What's New
April 2014 - CamRanger is now capable of controlling StackShot!
Sound Activated Triggering
By connecting a microphone to StopShot you can trigger on anything that makes noise. StopShot has a gain control on it to allow the microphone sensitivity to be adjusted. Some examples of pictures that were triggered by sound are shown below. After the trigger is first sensed you can program StopShot to fire the flash or shutter with virtually any delay you wish.
Using StopShot with a microphone is very easy. Simply plug the microphone into the microphone jack and plug the camera or flash into trigger 1. Using the UP button adjust the delay for trigger 1 according to your setup. You can see a diagram below of what the StopShot display will look like. In this case StopShot is programmed to wait 5mS before it fires the camera or flash. 5mS is 5/1000 of a second or 0.005s. This would be a good starting point for capturing a balloon in the middle of popping. Start with the gain in the middle position and adjust it clockwise if you need the microphone to be more sensitive or counterclockwise if you need it to be less sensitive.
Microphone for Sound Activated Pictures
== StopShot==
Trigger 1: 5.0 mS
Trigger 2: off
Trigger 3: off
Shutter lag can be a huge factor when using sound as a trigger. The shutter lag of a high end DSLR is around 50 mS. This is way too much lag to capture many noisy events. Balloons popping, bulbs smashing and cork popping are all examples of events that will be over by the time the camera gets around to actually taking the image. The fix for this it to shoot in a darkened room and have StopShot fire the flash instead of the camera. You will have to hold the shutter of the camera open when creating the event.
Another thing to keep in mind when using sound as a trigger is that sound moves slow... really slow in terms of high speed events. Consider a balloon popping, it takes around 10mS to completely deflate. Sound moves at about 340m/s. If you take your first shot with the microphone at 0.5m and then move the microphone to 1.5m for the next shot you just added 3.4mS of delay to when the flash fires. Your balloon shot goes form being mid pop to completely over by the time the flash fires.
Below are some examples of what is possible with sound triggering. Click on the image to see a larger version.

@ digital marketing | | News-Current-Topics
Google can see several different elements of an image that it can use to help categorize it. This is useful primarily for image search purposes, but also for on-page SEO. Let's go over them.
First up, you have technical details about the image. Google can tell when the file is static or if it's an animated gif, and thus can file it away for that category search in image search results. You also have the file size, the file type, and the image dimensions. These are also used to categorize the image in image search.
Then you have the descriptive elements. Each of these is important, so I'll cover each on its own.

About the Famous Abstract Art Thai Zodiac
In this Famous Abstract Art, our artist features the wholeness of everything in the universe in the center of the artwork. The One Universe symbol shows the subject of unity across the earth, ocean, and sky. The important element in the composition of the One number is Sam Kasat. In Thai words, it means the Three Kings. It is a combination of the three very valuable elements including gold, silver, and copper.
The Three Great Kings of Thailand are King Ramkhamhaeng (the creator of the Thai Alphabet), King Naresuan (Father of Thai Army), and King Taksin (King of Thonburi). Those are the greatest Kings who had made Thailand a better Kingdom. They had a significant role while the Siam Kingdom went through touch times.
Surrounding the One Universe symbol, the artist depicts the Twelve Thai Zodiac-Animals circle. In traditional Thai culture, each animal symbol represents a year cycle in a repeating twelve-year period. The zodiac reflects a person's nature's personality of cycles.

Simplified Internal arc - Structural simulation
Paper i proceeding, 2011
The impact of pressure rise due to an internal arc (IA) event on the structure of a switchgear cubicle is of great importance for a safe design. Switchgear panels are designed for withstanding an internal arc incident as per the testing conditions defined by IEC 62271-200 standard. This paper reports on a calculation procedure employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural finite element method (S-FEM). The approach is targeting a reduced numerical complexity, straight forward modelling, and stressing as little assumptions as possible. In the proposed method, time varying electric power is used as input along with other parameters for solving mass, momentum and energy equations by CFD. The peak pressure and rise time delivered by transient CFD simulation is needed to perform structural simulation. The structural calculation is performed using dynamic load factor.

TODAY'S TED TALK – How racism makes us sick
17:27 minutes · TEDMED 2016
Why does race matter so profoundly for health? David R. Williams developed a scale to measure the impact of discrimination on well-being, going beyond traditional measures like income and education to reveal how factors like implicit bias, residential segregation and negative stereotypes create and sustain inequality. In this eye-opening talk, Williams presents evidence for how racism is producing a rigged system — and offers hopeful examples of programs across the US that are working to dismantle discrimination.

When seeking a hearty winter warm-up in the Savo region of Finland, a good first step is finding the deeply brown dumplings known as myky. Because these dense patties get their rich color and flavor from animal blood, they were often made when animals were slaughtered or brought back from a hunt, and traditionally found their way into mykyrokka, or blood dumpling soup.
Also called tappaiskeitto, meaning "butchery soup," the hearty meal has a history as an all-village affair. People would gather to distribute the butchered meat from whole animals (typically cows or pigs), making some into sausage and using the scraps for soup. Today, families still gather to assemble mykyrokka, mixing offal and chunks of meat with potatoes and onions, and shaping barley flour and blood into the iconic dumplings. When the soup is done, it provides just the sort of rib-coating warmth a body needs during the dark days of Finnish winter.


Apply gradient fill to editable text in Illustrator
For a long time I used Type>Create Outlines to turn my text into objects, then applied a gradient fill. This is fine, but means that your text is no longer editable. I usually created a copy of the editable text before creating outlines and hid it in the layers panel, just in case I needed to edit it later down the line.
But there is a way to keep your text editable AND apply a gradient fill.
 1. Select your text box.
 2. Go to the Appearance palette (make the palette visible by selecting Window>Appearance or shift+F6).
 3. Go to the drop down menu for more optionsat the top right of the Appearance palette.
 Select the drop-down menu in the Appearance palette
 4. Select "Add new Fill".
 5. Now you can select a gradient from the Fill palette.
But wait a minute. That means that there are two fills, one on top of the other. If you look closely you may be able to see the original fill colour behind the new gradient fill. To remove the original solid fill:
 1. Go back to the Appearance palette.
 2. Double-click on Characters, to show the original stroke and fill colours of the text.
 3. Select the Fill colour, and drag it into the trash can in the Appearance palette.
Your text now only has a gradient fill, and is still fully editable.

