849. Maximize Distance to Closest Person
Problem Description
In this problem, we are provided with an array seats that represents a row of seats. Each seat can be either occupied (denoted by 1) or empty (denoted by 0). We know that there is at least one empty seat and at least one occupied seat in the array. The objective is to find a seat for Alex where, if he sits down, the distance to the nearest person already seated is as large as possible. The distance is defined as the number of seats between Alex's seat and the closest seated person, and we need to maximize this distance to ensure maximum possible personal space for Alex. Our goal is to calculate and return this maximum distance.
Intuition
The intuition behind the solution is to identify the longest stretch of consecutive empty seats, with consideration of the edge cases where the longest stretch might actually start at the beginning of the row or end at the last seat in the row.
Here are key insights to form a strategy:
 1. Identify stretches of empty seats and find the longest stretch. This corresponds to finding the largest gap between two occupied seats.
 2. Special consideration for the first and last seats: If the first or last seats are empty, the gap is counted from the edge of the row to the first or last occupied seat respectively. This needs special handling since the "distance" in this case is not halved—it is taken as the entire length of the stretch.
 3. Find the longest stretch: To maximize the distance to the nearest person, Alex can sit exactly in the middle of the longest stretch of empty seats. The maximum distance to the closest person would then be half the length of this longest stretch. However, if this stretch is at the beginning or end of the row, he will sit at the first or last available seat, resulting in the distance being the entire length of this stretch.
The approach to solving the problem involves iterating through the seats array to identify the first and last occupied seats, and in the process, also recording the maximum distance between two consecutive occupied seats. The maximum distance Alex can sit away from the closest person would then be the maximum of the following three values:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat.
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row.
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (since Alex would sit exactly in the middle of this stretch).
This method efficiently calculates the optimal seat for Alex in a single pass through the seats array, avoiding the need for multiple iterations or complex calculations.
Solution Approach
The solution approach involves a single pass through the row of seats using a for-loop. During this pass, the code keeps track of the index of the first and last occupied seats, as well as the distance to the last occupied seat seen so far when examining each seat. The following elements contribute to the solution:
Variables Used:
 - first: This holds the index of the first occupied seat found in the row. Initially, it is set to None.
 - last: This stores the index of the most recently found occupied seat as we iterate through the seats. It is also initially set to None.
 - d: This variable maintains the maximum distance between two occupied seats as the iteration progresses. We initialize it to 0.
The Algorithm:
 1. Iterate through the seats array with the index i and the value c using the enumerate function, which provides both the index and value during the iteration.
 2. Check if the current seat c is occupied (i.e., c is 1):
 - If an occupied seat is found and it's not the first one (last is not None), update d with the maximum value between the current d and the difference between the current index i and the index of the last occupied seat last.
 - If this is the first occupied seat found (first is None), store its index in first.
 - Update last with the current index i because it is the latest occupied seat.
 3. After completing the iteration, calculate the maximum distance Alex can be from the closest person by taking the maximum of three potential values:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat (first).
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row (len(seats) - last - 1).
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (d // 2).
The Code:
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 first = last = None
4 d = 0
5 for i, c in enumerate(seats):
6 if c:
7 if last is not None:
8 d = max(d, i - last)
9 if first is None:
10 first = i
11 last = i
12 return max(first, len(seats) - last - 1, d // 2)
This implementation uses a greedy approach to find the maximum distance in an efficient manner. No additional data structure is required aside from a few variables to keep track of indices and the maximum distance found. Because of this, the space complexity is O(1), and since we are iterating through the array only once, the time complexity is O(n), where n is the number of seats in the row.

Example Walkthrough
Imagine we have an array seats that looks like this: [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0].
To apply our solution approach, let's walk through the algorithm step by step:
 1. Initialize: first = last = None and d = 0.
 2. Begin iterating through the seats array with indices and values.
 3. At index 0, the seat is empty, so no changes are made.
 4. At index 1, the seat is occupied so:
 - Since this is the first occupied seat we've found, set first to the current index (first = 1).
 - Update last to be the current index as well (last = 1).
 5. Continue iterating. Seats 2 and 3 are empty, so no changes.
 6. At index 4, we encounter another occupied seat.
 - Since last is not None, we calculate the distance from the previous occupied seat at index 1 to the current seat at index 4, which yields a distance of 3. Update d to be the maximum of 0 and 3, so d = 3.
 - Update last to the current index (last = 4).
 7. Move on to seat 5 which is empty, so no changes.
 8. At index 6, there is another occupied seat.
 - Again, calculate the distance (1) and compare it with d. Since 1 is less than 3, we do not update d.
 - Update last to 6.
 9. Seats 7, 8, and 9 are empty, so no changes occur during these steps.
Once we've finished iterating through the array, we consider the maximum distance from the following:
 - The distance from the start of the row to the first occupied seat (first = 1).
 - The distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row (len(seats) - last - 1 = 10 - 6 - 1 = 3).
 - Half the distance of the longest stretch of empty seats between two occupied seats (d // 2 = 3 // 2 = 1).
The maximum of these values is 3, which is accounted for by both the distance from the last occupied seat to the end of the row and from the first seat in the row to the first occupied seat. Alex can choose either seat at the start or the end of the row for the maximum distance to the closest person, hence we return 3 as the result.
Here's the walkthrough reflected in the provided code:
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 first = last = None
4 d = 0
5 for i, c in enumerate(seats):
6 if c:
7 if last is not None:
8 d = max(d, i - last) # At index 4 and index 1, d becomes 3
9 if first is None:
10 first = i # At index 1, first becomes 1
11 last = i # Updates at indices 1, 4, and 6
12 return max(first, len(seats) - last - 1, d // 2) # Returns max(1, 3, 1) which is 3
By iterating through the array only once and using a simple set of variables to keep track, we find the maximum distance where Alex can sit with a time complexity of O(n) and a space complexity of O(1).
Solution Implementation
1class Solution:
2 def maxDistToClosest(self, seats: List[int]) -> int:
3 # Initialize the first occupied seat index and last occupied seat index to None
4 first_occupied_seat_index = None
5 last_occupied_seat_index = None
6 max_distance = 0 # Initialize the maximum distance to 0
7
8 # Iterate over each seat and its index in the seats list
9 for i, seat in enumerate(seats):
10 # Check if the seat is occupied
11 if seat == 1:
12 # If there was a previously occupied seat, calculate the distance between
13 # the current occupied seat and the last occupied seat and

text: Two hundred and fifty male 1-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders on meat quality and lipid peroxidation of broilers under heat stress condition. The five treatment groups were control (recommended temperature for Ross 308), heat stressed (32 ± 1 ˚C from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during finisher period) and heat stressed birds fed with 0.50% turmeric, 0.50% cinnamon and a blend of cinnamon and turmeric (0.25% turmeric + 0.25% cinnamon). The results showed that there were no significant differences between the treatments for ether extract, ash and crude protein contents of thigh meat at 42 day of age ( p > 0.05). Heat stress decreased the pH value and dry matter (DM) content of thigh meat, whereas the consumption of all experimental diets (turmeric, cinnamon and both of them) compensated the decreased pH and DM values due to heat stress to some extent but could not restore them to the level of control treatment ( p < 0.01). Furthermore, the thigh meat lightness was increased under heat stress ( p < 0.05). The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and free radicals scavenging activity were increased in thigh meat of broilers reared under heat stress ( p < 0.05), while these parameters were reduced by the combination of both plants ( p < 0.01). It was concluded that heat stress reduces antioxidant properties and quality of thigh meat and dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders together can remove the detrimental effects of heat stress on meat quality.

