The Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera, which will play its final performance at the Majestic April 16, will offer a charity performance April 14.
Produced as a thank you to the Broadway community for its 35-year embrace of the musical, all proceeds from the evening will benefit the following four New York City Arts organizations that seek to build, support, and foster future diverse audiences and artists.
- Broadway Bridges, an initiative of The Broadway League, helps guarantee that future Broadway audiences, performers, and behind-the-scenes personnel will reflect the diversity of New York City. The program gives public high school students the opportunity to attend Broadway shows: Since 2017, nearly 7,000 students across all five boroughs have attended Phantom.
- The American Theatre Wing's Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative, an extension of the composer's work in the U.K. to promote and fund arts education for students and young people, the program provides classroom grants to create or enhance theatre programs in the nation's under-resourced schools, scholarships for afterschool and summer training programs, and tuition support for students pursuing theatre in higher education.
- The Prince Fellowship, in association with Columbia University School of the Arts, honors the legacy, career, and memory of late Phantom director Harold Prince. The goal is to support the development of emerging theatrical producers by exposing new talent to the producing process in a manner that supports creative involvement.
- The Stephen Sondheim Foundation, established by late composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim in his will, supports playwrights, composers, and lyricists for the theatre in the early stages of their careers and assists in the development and advancement of their careers.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh says, "Phantom's farewell to Broadway has proved more thrilling and celebratory than Andrew and I could ever have hoped for. As a thank you to New York and the Broadway community that has so embraced our success, we have chosen four wonderful organizations to benefit from a charity performance during our last week, on April 14, proceeds from which will be specifically aimed at the support and nurturing of new talent, both on and off the stage. With nearly all remaining tickets sold, this will be your last chance to get tickets to see this legendary production in its original splendor, and at the same time support youth and diverse talents in the theatre for future generations."
Lloyd Webber adds, "Through the work of my Foundation in the U.K. and U.S., I know that engagement in the arts changes lives. The Phantom of the Opera's time on Broadway certainly changed my life, and it has had a huge impact on the lives of the millions of people who have worked with us or come to see the show over the years. I am thrilled that we end The Phantom of the Opera's record-breaking run on Broadway by giving something back to our beloved Broadway and to its young, talented people who, I know, will be future stars of this stage, of Broadway and of our whole industry. Thank you, Broadway and thank you, New York."
Robert E. Wankel, Chairman and CEO of The Shubert Organization states, "The Phantom of the Opera has been the entry point to Broadway for countless young people over the years. In that spirit of welcoming, through this charitable event, we're delighted to support Broadway Bridges and its goal of having every New York City public school student attend a Broadway show at least once in their school years. We're proud to have been Phantom's home for over 35 years and couldn't ask for better partners than Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber."
Tickets for the charity performance will go on sale March 17 at 10 AM at Telecharge.com and in person at The Majestic Theatre box office. Tickets range from $175 to $1,500.
The New York production currently stars Ben Crawford as The Phantom, Emilie Kouatchou as Christine, Paul Adam Schaefer as Raoul (John Riddle returns to the role April 3), Nehal Joshi as Monsieur André, Craig Bennett as Monsieur Firmin, Raquel Suarez Groen as Carlotta Giudicelli, Maree Johnson as Madame Giry, Carlton Moe as Ubaldo Piangi, and Sara Esty as Meg Giry. At certain performances, Julia Udine plays the role of Christine.
The ensemble features Giselle O. Alvarez, Polly Baird, Janinah Burnett, Xiaoxiao Cao, Kanisha Marie Feliciano, David Michael Garry, Chris Georgetti, Kelly Jeanne Grant, Satomi Hofmann, Ayaka Kamei, Ted Keegan, Kfir, Kelly Loughran, Scott Mikita, Greg Mills, Trista Moldovan, Justin Peck, Richard Poole, Lindsay Roberts, Janet Saia, Paul Adam Schaefer, Carly Blake Sebouhian, Jeremy Stolle, Carrington Vilmont, Jim Weitzer, Elizabeth Welch, and Erica Wong.

This tool allows an RT 3.x instance to integrate with a Subversion revision control system. To install the package in your RT instance, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make install To configure your subversion server to talk to an RT instance, you'll need to do a bit of setup. In your RT::SiteConfig, set up the following variables: Set($PathToSvn, '/usr/bin/svn'); # or wherever your svn(1) binary lives Set($SvnRepository, ''); # or Set($SvnRepository,'svn://'); You also need to add a "post-commit" hook to your svn repository so that it knows how to talk to RT. Basically, it does a simple HTTP "GET" request to tell RT to query the svn server for an update. We use this provoked poll method so that RT doesn't need to trust arbitrary incoming pings. RT is careful to only apply each commit once. Create a _privileged_ RT user for the svn integration to use. It doesn't matter if that user has no specific rights; they just need to be able to log into RT's web interface. Add the following line (assuming you use curl) to your repository's hooks/post-commit script: curl "$REV" & To tell RT which ticket a commit is associated with, put an RT-Ticket: line in your commit message. if there's no RT-Ticket: line, rt will ignore the commit message. If you put "rtname#" before the ticket id, RT instances whose rtnames don't match what you've put in will act as if they haven't seen a ticket id. This can be useful if you use svk to move subversion commits between repositories and want to track commit history across multiple RT instances. The other recognized commands are RT-Status and RT-Update. RT-Action is an alias for RT-Update, if preferred. Commands are case-insensitive and may occur in any order, at any point in the commit message. A couple simple examples: =====cut here====== RT-Ticket: RT-Ticket: RT-Ticket: RT-Status: resolved RT-Update: comment This is a simple comment. ======cut here======= OR ======cut here======= RT-Ticket: 123 RT-Status: open RT-Update: correspond We've commmited a fix to your problem. Is it fixed in -HEAD? ======cut here=======

