Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is the purpose of the Driver Eligibility Certificate (DEC)?
A DEC is used to determine if a student is maintaining adequate progress toward graduation and has not been suspended for having an illegal substance on campus or assaulting a staff member.
When are grades checked to measure adequate progress?
- At the end of the first semester and at the end of the school year.
- When measuring adequate progress at the end of a school year:
Schools on a traditional schedule use the end of the year grads
Schools on a block schedule use the semester grades.
What happens to students who leave school to attend a Community College?
- When a student leaves a public school to attend a community college and is NOT making adequate progress at the point of withdrawal the public schools should revoke that student's driving privileges.
-When a student leaves a public school to attend a community college and IS making adequate progress the public school should not revoke that students driving privileges.
Who is responsible for issuing a DEC to a student who lives in North Carolina but attends a boarding school out of state?
- A student who has permanent residency in North Carolina but attends a boarding school out of state shall receive a DEC from the school they would normally attend. That school may ask for the following documentation.
 1. Proof of residency within their district
 2. Transcript/report card showing the latest semester from the school.
 3. A letter on school letterhead stating the student is currently in attendance at that school.
 4. A report card/transcript at the end of each semester until the child graduates - making sure the student understands that they will lose driving privileges if this is not presented at the end of each semester
Can Public schools share their DECs with other schools?
No. North Carolina public schools are not permitted to share Driving Eligibility Certificates with conventional non-public schools operating within North Carolina's geographical borders, home schools, community colleges or even other public schools.
Are public schools allowed to revoke private schools students' license?
No. Conventional non-public or home schools located within the State of North Carolina wishing to have a student driver's license revoked must contact the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education.
Who can public schools issue DECs to?
Only to students who are currently enrolled in that public school. Public schools may not issue a DEC to a student who currently attends or is enrolled in a conventional non-public school within North Carolina, a home school, community college or an out-of-state correspondence or other distance learning program.
How does Dropout Prevention (DOP)/Lose Control Lose License (LCLL), affect minors who are emancipated?
- Emancipated minors are still affected by both the Dropout Prevention and the lose Control Lose Your Licenses Laws.
Is a hardship permanent?
Yes. Hardships should only be granted under extreme circumstances. Once a student has been granted a hardship, however, his/her driver's license should not be revoked again.
Can the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), or the Division of Community Colleges issue DECs or grant hardships?
No. Hardships can be granted only by the chief administrator (or his/her designee) of the North Carolina school in which the student is currently enrolled.
Who is responsible for charges incurred when a license is revoked in error?
- If a school revokes a student's license in error and the student has to have a duplicate license issue the school system is responsible for the duplication fee.
What is the earliest date a student under a LCLL suspension can be issued a DEC?
- A student who is under a Lose Control Lose Your License suspension may only be issued a DEC after at least 6 months has expired from the date the license was suspended, and the student demonstrated exemplary behavior and successfully completed a drug and alcohol counseling program (for those suspend for drugs or alcohol on campus). DMV examiners cannot accept a DEC for a LCLL suspension before the end of the 6-month waiting period.
When should the school send the names of licenses to be revoked to the DMV?
- A school should wait the determined time period to receive any hardship requests after notifying parents of the student's license revocation before sending the names to the DMV.
- It is imperative that schools revoke a student's driving privileges immediately following the 30 day grace period post withdrawal.
- It is also important that once a student drops out of school and their name is sent to the DMV that their name is removed from the list so that it is not inadvertently sent in again to the DMV.
How does summer school affect students who lose their license under DOP?
At the end of the school year (once final grades are posted), non-public schools should send DNPE their license revocation recommendations. At the conclusion of summer school, those students eligible may then receive a DEC from their North Carolina non-public school principal in order to have their license re-instated. Schools should not wait until summer school is over to turn in the names of students not making progress toward high school graduation.
When errors occur...
- If a school places a suspension in error it is important that DPI is contacted and the suspension is deleted. If suspension placed in error are not delete the student may incur increases in their insurance premiums.
-Schools should use extreme caution when entering suspension so, as not to label a student as a Lose Control suspension when it should been under Drop Out Prevention. Each suspension has different guidelines for reinstatement and special attention should be paid when entering this information.

'Dad has gone from Sick to Superman'
Organ donation doesn't simply save lives, in the sense of keeping people (barely) alive, but it allows them to lead much fuller, more normal lives, as this inspiring story of a father swimming from Alcatraz to shore to celebrate five years since his double lung transplant shows. It's a great example of how much of a difference a transplant can make to the recipient's quality of life, but also comes with important reminders about the limits of what transplants can achieve "The current average survival period of a lung recipient in the US and Europe is five years. Statistics say that the current 10-year survival rate of a lung transplant patient is 30%, meaning that only one out of every three patients will celebrate their 10th anniversary". Still, even five more years of healthy life is a considerable achievement, and especially valuable for someone like Gavin Maitland with young children.

The Effect Of Capital Expenditure And Local Revenue On Economic Growth In Cities And Regencies In Bengkulu
The main objective of regional development is to create economic growth and equitable development, including inter-regional distribution of income (PAD). Fast economic growth and low income inequality can be achieved, but both cannot be achieved simultaneously. This study aims to determine the effect of Capital Expenditure and Local Revenue on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu. The samples in this study were 10 local governments at the district/city level in cities and regencies in Bengkulu with a study period from 2015 to 2020. The data collection method used the documentation method. The data analysis used was multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination and hypothesis testing. The results of the regression test obtained the regression equation Y = 254.213 + 0.097X1 + 0.025X2. Capital expenditure (PAD) has a significant influence on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu because a significant value of 0.006 is smaller than 0.05. This means that as PAD increases, economic growth will also increase. Local Revenue does not have a significant effect on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu because the significant value is 0.531, which is less than 0.05. This means that the high or low PAD generated by a region does not really affect economic growth because there is still funding from the center. Based on the results of testing the hypothesis with the F test, the hypothesis made shows that together capital expenditure and regional original income affect economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu. The results of statistical calculations show a significance value of 0.05. The coefficient of determination is 0.162, which means that changes in the independent variables together are able to explain the dependent variable by 16.2%, while the remaining 1% is explained by other factors outside the independent variables used in this research