US Knife Laws
KnifeUp provides, for free, knife law guides for all 50 states. Below is a map of the US, click on the state you are interested in to read about it's knife laws. I try to keep these guides as up-to-date and accurate as possible but, for the law changes a lot, please leave a comment if you see something wrong.
Choose Your State
How the US Justice System Works
The United States was founded under the principals of federalism. Under federalism, governing powers are divided between the federal government as well as the state governments. For states existed before the founding of the US, the writers of the Constitution respected the state's authority by limiting federal powers to only those expressly stated within the Constitution. All other governing powers are, therefore, state powers.
For knife law, the only federal law is the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 as well as the 2009 amendment to the act (see 15 U.S.C. §1244). The federal knife law only applies to individuals who are traveling internationally as well as between states. If you reside in a federal district (see Washington D.C. knife laws), the federal law is the only law that governs knives for you. If you live in one of the 50 states, the federal law would only apply to you if you are traveling from one state to another or if you are entering federal property, such as a military base.
All states have knife laws (click on the map above to find the knife law for a particular state) but some state's knife laws are more up-to-date than others and local municipals often pass their own knife laws as well. For example, if you live in Denver, Colorado, you must abide under the knife laws of Colorado as well as the knife laws of Denver. However, if you travel to Boulder, Colorado (30 minutes away) you must conform to Boulder's knife laws as well. And, during your journey, you must conform to the knife laws of all the municipals in between Boulder and Denver.
This makes knife laws a tricky subject unless your state has a preemption clause. Preemption means that the state government nullifies all knife laws made by municipals. Therefore, when you travel from town to town, you would not have to worry about municipal knife laws.
General Guide to Knife Laws
Knife laws can be divided into these two categories: ownership laws and carry laws.
Ownership Laws
Ownership laws forbid individuals from owning certain types of knives that society has deemed "deadly weapons" or "dangerous." Most of the time, these knives were once associated with unlawful people such as gangs, the mob, and outlaws. It is for this reason that the Bowie knife has been outlawed in so many states.
Carry Laws
Carry laws forbid an individual from carrying, concealed or open, certain knives. For example, some states forbid an individual from conceal carry of knives over a certain length but open carry of that same knife is legal. Other states forbid the carry, concealed and open, of certain knives. Most knives that are barred from carry are ones deemed by society to have no utility uses and, therefore, their only use is as weapons.
Other Laws
Some states have laws that forbid one from aggravated display of a knife as well as committing a crime with a knife. These laws are usually only enforceable after the fact and, for that reason, allows the state to increase the penalty of a crime. For example, robber is a bad crime but robbery with a knife is viewed as an even worse crime and should be punished more than simple robbery.
What is Generally Allowed
If you want to carry a knife that is usually legal everywhere, I highly recommend you buy a knife that is clearly intended for utility use. For example, most pocket knives and all leathermans as well as multi-tools fit this description. As long as the blade is less than 3 or 2.5 inches, you should be fine. Times where this advice might not be true is at: courts, planes, schools, and special buildings that forbid the carry of blades.

 Even with graphics and javascript on, I can't get the map to load. Can you perhaps but a postal abbrev for the states with a hot link to the laws of that state. Thanks Rich
 3. Nellie Hall says:
 The map was not available. What are the laws for MO and KS? Thanks
 4. david says:
 your US map didn't come up when I clicked to this site
 5. Owen says:
 Are not knives covered under the 2nd amendment also?
 Fewer politicians, more statesmen.
 6. Jay Sheldon says:
 As of July 15, 2013 the ownership and carrying of switchblades in Kansas is now legal. You may want to research this and other states for new laws just put in.
 7. Ken Herman says:
 Map does not work in safari, could you add a list of states or a drop down menu, Thanks
 8. Dan says:
 This is a great resource. I found one area where I was potentially illegal and didn't even know it. Thank you very much!
 9. Brent Pendleton says:
 so are you saying that it is legal to own and carry a switch blade in Utah?
 10. Bret Wolfe says:
 I recently came across your site and noticed that the state of Kansas' section has not been updated to reflect the new laws that took effect in summer of 2013.
 "HB2033 repeals all existing local knife laws in Kansas and enacts statewide preemption of any attempt to pass new local knife laws more restrictive than state law. HB2033 also repeals the ban on the possession of switchblades, dirks, daggers and stilettos."
 11. Jonathan says:
 YES! I've been struggling to get clarity on knife laws for a while. This is a very useful resource!
 12. Paul says:
 13. Dennis Bukovcan says:
 Wisconsin now has Concealed Carry weapons permits. This alows you to carry a knife concealed. Still illegal to carry a switch blade though.
 14. Lee Bell says:
 Information on the types of knives that can be owned and how they may be carried is quite useful, thanks.
 What I came here to find out, however, does not seem to be covered. My question is not whether, or what I can carrry, but where I can carry it. Specifically, I live in Florida and will be traveling in Wyoming and South Dakota in the near future. I need to know what the restrrictions are for carry in various places including bars, government buildings, police departments, etc.
 15. David says:
 I share Lee Bell's difficulties. All of my questions about knife laws begin with 'where' and what I really want to know is which states are off limits with particular blades.
 Please consider adding a way for visitors to select the characteristics of a knife and how they intend to carry it. Then, depending on that input, provide an overview of which states allow such a blade. Ideally, I would suggest color-coding the map.
 For example, someone might select fixed, 4″ blade, open carry. Then he or she would see in which states a knife like that would be perfectly legal, in which states it is completely and utterly illegal, in which states it varies by municipality, and in which states a permit is required.
 This is the most accessible resource for knife law I've found, so I hope this feature request doesn't come across as unappreciative or lazy. I just think that indexing basic knife criteria would be useful to a lot of people.
 16. Bryan says:
 If you could add information about federal motor carrier restrictions, I would be very grateful. I can not find any information about it anywhere. Being an interstate tractor trailer driver, I would really like to know these legalities.

Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government Change Management Analysis & Solution
HBR Change Management Solutions
Organizational Development Case Study | S. Ramnarayan, Sunita Mehta
Case Study Description
CV Anand, a senior officer of the Indian Police Service (IPS) was assigned to lead the Food and Civil Supplies Department in the state of Telangana, India by the Chief Minister - the top political executive of the state. Since the role involved policy making and implementation relating to procurement and processing of grains, transportation and distribution to the poorer sections of the society, this was a highly unusual role assignment for an IPS officer. The organization had the responsibility of procuring food grains from farmers at minimum support price, and then after rice milling, arranging distribution to lower income population needing rice at subsidized rates. Anand observed a culture of ritualistic decision making, political power plays, and shortage of talent leading to the neglect of key aspects. The funds crisis had arisen due to non-receipt of dues and there were mounting interest charges. Certain parties were exploiting the system and getting away with it. There were archaic procedures, and corruption at different levels. Anand initiated multiple initiatives in the areas of: organizational aspects, technology and systems. He made conscious efforts to mobilize support. With passion, persistence and hard work, different stakeholders were influenced. Time, energy and commitment were allocated to high leverage activities. Within a year of assuming leadership, the result of turnaround was evident - the funds crisis had eased, bulk of leakages had been plugged and the system had become responsive to the needs of its key stakeholders - the farmers and the needy beneficiaries. Anand knew that he was on a short-term deputation and that he would be transferred to another assignment in the following six to eight months. He was concerned about what he should do in the remaining months to ensure that the changes stick and are not leader-dependent for their continuation.

