Routing a Synchronization Clock Along a Trigger Line
Last Modified: September 15, 2017
You can route full-speed or divided synchronization clocks through trigger lines using NI-Sync. With this technique, you can export a DDS clock using a PFI line and send full-speed or divided clocks along routes that are not accessible when you use clock terminals alone.
Setting and Dividing a Synchronization Clock
 1. Place Connect Trigger Terminals on the diagram.
 2. Wire a constant or control to source terminal and destination terminal.
 3. Select Synchronization Clock (Divided 2) for source terminal. This divides the synchronization clock by the value you set in the Clock Divisor 2 property of niSync Properties and uses the result as the source for this trigger. You can also select Synchronization Clock (Divided 1) or Synchronization Clock (Full Speed).
 4. Select a destination terminal for Connect Trigger Terminals:
 Routing a clock signal through a PXI_Trig line is not recommended. due to poor clock signal integrity caused by the topology of the PXI_Trig lines. Use PXI_Star, PXIe_DStar, or PFI lines instead.
 - Select a PXI_Star line to route the specified clock through the backplane trigger lines of the chassis.
 - Select a front panel terminal (PFI, PFI_LVDS) to route the specified clock through the front zone of the chassis to another PXI chassis, a physically connected module in the same chassis, or an external device.
 - Select PXIe_DStarB to route the specified clock from a system timing module to a peripheral slot.
 - Select PXIe_DStarC to route the specified clock from a peripheral slot to a system timing module.
 5. Place Disconnect Trigger Terminals on the diagram to free the trigger lines for other applications.
 6. Place Close on the diagram to end the NI-Sync session. The synchronization clock you set using niSync Properties is routed to a different location in the chassis using a trigger line.

REFLECTIVE LATTICE STRIPS
Reflective strips can be divided into the reflective webbing, reflective lattice strips, reflective fabrics, which are widely used in reflective vests, reflective overalls, labor insurance garments, bags, shoes, umbrellas, raincoats, etc.
Reflective crystal lattice also known as reflective lattice strip is processed by reflective lattice sheet indentation. It has various specifications, stripes, and colors. When the light is directed to the reflective lattice strip, it will produce good reflection effect and improve nighttime visibility which can play a good warning role.
Reflective crystal lattice strips are mainly used as clothing accessories or jewelry materials and are widely used in traffic management, fire protection, sanitation, urban management, road rescue, road maintenance, etc., which are required to engage in field activities and nighttime workers' protective equipment. Apply to professional clothing, casual wear, sportswear, fashion, hats, gloves, backpacks, etc., can also produce all kinds of reflective products, jewelry.
Pressing pattern: W shape, diamond shape, etc.
Width: Conventional is 2.5cm, 5cm. Can be customized according to customer requirements, printing logo.
Regular color: fluorescent white, fluorescent yellow, orange, red or other colors required by the guest.
Features: Cold resistance: minus -30 degrees, extremely cold-resistant, no cracking at very low temperatures, maintaining flexibility
1. The reflective crystal lattice is mainly divided into two kinds of crystal lattices. One is a lattice belt.
Reflective crystal lattice (also known as the reflective sheet, mainly made of PVC plastic dissolved by special machine cooling, the reflective sheet and also
There are many different patterns of trademarks that can be made by the high-frequency mechanism. There are 24 common colors for reflective PVC tapes.
Reflective lattice strip (also known as lattice strip, mainly made of reflective sheet and PVC glass composite with the high-frequency machine)
2. The hardness of the reflective sheet is also normal:
Soft reflective sheets, also known as the cold resistant reflective sheet, are used in winter and cold regions, such as Russia, the Arctic, the Antarctic, and the winter in northern China.
Normal temperature, which is the current weather, is also commonly used, not soft or hard, suitable for Southeast Asia, summer springs in other places
Hard reflective sheets, also known as heat-resistant sheets, are used in some areas in summer.
So when the order is coming, we always asked what season they use.
3. The reflective lattice belt is mainly used in:
Clothing: police, traffic police, security, sanitation, petrol stations, miners, docks, and other work uniforms, etc.
Luggage: trolley case, shoulder bag, backpack, (now schoolbags for primary and secondary school students) and tool bags, tools Package, etc.
Shoes and hats: casual shoes, sports shoes, casual hats, work hats, hats worn by sanitation municipal personnel, etc.
Other: accessories, pet clothes, etc.

text: Autonomous tugs may play an important role in future ports, due to the shortage of qualified mariners. A digital twin (mathematical model incorporating a vessel's hydrodynamic behavior and response, suitable for real-time control) would be needed for autonomous operations. Yet, partly because tugs are generally high-powered and very maneuverable compared to conventional vessels, there is little published data on the hydrodynamic performance of such vessels. As a first step in the development of the tug's digital twin, the present work studies the maneuvering and seakeeping performance of a generic tug at model scale. Numerical simulations are performed for an approximately 1:10 scale model for standard resistance, static and dynamic captive and seakeeping cases. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) k-ω model is employed for the simulations including the free surface through the Volume of Fluid approach. The hydrodynamic forces and moments on the tug model in the simulations of the standard resistance and the static and dynamic captive cases, as well as the tug model's motions and the added resistance in headseas, are investigated. The simulation results provide data to build a mathematical maneuvering model for the tug based on 4-DoF MMG manoeuvring model, which serves as the digital twin in this case.

The connection between organizational incentive theory and sustainable construction : A qualitative study on how businesses in the construction industry are incentivized with respect to sustainability in Norway
MetadataShow full item record
- Master Thesis
This master thesis aims to identify the main drivers and barriers to incentivize sustainable practices in the construction industry in Norway. In order to do this the thesis presents five research questions than culminates in a five-step model that aims to identifies the stances and attitudes in the industry in regard to sustainability, the internal and external incentives, how these are weighed and lastly, with this knowledge, how to effectively incentivize towards sustainability. In order to obtain the answers to the research questions, we conducted a semistructured interview followed by a questionnaire with ten respondents from medium to large organizations in the construction industry in line with grounded theory. By categorizing incentives internally and externally, we have found customer demand- and purchasing power, interpretation of national and international rules and legislation, implementation of system thinking, information flow between market participants, alignment of incentives, increased competitiveness, influence of top management and organizational culture considerations to some of the most pressing incentive schemes. These results are interesting and a good pointer towards effective measures of increasing degree of focus on sustainability in the construction industry. However, future research is necessary in order to confidently conclude and statistically prove our findings. This thesis contributes to a way to better understand why organizations chooses sustainable solutions, to identify the incentives that affect sustainable decision making, and how to use this information effectively.

