A Guide to Blanking in Contract Manufacturing
Many startups and small product manufacturing businesses do not have the capital needed to construct and operate a production facility. In these situations, they often turn to contract manufacturers to make their products so they do not need to invest in their own factory. Below, we provide an overview of contract manufacturing, discussing what it is, what types are available, what to look for in a good partner, and what role blanking can play in the process.
What Is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing is a business relationship in which one company (the contracting company) outsources some or all of its manufacturing operations to another company (the contracted company). The contracted company produces parts and products to the specifications given to it by the contracting company.
There are many advantages to forming a partnership with a contract manufacturer. For example, the contracting company does not need to worry about making their products, so they can focus their resources and efforts on other parts of the business, such as sales and marketing. Additionally, contract manufacturers may offer other services that can further streamline the product development process for the customer, such as design assistance, assembly, and distribution.
What Are the Different Forms of Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can be classified into several categories depending on what the contracted company provides to the contracting company. Four of the most common are:
 - Producing complete goods. This type of manufacturing relationship is also referred to as private label manufacturing. In this situation, the contracted company produces complete products for the contracting company. In addition to making all of the parts and components that go into the product, they assemble them together.
 - Producing parts or components. In this situation, the contracted company produces parts or components for the contracting company. The contracting company then uses these pieces in their own assembly operations to create finished products.
 - Supplying a service or labor. In this situation, the contracted company provides services to the contracting company, such as design, manufacturing, and distribution. The contracting company uses these services as part of their product development process. The contracted company may also supply a labor force if the contracting company does not have the manpower to carry out production.
 - Providing manufacturing equipment or facilities. In this situation, the contracted company allows the contracting company to use their equipment or facility to make the desired products.
7 Qualities to Look for in a Contract Manufacturer
Given the key role a contract manufacturer has in the production of a product, companies must choose who they partner with carefully. Otherwise, they risk subpar products, unmet production orders, and more.
The seven top qualities to look for in a good contract manufacturing partner are:
 1. ISO Certification
 2. Good Reputation in Market
 3. Good Financial Situation
 4. Clean Facility
 5. Good Management at the Facility
 6. Flexible to Market
 7. Can Meet Product Demand
How Does Precision Blanking Fit in With Contract Manufacturing?
Contract manufacturing can encompass a wide range of manufacturing processes, including precision blanking. Precision blanking is a fabrication process that uses a punch and die to remove a piece—i.e., a blank—from a sheet or strip of material. Both the punch and die are in the shape of the desired component, ensuring the piece removed has the proper form.

Cold weather season
mid-June to mid-August
Wurrgeng is the 'cold weather' time; humidity is low, daytime temperatures are around 30°C and night-time temperatures are around 17°C. Most creeks stop flowing and the floodplains quickly dry out. Burning continues, extinguished by the dew at night. By day, birds of prey patrol the fire lines as insects and small animals try to escape the flames. Magpie geese, fat and heavy after weeks of abundant food, and a myriad of other waterbirds crowd the shrinking billabongs.

Spanish Water Dog
- Weight: 30-50 lb
- Lifespan: 14 years
- Group: AKC Herding
- Best Suited For: Families with children, active singles, houses with yards, farms/rural areas
- Temperament: Hardworking, intelligent, loyal, friendly
- Comparable Breeds: Portuguese Water Dog, Puli
Spanish Water Dog Basics
If you were to imagine a medium-sized dog with thick, curly fur and a penchant for herding, you might be thinking of the Spanish Water Dog. These dogs are an old Spanish breed that has been used for herding for many centuries. The Spanish Water Dog is a highly intelligent breed that does best when given a job to do but, at the end of the day, they love nothing more than to spend time with family.
The Spanish Water Dog is a highly intelligent breed that does best when given a job to do.
There are a variety of theories that exist regarding the origins of the Spanish Water Dog, but most theories suggest that the breed has been present in the Iberian Peninsula for many centuries. In Southern Spain, the Spanish Water Dog is known as the "Andalusian Turk" and it is thought to have been brought over with Turkish shepherds. Several populations of the breed have been traced back to various regions in Spain including one in Northern Spain which became known as the Cantabrian Water Dog. The group from the southern Andalusia sierras was the largest group, known for its strength and herding skills. The Spanish Water Dog was revived during the 1970s in Spain and, in 1985, it was finally recognized by the Spanish Kennel Club.
The Spanish Water Dog is an ancient breed whose origins can be traced back to the Iberian Peninsula around 1,100 AD. This breed was historically used for herding and various populations of the breed were combined to create a well-balanced breed with all the desired traits for herding.
The Spanish Water Dog is a mediumto large-sized breed, so it should be offered a dog food that has been formulated to meet the energy requirements of large-breed dogs. Spanish Water Dogs are also a highly active breed so, especially if you intend to train your dog for herding or other dog sports, you may want to consider an active breed formula.
These dogs have strong natural herding and guarding instincts so they do best when given a job to perform.
The Spanish Water Dog is an intelligent breed so it typically responds well to training. These dogs have strong natural herding and guarding instincts so they do best when given a job to perform. This breed can become fairly territorial and protective of family, so early socialization and training is needed to prevent the Spanish Water Dog from becoming wary around strangers. If trained and socialized from an early age, these dogs can get along well with children and household pets.
Related: Portuguese Water Dog
At maturity, the average male Spanish Water Dog stands between 17 and 20 inches tall and weighs 40 to 50 lbs. The female Spanish Water Dog stands about 16 to 18 inches tall and weighs between 30 and 40 lbs. at maturity.
The Spanish Water Dog is a friendly and affectionate breed with family, but it can be somewhat aloof or suspicious around strangers if not properly trained. These dogs enjoy spending time with family and they require a good deal of daily exercise. This breed does not do well when left alone for long periods of time – they require a good bit of human interaction to thrive. These dogs are sometimes referred to as "Velcro dogs" because they tend to stick so close to family. Spanish Water Dogs are best suited to individuals or families who lead an active lifestyle and mental stimulation is incredibly important because they are so intelligent.
Common Health Problems
The Spanish Water Dog is generally a healthy and hardy breed but, like all breeds, it is prone to developing certain health problems. The health concerns most likely to affect the Spanish Water Dog breed include hip dysplasia, allergies, glaucoma, PRA and hypothyroidism. Responsible breeding practices and genetic testing can help to greatly reduce the risk for these and other inherited diseases in the Spanish Water Dog.
The average life expectancy of the Spanish Water Dog is about 14 years.
Because the Spanish Water Dog is a herding breed it has fairly high requirements for exercise. These dogs require at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day plus some active play time, if possible. Training these dogs for herding or other dog sports is a great way to meet both their physical and mental stimulation needs.
The Spanish Water Dog is a friendly and affectionate breed with family, but it can be somewhat aloof or suspicious around strangers if not properly trained.
In 2005 the American Kennel Club (AKC) admitted the Spanish Water Dog into the AKC Foundation Stock Service and, in 2008, it began to compete in the Herding group for dog agility trials. In 2012 the breed was moved to the Miscellaneous group and, as of January 1, 2015, the Spanish Water Dog is now officially recognized by the AKC in the Herding Group.
The Spanish Water Dog has a curly, hypoallergenic coat which, when allowed to grow, forms cords. It is not recommended that you brush or clip the coat of this breed – it is preferred natural. These dogs come in a variety of colors including solid black, grown, white, and beige or any combination of one of these colors with white. The breed standard prohibits tri-colored dogs.
Spanish Water Dog puppies are always born with curly hair and, as they mature, the curly hair starts to form thick cords. Early socialization and training is essential for Spanish Water Dogs because they have a tendency to become aloof around strangers if not properly socialized. This breed can do well around household pets and children if properly socialized while young.

