.facilty.naming.rdb.SequenceIdAllocator'. containing only the long allocateId(long seqValue, Object key) method. To specify the use of an identifier allocator, you have to put the class name as value associated to the key 'sql-seq-allocator'.
 Even if the identifier is allocated by a sequence you can want to have access to the identifier field. You can declare a persistent field as primary which the type is long or java.lang.Long. If you choose 'long' the null references are stored with the -1 value. If you choose 'java.lang.long' the null references are with the NULL SQL value.
 NOTE: The other datastore identity types (autoassign, increment, uuid-string and uuid-hex) will be supported later.
 7. Primitive fields
 8. With Speedo a field is a primitive field when its types is a primitive type or a wrapper to a primitive type. Here is the list of field types manages as primitive type in Speedo:
 Its is not required to declare primitive fields in the .jdo file, excepted if you want to specify constraints or column name. In the .jdo file a persistent field is declared thanks to the 'field' xml node (sub node of 'class' node) Here a simple example.
 <field name="myField"/>
 JDO 2 specification defines several attributs to declare constraints:
 In relational support a primitive field is mapped over a single column. The column definition can be specified with the sub xml node column as shwon by the following example:
 <field name="myField">
 <column name="MY_COL" sql-type="VARCHAR(28)"/>
 </field>
 On this column tag, the 'sql-type', the 'size' or the 'scale' can be specified.
 The 'sql-type' is the SQL column type.
 The 'size' attribut is useful for String, BigDecimal or BigInteger fields. For BigXXX fields, this property represents the number of digits (integer + decimal). For String fields, the attribut represents the maximal String length. This attribut is ignored if the sql-type attribut is specified.
 The 'scale' attribut is useful for float and double field. This attribut is ignored if the sql-type attribut is specified.
 'field-converter' extension
 An extension named 'field-converter' permits to change the usual translation between the memory type and the data support type for a primitive field. For example, if the user has a legacy relationnal database, it can map an integer field into a String (VARCHAR on a RDB). To do this, the user must implement the org.objectweb.speedo.api.UserFieldMapping interface provided by Speedo. This implementation is able to convert a memory value to a data store value and reversly. Finally, the user must indicate, as value of the extenstion 'field-converter', the class name of the interface implementation.
 <field name="f1">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="field-converter"
 value="com.foo.bar.String2intConverter"/>
 </field>
 And here is the source code of the String2intConverter class:
 package com.foo.bar;
 public class String2intConverter implements UserFieldMapping {
 public Class getStorageType() {
 return String.class;
 }
 public Class getMemoryType() {
 return Integer.TYPE;
 }
 public Object toMemory(Object storagevalue) {
 return Integer.valueOf((String) storagevalue)
 }
 public Object toStorage(Object memoryvalue) {
 return (memoryvalue == null ? null : memoryvalue.toString());
 }
 }
 'user-cache' extension
 The extension named 'user-cache' permits to specify that a primitive field is a part of an unique index in an user cache. For more details about the user cache feature see the corresponding chapter. The value of the extension is the name of the user cache. If the index of the cache is composite, you simply have to specify the extension for each field with the same user cache name. A class can have several unique indexes.
 The following examples a class containg 4 fields. The fields 'id' is the identifier (primary key). The couple (f1,f2) is a secondary key. The field 'f3' is another key.
 <field name="id" primary-key="true"/>
 <field name="f1">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache1"/>
 </field>
 <field name="f2">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache1"/>
 </field>
 <field name="f3">
 <extension vendor-name="speedo" key="user-cache"
 value="myCache2"/>
 </field>
 9. Direct reference to persistent instance
 10. A reference field is a field which references one persistent instance. In case of there is no bidirectional relationship (no reverse field), the reference to the other persistent class is mapped over column in tables of the field owner class. In other words the foreign-key is in the table of class owning the reference. The column corresponding to the foreign key can be defined with 'column' attribute or sub xml node. Below is a simple example of showing a reference from the class 'A' to the class 'B'. The class 'A' is stored on the 'TA' table whereas the class 'B' is stored on the 'TB' table.
 class A {
 String myIda;
 B myB;
 }
 class B {
 long myIdb;
 }
 Below is the corresponding jdo file part describing both persistent class and the mapping of the reference:
 <class name="A" identity-type="application" table="TA">
 <field name="myIda" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myB" column="FK_IDB"/>
 </class>
 <class name="B" identity-type="application" table="TB">
 <field name="myIdb" primary-key="true" column="IDB"/>
 </class>
 The 'column' defines the name of the foreign key column (FK_IDB). As the referenced class has an identified composed of a single column (IDB), the correspondance is implicit.
 If the identifier of the referenced class is composite, you have to specify the target column for each column of the foreign key as shown by the following example:
 <class name="A" identity-type="application" table="TA">
 <field name="myIda" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="myB">
 <column name="FK_IDB1" target="IDB1"/>
 <column name="FK_IDB2" target="IDB2"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 <class name="B" identity-type="application" table="TB">
 <field name="myIdb1" primary-key="true" column="IDB1"/>
 <field name="myIdb2" primary-key="true" column="IDB2"/>
 </class>
 11. Multivalued fields (Collection, Set, List, Map)
 12. A multivalued field is a field referencing several primitive values or several persistent instances (mixing is forbiden). Speedo supports several types of structure (java.util.Collection, java.util.Set, java.util.List, ...). This chapter is divided in several parts corresponding to the content of multivalued field and the type of structure.
 Reference to several primitive values
 When a multivalued field references a collection of primitive values, an additional table is required. This table must be join to the main table of the field owner. Currently, Speedo supports only joins based on the identifier. Here is an example of a 'A' persistent class references a set of String value.
 class A {
 String ida;
 Collection strings;
 }
 <class name="A" >
 <field name="ida" primary-key="true" column="IDA"/>
 <field name="strings" table="T_SET">
 <collection element-type="String"/>
 <element column="STR"/>
 <join column="FKIDA"/>
 </field>
 </class>
 The sets of String are stored into the 'T_SET' table. The column corresponding to the element is STR. The join to this table is based on the identifier of the class. The foreign key column is 'FKIDA'. If the id