Quota in Ozone
So far, we know that Ozone allows users to create volumes, buckets, and keys. A Volume usually contains several buckets, and each Bucket also contains a certain number of keys. Obviously, it should allow the user to define quotas (for example, how many buckets can be created under a Volume or how much space can be used by a Bucket), which is a common requirement for storage systems.
Currently supported
 1. Storage Space level quota
Administrators should be able to define how much storage space a Volume or Bucket can use. The following Settings for Storage space quota are currently supported：
a. By default, the quota for volume and bucket is not enabled.
b. When volume quota is enabled, the total quota of the buckets, cannot exceed the volume quota.
c. Bucket quota can be set separately without enabling Volume quota. The size of bucket quota is unrestricted at this point.
d. Volume quota is not currently supported separately, and volume quota takes effect only if bucket quota is set. Because ozone only check the usedBytes of the bucket when we write the key.
e. If the cluster is upgraded from old version less than 1.1.0, use of quota on older volumes and buckets(We can confirm by looking at the info for the volume or bucket, and if the quota value is -2 the volume or bucket is old) is not recommended. Since the old key is not counted to the bucket's usedBytes, the quota setting is inaccurate at this point.
f. If volume's quota is enabled then bucket's quota cannot be cleared.
 1. Namespace quota
Administrators should be able to define how many namespace a Volume or Bucket can use. The following settings for namespace quota are supported:
a. By default, the namespace quota for volume and bucket is not enabled (thus unlimited quota).
b. When volume namespace quota is enabled, the total number of buckets under the volume, cannot exceed the volume namespace quota.
c. When bucket namespace quota is enabled, the total number of keys under the bucket, cannot exceed the bucket namespace quota.
d. Linked buckets do not consume namespace quota.
e. If the cluster is upgraded from old version less than 1.1.0, use of quota on older volumes and buckets(We can confirm by looking at the info for the volume or bucket, and if the quota value is -2 then volume or bucket is old) is not recommended. Since the old key is not counted to the bucket's namespace quota, the quota setting is inaccurate at this point.
Client usage
Storage Space level quota
Storage space level quotas allow the use of units such as KB (k), MB (m), GB (g), TB (t), PB (p), etc. Represents how much storage Spaces will be used.
Volume Storage Space level quota
bin/ozone sh volume create --space-quota 5MB /volume1
This means setting the storage space of Volume1 to 5MB
bin/ozone sh volume setquota --space-quota 10GB /volume1
This behavior changes the quota of Volume1 to 10GB.
Bucket Storage Space level quota
bin/ozone sh bucket create --space-quota 5MB /volume1/bucket1
That means bucket1 allows us to use 5MB of storage.
bin/ozone sh bucket setquota --space-quota 10GB /volume1/bucket1
This behavior changes the quota for Bucket1 to 10GB
Total bucket quota should not be greater than its Volume quota. If we have a 10MB Volume, The sum of the sizes of all buckets under this volume cannot exceed 10MB, otherwise the bucket set quota fails.
Clear the quota for volume and bucket
bin/ozone sh volume clrquota --space-quota /volume1
bin/ozone sh bucket clrquota --space-quota /volume1/bucket1
Check quota and usedBytes for volume and bucket
bin/ozone sh volume info /volume1
bin/ozone sh bucket info /volume1/bucket1
We can get the quota value and usedBytes in the info of volume and bucket.
Namespace quota
Namespace quota is a number that represents how many unique names can be used. This number cannot be greater than LONG.MAX_VALUE in Java.
Volume Namespace quota
bin/ozone sh volume create --namespace-quota 100 /volume1
This means setting the namespace quota of Volume1 to 100.
bin/ozone sh volume setquota --namespace-quota 1000 /volume1
This behavior changes the namespace quota of Volume1 to 1000.
Bucket Namespace quota
bin/ozone sh bucket create --namespace-quota 100 /volume1/bucket1
That means bucket1 allows us to use 100 of namespace.
bin/ozone sh bucket setquota --namespace-quota 1000 /volume1/bucket1
This behavior changes the quota for Bucket1 to 1000.
Clear the quota for volume and bucket
bin/ozone sh volume clrquota --namespace-quota /volume1
bin/ozone sh bucket clrquota --namespace-quota /volume1/bucket1
Check quota and usedNamespace for volume and bucket
bin/ozone sh volume info /volume1
bin/ozone sh bucket info /volume1/bucket1
We can get the quota value and usedNamespace in the info of volume and bucket.

Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript

# Table of Contents
 1. Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript
 2. Remove an Element from the DOM on Click using JavaScript
# Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript
To remove a DOM element by id:
 1. Select the DOM element using the document.getElementById() method.
 2. Call the remove() on the element, e.g. element.remove().
 3. The remove() method removes the element from the DOM.
Here is the HTML for the examples.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>bobbyhadz.com</title>
Box 1

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('box'); element.remove();
remove dom element by id using javascript
We used the document.getElementById to select an element by its id.
The getElementById() method returns an Element whose id matches the provided string.
If there is no element with the specified id in the DOM, the method returns null.
You can use the optional chaining (?.) operator to avoid getting an error if the element doesn't exist.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('box'); element?.remove();
If the element variable stores a null or an undefined value, the optional chaining operator short-circuits instead of calling the remove() method.
The last step is to use the Element.remove() method to remove the element from the DOM.
Note that removing an element also removes its children.
# Remove a DOM element by ID without removing its children
If you need to remove the element without removing its children, use this approach instead.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>bobbyhadz.com</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" />
 Child 1 Child 2

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('parent'); element.replaceWith(...element.childNodes);
remove dom element by id without removing its children
To remove an element without removing its children, we basically replace the element with its children.
The code in the example only removes the div element with id of parent, without removing the span elements located inside of the div.
If you need to handle the scenario where the element doesn't exist, use the optional chaining operator (?.).
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('parent'); element?.replaceWith(...element.childNodes);
# Remove an Element from the DOM on Click using JavaScript
To remove an element from the DOM on click:
 1. Select the DOM element.
 2. Add a click event listener to the element.
 3. Call the remove() method on the element in the event handler.
Here is the HTML for the examples.
index.html
<!doctype html>   <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>bobbyhadz.com</title>
 Box 1

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { box.remove(); });
remove element from the dom on click
We added a click event listener to the DOM element.
Each time the element is clicked, a function is invoked.
In our handler function, we used the Element.remove method to remove the element from the DOM.
# Removing an element from the DOM on click using target
We could have also used the target property on the event object to achieve the same result.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { event.target.remove(); });
remove element from dom on click using event target
We used the target property on the event object.
The target property is a reference to the object (element) on which the event was dispatched.
In other words event.target gives us access to the DOM element the user clicked.
You can console.log the target property to see the DOM element which was clicked by the user.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { console.log(event.target); event.target.remove(); });
If you click on the div element and look at your browser's console, you'll see the element being logged.
The target property is very useful when adding events to more generic objects, e.g. the document.
# Remove the clicked element regardless of which one it is
Here is an example that removes the clicked DOM element, regardless of which element it is.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>bobbyhadz.com</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" />
 Box 1

 Box 2

 Box 3

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
document.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { console.log(event.target); event.target.remove(); });
remove clicked element regardless of which one it is
This time we added the event to the document object.
Each time an element is clicked, we remove it from the DOM, regardless of which element it was.
I've also written an article on how to hide elements by class in JS.