What is Change Management Definition & Process? Why transformation efforts fail? What are the Change Management Issues in Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government case study?
According to John P. Kotter – Change Management efforts are the major initiatives an organization undertakes to either boost productivity, increase product quality, improve the organizational culture, or reverse the present downward spiral that the company is going through.
Sooner or later every organization requires change management efforts because without reinventing itself organization tends to lose out in the competitive market environment. The competitors catch up with it in products and service delivery, disruptors take away the lucrative and niche market positioning, or management ends up sitting on its own laurels thus missing out on the new trends, opportunities and developments in the industry.
What are the John P. Kotter - 8 Steps of Change Management?
Eight Steps of Kotter's Change Management Execution are -
- 1. Establish a Sense of Urgency
- 2. Form a Powerful Guiding Coalition
- 3. Create a Vision
- 4. Communicate the Vision
- 5. Empower Others to Act on the Vision
- 6. Plan for and Create Short Term Wins
- 7. Consolidate Improvements and Produce More Change
- 8. Institutionalize New Approaches
Are Change Management efforts easy to implement? What are the challenges in implementing change management processes?
According to authorlist Change management efforts are absolutely essential for the surviving and thriving of the organization but they are also extremely difficult to implement. Some of the biggest obstacles in implementing change efforts are –
- Change efforts create an environment of uncertainty in the organization that impacts not only the productivity in the organization but also the level of trust in the organization.
- Change efforts are often targeted at making fundamental aspects in the business – operations and culture. Change management disrupts are status quo thus face opposition from both within and outside the organization.
- Change efforts are often made by new leaders because they are chosen by board to do so. These leaders often have less trust among the workforce compare to the people with whom they were already working with over the years.
- Change management efforts are made when the organization is in dire need and have fewer resources. This creates silos protection mentality within the organization.
- Change management is often a lengthy, time consuming, and resource consuming process. Managements try to avoid them because they reflect negatively on the short term financial balance sheet of the organization.
How you can apply Change Management Principles to Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government case study?
Leaders can implement Change Management efforts in the organization by following the "Eight Steps Method of Change Management" by John P. Kotter.
Step 1 - Establish a sense of urgency
What are areas that require urgent change management efforts in the " Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government " case study. Some of the areas that require urgent changes are – organizing sales force to meet competitive realities, building new organizational structure to enter new markets or explore new opportunities. The leader needs to convince the managers that the status quo is far more dangerous than the change efforts.
Step 2 - Form a powerful guiding coalition
As mentioned earlier in the paper, most change efforts are undertaken by new management which has far less trust in the bank compare to the people with whom the organization staff has worked for long period of time. New leaders need to tap in the talent of the existing managers and integrate them in the change management efforts. This will for a powerful guiding coalition that not only understands the urgency of the situation but also has the trust of the employees in the organization. If the team able to explain at the grass roots level what went wrong, why organization need change, and what will be the outcomes of the change efforts then there will be a far more positive sentiment about change efforts among the rank and file.
Step 3 - Create a vision
The most critical role of the leader who is leading the change efforts is – creating and communicating a vision that can have a broader buy-in among employees throughout the organization. The vision should not only talk about broader objectives but also about how every little change can add up to the improvement in the overall organization.
Step 4 - Communicating the vision
Leaders need to use every vehicle to communicate the desired outcomes of the change efforts and how each employee impacted by it can contribute to achieve the desired change. Secondly the communication efforts need to answer a simple question for employees – "What it is in for the them". If the vision doesn't provide answer to this question then the change efforts are bound to fail because it won't have buy-in from the required stakeholders of the organization.
Step 5 -Empower other to act on the vision
Once the vision is set and communicated, change management leadership should empower people at every level to take decisions regarding the change efforts. The empowerment should follow two key principles – it shouldn't be too structured that it takes away improvisation capabilities of the managers who are working on the fronts. Secondly it shouldn't be too loosely defined that people at the execution level can take it away from the desired vision and objectives.
Step 6 - Plan for and create short term wins
Initially the change efforts will bring more disruption then positive change because it is transforming the status quo. For example new training to increase productivity initially will lead to decrease in level of current productivity because workers are learning new skills and way of doing things. It can demotivate the employees regarding change efforts. To overcome such scenarios the change management leadership should focus on short term wins within the long term transformation. They should carefully craft short term goals, reward employees for achieving short term wins, and provide a comprehensive understanding of how these short term wins fit into the overall vision and objectives of the change management efforts.
Step 7 - Consolidate improvements and produce more change
Short term wins lead to renewed enthusiasm among the employees to implement change efforts. Management should go ahead to put a framework where the improvements made so far are consolidated and more change efforts can be built on the top of the present change efforts.
Step 8 - Institutionalize new approaches
Once the improvements are consolidated, leadership needs to take steps to institutionalize the processes and changes that are made. It needs to stress how the change efforts have delivered success in the desired manner. It should highlight the connection between corporate success and new behaviour. Finally organization management needs to create organizational structure, leadership, and performance plans consistent with the new approach.
Is change management a process or event?
What many leaders and managers at the Anand Telangana fails to recognize is that – Change Management is a deliberate and detail oriented process rather than an event where the management declares that the changes it needs to make in the organization to thrive. Change management not only impact the operational processes of the organization but also the cultural and integral values of the organization.

