing the character until, at 100, they can't see at all. They can still hear, however, so the player can still be detected by any noise they make. Blindness also affects an NPC's ability to spot the theft of items, but not attempts to pick his or her pockets.
There are also the values Chameleon and Invisibility; Chameleon takes a number between 0 and 100, while Invisibility takes either 0 or 1. The problem with these is that Chameleon may stick on (NPCs won't notice you) even after you've turn it off, and Invisibility is bugged (if you go through a door you'll freeze - you probably shouldn't use it). Note that if you use either, you won't be able to see the invisibility effect until you go into 3rd-person and back, or vice-versa.
There are two, DetectLifeRange (0 to 100) and NightEyeBonus (0 or 1) that seem to not work at first. You'll need to save the game after you put them in then load that save before you'll get the night eye or detect life effects; the same goes for turning them off again.
AttackBonus and DefendBonus work in much the same ways.
 - AttackBonus, as you may guess, will increase the damage of your attack. The AttackBonus number you input here is, although invisible from your stats page, directly added to WeaponRating (see the damage formula for details) of all hits made with weapons; this means that it is subject to the influence of fatigue, sneaking, power attacks, enemy armor ratings and resistances, etc. It also has no effect on unarmed attacks, which includes Hand To Hand and creature attacks.
 - DefendBonus, as you also may guess, will increase your defense (a.k.a. armor rating). The DefendBonus number used is added directly to your armor rating, and will allow you to increase your effective armor rating beyond the normal cap of 85; however, the armor rating in the menu will only display up to 85, so if you increase your armor rating beyond that you'll have to keep track of it yourself.
MagickaMultiplier controls your maximum magicka. Each added number is equivalent to 10% of your magicka; the number used can be thought of as the percentage of the player's base magicka they'll be given divided by 10, in that 1 is 10%, 2 is 20%, 10 is 100%, 20 is 200%, etc., with almost no limit to how high it can go (the maximum number allowed is determined by your current magicka, but your magicka cannot exceed 2,147,483,647 with this command).
There are also three values to be used as negative effects on your enemies. Just click the NPC or creature you want affected and put in the command, but you probably don't want to put Player before SetAV unless you intend to paralyze yourself. These are all 0 or 1 values and pretty much self-explanatory: Paralysis, Silence, and StuntedMagicka. Stunted Magicka will stop the enemy's Magicka from recharging, and all three are permanent effects until you turn them off with 0.
Some other values that may be useful, or fun, to try changing on NPCs and creatures are Aggression, Responsibility, and Confidence. Aggression controls how much the NPC or creature wants to kill the things around it, 0 being passive and 100 being bloodthirsty. Responsibility controls how well the NPC will follow the law, 100 being law-abiding and 0 being kleptomaniacal (it obviously does not apply to creatures). Confidence controls how prone the NPC or creature is to fleeing or fighting, 0 being never fighting and 100 being never fleeing (a middling number will make them initially fight but flee if they're dying).
Other applications: You can change the positive actor values of allies and companions with these in the same way you'd change their negative values: by clicking them and putting in the command without the Player at the start. You can also turn many positive values into negative values to be used on your enemies by inputting a negative number instead of a positive number (ex. SetAV ResistMagic -50 will give a 50% weakness to magicka to the selected NPC or creature).

CreateFullActorCopy[edit]

This Guidance Document gives recommendations how to consider transformation products from soil photolysis ('phototransformation products') when modelling the predicted environmental concentrations in groundwater. It describes possible parameterisations of the photolytic pathway (i.e. the photolytic half‐life and the corresponding reference irradiation) in a tiered approach using the FOCUS‐PELMO model. Following the recommendations of the EFSA guidance (2014), separate half‐lives can be derived for the surface processes (kfast) and the biodegradation in the soil matrix (kslow) from field dissipation studies by using biphasic models. From field dissipation studies evaluated with biphasic kinetics, the kfast value can be considered representative for the photolytic degradation on soil surface for non‐volatile substances. This value should be determined after a time‐step normalisation according to irradiance data for the location and period of the field trial, to a reference irradiance of 100 W m−2. In case irradiance values are not available in the study, these values can be derived from databases such as AGRI4CAST or NASA, freely available in the Internet.

Snapshot
The snapshot block takes a snapshot of a given expression when a discrete events is triggered.
In versions prior to Ecolego 6, this functionality was incorporated in the recorder block.
When creating a snapshot block, you must specify either the name of the object to monitor, or an expression to monitor. This is called the "Target expression". You also select a discrete events which will trigger the snapshot.
Creating a snapshot block
From the Projects window
 - Expand the Project to which you wish to add the snapshot by clicking the + symbol next to it. Right-click on 'Blocks', or a sub-system in 'Blocks', and select Snapshot from the pop-up menu.
From the Matrix window
 - Right click an empty diagonal cell of the matrix and select Snapshot from the the pop-up menu.
From the Blocks window
 - Place the mouse anywhere over the area of this window and right-click on it. Select New | Snapshot from the pop-up menu, or
 - In the title bar, select Snapshot from the Type drop-down list and click on the New button.
Editing a snapshot block
NoteMost block properties can be edited directly in the Blocks window.
The block editor is shown by right-clicking the block in a window and selecting Edit. In the Blocks window, you can also show the block editor by selecting the block and clicking the Edit button, or by double-clicking the right-most "validation" column of the block.
The block editor has three tabs:
Properties
This page lets you edit basic properties such as name, sub-system and base unit. See editing properties for more information.
Appearance
This page lets you edit the visual properties of the block in the matrix window and graph window. See editing appearance for more information.
Values
Dimension - You can specify the dimension of the block by using the Type drop down list. Depending on the dimension the index drop down lists are activated.
Data - The data table let you specify index specific properties like target expression.
 - Indices - For blocks that are non-scalar, the first columns will specify indices from the index lists. This allows you to specify different expressions for different indices.
 - Target expression - Enter either just the ID of an object to monitor, or enter a full expression.
 - Event - Select a discrete event which will trigger the snapshot. The value of the block will then be equal to the current value of target expression.
 - Initial value - Enter an expression for the initial value of the block, until the first snapshot has been taken.
 - Information - By using the Table control button you can display more columns that will help you document your model.
Example: Min/Max, Snapshot
Consider a model which simulates the financial transactions between yourself and your bank. A block named balance contains the current balance of your accounts. You wish to find out the maximum amount of money on your account over the month, and present this value by month.
To achieve this we need a discrete event which at the beginning of each month will
 1. Reset the Min/Max block.
 2. Take a snapshot of the Min/Max block.
The reason that we use a snapshot is because the value of the Min/Max block will change over the month as money are deposited or withdrawn from your accounts.
Assuming that the time unit is years, create a discrete event named Event_new_month with the following values:
Property Value
Left expression time/12-round(time/12)

