Third Army Traffic Map. June 1918.
The logistical complexity behind the front line is visualised in this Third Army road traffic map of 1918.
Bold lines highlight the main roads for the use of motor vehicles and animals, whilst dotted lines denote single track roads, arrows giving the direction of travel. Exceptions are provided for officers and messengers, and animals are prohibited from being exercised on any roads.
Supply lines had failed during the Somme offensive of 1916, and a civilian, Sir Eric Geddes, was drafted in to improve British Expeditionary Force transport arrangements. By 1918 an efficient system of moving supplies, men and ammunition as quickly as possible to the front, and casualties and information away from it, had developed.
At the time of this map, the German Spring Offensive struck at the front in the bottom right corner of the map. In such circumstances the speed of logistics could be the difference between success and failure.

"Extreme risk" level: What it means for SPS
How might Lane County's "extreme risk" designation affect SPS teaching and learning?
Overview + what it means for SPS
Lane County is set to move back to the "extreme risk" category on Friday, April 30, after positive Covid-19 cases have been on the rise for the past few weeks. The change in county risk designation does not directly affect schools or school schedules.
Public school districts in Oregon are required to follow positive case-based guidance defined by the Oregon Department of Education developed in conjunction with the Oregon Health Authority. As part of the state guidance, school districts are encouraged to maintain current in-person learning if it's already in place stating that schools "should not reduce in-person instruction or revert to comprehensive distance learning based on county metrics if the school can demonstrate the ability to limit transmission in the school environment."
Metrics breakdown
Public elementary schools have the option to limit in-person learning if positive case levels reach more than 350 positive cases per 100,000 people over the course of 14 days. However, when cases are below that threshold, public elementary schools are required to offer either on-site or hybrid learning options.
The guidance for middle and high schools is slightly different and provides schools with the option to switch to comprehensive distance learning to limit transmission, if necessary, when county case levels reach more than 200 cases per 100,000 people over 14 days (a slightly lower threshold).
Schools are not required to switch to comprehensive distance learning at any point except potentially on an isolated school-to-school basis to curb transmission. This decision would be made by district staff as recommended by district health professionals. Under current guidance, SPS likely would not return to district-wide remote learning.
As of April 28, Lane County Covid-19 case rates had reached 214 cases per 100,000 and a 3.5 percent test positivity rate.

Introduction
Welcome to our exploration of one of nature's most intriguing mysteries: How Many Hearts Does an Earthworm Have? Delve into the depths of earthworm anatomy with us as we uncover the truth behind these fascinating creatures. Join us as we debunk myths, clarify misconceptions, and reveal the intricate workings of earthworm circulation. Beyond the curiosity of multiple hearts lies a deeper understanding of earthworms' vital role in ecosystems. Let's embark on a journey to discover the significance of earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) hearts and their profound impact on the world around us.
Earthworm Anatomy

The Circulatory System of Earthworms
The circulatory system of Lumbricus terrestris is a marvel of simplicity and efficiency. Unlike mammals with a centralized heart, earthworms rely on a series of contractile vessels to distribute fluids throughout their bodies. These vessels, called aortic arches, pump nutrient-rich blood and oxygenated fluids to various tissues, ensuring proper nourishment and oxygenation.
Additionally, Dew worms lack specialized respiratory organs, so their circulatory system also aids in gas exchange, transporting oxygen from their skin surface to internal tissues and removing carbon dioxide. Understanding the intricacies of the earthworm circulatory system sheds light on their remarkable adaptability and survival in diverse habitats.
Do Earthworms Have Multiple Hearts?
The notion of earthworms possessing multiple hearts is a common misconception. In reality, earthworms have a single, elongated heart-like structure called the aortic arch. This muscular vessel runs along the length of their body, pumping blood and other fluids through their circulatory system.
While their segmented anatomy may give the appearance of multiple hearts, each segment's contraction aids in fluid movement, rather than acting as an independent pump. By debunking this myth, we gain a clearer understanding of earthworm physiology and the efficiency of their circulatory system.
Function of Earthworm Hearts
Earthworm hearts, or aortic arches, serve crucial functions in their circulatory system. These muscular structures contract rhythmically to propel blood and other fluids throughout the earthworm's body. By distributing oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to various tissues, Garden worm hearts support essential physiological processes such as metabolism, digestion, and locomotion.
And, the circulation facilitated by these structures helps regulate body temperature and remove metabolic wastes. Understanding the function of earthworm hearts provides insights into their remarkable adaptability and survival strategies in diverse environments.
Myth vs. Reality: Earthworm Heart Facts

Debunking the Myth of Earthworms Having Multiple Hearts
The misconception of earthworms possessing multiple hearts stems from their segmented body structure and rhythmic movement. However, a closer examination of earthworm anatomy reveals the truth: they have a single, elongated heart-like structure called the aortic arch.
This muscular vessel contracts to pump blood and other fluids throughout their circulatory system, efficiently distributing nutrients and oxygen. By dispelling this myth, we enhance our understanding of earthworm physiology and the mechanisms behind their remarkable survival in various ecological niches.
Clarifying the Truth About Earthworm Circulation
Compost worm circulation is a fascinating process that ensures efficient nutrient distribution and waste removal throughout their bodies. Contrary to popular belief, earthworms rely on a single, elongated heart-like structure known as the aortic arch, rather than possessing multiple hearts.
This muscular vessel contracts rhythmically, pumping blood and other fluids through their circulatory system, facilitating gas exchange and nutrient transport. Understanding the truth about earthworm circulation sheds light on their remarkable adaptability and ecological significance in various ecosystems.