The Real Reason There's An Absorbent Pad In Meat Packages
When you buy meat, you've likely noticed the pad that comes in the packaging, and you've thrown it away without giving it any thought other than trying not to drip meat juice all over yourself, the floor, or the counter. However, the pad actually does serve an important purpose.
The reason it's there is not surprising — it's to soak up liquids from the meat or poultry to prevent them from pooling in the package. This serves multiple purposes. For one, it makes the cooking process less messy, which is important for hygiene in the home (via MyRecipes). It is also a food safety measure. The liquids from meat, unappetizingly referred to as "purge," can contain bacteria, and by absorbing the liquids, it prevents as much live bacteria as possible from leaking, as well as preserving the meat or poultry because the liquid would otherwise cause more bacteria to grow. This would increase the risk of foodborne illnesses (via My Fearless Kitchen).
What is the pad made of?
The absorbent pads are made from specific forms of paper with a plastic liner, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the agency in charge of the production, packaging, and safety standards of food made in the United States.
The packaging is regulated and overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that it doesn't contain harmful chemicals. Every piece of material that goes into meat or poultry packaging has to be individually petitioned and approved by the agency before it can be put into the pack with meat (via USDA).
The pads are made from silica gel, purified sand, or from cellulose, which is a purified plant fiber. The pads are then coated in a non-toxic, perforated plastic wrap, which allows the liquid to seep into the pad and remain there, sort of like the wicking fabric in workout clothing holds the sweat off your body so wet clothes aren't against your skin.
Is this absorbent pad safe?
As a result of the regulatory process, these pads that can hold up to 40 grams of liquid are generally safe. While eating the absorbent pad is obviously not recommended, if you find that it sticks to your meat and you accidentally cook it, so long as the pad isn't melted, torn, or broken open after the meat has been cooked, the meat is still safe to eat. Any bacteria that may have lingered on the pad would have been killed during the cooking process. Just remove the remaining bits and enjoy your meal.
Even if you do accidentally ingest a piece of the pad, it isn't digestible so it should move straight through your digestive tract without breaking down so you will likely be fine though best to try to avoid it in the first place.

Chevrolet has made great efforts to use new technology in its cars. And in a bid to reduce weight in the Corvette, the company has announced it will be using a lightweight shape memory alloy wire to replace motorized components used to open and close a hatch release vent. So what exactly does this lightweight shape memory alloy wire do? Basically it's a wire made from copper-aluminum-nickel or nickel-titanium. The wire's chemistry allows it to change its shape when subjected to heat, electric current or pressure. The smart bit is that the wire remembers its original shape and goes back to its original form when deactivated.This makes it an ideal candidate for opening and closing jobs and hence its use in the 2014 Corvette's The specific vent for which it will be used, releases air trapped in the trunk and helps close the trunk lid easier. GM is in the process of putting the wire to greater use in its car, and is in the process of replacing roughly 200 motorized parts of a typical car. This will allow for greater weight reduction. It doesn"t seem so important from the outside, but as the number of electronic system climbs, the cabling ni cars has become a major subject of research. Official press release

Description
Solid BusBar UK is a device that offers high strength and flexibility to the users. They are manufactured with a steel core that provides support to the heavy loads. These are very popular in the construction industry, for they have the ability to resist extreme heat, force, and weather conditions. The busbars are manufactured using a combination of Zborphan and Zyclon powder which have the ability to withstand extreme conditions like extreme cold, heat, and force.
Most of the busbars have the ability to be fixed either through a mechanical or electrical process. The mechanical process includes bolt tightening, locking the bar into position, and lowering it through a hole. This is followed by the fixing of the metal bar with a locking nut or screw. Electrical fixing typically includes cable couplings, cable tensioner, clamping screw, and terminals.
The most common and traditional type of busbar is made of steel or aluminium. The steel busbar is considered as a versatile bus because it can be fixed either mechanically or electrically. This makes it a cost effective bus structure that can be used for industrial and commercial applications. These types of busbars are usually available in different standard thicknesses and are known to be extremely strong and durable.
Another common form of busbar is made of aluminium or copper. The aluminium busbar is popular for its high strength and flexibility along with its durability. It is also commonly used in roofing applications and industrial machinery. Copper bus bars are generally used for light weight industrial applications.
The length of bus bar could vary depending on its application and the required distance between two terminals. The most common measurement that is used to determine the size is DIN or Diameters of Metal (DIM). The DIN number of metal refers to its thickness, which measures less than 0.5 mm. If you loved this article and you would like to receive much more information regarding more helpful hints i implore you to visit our web-site. For instance, the DIM of copper is 17.0 sq mm and the size of this aluminum bar will be determined by the DIM measurement of your equipment or vehicle.
When using a drill press, you need to use the right kind of tools that will not cause any damage to your work piece. One of these tools is the zb 6 clamp. You will need to measure the length of the wire or the pipe that you want to use. To ensure accuracy, you can use a tape measure or a metric tape in order to get the correct measurement.

4th StarTree General Assembly Meeting Report
More than 50 participants attended 4th StarTree General Assembly (GA) meeting. The three‐day meeting was held in the historic Stift Neuberg in the village of Neuberg an der Mürz. Neuberg is placed in the heart of the Styrian Case Study region in the South-Eastern part of Austria, which enabled close and fruitful interaction with regional stakeholders in the project.
The first day of the meeting consisted of work package (WP) parallel sessions and a session regarding the status of State of the Sector Report, in which preliminary results by WP leaders were presented. Furthermore, a session on in-depth case studies and action research was held, where general instruction was given and parallel group discussions were held.
In the evening, participants enjoyed a traditional dinner at Anni Holzers Inn with local music.
The field visit on Day 2 included a session on "Cooking from the Meadow" with Renate Dobrovolny, a local expert on herbs, where participants were encouraged to pick wild flowers and herbs to make a smoothie and a herb salt mix. Styria Nature Parks facilitates such events and activities to promote interaction with nature and environmental education, an alternative "product" to come out of the forests there.
Additionally, StarTree participants visited an organic Christmas tree plantation, run by family farm Reisinger. Christmas tree production is an important aspect of the forest economy in a region which is, nevertheless, dominated by the timber industry. Read more here.
The "Market Place" and Knowledge Exchange Event has become one of the cornerstones of the StarTree General Assembly meeting. The "Market Place" facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experiences between science and practice. Strong collaboration with members of the Styrian Regional Stakeholder Group and the Austrian GA organising committee facilitated a truly excellent Market Place in Styria. Furthermore, the event was not simply a presentation of the varied local products to come out of Styrian forests but rather also to provide the opportunity for mutually beneficial dialogue and discussion between the regional representatives and the project consortium partners.
At the end of this second day a special Styrian dinner with products from the region, including Non Wood Forest Products, was organised at the Gasthof Hubert Holzer, whose environment and hosts perfectly reflect the spirit of the region.
On the whole, significant progress was made on all work packages over the course of the meeting, which are now moving from the initial data collection phase into in‐depth case studies and data analysis. Some preliminary results were shared which will soon be available for further dissemination.