Mystery of George Stubbs's royal cheetah is revealed
The identity and exploits of a cheetah in one of George Stubbs's most celebrated paintings will be a highlight of a forthcoming exhibition at Tate Britain after fresh research into the animal and its handler.
The big cat at the centre of Cheetah and Stag with Two Indians was named Miss Jenny and came to England in 1764 with John Morgan, an Indian trader who adopted an anglicised name.
It was Morgan's misfortune at the hands of a pair of Irish pickpockets in London that led to his and Miss Jenny's identification. The cheetah was referred to in evidence as a "tyger", as all big cats were generally known. Morgan's testimony at the Old Bailey in 1765 explained that he was in England because he

Fictional Character BiographyEdit
The mysterious Soviet super genius known as Rasputin had perfected a machine that could re-animate the dead. The recently deceased Nikolai Ivanovic Lebonchenski, a brilliant general, was chosen as the first subject. the experiment was a success, but the scientists believed that a fit, able body would be better suited. For reasons unclear as of this writing, Captain Metropolis was chosen, and he was assassinated by KGB agents in the summer of 1965 in what appeared to be a car crash. After transplanting the brain into the new body, Commissar Moscow was placed in the October Guard as its leader. However, the transplant was unstable, and eventually Gardner's corpse broke apart, taking Lebonchenski with it. After his death, leadership of the October Guard was returned to Rasputin.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Commissar Moscow has no super powers. However, he is an Olympic-level athlete and possesses valuable knowledge of Cold-War era Russian firearms.

As I know, there is no difference in meaning between the following two sentences.
 1. It is not important for you to eat good food.
 2. It is not important that you eat good food.
But I believe that there is a little difference between the two sentences at least because the letters in them are different.
Does anybody know the difference?

The first sentence specifically implies that eating good food is not important for you. This means there is someone for whom it is important that you eat food. That "someone" might be the person who is telling you this thing.
In the second sentence the specific reference is not provided to whom it is not important that you eat good food i.e. it simply means that it is for sure not important to anyone that you eat good food. Consider this sentence-It is important that we have better medical facilities in our country. This means it is important for all and not specifically for anyone.
share|improve this answer
Out of context the sentences can mean the same but are partially ambiguous. Do you currently eat good food or not? This is not clear. But whichever is true, eating good food is unimportant.
However, only the second sentence allows a second interpretation, namely:
 - You currently eat good food, but the fact that you do is unimportant.
A statement with this meaning might continue:
 - It is not important that you eat good food; it is important you were born of the right parents.

Definitions for frogmanˈfrɒgˌmæn, -mən, ˈfrɔg-; -ˌmɛn, -mən
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word frogman
Princeton's WordNet
 1. diver, frogman, underwater diver(noun)
 someone who works underwater
 1. frogman(Noun)
 A diver, especially one in a diving suit (as opposed to one in scuba gear).
 2. frogman(Noun)
 A US Navy SEAL.
 1. Frogman
 A frogman is someone who is trained in scuba diving or swimming underwater in a tactical capacity which includes combat. Such personnel are also known by the more formal names of combat diver, or combatant diver, or combat swimmer. "Combat swimming" is often used to mean "combat diving", but, according to some, strictly speaking means surface swimming without a breathing apparatus for coastal or ship infiltration. Such actions are a historical form of "frogman" activity and an important feature of naval special operations. The term '"frogman" is often popularly used to refer to a civilian scuba diver. The word arose around 1940 from the appearance of a diver in shiny drysuit and large fins. Though the preferred term by scuba users is "diver", the "frogman" epithet persists in informal usage by non-divers, especially in the media and often in reference to professional scuba divers such as in a police role. Some sport diving clubs include the word "Frogmen" in their names. In the U.S. military the United States Intelligence Community, divers trained in scuba or CCUBA who deploy for tactical assault missions are called "combat divers". This term is used to refer to the Navy SEALs, operatives of the CIA's Special Activities Division, elements of Marine Recon, Army Ranger RRD members, Army Special Forces divers, Air Force Pararescue, Air Force Combat Controllers and the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal units.

In 1987, a group of senior parents interested in helping graduating students achieve their educational goals created a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization - the Tumwater Scholarship Fund. The initial effort to raise funds was done by gift wrapping during Holiday season, although decreasing profit margins resulted in Board of Directors exploring different fundraising approaches.
A new tradition began in 1996 with the 1st Annual Scholarship Dinner Auction, which successfully raised over $22,000. Due to strong community support and ongoing success, the auction continues to be a primary scholarship provider.
In an effort to broaden opportunities for Tumwater School District students, the Board expanded its program and scholarship focus, prompting a name change in 1997 to the Tumwater Education Foundation (TEF). The Foundation's vision is to:
"manage efforts and resources that result in providing scholarships for graduating seniors along with allocating resources that enhance Tumwater School District programs, helping students to enjoy the rich benefits of their K - 12 education."
The TEF team is committed to:
- Providing a direct means for the community to support learning opportunities for students;
- Creating opportunities for students to obtain scholarship funds that help achieve educational goals;
- Matching available community resources to support current educational needs;
- Enriching educational programs by providing seed money;
- Managing endowment funds benefiting long-term educational support;
- Creating opportunities for planned giving; and
- Maximizing tax benefits to contributors.

Summary
Background. Skin ageing is a continuous process, with intrinsic factors determining which extrinsic factors (chronic sun exposure and other environmental factors, particularly smoking) have the greatest effect.
Aim. To investigate the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on skin ageing in a Mediterranean population from Ankara, Turkey.
Methods. In total, 574 (337 women, 237 men; age range 18–89 years) were enrolled into the study. Data were collected on age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), skin phototype, smoking status, consumption of alcohol (> 3 units/week) and coffee (> 1 cup/day), sun exposure, use of sunscreen and sunglasses, and involvement in sports and physical activities. The Daniell skin-wrinkling grading system was used as a marker of skin ageing.
Results. We found that male gender, chronic sun exposure and number of pack-years of cigarette smoking significantly contributed to the formation of facial wrinkles. There was a negative correlation between facial wrinkling and the use of sunscreen and sunglasses and facial wrinkling (P < 0.001 for both). We did not find any significant association between wrinkling score and alcohol consumption, coffee consumption, sports participation or d skin phototype. Moreover, wrinkling score was significantly higher in patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m2 than in patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m2 (P < 0.018). Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol consumption, skin phototype, sun exposure, and use of sunglasses and topical sun protection. We found that gender and age were significantly associated with skin ageing (P < 0.014 and < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusion. In this study, older age, male gender, low BMI, smoking and chronic sun exposure had a negative influence on skin ageing in a Turkish population.