Oxygen Transport
Oxygen transport is essential for the survival of earthworms, as it facilitates cellular respiration and energy production. Earthworms lack specialized respiratory organs, so oxygen uptake occurs through their moist skin surface. Once absorbed, oxygen is transported throughout their bodies via the circulatory system, facilitated by the rhythmic contractions of the aortic arch.
This efficient oxygen transport ensures adequate oxygenation of tissues, supporting vital physiological processes such as metabolism and locomotion. Understanding the mechanisms of oxygen transport in Angleworm provides insights into their adaptation to terrestrial environments and their ecological roles.
Circulatory Efficiency
Lumbricus terrestris exhibit remarkable circulatory efficiency despite lacking traditional hearts. Their circulatory system, characterized by the aortic arch and a network of contractile vessels, efficiently distributes nutrients, gases, and metabolic wastes throughout their bodies. This streamlined circulation ensures optimal oxygenation of tissues, supports metabolic activities, and aids in thermoregulation.
Additionally, the absence of a centralized heart minimizes resistance to blood flow, contributing to overall circulatory efficiency. Understanding the circulatory efficiency of earthworms provides valuable insights into their physiology, adaptation to various habitats, and ecological importance as decomposers and soil engineers.

The aim of this study was to determine the evacuation of sand from the equine intestine after a double treatment with psyllium and mineral oil or mineral oil only. A crossover study was conducted. Twelve healthy horses were fed 1 kg sand once a day for 5 days. Subsequently, these horses were divided into two groups: A and B. From day 6-10, both groups were treated with 2 l of mineral oil once a day and group B received an additional 0.5 kg of psyllium twice a day. The trial was repeated after 2 weeks with treatment crossover of groups A and B. The horses were housed sand free and 1.8 kg hay/100 kg body weight was offered to meet the maintenance energy requirement. Prior to the sand administration, faeces were collected from each horse for 3 days and the crude ash was determined to establish a baseline output of ash. There was no difference between the baseline crude ash output of the first and second treatment. From day 6-10, faeces were collected daily and the fresh weight and the dry matter and the crude ash contents were determined. For administration, sand or psyllium was mixed with 1 l of Irish mash (concentrate mixed with water), respectively, and mineral oil was administered via a nasogastric tube. All horses showed higher crude ash excretion when treated with psyllium and mineral oil compared with the mineral oil administration only. On the second, third and fourth day of the treatment, the difference was significant. Faeces crude ash weight corrected for baseline crude ash output while treated with psyllium plus oil and oil solely, reached a mean of 51.0 (SD 20.5) and 26.1 (SD 17.7) % of the administered sand mass, respectively. The results of this trial show that the ash output differed highly between the horses. Nevertheless, all horses showed a higher total ash output within the 5 days treatment period when the psyllium semen and mineral oil were used for the treatment than when treated with mineral oil solely.

Adding Custom CSS To Show Form Submit Process
When a Form submits, it can take a moment to make the requests it needs. Here's how you can use CSS to show submission progress.
When a Form submits, it can take a moment to make the requests it needs. This is especially true with eCommerce Forms which need to make multiple requests for security reasons.
This Article will explain how you can use CSS to show submission progress and let the User know your Form is still submitting without errors.
The CSS Class
When you submit a Form, the HTML Form element has two class names added to it:
- "form_x_submitting" where x represents the ID of the Form in Admin
These classes should be removed if the Form is interrupted by a valid error, e.g. validation errors, so targeting one of these classes should tell you that the Form is busy submitting and the User should wait for completion.
The Simplest Example
In this example, we'll use CSS to select all Forms that are busy submitting globally. You may choose to select particular Forms differently.
A More Complex Example
In this example, a spinner icon has been added to the Form Layout in advance:
The CSS demonstrates how Front-End CSS is used to achieve a different effect:

According to the principle of non-directiveness, the genetic counselor has the responsibility to provide the client with accurate information about a test or outcome but should remain neutral and not try to influence the decisions made by the client.
Narration Transcription
Non-directiveness is an approach we use in providing genetic information in counseling in as balanced a fashion as possible without exerting pressure or coercion as to what the clients' decision should be or what their actions should be following our session. Non-directiveness is really most often thought about within the context of decision making when it comes to childbearing issues, but extends into almost any aspect of genetic counseling when helping a family, helping an individual, make decisions that are based upon their values, their beliefs, and the issues that they feel most important.

Is it possible to find the distance of a pixel to a rendered sphere, in screen space? All my naive solutions for just using the 2D screen distances are failing because of the warping that occurs during projection.

See maybe Closest point on an ellipsoid. But I'm not sure that's really what you are looking for. Could you maybe explain what is the purpose of knowing that distance? – Sam Hocevar May 26 '12 at 14:24

It's definitely possible, though it doesn't have a clean explicit formula. The projection of a sphere is an ellipse, and given the projection matrix you should be able to find an explicit formula for the ellipse, something of the form ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dx+ey+f=0 (the canonical formula for a conic section); from this you can find a rational parametrization of the ellipse (of the form x=f(t), y=g(t) with f and g rational functions). The problem then comes down to minimizing (f(t)-x_0)^2+(g(t)-y_0)^2 as a function of t, and it turns out that rootfinding methods work pretty well for this - there are exact solutions but they require solving a degree-4 equation, which can involve hairy complex arithmetic and tends to be less numerically stable (and thus less accurate) than the approximate methods anyway.