There is a reason it's more expensive than gold.
"Bulgarian Rose Oil is one of the most precious essential oils in the world due to its unique rich chemical composition and deep multi-layered fragrance," says Kuen Rameson, founder of Gloss Moderne, the Southern California-based clean luxury beauty brand.
While researching essential oils, Rameson came across Bulgarian Rose Oil and "fell in love with the sensorial experience." She was so impressed with its fragrance and skincare benefits that she decided to work on an entire line of beauty products formulated with it slated to launch this September.
Gloss Moderne is only one of many luxury companies such as Elizabeth Arden, Channel, Bulgari, Estée Lauder, and Christian Dior that infuse their products with what is known as "the queen of essential oils." So how did this thorny shrub make its way from the fields of a small Balkan country to our beauty drawers?
Legend has it that during one of the last Crusades, French knights who were passing through the Balkan Peninsula on their way from Syria, brought with them the fragrant Damask rose (or Rosa Damascena). Thanks to the mild climate—warmer winters and cooler summers— and sandy soils of the Kazanlak region in Bulgaria—now known as "the Rose Valley"— this oil-bearing plant found a perfect home there. Historic documents show that the local population started cultivating and distilling Rosa Damascena in the 17th century while Bulgaria was still under Ottoman rule.
"During this period, the lands with the most fertile soils were usually given to the Ottomans to grow crops such as wheat, corn, and barley, so Bulgarians had to get creative, and they started cultivating this plant [the Damask Rose] in the sandy, unfruitful soils," explained Radoslav Petkov, the deputy director of the Rose Museum in Kazanlak.
Fast forward four centuries later, and the small Balkan country that is roughly the same size as New York State and has a population of seven million, is now the largest producer of Rosa Damascena oil in the world.
Bulgarian Rose Oil also commands the highest prices on the market. In 2019, a kilogram or about 35 ounces of rose oil was worth between $8,200 and $9,400, which made it more expensive than gold. The reason for that is its quality, a lot of which is due to the way it is harvested and distilled, as well as the sheer amount of rose blooms needed for the production of oil—a kilogram requires about three tones of rose blooms.
In many ways, the way rose oil is extracted hasn't really changed in centuries. The blooms are still harvested exclusively by hand very early in the morning—from 5 am until no later than 9 AM or 10 AM.
"To get the most in terms of quantity and quality out of the blossoms, they have to be picked while the morning dew is still covering their petals. Once the sun rises and the rose blooms open up, the dew evaporates in the atmosphere, and with it goes some of the oil," adds Petkov.
For maximum results, distillation also has to occur as soon as the roses are harvested and several products result from it: rose water—widely used in the cosmetics as well as the food industries; rose concrete—orange wax-like material with a fragrant rose smell; rose absolute—extracted from rose concrete using a solvent; and rose oil—the most precious of all four that has over 280 compounds impossible to replicate artificially. All of these four byproducts are then used in fragrances, skincare, and aromatherapy products.
"I find that Bulgarian rose has a more refined lychee top note for the essential oil, even a touch dewier," said Christophe Laudamiel, the Master Perfumer of DreamAir creative studios in New York City. "For the absolute extract, it has a background that is more apricot, almost passion fruit on top and less woody or less fermented I shall say, than some other roses. A rose absolute gives a richness and opulence without being sweet nor cloying, without invading the fragrance, unless you really want to invade the fragrance with large proportions which can be sexy, too."
And while synthetic compounds are extremely popular in perfume-making nowadays, the smell of a natural ingredient such as Bulgarian Rose Oil is always preferred by perfumers.
"When you create a perfume, you want to tell a story. Usually, you add it [Bulgarian Rose Oil] because you want to do a floral perfume, like a rose perfume […] So when you do this composition, you would have some rose-like elements [already in it] but adding natural perfume, it just gives another dimension and also quality," says Nathalie Feisthauer, a Paris-based Master Perfumer. She explains that because of its high price, it's not always possible to use a lot of Bulgarian Rose Oil in commercial fragrances.
Similar to its diverse olfactory qualities, its skincare benefits are equally impressive. The Rosa Damascena essential oil has natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It is known to help soothe red or irritated skin and is appropriate to use on sensitive skin. In some anti-aging products, it is used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ex Ante Evaluation
Before the programme there was…
Before programmes are designed, before money is provided to beneficiaries, before EU Rural Development begins to have impacts on the lives of EU citizens, what comes before all of this?
The ex ante evaluation!
The ex ante evaluation is the inventory check and reflection on past experiences before setting out on your new journey. While just winging it may work for a short road trip, careful preparation must be ensured for climbing a large mountain. EU rural development programmes, like climbing a mountain require a team of individuals and stakeholders working together. Careful preparation and planning so that all members involved can achieve their greatest impact and make it to the top of the mountain is essential.
The ex ante evaluation is the roadmap to the top of the mountain through reflecting on past experiences, checking inventories and trying to manage any potential future risks the programme might encounter along the way.
The role of the ex ante evaluation
Programming of the CAP Strategic Plans is a complex exercise, that requires one to consider and to link various aspects. To improve the quality of the design of the CAP Strategic Plan it is essential to carry out the ex ante evaluation. The ex ante evaluation should be carried out by functionally independent experts in close cooperation with the authority responsible for the drafting of the CAP Strategic Plan. The CAP Strategic Plan should serve to contribute to better targeted support through the CAP and to support a common learning process related to monitoring and evaluation. At the same time, the ex ante evaluation is a key element of the performance framework, as it establishes the base for effective monitoring and evaluation during the implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan in 2021-2027.
The ex ante evaluation is strongly linked to the programming of the CAP Strategic Plan and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). This interlinkage can be organised in various possible ways (e.g. by providing a joint ex ante and SEA feedback in an iterative exchange with the programming authority or by providing input to draft CAP Strategic Plan documents at defined stages). One of the lessons learned from previous experiences of carrying out the ex ante evaluation was to organise it in an ongoing process between evaluators and Managing Authorities. This type of iterative process helps evaluators to be well aware that several updates of the SWOT, intervention strategy and other CAP Strategic Plan elements may become available or are even triggered through the ex ante evaluation and can be considered as part of the ongoing ex ante appraisal. In each case, it is essential that the ex ante evaluation provide an independent and informed view into the preparation of the CAP Strategic Plan.
The ex ante evaluation as an interactive and participatory process
Experience has shown that a participatory ex ante evaluation process increases the ownership and the acceptance of the results by relevant stakeholders and helps to improve evaluation capacities. This can be realised through the integration of expertise and views of all relevant stakeholders, ensuring interaction and mutual learning at all stages of the ex ante evaluation and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
Understanding who is doing what during the process of the ex ante and SEA
The roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the ex ante evaluation and SEA process should be clearly defined and discussed. All parties should be aware of their roles and responsibilities from the beginning of the process.
Figure 1: Stakeholder checklist - roles and responsibilities
It is essential to plan the involvement of stakeholders, including the phase/stage at which their involvement is required, the nature of their involvement (engagement), how they get involved (engagement methods) and the frequency of their contribution(s).
A robust ex ante evaluation is the foundation of the successful design and implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan and key to reaching the top of the mountain!

Brinstone is a particularly hard form of stone with above solid density found on numerous worlds, including but certainly not limited to Tallon IV, Aether/Dark Aether and Bryyo. Since its compact atomic structure makes it strong, it is used as a reliable building material in constructing foundations but rarely on war-torn worlds due to its relative fragility to even the smallest of concussive blasts.
A common way to shatter Brinstone obstacles is to fire a missile, which is the only way known to famous space hunter Samus Aran could figure to move through the obstacles during several missions where she encountered the substance, considering her current weapons complement at those times.

Mystery Bridge Nr. 29 Roof truss in a park complex
Photo taken in August 2011
This next mystery bridge article takes us back to Iowa againthis time to a park complex west of Iowa City. There are some unique features that make the F.W. Kent Park in Tiffin special to the region. One of them is the number of historic bridges that were brought here and preserved. They all span various tributaries, lining up along the lake they empty into, the same lake that was created and is used for fishing and swimming. Each span has a different bridge type and a history of its own, including how it was moved here and preserved.
Like the one in the picture above. This bridge is touted as a roof-top truss bridge. Located at the very north tip of the lake, this bridge is different from all the other bridges, for it was homemade, originating from the trusses that were salvaged from an important building that was demolished in Iowa City prior to the creation of the park. It's markings are similar to a series of bowstring arch bridges that were built in Crawford County, Iowa in 1945-6 including the Nishnabotna River crossing near Manila as seen below.