Disable Recursion on the DNS Server
Updated: October 7, 2009
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
The following procedures provide instructions that you can use to disable recursion on a DNS server.
Recursion is a name-resolution technique in which a DNS server queries other DNS servers on behalf of the requesting client to fully resolve the name and then sends an answer back to the client. By default, the DNS server performs queries on behalf of DNS clients and DNS servers that have forwarded DNS client queries to it.
DNS servers that allow recursion are more vulnerable to denial of service attacks. If a DNS server is not intended to perform recursive queries, you can enhance security by disabling recursion on that server. You should only disable recursion on a DNS server if it is not used for name resolution, or it is only required to provide authoritative DNS responses. When you disable recursion on the DNS server, you cannot use server-level forwarders on the same server.
Warning
Do not disable recursion on a DNS server if it is used by other DNS servers for server-level forwarding, or if DNS client computers use it for name resolution.
Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (_URL_
Disabling recursion on the DNS server

Undertaking a roof tear-off is a significant project that requires careful planning and consideration of various factors, including the size of the dumpster you will need for efficient and convenient Junk Removal. Proper waste management is crucial during roof tear-offs to maintain a safe and organized work environment. In this article, we will discuss the factors to consider when determining the dumpster size for your roof tear-off, with a focus on junk removal and dumpster rental services in Ottawa.
- Roof Size: The size of your roof is one of the primary factors to consider when determining the dumpster size. A larger roof will generate more debris, requiring a larger dumpster. Measure the square footage of your roof to estimate the amount of waste that will be generated during the tear-off process.
- Roofing Material: Different roofing materials have varying weights and densities, which can affect the volume of waste generated. For example, asphalt shingles are relatively lightweight, whereas materials like tile or slate are heavier. Heavier materials may take up more space in the dumpster, so consider the type of roofing material being removed when choosing the dumpster size.
- Debris Disposal Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding debris disposal and dumpster placement. Some areas may have specific rules or limitations on the size and placement of dumpsters. Contact local authorities or consult with junk removal and Dumpster Rental Ottawa to ensure compliance with these regulations.
- Access and Space: Consider the available space at your property for placing the dumpster. Ensure that there is enough room to accommodate the dumpster without obstructing walkways, driveways, or neighboring properties. If space is limited, you may need to opt for a smaller dumpster or make arrangements for an alternative dumpster placement.
- Project Duration: Estimate the duration of your roof tear-off project. A longer project may require a larger dumpster or multiple trips for waste disposal. Discuss the project timeline with junk removal and dumpster rental services in Ottawa to determine the most suitable dumpster size for the duration of your project.
- Consult with Professionals: When in doubt, consult with professionals in junk removal and dumpster rental services. They have experience in handling roof tear-off projects and can provide guidance on the appropriate dumpster size based on the specific details of your project. These professionals can assess your needs, consider the factors mentioned above, and recommend the best dumpster size for your roof tear-off.
By considering the roof size, roofing material, debris disposal regulations, available space, project duration, and consulting with professionals, you can determine the ideal dumpster size for your roof tear-off project. Junk removal and dumpster rental services in Ottawa can assist you in selecting the appropriate dumpster size and provide efficient waste management solutions to ensure a smooth and hassle-free roof tear-off process. Proper waste disposal and management contribute to a safe and organized work environment, allowing you to focus on completing your roof tear-off with ease.

Celtic robes were worn by followers of the goddess religions in ancient Wales and the British Isles. Druid priests still wear the long, hooded white robes that designate their order to Stonehenge Summer Solstice celebrations. Celtic robes that echo ancient times are simple to make.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- White hooded robe (plain)
- Contrasting trim
- 9 foot cording
- Green fabric paint or embroidery thread
Select a white robe, or one in a natural, organic shade. Ancient Celtic robes reflect personal qualities and are central to Druid identity. Consider the weight and texture of the fabric as well as how it fits---Druid priests considered the robes to be their skin.
Add fabric trim that contrasts with the robe or is associated with your favourite god or goddess. Sew the trim from the front bottom edge of the robe, up along the lapel, around the neck and down the opposite lapel to the bottom of the robe.
For a man, embroider or draw a green pentacle on the right sleeve or cuff. Pentacles display the degree of your Druid knowledge and become increasingly ornate with advanced knowledge.
Add a cord in a colour that matches or contrasts with the robe. In ancient times, Druid priests used a rolled cord, called Gwyddon Cord, to measure temples. This cord, used as a belt, is 9 feet long and has 5 knots. Each end is knotted, with a knot precisely in the middle and a knot exactly between each end and the middle knot.

High-income earners are extremely vulnerable during a disability, because they may only have 25-40 percent or less of their income protected through group LTD and Personal DI policies. High Limit Disability Insurance (HLDI) policies offer incredibly high amounts of coverage, with policies that can have coverage limits of $200,000 a month and higher.
Highly compensated people are unable to secure the amount of disability insurance coverage they need due to participation limits. Participation limits refer to the maximum amount of DI coverage offered, including coverage from other DI policies, that an insurance company can issue.
The result is that high-income earners are extremely vulnerable during a disability, because they may only have 25 - 40 percent or less of their income protected. Some forms of income such as commissions, bonuses and a K-1 might also not be covered under a traditional policy.
High-limit disability (HLDI) policies offer incredibly high amounts of coverage, with policies that can be written specifically for individuals and groups. HLDI policies can have coverage limits of $200,000 a month and higher. Also, lump sum payments as high as 10 times an individual's annual income are available to meet the specific needs of a client.
Remember, high income doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with being self-insured against a disability. A high-income earner isn't self-insured against a disability until that individual has enough cash flow from assets to provide support through a disability.
Even then, there are the additional risks of changing interest rates, management of those assets (like real estate) and other market fluctuation that effect the performance of those assets. The problem for high-income earners is no different from anyone who needs to work to make ends meet, except that a high-income earner's needed coverage amounts are much higher.
Ask your client the following:
Access a detailed visual representation of why your clients need HLDI.

With advancing technology in miniature MEMS sensors, wearable devices are becoming increasingly popular, facilitating convenient activity detection. One particular application is in sports performance monitoring. This thesis presents novel real-time jump detection and classification algorithms in skiing and snowboarding using a head-mounted MEMS-based inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU), which is integrated with a barometric pressure sensor. The key performance variables of the jump are extracted and evaluated for training and/or entertainment purposes. In contrast to the existing jump detection algorithms based on acceleration signals, the proposed algorithm uses vertical velocity and air time in addition to acceleration in the vertical direction. A support vector machine (SVM) is applied to generate a classification model. The jumps are classified into four different groups – Ollie, Standard, Drops, and Step up jumps. The experimental results show that by incorporating the velocity and air time into the detection algorithm, the sensitivity and specificity increase dramatically to 92% and 93%, respectively. In addition, the proposed classification model achieved 80.5% accuracy.