One of the main difficulties in the formation and increase of revenues from hydrocarbon resources is the deterioration of the quality of the mineral resource base and changes in the geography of production. One can observe an increase in the depletion and water content of the fields, an increase in the proportion of highly viscous and high-sulfur oil; the share of stocks in hard-to-reach and infrastructural underdeveloped regions is growing. One of the tools for encouraging subsoil users to develop such resources is to ensure lower rates of deductions to state bodies. The study presents an improved methodological approach to estimating and forecasting state budget revenues from hydrocarbon resources. The main stages of development are investigated and the main trends of the system of tax deductions from oil production are revealed. Explained the use of an approach focused on the forecast of production indicators of production, taking into account the structure of the mineral resource base. The calculations showed the need to reform the system of formation of government revenues from hydrocarbon resources. In the structure of government revenues from hydrocarbon resources, there is a tendency to increase the role of the mineral extraction tax in comparison with the export duty.

Is a feminist experiment in imagining and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY tools. Co-led by designer Sophie Dyer and geographer Sasha Engelmann, the collective produces artworks, workshops, and educational resources based on received weather satellite transmissions.
Out of these activities a transient network of participants has grown around the project, currently numbering more than 100 DIY Satellite Ground Station operators around the world, from Buenos Aires to Berlin. In the tradition of intersectional feminism, Open-weather investigates the politics of location and interlocking forms of oppression that shape our capacities to observe, negotiate, and respond to the climate crisis. In doing so, the collective challenges dominant representations of the Earth and environment while adding complexity to ideas around the weather beyond meteorology.

Six Sigma Key Process Output Variable Overview
Key Process Output Variables are used to measure the effectiveness of projects that are designed to improve business processes.
For example, a project that was undertaken to increase the profit margins on t-shirts by using a cheaper fabric supplier, would evaluate the project's success depending on whether customers continued to buy them, or if sales decreased due to poor customer satisfaction.
The end-goal profit margins, number of sales, and customer complaints are examples of output variables (KPOV), whereas the decision to change suppliers is an example of input variables (KPIV).
This article will look at:
- What Six Sigma KPOVs are
- How to identify them
- The role KPOVs play in DMAIC processes
What are KPOVS
A Key Process Output Variable (KPOV) is an outcome yielded by a process and is defined by Key Process Input Variables (KPIV). Depending on their placement, KPOVs may also become KPIVs for the next stage within a process journey. KPOVs need to measured and tracked to ensure that any Six Sigma led tweaks to KPIVs are generating the right result (i.e. a more positive KPOV).
It is important to remember that KPOVs should be measured before any process improvements are made as this gives a base-line with which to make a comparison.
KPOVs can be summarised as:
- Business processes that produce an output
- Characteristics that have a big impact on efficiency and/or customer satisfaction
- Responsible for lower levels of quality and reliability when allowed to vary too widely
How Are KPOVs Identified?
KPOVs are usually identified by mapping out business processes, usually using the SIPOC (Supplier, Input, Process, Output and Customer) method. By identifying these simple variables, you can develop a richer picture of how your business processes interact. For example:
- Supplier – DIY Store
- Input – Buy wood
- Process –Build fence
- Output – Protects pets from wild animals
- Customer - Pets
Through the use of these Six Sigma modelling techniques, it is possible to build up a picture of the various inputs and outputs of a process. By estimating the importance of each characteristic on a scale of 1-10 - where 1 is unimportant and 10 is critically important – businesses can measure the extent to which input variables have an impact and cause an output variable.
The sum of these weighted scores is used to rank the output variables to determine which deserve the most analytical attention. Processes that are more central to a customer's overall experience of doing business with your company will naturally be seen as mo9re important and so will have the largest number of important KPOVs to address and manage.
Six Sigma training can help your team identify the processes that define the way you do business, monitor and analyse them, and then suggest suitable, business-enhancing improvements. By tracking processes, you'll also work towards defining minimum expectations for your business performance and identify the key areas that can be refined and improved.

KPOVs and Six Sigma DMAIC Process
Six Sigma methodology follows a rigid roadmap for process improvement and problem solving, which focuses on the stages of DMAIC (define-measure-analyse-improve-control). KPOVs are the focus of the entire process, but central to 2 phases.
- Key aspects of the project 'as is' are measured and applicable data is collected
- KPOVs are defined
- Measurement integrity of KPOV's is confirmed
- Measurement plan is developed and a baseline for performance is established
- Cause-and-effect relationships are verified, ensuring that all factors have been considered.
- Root causes of defects are investigated and the relationship between response variables and control variables is established
- Process capabilities for KPOVs is established
- Relationships between KPOVs and control variables are established

