A guitar technique where the edge of the pick is dragged along the length of a string, creating a distinctive, abrasive sound.
Pick slides, also known as pick scrapes, are a popular technique in rock and metal genres, often used as a dramatic effect or to transition between different sections of a song. To execute a pick slide, the guitarist places the edge of the pick against a string, usually the lower E or A string, and applies pressure while sliding the pick along the string's length. The resulting sound is a gritty, grinding noise that can add energy and intensity to a performance.
Although pick slides are relatively simple to perform, they require a firm grip on the pick and careful control of the pressure applied to the string to produce the desired sound. Incorporating pick slides into one's playing can provide a dynamic and attention-grabbing element, contributing to the overall expressiveness and impact of a guitarist's performance.

How Do Elves Breath?
Generally glittering dust that emanates from mystical creatures is a sign of enchanted magics at work. The most famous is of course Fairy Dust. Something Fairies produce when flying, or utilizing their powers. Elves hard at work, or utilizing magics may produce Elf Dust from their hands. Walking can cause the dust to sparkle from their feet leaving a clear trail behind them. These are in essence enchanted waste products caused by metaphysical energies being exerted in our physical world as metaphysical matter. If this was a perfect paranormal planet made of enchanted energies then dandy dusts of the supernatural sort wouldn't exist!
Most often Elf Dust is a by-product of their respiration process. When exhaled it's invisible most of time. However it accumulates in the surrounding environment. At North Pole City much of the glitter in the snow is actually Elf Dust. The majority of Elves, including Santa Claus's Enchanted Elves, only breath the Helium in our atmosphere. This partly explains their comical low pitched voices. Helium composes a mere 0.000524% of our air as opposed to the Oxygen we breath which makes up 20.946%. Elfin cells paranormally process the Helium, and manufacture an Argon-Neon compound of Ar²Ne³ that is exhaled from their lungs. Scientifically such a compound could never exist but this is the world of the supernatural we're talking about here. That being said the second this rare gas hits the air it immediately breaks down to Argon, and Neon. These gases, famous for causing the glow of Neon lamps, emit a brief glow from the Elves nose, and mouth if viewed in complete darkness. In addition the exhaled Elf Dust will visibly shimmer in that moment as well.
Elf Dust, like Fairy Dust, is a prime ingredient in several magical spells. Elf Dust is used in powerful spells due to it being harder to come by
than the Fairy variety. Elf Dust on it's own can be manipulated to provide temporary powers. In some cases breathing it in, or eating it directly can cause supernatural side effects. Simply carrying it around is thought to bring good luck. Tossing it at an entity of evil often causes some measure of repellent properties. Elf Dust can come in a variety of colors that can produce a plethora of paranormal properties. Santa's Elves produce a multi-colored dust with emphasis on the red, gold, and green glitter. Genuine Elf or Fairy dust always emits it's own luminosity. However the metaphysical energy powering it dissipates over the centuries, and most varieties will dull after 1000 years. If you should come across Elf Dust then use it sparingly because you may never find any again!

Adding Customer Attribute Tutorial
In this tutorial, we will walk through the two different ways you can keep track of personalized attributes for your customers. We will demonstrate the easy way of simply storing the attributes in the customerAttributes object and the slightly more customized (but still easy) way of extending the Broadleaf CustomerImpl class. Also, please note that while we're going through extending a Customer in this tutorial, the same patterns apply for all Broadleaf provided objects.
Using the provided CustomerAttributes object
If you're only wanting to save off simple String values to be referenced later, the easiest way is to use the CustomerAttributes. This is exactly what we'll do to store a referral code on our Customer.
First, we need to modify the UI to pass in a referral code to our controller. We'll do that by extending the RegisterCustomerForm to carry our referral code along.
public class HCRegisterCustomerForm extends RegisterCustomerForm {
 public String referralCode;
 public String getReferralCode() {
 return referralCode;
 public void setReferralCode(String referralCode) {
 this.referralCode = referralCode;
Then, we need to modify RegisterController to initialize our extended form. If we look at the source of the parent BroadleafRegisterController, we can see that it initializes a RegisterCustomerForm and simply sets the customer object. Therefore, we can utilize the super method and just modify it slightly:
 public HCRegisterCustomerForm initCustomerRegistrationForm() {
 RegisterCustomerForm superForm = super.initCustomerRegistrationForm();
 HCRegisterCustomerForm form = new HCRegisterCustomerForm();
 return form;
Then, we can add the new field to ajax/register.html, right below the confirm password field:

 Referral Code

Note: We are not attaching any validation to this field. It is completely optional for the sake of this tutorial.
At this, point, when you click on Register, you should see your additional field:
Referral Code field
All that's left is to save our referral code into our customer. We want to do this if the registration was successful. So, in RegisterController, we want to modify the processRegister method to look like this:
String url = super.processRegister(registerCustomerForm, errors, request, response, model);
 if (url.equals(getRegisterSuccessView())) {
 // Grab the current customer from the request
 Customer newCustomer = CustomerState.getCustomer();
 // Create the referralCode CustomerAttribute
 CustomerAttribute referralCodeAttr = new CustomerAttributeImpl();
 // Update our customer object
 newCustomer.getCustomerAttributes().put("referralCode", referralCodeAttr);
 newCustomer = customerService.saveCustomer(newCustomer);
 // Place the new customer onto the request
return url;
It's as easy as that!

Pakistan's government is taking a bold step towards a cashless future with the introduction of a National Digital Wallet. Facilitated by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), this innovative initiative includes a digital rewards system. It will convert a percentage of utility and fuel bills into digital wallet credits, revolutionizing transactions and expanding digital horizons. The collaboration between NADRA and an Electronic Money Institution promises a significant leap in the nation's digitization journey.
The National Digital Wallet encourages digital transactions and rewards users with digital credits for utility and fuel bill payments, including telecommunication airtime credits. The government contemplates a 1% reward for digitally paying electricity, gas, and fuel bills. Additionally, users will receive a 10% reward (equivalent to Rs 100) for every Rs 1,000 airtime credit acquisition. The scheme may extend incentives for fuel and utility bill payments, fostering widespread adoption of digital transformation.
Designed to provide various amenities, the National Digital Wallet enables citizens to digitally hold and access their national ID on smartphones. Users will be rewarded for payments made through the platform. Implementation follows guidelines developed in collaboration with stakeholders, with formal approval pending from the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) and the cabinet.
A notable feature is the wallet's integration with different FinTech applications and services via OpenAI. NADRA, in collaboration with Karandaaz, will determine maintenance and usage charges. This initiative aims to boost cashless transactions and enhance financial inclusivity in Pakistan, leveraging digital identity and biometric technology.


- Question: Hellllllllllo! Just wondering if 1 cigarette takes off 11 minutes of someone's life the oldest person ever (Jeanne calment-122) smoked until she was well over 110. If she never smoked what are the chances of her living quite a while longer?
 Asked by amckeswick to Robyn on 19 Mar 2020.

