 Question on how to create a product velocity calculation (and Joe Mako's Order of Tableau Filter Operations)
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I feel like there should be a fairly easy way to do this.

 What I am trying to do is create a 'bucket' for customers based upon the # of transactions that customer had.

 I can manually determine the breakpoints, so I'm not looking for any complex calculation there.

 But what I can not figure out is how to get the count of records by customer_id in a calculation

 I want to be able to say

 If x > 50 then 'High'
 else if x > 10 then 'Medium'
 else 'Low'

 but I am not certain if you can calculate 'X'

 I know you can do this by manually adding them to groups, but I was hoping not to go that direction.

 And I need the 'High', 'Medium', 'Low' available in views, so I do not think a set is appropriate.

 Mike Hyde
 Do you just need to count up the number of transactions by customer and then assign a label?
 If so, you can use a calculated field with:

 SUM([Number of Records])

 to calculate the number of records. If you arrange the view so that the data is split by customers, then it will calculate the number of records for each customer. Whenever you use an aggregating function like SUM() in a calculated field, it will aggregate according to however you layout the sheet in question. In this example, you could then assign the labels using an IF statement, eg:

 If SUM([Number of Records])>24 THEN "High"
 Elseif SUM([Number of Records])>20 THEN "Medium"
 Else "Low"

 END

 See attached for example.

 Rust Cadwallader
 The problem is I do not necessarily want to split the data by customers

 I want to basically classify each customer as 'High', 'Medium' or 'Low' (think Group) and then use that value in the view

 So that I could I would see
 Region1 --> High --> C1
 Region1--> High --> C2
 Region1 --> High --> C3
 Region1 --> Medium--> C4
 Region1--> Medium --> C5
 Region1 --> Medium --> C6
 Region1 --> Low--> C7
 Region1--> Low --> C8
 Region1 --> Low --> C9
 Region2 --> High --> C11
 Region2 --> Medium --> C13

 I know you can do it using groups, what I was wondering was if there was a way to do this using Calculations.

 Joe Mako
 You could be looking for a custom table calculation. If you can provide a sample data set and detail what you expect for a result and interactions you want to allow for, an example can be created for you.
 - 4. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 Use the Sample Coffee Chain data set.

 What I want to be able to do is create a calculation for Products:

 if a product sold more than 400, it is high
 if a product sold 200 - 400 it is medium
 if a product sold less than 200, it is low

 And that classification stays with the product, regardless of other filters, slicers, etc

 I know this can be done creating a second datasource and linking the data sources via the product, where the secondary data source has:

 if sum([Number of Records]) > 400 then "High"
 elseif sum([Number of Records]) > 200 then "Medium"
 else "Low"
 end

 And then dropping that calculation on a view with the product from the original.

 But is there some other way to accomplish this using table calculations that does not involve duplicating the data source
 - 5. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yes, you can do that. Sheet2 in the attached.

 I'm not sure which way is best - that might depend on data volumes and distribution.
 - 6. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 Hmmm that "Late State Filter" is some special kind of voodoo. You're using some derived table calc to act as a filter in such a way that the entire data set is included when the first table calc (total sales for all states) is evaluated?

 I'm guessing this isn't really documented anywhere...?
 - 7. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Yeah, I intended to explain that when I posted that example but got interrupted.

 Filters on calculated fields which involve table calculations are evaluated by Tableau after all table calculations have been evaluated (unlike normal filters which are passed to the database and restrict the rows returned to Tableau).

 So the voodoo is just a trick to force a filter that you really just want on a plain old field to be evaluated after table calculations have been evaluated. I just called it "Late State Filter" because I want the filter evaluated later than everything else. The trick is just to use the LOOKUP() table calculation function to lookup the value in the current row (LOOKUP([X], 0) just says lookup the value of [X] that is zero rows away from the current row). You never need to worry about setting the partitioning on that field because the current row is always the current row, whatever your partitions are.

 I've never seen it documented, I think I thought of it for myself (or maybe I got it from Joe). It's a useful trick which often comes in handy.
 - 8. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Mike Hyde
 That is an excellent trick for sure. There are several times when I wanted to do that, and often ended up using "hide" to visually remove some items but keep them included in the rest of the calculations. This is much better than hiding things though, as the problem with hide is that if your data changes and a new value appears then the new value will not be hidden by default, causing some visuals to mess up.

 Joe used this in an example yesterday as well, so thanks for explaining!

 Having some kind of transparency around calculation order and table calc setups (partitioning and sorting) would be a great improvement to Tableau. It's the one area of Tableau that still feels like voodoo to me whereas they've done a terrific job of making most other things very transparent and intuitive.

 Thanks again
 Mike
 - 9. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Rust Cadwallader
 So I like the trick.

 However, my goal was to be able to get a value that would never change, regardless of how you slice the data. If I go into your view and add a filter on market size to 'Major', the sales change. Most of the time, this is what you would want, but in this case, I want to know the overall total sales, not just the sales within the filtered data.

 I need a way to tell the calculation not to take into account the filters, slicers etc.

 For example, Cafee Latte is 'Medium', and is always in the 'Medium' total sales grouping regardless of any other factors because when you take the data as a whole, that is where it falls.

 Linking the datasources gives me that because the linked data source doesn't appear to take into account the filters and I get the 'whole' values.
 - 10. Re: Question on how to create a product velocity calculation
 Richard Leeke
 Rust: Yes, the linking approach is much better from that perspective. I use blending back to the same datasource for that sort of thing quite a lot. I was just demonstrating what you have to do to make it work with table calculations. But you would have to apply the "late filtering" trick to every filter you wanted to apply to the sheet, and also add that field as a dimension to one of the shelves if not already there to make the table calculation approach work the way you want.

 Mike: I agree about the lack of transparency of order of operations. Joe has made several impassioned pleas for that on the forums over the last year or so - and in fact there is a thread somewhere where one of the Tableau folk (maybe James or Robert I think) made a very good start on that - but the thread never pinned down some of the finer points. So there's still a lot of voodoo.

 The whole topic of Table Calculations still has lots that is unexplained for me. There was a monster thread I started on table calculations about a year ago in which Ross Bunker from Tableau explained quite a lot of that - and left us with tantalising hints of lots more explanation to come in an advanced table calculations document he was writing - but I don't think that ever saw the light of day. It's almost as if there is a reluctance to document the hard stuff adequately for fear of confusing people (so instead we get left to confuse ourselves on our own).

On the acoustic response of a generic gas turbine fuel injector passage
2019-01-31T14:39:51Z (GMT) by
A current trend in the design of modern aero engines is the transition towards leaner combustion as a solution to satisfy increasingly stringent emission regulations. Lean combustion systems are often more susceptible to thermoacoustic instability and the fuel injector can play a critical role. This paper presents an analytical study on the unsteady air flow through a generic injector passage in response to incident acoustic waves. The injector passage is represented by a simplified geometry which comprises the main geometrical passage features. The unsteady flow through the passage is obtained by combining the elemental solutions for different parts of the passage. This enables the transfer impedance of the injector passage to be determined and the effects of different design parameters on the sensitivity of the air flow to acoustic perturbations to be examined. The convective wave associated with the unsteady swirl vane wakes is also visited and compared with the results from the numerical simulations obtained in previous works. In addition to helping derive design practices for injector passages from the perspective of thermoacoustic instability, the current analysis can also be applied as a preliminary design tool to assess the acoustic characteristics for an injector passage of the axial swirler type.