Your screen is a plan. Your sphere is an elipse. When the user clicks somewhere on the screen it's easy to find the coordinates on the screen plan. Then you just have to apply basic elipsis equation in order to know if the selected point is inside or outside the elipsis and how far it is.
share|improve this answer
This works if the question is 'is my click point inside the ellipse or not?' but not if the question is 'how far is my click point from the ellipse?' - there the calculation of, say, (x/2)^2+(y/3)^2 doesn't result in a distance value. – Steven Stadnicki May 26 '12 at 16:32

Google yesterday announced that will stop sending contextual information on the bid requests, starting in February 2020. According to Google, this a result of engagement with the European data protection authorities, and the intent is to take an additional step to further guard user privacy.
Chetna Bindra, Senior Product Manager, User Trust, and Privacy, at Google, wrote that since GDPR, Google has already introduced measures to protect European users. Google requires publishers to obtain consent from users to serve personalized ads, Google applies data minimization practices to the scope of the data shared in RTB bid requests, including truncating device IP addresses and using only resettable user IDs.
What is the contextual information Google will stop sharing?
Content categories are descriptions of the type of content on a specific page, website or app. According to Google, these categories may indicate whether the content is about news or weather, and are intended to provide contextual information to advertisers about the site or app where the impression may appear.
Google was prohibiting advertisers from using the services to build user profiles around sensitive categories but there was always a risk that third-party services will do that. The processing of special category data without consent was one of the 9 concerns about RTB pointed out by the UK regulator.
Chetna Bindra also says that Google will soon update the EU User Consent Policy audit program for publishers and advertisers, as well the audits for the Authorized Buyers program.

Grapple Tongue: The New Sustainable Solution for Waste Management
As the global population continues to grow rapidly, so does the amount of waste we produce. In the United States alone, 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in 2018 according to the Environmental Protection Agency. This presents a daunting challenge for waste management professionals to not only handle the increasing amount of waste but also do so in an environmentally friendly manner. Many organizations have come up with innovative solutions to reduce waste, and one of the latest is Grapple Tongue.
Understanding Grapple Tongue
Grapple Tongue is a new waste management solution aimed at helping businesses manage and dispose of their waste in an environmentally friendly manner. The product is essentially a large metal claw that is attached to a crane arm, which is used to grip and move various types of waste, including wood, concrete, cardboard, and even demolition materials such as metal and glass. The product was designed with the aim of reducing waste, reducing waste transportation, and promoting sustainability across industries.
Benefits of Grapple Tongue
Grapple Tongue has several benefits when it comes to waste management, some of which include:
Reduced transportation costs: With Grapple Tongue, waste management companies can collect and move waste in a single trip rather than making multiple trips to a landfill. This reduces transportation costs and carbon emissions associated with waste transport.
Reduced need for manual labor: Traditional waste management methods usually require a lot of manual labor, which can be time-consuming and expensive. With Grapple Tongue, however, there is limited need for labor as the product is designed to handle large volumes of waste without requiring human intervention.

Study Suggests Women More Likely To Have Nightmares
New research suggests women experience significantly more nightmares than men and have more emotional dreams.
There was no difference in the overall number of dreams reported, said researcher Dr. Jennifer Parker of the University of the West of England.
Previous research has shown women tend to have more disturbed sleep than men.
Changes in a woman's body temperature during her monthly cycle have been linked to such sleep disturbances.
"It has been known for a long time that pre-menstrual women report more vivid and disturbing dreams," said Dr. Parker, a lecturer in psychology.
"The consistent finding in this research was that women report more unpleasant dreams than men."
The women who took part in the study were much more likely to report dreaming about very emotionally traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one.
"In terms of processing emotional information, women may be more prone to taking unresolved concerns into their sleep life." Parker added.
"The research showed a gender difference but what is difficult to pick out is whether women are having more nightmares or remembering them better," said Dr. Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.
He said the results fit in with what's in the literature, as women's sleep tends to be more disrupted and they have more insomnia.
"And more frequent wakening could cause them to pick up on the dream.
"But it could be that disturbed sleep is contributing to the fears."
Nightmares in everyone were probably more common than people realized as they are quickly forgotten about, he added.

COMPULSARY RATING..Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) will soon introduce a Green PASS rating to contractors and developers in the country.
KUALA LUMPUR - Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) will soon introduce a Green PASS rating to contractors and developers in the country.
"Green PASS is an assessment that measures the actual impact of the quantity of greenhouse gas (GHG) by released by building to the environment.
"This evaluation will be done in two phases: construction phase and operational phase of the building.
"For the construction phase it contains five elements, namely assessment of the construction site, building materials, energy, water and waste.
"As for the operational phase of building the three elements that are assessed include building indoor environmental quality (IEQ), energy and water," she said.
Esmaria said this when presenting a paperwork on Green Pass evaluation to over 80 leading local construction industry in the capital recently.
However, she said, for the Green PASS evaluation in the construction phase, the evaluation can only be done once while in the building operation phase, the assessment will be done after the building is completed and occupied by at least 70 percent of the residents.
"Green PASS Rating will be the yardstick used to measure the ability of contractors to produce quality construction," she told the National Construction Portal, 1BINA.my.
It is learned that the database of Green PASS evaluation is borrowed from the United Kingdom which acts as a baseline to measure the conservation of buildings that is under construction or already completed.
Even so, Emasria says that Malaysia will build its own database as it is a dynamic data collection and not rigid.
"For example, if the study found that current energy consumption baseline is 100 kilowatt per meter and found the building in Green PASS assessment process uses only 70 kilowatts per meter which is a saving of 30 percent sure this data will be stored as a reference at any time.
"This is because the saving was calculated using carbon calculator and will be monitored from time to time for record and reference," she said.
Emasria also added that, in that particular case, contractors and developers are eligible for a diamond bonus in scoring if they uses Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) and Safety and Health Assessment System in Construction (SHASSIC) for their construction projects.
In the meantime, CIDB previously issued the Construction Industry Standard CIS 19:2012 Draft and requested the public to provide feedback on the Green Performance Assessment System in Construction (Green PASS) draft.
By July, CIDB will work with the Malaysian Green Tech Corporation (MGTC) and several government agencies to test the effectiveness of the Green PASS assessment to construction projects in Malaysia through a pilot project that has been agreed.
Report of the National Construction Portal, 1BINA on Green PASS can be found in _URL_ and _URL_ blog/2012/01/16/draf-cis-19-2012-untuk-komen-umum

