Architect: William Deane Butler & Iarnród Éireann Architects
Originally constructed for the Drogheda and Dublin Railway Company, this was the first of the four major Dublin Railway termini to be constructed. Still in use today, it has been renamed Connolly Station after James Connolly who was executed for his part in the 1916 rising although many people still refer to it as Amiens Station. The station was built between 1844-46, and it is constructed on an axis with Talbot Street allowing the central tower to act as a signpost for the station. A symmetrical five bay façade with three towers and an enormous entrance arch – the main façade does not hang together particularly well as an integrated design.
In the late 20th century Iarnród Éireann Architects renovated the building by adding a new entrance foyer to the south and cleaning the brickwork inside the shed. In addition to the mainline trains, Connolly also services the local DART and Suburban Rail services. These trains operate from platforms adjacent to the main railway shed, on an elevated railbed before crossing the river via the Loopline Bridge.
The removal of the traffic access ramp to the south has allowed a terminus of sorts for the Luas Light Rail system, which had now been negated by the extension of the route to the Point on North Wall Quay.

Stupid Web Tricks: Limit how long a splash page is displayed
Splash screens are great, but you don't want them to prevent visitors from getting to your real home page. Find out how to limit how long a splash page displays.
By Lauren Guzak and Patrick Joseph
(1/26/99, updated 6/22/01)
You want a splash screen to announce something big—your company's IPO, the birth of your kid—but you also want to make sure people get to your real home page. Why trust the audience to be smart enough to figure it out? Just tell the page to automatically move on in x number of seconds.
Step One
Paste the following code between the <HEAD> tags of your page:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=index.html">
Step Two
Play with the timing to suit your needs. Our sample code sets the page to move on to the next URL in ten seconds (that's the 10 in the code), but only because that seems like an appropriate amount of time. Depending on what's on the page, you can set the timing interval to anything you want. Just make sure that people visiting your site have enough time to read through any text. There's nothing more annoying than going to a page, starting to read what's there, and being forcefully thrust to another page before you've finished.
One problem with using meta refresh is that the clock starts ticking when the page starts loading. If a user is on a slow connection or there's congestion between the user's machine and your server, the page could refresh before fully loading. You can get around this by foregoing the <META> tag and instead place the following attribute in your <BODY> tag:
onload=setTimeout("location.href='index.html'",10000)
The onload event handler activates after the page has finished loading. Unlike meta refresh, onLoad takes its timing in milliseconds (10000) instead of seconds (10). Remember that this method doesn't work for non-JavaScript browsers; for those users, consider including meta refresh with a longer timeout. And you should always provide a link to the refresh page, both as a backup and a consideration.
One more thing. Your server probably has a default name for the first page it serves when someone browses your Web directory, such as index.html or homepage.html. If you put up a temporary splash page, you have to give the splash page the default name and rename your home page something else. Make sure you double-check the links to your home page when you set up a splash page and when you take it down.

In the context of software or information modeling, a happy path is a default scenario featuring no exceptional or error conditions, and comprises the sequence of activities executed if everything goes as expected. For example, the "happy path" for a function validating credit card numbers would be where none of the validation rules raise an error, thus letting execution continue successfully to the end, generating a positive response.
Process steps for a happy path are also used in the context of a use case. In contrast to the happy path, process steps for alternate paths and exception paths may also be documented.
Happy path testing is a well-defined test case using known input, which executes without exception and produces an expected output.
Happy day scenario and Golden path are synonyms for happy path.

Although a large amount of work has been done on Tree of heaven globally, very little is known of the species in South Africa. The extent of planting, naturalization and invasion is unknown, making the implementation of a suitable management plan a difficult task. Studies have shown that the species exists in all but one of South Africa's seven biomes (the forest biome being the only exception). Records show that the highest levels of invasion are seen in Gauteng, Free State and the Western Cape. The true extent of tree of heaven invasion in South Africa is however unknown.
The species is an incredibly hardy and adaptable plant, capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions like drought and flooding, as well as high levels of atmospheric pollution. Vigorous growth coupled with the plants' ability to produce an allelopathic chemical known as ailanthone may result in drastic alterations to natural habitats. Allelopathic chemicals are effectively herbicides released by some plants which inhibit the growth of (or even kill) neighbouring plants. The release of this chemical can drastically alter your garden landscape turning a beautiful set-up into a rather desolate scene.
No plant, regardless of type, has the ability to withstand the effects of ailanthone. As such, in order to ensure that a beautiful garden landscape is maintained, all Tree of heaven individuals or stands should be removed from your garden immediately. In addition to the natural damage, the tree's ability to grow and thrive in an urban environment makes the species a threat to infrastructure. Capable of growing through cracks in sidewalks as well as through gutters or even cracks in walls, this plant could ultimately weaken the structural stability and integrity of a building. A case has been reported in which the root system of a Tree of heaven, growing on an adjacent property, has spread far enough to crush the boundary wall and crack the lining of the neighbour's swimming pool.

Hi d3 community,
Is their a D3.js code or example where not only I can build a phylogenetic tree but also visualize next to the tree, the sequence (germline or root) along with sequence for each leaf as attached in the screenshot here ? Each sequence can be color coded for mutations from the germline sequence?
Thanks so much,
There are plenty to tree diagrams that could be used to display the phylogenetic dataset.
Data wrangling your data to work with these would be the first step.
If you had an example of the data in a notebook, then it would be easier to work out how to do the wrangling.
Steven Weaver did a lot on phylogenetic trees
Thanks so much, great suggestions. I am also interested in being able to display a germline sequence next to tree which is MSA result and color highlight with mutations from germline. I am a not sure this observable can handle, will continue to explore.
You can combine the output of cells into an html Cell. With a little CSS you could get side by side going.
I think there could be better examples of this, but it can be done.

Combined Translation Function to Determine the Relative Position between A and B
We still have to determine the relative $z$ translation between molecules A and B. The following X-PLOR script file accomplishes this. This is also an example of a translation function with a fixed portion (molecule A). The $x,z$ positions of molecules A and B are known up to a 0.5 translation. Therefore, four translation functions have to be carried out.
translation12.inp
The first translation function is successful with a correlation coefficient of 0.45. The corresponding Mathematica plot is shown in Fig. 19.5.

Paid revision courses: time for a boycott
- By: Grant S Nolan
They message me more than my girlfriend does, I see their shiny leaflets plastered on the student union's walls, and one plucky company representative even had the audacity to give a quick sales pitch after a lecture. Exam season is looming, and paid revision courses are everywhere.
Medical schools have been around for centuries, educating bright eyed students. They teach us everything from approaching an unconscious patient in the street, to explaining the stomach ache one gets after being kicked in the balls.* Medical societies often provide revision events and proactive students have long formed their own revision groups; testing each other and working together through indecipherable lecture notes. So what gap are these revision courses plugging?
That question becomes even more relevant when you consider the staggering cost of these courses. With recent tuition fee changes to £9000 a year, medicine can already be unaffordable for those without substantial


Amaran Assisted Living
Montessori One Academy | Albuquerque, NM
This innovative senior community uses Montessori principles to engage aging adults in meaningful activities that promote independence and encourage them to contribute to their community. Amaran is integrated into the campus of an established Montessori school, Montessori One Academy, to enable daily interaction between seniors and children.
Amaran offers a mix of 72 assisted living and memory care apartments that include studio, one-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. Each apartment is designed to reflect the Montessori principle of creating a prepared environment that provides sensory and behavioral cues to maximize independence. This includes custom entry cubbies that create a sense of order and routine at the transition between private apartments and shared spaces.
This Montessori-based, intergenerational approach required rethinking many typical design practices for senior communities. Compared to a more traditional memory care environment where access to food and outdoor areas is often highly controlled, Amaran empowers residents to access healthy snacks and courtyards themselves (independently) through a design that balances access with safety controls. Residents will use Montessori work stations with real activities and authentic materials rather than more typical memory care activity stations. Technology is used to enable independence through voice activated controls rather than for simulated interaction or virtual reality. Stations and displays are designed to avoid clutter and provide height-appropriate counters, sinks, etc. that allow both seniors and children to take advantage of the prepared environment.
The design of Amaran also includes operable windows, color-tuned lighting, and custom signage to create a cohesive environment and help residents easily navigate the community. Amaran's person-centered philosophy will benefit each resident in different ways. Residents with and without Alzheimer's or dementia will benefit from its structured environment, multi-sensory activities, and opportunities to spend time with children doing purposeful work and creating new relationships.