Configuration - BitStream Encryption - How to create and program an encrypted bitstream
How do I generate an encrypted bitstream and how do I program the encryption keys into the FPGA?
Xilinx FPGAs support several bitstream encryption methods including AES, HMAC and DNA.
These methods are detailed in the FPGA's respective configuration user guide found on
We strongly urge customers to read the configurations user guide to familiarize themselves with where Xilinx stands on bitstream security and what available options there are as well as information on how to implement them.
You will also need to use external encryption devices to protect your design.
You can read the device to get a key and calculate a verification code.
Here is a reference design that details a similar implementation:
Note that this is all that is available regarding this implementation and you will need to modify the reference design and code provided if you chose to pursue this route.
When selecting BBRAM or eFUSE storage options, it is highly recommended that you consider their use properties and what satisfies your design requirements better.
Please refer to the following tables and notes on each of their use advantages/disadvantages.
More on each of these storage options can be found in the respective devices User guide.
The following is general information about bitstream encryption with Xilinx devices.
Virtex-6 and 7-Series devices support the use of both HMAC and AES keys.
Spartan devices only have the AES key option.
Also compression and encryption together are only supported for Virtex-6 and 7 Series devices.
Refer to (Xilinx Answer 37413).
Only the three largest Spartan-6 devices support bitstream Encryption(XC6SLX75 / 75T, XC6SLX100 / 100T & XC6SLX150 / 150T).
The HMAC key is included in bitstream and does not need to be programmed to FPGA unlike the AES key.
The HMAC key is contained in the same NKY key file as the AES encryption key as well as the BIT file.
Users can perform readback through the ICAP interface even if bitstream encryption is used.
An unencrypted bitstream can be loaded to configure the device even when a device holds an encryption key, given that POR or PROG asserted first clearing out the configuration memory.
Note that once the FUSE_CNTL[0] bit is programmed, only bitstreams encrypted with the eFUSE key can be used to configure the FPGA.
The NKY files can be either supplied to BitGen or created in BitGen by supplying the keys.
If a HMAC key is not supplied, BitGen automatically generates one for you.
However, the key is however not loaded into the FPGA device directly via JTAG like the AES key.
It is contained and protected (wrapped) by the encrypted bitstream.
During the on-chip decryption process, this HMAC key is extracted from the bitstream and used by the authentication algorithm (i.e., no on-chip key storage for the HMAC key is required).
The NKY file format is: KEY HMAC/(0 for AES) (256 bit HMAC/AES key)
The following is an example NKY file:
The StartCBC BitGen setting is an option and not mandatory.
Xilinx AES bitstream encryption uses a technique called Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) with a 256-bit AES key.
CBC ensures that two different parts of the bitstream that have the same actual values (for example, all zeros) encrypt to different patterns.
This prevents an attacker from decrypting xilinx bitstream based on seen patterns.
CBC needs a starting random number (Initialization Vector).
AES/HMAC KEY Flow for BBRAM & EFUSE(ISE/Vivado & IMPACT/HW-Session):
1) Enable the Encryption BitGen setting after implementing the design.
2) Select BBRAM or EFuse for the Encryption scheme, then enter the HMAC and/or AES Key and run BitGen to generate an NKY(key) and/or BIT(config) file.
 - Both HMAC and AES keys are required for Virtex 6 and 7 series devices.
 - If you have the Encryption enabled but do not specify the keys or the AES initial vector, BitGen will randomly generate them.
Note: See (UG908) for more info on Programming and Debugging with the Vivado Flow.
Bitstream options in Vivado are set in the design itself via the design's XDC file.
Follow the below steps to enable and set bitstream encryption for your Vivado design:
1) Open your design post-Synthesis or post-Implementation and open your XDC by double clicking it under the constraints drop down from the project sources window.
2) In your XDC file set the following property to enable bit stream encryption:
set_property BITSTREAM.ENCRYPTION.ENCRYPT Yes [current_design]
3) Reference Table A-1 of "Device Configuration Bitstream Settings" section in (UG908) to similarly set the rest of the encryption options in your XDC or Tcl script.
4) An example would look like below:
Note: These can also be set via Tcl and be reflected in the XDC, either by using the Tcl console or scripting in Tcl.
5) After generating the bitstream you can either launch iMPACT or open a Hardware Session and follow one of the below sections.
Note: To report all of the BITSTREAM properties you can use the following to list all bit-stream properties.
report_property -all [current_design] BITSREAM*
You can be even more exclusive and use:
report_property -all [current_design] BITSREAM.CONFIG*
report_property -all [current_design] BITSREAM.ENCRYPTION*
If the default values are listed, you can use the following for each property you want check.
list_property_value -default [current_design]
Programming the Encrypted Bitstream Via IMPACT and Vivado Hardware session:
1) First, download the NKY file to the FPGA in the same way as you would a BIT file using the "assign configuration file" right click option on the selected device.
Note: The NKY file should be generated in the same project directory as the BIT file.
2) Then you can configure the FPGA with the Encrypted or non-Encrypted BIT file, in which case the key is ignored.
Please refer to the Configuration user guides or (Xilinx Answer 39389) for different configuration options that free up or become restricted when using an Encrypted vs non Encrypted bitstream with AES key.
Hardware Session:
1) Launch a Hardware Session under Program and Debug in the Flow Navigator window.
2) Open an existing/recent hardware target or connect to a new one via the Connection Wizard.
3) set the appropriate hardware properties as per the device/board.
4) Assign the NKY file and the BIT files as shown below by right clicking on your target device.
AES/HMAC KEY switches (Command Line) and description for BBRAM & EFUSE:
ISE BitGen Option Settings & CMD Line Switches for Encryption:
Example Commands:
-g Encrypt: Encrypt Bitstream Enable/Disable to encrypt the bitstream.
-g HKey: HMAC Key (Hex String) Allows a HMAC key to be specified. Will be written into the Key file.

