Laser Cutting With Rayjet 300 & Adobe Illustrator
Introduction: Laser Cutting With Rayjet 300 & Adobe Illustrator
A method for cutting/engraving designs using Adobe Illustrator and the RayJet 300.
Step 1: Fire It Up!
Turn on the laser (switch is on the back of the machine) and place your stock material on the cutting table
Step 2: Import or Create a Design
While you can certainly create a design to laser within Illustrator, I decided to export a face from a part I was designing in Fusion 360 as a .dxf file. (Laser cutting your parts is WAY faster than 3D printing and can be WAY more accurate).
If you load in a design, make sure the scaling is "1:1" and the units match up. I tend to not center my imported parts because I often have to move them around anyway.
Step 3: Prepare Your Design
We need to adjust a few things on the design so that the laser behaves the way we want. Specifically, we need to make sure that the line color and stroke size are set in such a way that the laser's control software knows to cut along these lines--as opposed to engraving.
As pictured above, set your stroke color to Red and your stroke size to 0.03mm --the RayJet will only cut along "hairlines" such as 0.03mm
**Note, if you were both cutting and engraving within the same design, you would set any engraving line's stroke color to Black
Step 4: Export Your Design
Save your design as a PDF file and put it on a USB drive so that you can load it onto the computer acting as a control for the laser. (skip this step if you are designing and controlling the laser from the same machine)
Step 5: Send Design to Laser
Open you PDF file in Acrobat Reader. Click on "Print" and select the "Properties" button.
Step 6: Laser Properties
When you click on "Properties" a menu with many options appears. Make sure that the following are set:
-Material Thickness
Under the "Red" tab (you may add more tabs):
-Power 100%
-Speed 1% ...for engraving this can be faster, but cutting needs to be very slow.
If you were using multiple colors for different types of cut/engraving, you would adjust each accordingly. For example, if you needed to engrave Black lines you would switch the settings under it's tab to "engrave" "power: 90%", and "speed: 10%"
Step 7: Finalize Settings
In the next menu screen, the default settings tend to work well. Just make sure check the box for "Cutting Table" if you have one in.
Finally, look over the settings in the last menu screen and hit "Process" in the bottom right-hand corner to apply the setting to the job.
Lastly, hit "Print" back in Acrobat Reader and you're good to go!
Step 8: Enjoy the Magic of LASERS!

Lake Medlow Dam
Lake Medlow Dam
Located about 110 kilometres west of Sydney, Lake Medlow Dam is on Adams Creek, between Katoomba and Blackheath.
Believed to be one of the thinnest dam walls in the world (only 106 centimetres wide at the top), the dam is located between Katoomba and Blackheath. It was the first of the dams built as part of the development of the upper Blue Mountains.
Today it still supplies water to the middle and upper Blue Mountains. The dam is not open to the public.
Height: 20 m
Length: 38 metres
Total storage capacity: 326 ML
Lake: 5 ha
Catchment: 5 square kilometres
Lake Medlow Dam history
Originally known as Adams Creek Dam, Lake Medlow Dam was built in 1907 on Adams Creek. It was the first of the water supply dams built as part of the development of the Upper Blue Mountains.
It was the first concrete thin arch, high stress dam built in NSW. Only 274 centimetres wide at the bottom and 106 centimetres at the top, it is one of the thinnest dams in the world and created considerable controversy when it was completed.
The Institution of Engineers, Australia placed a historic engineering marker on the dam in 1994. The National Trust and Blue Mountains City Council have registered the dam on their heritage list.
The completion of Lake Medlow Dam was a significant step in providing a reliable water supply for Medlow Bath, Blackheath and surrounding areas. Today, the dam supplies water via the Cascade dams to the Cascade water filtration plant, which provides water to the middle and upper Blue Mountains.

Redisigning the Strategic Managment System in a Time of Fiscal Crisis in Lithuania
Keywords:public management reform, case study of Lithuania, fiscal crisis
AbstractThe aim of the article is to discuss different strategies of managing fiscal crisis and concomitant PM reforms to support austerity measures in Lithuania, underlining strategic management component in particular. The case study of Lithuania is presented and analysed seeking to distil some important conclusions and lessons learned. The Lithuanian government took the following approach to reform the strategic management system in a time of fiscal crisis: introduced effective mechanism to implement policy priorities, changed the way the budgets are allocated from appropriations to budgets based on results and priorities and attempted to enhance results based culture via reform of the civil service system. The Lithuanian government decided on a small handful of policy priorities and was relatively successful at establishing an effective mechanism for the formulation and implementation of these priorities, however, the efforts to introduce senior civil service as an important target group for advancing coordination and overcoming sectorial boundaries was not successful.

The surname Fellbrygge was derived from Felbrigg, a small village just south of Cromer in Norfolk
. The place dates back to the Domesday Book
where it was part of the North Erpingham Hundred
and named Felebruge. The name was derived from the Old Norse "fjol" + the Old English word "brycg" and meant "bridge made of planks." CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4)
Today the Felbrigg Estate is owned by the National Trust and covers 1,760 acres and in the village church, 14th-century brasses of Sir Simon de Felbrigge and his wife can be viewed.
Early Origins of the Fellbrygge family
The surname Fellbrygge was first found in Norfolk
at Felbrigg, a parish, in the union of Erpingham, hundred
of North Erpingham. The church of Felbrigg gives evidence of the first record of the family. "On a large marble slab in the nave, is a fine brass representing the figure, in complete armour, of Sir Simon de Felbrigge, who lived in the reign of Henry VI., and was one of the early knights of the Garter." CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
He was born in Erpingham in 1367 and died there in 1443. He was son of Sir Roger Fylbrigg de Felbrigge (c.
_PHONE_.) And he was son of Simon de Felbrigge, Lord of Felbrigge (c.
_PHONE_.) His father Roger de Felbrigge (le Bigod), (_PHONE_) was son of Sir Simon le Bigod. Conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant
of the lands of Felbrigg, Metton under-tenant of Roger Bigod who was recorded in the Domesday Book CITATION[CLOSE]

Fellbrygge Spelling Variations
Endless spelling variations
are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Felbridge, Fellbridge, Felbrigge, Felbrige, Felbridg, Fellbrygge and many more.

Migration of the Fellbrygge family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the political and religious persecution within England
at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Fellbrygge or a variant listed above: settlers were recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled on the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Boston, to Virginia, to Florida, and to the islands..

Tracking a Swinging Target with a Robot Manipulator using Visual Sensing
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionModeling, Identification and Control. 2016, 37 (1), 53-62. 10.4173/mic.2016.1.5
In this paper we develop a method for loading parts onto a swinging target using an industrial robot. The orientation of the target is estimated by a particle filter using camera images as measurements. Robust and accurate tracking is achieved by using an accurate dynamic model of the target. The dynamical model is also used to compensate for the time delay between the acquisition of images and the motion response of the robot. The target dynamics is modeled as a spherical pendulum. To ensure robust visual tracking the position of the target mass center is estimated. The method is experimentally validated in a laboratory loading station with a swinging conveyor trolley as target, which is commonly used in industry.