NCLOAD is the jCommon module of jLab.
 NCLOAD Load all variables from a NetCDF file and convert trajectories to cells.

 NCLOAD(FILENAME) loads all variables from the NetCDF file FILENAME and
 places them into a structure of the same name in the calling workspace.
 The extension '.nc' in FILENAME is optional.

 If FILENAME contains a full pathname, only the final portion after the
 last '/' or '\' is used for the structure name.

 Note that any hyphens '-' in the filename are replaced with underscores
 in the structure name, as the former are not allowed in variable names.

 For example, if FILENAME='/Home/data' contains variables 'num', 'lat',
 and 'lon', then the result of calling NCLOAD('data') will be a
 structure 'data' with fields 'data.num', 'data.lat', and 'data.lon'.

 Then USE can be used to map these variables into the main workspace.

 NCLOAD(FILENAME,VAR1,VAR2,...,VARN) will only load the variables with
 the names VAR1, VAR2,...VARN.

 NCLOAD will convert any variables that are numeric but not doubles to
 doubles. This is because experience has shown using other data types
 in code that is expecting doubles can lead to errors in Matlab.
 __________________________________________________________________

 Convert trajectory data

 In addition, if FILENAME has the global attribute

 featureType = 'trajectory'

 then any variables in FILENAME are have 'Dimensions: obs' will be
 interpreted as concatentated trajectory data, following the NetCDF
 Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Conventions Appendix H.4.3

 _URL_

 NCLOAD adopts the convention that a variable named 'ids', having
 'Dimensions: obs', provides the id for all other variables.

 All variables of dimension obs will be converted to cell arrays by
 first calling COLBREAKS using ids as the first argument, then COL2CELL.

 Alternatively, all variables with 'Dimensions: obs' will be
 interpreted as being in the NaN-separated column format used by
 COL2CELL, which will be called to put then in cell array format. This
 format is supported to provide for reverse compatibility; it is
 recommended to use the CF trajectory convention instead.
 __________________________________________________________________

 The following formats also work:

 ncload filename
 ncload filename var1 var2 ... varN

 In this format, the input strings have to be the actual names of the
 file and variables, as opposed to variables containing those names.

 This is basically a way to conveniently work with small NetCDF files as
 if they were mat-files. Typically, NetCDF files load much faster.

 Usage: ncload(filename);
 ncload filename
 ncload(filename,'num','lat','lon');
 ncload filename num lat lon

Using Expert Knowledge for Test Linking
Linking and equating procedures are used to make the results of different test forms comparable. In the cases where no assumption of random equivalent groups can be made some form of linking design is used. In practice the amount of data available to link the two tests is often very limited due to logistic and security reasons, which affects the precision of linking procedures. This study proposes to enhance the quality of linking procedures based on sparse data by using Bayesian methods which combine the information in the linking data with background information captured in informative prior distributions. We propose two methods for the elicitation of prior knowledge about the difference in difficulty of two tests from subject-matter experts and explain how these results can be used in the specification of priors. To illustrate the proposed methods and evaluate the quality of linking with and without informative priors, an empirical example of linking primary school mathematics tests is presented. The results suggest that informative priors can increase the precision of linking without decreasing the accuracy.

Graphplan has attracted considerable interest because of its extremely high performance, but the algorithm's inability to handle action representations more expressive than STRIPS is a major limitation. In particular, extending Graphplan to handle conditional effects is a surprisingly subtle enterprise. In this paper, we describe the space of possible alternatives, and then concentrate on one particular approach we call factored expansion. Factored expansion splits an action with conditional effects into several new actions called components, one for each conditional effect. Because these action components are not independent, factored expansion complicates both the mutual exclusion and backward chaining phases of Graphplan. As compensation, factored expansion often produces dramatically smaller domain models than does the more obvious full-expansion into exclusive STRIPS actions. We present experimental results showing that factored expansion dominates full expansion on large problems.

Interdisciplinary Working Groups
With the founding of the first Interdisciplinary Working Group in 1986, the Johannes Gutenberg University created a new funding instrument for interdisciplinary collaboration in individual fields of research. The centres are established by the Senate, with a reservation of appraisal, for a certain period, and provided with €2,500 per year.
Interdisciplinary working groups serve, among other things, as nuclei for the formation of larger structures and for the creation of a critical mass, in order to find an increased echo among external funding sources.
At present Faculty 08 is involved in the following Interdisciplinary Working Groups:

Role modelling and its impact on the self-development of academics
Place of Publication
School of Business and Law
Academics in higher education are expected by their institutions to enhance their self-development. Role modelling is a means by which academics may achieve pertinent self-development goals. The focus of this chapter is to explore how role modelling can be used in this regard. Through a comprehensive literature review, the dynamics of role modelling in the context of higher education is explored. The author discusses the intricate processes involved in how role modelling can positively influence the personal and professional development of academics. Theoretical perspectives of professional identity construction through role modelling are examined. The author presents the position that academics will utilise role models for personal and professional development throughout their careers. In this context, the processes of role model selection are examined, and the theoretical underpinnings guiding the achievement of self-developmental goals are discussed. The author concludes that role modelling can be applied as an avenue to personal and professional development for academics. The author also proposes practical recommendations to facilitate role modelling interventions within the context of higher education and suggests avenues for future research.