Executing and Running Applications and Files from Delphi Code
Executing and Running Applications and Files from Delphi Code
How many times have you wanted to execute some program from your Delphi application?
Let's say we have a database application that uses some external backup utility. The back up utility takes parameters from your application, archives data, while your program waits until backup finishes.
On the other hand, have you ever needed to open documents presented in a file listbox, just by double clicking on them, without opening the associated program first?
Finally, imagine a link-label in your program that will take the user to your home page (by executing the Internet Explorer). Moreover, what do you say about sending an e-mail directly from your Delphi application through default Windows e-mail client program (like MS Outlook Express).
ShellExecute
To launch an application or execute a file in Win32 environment we will use the ShellExecute Windows API function.
Check out the help on ShellExecute for full description of parameters and error codes returned.
As you will see we can open any type of document from our program without knowing which program is associated with it (this link is defined in the Windows Registry).
Let's see some shell action!
Be sure to add ShellApi to your Unit's uses clause.
Run Notepad
uses ShellApi;
...
ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'c:\Windows\notepad.exe', nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
Open SomeText.txt with Notepad
ShellExecute(Handle,'open', 'c:\windows\notepad.exe','c:\SomeText.txt', nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
Display the contents of the "DelphiDownload" folder
ShellExecute(Handle,'open', 'c:\DelphiDownload', nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
Execute a file according to its extension.
ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', 'c:\MyDocuments\Letter.doc',nil,nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
Open web site or a *.htm file with the default web explorer
ShellExecute(Handle, 'open', '_URL_',nil,nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
Send an e-mail with the subject and the message body
var em_subject, em_body, em_mail : string;
begin
em_subject := 'This is the subject line';
em_body := 'Message body text goes here';
em_mail := '_EMAIL_?subject=' +
em_subject + '&body=' + em_body ;
ShellExecute(Handle,'open',
PChar(em_mail), nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) ;
end;
Execute a program and wait until it has finished. The following example uses the ShellExecuteEx API function.
// Execute the Windows Calculator and pop up
// a message when the Calc is terminated.
uses ShellApi;
...
var
SEInfo: TShellExecuteInfo;
ExitCode: DWORD;
ExecuteFile, ParamString, StartInString: string;
begin
ExecuteFile:='c:\Windows\Calc.exe';
FillChar(SEInfo, SizeOf(SEInfo), 0) ;
SEInfo.cbSize := SizeOf(TShellExecuteInfo) ;
with SEInfo do begin
fMask := SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
Wnd := Application.Handle;
lpFile := PChar(ExecuteFile) ;
{
ParamString can contain the
application parameters.
}
// lpParameters := PChar(ParamString) ;
{
StartInString specifies the
name of the working directory.
If ommited, the current directory is used.
}
// lpDirectory := PChar(StartInString) ;
nShow := SW_SHOWNORMAL;
end;
if ShellExecuteEx(@SEInfo) then begin
repeat
Application.ProcessMessages;
GetExitCodeProcess(SEInfo.hProcess, ExitCode) ;
until (ExitCode <> STILL_ACTIVE) or
Application.Terminated;
ShowMessage('Calculator terminated') ;
end
else ShowMessage('Error starting Calc!') ;
end;

Simulation of person flows
ifp consulting simulates person flows on the factory premises of a pharmaceutical group
In the context of the development of a holistical logistics concept for a pharmaceutical group in Switzerland the different person flows are being simulated and analysed.
The simulation's purpose consists of the permanent guarantee of a sufficient level of security for the staff during the different construction phases as well as for the future factory layout. For that purpose all traffic participants are being considered, areas of intensive pedestrian traffic are being identified and appropriate actions are being initiated.
The following focuses are being worked on:
Identification and preparation of all person flow data
Modelling of the relevant scenarios
Analysis of the pedestrian traffic peaks on the factory premises
Realization of the simulation runs with the software SimWalk
Visualization of the different person traffic intensities in heat maps with following analysis
Deduction of suitable actions
Development of a future concept for the implementation of the actions


Section Access: Circular References Are (Maybe) OK!
I want to share an accidental discovery that will likely change the way you implement QlikView Section Access forever—it certainly did for us and our clients!
There is a simple principle in QlikView that even novice developers know: circular references are to be avoided like the black plague. Because of QlikView's unique associative data model architecture, circular references are strictly forbidden. In fact, QlikView itself will break any circular references it finds by turning one or more table links into "loosely coupled" links.

A circular reference occurs whenever it is possible to get from one table in the data model to another through more than one path. In the picture above, for example, you can get from Budget to Orders either directly (using ProductID as a key field) or through Customers. This results in a "circular" reference (and the word circular is also an apt description, since you can see that a "circle" is formed with the table links).

The important discovery that I want to share in this article is that circular references in QlikView are not a problem when Section Access tables are involved! Suppose you have a structure as follows, where the Section Access table is indicated by the dotted border. This is a pretty common Section Access use case, where a user has access to one or more geographic regions:

Now suppose that you also want to add a restriction on the user to allow him to see only online sales (as indicated by the #ONLINESALEFLAG in the Fact table). Many developers would, when faced with this problem, created a composite-key link between the FACT and GEOGRAPHY tables. And, indeed, this is generally considered a perfectly acceptable solution to this problem. The composite key would use both TerritoryID and #ONLINESALEFLAG, and might looks something like: "TERRITORY1|ONLINE". The GEOGRAPHY dimension would then double in size to create a match for all the #ONLINESALEFLAG permutations, and the section access table would link to a REGIONID/#ONLINESALEFLAG composite.

Imagine trying to implement something like that if you have more than 2 possible values, however! Suppose #ONLINESALEFLAG had 5 possible values; restricting your data model to a single table would quickly cause the size of that table to spiral out of control. Fortunately, you may not have to! As it turns out, the following data structure often works just fine:

For whatever reason, QlikView does not have a problem with circular references caused by section access tables (where the section access tables complete the "circle"). This, clearly, opens up a world of possibility when designing your data model for security. Essentially, you might now have total freedom to structure your section access to dynamically restrict users to any numbers of fields in your data model, even if those fields are in different tables!

Update, based on valuable input from the legendary Henric Cronström (see below): Use caution when implementing this technique with multiple fields. QlikView actually will loosely couple the section access tables behind the scenes, it will just not warn you that that is what it is doing. As a result of loose coupling, you cannot specify "AND" logic for multiple field reductions for those fields affected by the loose coupling. So, in my example above, you cannot grant a user access to Online-only sales for Region1 and Non-Online-Only sales for Region2. Rather, the result will be that the user will have access to (Online or Non-Online) and (Region1 or Region). The distinct values of each field will be evaluated separately, rather than together. This may be the result that you want, but it is not likely. The solution described in this article is, therefore, not likely a good fit if a user has more than a single record in the section access tables.

Note also that, for best performance and to ensure predictable results, synthetic keys still be avoided. Meaning, a section access table should not link to 2 fields within the same table. Note also that this example demonstrates a side lesson as well—that section access tables can be linked just like regular (i.e. section application) QlikView tables. In this case, we have 2 section access tables that are linked on the field NTNAME. This field will, in turn, be automatically linked by the system to the logged-on username of QlikView users.