I'm confused about the words dish and plate. Could someone please explain the difference?
share|improve this question
4 Answers 4

A plate is a specific type of dish. A dish is generally something that food is eaten or served from. A plate tends to refer specifically to a flat dish that is suitable for holding food that does not have a high liquid content. The other common type of dish is a bowl. A bowl will be similar to a hollow sphere cut in half and is useful for serving soups and other foods with high liquid content which would run off of a plate.
A large plate intended for serving food may be referred to as a platter.
share|improve this answer
_USER_ gives a good explanation of what they mean as pieces of crockery. They can also both mean — drat, I can't find a good synonym now! — let's say, menu items you might order at a restaurant:
My favourite dish at the Murray Avenue Grill is their spinach salad with candied pecans.
The Ketchery has the best seafood plate in town.
These arose in obvious metonymy from the crockery usage, but have developed specific connotations. Dish in this sense is much more general, and used (afaik) across most or all of the English-speaking world. Plate is less usual, and more associated (I think) with North American usage, and with fancier restaurant subcultures.

share|improve this answer
Like many other words in the English language, there is a confusion from time to time about the real, or exact, meaning of terms. Here's what I think:
"Dish" is more of the generic term, as in "dish washer", "set of dishes", "main dish", etc.; however, while talking about dishes, cups are cups, saucers are saucers, bowls of any kind are always bowls, serving platters are always platters; however, in the group of dishes, there are "plates" which are noticeably larger than dishes and generally accommodate several kinds of food but are never used for serving food. One, I suppose, could call anything rather flat as a "dish" and never be wrong, which is not the case for "plate".

The reserve replacement ratio is the amount of new reserves found compared to the amount of oil produced.

Exploration and production companies use this to measure how new discoveries exceed (or fall short of) production. Let's say that for every barrel produced, a company wants to increase reserves by 1.5 (replacing the barrel produced plus another half a barrel). If the ratio falls below 1 : 1, then the company is using up its reserves. Percentages are also used to express this; if the number falls below 100%, then the company is using up its reserves.

How to find one differently-weighted object from amongst (3w–3)/2 using only w weighings
Julian D. A. Wiseman
Abstract: There are 12 objects, identical in all respects except that one of these objects is a different weight, perhaps heavier, perhaps lighter. Determine which is the odd one out, and whether it is heavier or lighter, using only 3 weighings of an old-fashioned scale (which reports either that the left side is heavier, or that the right side is heavier, or that the two sides weigh the same).
There are 363 objects, …, using only 6 weighings, ….
There are (3w–3)/2 objects, …, using only w weighings, … (with w≥3).

We start with the case when w=3, and so there are 12 objects. Label these A to L. Weigh A&B&C&D versus E&F&G&H. If the scale balances, then move down to the next weighing in the table (which is A&K v I&J). But if it tips to the left (so that A+B+C+D > E+F+G+H) then down and left; and if it tips to the right, then move down and right. After three weighings the label of the differently-weighted object is reached, suffixed with a "+" or "–" to indicate its type.
A & B & C & D versus E & F & G & H
A & B & E versus C & D & F A & K versus I & J A & E & F versus B & G & H
A v B G v H C v D I v J A v L I v J E v F C v D G v H
A+ F– B+ H– ?? G– C+ E– D+ J– K+ I– L– ?? L+ I+ K– J+ E+ B– F+ D– ?? C– G+ A– H+
It is easy to prove that 12 is the maximum possible using only three weighings. Each weighing is either 'left', 'draw', or 'right', so three weighings have 33=27 possible outcomes. If there are n objects, then there are 2n possible states (as we don't know whether the odd piece is heavier or lighter). So n≤13. Assume that n=13, and generate an impossibility. How many objects do we put on either side of the scale on the first weighing? Four is too few, because a draw leaves 10 states remaining (the 5 unused objects times the two possible differentnesses), which is more than can be distinguished using only two weighing (10>32). But five is too many, because a non-draw leaves 10 states: either one of the five on the heavier side is heavy, or one of the five on the lighter side is light. Hence 13 is impossible and so 12 is the maximum.
So what about four weighings? Trivially, 34=81 so we can have at most 40 objects. Again, first-weighing considerations show that this is too many: 13v13 implies that a draw leaves 28 states (which exceeds 33), but 14 on each side also fails. So in four weighings more than 39 objects would be too many, and if there are 39 objects, then the first weighing must be 13v13. This first weighing is either a draw or a non-draw. If it is a draw then we have 13 objects of unknown weight, and 26 that are definitely standard. Weigh 9 unknowns against 9 standard-weights. If this second weighing is a draw, then 4 unknowns remain, which is exactly the first-weighing-draws subproblem of the w=3 case. If the second weighing is a non-draw, then it is known whether the odd 1 of the 9 is heavier or lighter: proceed by repeated partition into equal thirds. Back to the first weighing: if it is a non-draw, then we know that 13 objects cannot be light, 13 cannot be heavy, that exactly one of these 13+13=26 is odd, and that 13 are definitely standard. For the second weighing put 9 possible-heavies and 4 possible-lights on the left, against 4 possible-heavies and 9 standard-weights on the right. If this tips left then one of the 9 possible-heavies on the left is the odd one, and if this is a draw then one of the unused 9 possible-lights is odd — again proceed by repeated partition into equal thirds. And if this second weighing tips right, it remains to distinguish between 4 possible-heavies and 4 possible-lights, which is the first weighing a non-draw subproblem to w=3 case.
As an aside, there is an elegant solution to the w=4 n=36 problem. Weigh 12v12. A draw leads to the w=3 case. If a non-draw, then create 12 'double-objects' by 'gluing' together pairs, each consisting of one perhaps-heavy and one perhaps-light. This results in 12 double-objects, one of which is a different weight, with three weighings remaining: the w=3 problem.
With five weighings 120 objects is the maximum. Start with 40v40. If this first weighing is a draw, then weigh 27 of the unused objects against 27 of the standard-weights. If this second weighing is a draw proceed by repeated partition, and if a non-draw then 13 unknowns remain, which is exactly the first-weighing-draws subproblem of the w=4 case. If the first weighing is a non-draw, weigh 27 possible-heavies and 13-possible lights against 13 possible-heavies and standard-weights. If this tips left then there are 27 possible heavies, if a draw then the (unused) 27 possible lights. And if this second weighing tips right, it remains to distinguish between 13 possible-heavies and 13 possible-lights, which is the first weighing a non-draw subproblem to w=4 case.
We are now ready to tackle the general case, in which (3w–3)/2 objects can be distinguished in w weighings, and proceed by induction, as described in the table.
First weighing: weigh (3w–1–1)/2 against (3w–1–1)/2.
Draw: odd is one of unused (3w–1–1)/2 objects. Weigh 3w–1 unknowns against same number of standard-weights. Non-draw: weigh 3w–2 possible–heavies and (3w–1–1)/2 – 3w–2 = (3w–2–1)/2 possible-lights against the other (3w–1–1)/2 – 3w–2 = (3w–2–1)/2 possible-heavies and 3w–2 of the standard-weights.
Draw: odd is one of (3w–2–1)/2, which is first-weighing-a-draw subproblem of case in which w is 1 smaller. Non-draw: odd is one of 3w–2, and it is known if the odd is heavier or lighter: repeated partition into thirds. Left: it is one of the left-side 3w–2 possible-heavies: repeated partition into thirds. Draw: it is one of the unused 3w–2 possible-lights: repeated partition into thirds. Right: have (3w–2–1)/2 each of possible-heavies and possible-lights, which is case when w is 1 smaller and first weighing a non-draw.