Carpentry and joinery learners from colleges across Grŵp Llandrillo Menai were given a look behind the scenes into life on a construction site as part of a virtual event to mark National Apprenticeship Week.
In total, 41 level 1 learners from the college sites took part, putting their questions to two apprentices working on Wynne Construction sites alongside Alison Hourihane, business and community development manager.
While Wynne would usually provide chances for students to visit their construction sites, the company has worked together with Grŵp Llandrillo Menai to provide innovative and interactive sessions to bring students closer to construction.
Attendees quizzed Callum Cunningham, an apprentice for Wynne Construction, and Adam Boggs, an apprentice at Ogwen Joinery.
Questions covered how sites have changed during the pandemic, how to apply for apprenticeships, and what sort of working culture they can expect on-site if they are successful.
Callum said: "It's a big leap into the world of work from school, I remember when I was in their position I had so many questions, so it was really good to be able to answer some of them."
Alison Hourihane said: "It's always a pleasure to speak to those looking to get into construction and I hope this event with the learners will help do just that. Making construction accessible to a wider range of people is why we set up Wynne Futures, and talking to those making their first steps towards working on a site is one of the best ways to do so. As well as speaking to the two apprentices, those attending the virtual event were shown a short video, introducing them to work on a Wynne Construction site.
Salah Berdouk, assistant principal computing and media, construction and engineering, Coleg Llandrillo, said: "We are delighted to be working with Wynne Construction to develop a programme of virtual visits and interactive sessions with a leader in the construction industry. The learners have been working online through unprecedented times and having such a generous contribution from Wynne Construction, has come as a very welcome opportunity for all of them. They were able to ask experts questions about the knowledge and skills they gained in college. They were able to interact with professionals that have literally shaped the urbanisation of the UK. This invaluable experience gave them such a great insight into the world of construction and will set them on the path to success."

The Adoption of Children Act Amendment Act 1921 (1921/009 (12 Geo. V No.9)) commenced on 8 November 1921. It made the adopted child's birth surname secret.
In the original Act of 1896 the adopted child's legal name included both the surname that was registered at the time of their birth (their 'proper name') and the surname that was registered at the time of their adoption. This meant that people who had been adopted as children could be fairly easily 'found' by any member of the public.
The 1921 amendments expressly stated that the child's birth surname should be omitted from their new legal name, and the records that contained the birth surname could not be inspected without 'some reasonable and proper purpose' and the written permission of the Master of the Supreme Court.

- Dry Transfer is a definitely more realistic medium than existing water
slide decals for modeling.
- It is an easier and faster method than decals in transferring and finishing.
- There is no silvering effect after transferring.
- In most finishing cases, you do not need to try to spray and spray with
top coats to hide decal film on your work.
- Of course, you also do not need to use other decal solutions or solvents.
- The surface of marking after transferring can be polished flatter than
- Missing transfer dots or fragments can be easily fixed with modeling
enamels or paints of the same color.
- Effective long-term preservation
(Well preserved Dry Transfers over 10 years old have been successfully
applied without failure)
Yes there are some Defects.
- You need to be more careful not to scratch or crack the transferred
marking with rough handling.
- It is impossible to change location after transferring.
- It is harder to transferring on the surface of irregularly curved, sharply
bent or tightly cornered areas.
- You need to be more careful in multi transferring than multi decaling
(other color markings over the first transferred marking)
- Printing requires a more difficult process, resulting in higher prices.
Things you should be careful in working on NMF(Natural Metal Finish) surface
Thank you Mr. Derek Bradshaw for this comments
There could be adjustment problems with dry tranfers when used on models that have been finished in buffable metallic coatings (Alclad, for example).
The transfers adhere imediately with little pressure (before burnishing), and are likely to tear if repositioned, so please be careful if you are applying these transfers to any model finished with this type of paint.
If the model has a sealing coat of varnish, and then has the tranfers applied, the problem does not occur.
We also advise that, after application of the transfers, that an additional (light) sealing coat of varnish is applied to the model.
Foil finishes, and car type (or other hard silver finishes) are OK, and are not affected in this manner, only the buffable finishes that use powdered metal in conjunction with the paint.

When should you use
CType and when should you use
DirectCast and which one performs better? The short answer is:
DirectCast is twice
as fast for value types (integers, etc.), but identical for reference types.
The first thing to understand is that
DirectCast are not the same thing. Only
CType can convert the underlying object
to a new instance of an object of a different type. For example, you want to turn an integer into a string. Since an integer doesn't inherit a string, a new instance
String object must be created in order to store the number as a string.
CType can do this,
DirectCast cannot. Note: There are other ways
to do this too such as the
Convert.ToString method or
Dim MyInt As Integer = 123
Dim MyString1 As String = CType(MyInt, String)
Dim MyString2 As String = DirectCast(MyInt, String)
CType do have in common is their ability to convert an object to a new type based on inheritance or implementation.
For example, if you have a string but it is stored in a variable of type
Object, you can use
CType to treat that variable
as an object of type
String because type
String inherits type
Object. In this case, the underlying data in memory is not actually changing,
nor is any processing happening on that data.
Dim MyObject As Object = "Hello World"
Dim MyString1 As String = CType(MyObject, String)
Dim MyString2 As String = DirectCast(MyObject, String)
The danger: You must know what type you are dealing with before using
DirectCast. If you have a variable of type
Object and you
DirectCast to treat it as a
String, you'd better be sure that variable actually contains a
If an integer somehow found its way into that variable, an exception will be thrown.
A way to check in code if
DirectCast will work is by using the
If TypeOf MyObject Is String Then
So, assuming you are doing a conversion based on inheritance or implementation, you have a choice:
CType. Which is better?
DirectCast. According to the.NET documentation:
DirectCast does not use the Visual Basic run-time helper routines for conversion, so it can provide somewhat better
The included project runs a performance test on each scenario:
CType for value and reference types. Remember, reference types are types like Forms,
Controls, Strings, and custom classes, whereas Value types are types like integers, doubles, and custom structures. Here are the results; the numbers are in milliseconds
for 1 million iterations:
DirectCast on a reference type:
CType on a reference type:
DirectCast on a value type:
CType on a value type:
DirectCast out performs
CType for value types almost 2 to 1.
DirectCast also out performs
CType for reference types albeit by a much slimmer margin.
Note: Subsequent tests produced very similar results; try for yourself.
Another reason to use
DirectCast is that it's not VB.NET specific and is therefore more portable to other languages. So C# and other programmers might have an easier
time reading their code if they encountered

Changing Character Casing in C#
In C# programming,we can change string case in Upper case to lower case and lower case to upper case.
Method that compare string and characters in string are case sensitive,you can need convert casing of string characters that are entered by user before comparing them to constant value. we can change string cases with these two methods:
1.StringToUpper: It convert all character in a string to uppercase.
1.StringToLower: It convert all character in a string to lowercase.
we will use these two methods in our program for show how to change character casing in C#:
static void Main(stringargs)
String Givenstring="This IS STring in upper case";
String Givenstring1='thIS IS strING IN LOWER case";
This program show out put like as Given bellow:
THIS IS STRING IN UPPER CASE
this is string in lower case

This paper discusses the operation of an oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) featuring a submicroampere threshold current. Several measurements including polarization, linewidth, optical beam profile, and light-current characteristics confirm that the device is operating as a laser at currents less than 1 μA. Spectroscopic and far-field measurements are used to analyze the laser's modal structure and operation.