How to Type Em Dash (or Long Dash) in Word
Em Dash or Em Rule is also sometimes referred to as Long Dash. It is a type of dash that is three times as long as a hyphen or minus sign (-). This dash is called em dash because it is one em wide.
In today's article, you'll learn about all the available methods you can use to type the Em Dash Symbol in Word using Windows or Mac.
Without any further ado, let's get started.
Em Dash [—] Quick Help
The table below contains all the information you need to type the Em Dash symbol in Word using either your Mac or Windows PC. If you are lazy to use the keyboard, you can as well copy and paste the symbol into your document.
|Symbol Name||Em Dash|
|Shortcut for Windows||Alt+0151|
|Shortcut for Mac||[Option] + [Shift] + [-]|
|Shortcut in Word (Win)||[Alt] + [Ctrl] + [Num -]|
To type the Em Dash symbol in Word for Mac, press [Option] + [Shift] + [-] on your keyboard. If you are on Windows, press and hold the Alt key and type the Em Dash alt code which is 0151 on the numeric keypad, then release the alt key.
The above quick guide provides some useful information about the Em Dash symbol including shortcuts and alt codes you can use on both Windows and Mac. However, below are some other methods you can also employ to insert this symbol into your Word document.
5 ways to type an Em Dash [—] symbol in Word
Microsoft Word provides several methods for typing or inserting symbols that do not have dedicated keys on the keyboard.
In this section, I will make available for you five different methods you can use to type or insert the Em Dash symbol in Word for both Mac and Windows users.
Without any further ado, let's get started.
Using the Em Dash [—] Alt Code (Windows Only)
The Em Dash Symbol alt code is 0151.
Even though the Em dash symbol does not have a dedicated key on the keyboard, it can still be typed using the Alt Numpad Input Method which is also known as the Alt code method. This can be done by pressing and holding the Alt key whilst pressing the Em dash symbol Alt code (0151) using the numeric keypad. This method is for Windows only. And your keyboard must also have a numeric keypad.
Obey the following instructions to type the em dash symbol using the alt code method:
- Place your insertion pointer where you need the symbol.
- Press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard.
- Whilst holding on to the Alt key, press the symbol's alt code (0151). You must use the numeric keypad to type the alt code. If you are using a laptop without the numeric keypad, this method may not work for you. On some laptops, there's a hidden numeric keypad which you can enable by pressing Fn+NmLk keystrokes on the keyboard.
- Release the Alt key after typing the Alt code to insert the Symbol into your document.
This is how you may type this symbol in Word using the Alt Code method.
Using the Em Dash Shortcut (Mac and Windows)
The keyboard shortcut for the Em Dash Symbol is [Option] + [Shift] + [-] for Mac. For Windows users, use the Alt Code method or press [Alt] + [Ctrl] + [Num -]. The [Num -] key means the minus key on the numeric keypad on the Windows Keyboard. This shortcut won't work if you use the minus key that's in line with the Backspace key.
To type the em dash symbol on Mac, obey the instructions below:
- First of all, place the insertion pointer where you need to type the Em Dash symbol.
- Press and hold the Option and the Shift key and hit once on the [-] (Minus or Hyphen) key.
With this keyboard shortcut, you can type the Em Dash symbol anywhere on your Mac computer.
- For windows users, press [Alt] + [Ctrl] + [Num -]. The [Num -] means the minus key on the numeric keypad.
- Alternatively, press and hold the alt key and type 0151 on the number pad.
These are the steps you may use to type this symbol in Microsoft Word.
Copy and Paste Em Dash
Another easy way to get the Em Dash symbol on any PC is to use my favorite method: copy and paste.
All you have to do is to copy the symbol from somewhere like a web page or the character map for windows users, and head over to where you need the symbol (say in Word), then hit Ctrl+V to paste.
Below is the symbol for you to copy and paste into your Word document. Just select it and press Ctrl+C to copy, switch over to Microsoft Word, place your insertion pointer at the desired location and press Ctrl+V to paste.
For windows users, obey the following instructions to copy and paste the em dash symbol using the character map dialog box.
- Click on the Start button and search for Character Map. The Character Map app will appear in the search results, click on it to open.
- The Character Map dialog will appear. Click on the Advanced view check box to expand the dialog box for more options.
- On the advanced view, type Em Dash in the Search box.
- You should now see only the Em Dash on the character map dialog. Double click on the symbol to select it. Alternatively, click on the Select button.
- After you select the symbol by double-clicking on it, it should appear in the Character to copy: field, then click on the Copy button to copy the symbol.
- Switch to your Microsoft Word document, place the insertion pointer at the desired location and press Ctrl+V to paste.
This is how you may use the Character Map dialog to copy and paste any symbol on Windows PC.
Using insert Symbol dialog box
The insert symbol dialog box is a library of symbols from where you can insert any symbol into your Word document with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Obey the following steps to insert the Em Dash Symbol in Word using the insert symbol dialog box.
- Open your Word document.
- Click to place the insertion pointer where you wish to insert the symbol.
- Go to the Insert tab.
- In the Symbols category, click on the Symbol drop-down and select the More Symbols button.
- The Symbol dialog box will appear. In the Subset drop-down list, select General Punctuation to display symbols in this category which includes the Em Dash symbol.
- Select the symbol and click on the Insert button. Alternatively, double click on the symbol to insert it into your Word document.
- Close the dialog.
The symbol will then be inserted exactly where you place the insertion pointer in the beginning.
These are the steps you may use to insert the Em Dash symbol in Word.
Using AutoCorrect to Type Em dash in Word
Another approach you may use to obtain this symbol is through the AutoCorrect feature in Word.
AutoCorrect in MS Word is a facility designed for correcting spelling mistakes like thsi to this.
With this feature, you can assign your own short code to the em dash symbol. This way, you can easily type the em dash symbol using the short code. For instance, if you happen to frequently type the Em Dash symbol, you can assign a short code like EMDASH to this symbol. This way, whenever you type the text EMDASH, Word will think that you actually wanted to type — and will convert it into the Em Dash Symbol automatically.
Without any further ado, below are the steps.
- Go to the insert tab.
- In the Symbols category, click on the Symbol drop-down and select More Symbols.
- The Symbol dialog box will appear. In the Subset drop-down list, select General Punctuation from the list to display the General Punctuation symbols which include the Em Dash symbol.
- Select the em dash symbol and click on the AutoCorrect button.
- The AutoCorrect dialog box will appear. Select the 'Replace text as you type' checkbox.
- In the Replace: box, type EMDASH.
- By default, the With: box will contain the em dash sign. Just in case it is not there, please paste it there.
- Now click on the Add button and hit on OK.
At this point, whenever you type the text EMDASH in Word, it'll convert to the Em Dash symbol.
However, below are some things you should note when you are using the AutoCorrect Method to type this symbol in Word.
- AutoCorrect is case sensitive. Meaning if you type emdash (in lowercase), Word will not autocorrect it for you unless you type EMDASH (in uppercase). Whatever case you used to assign the AutoCorrect text is what Word will recognize.
- If there is any text before or after the AutoCorrect text, Word will consider the AutoCorrect text as part of the text and hence will not do any autocorrection. For example, XEMDASH will not get converted since the EMDASH is joining with another character X. However, X EMDASH will convert to X — since the X is separated from the EMDASH.
As you can see, there are several different methods you can use to type the Em Dash Symbol in Microsoft Word.
Using the shortcuts for both Windows and Mac makes the fastest option for this task. Shortcuts are always fast.
Thank you very much for stepping on this blog.