Abstract Share this page
Abstract The existing inexact optimization methods based on interval-parameter linear programming can hardly address problems where coefficients in objective functions are subject to dual uncertainties. In this study, a superiority-inferiority-based inexact fuzzy two-stage mixed-integer linear programming (SI-IFTMILP) model was developed for supporting municipal solid waste management under uncertainty. The developed SI-IFTMILP approach is capable of tackling dual uncertainties presented as fuzzy boundary intervals (FuBIs) in not only constraints, but also objective functions. Uncertainties expressed as a combination of intervals and random variables could also be explicitly reflected. An algorithm with high computational efficiency was provided to solve SI-IFTMILP. SI-IFTMILP was then applied to a long-term waste management case to demonstrate its applicability. Useful interval solutions were obtained. SI-IFTMILP could help generate dynamic facility-expansion and waste-allocation plans, as well as provide corrective actions when anticipated waste management plans are violated. It could also greatly reduce system-violation risk and enhance system robustness through examining two sets of penalties resulting from variations in fuzziness and randomness. Moreover, four possible alternative models were formulated to solve the same problem; solutions from them were then compared with those from SI-IFTMILP. The results indicate that SI-IFTMILP could provide more reliable solutions than the alternatives. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

There have been so many instances where we have purchased fruits from the supermarket to satisfy our intense craving for them. But when we begin to notice tiny stickers with numbers placed on them, we get curious and want to know what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean?
These stickers have a huge significance apart from using them as objects for time pass and they may unravel a lot of things about how your delicious fruits were actually produced. Without further ado, let's take you on this mystical journey of what those digits mean on your lip-smacking berries.
What do the Numbers on Fruit Stickers Mean?
The cryptic numbers that you see on your fruits are nothing but means to divulge information about how the fruit was produced and the different agricultural techniques that have gone into producing this product.
Some of the basic information which is unveiled with the help of these codes include- nature of the product, how was it grown (naturally or genetically modified) and the country in which it was produced.
The primary purpose of what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean has been explained to you, however there is a lot more waiting in store for you!
Why is it Important to Put these Stickers on Fruits?
The main reason behind why these stickers are placed on fruits is to ensure that these products meet the export quality guidelines of the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), failing which the product is deemed unfit for export and consumption.
The IFPS is the main international body that regulates the export quality and consumption guidelines for all agricultural produce. The organisation was formed in 2001 to bring about uniformity in agricultural export and was the pioneer behind introducing the concept of Price Look-Up (PLU) numbers to ensure hassle-free exports and purchase.
If you thought that these stickers were simply meant for a fancy label on the fruit, now you know what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean and why it is important to have them on your fruit!
What are the Different Types of Stickers on Your Fruit?
We have discovered what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean and why is it important to have them. But all fruit stickers are not alike and they all begin with different numbers indicating different meanings. In case their meaning perplexes you, let's get you to understand them for your next visit to the supermarket.
If your fruit sticker begins with the numbers 3 or 4, it means that your product was grown using conventional agricultural methods which are generally used for most fruits and vegetables. These stickers have a four-digit code and always begin with a 3 or 4.
If your fruit sticker contains a five-digit code beginning with an 8, it implies that your produce was genetically modified. Some of the most commonly found genetically modified products include corn, papaya, and soybeans to name a few. However, the IFPS states that it is not mandatory to label genetically modified food and can be freely exported whilst maintaining quality standards.
If the fruit sticker consists of a five-digit code beginning with a 9, it refers to the fact that your fruit was grown organically without the usage of conventional agricultural techniques. Such products are expensive and are considered extremely healthy for consumption.
These codes are universal in nature and are standardised throughout the globe. Now that is one valuable piece of information which you can brag in front of your parents and friends with sheer confidence!
Eventually, we all find these little sticky objects annoying to see and peel off from our fruits and begin to break our heads over them. However, as consumers, we should understand what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean and why they should form an integral part of our shopping strategy.
So the next time you head out for your supermarket tour, you are better equipped as to what do the numbers on fruit stickers mean and buy only the best products for yourself!

Lemma 10.147.1. Let $R$ be a ring. Let $f \in R[x]$ be a monic polynomial. Let $R \to B$ be a ring map. If $h \in B[x]/(f)$ is integral over $R$, then the element $f' h$ can be written as $f'h = \sum _ i b_ i x^ i$ with $b_ i \in B$ integral over $R$.
Proof. Say $h^ e + r_1 h^{e - 1} + \ldots + r_ e = 0$ in the ring $B[x]/(f)$ with $r_ i \in R$. There exists a finite free ring extension $B \subset B'$ such that $f = (x - \alpha _1) \ldots (x - \alpha _ d)$ for some $\alpha _ i \in B'$, see Lemma 10.136.14. Note that each $\alpha _ i$ is integral over $R$. We may represent $h = h_0 + h_1 x + \ldots + h_{d - 1} x^{d - 1}$ with $h_ i \in B$. Then it is a universal fact that
\[ f' h = \sum \nolimits _{i = 1, \ldots , d} h(\alpha _ i) (x - \alpha _1) \ldots \widehat{(x - \alpha _ i)} \ldots (x - \alpha _ d) \]
as elements of $B'[x]/(f)$. You prove this by evaluating both sides at the points $\alpha _ i$ over the ring $B_{univ} = \mathbf{Z}[\alpha _ i, h_ j]$ (some details omitted). By our assumption that $h$ satisfies $h^ e + r_1 h^{e - 1} + \ldots + r_ e = 0$ in the ring $B[x]/(f)$ we see that
\[ h(\alpha _ i)^ e + r_1 h(\alpha _ i)^{e - 1} + \ldots + r_ e = 0 \]
in $B'$. Hence $h(\alpha _ i)$ is integral over $R$. Using the formula above we see that $f'h \equiv \sum _{j = 0, \ldots , d - 1} b'_ j x^ j$ in $B'[x]/(f)$ with $b'_ j \in B'$ integral over $R$. However, since $f' h \in B[x]/(f)$ and since $1, x, \ldots , x^{d - 1}$ is a $B'$-basis for $B'[x]/(f)$ we see that $b'_ j \in B$ as desired. $\square$

