 How to insert the value inside an array's cell into a char variable?
 I have this program in Java to read a database written in a .txt format (file name is "info.txt").
 It has the values record number, name, age, state, and salary class written in it. I've named the array to read that database as "ven[]". The program will load that text-file database into that array to display on the screen when it is run. When it reaches the array cell that has the salary class value, it displays on the screen the corresponding amount. Array cell ven[4] contains a single entry that's just one character long.(ven[0] is the where the record number or "R11-1000" is stored)
 That character corresponds to the value assigned to it. That is, if the value in it is "1", it corresponds to $200 per hour. Hence, on the screen the line, "Salary per Hour" will have the amount, $200 dollars next to it. I read that switch statements can only allow integers or characters as values in it. So, I've been trying to assign that array cell in question into a char-declared variable - as you can see in the photo of the few lines before reaching the switch statement. Unfortunately, I get error messages when I attempt to do so. (the compiler says they're incompatible data types). The error message, by the way, says "error: incompatible types - readDB.java - line 37"...
 I intend to use the entry inside ven[4] as a value for the switch statement in the code. I'm not quite a beginner but I'm not expert on Java either.
 I have no idea how to go around this problem - any idea how? That is, how to transfer an array's value into
 The code I've written is down below...(line 35 is where the error is...)
 Code:
 import java.util.*;
 import java.io.*;

 public class readDB
 {
 public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
 {
 Scanner v = new Scanner(System.in);
 Scanner i = new Scanner(new File("info.txt"));

 String s,salarytype;
 StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();

 double ph=0;
 Boolean wr=false;

 System.out.println(" ");
 System.out.print("Enter Employee Code: ");
 s = v.nextLine();

 while (i.hasNextLine())
 { //first while loop start brace
 n = i.nextLine();
 String ven[] = n.split(";");

 if (s.equals(ven[0]))
 {
 System.out.println(" ");
 System.out.println("Name: " + ven[1]);
 System.out.println("Age: " + ven[2]);
 System.out.println("Address: " + ven[3]);
 System.out.println("Salary Type: " + ven[4]);
 result.append(ven[4]);
 String mynewstring = result.toString();
 char[] cArray = mynewstring.toCharArray();

 switch(cArray)
 {
 case 1: ph=200;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 case 2: ph=300;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 case 3: ph=500;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 }
 wr=true;
 } else if (wr==false)
 {
 System.out.println ("Invalid Code ");
 }
 } //first while loop end brace
 }
 }

 Re: How to insert the value inside an array's cell into a char variable?
 Hi,
 You can't switch on char arrays, and if you are using a JRE version prior to Java7 not even on Strings.
 So, you can't do:
 Code:
 switch (cArray) {[....]}
 Look at this site
 Try something like:
 Code:
 if (mynewstring.equals("1")) {
 // whatever
 } else if (mynewstring.equals("2")) {
 // whatever
 } else {
 // whatever
 }
 Hope this helps.
 Regards,
 Albert.
 Please, correct me. I'm just learning.... and sorry for my english :-)

 Re: How to insert the value inside an array's cell into a char variable?
 If in case I get the new JRE, would I still have to use the code lines you suggested? Or is there some way of getting
 the value of that specific array cell to be a switch value with a new JRE installed?
 Besides, aren't switch statements a lot clearer than embedded "if-else" statements?

 Well, a char array isn't a char. You'll have to single out a char from the array. If the char you want to switch on is firts in the array it would look like this,
 Code:
 switch(cArray[0]) // first char
 {
 case '1': // '1' is a char
 Another option is to turn the String into an int (assuming the String holds a number). Then you switch over that int as in the current code. You can use the parseInt() method of the Integer class, like
 Code:
 int mynewint = Integer.parseInt(mynewstring);
 By the way why are you appending to result? Since result is declared outside the loop it means ven[4] values will be added on to each other in each iteration of the loop and accumulate. Is that what you want?