Template:Image requestedEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Revision as of 06:59, 13 October 2011 by Cottrells (Talk | contribs)
This template is used to request that someone take a photograph for an article or add an image (from another source) to an article.
It is not a general-purpose "no image present" indicator. Editors placing this template on a talk page should provide information about what photographs are wanted.
Categorize your request
Although it is possible to add just the template {{image requested}} to a talk page it is strongly advised that you add at least one category parameter. If you don't categorize your request, it will be lost in a large list, Category:Articles needing images, and may not receive attention from subject/regional photographers, and it is more likely to be deleted by other editors.
For example, if a picture of a specific car is required then the following should be added to the talk page: {{image requested|cars}} - this will then be added to Category:Requested photographs of cars. Picture of places are sorted by location, for example {{image requested|in=Norway}}
Adding more than one subject to the list of parameters will bring it to the attention of more people. If, for example, the subject is found in a location (or predominantly is in one country) then you can add more additional categories like so: {{image requested|computer equipment|in=Russia}}
If you are requiring a specific image of the article subject, it is possible to add detailed text. For example, in the talk page of a specific building: {{image requested|architecture|in=London|of=main entrance hall}}
For a full list of categories in use, go to Category:Articles needing images. When selecting a category please click down to the most relevant sub-category and select the most appropriate to the topic of the article requiring a photograph. Adding more than one subject category in the template is recommended.
Explain your request
If the subject matter isn't perfectly obvious (such as an article about a physical object), please explain your request on the talk page. It is very helpful to give photographers your ideas, particularly for abstract ideas, such as legal and philosophical concepts.
If you have a specific idea for another image, then use the |of= parameter to name the specific picture that you would like. This is particularly helpful if there are already images in the article.
Unexplained and uncategorized templates may be deleted by any editor.
The template employs several optional data field parameters as described below.
{{Image requested
Parameters legend
 - 1=: may be passed to indicate an appropriate topic subcategory. The positional parameter alternatively may be unnamed (e.g., instead of "|1=xxx", the string "|xxx" would have the same results as "|1=xxx").
Up to three positional parameters (e.g., 1=, 2=, 3=) may be used to specify appropriate subcategories. For example, use {{image requested|1=sportspeople|2=musicians}} or {{image requested|sportspeople|musicians}} to add the page to Category:Requested photographs of sportspeople and Category:Requested photographs of musicians.
 - of=: may be passed to indicate what the subject of the photograph should be.
 - in=: specifies where the photograph may best be taken, and adds the article to the appropriate location subcategory (e.g. {{image requested|in=England}} adds the article to Category:England articles needing images)
Additional in2=, in3=,... up to in20= parameters may be used to specify up to twenty location categories (such as for roads that cross multiple counties or celebrities and others who may frequent multiple locations).
 - collapsed=: may be set to collapsed=yes to close up the template message box.
If more than six locations are specified (e.g., in=, in2=, in3=, in4=, in5=, in6=, in7=... are used), the template message box will collapse automatically without using the collapsed= parameter. Specifying collapsed=no will keep the template message box expanded no matter how many in= parameters are specified (e.g., no matter how many locations are specified).
 - small=: toggles the message box from standard size to small, if small=yes.
 - category=: suppresses the automatic categorization if category=no.
 - free=: if free=yes, the substituted text will explicitly request a freely-licensed photograph.
 - If no category or location parameters are present, this template adds the article to Category:Articles needing images.
{{image requested| |of=|in=|in2=|in3=}}
Alternatives to this template
As an alternative, some talk page WikiProject banners can also list an article as needing a photograph. However, where the talk page banners do not highlight a need for a photograph in an article or where photographs for the article are requested in more than three locations, this template may be placed on the talk (discussion) page of the article, instead.
Another alternative is to find existing photographs that might meet the needs.

Snapchat. One of those revolutionary apps that made an undeniable impact on the way social media apps work. Firstly introduced as iOS exclusive, later take a significant role within Android, too. And suddenly, it started declining to levels that make it almost unusable. Android users report Snapchat crashes, stutters, and overall poor performance. If you are among them, we have a few things to try and mitigate these issues, if not outright solve them.
Table of contents:
How to resolve Snapchat stutters and crashes on Android
If your Snapchat lags, stutters, or crashes on Android, make sure to clear data from the app, reinstall Snapchat, or roll back to an older version via an APK.
It goes without saying that you should be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network or mobile data network. Learn more below.
1. Clear apps cache and data
Let's start with the acknowledged route. Cache and data are there for a reason. Data is, obviously, everything you or the app itself stores on the internal storage. Cache, on the other hand, is there to speed the app's loading time and it contains temporary files. Both are important and both, sadly, can sometimes cause issues.
Follow the instructions below to clear both Data and Cache from the Snapchat app:
- Tap Settings.
- Open Apps or Application Manager.
- Open All apps.
- Tap Snapchat.
- Open Storage.
- Clear Cache and Data.
- Restart your device.
After that, you might need to sign in again with your credentials. If nothing changed and Snapchat still crashes, move through the additional steps.
2. Reinstall the Snapchat app
Even though the Android platform is much more homogenous nowadays, system update or structural changes within the system can affect the behavior of certain apps. And if an app is in a state in which is Snapchat currently, nothing should surprise you. Reinstallation is one way to address this.
Here's how to reinstall Snapchat on Android:
- Tap and hold the Snapchat app in the App drawer or on the Home screen.
- Drag it to the top and Uninstall it.
- Restart your device.
- Open Play Store.
- Search for Snapchat.
- Install the app.
3. Download older APK version
If the current, or even the latest few versions were causing issues, you can always downgrade by downloading the older, well-performing version. This procedure isn't as simple as roaming through Play Store, but it might help you overcome the current issues you're facing.
Here's what you need to do:
- Navigate to APKMirror, here, and download an older (but recent) APK version of Snapchat. Beta versions are also an option but we suggest avoiding them due to the aforementioned stability issues.
- Uninstall the Snapchat app.
- Allow app installation from external sources.
- Install APK, sign in, and look for improvements.
Don't forget to tell us in the comments section below. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