Every day, we see Victorian clients facing crippling uncertainty about their fines that are a direct consequence of their homelessness. Although the new fines system has some positive reforms for people experiencing homelessness, many are not working in practice. The need for further reforms to Victoria's fines system was recognised by the Fines Reform Advisory Board's recommendations in December 2020 and the Victorian government's response.
The first opportunity is to introduce a reformulated special circumstances 'nexus test', which will make the fines review process fairer and more accessible. The second opportunity relates to making Fines Victoria's fines-enforcement review decisions final and binding. If both of these recommendations are implemented, they would reduce the adverse impact of fines on Victorians experiencing homelessness, as well as improve efficiencies and decrease the backlog of matters for Fines Victoria and the Magistrates' Court.
As Victorians continue to feel the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, improving the fines system is essential for our community's recovery process.

Satellite-based payload certification plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and safety of satellite systems. With the increasing reliance on satellites for various applications, such as communication, navigation, and remote sensing, it is essential to have a rigorous certification process in place. This article explores the importance of satellite-based payload certification and its significance in the ever-evolving field of satellite technology.
Satellites are complex systems that consist of various components, including the payload, which is responsible for carrying out the intended mission. The payload can range from communication antennas to imaging sensors, depending on the satellite's purpose. The certification process for these payloads involves a series of tests and evaluations to ensure their functionality, performance, and compliance with industry standards.
One of the primary reasons why satellite-based payload certification is crucial is to guarantee the reliability of satellite systems. Satellites are often deployed in harsh environments, including space, where they are exposed to extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum conditions. These conditions can have a significant impact on the performance and functionality of the payload. Through certification, engineers can identify potential issues and design payloads that can withstand these challenging conditions.
Moreover, payload certification also ensures the safety of satellite systems. Satellites are launched into space using powerful rockets, and any failure during the launch can have catastrophic consequences. Payload certification involves testing the payload's structural integrity and its ability to withstand the vibrations and shocks experienced during launch. By certifying the payload, engineers can minimize the risk of failure and ensure the safety of both the satellite and its surroundings.
Another important aspect of satellite-based payload certification is its role in meeting regulatory requirements. Satellites are subject to various regulations, both at the national and international levels. These regulations often include specific requirements for payload performance, frequency allocation, and interference mitigation. By certifying the payload, satellite operators can demonstrate compliance with these regulations and ensure that their systems operate within the designated frequency bands without causing interference to other satellite systems.
Furthermore, payload certification also contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of satellite systems. By certifying the payload's performance and functionality, engineers can optimize the design and operation of the satellite. This optimization can lead to improved data quality, increased data transmission rates, and enhanced system reliability. Ultimately, these improvements translate into better services for end-users, whether it be high-speed internet access, accurate weather forecasting, or real-time monitoring of natural disasters.
In conclusion, satellite-based payload certification is of utmost importance in the field of satellite technology. It ensures the reliability, safety, regulatory compliance, and overall efficiency of satellite systems. As the demand for satellite-based services continues to grow, the need for robust payload certification processes becomes even more critical. By certifying the payload, engineers can address the challenges posed by the harsh space environment, mitigate the risks associated with launch, meet regulatory requirements, and optimize the performance of satellite systems. Ultimately, payload certification plays a vital role in enabling the seamless operation of satellites and the delivery of essential services to users worldwide.

International mining group Rio Tinto and the University of Sydney have announced a five year continuance of their multimillion dollar research partnership aimed at increasing mining autonomy.
The Rio Tinto Centre for Mine Automation (RTCMA) based at the University's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies has been working with the global mining company on the development and deployment of technologies for fully autonomous, remotely operated mining processes since 2007.
The research partnership's next phase will provide a step-change improvement in safety, predictability, precision and efficiency of typical surface mining operations through automation.
Dr Steve Scheding, RTCMA Director and principal research engineer at the centre said:
"The range of programs under way at RTCMA crosses areas such as sensing, machine learning, data fusion and systems engineering."
"The Centre's work so far has resulted in a number of major research advancements targeted at improving the safety and productivity of autonomous operated mining sites."
"One of our projects has created autonomous mining drill rigs that can bore holes into the ore body efficiently and reliably. This autonomous capability also allows the operator of the rig to be located in a much safer area of the mine site - or indeed anywhere on the planet. This increases the safety of the operator, and also greatly improves drilling precision in operations."
The centre will also continue its training program that is educating the next generation of mining automation engineers and technicians.
John McGagh, Head of Innovation at Rio Tinto said the company looked forward to its continuing relationship with the University's research team.
"Our technology professionals have worked alongside top notch research minds to achieve our goals.
"With mining increasingly taking place in remote parts of the world, tomorrow's mines are likely to rely on remote monitoring and control, with employees running the mines from cities thousands of kilometres away.
"With the input of the best academic minds we are already making this a reality. We remotely manage the automated operation of our iron ore mines in Pilbara region from our Perth based offices.
The mining giant also reached a significant milestone earlier this year with its autonomous haul trucks moving 200 million tonnes of earth in the Pilbara region.
"The autonomous haul trucks are a key component in Rio Tinto's strategy of employing next-generation technology to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve health, safety and environmental performance," said Mr McGagh.


text: Integration of vibration energy harvesters (VEHs) with small-scale electronic devices may form an attractive alternative for relatively large batteries and can, potentially, increase their lifespan. However, the inherent mismatch between a harvester's high-frequency resonance, typically in the range 100 - 1000 Hz, relative to the available low-frequency ambient vibrations, typically in the range 10–100 Hz, means that low-frequency power generation in microscale VEHs remains a persistent challenge. In this work, we model a novel electret-based, electrostatic energy harvester (EEH) design. In this design, we combine an out-of-plane gap-closing comb (OPGC) configuration for the low-frequency oscillator with an in-plane overlap comb configuration for the high-frequency oscillator and employ impact for frequency up-conversion. An important design feature is the tunability of the resonance frequency through the electrostatic nonlinearity of the low-frequency oscillator. Impulsive normal forces due to impact are included in numerical simulation of the EEH through Moreau's time-stepping scheme which has, to the best of our knowledge, not been used before in VEH design and analysis. The original scheme is extended with time-step adjustments around impact events to reduce computational time. Using frequency sweeps, we numerically investigate power generation under harmonic, ambient vibrations. Results show improved low-frequency power generation in this EEH compared to a reference EEH. The EEH design shows peak power generation improvement of up to a relative factor 3.2 at low frequencies due to the occurrence of superharmonic resonances.