Home / Adobe InDesign / Adobe InDesign: Removing Unwanted Spaces, Fast!
Adobe InDesign: Removing Unwanted Spaces, Fast!
By Barb Binder, Adobe Certified Instructor on InDesign
Updated April 22, 2016
Too many extra spaces in your InDesign documents? No problem. You can quickly and (painlessly) remove extra spaces by running one or more Find/Change queries. The three I am going to show you are using GREP, which uses patterns instead of actual character strings to locate and fix issues in InDesign documents.
 1. Place all your files into the InDesign document. (I place stories on the Pasteboard when I'm not ready to place them on the actual pages.)
 2. Choose Type > Show Hidden Characters so that you can see the non-printing characters.
 Adobe InDesign: Example of extra spacing.
 3. Chose Edit > Find/Change.
 4. Drop down the Query list on the top line and run each of these queries with the Search parameter set to Document (to search all the stories in the InDesign document):
 1. Multiple Space to Single Space. Instead of running a series of searches to weed out all extra spaces, just pick this one preset. The Find What line looks a little scary, so just don't look too closely. If you simply can't look away, understand that it's a string of GREP characters that looks for two or more spaces (i.e., em spaces, en spaces, flush spaces, hairspaces, etc.) and replaces all of those with one spacebar space. Hit Change All and poof! All extra spaces are gone.
 Adobe InDesign CC: Removing Extra Spaces
 2. Multiple Returns to Single Return. Another preset, this one pulls out all two or more hard returns and replaces with one.
 Adobe InDesign CC: Removing Extra Spaces
 3. Remove Trailing Whitespace. Trailing whitespace refers to one or more spaces, tabs or extra returns at the end of a paragraph, between the final punctuation and the hard return(s). When it's just a single space, most of the time they don't cause any problems, but sometimes they won't fit on the same line as the punctuation and they force a new line or even a new page. For long documents, this can be a real nightmare. This query also picks up the double returns and even multiple spaces (but only when the spaces are at the end of a paragraph) so I tend to run this one first.

 1. Hello,
 To complete this interesting post, we can remove unwanted spaces between double characteres as parenthesis, braces, brackets, etc. with a lookbehind and a lookahead :
 In this example, the lookbehind (?<=) looks, in a character class [ ], for an open parenthesis or an open bracket or an open brace followed by one or more spaces. The lookahead (?=) looks for closes characteres preceded by one or more spaces.
 2. Hi Mrolfer: the GREP strings in all three examples are shown as screen shots under the instructions. If you can't see them for some reason, you can access all three by opening up the Find/change dialog box in InDesign CS3 or CS4. ~Barb
 3. WOW, what a relief to find such a piece of information while you ere desperately looking for it!
 Thanks Barb
 4. Is it possible to find all "tabs" and replace with no space? Actually more specifically, I have two tabs in each line of text. The first tab I would like to replace with no space. The second tab I would like to replace with one space.
 I really appreciate anyone's incredible knowledge if you have a solution for this as my document has 10751 tabs. 😮
 1. Hi Donetta:
 How about searching for two consecutive tabs, and replacing with a single space? Here's how to set it up in InDesign:
 Find what: ^t^t
 Change to: (press the spacebar once)
 5. Love this really, really helpful thanks so much!
 I have a question though. Almost ever time I receive a manuscript from a client, they seem to have manually indented their paragraphs by adding a couple of spaces at the beginning of each one. Is there any quick and simple way to remove these? That way I can use paragraph styles for proper and consistent indentation.
 1. Excellent point, Antony. InDesign has a query for removing trailing whitespace, but not leading whitespace.
 There are several ways to do this. Here are two easy ones:
 After you run the "Multiple Space to Single Space" query, create one additional text query:
 Find what: ^p(press the spacebar once)
 Change to: ^p
 This will find the one remaining space at the beginning of a paragraph, and will replace it with a hard return.
 Or, you can just create a GREP query:
 Find what: $s+
 Change to: r
 In either case, save the query as "Remove Leading Whitespace" so that you can just run it in the future.
 6. I have been in despair with customer's word documents. Instructions on hard returns and soft returns met with blank incomprehension and still I receive files that almost bring me to tears. Line after line of deleting spaces – on and on.
 Your grep instruction has been such a godsend to me, I don't know how I found myself on your site, but if you ever brought out a grep app I would pay good money for it. Thank you so much. I can now say "bring it on…bring on your awful word docs"
 BTW have you got any instructions for removing the spaces in lines, when the customer doesn't know how to tab, so does space-space-space-space?
 1. Hi Elizabeth:
 If the typists are randomly adding the extra spaces mid-paragraph, use the Multiple Space to Single Space GREP query. If they are using spaces between columns that should be tabbed, then search for multiple spaces, and replace with a tab. Cycle back and replace multiple tabs with a single tab. But that's going to require that you look at each table closely as you update, as the chances for problems are much greater than within paragraphs. Here's a spot where I'd step in and try to help them prepare the tables correctly before turning them over to me. Good luck!
 1. Hello,
 I have one problem in indesign paragraph related. When i add new formatting like bold/color in some words, it add leading some blank characters. so extra spaces add in new bold/ color words. How can i remove it.
 Thanks in advance.
 7. thanks SO much. your directions were clear and easy to follow AND you saved me a TON of time!
 8. I have been formatting a 400+ page book that I have written and I am sending it to the printer next week. I have struggled with a number of these issues as I originally wrote the book in Word. I ran the Remove Trailing Whitespace GREP and after I did it, InDesign would no longer output to PDF. It turns out that something corrupted one of my tables when I ran the GREP and clicked change all. I began to output the document several pages at a time and located two offending pages. I was able to rebuild the tables and everything is great now.
 I just did the Remove Leading Whitespace and Parenthetical White Space and did the changes manually and it worked awesome!
 I finished writing the book in April and it has taken me until November to get it all edited and formatted and create the images and cover. I never dreamed that this part of the process would be so time intensive!!!
 I am a dentist and a part time writer and I have come to realize that you professional folks are worth your weight in gold!
 Thanks so much for taking the time to share these tidbits, they are a Godsend!!
 9. I design books and often the authors put a tab at the beginning of their paragraphs. I need to removed them using GREP but don't remember how. Can you help?
 1. You don't need GREP for that. Just do a regular text Find/Change:
 Find: ^p^t
 Change: ^p
 This tells InDesign to search for any tab character following a ¶, remove the tab and leave the ¶.
 1. Hi Cade:
 Choose Edit > Find/Change
 Choose the GREP tab at the top of the dialog box
 Find: ^\s
 Change: [leave blank]
 10. Thanks, been thinking I needed to create a GREP for this but clearly this was there the whole time. Saves from doing the old-fashioned find and replace.
 11. Life saver, I tell my copy guy not to double space anymore your not using a typewriter. But old habits are hard to break. Thank you so much this is so awesome.