SAS Companion for the Microsoft Windows Environment
Overview of the SAS System Interface
The main SAS window contains all other SAS application windows. The main SAS window is completely configurable, allowing you to use its features in a way that is productive for you. The Main SAS Window shows the main SAS window as it appears when you first start the SAS System. This section briefly describes the features of the window.
The Main SAS Window
[IMAGE]
The following are the primary components of the main SAS window:
menu bar
presents the menus available for the active SAS application window. As you switch between application windows, the menu bar changes. Similarly, the pop-up menus that appear when you click on the right mouse button inside an application window are dependent on that window.
command bar
provides a way to quickly enter any SAS command. The command bar retains a list of the commands that you enter. To repeat a command that you entered previously, select the command from the drop-down list and click on the check mark button or press Enter. To switch the keyboard focus to the command bar, press F11 (the function key defined as COMMAND BAR).
toolbar
provides quick access to the commands you perform most often. The toolbar is completely configurable and can contain up to 30 tools. You can associate different sets of tools with different SAS application windows. When you create a tool, you specify the tool button, the commands associated with the tool, help text displayed on the status line, and the tip text. The bitmap browser provides hundreds of images that you can use to represent your commands on the toolbar.
windowing environment
contains a workspace to open windows within the main SAS window. Certain windows, such as windows used for navigation, can dock to the left side of the main SAS window when Docking view is enabled from the Preferences dialog box. Windows that cannot dock to the main SAS window open to the right of the docking area. For more information about using dockable windows, see Using the Docking View.
window bar
is located at the bottom of the main SAS window and provides easy access to any window within the main SAS window. When a window opens, a button is placed in the window bar representing that window. Whenever you want access to a window, click on the button for that window. That window then becomes the active window. You can also load a file into the application by dragging a file to a window bar button to make the window active and then continue dragging the file into the window. The window bar can be enabled and disabled from either the Preferences dialog box or the window bar pop-up menu.
status line
contains a message area, the current folder for the SAS System, and the Enhanced Editor cursor positon. The message area displays help text for menus and tools, as well as messages that are specific to SAS application windows. The current folder area displays the name of the current working folder. To change the current folder, double-click on the current folder area. For more information about changing the current folder, see Changing the SAS Current Folder. The Enhanced Editor cursor position displays the current line and column when the Enhanced Editor is the active window. The status line can be enabled and disabled from the Preferences dialog box. The message line, the current folder, and the cursor position can be enabled and disabled from the either the Preferences dialog box or the status line pop-up menu.
Accessing SAS Commands, Tools, and Options from Menus
You can access SAS commands, tools, and options by selecting them from the menus at the top of the main SAS window or by using the pop-up menus within application windows. The menus display options available to the active window. To access a pop-up menu for a particular window, click on the right mouse button anywhere within the window. The pop-up menu that appears contains the menu items available for that particular window.
Some SAS windows (such as the Explorer window) along with the main SAS window can contain objects that have their own pop-up menus when you right-click on an object. For example, the command bar, the toolbar and the status line each have a pop-up menu. In these windows, the pop-up menu is specific to the selected object.
Using the Docking View
The SAS System for Windows makes it easier for you to access files using the docking view. When the docking view is enabled, certain windows are docked to the left side of the main SAS window. These windows are typically used for navigation. When you double click on an object in a docked window, a window containing the contents of the object opens in the right side of the main SAS window.
The docking view is enabled or disabled
The WDOCKVIEW command without any arguments toggles the docking view.
Each docked window has a tab at the bottom of the docking area for easy access to the window. When the number of docked windows is large enough so that you cannot identify the tabs, a left and right arrow are displayed for you to navigate through the docked windows.
Docked windows cannot be individually moved or resized. To enlarge or contract the docking area, place the cursor over the split bar between the docking area and the remaining portion of the main SAS window. Then click and hold down the left mouse button. Move the mouse to the left or right to resize the docking area.
If you prefer to dock or undock individual windows, you can toggle the Docked command using the docked window's pop-up menu (click the right mouse button on the window's tab) or by selecting
Window
[arrow]
Docked
For more information on docking or undocking all windows, see View Preferences and WDOCKVIEW.
Using the Window Bar
The window bar is a reserved space at the bottom of the main SAS window used to display a button for each opened window within the SAS System. You then have immediate access to any opened window. When you click on a button in the window bar, that window becomes the active window and is displayed on top of all other windows. When you click on the button for the active window, the window is minimized.
When you open enough windows so that not all buttons fit in the window bar using the default button size, SAS decreases the button size. If the button size is small enough that you cannot read the button, you can place the mouse cursor over a button and a ScreenTip tells you the window name. You enable ScreenTips using the Preferences dialog box or by entering WSCREENTIPS in the command bar. For more information enabling ScreenTips, see View Preferences and WSCREENTIPS.
An easy way to load a file into an application that accepts file input, such as the Program Editor or the Enhanced Editor, is to drag the file to the application's button on the window bar which makes the application the active window. Then continue dragging the file to the application window. Release the mouse button to load the file into the application. You cannot drag a file onto a button. Dragging a file onto a button causes the window for that button to become the active window.
Each button on the window bar has a menu associated with it. To access the menu, place the cursor over the button and click the right mouse button.
You can enable and disable the window bar either from the Preferences dialog box, the status line and window bar pop-up menus, or by entering WWINDOWBAR in the command bar.
Learning about the Main SAS Window
To learn about the different parts of the main SAS window, the SAS System provides different types of screen help. The screen help is either a message that displays in the message area of the status line or a one or two word screen tip. The message area descriptions are available for menus, the command bar, and items in the toolbar. Screen tips are available for the command bar, toolbar buttons, the docking area tabs, the window bar buttons, and the status line.
If you would like a description of a menu or a menu item, select the menu or menu item, and hold down the mouse button. As the mouse pointer passes over the menu or menu item, a description of the item displays in the message area of the status line. For example, when you select the File pull-down menu, the status line displays "Perform file-related operations." As you drag the mouse to highlight the items under the File menu, the message area displays a short description of each item.
When you place the cursor over a toolbar button, a screen tip displays by the icon and a longer description displays in the message area.
For other parts of the main SAS window, such as the docking area tabs, the window bar buttons, and the status line, by placing the cursor over the item and holding it there for a second, a one or two word screen tip pops up. When you place the cursor over a window bar button, the screen tip contains the window name. This is very useful when you have several windows open and the window buttons are too small to read the window name.
If you customize the commands available from the toolbar, you can also specify the descriptions (Tip Text and Help Text) that appear as screen tip help and a message in the message area. To learn more about changing the toolbar, see Customizing the Toolbar.
To enable or disable command bar or toolbar screen tips, you can use either the Show ScreenTips on toolbars option in the Customize dialog box Toolbars page or enter the TOOLTIP command in the command bar. All other screen tips can be enabled or disabled using the ScreenTip option in the Preferences dialog box View page or by using the W

Jarofix Waste Material in Embankment Construction
Authors: Prakash, Ritesh Kumar, Rakesh Meena
Country: India View / Download Full Text PDF File
Due to the large-scale road infrastructural development in India, conventional soil is depleting very fast while different industries are producing a huge amount of waste materials as by-products. Utilization of such waste materials leads to sustainable road construction. Jarofix is one of the waste materials generated during the extraction of zinc from its ore. At present, the accumulated jarofix is about 35 lakh tons, while the annual production is about 6 lakh tons in India. Detailed R & D study was carried out to study the feasibility of jarofix in the construction of embankment. Jarofix sample was collected from Chittorgarh, Rajasthan and its geotechnical characteristics were investigated. Design and slope stability analysis of jarofix embankment of varying heights and slopes was carried out to decide its practical applicability in the field construction. The factor of safety was determined by numerical analysis under different water conditions, viz. partially saturation, steady flow, sudden draw down with, and without seismic
factor. Results of variation of factor of safety with height, saturation, and slope
are presented. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the
effect of different design parameters on the factor of safety of the embankment. A typical settlement analysis of jarofix embankment is also presented in this
study. It is concluded that jarofix waste material has a good potential for
construction of embankment.