Recording and Inputting Speed Data
The Speed Survey Location form (shown at the top left) is used for inputting speed data for individual survey locations. Of course, at least one speed survey must be done first before data can be inputted into the system. Users can print blank radar survey sheets (blank grid reports or blank data collection reports) to take into the field and record survey information.
Once a speed survey has been taken, the data can then be entered into the Speed Survey Analysis System using the Location form. The form has fields for location information, weather and road conditions, speed limit information, collision data, comments, conditions not apparent, and more.
When used in conjunction with the Traffic Collision Database, the Speed Survey System can look up and calculate average daily traffic (ADT) volumes and collision rates.
Ease of Use
Inputting survey location data is incredibly easy because the Location form uses drop-down menus in many of its fields. These menus contain pre-configured lists of data and employ the "auto-match" feature, which fills out potential matches as you type.
Users advance from field to field by simply hitting the <Tab> key, although some fields, known as "fixed length" fields, automatically advance the cursor when the maximum number of spaces has been reached.

How to Create a User Registration Page in Elementor (Without Add-on)
If you want to create a user-generated site with WordPress+Elementor or other site types that allow user registration, the very crucial thing you need to provide is the user registration page. Elementor has no default widget to add a user registration form to a page, but you can add one using the Form widget with a little trick. We will cover it shortly in this article.
Since the Form widget is only available on the Elementor Pro, you need to upgrade your Elementor to the pro version if you haven't done so. Read the differences between Elementor free vs Elementor Pro.
How to Create a User Registration Form in Elementor
Elementor has no default widget to add a user registration form. But, — as mentioned earlier — you can create a user registration using form the Form widget with a little trick. There are two components you will need:
 - The user registration form itself
 - PHP script to add a function to add a new user
Before getting started, we assume that you have been using Elementor for a quite while and have ever created a form using the Form widget before. If you are new to Elementor, you can read the beginners' guide we have written to learn how to use Elementor.
Once you are ready, follow the steps below to start creating a user registration page in Elementor.
Step 1: Create the User Registration Form
First off, create a new page and edit with Elementor. Of course, you can also edit an existing page. On the Elementor editor, add the Form widget to the canvas area by dragging it from the left panel.
Go to the left panel to customize the form. The first option block you need to open is the Form Fields block under the Content tab. The registration form we will create consists of 5 fields as follows:
FieldField TypeLabel
First NameTextFirst Name
Last NameTextLast Name
Username (required)TextUsername
Email (required)EmailEmail
Password (required)PasswordPassword
Form name: Create New User
A crucial thing to note. Make sure to use the field labels precisely the same as the ones on the table above, including the uppercase and lowercase as they will be used as the variables on the PHP script we will use. Also make sure to give your form a name. Again, make sure to use precisely the same name (including the uppercase and lowercase) as the one we use in this example ("Create New User" in this case). Here is the example of the form we created.
Once done setting the form fields, open the Action After Submit block. Since you want to create a user registration form, you can set the action to Redirect.
On the Redirect block, paste the URL where you want your users to be directed after they successfully created a new user. For instance, you can redirect them to the login page of your website.
Open the Additional Options block and enable the Custom Message option. You can replace the Success Message with something like "The user was created."
Your form is now ready. You can publish the page once you are done editing it.
Step 2: Add a New Function to Add a New User
Here is the PHP script to add a new function to add a new user on your WordPress site.
add_action( 'elementor_pro/forms/new_record', 'thewpchannel_elementor_form_create_new_user' , 10, 2 );
function thewpchannel_elementor_form_create_new_user($record,$ajax_handler)
{
 $form_name = $record->get_form_settings('form_name');
 //Check that the form is the "create new user form" if not - stop and return;
 if ('Create New User' !== $form_name) {
 return;
 }
 $form_data = $record->get_formatted_data();
 $username=$form_data['Username']; //Get the value of the input with the label "User Name"
 $password = $form_data['Password']; //Get the value of the input with the label "Password"
 $email=$form_data['Email']; //Get the value of the input with the label "Email"
 $user = wp_create_user($username,$password,$email); // Create a new user, on success return the user_id no failure return an error object
 if (is_wp_error($user)){ // if there was an error creating a new user
 $ajax_handler->add_error_message("Failed to create new user: ".$user->get_error_message()); //add the message
 $ajax_handler->is_success = false;
 return;
 }
 $first_name=$form_data["First Name"]; //Get the value of the input with the label "First Name"
 $last_name=$form_data["Last Name"]; //Get the value of the input with the label "Last Name"
 wp_update_user(array("ID"=>$user,"first_name"=>$first_name,"last_name"=>$last_name)); // Update the user with the first name and last name
}
You can place the code above to the functions.php file of your theme. To do so, go to Appearance -> Theme Editor on your WordPress dashboard. Click the functions.php file on the right panel to edit it and paste the PHP script above to the and section of the functions.php file. Here is the example of the placement.
Click the Update File button beneath the editor to update the functions.php file.
Potential Errors
After your users have successfully created a new account, chances are they won't be able to access the WordPress dashboard even if they have successfully logged in. If you experience this issue, try to change the role of the user to Contributor or the higher role (Author or Editor). To do so, go to Users -> All Users. Hover your mouse over a user you want to change her/his role and click the Edit link.
Scroll down to the Role option and select a new role from the dropdown menu. Cick the Update User button on the bottom to apply the new change.
If you want every newly registered user to have a Contributor role, you can set it (the Contributor role) as a default role. To do so, go to Settings -> General. Scroll down to the New User Default Role option and select a default role you want from the dropdown menu. Don't forget to click the Save Changes button on the bottom to apply the new change.
If you keep wanting new users to have a Subscriber role and want to allow them to access the WordPress dashboard, you can try to fix the issue by temporarily deactivating the active plugins and reactivate them one by one until you see which plugin causes the issue.

 1. Hi,
 Thanks.
 How do I get notifications when new user register.
 I don't receive anything…
 I try with wp_new_user_notification($user_id, null, 'admin'); but get nothing.
 Thanks in advance

 2. While the instructions worked perfectly, I recommend using JetEngine for a simpler solution. It is a smart solution to create a dynamic website with Elementor
 Reply
 - The JetEngine Form module is now a legacy. Crocoblock decided to build a dedicated form builder plugin called JetFormBuilder. Essential Addons from WPDeveloper is a better alternative for a simpler solution.

 3. With this article you saved me 200$ of plugins like uncanny automator, when I just add these two lines of codes and it works like a charm!
 I'd suggest the newbies add this code through the plugin "Code Snippets".

 4. Hi, do you have any ideas for how to do a password field validation? I just want the password to have to be at least 12 characters. Using this code you've provided (which, by the way, is a HUGE help, thank you), a password of any length (even 1 character) is accepted which isn't ideal.
 Here is the page on it from Elementor, but I'm not a developer and was unable to get a working version of this for the password field even after about 3 hours of trying.