 Robyn Kiy answered on 19 Mar 2020:
 This is a really interesting question that has made me stop and think!
 The statistic about 1 cigarette taking between 7 and 11 minutes off a life is an estimate of the average time a cigarette takes off a persons life. This doesn't mean that this will be the same for every person! Other elements such as lifestyle (e.g. diet and exercise) and genetics can influence the health of a person, and thus their life expectancy. For example, it is possible for someone who smokes 5 cigarettes a day but eats healthily, exercises regularly, and has a low-risk job to outlive a non-smoker who leads an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle (although this isn't guaranteed, of course!).
 It is likely that Jeanne Calment's genetics provided her with an element of protection from the dangers of smoking cigarettes.
 Based off the assumption that cigarettes reduce life expectancy, it may be possible that without smoking Jeanne would have lived longer! However, if Jeanne Calment was not susceptible to the damage caused by smoking, it may also be possible that never smoking would have no impact on the time of her death.
 Unfortunately, I couldn't predict the exact chances of her living longer if she hadn't smoked. However, as we know that smoking does reduce the life-expectancy of the average person, it is definitely possible that Jeanne Calment may have lived longer had she not smoked!

text: Genetic structure of 142 parent lines of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] was analyzed using model-based approach based on SSR markers. Forty-one selected from 103 SSR markers were used to analyze the parent lines, which generated 189 alleles revealed by each marker ranging from 2 to 11 with an average of 4.6 per marker. The polymorphic information content (PIC) value was 0.543 with a range of 0.089 to 0.850. All the parent lines were assigned to 7 subgroups, named Kafir, Kaoliang, Feterita, Shallu, Hegari, Milo and Durra. Parent lines without clear pedigree record were clustered into their corresponding groups, and genetic components of each line were estimated by Q-values. Information of this study would be useful for breeders to conclude their genetic background and select appropriate parents for germplasm improvement and hybrid breeding, and thus improve the efficiency of breeding programs.

generally known enough as to be common knowledge.
 VIEW HONOURS
 HONOURS
A typical honours would be as follows:
Lady Asteria, Watcher of the Heavens.
She is 140 years old, having been born on the 6th of Severin, year 89 of
the Midnight Age.
She is ranked 413th in Aetolia.
She is a Vagabond in the Fellowship of Explorers.
She is a member of the clan called 'The Ohmsford Clan'.
She has written a personal background.
She is considered to be approximately 50% of your might.
The first line shows the person's name and title. The second shows her
age, as well as the date that she was born. Next comes her overall rank
in Aetolia. This is based solely on the amount of experience she has
gained, and a full list of the experience rankings can be seen in
RANKINGS (or RANKINGS [#]).
Then is her rank in the Fellowship of Explorers. This is a measure of
how much of Aetolia she has explored - when you compare to HELP
EXPLORERS, she hasn't explored very much at all!
Afterwards come any clans she has joined, or that she might be in
possesion of, that are available to public view. She appears to be in a
family clan and nothing more, though there may be hidden ones!
The next line shows that she has written a background. If she were a
real character, you could VIEW BACKGROUND ASTERIA to try to read it.
After that is an approximation of her might compared to your own. This
is based solely on how many lessons both you and she have spent learning
your skills. Someone who is 0% your might has probably learned very
little, and someone who is 3000% your might obviously has spent a lot of
time on their backside learning.
You will find other information when using the command, but these are
the most common ones.

Field and laboratory analyses of pH, alkalinity, and specific conductance from water samples collected from the Columbia aquifer on the Delmarva Peninsula in eastern Maryland were compared to determine if laboratory analyses could be used for making regional water-quality interpretations. Kruskal-Wallis tests of field and laboratory data indicate that the difference between field and laboratory values is usually not enough to affect the outcome of the statistical tests. Thus, laboratory measurements of these constituents may be adequate for making certain regional water-quality interpretations, although they may result in errors if used for geochemical interpretations.

The Venus symbol (♀) is a depiction of a circle with a small cross below it. The symbol is historically associated with the Roman goddess Venus or the Greek goddess Aphrodite. It has a Unicode designation of U+2640, and is used in various media to represent things associated in some way with the mythological character, including:
- The female sex
- The planet Venus
- The chemical element copper
- Feminism in philosophy and sociology
- The female connector in a pair of mating connectors or fasteners
It is also believed by some to represent a hand mirror, with the top half of the symbol representing the actual mirror, and the bottom half representing the handle of the mirror.

Skip to content
You are reading the Teku development version documentation and some features may not be available in the stable release. You can switch to the stable version using the version box at the bottom of the screen.
Updated on November 18, 2020
Connect to a testnet
The following instructions describe the process to connect Teku to an Ethereum 2.0 testnet.
Important
This example connects to the Medalla testnet. If connecting to a different testnet (for example Pyrmont), update the --network option in the examples accordingly.
Networks can experience stability issues and are prone to regular resets. We recommend you regularly check network and client documentation for updates.
Prerequisites:
Teku allows you run a beacon chain client only, or you can run the beacon chain client with validators on a public testnet.
Run validators on a testnet
Ethereum 2.0 validators need to access an Ethereum 1.0 client to onboard new validators. Validators make deposits into Ethereum 1.0, and existing Ethereum 2.0 validators must process the deposits to allow the validators to join Ethereum 2.0.
Deposits are made into a deposit contract on the Goerli Ethereum 1.0 testnet.
The steps to run an Ethereum 2.0 validator on a testnet are:
 1. If using a local Ethereum 1.0 client, sync the Ethereum 1.0 network containing the deposit contract.
 Note
 This step is only required if using a local Ethereum 1.0 client such as Besu. If using a cloud-based service such as Infura, proceed to fund your deposit account.
 2. Fund the Ethereum 1.0 deposit account.
 3. Generate the validator keys and send the deposit to the deposit contract.
 4. Create a password file for each validator key.
 5. Start Teku with the validator keys.
Sync the Ethereum 1.0 network
This step is only required if using a local Ethereum 1.0 client.
This example uses Besu to connect to Ethereum 1.0, but any client can be used. Configure Besu to connect to Goerli and expose the RPC-HTTP APIs.
Example
besu --network=goerli --data-path=./goerli --rpc-http-enabled=true --rpc-http-port=8545 \
--rpc-http-api=ETH,NET,WEB3 --sync-mode=FAST --fast-sync-min-peers=2
Load the deposit account with ETH
You need an Ethereum 1.0 Goerli testnet account that contains the amount of Goerli ETH (plus gas) required to activate the validator. The medalla testnet requires 32 Goerli ETH per validator.
Tip
You can create an account on Goerli using Metamask, and use a faucet to fund the account. You can also request Goerli testnet ETH on the Medalla Discord channel.
Generate the validators and send the deposits
Use the Medalla Launchpad to guide you through a step-by-step process to generate your keys and send the deposits.
Note
Remember the passwords that you used to create the validator keys, because you need it to create the validator password files.
Create a password file for each validator key
For each validator key that you create, you need to create a text file containing the password to decrypt the key. The password file must have the same name as the key, but use the .txt extension.
Example
If the Launchpad creates a key named keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-_PHONE_.json, then the password must be named keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-_PHONE_.txt.
Start the validator
Run Teku and specify the validator key files created earlier, and the text files containing the password to decrypt the validator key.
Example
teku --network=medalla --eth1-endpoint=http://localhost:8545 \
--validator-keys=validator/keys/validator_888eef.json:validator/passwords/validator_888eef.txt \
--rest-api-enabled=true --rest-api-docs-enabled=true \
--metrics-enabled
Alternatively, use --validator-keys to specify the directory to load multiple keys and passwords from.
Example
teku --network=medalla --eth1-endpoint=http://localhost:8545 \
--validator-keys=validator/keys:validator/passwords \
--rest-api-enabled=true --rest-api-docs-enabled=true \
--metrics-enabled
Once the validator is activated, view it on the beacon chain explorer at _URL_
Run a beacon chain client only
You can run a Teku beacon chain node on a network without any validators.
Example
teku --network=medalla --metrics-enabled --rest-api-enabled --rest-api-docs-enabled
Add a beacon chain client to Eth2stats
You can add the beacon chain node to Eth2stats for monitoring.
Ensure you enable metrics using the --metrics-enabled option when starting Teku.