Scientists link ancient Arctic camel to modern breed
OTTAWA (AP) — Ancient, mummified camel bones dug from the tundra confirm that the animals now synonymous with the arid sands of Arabia actually developed in subfreezing forests in what is now Canada's High Arctic, a scientist said Tuesday.
About 3.5 million years ago, Strathcona Fiord on Ellesmere Island's west-central coast would have looked more like a northern forest than an Arctic landscape, said paleobotanist Natalia Rybczynski of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
"Larch-dominated, lots of wetlands, peat," said Rybczynski, lead author of a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. Nearby fossil sites have yielded evidence of ancient bears, horses, deer, badgers and frogs. The average yearly temperature would have been about 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit).
"If you were standing in it and watching the camel, it would have the feel of a boreal-type forest."
The Arctic camel was 30 percent larger than modern camels, she said. Her best guess is it was one-humped.
Although native camels are now only found in Africa and Asia, scientists have long believed the species actually developed in North America and later died out. Camel remains have been previously found in the Yukon.
What makes Rybczynski's find special is not only how far north it was found, but its state of preservation.
The 30 fragments found in the sand and pebbles of the tundra were mummified, not fossilized. So despite their age, the pieces preserved tiny fragments of collagen within them, a common type of protein found in bones.
Analyzing that protein not only proved the fragments were from camels, but from a type of camel that is much more closely related to the modern version than the Yukon camel. Out of the dozens of camel species that once roamed North America, the type Rybczynski found was one of the most likely to have crossed the Bering land bridge and colonized the deserts.
"This is the one that's tied to the ancestry of modern camels," she said.

Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) is a United States Army facility located near Aberdeen, Maryland, (in Harford County). Part of the facility is a census-designated place (CDP), which had a population of 3,116 at the 2000 census.
APG is the U.S. Army's oldest active proving ground, established on October 20, 1917, six months after the U.S. entered World War I. Its location allowed design and testing of ordnance materiel to take place near contemporary industrial and shipping centers. The proving ground was created as a successor to the Sandy Hook Proving Ground, which was too small for some of the larger weapons being tested. At the peak of World War II, APG had billeting space for 2,348 officers and 24,189 enlisted personnel.
Other parts of APG not attached to the main installation include the Churchville Test Area in Harford County, and the Carroll Island and Graces Quarters in Baltimore County, Maryland. The Churchville Test Area is a test track with hills that provide steep natural grades and tight turns to stress engines, drivetrains, and suspensions for army vehicles, including M1 Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and Humvees.
Edgewood Chemical Activity is a chemical-weapons depot located at APG. Elimination of the chemicals held here was put on an accelerated schedule after the September 11, 2001, attacks, and all chemical weapons were destroyed by February 2006.
APG is located at and occupies a land area of 72,962 acres (114.0 sq mi; 295.3 km2). Its northernmost point is near the mouth of the Susquehanna River, where the river enters the Chesapeake Bay, while on the south, it is bordered by the Gunpowder River. The installation lies on two peninsulas separated by the Bush River. The northeastern is known as the Aberdeen Area and the southwestern is called the Edgewood Area (formerly the Edgewood Arsenal).
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 12.0 square miles (31.1 km2), of that, 11.4 square miles (29.5 km2) of it is land and 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2) of it (5.09%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,116 people, 805 households, and 763 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 274.1 people per square mile (105.8/km²). There were 902 housing units at an average density of 79.3/sq mi (30.6/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 50.5% White, 34.6% African American, 0.6% Native American, 3.1% Asian, 1.3% Pacific Islander, 5.7% from other races, and 4.2% from two or more races; 11.2% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 805 households out of which 78.0% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 84.1% were married couples living together, 8.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 5.2% were non-families; 4.3% of all households were made up of individuals and none had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.52 and the average family size was 3.63.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 40.1% under the age of 18, 10.3% from 18 to 24, 44.9% from 25 to 44, 4.4% from 45 to 64, and 0.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 25 years. For every 100 females there were 113.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 117.6 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $38,875, and the median income for a family was $40,306. Males had a median income of $26,943 versus $26,194 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $12,808. About 4.2% of families and 5.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.4% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.
Under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program, as announced in 2005, the APG is projected to lose the Ordnance School and associated R&D facilities with 3862 military and 290 civilian jobs moving to Fort Lee, Virginia. APG will gain 451 military and 5,661 civilian jobs from Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. There is a net loss of 3,411 military jobs under BRAC and a net gain of 5,371 civilian jobs.
In 2005, APG executed an Enhanced use lease (EUL) partnership with Opus East, L.L.C. (a subsidiary of Opus Corporation), a commercial real-estate development company. The EUL allows APG to ground lease "temporarily underutilized" land of the installation to a selected real estate developer. APG uses the proceeds from the ground lease for facility improvements and maintenance on the installation (i.e., new buildings, infrastructure improvements, deferred maintenance, road upgrades on post, etc.). In June 2009, Opus East assigned its EUL development rights to St. John Properties, Inc., a Baltimore-based commercial real estate development firm.
Under the EUL, St. John Properties has entered into a long-term ground lease of federally owned property for the development of commercial office space and research-and-development (R&D) space. The EUL development will provide new, high-quality buildings and facilities for the military/civilian tenants and their supporting government contractors who are relocating to APG because of the 2005 round of the BRAC process. The development of the EUL, known as The GATE Office and Technology Park or "The GATE" project, comprises 416 acres (1.68 km2), 11 land bays, and up to 3,000,000 square feet (300,000 m2) of development potential both inside and outside the secure perimeter of APG. St. John Properties is building new speculative office and R&D buildings for lease to both defense contractors and military/federal agencies.
In addition to office and R&D buildings, St. John Properties is developing an office and retail component just outside APG's security gate. The GATE is being developed to meet anti-terrorism and force-protection standards, and will include sustainable-design elements to achieve LEED Silver Certification. The GATE is strategically located to allow private military contractors (PMCs) doing work for various military commands on APG to be closer to their client. The first building at The GATE was delivered in 2008 to CACI, an information-technology security PMC. In October 2010, L-3 Communications took occupancy of a 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) building at The GATE, as did Raytheon Company, another 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) building. In 2010, St. John Properties delivered three additional speculative buildings for lease. Complete development of The GATE project is expected to span five to 10 years.