 Very neat Vlad! I'll try this out for sure.
 I'm guessing we can add more than one column in the second Section Access table alongwith the #ONLINESALEFLAG. Say there's a ProductLine that needs Section Access as well. Then PRODUCTID could be added on to this table as well. Will have to check with some data how multiple Section Access columns get resolved.
 2. Jasleen, you can definitely add more than one column. However, as I mentioned in the article, watch out for synthetic keys. Those are problematic even in Section Access. I ran an experiment and found that adding synthetic keys significantly slowed down application opening time. Of course, each app is different, but keep this in mind.

 Vlad
 3. HIC says:
 Be careful here… Yes it will work, but it will not always do what you want. An example: If you have a user that is allowed to see product X in Germany and product Y in France, you might create an authorization table like
 User Product Country
 A X DE
 A Y FR
 This will reduce data, but not the way you want it to. You want to see transactions fulfilling
 (Product='X' AND Country='DE') OR (Product='Y' AND Country='FR')
 but you will get
 (Product='X' OR Product='Y') AND (Country='DE' OR Country='FR')
 HIC
 4. Thanks for that correction. On further testing, it turns out that QlikView DOES loosely couple the section access tables behind the scenes, it just doesn't warn you that that's what it is doing! Interesting, since you will get notified about synthetic keys caused by section access, so I'm not sure why it won't warn you for a circular reference. For the scenario that I tested at my own clients, this wasn't a problem. But your advice to use this cautiously is absolutely correct.
 Regards,
 Vlad
 5. Henric, I've just updated the article to reflect your cautionary advice. Thanks again!
 Vlad
 6. HIC says:
 It is really not loosely coupled either. It is rather that QlikView makes "implicit selections" before it opens the document – it first makes a selection in the first field (e.g. Product is X or Y) and then in the second field (e.g. Country is DE or FR). Finally it reduces the data before it displays the app to the user.
 So it is in fact "loyal" to the selection principles used in normal situations: OR between values within a field, and AND between different fields.
 HIC
 7. Vlad Gutkovsky says:
 Henric, I ran a test where I loaded the section access table as a regular section application table (so it became loosely coupled), and it behaved the same as you are describing. So maybe that's what loosely coupling does? I've uploaded the example here: _URL_

 Vlad

 Hi Vlad
 I have a strict requirement with my application for row level access for set of users.
 A user will have a set of records(recordid) he has access to on Table A & Table B and the second user has access to same or different set of records on Table A, B & C.
 In my application i might have as much as 10+ contatenated into fact table and another 5-8 dimension tables.
 I am trying to cover the security to be implemented @ every row on every table.
 When i implement the section access there are a lot of synthetic keys & circular references.
 Any inputs/ideas on handling this situation.
 Appreciate any guidance
 Thanks
 aravind
 9. Aravind,
 I'm not sure how Tables A – C are connected in your data model, so my answer will need to be somewhat general. First, if a particular user does not have a reduction value on a particular field, it's perfectly acceptable to leave it null. A null value in Section Access will mean that the user won't have reductions on that field at all (as opposed to a '*', which does something else).
 Second, as mentioned above regarding synthetic keys, I would suggest that you avoid these in Section Access. My testing has shown that they work, but significantly hurt performance. If you truly need to reduce on 2 fields in the same table, concatenate those fields together and use the single field as a reduction field.
 Third, regarding circular references, that is what this entire article is about, so can you be more specific?
 Regards,
 Vlad

The Invention Of A Handheld Electric Mixer
1889 Words8 Pages
In the beginning of time mixers were not electrical like they are now a days really easy for people to use. The egg beaters were hand cranked, Hand cranks don't require electricity, there is a handle you hold it with and a little knob that you twist so it could mix the ingredients together. In 1856, a Maryland Tinner named Ralph Collier was the man who invented hand cranked egg beaters. The hand cranked egg beaters were used by hand nothing electrical in them, but a more years went by people started inventing so much more mixers and they were electrical of different kind. A handheld electric mixer is basically an electrical mixer that has a handle and someone holds it while the mixer is mixing the eggs and other things. Mixers are of course something used in the kitchen and only the kitchen. People or chiefs use it for baking because it makes the dough in a better smoother texture than if it was hand mixed. A classical American mixer brand is Dover stamping company, the company bought the patent egg beaters in 1859. An American man named Rufus Eastman invented the first mixer which was in 1885. The first man to invent electric mixer was named Herbert Johnson that was in 1908. His whole idea started from basically watching television, there was a baker who was making dough with a spoon that is how his idea was formed. There were electrical mixers before but they were hand mixers that used electricity. The electric mixes he made were mostly for bakers with experience and

How to Assemble Office Chair in 6 Steps
Last Updated on by Artem
Fortunately, there is no rocket science involved, however, if you still need some pointers on how to assemble office chair, you are in the right place.
In this short guide I go over everything you need in order to put it together as fast as possible. So if you got yourself a chair from our list, let's get right to its assembly!
Office Chair Assembly in 6 Steps
For the sake of this guide we are going to use assembly instructions for an office chair sold by Posturion.
Here is what you get in the box once you open it up.
The cool part is that everything you need for assembly is included with the chair itself.
Now we are ready to piece everything together! You will find all the steps right below but here is a video if you prefer that.
Step 1: Insert The Legs Into The Base
Turn the chair's base (14) upside down, and then insert the legs (6), one by one, into the base. You don't need to put much pressure to do that.
Next, screw ten bolts (13) into the pre-drilled holes with the wrench (15) to attach the base and the legs. Again, make sure the bolts are screwed in tightly but don't apply too much effort.
Step 2: Install The Casters and The Gas Lift
This is easy. Press the casters (7) into the holes at the end of each base leg one by one.
Then insert the gas lift (5) to the base. Follow the instructions and make sure the gas lift is positioned vertically on the base of the chair.
Step 3: Assemble The Armrests
Amrests are essential for maintaining a good sitting posture. Time to attach them to the chair!
Now you need to turn the Seat (2) upside down and align three holes on one of the Armrests (3) with the pre-drilled holes under the Seat.
Attach the Armrest to the Seat with three Bolts (10) using the Wrench (15). Repeat on the other side of armrest.
Move one to the next step once you get this done.
Step 4: Attach The Mechanism
Time to add the office chair height mechanism to the base of your office chair.
Align the mechanism (4) over the pre-drilled holes underneath the Seat (2), make sure the front of the mechanism is facing the front of the Seat. Attach the office chair mechanism to the Seat with four Bolts (8), and tighten all bolts with the Wrench (15).
*Follow the instructions and be extra cautious as mis-threading the bolts will damage the chair!
Step 5: Add The Headrest
Time to give this office chair a headrest!
To do it, turn the Back (1) upright and attach the seat while aligning three holes of the Mechanism (4). Attach three Bolts (9) with the Wrench.
Step 6: Put Office Chair Parts Together
Finally! It's time to assemble the chair by putting the base together with the upper part.
Here are the instructions.
Align the hole at bottom of the seat with the Gas Lift, put the body of the chair on the Gas Lift. Fix the Headrest (11) on top of the chair by attaching two Bolts (12).
Can't assemble your office chair? Here are 2 of the most common reasons for the assembly process to go wrong.
Reason 1: You Got Lost
Office furniture instructions, at times, look almost like rocket launcher drawings. They can be confusing and…that's all right.
If you feel like you got lost, here is what you need to do.
First, take a short break. Seriously, let it go for 5-10 minutes! Your brain will be ready for the challenge after taking a breather.
Second, start over. Yes, starting all over again seems like a time-consuming process but…it's a standard operating procedure that you need to go through in order to accomplish the office chair assembly business you are pursuing so vigorously. This step will also help you to make sure you have done everything right and followed the instructions. It will also help you to catch any mistakes you might have done accidentally (e.g. using a bolt for the wrong part).
The majority of issues tend to resolve themselves after you look at the instructions with fresh eye.
Now, what if you are still unable to put the chair together?
Reason 2: Missing Parts
Infrequently manufacturers ship chair boxes with certain parts missing. This is why it's important you check that the package includes everything you need to put the chair together. You should compare everything you see in the box to the list printed inside the manual that comes with the chair.
Here is the one from the chair sold by Posturion.
In case you discover that parts are missing, feel free to reach out to the vendor for them to send the bits you need. Usually there is no problem with that.