How motivations and satisfaction influence wine tourists' loyalty? An analysis of the Italian case
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this paper is to assess the "motivation-satisfaction-loyalty" framework. Through a structural equation model (SEM), it is possible to disentangle attitudinal and behavioral loyalty as a multifaceted latent variable. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical analysis is based on data collected in wineries located in two important wine destinations: Trentino and South Tyrol (Italy). Notably, the motivation–satisfaction relationship is confirmed, and the SEM has also assessed the importance of winery services in affecting loyalty, expressed in terms of "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" and "recommend wine routes." Findings: Destination managers should consider the wine-related "relaxation" as the main push motivation, while the interactions experience are important pull motivations to drive wine tourists' satisfaction. Nevertheless, the findings reveal that more proactive policies are needed to enhance local wines loyalty. Originality/value: The novelty of this study is to explore loyalty. In this respect, a multifaceted latent variable is expressed as follows: "buy local wines," "visit other cellars," "repeat a wine vacation" as behavioral attitudinal stated loyalty and "recommend wine routes" as attitudinal stated loyalty.

UTOPIA – Is climate smart forestry a utopia if the preferences of landowners are not considered?
Research Council of Finland, Funding from EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF)
UTOPIA – Is climate smart forestry a utopia if the preferences of landowners are not considered? The objective of the UTOPIA project is to develop methods to support stakeholders in implementing climate smart forestry, which advances carbon neutrality but also considers financial objectives. In the analysis, a landscape is composed of holdings and holdings are composed of stands. Holdings have typically different owners that have different preferences about what kind of management is practiced in their stands. We focus on supporting decision making in this setting and finding the most preferred solution among multiple conflicting objectives. University of Eastern Finland is in charge of the Work Package 2, aiming to identify to what extent the private ownership constrains climate smart forestry at the landscape-level, and to develop support solutions that produce climate benefits through negotiations between landowners. The project is funded by the Research Council of Finland and implemented in the Natural Resources Institute Finland, University of Eastern Finland and University of Jyväskylä.

National Trust reveals blossoming ambitions for city of culture as 'Project Blossom' starts to take root around UK
Coventry is the latest city to confirm plans for a new blossom garden as part of the National Trust and its partners' ambition to create hundreds of blossom spaces in urban areas across England, Wales and Northern Ireland over the next five years, to ensure more people have access to nature and green spaces. The charity and its partners also hope to create a UK-equivalent of Japan's world-famous Hanami (blossom viewing).
The new blossom garden in Charterhouse Heritage Park will mark Coventry's tenure as City of Culture. And, today, the locations and plans for blossom plantings in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth, first announced in February, have also been revealed.
The National Trust has also confirmed 46 new blossom projects which will be planted on the land in its care across the country over the next few months.
Supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery, CJ Wildlife and the National Trust, projects include: creating new orchards at Stourhead in Wiltshire and Antony in Cornwall; the creation of a new edible forest of fruit and nut trees circled with blossoming hedgerows at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire; a new avenue of flowering cherry trees at Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire; new blossoming trees to encourage people to explore different areas of the estate at Winston Churchill's home, Chartwell in Kent; 750 blossoming trees in the South Lakes to become the next generation of blossom trees in the area; replacing lost trees in the orchard at Crom in Northern Ireland and planting new blossom trees across the Gower and Brecon Beacons in Wales.
All plantings will help towards the Trust's ambitions to plant and establish 20 million trees by 2030 to help in the fight against climate change and to create more homes for nature. They will also help in its aim to help tackle unequal access to green space across Britain and build on the importance given to green spaces and nature during lockdown when thousands found time spent in nature beneficial not just for their physical health but mental wellbeing too.
Hilary McGrady, Director General of the National Trust said: "We've been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm from towns, cities and local communities around the country after our first blossom garden was unveiled in London this year. Bringing more blossom to cities and to National Trust landscapes is an important part of our plans to plant 20 million trees, give more homes to nature and help people connect with nature wherever they are.
"This project goes back to our roots and one of our founders' key desires – to ensure more people have beautiful spaces to enjoy."
In Coventry, the trees will be planted in the newly-created 70 acre Charterhouse Heritage Park. Members of the local community will be asked to share their thoughts on where the blossom garden should be located, its design and uses for the space.
Lucy Reid, National Trust Assistant Director of Operations for the Midlands, said: "We're delighted to be working with Historic Coventry Trust (HCT) to create what will be a special place for local people to spend time, reflect and connect with nature.
"The Charterhouse Heritage Park is a 70-acre site where land is being regenerated by Historic Coventry Trust to provide an important resource for community health and economic wellbeing on the edge of Coventry City Centre. A blossom garden will be a beautiful addition to the park and we hope to inspire and work closely with neighbours to leave a lasting legacy."
Ian Harrabin, Chairman, Historic Coventry Trust, said: "The landscape around Charterhouse has been important to the citizens of Coventry for many years, and the local community have come together to make sure that this space is an oasis for wildlife and people, and an area of calm and tranquillity on the edge of the bustling city.
"Historic Coventry Trust has been working in close partnership with the National Trust at Charterhouse over the last few years, and we are excited to work with them to develop this blossom garden to allow all to escape, refresh and reconnect with nature for many years to come."
In Newcastle, Urban Green Newcastle, working in partnership with the City Council and the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative, will plant 26 ancient varieties of cherry blossom tree, Prunus 'Tai-Haku' trees - at Exhibition Park, an area on the outskirts of the city close to the University and the hospital.
The plans are for a double avenue 'swirl' of blossom trees by the lake with a circular pathway.
Barbara Hooper, Director, Parks & Allotments at Urban Green Newcastle says: "We are delighted to be part of this wonderful initiative, which will allow us to create a beautiful space in the heart of our park which will, we hope, evoke a sense of wellbeing and calm. The location of the blossom circle will provide a real focal point, giving visitors a natural place to stop and take a moment to contemplate and embrace nature."
The sites in Nottingham will be planted at Lenton Recreation Ground, a popular and historic site 30 minutes from the city centre and St Mary's Rest Garden on the edge of the city adjacent to the popular Victoria park.
At Lenton recreation ground, 28 ornamental mature cherry trees will be planted along a new path through the park to give the area a new focal point.
Cllr Rosemary Healey, Lead Councillor for Parks and Open Spaces at Nottingham City Council says: "We hope to create a space for reflection and remembrance following the coronavirus pandemic.
"Our plans will also enable us to explore our wider ambition of tackling inequality in parks and to make them more appealing and safer for more people to enjoy."
Twenty ornamental, semi-mature cherry trees will be planted in an avenue style at St Mary's Rest Garden on the edge of the city centre, adjacent to the much-visited Victoria park.
Cllr Healey continues: "We hope to create a beautiful space for the local community where they can connect to nature.
"We know that trees absorb harmful pollution and can help reduce stress levels. This site based in Nottingham City Centre will create a peaceful sanctuary so that more people can enjoy moments of calm away from busy city life."
The Plymouth site will be located on the coast at Devil's Point, overlooking Plymouth Sound on the south-west coastal footpath which also has local significance due to being the place where families coming to wave off members going to sea on naval operations.
The trees will be planted in a semicircle design and will be used to highlight the blossoming meadows below the waves in the seagrass beds just offshore.
Councillor Patrick Nicholson, Deputy Leader of Plymouth City Council, said: "We are delighted to be a part of the blossom project which will create a people space for hope and reflection as we move forward from the pandemic.
"Our location on the waterfront at Devil's Point is already incredible, with community space to enjoy beautiful views and a host of other activities. That's why it's so great that with the addition of the blossom circle, we'll have a further pull for the area; and the chance to celebrate the beauty of spring and nature year after year."
Funding for the projects in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth has come in part from People's Postcode Lottery.
Laura Chow, Head of Charities said: "We're delighted funding raised by our players is supporting Blossom Together, an important initiative bringing people and communities together through nature spaces in Newcastle, Nottingham and Plymouth.
"It's also fantastic to see and hear more about the creative ideas for projects at various National Trust places across the country – and we're excited to see how these trees start to grow and bloom over the coming years, to bring joy to the many visitors to these places."