Delta: The Value That Matters in Fatigue Risk Management
Noninferiority or equivalence testing are often used when comparing a novel pharmaceutical, operation, or procedure to the current standard designated as safe. Noninferiority and equivalence testing require estimates of a metric called delta: the margin of meaningful difference. Inappropriate delta margins can lead to invalid conclusions, thereby creating uncertainty about a study's scientific credibility. The authors recommend that a working group be convened with the following goals: 1) to evaluate delta values currently in use in aviation; 2) to determine if it is possible to develop a systematic, evidence-based, and replicable process to derive delta values based on statistical properties from population data, rather than a mixture of evidence- and opinion-based processes; and 3) based on the findings of the second goal, update the current delta values in use in aviation. This working group should include, at a minimum, government agencies and other key stakeholders using these values within operational settings.

This paper intends to show a model for the diffraction of sea waves approaching an OWC device, which converts the sea waves motion into mechanical energy and then electrical energy. This is a preliminary study to the optimisation of the device, in fact the computation of sea waves diffraction around the device allows the estimation of the sea waves energy which enters into the device. The computation of the diffraction phenomenon is the result of a sea waves scattering problem, solved with an integral equation method.

T-Mobile fined $40 million for using false ring tones on calls to rural areas6
Besides making the caller hang up thinking that no one was available to answer the phone, using the false ring tones also shielded T-Mobile from being blamed for not being able to connect the call. The FCC also noted that T-Mobile's problems with connecting calls made to rural areas could also prevent doctors from getting to their patients who live in these areas, and can hurt businesses that operate in rural surroundings. It can also prevent families from communicating and lead to delays in public safety communications.
T-Mobile admitted that it inserted the false ring tones, and failed to improve the delivery of calls to certain rural areas. As a result, it will cut a check made payable to the U.S. Treasury Department in the amount of $40 million, and will also begin a compliance plan.
The FCC has a website that is dedicated to issues arising from calls to rural areas. According to the site, these are the issues that cellphone users will experience when a call to a rural number is not going through:
- After you dial, you hear nothing or "dead air" for 10 seconds or more. If you stay on the line, the call may seem to be dropped or you may eventually hear a busy signal.
- After you dial, you hear as many as 10-20 rings even though you are reasonably sure someone should be there to answer or an answering machine should pick up.
- After you dial, you hear a recording such as "The number you have dialed is not in service" or "Your call cannot be completed as dialed" when you are sure that you've correctly dialed the number and the called phone is working.
If you experience any of the above when calling a rural number on your mobile handset, you should report the problem to the FCC.

Javascript Question
Is there a difference between \d and \d+?
_URL_
I was doing a lesson in FCC, and they mentioned that the digit selector \d finds one digit and adding a + (\d+) in front of the selector allows it to search for more than one digit.
I experimented with it a bit, and noticed that its the g right after the expression that searches for every number, not the +. I tried using \d+ without the g after the expression, and it only matched the first number in the string.
Basically, whether I use \d or \d+, as long as I have the g after the expression, It will find all of the numbers. So my question is, what is the difference between the two?
// Setup
var testString = "There are 3 cats but 4 dogs.";
var expression = /\d+/g;
var digitCount = testString.match(expression).length;
Answer
The g at the end means global, ie. that you want to search for all occurrences. Without it, you'll just get the first match.
\d, as you know, means a single digit. You can add quantifiers to specify whether you want to match all the following, or a certain amount of digits afterwards.
\d means a single digit
\d+ means all sequential digits
So let's say we have a string like this:
123 456
_PHONE_
/\d/g will match [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1,2,3]
/\d/ will match 1
/\d+/ will match 123
/\d+/g will match [123,456,_PHONE_]
You could also use /\d{1,3}/g to say you want to match all occurrences where there are from 1 to 3 digits in a sequence.
Another common quantifier is the star symbol, which means 0 or more. For example /1\d*/g would match all sequences of digits that start with 1, and have 0 or more digits after it.

ERP 2.50:Developers Guide/How to develop an alert
ERP 2.50:Developers Guide
Index
Contents
Objective
The objective of this how-to is to illustrate how you can add new alerts to Openbravo. Alerts are non-intrusive informational messages to individual users or groups (roles) about anything within the system. One can define unlimited number of alerts for various statuses, errors, informative purposes, reminder etc. Some examples are:
and many more.
Defining the alert
First of all, the condition under which the alert appears needs to be defined. This is done using a SQL statement that needs to follow certain conventions.
To enter a new alert, use the System Administrator role to navigate to General Setup || Application || Alert window. Depending on how you installed Openbravo, you might already have some alerts here. If you do, try to find the Customers with exceeded credit one and double click it. If not, create a new record as indicated below:
CreateAlerts1.png
where this is the exact code for the SQL field:

 SELECT c_bpartner_id AS referencekey_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') AS record_id,
 0 AS ad_role_id,
 NULL AS ad_user_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') ||' has '||SO_CreditLimit||' as limit and has reached '||SO_CreditUsed AS description,
 'Y' AS isActive,
 ad_org_id,
 ad_client_id,
 now() AS created,
 0 AS createdBy,
 now() AS updated,
 0 AS updatedBy
 FROM c_bpartner
 WHERE SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed
 AND iscustomer='Y'
 AND SO_CreditLimit!=0
The fields in question here are:
We will come back to this code and explain it in detail. First, let's try to see the resulting alert.
Defining recipients
Switch to the Openbravo Admin role, navigate to General Setup || Application || Alert, double click the Customers with exceeded credit alert and switch to the Alert Recipients tab. Add a new record as indicated below:
CreateAlerts2.png
Notice that a role can be added (that includes several users) or a specific user.
Scheduling the alerting background process
For the alerts to be evaluated and triggered, the background process needs to be scheduled since it doesn't come that way out of the box. Using the Openbravo Admin role navigate to General Setup || Process Scheduling || Process Request and enter a new record:
CreateAlerts3.png
The Result
Finally, log out and back in and switch to the Openbravo Admin role. You should be able to see the little red alert icon in the top right corner of the menu. By clicking on it, you will automatically be taken to the General Setup || Application || Alert Management window that should look something like:
CreateAlerts4.png
SQL code explained
In order to write any kind of alert, the approach is very similar. Let's take another look at the SQL code that describes the condition:

 SELECT c_bpartner_id AS referencekey_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') AS record_id,
 0 AS ad_role_id,
 NULL AS ad_user_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') ||' has '||SO_CreditLimit||' as limit and has reached '||SO_CreditUsed AS description,
 'Y' AS isActive,
 ad_org_id,
 ad_client_id,
 now() AS created,
 0 AS createdBy,
 now() AS updated,
 0 AS updatedBy
 FROM c_bpartner
 WHERE SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed
 AND iscustomer='Y'
 AND SO_CreditLimit!=0
Each SQL statement basically simulates an Openbravo table which is why it needs to have all the columns defined above:
Finally the WHERE clause describes the condition that triggers the alert. In our case the SELECT statement will return all Business Partners (FROM c_bpartner) that are customers (iscustomer='Y') and have exceeded their credit limit (SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed) which needs to be different from zero (SO_CreditLimit!=0).
In other words, anything you can describe in a SQL statement can be defined as an alert. It's as simple as that.