Stats NZ has published their latest annual income survey. Some interesting stats:
- Average income from wages/salaries up 6% in the last year
- Average income from all sources up 2.2% and median income from all sources up 2.7% which suggests less income inequality
- Median income for those in paid employment is $45,729 and average income is $53,759
- Median income for those with no qualifications is $39,002, $50,005 for a bachelors degree and $67,003 for a post-grad degree
- Age is a major factor in income. 50% of those in the bottom income quintile are aged under 25, while under 25s make up just 2% of the top income quintile. Those arguing that 16 year olds must get paid $18.40 an hour are basically buts.
- The average income for a couple with two dependent children is $97,924 while for a sole parent with dependent children is $37,126
- Government transfers represent 3% of the income of an average couple with two children and 46% of the income an an average sole parent.
- The median salary/wage for a 40 hour week is $45,009 and the average is $54,229
- 1,197,100 people receive a Government transfer, 1,892,100 are in employment, 323,900 are self-employed

A median barrier is a concrete curb or island that is located on the centerline of a street and continues through the street's intersection with a given cross street.
Strategically located median barriers reduce traffic volumes on a street. Median barriers prevent left turns from the through street and left turns and through moves from the cross street.
Median barriers are very effective in reducing volumes.
Separate opposing vehicle travel lane
Prevent vehicle from passing other vehicles
Depending on location, may improve safety through access limitations
Can be designed with breaks in the landscaping to provide pedestrian refuge
May visually enhance the street through landscaping
|May require major parking removal
Prohibit or limit access and movement (from driveways)
May have a negative impact on emergency services because of access limitations
Median barriers cost approximately $10,000-20,000.
Medians may not significantly affect curbside parking opportunities, but sometimes parking would be prohibited to accommodate the remaining turning movements or to make room for a wider median barrier.
Transit Service Impacts:
Median barriers would prevent transit service on the blocked street.
Emergency Services Impacts:
The turn restrictions imposed by a median barrier would apply to emergency vehicles and are not typically used to block a primary fire response route.
Median barriers apply to all drivers, including local residents. Very special care must be taken to consider the availability, capacity, and appropriateness of the alternative routes drivers might use if a semi-diverter is constructed.
Provision should be made to make median barriers passable for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Examples In Portland:
SE 20th at Harrison Street. SE 20th at Ankeny Street.

It refers to the increase in the stock of fixed assets of the producers during a year. In other words, it can be described as the expenditure incurred by producers on purchase of long term assets or capital goods during the year. For example, Plant and machinery, Furniture and Building etc.
It can be calculated as:
Fixed investment during the year = Stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year
Let's assume, a producer has a stock of 20 machines at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has a stock of 35 machines. Thus, the fixed assets stock of producer is increased by 15 machines during the year.
Therefore, fixed investment during the year 2020 = 15 machines.
Due to this, fixed investment is also known as Fixed capital formation. Thus, It means the increase in capital in terms of fixed assets which are used in the process of production for several years.
Meaning of Inventory Investment:-
It refers to the change in the stock of finished, semi-finished and raw material during a year. Here, the finished goods refer to the final goods ready to sale or unsold. And, Semi-finished goods include goods which are in the process of production. Thus, The stock of these goods is known as Inventory stock. It keeps on varying with the passage of time. Hence, the change inventory stock during the year is known as inventory investment of producers.
It can be calculated as:
Inventory investment during the year = Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.
Let's assume the producer has 1,25,000 units of inventory stock including finished, semi-finished goods and raw material at the beginning of year i.e. 1st Jan 2020. On 31st December 2020, he has 2,25,000 units of inventory stock with him. Thus, the inventory stock of producer is increased by 1,00,000 units.
Inventory stock during the year = 1,00,000 units.
Chart of Difference between Fixed investment and inventory investment:
|Basis of Difference||Fixed Investment||Inventory Investment|
It refers to expenditure incurred on the purchase of fixed assets or capital goods.
|It refers to expenditure incurred on the purchase of raw material, semi-finished or finished goods.|
|Purpose||Here, the purpose is to continue further production.||Here, the purpose is to meet the demands of consumers in case of shortage.|
Can be known as
|It can also be known as Capital investment.||It can also be known as Working Capital investment.|
|Here, the investment can be considered as expenditure on long term assets.||And, this investment can be considered as expenditure on income yielding short term assets.|
Resale of assets
|In this type of investment, the assets are not meant to be resold at any period of time.||Here, the inventory is not meant to be resold immediately but stays in stock to raise inventory level.|
|The stock of fixed assets at the end of the year – Stock of fixed assets in beginning of the year||Inventory stock at the end of the year – Inventory stock at the beginning of the year.|
|In short, It leads to a higher rate of economic growth.||Generally, It avoids the uncertainties related to price and availability of raw material.|

What is a land acknowledgement and why do we do it?
A land acknowledgement is a statement recognizing the traditional territory of the Indigenous people(s) who called the land home before the arrival of settlers, and in many cases still do call it home. Indigenous peoples have been acknowledging the land at the start of gatherings, ceremonies and events for time immemorial.
Providing a land acknowledgement at the beginning of an event or meeting gives time for reflection and demonstrates recognition of Indigenous lands, treaties and peoples. It involves thinking about what happened in the past and what changes can be made going forward in order to further the reconciliation process. Land acknowledgements mark a small and important step in the process of reconciliation and building a positive relationship with Indigenous peoples. By making a land acknowledgement you are taking part in an act of reconciliation, honouring the land and Indigenous presence which dates back over 10,000 years.
Using and participating in a land acknowledgement is a way to recognize the enduring presence and resilience of Indigenous peoples in this area for time immemorial. They are also a reminder that we are all accountable to these relationships.