Symbols on ax pieces in China may be world's oldest writing
 | July 11, 2013 at 3:50 PM
SHANGHAI, July 11 (UPI) -- Fragments of two ancient stone axes found in China bear what could be some of the world's earliest primitive writing, archaeologists say.
Discovered as part of a large find of artifacts unearthed south of Shanghai, the ax fragments have been dated at around 5,000 years old, the BBC reported Thursday.
Currently, evidence of the world's oldest writing is thought to be from Mesopotamia from 3,300 B.C.
There has been disagreement among Chinese experts whether the markings on the axes are actual writing or a less sophisticated grouping of symbols.
"The main thing is that there are six symbols arranged together and three of them are the same," lead archaeologist Xu Xinmin said. "This clearly is a sentence expressing some kind of meaning."
Cao Jinyan, a Chinese scholar who is an expert on ancient writing, agreed.
"Although we cannot yet accurately read the meaning of the 'words' carved on the stone axes, we can be certain that they belong to the category of words, even if they are somewhat primitive," he said.

Semilogarithmic plot
h = semilogy(...)
semilogy plots data with logarithmic scale for the y-axis.
semilogy(Y) creates a plot using a base 10 logarithmic scale for the y-axis and a linear scale for the x-axis. It plots the columns of Y versus their index if Y contains real numbers. semilogy(Y) is equivalent to semilogy(real(Y), imag(Y)) if Y contains complex numbers. semilogy ignores the imaginary component in all other uses of this function.
semilogy(X1,Y1,...) plots all Yn versus Xn pairs. If only one of Xn or Yn is a matrix, semilogy plots the vector argument versus the rows or columns of the matrix, along the dimension of the matrix whose length matches the length of the vector. If the matrix is square, its columns plot against the vector if their lengths match.
semilogy(X1,Y1,LineSpec,...) plots all lines defined by the Xn,Yn,LineSpec triples. LineSpec determines line style, marker symbol, and color of the plotted lines.
h = semilogy(...) returns a vector of handles to lineseries graphics objects, one handle per line.

text: Firms are increasingly opening up their innovation efforts to allow users to tap into the benefits they can offer, such as mobile data service (MDS) innovation on iOS and Google Android platforms. For this purpose, platforms typically provide toolkits to facilitate user participation, aiming to create an ecosystem for sustainable innovation. However, with the barriers to user innovation and attrition of existing innovators, it could be challenging for firms to attract and sustain users' MDS innovation. With the possible benefits from user innovation, and considering the challenges faced, firms need to understand how to influence potential user innovators to take part and to encourage extant user innovators to innovate again. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research and understanding of what drives users' intentions to innovate services and the differences in the antecedents of such intention between potential and actual user innovators. Further, although prior studies have suggested that toolkits can support user innovation, little research has theorized and empirically tested their influence. Motivated thus, this study proposes a model based on (1) user innovation theory to explain the antecedents (including toolkit support) of user MDS innovation intention and (2) construal level theory to explain the differential effects of the antecedents for actual and potential user innovators. We tested the model through survey data from potential and actual MDS user innovators on Google Android and iOS platforms. We find that trend leadership and anticipated extrinsic reward influence both potential and actual user innovators' intentions to innovate. However, anticipated recognition and toolkit support affect only actual user innovators, while anticipated enjoyment affects only potential user innovators. Interestingly, toolkit support strengthens the influence of anticipated enjoyment for actual user innovators but weakens its influence for potential user innovators. Further, potential user innovators value anticipated extrinsic rewards less than actual innovators do. The implications for research and practice are discussed.

Creating Formulas in a Catalog
This section introduces creating formulas in a catalog. In a report that uses business view as the data source, you can also create dynamic formulas to use in the report specifically.
This topic includes the following sections:
See also Formula Fields for how to work with formulas as component in a report.
Predefining Formulas in a Catalog
You can predefine formulas in a catalog so as to use them directly in reports.
 1. Open the required catalog.
 2. In the Catalog Manager, expand the data source in which to create the formula, then:
 - Select the Formulas node or any existing formula in the data source and select New Formula on the Catalog Manager toolbar.
 - Right-click the Formulas node in the data source and select New Formula on the shortcut menu.
 3. In the Enter Formula Name dialog, provide a name for the formula and select OK. The Formula Editor appears.
 Formula Editor
 4. Compose the formula by selecting the required fields from the Fields panel (including DBFields, other formulas, summaries and parameters in the current catalog data source and some special fields), functions from the Functions panel (including the built-in functions and user defined functions), and operators from the Operators panel. When the predefined formulas, summaries and parameters cannot meet you requirement, you can create new formula, summary and parameter to be referenced by the formula using the New XXX option on the toolbar. The newly created objects are saved into the same catalog data source as the formula. You can also write the formula by yourself in the editing panel. You should have some knowledge of the formula syntax before you can successfully compose a formula with no errors.
 5. Make use of the buttons on the toolbar above the editing panel to edit the formula. To comment a line, select the Comment/Uncomment button Comment/Uncomment button on the toolbar. If you want to bookmark a line so that it can be searched easily later, select the Add Bookmark button Add Bookmark button. To check whether or not the syntax of your formula is correct, select the Check button Check button.
 6. Select OK to add the formula.
Notes:
 - If you refer to any field in the formula, the reference name for that field will be prefixed with an @ sign. If the field name contains spaces, the reference name in formula will be quoted with double-quotation marks (""). For example, if the field name is Customer Name, then the reference name will be @"Customer Name".
 - When formulas reference display names or mapping names, the names should not contain any of following characters if the names are not quoted by double-quotation marks "":
 "~", "'", "!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "-", "+", "=", "{", "}", "[", "]", "|", "\\", ":", ";", "\", " ' ", "<", ",", ">", ".", "?", "/"
 Examples:
 - Expression @Customer#; will cause a syntax error. But @"Customer#" is ok.
 - If a field has the display name Category.Measure, when adding it to a formula, quote it as "Category.Measure" or "Category"."Measure".
 - The number of the "if-else" statements in a formula is limited to 190. When this number is reached, you should use the "select-case" statement instead.