Likelihood ratios are increasingly being adopted to convey expert evaluative opinions to courts. In the absence of appropriate databases, many of these likelihood ratios will include verbal rather than numerical estimates of the support offered by the analysis. However evidence suggests that verbal formulations of uncertainty are a less effective form of communication than equivalent numerical formulations. Moreover, when evidence strength is low a misinterpretation of the valence of the evidence - a "weak evidence effect" - has been found. We report the results of an experiment involving N=404 (student and online) participants who read a brief summary of a burglary trial containing expert testimony. The expert evidence was varied across conditions in terms of evidence strength (low or high) and presentation method (numerical, verbal, table or visual scale). Results suggest that of these presentation methods, numerical expressions produce belief-change and implicit likelihood ratios which were most commensurate with those intended by the expert and most resistant to the weak evidence effect. These findings raise questions about the extent to which low strength verbal evaluative opinions can be effectively communicated to decision makers at trial.

How to Count the Number Of Non-Blank Lines In PHP?
7 minutes read
To count the number of non-blank lines in PHP, you can follow these steps:
 1. Open your PHP file or create a new one.
 2. Define a variable to keep track of the line count, for example: $count = 0;.
 3. Open the file using the fopen() function and pass the file name or path as a parameter.
 4. Use a while loop to go through each line of the file until it reaches the end.
 5. Within the loop, use the fgets() function to read each line.
 6. Check if the line is not empty or does not consist only of whitespace characters using the trim() function. trim() removes leading and trailing whitespace from a string. You can use an if condition to perform this check: if(trim($line) !== ''). If the line is not empty, increment the line count variable: $count++.
 7. After the loop ends, close the file using fclose() to free up system resources.
 8. Finally, you can display the count of non-blank lines by echoing the value of the $count variable.
Here's an example of how the implementation might look:
 1
 2
 3
 4

$count = 0;
$filename = 'path/to/your/file.txt';
$file = fopen($filename, 'r');
while (!feof($file)) {
 $line = trim(fgets($file));
 if ($line !== '') {
 $count++;
 }
}
fclose($file);
echo "Number of non-blank lines: " . $count;
Make sure to replace 'path/to/your/file.txt' with the actual path or name of your file.
This code reads each line of the file, trims any leading or trailing whitespace, and increments the count if the line is not empty. Finally, it echoes the total count of non-blank lines.

How do I calculate the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file?
To calculate the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file, you can use the following steps:
 1. Read the content of the PHP file into a variable:
1
$fileContent = file_get_contents('path/to/file.php');
 1. Split the content into lines using the explode() function with the delimiter \n (new line):
1
$lines = explode("\n", $fileContent);
 1. Loop through each line and check if it is non-blank:
1
2
3
4
5
6
$nonBlankLines = 0;
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 if (trim($line) !== '') { // check if the line, after trimming whitespace, is not empty
 $nonBlankLines++;
 }
}
 1. Print or use the $nonBlankLines variable as desired:
1
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLines;
Putting it all together, here's an example of calculating the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
$fileContent = file_get_contents('path/to/file.php');
$lines = explode("\n", $fileContent);
$nonBlankLines = 0;
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 if (trim($line) !== '') {
 $nonBlankLines++;
 }
}
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLines;
Replace 'path/to/file.php' with the actual path to the PHP file you want to analyze.
What is the easiest way to count non-blank lines in PHP?
The easiest way to count non-blank lines in PHP is by using the file function to read the file into an array, and then iterating through the array to count the non-blank lines.
Here's an example:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9

13
14
15
$file = 'path/to/file.txt'; // Replace with the actual file path
$lines = file($file); // Read the file into an array
$nonBlankLineCount = 0; // Initialize the count
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 // Trim the line to remove leading/trailing whitespace
 // and check if it's not empty
 if (!empty(trim($line))) {
 $nonBlankLineCount++;
 }
}
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLineCount;
This code reads the lines of the file into an array using the file function. Then, it iterates through each line in the array, trims it to remove leading/trailing whitespace, and checks if it's not empty. If the line is not empty, it increments the nonBlankLineCount variable. Finally, it outputs the count of non-blank lines.
What is the best approach to count non-blank lines in PHP?
One approach to count non-blank lines in PHP is to read the file line by line using the file() function, and then filter out the blank lines using the array_filter() function. Here's an example:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
$file = 'path/to/file.txt';
// Read the file into an array of lines
$lines = file($file);
// Remove blank lines
$nonBlankLines = array_filter($lines, function($line) {
 return trim($line) != '';
});
// Count the non-blank lines
$lineCount = count($nonBlankLines);
echo "Non-blank line count: " . $lineCount;
This approach reads the entire file into an array, filters out the blank lines using a callback function in array_filter(), and then gets the count of the non-blank lines using count().
How to determine the total count of lines excluding blank lines in PHP?
To determine the total count of lines excluding blank lines in PHP, you can use the following code:
 1
 2
 3
 4

$file = "path/to/your/file.txt";
$lineCount = 0;
// Open the file
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
// Loop through each line until the end of file
while (!feof($handle)) {
 $line = fgets($handle);

 // Exclude blank lines
 if (trim($line) !== "") {
 $lineCount++;
 }
}
// Close the file
fclose($handle);
// Output the line count
echo "Total count of lines excluding blank lines: " . $lineCount;
Replace the path/to/your/file.txt with the actual path to your file. After running this code, it will output the total count of lines excluding blank lines.

Minnesota Cancels Moose Hunting as Population Plummets
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota officials are canceling the state's moose hunting season because of a sharp decline in the moose population.
Department of Natural Resources officials say their annual aerial survey to estimate the moose population was "extremely disappointing," at about 2,760 animals.
Minnesota's moose population was estimated at a little more than 4,200 in last winter's survey. That number was already down by half from 2006.
Researchers are studying why one of Minnesota's signature animals is dwindling. Scientists think warmer weather, parasites and disease are contributing factors.

A worker at a McDonald's branch in Japan died of "karoshi" — the Japanese term for death from overwork — according to officials at the local government labor bureau. The employee, a 41-year-old woman, had put in about 80 hours a month in overtime for six months before she died. "We determined her work caused the illness," said an official at the agency.
The worker died in October 2007, after collapsing during a company training program. McDonald's Japan has yet to comment on the case, saying the company hadn't been contacted by authorities and needed to confirm the labor bureau's findings. In an earlier karoshi-related case, McDonald's paid a worker $75,000 in back overtime wages after his doctor warned him he was risking a stroke by working too hard.
The term "karoshi" is used by the Japanese government to refer to deaths — usually from heart attack or stroke — that are connected to excessive work. Approximately 150 workers die of karoshi each year, according to government data. Companies in Japan are increasingly being held liable for karoshi-related deaths and illnesses; earlier this year, a judge ruled that a man's suicide was due to his working conditions, and ordered his employer to pay $1.2 million to his surviving relatives.