Secure communications is essential in many areas such as disaster management and battlefield communications. To detect and prevent attacks in such applications, most existing protocols adopt a cryptography-based approach, trust-based approach (reputation of nodes), or incentive-based approach. However, such protocols still have drawbacks, such as expensive overhead, difficulty in maintaining secure key and session management, or leaving routes unsecured against Byzantine attacks. In this paper, we introduce a monitoring-based method in the link state routing protocol to secure the packets' route against Byzantine attacks. The goal of our proposed scheme is to guarantee communication among connected benign nodes in the network. Specifically, each node monitors the action of neighboring nodes and compares the optimal packet route against the packet route history. Nodes in the network create a packet history field which is used to record all activities of an intermediate node when receiving and forwarding packets. Our scheme provides mutual monitoring in which nodes in the network can validate the packet history field of other nodes and report malicious activities. Also, our scheme uses a statistical method to know if a node is dropping packets intentionally by analyzing the packet dropping behavior of each node. The proposed scheme provides protection against colluding attacks and other Byzantine attacks. The proposed monitoring-based method achieves an average of 89% to 96% packet delivery ratio when 11% to 21% active malicious links are excluded from the network.

KAS files can be edited usü5 How do I edit my.kas files? How do I edit my.kas files?marekf¨lang=en&display=faq&faqnr=47&catnr=8&prog=1&onlynewfaq=0" TARGET="_self">ELLO - EvilLyrics Lyrics Organizer
If you want to edit your.kas files, you just need to click in a song that you already created/downloaded the timestamps. When you select it, the lyrics will be displayed in the textbox and a new pane for the karaoke editor will appear.
In it, you can edit both the time and the text marks for every line of the lyrics. You can also add and delete stamps. When adding, it will be added after the last selected stamp. When deleting, the last selected stamp will be deleted.
Editing the time stamps
Every second, EvilLyrics can have 5 different timestamps. The first one goes exactly in that second. The second one goes after 200 mileseconds, the third one after 400, etc. In the Karaoke Editor, you can edit the values for the minutes, seconds and mileseconds too. The format is Minutes:Seconds.Milesec. So, if you have an stamp like 03:27.4, it mean it will be played 400 mileseconds after 3 minutes and 27 seconds
Editing the text stamps
The text in the right represents the first two leters in the line. Generally, if your karaoke is not working properly, it has much more to do with the text than with the time. So, what you need is to check if these two letters are the same first two letters for its corresponding time. Note that numbers and the apostrophe aren't allowed, so if you have a line like this: "I'm here for you", the letters that you should type are "Im".
Note that it is case sensitive. This means that there is difference between "Hi" and "HI".
When you did all the changes you wanted, just press the Save button.