Creating Formulas in a Catalog When Needed
Besides predefining formulas in a catalog via the Catalog Manager, Logi Report Designer also provides you quick access to create formulas in a catalog from the UI where a formula list is available, for example in the Resources box of the component wizard. In this formula list, the <New Formula...> item is provided on the top. By selecting the item, you can create any formulas you want with the Formula Editor, which are then added into the current catalog.

Referencing Parameters in Formulas
A formula which references parameters will return values according to the parameter values. To reference a parameter in a formula, follow the syntax: @ParameterName.
Assume there is a type-in parameter pCompany of String type, you can reference it in a formula to display the URL for a company dynamically.
 1. Create a formula named CompanyURL in the Formula Editor as follows:
 "http://www." + @pCompany + ".com"
 Here, you can either manually type @pCompany, or you can select it from the Parameters node in the Fields panel (if you choose this way, the @ sign will be automatically inserted).
 2. Insert the formula into a report.
 3. View the report result, and type the string Jinfonet when prompted to specify the parameter value for pCompany. You will then find that the value of the formula becomes _URL_.
There may be times you need to display the value of a multi-valued parameter. The built-in function join() assists with that. For example, the following expression will show a list of selected states separated by commas:
"Selected States : " + trim(join (@pStates,",")) + "\r\n"
Back to top
Referencing Special Fields in Formulas
You can also reference some special fields in formulas in the format fieldname. These special fields include: User Name, Print Date, Print Time, Fetch Date, Fetch Time, Modified Date, Modified Time, Record Number, Page Number, Global Page Number, Total Records and Total Fetched Records. They can all be divided into two types (page level and constant level) according to the time when their values are ready.
Page level
The value of this special field is ready at the time when the report result is generated. A formula which references a page-level special field is treated as a page-level formula. In which, the formula is calculated more than once.
The special fields of this type are: Fetch Date, Fetch Time, Print Date, Print Time, Record Number, Page Number, Global Page Number, Total Records and Total Fetched Records.
Constant level
The value of this special field is ready at any time before the engine runs. A formula which references a constant-level special field is treated as a constant-level formula, and is calculated only once.
The special fields of this type are: User Name, Modified Date and Modified Time.

Using DBArray in Formulas
Logi Report Designer supports a multiple-value field, which contains a set of values in a single field, in a formula. Using the multiple value field is the same as using an array in a formula. You can refer to a field with multiple values as with a normal field in a formula, such as @FIELDNAME, and then use the array functions that Logi Report Designer provides in the Formula Editor to manipulate the values in it. Logi Report Designer first converts this field into a normal array, and then manipulates it in the usual way.
For example, normally an array in a formula is manually defined as follows:
Integer myArray[4]=[1, 2, 3, 4]; //Datatype ArrayName[ArraySize]=[ArrayContent];
The array may be referred to in this way:
integer myInt=3;
myInt in myArray;
If a field, named myField for example, contains a similar array value, it can be referred to similarly:
integer myInt=3;
myInt in @myField;
If you want to display all the values of an array, you can use the join() function to return a string of all the values.

Formula Examples
Example 1: TerritoryUSA
In your sales report, you want Logi Report to print out which territory the customer belongs to according to the abbreviated state names stored in the State field. You can write the formula as follows:
if (@State in ["CT", "ME", "MA", "NH", "NY", "RI", "VT"]) {
 "NorthEast, USA";}
else if ( @State in ["DC", "DE", "MD", "NJ", "PA", "VA"]) {
 "MidAtlantic, USA";}

Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. is the world's largest McDonald's franchisee, and it operates the brand in Latin America and the Caribbean. It has announced that from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, all its restaurants will turn off their outdoor lights in support of Earth Hour.
Earth Hour was started 10 years ago, by the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) to increase awareness of climate action. Each year, Earth Hour unites millions of people around the globe in the world's largest grassroots movement. This year will be McDonald's Virgin Islands ninth year participating.
"For Arcos Dorados it is very important to participate in Earth Hour, since it is in line with the company's philosophy. Every day, we try to leave a smaller mark on our planet by managing waste from our restaurants in a responsible way and implementing actions to reduce water and power consumption, and source local ingredients for a more effective supply chain," said Lyana Latorre, senior director of corporate social engagement at Arcos Dorados.
Arcos Dorados has a strong commitment to the planet thereby contributing by carrying out different actions:
- Reuse of condensed water drained from air-conditioning systems of restaurants to irrigate gardens, wash facades and different areas of the premises such as the Drive-Thru. The use of recycled water allows for the reduced consumption of water and energy.
- Installation of Low Oil Volume (LOV) fryers in restaurants. This technology saves up to 40 percent of oil and requires less energy to heat up.
- Green Restaurants: They are built or redesigned to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification in which rainwater collectors are used for the cleaning of parking lots and flushing toilet bowls. They have a wind-powered installer that allows them to generate electricity using the wind, as well as having LED (Low Emitting Diode) luminaires that use less energy. These restaurants are in Argentina, Brazil, México and Puerto Rico.
- Other measures taken by the Company to protect the planet are: have 100 percent sustainable coffee certified by the Rainforest Alliance in the different markets and sustainable fish certified by the Marine Stewardship Council; as well as working alongside the Global Roundtable of Sustainable Beef to develop the standard and serve meet from sustainable practices.

If your cutting machine is not powering on when you press the power button, check all points listed below to find the source of the concern.
1. Check the Power Button
If the machine is not powering on, sometimes the power button has simply not been pressed firmly.
Attempt to firmly press and hold down the power button for 3 seconds.
2. Check the Cord Connections
Check the power cord connection to make sure the power cord is firmly connected at all points as follows:
- Completely unplug the power cord from the Silhouette machine and then firmly plug it back into the machine
- Remove the plug from the wall or power strip and then firmly plug it back into place
- If using a power strip, double-check to ensure the power strip is powered on
3. Check the Power Source
In order to rule out the power source as the concern, try plugging the power cord into an alternate outlet that is known to work with another device.
4. Check the power cord
If you have an alternate Silhouette brand power cord from another Silhouette machine, swap it out to test the power cord.
If you have another brand cord that is compatible, you can test it as well. The power cord should match the following specifications:
Input: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz, 1.2A
Output: +24V - 1.25A (up to 2.0A)
Output polarity: Positive center
NOTE: We do not recommend buying another cord to perform this test if you do not already have access to one
5. Run Power Test
After reviewing all of the above, attempt the following:
- Unplug the power cord from the side of the cutting machine
- Press and hold the power button
- While holding down the power button, plug the power cord back into the machine and continue to hold the power button for 10 seconds
- Release the power button
If the light on the machine does not illuminate, then this indicates a power failure.
If the light on the machine illuminates but you are unable to use the machine, this would indicate a bricked firmware issue.
If you have reached this point without resolution, please contact _EMAIL_ with the following information:
- Your machine model
- Serial number (located on the back of the machine)
- Power cord in use
- Confirmation of the power test from Step 5 above
- Provide a video showing confirmation that all connections are made while the machine is not powered on


Have you ever needed to copy the phone number from an incoming call that's not associated with one of your contacts? In the Phone app's Recents screen, you can't select the number to copy it, but there's a hidden workaround. Tap the i-phone-app-inline button next to the call, and then press and hold the number for a second or two until a Copy button appears. (It's not a 3D Touch press, just a normal press without removing your finger right away.) Tap Copy and you can then paste that phone number into Mail, Messages, Notes, or any other app. To paste, tap where you want the number to go and tap the Paste button that appears.