Definition - What does Electrode Device mean?
An Electrode Device is a logging tool which is based on the arrangement of simple metallic electrodes which work at a low frequency. It includes conventional micrologs, electrical logs, laterlogs and various other microresistivity logs. The device is used for both measurement while drilling and wireline logs. The voltage and current in the Electrode Device can be measured on convenient electrodes or on the combination of electrodes. It is used to provide current via nonmetal objects and measure conductivity.
Petropedia explains Electrode Device
The Electrode Device is basically used for the purpose of logging and is considered as a logging tool which is basically the arrangement of metallic electrodes used in MWD and wireline logs. Appropriate electrodes or combination of electrodes are required for measuring the current and voltage in the device. The electrodes are the electromagnetic cells which are either anodes or cathodes. The electrons leave the cell at the anodes and enter the cells at cathodes and reduction takes place. Electrode devices are also used for measuring electrode resistivity.


Hadoop 2.x Fair Scheduler
The FairScheduler is a pluggable scheduler for Hadoop that allows YARN applications to share resources in a large cluster fairly. Fair scheduling is a method of assigning resources to applications such that all applications get, on average, an equal share of resources over time. Hadoop 2.x is capable of scheduling multiple resource types.
By default, the Fair Scheduler bases scheduling fairness decisions only on memory. It can be configured to schedule resources based on memory, CPU, and disk usage. When only one application is running, that application uses the entire cluster. When other applications are submitted, resources that free up are assigned to the new applications, so that each application eventually gets approximately the same amount of resources. Unlike the default Hadoop scheduler, which forms a queue of applications, this lets short applications finish in reasonable time while not starving long-lived applications. It is also a reasonable way to share a cluster between a number of users. Finally, fair sharing also uses priorities applied as weights to determine the fraction of total resources that each application should get.

Lewis Edison Waterman
Born November 20 1837 – Died May 1 1901
Patent No. 293,545
Lewis Waterman invented a superior fountain pen that made inkwells and dip
Waterman improved on earlier fountain pen designs by including a nib and
feed mechanism that produced a steady flow of ink. He founded the Ideal
Pen Company (later the L.E. Waterman Company) in New York in 1884, to
manufacture his pen while he continued to improve its design. In
addition to being functionally superior, Waterman pens were
well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing; some had gold and silver
overlays, others were studded with gems. A Waterman pen won the Medal of
Excellence at the Paris World Exposition in 1900.
By 1901, Waterman was selling 1,000 pens per day. They remained popular
until the Great Depression made them an impractical luxury for many.
After World War II, disposable ballpoint pens came to dominate the
industry. Nonetheless, high-quality Waterman fountain pens are still
made today in a wide variety of styles.
Waterman was born in Decatur, New York. With only five years of
schooling, he worked as a teacher, carpenter, and book salesman before
becoming an insurance agent. He is said to have vowed to invent a better
writing instrument when an inferior pen leaked on an important insurance
contract, delaying him long enough that he lost the client.

We'll admit that we're a little late discovering Sign Libra, but this new track from her forthcoming album Sea To Sea is an absolute beauty.
Accompanied by an equally colourful visual, 'Sea of Islands' is an vibrant, fun and quite frankly unquie exploration into sound which embodies the intricacy and singularity of Sign Libra's music.
The nine song album explores the "philosophical and mythological nature" of the "seas" of the moon's surface, known collectively as lunar maria. Each track is devoted to a different "liquid expanse."
Part of the proceeds from the album will go to Music Fund, a humanitarian organisation that helps young people in conflict zones and developing countries practice music in suitable conditions.
Sea to Sea follows her 2018 ballet composition, Closer to the Equator, released via Sounds of the Dawn / Antinote.