No, Hot Cheetos is not a natural laxative. Due to its sodium content, spices, and artificial flavors, Hot Cheetos can make you poop. However, it's not a healthy snack, so you shouldn't consume it as a laxative.
Do Hot Cheetos make your poop red?
Yes, Hot Cheetos makes your poop red. Red food dye is abundant in spicy snacks, for example, Hot Cheetos. If eaten in large quantities, it turns people's stools red or orange.
Do Hot Cheetos make your poop burn?
Yes, Hot Cheetos makes your poop burn, and it usually happens when you eat spicy food. Since spicy foods trigger the digestive tract's spice receptors, some people experience cramps or upset stomachs after eating Hot Cheetos. Additionally, when digested Hot Cheetos waste reaches your anus, it still contains capsaicin, which can make your poop burn.
Do Hot Cheetos make you poop blood?
No, Hot Cheetos does not make you poop blood. However, because this spicy snack contains a lot of red food dye, it can turn the stools of people who eat large quantities red or orange. Parents and kids may mistakenly assume that it is a sign of blood in the stool, leading to a panicked trip to the hospital.
In a nutshell, Hot Cheetos makes you poop and cause diarrhea. These snacks can also cause digestion problems due to spices and artificial colors. On the other hand, many Cheetos can stimulate bowel movement, thus stimulating bowel movement. Alternatively, consuming too many Hot Cheetos can cause diarrhea, limiting your intake.
These snacks are famous for their texture and taste. This food, however, may cause digestive problems if consumed too much, so it's not considered healthy. Therefore, you need to understand more about it to stay safe while enjoying this snack.

Wings 3D/User Manual/User Interface/The Information Line
The Information Line
The Information Line runs along the bottom of the main Wings window. This is probably the most important thing to keep your eye on, especially if you are new to Wings. The Information Line's main purpose is to display every possible button option available for any operation, tool, or menu item. Many of the tools and menu options have more than one function, and some of the more advanced options are only displayed in the Information Line. To display any menu item's possible options or described function, simply hover over the item with the mouse cursor.
The Information Line uses the letters L, M and R for the Left, Middle and Right mouse buttons. When several options are available for a tool, menu item, or during an operation, those options are displayed in the Information Line preceded by L, M, or R. Sometimes the user will be prompted to depress a Modifier Key in conjunction with the designated mouse button. Modifier Keys are often Control , , or , or sometimes a combination of two or more are used with the mouse buttons. There are other instances when Numeric or other keys are used to present option. In cases where Number Keys are used to change the result of a command, Do Not Use The Number Pad Keys. For Number Key Modifiers in the Information Line, use the Number Keys across the top of your keyboard instead.
IMPORTANT: The Information Line Displays Important Information About Tools, Menu Items and Other Options Available During An Operation. Remember To Always Keep An Eye On The Information Line.

F.13. hstore
This module implements a data type hstore for storing sets of (key,value) pairs within a single PostgreSQL data field. This can be useful in various scenarios, such as rows with many attributes that are rarely examined, or semi-structured data.
In the current implementation, neither the key nor the value string can exceed 65535 bytes in length; an error will be thrown if this limit is exceeded. These maximum lengths may change in future releases.
F.13.1. hstore External Representation
The text representation of an hstore value includes zero or more key => value items, separated by commas. For example:
 k => v
 foo => bar, baz => whatever
 "1-a" => "anything at all"

The order of the items is not considered significant (and may not be reproduced on output). Whitespace between items or around the => sign is ignored. Use double quotes if a key or value includes whitespace, comma, = or >. To include a double quote or a backslash in a key or value, precede it with another backslash. (Keep in mind that depending on the setting of standard_conforming_strings, you may need to double backslashes in SQL literal strings.)
A value (but not a key) can be a SQL NULL. This is represented as
 key => NULL

The NULL keyword is not case-sensitive. Again, use double quotes if you want the string null to be treated as an ordinary data value.
Currently, double quotes are always used to surround key and value strings on output, even when this is not strictly necessary.
F.13.2. hstore Operators and Functions
Table F-5. hstore Operators
Operator Description Example Result
hstore -> text get value for key (null if not present) 'a=>x, b=>y'::hstore -> 'a' x
text => text make single-item hstore 'a' => 'b' "a"=>"b"
hstore || hstore concatenation 'a=>b, c=>d'::hstore || 'c=>x, d=>q'::hstore "a"=>"b", "c"=>"x", "d"=>"q"
hstore ? text does hstore contain key? 'a=>1'::hstore ? 'a' t
hstore @> hstore does left operand contain right? 'a=>b, b=>1, c=>NULL'::hstore @> 'b=>1' t
hstore <@ hstore is left operand contained in right? 'a=>c'::hstore <@ 'a=>b, b=>1, c=>NULL' f
(Before PostgreSQL 8.2, the containment operators @> and <@ were respectively called @ and ~. These names are still available, but are deprecated and will eventually be retired. Notice that the old names are reversed from the convention formerly followed by the core geometric datatypes!)
Note: The => operator is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Use the hstore(text, text) function instead.
Table F-6. hstore Functions
Function Return Type Description Example Result
hstore(text, text) hstore make single-item hstore hstore('a', 'b') "a"=>"b"
akeys(hstore) text[] get hstore's keys as array akeys('a=>1,b=>2') {a,b}
skeys(hstore) setof text get hstore's keys as set skeys('a=>1,b=>2')
a

avals(hstore) text[] get hstore's values as array avals('a=>1,b=>2') {1,2}
svals(hstore) setof text get hstore's values as set svals('a=>1,b=>2')
1
2
each(hstore) setof (key text, value text) get hstore's keys and values as set select * from each('a=>1,b=>2')
 key | value
-----+-------
 a | 1
 b | 2
exist(hstore,text) boolean does hstore contain key? exist('a=>1','a') t
defined(hstore,text) boolean does hstore contain non-null value for key? defined('a=>NULL','a') f
delete(hstore,text) hstore delete any item matching key delete('a=>1,b=>2','b') "a"=>"1"
F.13.3. Indexes
hstore has index support for @> and ? operators. You can use either GiST or GIN index types. For example:
CREATE INDEX hidx ON testhstore USING GIST(h);
CREATE INDEX hidx ON testhstore USING GIN(h);

F.13.4. Examples
Add a key, or update an existing key with a new value:
UPDATE tab SET h = h || ('c' => '3');

Delete a key:
UPDATE tab SET h = delete(h, 'k1');

F.13.5. Statistics
The hstore type, because of its intrinsic liberality, could contain a lot of different keys. Checking for valid keys is the task of the application. Examples below demonstrate several techniques for checking keys and obtaining statistics.
Simple example:
SELECT * FROM each('aaa=>bq, b=>NULL, ""=>1');

Using a table:
SELECT (each(h)).key, (each(h)).value INTO stat FROM testhstore;