While your child is learning the importance of the letters A-B-C-D, you need to be learning the importance of the letters R-E-S-P.
An RESP is a tax-deferred savings plan that makes it easier to save money for a child's post-secondary education.
And thanks to the Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG), the federal government supplements RESP contributions, matching up to 20% of your annual contribution (to a maximum of $500 per beneficiary per calendar year.)
ATB's RESP investment products include GICs; mutual funds, stocks and bonds—and even a specially designed RESP savings account, the Daily Interest Savings Account.
- Current rules allow you to contribute a lifetime maximum of $50,000 per child. There is no annual contribution limit.
- You can grow your savings faster with financial assistance from federal and provincial government grants.
- All money in the plan grows tax free until it's withdrawn, and when your child starts using the money for school, only the accumulated interest is taxable as income.
- You can choose from individual plans (one beneficiary) or family plans (multiple beneficiaries)
- Anyone can contribute to a child's RESP, not just the parents of the child.
- If your child decides not to attend post-secondary, your options include:
- Designating an alternate beneficiary
- Transferring the income earned (up to a maximum of $50,000) into an RRSP, provided there is unused contribution room in the RRSP
- Withdrawing the funds
- Donating the income earned to a post-secondary institution
Learn more about federal and provincial government RESP grants
Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG)
The CESG is a federal government incentive that pays 20 cents on every dollar you contribute to your RESP, up to a yearly maximum of $500 per beneficiary. The CESG goes directly into your RESP plan until the beneficiary reaches age 17.
Depending on the family's net household income, an additional CESG payment may be available on the first $500 contributed to an RESP annually.1
Canada Learning Bond (CLB)1
This is a bond of $500 for children born on or after January 1, 2004 to families entitled to the National Child Benefit Supplement. These children could also receive an additional $100 each year until they reach 15 years of age.
Alberta Centennial Education Savings (ACES) Plan1
The ACES Plan is a provincial government grant that contributes $500 to the RESP of every child born to or adopted by Alberta residents on or after January 1, 2005. Additional grants of $100 are available to children attending school in Alberta at ages 8, 11, and 14, provided that their parents invest at least $100 in an RESP in the year before applying for the grant.
How do I apply for these grants?
To set up an RESP and receive government grant money, your child needs a birth certificate and a social insurance number (SIN). Once you have set up the RESP, your ATB Financial or ATB Investor Services representative will apply for all eligible grants on your behalf.


World's First Pressure-based Gait Authentication System
Biometric Physical Security • Multi-Subject Tracking • Real-Time Streaming of Data
Stepscan® Secure is the world's first pressure-based gait-authentication system for access control. Stepscan® is the only company producing modular pressure-sensitive flooring that is large enough to capture many footsteps of natural gait leading to a secure area. It is configurable to suit most any space or hallway.
Stepscan® also has developed the world's first in multiple subject tracking based on real-time streaming of footprint data. This enables us to collect the footprint paths/tracks of multiple individuals simultaneously and combine the footprints in each person's path for added verification accuracy.
Based on the above features of our Stepscan® platform and research supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) we have shown that we are able to analyze various features of a person's gait and foot/floor interactions and differentiate individuals just by their walking patterns.
security gate
Features at a Glance:
 - Gait samples for registration can be acquired passively during initial entries
 - Unobtrusive scanning as part of entrance system
 - Indiscernible to the public/would be imposters
 - Detects tailgating
 - Very difficult to steal/hack a person's gait to bypass system
Dual Authentication Access Control • Next-Level Security
Access control is an integral part of any business or facility's security, ensuring that only those with proper authority and credentials gain access. To enhance security measures many facilities are now moving to 2-Factor or Multi-Factor Authentication methods. They are usually a combination of a knowledge factor (PIN code), a Possession Factor (key card) and an Inherent factor (usually a biometric method such as a fingerprint, face or retinal scan).
2-Factor authentication helps ensure that the person attempting to gain access is who they say they are and reduces the risk of unauthorized access due to stolen passwords or key cards.
Stepscan's® pressure-based gait authentication system uses a subject's gait as the biometric authentication, providing next-level of security unavailable with any other system:
 - Passive registration - unlike other biometric technologies which require formal user registration, gait samples for registration can be acquired silently during initial entries reducing burden to both the staff and those seeking access.
 - Unobtrusive - A key feature of most biometrics is that the user must present themselves (e.g. finger, hand, iris, face etc) to a sensor and be scanned. Gait is a natural movement that usually takes place leading up to a secure entrance. It is completely unobtrusive.
 - Indiscernible - Because a user isn't required to actively present themselves for inspection, there is also the potential for making it hidden - and generally unknown to would be imposters
 - Detects tailgating - The flooring solution can be used to detect when two or more individuals enter a secure space only on the authentication of one individual.
 - Very secure - As gait is a by-product of a person's biomechanical makeup, it cannot easily be mimicked.