Relevant Theory and Literature Review
Omani wildlife is the flora and fauna of the country from the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula to the coasts on the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Oman climate can be described as hot and dry apart from the south eastern coast. Oman has variety of habitats for wildlife which include the mountains, valleys, deserts, coastal plains and sea coasts.
When one speaks about the tourism sector in Oman and its contribution to the overall country economy one usually means the Historical sites, commercial and industrial field. Rarely do we see or hear the wildlife in Oman being the focal point in attracting tourist to Oman.
According to Anita Isalska in her 2016 article with Rough Guides; she says the capital of Oman is a breath of fresh air when compared to UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and Bahrain. She mentions the dazzling Mattrah souk and superb seafood and says the terrains bring the biggest thrills. She mentions the Hajr mountain Trek the deserts at dawn, spot dolphins at sundown and overall hospitality of the Omani people. She mentions the Historical sites in Nizwa and in the city. In her article there is no mention of the wildlife of Oman as a tourist attraction which is surprising as Oman is home to a variety of endangered species. (Isalska, 2016)
When you imagine Oman what comes to mind is the harsh environment (Desert) in the Arab Peninsula. Oman is rich with variety of landscapes and is home to many different species. One of the most common desert animal in Oman is the Camel; they can be spotted everywhere in Oman from the Coast to the mountains in the desert.
Oman is also home to Sea turtles that migrate annually from the Arabian Gulf to lay their eggs on the Omani shores; the most common is the green turtle but an overall five to seven different species come from different locations. Tourist should be marketed the experience of seeing the migrating process and the morning tour of the Al Jinz turtle reserve where tourist have the opportunity to see and snorkel alongside the turtle. (Ross, 1987)
Oman is also home to the Dolphins and whales, it is said that the best spot to come across a dolphin or a whale is the Musandam Peninsula and the shores of Oman. One of the attraction in the Omani wildlife is its rich marine diversity especially cetaceans such as the humpback whales that is isolated and endangered and the only non migratory population is the world. If advertised well tourists would come from all over the world for a chance to see the magnificent site. Other than the humpback whale Oman is home to the bryde whales, sperm whales, false killer whales, riso dolphins, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and Indo pacific humpback dolphins and the occasional killer whale. (Kennedy, Fergus, 2016)
Masirah Island is one of the new spots opened for tourism; one can only get to the Island by ferry that is managed by the National Ferry company that runs six times a day between Shannah to Marirah. At this moment Masirah is not developed to accommodate a vast number of tourists. The Island has very few high end hotels and a kite surfing camp. For kite surfers Masirah is an attractive spot in the summer because of the monsoon winds; the Island is also an important hatching ground for the loggerhead sea turtles it is similar in importance to the beaches in Ras al Hadd and the nearby Ras al Jinz and a hatching ground for green sea turtles. Furthermore the endangered and most unique population of the humpback whales also migrate to the waters surrounding the island and Masirah Gulf (Surfer Today, 2014)
Finally Oman is home to the elusive and most endangered animal the Arabian Leopard in the mountains; their is approximately 200 left in the Arabian Peninsula. Oman is known as the last place the Arabian Leopard survives. In the Dhofari mountains of southern Oman and the Jabal Samhan Natural Reserves that was set up to protect the endangered wildcats. Another sanctuary that was set up was the Arabian Oryx sanctuary that helps the conservation of the Arabian Oryx and is the home of the sand gazelle, mountain gazelle, the Nubian Ibex, the honey badger, the red fox, the caracal, the sand cats and the Arabian wildcat (UNESCO, 2015).
As mentioned by Aljazeera (2014) majority of Oman's economy depends on it oil production; a whopping 75% of the overall economy has been accounted in the oil production sector. Omani government had made plans to make Tourism sector a major player in building the Omani economy and in the year 2014 tourism contributed to Oman's overall GDP by 6.4% and had anticipated it to grow to 8.4% by 2024.
As noted by the Ministry of Tourism; Oman has vast potential when it comes to the growth in the tourism sector. It is home to long coastlines, dramatic mountain scenery and numerous historical sites which include four UNESCO heritage sites, the tourism sector is the focal point of diversification in Oman. The Ministry of tourism has aimed in attracting 12 million visitors by the year 2020. Oman received 1.36 million tourists in 2007 (Ministry of Tourism 2011); the figure further increased to 1.96 million visitors in 2013 (NCSI 2014). According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the direct contribution of tourism to Oman's GDP amounts to 3.3 percent of Oman's GDP (2014) and with 37,000 jobs generated, it accounts for 3.5 percent of total employment (2014). With these results, Oman is ahead of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, but behind the UAE and Bahrain.
As claimed by MEED, the reality of the tourism sector in Oman does not match to the country's potential. Omani nationals spend a lot more on foreign trips than the income Oman receives from their international visitors/tourist. The tourism trade gap was calculated to around 380 million USD in 2011 (MEED). MEED also sites the lack of infrastructural and investment to the tourism sector. (Fanak.com, 2018)
Qualitative methodology was used when researching the paper; Secondary data was mainly used; information was collected from different journals on the Oman economy and tourism sector. e books that explain more on the importance of tourism to an economy, websites / blogs that talk about the tourist experience in Oman and newspapers that give historical facts on the growth of the tourism sector in Oman.

How to Check the Pressure of a Hydraulic Butt Fusion Machine?
How to Check the Pressure of a Hydraulic Butt Fusion Machine?
Issue Time:2021/12/29
 a method to check the pressure of the hydraulic butt welding machine,
The pressure gauge on the manifold block indicates the pressure of the carriage valve. How much pressure depends on the position of the selector valve and the pressure set on the specific pressure reducing valve. With the selector valve up, the facing pressure can be set. It may be necessary to adjust the carriage speed, while facing, with the top pressure reducing valve to control facing speed.
Shift the selector valve to the center position, heating, and set the pressure reducing valve at its lowest setting, or the drag pressure, whichever is higher. With the selector valve in the down position, the fusion pressure can be set.
An approximate 2 Bar (30 psi) drag factor should compensate for seal, and pipe drag with one joint of pipe on a pipe stand. If additional lengths of pipe are being moved by the movable jaws, the actual drag pressure should be determined using the following procedure:
(1) After facing the pipe, move the carriage so that the pipe ends are approximately 50 mm (2") apart.
(2) Shift the carriage control valve to the middle (neutral) position, select the heating mode, and adjust the middle pressure reducing valve to its lowest pressure by turning the valve counterclockwise.
(3) Shift the carriage control valve to the left.
(4) Gradually increase the pressure by turning the heating valve clockwise.
(5) Increase the pressure until the carriage moves.
(6) Quickly reduce the heating pressure valve counterclockwise until the carriage is just barely moving.
(7) Record this actual drag pressure.
(8) Take the pressure, determined from the Fusion Pressure Calculator, and add the actual measured drag pressure. This will be the actual fusion pressure to set with the bottom pressure reducing valve. If fusion pressures are used from the reference section, you must subtract 2 Bar (30psi) drag, which is already figured in, and then add the actual drag pressure back.
(9) Adjust the middle heating valve to show recorded drag so that pipe ends will stay in contact with the heater during the heating phase.
Through the above steps, we can correctly measure the actual resistance of the hydraulic butt welding machine to ensure a smoother welding result. As an expert in hydraulic butt welding machines for many years, RIYANG can give you some professional advice to a certain extent.

The Negative Effect of Policy Restrictions on Consumers' Post-purchase Reactions to Price-Matching Guarantees
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
Price-Matching Guarantees (PMGs) are a mechanism by which retailers can reassure consumers of the competitive price of products they offer. While current research in marketing has studied consumers' pre-purchase perceptions of the retailer as a result of offering price-matching guarantees, research on the post-purchase impact of PMGs has been relatively limited. While price-matching guarantees are typically assumed to result in positive consumer perceptions of the retailer, no study to date has examined the potentially negative post-purchase impact of PMGs. This paper examines the potential negative effect of policy restrictions which may prevent the disbursement of a price-matching refund, on consumer perceptions. Two experiments (Experiment 1 n*=*120, Experiment 2 n*=*50) are utilized to dissect the impact of policy restrictions on consumers' perceptions of service quality, price, and loyalty. The paper concludes with a discussion of the managerial implications of the findings on price-matching guarantee policies

Okinawa Prefecture anticipates 30% lower mango production in 2012
July 1, 2012 Ryukyu Shimpo
On June 29, the Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department Horticulture Center announced that the 2012 mango production forecast anticipates a figure of 1036 tons, a 33.8% decline from the previous year and the lowest level of shipment in the ten years since 2003.
The Horticulture Center explains that the 40 to 60% reduction in mangoes is because of last year's typhoons, the high temperatures in October and November, and the reduced levels of sunlight from November to February. The low temperatures during the period of bloom in March and April and the slow pollination of flowers by insects also caused crop failure in some areas.
The forecast production levels by district are 310 tons, a 20.7% decline, in the northern region, 57 tons, a 38.7% decline, in the central region, 289 tons, a 37.0% decline, in the southern region, 274 tons, a 47.3% decline in the Miyako region, and 106 tons, a 2.9% increase in the Yaeyama region.
As a countermeasure, farmers were instructed to increase the fruit-setting from one fruit per branch to two or three fruits per branch. Also, a greenhouse facility check-up for typhoons and drainage maintenance will be conducted.