Two large planters, situated at Edale Train Station along the Hope Valley line, have been re-planted by Edale Station Friends with wonderful blanket bog species. The plants have been funded by Severn Trent as part of the Moor Water project.
Originally installed under the MoorLIFE 2020 project, the planters are joined by interpretation boards which explain which species you can expect to see in the planters and also when out walking in the local area – particularly, in moorland areas such as Kinder. These include both common and hare's tail cotton grass (can you tell the difference?!), crowberry that flowers in late spring and bears a dark black berry in the autumn and cross-leaved heath that has distinctive pink bell-shaped flowers between June and September.
When you visit Edale, perhaps to take hike up to Kinder Scout or Mam Tor, be sure to look out for the planters and see if you can identify which species is which.
If you are heading for the hills, you can also download our handy moorland ID app, Explore Moor. Free to download, the app is a field pocket-guide for the sights and sounds of the moors – including wildlife species, plant species and landscape features. Particularly helpful at this time of year, is being able to match the bird calls featured in the app with those you can hear on the moor. A couple to listen out for is the iconic warble of the curlew, and the unique call of the lapwing which sounds rather uncannily like a dial-up modem.
A huge thank you to Edale Station Friends for planting these moorland species and for continuing to care for them, and to Severn Trent for funding these specialist and wonderful plants under the Moor Water project. Read more about the Moor Water project, which was recently shortlisted for the Edie Awards (Sustainable Business) and for the CIEEM Awards 23 (Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management).

Graceful Tree Conjecture is one of my favorite open problems (See this earlier post). Trees with diameter 4 and 5 are known to be graceful a decade ago.
One of my advisees, Matt Superdock, made progress towards proving that all diameter 6 trees are graceful. Matt is an undergraduate senior in our Mathematics Department. He proved that an interesting class of diameter 6 trees are graceful. His thesis is available here.
I hope his work motivates more researchers to make progress towards resolving Graceful Tree Conjecture, particularly for diameter 6 trees. Matt's work really tests the limit of current techniques. Perhaps we need new techniques/insights to prove that all diameter 6 trees are graceful.
Graceful Tree Conjecture (GTC) is one of my favorite open problems. I posted it on Open Problem Garden couple of years back. I enjoy reading papers related to graceful labeling and try to keep as up-to-date as possible with the progress towards GTC. Here is a brief introduction to GTC.
Graceful Labeling : Label the vertices of a simple undirected graph (where and ) with integers from to. Now label each edge with absolute difference of the labels of its incident vertices. The labeling is said to be graceful if the edges are labeled through inclusive (with no number repeated).
A graph is called graceful if it has at least one such labeling. This labeling was originally introduced in 1967 by Rosa [Rosa'67]. The name graceful labeling was coined later by Golomb. It is easy to see that stars and paths are graceful. Some known graceful graphs are paths, stars, complete bipartite graphs, prism graphs, wheel graphs, caterpillar graphs, olive trees, and symmetrical trees, gear graphs, rectangular grids.
Gracefully labeled graphs have applications in coding theory and communication network addressing. Look at this paper [Basak'04] for an application in MPLS Multicasting. The following conjecture is due to Kotzig, Ringel and Rosa.
Graceful Tree Conjecture (GTC) : All trees are graceful.
Ringel's Conjecture : If is a fixed tree with edges, then complete graph on vertices decomposes into copies of.
Exercise : The existence of a graceful labeling of a given graph G with n edges is a sufficient condition for the existence of a cyclic decomposition of a complete graph of order 2n+1 into subgraphs isomorphic to G. In particular, GTC implies Ringel's conjecture.
A caterpillar graph is a tree such that if all leaves and their incident edges are removed, the remainder of the graph forms a path. Here's a cute exercise. There is an elegant inductive proof.
Exercise : Prove that all caterpillar graphs are graceful.
Open Problems :
- Graceful Tree Conjecture (GTC) is still open. There are couple of papers on arxiv claiming to have settled GTC. I went through the proofs and found some mistakes.
- As an intermediate problem, prove that all lobster graphs are graceful. This is also an open problem. Some special cases of lobsters (eg : lobsters with perfect matching) are proved graceful [Morgan'02].
- Complexity of graceful labeling is open. A related problem called harmonious labeling was shown to be NP-complete.
- Improve approximate factors of relaxed graceful labeling [Bussel'02].

From Press Release:
STOCKHOLM – January 14, 2021 – Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven today announced Prison Architect: Going Green, the next expansion for their prison management simulator, Prison Architect. Going Green expands the management gameplay mechanics and introduces farming, allowing prisoners to grow produce and create a self-sustaining compound. Prison Architect: Going Green will be available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on January 28.
Prison Architect: Going Green offers new means of making an environmentally-friendly prison. Players can farm the land, construct green energy sources, and customize their compound with sustainable materials. Crafty Inmates will seize the opportunity and produce thematic contraband, increasing the challenge to keeping a prison under control.
Going Green Key Features
- Fruits of Labor: Farming introduces a new type of Prison Labor, allowing prisons to grow potatoes, wheat, apples, and more. Produce can be exported or used as ingredients for inmate meals.
- Room to Grow: Three outdoor rooms facilitate farming: Fruit Orchard, Farm Field and Vegetable Allotment. But that's not all, players can recruit staff Farm Workers, build a Pantry to store produce, and construct a Shed to house farming-related items.
- Best Buds: Inmates who enjoy nature's beauty can grow flowers and other plants recreationally. Gardening affects inmates and gives them a positive recreation activity.
- Trouble is Brewing: With new crops comes new contraband. Prisoners can now secretly grow herbs in the fields and swipe kitchen ingredients to brew Booze. Fields can also become Gang Turf, so keep your guards on alert!
- A Greener New Deal: Prisons get an eco-friendly makeover with Solar, Wind, and Solar/Wind Hybrid power sources. Excess power created by these sustainable methods can be sold back to the grid using the Power Export Meter.
Launching alongside Going Green is The Glasshouse, a free content update available to all Prison Architect players. The Glasshouse introduces additional objects, quickrooms, community improvements and two new top-notch employees – K9 units Shepherd and Bowtie Bandit. Wardens can create a more sustainable prison with Recycling Systems and objects like recycling bins or solar lights. Players will also be excited to see the addition of Object Menu Sorting Methods and improvements to the dump and demolition tools, which have been requested by the community and will make menus more intuitive.
"Going Green continues Prison Architect's history of riffing off popular prison fiction seen in movies, TV, and other media. This will be the third Prison Architect expansion we will have launched since Paradox took over the IP in 2019 and we can't wait to see your latest creations," Steacy McIlwham, Product Manager for Prison Architect at Paradox Interactive. "The Glasshouse also kicks off a series of updates we will make to the game's interface, starting with the dump and demolition tools, making it more user-friendly. We understand this is something the community has been asking about for a long time and we want you to know your voice has been heard."