The Cone of Montmorency, as It Appeared in 1829, 1833 Cockburn, James Pattison etching and aquatint hand-coloured with watercolour and gum arabic on ivory wove paper 55.4 x 73.4 cm; plate: 51.8 x 70.7 cm
This picturesque winter view of the Montmorency Falls depicts a gathering of early Quebecers at the base of the sugar mountain. The snow-draped cone, which was formed by the Falls, attracted many visitors from Quebec and neighbouring areas. Both military personnel and the civilian population made it their goal to visit the site during their winter outings. Many used the occasion to slide down the slopes. Peter Patterson owned the buildings at the top of the hill and the two sawmills to the left.

This article explain the steps to install your XPY Doorbell.

Primary Steps
Installing the mounting bracket.
1. First choose the location to mount the doorbell camera, preferably one that offers the best viewing angle and Wi-Fi reception. If the Wi-Fi reception is weak, we recommend using a Range Extender or Powerline Adapter. Visit our website _URL_ to learn more about these types of products.
2. If wiring to an existing doorbell, make sure that the power source is 9-36V. Unscrew and remove the doorbell from the wall. Carefully disconnect the wires from the doorbell.
3. If dealing with 110/220V, use the provided power adapter or batteries to power up the XPY Bell.
4. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the three screw holes with a pencil.
5. If mounting the device on a stucco, brick or concrete wall, use a masonry bit to drill pilot holes in order to insert the anchors. On wood or drywall, you can skip this steps.
6. Drive the screws into the anchors or directly into the wall until they are flush with the mounting bracket, and the bracket is flat against the surface. Make sure all wires are properly guided through the middle of the bracket.

Powering your Doorbell
The doorbell has 3 different power configuration:
A. It can run independently on DC power from 4 AA batteries.
B. It can be plugged to an AC outlet using the provided power adapter.
C. It can be hardwired to an existing doorbell connection in your home of up to 36V at 600mA.
Option #1. Set up with the battery.
1. Unfasten the tamper-proof screw with the supplied tool.

2. Slide the battery compartment down and insert the 4 supplied AA batteries, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment and replace the tamper-proof screw.

Option #2. Set up with the AC Adapter.
1. With a phillips-head, remove the screws from the sea-proof backplate to expose the pin connection block.
2. If using the supplied AC adaptor, please note that the red and black DC cable comes preinstalled in the I/O terminal block, so as to make sure the correct polarity is observed.
3. Connect the power cable extending from the doorbell camera to the cable of the power adapter, making sure the plug is pushed all the way in.
4. Then plug the power adapter to an electrical outlet.

Option #3. Set up with an existing doorbell with a low voltage transformer.
Warning: It can only be connected to a low voltage transformer or power source with an electrical rating of 9-36V AC/DC. If wiring with an existing chime the power rating of the chime I/O port cannot exceed 24V.
1. Remove the preinstalled cable from the I/O terminal block on the back of the doorbell camera.
2. Insert the wires coming out of the wall that was originally connected to your existing doorbell to the I/O terminal block. If more than 2 wires are present a pair will be used to power the doorbell camera from the low voltage transformer and another pair will be used to wire the chime. Refer to the diagram below.

Hardwire power requierment: Maximum 36V AC/DC

Additional terminal wiring
1. Door Chime
To connect the device to an existing doorbell installation, follow the diagram below.
NOTE: Chime terminals can only support up to 24V AC/DC

What Does A Blue Light Mean On A Ring Camera?
Understanding a ring camera is not complicated. Everything is explained well in the user guide and also on their website. If you want to know what does a blue light mean on a Ring camera, this is the article for you.
Blue light can mean several things depending on different states. When the light is blinking rapidly, it means one thing, and when the light is solid, it means another thing. The good news is you will get everything stated clearly in the user manual.
If you want to know more about the blue light on your Ring camera, make sure to read the entire article.
What Does A Blue Light Mean On A Ring Camera?
The blue light on your Ring camera means different things. So, it's important to understand the state of the light. This way, you can understand what it means. Ring explains the meaning of the blue light on its website.
Blue Light StateWhat It Means
LED turned off (no light)Camera is idle
Slowly blinkingSetup mode
Solid lightStarting up or recording
Blinking on and off and then stays turned on for about two secondsFirmware update
Slow pulsing lightTwo-way speaker enabled
Blinking for five secondsSetup completed
Blinks for five seconds before rebootingFactory restore
How To Fix Blue Light Issues
If your Ring camera is flushing the light out of the ordinary, you may need to fix it. There are several fixes you can try to get rid of the irregular blue light activities. Let's take a look at them.
Follow Proper Instructions
When you're setting up your Ring camera for the first time, make sure to follow the instructions provided by the user manual. The procedure may not be similar for all models. So, it's a smart thing to check the instructions for individual models.
In addition, whenever a blue light is flashing, pulsating, or blinking, check what it means. For most situations, there will be an explanation of what it means. Nonetheless, if you can't find what it means, move on to the other fixes.
Check The Internet
Your Ring camera is entirely dependent on Wi-Fi. If something is wrong with the internet connection, the light may not behave the way it is supposed to. Check the internet connection strength and make sure that your camera is getting an uninterrupted network.
If you are interested in it, you can check our article on do you need Internet for a Ring camera.
Restart Your Ring App
Sometimes when you set your Ring app from scratch, any issues with the camera get fixed. So, if you're experiencing unusual activities with your Ring camera, try reinstalling the Ring app.
You can also reset your device to see if it helps.
Check The Power Outlet
If there's no blue light at all, this can also be a sign of a problem. Check if the device is getting power. In case the outlet is faulty, it can also mess with the blue light. Sometimes when the power gets connected and disconnected over and over again, the blue light will not behave as it is supposed to.
It's easy to check if the power outlet is working fine or not. You can unplug the camera and connect something else to the outlet. If the device is not running without interruption, you may have to plug the Ring device into another outlet.
Contact Ring Support
The last thing you can do is to reach out to the brand itself. All devices are unique and can experience different types of issues. So, if nothing you do fixes the camera, the best option is to reach out to customer support.
The good news is, you will get prompt responses from the brand. In addition, they'll offer you specific solutions applicable to your Ring device. They can also help you with something that you don't understand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What does a red light mean on a Ring camera?
The red light of your Ring camera is an indicator of when something goes wrong. For instance, if the password is incorrect, you will notice the red light flashing. The same goes for when the setup fails. The red light also indicates that there is no internet connection available.
Q. How to get rid of the blue light on a Ring camera?
Many people are not comfortable with the blue and the red light occasionally turning on and off. It can be irritating to a lot of people. The good news is, if you don't want the light to bother you, there's a little hack you can use.
Take black tape and cut it into a very small square. The tape should be just large enough to cover the blue light. Because the surrounding area of the Ring camera is black, no one will be able to differentiate it.
It will help you get rid of the light. However, it's not recommended. The light is there to let you know what your device is doing. Covering it will only make it inconvenient for you to figure out what's going on.
Q. How to know what model of a Ring device I have?
The easiest way to find out is to use the user manual. If you don't have access to that, you can also use your Ring app to see what model you are currently using. Click on the three-dot button, tap on devices, go to device health, and then see device details. The name will be there.
Final Words
Hopefully, we've answered all your questions about what a blue light means on a Ring camera. If you're experiencing something you don't understand, the primary solution is to reach for the user manual.
When the manual fails to help you, you can try a few basic fixes, like resetting the device and the internet connection. In case none of them are working, you can always reach out to Ring customer support to solve the issue.