The difference is the fact that the Manila Bridge is the actual truss bridge itself with the lower chord (featuring lateral and diagonal bracing) supporting the roadway, whereas the the one at F.W. Kent Park features the trusses, used as decoration (or at least it appears to be used as that) and tacked onto the actual beam bridge itself. Furthermore, there are alternating vertical beams in the Tiffin Bridge, while the Manila Bridge has all verticals subdividing the rhombus, thus having an X-frame for each panel.
Despite the difference between the two, the roof-top truss bridge's uniqueness is one of the reasons why it is a sin to not visit the park if you are a pontist driving through. It is even a bigger sin if one doesn't know about its history, let alone how the park came into being in the first place. Henceforth, before explaining about the park further, the Chronicles has created a short quiz for you to answer, integrating this mystery bridge in with the questions pertaining to the park itself. So without further ado, here are the questions, created in a hybrid fashion:
1. The FW Kent Park is younger than the Historic Bridge Park near Kalmazoo, Michigan. True or False?
2. Which of the following truss bridge types can NOT be found at FW Kent Park?
a. Pratt b. Warren c. Whipple d. Queenpost
3. The origin of the Rooftop truss bridge was a building that was demolished in Iowa City. Can you name the building and when it existed?
4. How many bridges can be found at FW Kent Park?
a. 8 b. 10 c. 11 d. 13 e. 15
5. At least one bridge was airlifted to the Park. True or False?
6. All of the bridges brought in were the ones that served traffic in Johnson County. True or False?
7. How was the Rooftop truss bridge assembled?
8. What activities can you do at the park, apart from photographing bridges?
a. swimming b. hiking c. fishing d. biking e. all of the above
The answers will be revealed next week at this time. They will be eye-openers for there are some facts that were claimed to be correct, but the truth begs to differ. Plus there will be some interesting facts about who created the park and how the rooftop truss bridge was built. So stay tuned, take some guesses and allow yourself to learn some new things about historic bridges and how they found a new home in FW Kent Park. Good luck with the quiz! :-)

Scrubbing Sensitive Data
As with any third-party service it's important to understand what data is being sent to Sentry, and where relevant ensure sensitive data either never reaches the Sentry servers, or at the very least it doesn't get stored.
These are some great examples for data scrubbing that every company should think about:
 - PII (Personally Identifiable Information) such as a user's name or email address, which post-GDPR should be on every company's mind.
 - Authentication credentials, like your AWS password or key.
 - Confidential IP (Intellectual Property), such as your favorite color, or your upcoming plans for world domination.
We offer the following options depending on your legal and operational needs:
 - filtering or scrubbing sensitive data within the SDK, so that data is not sent to Sentry. Different SDKs have different capabilities, and configuration changes require a redeployment of your application.
 - configuring server-side scrubbing to ensure Sentry does not store data. Configuration changes are done in the Sentry UI and apply immediately for new events.
 - running a local Relay on your own server between the SDK and Sentry, so that data is not sent to Sentry while configuration can still be applied without deploying.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Our newer SDKs do not purposefully send PII to stay on the safe side. This behavior is controlled by an option called send-default-pii.
Turning this option on is required for certain features in Sentry to work, but also means you will need to be even more careful about what data is being sent to Sentry (using the options below).
If you do not wish to use the default PII behavior, you can also choose to identify users in a more controlled manner, using our user identity context.
Scrubbing Data
SDKs provide a before-send hook, which is invoked before an event is sent and can be used to modify event data to remove sensitive information. Using before-send in the SDKs to scrub any data before it is sent is the recommended scrubbing approach, so sensitive data never leaves the local environment.
In Python a function can be used to modify the event or return a completely new one. If you return None, the event will be discarded.
import sentry_sdk
def strip_sensitive_data(event, hint):
 # modify event here
 return event
There's a few areas you should consider that sensitive data may appear:
 - Stack-locals → some SDKs (Python + PHP), will pick up variable values within the stacktrace. This can be scrubbed or disabled altogether, if necessary
 - Breadcrumbs → some SDKs (for example, JavaScript, Java logging integrations) will pick up previously executed log statements. Do not log PII if using this feature and including log statements as breadcrumbs in the event. Some backend SDKs will surface DB queries which may need to be scrubbed
 - User context → automated behavior is controlled via send-default-pii
 - HTTP context → query strings may be picked up in some frameworks as part of the HTTP request context
For more details, see Filtering Events.
Contextual information
Instead of sending confidential information in plaintext, considering hashing it:
Sentry.setTag("birthday", checksumOrHash("08/12/1990"));
This will allow you to correlate it within internal systems if needed, but keep it confidential from Sentry.
User details
Your organization may determine that emails are not considered confidential, but if they are, consider instead sending your internal identifier:
Sentry.setUser({ id: });
// or
Sentry.setUser({ username: user.username });
Doing this will ensure you still benefit from user-impact related features.
Logging integrations
As a best practice you should always avoid logging confidential information. If you have legacy systems you need to work around, consider the following:
 - Anonymize the confidential information within the log statements (for example, swap out email addresses -> for internal identifiers)
 - Use beforeBreadcrumb to filter it out from breadcrumbs before it is attached
 - Disable logging breadcrumb integration (for example, as described here)

Prince of Wales Hotel National Historic Site
The Prince of Wales Hotel National Historic Site © Parks Canada
Built in 1926-27 during one of Waterton's windiest and snowiest winters, the Prince of Wales Hotel is the park's most recognized landmark.
During its construction the extreme weather conditions and poor access created many problems for contractors Douglas Oland and James Scott, from Cardston, Alberta.
On December 10, 1926 hurricane-force winds (estimated at 145 km/hr) blew each of the hotel's wings about 7.5 cm off their foundation. The men managed to winch the sections back in line. Three months later winds reached speeds of over 129 km/hr, again pushing the building off its foundation. This time Oland feared structural damage if they tried to pull back the now fully-framed building so he decided to leave it slightly out of plumb.
The hotel is named after Edward, Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VIII, and, like its namesake, it has a colourful history. If its Douglas fir pillars could talk they would tell you a tale of American imagination and money, built with Canadian grit and patience.
A Railway Hotel
Today many people recognize the Prince of Wales as a railway hotel, but few realize it was built by the Great Northern of United States and not the Canadian Pacific.
The last in a chain of 1920s luxury hotels, backcountry chalets and tent camps, the Prince of Wales offered a final stop for affluent visitors travelling Glacier National Park's backcountry by horseback.
For just over $1,000 you could ride the train to either East or West Glacier and then enjoy a week's adventure in the wilderness via several routes created by the Great Northern. After 1927, many folks chose to go to Goat Haunt's backcountry ranger station and hop aboard the M.V. International to come to Waterton. After a stay at the Prince of Wales hotel, guests were bussed back to Montana to catch their train home.
The Second World War and the 1930s depression put an end to this mode of travel through Glacier and into Waterton but many of the hotels and two of the chalets remain.
A National Historic Site
In February 1993 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board approved the Prince of Wales' designation as a National Historic Site, recognizing its architectural style (rustic design tradition, with peaked roofs, gables, balconies and timber-frame interior that give it an appearance of a giant alpine chalet) and its contribution to tourism in the mountains. On July 23, 1995 a commemorative plaque ceremony was held at the hotel.