An advanced analytics optimization application for reviewing grant applications developed for funding competitions conducted by a leading Health Research institute
Client: The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is Canada's premier federal agency for health research. CIHR operates with a mission to create scientific awareness, knowledge translation and effective health care products and services for the Canadian healthcare system.
Challenge: CIHR conducts research funding competitions multiple times a year. During the competition, the management of research papers, its assignment to the right reviewers and paper re-assessment was being carried out manually. CIHR needed consultancy services to automate these processes for assistance in getting optimized results with no room for errors. A tool was required to design and build a flexible advanced analytics model for grant application reviewer assignments. SSI performed a detailed analysis of the challenge and proposed a dual-phase mathematical model as a solution for the funding competition delivery process.
Solution: SSI developed an application for the optimization of CIHR's grant application reviewer assignment. The model consisted of two phases:
- The first phase involved the assignment of applications to the right reviewers based on their competency and ability to state conflicts and reviews.
- The second phase involved the re-assignment of these applications to the right individuals for peer-reviews after the reviews (and comments) from the first-phase responses were received.
The following rules were applied to the model to resolve constraints identified before the automation of the whole process.
- English applications have to be reviewed by English reviewers and French applications have to be assigned to reviewers with the ability to review in French.
- Reviewers are excluded based on the defined criteria (for example, reviewers cannot be assigned to their own application)
- Assignments are not granted where the minimum suitability threshold is not met.
- The number of reviewers assigned to each application has to be greater than, equal to, or lesser than the associated minimum or maximum input respectively.
- The number of applications assigned to each reviewer has to be greater than, equal to or lesser than the associated minimum or maximum inputs respectively.
Implementation of these rules did not only resolve the constraints but also helped in managing the whole assignment process more efficiently and effectively.
Result: With the introduction of an application with a scoring model that took into account, multiple limitations and variables allowed CIHR to make its research funding process efficient, accurate and transparent. It allowed the CIHR team to reduce the number of man-hours needed to manage each funding project.

Robots that can mimic the exact brush strokes of master painters or calligraphers could recreate their work, a Japanese researcher said Tuesday.
"We have been able to teach this robot to successfully copy the brush strokes of a master of calligraphy," said Seiichiro Katsura, an associate professor of system design engineering at Keio University.
A perfect copy of a work by long-dead artists such as Monet or Picasso is not possible, as the robot needs a living model to imitate, applying the same pressure and making the same gestures, Katsura said.
But the technology could be used in complex surgery or mechanics.
"In Japan, where the population is quickly ageing, there are fears that valuable skills may not be handed down to younger generations," said Katsura.
The robot was on display at Asia's biggest tech fair—the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) exhibition—which opened on Tuesday at Makuhari, near Tokyo.

Ward 1c - A Heavy Symbolism
A Heavy Symbolism
The Coroner found that Mr Ward 'suffered a terrible death while in custody which was wholly unnecessary and avoidable.' Much of the official record traces this chain of seemingly minor decisions and small preventable acts that led to the death of Mr Ward. Yet, in its totality, this chain of eventualities assumes a destructive inevitability. There is a heavy symbolism attached to the fact of Mr Ward's arrest on Australia Day, the day marking the arrival of the British First Fleet in 1788. Many Aboriginal people refer to this date as Invasion Day or Survival Day, a day of mourning, not celebration.
The case of Mr Ward bears out the continuing effects of colonial invasion and usurped sovereignty with its murderous disregard for Aboriginal life.

Flamingo nXt
easy rendering for Rhino in Windows
Product Materials and Lights
This tutorial shows how to render a Rhino model using nXt. The model includes some images that will be used as decals and a material library.
Support files for this tutorial can be downloaded here...
The tutorial covers:
 - Inserting materials from a library
 - Adding a decal to the rendering
 - Adding a spotlight to the rendering
To begin:
 1. Open the model Rackmount Start.
 2. Renderthe model.
 This model is setup to add materials out of a material library.
 3. To activate the material library press on the Material Tab and the Folderbutton:
 This opens the location of the Material Libraries for NXT. Each material is a separate file in a series of standard directories on your hard-drive. Navigate to the folder called Stereo Materials that you downloaded with the Rhino model.
 Unlike previous versions of Flamingo, once a material is assigned to a model, it is stored within the model. In this model we will assign the materials to separate layers. Do this by Opening the layer control and then dragging the materials to the layer.
 4. Render the model.
 The result should look like this:
To add a decal:
While this is a good start, the face of the rack unit would benefit from decal graphics that mark the controls.
A decal is a way to apply a single bitmap to an object. It can be used to apply labels and images to objects in the scene.
 1. Select the face of the stereo.
 2. On the Properties dialog, change the dropdown to Flamingo nXt Decals.
 3. On the Properties dialog, Flamingo nXt Decals press the Addbutton.
 4. Select the bitmap Label.png.
 5. On the Decal Properties dialog, make sure the Projection is Planar, and then press the Placebutton.
 6. Place the decal by snapping to the Lower Left Endpoint, then the Lower Right Endpoint, and the Upper Left Endpoint on the front of the face, the press Enter.
 This will place the label correctly on the face of the rack unit.
 7. Render the model.
 The result should look like this:
To add a ground plane:
Next step in the tutorial is to add a ground plane for the unit to sit on.
 1. To do this, go to the Environment tab, Ground plane section, check Enabled.
 2. Press the Material button and select Reflective Base for the ground plane material.
 3. Render the model.
 The result should look like this:
To add a spotlight:
A next step might be to add a spotlight on the rack system to vary the lighting a little. The lighting in studio mode is controlled by an HDRI file, but we can also add another spotlight to the rendering.
 1. Insert a Spotlight that highlights the face of the stereo.
 2. Render the model.
 The spotlight draws attention and interest to the front of the unit.
To depth of field:
For small studio objects it is sometimes nice to add depth of field to accentuate the depth of the object.
 1. To do this, go to the Render tab, Depth of field section, check Enabled.
 2. Set the Focal distance by pressing the button, and snap to one of the LED lights. This will set the point in the scene that is in focus. The Strength slider adjusts the focus in front of and behind the focal point.
 3. Render the model.
 Depth of field can take a few passes to resolve. The first few passes might be rough in appearance. The final image should look like this:

The effect of sulfur on biomass gasification gas clean-up over ZrO2, Y2O3–ZrO2 and SiO2–ZrO2 catalysts was examined. Experiments were carried out at the temperature range of 600–900 °C with sulfur free and 100 ppm H2S containing simulated gasification gas feeds. A mixture of toluene and naphthalene was used as a tar model compound. Results revealed that the sulfur addition affected positively on the catalyst properties mainly at 600 and 700 °C: over Y2O3–ZrO2 and ZrO2 sulfur addition improved naphthalene and ammonia conversion. However, over SiO2–ZrO2 no clear effect with H2S addition was observed. The effect of sulfur addition on the catalyst properties was connected to the formation of SO2 from H2S when oxygen was available. The intensity of the sulfur effect increased with the Lewis basicity strength of the catalysts. This indicates that the sulfur adsorption has a role in generating new type of active sites and/or plays role in changing the redox properties of the zirconia. Since the biomass gasification gas contains usually significant amounts of H2S the sulfur tolerance of the zirconia based catalysts is a remarkable benefit.