The annual cost of enjoying a moderate standard of living in retirement has risen by £8,000 in a year, according to the pensions industry body.
The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) put the yearly price of a retirement income deemed "moderate" for a single person at £31,300 for 2023 to 2024 – up from £23,300 a year earlier.
A "moderate" level of retirement means retirees can afford a monthly meal out and financially help family members with a budget of £1,000.
Costs rose for a "comfortable" level of retirement but the rise was less sharp as research groups said a couple would need only one small second-hand car rather than two cars, which had been seen as needed to retire comfortably in previous years.
The retirement living standards are calculated by the centre for research in social policy at Loughborough University on behalf of the PLSA.
The pandemic is behind an increased desire for socialising expenditure in pension age.
"Following the COVID pandemic, this latest research highlights a pronounced need and enthusiasm among the public for shared experiences beyond the confines of their homes, including activities like eating out and holidays," said Professor Matt Padley, co-director of the centre for research in social policy at Loughborough University.
It follows the publication of the state pension age and demographic change report saying the UK state pension age will have to rise to 71 for middle aged workers.
To have a "minimum" retirement standard, as judged by the research, a single person would need to put away an average of £14,400 every year, up an extra £1,600 from £12,800 a year earlier.
This living standard includes around £95 for a couple's weekly groceries, a week's holiday in the UK, eating out about once a month and some affordable leisure activities about twice a week.
A couple hoping to attain the "moderate" pension needs to bank £43,100 a year, up from £34,000 in 2022 to 2023.
In this category a couple could spend around £100 a week on groceries, £60 a week on eating out, run a small second-hand car, have a week holidaying in Europe and a long weekend break in the UK.
Those looking to retire with a "comfortable" living standard, including regular beauty treatments, theatre trips and two weeks' holiday in Europe a year, need to put aside £43,100 annually, for a single person (up from £37,300 a year earlier) or £59,000 a year for a couple, an increase from £54,500 12 months prior.
The state pension, and the forthcoming 8.5% increase to just over £11,500 per year from April, continued to be a substantial foundation of retirement income, the study said, and this was a reason median average earners could achieve most aspects of the moderate level.

Students of the German International School marking the anniversary of the school's founding
The German International School, one of the oldest in Sharjah, celebrated its 35th anniversary on Thursday with a series of activities and nostalgic tales of the early years. In 1974, the school
started on a construction site that belonged to the civil engineering and construction company Hochtief, which was responsible at the time for building the city\'s infrastructure.
It was built to provide employees of the company with a school that followed the German curriculum.
Richard Eller, one of the students at the school, had the opportunity to visit His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
When Eller explained he was studying at a construction site, Dr Shaikh Sultan was shocked to learn that there were no German schools, and instructed the student\'s father to carry out a study.
\"Eller\'s father carried out a survey to find out how many children went to the school, how expensive it would be and if there was an interest from the community to have a school built,\" said Dirk Bockmann, the school\'s principal.
Within a year, Dr Shaikh Sultan had already donated land and paid for half of the school\'s construction.
Shortly afterwards, on October 1, 1976, the new school started its academic term with 19 students from Grades 1 to 6, and only two teachers.
Now as many as 150 students attend the school, from kindergarten to Grade 10.
A students\' photographic exhibition called Students are Building Bridges was also inaugurated on Thursday to mark the school\'s anniversary.
The exhibition was the result of a competition organised by the Chamber of Commerce in Germany, and will be showcased across the country in various institutions until the end of the year.
As part of the school\'s anniversary celebrations, Bockmann presented a book to Dr Shaikh Sultan with a letter of appreciation, which was accepted on his behalf by Dr Amr Abdul Hamed, the Ruler\'s Special Adviser for Higher Education.
Students sang German songs as well as popular English songs, including John Lennon\'s Imagine.

HTML Card Examples - Twitter
Introduction
In the Concierge Visual Editor, users are able to create custom content for their concierge using the HTML card. There are many use cases, and this talks about just one.
Before you get started, you'll need:
 - A Concierge, with "Allow Javascript in Capacity response" enabled in its Settings under the "Other" tab
 - A public Twitter feed or single Tweet to use. It can be yours or a different (public) account.
 - A site to test the concierge. It can be a Capacity site, but you can't test in the console.
This article has three guides: how to embed a Twitter feed, how to embed a single Tweet, and how to embed a Twitter button.
How To Create the HTML Card
First, navigate to the Concierge 2.0 Visual Editor, in Settings > Concierges -> [Your Concierge] -> Concierge 2.0. If you don't see Settings in the Capacity web console, you'll need your organization's administrator to help.
Find the area you want to add the content, then click the plus button in the visual editor and select "HTML card".
Next, click the plus button that appears (not the one below the card) and add a section for HTML code.
How To Embed a Feed
If you'd like to embed a living, breathing Twitter feed, it's easy!
In the HTML code text field that appeared, paste the code found at this link:
_URL_
You'll likely want to change three values:
 - After "twitter.com/", add the handle for the feed you'd like to show
 - After "data-tweet-limit", add the number of Tweets you'd like to show. It's recommended that this number is less than 5.
 - Before the closing tag "", add a title. Possibly "Tweets by" and the Twitter handle. This is the title of the feed.
Be sure to save your concierge. Then, view it somewhere outside the console for an accurate view. A Capacity Site works.
That's it! See an example of the feed below.
How To Embed a Single Tweet
If your concierge users will be overwhelmed by a full feed, and you want them to just focus on a single post, consider this customization.
For this tutorial, you'll need to get the URL for your single Tweet. This is available by viewing the Tweet in a browser, and clicking the date next to the Tweet. In this case, we'll use a Capacity one from April 11th.
Copying the URL
Doing this should lead you to a URL like _URL_ Copy it.
Using the Publishing Tool
Once you have that, navigate to Twitter's official publishing tool. Scroll down and pick "Embedded Tweet".
Embedding
You'll see a popup. Add the URL you copied earlier, and click Preview.
You'll see the HTML that you need. Click "Copy Code".
Adding to the Concierge
Next, navigate back to the Capacity console, and paste that code inside your HTML Card's HTML code field. Then, be sure to save your concierge. Finally, view it somewhere outside the console to validate that it's functioning properly. A Capacity Site works. This is what it should look like, complete with buttons for liking, replying, copying a link, and reading more!
How to Embed a Twitter button
In a new tab, navigate to Twitter's official publishing tool. Paste in a Twitter account and click the arrow.
You'll see options for Follow or Mention buttons.
After selecting your button, you'll see the code. Copy it.
Then, navigate back to your concierge's settings, and paste your code into the HTML card in the HTML code section.
Be sure to save your concierge. Then, view it somewhere outside the console for an accurate view. A Capacity Site works.
That's it! See an example of the button below. The button and card can be styled even more with additional code.