Hi, I have some questions I was hoping someone could answer. I am trying to model a sandwhich structure with carbon fibre skins and aluminium honeycomb core and then perform a 3 point bending test in the software if possible. 1. Could someone please explain what the reason is for selecting PCOMPP, PSOLID etc, what are the reasons for choosing one of them over another? 2. Which compersite property: PCOMPP, PSOLID, PSHELL, etc, do I need to select for the task I want to achieve (3-point bending simulation)? 3. Another question relates to my understanding of the MAT 8 card....would I be correct in saying that as MAT8 only asks for the in-plane properties, it would not be possible to get proper results for a 3-point bending test in the software? (Or does the software still work this out?) 4. Would I need to use the MAT9 card for what I am trying to do and in that case what composite property do I select, PCOMPP, PSOLID, PSHELL, etc? 4. If I select for example PCOMPP for the honeycomb properties, do I have to select PCOMPP for the carbon fibre skin properties? Regards
Good morning, I'm trying to change the material orientation in a component. I tried in different way to do the 3D mesh and I tried to use different properties. The geometry is a simple hollow cylinder. I'm using Hypermesh 2017.3. The material is defined as MAT9ORT. To check the material orientation I used Analysis->Systems->Material Orientation. Mesh methods: Method 1: 3D mesh done by using Drag elements along the cylinder axis. The material orientation is along the plane perpendicular to the cylinder axis; Method 2: 3D mesh by using 3D->Element Offset->Solid Layers. The material orientation is along the cylinder axis; Method 3: 3d mesh by converting a ply laminates using the Aerospace tool "Shell to Solid". The material orientation respected the orientation angle given during the plies creation. These material orientations remain valid only without any property assigned. When I assign a property, the orientation changes without an apparent logic. Properties: Prop. 1: PCOMPLS: modifying the THETA angle in the property card didn't cause any modification in the material orientation; Prop. 2: PSOLID: when assigned to the component, the material orientation change the direction randomly and doesn't respond to any modifications with material orientation tool.

Dishing it out
The woman, with two children at her side, is breast-feeding an infant. She may symbolise the act of Charity. The figurine is an example of one of the more decorative pieces produced by the porcelain factory in Bow. The piece dates from the middle of the 1750s.
The Bow Porcelain factory was founded at Stratford in 1747. Bow porcelain was created to compete with the popular imported oriental porcelain. But it soon established its own market within Britain. Unlike London's other main porcelain factory of the time at Chelsea, Bow focused on wares for everyday use such as cups and bowls. These were decorated in blue and white patterns imitating oriental designs.
Centre for industry
With its location east of London, on the banks of the River Lea, Bow was well-situated for deliveries of raw materials. Other factories nearby included a calico-printing works.

Historic England has awarded a grant of £400,000 towards the repair of Grade I listed Becket's Chapel in Wymondham.
The chapel, dedicated to St Thomas à Becket, is thought to have been founded in the late 12th century by the son of William d'Aubigny, founder of Wymondham Abbey. The current building dates to 1300 to 1350, when the chapel was rebuilt. It is a rare survival of an independent medieval chapel.
In 1559, the chapel was converted to a school. For some time in the 17th century, a lock-up for unconvicted prisoners was attached to the building and remained in place until at least 1848. In 1873, the building was restored and used as a public hall, before becoming a school once more. More recently it was used as the Wymondham branch library and then the town's arts centre.
Becket's Chapel was added to Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register in 2018. Urgent repairs are needed to the roof, gutters, drainage and masonry. The restoration of the structure and fabric of the building is essential to ensure its survival.
Trudi Hughes, Heritage at Risk Surveyor at Historic England, said: "I'm delighted that, working with Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust and funding partners, we've found a way to save and repair this remarkable medieval chapel using traditional repairs and techniques combined with measures to reduce dampness and improve its carbon footprint.
"This striking building has such a story to tell, having had a fascinating and varied history. It's wonderful that this gem of a building will once again be at the heart of its local community and attracting visitors to this historic market town hopefully for many years to come."
The building will be purchased by Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust (NHBT). Entirely self-financing and largely run by volunteers, the trust conserves and promotes Norfolk's built heritage. It plans to repair and improve the chapel to become a local community hub, run by Wymondham Arts Forum, and to promote Wymondham as a heritage destination for visitors.
Historic England previously contributed grant funding of £51,000 for project development work on the chapel, partnering development grants of £45,000 from the Architectural Heritage Fund.
Funding for the project has also been pledged by the Architectural Heritage Fund, Norwich Freemans Charity, The Pilgrim Trust, The Headley Trust and Geoffrey Watling Charity.
Judith Harwood, Chair of Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust, said: "We are delighted to have secured the funding for the first phase of this exciting project to repair and upgrade Becket's Chapel. This extraordinary chapel, right in the heart of the historic centre of Wymondham, is of significant architectural and historical importance. We are relieved that its future can now be assured for the benefit of the local community through the generous support of our funders.
"This is a ground-breaking project which supports the drive to net zero by incorporating insulation, locally sourced materials where possible and, we hope, in the second phase, powered by renewable energy."