TN020: ID Naming and Numbering Conventions
This note describes the ID naming and numbering conventions that MFC 2.0 uses for resources, commands, strings, controls, and child windows.
The MFC ID naming and numbering conventions are intended to meet the following requirements:
 - Provide a consistent ID-naming standard used across the MFC library and MFC applications that are supported by the Visual C++ resource editor. This makes it easier for the programmer to interpret the type and origin of a resource from its ID.
 - Emphasize the strong 1-to-1 relationship between certain types of IDs.
 - Conform to already widely used standards for naming IDs in Windows.
 - Partition the ID-numbering space. ID numbers can be assigned by the programmer, MFC, Windows, and Visual C++-edited resources. Appropriate partitioning will help avoid duplication of ID numbers.
Several types of IDs can occur in an application. The MFC ID-naming convention defines different prefixes for different resource types.
MFC uses the prefix "IDR_" to indicate a resource ID that applies to multiple resource types. For example, for a given frame window, MFC uses the same "IDR_" prefix to indicate a menu, accelerator, string and icon resource. The following table shows the various prefixes and their usage:
For multiple resource types (primarily used for menus and accelerators).
For dialog template resources (for example, IDD_DIALOG1).
For cursor resources.
For icon resources.
For bitmap resources.
For string resources.
Within a DIALOG resource, MFC follows these conventions:
Prefix or label
For standard push button IDs.
For other dialog controls.
The "IDC_" prefix is also used for cursors. This naming conflict is not usually a problem because a typical application will have few cursors and many dialog controls.
Within a menu resource, MFC follows these conventions:
For menu items that do not use the MFC command architecture.
For menu commands that use the MFC command architecture.
Commands that follow the MFC command architecture must have an ON_COMMAND command handler and can have an ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI handler. If these command handlers follow the MFC command architecture, they will function correctly whether they are bound to a menu command, a toolbar button, or a dialog bar button. The same "ID_" prefix is also used for a menu prompt string that is displayed on the program's message bar. Most of the menu items in your application should follow the MFC command conventions. All of the standard command IDs (for example, ID_FILE_NEW) follow this convention.
MFC also uses "IDP_" as a specialized form of strings (instead of "IDS_"). Strings with the "IDP_" prefix are prompts, that is, strings used in message boxes. "IDP_" strings can contain "%1" and "%2" as placeholders of strings determined by the program. "IDP_" strings usually have help topics associated with them, and "IDS_" strings do not. "IDP_" strings are always localized, and "IDS_" strings might not be localized.
The MFC library also uses the "IDW_" prefix as a specialized form of control IDs (instead of "IDC_"). These IDs are assigned to child windows such as views and splitters by the framework classes. MFC implementation IDs are prefixed with "AFX_".
The following table lists the valid ranges for the IDs of the specific types. Some of the limits are technical implementation limits, and others are conventions that are designed to prevent your IDs from colliding with Windows predefined IDs or MFC default implementations.
We strongly recommend that you define all IDs inside the recommended ranges. The lower limit of these ranges is 1 because 0 is not used. We recommend that you use the common convention and use 100 or 101 as the first ID.
Resource type
Valid range
1 through 0x6FFF
dialog templates
1 through 0x6FFF
cursors, icons, bitmaps
1 through 0x6FFF
general strings
1 through 0x7FFF
0x8000 through 0xDFFF
8 through 0xDFFF
Reasons for these range limits:
 - By convention, the ID value of 0 is not used.
 - Windows implementation limitations restrict true resource IDs to be less than or equal to 0x7FFF.
 - MFC's internal framework reserve ranges 0x7000 through 0x7FFF (see afxres.h) and 0xE000 through 0xEFFF (see afxres.h). Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack and later also reserves the range 16000 through 18000 (see afxribbonres.h). These ranges may change in future MFC implementations.
 - Several Windows system commands use the range of 0xF000 through 0xFFFF.
 - Control IDs of 1 through 7 are reserved for standard controls such as IDOK and IDCANCEL.
 - The range of 0x8000 through 0xFFFF for strings is reserved for menu prompts for commands.

You can use RemoveNodes to remove one or more nodes that should no longer participate in the cluster.
Before removing a node, you must remove all drives the node contains using the RemoveDrives method. You cannot remove a node until the RemoveDrives process has completed and all data has been migrated away from the node. After you remove a node, it registers itself as a pending node. You can add the node again or shut it down (shutting the node down removes it from the pending node list).
Cluster master node removal
If you use RemoveNodes to remove the cluster master node, the method might time out before returning a response. If the method call fails to remove the node, make the method call again. Note that if you are removing the cluster master node along with other nodes, you should use a separate call to remove the cluster master node by itself.
This method has the following input parameter:
Name Description Type Default value Required
nodes List of NodeIDs for the nodes to be removed. integer array None Yes
Return value
This method has no return value.
Request example
Requests for this method are similar to the following example:
 "method": "RemoveNodes",
 "params": {
 "nodes" : [3,4,5]
 "id" : 1
Response example
This method returns a response similar to the following example:
 "id" : 1
 "result" : {},

