I need to change a function named "CalibrationLevel" but first I want to make sure I understand completely it's role in the system, in this case Qt 5.9.
How to do it in Softagram?
 1. Locate the function: just type "CalibrationLevel" to the search bar. Search is case-insensitive.
 2. Right click the function in question and select Inbound View from dropdown menu.
 3. To see all possible call paths, you want to increase the "Dependency Lookup Level". Below I increased it from 1 to 5.
 4. To see the function level details across the call paths you might need to increase the "Detail Level" too (in my example it is 11). Note that I used "Aggregated Incoming Dependency" KPI to highlight the most critical components along the call paths.
In 15 seconds you can get full understanding how your change would affect the whole system, and it could easily save an hour of grepping and constructing an idea of the dependencies in your mind, or drawing it to a piece of paper.
Extra tip:
Now that you have readily proper view settings for call paths, you can check them for any function just by typing the function name to the search bar.
E.g. in the example above, searching again for "CalibrationLevel" would give me the graph of all functions named "CalibrationLevel" (instead of just the one we looked at above), showing their users and possible refactoring targets:
Did this answer your question?

A SftTreeItem object.
MaxPix
Defines the maximum height of the item in pixels. If 0 is specified, the item uses the height required, so the item is not clipped vertically.
Comments
The MaxHeightPix property defines the maximum height of the item.
If the item is larger than the defined maximum height, it is truncated and clipped.
This property has no effect when fixed height items are used (see Items.Style). The Items.MinHeightPix and Items.MaxHeightPix properties can be used for fixed height items to define the minimum and maximum height for all item.
The Items.Lines property can be used to define the number of text lines used for item height calculation.
The Item.MinHeightPix property defines the minimum height of an item.

 Understanding the XenForo Class Proxy System
 What is the XenForo Class Proxy System?
 In a nutshell, this system allows several add-ons to extend the same class within XenForo using its code event listener system, which allows an extension chain to be constructed (with the last link in the chain being the class that is instantiated when XenForo creates the necessary class).
 The Listener
 For this example, we will be working with the following listener, which is adding an example class toXenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread's extension chain (this is being executed onload_class_controller):
 PHP:
 1. <?php
 2. class MyAddon_Listener
 3. {
 4. public static function loadClassController($class, array &$extend)
 5. {
 6. if ($class == "XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread") {
 7. $extend[] = "MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread";
 8. }
 9. }
 10. }
 So, if we look into this function we can see that $extend is passed by reference, meaning that any execution of a listener on the load_class_controller code event will receive and modify the same $extend array. So, if this listener executes last, and two others extend XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread, the array will contain the following elements (in this order):
 - RandomAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - YourAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 What this means, is that when XenForo attempts to instantiate XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread it will actually instantiate an instance of MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread.
 Resolving the Issue of Multiple Inheritance
 PHP does not have multiple inheritance classes. Each class needs exactly one class to extend, and any class extending a class will not receive any other classes (besides the class its extending's ancestors) functionality. This poses a problem when 2 or more add-ons want to extend the same functionality within XenForo. It isn't possible to have all three instances of the extended XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread running and have it function properly (for example, getting all 3 changes to return to XenForo_Application to properly display on the front end) without running all three classes in the same execution tree.
 The Solution
 The solution is the Proxy Class system. Any class that is being used as an extension in the listener system should extend a non-existant class of the format XFCP_ClassName. This is the Class Proxy. So, for MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread, I want to extendXFCP_MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread. So, the code for MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread will look like the following:
 PHP:
 1. <?php
 2. class MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread extends XFCP_MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 3. {
 4. public function actionMyAction()
 5. { // add-on code}
 6. }
 The magic of this solution occurs in XenForo_Application::resolveDynamicClass(). What happens is that XenForo fires the necessary code events (in this example, load_class_controller) and retrieves the extension tree for it (the list provided above). What it then does is create the necessary proxy classes and load the necessary extensions into the current execution tree. At the end of this, it returns the last link in the chain to whatever called it to instantiate. By the end, the extension tree will look like this (including XenForo classes), with each list item extending the previous list item:
 - XenForo_Controller
 - XenForo_ControllerPublic_Abstract
 - XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - XFCP_RandomAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - RandomAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - XFCP_YourAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - YouAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - XFCP_MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 - MyAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 The classes that XenForo creates for the proxies are empty classes that extend the previous link in the chain. An example for XFCP_YourAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread:
 PHP:
 1. <?php
 2. class XFCP_YourAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread extends RandomAddon_ControllerPublic_Thread
 3. { }
 Things to Note While using the Class Proxy System
 - parent::function() should always be called and used (ie, getting the returned view and adding in parameters) and be the return of your extended function. This will allow any other add-ons that function on the same function to properly work with your add-on.
 - No add-on should extend a XenForo class directly (unless the class proxy system doesn't function).
 - If you need your class to execute early in the execution chain, be sure to set your event listener's execution order to a low number. XenForo defaults this to 10 and will execute them with lowest to highest execution order.

Ceph Grunt Commander units are a variations of Ceph Grunts that appear in Crysis 2.
Ceph Combat Command Units are very similar to the Stalker Commanders. Both have dark, red-colored flesh resembling jelly underneath their armored exoskeletons. The Grunt and Stalker Commanders also have red-colored shields that activate when the player's presence is discovered. Upon death, Ceph Grunt Commanders will drop 300 Nano Catalyst. They also have slightly different helmets, displaying their eyes more as slits rather than a standard grunts more circular eyes.
The main differences between Grunt and Stalker Commanders are that they command different units and wield different weapons. The Grunt Commanders are in control of a squad of Grunts and have a pulse rifle attached to their arm, as opposed to the blade of the Stalker Commanders. Once a battle starts, the Grunt Commander will activate its shield, which emits a red glow. Once enough damage is dealt to the Grunt Commander, its shield will dissipate and the Grunt Commander becomes as vulnerable as the Grunts that serve underneath them.

The Famous Denby Dale Pie From Yorkshire
Meat Pie
Getty Images
The village of Denby Dale nestles in the picturesque hills of West Yorkshire in Northern England. The town is famous for its monster meat and potato pies—they're even mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records. These gigantic pies are usually baked to celebrate national special occasions and events. The first time is believed to have been in 1788 to celebrate the recovery of King George III from his mental illness.
The History of Denby Dale Pies
Ten pies have been made as part of nine pie festivals over the years—one of the festivals was ditched in 1887. The pie that was made for the millennium celebration in 2000 weighed a staggering 12 tonnes. That's in excess of 26,448 pounds—a tonne equals slightly more than 2,204 pounds. The pie was 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 3 feet 8 inches deep. It contained three tonnes of beef and a tonne of potatoes, and it was wetted down by 22 gallons of John Smith's Best Bitter, which is brewed in Tadcaster in Yorkshire. The pie was so big it had to be transported to the Pie Field on a 70-foot wagon. As befitting a work of such magnificence, it was blessed by the Bishop of the nearby city of Wakefield.
Not all Denby Dale pies are of such magnitude. More approachable pies are made to the same authentic recipe. The business wavered at one point, but the company was rescued and bought out of receivership by a team led by food entrepreneur Andrew Hayes, preserving 17 jobs in the region. More recently, Denby Dale Pies engaged the services of renowned Yorkshire bard Ian McMillan to write a poem—renamed a piem—in honor of the Denby Dale Pie. The poem was released in time for National Pie Week in the UK. National Pie Week is a week-long celebration of British pies both sweet and savory.
If you prefer to read your poetry rather than listen to it at the link above, here's how McMillan's work goes:
It's pleasing to the nose
And delightful to the eye
Wait till you taste that Denby Dale pie!
It's a symphony of crust,
Taties, gravy and meat
A Denby Dale pie makes your life complete!
They've been making pies in Denby Dale
For centuries and more
They're as Yorkshire as puddings and good strong ale
You can smell 'em through the cottage door!
They've been eating pies in Denby Dale
Since King George was a youth!
Each massive pie could tell a tale
or a slice of historical truth!
're making them again
And the pie-maker's art
Is once more close to this town's heart!
So all those in favour
Stand and bellow Aye! Then have a taste of that there Denby Dale Pie!
For those who aren't familiar with Yorkshire Dialect, "taties" means potatoes, "'em" means them, and "'re" means they are.