Galangin is one of several naturally-occuring flavonols, which is a member of flavonoid family. It is important constituents of normal human diet and also has various pharmacological properties. However, in vivo toxicity test of galangin have not been studied. Thus, the purpose of this research was to investigate the toxicity of galangin alone and in combination with ceftazidime antibiotic in vivo. The mice were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) with galangin alone at 10 and 20 mg/kg BW/day (group1 and group 2 respectively), galangin in combination with ceftazidime at 10 mg/kg BW/day galangin plus 160 mg/kg BW/day ceftazidime (group3), and 20 mg/kg BW/day galangin plus 320 mg/kg BW/day ceftazidime (group4), twice daily for 14 days. At the end of the experiments, blood and the selected main organs were collected for haematological and histological analysis. There was no significant difference in either the growth rate of total body weight or the relative weight of the selected main body organs of mice treated with all doses of galangin alone or in combination with ceftazidime, when compared with the control. The histology of all the liver, spleen, heart, kidney and stomach exhibited a normal appearance in comparison with the control. The blood chemistry marker assayed showed no significant difference (p<0.05) in all treated groups except for the decrease in haematocrit level which were significantly difference (p<0.05) in all treated groups.

A MENTAL health expert and representative of LifeLine International Continental, Prof Taiwo Lateef Sheikh, has called for renewed approach towards tackling the challenge of suicide in Nigeria and africa as a whole.
Sheikh, who spoke as Nigeria joined the rest of the world to mark the 2023 World Suicide Prevention Day, said,"There is no one-size-fits-all solution to this challenge. In Africa, attitudes towards suicide are deeply intertwined with cultural, traditional, and religious beliefs. We need to change these perceptions, address myths, and provide support to those in need. Our approach must align with our cultural values to create lasting impact.
"We support the establishment of frameworks for suicide prevention and evidence-based suicide prevention interventions within communities in partnership with local players, and campaign to change the law in countries where suicide remains a crime, and wherever other laws restrict access to life-saving help."
He observed that suicide remains a significant issue across the African continent, which is home to six of the 10 countries with the highest suicide rates in the world, but said with access to timely and available crisis support services,lives can be saved.
"As we mark World Suicide Prevention Day in 2023, under the theme "Creating hope through action", we believe that by talking about suicide, and by providing better access to evidence-based interventions, we have the power to change the misconceptions and beliefs about suicide, and prevent this tragic loss of life across Africa."
Sheikh said across Africa, insufficient public spending on mental health and suicide prevention is a major barrier for providing assistance, noting that the role of frontline organisations such as LifeLine International's Members is doubly important.
He regretted that mental health, including the risk of suicide, affects millions of people across Africa even as stigma and cultural misconceptions often compound these issues.
"Effective suicide prevention can only take place through a whole-of-society approach that involves the government, CSOs, and community leaders. Tackling suicide and creating environments where individuals feel supported – and comfortable enough to seek help – requires reshaping attitudes.
He called for commitment d to advocating for and supporting policy change, including in the most challenging environments where suicide remains a crime. Criminalisation is counterproductive, reinforcing stigma and creating barriers for individuals seeking help. It is an unnecessary measure that does not deter suicide.
According to the World Health Organisation, WHO, suicide is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional and economic consequences.
"Creating Hope Through Action" is the triennial theme for the World Suicide Prevention Day from 2021-2023. The theme serves as a powerful call to action and reminder that there is an alternative to suicide and that through our actions we can encourage hope and strengthen prevention.

Estimation of pollutant fluxes through river systems calls for accurate and precise load estimation. However, considerable uncertainty is associated with these estimates due to diffuse loading, which sets high requirements not only on sampling frequencies but also on calculation methods. The aim was to examine the variation in load calculations and the reliability of the load estimates of total phosphorus, total nitrogen and suspended solids in 24 Baltic rivers varying in size and land-use characteristics. Reliability of the load estimates was tested by simulation experiments in the river Paimionjoki using a Monte Carlo procedure.
The estimates calculated by the most reliable method were compared to the loads estimated by five other methods. The general reliability (RMSE) for P and SS was best by the correlation method and for N by the periodic method. Load calculations varied greatly depending both on the characteristics of the rivers and the calculation method. The flow-stratified method overestimated the P and SS loads by about 20% in large low-lake rivers. In small low-lake rivers, the overestimation was 10% and over 14% for P and SS, respectively. By contrast, the averaging method underestimated P and SS loads by 10% and 21% in small agricultural low-lake rivers. All the methods produced rather similar results for N in each of the river types.

ABSTRACT: The study was designed to find out factors that influence use/non-use of pedestrian bridges. The use rate of five pedestrian bridges was observed in the central business district (CBD) of Ankara. After the observations, a survey was conducted among pedestrians using those bridges and crossing contrary to safe practice under them at street level (n=408). In the present data, the use rate of pedestrian bridges varied from 6 to 63%. The frequent use of the bridge when crossing the road concerned, and seeing bridge use as time saving and safe in general were positively related to respondents' bridge use. Frequent visits to CBD decreased the likelihood of using the bridge. Other factors accounted only for a small proportion of variance in bridge use. The study suggests that bridge use or non-use is a habit and not coincidental behaviour. For increasing the pedestrians' bridge use, escalators seem to be a good solution, but traffic signals under a bridge may deteriorate the use rate. In addition, increasing the number of legs leading to the bridge may not increase the use rate. The use rate is likely to improve, if the safety benefits and convenience of using the bridge without considerable time loss are clearly visible to pedestrians.

Read My Meter
Your PSNC Energy gas meter measures the amount of natural gas you use each month. Though they vary in size and shape, gas meters record usage by tracking the filling and emptying of the compartments inside the meter.
If you would like to track your usage over time, you can record your readings using our meter reading tracking table (PDF,14KB). But first, it will be helpful to understand how to read your meter. Doing so is easy. Just follow the steps below.
How to Read a Meter
The dials that record the amount of gas used are grouped together in a row of four or five on your gas meter. Each represents a single number in the reading. Here's how to read the meter dials on the meter at your home:
 1. Read the meter dials right to left, writing down the numbers in the same order (right to left).
 2. If the hand points between two numbers, use the lower number. When it points between 9 and 0, always read it as 9.
 3. When a dial pointer appears to be exactly on a number, look back at the dial to the right. If the pointer on that dial has not passed zero, the reading on the dial in question is the lower number.
Reading a Sample Meter
Sample meter
 - Dial A - The hand is in between the 9 and the 0, when the hand is in between two numbers, use the lower number. Dial A's number is 9. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial B - The hand is between the 2 and the 3, so this dial should be read as 2. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
 - Dial C - The hand is between the 4 and the 5, so this dial should be read as 4. (this dial goes clockwise.)
 - Dial D - The hand is between the 5 and the 6, so this dial should be read as 5. (this dial goes counterclockwise.)
The correct reading for the sample meter is 5429. This means 5429 hundred cubic feet (CCF) of gas or 542,900 cubic feet.
Is Your Meter Accessible?
Even with Automated Meter Reading technology, PSNC Energy field representatives on occasion will need to manually read your gas meter. To provide the best service, make sure we can reach and read your meter.
 - Keep shrubs trimmed; don't block the meter.
 - Secure your animals if you know there is an appointment scheduled for PSNC Energy to visit your meter.
 - Unlock gates that allow meter access.
 - Never tamper with the meter or paint over the read dials
 - Do not chain or electrically ground anything to the meter.