Chocolate and Maple Syrup
Every day we use many things that come from trees. Fruits and nuts like apples, peaches, plums, cherries and almonds all come from living trees, as does the cocoa bean that makes chocolate! Living trees also provide spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper, and the sap from the maple tree makes maple syrup!
Many medicines also come from trees and other plants. As a matter of fact, aspirin comes from the bark of a willow tree. Scientists are still searching for new medicines in trees, which is another reason why it's so important to protect our forests. They could provide us a cure for cancer!

What's the major difference between new technologies and placing pagefile on a separate flash drive? It seems to me that new technologies are just wrappers. Am I wrong?

One can't ever put a pagefile on a flash drive! (What an idea.)
A pagefile can only exist on the system drive and is used for application code "overflow" when memory is full, as well as for the memory dump for a BSOD.
Readyboost is an old technology from the days when memory was costly, small and slow, intended to augment RAM memory with disk space. Do not use.
Superfetch is a technology to preload often-used applications into memory in order to speed their startup times, mostly for slow laptops.
Conclusion: They are not wrappers, but technologies meant to improve the performance of hardware-challenged computers.

A pagefile can be stored on another drive than the system drive (although it complains about memory dumps if you have no pagefile at all on the system drive). But it's right it should not be stored on a flash drive (if it even can), a flash drive is way too slow. – Snark Jan 11 '10 at 12:23

January 28, 2016 — Verathon Inc. announced the launch of its new portable 3-D ultrasound instrument: BladderScan Prime. New features on the system include a touch-screen interface, live B-mode scanning and onboard self diagnostics.
Prime is designed to help reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) by reducing the use of catheters.
With one button press, Prime's VMODE technology acquires multiple scan planes inside the body, producing a three‑dimensional quantification of the bladder. Based on this quantification, the instrument automatically calculates and displays urinary bladder volume.
Promoting long and uninterrupted service, reliability is built into the BladderScan Prime system. For example, in the event of a drop, the Prime ultrasound probe has an internal mechanical diagnostic to confirm it's still working properly.
To boost accuracy among users of varying skill levels, BladderScan Prime provides simple and advanced aiming modes; immediate feedback for off-center scans and pubic bone interference; and onboard help/tutorial assistance available at any point in the exam.

Example Pivot Control for Windows Phone 7

 main section goes here

 options section goes here

 about section goes here
I followed you since your first mention about your pivot control. Thanks for great job! =)
But I have a little question.
Is there a possibility to make a binding to pages and page's contents?
To be more specific let's assume following example. I have products which grouped into several product groups (the number of them is not known at design time). And I want to show user a pivot control which displays each product group as a page and list products of selected group as page's content (ie as a listbox).
It would be great if you provide a little example of how can I do it with your control.
that is a interesting request.. right now the control is very much static.. it allows you to dynamically define pivot pages in XAML, but if it supported binding then it would need to be able to handle changes that might occur in the bound definition - it would have to know how to handle adding/removing pivot pages at runtime.. the current code constructs the UI in the control's Loaded event - so it is not possible to change the pivot pages beyond that..
the best you could do with the current tool is to construct the pivot pages programatically, and then add the pivot page to your UI.. here is an example of something like that:
// create a collection of pivot titles and corresponding UI content areas:
Dictionary pivotPages = new Dictionary();
pivotPages.Add("main", new TextBlock() { Text = "main section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("options", new TextBlock() { Text = "options section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("about", new TextBlock() { Text = "about section goes here" });
/// Method for setting up the pivot control and adding it to the stage from a pivot menu collection definition
private void CreateAndDisplayPivotControl(Dictionary pivotPages)
PivotControl pc = new PivotControl();
foreach (string menuTitle in pivotPages.Keys)
PivotPage pp = new PivotPage() { PageTitle = menuTitle, Content = pivotPages[menuTitle] };
that may not meet your need, but unfortunately there would be a lot of work trying to support binding so it's not something i'll be able to do for you.. i am going to be curious though if the final control supports dynamic binding of titles and content.. thanks for the comment!
Nice work Roger!
It worked right away. But I added a Storyboard that animates content inside one of the contentpages. But as soon as I start the Storyboard I get the message "2213 An error has occurred."
Did anyone experience this as well?
Mark Monster
ive run into that error a few times.. i dont exactly know how to solve it every time, but it seems it occurs when you have two different storyboards trying to modify the same object at the same time.. maybe try to group your objects into a grid and then animate against that grid instead of the main root of the page that the pivot control is trying to animate?
Thanks for your reply Roger. I tried your suggestion, but it didn't help. But still I just hope to get this control from the Microsoft Guys themselves :-). For now I have at least something to prototype.
Mark Monster
First of all, thanks for the control! However, i can't make a simple textbox to work properly inside of it. Let's start with xaml:
It looks perfectly in emulator and all the motions go smooth. Now let's get straight to the problem and add a bit of c# code:
private void Search(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
string text = SearchTerm.Text;
I'm getting a NullReferenceException for the SearchTerm.Text. Vs reacts as if SearchTerm TextBox doesn't exist at all... Is that just my mistake or there are some problem with this control?
[StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Orientation="Horizontal"]
[TextBox x:Name="SearchTerm" Margin="20,0,0,0" Width="275" TextWrapping="Wrap"/]
[Button x:Name="SearchButton" Width="150" Content="SEARCH" Click="Search"/]
oops, sorry for the code. Can't post it the other way :(
if it compiles, but then fails at runtime it may be that you are trying to access the SearchTerm textbox before InitializeComponent() has run - that would cause the value to still be null.. i dont think this issue is relative to the control, but hopefully that helps - if not see if you can host your code somewhere for me to download and look at.
I implemented this in a sample app that I have, and yeah, I was getting an unhandled ArgumentException when switching pages, so I had a look at the source and the only things I found (and subsequently altered) were:
1) You're initialising the PivotPages property in the DependencyProperty.Register() method which isn't really a problem on its own, but if multiple pivots are created (which probably won't happen... I'm not sure) then you'll end up with an unintended singleton which will cause issues. I was working on a layout-type control where I was getting very similar exceptions, so it's probably completely unrelated hehe :)
2) Changing that first property let me actually step through the code and it looks like almost everywhere you call UIElement.TransformToVisual(), you get an ArgumentException with some obscure stack trace staring you in the face. For the purposes of this control (before an official one comes out), the TransformToVisual() stuff didn't need to be there, so I removed it and the control's been behaving fine since then. I'm not sure why this exception gets thrown, these things with the really unhelpful messages get on my nerves hehe :)
Anyway, that's what I found. The control looks good but I created a panorama control too and I'm just gagging for them to release some official stuff :)
Hi, when using the pivot control and within a pivot page i have a list box. If I try to get a reference of that list box from code, the list box is never initialised. Its always null. What can i do to solve this?