 Reply
 - Hi,
 You can add the following snippet to the code, just underneath the password variable (denoted by $password)
 if ( strlen($password) add_error_message("The password length should be bigger than 12 characters"; //add the message
 $ajax_handler->is_success = false;
 return;
 }
 I haven't tested it, so let me know if this works! If not I will take another look for you.

Enable SE models to be populated with external data
Enable SE models to be populated with external data
To maintain a complete overview of the complexity of a project, Relatics offers the possibility to view all data as one coherent whole. This coherent whole is being realized despite the data being managed by Relatics or external applications. As a result, the SE model should be constructed independently of where the data ownership lies. Two things are required to populate Relatics with data managed by an external application: a type element where the ownership is configured as external and an interface to handle the requests. This article explains the first.
Create a type element to be populated with external data*
 1. Create a standard type element, and in the dialog New type element, enter the settings of the type element.
 2. In the dialog New type element, on the tab Advanced, set the Ownership in to External application.
 3. Click on Create. As a result, the dialog is closed, and the new type element is created.
Note:
 - A type element configured as external can have a mix of internal and external properties and relations.
Create a type property to be populated with external data*
 1. Create a type property, and in the dialog New type property, enter the settings of the type property.
 2. On the tab Advanced, set the Ownership in to External application.
 3. Click on Create. As a result, the dialog is closed, and a new type property is created.
Note:
 - The option Ownership in is only available for properties if the type element field Ownership in is configured as External application.
 - The data type attachment is not supported for interfaces.
 - There cannot be an external property named ExternalId in the type element.
Create a type relation to be populated with external data*
 1. Create a type relation, and in the dialog New type relation, enter the settings of the type relation.
 2. On the tab Advanced, set the Ownership in to External application.
 3. Click on Create. As a result, the dialog is closed, and a new type relation is created.
Note:
 - The option Ownership in is only available for properties if the type element field Ownership in is configured as External application.
* In the workspace, the user type of your user must be set to power user to enable this feature.

The Magician's Lie
by Greer Maccallister
Sourcebooks Landmark, 2015. 312 pages. Fiction.
Before an audience's eyes, a man is magically hewn in half and then restored to life. Hours later, the magician's husband is found beaten and murdered. When Officer Virgil Holt miraculously finds Arden, the famous illusionist herself, running from the scene of the crime he takes her into his small country jail to find out the truth. In an attempt to save her life, Arden tells the story of her rise to fame. But is Arden telling the truth, or covering up her crime?
This is a fascinating historical conundrum that reads a lot like The Night Circus and Water for Elephants, detailing the magic industry at the turn of the century. Arden weaves an interesting narrative, judiciously interrupted by Officer Holt in the present, his thoughts reflecting the readers' questions about whether they can believe Arden or not. Although there were times when the narrative style strained at credulity at times (it seemed improbable that Arden would share some of the details she did), Maccallister's tale is both fast-paced and intricate, leaving readers to wonder what is truth and what is illusion until the very end.

Sessions refers to the number of concurrent connections allowed to a SQL database at a time. Workers can be thought of as the processes in the SQL database that are processing queries. The maximum number of sessions and workers allowed depends on your databases's service tier. Blue Matador monitors the sessions_percent and workers_percent metrics so you can know when you've hit the limit.
When the sessions limit is reached, additional connections to the database will be rejected. When the worker limit is reached, clients will receive an error message and will be unable to query your database.
The two possible fixes for reaching the maximum number of sessions: reduce the amount of sessions used by your application, or increase the service tier for your database so there is a higher limit. If your application is using connection pooling, you can configure it so that idle connections are terminated, and limit the number of connections allowed by your application to prevent hitting the limit.
The number of used workers is harder to control since it is not directly tied to the number of sessions. Worker usage can go up during high-usage periods since backed-up queries will consume workers. If you have high worker usage but not session usage, you can use Query Store to analyze your queries to see if specific ones are causing high worker usage.
If you decide to upgrade your database, consult the service tier limits can be found on the following pages to choose an appropriate tier for your session and worker requirements:

Getting the current joint angles for the PR2
Description: This tutorial shows you how to get the current joint angles for the PR2 robot.
Keywords: joint angles display joint_states mechanism state
Tutorial Level: BEGINNER
Overview
In this tutorial, we will show you how to get the current joint angles for the PR2 robot (arm, head, torso, etc.) from within a ROS node, using sensor_msgs/JointState messages.
Before you begin, bring up a robot, either on the hardware or in gazebo.
The joint_states message
The current positions and angles for the robot are by default being broadcast on a message topic called joint_states, of type sensor_msgs/JointState. This message contains arrays of joint names (string[] name), along with the corresponding positions (float64[] position), velocities (float64[] velocity), and efforts (float64[] effort). If you type
rostopic echo joint_states
at the command line after a real or simulated robot has been launched, you can see these messages as they are published.
A handy server
If you happen to want to filter out only a few joint angles and obtain their joint values, you might want to write a server such as this one.
The node we present in this tutorial listens to and keeps track of the most recent joint_states message, and offers a service that returns the current position, velocity, and effort for any set of desired joint names.
The first thing we'll need to do is create a package. To do this we'll use the handy roscreate-pkg command where we want to create the package directory:
roscreate-pkg joint_states_listener rospy sensor_msgs
After this is done we'll need to roscd to the package we created, since we'll be using it as our workspace.
roscd joint_states_listener
Creating the service message
Now we need to define a service message that we can use to ask for specific joint angles, velocities, and efforts. Put the following into srv/ReturnJointStates.srv:
string[] name
---
uint32[] found
float64[] position
float64[] velocity
float64[] effort
Now uncomment the line
rosbuild_gensrv()
in your CMakeLists.txt and type make in the joint_states_listener directory to generate the service message files.
Creating the service node
Put the following into nodes/joint_states_listener.py:
 1 #!/usr/bin/env python
 2 #spins off a thread to listen for joint_states messages
 3 #and provides the same information (or subsets of) as a service

Make the service node script executable. You can then run it using rosrun.

text: ColerainTownship (ImagesofAmerica) (Frank Scholle) ColerainTownship, the largest township in the state of Ohio, was founded in 1794. The first settlement in the township was in 1790, where John Dunlap and a small band of settlers built a little fort on the Great Miami River and named it Fort Coleraine. Later the settlement became known as Dunlap's Station. The township was primarily a rural farming area until the 1950s, when builders began to develop subdivisions. Businesses sprang up and shopping areas followed. From 1950 to 1960, the population almost quadrupled. Today Colerain is a bustling community with several shopping centers, major businesses, and around 63,000 residents.