The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne (novel)
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne is a 1905 British novel written by William John Locke. A young woman is kept in a Turkish harem with an arranged marriage to a man she does not love. Instead she escapes with a British adventurer and goes to live in London. Along with his next book, The Beloved Vagabond, it was a major success.
In 1907 the novel was adapted by Locke into a play. In 1915 the first silent version was made with Marie Doro who starred in the 1907 play. In 1921 a silent film adaptation was made. In 1935 Miles Mander directed The Morals of Marcus, with Ian Hunter in the title role.


text: When the washing machine is loaded, the displacement sensor DRA measures how much the outer drum drops. It also measures the drum's deflection during spin-drying. Due to the inductive measurement principle, the sensor provides absolute position measuring for static and dynamic processes. Operation and the washing result are optimized by the load measurement. The displacement sensor provides an output signal proportional to the weight. This permits full utilization of the drum volume and helps to determine the required amount of detergent.


Continuous Subarray Sum
We can solve this problem by using a hashmap to store the remainder of the sum up to the current index when divided by k. If we find the same remainder again at a different index, it means there is a subarray whose sum is a multiple of k. This happens because the subarray sum between the two indices with the same remainder will be a multiple of k.
Let's look at the code:

class Solution:
 def checkSubarraySum(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> bool:
 remainder_map = {0: -1} # Map to store remainder and its corresponding index
 sum_so_far = 0
 for i, num in enumerate(nums):
 sum_so_far += num
 remainder = sum_so_far % k
 # If the remainder is already in the map and the distance between indices is at least 2
 if remainder in remainder_map and i - remainder_map[remainder] > 1:
 return True
 # If it's the first time we have seen this remainder, store the index
 if remainder not in remainder_map:
 remainder_map[remainder] = i
 return False
Explanation:
 - Initialize the remainder_map with 0 mapped to -1 to handle cases where the sum of the elements is exactly a multiple of k.
 - Iterate through the array, calculating the sum so far and its remainder when divided by k.
 - If the remainder is found in the map and the distance between indices is at least 2, return True.
 - Otherwise, store the index for the current remainder if it's the first time encountering that remainder.
This code checks if the given array has a subarray where the sum of the elements is a multiple of k, following the constraints provided.
Identifying Problem Isomorphism
"Continuous Subarray Sum" can be mapped to "Subarray Sum Equals K".
"Continuous Subarray Sum" asks to check if the array has a continuous subarray of size at least 2 that sums up to a multiple of a given number.
"Subarray Sum Equals K" requires finding the total number of continuous subarrays that sum up to a specific value K.
Both deal with the concept of continuous subarray sums. However, "Continuous Subarray Sum" introduces an additional condition of the sum being a multiple of a certain number.
"Subarray Sum Equals K" is simpler, as it only requires finding a sum K, without the added complexity of the sum needing to be a multiple of a specific number.

Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Editing a firmware file in a hexadecimal, or hex, editor can allow you to modify a device's behavior. For example, you can change the speed of manufacturing equipment or enable hidden features on a router or cell phone by editing their firmware files. Editing the values of a file by using a hexadecimal editor can be daunting due to the fact that such a program displays cryptic raw machine code. It is therefore crucial to properly learn how to navigate through the file within the editor before attempting to edit its contents.
HxD
1. Download the ZIP archive containing HxD from the MH-Nexus.de website.
2. Double-click on the downloaded archive to open it.
3. Launch the installation program by double-clicking on the "Setup.exe" file.
4. Click on "Next," read the license terms and, if you accept them, click on "I accept" and click on "Next" three times.
5. Select "Install" and wait for the program to finish the installation process.
6. Launch HxD and click on "File." Select "Open" and use the file browser to locate the firmware file on your hard drive.
7. Locate the hexadecimal value that you wish to edit. HxD's interface, like the one of other similar hex editors, has three distinct panes – the left pane which contains the address of the hex values, the middle one with the hexadecimal values themselves and the right-hand one which contains the ASCII, or standard text, translation of the hexadecimal values. Most websites, when giving instructions on how to edit a specific firmware file, list the address of the hexadecimal values that should be modified. Find that address by using either the editor's built-in search tool or by scrolling down. You can access the search tool by opening the "Search" menu and selecting "Find."
8. Click on the hexadecimal value you want to change and type a new value.

If you've done a dab, you've been there. You hit the concentrate and inhale that sweet, potent, goodness and your lungs decide it's a great time to try and jump out of your throat. So you're sitting there, hacking up a lung with your eyes watering, wondering how you can prevent this in the future. There are actually ways to control coughing after you dab. In theory, this could also apply to smoking as well, but here are 5 things I've found helpful to control coughing.
1. Always have something to drink handy
Cannabis is a throat irritant when inhaled and an irritated throat is one of the main reasons people cough. Your body is trying to expel whatever it thinks is making your throat feel weird. So, to solve this, have a drink handy. Water and tea are especially helpful for calming down a coughing fit. Just take a sip right after you exhale. Some people even suggest taking a sip while you hold the vapor. It sounds messy, but I bet if you could master it it'd be helpful.
2. Deep Breaths
If I know I'm about to take a giant glob, I take a couple of deep breaths before I do it. I release all the air from my lungs and then refill them, repeating the process until I inhale my hit. Taking those deep breaths allowed my lungs to expand some to prepare for the deep breath I was about to take. Since my lungs could then accommodate it, I find myself exhaling normally more than actually coughing.
3. Dab more, but in smaller amounts
This one is two fold. If you want to avoid coughing, dab more. I know that seems counterintuitive, but since concentrated cannabis is a throat irritant, smoking more of it would help your body group a resistance to the irritating effects. The second part, dabbing smaller amounts, is equally as important. Dabbing is not a contest about who could take more. You end up wasting concentrate like that. Dabbing a smaller amount means there's less vapor to make you cough. You may even get more high because you're able to properly take the hit with smaller amounts.
4. Cool down your dabs
In order for you to take dabs with a rig, the heating of the nail is crucial. The downside to this, however, is the heat is also a throat irritant. If the dabs come off of the nail a little cooler, they may not irritate your throat as much. You could possibly even consider moving from a titanium nail to a lower heat nail like quartz or ceramic.
Dab on!

SceneView memory resources
The amount of memory available in the SceneView to display features and terrain depends on a number of factors, such as the device, but also the specified qualityProfile. In complex scenes the SceneView may reach this memory limit. To prevent browser crashes and slow performance, it will reduce the amount of data rendered. This sample shows how to use SceneView.performanceInfo to get information about memory consumption in a scene. Such information can be useful to scene creators and application developers working with webscenes.
PerformanceInfo.usedMemory shows an estimation of how much memory the SceneView is currently using. When this value approaches the totalMemory, then the Quality is reduced. This will reduce the level of detail for scene layers, lower the tile resolution for tiled layers, and reduce the number of features for feature layers.
SceneView.performanceInfo.layerPerformanceInfos contains information about memory consumption for each of the layers in the scene. displayedNumberOfFeatures gives information about how many features are currently displayed in the view. The property maximumNumberOfFeatures shows how many features could be displayed in the SceneView. The maximumNumberOfFeatures property available on FeatureLayer, CSVLayer, GeoJSONLayer and point SceneLayer can be used to override the default value and display more features even if there isn't enough memory. High values could however lead to the browser running out of memory.