 From member, nuzzle -

 My reply - not really. I just thought that would be the answer to my problem. I really am focused on putting that very value into the switch statement. I could use nested if-else loops but I'm concerned about debugging them later on. For me, switch statements are cleaner - they're a lot easier to understand.
 As for the line
 Code:
 int mynewint = Integer.parseInt(mynewstring);
 Would it mean that my program would be written like this now?
 Code:
 System.out.println(" ");
 System.out.println("Name: " + ven[1]);
 System.out.println("Age: " + ven[2]);
 System.out.println("Address: " + ven[3]);
 System.out.println("Salary Type: " + ven[4]);
 result.append(ven[4]);
 String mynewstring = result.toString();
 int mynewint = Integer.parseInt(mynewstring);
 char[] cArray = mynewstring.toCharArray();

 switch(cArray)
 {
 case 1: ph=200;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 case 2: ph=300;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 case 3: ph=500;
 System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
 break;
 ...
 Otherwise, where in the source code should I place the line you suggested? And what other lines do I need to remove to make the code work?
 Thanks for replying by the way..... :-)

Typical examples are Brazil, which has become in the recent years one of the 6 largest economies in the world overtaking the UK, and Australia, which is described as the new Switzerland in terms of quality of life and growing wealth.
But let's see what are the 10 largest urban economies in the Southern Hemisphere.
1. Sao Paulo, Brazil
GDP – 433.254 billion U.S. dollars
Sao Paulo, the largest metropolis in Brazil, is the city with the biggest economy in the Southern Hemisphere.
Many countries around the world, including countries in Europe, have smaller economies than this huge South American city.
Sao Paulo dictate the pulse of the Brazilian economy. It is among the most important financial and industrial centers in the world.
2. Buenos Aires, Argentina
GDP – 348 billion U.S. dollars
Buenos Aires is the second-largest urban economy in the Southern Hemisphere.
The capital of Argentina, called the Latin American Paris because of its beautiful architecture and rich culture, is a huge city, whose economy is dominated by the service sector.
Buenos Aires is surrounded by some of the most fertile farmland in the world, so the great importance of the food industry for the city is not surprising.
3. Sydney, Australia
GDP – 319.5 billion U.S. dollars
Apart from being considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Sydney is the third largest economic center in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest in Australia.
With approximately ¼ of the total population of the continent, the city is considered one of the most influential in the world.
4. Melbourne, Australia
GDP – 253.1 billion U.S. dollars
Melbourne has always been the greatest competitor of Sydney when it comes to wealth, power and economic importance.
Therefore it is not surprising that Melbourne occupies the fourth place, just one position behind Sydney.
The second largest Australian city is famous for one more thing – it always occupies some of the leading positions as one of the best cities to live in the world.
5. Jakarta, Indonesia
GDP – 224 billion U.S. dollars
The capital of Indonesia is a kind of reflection of the region of Southeast Asia. The city is famous for its colorful atmosphere and numerous cultural sights but also for its dynamic economy.
Very important place in the fifth largest city economy in the Southern Hemisphere takes the services sector. Jakarta is a famous shopping center of international importance.
6. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
GDP – 190.866 billion U.S. dollars
Rio de Janeiro is the second most important economic center in Brazil and the third largest in South America. The services sector is of great importance.
The city is the largest tourist center of Latin America, and it attracts millions of tourists from all around the world each year. Rio de Janeiro has one of the biggest ports in this part of the world.
7. Lima, Peru
GDP – 177.4 billion U.S. dollars
Lima is the seventh largest economic center in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest urban economy on the Pacific coast of South America. The city concentrates a large part of the industry of Peru and almost the entire financial strength of the country.
8. Santiago de Chile, Chile
GDP – 150.3 billion U.S. dollars
Santiago de Chile is the capital of Chile and the most important economic center in the country.
Practically, in South America there is no other similar case of a city that concentrate almost half of the economic strength of the country as it is here.
Santiago looks very modern and impressive, and the city skyline is dominated by high-rising office buildings.
9. Brisbane, Australia
GDP – 132.2 billion U.S. dollars
Four out of ten largest urban economies in the Southern Hemisphere are located in Australia. The ninth city in the list is Brisbane, which is located on the east coast of the country.
The economy of this gorgeous city in southeastern Queensland is largely dependent on the vast resources of minerals in the state.
10. Perth, Australia
GDP – 118.6 billion U.S. dollars
The city of glass, as they sometimes call Perth because of the numerous towers with mirrored facades in the downtown, is the tenth largest urban economy in the Southern Hemisphere.
Because of its proximity to Asia, the city is considered as the new Singapore, and many say it is the most promising, dynamic and fastest growing center in Australia.

Location estimation as one of the most popular research areas has been recently attended because of wide range of its applications. K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is a basic deterministic algorithm for locating which is widely used in fingerprinting approach. The performance of the KNN can be improved extensively by employing appropriate selection algorithm. In this paper, a novel algorithm called Dynamic KNN (D-KNN) which uses Angle of Arrival (AOA) and KNN as a hybrid method is proposed. This method comparing with KNN algorithm with constant K, selects the best number of nearest neighbors dynamically. It utilizes the adaptive antenna system to determine the user locative area by intersection of several obtained AOA. The best K neighbors which are located in the determined area can be selected to employ in the KNN. Analysis and simulation results are reported the best overall performance of D-KNN in different conditions.