I've been working on trying to solve the problem of calculating the average of a row of numbers in which some of the cells have a null value. I'm convinced there's no easy way to do this. I found an example on the net that I have been working from but I can't seem to get that to work either. The example is:
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT *, (COALESCE(example, 0) + COALESCE(example2, 0) + COALESCE(example3, 0)) / (3 - (COALESCE(example - example, 1) + COALESCE(example2 - example2, 1) + COALESCE(example3 - example3, 1)) ) AS row_avg FROM attrib1 WHERE recid=".$recordid) or die(mysql_error());
I'm not sure what exactly this query is doing, and thus equally unsure of how to use it do my advantage. Any input would greatly appreciated.

A Look at Fund Finance in Luxembourg 2022: Trends, Developments, and Insights
In spite of the difficulties in the global economy and, in particular, the galloping inflation and the resulting increase in the interest rates, the fund financing market remained strong throughout the year. The Luxembourg market was also active, with a large number of transactions, particularly in the first half of the year. The appetite of market participants stayed strong, with an increase in interest for financing continuity funds and secondary transactions.
2022 also saw two important legislative changes for the fund finance sector in Luxembourg. The Luxembourg law of 22 March 2004 on securitization, as amended (the "Securitization Law") governing Luxembourg securitization vehicles ("SVs") has been deeply modernized in February, while the Luxembourg law of 5 August 2005 on financial collateral arrangements, as amended (the "Collateral Law") (which applies to all security interests granted in connection with fund financing) has been amended in July.
- Modernization of the Securitization Law
The modernization of the Securitization Law has been a boost to the attractiveness of Luxembourg securitization vehicles. The main changes include greater flexibility for Luxembourg vehicles to provide direct guarantee and collateral for the benefit of the creditors involved in the securitization. This flexibility affects many investment fund financings in which Luxembourg securitization vehicles are involved. It will now be possible to simplify the structuring of these financings.
In particular, any securitization vehicle acting as a feeder to a borrowing fund is able to grant guarantees and collateral in favor of the creditors directly, avoiding cascading collateral structure, in certain circumstances. 2023 may provide an opportunity to re-structure and simplify these financings accordingly.
- Amendment to the Collateral Law
The Financial Collateral Law, already known as a strong and flexible instrument used mainly for security purposes in international and national financing transactions, has been strengthened by the recently enacted law of 20 July 2012 (from draft law no. 7933).
The amended Financial Collateral Law now expressly provides for the enforcement of a pledge for any agreed enforcement event other than a payment default, meaning that a pledge governed by Luxembourg law that falls within its ambit (such as a pledge over claims related to investor commitments or a pledge over bank accounts) can be enforced without prior acceleration of the secured obligations. This amendment is a further reminder of the independence of pledge agreements from the secured obligations.
Furthermore, when enforcing a pledge over units of a collective investment undertaking, the pledgee may now demand the redemption of the pledged units at the redemption price provided for by the fund's constitutional documents.
What's in store for 2023
2023 promises to be just as busy from a legislative point of view. The very expected arrival of new ELTIFs following the significant amendments to the Regulation 2015/760 on European long-term investment funds promises the implementation in force of these new vehicles. Luxembourg is naturally positioning itself as the future centre of ELTIFs, largely favoured by its advanced and well-known expertise in investment funds. The revised ELTIF Regulation is expected to be in place by the end of 2023 but no later than beginning 2024. Fund managers are already looking to set up ELTIFs very soon after the revised regulation comes into force. This will certainly create new opportunities in 2023.
While the end of 2022 has led to a temporary slowdown in fundraising in some investment sectors (notably private equity deals), 2023 opens as a year of uncertainty for fund finance market participants. They are now on the lookout for other innovative products, outside the traditional subscription lines, NAV and hybrid facilities, such as a mix of fund financing and securitization. In this regard, the modernization of the Securitisation Law opens up new opportunities. New ways of using existing products (e.g. holding investments for a longer period using NAV facilities) may also provide further alternatives. The rise in interest rates will undoubtedly have an impact on market trends in the year ahead.
With the recent optimistic economic news, the European market could hope for more dynamic fundraising and the deployment of many investment funds in 2023, particularly in favourable sectors such as infrastructure, renewable energy and private debt.
SJL has developed a strong fund finance practice acting for financial institutions, investment funds and fund managers in connection with the financing and refinancing of their activities, including the acquisition and development of investments through subscription lines, the financing of management commitments and structures, and the implementation of NAV facilities for their investments.
SJL has successfully completed over 50 fund financing transactions in 2022.
SJL's lawyers have acquired and developed significant and recognised expertise in this area while working for firms such as Clifford Chance, Loyens & Loeff, EHP and Baker & McKenzie prior to joining SJL. The experience gained in international law firms has enabled SJL's partners and lawyers to develop the skills necessary to provide legal services to demanding international clients, and the experience gained in such a variety of firms also explains why SJL offers a unique approach to the Luxembourg legal market in terms of legal skills, pragmatism and responsiveness.
Antoine Fortier Grethen, head of SJL's Fund Finance Practice, has been recognised by Legal500 as a Next Generation Partner in his field since 2021.

The biggest priority within an organization is, obviously, cost. The employee talent search process can be cumbersome and tedious, let alone expensive. Managers spend long hours reading resumes, conducting interview, and training employees only to repeat the process if the new hire wasn't a good match for the company. Recruiting software investments may streamline operations; leading to savings. An organization may use an ARAP Savings Calculator template to verify the ROI of recruiting software investments.
ARAP Savings Calculator Template Overview
The ARAP Savings Calculator is grouped into two main worksheets: the recruiting data worksheet, and the potential savings calculations for ARAP, plus, a savings summary, and a savings breakdown at the bottom of the template. Each of the worksheets is further divided into subheadings and criteria. Note that the gray fields are reserved for calculating totals. The first worksheet is where the statistical data is entered while savings potential are calculated on the second.
ARAP Savings Calculator Work Flow
- The Hiring Practice section analyzes the effective use of in house application collection and how long positions are vacant. The questions break down the process of collecting applications and resumes, how it's done, how long it takes, and the number of people hired.
- The Annual Staffing section breaks down the dollar cost of full time equivalent work load used to process applications along with the funds spend on outsourcing to recruiting agencies. The work load sows how many employee hours are needed vs. how many are used for application processing.
- The Advertising section is a breakdown of recruiting advertising expenses based on types of media and outsourced firms.
- The Special Programs and Career Fairs section is a list of job fairs, career opportunity programs and cost used for recruiting.
- The Campus Recruitment organizes statistic from recruiting college students through various campuses.
- The final section is a list of other criteria that doesn't fit into a group. This list includes expenses accrued for traveling, meals, relocating, lodging, signing bonuses, and background checks.
- The second worksheet does not require any data to be entered. Each sub section of this worksheet is a reflection of the savings calculated from the six subsections in the first worksheet.
ARAP Savings Calculator Customization Tips
- Company name and date should be entered into rows one and three of the ARAP Savings Calculator, however, they can be placed any ware outside any of the worksheets.
- Criteria relevant to an organization can be added to the first worksheet. Be sure to update every other worksheet and math formulas to reflect the calculation of the added content.