contains will be deleted from every part of the website it is displayed on.
You will have to confirm that deleting the field is indeed what you want to do. After you do this, the field will be removed from the "Global Fields".
Note: Please keep in mind, that neither the default "Fields" nor the default "Groups" can be deleted. This is why the delete option is not available for these.
How to Insert Global Fields to your page
After you have finished setting up your "Global Fields" you will have the possibility to use these fields on any of your pages while editing them with Thrive Architect.
You will be able to add the values/information you have entered for these fields to a "Text" element in the form of shortcodes.
First, edit the page you want to display the "Global fields" on with Thrive Architect. Then, add a "Text" element to it.
When you enter the actual text and you reach a part where you want to insert a value/info from a "Global Field", click on the "Dynamic Texts" option from the Panel options that are displayed for the "Text" element:
This will open a drop-down where you can choose from the available "Global Fields", according to what you need in the particular sentence.
Choose the source
Since the "Dynamic Texts" option is a more complex one, you can add more dynamic information besides the "Global Fields" one. Therefore, click on the "Select Source" field:
This will open a sub-menu with some "Dynamic Text" sources. Click on "Global Fields":
Then, another field will appear, where you can choose the actual "Global Field" to be inserted.
Click on the "Select an option" section to open it and select the field you want to add to your text:
For instance, if the sentence you want to use this field in is something like: "Our company is located at... " then, you will have to insert the "Address" field you have set in the "Global Fields":
After you have selected both the "Global Fields" option and the field, all you have left to do is to click on the "Insert" button and the values/info you have previously set to the field will be added to your text:
This way you can insert any of the "Global Fields" to the text on your pages whenever you want, thus, saving time and effort.
Hopefully, this article was useful for you. If so, please give it a smile below :)

The current City Hall building at 120 N. Duke St. certainly looks the part – it's an imposing, historic-looking building that just exudes importance.
But there's another City Hall building you can explore in Lancaster, and that one has even more history under its belt.
If you head to Penn Square, it's hard to miss the Lancaster Visitors Center, located on the opposite corner from the Marriott hotel.
It's a modest three-and-a-half-story brick building in the Federal style of architecture that was popular in the early days of the United States – from about 1780 to 1830.
That building, constructed between 1795 and 1797, was the former Lancaster City Hall.
Over the years, it also held a post office, a library, a Masonic lodge and – most impressively – the offices of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania when Lancaster was the capital of the state from 1799 to 1812.
In the early 20th century, the building fell into disrepair and needed to be restored in 1924.
Beginning in 1974, the building housed the Heritage Center Museum until it closed its doors in 2011, due to declining donations and the loss of state funding. Since then, it has served as the city's visitors center.
And what about the big building on Duke Street? You know, the one that serves as City Hall now?
Well, that building has a little story of its own.
Constructed in 1892 by Philadelphia architect James Windrim, the building served as Lancaster's post office from its opening until 1932, at which time it was redesigned and converted to the new City Hall.
That project was one of the first local examples of adaptive reuse, a concept common in downtown Lancaster today. And the redesign was led by one of the most famous names in Lancaster's architectural history – the ubiquitous C. Emlen Urban.