The Holdout (2020)Hardcover Paperback Kindle
Graham Moore is an American historical fiction author and screenwriter. He is best known for "The Sherlockian," the debut historical fiction novel he published in 2010 and "The Imitation Game" an Academy Award-winning television script that was based on a biography on Andrew Hodges. His mother was chief of staff for Michelle Obama while his father was an insurance defense lawyer. He was born and spent much of his childhood on the north side of Chicago and had a happy childhood despite the fact that his parents divorced when he was barely in his teens. In 2016, he published his second novel
"The Last Days of Night" that tells of the rivalry between George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison set in New York City in 1888. The story is told from the perspective of Paul Cravath who was attorney to Westinghouse. The novel was made into a film whose script was written by that Moore.
Growing up in North Chicago, Graham Moore got interested in mystery stories as a child when he would read Agatha Christie novels that his mother brought home. Since he always loved music, he intended to find a career in music and hence spent much of his time as a teenager playing and reading about various bands. When he joined Columbia University, he still wanted to work in music though he was starting to get interested in literature having attended classes where he read Western classics such as "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad." However, his interest in music was stronger and thus he kept at it and when he graduated, he built a studio that he worked in with his friends. Moore was in charge of collecting equipment and was also sound engineer when he was not playing with a bunch of bands around New York. He had always been fascinated by Sherlock Holmes but something changed in 2004. A leading archeologist announced that they had found Arthur Conan Doyle's diary which was something of a Holy Grail from Sherlock fans. He was so fascinated with the discovery that he started writing the manuscript for a novel that would later become "The Sherlockian." Soon he was angling to become an author though he still worked in the studio to make rent and wrote whenever he had free time.
In 2004, Ben Epstein who was a student at New York University film school and Graham Moore's best friend made an interesting suggestion. They had been out drinking and were just telling foolish jokes that got funnier as the night wore on. It had not been such a good joke when it all started but over the course of the night, it developed into an idea for a comedy. Moore had never written anything except for a few short stories and the manuscript for his first novel. However, Epstein was adamant that they had to write the script for the comedy he was making for MTV together. While he did not know anything about scriptwriting Graham thought it would be fun. And so for several years he became a scriptwriter during the day working with his friend Epstein and in the studio during the night. When their studio closed in 2008, he had made a few connections in Hollywood after having written several scripts. His agent invited him to go live in Los Angeles. At this time, all he wanted to do was write novels but the agent assured him that he would find him a job to pay the rent while he completed his novel. The agent paid his airfare and got him his first job writing on the staff of "10 Things I Hate About You" that was airing on ABC. "The Sherlockian" was published in 2010 even though he was still better known as a scriptwriter in Hollywood. He then published "The Last Days of Night" in 2016 to establish his name as one of the most promising literary authors.
Graham Moore's "The Sherlockian" is set in 1893 where Londoners bought their magazines hoping to read of Sherlock Holmes's next adventure, only to find that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had killed the indomitable detective. The unthinkable had happened and London descends into mourning with many railing against Doyle and crowds of people walked around sporting black armbands. But then Doyle had redeemed himself when in 1901 he resurrected the beloved detective. While he had insinuated that the death of Holmes in the novel "The Final Problem" was final, he never bothered to explain why he later changed his mind. After his death, the people in charge of his estate learned that one of his diaries was nowhere to be found. It went missing for decades and had become something of a "Holy Grail" for Sherlock Holmes fans. When Harold White is inducted into "The Baker Street Irregulars," he is thrust into the search for the missing journal. But when a literary scholar is found dead supposedly murdered, Harold uses the methods and wisdom he had amassed from reading Holmes in a quest to find the killer and the missing journal.
Graham Moore's "The Last Days of Night" is set in 1888, where the electric light just made its debut but many streets are still lit by the flicker of gas lamps. The person who controls the technology to convert night into day is set to make a vast fortune and write their name in the books of history. Paul Cravath who is a fresh-faced lawyer out of Columbia has just taken an almost impossible case. He is the attorney for George Westinghouse, who is being sued by Thomas Edison that accuses him of stealing his light bulb invention. By taking the case, he gets the opportunity to rub shoulders with the movers and shakers of New York who conduct insidious dealings in secret. His opponent Edison is a dangerous and wily man who has a lot of resources to call upon including newspapers, private spies and one of the richest men in America, J.P. Morgan. But just like Edison, the young lawyer is determined to win no matter the cost. In his obsessive quest for winning the case, he meets with the brilliant but eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who may just be the man who knows how to beat Edison. Beautiful opera singer Agnes Huntington will also prove a great ally, though the risks he has to take are ever greater as no one is ever what they seem to be.
"The Holdout" by Graham Moore is the story of a fifteen-year-old heiress named Jessica Silver. She has just inherited a real estate fortune worth billions but then on her way home from school, she goes missing with the prime suspect a 25-year-old African American man named Bobby Nock. The ensuing trial traps straight into what preoccupies most Americans: law enforcement, race, sex, class and the garish sins of the famous and the rich. The prosecution believes that they have their man until a young woman named Maya Seale convinces he jurors that Nock did not commit the crime. But their "not guilty" verdict comes back to haunt all them for years. A decade later, the jury reassembles when a network pays them to do a docuseries and Maya who has gone back to school and is now an attorney also joins the series. But then one of the jurors turns up dead in Maya's room and it seems someone is framing her for the murder. She now needs to get to the bottom of a case that seems to have taken a life of its own and prove her innocence while at it. The current investigation soon has threads tying into what happened ten years back as secrets threaten to be revealed putting all involved in danger.