I don't have much experience with amateur satellites and I went to the AMSAT website to track a few passes. Two of the terms are "Maximum Elevation" and "Max El Azimuth"
I go to look up the terms, and I find this link _URL_
For Max El Azimuth, they say
Max El Azimuth - this is the maximum height the satellite should reach on this pass, as viewed from your location - a height of 90 degrees would be straight overhead.
But I see values higher than 90 on the AMSAT pass tracker online and am confused. And the Maximum elevation says values less than 90 degrees.
Just to be sure, what exactly is the difference between Maximum Elevation and Maximum El Azimuth?

The Smallest Analog Computer Ever Made?!
By James Grahame
From the early 1960s brochure: "Donner's Model 3500 is a full-fledged analog computer weighing just 28 lbs. Designed for engineers, educators and scientists, it can be used to study almost any physical system that can be described by differential equations. It can be operated on desk tops and benches by anyone who can run a slide rule. The standard 3500 contains 10 amplifiers, stabilized or unstabilized as the user chooses. The computer performs accurately with 1% or 0.1% computing components, and is furnished ready-to-work for $1850, depending upon specific equipment desired."
Fast forward 50 years, and I'd much rather have a Macbook. It's astounding to realize just how far we've come in the past half century; the Donner 3500 used vacuum tubes and was anything but simple to use. These days, you could create a comparable analog function generator using a variety of solid-state op amps and buffers that cost only a few cents each.

In the present paper a mathematical model for a mini-channel heat exchanger is proposed. Multiobjective optimization using genetic algorithm is performed in the next step in order to obtain a set of geometrical design parameters, leading to minimum pressure drops and maximum overall heat transfer coefficient. Multiobjective optimization procedure provides a set of optimal solutions, called Pareto front, each of which is a trade-off between the objective functions and can be freely selected by the user according to the specifications of the project. A sensitivity analysis is also carried out to study the effects of different geometrical parameters on the considered functions. The whole system has been modeled based on advanced experimental correlations in matlab environment using a modular approach.

Pivoting is a way to change direction from one stance to another without taking a step by rotating body's center of mass around its axis. For example, one can pivot from a left lead horse stance to a right lead horse stance by pivoting the upper body. The stance may change during a pivot, such as from a left lead horse to a right lead back stance.
The pivot serves several purposes:
- Assists directional change
- Provides angular acceleration to drive strikes and throws by rotating body mass into the technique
- Assists stance/position change in that may gain distance when needed in defending or close the distance when attacking without having to take steps
- Rotates body in a way that protects vulnerable targets and draws attacker into counters
- Deflects impacts away from vulnerable internal organs as they bounce off the rotating body mass

This paper describes image processing methods for automatic spotted microarray image analysis. Automatic gridding is important to achieve constant data quality and is, therefore, especially interesting for large-scale experiments as well as for integration of microarray expression data from different sources. We propose a Markov random field (MRF) based approach to high-level grid segmentation, which is robust to common problems encountered with array images and does not require calibration. We also propose an active contour method for single-spot segmentation. Active contour models describe objects in images by properties of their boundaries. Both MRFs and active contour models have been used in various other computer vision applications. The traditional active contour model must be generalized for successful application to microarray spot segmentation. Our active contour model is employed for spot detection in the MRF score functions as well as for spot signal segmentation in quantitative array image analysis. An evaluation using several image series from different sources shows the robustness of our methods.

Destination Details
Destination: Santiniketan
Destination Type: Cities
City: Santiniketan / Bolpur
Country: India
Shantiniketan is a small town near Bolpur in the Birbhum district of West Bengal and about 212 kms north of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).
It was made famous by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, whose vision became what is now a university town – Visva-Bharati University. The place now attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Shantiniketan was earlier called Bhnbandanga (named after Bhuban Dakat, a local dacoit), and was owned by the Tagore family. In 1862, Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, the poet's father, while on a boat journey to Raipur, came across a landscape with red soil and lush green paddy fields. He decided to plant more saplings and built a small house. He called his home Shantiniketan, the abode of peace. He founded an Ashram here in 1863 and became the initiator of the Brahmo Samaj.
The Shantiniketan campus is adorned by splendid sculptures, frescoes, murals, and paintings of Rabindranath, Nandalal Bose, Ramkinkar, Binodbehari Mukhopadhyay, and others.
Birbhum District, where the Shantiniketan is located, is also famous for its fairs and festivals like Poush Mela (December), Joydev Mela (January), Basanta Utsav (Holi) in March and the famous mystic Baul Singers.
By Air : The Nearest Airport is Kolkata Airport 165 kms
By Rail : The Nearest Railway Station is Bolpur
By Road : You can easily get regular buses to Shantiniketan from other major cities of the country
he Uttarayana complex where the poet lived consists of several buildings such as Udayana, Konark, Shyamali, Punascha, and Udichi, which reflect the architectural genius of the poet's illustrious son – the late Rathindranath Tagore.
In addition, there are Kala Bhavan, Sangeet Bhavan, Patha Bhavan, Bichitra, Cheena Bhavan, and Hindi Bhavan. You can also see Chhatimtala and the Prayer Hall.
Close to Shantiniketan there are several tourist destinations such as Fullora (40 kms), Nalhati (104 kms), Sainthia, Kankalitala (7 kms), Bakreshwar (58 kms), Massanjore (78 kms), and Tarapith (80 kms). The first five are Shaktipithas where the different body-parts of Goddess Sati is said to have fallen.