text: A new survey by iQ Content reveals that, while the Irish eGovernment program has made progress, significant implementation problems are being experienced by the majority of public sector agencies. Based on interviews with public sector eGovernment professionals, the iQ Content survey reveals that Ireland's eGovernment program remains largely on track. Seventy-five percent of respondents have a clear idea of what eGovernment is about and its implications for their organization and 65% of organizations consider their implementation to be either on or ahead of schedule. However, the survey also reveals that the majority of public sector agencies (75%) are experiencing difficulties implementing their eGovernment strategies. Content creation, content management, and accessibility also emerge as being problematic for most public sector organizations; 95% of respondents admitted to having difficulties creating and managing content on their Web sites. Respondents identified a lack of strategic vision (40%) and a shortage of the appropriate human resources (20%) as key barriers to effective eGovernment implementation. The survey also highlights how human resource constraints are impacting on the delivery of eGovernment services because 75% of public sector Web sites are managed by just one person and in most cases, this person spends less than half their time on Web-related activities. Eighty-five percent also identified accessibility as a key challenge for effective egovernment implementation.

About the Pomeranian:
Each bolded word below is a reason for why a pomeranian is a popular breed and each paragraph below goes into further detail on that reason. This post also shows the history of the pomeranian breed.
The pomeranian is a popular dog breed because of its size, its cuteness, and its fluffiness
Pomeranians are a small dog breed, that is what makes the pomeranian the perfect "hand bag" dog. Because of there size they are perfect for people who live in apartments or in the city.
They are just to cute I mean look at that face. Even after looking at a hundred photos of a pomeranian's face, I just can't stop thinking about how cute she is.
They are super fluffy, and therefore they shed a lot. But the pro of this is they can have adorable hair styles such as the haircut the pomeranian Boo has.
Dogtime.com: "Pomeranians were developed in the province of Pomerania from the ancient Spitz breeds of the far northern countries. The closest relatives of the Pomeranian are the Norwegian Elkhound, the Schipperke, the German Spitz, the American Eskimo Dog, the Samoyed, and other members of the Spitz, or Northern, group of dogs, all of which are characterized by their wedge-shaped heads, prick ears, and thick furry coats. Early Pomeranians weighed as much as 30 pounds. Even in the early days of the breed, Poms were popular. Notable people who were said to have Pomeranian-type dogs include theologian Martin Luther, who had a Pom named Belferlein that he mentioned often in his writings; artist Michelangelo, whose Pom sat on a satin pillow and watched him paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel; physicist Isaac Newton, whose Pom named Diamond reportedly chewed many of his manuscripts, and composer Mozart, whose Pom was named Pimperl and to whom he dedicated an aria. In 1761, the appeal of Pomeranians moved to England when Sophie Charlotte, a 17-year-old Princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (a neighboring province of Pomerania) married the English prince who was to become King George III. She brought with her a pair of mostly white dogs named Phebe and Mercury that weighed more than 20 pounds, which was standard at that time. Although they were popular in royal circles, the new breed didn't catch on with the public. All of that changed during the reign of Queen Charlotte's granddaughter, Queen Victoria. During her 64 years as the Queen of England, Queen Victoria bred more than 15 different breeds of dogs. In her later years, she was especially fond of Pomeranians, which she first saw in 1888 during a trip to Italy. She fell in love with a sable and red Pom named Marco who weighed only 12 pounds. Today, many believe that he was the inspiration to breed smaller Pomeranians. Marco went on to compete under the Queen's name in many dog shows and won many honors. Victoria also bought three other Poms on the same trip to Florence in 1888. After Marco, Victoria's next most famous Pom was a female named Gina who also became a champion at London dog shows. Victoria loved her Poms so much that as she lay dying, she asked that her favorite Pom (named Turi) be brought to her bedside. Victoria's love of the Pomeranians, especially the smaller ones, inspired English dog fanciers to begin breeding even smaller Poms. From 1900 until the 1930s, Pomeranians often had the largest number of entries at Crufts dog show, Britain's national championship. It was during this time that the breed standard was stabilized, with the size coming down to its present weight and the coat developing its characteristic deep frilling. Also during this time, a wider range of colors became available. Early Poms were primarily white, black, chocolate or blue, but after an orange dog began winning at dog shows in the 1920s, the range of colors expanded. The popularity of the Pom spread across the Atlantic. In 1888, a Pomeranian named Dick was the first Pom entered into the American Kennel Club (AKC) stud book. In 1892, the first Pom was entered in a dog show in New York. After the AKC recognized the breed in 1900, Pomeranians quickly grew in popularity in the United States. In 1909, the American Pomeranian Club was accepted as a member club of the AKC and designated as the Parent Club for the breed. By mid-century, Poms were one of the most popular dog breeds in America. Today they rank 14th among the 155 breeds and varieties registered by the AKC."