Motion to oppose changes to the uni 4 bus route.
Proposed by Jessica Wing (_EMAIL_), seconded by Sophie Buck (_EMAIL_)
- That the Universal bus service (formerly known as the 'Uni 4') is the only public transport link between Homerton, the Education Faculty, and the Sidgwick and West Cambridge sites, as well as the hill colleges;
- That students attending Homerton and the Education Faculty make up over 10% of the student body;
- That following the changes approved at the University Planning and Resource Committee (March 2016), as of November 2016 the bus route will no longer service Hills Road, and instead run along the guided busway;
- That the cited reason for this change is an estimated profit of £63,000 p/a; 5. That disabled students in particular will be adversely affected by this route change, which will result in an inequality of access to academic study.
- That neither Homerton nor the Education Faculty were consulted about the decision.
- That disabled students are entitled to equal access to education and social events;
- That the changes to the Universal bus route will create a significant barrier to accessing education and social events for the University's disabled students.
- To oppose the changes to the Universal bus route;
- To support and publicise the petition to oppose and reverse the decision.
Motion for CUSU to limit its promotion of external events to those that have step-free access.
- That CUSU is dedicated to providing events and opportunities for the entirety of the Cambridge student body;
- That the city of Cambridge is notoriously inaccessible to wheelchair users;
- That the ability to book many of the city's accessible rooms and buildings is limited by the availability of funds, and that businesses are far more likely than student societies and groups to have access to these resources;
- That in the majority of cases, events run by external organisations that CUSU advertises are talks and presentations.
- That external organisations advertising presentations, talks, and other similar events should do more to make their events accessible to all members of the student body;
- That CUSU should not endorse businesses that do not at the very least hold events with step-free access.
- To cease promoting and advertising businesses and other external organisations which fail to provide step-free access to their events;
- To more widely publicise this requirement through relevant channels.
Motion to encourage the use of access statements.
MICHAELMAS III (9TH NOVEMBER 2015)
Proposed by Robert Corbyn-Smith (CUSU DSC Disabled Students' Officer), seconded by Richard Birkett (CUSU DSC Computing Officer)
- That without access information, disabled students cannot make informed decisions about the events they attend;
- That a comprehensive access statement includes but is not limited to:
- Describing access into, around and out of the venue or event. For example: whether there is wheelchair access, step-free access or stepped access; whether there are automatic doors; the wayfinding and signage available;
- Describing the facilities the venue or event has. For example: whether there is an accessible or partially accessible toilet; whether there is an induction loop; the seating available;
- Providing a named contact for all access enquiries.
- That access statements are not, currently, widely used across the University;
- That event providers may not be aware of how to provide access information or what information to include in an access statement;
- That a short grace period will allow CUSU to develop and improve existing resources for event providers.
- That providing comprehensive and accurate access information is the first step in making all events accessible to as many students as possible;
- That CUSU needs to do more to ensure disabled students are welcome at and encouraged to participate in events across the University, not just specific disabled students events;
- That not providing access information when advertising events unfairly disadvantages disabled students, regardless of how accessible the event is.
- To work with the Disabled Students' Campaign [DSC] to improve and publicise the access statement generator on the DSC website, and, following an open consultation of disabled students, establish guidelines on what an access statement should minimally contain by the end of Michaelmas 2015;
- From the beginning of Lent term 2016, to include a comprehensive access statement with all CUSU organised events;
- From the beginning of Lent term 2016, to refuse to advertise any event without a suitable accompanying access statement;
- To mandate the CUSU Coordinator, working in conjunction with the DSC, to create a training session on the subject of hosting accessible events, to be delivered at the beginning of Lent term 2016 and open to all students of the University (but targeted specifically towards JCR/MCR/AC Officers and Society Committee Officers).

Released January 29, 2021.
Roughly 220 million tons of MSW are landfilled each year, across 1,500 MSW landfills (MSWLFs). One metric for the cost of disposal is the gate rate or tipping fee, i.e. the amount charged per ton for disposal at the landfill. EREF routinely surveys active MSWLFs across the U.S. to estimate the average MSWLF tipping fee nationally, regionally and on a state-by-state basis. The primary goal of the study is to track changes in MSWLF tip fee, and explore the relationship between tip fee and MSW management practices.
Results from this study will provide insight into the following types of questions:
- What is the average MSWLF tipping fee, and how does it vary across the U.S.?
- Are MSWLF tip fees increasing or decreasing each year?
- How does tip fee correlate to other MSW management practices (e.g. WTE, recycling)?
Interested in previous years' data?

Whole blood and serum blood are two different substances commonly used to determine the blood alcohol content of a person. Both come from drawing blood from someone although serum blood is more heavily processed. You will want to understand the differences between whole blood and serum blood especially in relation to blood alcohol content testing.
Understanding Whole Blood
Whole blood means that the sample that was drawn has not been unnecessarily processed. The blood that is drawn by a technician is technically whole blood. One major difference is that the vial used to collect whole blood will contain a small amount of an anti-clotting agent. This agent stops the blood that was drawn from clotting and turning into a thick substance that cannot be tested or processed. Another difference is that whole blood contains less water than serum making it thicker.
Understanding Serum Blood
Serum blood is drawn in the same way as whole blood. The difference is that there is no anti-clotting agent in the container holding the blood. This means that the blood will begin to clot relatively quickly. The blood is placed onto a centrifuge and spun around. This causes the blood in the container to start to separate. The denser clotted areas move the bottom of the container. A lighter yellowish liquid forms on the top. This thin liquid is called the serum. Serum is not as thick as whole blood. It contains more water. The serum can be extracted from the container and then used for testing with special equipment.
Differences in Testing Techniques
Whole blood and serum blood are tested for alcohol or other substances in different ways. Whole blood is fed into a specific type of machine that extracts the blood alcohol content quickly. Serum blood is tested using different equipment. Only the serum is tested. This is because many of the pieces of equipment used for blood alcohol testing are unable to handle the density of whole blood. The serum is preferred in some cases because it moves more easily through the equipment. One issue is that the higher water content of serum blood provides elevated blood alcohol readings when compared to whole blood. This means the results of a serum blood alcohol test need to be adjusted by around 18 percent in order to get results that are more accurate.
Challenging the Results
There are many ways to challenge the results of both whole blood and serum blood tests in court. Serum blood tests can be challenged because of the number used to adjust the results. This number of called the conversion factor. The factor might not be accurate. Another way to challenge the results is to look at the certifications of the lab. Labs must be individually certified for both whole blood and serum blood testing. If the lab does not have the certification for the type of test performed, then the test might not be valid. Challenging the state and accuracy of the equipment is common as well since contamination and small mistakes could artificially increase the blood alcohol content reported. It is important to talk to a lawyer when whole blood or serum blood tests are performed.
Uncontested Divorce Verdict
"From the start of the case to the finish, Todd and his team worked very closely with me and others to find a solution to my needs and circumstances. The team was helpful, and always provided 24/7 help and coverage. Todd and his team are very supportive, and truly I am fortunate to have found this great team of Los Angeles criminal attorneys. I spoke to several criminal attorneys in Los Angeles, but none of them seemed like they truly cared about helping me, and understanding the situation my family was facing. These guys are pretty awesome, and work with you"