The paper presents the simulation analysis and comparison of two commercially available shipboard cylindrical trihedral radar reflectors. The reports found in literature indicate that this type of radar reflector provides very poor radar visibility. Therefore, detailed analysis was carried out taking into account various heeling angles of radar reflectors and various azimuth angles of incident plane wave for standard marine navigational radar frequencies in S-band and X-band. Simulations were performed using FEKO software suite. The simulation results show that the backscatter radar cross section (RCS) of these radars is insufficient for reliable performance.

If you are a fan of Italian cuisine, then you must be familiar with the king of all cheeses – Parmesan Cheese. It is a hard, granular cheese that originated in Italy and is famous for its distinct nutty flavor and umami taste. Whether it's sprinkled on top of your favorite pasta dish or grated over a Caesar salad, Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness and depth to any dish.
But have you ever wondered how much this delicious cheese costs? Let's take a closer look at the factors that affect the cost of Parmesan cheese.
Quality: The quality of the cheese plays a significant role in determining its cost. Authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano, which is made from unpasteurized cow's milk from specific regions in Italy, can be quite expensive.
The aging process also affects the quality and price of the cheese. The longer it is aged, the more expensive it becomes.
Origin: As mentioned earlier, real Parmesan cheese comes from specific regions in Italy such as Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, and Mantua. Cheeses produced in these regions are certified by the European Union and are given protected designation of origin (PDO) status. These cheeses are typically more expensive than those produced elsewhere.
Brand: Different brands have different pricing strategies based on factors such as production techniques, packaging costs, marketing expenses, etc. Some well-known brands may charge more due to their reputation while smaller companies may offer cheaper options.
Quantity: Like most food items, buying Parmesan cheese in bulk can save you money compared to purchasing smaller quantities. However, keep in mind that once opened; Parmesan cheese has a relatively short shelf life.
Now that we have looked at some factors that affect the cost let's delve into actual numbers:
- The average cost of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is $20-$25 per pound. This price may vary depending on the quality, origin, and brand.
- Grated Parmesan cheese that comes in a shaker container can cost anywhere between $3 and $8 per 8-ounce container.
- You can also find Parmesan cheese sold in blocks or wedges. These can range from $9 to $20 per pound depending on the factors mentioned above.
It's worth noting that some stores may offer cheaper prices than others. Shopping around for the best deals and comparing prices between different brands may help you save money.
In conclusion, the cost of Parmesan cheese varies depending on several factors such as quality, origin, brand, and quantity. While authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano can be quite expensive, there are cheaper alternatives available in the market. Regardless of the price, Parmesan cheese is an essential ingredient in many dishes that adds a unique flavor profile that cannot be replicated by any other type of cheese.

Nokia Drive 3.1 - Where does My Commute in Nokia Drive retrieve the traffic info from?
The traffic info for My Commute is collected from various sources:
 - Incident reports: Incidents range from jams on highways to planned construction works. These reports come often from local authorities such as the police or a local traffic management central. In many areas we have partnerships with the local authorities who will send the information to us.
 - Highway sensors: Many metropolitan areas have statically installed traffic flow sensors that measure the current average speeds on highways and major roads.
 - Crowd-sourcing: While the incident reports are very punctual and the installed sensors usually focused on major highways, we are also using the wisdom of the crowd to understand the traffic situation over the whole city. These are for example Nokia smartphones running Nokia Drive. People who are consuming traffic information can also improve the service by providing anonymous information about their current travel speed.
 - Historic information: The above information is archived and assumptions are made about the current speed on a street based on the historic information if there's not enough information from sensors or probes. Many streets in a city have a very regular pattern, e.g. the same traffic jam every morning but fast during night times.
 - Modelling: In many cases the traffic situation on the whole street network can be deducted from partial information. E.g. from a heavy jam on a highway one can often deduct the situation on the slip road entering the highway as well as the streets just before that.


The radiator cap actually increases the boiling point of your coolant by about 25 C. How does this simple cap do this? The same way a pressure cooker increases the boiling temperature of water. The cap is actually a pressure release valve, and on cars it is usually set to 15 psi. The boiling point of water increases when the water is placed under pressure.

Among its innovations, Object Matrix is showing its Process in Place (PiP) content-aware feature that aims to reduce the processing needed to index and access content.
In addition to demonstrating PiP, Object Matrix is launching its new management API software, which enables access to audit and monitoring information. It's also featuring Trashcan, which works like the trashcan on a PC, meaning that when content is accidentally deleted it can be stored on the system and recovered instead of being removed entirely.
Nicholas Pearce-Tomenius, sales and marketing director, Object Matrix, said: "We are noticing the rapid increasing of file sizes and the number of platforms for content provision. The constant changing of distribution methods means that it's more important than ever for broadcasters to be able to easily access their content and be sure that it won't be damaged or lost."

Godot facilita a criação de recursos personalizados no Inspetor.
 1. Crie um objeto de recurso simples no Inspetor. Isso pode até ser um tipo que deriva Resource, desde que seu script esteja estendendo esse tipo.
 2. Defina a propriedade '' script'' no Inspector como seu script.
O inspetor agora exibirá as propriedades personalizadas do script de recursos. Se você editar esses valores e salvar o recurso, o inspetor serializará as propriedades personalizadas também! Para salvar um recurso do Inspetor, clique no menu de ferramentas do Inspetor (canto superior direito) e selecione "Salvar" ou "Salvar como …".
If the script's language supports script classes, then it streamlines the process. Defining a name for your script alone will add it to the Inspector's creation dialog. This will auto-add your script to the Resource object you create.
Let's see some examples.