Online statistics:
SELECT key, count(*) FROM
 (SELECT (each(h)).key FROM testhstore) AS stat
 GROUP BY key
 ORDER BY count DESC, key;
 key | count

How To Grow Capers: Learn About Growing And Caring For Caper Plants
What are capers and how are they used? Capers, unopened flower buds found on the caper bush, are the culinary darlings of many cuisines. Capers can be found in European foods and in those of Africa and India as well, where cultivation of growing capers is found. Growing a caper bush, however, is not an easy task.
What are Capers?
Caper plants (Capparis spinosa) are usually found growing wild in the Mediterranean in dry stony areas similar to those where olives are grown. Capers grow in viney brambles, much like blackberries do in North America. Cultivation of a caper bush is most often found in Spain and Africa, but in the past, Southern Russia was also an exporter.
Growing capers are, as mentioned, the buds of a shrub-like perennial (3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m.) high), which has a multitude of spiny branches bearing 2-inch (5 cm.) white flowers with purple stamens.
What are Capers Used For?
So how are capers used? The tiny buds of the caper bush, or Capparis spinosa, are picked on a daily basis and then pickled in vinegar or otherwise brined in salt. The resulting flavor of the caper berry is strong and distinct–like that of mustard and black pepper–due to its concentration of mustard oil, which is released when the plant tissue is crushed.
This piquant flavor and aroma lends itself well to a variety of sauces, pizzas, fish meats, and salads. The immature leaves growing on a caper bush may even be eaten as a cooked vegetable and the burnt remnants of the growing caper bush roots have been utilized as a salt substitute. Caper fruits (caperberry, capperone, or taperone) may be used in making caper-flavored sauces or sometimes pickled for eating like small gherkins.
A caper bush also has medicinal uses. Growing capers may be harvested to aid in eliminating flatulence, improving liver function, or for its anti-rheumatic effects. An age-old remedy, growing capers have also been reputed to be useful in treating arteriosclerosis, kidney ailments, diuretics, anemia, arthritis, gout, and dropsy.
How to Grow Capers from Seed
Growing a caper bush can be achieved via propagation from seed, although finding a seed source is more of a challenge. If seed for growing capers is located, one may try growing them in a large pot with a base of coarse rock or crumbled brick. Take care not to overwater as the plant's foliage is a natural water conservator.
Caper seeds are very tiny and germinate readily but in low percentiles. Dried seeds are more difficult to germinate and should be soaked for one day in warm water, then wrapped in damp towel, sealed in a jar and refrigerated for two to three months. Post refrigeration, re-soak seeds overnight and then plant at a depth of 0.5 inches (1 cm.) in a well drained medium.
How to Grow Capers from Cuttings
Collect growing caper berry cuttings in February, March, or April using basal portions with six to ten buds.
For growing a caper bush, seat cuttings in a loose, well-draining soil medium with a heat source at the base. Dipping the stem cutting in a bit of rooting hormone first is also beneficial.
Caring for Caper Plants
Caring for caper plants requires a steady stream of strong sunlight and an arid climate. Growing caper plants have a hardiness range similar to olive trees (18 degrees F. or -8 degrees C.) and can also tolerate summer temperatures of over 105 degrees F. (41 degrees C.).
When growing a caper bush, the plant itself is quite tolerant and develops deep root systems, to better avail itself of its resources in a difficult environment.
When harvesting, size matters. Growing capers are divided into five distinct groups. When growing a caper bush, buds are picked at the immature stage and categorized according to size: nonpareils, capuchins, capotes, seconds, and thirds—with the nonpareils being the most prized — and most expensive. In Italy, capers are graded on a scale from 7 to 16, which indicates their size in millimeters.
What are capers and how are they used? Capers, unopened flower buds found on the caper bush, are the culinary darlings of many cuisines. Read here for tips on growing a caper bush.
How to grow capers
How to grow capers
Mature caper bushes can grow three feet high and spread four or five feet. They require dry heat and intense sunlight to flourish. They will be killed by temperatures below 20 degrees F. In the north, bring the plants inside during the winter or just grow them in pots in a greenhouse. Seeds are dormant and notoriously difficult to germinate. You can just try starting the seeds, but the following technique will give the best success (40-50%).
Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Put seeds in a wet towel, seal in a plastic bag and leave in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. Remove, soak again in warm water for 24 hours. Plant seeds 3/8 inch deep (lcm) in a mixture of potting soil/perlite/sand (50/25/25%). Use 4-6″ pots and put 4-5 seeds per pot. Seeds should germinate in 3-4 weeks. Grow until 3-5″ tall. Save the best plant; cut the rest with a scissors(don 't just pull them out). When transplanting, disturb the root as little as possible. For northem gardeners, when transplanting, protect plant from elements until it has taken (cover with plastic bag for the first 3-4 days, then cut top of the bag to admit some of the elements and leave a week, then remove entire bag) or use row covers. While not the easiest plant to grow, it is worth the effort to harvest and make your own capers.

What Do the Color Marks on Toothpaste Tubes Mean?
Most of the time we don't notice the color coded markings that are found on everyday items sold in stores. While they appear on many products, on toothpaste tubes there's a popular myth that they identify what the toothpaste is made of.
What Do the Color Marks on Toothpaste Tubes Mean?
Last update: 18 May, 2022
For a while now users have been sharing an "urban legend" online, saying that the colors on the base of toothpaste tubes indicate what they're made of and how damaging they can be for your health.
But the information contained in post after post is completely false. In today's article we'll try to clear up what these marks really mean, and whether it's more than just a simple color.
According to the now-viral misinformation that's circulating the web, toothpaste tubes have a different colored square or rectangle at the end of the tube, opposite the opening.
This color varies from brand to brand and supposedly indicates that the product is made up of as follows:
 - Green = Natural products
 - Blue = Natural and medicinal products
 - Red = Natural and chemical components
 - Black = Purely chemical components
Well, as we already said at the beginning of the article, this information is completely false. It is just another urban legend to frighten people.
Because the purpose of this site is to give you as complete information about health as possible, we'll explain what these colored marks really mean. And also, why you shouldn't pay any attention to the alarming posts you read on the internet.

The colors on toothpaste tubes
A man using a toothbrush
The colors that are found on different brands of toothpaste are actually a characteristic of other commercial goods, like milk cartons, cereal boxes, and cookie packages, for example. Those markings are used during the manufacturing and packaging processes as "eye marks," "color marks," or "registration guides."
Their purpose is to indicate to a robotic sensor where the packaging should be cut, bent, or crimped during production. These colors are designed to be darker than the rest of the packaging, so the machine can read them.
In the case of toothpaste, the tubes are manufactured in a location that's completely separate from the product that they will eventually contain. The tubes are made in long, hollow strips. Depending on the intended volume of each one they're divided into sections that are a certain number of inches long.
It's during this process that the "color mark" comes into play. It indicates where the machine should stop and cut the end of each toothpaste tube.

Why are the colors different?
Toothpaste on a toothbrush
But why the different colors? The truth is that the color doesn't matter too much. They vary from brand to brand and by manufacturer.
Each one has its own color that they use as a reference for quality control and ease of detecting a defective batch.
In this way, once again another urban legend that's gone viral on the internet is debunked through careful investigation. This particular legend was a problem for dental professionals because it generated much concern among their patients about dental health.
In any case, if you need more proof just go to your pantry right now and examine the packaging of the products you have stored there. We guarantee you'll find more than two containers that have these marks of many different colors.