A C# class for monitoring, activating, deactivating, closing, and changing the timeout of the screen saver.
Display Properties Dialog
Introduction
Presented here is a C# class useful for monitoring and controlling the Windows screen saver. The class provides methods for getting information about the screen saver, such as whether or not it is active, it is running, and its time out setting. Additional methods are provided to change these settings and to terminate the screen saver if it is running.
Background
Some things aren't always as straight forward as you might think going in. Such was the case on a recent project where one of the requirements called for killing the screen saver on the occurrence of a real time event. The project involved a radio dispatch console, and in this case the real time event was a dispatch operator pressing the push-to-talk button on a radio handset. Also, the screen saver time out needed to be reset if the screen saver wasn't actually running when the button was pressed, similar to the action of a key press or mouse event.
The SystemParametersInfo API provided by the user32.dll supports a set of functions for accessing screen saver settings, including getting and setting activation, the time out value, and checking to see if the screen saver is running. However, there doesn't seem to be a function for terminating the screen saver if it is running. The SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING function oddly doesn't do the job as one might think, which instead is suggested as an obscure technique to disable task switching under Windows 95 and 98. Ultimately, the solution was found in another knowledge base article discussing user32.dll functions which can be used to find the running screen saver application and then force it to close. The main task now was to implement a class to call these unmanaged functions using C#.
Using the code
To use the code, just copy the class ScreenSaver into your program and call the exposed methods, which for the most part are just wrappers to the user32.dll functions:
 - bool GetScreenSaverActive( ) - returns TRUE if the screen saver is activate (but not necessarily running)
 - void SetScreenSaverActive( int Active ) - pass in 1 to activate, 0 to deactivate
 - int GetScreenSaverTimeout( ) - returns the current timeout setting
 - void SetScreenSaverTimeout( int Value ) - pass in the desired timeout value
 - bool GetScreenSaverRunning( ) - returns TRUE if the screen saver is running
 - void KillScreenSaver( ) - terminates the screen saver
 - IntPtr GetForegroundWindow( ) - returns the handle of the current foreground window
Here is the entire ScreenSaver class:

 {

 private static bool KillScreenSaverFunc( IntPtr hWnd,
 IntPtr lParam )
 {
 if( IsWindowVisible( hWnd ) )
 PostMessage( hWnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0 );
 return true;
 }
}
The more interesting code here is the KillScreenSaver( ) method. Beginning with Microsoft Windows NT, you cannot simply make a call to close the foreground window as you could under previous releases of Windows. Windows NT introduces the concept of separate desktops. Applications can run on one desktop, and screen savers can run on another. For example, under Windows XP, if you check the "On resume, display Welcome screen" option in the Screen Saver tab of Display Properties, the screen saver will be running on a desktop other than the one for your application. In this case, you need to find the screen saver desktop and close its foreground window to terminate the screen saver. If this option is not checked, the screen saver is running on the same desktop as your application, and may be killed merely by closing the foreground window in that

What Does The Name Erasmus Mean?
1 Answers
Yooti Bhansali Profile
Yooti Bhansali answered
The name 'Erasmus' is a name for a male originating from the Greek word 'erasmios' which means 'beloved'.
Saint Erasmus was a martyr from the third century who is regarded as the patron saint by sailors.
Erasmus was also the name of a Dutch scholar, humanist and theologian who was prominent during the Renaissance period. His writing was in pure Latin form. Although he was a Roman Catholic all his life, he was a stern critic of what he regarded as the excesses of the Roman Catholic Church. He made new Latin as well as Greek editions of the New Testament.
Martin Luther's movement started in the year after the New Testament was published and greatly tested the strength of Erasmus's character. Erasmus admired Luther, but was averse to partisanship. His hesitation to support Luther led Luther that Erasmus was a coward or purposeless.

Employee Legal Awareness Day
Perhaps a somewhat informal day of recognition started by Paul Brennan, a lawyer in Australia; however, it does raise a rather serious issue in the sphere of disability management. It is arguable that there are likely many employees who do not know there legal rights in the workplace regarding occupational health and safety. And for most, the idea of sitting down with a Workers Compensation regulation or Employment Standards Act is unthinkable. But it is important for workers to know some of the fundamental health and safety information to help protect their own well-being. This does not negate the employer's responsibility to ensure a healthy workplace or ensure that their employees have access to important health and safety information; rather it helps to ensure people take responsibility for themselves. It also supports the idea of employers and employees working collaboratively to make sure workers are aware of their legal rights and responsibilities as this is only one aspect of workplace health and safety.
Disability management professionals can be instrumental in this process to provide information and help organizations develop preventative disability management policies, which employees can be encouraged to be familiar with. So, today's post is simply to acknowledge Employee Legal Awareness Day and encourage employees to take one small step in raising their legal awareness as it relates to their workplace or occupation.

The diversity of plants and vegetation within Grand Canyons National Park can be attributed the extremely varied terrain and climates that are exclusive to the region. With over 8,000 ft. elevation from the River to the highest point on the North Rim, there is a great variety of high and low altitude plants, as well as varied desert and river species.
In the park, there are approximately:
1,737 known species of vascular plants
167 species of fungi
64 species of moss
195 species of lichen
found in Grand Canyon National Park. Warmer all year round than the North and South Rim, the flora communities of the River boast rare plants such as the white-flowering redbud tree, stream orchid, and McDougall's flaveria.
In the intermediate elevations, mesquite, sagebrush and ocotillo are common. At around 6000 feet, juniper forests come in to abundance, and by 8000 feet, vast Ponderosa Pines intermingle with Mountain Mahogany and Gambel Oaks.
Specific to the North Rim are also populations of sub-alpine grasses, including blue and black grama, big galleta and Indian Ricegrass.