Evaluation of the relationship between tryptophan consumption and obesity among University Students
Objective: To investigate the level of tryptophan consumption among university students and to determine its relationship with obesity. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was conducted voluntarily to 1000 undergraduate students, 433 boys and 567 girls from Istanbul Aydın University in this correlation study. Students' daily tryptophan intake was determined according to the frequency of consumption of foods containing tryptophan, body weight, height, waist circumference were measured. SPSS 22.0 program was used for data analysis. Results: 56.7% of the students participating in the study are women and 43.3% are men. The average age and the standard deviation of the participants are 21,20±1,99 years, the minimum age is 17 years and the maximum age is 39. 17.5% of the participants are weak in terms of BMI, 33.8% are normal, 40.5% are overweight and 8.2% are obese. Comparing BMI values according to the students' gender, obesity is higher in girls than in boys (p <0.05). In terms of BMI, the number of obese and fat people is higher than male students. When looking at the tryptophan consumption amounts of students; the average amount of tryptophan is 321.62 mg in males and 323.41 mg in females. When the tryptophan consumption and BMI values of the students were examined, there was no statistically significant difference between them (p> 0.05). There was no significant relationship between tryptophan consumption and height and age, BMI, and the width of the waistline (p>0,05). Conclusion: University students consume high amounts of tryptophan, and there is no relation between the consumption of tryptophan on BMI and further extensive studies are needed.

A new numerical scheme is presented for computing strict maximum likelihood (ML) of geometric fitting problems having an implicit constraint. Our approach is orthogonal projection of observations onto a parameterized surface defined by the constraint. Assuming a linearly separable nonlinear constraint, we show that a theoretically global solution can be obtained by iterative Sampson error minimization. Our approach is illustrated by ellipse fitting and fundamental matrix computation. Our method also encompasses optimal correction, computing, e.g., perpendiculars to an ellipse and triangulating stereo images. A detailed discussion is given to technical and practical issues about our approach.

RBAC Policy Testing
_URL_
OpenStack deployments have standard RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) policies that are customized in different ways by users of OpenStack. These policies need to be enforced and verified to ensure secure operation of an Openstack Deployment.
Problem Description
Currently there is no unified way to test that RBAC policies are correctly enforced. This is important because these policies define how potentially sensitive information and functionality are accessed.
Proposed Change
The proposed solution involves creating a plugin that enables RBAC tests to be written in such a way that they can verify that an individual policy was correctly enforced on the specified rbac_role. Tests should primarily be written as an extension of an existing Tempest test that is wrapped in the plugin's functionality. The plugin determines what roles should have access to a given API based on the policy.json file for that service.
For example, a test can be written that only tests the policies for "compute_extension:services" as follows:
@test.requires_ext(extension='os-services', service='compute')

 try:
 rbac_utils.switch_role(self, switchToRbacRole=True)
 self.client.list_services()
 finally:
 rbac_utils.switch_role(self, switchToRbacRole=False)
A key aspect of these tests is that they are testing only a single policy, even though a normal flow might require the usage of actions covered by multiple policies. To enable this, the role used for the tests will alternate between "admin" and the "rbac_role" specified in the config options. This is done so that there is no chance of other policies besides the one being tested changing the outcome of the test. To switch roles, the switch_role method of rbac_utils is called. Calling the method with switchToRbacRole=True tells Keystone to set the current role to the "rbac_role" while switchToRbacRole=False tells Keystone to set the current role to "admin".
This effort involves creating the plugin for new tests that verify correct RBAC policy enforcement. This effort will include sample tests but is not intended to provide full testing coverage of all policies and APIs. The core code will exist in an external repository containing a plugin, while individual tests will be written within the plugin. There is not currently any functionality that needs to be added to tempest/lib, but that may change as more tests are written.
Alternatives
An alternative is to utilize the cinnamon-role plugin that was being considered.
Advantages: Utilizing the cinnamon-role plugin enables RBAC functionality to be wrapped around existing tests with minimal extra effort.
Disadvantages: Cinnamon-role doesn't allow for testing of individual API endpoints by switching role mid-test.
Another alternative is to add the RBAC test framework into Tempest's core functionality.
Advantages: Easier deployment, don't need extra addons.
Disadvantages: Rbac testing is not something that is considered part of Tempest's core functionality.

Gerbils And Exercise Wheels
How do you get gerbils to use an exercise wheel?
By Donna Anastasi
Posted: May 17, 2010, 2:40 p.m. EDT
Q: I have three gerbils living together in a 20-gallon long tank setup. None of them ever run on the wheel that I have in their cage. They mostly use it to burrow under. Is there a way to teach them to use a wheel, if it would be beneficial to their health?
A: The best type of wheel for gerbils is an 8-inch diameter, wire mesh (not slatted or plastic) wheel. A gerbil's tail could get caught in an old-style slatted wheel, and gerbils will chew a plastic wheel to bits. Some gerbils like a wheel and others don't.
The best way to get gerbils to run on a wheel is to offer a wheel when they are young, at about 5 weeks old. Wire it to the mesh lid of their tank so it hangs a few inches above the litter. Gerbils like the challenge of jumping and climbing on a wheel, and once inside may run on it. Try wiring the wheel so it holds still until they get used to sitting in it, then unwire it so it moves and they can run in it.
A final tip is that gerbils learn from watching gerbils in other tanks. If you ever go away and have someone with wheel-aholic gerbils babysit yours, you might come back to see your gerbils happily running in their wheel!
If your gerbils never take to the wheel, give them other things for exercise. Some examples are: a metal climbing structure or a branch from the reptile section of the pet store, deep litter to dig and burrow in, a dust bath to roll in, timothy hay, unscented toilet tissue, a PVC pipe as a tunnel, and plenty of cardboard boxes and tubes to gnaw up.

A new concept enhances the capability of photo-thermal absorption measurements with transversal probe beam guiding by overcoming drawbacks such as a lack of sensitivity for materials with low photo-thermal response and/or round substrate geometry. The sandwich concept using the laser-induced deflection technique is introduced and tested for the investigation of highly reflecting (HR) coatings. The idea behind the sandwich concept is based on the decoupling of the optical materials for the pump and probe beams. This is realized by either placing a HR coated rectangular substrate in between two optical (sandwich) plates or attaching a HR coated thin round substrate onto one optical plate. For both configurations, the sandwich concept results in a strong increase in sensitivity for the measurement of HR coatings deposited onto photo-thermally insensitive substrates. Experiments reveal that for a substrate, up to two orders of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity can be achieved.