A lasher is an ambulatory plant and often hostile. They can be found in the Wailing Caverns, Maraudon, Un'Goro Crater, and Dire Maul. Lashers are elementals in-game, but in lore they are just "plants".
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade introduced new lashers in Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle, and the Botanica.
The lashers in Un'Goro Crater are known as bloodpetals and grow in several different varieties. They are all neutral except the Bloodpetal Pest which is friendly to Alliance players and hostile to Horde players.
Note that there are a number of mobs with lasher in their name, but are not the plant lashers. Some examples are Scorpid Tail Lashers and the hydras named Vorsha the Lasher and Trigore the Lasher.

Fingerprint image enhancement is an essential preprocessing step in fingerprint recognition application. There are many authors proposed the different fingerprint enhancement methods. Most present well-known methods are base on Gabor filters. However, the present proposed Gabor filters almost can not be efficient in some cases such as: the local orientation changes rapidly and the fingerprint image is heavily noisy. This paper proposes a novel filter design technique based on the orientation consistency to improve the Gabor filter with the aim that achieves higher efficiency in clarifying the high curvature ridges of the noisy fingerprint images. It is called adaptive orientation consistency-based Gabor filter (AOC-BGF). Actually, this is the technique which tunes adaptively the Gabor filter window size based on analyzing the orientation consistency. The orientation consistency describes how well the orientations over a neighborhood are consistent with the dominant orientation. The performance of the minutiae detection process on the database FVC2004 DB4 shows the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Say someone purchased clothing on shabbat--knowing that it was a violation--can that clothing be worn?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
Since you say the purchaser knows his act was "a violation", I'll assume he's Jewish. For the same reason, I won't discuss here a case in which someone did a prohibited act without knowing that what he was doing was wrong. (The rules are somewhat different in such a case.) Thus, caveat lector: the below is about cases in which the Shabas-violator knew he was violating Shabas.
If something is cooked by a Jew on Shabas the cooked food cannot be eaten on that Shabas, and is forbidden to him forever. (Shulchan Aruch 318:1.) The commentators note that the same is true for other prohibitions, not just cooking.
But Beur Halacha ("אחת משאר מלאכות", quoting Chaye Adam) says that if a forbidden act done on an object did not physically change the object in any way (e.g. something was carried), then it's prohibited only until the close of Shabas, even for the violator. He (still quoting Chaye Adam) adds that if the forbidden act, though it didn't physically change the object, was a divine prohibition then one should not allow himself that lessening of the restrictions, but should consider the object prohibited as per the general rule above.
But buying clothes on Shabas is usually not a divine prohibition. (It can be in some circumstances.) So in most cases, you would not be allowed to use the garment on Shabas, but it would be permitted afterward. Even if a divine prohibition were violated, the garment would be permitted to everyone but the violator.
This is a general discussion based on Shulchan Aruch and others. If the question is relevant to you, consult your rabbi.

Making Homelessness Applications for Single Refugees
When receiving leave to remain, refugees commonly become homeless.
With demand for housing high, it can be difficult to prove that individuals have a priority need for accommodation. Yet many single refugees suffer from mental and physical health conditions that make them more vulnerable. If this vulnerability is exacerbated by being homeless, councils may have a duty to house them.
Providing an overview of how to support single refugees through a homelessness application, the training will include:
- Understanding what duties councils have towards homeless applicants
- How to support refugees to make a homelessness application
- When and how to challenge homelessness decisions

EXCEPT and INTERSECT (Transact-SQL)
Returns distinct values by comparing the results of two queries.
EXCEPT returns any distinct values from the left query that are not also found on the right query.
INTERSECT returns any distinct values that are returned by both the query on the left and right sides of the INTERSECT operand.
The basic rules for combining the result sets of two queries that use EXCEPT or INTERSECT are the following:
The number and the order of the columns must be the same in all queries.
The data types must be compatible.
When the data types of comparable columns that are returned by the queries to the left and right of the EXCEPT or INTERSECT operands are character data types with different collations, the required comparison is performed according to the rules of collation precedence. If this conversion cannot be performed, the SQL Server Database Engine returns an error.
When you compare rows for determining distinct values, two NULL values are considered equal.
The column names of the result set that are returned by EXCEPT or INTERSECT are the same names as those returned by the query on the left side of the operand.
Column names or aliases in ORDER BY clauses must reference column names returned by the left-side query.
The nullability of any column in the result set returned by EXCEPT or INTERSECT is the same as the nullability of the corresponding column that is returned by the query on the left side of the operand.
If EXCEPT or INTERSECT is used together with other operators in an expression, it is evaluated in the context of the following precedence:
Expressions in parentheses
The INTERSECT operand
EXCEPT and UNION evaluated from left to right based on their position in the expression
If EXCEPT or INTERSECT is used to compare more than two sets of queries, data type conversion is determined by comparing two queries at a time, and following the previously mentioned rules of expression evaluation.
EXCEPT and INTERSECT cannot be used in distributed partitioned view definitions, query notifications.
EXCEPT and INTERSECT may be used in distributed queries, but are only executed on the local server and not pushed to the linked server. Therefore, using EXCEPT and INTERSECT in distributed queries may affect performance.
Fast forward-only and static cursors are fully supported in the result set when they are used with an EXCEPT or INTERSECT operation. If a keyset-driven or dynamic cursor is used together with an EXCEPT or INTERSECT operation, the cursor of the result set of the operation is converted to a static cursor.
When an EXCEPT operation is displayed by using the Graphical Showplan feature in SQL Server Management Studio, the operation appears as a left anti semi join, and an INTERSECT operation appears as a left semi join.
The following examples show using the INTERSECT and EXCEPT operands. The first query returns all values from the Production.Product table for comparison to the results with INTERSECT and EXCEPT.
USE AdventureWorks2012; GO SELECT ProductID FROM Production.Product ; --Result: 504 Rows
The following query returns any distinct values that are returned by both the query on the left and right sides of the INTERSECT operand.
USE AdventureWorks2012; GO SELECT ProductID FROM Production.Product INTERSECT SELECT ProductID FROM Production.WorkOrder ; --Result: 238 Rows (products that have work orders)
The following query returns any distinct values from the query to the left of the EXCEPT operand that are not also found on the right query.
USE AdventureWorks2012; GO SELECT ProductID FROM Production.Product EXCEPT SELECT ProductID FROM Production.WorkOrder ; --Result: 266 Rows (products without work orders)
The following query returns any distinct values from the query to the left of the EXCEPT operand that are not also found on the right query. The tables are reversed from the previous example.
USE AdventureWorks2012; GO SELECT ProductID FROM Production.WorkOrder EXCEPT SELECT ProductID FROM Production.Product ; --Result: 0 Rows (work orders without products)

South Sudan rejoices
THE recent independence of African nation South Sudan was the excuse for a colourful weekend celebration in Coffs Harbour.
The South Sudan Independence Day Cultural Festival at St John's Anglican Church Hall on Saturday brought together Coffs Coast residents from a wide range of backgrounds.
Citizens of the world's newest nation celebrated the independence of their homeland on July 9 but in Coffs Harbour, other events and programs interfered with that date, so the festival was postponed, however, the event showed it was no worse for being a little tardy.
More than 100 people gathered at the church hall with Sudanese people, who were joined by community leaders from many nations including Togo, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Burundi, India and Burma as well as Australians and service providers to the migrant community.
Those who attended heard a presentation from South Sudan community leader Apach Mapieu about the historical background of Sudan, its culture, religious values, heritage and natural resources and economy, as well as the conflict which led to the country being split into two separate states.
Visitors also heard what was happening to members of that community who now live on the Coffs Coast, many of whom are studying, but some of whom have already begun local business ventures.
Dances and songs from different Sudanese areas featured in the afternoon.
Mr Mapieu said they had hoped to have larger numbers at the Independence Day Festival.
"We were targeting 200 but the weather has been a barrier, especially as most of the people do not have vehicles," he said.
"We really appreciate members of the public coming from different groups.
"White and indigenous Australians, the peak organisations like the Anglican church, Anglicare, Settlement and TAFE."
The Multicultural Breakfast Club, run by Sudanese-born Wilson Loyo, will hold its next multicultural breakfast at 10-11am on September 3 at the Cavanbah Centre.
The monthly breakfasts move around different cultures and the September meeting will be an Aussie breakfast, so expect cuisine like bacon and eggs and vegemite on toast.
Everyone is welcome at the breakfast, which is free, with food provided by the breakfast club.
The September event is being held at the Cavanbah Centre because the event has outgrown its original venue at the Coffs Harbour Community Village.