twice as less
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to: navigation, search
twice + as + less.
twice as less (not comparable)
 1. (nonstandard, proscribed) Half as much.
 - 1987, Eleanor Wilson Orr, Twice as Less[1], W. W. Norton & Co.:
 - 2015 July 27, Yaroslav Vlasov, "Electioneering games in Siberia", Open Democracy:
 The governing party receives twice as less votes here than it does on average across Russia.
 - 2002, Claude R. Phipps, editor, High-power Laser Ablation III, SPIE, page 415:

 - 2011, Cai Jinfa, Eric J. Knuth, editors, Early Algebraization: A Global Dialogue from Multiple Perspectives, Springer, page 83:
 The children also are able to construct a table to assist them in determining how many runs must be made by a truck and a trailer in order to transport 1080 tons of coal, if the truck can haul 30 tons per load and the trailer can carry twice as less coal per load.
Usage notes[edit]
In order for the term to make proper sense, the subject should have a quantity that is multiplicative (or at least additive). It is preferable, however, to use a positive expression for the quantity, such as in half as much or half as many.
It may be seen used colloquially when the quantity is not multiplicative, as a form of emphatic. For example: He is twice as less intelligent than his father. The 'positive' expression (in this case, half as) is still preferred.


User Tools
Quick Start
This quick start guide will explain how to set up a primitive sphere to interact with water.
An empty scene will be used for the example.
Water Object Manager
WaterObjectManager is the main script of Dynamic Water Physics 2 and has to be present in the scene for water/object interaction to work. It does not matter to which object it is attached, it just needs to be present. WaterObjectManager fetches the data from all the WaterObjects in the scene, processes it and sends it to a job which then does all the physics calculations and makes use of multiple CPU cores.
 1. Add a WaterObjectManager to the scene. No need to change any settings. Example:
Example WaterObjectManager setup.
Water Object
WaterObject is a script that tells WaterObjectManager which objects should interact with water. Any object that is active and has this script will interact with water. There are two requirements for WaterObject to work: a Rigidbody and a MeshFilter from which the script will fetch the mesh (DWP2 uses mesh data to simulate object/water interaction). Rigidbody does not have to be attached to the same object as WaterObject, but it must be present in one of its parents. This allows for composite objects; one Rigidbody with multiple hulls - such as a trimaran.
 1. Add a 3D Object ⇒ Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add a Sphere Collider to the Sphere if is not automatically added.
 3. Add a Rigidbody to the Sphere and set its mass to 300. There is also a script called MassFromMaterial which can calculate and set the Rigidbody mass based on material density and mesh volume, but it is a helper script and not required.
 4. Add WaterObject to the Sphere. Since the sphere by default has 768 triangles Simplify Mesh option should be used. This option automatically decimates the mesh to a Target Triangle Count. A good triangle count is 30 or less for simple objects and around 60 for ship hulls. Using higher triangle count will only have a minor influence on simulation quality but will have a linear performance penalty (doubling the triangle count will about halve the performance). Therefore, adjusting the triangle count until the object starts to lose its shape is recommended. In the case of the example sphere 36 will be enough:
Example WaterObject setup.
Water Data Provider
WaterDataProvider is a script that tells WaterObjectManager where the water is. It is an interface between water systems/assets and Dynamic Water Physics and allows the two to communicate. All flat water assets/shaders use the same WaterDataProvider: FlatWaterDataProvider while for wavy assets such as Crest an asset-specific WaterDataProvider has to be used, e.g. CrestWaterDataProvider.
As an example a flat water plane will be used:
 1. Create an empty object using RMB ⇒ Create Empty and name it Water. Name does not matter.
 2. Add FlatWaterDataProvider to it and press Play. The object will now float but it will appear as if it floating in empty space (which it is). FlatWaterDataProvider assumes that water is at transform.position.y of the object it is attached to and does not care about any shaders, colliders, etc. Changing the Y value of Transform's position will make the Sphere float at different heights.
 3. To make this look more realistic, a plane can be added instead. Delete the Water object created in step 1 and create a 3D Object plane instead. Attach FlatWaterDataProvider and make sure to remove MeshCollider from it or the sphere will just sit on the plane through physics collision.
 4. Press play again. The sphere floats the same as in step 2 but it appears it is in 'water'. At this point Default-Material of the plane can be replaced with a material that uses some kind of flat water shader - e.g. the included WaterProDaytime material which is just a standard Unity water.
A result of following this guide. Not pretty, but fully functional.
Water Particle System
WaterParticleSystem can be used to generate foam. It works with any flat water.
 1. Drag DefaultWaterParticleSystem from DWP2 ⇒ Resources into the scene and parent it to the Sphere.
 Example WaterParticleSystem setup.
 2. Move the Sphere to be above the water and press play. Sphere falling into the water will generate foam around it based on simulation data. WaterParticleSystem and ParticleSystem values can be tweaked to suit the needs of the project.
Center Of Mass
CenterOfMass is a simple script that offsets the center of mass of a Rigidbody.
Unity calculates center of mass of the object from all of its colliders, as if the object were homogenous. In many cases this is not correct - a ship has ballast, a crate could have some load in it, a barrel could have oil, etc.
To adjust the center of mass of an object simply attach CenterOfMass script to the same object that contains the Rigidbody and adjust the Center Of Mass Offset - a value in local coordinates which tells how much to offset center of mass from the Unity-calculated point. Want a ship to be less prone to capsizing? Lower the Y component of COM.
CenterOfMass inspector.
Water Object Wizard
WaterObjectWizard is a helper script that sets up a WaterObject automatically. It is still recommended to have knowledge of manual setup and how things work, but this script can automate and speed up the setup process.
A primitive Sphere will be used, same as in the rest of the guide above.
 1. Add a 3D Object > Sphere to the scene.
 2. Add WaterObjectWizard to the newly create Sphere.
 3. Tick Add Water Particle System (optional). This option is self-explanatory.
 4. Click Auto-Setup and press Play after the setup is done. The Sphere now floats and generates foam. Next step would be to manually check and tweak the default values, such as Target Triangle Count, center of mass, etc.
Enabling Burst
Burst is a compiler, it translates from IL/.NET bytecode to highly optimized native code using LLVM. This improves job performance.
It can be installed from Unity PackageManager.
By default Burst compilation is disabled. This is due to the fact that cross compilation is not supported in some cases. E.g. building for Mac OS on Windows will fail if Burst is enabled.
To enable Burst compilation add DWP_BURST under Project Settings ⇒ Player ⇒ Scripting Define Symbols. Make sure that the Burst package installed beforehand.