Sun canopies are very strong and durable as they have great longevity which ensures their installation in dry and hot climates. Asides these climates, they also remain installed in cold and damp environments. SUN CANOPY
A sun canopy ensures that one enjoys optimum ventilation while he is relaxing beneath it. Sun canopies are made with high quality fabric. These fabrics are very authentic and as a result of this, they are able to last for a very long period of time and also able to withstand harsh weather conditions. The fabrics makes sure cool and soothing air is able to pass through the shade and hence offer a comfortable, airy and optimum ventilated space.
A sun canopy helps to lower the temperature of the air and hence reduces the cooling cost of one's properties and consumption of energy. Sun canopies are quite beautiful and lovely as they are made in various wonderful designs and styles. Having a sun canopy would definitely beautify that surrounding.
If it is a home, office, church or any place, sun canopy would perform its primary function and also beautify that place. Family and friends could get to relax beneath and a sun canopy, gist, eat, drink and just have a nice time together.
Sun canopies come in various colors; hence people could purchase a sun canopy in terms of the color of their desire and the one that would match with décor of where the sun canopy would be placed. The basic function of the sun canopy is just to serve as a shade that would shade people from the sun while they are sitting outside.
There are some times when people would just want to enjoy the cool breeze and ventilation. During these moments, the scorching sun could serve as a deterrent to them having a comfortable time. This is why a sun canopy is very essential and important.
CONCLUSION: A sun canopy can be used anywhere as long as it is outside a building. Apart from people staying beneath a sun canopy, various other things like cars, plants and such other things that can be adversely affected by the high rate of sunlight could be kept beneath a sun canopy.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Q-NEX are both used for device remote control and management. MDM is something like here primarily utilized for the remote control of interactive display panels, focusing on screen and power control. On the other hand, Q-NEX is designed not only for interactive flat panel control but also for managing other AV equipment in classrooms. Many people are curious about the differences between MDM and Q-NEX. Are they the same thing? Can they be used interchangeably? This article aims to explore the disparities between them by comparing their functions and applications.
1.MDM versus Q-NEX in Their Makeup
MDM and Q-NEX differ in terms of their makeup, attributes, and integration capabilities. To gain a better understanding of their fundamental differences, let's delve into what they are and how they differ.
MDM is a software-based remote control and management system. It is developed and preinstalled as software in interactive display panels to achieve remote device control and management. IT administrators log in to the MDM web interface and execute specific commands to control the interactive display panels. MDM allows for one-to-many device control, enabling IT administrators to control multiple displays simultaneously. However, the application of MDM is limited to interactive displays only, so it cannot be used to control other devices in the classroom or meeting room. Now, let's move on to Q-NEX.
Q-NEX solutions feature a hardware-based remote control and management system, relying on two devices: the Q-NEX Networked Media Processor (NMP) and Media Box (MBX). The NMP incorporates various built-in modules such as power relays, wireless microphone systems, LAN switches, Networked AV Decoders, digital amplifiers, AV matrix switches, and serial control modules. Importantly, the NMP comes with universal AV ports that are compatible with a variety of AV equipment. By connecting all the AV equipment, remote control and management of all the devices in the classroom can be achieved, regardless of the device type or brand.
2.2 MDM versus Q-NEX in Their Pros and Cons
Now that we have a basic understanding of MDM and Q-NEX, including their makeup and attributes, let's take a closer look at their advantages and disadvantages in terms of deployment and applications.
Compatibility plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of a hardware or software solution. If a device cannot easily integrate and be compatible with other devices, controlling them together becomes challenging.
2.1.1 MDM Compatibility
MDM has compromised compatibility. Before installing the MDM software on an interactive display, it needs to be made compatible with the display's motherboard. Compatibility achieved for a specific model of interactive display from one brand may not extend to other models produced by the same manufacturer, let alone displays from different brands. In short, the limited compatibility of MDM makes it inconvenient and troublesome for wider application scenarios.
2.1.2 Q-NEX Compatibility
In comparison, Q-NEX offers easy and flexible hardware-based compatibility. As mentioned earlier, Q-NEX's NMP is an all-in-one device with universal AV ports, making it universally compatible with various models and brands of interactive flat panels. Additionally, Q-NEX can easily integrate with any display featuring an HDMI interface for control and management, which is challenging to achieve solely from a software perspective. In summary, Q-NEX's high compatibility allows for easy integration with a wide range of displays for remote control and management.
Controllability refers to the ability to perform multifaceted functional controls across different types of devices. MDM and Q-NEX differ in terms of the range and types of controls they offer.
2.2.1 MDM Controllability
MDM provides convenient but limited control capabilities. By installing MDM software on a display, users can perform customized functional remote control actions such as timed power on/off, screen lock/unlock, and screen wake-up. However, controlling other audiovisual equipment deployed with the interactive flat panel display is not possible without switching to a different control system. From this perspective, MDM-based control is limited and lacks unified control. However, if classrooms are only equipped with the same model of interactive flat panel displays and nothing else, MDM can be considered a suitable option.
2.2.2 Q-NEX Controllability
In contrast to MDM, Q-NEX offers controllability across different types of devices. Q-NEX's NMP consolidates all types of audiovisual equipment into a unified control and management system, enabling touch panel control and remote control over networks. With Q-NEX, you can control various devices such as interactive displays, speakers, microphones, electrical window curtains, projectors, projection screens, air conditioners, TVs, lamps, and electrical locks, among others. This allows school administrators to achieve efficient and unified control of AV equipment throughout the campus.
3. AV Distribution
AV broadcasting is an essential application in smart campuses, utilized for important announcements and emergency notifications. The readability, convenience, and promptness of AV broadcasting become crucial factors when comparing MDM and Q-NEX.
3.1 AV Distribution by MDM
MDM offers less reliable and slower AV broadcasting. In MDM's AV broadcasting, all files are uploaded and downloaded from a cloud platform, making the download and upload speed susceptible to internet connection quality. Conducting live AV broadcasting with MDM can be challenging. Additionally, storage considerations must be taken into account for AV files.
3.2 AV Distribution by Q-NEX
Q-NEX, on the other hand, provides fast and reliable AV broadcasting. With Q-NEX, AV files are uploaded and downloaded on a local media server, and control signals are sent out from the Q-NEX platform to enable AV files be lived streamed to targeted AV equipment in the classroom. As the files are stored locally, concerns about internet connection quality are alleviated. Furthermore, Q-NEX supports both web-based and app-based control, allowing IT administrators to conduct urgent AV broadcasting using their smartphones from anywhere, at any time.
MDM enables schools to control devices remotely, but its application is restricted to interactive flat panels it is compatible with. It cannot be used to conveniently control other AV equipment in the classroom, resulting in a lack of unified control. On the other hand, Q-NEX, with its all-in-one features and universal AV ports, allows for easy integration with various multimedia devices, enabling unified remote control and management.

This is an overview of domain separation and the Notifications application. Domain
separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical
groupings called domains. You can then control several aspects of this separation, including
which users can see and access data.
Support: Level 2
Domain separation is
supported in this application. Not all ServiceNow applications support domain
separation; some include limitations on the data and administrative settings that can be
domain separated. To learn more, see Application support for domain
Domain separation is specifically supported in Notifications but not in email accounts.
Notifications are not data-separated but they are process-separated. Notifications are also
triggered by specific actions.
How domain separation works in Notifications
There are two basic components of domain separation and Notifications.
- Notifications are process-separated (not data-separated).
- Notifications are triggered in two main ways:
- When a record is Inserted or Updated
- Notifications with matching conditions AND in the same domain as the
inserted/updated record are processed.
- When an event defined in the notification is triggered
- Events typically have a target record. For example, [incident.inserted] event
references the incident record being inserted.
- When an event is fired, notifications configured for that event in the same
domain as the event's target record are processed.
Domains and email accounts
Domain separation is not supported in email accounts for these reasons:
- Sending mail: There is only one SMTP sender per account. This prohibits providing
domains for each account, and they are not configurable.
- For receiving Inbound mail: You can set up multiple email accounts but cannot
meaningfully set the domain of an inbound email action. Inbound Actions are processed in
the domain of the user who sent the email. For example: User_A in Domain A sends an
email to a ServiceNow email account which executes the "Create an incident" inbound
email action. The resulting new incident created by the inbound action is in Domain
To learn more see Inbound email actions
Note: If the number of email accounts exceeds 20, reception of email slows down.
If an instance is using the
Domain separation plugin
and a new email notification is
defined for a domain that has the same event as the notification on the global domain,
the user receives two emails for the same event.
Solution: Set the [sys_overrides] field on the notification that belongs to the
domain so it overrides the setting on global. For more information, see

Process is defined as a series of actions to achieve a particular end. The process for the above map began in a different context. Originally, it depicted just the United States. However, that did not show the complexity of how tourism affects the use of water in Los Angeles. Even though it began along the correct lines, the end of that process was not the desired effect despite having all the data that was needed to achieve it. And thus the process began anew.
The City of Angels is a popular tourist destination, attracting 41.4 million visitors, second to New Yorks annual average of 48 million tourist. But then again that is New York city, the Big Apple, the City that Never Sleeps. The City of Angels, on the other hand likes its beauty sleep as much as it likes its water. But the question lies on how does tourism effect water consumption in Los Angeles? The answer was a bit surprising. It is estimated that domestic US tourists use 3% more water than they do when they are home and international tourist visiting the US use about 3.5% more water. In long run, what does this mean. The DWP reported that in 2012, Los Angeles water demand was about 200 billion gallons of water. Tourist, on average will use about 6.5% of that water demand, or 70 million gallons of water per year.