Tom Wessels, MA
Department of Environmental Studies
Frost pockets generally occur in concave landscapes such as basins or topographic depressions where nighttime temperatures may be substantially lower than the surrounding landscape as a result of downward drainage of cool air and radiational cooling. Such local variation in temperature may have important effects on species composition and structure, flower and fruit production, herbivory and morphological variability. I conducted a study on Mantague Plain in central New England in order to determine whether similar frost pockets may occur in topographically level areas dominated by scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia). Although the site selected for investigation is nearly level, it exhibits a dramatic change in the height of scrub oak when moving from the edge to the center of scrub oak-dominated stands. Weekly measurements of maximum/minimum temperatures and leaf development indicate that location and minimum temperature are strongly correlated with variation in leaf phenology in scrub oak. Te results of these analyses support the hypothesis that microclimate and location have an effect on leaf phenology of scrub oak in shrub thickets on Montague Plain.


that matches any detected main monitor refresh rate. With Vsync unchecked and Frame cap 0, the time step is not fixed but instead uses actual elapsed time difference for dt. With Vsync unchecked and Frame cap > 0, timers are used to respect the set frame cap value. There is no guarantee that the frame cap will be achieved depending on platform specifics and hardware settings.
Swap interval is the interval with which to swap the front and back buffers in sync with vertical blanks (v-blank), the hardware event where the screen image is updated with data from the front buffer. A value of 1 swaps the buffers at every v-blank, a value of 2 swaps the buffers every other v-blank and so on. A value of 0 disables waiting for v-blank before swapping the buffers*. Setting swap_interval is done by calling the set_vsync_swap_interval function.
Caveat
Currently, Defold queries for monitor refresh rate at init and uses that as a basis for picking a fixed dt. If you want to support monitors using variable refresh rate (GSync or FreeSync for example) or other scenarios where the refresh rate might not be trivial to query, uncheck Vsyncto let the engine measure actual dt each frame instead of relying on a fixed time step.
Vsync and frame cap in Defold
Frame cap 0 (default) Frame cap > 0
Vsync checked (default) Relies on hardware vsync. Fixed dt of 1/(detected monitor refresh rate). Fixed dt of (swap interval)/(detected monitor refresh rate) where swap interval is clamped to the closest matching monitor refresh rate frame cap multiple.
Vsync unchecked Calculates dt each frame based on elapsed system time. Vsync might still be enabled in driver settings. Uses a fixed dt of 1 / (Frame cap). Uses timers and sleeps to respect the set frame cap.

text: This paper considers semi-analytical solutions for a class of generalised logistic partial dierential equations with both point and distributed delays. Both one and two-dimensional geometries are considered. The Galerkin method is used to approximate the governing equations by a system of ordinary dierential delay equations. This method involves assuming a spatial structure for the solution and averaging to obtain the ordinary dierential delay equation models. Semi-analytical results for the stability of the system are derived with the critical parameter value, at which a Hopf bifurcation occurs, found. The results show that diusion acts to stabilise the system, compared to equivalent nondiusive systems and that large delays, which represent feedback from the distant past, act to destabilize the system. Comparisons between semi-analytical and numerical solutions show excellent agreement for steady state and transient solutions, and for the parameter values at which the Hopf bifurcations occur.

SAMPLE
The SAMPLE clause takes samples evenly in the result set and returns the specified amount of data.
Legacy version compatibility
SAMPLE is a new clause added in Nebula Graph 2.6.0.
SAMPLE can be used in GO statements only. The syntax is as follows:
<go_statement> SAMPLE <sample_list>;
sample_list is a list. Elements in the list must be natural numbers, and the number of elements must be the same as the maximum number of STEPS in the GO statement. The following takes GO 1 TO 3 STEPS FROM "A" OVER * SAMPLE <sample_list> as an example to introduce this usage of SAMPLE in detail.
 - The list sample_list must contain 3 natural numbers, such as GO 1 TO 3 STEPS FROM "A" OVER * SAMPLE [1,2,4].
 - 1 in SAMPLE [1,2,4] means that the system automatically selects 1 edge to continue traversal in the first step. 2 means to select 2 edges to continue traversal in the second step. 4 indicates that 4 edges are selected to continue traversal in the third step. If there is no matched edge in a certain step or the number of matched edges is less than the specified number, the actual number will be returned.
 - Because GO 1 TO 3 STEPS means to return all the traversal results from the first to third steps, all the red edges and their source and destination vertices in the figure below will be matched by this GO statement. And the yellow edges represent there is no path selected when the GO statement traverses. If it is not GO 1 TO 3 STEPS but GO 3 STEPS, it will only match the red edges of the third step and the vertices at both ends.

Create Deep Links to App Content
When a clicked link or programmatic request invokes a web URI intent, the Android system tries each of the following actions, in sequential order, until the request succeeds:
 1. Open the user's preferred app that can handle the URI, if one is designated.
 2. Open the only available app that can handle the URI.
 3. Allow the user to select an app from a dialog.
Follow the steps below to create and test links to your content. You can also use the App Links Assistant in Android Studio to add Android App Links.
Add intent filters for incoming links
To create a link to your app content, add an intent filter that contains these elements and attribute values in your manifest:
Add one or more tags, each of which represents a URI format that resolves to the activity. At minimum, the tag must include the android:scheme attribute.
You can add more attributes to further refine the type of URI that the activity accepts. For example, you might have multiple activities that accept similar URIs, but which differ simply based on the path name. In this case, use the android:path attribute or its pathPattern or pathPrefix variants to differentiate which activity the system should open for different URI paths.
Include the BROWSABLE category. It is required in order for the intent filter to be accessible from a web browser. Without it, clicking a link in a browser cannot resolve to your app.
Also include the DEFAULT category. This allows your app to respond to implicit intents. Without this, the activity can be started only if the intent specifies your app component name.
 android:label="_USER_/title_gizmos" >

Notice that the two intent filters only differ by the element. Although it's possible to include multiple elements in the same filter, it's important that you create separate filters when your intention is to declare unique URLs (such as a specific combination of scheme and host), because multiple elements in the same intent filter are actually merged together to account for all variations of their combined attributes. For example, consider the following:

It might seem as though this supports only and app:// However, it actually supports those two, plus these: app:// and
Read data from incoming intents
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
 val action: String? = intent?.action
 val data: Uri? = intent?.data
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 Intent intent = getIntent();
 String action = intent.getAction();
 Uri data = intent.getData();
Follow these best practices to improve the user's experience:
Test your deep links
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d
$ adb shell am start
 -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW
 -d "example://gizmos"
The manifest declaration and intent handler you set above define the connection between your app and a website and what to do with incoming links. However, in order to have the system treat your app as the default handler for a set of URIs, you must also request that the system verify this connection. The next lesson explains how to implement this verification.

The influence of governance rearrangements on flood risk management in Kampala, Uganda.
Author / Authors:
The importance of governance rearrangements (reassignment of positions, roles, and responsibility among actors in governance processes) and their implications on flood risk management has gained currency in evaluative environmental governance literature. However, much work has concentrated on building and applying frameworks to evaluate impacts of decentralisation, such that frameworks to evaluate impacts of recentralisation are still lacking. This paper uses the case of Bwaise III informal settlement in Kampala, Uganda, to assess the impacts of local government rearrangements on flood mitigation. We adapted a Water Governance Assessment Framework and conducted 22 in‐depth interviews with stakeholders, searched documentary sources, and carried out transect walks. We generated qualitative data on stakeholder experiences and perceptions regarding governance quality and flood mitigation prereform and postreform. The data were analysed using thematic content analysis to produce a scoreboard measuring changes in governance dimensions against progress in flood mitigation. In a follow‐up survey, 24 structured interviews were conducted to validate the data. Results show that the rearrangements led to time and cost savings, increased revenue, and sped up the implementation of flood management strategies and measures. The findings can be useful to policymakers at the interface of governance and flood management.