Camphor, Alexander Priestly
Methodist Episcopal Church
Alexander Priestly Camphor was an African American missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was born to slave parents in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. They died while he was a small child, and he was adopted and raised by Stephen Priestly, a white Methodist minister. Camphor was educated in Methodist Freedmen's Aid schools, established in the South after the American Civil War. In 1887 he was graduated from New Orleans University. He taught mathematics there for four years and organized the Friends of Africa Society. He was graduated from Gammon Theological Seminary in 1895, after which he did postgraduate work at Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary, New York. Camphor and his wife, Mamie (Weathers), whom he married in 1893, were commissioned by the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1896 as missionaries to Liberia. He served as superintendent of Methodist schools in Liberia from 1896 to 1907. He also served as president of the College of West Africa (formerly Monrovia Seminary) until 1907, when he and his wife returned to America, where they remained for nine years. In 1916 he was elected the last missionary bishop for Liberia of the Methodist Episcopal Church and he returned there for three years. He died in South Orange, New Jersey.

Regarding liquid nitrogen, although more and more widely used, we ordinary people have begun to contact liquid nitrogen-related items. So can liquid nitrogen be in direct contact with food? Will no toxic substances be produced after contact with food?
In fact, the temperature of liquid nitrogen is about minus 80 degrees Celsius, and we generally use it to store human cell specimens, which can keep the cell activity and the RNA inside it from being degraded.
After exposure to air, it will quickly volatilize and biochemically form nitrogen into the air. Although direct contact with food does not produce toxic substances, it cannot be eaten anymore and is frozen.
The mystery of many foods is liquid nitrogen at -196°C. The frozen taste and coldness of the freezer are very different.
Liquid foods are generally used for more expensive foods, and dry ice is cheaper (lower cost, much less loss, but only -78.5 °C). The transportation industry uses dry ice for storage. Liquid nitrogen is liquid. Dry ice is solid. The seal will explode, causing great loss in the seal. If the western food shop and the expensive ice cream shop use dry ice for cooking, it would be too profitable.
In the case of liquid nitrogen, when the cells are thawed, the cell mechanism is directly ruptured due to the increase in the volume of water in the cells. It seems that this is really good for ice cream. It is said that the ice cream needs less bubbles inside, just like liquid nitrogen.

A quick tour of managing intermediate data
When a model is run, output data is created for each process in the model. Some of this output data is only created as a middle step to connect to other processes that will create the final output. The data generated from these middle steps, called intermediate data, is often (but not always) of no use once the model has finished running. You can think of intermediate data as temporary scratch data that should be deleted after the model has run. However, when you run a model from the ModelBuilder window, intermediate data is not deleted—it is up to you to delete it.
All the data variables except existing data and the final output variables are automatically marked as intermediate in a model. To determine if a data variable in a model is considered intermediate or change the status of a variable that is intermediate, right-click the variable and click Intermediate to either add or remove the check mark next to it.
To prevent the final output variables from being deleted, It is strongly recommended that you do not set the final output variable as intermediate data.
Controlling where intermediate data is written
Geoprocessing tools that create new output datasets autogenerate the name of the output dataset (as described in Using the current and scratch workspace environments). This autogenerated name includes the path to the workspace or folder containing the dataset. ModelBuilder uses this autogenerated output name for writing intermediate data. You can always override this output dataset name by entering another name and location for the output dataset, and there are ways you can specify the workspace used to construct the autogenerated output name.
When you're working in ModelBuilder, it is easy to ignore this autogenerated output name, especially for intermediate data. But there are situations where you want to control where intermediate data is written.
- You never want to write intermediate data to an ArcSDE geodatabase. This causes performance problems since you are writing temporary scratch data to an enterprise database across a local area network. It's suggested that you always use a file geodatabase (rather than a personal geodatabase or a shapefile workspace) for the scratch workspace.
- You want to avoid cluttering a working geodatabase with intermediate data. Rather, you should designate another workspace, preferably a file geodatabase, where intermediate data is written.
To control where intermediate data is written, you can do one of the following:
- Right-click all intermediate data variables and change the location where they are written. This is a poor choice, especially if you have a lot of intermediate data.
- Set the scratch workspace environment as described in Setting current and scratch workspace environments.
- Make your intermediate data managed data, as described in Making intermediate data managed data.
For an in-depth discussion of intermediate data, especially as it pertains to model tools that you are sharing or publishing to ArcGIS Server, see Managing intermediate data in shared models.

Bolstered by the community's embracement of the first two phases of Substancial, the opportunity emerged to explore the initial concept and intentions of the piece in further detail. Substancial Phase 4 reflects the origins of the hudson river Health Center as a grassroots project and ties into the later emergence of the concept of the health center as a network of service providers which originates from the the flagship Health Center in Peekskill NY. Since the Health Center's inception in 1975, 14 additional facilities have been created in different counties throughout NY State. Substancial Phase 4 incorporates this idea of the relationship between potentiality and movement with it's dense accumulation of lanterns which convey a sense of potential energy and expanding mass in an explosion of light and form along the length of the façade of the health center.

I'm new from Illustrator and I am missing a few features - primarily the "rubber band" visual which allows you to see the path you're drawing as you drag the cursor to a new point. Also I was wondering if there was any plugin which turned the pen tool into something like the curvature pen tool in AI - where it by default puts down curved nodes instead of corner ones? Thanks!
Glyphs works differently in this regard to Illustrator. Click to add a straight segment; click and drag to add a curved segment. This is also why a rubber band preview would not work in Glyphs: Illustrator defaults to adding curved segments, but since in Glyphs a new segment can be either straight or curved, there is no single segment to preview as you move your mouse pointer.
It doesn't have to be like a rubberband tool. It can be just a dotted-straight line from the previous anchor to the pen just to gauge where we are placing the next anchor.
It can also act as feedback to know if the pen tool is making a new path or continuing the previous path. i.e. if there is a dotted line connected between the curser and the previous anchor, it will mean we are continuing the path, and the absence of it shows it's a new path.

Probably somewhere near Tokyo.
'Somewhere' is a non-specific place. In the example, we are talking about a place near Tokyo, but we don't know the exact location. We can use this word to give a general location. Notice the following:
 1. Do you want to go somewhere with beaches for vacation?
 2. She lives somewhere near the post office.
Would you buy a house in the city or the country?
'Country' is the opposite of the city. It is a place where there are animals, trees, farms, rivers, and many other natural things. Notice the following:
 1. He lived in the country until he was 15 years old.
 2. On the weekends, we go to our house in the country.
further out
Well, a little further out of the middle of Tokyo.
If a place is a greater distance away from the middle of Tokyo then it is 'further out.' We use this word to talk about distance away from something important, like a city. Notice the following:
 1. Every day she swam a little further out from the side of the pool.
 2. I thought you lived further out than this.
Some place not too crowded.
If a place is 'crowded' it has a lot of people in it. Usually in crowded places it is difficult to move because of all the people. Notice the following:
 1. The bar was too crowded and there was no place to sit.
 2. I thought the concert would be really crowded, but there weren't a lot of people there at all.
outside dog
Well, maybe a dog, but an outside dog.
An 'outside dog' is a dog that lives outside of the house, maybe in a small dog house or a kennel. This would be a dog that could live in different types of weather, rain or snow. Notice the following:
 1. Because our dog is so big he has to be an outside dog.
 2. We have an outside dog to protect the house.