DAB Transmission System Simulation
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the radio digital system developed as an european standard by the ETSI, EN 300 400, based on the Eureka-147 group works, to improve the performance of the analogue radio systems (AM and FM). The system is based on the OFDM technology which allows DAB to exploit the spectrum frequencies in a better way with a higher quality of sound for mobile receivers specially. The main part of the OFDM system is based on the FFT algorithms to spread the data flow over different orthogonal carriers. The simulation has been developed in SimulinkTMand MatlabTMand the layout designed follows faithfully the standard for the transmission system. The simulation can be reloaded by the user with the information presented in this thesis. Thus, this work can be continued to complete the DAB whole system simulation. The results obtained running this simulation show the main DAB system characteristics.

Elite Guice 3: Private BindingsIn the first and second parts of this series, I discussed hooks for extending Guice. In this post I introduce private bindings.
Don't emulate Guice
The key to a good extension is tight integration with Guice. In particular, the extension shouldn't copy functionality from Guice; doing so can lead to subtle differences between the extension and Guice itself. The assisted inject extension reimplements constructor injection and that causes problems:
- Standard Guice can inject private constructors, but I forgot to do configure this in assistedinject.
- AOP doesn't work for assistedinject-created objects
These differences aren't dealbreakers, but they do make the extension harder to use, and they violate the principal of least surprise. A better assistedinject would have used Guice's constructor injection.
The Injector is just a bunch of bindings
In the Multibindings extension, we secretly create a binding for each element in the set. These bindings are implementation details of the extension, but they need to be bound in the shared injector.
We have to somehow create the bindings without a chance of conflicting with user-supplied bindings. If
Multibinderand the user both bound the same key, injector creation would fail.
Private Annotations to the rescue
The fix is to create a binding annotation type with a narrow scope, such as package scope. Other code won't have access to this annotation, and therefore we can be confident that only our extension can create bindings with this annotation.
In the Multibindings extension, there's a custom annotation called
_USER_'s secretly applied to all elements. Each annotation instance is given a unique ID to ensure that the hosting keys are distinct. Unless they're using a tool that interrogates the Injector, the users of
Multibindernever see these bindings. They're created internally and used internally. But they allow all of Guice's features to work naturally on the bound elements.
Implementing the annotation type is code-intensive, but there's thorough instructions that describe how equals, hashCode and even toString() should be implemented.
This technique is also used in InterceptingInjectorBuilder, in order to let InjectionController work its magic.

Toy spear throwers are deliberate in their design as they are meant to form part of the education of children. They give them the opportunity to practice spear throwing with games such as malu, a game where spears are thrown at moving pieces of bark. They are an important development process where the boys can improvise and make their own, or their father will make their sons miniature spears and a spear thrower, pre-initiation. They will continue to use this set until 12 to 16 years, when initiation has begun.
In the Rawlinson Range, Western Australia, decoration of spear throwers happens only after initiation, becoming more elaborate as knowledge increases.
Missions did encourage the manufacture of wood carvings, particularly of weaponry, for trade purposes. At Groote Eyelandt, the Northern Territory, Norman Tindale notice variations of form with a bigger body for decorative purposes and less handle space.

However, all the facilities in the DSDL are available to these methods as well, should a resource type developer have a need for these methods. Typically, the Init and the Boot methods would be exactly the same for a resource type implementation to implement a one time action. The Fini method typically would perform an action which undoes the action of the Init or Boot methods.

Canada Chemical Management Plan – Canada Challenge
About The Canada Chemical Management Plan
Canada's Chemicals Management Plan aka the "Challenge" regulates chemicals that are harmful to human health or the environment. The Prime Minister, along with the Ministers of the Environment and Health put the "Challenge" into effect on December 8, 2006. The Chemicals Management Plan is the collection of information on the properties and uses of approximately 200 chemical substances identified through the categorization process as high priorities for action. Under the "Challenge", approximately 200 substances of the highest priority were divided up into a number of smaller groups of substances. The Government is using the mandatory information gathering provisions of section 71 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA, 1999) to gather information that is deemed required for improved decision-making. Industries are being invited to submit additional information that may be used to inform risk assessment and to develop and benchmark best practices for risk management and product stewardship.


text: The present study describes the development of a preconcentration method for manganese determination by FAAS using poly(protoporphyrin-co-vinylpyridine) as a sorbent. To synthesize this material, 4-vinylpyridine and protoporphyrin were copolymerized in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. The factors affecting the flow injection preconcentration system were optimized by employing 25 fractional factorial and Doehlert matrix designs. The proposed on-line preconcentration method was performed by percolating 18.0 mL aliquots of Mn(II) solutions (pH 8.3) at a flow rate of 6.0 mL min−1 through a mini-column, packed with 100 mg of poly(protoporphyrin-co-vinylpyridine); the Mn(II) ions were then on-line eluted with 1.5 mol L−1 HNO3 into the FAAS nebulizer. Under these conditions, it was possible to yield a linear curve in the concentration range of 0.0–120.0 μg L−1, with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. Besides, the following system parameters were obtained: sampling frequency of 15 h−1, preconcentration factor of 53, consumptive index of 0.34 mL, concentration efficiency of 17.6 min−1, detection limit of 0.34 μg L−1, and quantification limit of 1.13 μg L−1. The method precision (repeatability) estimated for ten measurements of 1.0 and 50.0 μg L−1 Mn(II) standard solutions was found to be 5.2 and 4.9%, respectively. Moreover, the protoporphyrin incorporation into the poly(vinylpyridine) network caused a remarkable 323% increase in the method's sensitivity. Finally, the proposed procedure was not affected by potentially interfering ions. Thus, it was successfully applied to the Mn(II) determination in water, food and sediment samples.