Go to the BuildPreview and then go to the Starting Ignore Actor collapsed node in the On Spawned collapsed node. Create a new "Get all actors of class" node and set the class to "VoxelTerrainActor"
or the class of your voxel actor. Then create a new then create a new array of "VoxelTerrainActor" and connect that to the get all actors of class output. Example image below.
Then find and right click the landscape actors array and find references.
Then just copy the same things the landscape actors variable is being used for and do the same for the "VoxelTerrainActor" that you created. Example image below.
Last if you go to the BuildPreview then go to the Placement function and add a pin to this Or node and connect up a new == node and set the class to "VoxelTerrainActor", it should work.
(Node you need to add the node highlighted node and set its class to Voxelterrainactor)

need for different timestamp representations, you can utilize the DynamicMessage object as a tree data structure for your schema. With this strategy, you can write a tree traversal algorithm to enhance certain data types in a generic way.
The schema type scanning and subsequent JSON enhancement at the timestamp locations are illustrated below. Both trees represent the same event, where you only want to enhance the nodes in tan. The left tree shows the actual data to enhance, and the right tree shows where it should be enhanced.
JSON Tree | Schema Tree
At a high level, you can define enhancers in your application, such as a UnixEnhancer (see the repo for details on the utility functions for scanning the schema tree, etc.):
public class UnixEnhancer implements ITimestampEnhancer {
 private final GenericTools genericTools;
 …...

 @Override
 public JsonObject enhanceTimestamps(JsonObject jsonObject, DynamicMessage dynamicMessage) {
 Set timestampLocations =
 genericTools.getTimestampPaths(dynamicMessage.getAllFields().keySet(), "");
 timestampLocations.forEach(location -> setUnixTime(jsonObject, location, dynamicMessage));
 return jsonObject;
 }

 void setUnixTime(JsonObject jsonObject, String timestampLocation, DynamicMessage event) {
 final var entry = genericTools.getJsonElementEntry(timestampLocation, jsonObject);
 final var timestamp = genericTools.getTimestamp(event, timestampLocation);
 entry.setValue(new JsonPrimitive(timestamp.getSeconds()));
 }
}
There is also a similar enhancer for preserving the structure of the standard Protobuf type Timestamp, which preserves the milliseconds and nanoseconds recorded.
The following are two events enhanced with UNIX mode and PRESERVE_PROTO mode, respectively:
UNIX:
{
 "reading_id": "59db0644-d4bf-4a4d-8422-eb5bd6ad3ae3",
 "time_of_reading": _PHONE_,
 "device_id": "be6d7094-698e-498f-bdef-8dff0c536a14",
 "latitude": 61.12245949618671,
 "longitude": 27.577309223873602,
 "elevation_in_meters": 1869.0,
 "ph_reading": {
 "ph_value": 2,
 "ph_type": "PHTYPE_ACIDIC"
 }
}
PRESERVE_PROTO:
{
 "reading_id": "de186a49-f5f7-4c5a-b3cd-088ec21f3036",
 "time_of_reading": {
 "seconds": _PHONE_,
 "nanos": 520000000
 },
 "device_id": "7972736b-aa57-4a59-a219-e7df432c251d",
 "latitude": 35.56625496833527,
 "longitude": 29.854088167143328,
 "elevation_in_meters": 321.0,
 "precipitation_reading": {
 "delta_in_millimetres": 48
 }
}
Exposing these modes without recompiling your application is simple when defining your beans with Spring Boot's @ConditionalOnProperty annotation.
 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = PREFIX, name = TIMESTAMP_MODE, havingValue = "GOOGLE")
 public ITimestampEnhancer googleStrategy() {
 return new NoOpEnhancer();
 }

 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = PREFIX, name = TIMESTAMP_MODE, havingValue = "UNIX")
 public ITimestampEnhancer unixStrategy(GenericTools genericTools) {
 return new UnixEnhancer(genericTools);
 }

 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = PREFIX, name = TIMESTAMP_MODE, havingValue = "PRESERVE_PROTO")
 public ITimestampEnhancer protoPreservingStrategy(GenericTools genericTools) {
 return new ProtoPreservingEnhancer(genericTools);
 }
Sending transformed events downstream
The codebase does not implement the actual delivery of the JSON events via HTTP as this is highly dependent on your downstream system.
However, you have the ability to also extract generic metadata about your event through introspection on the DynamicMessage class. Any common attributes you know that are present, such as event_id, category, and so forth, can be used to plug into various parts of your downstream system's API spec. So if your reporting system needs to assign an ID to each ingested event, you can simply extract it from the message.
The above strategy only works if you have mandated a certain pattern for your event designs, either by word of mouth or through automation of schema management. If the event_id field is not populated (say, it is left blank by the producer), you could implement a fallback mechanism to use the metadata of the ConsumerRecord class from the Kafka client API. To do this, generate a fallback ID that looks like the following:
${topic}-${partition}-${offset}-${timestamp-type}-${timestamp}.
This formulation guarantees uniqueness within a Kafka cluster,* and is also resistant to topics being deleted and recreated (as is often the case in lower-level environments) by adding the Kafka record's timestamp attributes.
*The formulation guarantees uniqueness if the producer does not override the timestamp in the ProducerRecord when using CREATE_TIME mode or if the topic uses LOG_APPEND_TIME. It is assumed that the brokers' clocks are always monotonically increasing and are closely synchronized.
By utilizing deterministic IDs and assuming those IDs are unique, the generic processor can guarantee exactly-once delivery to an idempotent downstream system.
Bringing it all together
In summary, here are the key takeaways from this post:
 - Your event designs matter! How you express your events can simplify or complicate generic transformations and standardized field extraction. This can be a deal breaker when you need an application to process thousands of distinct data assets without engaging every single team that owns them.
 - Confluent's KafkaProtobufDeserializer and Protobuf's DynamicMessage classes simplify writing generic processors and schema traversal algorithms.
 - Spring for Kafka helps reduce the boilerplate in configuration management and simplifies Kafka consumer interaction.