Materials Used to Make Cable Ties and their Applications
While cable ties are usually used to bundle together wires and cabling, they can be used for many other purposes as well, such as identifying hazardous materials. Since they are manufactured in several colours, businesses can use them to help code substances or to secure loads during transport. Most cable ties are nylon, but they can be made of other materials as well, allowing them to hold up to different stresses and exposure to different substances.
Materials for Cable Ties
Cable ties replace the use of string, twine, or rope to secure bundles of wires, cabling, or other types of materials. They hold up better against various stresses and are available in a variety of materials. If you install IT cabling or wiring, your company can order custom-printed ties to help identify the purpose of the cables or wires being secured together.
Nylon Cable Ties
Many cable ties are manufactured from nylon because this material holds together well under all types of stress. Nylon cable ties are not easily broken, so they can be used for multiple purposes. While most cable ties are black, white, or grey for generic use, coloured cable ties can be used to colour code the wires or cables being bundled together, allowing quick identification.
All cable ties have a flame-resistance requirement, so nylon cable ties come in either 6.6 nylon or 4.6 nylon, which is a higher-temperature nylon. While most cable ties are used for indoor purposes, they can also be used outdoors. Black cable ties are UV-protected for use outdoors as well as indoors, because they are also resistant to different types of environmental contaminants. Black nylon ties are made from a 12-grade nylon because they require a higher tensile strength.
Stainless Steel Ties
Rust-resistant cable ties in Melbourne are used for strapping together materials which may be exposed to saltwater or chemicals. So, if you have a marine company or a business that handles corrosive chemicals, these ties would be the best for strapping things down on a boat or identifying containers of chemicals. This helps ensure the safety of employees as well.
Metal-detectable Cable Ties
Companies in the food, beverage, or pharmaceutical industry will need to use metal-detectable cable ties so they can be detected by x-ray machines or metal detectors. These ties have metal bits embedded into the material so they can be detected. They can be used to secure cables or hoses during processing to help prevent contamination.
Depending on the materials being bundled and what they may be exposed to, this type of cable tie comes in two varieties: halar fluoropolymer and tefzel fluoropolymer. Halar fluoropolymer ties are used to bundled qualified cable. They are flame-resistant and meet UL flammability standards.
Tefzel fluoropolymer cable ties are used for applications in which they will be exposed to environmental stresses like chemical exposure, ultraviolet and gamma radiation, or extreme temperatures. It is important that these ties survive these stresses, in order to help identify the materials they hold together.
Depending on the materials your company works with, these cable ties can help identify what is bundled together.

American Indian Heritage Month declared by board
The board of commissioners has declared May 2022 as American Indian Heritage Month.
The land in present day known as Ramsey County is located on the ancestral and contemporary lands of American Indian people. It is home to the American Indian people of Turtle Island since time immemorial and holds great historical, spiritual and personal significance for its original stewards. The building of this county would not have been possible without the American Indian people of Turtle Island.
The name Ramsey County uncovers the truths and long-standing impact, harm, genocide and racism – at the direction of Governor Ramsey – to forcefully remove the area's American Indian residents from their homelands. Ramsey County strives to eliminate systemic racism towards American Indian people and seeks to promote practices and policies that honor the state's American Indian roots, history and contributions. The board encourages all residents in the community to honor and celebrate the many American Indian Minnesotans and county residents that remind us daily of our rich American Indian heritage.