The Berlin Zoo is celebrating the first birth of Rusty-Spotted Cats in its 168-year history. Rusty-Spotted Cats are the world's smallest wild cats, weighing only 2.0 to 3.5 lb (0.9 to 1.6 kg) as adults.
The two kittens were born on August 5, and have only recently begun to leave their den to explore their exhibit. Playful, clumsy, and a little awkward, the two female youngsters are a delight to zoo guests. At birth, kittens typically weigh just 2.0-2.7 ounces (60-77 g).
Native only to Sri Lanka and India, these diminuitive cats are classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and the conversion of wild lands to farms. Rusty-Spotted Cats prefer dense forests and grasslands, emerging at night to hunt for rodents, birds, and lizards.
Little is known about these secretive cats, and few zoos display this species, making these two kitttens especially important for the captive population.

How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion
Even though I tend to draw very peaceful looking characters in most of my pieces, I really like to play with emotions and take some time to do some fun exercises. The more exaggerated the better and you can play a lot with angry expressions!
Let's go over, step by step, on how to draw an angry expression, so that in the end, you can draw your character looking furious and be able to play even more with drawing angry expressions!
Drawing Emotions using the Eyebrows
When drawing any kind of expression, the eyebrows can do most of the work here!
Not sure where to start with the Emotion?
Draw the Eyebrow! Exaggerating a the curves of your eyebrows can change a lot on the expression of your character.
Try putting yourself in front of a mirror and study your reflection.
As you go from expression to expression, you'll notice that in every single one of them, the eyebrows play a very big part in emphasizing it!
Actually, there are a lot of artists and animators that work with a small mirror on their desk.
This way, they can test and watch their reflections as a reference when drawing their characters.
How to Draw an Angry Face with Emotion! Step by step guide by Don Corgi
If you have a small mirror at home, try and do the same: sit at your desk for around 30 minutes or one hour and practice expressions while using yourself as a reference!
Another option is to just look up on the internet some images and make your studies from there.
Remember, when sketching up and drawing, to try and exaggerate the expressions and your lines, it gives more personality and a different motion to your drawings.
Of course, there's the last option, that's a mix of both of these!
Take photos of yourself or a friend.
If jumping between drawing and looking at a mirror seems too complicated, or you can't just a reference image good enough. Then, take a picture of yourself or ask for a friend to pose for you!
Take photos of yourself or a friend to help you getting references to draw emotions like an angry face!
So let's start with our eyebrows first:
Tilting the Eyebrow helps a LOT when trying to convey angry emotions.
Simply tilt it towards the nose, making a very slanted line, with the outside tips going away from the eyes.
The more you tilt them, the more exaggerated your expression will be.
Tilt the eyebrow to make your angry expression stronger!
Of course, if you want a more passive angry face, drawing the eyebrows really close to the eyes to the job. If you want the expression to be very flat but still judgy, draw them almost straight and on top of the eyes.
Once again, the tilted you make them, the angrier it will look like, so it's up to you how you want to convey your character's emotions!
Draw the Eyebrows close to the Eyes to make your expression even angrier!
Larger Eyes Makes Angrier Expressions!
As a general rule, the larger the eye the more emphasis it gives to the expression.
It doesn't matter what kind of shape you're drawing the eyes with, but the bigger you do them, the angrier your character looks.
It's the difference between being angry and furious.
This also works with other emotions: simply scared to terrified, sad to agonized, surprised to astounded and so on.
The size of the eye works like a balance for your emotions.
The bigger, the more emotional it is. So when you're making Angry Eyes and want that extra boost of expression, increase the overall size of the eye. This will make it look extra angry.
In the images below, I give you two examples, one of them you can see that the eye has a very regular size and the other I exaggerated it a lot, making them really big.
A regular sized eye looks like this.
The Larger the eyes, the angrier the expression looks!
Try out both ways and even some other eye sizes in-between so you can really understand the differences, by practicing.
You can even make your drawings, all side by side, scaling them up so you can use it for reference whenever you want to draw angry characters!