Roman warriors associated hematite with Mars, the Roman God of War. The soldiers used hematite for protection in battles, believing it would make them invincible.
For thousands of years, Hematite has been prized by many cultures. The Egyptians used hematite to calm anxiety. The famous Greek physician/philosopher, Aelius Galenus used it to treat eye infections and as a cure for headaches. Roman soldiers believed that when hematite was rubbed all over their bodies it provided protection during battle. Legend has it that, blood spilled at these ancient Roman battles saturated the ground and seeped into the earth creating this "blood" stone. Native Americans also believed that war paint made from hematite would make one invincible in combat.
Hematite helps with mental organization, balancing energy, enhancing memory and increasing intuition as well as boosts the wearer's self-esteem.

Some say that fish can last 9 or 10 hours in a bag (or even a day or two in some cases). However, it's best for you and your fish if you stick to leaving your fish in the bag for 5 to 7 hours. A lot of fish can stay alive without oxygen for 2 days in shallow water.
How long do you let fish sit in bag?
Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes but no longer than one hour to allow for temperature acclimation. The water in the bag should be the same temperature as that of your tank prior to proceeding to the next step.
How long can fish live in breather bags?
It depends on a host of factors, but in general, fish can easily survive in a bag for about 7 to 9 hours comfortably, and possibly up to two days.
Are plastic bags safe for fish?
A scientific study published by researchers at Haereticus Environmental Laboratory and the University of Maine shows that a chemical in plastic bags made to U.S. FDA food-grade specifications can leach from the bag into seawater at such high concentrations that it can be deadly to fish.
Should you feed new fish right away?
There is no rule to feeding new fish straight after acclimation, but the fish will tell you. Some fish will be out swimming immediately, while others may go and hide. A small feed to test their appetite will show if they are ready to accept food. If not, wait 24 hours and try again.
How many fish should you add at a time?
As a good rule of thumb only add up to 3 fish at a time to your tank. Once you've added the fish to your tank, wait until you've completed a nitrogen cycle and then you can add more fish.
Can fish survive without a filter for a day?
Oxygen is as important to fishes as it is to us for survival. Then it starts hitting the surface of the water for more oxygen. Nevertheless, the fishes are under a lot of stress and they can only survive for almost two days after the oxygen depletion.
How long can fish survive without oxygen pump?
Goldfish and their wild crucian carp relatives can survive for five months without breathing oxygen – and now we know how. The fish have evolved a set of enzymes that, when oxygen levels drop, ultimately helps convert carbohydrates into alcohol that can then be released through the gills.
How many days can a fish go without eating?
As for food, freshwater fish are quite capable of going for several days without a meal. Healthy adult fish can go for a week or two without feeding. However, young fish don't have the fat stores of adult fish and they cannot go without eating very long.
How long do fish live out of water?
On average, fish can live about 10 minutes outside of water but can die faster if they land on an absorbent surface. However, saltwater fish will often live longer, and certain fish, like amphibious fish, have particular adaptations that enable them to last for a long time outside of the water.
How long fish live in tap water?
Ordinary tap water is fine for filling up the aquarium as long as you let it sit for several days before adding fish (the chlorine in the tap water will kill the fish).
How long do pet fishes live?
Is it better to feed fish in the morning or at night?
When Should I Feed My Fish? In nature, most fish feed in the early morning and at dusk. Exceptions are herbivores and omnivores that forage throughout the day, and nocturnal species. Although aquarium fish can be fed at any time of day, morning and evening feedings are best.
Do fishes sleep?
While fish do not sleep in the same way that land mammals sleep, most fish do rest. Research shows that fish may reduce their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to danger. Some fish float in place, some wedge themselves into a secure spot in the mud or coral, and some even locate a suitable nest.
Do you have to wait 24 hours to put fish in tank?
If you introduce bottled bacteria and water from an established tank at the shop, the nitrogen cycle can be completed after 24 hours. It will take about a day for the chemicals to eliminate chlorine and bacteria to bring ammonia and nitrates to healthy levels for fish to live in.
Can a fish survive in milk?
The simple answer is "no," but the nuanced response sheds light on how fish, and all other organisms, function. Fish have evolved over many millions of years to survive in water with a certain amount of dissolved oxygen, acidity, and other trace molecules.
Do you leave fish tank light on at night?
Proper aquarium lighting is essential to fish and plants, but so is the period of darkness for them to rest and replenish. Thus, it's best to turn off your aquarium lights at night to mimic plants and fish natural light cycle.
Should I turn off filter when feeding fish?
If your filter is pushing water downwards then it can be a good idea to switch the filter off during feeding to prevent this — just be sure to switch it on again afterwards! It might also be worth considering feeding in smaller quantities so the fish can gobble up most of the food before it reaches the bottom.
Can I turn my fish tank filter off for one night?
It is not a good idea to turn off your aquarium filter every night. The filter plays a key role in the health of your tank, and shutting it down for hours at a time can eventually lead to problems. Second, your filter helps to aerate the water.
How long can a fish live in a small container?
A fish can survive in shallow water conditions for about 2 days, and may even live for up to a week if it is the only fish in the container. In a crowded situation, fish will compete for more oxygen, which will lead to a depletion of the gas – meaning that they may not last for 2 days. What is this?.
Can fish live in bowls?
Specifically, a bowl cannot provide an adequate living environment for any fish, big or small. So, give the fish under your care what they need and deserve: the biggest, healthiest home possible.

This paper considers an approach to solving the problem of binary classification of objects. This approach is based on representing one of the classes by a sequence of Gaussian mixtures with further introduction of threshold decision rules. A method of constructing hierarchical sequences of Gaussian mixtures using the partial EM algorithm is proposed. We compare classifiers that use single Gaussian mixtures, cascades based on sequences of independent mixtures, cascades based on hierarchical sequences of mixtures, and classifiers that use trees of Gaussian densities for decision making. The theoretical estimates of computational costs for these classifiers are provided. The classifiers are tested on simulated data. The results are presented as the relations between the computational cost of classification and the obtained values of error criteria.