:: Scope qualifier misunderstanding.
Discussion in 'C++' started by bardos, Aug 28, 2004.

 Hello, I'm relatively new to C++ so I hope you can help clear up a
 problem. You may well be able to do so before checking the example, so
 don't be put off by the long post :) The problem regards the usage and
 effect of the :: scope qualifier. I'm converting a Java app to C++ and
 need to find the equivalent of using the Java 'super' keyword. This
 executes the 'superclass's constructor (with possibly different
 arguments from the derived constructor). I thought I would do this by
 using the C++ :: operator, to pick the required base constructor from
 within the derived class. Eg,
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 {
 BaseClass::BaseClass(x , NULL, NULL); // Call different
 constructor.
 }
 I was hoping this would set the values in the derived class using the
 base constructor.
 This compiles fine, but any operation carried out in the base class
 seem to have no effect on the dervied class. Does anyone know why this
 is, and how to remedy this? I've enclosed an example.
 The program has 3 classes, base1, base 2 (inherits base 1) and derived
 (inherits base2). Each class has one int (b1,b2 and d respectively).
 Using :: to call methods to set values b1 and b2 in base1 and base2
 has no effect, leaving the values undefines inthe derived class.
 The program outputs -842150451 -842150451 3 for the 3 values, instead
 of the expected 1,2,3.
 I would really appretiate any help with my misunderstanding,
 Regards,
 Steve.
 // EXAMPLE CODE.
 // Base 1 declaration.
 class base1
 {
 public:
 base1(){}; // Default constructor.
 base1(int);
 int b1;
 };
 base1::base1(int i)

 b1 = i;
 }
 // Base 2 declaration, uses base1 as base class.
 class base2 :public base1
 {
 public:
 base2(){}; // Default constructor.
 base2(int);
 int b2;
 };
 base2::base2(int i)
 {
 b2 = i;
 base1::base1(1);
 }
 // Derived class, uses base2 (and therefore class1) as base classes.

 I think you want:
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 : BaseClass(x , NULL, NULL) // Call different constructor.
 {
 // rest of init there.
 }
 derived::derived(int i)
 : base2(2)
 {
 d = i;
 }

 In C++, the base class constructors all get called automatically,
 before the body of the derived class constructor is executed:

 By this point, the base class constructors and the member objects
 have all been initialized already.

 Actually this creates a new un-named object of type BaseClass,
 which is then destroyed immediately. It is similar to:
 BaseClass foo(x, NULL, NULL);

 You need to specify arguments for the base class constructors before
 the opening { of the derived constructor (if you don't, then the default
 constructors will be called). In fact you can specify initialization
 for any member objects and/or base classes at this point:
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 : BaseClass(x, NULL, NULL), member_int(5)
 {

 This semicolon isn't required (some people would say, the code is
 easier to read without it).

 Preferable is:
 base1::base1(int it)
 : b1(i)
 {
 }
 (Practically speaking, there is no difference, but if 'b1' had been
 a class type with a constructor, then your way would have
 constructed 'b1' with the default constructor first, and then
 assigned 'i' to it: a waste of time).
 > base2::base2(int i)
 > {
 > b2 = i;
 > base1::base1(1);
 > }
 Similarly:
 base2::base2(int i)
 : base1(1), b2(i) {}
 Note that the base classes get initialized before the member objects,
 regardless of what order you list things here, ie. that would have
 been the same as:
 : b2(i), base1(1) {}
 > void main(int argc,char *argv[])
 main() must return an int in C++ (many compilers would refuse to
 compile your example)

 Coming from a Java background you may be unaware that in C++ you
 can create objects with: "Type name(args);" , you should avoid
 using "new" if possible. If you "new" an object you have to
 "delete" it later, but if you create it with the "Type name(args)"
 form, then it is automatically deleted when it goes out of scope.
 Also, C++ programs should end their output with a newline.
 int main()
 {
 derived d(3);
 printf("%d %d %d \n", d.b1, d.b2, d.d);
 // or: std::cout << d.b1 << " " << d.b2 << " " << d.b3 << "\n";
 }

- co-founded by the University of Tartu Institute of Computer Science lecturer, has received a large grant from European Innovation Council's Accelerator.
Thanks to cutting-edge research at the Institute of Computer Science, Better Medicine, a company that automates the analysis of cancer CT scans, has received a boost. Better Medicine was recently awarded with a €2.5 million grant from the European Innovation Council's Accelerator.
, Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence at the Institute of Computer Science and co-founder of Better Medicine,
says that thanks to high-level research in applying artificial intelligence, a company was born that started looking for practical solutions to make life easier for doctors and patients. "At the Institute of Computer Science, we do world-class research that helps companies find and maintain their competitive advantage, and that is why companies should be more bold in investing in R&D,
" says Dmytro Fishman.
The collaboration between the Institute of Computer Science and Better Medicine has been mutually beneficial and has resulted in an innovative way to analyse CT scans. In particular, the AI-powered solution, unlike other methods in use, is able to detect the metastatic spread of cancer in different organs throughout the body and assess disease progression and response to treatment. Given that metastatic cancer is responsible for 90% of all cancer deaths, Better Medicine is transforming the diagnostic market by significantly reducing the time to diagnose metastases.
The European Innovation Council Accelerator has recently provided support to several Estonian health technology start-ups. Among others, Better Medicine received a €2.5 million grant.
"It is really hard to overstate the importance of this accomplishment for our company, but also for the entire field. I could not be happier. Years of research are being put into practice for the sake of doctors and patients. This is really the main reason why I became a scientist.
" added Dmytro Fishman.

Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each
 Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each
Item# 619191919191
Regular price: $49.99
Sale price: $39.99
Availability: Usually ships the same business day
Product Description
Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each Our Bison Rib Eye Steaks comes from American Bison Meat. This package includes TWO (2) Premium Center Cut Bison Rib Eye Steaks. 8 oz. Each.
Is it buffalo or bison? The American Buffalo is it not buffalo. Its closest relatives are the European Bison, or Wisent, and the Canadian Woods Bison, not the buffalo of Asia or Africa, such as the Cape Buffalo or Water Buffalo. Scientifically, the American Buffalo is named Bison and belongs to the Bovidae family of mammals, as do domestic cattle. Because our history has so ingrained in us the name "Buffalo," we still use it, although "bison" and "buffalo" are used interchangeably. *
A brief history Bison once roamed the plains in numbers so large that early explorers could not count them. Variously described as: "numbers-numberless," "the country was one black robe," and "the plains were black and appeared as if in motion."
The bison has been called the important wild animal in the development of North America. They were the center of the life of the Plains Indians, providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and much of their culture. Bison also sustained the lives of the explorers and settlers going West.


liquor liabilityUnder dram shop liability laws, a party injured by an intoxicated person can sue establishments contributing to that person's intoxication. The term "dram shop" was derived from 18th century English taverns that sold gin by the spoonful, called a dram. Dram shop laws are established by each state.
Dram shop laws can apply to:
 - bars
 - liquor stores
 - restaurants
 - social clubs and private events where liquor is served
The laws also include prohibitions against selling liquor without a license, selling liquor after hours, and selling liquor to minors. For example, if a person has several alcoholic drinks at a restaurant or bar and is visibly intoxicated, and then gets in a car and kills someone on the way home, the owner of the serving establishment can be sued for damages. A dram shop case is often a component of a larger accident case such as a DWI. The statute of limitations on the dram shop portion of the case differs from those that apply to the other claims made in the case.