Manufacturer ID Number
DCCWiki, a community DCC encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
Summary: The Manufacturer ID is a predetermined value programmed into the decoder at the point of manufacture which identifies who made the decoder. It only identifies a manufacturer, not the type of decoder.
NMRA Manufacturer ID Numbers
As part of the NMRA DCC specifications, each manufacturer is assigned a number, or Manufacturer ID. This identifies the decoder's manufacturer. The same way your car's VIN has codes to identify the manufacturer/country, which are assigned by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
This info is stored in CV (Configuration Variable) #8. The manufacturer may store a version number in CV #7.
That number is burned into the programming of the decoder during manufacture, and is used to identify who made a decoder. Often, DCC equipped locomotives don't identify the OEM multifunction decoder supplier in their instructions, so this is a way to determine what was installed. Additional steps may be required to further identify the type and model of the decoder, using the manufacturer's instructions.
The complete list can be found at the NMRA site, DCC Manufacturers ID Numbers. The NMRA list would be the most up to date reference on manufacturer ID numbers.
For example, number 11 is NCE, and 141 means Throttle-Up! (also known as Soundtraxx.) Public Domain/Do-it-Yourself decoders will report back 13.
JMRI
DP-UnknownDecoder.png
NMRA Manufacturer ID: 18
Unknown Decoder under JMRI
If a decoder reports as a Massooth Elektronik GmbH (and it is not), the answer is that JMRI's Preferences/Defaults has the "Programmer" set to "Internal" or a Simulator connection (in Preferences->Connections).
Internal or Simulator connections always return 123 for every CV read.
Decoder Identification
The JMRI team has put together a comprehensive listing of Decoder Identifications by Manufacturer or OEM
Decoder ID Page at JMRI
NMRA Manufacturer ID list S-9.2.2 Appendix A: Manufacturer ID codes as assigned by the NMRA
Soundtraxx Decoder Identification
If the decoder is a known Soundtraxx product, see the SoundTraxx Product Identification guide.
This guide covers the older Tsunami products, newer ones may be more difficult. For more information read the Soundtraxx article.
ESU
Identifying an ESU multifunction decoder can be a very involved process. It is much more efficient to use DecoderPro or ESU's LokProgrammer, as they will deliver an accurate report in seconds. ESU has a large number of variations meaning that determining the decoder model can be a long and complex process to manually go through.
Always use the latest versions of the software to get the most up to date decoder definitions.

Sunday Times Brain Teaser 777 – Feeler Gauges
by L Poulter
I have half-a-dozen feeler gauges on a ring like keys on a key ring. They are attached in a certain order and by selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges it is possible to measure from 1 to 31 thousandths of an inch (thou) inclusive in steps of 1 thou. If I remove two adjacent gauges, replace them with a single gauge and rearrange the five on the ring I can now measure from 1 to 21 thou inclusive in steps of 1 thou with these five gauges by again selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges.
What are the thicknesses of the gauges and the order of arrangement on the ring in each case? (start with gauge of unit thickness and then its thinner neighbour for the sets).

Sounds redundant to me. I'd put a period after "consecutively". Alternatively, you might try "in chronological order".
share|improve this answer
'In chronological order' does not mean the same as consecutively. A series of events can occur in chronological order, without being consecutive. – Dancrumb Apr 6 '11 at 16:05
_USER_: If a series of events are consecutive then they are also chronological, no? So, consecutive would be a more restrictive term than chronological? – MrHen Apr 6 '11 at 17:10
"Consecutively" implies some higher density; an ordering without gaps. The numbers [1, 2, 5] are not consecutive, but are in order. If I read that a list of samples were consecutive, I would assume that the list presented is all samples at some maximum sampling precision. (Either way, it is grammatical.) – user2400 Apr 6 '11 at 19:12
_USER_: Yes; I just wanted to make the point that 'consecutively' and 'in chronological order' are not equivalent, in case Jal is not a native speaker. – Dancrumb Apr 6 '11 at 21:38
I cannot definitively say that consecutively in time is incorrect, but the phrasing is awkward, at best. I would suggest the good old simple expression, one after other. More formally, you could also say, in succession:
 - The samples from the buffer are known to have been captured one after the other.
 - The samples from the buffer are known to have been captured in succession.
share|improve this answer
I think consecutively should suffice; it's as if the 'in time' is an inelegant hint as to what consecutively actually means, to those who aren't sure.
share|improve this answer
I think you could easily use the word, "sequentially."
From dictionary.com
se·quen·tial [si-kwen-shuhl]
1. characterized by regular sequence of parts.
2. following; subsequent; consequent.
share|improve this answer
Well, it could be used to make a distinction if the word were also serving other meanings:
con·sec·u·tive (kn-sky-tv) adj.
 1. Following one after another without interruption; successive: was absent on three consecutive days; won five consecutive games on the road.
 2. Marked by logical sequence.
 3. Grammar Expressing consequence or result: a consecutive clause.
From theFreeOnlineDictionary
If you had just used the word in its logical or grammatical sense, you might add "in time" if you then wanted to be clear about which version a chronological statement was serving.
share|improve this answer
Unless you are able to break a fundamental law of physics, consecutively in time is redundant.
If this is a technical report and you're discussing buffers, then your audience should/will probably understand FIFO.
A queue is FIFO, a stack is LIFO.

How to Find Underground Water Pipes
Hunker may earn compensation through affiliate links in this story.
If you're planning on digging up your yard for any reason, you're going to want to know where your water pipes are. Performing any kind of construction without this knowledge runs the risk of damaging the pipes, which can flood your yard or your entire home and end up costing a lot of money. You can find underground water pipes in your front or back yard in a very specific way.
Step 1
Purchase a pipe locator device that is capable of finding both metal and plastic pipes. Depending on exactly where you're looking for your underground water pipes, as well as the area in which you live, they could potentially be made of either type of material. For the most accurate reading possible, you need a locator device capable of finding plastic and metal.
Step 2
Set up your pipe locator as directed. How you do this will depend on what type of locator you own. For example, certain pipe locators make a noise (typically with headphones) when a pipe is found. Others display an indication that you're standing above a pipe on a built-in screen.
Step 3
Walk through your yard, aiming the sensor on the pipe locator at the ground as you walk. Your pipe locator will indicate (either visually or audibly) when you're standing above an underground water pipe. You can then mark the position of the pipe according to your own preferences.

The following briefly outlines what it means to be a small business and common terms used to describe them.
- A small business may be defined as a business with a small number of employees.
- The legal definition of "small" often varies by country and industry, but is generally under 100 employees in the United States while under 50 employees in the European Union.
- These businesses are normally privately owned corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships.
- Small businesses are common in many countries, depending on the economic system in operation.
- Typical examples include: small shops, hairdressers, tradesmen, solicitors, lawyers, accountants, restaurants, guest houses, photographers, small-scale manufacturing etc.
- The smallest businesses, often located in private homes, are called microbusinesses (term used by international organizations such as the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation) or SoHos.
- The term "mom and pop business" is a common colloquial expression for a single-family operated business without any hired labor, e.g., "mom and pop store".
- When judged by the number of employees, the American and the European definitions are the same: under 10 employees.