San Francisco's Post Office opened by March 15, 1849 and its first postmark was a
manuscript, used from March 15 to June 20. San Francisco began using a postmarking
device on June 20, the straightline illustrated above, with the date written in
manuscript. Rates were indicated in manuscript until devices were obtained later in
1849. In the early years, there was no need for cancels because there were no stamps
available to cancel until the United States 1851 issue.
Three useful sources exist for classifying San Francisco postmarks, rate marks and cancels:
- The most comprehensive is Mahoney, John M., San Francisco Postal Markings, _PHONE_,
La Posta Monograph Series, Vol. 8, La Posta Publications, Lake Oswego, Oregon, 1992.
Mahoney's book includes tracings of postmarks, killers, rate marks and other
- Also important is Williams, John H., California Town Postmarks, 1849 - 1935, Western
Cover Society, 1997, published by Leonard H. Hartmann, Louisville, Ky. This book deals
exclusively with postmarks and contains numerous tracings as well.
- Third is an article by Friend, Clifford L., The 26mm Double Circle Postal Marking Of
San Francisco, Western Express, Vol XXV, No. 1, January, 1975, p. 11-18. This article is
limited to the double circle postmark introduced at San Francisco in September, 1861.
Friend's work is built upon earlier studies by Stanley Ashbrook. Neither Mahoney nor
Williams does justice to the several varieties of this postmark. Mahoney lists them all
as type 79. Williams lists five types, SAF 590, 600, 610, 620 and 630 but gives little
help for distinguishing them.
The two books have their strengths and weaknesses. Mahoney covers a broader field, but
in the early postmarks, there are some omissions and some of the usage dates are suspect.
He also uses a single tracing to illustrate several similar but distinct styles,
sometimes leading to confusion. Williams's book is in two large volumes, covering the
entire state. The San Francisco postmarks are found in Volume 2, but the explanation
key for his listings is found only at the start of volume 1, so you need to buy two books
to get the San Francisco postmarks with the key to understanding the listings. Williams
includes multiple tracings of the early San Francisco postmarks and has a tracing for
each style. However, some tracings have no discernible differences from other tracings
and I find the explanations sometimes inadequate for distinguishing them. I use both
books, except for the double circle postmarks, where I use Friend's types because neither
Mahoney nor Williams do justice to those postmarks. In this website, I attempt to give
type references used by each author. Only postmarks found on Hawaiian mail are relevant
to our study here so many postmarks used in San Francisco will be omitted intentionally.
Others may exist but I have not recorded them. Please send me
an E-mail (_EMAIL_) with information about other San Francisco pre-1870 postmarks on covers from
San Francisco postmarks are found on most letters arriving from Hawaii, but in this
Period they are rarely found on letters originating on the mainland unless mailed at San
Francisco. The practice of using postmarks on letters transiting the office was some
years in the future. Mail arriving at San Francisco from Hawaii or other Pacific ports
was first entered into the United States mail at San Francisco so the postmark was used
to indicate where the letter entered, rather than merely as a transit mark.
For ease of loading and access, the San Francisco marks are divided into the following sub-pages:

The basic nested loop structure looks like this:
int imageIndex = 0;
 for (int column = 0; column < columnCount; column++ {
 // Draw your image here at x position of (column * image width)
 // and y position of (row * image height). Add a bit to each if you
 // want some spacing between your images.
 // For example:
 drawMyImage(images[imageIndex++], column * imageWidth, row * imageHeight);

Its simple, use GridView with 3 columns.
share|improve this answer
You need two loops. The outer loop is for the rows. Each element in the row corresponds with a column, so the inner loop is for the columns.

'A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia' offers exciting and amazing tips on the importance of oaks and how to plant them successfully '
Darnum, Victoria, Australia (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Author Richard Browne expresses his sturdy and prolific fervor for nature as he pens a profound and delightful anthology in A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia. This is the author's long dream to write a book about his passion–oak trees and to share to the world how he was captivated by its grandeur and mystery.
This volume will reveal Browne's 10 years of collecting and planting oaks. It all began after arriving from Ireland and realising what to do with his six acres of bare land. Missing the beautiful and colorful changing of the seasons and the distinctive smell of the deciduous woods that he had enjoyed during his childhood, thus he decided to collect and plant oaks from different parts of the world. Through time, Browne studied and researched as much knowledge as could be found. Browne believes that oaks have played a great part in the evolution of culture. It is also the most obvious form of flora and fauna that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than being detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book aims to provide a simple guide to the things people didn't know, but probably should, about the oaks.
A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia is a book that showcases the author's long years of passion for oaks. It will also help gardeners, oak enthusiasts and land owners learn many interesting new facts and method about oak planting and collecting.
For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to _URL_.
About the Author
Richard Browne has studied and collected oak trees for many years, both in Europe and Australia. He is a member of The International Oak Society, and an assistant curator for The Encyclopaedia of Life. The author is an educator and often called upon around S.E. Australia for advice on trees and their planting. He is currently preparing an extensive work on the world's oaks, of which this book is a small and often intriguing sample.

DUBLIN, Mar. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets
(_URL_ has announced the addition of the "Dairy Products Packaging Market in Saudi Arabia 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The Dairy Products Packaging market in Saudi Arabia to grow at a CAGR of 5.37% over the period 2014-2019
Dairy products are high energy-yielding milk products. Since milk is easily contaminated because of the fermentation of lactose, dairy products need to be packed in durable materials. Increased demand for milk and milk products has brought about a transformation in the Packaging industry. Vendors in the Dairy Products Packaging market in Saudi Arabia are continuously upgrading their technologies and packaging materials to prevent contamination of dairy products.
Some of the containers used for packaging dairy products are cups, cans, sachets, bottles, and tubs. The demand for packaging is also surging because of increasing popularity of smaller multipacks and rising customer preference for yoghurt. Packaging also plays a major role in attracting customers.
One of the trends emerging in this market is increased demand for biodegradable plastic, which is used by vendors in the Dairy industry to reduce the pollution created through the packaging process. Dairy packaging vendors have formulated sustainable packaging materials that are environmental-friendly and more durable because environmental issues are a major area of concern today.
According to the report, demand for raw milk and other dairy products has increased because of the growing population, increased purchasing power, and growing fitness awareness among people.
Further, the report states that the Dairy industry and government authorities have formulated stringent laws that vendors have to comply with because it is important for dairy products to reach customers in a fresh form. This acts as a challenge to the market vendors.

Aerial Sockets
Aerial sockets, also known as TV sockets are wall-mounted outlets for coaxial connectors. They are most commonly used to provide a signal from a satellite (TV aerial) to a TV or FM. A coaxial cable is plugged into a TV and then the other end of the aerial cable is plugged into a socket to connect to the aerial.
Aerial sockets often come with a faceplate, also known as wall plate, which screws into the wall. Faceplates come in various materials, such as chrome or plastic, and provide a more aesthetic finish.
TV aerial sockets are often found around the home or workplace. You will often find a socket located where TV is to be fitted that requires a satellite signal.
What is a gang?
The number of gangs refers to the number of inputs that the wall socket has. For example, if the socket has "2 gangs" you can plug two coaxial cables into it. These cables are available in various lengths and feature a co-ax connector at each end.
How to connect to your aerial:
Aerial sockets are used when you have outdoor aerials that you wish to connect to. Aerial wall plates are fixed to the wall and you would connect your cable from your TV to the coaxial connector in the wall socket. These cables are available in various lengths to suit your requirements.
Your UHF aerial, for example, would feed into the back of the socket. The wiring from the aerial attaches to the board at the back of the aerial wall plate.
Connecting to your TV aerial provides access
Aerial Socket Connection Types:
TV socket
Radio (FM) socket
SAT (Satellite) socket

This instruction is used to Halt the operation of a Program or Task code block. Typically this instruction is used by some type of supervisory code that would terminate the execution of another Program or TASK. Now I do say Task, here, and this instruction can work for task but a non-yielding Task only runs for one scan, so it would make more since to just not execute Task instead of using a Halt instruction on it. Now the Halt instruction cannot halt the operation of the Main Program.