Yes, I heard it first on a medical television show, denture creams causing zinc poisoning. Can denture creams cause paralysis, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and other neurological issues? Can zinc poisoning cause neuropathy? The general public may not realize that some of their denture creams do contain zinc. It is the long term, chronic and excessive use of the creams that may have lead to the development of neurological symptoms.
Zinc Poisoning from Denture adhesives:
Zinc is found in the rust prevention coatings of paints, vitamins, zinc oxides, zinc acetate and zinc sulfate. Zinc poisoning usually results from misuse of paints, dyes and ointments, but people did not realize that their denture cream also can poison them. Individuals with ill fitting dentures may have neurological problems from an excessive use of the denture adhesives. In 2008 'Neurology' Journal published a report on denture creams and the risk of zinc exposure. People were reporting using 2 tubes a week for poorly fitting dentures. This is not the recommended usage, people developed neuropathy or other neurological symptoms. A regular tube of denture cream should last 3 to 10 weeks. 'Glaxo Smith Kline' published a consumer advisory on February 18, 2010, warning about a potential health risk associated with long-term, excessive use of GSK's denture adhesives that contain zinc.
Symptoms of Zinc Poisoning
Symptoms of zinc poisoning include numbness and tingling in the hands, loss of sensation or unexplained pain and muscle weakness in legs and arms, a metallic taste in the mouth, and other neurological programs that cause difficulty with walking and balance. Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves and can cause the numbness or tingling of extremities with the reduced inability to walk. Severe zinc poisoning reactions require immediate medical help and a call to your poison control center.
Users of dental adhesive creams should have properly fitting dentures and follow the recommended dosage of denture cream found on their packages.

OUR LOCAL INITIATIVE
Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait (HBWW) ® is a project of the March of Dimes focused on decreasing the rate of preterm births in communities with a disproportionately high number of babies being born prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy.
The Broward Healthy Start Coalition received HBWW funding from the March of Dimes in 2020 to work within a Collective Impact framework to decrease the rates of preterm births in cities and zip codes in Broward County with elevated preterm birth rates. The project conducts a root cause analysis through the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data specific to prematurity and maternal health in the priority populations
Our efforts and strategies are developed and implemented with a racial equity lens by an advisory board comprised of key stakeholders in the community and a Project Navigator who leads the activities. With the knowledge that no two communities are exactly alike, the project strives to learn about the issues affecting individual communities through canvassing efforts and conversations with community members. Embracing what we learn from communities, we in turn use that information to educate those most impacted by adverse birth outcomes through public events while bringing awareness of preterm birth rates to community leaders, health care providers, and other key stakeholders.

Scala Question
In Scala, How can Manifest implicitly be caputured in context?
def getManifest[T : Manifest] = implicitly[Manifest[T]]
class A[T]
object A {
def apply[T] = new A[T]
}
def getA[T : A] = implicitly[A[T]]
val m = getManifest[Int]
//res0: Manifest[Int] = Int
val a = getA[Int]
//<console>:14: error: could not find implicit value for evidence parameter of type A[Int]
Even though there is no implicit variable in context
by calling
getManifest[Int]
,
m
of type
Manifest[Int]
is caputred implicitly
However my custom class A,
getA[Int]
emits an error
Because there is no implicit variable in cotext.
What is the difference between class A and Manifest
does Scala compiler knows about Manifest and do some magic ???
like, creating some implicit variables for Manifest
Answer
Short answer is yes. Manifests are compiler magic where the Scala compiler will automatically conjure up implicit instances of them for types as they are needed. They're used to get around type erasure on the JVM (the problem that at runtime generic types get erased so for example a List[Int] looks the same as a List[String]).
See What is a Manifest in Scala and when do you need it? for more details.
They are also deprecated now in favor of TypeTags.

Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the room that once symbolized peace was stolen by Nazis then disappeared for good.
While many Americans associate amber with the casing for dinosaur DNA in 1993's Jurassic Park, the stone has enthralled Europeans, and especially Russians, for centuries because of the golden, jewel-encrusted Amber Room, which was made of several tons of the gemstone. A gift to Peter the Great in 1716 celebrating peace between Russia and Prussia, the room's fate became anything but peaceful: Nazis looted it during World War II, and in the final months of the war, the amber panels, which had been packed away in crates, disappeared. A replica was completed in 2003, but the contents of the original, dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World," have remained missing for decades.

The Jompy Water Boiler, designed by David Osborne, is an innovation in the developing field of water purification for use in poor communities around the world. Traditionally the water is heated separately when cooking, by fuel fired stoves. Osborne, a plumber from Scotland, theorized that water purification could be integrated with cooking food over open flame stoves, as well as by using the sun's energy. By placing a an aluminum alloy coil between the flame and the cooking pot, water can be circulated across the top of the stove.
Cold water goes into one end, and thanks to the large surface area of the device it can be heated quickly to boiling point before it comes out of the other end. While it's being used, a normal pan can be placed on top of it to cook as normal, meaning that you don't have to use as much fuel. The device can also be used to heat water with the sun. Filling it full of water and leaving it out in direct sunlight should raise the internal temperature to about 80°C over the course of about 20 minutes. The hot, uncontaminated water that comes out can then be used to drink or to clean safely. An off-the-shelf digital thermometer can be placed into the output tube from the coil to monitor required temperatures for pasteurization.
The Jompy boiler weighs 700g and, over a fire, it can raise a liter of water every minute to about 86 °C -- hot enough to kill most of the bacteria that cause water-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery and diarrhea. Rugid in design, it can withstand extended use. The device has been tested in Kenya and India earlier this year, and Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki has personally endorsed the Jompy, which is being rolled out around the country in supermarkets and through charities like the Red Cross.

There has been an increasing interest within the field of Marriage and Family Therapy over the last decades in uncovering and exploring how specific contextual parameters influence the life experience of minority groups. The identified experiences of minority groups include emotional and psychological responses directly connected to oppression, the effect of oppression on the couple relationship, and specific mental health needs. This dissertation adds to the existing knowledge in several ways. Specifically, the aim is to explore (1) how experiences of oppression may be present in a Scandinavian context, (2) how lived experiences affect the relationship of minority couples in Denmark, and (3) their specific mental health needs and implications for marriage and family therapists.
During this study eight couples (16 individuals) were interviewed to gain an indepth understanding of their experiences and meaning-making processes. The data was analyzed using a phenomenological method developed by Edwards and Titchen (2003) and based on the theory of Alfred Schutz (1967; 1970a). Results indicated that, as a consequence of their racial, cultural, and religious difference, the participating couples experienced that others tend to devalue them, seeing them as not-Danish, and being of lesser worth, affecting them emotionally and psychologically. This study identified several coping mechanisms commonly used by Middle Eastern couples in Denmark. This dissertation is ground breaking in Denmark, as it takes a first step toward exploring the experiences of minority couples and the emotional and psychological impact that the Danish context has on them. In addition, this dissertation makes a contribution to the field of marriage and family therapy by connecting theories developed in the United States to lived experiences in Denmark, enabling marriage and family therapists around the world to reflect on trans-cultural and trans-national processes and experiences in regards to oppression.