18th Century Desk Design (The Antiques Dictionary) Taken from Antiques directory By Judith & Martin Miller
A structural change occurred during the early 18th century in the design of bureau. It had been customary for the fall front to open to a concealed document compartment or well, which can be seen as a blank space on the front of the desk between the top edge of the fall (seen examples 1 &2). Sometimes decorated as a dummy drawer, this space was soon utilized as a fourth drawer at the expense of the wall.
Another change concerned the feet, which became either ogee brackets, of cabriole legs with claw and ball feet, or chunky square edged brackets, though by the end of the 18th century the splay French foot had gained considerable popularity (see example 3).
American desks of Queen Anne and Chippendale periods resemble very closely their English counterparts in design if not in materials though there is one important exception—the block front. This was from Dutch origin. See examples 4 &5
Example 1: William and Mary slant front 1710,
Example 2: A curly maple slant front 1720 Example
3: Federal mahogany veneer 1790
Example 4 Queen Anne inlaid walnut 1740 Example 5 Chippendale walnut slate front desk 1780

I'm trying to 'morph' one moving mesh into another moving mesh using particles. The 'morph' is working well when the meshes don't move, but moving causes trouble.
What I've done
Here's my .blend file:
In the gif below, a sphere is breaking into particles, and those particles are moving to different meshes in a water molecule. The particles doing the "morphing" belong to a separate 'controller' object (not in view). The controller object has several particle systems with keyed physics, each of which has the sphere as its first key target and a part of the water molecule as its second key target.
As you can see from the gif, the particle systems in the water molecules (the targets) stay put while the molecule itself keeps rotating. What I want is for them to rotate along with the molecule. The current (undesired) result is that the particles morph to where the molecule used to be, and then the actual molecule mesh appears rotated ahead of the particles.
I've also tweaked a few things for the sake of the gif.
- The molecule usually doesn't show until the particles arrive. For the gif, I show it the whole time so you can see where it emits the particles.
- The 'target' particle systems usually don't show either, but I'm showing them in the gif.
- I've enlarged some of the 'controller' object's particles to make the morphing easier to see.
How can I give particle systems a moving target?
I've tried setting the parent of the target particle systems, which did cause the systems to move, but particle systems don't have the matrix_parent_inverse property, so the scale and rotation were offset anyway. Also, despite seeing the target systems move, the keyed "morphing" particle systems seemed to still be aiming at a single spot. (Hopefully that made sense, but if not, suffice it to say that I can't get parenting to work with particle systems.)
I'm doing this with python, so I'm considering manipulating the individual particle positions based on the movement of the emitter, but it seems like there must be a better way than re-implementing parenting myself.
Finally, I have to morph with particles rather than shape keys, unless someone can tell me an algorithm/feature that can make the topology of two meshes equivalent while keeping the same resulting shape. :)

Devices (Device Usage metric)
The number of Visitors or Sessions by Device Type metric tells you the type of devices used by visitors to your website in a specific time range.
This information helps you optimize your website design, experience, content, and optimize your content for advertising campaigns.
What is the device type usage in your analytics dashboard?
Device type in your analytics refers to the visitors who use a mobile phone, desktop, or tablet. Some analytics tools display the device brand, as well.
As you might know by now, visitors to a website come from all around the globe and from all sorts of devices. While some industries are more keen to have visitors using a specific device in a high percentage, sometimes you have to declutter your statistics and see what type of device do people use when they visit your site.
Why is the Device Usage essential for you and your site?
Knowing the devices your website is accessed from helps you optimize your design and content for the devices that your customers use and display a consistent experience to your customers no matter the device they use. This means a higher chance to convert your visitor into a customer.
 Once you start to analyze the data (e.g., each visitor activity combined with device types), you will see the number of visitors by device type in a specific time range. This helps you observe and analyze trends in your traffic, identify opportunities, and easily see the problems that have an impact on your users based on the device type.
 Here a few examples of actions influenced by device type:
 1. Visitors who use a mobile device (e.g., smartphone) to check a site that's not mobile-friendly will:
 - Bounce fast and spend less time on the site
 It is easier to quit a site using a mobile device, and people are used with short content (mobile copywriting) and easy to use websites and apps - if your site lacks these, there is an extremely high chance to lose these customers.
 - Be less likely to perform purchases or fill forms
 If you have a non-mobile-friendly site, but you want your visitors to buy a product or sign-up to something, there is a low chance for this to happen if the user experience is not smooth.
 1. visitors who use a desktop device (computer, notebook)
 While we know for a fact that mobile devices are the leading source of internet traffic in the US and Europe, the highest percent of people spending/buying something online was coming from visits made through a desktop device. Here are a few facts to know about desktop device visitors:
 - They are familiar with long-form content, so if you have a more complex checkout or form, you may want to target desktop users with your ads. However, keep in mind that most of the research is done via mobile devices and the purchase via laptops/notebooks and desktop devices.
 - They spend a higher amount of time watching videos. This, again, helps you optimize the product video of your site (make it lengthier or shorter, based on your target group and stats) and optimize your video ads as well!


What is the opening on the NAOS side for?
We have designed a large opening on the side of NAOS, to allow you the following uses:
- drop off and pick up your child from the side in an ergonomic position (straight back and knees bent) and thus avoid back pain caused by repeated poor postures
- allow you to go to bed near your children and reassure them while they fall asleep. No need to hold her hand from the top of the bed. And you also avoid waking him up when you put him down when he is asleep...
- If you wish, you can secure the room where NAOS is located, and let your child get out of his bed according to his will, guiding him towards autonomy (Montessori). This is possible thanks to its mattress structure placed on the floor


('files/{fileId}') && methodIs('get')
 * def response = files[pathParams.fileId]
PS: I did not consider the 404 case.
Endpoint to Access Binary File Content
Many file servers provide an endpoint to get the binary content of the file.
This Scenario shows how to do that:
1
2
3
4
Scenario: pathMatches('files/{fileId}/content') && methodIs('get')
 * def file = files[pathParams.fileId]
 * def response = decode(file.content)
 * def responseHeaders = { 'Content-Type': #(file.contentType) }
The important part is: We have to decode the Base64 file content:
1
* def response = decode(file.content)
And we have to define the content-type:
1
* def responseHeaders = { 'Content-Type': #(file.contentType) }
That's it.
Conclusion
It's very easy to create API mocks with the Karate Test Framework, but some tasks can get tricky.
If you don't know how to handle a multipart/form-data HTTP-Request for example.
Do you face a particular problem with Karate Mocks or do have a question?
Either way, let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Required Equipment for Sound Signals
During periods of reduced visibility or whenever a boat operator needs to signal his or her intentions or position, a sound-producing device is essential. The requirements for sound signals are:
- A vessel of 12 meters (39.4 feet) or more in length shall be provided with a power whistle or power horn and a bell.
- A vessel less than 12 meters in length shall not be obliged to carry the sound devices described above. However, the vessel must be provided with a means of making an efficient sound signal.
- A vessel that is propelled by human muscular effort, a sailing vessel, and a power-driven vessel less than 16 feet in length, when using waters other than Lake Erie, the Ohio River, or the Muskingum River, shall not be obliged to carry the sound devices stipulated above or produce the sound signals prescribed in the Ohio Administrative Code
Audibility of Sound Signals
- For boats less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) in length, sound signals should be audible for at least ½ mile.
- For boats over 65.6 feet (20 meters) in length, sound signals should be audible for at least 1 mile.

B. Akakiev: Market size of isotope production will rise to US $ 8 billion by 2017
The global market of isotope production will reach about US $ 8 billion by 2017 with an average annual growth rate of 10.4%.
Currently, the market is estimated at US $ 4,8 billion, where medical products are 80% of its volume. Boris Akakiev, Acting General Director of JSC Isotope presented such information, speaking at the 1st International Business Conference for producers, suppliers and consumers of isotope production. According to him, 70% of isotope production consumer market is situated in North America and Western Europe. USA is considered to be the largest consumer, accounting for 50%.
According to B. Akakiev, the most part of isotope production, manufactured by Rosatom enterprises, is exported. Russia takes the leading position in the field of radiation technologies for a variety of products, in particular, Russia is the leader in the production of cesium-137, carbon-14, americium-241. Over the past 20 years, the Russian export isotope production increased six times. As explained B. Akakiev to Nuclear.Ru, growth happened because of "not the expense of raw materials, but by high-tech products - sources of radiation." He also specified that sales volume of JSC Isotope in 2011 amounted to about 1.6 billion rubles.