ZTE in partnership with Ansaldo STS has completed a communication-based train control (CBTC) over LTE test. Ansaldo STS, which specialises in the global signalling and integrated transport systems markets for both passengers (railway/mass transit) and freight, provided the CBTC signalling equipment, while ZTE provided the LTE equipment and devices required for the test.
The test result shows that ZTE's LTE technology met the requirement of CBTC. The test covered scenarios such as static condition, handover, failover and load with static and dynamic configuration.
The key performance indicators (for example, packet loss, latency, maximal number of users, system start-up and shutdown time) fully comply with the requirement of CBTC transmission, ZTE said.
Prior to the lab test, ZTE and Ansaldo STS had already verified CBTC over LTE in the Hangzhou Metro (pictured) using the automatic train operation (ATO) mode. This field verification confirmed that key performance indicators, such as packet loss and latency, fully met the requirement of CBTC.
LTE is being touted as a possible successor to the widely used GSM-R communication-based train control system used on European railways. However, with new GSM-R systems still being deployed, LTE is not expected to be widely used in Europe for at least a decade if not longer.

Construction paper (sugar paper) is a tough, coarse, coloured paper. The texture is slightly rough, and the surface is unfinished. Due to the source material, mainly wood pulp, small particles are visible on the paper's surface. It is used for projects or crafts.
The origin of the term "sugar paper" lies in its use for making bags to contain sugar. It is related to the "blue paper" used by confectionery bakers from the 17th century England onwards; for example, in the baking of Regency ratafia cakes (or macaroons).
The term "construction paper" was associated with the material in the early 20th century, although the general process for creating the paper began in the late 19th century when industrialized paper production and synthetic dye technology were combined. Around that time, construction paper was primarily advertised for classroom settings as an effective canvas for supporting multiple drawing mediums. The process for creating the paper involved a machine oriented process that exposed the paper to dyes while it was still pulp, resulting in a thorough distribution and brilliance of colour. The primary dyes involved in producing construction paper were abundant until Germany, the main producer of aniline for dyes at the time, became involved in World War I and ceased its exports. The shortage marked a period in which construction paper was created using substitute colouring methods.
One of the defining features of construction paper is the radiance of its colours. Before the methodology behind construction paper's colouring was introduced, most paper was coloured by pigments and vegetable oil, which had weaker staining capabilities. Synthetic dyes were later developed, which provided a wider range of colours, stronger dyeing strength, and had lower costs. However, the colours given by synthetic dyes tend to fade over short periods of time, an effect often seen in construction paper, noted by greying colours and brittleness.

Unless you forget the Sunday joint in the oven, a burning smell from any electrical appliance is something you should take very seriously. It's generally a sign that the machine is about to break down, and it could well indicate that it's in a dangerous condition. If you smell burning in or around your washing machine you need to take immediate steps.
Where is the Smell Coming From?
If the smell is clearly coming from the washing machine itself, switch it off and unplug it immediately. If the smell appears to be coming from the plug, plug socket, or wire, switch off the power to the circuit and wait for everything to cool down before unplugging.
In either event, don't use your machine until it's been assessed by a service engineer. A burning smell from this appliance is a sign that you need urgent washing machine repairs. There are a number of things your engineer will check.
1. The drive belt
A worn or damaged drive belt can slip, this causes friction which leads to the belt overheating, resulting in a very distinctive burning rubber smell, indicating that the worn belt needs to be replaced. While this task isn't especially complicated it's still best undertaken by a qualified repairman. Washing machine motors generate a lot of static and it's possible to get a very nasty shock from one even when the appliance is unplugged.
2. Drive motor pulleys
Pulleys can rust or degrade over time, and once this has happened they will generate friction when the machine is in operation. At worst a damaged pulley can seize up totally, which will put a strain on the drive belt and lead to overheating.
3. The drive motor
Like the pulleys and belts around it, the drive motor itself can overheat and cause a burning smell. Sometimes this is as a result of a primary fault in the motor, other times a fault in a belt or pulley can cause the motor to burn out. A competent engineer will generally check all of this, to determine the full extent of the work to be done before starting your washing machine repairs. Replacing one or two components is likely to be cost effective but if several parts are faulty it might be more cost-effective to replace the machine.
4. Electrical faults within the machine
Faults in the wiring or water coming into contact with the electrical components of your machine could result in an electrical burning smell from within the washing machine. Switch it off, isolate it from the power supply and call an engineer.
Reduce the risk of your washing machine developing faults
Every home appliance has a usable lifespan and sooner or later faults will develop, but there are a few things you can do to maximise the chances of getting the longest possible use from your washing machine. Attending to faults as soon as you notice them will always keep your washing machine repair bills down in the long run. A single faulty component could cause a cascade of other problems to develop, so delaying repairs may increase the work that needs to be done and the cost of doing it. Apart from this, the very best favour you can do your washer is to not overload it. Overloading puts excessive strain on the belt, the pulleys and the motor itself making their failure more likely.

After - chart function
After() returns the value of an expression evaluated with a pivot table's dimension values as they appear in the column after the current column within a row segment in the pivot table.
Syntax:
after([TOTAL] expr [, offset [, count ]])

Information note This function returns NULL in all chart types except pivot tables.
Arguments:
Argument Description
expr The expression or field containing the data to be measured.
offset
Specifying an offset n, greater than 1 moves the evaluation of the expression n rows further to the right from the current row.
Specifying an offset of 0 will evaluate the expression on the current row.
Specifying a negative offset number makes the After function work like the Before function with the corresponding positive offset number.
count
By specifying a third parameter count greater than 1, the function will return a range of values, one for each of the table rows up to the value of count, counting to the right from the original cell.
TOTAL
If the table is one-dimensional or if the qualifier TOTAL is used as argument, the current column segment is always equal to the entire column.
Defining the aggregation scope
On the last column of a row segment a NULL value will be returned, as there is no column after this one.
If the pivot table has multiple horizontal dimensions, the current row segment will include only columns with the same values as the current column in all dimension rows except for the row showing the last horizontal dimension of the inter-field sort order. The inter-field sort order for horizontal dimensions in pivot tables is defined simply by the order of the dimensions from top to bottom.
Example:
after( sum( Sales ))
after( sum( Sales ), 2 )
after( total sum( Sales ))
rangeavg (after(sum(x),1,3)) returns an average of the three results of the sum(x) function evaluated in the three columns immediately to the right of the current column.

Development of Effective Management Theories
Muhammad Asadullah and Syed Irfan Hyder
This paper examines how Ghoshal's views (2005) of bad management theories are destroying good management practices. The authors propose a solution through which we may identify the bad management theory at an early stage. The authors posit that the theorist should have intuitive ability which is a pre-requisite to develop an effective theory. As far as intuition is concerned, we cannot test the intuitive ability of any individual, therefore a "think tank" may evaluate a management theory according to ethical and cultural perspective. If a management theory is culturally rich and ethical then it will be universally acceptable. On other hand, if management theory lacks characteristics of being culturally rich or poor ethical values then it should be modified or excluded from the literature. All ethical management theories which may not be culturally rich should be addressed with double hermeneutics according to region.
Keywords: ethics, cultural richness, intuitive mindset, management theory and moral values.