Something like 'Optionality' or 'Ordinality'? (It's similar in kind to the words "Arity" and "Cardinality")
Example: "Fred listed the XXXity of each parameter, noting whether it was optional or mandatory"
Follow-up question: What part of speech is this?
share|improve this question
Optionality is obviously a noun (you are even using it with a definite article in your example) and is included as such in several dictionaries (Wiktionary, Merriam-Webster, Collins). And in fact some dictionaries have a dedicated entry for the suffix -ity. – RegDwigнt Apr 4 '13 at 10:16
I see - as in "noun referring to a state or quality"... so there isn't a specific word for this? – Richard Inglis Apr 4 '13 at 10:32
How about 'Necessity'? Does a thesaurus help? – Mitch Apr 4 '13 at 12:00
Are looking for a part of speech more refined than 'noun'? You're looking for an abstract concept but there's nothing grammatically special about that. – Mitch Apr 4 '13 at 12:03
2 Answers 2
There are a few recently contrived words that try to do this; optionality is indeed used from time to time, and I've seen things like mandatoriness too. But actually there are some more established words that do the same job.
Of course, optional-ness is actually binary - something is either optional or mandatory. Therefore the quality of optionality/optional-ness is actually the same as the quality of mandatory-ness or compulsory-ness, just with the polarity reversed.
All of which is a fairly long winded way for me to get around to saying this:
I think the word you're looking for is the noun, necessity.

It appears that Ordinality is used in this sense (even though it has a more normal meaning of 'ordering'). Maybe this is verging on jargon.
For example: "Ordinality is a property that indicates whether an entity instance is mandatory"

Dynamic Substructuring (DS) is a powerful engineering concept to model and analyse dynamic systems in terms of its components or substructures. It derives from the ancient principle of "divide and conquer" ("divide et impera"), which suggests that large problems are most effectively governed by dividing them into smaller parts and choosing the best approach for each. Dynamic Substructuring does just that: it allows to model each component using the most qualityand cost-effective technique and "substructure" their dynamics together. This way, one can simulate the sound and vibration behaviour of the full assembly (the end-product), long before any physical prototype is available.
With Dynamic Substructuring, insights on full-vehicle NVH performance can be obtained much earlier, as already-available components can be measured and substructured to FE models of the rest of the vehicle.

Definition of Lysogeny
Lysogeny is a kind of life cycle in which certain types of bacteria get infected by a bacteriophage. In the process of lysogeny, the genome of the phage is incorporated into the genome of the host and keep on replicating as the cell divides. The phage is in dormant condition and does not produce any progeny.

But as soon as the host is exposed to UV light, the phage gets activated and takes over the cellular machinery of the host and produces new daughter phages, and eventually destroys the host cell and the progeny is released into the surrounding environment.

The Modeling and Simulation of Ferrite Orthogonal Core Controllable Reactor Based on Matlab
The principle and structure of ferrite orthogonal core controllable reactor(FOC-CR) were discussed. The analysis of FOC-CR's magnetic equivalent circuit and basic equations was presented. Based on these, this paper establishes the relationship of FOC-CR's input voltage and flux through a odd polynomial assumption of MMF-Flux and gives a simulation model of FOC-CR in Matlab by using S-function.The modeling method is accessed from the result of both current wave and control characteristics of simulation model and experimental prototype.

Extended Air Defense Task Force
Definition/Scope: The Headquarters Extended Air Defense Task Force (EADTF) was developed in order to strengthen common security and air defense goals and to promote standardization within the respective ground-based air defense forces. Therefore, it was determined that a tri-national (United States/ Netherlands/Germany) Extended Air Defense Task Force organization would be established. The initial headquarters was activated at Siegerland - Kaserne, Burbach, Germany on 2 August 1999. The official inauguration ceremony took place on 3 December 1999. The HQ EADTF relocated to Campbell Barracks, Heidelberg, Germany, in July 2004, due to the restructuring of the German ground-based air defense forces and the subsequent closure of the facilities in Burbach. The mission of the EADTF is to Plan, coordinate and provide liaison for US/NL/GE combined air defense activities, training, exercises, and interoperability tests. On order, assume mission related command and control functions or augment an Extended Air Defense organization. The Uited States terminated its membership in July of 2008.

The Red-footed Booby bird is the smallest of the booby birds at 71 centimetres in length and a 137 centimetre wingspan. It has red legs and the bill and throat pouch are coloured pink and blue.
The Red-footed Booby bird has two plumage forms. The white phase is basically white with black on the flight feathers. The brown form is brown with a white belly rump and tail. Both forms may occur together, as in the breeding colony on St. Giles Island, Tobago. Few seabirds display such a variety of colour phases. Legs and feet are red and their beaks are pale blue. Below you can view a short video of the Red Footed Booby Bird.
The Red-footed Booby bird breeds on islands and coasts in tropical oceans. It winters at sea and is therefore rarely seen away from the breeding colonies.
The Red-footed Booby bird nests in large colonies, laying one chalky blue egg in a stick nest in a tree, which is incubated by both adults for 44 - 46 days. It may be 3 months before the young first fly and 5 months before they make extensive flights.
Red-footed Booby pairs may remain together over several seasons. They perform elaborate greeting rituals, including harsh squawks and the males display of his blue throat.
Young Red-footed Booby birds are wholly brown or blackish grey with a black beak, facial skin and grey legs. Immature have patchy underwings without a definite pattern, white back, mottled grey-brown head and red or brownish legs. Length: 66 - 77 centimetres (26 - 30 inches); wingspan: 91 - 101 centimetres (36 - 40 inches). The Red-footed Booby bird has an average life span of 22 years.
The Red-footed Boobies of the Galapagos Midway island are a white colour morph. Adult birds have white body and tail plumage. Upperwings have black primary and greater secondary coverts. About 444 pairs nest on Eastern Island.
The Red-footed Booby birds feed by diving vertically into the water and rarely within sight of land. They can dive up to 30 metres to pursue their prey. They feed primarily on flying fish and squid. They either feed on their own or within a mixed species flock. They search for their food anytime during the day and after dark. Red-footed Boobies are specialized in catching flying fish. They dive while skimming at the surface of the ocean and they do it far from shore. For that reason sometimes they need the whole day or even more in their fishing raids and their chicks have therefore to fast in the nest until their parents return with food.
Colonial in nature, the Red-footed Booby differs from the other Boobies by making their nests in small trees and shrubs. Colonies can be found on Tower, Culpepper, Wenman, Gardener-near Floreana, Pinta and Isla Pitt. They are rarely seen in areas other than where they breed. Eggs can be found throughout the year with colonies hatching at the same times.
The voice of the Red-footed Boobies is like that in the other booby birds. However both the whistle and the honk come accompanied by an inflexion that sounds like a grunt. Besides this, red boobies come in two different morphotypes; the brown and dominant and the white recessive. These morphotypes make them look very special in the sense of beauty. Is important to remember that in spite of the great apparent difference they show, both colours are from the exact species of Boobie. They are not different species.