Red GUI Architecture
VID stands for Visual Interface Dialect. It is a dialect of Red, providing the simplest possible way to specify graphic components with their properties, layouts and even event handlers. VID code is compiled at runtime to a tree of faces suitable for displaying.
The GUI code engine contains several parts:
Platform-independent faces management engine
Reactive actions events
Draw dialect interpreter
Reactive actions can be defined directly from VID dialect or can be specified directly using the REACT function.
Draw is a Red dialect for 2D vector drawing. It can be specified in different ways:
in VID layouts
directly in the
drawproperty of any face object
using the DRAW function to draw directly onto an image
An internal API allows multiple backends (OS/graphic system combinations) so that the View engine can be implemented in different environments. Each backend must be capable of extensive 2D drawing for complete support of Draw dialect.
The initial design of VID, Draw and most of View (except for the reactive parts) were created by Carl Sassenrath and implemented in Rebol. Red View is a completely new, independent implementation providing similar features with some desirable improvements. Reactive actions being a prime example.

The purpose of this study was to validate the three dimensional model of classifying coping behavior. The three are: Encounter-Avoidance, Problem-Emotion, Behavior-Cognition Dimension. A set of questionnaires on coping behavior and psychological stress responses were administered, and 1 604 undergraduates and 1 296 adults completed them. Analyses of covariance structure were performed, and results indicated that the three dimensional model, with eight coping style, showed the highest goodness-of-fit statistics. Multiple regression analyses also indicated that Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition dimensions were useful for predicting the coping effects on psychological stress responses. Therefore, the two dimensional model of Problem-Emotion and Behavior-Cognition, with four coping style, would be helpful for further investigation of coping behavior that would buffer psychological stress responses.

Comparing Colony countries vs Netocratic countries
When we are comparing Colony countries vs Netocratic countries, it is essential to know whether these countries are the places where these government forms have originated. Colony has originated in Rome and the place/s where Netocracy has originated is Not Applicable. When a country adopts a government form, it means that the ideology of that government form becomes the key principle in running the country. Comparing Colony vs Netocracy Definition will help you in grasping the meaning of these ideologies. We give you a gist about the presence of Colony and Netocracy. Colony countries vs Netocratic countries comparison can be found by its presence in different continents of the world. A list of the Colony and Netocratic countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, American and other continents is given below:
- Colony countries in Asia are Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Taiwan. Netocratic countries in Asia include NA.
- The list of European Colony countries comprises of Malta. List of European countries that have adopted Netocracy include NA.
- In North America, countries that have accepted Colony as form of government are Barbados, Canada and Jamaica. Netocratic countries in North America are NA.
- Argentina, Brazil and NA are the countries with Colony as a government form. NA are the Netocratic countries present in South America.
- The list of Colony countries in Africa includes Angola, Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mozambique, Somalia and South Africa. Netocratic countries in Africa are NA.
- Colony has been applied in other continents in Australia and NA. Netocracy is also present in countries like NA.

The title explains it all. Do objects suspended in ice sink over time? You may remember the story of World War 2 planes that were found 260 ft under the ice which would be anachronistic with seasonal ice layering alone. I'm trying to establish other possible mechanisms. I know that ice flows up and down in glaciers, but will an object actually sink in ice over time?
Also, in what way would they sink? Would heavier parts sink faster than the lighter. Does buoyancy play a role.
share|improve this question
Isn't the title misleading? Ice is a solid, how can something sink inside it? – jinawee Feb 27 at 18:59
_USER_ It seems to be false: physics.stackexchange.com/q/65740 – jinawee Feb 27 at 19:16
_USER_ I'm not claiming this for ice or glass but some materials that seem to be solid actually experience viscoelastic creep. See for example the famous pitch drop experiment. – OSE Feb 27 at 19:41
_USER_ Under higher pressure, ice has a lower melting point. Technically if something heavy was placed on ice it could sink in due to this melting effect. If the surrounding climate is below 0 degrees C then as this happens more ice would freeze around the object. Perhaps this could constitute as sinking into a solid. – wgrenard Feb 27 at 19:46
_USER_: true, but you need a lot of pressure! – John Rennie Feb 27 at 20:10

If the article you are referring to is this one, then the planes didn't sink into the ice but were buried by blizzards.
Ice does exhibit ductile flow at stress of around 1 to 10MPa, but this pressure is equivalent to around 100 to 1000 tons per square metre and this is far above the stresses normally produced by objects resting on ice. Glaciers flow because the stress is concentrated at the interface between the ice and the rock, and this can produce the enormous stresses required.
So the answer to your question is that no, objects don't sink into ice under their own weight (unless your object is made from neutronium). However freeze thaw cycles can give this impression.

Interesting. There is a corollary proposed by some creationists that since these plains were covered so rapidly, 260 feet (79.2 meters) in 40 years, certain core samples could not be as old as they are said to be. I was attempting to refute this particular proposition, or at least answer it as honestly as I can. I'm thinking another approach would be the change in density from the surface downward. I doubt it is constant, and I doubt it is linear. Thanks for your help. – Jordan Feb 27 at 20:54
_USER_ when it comes to creationists: don't feed the trolls. – Carl Witthoft Feb 27 at 22:20
_USER_, not all creationists are trolls. I consider myself one though I have no problems with evolution or modern cosmology. The Everett interpretation gives me heartburn sometimes, but we'll see how that turns out. – Jordan Feb 28 at 13:58
I say yes, things can sink in ice. Here's why: there's a thin layer of liquid on the surface of ice that is why ice is slippery. When you put a body on the surface of ice, it'll keep displacing the layer of liquid, getting deeper and deeper, and will eventually sink completely,
share|improve this answer
But how fast does that occur? Have there been measurements to determine the rate at which surface displacement occurs over extended timescales? Is it fast enough to explain the depth of the planes in question? Either way, interesting article, +1. – DumpsterDoofus Feb 27 at 20:34
But would this continue to happen when the object reaches the freezing point of water? – Jordan Feb 27 at 20:40
_USER_, the paper addresses the problem with the usual explanation of slippery ice through pressure melting. This liquid layer stays on even at very low temperatures, way below freezing. – Aksakal Feb 27 at 20:46
_USER_, I have no idea how fats this would work. It's probably at the speed of diffusion if not slower. – Aksakal Feb 27 at 20:47
Note that, while it's true that ice cqn develop a liquid layer when pressed, this is not enough to explain why ice is slippery, which is a rather more complicated question. – Emilio Pisanty Feb 27 at 21:27

Metal Detectors Aid Archaeologists in Collecting Field Data
Minelab Americas was chosen to work with leading archaeologists to aid in the proper documentation and recovery of historical artifacts at the James Madison Montpelier Estate. Located in in Montpelier Station, VA, the property was the lifelong home of James Madison, the 4th President of the United States.
At the estate, Madison studied past democracies and envisioned the system of government that our nation follows to this day. Minelab has been afforded a rare opportunity to work with leading archaeologists to uncover new ways to properly collect field data. Metal Detectors like the Minelab E-Trac and the Minelab GPX series were used to aid in identifying the location of artifacts around historic structures on the site. Areas of the site were marked off in grid like patterns and then metal detectors were used to aid in the location of the buried artifacts.
In this video Minelab Metal Detectors are used in a methodical manner to mark the location of artifacts for proper recovery and preservation. This collaborative effort demonstrates the unique ways in which the metal detecting community can aid archaeologists in the preservation of history.