Flood Zone Descriptions: Zone AH
AH Zones are areas of fairly shallow flooding of less than three feet depth. The flooding source of the AH Zones in Palo Alto is overflow from local creeks. The Base Flood Elevation in these areas is expressed as an elevation above sea level.
The largest AH Zone results from overflow from San Francisquito Creek. FEMA's hydraulic models predict creek overtopping in the vicinity of Middlefield Road and Chaucer Street in the event of a one percent (100-year) flood. The overflow water flows downhill (one of the characteristics of Palo Alto's creeks is that their banks are actually higher than the adjacent land so that creek overflow water flows away from its source) and the Base Flood Elevation levels are shown by surface contour lines on the flood maps; the Base Flood Elevation for individual properties must be determined by interpolation. The creek overflow water is expected to flow towards the Embarcadero Road/Oregon Expressway/Bayshore Freeway interchange, and then over the Oregon Expressway and through the Greer Park area.
Because the Greer Park area is also subject to more severe flooding from the Bay, this area is designated as "Zone AE (El. 10.5)" on the flood maps.
The AH Zone was remapped following the February 1998 flood event. During that event, San Francisquito Creek overtopped its banks at multiple locations between Middlefield Road and the Bay, leading to widespread flooding. The San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and its member agencies (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, East Palo Alto, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and the San Mateo County Flood Control District) are in the process of developing a plan to address the risk of flooding from San Francisquito Creek.

in the types of ui problems you and i care about)
p-himik09:12:36
@U4YGF4NGM How can I change the code below so that "e" is printed more than once on a button press?
(def a (r/atom 1))
(def b (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "b" @a) (inc @a)))
(def c (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "c" @a) (* @a 2)))
(def d (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "d" @c) (inc @c)))
(def e (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "e" @b @d) (+ @b @d)))
(defn app []
 [:div
 [:button {:on-click #(swap! a inc)}
 "inc a"]
 [:span "e: " @e]])
Geoffrey Gaillard10:12:32
If I'm not mistaken, Reagent propagates reactions using a requestAnimationFrame like loop, your example runs in a single RAF frame. Introducing some latency in step d will make it produce a new value on the next frame, triggering e a second time. At the end of the first frame, e will be in an inconsistent state, and will recompute and reconcile on the next frame. Instead, d should be scheduled for the next frame, and therefore e should be too, according to toposort. By latency I mean something synchronous, like blocking the UI thread.
p-himik10:12:33
If it's synchronous, e cannot possibly be recomputed before the delay is d is completed. And by that time, both of the values will be available. In the code above, when the view is re-rendered, e will deref d - it will trigger the delay, and the rendering process will simply wait till the delay is done. The values are not propagated through the reaction graph - only the dirty flag is. The values are then requested and are recomputed. To be absolutely sure, I replaced d with this:
(def d (ratom/reaction (js/console.log "start d" @c)
 (let [start (js/Date.now)]
 (loop [now start]
 (when (< (- now start) 1000)
 (recur (js/Date.now)))))
 (js/console.log "end d" @c)
 (inc @c)))
And it still works in the same exact way, only with a delay of a second, where the whole UI becomes blocked.
Geoffrey Gaillard10:12:01
More precisely, reagent does not have a notion of readiness. So it can't know if a reaction is ready to be recomputed. It just recomputes ASAP, and therefore produces inconsistent states and recomputes until all reactions settles.
Geoffrey Gaillard11:12:03
My example was incorrect, thank you for pointing it out. I'll come back with a running example, probably tomorrow.
Geoffrey Gaillard11:12:23
Ah! In your example, reactions are queued in the same order as they are declared, because the example is minimal. I need to craft an example where they are not queued in the same order as they appear in the AST.
p-himik11:12:27
> It just recomputes ASAP It does that only with reactions created with :auto-run true. Which is by default is not the case.
p-himik11:12:50
I'd really appreciate such an example. So far, three people have said that Reagent can fail and yet nobody has given any MRE for that.
Geoffrey Gaillard12:12:55
I'll produce one and back my claim up ;)
👍 1
lilactown16:12:11
@U2FRKM4TW that example has a glitch after the first change AFAICT
lilactown16:12:24
nvm can't read
😄 1
lilactown23:12:46
so I do remember reproducing some glitches in reagent but I think it was very edge case. for the most part, reagent is pretty good at avoiding glitches
lilactown00:12:45
reagent uses a breadth-first algorithm for recalculating a graph, but since it computes and caches reactions on-demand as well, you end up with a consistent state
lilactown00:12:56
(like p-himik said above)
Geoffrey Gaillard17:12:42
Here is something to talk about:
(def a (r/atom 1))
(def b (r/reaction (prn "b" @a) @a))
(def c (r/reaction (prn "c" @a) @a))
(def d (r/reaction (prn "d" @b @c) (vector @b @c)))
(prn "result:" @d)
Will print:
"b" 1
"c" 1
"d" 1 1
"b" 1
"c" 1
"result:" [1 1]
Now, if you deref d in a component like so:
[:div (pr-str @d)]
b and c will only compute once.
p-himik23:12:53
It is all working as intended, as far as I can tell. Reactions that are used outside of reactive contexts don't cache their values. You can reproduce it with something as simple as:
(def x (r/reaction (js/console.log "x")))
@x
@x
Geoffrey Gaillard01:12:11
Reagent is not pretending to be FRP which is still an open area of research, so yes it is working as originally intended, and it's not a sound reactive model. It is useful, it is handy, easy to learn. I enjoy using it and I make money doing so, but it has an abstraction ceiling. It is not algebraic, no equational reasoning. Caching is a hack. Using = to dedupe reactions is also a hack. The DAG is clearly visible in the code example, yet how I ask for value changes how it is computed. Does asking for the value of a triggers side effects? It depends. If a is a continuous signal, then sampling a twice should never run it twice. Not because it is cached or = to its previous value, but because it is just defined at all point in time. Solving this is crazy hard and out of scope for Reagent, and it's ok. Reagent and its design are not to be blamed at all. What I think is problematic is clojure developers consider reagent is doing the right thing, whatever it means, without questioning the model. It turns out it's a rabbit hole. I did that. Picking this model for a huge SPA was a terrible decision, and I'm not the only one who made that mistake. We should talk about it more as a community, otherwise it gives the impression no one actually care or even worse, that using clojure is manly for toy projects and real world usage is exceptional.
Geoffrey Gaillard01:12:25
I failed to produce a MRE for the diamond glitch in the time I was willing to allocate to it. So I failed to back my claim up. I therefore have to resort to the ad-populum argument (3 people here) and the famous "dude, trust me™" harold
p-himik08:12:32
Alas, I've seen enough clever people making trivial mistakes to doubt unbacked claims. Notice how I myself try to provide code when possible - have been on the other side of similar arguments before. :)
Geoffrey Gaillard08:12:25
The way your argument is greatly appreciated. I failed to produce a code example for the glitch and I'm ok with it. The above code example is enough to show it is not sound.
p-himik08:12:01
Depends on the definition of "sound", but I see what you mean, I think.
lilactown16:12:56
I bet my previous experiments were derefing at least one reaction outside of a reactive context, which was causing a glitch