What are male dogs called?
Dogs are of course one of the most popular pets in the world and have been for centuries. Pets bring us companionship, love, and joy, and dogs especially are known for being loyal and protective of their families. But there's one thing about dogs that sometimes confuses people: why are male dogs called "dogs" while female dogs are called "bitches"?
The answer is actually quite simple. The word "dog" is derived from the Old English word "docga" which was used to refer to both male and female dogs. Over time, the word "docga" morphed into the word "dog" which we use today. Meanwhile, the word "bitch" comes from the Old English word "bicce" which means "female dog". So essentially, the two words have just been used to refer to male and female dogs respectively for centuries.
Of course, some people do use the word "dog" to refer to both male and female dogs, but generally speaking, "bitch" is used specifically for female dogs. So next time you're wondering what to call your male or female dog, you now have the answer!
What's the scientific name for a male dog?
A male dog is called a "sire." The scientific name for a female dog is "dam."
Is sire a male or female dog?
Is sire a male dog? – Yes, the term "sire" is generally used to refer to a male dog.
How do you say female dog?
The answer may surprise you.
Most people think that the word "bitch" is simply a female version of the word "dog." However, this couldn't be further from the truth! The word "bitch" actually has a number of different meanings, both positive and negative.
For example, a "bitchy" person is someone who is often mean or rude to others. However, a "bitchin' party" is an awesome time! As you can see, the word "bitch" can have two very different meanings.
So, how do you say female dog? The answer is actually quite simple – "she-dog" or "bitch." It's really that easy!
What is the number 1 dog name?
We all know that dogs are man's best friend. They are there for us when we need them and always make us laugh. But what is the number one dog name?
According to a recent study, the number one dog name in the United States is "Bella." This name was given to an estimated 14 percent of all dogs in the country.
The second most popular dog name is "Max," which was given to 10 percent of all dogs. Other popular names include "Charlie," " Bailey," and "Lucy."
So, there you have it! The next time you are looking for the perfect name for your new furry friend, you can't go wrong with "Bella."
Is a dog called AB * * * *??
No, a dog called AB is not a horse.
What dog can kill a lion?
The most common dogs that can kill a lion are the Central Asian Ovcharka, the Cane Corso, and the Presa Canario. Some other breeds include the Dogo Argentino, the Tosa Inu, and the Boerboel. All of these breeds have been bred for physical strength and size. They are all powerful dogs with muscular build and large jaws.
When it comes to a fight between a dog and a lion, the outcome will largely depend on the size of the dog and the size of the lion. A large dog like a Tosa Inu or a Boerboel is more likely to be able to kill a lion than a smaller dog like a Cane Corso. The biggest factor in a dog's ability to kill a lion is its size and strength.
However, there are other factors that come into play. The age of the lion and the health of the lion are both important factors. A young, healthy lion is going to be more dangerous than an old, sickly lion. The same is true of a dog. A young, healthy dog is going to be more dangerous than an old, sickly dog.
Another factor to consider is the environment. If the dog and the lion are fighting in an open area, the lion is going to have a significant advantage. Lions are built for running and they can use their speed and agility to their advantage. Dogs, on the other hand, are not built for running. They are built for short bursts of speed. This means that a dog is going to have a difficult time chasing down a lion in an open area.
The final factor to consider is the number of dogs. If one dog is fighting a lion, the lion is going to have a significant advantage. But if two or three dogs are fighting a lion, the dogs are going to have a better chance of winning. This is because lions are designed to take down large prey by themselves. They are not used to fighting multiple opponents.
So, to answer the question, "What dog can kill a lion?" the answer is any large, strong dog. But the outcome of the fight will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of the dog, the size of the lion, the age of the lion, the health of the lion, the environment, and the number of dogs.
Are dogs a species?
No, dogs are not a species. They are a domesticated subspecies of the gray wolf and are classified as Canis lupus familiaris.
What is the male version of Karen?
The male version of Karen is Kevin. Like Karen, Kevin is usually entitled and demands things go his way. He is often rude and obnoxious, and does not hesitate to throw his weight around. Kevin is the kind of guy who will cut in line, blare his music, and generally make a nuisance of himself. If you're looking for a party-pooping killjoy, Kevin is your man.
What does sired mean in dogs?
The term "sired" simply means that a male dog is the father of a puppy. In other words, the male dog's sperm fertilized the female dog's egg, and the result was a pregnancy. So, when you see the term "sired" in relation to puppies, it simply means that their father was the one who impregnated their mother.
Why is dog an insult?
Dogs have been called "man's best friend" for centuries, and there's a reason for that. They're loyal, they're loving, and they're always there for us when we need them. But for some reason,dog has become an insult.
When someone calls you a "dog," they're usually trying to say that you're worthless, or that you're not good enough. It's a way of putting you down, and it's definitely not a compliment.
So why is dog an insult? There's no one answer to that question. It could be because dogs are seen as lower creatures on the totem pole, or it could be because humans have been competeing with dogs for resources for centuries. Whatever the reason, it's not a nice thing to say to someone.
Why is a female dog called AB * * * *??
A female dog is called a bitch because she is the mother of all dogs. She gives birth to litters of puppies, who are then raised by their father. A bitch is also a term used to describe a woman who is considered to be promiscuous or sexually loose.
What does it mean to dog a girl?
It means to have sex with her without her consent.


Is this plan going to affect the Township's schools?
The vision plan will not have a direct impact on schools. School officials have been part of this process to determine any concerns or needs of the district. In particular, Middle School, High School and Washington School officials have all been directly interviewed by Perkins Eastman, because of their proximity to and student usage of the downtown. If there are any recommendations for development, residential or commercial, the Township will carefully weigh any potential impact on the school system.

Piece of cloth or cloth pouch
- Midsummer herbs
- Piece of red string or yarn
- Midsummer flowers
- Gold or yellow robe, shirt or dress
- Yellow or gold candle
- Summer fruit
Prepare for the Summer Solstice ritual by gathering a piece of cloth or cloth pouch and midsummer herbs. Use any combination of sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, lavender, Saint John's wort and vervain that appeals to you. Meditate on your pain, troubles, sorrows and illnesses. Tie up the cloth or pouch with a red string or yarn and save it for the ritual.
Think about the qualities of fire because the Summer Solstice ritual is a fire ritual. Contemplate what you need protection from (debt-collectors, a jealous friend, an abusive family member). Write down in what aspects of your life you need strength because the Summer Solstice ritual is a time to gather courage.
Collect flowers for your Summer Solstice ritual that are golden yellow, deep red, white, pink and purple. Whatever you wear, choose a gold or yellow color to honor the sun. Use a gold or yellow candle to represent the god in ritual.
Cook dishes with midsummer herbs such as basil, sage, thyme and rosemary. Tomato soup or sauce, with its fiery red color, is suitable for the season. Eat fresh fruit or fruit salad at the close of the ritual for a sweet end to summer.
Set up your altar with your summer flowers, golden candle, pouch of herbs and any other tools you wish to use and cast the circle. At the point most suitable to you during your Summer Solstice ritual, hold the pouch of herbs in both hands. Mentally pour all your troubles, sorrows and pain into it. At the end of the ritual, bury the pouch deep in the ground.