Determining the Interval
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
You must set the site link replication interval property to indicate how frequently you want replication to occur during the times when the schedule allows replication. For example, if the schedule allows replication between 02:00 hours and 04:00 hours, and the replication interval is set for 30 minutes, replication can occur up to four times during the scheduled time. The default replication interval is 180 minutes, or 3 hours.
Consider the following criteria to determine how often replication occurs within the schedule window:
 - A small interval decreases latency but increases the amount of WAN traffic.
 - To keep domain directory partitions up to date, low latency is preferred.
With a store-and-forward replication strategy, determining just how long a directory update might take to be replicated to every domain controller is difficult. To provide a conservative estimate of maximum latency, perform these tasks:
 - Create a table of all the sites on your network, as shown in Table 3.3.
 Table 3.3 Maximum Latency (in Hours) of Replication Between Sites
 Seattle Boston Los Angeles New York Washington DC
 Seattle
 0.25

 Boston

 0.25

 Los Angeles

 0.25

 New York

 0.25

 Washington DC

 0.25
 An average, worst-case latency within a site is estimated to be 15 minutes.
 - From the replication schedule, determine the maximum replication latency possible on any site link connecting two hub sites.
 For example, if replication occurs between Seattle and New York every three hours, then the maximum delay for replication between these sites is 3 hours. If the replication delay between New York and Seattle is the longest scheduled delay among all hub sites, then the maximum latency between all hubs is 3 hours.
 - For each hub site, create a table of the maximum latencies between the hub site and any of its satellite sites.
 For example, if replication occurs between New York and Washington, DC, every four hours and this is the longest replication delay between New York and any of its satellite sites, then the maximum latency between New York and its satellites is four hours.
 - Combine these maximum latencies to determine the maximum latency for the entire network.
 For example, if the maximum latency between Seattle and its satellite site in Los Angeles is one day, the maximum replication latency for this set of links (Washington, DC-New York-Seattle-Los Angeles) is 31 hours (4 (Washington, DC-New York)+ 3 (New York-Seattle) + 24 (Seattle-Los Angeles)) as shown in Table 3.4.
 Table 3.4 Maximum Latency (in Hours) of Replication Between Sites
 Seattle Boston Los Angeles New York Washington DC
 Seattle

 Los Angeles

Review your maximum replication latency, and revise your replication schedule and interval if necessary.

Level Curves of a Hamiltonian System
 1. Apr 16, 2008 #1
 Various problems in my textbook ask me to sketch the level curves for a Hamiltonian system, but they don't suggest how to go about it. I know that I need to determine the eigenvalues for each equilibrium point in the given system, and these values hint at the behavior of solutions near each respective equilibrium point. Do I need to sketch a direction field to help me see how the curves behave? What else might I be missing?
 Also, do the Hamiltonian level curves only suggest what the solutions to non-linear systems look like, or can it somehow lead explicit solutions?
 Any help is appreciated.

Definitions for magnetic circuit
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word magnetic circuit
Wiktionary
 1. magnetic circuit(Noun)
 A closed path of magnetic flux
Freebase
 1. Magnetic circuit
 A magnetic circuit is made up of one or more closed loop paths containing a magnetic flux. The flux is usually generated by permanent magnets or electromagnets and confined to the path by magnetic cores consisting of ferromagnetic materials like iron, although there may be air gaps or other materials in the path. Magnetic circuits are employed to efficiently channel magnetic fields in many devices such as electric motors, generators, transformers, relays, lifting electromagnets, SQUIDs, galvanometers, and magnetic recording heads. The concept of a "magnetic circuit" exploits a one-to-one correspondence between the equations of the magnetic field in an unsaturated ferromagnetic material to that of an electrical circuit. Using this concept the magnetic fields of complex devices such as transformers can be quickly solved using the methods and techniques developed for electrical circuits. Some examples of magnetic circuits are: ⁕horseshoe magnet with iron keeper ⁕horseshoe magnet with no keeper ⁕electric motor
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
 1. Magnetic Circuit
 A magnetic field of force is characterized by the presence of lines of force, which, while approximately parallel, curve around and tend to form closed curves. The polarity of a field of force is referred to an imaginary direction of the lines of force from the north pole through space to the south pole, and in the part of the field corresponding to the body of the magnet, from the south to the north pole. The cut indicates these features. Hence the magnetic field of force is termed the magnetic circuit, and to it are attributed a species of resistance termed reluctance, q. v., and the producing cause of the field or lines of force is termed sometimes magneto-motive force, q. v.) corresponding to the electro-motive force. The modern treatment of the magnetic circuit is similar to the application of Ohm's law and the laws of resistance and conductivity to the electric circuit.

text: The Japanese crane (Grus japonensis) known as the red-crowned crane, also called the Manchurian crane, is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world and is sacred and seen as a symbol of fidelity, good luck, love and long life in the Orient. It is also the second rarest crane species in the world. These tall, graceful birds are mainly white in colour with black lower wings.The wingspan of the Japanese crane measures up to 2.5 metres! Japanese cranes are the most aquatic species of crane and prefer to forage in deep water. Japanese cranes usually pair for life and perform an elaborate, synchronised, balletic courtship dance to reinforce this bond.


Quarkus - Centralized log management (Graylog, Logstash, Fluentd)
This guide explains how you can send your logs to a centralized log management system like Graylog, Logstash (inside the Elastic Stack or ELK - Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) or Fluentd (inside EFK - Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Kibana).
There are a lot of different ways to centralize your logs (if you are using Kubernetes, the simplest way is to log to the console and ask you cluster administrator to integrate a central log manager inside your cluster). In this guide, we will expose how to send them to an external tool using the quarkus-logging-gelf extension that can use TCP or UDP to send logs in the Graylog Extended Log Format (GELF).
The quarkus-logging-gelf extension will add a GELF log handler to the underlying logging backend that Quarkus uses (jboss-logmanager). By default, it is disabled, if you enable it but still use another handler (by default the console handler is enabled), your logs will be sent to both handlers.
Example application
The following examples will all be based on the same example application that you can create with the following steps.
Create an application with the quarkus-logging-gelf extension. You can use the following Maven command to create it:
mvn io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:1.13.4.Final:create \
 -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
 -DprojectArtifactId=gelf-logging \
 -DclassName="org.acme.quickstart.GelfLoggingResource" \
 -Dpath="/gelf-logging" \
 -Dextensions="resteasy,logging-gelf"
If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the logging-gelf extension to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="logging-gelf"
This will add the following to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
 <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
 <artifactId>quarkus-logging-gelf</artifactId>
</dependency>
For demonstration purposes, we create an endpoint that does nothing but log a sentence. You don't need to do this inside your application.
import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import org.jboss.logging.Logger;
@Path("/gelf-logging")
@ApplicationScoped
public class GelfLoggingResource {
 private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(GelfLoggingResource.class);
 @GET
 public void log() {
 LOG.info("Some useful log message");
 }
}
Configure the GELF log handler to send logs to an external UDP endpoint on the port 12201:
quarkus.log.handler.gelf.enabled=true
quarkus.log.handler.gelf.host=localhost
quarkus.log.handler.gelf.port=12201
Send logs to Graylog
To send logs to Graylog, you first need to launch the components that compose the Graylog stack:
 - MongoDB
 - Elasticsearch
 - Graylog
You can do this via the following docker-compose file that you can launch via docker-compose run -d:
version: '3.2'
services:
 elasticsearch:
 image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:6.8.2