Public investment, transport infrastructure and growth in Poland
Aleksander Rutkowski, European Commission
Public investment, transport infrastructure and growth in Polandpdf(159 kB) Choose translations of the previous link
This Country Focus discusses the relation between public investment and economic growth in Poland. Theoretical and empirical work has shown that improvements in the quantity and quality of public infrastructure have a positive impact on growth in the medium and, possibly, in the long run. The effect is even more important for economies in transition engaged in a catching up process.
The analysis presented supports these conclusions. It also provides statistical evidence suggesting that higher public investment stimulates growth in Poland. In recent years, a significant effort has already been made to increase public spending in infrastructure. This has contributed to smooth the economic downturn in Poland during the crisis.
However, significant infrastructure investments are still needed, notably in the area of transport. In the current post-crisis environment, the envisaged efforts to further improve public infrastructure seem to be an appropriate way to support the recovery.
Spending reallocation within the budget and a more extensive use of EU funds would allow financing these new investments. This would avoid increasing the budget deficit or introducing distortionary taxes, which would partly or fully offset the positive impact of the additional investments.

Audiovisual system hook up diagram - Template
Hook up drawing (hookup diagram) shows how the electronic equipment is connected using the cables and connectors - jacks and plugs.
"The term audiovisual (AV, or A/V) may refer to works with both a sound and a visual component, the production or use of such works, or the equipment used to create and present such works. Slide-tape presentations, films, and television programs are examples of audiovisual presentations, as are most major church services and other live theater productions.
Business presentations are also often audiovisual. In a typical presentation, the presenter provides the audio by speaking, and supplements it with a series of images projected onto a screen, either from a slide projector, or from a computer connected to a projector using presentation software.
In the developed world, there has been a huge uptake of computer-based audiovisual equipment in the education sector, with many schools and higher educational establishments installing projection equipment and often using interactive whiteboard technology." [Audiovisual. Wikipedia]
The audiovisual system hook up diagram template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Audio and Video Connectors solution from the Engineering area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.


Huddersfield Functional Index
Original Editor - Your name will be added here if you created the original content for this page.

Introduction[1]
The Huddersfield Functional Index (HFI) is an outcome measure that measures progress in Rebound Therapy. It was originally designed by Richard Wattreson in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. It was then reworked in collaboration with Paul Kaye and Eddy Anderson to be follow grades 1, 2 and 3 of the Winstrada Trampoline Development Programme.
The movement progressions of the Winstrada Trampolining Programme were designed so that students are simply scored on whether they can or cannot complete a movement. This model is not appropriate for individuals with disabilities. For a person with physical or intellectual challenges it may take a significant amount of time to achieve a single movement or they may never be able to achieve a movement independently.
Purpose of HFI[1]
In the HFI, each movement, of the Winstrada Trampoline Programme, is scored on a scale from 0-4. A score of 0 means they are unable to complete it and 4 means they can complete it competently and independently. A total for each section is scored and progress is tracked on a graph found within the manual.
By scoring each movement out of 4, it allows one to track small progressions. In a severely disabled person these may be significant milestones. For some individuals, they may never achieve a 4 for an activity. For example, a child with Cerebral Palsy may not be able to "sit and initiate movement by pushing hands into the bed independently" (Exercise 19) but they "could initiate the movement independently for short periods". They would then score a 3 on the HFI and move on to the next movement.
Intended Population[1]
The Huddersfield Functional Index was designed to track progression in Rebound Therapy for individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities.
Evidence
To date there have been no formal studies carried out to assess the psychometric properties of the HFI.

What is the capacity of Nebraska Memorial Stadium?
Is Neyland Stadium the biggest?
Neyland Stadium (Capacity: 102,455) Now the seventh-largest stadium in the world, Neyland Stadium had a capacity of just 3,200 when it was constructed in 1921. The Tennessee Volunteers' home first topped a capacity of 100,000 in 1996 and set a record attendance of 109,061 for a game against Florida in 2004.
How big is a stadium football?
The field has been 100 yards long and 53 1/3 yards wide since 1881. In 1912, the two end zones were established at 10 yards deep and have remained so ever since. Consequently, all football games are played on a rectangular field that's 360 feet long x 160 feet wide.

- Nou Camp. Location: Barcelona, Spain.
- Wembley. Location: London, UK.
Who has the biggest stadium in the Big 12?
Consider that among the eight schools remaining in the Big 12, Oklahoma State is the only school with a winning percentage higher than. 700 since 2011 and Iowa State has the largest stadium capacity at 61,500.
Are college stadiums bigger than NFL?
Several college football stadiums have seating capacities greater than NFL stadiums, with AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, leading the way with a standing-room capacity of 105,000. (The stadium typically seats about 80,000.)
What is the D for in football?
The penalty arc (colloquially "the D") is marked from the outside edge of the penalty area, 9.15 metres (10 yd) from the penalty mark; this, along with the penalty area, marks an exclusion zone for all players other than the penalty kicker and defending goalkeeper during a penalty kick.
How much does it cost to build a 10000 seater stadium?
In total, the complex would cost between $90 million and $100 million. "This would be the first stadium built directly for a Major League Lacrosse team and it would be able to house other events other than just the Bayhawks," he said.
How much land is needed for a football stadium?
To cover the field, basic bleachers, some concession and toilet facilities, a field house, and an area fenced-in around the stadium, you're looking at 4–6 acres of land.