Soil compaction may restrict deep root growth and adversely affect plant access to sub-soil layer. Therefore it is important to study rooting behaviour of crops to soil compaction that are imparted on it naturally or artificially. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of soil compaction levels by varying the soil bulk density (BD) on rooting parameters and to model the root growth to understand the dynamics of rooting behaviour of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Compaction level treatments, i.e. BDs were (i) 1.2, (ii) 1.4, (iii) 1.5 and (iv) 1.6 Mg/m3. When BD was increased from 1.2 Mg/m3 to 1.6 Mg/m3, there was 58% and 44% reduction in plant height of JG 11 and JG 130, respectively. There was 59% and 45% reduction in root length of JG 11 and JG 130, with increase in BD from 1.2 Mg/m3 to 1.6 Mg/m3. On an average, an increase in BD by 0.1 unit resulted in 19.34 and 19.11% decrease in root main axis length of JG 11 and JG 130, respectively. There was a negative correlation between root penetration rate and soil BD (R2 = 0.88). The critical growth limiting BD for chickpea was found to be 1.89 Mg/m3 in our study. The logistic growth model was fitted well with the observed dataset obtained from study with R2 of 0.98∗∗(P < 0.01). In this study, the chickpea variety JG 130 proved to be better than JG 11 while selecting chickpea cultivars for highly compacted soils.

bed of coals forms. A cast iron bean pot (holds about eleven pounds of dried beans) is lowered into the pit, covered over with dirt and allowed to cook, usually overnight. Several bean pits could keep beans cooking at all times.
It is generally believed that the loggers learned to make bean hole beans form the Indians; others learned from the loggers. The tradition continued after the logging camps declined. Bean holes can be found not only at large community suppers, but also at summer vacation camps throughout Maine.

I want to show the child occurences of the parent record in the same way as you created the pdf invoice example. My child records would be the items in the invoice example. Is this allright?
I want to create a subclass of the parent class where I can get all the necessary data by the _cm_output_multi() function.

In the $structure[title] section I can define different fields one after another in one line. Is it possible to show the fields 'floating'. I don't know how to express this correctly. What I mean is, that I have to define the width of each field. But if I have defined a width of 20 and I have only three characters there is much space between this and the next word.
The second question I have is the following: Can I group the list view by a column in the same manner as the list view with totals? For your understanding what I mean: I have a team with members. Each member is categorized by a certain position(as 'Star sign' in your example). I want to create a list where all members of a position are grouped under his/her position. I hope you can imagine what I want.

Re: output2 with parent/child tables _URL_
(2) The output of data in any PDF report is mainly controlled by the SQL query which you use to extract data from the database. The PDF processing will simply take each record that is produced from that query and process it before moving on to the next record. Any sorting or grouping must therefore be done in the SQL query *BEFORE* you send that data to the PDF object.
The documentation at _URL_ clearly identifies the various options which are available, so if you want something which is not in this document then it's probably not available.

$sql_select = 'CONCAT(vereine_kuerzel, \' \', mannschaften_id) AS mannschaft_name';

$structure['title'][] = array('text' => '%%mannschaft_name', 'width' => 15, 'align' => 'left', 'x' => 25, 'y' => 0);
But there is no output. What did I wrong?
(2) Can I get a field value of the parent table within the above sql_select statement? I want to show a logo image file in the child report title. But the file name is stored in the parent table. I think that this should work with outer/inner join in a way as you showed in option_list(a).php. Did you somewhere describe this problems in one of your documentation?

$structure['title'][] = array('text' => '- Contents of X_PERSON table -',
to
$structure['title'][] = array('text' => '%%last_name',
and it worked perfectly.
I suggest you step through with your debugger to see what is going wrong in your code.
When reading from a database table it is possible in the SQL query to JOIN to other tables to obtain other values, then that data can be handled in the code as if it came from the first table. All you have to do is construct a valid query.]]>

Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer System Using Wavelength Modulated Source
Meller, Scott A.
MetadataShow full item record
Interferometric optical fiber sensors have proved many orders of magnitude more sensitive than their electrical counterparts, but they suffer from limitations in signal demodulation caused by phase ambiguity and complex fringe counting when the output phase difference exceeds one fringe period. Various signal demodulation methods have been developed to overcome some of the these drawbacks with limited success. This thesis proposes a new measurement system for the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) sensor. Using a wavelength modulated source and a novel extended-gap EFPI, some of the limitations of interferometric signal demodulation are overcome. By scanning the output wavelength of a multilongitudinal mode laser diode through current modulation, the EFPI sensor signal is scanned through multiple fringes. Gap movement is then unambiguously determined by monitoring the phase of the multiple fringe pattern.

Across from the Rock for Fort St Joseph is a stone cross that stand up on a hill that overlooks the river. At the bottom of the cross is carved the word Allouez.
The stone cross marks the location where Father Jean Claude Allouez is buried after his death in 1689. Born in France in 1622, Father Allouez was ordained in 1655, and then sailed to Quebec. He travelled the area by land and canoe and established several missions in the western Great Lakes region. He was fluent in Native American languages and after the death of Father Jacques Marquette he was assigned to continue Fr. Marquette's work.
Allouez came to Fort St. Joseph where he died. His final resting place was marked with a simple wooden cross. In 1918, the Women's Progressive League marked the site with a stone cross bearing his name.

motion field is zero, but the
optical flow field is not.
What is Meant by Apparent
Motion of Brightness Pattern?
The apparent motion of brightness patterns is an awkward concept. It is not
easy to decide which point P' on a contour C' of constant brightness in the
second image corresponds to a particular point P on the corresponding
contour C in the first image.
The aperture problem
Aperture Problem
(a) Line feature observed through a small aperture at time t.
(b) At time t+ot the feature has moved to a new position. It is not possible
to determine exactly where each point has moved. From local image
measurements only the flow component perpendicular to the line
feature can be computed.
Normal flow: Component of flow perpendicular to line feature.
(a) (b)
Brightness Constancy Equation
Let P be a moving point in 3D:
At time t, P has coords (X(t),Y(t),Z(t))
Let p=(x(t),y(t)) be the coords. of its image at
time t.
Let E(x(t),y(t),t) be the brightness at p at time t.
Brightness Constancy Assumption:
As P moves over time, E(x(t),y(t),t) remains
constant.

Solving the aperture problem
How to get more equations for a pixel?
Basic idea: impose additional constraints
most common is to assume that the flow field is smooth locally
one method: pretend the pixels neighbors have the same (u,v)
If we use a 5x5 window, that gives us 25 equations per pixel!
Constant flow
Prob: we have more equations than unknowns
The summations are over all pixels in the K x K

This is a two image problem BUT
Can measure sensitivity by just looking at one of the

You can automatically detect scene changes in footage that does not have an EDL, such as archived material. Once SpeedGrade has identified scene changes, you can add keyframes to scene changes, or split your footage up into separate clips.
The workflow consists of the following steps:
- Detect the scene changes.
- Prepare the footage for grading or editing.
- Save or export the footage.
After marking your scene changes, prepare the footage for grading or editing as follows:
- To separate the footage into individual shots or scenes, click Split into Clips.
- To flag the scene changes, click Add Keyframes to Clip.
Once you split into clips or add keyframes, you can save the scene-detected content as a SpeedGrade project or create an Edit Decision List (EDL).
In the Setup Panel under the Timeline tab, do one of the following:
- To save the content as a SpeedGrade project, click Save IRCP.
- To export an Edit Decision List, click Save EDL.

How do you compute the volume of a cat?
Dunking it in water doesn't work– you only get the volume of the rat-like creature that lives inside the cat; much like the feeble alien within a Dalek. (And, if your answer had anything to do with contour integrals, get real.)
Here is a low-tech method that works: Using successive approximation, determine the smallest box that the cat will fully enclose itself in, and measure the size of that box. Cats tend to leave a few appendages hanging out of the corners– you may need to assist with folding the cat into the box for the final stages of approximation.
This cat is approximately 648 cubic inches in volume.