Scripts de recursos são semelhantes aos ScriptableObjects da Unity. O Inspector fornece suporte interno para recursos personalizados. Se desejado, os usuários podem até criar seus próprios scripts de ferramentas baseados em Control e combiná-los com um: ref: EditorPlugin <class_EditorPlugin> para criar visualizações e editores personalizados para seus dados.
O DataTables e o CurveTables do Unreal Engine 4 também são fáceis de recriar com scripts de recursos. DataTables são uma String mapeada para uma estrutura personalizada, semelhante a um dicionário que mapeia uma String para um script de recurso personalizado secundário.
# bot_stats_table.gd
extends Resource
const BotStats = preload("bot_stats.gd")
var data = {
 "GodotBot": BotStats.new(10), # Creates instance with 10 health.
 "DifferentBot": BotStats.new(20) # A different one with 20 health.
}
func _init():
 print(data)
using System;
using Godot;
public class BotStatsTable : Resource
{
 private Godot.Dictionary<String, BotStats> _stats = new Godot.Dictionary<String, BotStats>();
 public BotStatsTable()
 {
 _stats["GodotBot"] = new BotStats(10); // Creates instance with 10 health.
 _stats["DifferentBot"] = new BotStats(20); // A different one with 20 health.
 GD.Print(_stats);
 }
}
Em vez de apenas inlining os valores do dicionário, um poderia também, alternativamente …
 1. Importe uma tabela de valores de uma planilha e gere esses pares de valores-chave ou …
 2. Projete uma visualização no editor e crie um plug-in simples que a adicione ao Inspector ao abrir esses tipos de recursos.
CurveTables are the same thing, except mapped to an Array of float values or a Curve/Curve2D resource object.
Aviso
Esteja ciente de que os arquivos de recursos (*. Tres / *. Res) armazenarão o caminho do script que eles usam no arquivo. Quando carregados, eles buscarão e carregarão esse script como uma extensão do tipo. Isso significa que tentar atribuir uma subclasse, ou seja, uma classe interna de um script (como usar a palavra-chave '' class'' no GDScript) não funcionará. Godot não serializará as propriedades customizadas na subclasse do script adequadamente.
No exemplo abaixo, Godot carregaria o script '' Node'', veria que ele não estende '' Resource'' e determinará que o script falhou ao carregar o objeto Resource, pois os tipos são incompatíveis.
extends Node
class MyResource:
 extends Resource
 export var value = 5
func _ready():
 var my_res = MyResource.new()
 # This will NOT serialize the 'value' property.
 ResourceSaver.save("res://my_res.tres", my_res)
using Godot;
public class MyNode : Node
{
 public class MyResource : Resource
 {
 [Export]
 public int Value { get; set; } = 5;
 }
 public override void _Ready()
 {
 var res = new MyResource();
 // This will NOT serialize the 'Value' property.
 ResourceSaver.Save("res://MyRes.tres", res);

How well is your mainframe outsourcer managing capacity and performance?
Part 5: CPU based pricing models
This is the fifth in a series of blogs about how to follow up on your mainframe outsourcer. Previously I've discuss why it is important to follow up on your outsourcer, understanding MIPS and MSU, and the pitfalls of MIPS. In the last blog I discussed the outsourcer's cost structure. In this article I will dig further into the commercial aspects of CPU capacity. Specifically, we will look at how the monthly invoice for the customer is calculated from the technical measurements.
CPU based pricing from an outsourcer can be usage-based, capacity-based, or a combination of the two.
Usage based pricing
As discussed in the previous blog, IBM software is generally billed based on CPU usage, so it is natural for the outsourcer to ensure some level of back-to-back agreement with its customers by also charging based on CPU usage. Some variations on this theme that we have seen are:
– Monthly peak rolling four-hour average
– Absolute monthly peak
– Peak during working hours during the month
– Monthly percentile peak (e.g. 95th percentile where the highest 5% of the peaks are ignored)
– Total or average usage during the month (e.g. average MIPS or total CPU seconds)
– Bands (penalties for using too much or too little)
The units are generally MIPS or MSU. Note that while the outsourcer may be paying IBM for their peak usage and charging you for your peak usage, those peaks may be at different times.
The advantage of capacity-based pricing is predictability. You pay a fixed monthly fee for a fixed capacity, no matter how much you use. There are typically well-defined mechanisms in the agreement for adjusting that capacity on an ongoing basis. Example of this theme include:
– Reserved capacity, sometimes referred to as guaranteed capacity, based on the LPARS 'weight'
– Maximum capacity based on the LPARs configuration, e.g. number of logical CPU's
– Maximum capacity based on hard or soft capping
These elements can be combined in many ways. Here are some examples:
– CP capacity billed based on peak, but zIIP and IFL capacity billed based on number of logical CPU's
– CP and zIIP capacity based on the combined CP + zIIP peak – or based on the peaks for CP and the peaks for zIIP determined independently
– Peaks based on combining the usage of all LPARS or based on each LPAR independently
– Some software products billed based on usage and other software products based on capacity
We recommend the following best practices when deciding on a billing model:
- Work towards alignment of interests with your outsourcer. Think win-win by looking for ways you both can save money.
- Avoid complexity that doesn't add value.
- Ensure transparency through access to data and reporting.
- Understand your current and projected usage patterns when considering alternate billing models.
- Get independent advice from subject matter experts when evaluating your current situation or considering alternatives.
- Understand the relationship between cost and quality of service.
The relationship between cost and quality of service will be covered in more detail in another blog.

Blegoš, at 1563 m high, represents the highest peak of the Škofja Loka Hills. Here the upper border of the forest is extremely low, hardly reaching a height of 1500 m. Blegoš is well known for its fauna and flora.
A carpet of rhododendrons spreads above the forest, where in between clustered bunches of mountain knapweed grow, and mountain orchids thrive on the grassy turf. There are so many that Blegoš could be called the mountain of orchids. The concrete fortifications of the Rupnik line at the top of Blegoš date back to before the Second World War. At that time Blegoš was one of the major strongholds in the military system of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia against Italy.