Akai MPC Renaissance - Sampling With an External Sound Module
Have a synth or external sound module you would like to sample? With the MPC Renaissance/MPC Software it has never been easier. You can even quantize the sample with legendary MPC swing! The following article will show you how to record a MIDI track, send the MIDI to an external sound module, and record the sound module's audio as a sample.
 1. Connecting the Hardware
 2. Setting Up MPC Software Preferences
 3. MIDI Track Configuration
 4. Recording the MIDI Track as Audio
 5. Additional Resources
 6. Further Technical Support
Connecting the Hardware
 1. What you will need:
 - An External Sound Module with a MIDI input (synth, drum machine, etc.)
 - 1- 5 Pin MIDI Cable
 - 2- 1/4in Instrument Cables
 NOTE: When using line outputs from the external device, make sure Input 1 + 2 are set to LINE and not MIC on the back panel of the Renaissance.
Setting Up MPC Software Preferences
 1. In the MPC application, go to your Preferences window:
 - On Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.
 - On a Mac, choose MPC > Preferences.
 2. Select the MIDI tab and for MIDI Out Port A choose MPC Renaissance MPC Port 1 (or whatever Renaissance port you are connected to) from the drop down menu. This will activate the port for MIDI routing.
 3. By default, the Renaissance should be your input device with Input 1 + 2 selected as the Active Input Channels. Make sure you are configured like the image below or you will not be able to hear the external sound module's audio.
MIDI Track Configuration
 1. You are now ready to route a MIDI track externally. Choose a blank track (or existing MIDI performance) and with the INSTRUMENT drop down choose MIDI.
 2. You will see that MPC Renaissance MPC Port 1 shows up as your default MIDI output due to the selection made previously in the MIDI preference menu. This indicates that your track is sending MIDI to the MPC Software sequencer and then out of Port 1 on your hardware.
 akai mpc ren sound module 51
 3. The external sound module or synth can now receive MIDI note messages when you press a pad on your Renaissance. To hear the audio from the external sound module, press (Shift+Sample Edit) on the hardware or use the software's Sample Record tab to enter Sample Record mode. Choosing Input Monitor will allow you to hear your sound source through hardware Input 1 + 2 without actively recording the signal. The Input source will need to be set to external when using the Renaissance hardware inputs to sample.
 4. Now you can record MIDI into the sequencer while hearing the external sound source. If you leave the PROGRAM drop down on Off, the pads will trigger the current patch selected on your synth or external sound module.
 5. If needed, you can set a specific MIDI channel for the track. Also, if your hardware support program changes, you will be able to change the hardware's patch right from the MPC Software.
Recording the MIDI Track as Audio
 1. Once you have a sequence that is arranged and quantized to your liking, it is now time to create an audio sample of the performance. If you want to record the sample in stereo, make sure L + R is selected under RECORD ARM . If you want the sample to be mono, choose L (input 1). If more gain from the external source is needed, use the REC GAIN knob on the Renaissance to increase the input level.
 2. Make sure the sequencer is cued so that the first bar will play the beginning of your performance. Setting the THRESH (threshold) level will allow the sample to start recording when the audio passes a certain point. This will allow the sample to trigger immediately when assigning it to a pad. Increasing/decreasing the REC GAIN knob on the Renaissance will affect the THESH response.
 NOTE: If you set the threshold too high, the MPC software may not start the recording when you play the input source, or the start of the material you wanted to record may be missing. If you set the threshold too low, the MPC software may start the recording before you play the external source. Set this parameter to an appropriate level using the level meter.
 3. Select REC under SAMPLE and press play on the transport when you are ready to record the external source as a sample. When you have captured the desired performance, press STOP under SAMPLE. Keep in mind while capturing a sample the MPC Software will only record continuously for around 20 seconds unless you increae the time value with the hardware's jog wheel before starting.
 MPC Hardware MPC Software
 4. After recording is complete, the MPC Software will ask you if you want to keep the sample you have created. If you would like to reset your threshold and recapture the sample, choose retry. You will be able to edit the sample later, so don't worry about it being perfect. This menu will let you name the sample and assign it to a pad. If you don't assign the sample to a pad it will show up in your sample list when selecting keep.
 5. Now your performance is ready to use as a sample and is listed in your sample list (to the right). You can assign the performance to a pad a play it into your song as desired, or you can select the sample and use the CHOP feature to divide the performance into multiple phrases. Since the sample was recorded at the tempo of your sequence, you never have to worry about timing as long as the sample starts immediately when pressing a pad. To edit when the sample starts, use Q-Link 1, 5, 9, and 13. Enjoy!

Abstract
Pulsatile flow of blood through a uniform artery in the presence of a mild stenosis has been investigated in this paper. Blood has been represented by a Newtonian fluid. This model has been used to study the influence of body acceleration and a velocity slip at wall, in blood flow through stenosed arteries. By employing a perturbation analysis, analytic expressions for the velocity profile, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity, are derived. The variations of flow variables with different parameters are shown diagrammatically and discussed. It is noticed that velocity and flow rate increase but effective viscosity decreases, due to a wall slip. Flow rate and speed enhance further due to the influence of body acceleration. Biological implications of this modeling are briefly discussed.

Mathematical Model of Hydrodynamic Fluid Pressure on Smooth and Real Surface
Conventional method of flood delivering coolant fluid by a nozzle in order to achieve high process performance. However, hydrodynamic fluid pressure can be generated ahead of the contact zone due to the wedge effect between wheel peripheral surface and work surface. In the paper, theoretical hydrodynamic pressure modeling were presented for flow of coolant fluid through the grinding zone in flood delivery grinding using smooth and roughness surface grinding wheel respectively. The simulation results show that the hydrodynamic pressure was proportion to grinding wheel velocity, and inverse proportion to the minimum gap between wheel and work surface and the maximum pressure value was generated just in the minimum gap region in which higher fluid pressure gradient occuring. It can also be concluded the surface roughness of grinding wheel and workpiece makes the contact zone's hydrodynamic pressure rough and unstable, i.e. the value curve considering roughness is not smooth, leading to the micro-elastohydrodynamic lubrication phenomenon.