IOM (ESM) removed
An IOM has either been removed from the drive shelf or is present but is being reported as removed because it is not seated correctly.
 - Although the drive shelf is still operational, you should correct this failure as soon as possible. If the other IOM or its communication path fails, all I/O to that drive shelf will fail.
 - Both IOMs in the same drive shelf must have the same firmware version and be of the same hardware type.
Risk of data loss
Make sure you correctly identify the affected IOM. Removing the remaining optimal IOM or disconnecting drive shelf cables to it while I/O is in progress can cause data loss.
Possible loss of data accessibility
Before proceeding, ensure that the OK to remove field in the Details area indicates Yes. If No is displayed, it indicates that there is another component that must be serviced first. Always select Recheck prior to and after servicing a component to ensure that there aren't any new problems that may affect the component you plan to service.
Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components
Always use proper anti-static protection when handling components. Touching components without using a grounding wrist strap may damage equipment.
Recovery Steps
 1. Is the affected IOM shown in the Location field in the Details area still in the drive shelf or has it been removed?
 - If the IOM is still in the drive shelf, go to step 2.
 - If the IOM has been removed, go to step 5.
 2. Without removing the cables, remove the IOM.
 3. Check the connectors on both the IOM and inside the shelf that housed the IOM for any problems such as bent or dirty pins and fix if necessary.
 4. Reinsert the IOM, and then go to step 6.
 5. Reinsert the IOM or, if necessary, replace it with a new one.
 6. Wait 40 seconds, then select Recheck to ensure the problem has been resolved.

Utilities for turn-based games
It is recommended that you read the Get Started tutorial before progressing with this tutorial.
Turn-based games often require more detailed control over which nodes that units can traverse as well as the cost for traversing those nodes, which may vary between units. On the other hand maximum pathfinding performance is not always needed since most units will be stationary at any one time.
It is possible to update all movement costs and similar attributes for nodes in the graph before every path request however this is not a particularly clean solution so this package provides some other ways to do this.
If you need even more control you can take a look at the ITraversalProvider section.
Blocking nodes
The most common scenario is that one wants to block certain nodes from being traversed by some units but not by others. For example in a turn based game one usually want to prevent units from standing on the same tile, however a unit should obviously not be blocked by itself.
For this purpose the BlockManager component and the accompanying SingleNodeBlocker component exist. The SingleNodeBlocker is intended to be used as an easy way of blocking specific nodes where each SingleNodeBlocker component blocks exactly one node. The BlockManager component will keep track of all the SingleNodeBlocker components and allows the creation of TraversalProvider instances which can be used in paths to specify additional nodes that are blocked.
A separate example of this can be viewed in the example scene called "Turnbased". This example scene depends on pro features however so it is not included in the free version of the package. The features mentioned in this tutorial do not require the pro version.
In this tutorial we will create a new scene and a few scripts to test the API.
Create a new scene and save it in your project, name it "TurnBasedTest" or whatever you feel like. Add a new GameObject and name it "BlockManager" then select it and attach the BlockManager component to it.
Now add a sphere and place it at (1.5, 0, 2.5). This will put it right in the center of a node. Add the SingleNodeBlocker script to it and assign the BlockManager component we created earlier to the "manager" field on the SingleNodeBlocker component. Make sure you delete the collider on the sphere because otherwise the sphere will be detected as an obstacle anyway and we want to use the SingleNodeBlocker for that. Create another GameObject and name it "A*", then add the AstarPath component to it (Menu bar -> Pathfinding -> Pathfinder). You can add a large plane to the scene if you want, just to have something to have as a ground plane. Add a Grid Graph to the AstarPath component and set the "Unwalkable when no ground" setting to false. If you click the Scan button now you should see a small empty grid with a single sphere. Note that the sphere does NOT block any node in the graph by itself.
Now we want that SingleNodeBlocker to actually block some position, so create a new C# script named "BlockerTest.cs" and add this code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Pathfinding;
public class BlockerTest : MonoBehaviour {
public void Start () {
var blocker = GetComponent();
Add that new script to the sphere that we created earlier. When the game starts, that script make the SingleNodeBlocker component tell the BlockManager that it now occupies the node at that object's position. This is not enough however because no path knows that a node has been blocked yet.
To actually calculate a path we will create a new script called "BlockerPathTest.cs" which should contain this code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Pathfinding;
public class BlockerPathTest : MonoBehaviour {
public BlockManager blockManager;
public List obstacles;
public Transform target;
BlockManager.TraversalProvider traversalProvider;
public void Start () {
// Create a traversal provider which says that a path should be blocked by all the SingleNodeBlockers in the obstacles array
traversalProvider = new BlockManager.TraversalProvider(blockManager, BlockManager.BlockMode.OnlySelector, obstacles);
public void Update () {
// Create a new Path object
var path = ABPath.Construct(transform.position, target.position, null);
// Make the path use a specific traversal provider
path.traversalProvider = traversalProvider;
// Calculate the path synchronously
if (path.error) {
Debug.Log("No path was found");
} else {
Debug.Log("A path was found with " + path.vectorPath.Count + " nodes");
// Draw the path in the scene view
for (int i = 0; i < path.vectorPath.Count - 1; i++) {
Debug.DrawLine(path.vectorPath[i], path.vectorPath[i + 1], Color.red);
This script will calculate a path every frame from its own position to the target's position while using a TraversalProvider that was created to make the path avoid any obstacles in the specified list.
The BlockManager.TraversalProvider has 2 modes. AllExceptSelector and OnlySelector. If the AllExceptSelector mode is set then all nodes blocked by SingleNodeBlocker components will be treated as unwalkable except those in the specified list. This is useful if you for example want a unit to avoid all units except itself, or maybe you want it to avoid all units on its own team but no opponents. When the OnlySelector is set then all nodes which are blocked by SingleNodeBlockers in the list will be treated as unwalkable. For performance reasons it is a good idea to keep the selector list relatively small.
Create a new GameObject with the name "Target" and position it at for example (3.5, 0, 3.5). Also create a GameObject named "Path Searcher" and add the new BlockerPathTest component to it. Move the object to the position (-2.5, 0, 3.5) and assign the "Block Manager" and "Target" fields. Now press play, you should see a red line that goes from the "Path Searcher" to the "Target". Note that it passes through the sphere as if it was not there. This is because we haven't added it to the "Obstacles" list on the searcher.
If you stop the game and then add the sphere's SingleNodeBlocker component to the list and press play again you should see that it is now being avoided.
Now we could expand this easily to for example create a number of red spheres and a number of blue spheres and make two searchers where one considers just the blue spheres as obstacles and one considers just the red spheres as obstacles. You can see this in the video below.
The above system works for simple cases and is pretty easy to use. However for more complicated cases it is better to use the ITraversalProvider interface. Any path can be assigned a traversalProvider which has two methods bool CanTraverse (Path path, GraphNode node);
uint GetTraversalCost (Path path, GraphNode node);
The CanTraverse method should just return true or false depending on if the unit should be able to traverse that node. The GetTraversalCost method should return the additional cost for traversing that node. By default if no tags or penalties are used then the traversal cost is zero. A cost of 1000 corresponds roughly to the cost of moving 1 world unit.
As a reference, the default implementation would be
public class MyCustomTraversalProvider : ITraversalProvider {
public bool CanTraverse (Path path, GraphNode node) {
// Make sure that the node is walkable and that the 'enabledTags' bitmask
// includes the node's tag.
return node.Walkable && (path.enabledTags >> (int)node.Tag & 0x1)!= 0;
// alternatively:
// return DefaultITraversalProvider.CanTraverse(path, node);
public uint GetTraversalCost (Path path, GraphNode node) {
// The traversal cost is the sum of the penalty of the node's tag and the node's penalty
return path.GetTagPenalty((int)node.Tag) + node.Penalty;
// alternatively:
// return DefaultITraversalProvider.GetTraversalCost(path, node);
By implementing a custom ITraversalProvider you can change the penalties however you want to suit your game's rules. Note that the grid graph for performance reasons removes all connections to unwalkable nodes, so even if you would remove the "node.Walkable &&" part in the traversal provider a path on grid graphs would still not traverse unwalkable nodes. You can only make nodes unwalkable, not make unwalkable nodes walkable again.
If multithreading is enabled the ITraversalProvider's methods will be called from a separate thread. This means you cannot use any part of the Unity API (except things like math) and you need to make sure your code is thread safe.
When you have implemented an ITraversalProvider you can assign it to a path like was done above. var path = ABPath.Construct(...);
path.traversalProvider = new MyCustomTraversalProvider();
You can find another example of how to use the ITraversalProvider here: CircuitBoardExample.cs