Then, you need to create a UDP input in Graylog. You can do it from the Graylog web console (System → Input → Select GELF UDP) available at http://localhost:9000 or via the API.
This curl example will create a new Input of type GELF UDP, it uses the default login from Graylog (admin/admin).
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -H "X-Requested-By: curl" -X POST -v -d \
'{"title":"udp input","configuration":{"recv_buffer_size":262144,"bind_address":"0.0.0.0","port":12201,"decompress_size_limit":_PHONE_},"type":"org.graylog2.inputs.gelf.udp.GELFUDPInput","global":true}' \
http://localhost:9000/api/system/inputs
Launch your application, you should see your logs arriving inside Graylog.
Send logs to Logstash / the Elastic Stack (ELK)
Logstash comes by default with an Input plugin that can understand the GELF format, we will first create a pipeline that enables this plugin.
Create the following file in $HOME/pipelines/gelf.conf:
input {
 gelf {
 port => 12201
 }
}
output {
 stdout {}
 elasticsearch {
 hosts => ["http://elasticsearch:9200"]
 }
}
Finally, launch the components that compose the Elastic Stack:
 - Elasticsearch
 - Logstash
 - Kibana
You can do this via the following docker-compose file that you can launch via docker-compose run -d:
# Launch Elasticsearch
version: '3.2'
services:
 elasticsearch:
 image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:6.8.2
 ports:
 - "9200:9200"
 - "9300:9300"
 environment:
 ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
 networks:
 - elk
 logstash:
 image: docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:6.8.2
 volumes:
 - source: $HOME/pipelines
 target: /usr/share/logstash/pipeline
 type: bind
 ports:
 - "12201:12201/udp"
 - "5000:5000"
 - "9600:9600"
 networks:

 ports:
 - "5601:5601"
 networks:
 - elk
 depends_on:
 - elasticsearch
networks:
 elk:
 driver: bridge
Launch your application, you should see your logs arriving inside the Elastic Stack; you can use Kibana available at http://localhost:5601/ to access them.
Send logs to Fluentd (EFK)
First, you need to create a Fluentd image with the needed plugins: elasticsearch and input-gelf. You can use the following Dockerfile that should be created inside a fluentd directory.
FROM fluent/fluentd:v1.3-debian
RUN ["gem", "install", "fluent-plugin-elasticsearch", "--version", "3.7.0"]
RUN ["gem", "install", "fluent-plugin-input-gelf", "--version", "0.3.1"]
You can build the image or let docker-compose build it for you.
Then you need to create a fluentd configuration file inside $HOME/fluentd/fluent.conf
<source>
 type gelf
 tag example.gelf
 bind 0.0.0.0
 port 12201
</source>
<match example.gelf>
 @type elasticsearch
 host elasticsearch
 port 9200
 logstash_format true
</match>
Finally, launch the components that compose the EFK Stack:
 - Elasticsearch
 - Fluentd
 - Kibana
You can do this via the following docker-compose file that you can launch via docker-compose run -d:
version: '3.2'
services:
 elasticsearch:
 image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-oss:6.8.2
 ports:
 - "9200:9200"

Valuation rings of function fields#
A valuation ring of a function field is associated with a place of the function field. The valuation ring consists of all elements of the function field that have nonnegative valuation at the place.
EXAMPLES:
sage: K.<x> = FunctionField(GF(2)); _.<Y> = K[]
sage: L.<y> = K.extension(Y^2 + Y + x + 1/x)
sage: p = L.places_finite()[0]
sage: p
Place (x, x*y)
sage: R = p.valuation_ring()
sage: R
Valuation ring at Place (x, x*y)
sage: R.place() == p
True
Thus any nonzero element or its inverse of the function field lies in the valuation ring, as shown in the following example:
sage: f = y/(1+y)
sage: f in R
True
sage: f not in R
False
sage: f.valuation(p)
0
The residue field at the place is defined as the quotient ring of the valuation ring modulo its unique maximal ideal. The method residue_field() of the valuation ring returns an extension field of the constant base field, isomorphic to the residue field, along with lifting and evaluation homomorphisms:
sage: k,phi,psi = R.residue_field()
sage: k
Finite Field of size 2
sage: phi
Ring morphism:
 From: Finite Field of size 2
 To: Valuation ring at Place (x, x*y)
sage: psi
Ring morphism:
 From: Valuation ring at Place (x, x*y)
 To: Finite Field of size 2
sage: psi(f) in k
True