Petroleum Exploration History in North Dakota to 1951
Herz, Clarence Anthony
More InformationShow full item record
The delayed discovery of oil in North Dakota resulted from remoteness, environment, and economic disadvantage, three of the six themes of Elwyn B. Robinson. Initially, lacking outside capital, the local explorers turned to their communities from 1917 to 1935 to raise the capital necessary to search for oil. As a result a complex group united to raise the capital necessary, but did not discover oil. The Great Depression ushered in the era of outside capital from 1937 to the successful discovery of oil on April 4, 1951. During this entire exploration period the state legislature, restricted by a lack of tax revenue, was unable to properly fund the North Dakota Geologic Survey. The survey achieved only marginal success throughout this exploration period. This history of early petroleum exploration not only enhances public knowledge but also lays the groundwork for further research toward a complete history of the industry.

Bridge flutter and how to prevent it at low cost - The eccentric-wing flutter stabilizer
This online lecture begins with a simple explanation of the mechanism of flutter and the main features of its mathematical description. It thus becomes clear why flutter is the all-dominating criterion in the design of very long span bridges. Various known ways of stabilizing a bridge against flutter are discussed and it is shown that all of these are associated with certain respective disadvantages. An alternative device is described which avoids these disadvantages: the eccentric-wing flutter stabilizer. A parametric flutter analysis study is presented that shows for what type of bridges the device is particularly effective and cost-efficient.

Using Tooltips With Form Validation
The jQuery UI tooltip widget is a good way to describe what's required in a specific form input element. A good way to instruct the user, so that they're less likely to receive validation errors when they submit the form. Even with this help, the user will likely get something wrong, or just forget to supply information altogether. In this case, you can use the same tooltip widget to provide a subtle visual cue that there's something wrong with their input.
For example, here's what the form might look like as they're filling it out - before they make a submission attempt.
And here's what happens when the user tries to submit the form without supplying the first name field.
Note that this form validation also changes the state of the input itself. It also changes the visual state of the tooltip, but it's only displayed if the user hovers over the input, or if the input gains focus. We're not even changing the content of the tooltip when it enters the error state. We usually shouldn't have to because it's going to be something trivial the user got wrong, and the visual cue is enough to set them on the right path. Here's what the tooltip and validation code looks like.
function error( $input ) {
 return $input
 .tooltip( 'option', {
 tooltipClass: 'ui-state-error'
 }).addClass( 'ui-state-error' );
$(function () {
 $( '[title]' ).tooltip().on({
 focusin: function( e ) {
 $( e.currentTarget )
 .addClass( 'ui-state-focus' );
 focusout: function( e ) {
 $( e.currentTarget )
 .removeClass( 'ui-state-focus' );
 $( '[type="submit"]' ).button();
 var params = $( e.currentTarget )
 .reduce( function( result, i ) {
 result[ ] = i.value;
 return result;
 if (!params.firstname ) {
 error( $( '[name="firstname"]' ) );
 if (!params.lastname ) {
 error( $( '[name="lastname"]' ) );
 if (!params.address ) {
 error( $( '[name="address"]' ) );

ReSharper 2018.1 Help
Managing Assembly Lists
To apply order to the way you work with multiple assemblies, and also to support switching between different sets of assemblies, ReSharper organizes assemblies and folders into assembly lists. You can work with different assembly lists depending on your context. You can save and reopen assembly lists, or clear the current list if you no longer need it.
To save current assembly list
 1. Click Save Assembly List ThemedIcon WorkspaceSave Screen Gray on the Assembly Explorer toolbar.
 2. Specify a name and location for the assembly list file.
To load a saved assembly list
 1. Click Open Assembly List ThemedIcon WorkspaceLoad Screen Gray on the Assembly Explorer toolbar.
 2. Select an assembly list file (*.dpl).
When you expand an assembly in the Assembly Explorer window, you can see the list of referenced assemblies under the References node. The referenced assemblies do not expand further; however, you can explore them by adding to the root level of the Assembly Explorer.
To explore referenced assemblies
 1. Expand the References node of an assembly and select a reference to the assembly that you want to explore further.
 2. Double-click on the reference or right-click on the reference and choose Show at root level.
 3. The assembly will be added to the assembly list so that you can explore its contents.

I am new to Python scripting in ArcGIS but not new to ModelBuilder.

I believe that the user should clearly define their objectives before deciding which set of tools to use. ModelBuilder and Python scripting excel at different tasks. A few thoughts:
 1. ModelBuilder has no mapping capabilities, whereas arcpy.mapping does.
 2. Python can be used to optimize workflows, such as with the multiprocessing package or with parallel processing.
 3. Python allows for nested loops and other handy iterative logic tools. To accomplish a similar result in ModelBuilder, you would have to construct intricate, and complicated, nested models.
 4. Simple text manipulation is very easy with Python and either very difficult or not possible with ModelBuilder.
 e.g. to rename a list of file names from, for example "m_2010_naip_2310345_nw.img" to "2310345nw.img" can easily be accomplished with Python using the os.path module.
On the other hand:
 1. ModelBuilder is very useful for quickly putting together common tools and eliminating the need for debugging scripts.
 2. ModelBuilder has a very useful recursive iterator that is easy to implement in order to loop through folders and subfolders.
 3. ModelBuilder excels at visually and intuitively depicting the workflow for complicated tasks.
 4. ModelBuilder can incorporate Python script tools.

Described differences between Python and Model Builder in ArcGIS clearly. Thanks – wetland Apr 7 '13 at 17:34
I would add also: 1. you can run your Python script outside ArcMap 2. You can use ArcObjects in Python, 3. There may be some speed differences. – Tomek Apr 7 '13 at 19:19
+1 NESTED LOOPS & arcpy.mapping! I like the ability to make calculations within a script and add them to attribute tables or better yet to the map layout (area of each wetland type for example). – Roy Apr 9 '13 at 19:43
I read python scripting for ArcGIS book. I also add some more capabilities : 1- script cursors let you loop through records in a table, reading the existing rows and inserting new rows. 2- scripting can be used to wrap other softwarethat is, to glue together application. for example python can be used to access functions in Microsoft Excel or in the statistical Package R. 3-A script can be run as a stand-alone script on disk outside of ArcGIS.you do not need to run ArcMap or ArcCatalog for script to work.