Wristwatch gives remote control of computer
October 10, 2001 | Source: New Scientist
A new high-tech watchstrap that gives its wearer remote control over a wearable computer has been demonstrated in Switzerland.The GestureWrist, developed by Jun Rekimoto of Sony's Computer Science Laboratory in Tokyo, Japan, uses sensors embedded into a normal watch strap. These track a wearer's arm movements and the opening and closing their hand, relaying this information to a computer kept somewhere on their person.
GestureWrist uses a tilt sensor beneath the wrist watch to measure directional movement and acceleration and "capacitance sensing" to detect different hand shapes, such as open and closed.

Parabola recording
The Macaulay Library is here to help you meet the challenges of recording birds and other animals in the wild. This page contains tips on how to maximize the quality of your recordings.
Know your gear
Check that your gear is functioning properly before taking it into the field. Be sure you know how it works and you feel comfortable setting it up and using it. This makes it more likely you can take advantage of great recording opportunities in the field. The more comfortable you are with your equipment, the more enjoyable your experience and the better your recordings will be. For information on choosing recording gear, check out our recording equipment pages, as well as our 2019 gear review.
Create uncompressed.WAV files
WAV is the standard audio format used at the Macaulay Library, the Library of Congress, and other sound archives dedicated to the long-term preservation of audio. WAV is an uncompressed audio format that provides an accurate copy of wildlife sounds, maximizing the usefulness of your recordings for research and conservation today and in the future. By contrast, compressed file types like MP3 and M4A are often the default on smartphones and other recorders, but discard audio information that can be important. Learn more about WAV files and compression.
Get close to your subject
Getting closer dramatically increases the volume of your target compared to the background, resulting in a cleaner, more audible recording. Cutting your distance in half doubles the perceived loudness of the desired signal, and is a good goal to strive for when approaching a bird. Get closer, but try to move slowly and quietly, being careful not to disturb your subject.
Aim your microphone
Position the microphone to minimize obstructions between it and the vocalizing animal. When using a directional microphone, aim it directly at the subject. This is especially important when using a parabolic microphone system, given its extreme directionality. Keep your eye on your subject (if you can see it) so you can follow its movements and keep it "in focus." Consider adjusting your position to reduce interfering noise: put your back to unwanted noise if you are using a parabola and put the noise to the side if you are using a shotgun microphone. The proper aim will increase the quality of the recording while reducing the interference of background noise.
Set the record level to avoid distortion
If your recorded sound is louder than your recorder's maximum level (0 dB on the recorder's meter), you will introduce distortion into your recording. To avoid this, set your record level so that the loudest part of the target vocalization peaks at a safe level (such as -12 dB). Check the record level of your target species and adjust the level before you press record. Note that with 32-bit recorders like the Sound Devices MixPre-3 II, level-setting is much less important and distorted recordings can be recovered. Most recording devices still do not enjoy this benefit, however.
Peaking at a safe level (left); distortion occurring (right)
Don't adjust the record level during the recording
Set the record level at the start of each recording and, if possible, leave it unchanged for the remainder of the recording. Changing the record level during a recording results in an uneven sound that affects the quality of the recording. Try to only adjust the level if your subject becomes so loud that you risk distortion (see above.)
Make longer recordings
The most valuable recordings are ones that capture many calls or songs, or capture the variation of calls and songs. If you are in a good situation, it is worth recording for several minutes. However, also consider whether you have the opportunity to get closer or otherwise take action to obtain a better recording. If so, you may wish to end your first recording after a minute or two and try for a better opportunity. The better the quality of the recording, the more worthwhile it is to keep going. And the longer you record, the more likely it is that your subject will do something interesting!
Find quiet, be quiet
Microphones are sensitive and will pick up everything around them. Everyday sounds like traffic, airplanes, and moving water can be tuned out by our brains, but show up as unwanted background noise in recordings. If you can find an area where these noises are less prominent, it will be much easier to obtain a clean recording.
It is also important to remember that microphones pick up sounds close to them better than distant birds, and nothing is closer to the microphone than you. Be aware of the sounds you or your companions make. Try not to move, walk, talk, or otherwise make noise during a recording, and ask any companions with you ahead of time to do the same. Minimize handling noise by being careful about how you hold your microphone or recording device. A shock mount for a microphone is very useful for reducing unwanted bumps and clicks caused by your hand. A windscreen also reduces the impact gusts of wind have on your recordings. Finally, keeping yourself quiet is easier when you wear "quiet" clothing like fleece, wool, or cotton, rather than noisier clothing like a raincoat.
Make a voice announcement
It's easy to lose track of exactly what happened during a particular recording, especially if you're cataloging it days or weeks after it was made. Making a voice announcement at the end of each recording can help you and future listeners figure out what was going on and capture important contextual information that may be relevant to the sound the bird was making. Describe basic information such as the species, date, time, and location. Most importantly, describe the behavior of the bird. Where was it when you recorded it? What was it doing? Was it moving around or on a perch? Were there other individuals or species that made sounds in the recording or that may have influenced the vocalizations of your subject? Anything you can say about what was going on is valuable information and can be hard to figure out later on. Habitat, weather, and recording equipment can also be useful to mention, perhaps in your first recording of the morning.
Review, organize, edit, and upload your field recordings
You put in a lot of hard work to get your recordings, so don't waste your efforts, share them with the world! The sooner you can organize your files and get them archived, the less likely it is that any data will be lost. Try keeping them organized in folders by day, then follow our archival editing suggestions and upload them to your eBird checklist!