Clipping Plane in WPF 3D

Demonstrate Clipping Plane in WPF 3D
Introduction
I recently needed to brush up on WPF and had the idea of adding a Clipping Plane to Rod Stephens' excellent WPF Menger Sponge. While I was at it, I added some other features which I will describe via the following links:
 1. Clipping Plane
 2. Axes
 3. Lighting
 4. Textures
 5. Progress Bar
 6. Menu Bar
Download and Build
Download the MengerSpongeClipping.zip file and extract it. Open the MengerSpongeClipping project with Visual Studio. Build it by pressing F6; the project should build successfully with no errors. Press F5 to run the MengerSpongeClipping project in debug mode.
Using the Code
To clip the Menger Sponge, simply click the "Clip" button. You can orient the clipping plane using the sliders as illustrated in the above image. You can rotate the clipping plane about the x, y, or z axes using the "Rotate Plane" Sliders, and you can translate it along the x, y, or z axes using "Translate Plane" sliders. For this version, the Clipping Plane is assumed to be infinite in all directions, so the translation is for demonstration purposes and does not affect the actual clipping. (In a future version, I plan on having the clipping algorithm assume a finite Clipping Plane, and therefore take into account the translation of the Clipping Plane, so parts of the Sponge that are outside are not clipped.) The positive side of the Clipping Plane is an opaque green; the negative side is an opaque blue.
Clipping Plane
My implementation of the clipping plane is simple: the distance from the plane to each rectangle center is computed, and rectangles with distance values less than zero (that is, behind the opaque blue side) are discarded. The method DrawClippingPlane() performs the following steps:
 1. Rotate the Clipping Plane
 2. Translate the Clipping Plane
 3. Get the transformed coordinates of the Clipping Plane
 4. Determine Equation of the Clipping Plane in the form Ax + By + Cz + D = 0
The method DistanceFromPlaneToPoint() uses the Equation of the Clipping Plane to determine the distance to the rectangle's center. The method RemoveClippedRectangles() (described below) computes the distance and removes clipped rectangles from RectanglesMade. The method DrawClippedSponge() (also described below) redraws the Menger Sponge.
Axes
I used Mr. Stephens' WPF Cylinder code to draw the x, y, z axes. You can toggle them on and off by pressing the "A" (the Axis Toggle Key), or by using "View" from the Menu Bar. To label the axes, I used Eric Sink's fantastic CreateTextLabel3D() method; I added another parameter, a Transform3DGroup transform. See TextLabel3D.cs for details.
Lighting
In WPF (and DirectX and OpenGL), a directional light is a light that projects its effect along a specified vector. The Vector3D lightVector1, Vector3D lightVector2, Color lightColor1 and Color lightColor2 are inputs to the DirectionalLight() constructor. Since it can sometimes be hard to visualize where the light is pointing by specifying a vector, I used Mr. Stephens' WPF Cone code to draw "flashlights" (a flashlight is known as a torch in the UK) that shows where the directional light is pointing. There are two directional lights named appropriately enough Light 1 and Light 2. The flashlights are disabled (not displayed) by default for clarity. To enable (display) them, press the "F" key (the Flashlight Toggle Key) or use "View" from the Menu Bar. Whether the flashlights are enabled or not does not affect the actual lighting; in other words, they are only used for making the lighting vectors easier to visualize.
You can experiment with the two lights by setting the sliders for the direction vectors and combo box for the colors. If you select "None" from the colors combo box, the corresponding DirectionalLight() is turned off, and the flashlight is displayed in wireframe code supplied by Mr. Stephens. (I spent some time trying to use 3D Tools wireframe, but to no avail.) In the illustration below, I've enabled the flashlights, zoomed out a little (using the minus key) and disabled the Clipping Plane (for clarity) by pressing the "P" key (the Clipping Plane Toggle Key). Next, I set the direction vectors as shown, set Light 1 (in the background) to blue and Light 2 (in the foreground) to red. Note how the red light illuminates the X and Z faces of the Menger Sponge to red, and the Y face is a shade of purple due to the combination of blue and red:
MengerSpongeLighting1
In the next illustration, after I rotate the scene 195 degrees using the arrow keys (note how theta goes from 60° to 255°), and tilt it from phi=30 degrees to phi=40 degrees, the effect of the Light 1, the blue light (now in the foreground) can be seen illuminating the -X and -Z faces of the Menger Sponge to blue:
MengerSpongeLighting 2
Textures
You can add textures to the Menger Sponge by selecting an image file from the "Texture" combo box as shown below. In order to use this feature, you first need to modify app.config to point to the image files, for example:
<setting name="ImageFileLocation" serializeAs="String">
 <value>C:\MyProjects\MengerSponge\MengerSpongeClipping\MengerSpongeClipping\Images\</value>
</setting>
The code for this is from yet another useful article by Mr. Stephens on textures.
MengerSpongeTexture
WPF Progress Bar
Since the number of rectangles drawn is determined by the SpongeDepth, I added a WPF Progress Bar to show the progress of re-drawing the clipped Menger Sponge, as illustrated below. The code demonstrates the use of a BackgroundWorker object. To get the full effect if you're running on a fast machine, you might want to run the program in Debug mode by pressing F5 since there is some console output in debug mode which slows the process somewhat.
MengerSpongeProgressBar
When you click the "Clip" button, the BtnClip_Click() callback creates the BackgroundWorker object in order to perform the clipping operation on a separate thread. Note the use of Dispatcher.Invoke in RemoveClippedRectangles() which is needed since the method DrawClippedSponge() accesses the spongeMesh object which is owned by a different thread. The method RemoveClippedRectangles() calculates the progress.
The Menu Bar has "File", "View" and "Help" menu items. "File->Save As..." allows you to save your settings to a text file, and "File->Open" allows you to retrieve them. File->Reset will reset the Clipping Plane rotations and translations, Camera movements, lighting settings, and textures to their initial values (as will pressing the Escape key). "View" allows you to toggle the Axes, Clipping Plane, Sponge, and Plane Normal. You can also use the "A", "P", "S", and "N" toggle keys, respectively. Since the Plane Normal is small (a unit vector), you will have to turn off the Sponge (and Axes, if the Plane Normal is aligned with an axis) in order to see it.

How To Create Easy Vertical Space for Cats
Cats are masters at using vertical space—and being able to survey their surroundings from a high perch adds calming enrichment when space is limited.
At a recent ASPCA Field Investigations and Response temporary shelter in North Carolina, the clever use of extra crate doors made life much more interesting for the cats.
You can do something similar in your own shelter—here's how!
What You'll Need
- Extra door from a pet airline crate—door should be large enough to hold an adult cat
- 2-3 large zip ties
- Duct tape
- Soft bedding
Six Easy Steps
- Use the door from an airline carrier to create a suspended shelf—the shelf should be large enough to hold an adult cat.
- Place the door in a corner of the cat enclosure with the latch pointing towards the floor.
- Use several large zip ties to make a loop from the top of the cat enclosure through the crate door to suspend the shelf.
- Secure the sides with a few zip ties for stability and cut the sharp edges off.
- Wrap duct tape around the primary support to prevent the cat from getting stuck in the loop created by the zip ties.
- Add soft bedding to cover the shelf and wait for a cat to try it out!

Texas Water Development Board approves $90,000,000 to the City of Bedford (Tarrant County) for water system and water meter improvements
For immediate release. Contact: Sarah Haney at _PHONE_
AUSTIN – (July 23, 2015) – The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) today approved by resolution financial assistance in the amount of $90,000,000 from the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas (SWIFT) to the City of Bedford (Tarrant County). The City will be able to finance the construction costs associated with water system and water meter improvements.
The City could save approximately $4,008,938 over the life of the loan by using SWIFT.
The City plans to replace 90 percent of water piping in its water distribution system with the assistance approved today. The City will also replace 15,000 water meters with automatic meter readers. The improvements by the City are a conservation project and will save an estimated 2,716 acre-feet of water per year.
The TWDB is the state agency charged with collecting and disseminating water-related data, assisting with regional planning, and preparing the state water plan for the development of the state's water resources. The TWDB administers cost-effective financial assistance programs for the construction of water supply, wastewater treatment, flood control, and agricultural water conservation projects.

INDIANAPOLIS — Wednesday is International Women's Day, and Indiana educators are celebrating with the announcement of plans for an all-girls STEM academy.
The kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school will open on the north side of Indianapolis next year.
"Today, being International Women's Day, we wanted to celebrate a very unique, first-of-its-kind educational opportunity that's going to be focused on girls in central Indiana K through 8," said Danielle Shockey, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana.
Paramount Schools of Excellence announced Girls IN STEM Academy in partnership with the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, Every Girl Can Stem and Purdue Polytechnic High School.
"This has been a 2019 seed of a dream," Shockey said.
"The school will be a free public school," Shockey said.
School officials said this will bridge the gender gap in STEM careers.
"When you look at STEM careers in the future, there is already an inequity in the number of females entering the STEM workforce," Shockey said. "Between now and 2030, the job opportunities in STEM are going to grow 10%, and that is more than all other occupations combined."
Shockey said girls form their STEM science and math identity by grade three.
"We know that now with all the growth and opportunities in the future, and the growth that exists, we need to give girls this unique, single-gender environment, to give them STEM role models, STEM instruction and a really beautiful way that prepares them for the future," Shockey said.
The curriculum will focus on robotics, math, engineering, science and technology. There is also a strong focus on diversity.
"Paramount and Polytechnic, both serve students that are 70% minority and socioeconomically challenged," Shockey said. "We hope to continue to achieve that because those inequities are even greater in STEM than gender inequity."
Girls IN STEM Academy will be located in midtown. A specific location will be announced in the coming months.