If you are working solely within the confines of ArcGIS, there are a few considerations I would consider when attempting to determine the approach to take.
 - What are you trying to accomplish,
 - What are your current skill sets,
 - Will you be sharing your work with others to use, learn from, or manipulate, and
 - Who is your intended audience.
Given those considerations:
 1. It is often quicker and easier to build a process in ModelBuilder than in Python, unless part of your process cannot be replicated in ModelBuilder.
 2. If you don't know Python & have not intention to learn it, ModelBuilder is a great option.
 3. If you don't know Python & want to learn to incorporate it into your skill set, ModelBuilder is a great way to start by creating simple models, then exporting them to Python so you have the skeleton of your final process pre-built for you. This method does come at a cost, as there is a lot of extraneous information & variables that usually get created during the conversion process, but it is still a great way to start learning.
 4. If you are building tools for personal use, using whichever method you feel most comfortable with is usually the route to go. I personally use both, depending on my needs.
 5. If you are planning to share your analysis with others, and want to share your model/script with others are part of your process documentation, a model is generally much easier to follow and understand for non-technical people.
There probably is no answer to "which is better" for personal use, but if you are looking long-term at employment possibilities, by learning Python you will set yourself apart from those who only know how to use the pre-programmed tools, or just know how to use ModelBuilder. You also give yourself the ability to go outside the confines of Python for ArcGIS (ArcPy), and start automating far more tasks and projects by using other proprietary and open-source GIS libraries, as well as many non-GIS libraries (iedatabase, image manipulation, statistics, etc).

Model Builder is a great and easy to learn visual programming language and a good entrance to GIS-programming in general. But in some things python can do more.
One example is the integration of non-ESRI GIS libraries. Nearly all of the Open Source GIS can be adressed via python as well (e.g. GRASS, Sextante, QGIS, SAGA). This helped me a lot, because I only have an ArcView license. So every time I cannot use a certain geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS, I look what other options are available in Open Source GIS. I then take these OpenSource-tools and combine them with ArcGIS tools either in a bigger python script or integrate them in ModelBuilder via a smaller python script.
I'm sure other members can name more advantages.

When using Python and ArcGIS, you get the entire functionality of Python in addition to what you already had in ArcGIS. If you need this kind of power and flexibility depends on your wishes. In addition, getting to know and really leverage a programming language such as Python takes time. If this investment is worth it for you is up to you. However, for serious data processing a real scripting language is a very good addition in your arsenal.
Apart form any functionality that the ModelBuilder might miss, there is also a more fundamental discussion. In general, scripts are much more suitable to create complex workflows. The code is processed from top to bottom, and complex tasks can be subdivided into smaller sub tasks using e.g. functions. or objects. A graphical tool such as the model builder tends to become a big spaghetti.

I'm partial to creating Python scripts. It's more fun to write code than to mess around with connecting lines to boxes and such, for me at least.
What's really great about Python scripting is you can schedule your scripts to run at a time that is convenient for you. If you have a script that takes a while to complete, or needs to be run outside of regular business hours, this is really convenient. You can see an example of how to schedule a script here.
And as _USER_ mentions, you can easily set up looping in a Python script.
If you're just setting out with Python scripting, you might want to create a model with Model Builder and export it as a Python script. I do this sometimes if I'm having trouble understanding how to use several tools in a script. It could help you get a sense for how to put scripts together.

I have found that I seem to get stuck with no solution more with model builder than with python scripting. The somewhat 'black box' nature of model builder to me makes it harder to find where the problem is located.
I have also found that I can find a lot more help on python. I tend to find lots of dead end threads and topics about model builder. There area also fewer example to go by, where as with python, you probably can find small snipets of most parts of any script you are writing.

10 Common Questions for Pop Warner Parents
Signing your child up for Pop Warner football is exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
Like any new adventure, playing Pop Warner football will come with lots of questions. Will my child be safe? How big are the kids playing on my child's team? When can I register? What league will my child play in?
Here are some frequently asked questions first-time Pop Warner parents ask, and some answers to get you started as your child embarks on a great experience.
Is there a league in my area?
Pop Warner has football leagues in 42 states from coast to coast, so chances are there's one in your area. Visit Pop Warner's league finder web page to find information--including contact information and web addresses--of the Pop Warner league near you.
When are sign-ups?
It depends on the league, but usually are in the spring and summer months. Check the website of your local league for more information.
What are the different age groups?
Pop Warner has opportunities for players ages 5-15, and they are separated into nine divisions. The youngest, the Tiny-Mite division, features children ages 5-7. The Bantam division features 13-15 year olds with 16-year olds welcome if they are light enough.
My child has a birthday during the season. How does that affect age placement?
With Pop Warner games being played in the fall, the organization has set up a specific guideline: A child's age on July 31st is his/her age for the entire season. So if your son turns 10 on August 1st, he will still be considered a 9-year old for registration purposes.
Does my child's weight matter?
Yes, it does. Pop Warner combines age restrictions with weight restrictions to make an age/weight scale. It is as follows:
 - Tiny-Mite: Ages 5-7. Must be between 35 and 75 pounds.
 - Mitey-Mite: Ages 7-9. Must be between 45-90 pounds.
 - Junior PeeWee: Ages 8-10 must be between 60-105 pounds. 11-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 60-85 pounds.
 - PeeWee: Ages 9-11 must be between 75-120 pounds. 12-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 75-100 pounds.
 - Junior Midget: Ages 10-12 must be between 85-135 pounds. 13-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 85-115 pounds.
 - Midget: Ages 11-14 must be between 105-160 pounds. 15-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 105-140 pounds.
 - Junior Bantam: Ages 12-14 must be between 120-170 pounds. 15-year olds are accepted if they weigh 120-150 pounds.
 - Unlimited: For 12-15 year olds who weigh more than 170 pounds.
 - Bantam: Ages 13-15 year olds who weight 135-185 pounds. 16-year olds can play if they are between 135-165 pounds.
For more information, check out Pop Warner's Age/Weight structure web page.
Are there any other requirements?
Pop Warner demands academic excellence among its participants. Players must receive a 2.0 grade-point average (or 70 percent average) in school to participate. Exceptions are made through Scholastic Eligibility Forms, which are filled out by that child's school to determine whether Pop Warner football would be beneficial to that child.
Are there tryouts?
No. Everyone is allowed to participate and play. All you have to do is sign up.
Is my child safe playing organized football?
Though injury is always possible in any sport, Pop Warner is quick to point out that injury rates are significantly lower in youth football than in high school or college football. That's partly because of Pop Warner's strict age/weight scale that makes sure all the children are playing against players their own size.
Studies have shown that organized football among children produces fewer injuries than soccer.
How many games will my child play?
The regular season schedule is usually between seven and nine games, between late August and late October. Playoffs will follow in certain divisions, and the best teams will play in the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Florida in early December.
If my child isn't the best player on the team, will he/she just sit the bench all season?
Not at all. Pop Warner has mandatory rules of play that requires everyone be able to participate. That means that every player will get in for several plays every game.