How it works - Basic
~ Single Pinhole ~
Fundamental Law: Light travels in a straight line
A candle emitting light behaves in this way:
Tracing out some of the light rays illustrates this point
Adding a light tight box blocks light from entering box
If we add a small hole at the center, some light can enter
We can trace light reflecting off of the rest of the candle in the same way
And form an image of the candle upsided down at the back of the box
If we now add film at the back of the box, a cap at the hole to control when light enters the box and exposes the light sensitive film, we have a camera.
That's it. This is a basic pinhole camera and all that is needed to make images.
The rest is refinement to a specific end.


JetBrains Rider 2019.3 Help
Code Inspection: '?:' expression can be re-written as '??' expression
If you want to assign a value, pass an argument, or return from a method based on the nullability of an identifier, the clearest syntax you can use in these cases is the ?? (null-coalescing) operator.
Therefore, whenever JetBrains Rider encounters a conditional ?: (ternary) operator in the above-mentioned contexts, it suggests simplifying the expressions using the ?? operator.
Here is an example of a quick-fix suggested by this inspection:
Suboptimal code
After the quick-fix
void Foo(string input) { Console.WriteLine($"The input is {(input != null ? input : "empty")}"); }
void Foo(string input) { Console.WriteLine($"The input is {(input ?? "empty")}"); }
Speaking about performance of both operators, there is no observable difference. Actually, the ?? is even a tiny bit faster.

A number of schools in Scotland is looking to spread the word of cheap energy bills by becoming the first in the country to test out new energy meters.
The meters are designed to show exactly how much gas, water and electricity each school is using and as well as helping deliver cheap energy bills, teachers are hoping they can be used to demonstrate to pupils how to cut energy bills in general.
Kenmore, Longforgan, Stanley and the Royal School of Dunkeld primary schools in Perthshire have become the first in the country to pilot the devices, which have been created by eco energy technology company Ewgeco.
Anne Burrell, head of Kenmore primary school said the arrival of the new devices would not only help to cut the school's energy bills, but could also be used to promote energy efficiency among the children, as well as getting them interested in environmentally-friendly businesses.
"It has given the children an insight into the world of enterprise and innovation as they have followed the design process throughout the past year," she explained.
Earlier this month, it was reported that a school in Cornwall had installed a wind turbine in its grounds, in a move that could help it pursue cheap energy rates.

text: We consider binary spatially coupled (SC) low density measurement matrices for low complexity reconstruction of sparse signals via the interval passing algorithm (IPA). The IPA is known to fail due to the presence of harmful sub-structures in the Tanner graph of a binary sparse measurement matrix, so called termatiko sets. In this work we construct array-based (AB) SC sparse measurement matrices via algebraic lifts of graphs, such that the number of termatiko sets in the Tanner graph is minimized. To this end, we show for the column-weight-three case that the most critical termatiko sets can be removed by eliminating all length-12 cycles associated with the Tanner graph, via algebraic lifting. As a consequence, IPA-based reconstruction with SC measurement matrices is able to provide an almost error free reconstruction for significantly denser signal vectors compared to uncoupled AB LDPC measurement matrices.

There is a post on Jezebel talking about how "age is never just a number." Wait for it….
17! 42. 83. 1/2. 2 months. 2 month old baby. -4. -4 month old baby. Invisible number (like a Ghost, like Casper). 969 LIKE METHUSELAH. 5,000 like a lady vampire in an Anne Rice novel. Those were numbers. Those are all just numbers. They are ages with numbers attached.
However. Sometimes age is not a number. Not never, but sometimes.
Here are some times when age is not a number.
The Age of Innocence
The Age of Reason
The Age of Corrupt Irrationality (_PHONE_, approximately. Or whenever Bret Easton Ellis was writing).
The Bronze Age
The Iron Age
The Golden Age
The iPhone Age
The Dark Ages
The Age Of Light
The Space Age
The Age of Anxiety
Age of Aquarius
Age of Empires
Age of Empires 3
Age of Empires 2 sucked.
Age of War
Age of not war?
Age of Exploration (also known at the age of discovery)
The Age Where Witches Made You Do Stuff (all fairy tales, many Shakespearean plays)
The incredibly specific age of your lover, who is older than you, and this is a thing you are grappling with in a vague sort of way.
So there you go. None of them numbers.

Call-second
In telecommunication, a call-second is a unit used to measure communications traffic.
Note 1: A call-second is equivalent to 1 call 1 second long.
Note 2: One user making two 75-second calls is equivalent to two users each making one 75-second call. Each case produces 150 call-seconds of traffic.
Note 3: The CCS, equivalent to 100 call-seconds, is often used.
Note 4: 3600 call-seconds = 36 CCS = 1 call-hour.
Note 5: 3600 call-seconds per hour = 36 CCS per hour = 1 call-hour per hour = 1 erlang = 1 traffic unit.

How do I determine transfection efficiency using a flow cytometer?
Posted February 19, 2020
Using flow cytometry, determining the success of a particular transfection procedure is quite simple:
- Use an untransfected control and subtract the baseline intensity data from your experimental results
- Signal intensity graphs are a simple visual aid to compare the response of the cell line to different transfection reagents
Manual analysis is likely unnecessary; most instruments have software with FACS analysis programs for quick results.

We Have Introduced Confocal Fiber Displacement Sensor ZW.
Displacement Sensors are indispensable in non-contact measurement of heights, thicknesses, and other dimensions in machine operation control. However, building them into the system has always presented problems. The Confocal Fiber Displacement Sensor ZW Series solves these problems in ways that were not possible with traditional triangulation.
The ZW-series Sensors provide the compact size, light weight, immunity to electrical/magnetic noise, and other features to make them ideal for solving installation space problems. And OMRON's new confocal principle provides the measurement resolution that is needed for operation control. The ZW Series solves the problems that came with laser triangulation, such as deviations between different materials and inclination tolerance.