BSA calculator
Main page Strat Intro Why Units Metric
Standard Doses BSA Total BSA cal Formulas
Hurldles Difficult Calculators Final Other Exchange
How is BSA calculated?
 In oncology practice doses of chemotherapy drugs are usually expressed as mgs per M2of the body surface area (BSA). This is much more accurate and tailored to each patient compared to dosing on the basis of weight alone which is used in most other specialties of medicine. This means that the dose of that drug is so much of mgs per M2of the body surface area of the patient. The total dose of the chemotherapy is calculated by multiplying the dose of the chemotherapy drug with the BSA. To make it clearer, let me discuss one example. A commonly used dose of Doxorubicin used in the treatment of breast cancer is 60mg/ M2. If your weight is 80 kilograms and your height is 156 centimeters, your BSA would be 1.8 M2. The suggested dose of doxorubicin dose is 60mg/ M2and this means dose is 60 mg for every 1 M2 of your BSA. To calculate your actual dose of doxorubicin you will multiply the 60mg with your BSA. The result is as follows. Total doxorubicin dose is 60mg x 1.8M2 = 108 mg. Once you understand this basic concept everything is very simple, dont you agree with me?
 Now you know how to calculate the total dose of a chemotherapy drug, if you BSA and the dose of the chemotherapy drug. You may be wondering how in the world, I would be calculating the BSA. Let me reassure you that BSA can be calculated if you know the height and weight of a person the BSA can be easily calculated using a specialized formula. Now I am going to give the formula for calculation of BSA, but word of caution before I do this. Dont panic! Dont panic looking at this complex formula. I can promise you that once you finish with this article you will be able to calculate your BSA and total dose of chemotherapy very easily, regardless of your knowledge in mathematics. Please have patience and hang on till we finish this article.

Ruby Question
Is it possible to embed a Ruby code into batch-file?
Usually this is useful for "self-calling" scripts like in this notorious example
The good script with embedded code should not use ugly escape sequences , no temp files and redundant output.
Is it possible to be done with Ruby?
Answer
Yes with some hacks.Here's an example ( file should be with .bat extension ):
@break #^
=begin
@echo off
echo BATCH: Hello world!
ruby "%~f0" %*
exit /b 0
=end
puts 'RUBY: Hello world!'
Output will be:
BATCH: Hello world!
RUBY: Hello world!
Here's the explanation.
For Ruby @break #^ will declare an instance variable break and will end the line with a comment.On the next line it will start a multi line comment where the batch code will be placed.
Cmd.exe on the other hand will execute silently the break command (because if the @ symbol) and because break command do nothing (it is and old dos command left only for backward compatibility) it will have no effect.The ending carret (it escapes the special symbols in batch) will escape the new line and first two lines will be taken for one. After the batch part is done we can close the Ruby comment and put the code.
Here can be seen few more examples of embedded code in batch (Python,PHP and so on).

How to Tell If a Ceiling Fan Is Broken
John Smith
Like any appliance, ceiling fans wear out and eventually have to be replaced. When a ceiling fan is broken, it means it does not operate correctly. Some ceiling fans become broken beyond repair and need to be replaced. This particularly applies to fans with burned-out motors. Other ceiling fans can be fixed if only part of the fan is broken. A broken fan can be a safety (or fire) hazard. Look (or listen) for some obvious signs that a fan is broken.
 1. Check for electrical problems if the ceiling fan does not turn or does not make any noise at all. If it's not an electrical problem, the fan almost certainly has to be replaced,
 2. Notice if the fan produces a burning smell. A fan that smells may very well have a motor and ball bearings that are permanently damaged.
 3. Look to see if the blades turn normally. Blades that turn very slowly, or take longer than usual to begin to spin, are signs the motor and the fan are probably broken beyond repair.
 4. Listen for clicking or scraping noises. The source of the noises can be the result of many things, including a broken (or bent) blade. A blade that is warped can also create a noise and cause the fan to shake badly.
 5. Look to see if the fan has a severe wobble or shake. Some of these problems can be corrected by balancing the blades, but they can also indicate part of the fan is broken.
 6. Listen for a humming noise. A humming noise will often go away on its own, or could indicate a problem with the fan's motor.
 7. Know that some ceiling fans are "lemons'' like any other appliances. Fans can be broken in transit and simply need to be replaced.

Responsibilities of a Nursing Assistant for a Diabetic Patient
Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Nursing assistants work under the supervision of registered nurses and are often the person who is most involved in the day-to-day care of the patient. A nursing assistant may have contact with the diabetic patient in a clinic, in the community, or in a hospital. Much of his role involves monitoring the patient's condition, and helping her to manage it as effectively as possible. The nursing assistant can play a crucial part in helping the person with diabetes to maximize her quality of life.
The nursing assistant together with the RN helps educate and inform the patient about effective diet management. Diet, particularly carbohydrate control, is central to diabetes. Many diabetic patients struggle with this aspect of their condition. Some patients may instinctively reject some of this advice. The nursing assistant can often form a trusting relationship with the patient, where such issues can be discussed in a constructive way.
The nursing assistant monitors all aspects of the diabetic patient's care. She may carry out routine urinalysis, record the results, and immediately report any abnormailitie. The nursing assistant often carries out blood glucose monitoring and reports and records the results. Any changes in the patient's level of consciousness, or behavior will also be noted and reported by the care assistant. Some nursing assistants are trained to assist with insulin pump therapy.
The nursing assistant should be trained to recognize complications and to act immediately, informing the nurse in charge or the physician. The obvious acute complications occur when there is an imbalance between the glucose and insulin levels. Good care can help the patient avoid some of these complication. The nursing assistant should help the patient with hygiene needs, ensuring that he regularly attends the podiatry clinic and has regular eye tests.


Beware the fury of a patient man
This page is about the saying "Beware the fury of a patient man".
Possible interpretation: The implication is that the anger of people who are normally slow to anger is, when it eventually comes, terrible.
Note: beware (verb) = be careful about; be cautious; be aware of the dangers | fury (noun) = violent anger | patient (adj.) = able to wait without getting angry | Compare: "Patience provoked turns to fury."
Origin: Quotation from Publilius Syrus, a Latin writer of maxims in the 1st century BC. In the 17th century, British poet and dramatist John Dryden used it in "Absalom and Achitophel", generally considered to be the greatest political poem in the English language:
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.

icipe MLN research recognised
9 – 13 May 2016, Praque, Czech Republic – icipe's research on the use of satellite data to map the severity of maize lethal necrosis (MLN) in Kenya earned significant recognition at the 2016 European Space Agency (ESA) Living Planet Symposium.
A paper titled: Mapping maize lethal necrosis severity in Kenya using multi-spectral high to moderate resolution satellite imagery, presented by Richard Kyalo et al.,was selected as the most innovative out of more than 1500 oral paper presentations made at the Symposium. Richard is a PhD Candidate in the icipe Geo-Information Unit.
The paper presented findings of the research, which show the possibility of using time-series and multi-sensor satellite data (with permissible spatial resolutions) to monitor the spatial distribution of MLN disease infestation rates in small scale farms in western Kenya. Satellite data on MLN severity could complement field efforts and lead to more synoptic and wide-area information on where intervention efforts need to be prioritised. If MLN severity maps are combined with other crop productivity constraints information data feeds (such as droughts and soil fertility), decision making in regard to farmers' risks and ultimately food security can be significantly improved.
This research is funded through a small grant from the Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development (BEAF), run by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.The Remote Sensing Department of the University of Wuerzburg, in cooperation with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), was the German collaborator in this project.