Reinforce Safety in Cleanrooms with Floor Tape and More
By Kelsey Rzepecki
cleanroom entry sign
The typical construction costs for building an ISO 8 to ISO 7 cleanroom can range from $250 to $1,500 per square foot or more. There are many items that can drive up the building costs of a cleanroom, including flooring, ceilings, specialized furniture, lighting, and other devices.
Due to the large investment of building and maintaining a cleanroom, it reinforces the importance of keeping a safe and efficient facility to keep human error and downtime to a minimum. Managers can take these steps to minimize costs and improve overall safety and efficiency.
Evaluate Worker Training
Prevent costly mistakes and ensure your facility has a comprehensive training program in place for all personnel who enter a cleanroom. Deficient safety awareness training causes employees to misunderstand protocol, make mistakes, and cause potential problems. Make sure workers know why they need to follow specific procedures and how it connects to the overall goal of the operation. Consider these best practices to help aid worker training:
cleanroom worker
 - Determine a consistent method of employee evaluation and testing.
 - Discuss scenarios including corrective action when mistakes happen.
 - Regularly assess gowning processes.
 - Consider implementing various training tools that resonate with workers of different learning styles.
 - Supply visual guides near work areas, color-code important machine instructions, and post easy-to-read graphics and checklists.
 - Encourage employees to share suggestions for improvements.
 - Offer refresher training when necessary.
Minimize Damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The level of surface cleanliness and low humidity in a cleanroom encourages static-charge generation. Static electricity can attract contaminants in cleanrooms, which is why electrostatic discharge (ESD) control is a big concern, especially in medical device manufacturing and microelectronics. Personnel are the main sources of static electricity from simply walking around, and this static charge can easily discharge into an ESD sensitive device. Equipment like carts and trolleys moving through the facility can also produce static charge that can transfer to the products that are being transported on the equipment.
To identify problem areas, establish how ESD-sensitive the parts and assemblies you're manufacturing or handling are to determine the best solution for control. Check with the manufacturer or supplier of the equipment or refer to the part data sheet to determine the ESD classification or voltage.
You can reduce electrostatic attraction (ESA) and control static discharge in sensitive areas like cleanrooms using Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) Tape. ESD tape won't absorb static, making it ideal for labeling electronic components and marking in cleanrooms. Post signs to identify ESD sensitive items, produce barcodes, hazard labels, general facility labels and signs, and more. Note: implementing a static-control program will be the best way to ensure the most effective static control.
Implement a 5S System
A 5S system can help correct inefficiencies and ensure operations run smoothly by keeping all items within the cleanroom clean, functional, and where they belong. Here are suggestions for how to implement each step of 5S in cleanrooms and other controlled environments:
cleanroom floor marking tape
Step 1: Sort
Remove all unnecessary items from the cleanroom. This will help eliminate clutter in the workspace, eliminating hazards that may have been lurking before.
Step 2: Set in Order
Make things easy to find. Assign equipment to specific locations so personnel know where to find and return items each time.
Step 3: Shine
Conduct basic maintenance duties. Make it a part of the daily routine to inspect, clean, and disinfect all surfaces and instruments in the cleanroom to protect against contamination.
Step 4: Standardize
Consistently enforce the rules. Ensure all personnel understand the goals and steps of the 5S system to experience the true benefits within the facility.
Step 5: Sustain
Repeat all steps of 5S daily—this will ensure the workplace remains clean, safe, and efficient.
Install Thoughtful Floor Marking
Make it easier for personnel to navigate in the clean room by installing floor tape. Designate work stations, safe aisle and pathways, storage areas, and more to enhance visibility, safety awareness, and organization in any facility. Ensure tape complies with the ISO cleanroom classification you need. It's also perfect for implementing a 5S system. Create a standardized color-coding system and differentiate between hazards and organizational areas and alert personnel to areas of various tools and equipment.
Outline and highlight areas to prevent damage to expensive equipment, such as ceiling-mounted HEPA filters. Alert personnel who are conducting maintenance activities to keep clear to avoid punctures and other damage. Mark the facility floor and other areas and surfaces such as walls, carts, shelves, cabinets, and more. Graphic Products' PathFinder LITE™ 5S Clean Room Tape is rated for ISO 4 and below and is ideal for floor marking applications in laboratories and other cleanroom controlled environments.
Evaluate Safety Signs and Labels
Signs and labels are essential to any workplace safety program. They help prevent unsafe behavior, draw attention to important information, and communicate hazards. Reduce chances of human error and ensure safety by making sure labels and signs are in good condition by conducting a walk-through of the facility. Evaluate and replace worn, outdated, inaccurate, and damaged labels and signs.
Cleanroom Safety Solutions
You can have a better chance of preventing contamination by using reliable labeling supplies that are engineered for cleanrooms. Tailor labels to your workplace and alert workers to important site-specific procedures, hazards, and more. Design and print custom labels and a variety of other safety messages using the DuraLabel PRO 300. It's compatible with DuraLabel clean room class 100 compliant tape and clean room class 1,000 compliant ribbon, made specifically for applications in cleanrooms. The tape has a synthetic liner to limit the release of particulates into the air, reducing chances of contamination. Communicate procedures specific to certain work areas and processes: label vials, circuit boards, machinery, tools, and more. Alert workers to restricted areas, communicate cleanroom PPE requirements, and more with easy to install premade labels and signs. By implementing each of these tools, managers can promote a safer and more efficient cleanroom operation.

HP OpenVMS DCL Dictionary
Cancels wakeup requests for a specified process, including wakeup
requests scheduled with either the RUN command or the $SCHDWK system
Requires one of the following:
- Ownership of the process
- GROUP privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for
processes in the same group but not owned by you
- WORLD privilege to cancel scheduled wakeup requests for any
process in the system
The name of the node on which the specified process is running.
You cannot specify a node name on a different OpenVMS Cluster system
from the current process.
The name of the process for which wakeup requests are to be canceled.
The process name can have up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
The specified process must be in the same group as the current process.
The CANCEL command cancels scheduled wakeup requests for the specified
The CANCEL command does not delete the specified process. If the
process is executing an image when the CANCEL command is issued for it,
the process hibernates instead of exiting after the image completes
To delete a hibernating process for which wakeup requests have been
canceled, use the STOP command. You can determine whether a subprocess
has been deleted by entering the SHOW PROCESS command with the
A local process name can look like a remote process name. Therefore, if
you specify ATHENS::SMITH, the system checks for a process named
ATHENS::SMITH on the local node before checking node ATHENS for a
process named SMITH.
You also can use the /IDENTIFICATION=pid qualifier to specify a process
name. If you use the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier and the
process-name parameter together, the qualifier overrides the
parameter. If you do not specify either the process-name
parameter or the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, the CANCEL command cancels
scheduled wakeup requests for the current (that is, the issuing)
Identifies the process by its process identification (PID). You can
omit leading zeros when you specify the PID.
The CANCEL command in this example cancels a wakeup request for a
process named CALENDAR (which continues to hibernate until it is
deleted with the STOP command).
$ RUN/SCHEDULE=14:00 STATUS
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 0013012A
The RUN command in this example creates a process to execute the image
STATUS. The process hibernates and is scheduled to be awakened at
14:00. Before the process is awakened, the CANCEL command cancels the
$ RUN/PROCESS_NAME=LIBRA/INTERVAL=1:00 LIBRA
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 00130027
$ CANCEL LIBRA
$ STOP LIBRA
The RUN command in this example creates a subprocess named LIBRA to
execute the image LIBRA.EXE at hourly intervals.
Subsequently, the CANCEL command cancels the wakeup request. The
process continues to exist, but in a state of hibernation, until the
STOP command deletes it.

Orderhive brings to you an easier way to organize shipments, by letting you create folders as desired and grouping shipments into them. You can now see a new folder-wise structure for shipments, where you can create multiple folders other than the default common folder. You can simply select and move shipment/s (single or bulk) to desired folders.
Here's how organize Shipments in folders in Orderhive:
Add folders: (Orderhive account) Shipments → '+' Add Folders → Name → Create
Move shipments: (Orderhive account) Shipments → Select Shipments/ → More → Move To → Select Folder → Move