By combining demand for commonly used goods and services, government can harness greater economies of scale when negotiating with suppliers.
Aggregated purchasing is grouping together demand for commonly purchased goods and services to make the most of greater economies of scale when procuring from the marketplace.
Aggregating purchasing power allows organisations to negotiate lower prices and better terms and conditions and reduces risk and the administrative burden on buyers and suppliers.
The Victorian Government has a number of state purchase contracts (SPCs) and registers for commonly purchased goods and services.
More than 200 organisations benefit from the time and cost savings offered by SPCs. Total annual spend under SPCs is estimated to be about $2 billion.
Under the VGPB's expansion program, more organisations will be able to make greater use of SPCs (see Priority 2: Deliver the expansion program under VGPB Activities in 2020–21).
Types of SPC arrangements
SPCs can be sole or multiple (panel) supplier arrangements or register arrangements. Panels can be open or closed. Open panels can accept new suppliers at set or other times during the contract period. Closed panels are restricted to the suppliers engaged at the start of the contract.
Registers consist of prequalified suppliers, compliant where required with the eligibility criteria to provide goods and services to the Victorian Government.
Who can access SPCs?
All government organisations and agencies can access SPCs.
Other organisations that can access SPCs, on application to the relevant lead agency, include local and Commonwealth government organisations and not-for-profit organisations.
Who manages SPCs?
DTF manages almost all non-ICT goods and services SPCs. The only exception is the Legal Services Panel, which is managed by DJCS.
DPC is responsible for ICT SPCs, apart from Rosetta, which is managed by Cenitex.
The role of the VGPB
The VGPB plays a role in endorsing new SPC business cases and is consulted on SPC renewals, replacements and extensions (not including exercising contractual options). In 2020–21, several SPC strategies, proposals and draft business cases were submitted to the VGPB for feedback. This included SPCs such as banking and financial services, fuel, print management and associated services, stationery and workplace consumables, and travel management services.
About the data in this section
The contract values in the tables are estimates. Expenditure occurs as organisations order and consume goods and services over the contract term of the SPC. Total estimated value includes the initial contract term and any options to extend the contract (although these may or may not be exercised).
State purchase contracts approved in 2020–21
In 2020–21, four SPCs were approved with an estimated total value of $984.8 million. This compares to six SPCs approved in 2019–20, with an estimated total value of $295.5 million.

Case study: Smoothing the transition to a new media agency services SPC
On 30 May 2021, OMD Australia was appointed as the new supplier for the Master Media Agency Services SPC with a three-year initial term and two one-year options to extend.
The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) managed a smooth transition from the previous provider to OMD to provide continuous service to government. This is a best-in-class media contract that focuses on a partnership approach between the buyer and supplier and operates as an open-cost pricing model. The full financial costs of any advertising campaign are visible to Victorian Government agencies. All third-party media outlet charges attract no additional margin via OMD.
In addition to delivering excellent value for the Victorian Government's media needs, the partnership with OMD will deliver additional benefits in priority areas aligned with the state's Social Procurement Framework. This includes employment opportunities for those most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – OMD has committed to hiring 12 young people to work on the Victorian Government account and employ an additional 15 young people each year across the agency.
Other social benefits of the contract include a commitment to employ a person with a disability to work on the government account, internship opportunities for Aboriginal people, and purchasing from Victorian social enterprises and Aboriginal businesses.
Looking for new SPC opportunities
DPC is exploring options to aggregate, improve and drive stronger value proposition for:
- Human Capital Management SAP
- Zycus procurement as a cloud platform
- ServiceNow agreement
- Google agreement.
DPC is also leading an ICT procurement reform that will simplify the way government and industry engage. The program will focus on elevating local, social and small to medium enterprise entities in support of Victoria's economic and business recovery.
DTF has developed a procurement analytics capability that will deliver improvements to existing SPCs and identify opportunities for new SPCs.
DTF will harness the procurement analytics capabilities to identify new opportunities for aggregation to drive greater value-for-money outcomes. These mechanisms will also enable DTF to provide ongoing improvements to existing SPCs and management of new SPCs to ensure the benefits provided by these contracts are maximised. Refer to VGPB activities in 2020–21 for more information.
In 2020–21, DTF worked on finalising two SPCs related to banking and financial services and an interjurisdictional fuel and associated products contract with New South Wales and Queensland that will deliver considerable financial savings and social procurement outcomes for Victoria while maintaining excellent state-wide coverage. These SPCs will be finalised in early 2021–22.
Sole entity purchase contracts approved in 2020–21
In 2020–21, 26 SEPCs were approved with an estimated total value of $121.7 million.
This compares to 44 SEPCs with an estimated total value of $98.8 million approved in 2019–20.
The following table lists the sole entity purchase contracts approved in 2020-21:
|Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning||10||54.6|
|Department of Justice and Community Safety||2||7.2|
|Department of Transport||1||20.0|

Icons are prevalent from road signs to graphical menus, conveying complex concepts with simple graphical representations. However, designing such icons, particularly for a compound concept such as health insurance, requires sophisticated and creative design skills to effectively combine semantics, layouts/space and styles. In this study, we aim to automate the generation of icons given compound concepts. Informed by interviews with professional icon designers, we developed Iconate, a novel icon design tool that automatically generates icons based on textual queries and allows users to explore and customize the icons. We also introduce a computational pipeline that automatically finds typical icons for sub-concepts, and arranges them according to inferred conventions. To enable the pipeline, we also collected a new data set consisting of concepts and annotated icons. We evaluated the feasibility of the tool with designers and the validity of the pipeline through a crowd sourced experiment.