Haddington Garden Trust
Haddington Garden Trust (HGT) was established in 1972 by the 14th Duke of Hamilton. The Trust is responsible for the garden, which is known as St. Mary's Pleasance.
The Trust's Aims (stated in the Deed of 1972) are: "to preserve the garden as an open precinct to enhance the environment of St. Mary's Church and Haddington House, and for the enjoyment in all times coming of members of the public, and to encourage the study of Old Scottish Gardens and gardening methods." These aims form the basis of the garden management for the public today.
Friends of the River Tyne
The aims of the group are to raise public awareness and help develop the appearance/ecology of the river system.


Clickers Not Charging - Pads Do Not Work or Light Up When Buttons Pressed
Not what you were looking for? Search here.
This article applies to rechargeable ALL In Learning - ALL In Response (AIR) clicker systems where one or more pads stops charging, will not respond, and will not flash any lights when buttons are pressed.
Because of ALL In Learning's revolutionary charging system, AIR clickers should charge enough to register a response within a couple of minutes. When troubleshooting a possible charging problem, you don't have to wait overnight to see if a solution worked!
Problems with an Individual Clicker or Two?
If a pad will not show any lights when buttons are pressed, but all other pads appear to be charging, it may be defective. However, the rate of defective pads is incredibly low, so there could still be a problem with the charger that is not obvious because the other pads still have some charge left in them and this is simply the first to run down.
Troubleshooting a rechargeable pad:
 1. See the instructions below to be sure your charging base is charging correctly, and try charging the pad again. If it is one of the pads in the add-on side-storage rack, try moving it to the middle inside the charging base to see if it will charge better.
 2. Go to the Settings icon (looks like a gear) at the upper right of your ALL In Learning account, and click AIR Tools. Follow the on-screen prompts to diagnose whether the pad is in fact working and if so, get it responding to your receiver unit again.
Problems with Many Clickers at Once?
If all clickers are losing their charge and not recharging, it's likely caused by an issue with the power, the charger, or the adapter. Here are the troubleshooting steps:
 1. Make sure the pads are placed in the charger right-side-up.
 2. Make sure the electrical outlet on the wall has power. Often, users discover their outlet isn't working or has a switch that wasn't turned on. Plug in a lamp to double check the outlet. Try a different outlet altogether. It's surprising how often this is a problem!
 3. Confirm you are using the correct adapter. If another teacher has a system that is working fine, compare adapters with them. You can read the label on the "black box" section of the adapter, and see that it should say "Triad - Model WSU060-1250" or "V-Infinity Class 2 Power Supply - Model EPS060100." The adapter should have an output of 6.0v, and from 1.0A to 1.25A.
 4. With the adapter plugged in, you can lift up the charging station around the adapter plug and see a blue or red light inside.
 This can be a good sign, though it has happened that this light was shining even though the wrong adapter was being used and the pads wouldn't charge until the correct adapter was used.
 5. Can you try swapping your adapter with another teacher that is known to be working and see if it solves the problem? Adapters fail occasionally.
 6. Can you try swapping your charging station with another teacher that is known to be working and see if it solves the problem? This can show whether yours may be defective.
Note: On a full charge pads should give you 250-300 responses.
Need Further Assistance?
If after these steps your pads are not charging and working, please contact technical support for further assistance at, and please include what steps you tried and what you discovered.

The history of the Depression era in Buffalo and Western New York will gain a little more attention – and likely become more accessible to the public – thanks to a new leadership grant awarded to the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system.
The grant, just under $320,000, was made by the Institute of Museum & Library Services, which awards leadership grants nationally. The federal agency also awarded grants to 51 other museums and libraries across the country, library officials said.
The funding directed to Buffalo is intended as a two-year grant, library officials said, to fund an ongoing project known as "The Public Library as Digitized Commons – A Demonstration Project." The project got started in 2009.
The goal of the project is to create a first-ever catalog of resources related to Buffalo's history from the 1920s and 1930s, according to library officials.
An aim of the project is to make the region's Depression-era history accessible and searchable for the public, and to connect the public with this history in new ways.
"This project will generate deeper collaborations, new types of access to library and regional resources, and new ways to share the stories of our local heritage," Library Director Mary Jean Jakubowski said in a statement.
The Institute for Museum & Library Services is a source of federal support for 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums across the country.

Hash Match
SQL Server 2000
Hash Match
The Hash Match physical operator builds a hash table by computing a hash value for each row from its build input. A HASH:() predicate with a list of columns used to create a hash value appears in the Argument column. Then, for each probe row (as applicable), it computes a hash value (using the same hash function) and looks in the hash table for matches. If a residual predicate is present (identified by RESIDUAL:() in the Argument column), that predicate must also be satisfied for rows to be considered a match. Behavior is slightly different based on the logical operation being performed:
 - For any joins, use the first (top) input to build the hash table and the second (bottom) input to probe the hash table. Output matches (or nonmatches) as dictated by the join type. If multiple joins use the same join column, these operations are grouped into a hash team.
 - For the distinct or aggregate operators, use the input to build the hash table (removing duplicates and computing any aggregate expressions). When the hash table is built, scan the table and output all entries.
 - For the union operator, use the first input to build the hash table (removing duplicates). Use the second input (which must have no duplicates) to probe the hash table, returning all rows that have no matches, then scan the hash table and return all entries.