Based on the technological progress in recent years (especially in the field of automation, sensor technology, digitalisation, data communication and decision-making algorithms), the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) is becoming increasingly realistic.
But even if an increasing number of functions are taken over or supported by automation, the human operator retains an important role.
Such a change in the function of the operators means that the MASS operators will need to acquire different competences and will have to be trained in line with the requirements of the upcoming tasks.
The primary focus of the study lies in investigating tasks, functions and required competences of future MASS Operators.

The Evolution of the All Blacks' BMI
By Phoebe Falconer
The evolution of the All Blacks is clearly seen in changes to the dreaded body mass index (BMI).
Even though the height of some players hasn't changed significantly, their BMI (calculated from the ratio of weight to height) has increased over the past 50 years or so. This is particularly noticeable among the props. However, the change in height among the backs has increased at a greater rate than their BMI.
Elaine Rush, professor of nutrition at AUT University, puts this down to several factors.
Predominantly the rise can be attributed to a change in ethnicity of representative rugby players, and better knowledge of nutrition and training methods.
"The demographics of New Zealand have changed," says Dr Rush. "Statistics collected up until the mid-1990s did not include many Pacific Island people or Maori, who in general are not taller but weigh more. And All Black teams 50 or so years ago contained fewer Polynesians.
"People selected for elite sport do not represent the general population. They can afford and are educated about the right nutrition." Muscle can be conditioned and trained. The sort of exercise that rugby players do has a large component that is anaerobic - short and sharp, with a strength that builds a bigger type of muscle fibre.
It appears from research that Polynesian people have more of this type of muscle than Europeans.
"The latter tend to have more aerobic muscle, which lends itself better to sports such as soccer and marathon running."
But rugby players, and others who do a lot of sport, need to be careful when their playing days are over, says Dr Rush.
"They become used to eating great quantities of food, as they need to do while they train and play. Take away the exercise and the fat may creep on."
Nicholas Gill, strength and conditioning coach for the All Blacks, says that as the players are now professional, they take their livelihoods seriously and are using the information and resources available to them.
"The strength and nutrition programmes do change their weights. Sometimes the goal of a gym programme is to increase muscle mass but more often than not it is designed to increase strength and power and prevent injury." This means that even though the All Blacks are larger than the average New Zealand man, typically rugby players have been getting leaner, with less body fat, over the past few years, says Gill.
But we still have some seriously big units in the All Black team and while we expect this trend will continue (in general, each generation is bigger than the last), we can't yet boast the tallest international rugby players of all time. That award goes to Richard Metcalfe, who played at lock for Scotland from 2000 to 2002. At 2.13m (7ft) he had plenty of reach in a lineout.
We do have the heaviest, however - Neemia Tialata weighs in at 136kg.

How Much Does Calcium Chloride Cost?
Calcium Chloride is a salt of calcium and chlorine. This chemical compound often includes brine and is used for refrigerating plants; ice and dust control on roads; and desiccation. Calcium chloride is hygroscopic in nature and should be kept in tightly sealed air tight containers.
As a desiccant, calcium chloride is used to absorb moisture mainly on the road since it is thrown on the road which makes it hold the dust down. This chemical compound is often sold in bags in various amounts. This is one of the factors being considered for the price of it. Other factors that affect the price are the types of calcium chloride as it can be used in a number of ways.
How much is it?
- A pallet of calcium chloride can cost anywhere from $550 to $650, while a single bag can run anywhere from $12 to $25. Ice melter that is designed to melt the snow and ice in the winter months can cost $10 to $18 per 5 to 10 pound container.
- Calcium chloride used in the food industry is usually sold in bottle. Food grade calcium chloride is water soluble and is used in food preparation, such as in the process to obtain firmness of certain vegetables. A 500g bottle can cost anywhere between $18 and $24.
- Calcium Chloride is also sold in a pellet form, which is stored in buckets. This product is sold for $30 to $55 per 50 pound bucket. For example, the PELADOW brand sells a 50 pound bucket for $30 to $40. The chloride that commonly comes in pellet form can be a great solution for icy driveways as well as melting snow.
What are the extra costs?
- If you're going to be using the product to thaw or melt ice, you'll need to spread it evenly; this is where a hand held spreader may come in handy. This device can cost anywhere from $14 to $26, depending on the size.
What is going to be included?
- Calcium chloride comes packaged either in a clear container or a bag. Ice melter containers may have a cap that can act as a spreader to make it easier.
How can I save money?
- Calcium chloride is not an everyday household item. Purchase an appropriate amount every time you need it and save any remaining product after use. A good time to get a discount is after the winter season as many retailers are trying to get rid of their overstock.


Rongme Ngatra of the Chola Mountains in Garze, Sichuan
Rongme Ngatra is the highest peak of the Chola Mountains in the Kham region of western Sichuan, China. The peak's name in Mandarin Chinese is Que Er Shan or Chola Mountains (Chinese: 雀儿山; pinyin: Què'ér Shān) also the same name as the entire range, which has led to some translations of the mountain peak to Chola Mountain. At 6,168 metres (20,236 ft), the mountain is the highest peak in the Chola Mountains, as well as the second highest in the greater Shaluli Mountains after Ge'nyen.[2]The mountain peak is flanked by glaciers to the north and east. The north glacier terminates at 4,100 metres (13,500 ft) above sea level, just above the nearby lake Yihun Lhatso.[3] Rongme Ngatra can be accessed from the town of Manigangoin Dege County, Garze Prefecture.

Yes, that seems to be a typo: the conditions should be If %WIFI ~ on and If %WIFI!~ on (or If %WIFI ~ off).
The %WIFI variable can only be on or off, not toggle. But the Wifi action can be used to enable, disable or toggle Wifi, i.e. if Wifi is enabled, it will be disabled, and if Wifi is disabled, it will be enabled.
The example (minus the typo) talks about creating a "Toggle Wifi" widget: if Wifi is on and you click the icon, Wifi will be disabled and the icon will be changed to a "Wifi is off" icon. And if Wifi is off and you click the icon, Wifi will be enabled and the icon will be changed to a "Wifi is on" icon.

A Brief History of Robot Birds
Our recent post on the history of the cuckoo clock inspired some research into other examples of early, non-timekeeping robot birds. For centuries, birds–pigeons and canaries in particular–have been a popular subject for inventors and engineers experimenting with early mechanical systems and robotics. Take, for example, Bubo, the ancient clockwork owl seen in the 1981 film Clash of The Titans. Bubo was forged by Hephaestus to aid Perseus in his quest and Bubo was, of course, purely fictional. There were however, actual avian automatons in actual ancient Greece.
The earliest example dates to 350 B.C.E. when the mathematician Archytas of Tarentum, who some credit with inventing the science of mechanics, is said to have created a mechanical wooden dove capable of flapping its wings and flying up to 200 meters, powered by some sort of compressed air or internal steam engine. Archytas' invention is often cited as the first robot, and, in light of recent technological advancements, perhaps we could even consider it to be the first drone; the very first machine capable of autonomous flight. Very few details are actually known about the ancient mechanical dove, but it seems likely that it was connected to a cable and flew with the help of a pulley and counterweight. This early wind-up bird was chronicled a few hundred years later in the pages of a scientific text by a mathematician, Hero of Alexandria. - Continue reading at Smithsonian.com.