Yes Crimson x Eastern Rosella hybrids are not so uncommon (certainly in
Canberra). Though it is odd to happen that much, when both species are
common. Hybrids would appear more likely when one species is rare. These are
interspecific hybrids which are of course (normally) much less common that
hybrids between members of the same species, such as Crimson and Yellow
Rosella at the region where the two forms meet. The questions are about how
frequent these events are and whether the hybrids are able to attract a mate
and are fertile and form an intergradation zone. Typically in the case of
Crimson and Yellow Rosella they do as they are the same species so it is
debatable as to whether they should be called hybrids any more than
interracial people pairings. Crimson x Eastern Rosella are not the same
species. But the whole thing highlights that the context of species
boundaries and definitions is not always clear.

I don't know whether the Canberra suburbs qualify as 'the wild' but a male
crimson x eastern rosella has been around our patch for at least the last
ten years (same individual). It's intermediate in size between the two and
is very handsome e with its Crimson and yellow plumage. It hangs around with
a female eastern, but I have never seen them with young.

The speed of a snake depends on the species and size. On average, the fastest a snake moves is between 5 and 8 mph. The world's fastest snake is the Black Mamba, which can reach speeds of 10 to 12 mph in short bursts.
Snakes utilize different forms of movement, depending on their environment. The most common form is lateral undulation, which is used on land and water. The snake flexes its body from left to right and creates a wave-like motion that propels it forward, moving it about two body lengths per second.
Terrestrial lateral undulation uses the same motion, but the snake pushes against small objects in its path, such as rocks, trees or clumps of dirt. At each point where the snake's body touches the objects, it thrusts forward, creating more momentum and faster speeds. This is the fastest way snakes move, gaining up to eight body lengths a second.
Snakes use sidewinding when surfaces are smooth and they lack objects to push against, such as on sand dunes. A sidewinding snake uses the left-right motion of the lateral undulation, but one-half of the body pushes to the ground while the other is lifted into the air. The alternating motion moves the snake forward like a rolling wave.

 1. Coal gas
 Coal gas is a flammable gaseous fuel made by the destructive distillation of coal and contains a variety of calorific gases including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and volatile hydrocarbons together with small quantities of non-calorific gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It was the primary source of gaseous fuel for the United States and the UK until the widespread adoption of natural gas during the 1940s and 1950s in the US, and the late 1960s and 1970s in the UK. It was used for lighting, cooking, and heating and was often supplied to households via a municipally owned piped distribution system. Originally created as a by-product of the coking process, its use developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries tracking the industrial revolution and urbanization. By-products from the production process included coal tars and ammonia, which were important chemical feedstock for the dye and chemical industry with a wide range of artificial dye colours being made from coal gas and coal tar. Facilities where the gas was produced were often known as a manufactured gas plant or a gasworks. The discovery of large reserves of natural gas in the North Sea off the UK coast during the early 1960s led to the expensive conversion or replacement of most of the nation's gas cookers and gas heaters, with the exception of Northern Ireland, from the late 1960s onwards.

text: Without dying and fluorescently labeled markers on tissues, Intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) detection technology is a promising method to detect retinal function without influence on normal activities of organism. Slow IOSs of retina reflect the activities in inner retina and the middle layer of retina. In this paper, an IOSs' detection system was built to detect slow IOSs based clinical instrument, Heidelberg Retina Angiograph 2(HAR2). The retina was illuminated by near infrared light continuously during the experiments. The visible light was presented to stimulate the retina. After image alignment and image processing, the signal-to-noise ratio of the IOSs was improved and the signal changes can be extracted. The experimental results showed that the present detection system is suitable to obtain the slow IOSs in clinic and IOSs detection technology is an effective noninvasive method to study changes of function of retina.

Rolled hinges is the collective name for all hinges with a bead. Rolled hinges refers to the hinge shape having been formed by 'rolling' the metal. Rolling is a pressing process; a special beading tool creates a 'roll' in both parts of the hinge. The hinge halves are then calibrated to receive the correct pin diameter. The parts are connected with a pin to create the hinge.

Allowing parallel iOS UI tests runs in CI
If you have your CI machine set up to run multiple jobs in parallel you might have encountered a problem. You cannot run multiple iOS UI tests in the same simulator at the same time. They will fail.
The problem
Imagine this scenario. You have one CI machine that allows two or more jobs to run in parallel. You have a UI tests job set up. Two of your developers push changes to their branches at (almost) the same time. The CI machine then tries to run two UI tests at the same time in the same simulator and at least one of them fails and has to be retried.
You can of course solve this problem by not allowing parallel jobs on the CI machine, but that slows down the CI process. There is a better way.
The solution
You can create a brand new iOS simulator instance for every job, run the UI tests in this new simulator instance and then delete it when you are done. This way no matter how many iOS UI tests jobs you run in parallel they will all use a separate iOS simulator instance and not affect each other.
Creating a new iOS simulator instance
The first step is to choose a unique simulator name for each job. You can generate some random guid for example. In Gitlab CI I just use the ID of the Gitlab CI job that is stored in the ${CI_PIPELINE_ID} environment variable
First you need to create the new iOS simulator instance at the start of the CI job
xcrun simctl create ${CI_PIPELINE_ID} 'xcrun simctl list runtimes | grep iOS | awk '{print $NF}''
This command creates a new iOS simulator instance with the given name using the iPhone 11 device and the latest simulator runtime. Using the latest simulator runtime makes sure that when you update Xcode on the CI machine you do not have to do any changes to you CI scripts.
Using the new iOS simulator instance
Now that you have a new iOS simulator instance created you can use it to run your iOS UI tests. You can simply pass the name to the xcodebuild command if you use it directly or use it instead of the device type when using Fastlane