dc.description.abstractFew studies have been conducted looking at the experiences of graduate students within student affairs/higher education administration program. The purpose of this study was to investigate the coming out experiences of gay men in student affairs/higher education administration programs. The study was conducted with 11 participants, representing seven different student affairs/higher education programs across the United States. The study was intended to answer the following research questions: 1) How do gay men talk about their coming out experience when it occurs during their student affairs preparation program? 2) What environmental factors impact gay men's coming out experiences? 3) What connections do gay men make between the graduate preparation program and the coming out process? Each of the participants took part in two in-depth interviews. The first interview was a life-history interview. The second interview focused primarily on the participants coming out experience and the factors leading to that decision. The findings of this study offer greater understanding on the experiences of gay men in student affairs/higher education preparation programs. First, participants spoke of coming out being a fluid process. Meaning, disclosing one's sexual orientation is an on-going process, not always defined by words, but more often by acts, thoughts, and behaviors. Secondly, environmental factors such as the role of faculty, staff, and classmates, as well as the opportunity to attend graduate school away from home served as support structures for participants in their decision to come out. Third, the academic program contributed to participants' decision to publicly disclose their sexual orientation. Participants discussed the role of the academic curriculum, which provided them the opportunity to engage in conversations on topics germane to gay identity development. In addition activities such as self-reflective exercises allowed the men in the study to make meaning of their sexual identity. In close, three main themes were produce from the data that offer implications for practice, teaching, and future research.

how fast do nails grow?
Enter the experts, please...
How long does it take nails to grow? And, how much faster do they grow on the fingers? The old "rules of thumb" were:
- Fingernails: 6-8 months to grow out fully Thumbnails 8-12 months to grow out fully
- Small toenails 12 months to grow out fully
- Great toenails 12-18 months to grow out fully
Mr. William B. Bean studied his own nail growth for 35 years and published the data in Arch Intern Med, 1974, Vol. 134, 497-502 (30 yrs) and ibid, 1980, Vol. 140, p. 73-76 (35 yrs). He found that nails grow more slowly with age; growth rate at age 32 was 0.123mm/day, but by age 67 had decreased to0.095mm/day. No variation with geographical location, physical activity, or season.
Thumb nails grow faster then the rest of the fingernails. Great toe nails grow faster then other toenails. Toe nails grow slower then fingernails. Umm.... Just like you thought!

"It's like herding cats," Lower Gwynedd Township Manager Larry Comunale said, speaking of just one example of municipal cooperation, the Welsh Road Task Force.
The workshop, moderated by Partnership TMA executive director Peggy Schmidt, focused on the benefits of municipalities teaming up to tackle shared problems.
The Welsh Road Task Force, for example, brought planners from Montgomery Township, Lansdale, Upper Dublin, Horsham and Lower Gwynedd together to devise a plan to minimize traffic congestion in the face of future development.
Comunale said the plan arms participating municipalities with a blueprint they can ask developers to conform to when they apply to build on Welsh Road.
The task force has also applied for a $1.5 million grant for traffic signal synchronization that will ensure traffic flows more smoothly.
Schmidt noted favor is being given to such partnerships by county, state and federal agencies administering grant programs.
Other projects Schmidt highlighted included a Community Coaster, a municipal shuttle program shared by Lower Salford, Franconia, Souderton and Telford. The shuttle serves senior centers, businesses and housing.
The camaraderie among municipalities also ensures construction projects are coordinated and public works crews are aware of common problems and issues like preparing for the winter season.
A final benefit was illustrated by Montgomery Township Planning Commission Chairman Roy Hyman.
Hyman advised the municipal planners about three upcoming developments that will begin construction in the next few months, including a 256-unit apartment complex, a 100-room motel, and a housing complex to include 160 single-family homes.
Hyman advised the municipal planners to "stay away from Upper Sate Road for the next six to nine months."

Korean needs 4.6 hectares of land for living
By Yi Whan-woo
Korea's ecological footprint, or its demand on the ecosystem, is 1.7 times greater than the global average, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Each Korean requires 4.6 hectares of land to live on, exceeding the world's average of 2.7 hectares, the WWF said in the "Living Planet Report."
The nation placed 29th on the ecological footprint list of 149 countries.
An ecological footprint is a measure of how much biologically productive land and sea people require in order to absorb their waste and produce all the resources they consume. The higher the necessary amount, the longer it takes to regenerate biologically productive land and fishing grounds.
The major components of Korea's footprint were the amount of land and sea needed to offset carbon emissions and fishing.
The country with the highest footprint with 11.85 hectares per person was Qatar, followed by Kuwait with 9.72 hectares and the United Arab Emirates with 8.44 hectares.
The global average is expected to go up as China is undergoing rapid economic development. The country was ranked 72nd with 2.1 hectares per person.
The WWF report said the rate has increased since 1970s. The five biggest challenges the Earth faces are the loss of certain natural habitats, overexploitation of wild species' populations, pollution, climatic change and the increase of specific wildlife species.
It also said the Earth would need to be 1.5 times bigger to produce the resources people are consuming to avoid running out of them, adding it may need to be three times bigger by 2050.


Definition of Acute
Acute: Of abrupt onset, in reference to a disease. Acute often also connotes an illness that is of short duration, rapidly progressive, and in need of urgent care.
"Acute" is a measure of the time scale of a disease and is in contrast to "subacute" and "chronic." "Subacute" indicates longer duration or less rapid change. "Chronic" indicates indefinite duration or virtually no change.
The time scale depends on the particular disease. For example, an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) may last a week, while an acute sore throat may only last a day or two.

Previous interest in light hydrocarbons from geothermal systems has focused principally on the origin of the methane1 and the estimation of subsurface temperatures from the carbon isotopic content of coexisting methane and carbon dioxide1-3. Higher molecular weight hydrocarbons were first reported in gases from Yellowstone National Park4, and have since been found to occur commonly in geothermal emanations in the western United States5. Isotopic measurements of individual geothermal hydrocarbons are now reported which help to explain the origin of these hydrocarbons. The thermal decomposition of sedimentary or groundwater organic matter is a principal source of hydrocarbons in four geothermal areas in western North America.?? 1981 Nature Publishing Group.

Stand-alone TypeScript version of three.js math
This module is a rewrite of the following three.js math classes in TypeScript:
- Matrix (interface)
- Vector (interface)
The classes in TSDoc format are available here.
This module is a fork of three-math-ts with the following improvements:
- Reintroduced the Plane class and Plane related methods on classes such as Ray and Triangle.
- Removed deprecated api.
- Tsdoc provided for all classes.
- Test suite with over 430 unit tests ported from three.js.
The decision to fork and extend the three.math repo was motivated by the desire to improve the usability of these cool math classes and the unresponsiveness of the repo owner to respond to an initial set of improvement PRs. An objective of this module's author is to eventually merge into three-math-ts should its author become active and open to contributions.