Now, the Apple blocked code crashed with iOS devices when users wrote & # 39; Taiwan & # 39;
By Mikey Campbell
Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 9:57 p.m. PT (12:57 a.m. ET)
A blog post on Tuesday illustrates the sometimes unnoticed negative effects of modifying or adding code to an important operating system for the sole purpose of placating the government of a given market. Apple did exactly that when it eliminated the emoji of the Taiwan flag from circulation in China.
 Taiwan iOS
Source: Patrick Wardle
Patrick Wardle, head of research at Digita Security, discussed the problem causing certain iOS devices to crash into a long and somewhat technical post on his personal blog, Objective-See.
According to Wardle explains, iOS 11.3 and following contained an error that for some users of iPhone and iPad caused constant blockages when the word "Taiwan" was entered in the text fields of the application, both the first and the third parties.
The remote error would also trigger a blocking event when trying to display the emoji of the Taiwanese flag on certain devices. The process was repeatable in iMessage, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Apple patched the bug in iOS 11.4.1, citing an error report presented by Wardle earlier this year.
Certain aspects of the error are unclear, but Wardle reduced the negative effect to a "zero" pointer dereference. In particular, the problem arose when an operation removeEmoji led to a system instruction verifying the regional configuration of a device. A subsequent function collapsed under certain conditions related to the configuration of the Chinese region.
As observed by Emojipedia iOS hides the flag of Taiwan on devices installed in the region of China. This process includes removing emoji from the keyboard and rendered data, such as incoming text messages.
While the code worked for Chinese iPhones, it caused problems for some iOS devices established in other regions, or more accurately, a "state without regional support".
The ordeal underlines the length of time Apple and other companies go to appease the Chinese government. China and Taiwan have a long and conflicting relationship dating back to long before the Chinese Civil War. Taiwan considers itself as a sovereign state called the Republic of China, while the People's Republic of China (mainland China) considers Taiwan as part of its territory and sensitive to issues related to the identity of the island.
China (the People's Republic of China) is a vital market for Apple. Although the company publicly promotes a firm stance against government censorship and espionage, it has played well with the often criticized laws of the Chinese government.
Last year, for example, Apple caught the anti-aircraft service for taking out the NYT application from the Chinese app store, a move that was followed by the removal of certain VPN applications according to regulations Chinese
More recently, the company transferred Chinese iCloud data and cryptographic keys to local servers managed by Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry Co. Ltd., a decision criticized by privacy advocates. For its part, Apple says it advocated that iCloud is not subject to China's cyber laws, but called compliance a cost of doing business in the country.

After showing you how to feed pigs and deer earlier, today we're going to show you how to use a five gallon bucket to feed chickens! Jimmywait on the backyard chickens forum made a great guide that showcases how to make a chicken feeder, we took his idea and improved further upon it.
-One five gallon bucket (link)
-One piece of 3″ pvc elbow (link)
-A sillicone kit or pvc cement (link)
I'll assume you already have a saw, but the rest of the required equipment may be useful to buy in one go at Amazon, to cut down on delivery costs.
Step 1: Cut the PVC elbow at the red line, as shown here above.
Step 2: Make a round hole in the bucket one inch off the bottom, using a knife or a saw, where the PVC will fit into the bucket.
Step 3: The PVC pipe should now be attached inside the bucket, with the angle pointing downwards. The piece you cut off, should be attached on the opposite side, as shown in the image above step 2.
Step 4: If you think one PVC pipe is not sufficient for your chickens, you may want to add more PVC pipes.
Step 5: When the PVC cement dries, your chicken feeder should be ready for you to use.
The final result should look as following:
More helpful advice on chickens
We've written other guides on taking care of chickens too. Look at some of the below examples:

Let me explain. I have created a custom component, when editing the element and saving it once, I would like to display next to the alias the sef frontend link to this element. Here is a screenshot to explain :
I haven't coded anything yet because I'm not sure how to do it?
I'm assuming that since you're asking about SEF URLs for your component that you've already built your own custom router (as SEF URLs for a custom component are dependent upon that). If not then you can follow the example described in _URL_ and following tutorial steps.
If you've done that then outputting an SEF URL on the admin backend is similar to how you create an SEF URL on the front end using JRoute::_ and passing the various parameters such as your component (option), id of your item, Itemid of the menuitem, etc. Except that on the admin side you should use
use Joomla\CMS\Router\Route;
$url = Route::link("site", "index.php?option=com_example&view=showitem&id=14);
See Joomla Route link for the API definition and URLs in Joomla for a description of how to use these functions.
Note that the link method is available only since Joomla 3.9, so if you're working on a version which predates that then it's rather more tricky, as you have to hack your way into the Joomla core code, but not impossible.
Also just be aware that the SEF URL may differ depending upon the Itemid of the menuitem which you pass to the link function and how you've built your custom router.
 - OK, thank you, your answer gave me the right direction. – Laurent Jan 20 at 14:07

Maroon & Maroons
Maroon and Maroons became the University of Chicago's official color and nickname, respectively, at a meeting of students and faculty on May 5, 1894.
Before the University held its first classes on October 1, 1892, the Board of Trustees had selected goldenrod (yellow) as the school's official color. By 1894, however, Chicago's legendary football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg believed that a change was necessary.
"The yellow ran, soiled easily, and had a regrettable symbolism which our opponents might not be above commenting upon," said Stagg in his autobiography, Touchdown!
Because maroon was not already in use by any major school in the Midwest, Stagg and his associate J.E. Raycroft brought a selection of maroon shades to the 1894 meeting of students and faculty. From those ribbons, a choice was made, and the baseball team appeared in that color during its final games of the 1894 season.
On July 21, 1894, the first mention of a U. of C. athletic team as Maroons appeared in the Chicago Tribune in an article about the baseball team.
While Maroons is the official nickname of the University of Chicago's sports teams, the Phoenix – which is featured as part of the University's shield – serves as the school's mascot. The U. of C. Board of Trustees adopted the shield in 1910.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has released a new video promoting its policy on how to reduce pain for cattle during a common surgical procedure—dehorning.
Many breeds of cattle have horns, which are often removed early in life to protect other animals and farmers from injury. The AVMA policy and this informational video offer guidance to help make this procedure as comfortable as possible for animals.
"The AVMA provides up-to-date and accurate information about ensuring good animal welfare. Videos like this one help us get that information to more people," explains Dr. Cia Johnson of the AVMA Animal Welfare Division, who appears in the video. "America has more than 96 million head of cattle, so—although not widely known—this is a common procedure. The AVMA Animal Welfare Committee uses the latest scientific research available and practical experience to recommend policy for the Association. Research has shown that local anesthesia can be used to reduce the pain experienced by animals during dehorning."
AVMA policy recommends that, to reduce discomfort for the animal, dehorning be done at the earliest age possible and that consideration be given to the use of local anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents for pain control.
The new video demonstrates the use of local anesthetic and disbudding (a dehorning technique applied to young calves), and helps educate farmers and the general public about how pain management can improve an animals' welfare.

Home Chef employs their own delivery drivers who are required to have a national police clearance. Frozen meals are delivered in polystyrene boxes packed with ice packs, which has proven the most efficient, constant temperature of delivery.
During transportation of meals, Home Chef ensures that:
- Drivers maintain a satisfactory standard of personal hygiene practises and follow the health and hygiene requirements prescribed under the Food Safety Standards and outlined in the Food Safety Program.
- Drivers wear a home chef uniform and have name badges.
- Food transport eskies are kept in clean and sanitary condition before use.
- Food transport vehicles are kept in a clean condition and maintained at a high standard.
- All meals are kept under strict temperature controls during delivery to prevent the growth of food poisoning bacteria.