Reading environment variables from iOS and macOS unit tests
In some environments like the CI/CD you might need to read environments variables from your iOS or macOS unit tests.
A typical example might be reading secrets or configuration that is CI/CD specific and you do not want to store it in source control.
In Swift you can read environment variables using the ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment dictionary, for example
let host = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["apiHost"]?? "default fallback host"
The problem is this code does not just work, there is one other step you need to do first.
You need to edit your Test scheme and add every environment variable you want to read to the Environment Variables section.
You can rename the variables but for simplicity and readability you should probably keep the same names.

Graying out images in Cocoa
I have been working on a macOS application recently where I encountered an interesting task to grey out flags for countries that are disabled.
I first tried overlaying a semi-transparent gray view (fun fact, you cannot directly set a background for a view in Cocoa, you need to use the layer) over the flag image but it did not look very good.
Luckily there is a way to convert a NSImage to grayscale directly in Cocoa.
You first need to create a bitmap representation your NSImage
let bitmap = NSBitmapImageRep(cgImage: cgImage)
convert it to grayscale
let grayscale = bitmap.converting(to:.genericGray, renderingIntent:.default)
and then construct an NSImage from the result.
let grayImage = NSImage(size: grayscale.size)
Putting it all together as an NSImage extension might look like this

Web scraping with Swift
In a few projects in the past I needed to do web scraping to get some data from websites that did not offer access via an API. I was using C# at the time and scraping web with Html Agility Pack was quite easy.
I now spend most of my time in macOS because of work projects so when I needed to do some web scraping again I did not want to install and set up Mono to do it again in C#. I decided to go with Swift, as I am now quite comfortable with the language after 4 years of using it daily.
The first thing I need to do was to found some library to parse HTML, some Swift equivalent to Html Agility Pack. I found SwiftSoup.
SwiftSoup allows you to access DOM in HTML documents and also HTML fragments. The usage is quite simple, you just need to know a thing or two about HTML.
Let's say you want to parse the Hacker News main page and scrap posts containing some specific keywords.
This is quite an artificial example but the idea is simple. You use the developer tools in your browser of choice to see the HTML of the parts of a website that you are interested in and try to get to them descending and filtering the DOM using SwiftSoup.
You first need to read the website and parse it
let content = try String(contentsOf: URL(string: "")!)
let doc: Document = try SwiftSoup.parse(content)
Looking at the HTML you can see it uses a table layout and all the posts are in a rows of a table with a class called itemlist.

Generating boilerplate Swift code with GYB
How many times how you copied and pasted some code in your current codebase because there was no good way to abstract it? Maybe because it was some repeating code required by a framework or mapping of some data transfer structures.
Writing such boilerplate code is an error-prone waste of time, especially when there is a much better way: generating that code.
There are a few tools to help you do that, one of the most flexible of them being GYB.
What is GYB?
GYB is a lightweight templating system that allows you to use Python to generate text files. Those text files can be Swift source code files or anything else you need.
GYB is used in the Swift standard library codebase so it works well for generating Swift source code and it is a proven technology that works.
You can download GYB to your project from the Swift repository on Github
chmod +x gyb
I put it directly to the project directory and include it in the source control for simpler build and CI/CD setup.
Creating GYB templates
GYB templates for generating Swift source file look like Swift source files with some Python snippets for code generation.
This is probably best shown on an actual example. Let's say you have a list of permissions that the app needs to support. Those permissions are then a part of a protocol and of a few structs.

Web 2.0 and social media has transformed users from passive audiences to active participants in new production and distribution. The change is particularly prominent in a few digital news portals that encourage users to register as news reporters. While the juxtaposition of users-generated news (UGN) and organization-generated news (OGN) has significantly affected news industry, scientific understanding of this phenomenon remains scant. To fill the research gap, this paper proposes an integrated model to investigate the difference between UGN and OGN in their linguistic feature and temporal pattern, and examine their subsequent effect on circulation performance. The research model will be tested with 450,514 news crawled from Jinritoutiao.com, a popular online news portal in China which embraces both UGN and OGN on its platform. This paper is expected to contribute to literature by revealing the strategic behavior of UGN in pursuit for circulation performance.