The eC-registration-system is a simple, easy to use, yet accurate pin tooling system to perfectly register the SMD stencil onto the PCB (panel).
Stencils having this tooling are called eC- stencils. PCBs having these tooling are called eC-registration-compatible PCBs.
The PCB requires 2 location holes of 3 mm finished diameter and the stencil requires 2 location holes of 5 mm finished diameter. The drawing shows their relative positions and should be sufficient for PCB and stencil manufacturing.
eC-registration system -mechanical drawing
All dimensions are shown on the drawing.
Stencils having this tooling are called eC- stencils. PCBs having these tooling are called eC-registration-compatible PCBs.
Please note that:
 1. The location pins for the PCB are sized 3H8 so they are undersized to fit the 3 mm location holes. The location pins for the stencil are 5H8.
 2. The width of the location-pin blocks and the accuracy of the registration system mean that PCBs less than 50 mm wide cannot be mounted on the eC-stencil-mate.
 3. All Eurocircuits standard panels comply with the eC-registration-system.
 4. PCB's marked as eC-registration-compatible in the order will be placed in a standard Eurocircuits customer panel.
 5. Customer panels marked as eC-registration-compatible will be adapted with the tooling holes needed.


Adopted daughter needs a new passport but how do I go about applying for it?
Passport Frequently Asked Questions and AnswersQuestion: My wife and I were both born in the U.S. and are natural born citizens. We adopted our daughter from Canada in 2004 and she is now 8 years old. Her U.S. Passport expired on July 20, 2009. We do not have her Certificate of Citizenship but we do have her birth certificate from Canada that shows us as her parents. Also, we have the Canadian adoption certificate that also identifies her as being our adopted daughter. Will this be adequate documentation to renew her passport?
Answer: Being that she obtains a previously-issued passport, she can use that as evidence to prove her U.S. citizenship. Also, you will have to present a document stating your relationship with your adopted daughter. In this case, an adoption decree with the names of the adopting parents is acceptable. As long as a translation is present. A foreign document is acceptable with the passport application. Other necessary documents will be a copy of the parent's identification documentations and a current or recent passport photo.
Here is a list of passport application acceptance facilities.
Here are some facts about minor's passports:
 - To qualify for a minor's passport the child must be under the age of 16.
 - The passport will have a validity term of 5 years.
 - It usually requires consent of both parents. In some cases this is not the case.
 - Can be renew by appearing in person.
 - Use Form DS-11 application.

Reflecting on peace practice II
Venue and dates: Barcelona – From 10 to 14 October, 2016
Reflecting on peace practice (RPP) II Training course systems approaches in peacebuilding
Reflecting on Peace Practice (RPP) II is an intensive 5-day advanced course focused on systems approaches to conflict analysis and peacebuilding strategy. This includes an introduction to systems thinking, practicing conflict analysis from a systems perspective, identifying points of leverage to create change in a conflict system, and entry points for programmatic strategies for intervention.
The workshop is very interactive, with many opportunities to practice the application of RPP tools from a systems point of view.
This course will address the following questions:
- Why is a systemic approach to conflict analysis and peacebuilding strategy design important?
- What should we work on to have the most impact on peace and conflict in a given context?
- What are points of leverage in the given situation? How can we best intervene in a conflict system?
- With whom should we work? Which actors and stakeholders are most important?
- What is the rationale for our chosen approach – and is it valid in the context?
Participants will be better prepared to:
1. Apply systems approaches and tools in conflict analysis processes.
2. Develop leverage points for change and entry points for programming based on systems analysis.
3. Obtain confidence in using systems approaches to conflict analysis and peacebuilding strategy and program design in support of peers and partners.

SSRS – Crazy Issues; Stupid Solutions
calvin-and-hobbes-e1328550590232
1. Interactive Sorting Garbling Table Header Text
As per best of my knowledge and googling capabilities there is no way to place the interactive sorting up and down arrows as per your choice and they will always appear on the right hand side of the cell / textbox /column header. And this wrecks havoc rendering your SSRS report if the cell / textbox /column header are not wide enough. Check the below image :
Interactive Sorting Issue 2
A workaround is to have a dummy row below the header row and turn on the interactive sorting for the columns of this dummy row like below :
image
image
And then the when you run the report it will come out like this :
image
2. Image with Transparent Background Getting Garbled When Exported to pdf
This one is really weird, when the image you want to display in footer had a transparent background like below and the footer has a background (sky blue in my case):
image
then when the report is exported to pdf it looks like below, which is not really sharp:
image
So the workaround for this is to provide the image a background i.e. sky blue instead of transparent and then if you export your report in pdf it should be fine as below :
image
3. Display only the Currency Symbol
Typically we want to show the currency next to the numbers whenever we are displaying money in the report and the currency symbol has to be as per the client machine or browser locale, for example like below :
image
For this what we do is :
1. Set the Language property of report to User!Language
2. Set Format property of cells to C0 or something similar
As you can see, the currency symbol is also going to occupy some cell space and when the numbers has many digits this will cause a line break which will not be nice. So the ideal case is to display the currency symbol next to the column header like below :image
However the is no way to directly display the currency symbol because you need numbers so you can format them in currency but you have text
So the hack is
1. Create a placeholder instead of label for the column header and set the placeholders label as the column header text
2. Write a expression for the placeholder value which is
="Column Header Text"
+ "<br>"
+ "(" + Replace(FormatCurrency("0″,0),"0″,"") + ")"
which actually adds "Rs. 0" after the header text and then replaces the 0 with blank space
3. Set the markup type of the placeholder to HTML
4. Expand Drilldown while Exporting or Subscribing a Report
Drilldown is a great feature of SSRS, however if the drilldown is collapsed by default if you export or deliver a report by email by subscriptions then still the report content will be collapsed and for some use cases that's what you will not want.
A workaround can be to add a report parameter ShowDetails with values Yes / No, default No , the drilldown visibility of groups / UI elements is governed by an expression based on this parameters value and when you subscribe the report, you subscribe it with ShowDetails = Yes

The Dobongsan Car Park was initially planned by the Municipal Government of Seoul, as the part of a new traffic system at the boundary of the two metropolitan cities Seoul and Uijeongbu. Also, the client, Seoul Metropolitan Infrastructure Headquarters, wished to include public amenities such as a café and a lounge. This programmatic directive allowed the typical parking building to be re-imagined.
In this project, reinventing the parking structure began by rethinking the performance of the building envelope. Taking into account one of the primary problems with a typical parking structure–the dominance imposed by a large volume–the Dobongsan Car Park proposes a building envelope with a series of separated bands. Also, the main concept of the project, a parking structure as public space, is realized on the rooftop. Here the bands of the facade are manipulated to form an artificial landscape that creates a public garden and plaza.
In this way, the project successfully showcases a new type of a parking structure. It proves that a parking building can be more than a storage container for vehicles, it can also be a place for community and new encounters.


1, this is created on a form in the resource editor, how do u access the text in netbeans. and also what is the code to display another form, example to create a login form and if the details are correct then go to formMain or formError
 ReplyDelete
 40. See some of my videos showing the binding of the UI to code. Generally once you generate the netbeans code binding becomes automatic and you should be able to invoke findMyComponentName(rootContainer) to find any component within the rootContainer hierarchy. E.g. I have a button that delivered an event and I want to find a text field named "search" in the GUI builder:
 TextField t = findSearch(myButton.getParent);

 41. Vincente I suggest you use ActionListener rather than selection listener. Selection listener is designed for quick refresh of the data based on selection not user interaction.