ZeFamily Legacy of Brioche Pasquier
ZeBot & ZoeBot Have Breakfast at Brioche Pasquier"When someone shares a special family recipe with you, you become part of their family."
That's what my friend Hugues Pasquier told me when we shared a breakfast made with the brioche his family has been baking from the same recipe since 1936.
It was true: as my cousin ZoeBot and I savored each buttery golden bite, we felt the Pasquier family's culinary heritage deep in our stripes.
If you're an average American kid (or zebra), you may not have ever tried brioche. But in France, kids (and a few lucky zebras) have been eating brioche their whole lives.
Brioche (pronounced bree-oshe) is a French bakery specialty that looks and tastes like a magical cross between a bread and a cake.
Brioche by Chardin, 1763
Food historians say that's it been a tradition since medieval times, with the recipe becoming richer with butter and eggs as the centuries passed.
Hugues told us that his grandfather Gabriel Pasquier was legendary for the brioche he crafted at his bakery in the tiny village of Les Cerqueux in France's Loire River Valley.
Gabriel's Bakery
Gabriel's recipe was unique because he always used two very special ingredients.
One was the family's own levain, which is a natural sourdough starter that makes brioche (and other baked goods) rise. A starter works pretty much the same way modern yeast does, but it's an older and more traditional way to leaven baked goods. Continue reading


What is the Best Color for Blue Sapphire? Part 1
September 3rd, 2009 by James L. Sweaney, CGA, FGA. GG
Classic Blue Sapphire
Classic Blue Natural Sapphire
Our clients often ask "What is the best color blue sapphire?" There are two answers– the obvious is that personal preference should dictate your color choice. Every person has unique abilities to perceive color, based on such things as age, health, culture and genetic gifts. Some people prefer light pastel colors, others prefer rich intense colors. The best color for you is the one that pleases, stimulates, or excites you!
The more complicated answer has to do with gem grading and market preferences, the physical characteristics of natural sapphires, the geological sources of sapphire including Ceylon, Burma, Kashmir, Madagascar, Thailand, Australia, and Montana, and the various methods of color enhancement and heat treatment of sapphire. We'll begin by discussing gem grading and market preferences.
Color is a very complicated phenomenon in gemstones, presenting many challenges for gemologists and gem traders. We begin by grading the color of blue sapphires in terms of hue, tone, and intensity– for a thorough discussion of color grading gems, visit the color grading page at our Gallery of Gems.
Hue can be described as the name of a color, and relates to the actual wavelength of the visible light emanating from the gem. Some gem colors are described as two hues– such as green blue, signifying equal parts green and blue, or greenish blue for a color proportionately more blue than green. In grading gem colors, we normally emphasize the dominant hue by capitalizing it. For blue sapphire, the perfect hue would be simply Blue– not greenish Blue or violetish Blue. The hue of the sapphire below would be described as very slightly violetish Blue, while the hue of the second stone shown below and the blue sapphire ring shown at the beginning of this article is Blue.
slightly violetish blue sapphire color
very slightly violetish Blue sapphire color
Blue sapphire color
Tone is the relative position of a color on a 1 to 10 scale of light to dark. 1 being white, 10 being black. Blue sapphires can range from very pale blues that might be graded 2- 3 on the tonal scale to extremely dark blues that are graded 9.

 I would like to get a valuation for some jewelry, 1920′ ex Greta Garbo blue sapphire on gold, a black saphire with dimonds plus several items that are no longer used.
 Can you advise.
 2. Madeline Appelin Says:
 I have a ring purchased by my grandfather from Greta Garbo's auction when she left for America, it was bought by her lover Mauritz Stiller and consists of a Blue sapphire and diamonds.
 Would you be able to inform me of a value and place to sell, as i never use it.
 It is a perfect Sapphire set in red and white gold and is very beautiful.
 Madeliene appelin.
 3. James L. Sweaney, CGA, FGA. GG Says:
 I believe you queried my blog about this ring a while back. You should be able to sell your ring effectively in several ways.
 First, to be able to realize the most money, you will need to get a good current Fair Market Value appraisal from a well qualified appraiser– Contact the Gemmological Assn. of Great Britain for a referral for someone local to you. It should include a good digital photograph, along with weight estimates and measurements for the gems, weight and metal quality, gem grading, especially for the sapphire. Add any written documentation you have showing the Garbo provenance– letter from your grandfather, bill of sale, etc. The Garbo provenance may or may not add value, depending on how strong it is and the quality of the ring.
 Once you have a good idea of value, you can look at the markets available to you.
 The highest value you could get would be to sell to an interested private party. Price would be negotiable, exposure would be based on the effort and expense you put into it. You might be able to negotiate between 50 and 100% of Fair Market Value ( Appraisal)
 Another market would be something like Ebay, but you need to know what you are doing here. It's important to make sure you get paid!
 If the value is over $10.000 US, you might look at an auction house like Christy's or Sotheby's. They do charge a seller's premium, usuallly about 10%.
 An immediate market would be a legitimate respected jeweler who buys estate jewelry. Expect to get about 25 to 50% of Fair Market Value, depending on the ring.

The village was named after H. B. Howard, a hotelier and postmaster. Howards Grove began as two unincorporated communities: Millersville and Howards Grove. They united as one village in 1967. In the year 1846, the first immigrants started to make an appearance and settled in the surrounding wilderness which was named the town of Herman. Sheboygan, which was ten miles from where they had settled, was their main source of supplies. The main occupation of this area since the 1840s has been farming. The farming community had always had a focus on growing oats and wheat but as early as November 29, 1899, the Sheboygan Telegram noted that there had been a change in operation. The focus was changed to dairy farming. Today, farming still rules the community.
Howards Grove is located at(43.829594, -87.823251).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.34 square miles (6.06 km2), of which, 2.31 square miles (5.98 km2) of it is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.
As of 2000 the median income for a household in the village was $59,032, and the median income for a family was $65,243. Males had a median income of $42,444 versus $26,719 for females. The per capita income for the village was $21,913. About 2.1% of families and 2.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.2% of those under age 18 and 12.3% of those age 65 or over.
As of the census of 2010, there were 3,188 people, 1,245 households, and 942 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,380.1 inhabitants per square mile (532.9/km2). There were 1,276 housing units at an average density of 552.4 per square mile (213.3/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 98.3% White, 0.4% African American, 0.1% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.2% from other races, and 0.5% from two or more races.

Student life
We have a great social scene here. There's loads going on in Shtip. We can proudly call Shtip a students city. It offers rich and attractive life for students, well-suited to different tastes and cultural needs of young people.
Apart from the rich nightlife that takes place in a wide selection of coffee bars, discos, small concert events, walks in nature, there are student parties as well, that are organized once or twice a week at different locations.
What is more, there are various cultural activities organized by the University Cultural Centre, which include: film and theater experiences, concerts of students and professors from the Faculty of Music, literature and art workshops and other similar cultural activities.
On annual level, Shtip is well known for several established festivals, famous both in Macedonia and the region. In June, Stip lives in the spirit of the pop music festival Makfest, that exists for 32 years, then the festival dedicated to jazz music called Astibo Jazz Festival held during the spring months, and DNB festival RUN which is held in several editions during the autumn and is genuinely refreshing, especially for the students of Goce Delchev University.
Furthermore, students and young fans of the hip-hop music can enjoy the unique hip-hop experience during the summer months called Shtip Hop Festival.
Finally, all these events make the lives of the students more exciting year by year.