On Another Note… Drawing the Iris
We've talked about the size of the eye, let's now talk about yet another important element when drawing expressions: the iris!
When drawing the iris you should draw it small for an angrier expression.
The contrast between a small dot for the iris and a vast white around it, speaks to us, visually, of urgency, panic, and even lunacy.
Draw a tiny Iris to make your expression stronger, like your character is in panic or lunacy.
The size you decide for the iris can make your character look like a real psycho or someone that has completely lost their mind.
For example, someone who's so angry that is way past any kind of logic and reason.
Drawing it too big, can make it look like the character isn't phased at all with what happened, which is also something you can make use of.
A character that is beyond human emotions or a very evil character that doesn't really care what's happening and how much destruction they cause.
If you draw the Iris bigger, you can still make it look like a bad character who doesn't care about all the destruction he's causing.
Once again, you can make the same kind of exercise as before, draw the eyes with different iris sizes, scaling them up and compare each other and how they feel.
Other than the iris, you can also play with the eyebrows and eye size.
Mix and match them and see how many different results you can get!
The Angriest Mouth in the World
Mouths have feelings too!
Well.. kind of.
You can't draw an expression with merely the eyes, the rest as to show the emotion as well, a wrinkled nose goes very well with the angry eyes for example!
The mouth also plays a big role when drawing any kind of expression. One of the easiest ways to express an angry attitude with the mouth is to show some teeth.
Show some teeth! It helps drawing an angry emotion.
Like we talked before, simply try to get angry at the mirror and say something, you'll notice how your teeth tend to show when you're angry.
On another note, an angry *grr* kind of expression almost like a dog works wonders.
The curve of the mouth and its size are two other very important aspects to pay attention to. Depending on it, the way you read the emotion can change a lot!
Let's pick an example, surely you've seen some Batman movies, series, and comics.
Surely you've seen the iconic Joker even if it was in a mug or t-shirt.
His character is a great example when talking about expressions.
He's very expressive and exaggerated. We know he's completely mad and there's no reason left in him, but we don't know this merely by his actions, every tiny visual detail tell us that!
The Joker is a perfect example of someone who has a scary and lunatic face.
"Joker" from The Killing Joke comic, by DC Comics
In a state of pure malice, Joker's face will appear angry, with very tilted eyebrows, big eyes, a tiny dot for an iris and finally, a very opened, big mouth, tilted upwards.
You can tell by the way the mouth curves, he's obviously enjoying his hostility and his "pranks".
So if you're not sure how to draw a character who enjoys how evil they are, Joker will never fail you, look up some comics and you can find a ton of references from it!
Let's take another example: Guts, from Kentaro Miura's famous manga Berserk, is the perfect example of an angry character. An example of someone who turned to anger to find the strength to survive and fight.
Guts from Berserk shows frustration mixed with anger.
The character "Guts" from the Berserk Manga
His mouth, often curves downward, angry, frustrated and when furious his mouth will be drawn opened, showing a lot of teeth, but this time, as oppose to Joker, it tilts upside down.
Guts isn't completely out of his mind, all out of reasoning. Nor does he enjoy it.
No, he's in pain and he's furious, but still very much conscient of his own actions (for the most part, but that's a whole other matter!).
So from this two examples, you can clearly see how you can play with the mouth to change the tone of the emotions you want to portray and how it has such an important role in drawing an expression as the eyes!
Complement the Angry Face with Details!
It's all about the tiny details!
If you've done all the steps and still want to add a little more "oomph" to the face, focus on the details! When drawing a face and expressions, the whole face responds to the emotion.
Wrinkles tend to show around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Same goes with the eyebrows when they grow very close together. Again, try and make a very angry face at your mirror and look at all the lines that appear around your face!
Add some Gleam and details to the eyes to make the expressions look angrier.
If you want to go really overboard with it, you can add some gleam to the eyes or some bits of saliva connecting the teeth and even a tongue showing up!
Once again it's all about experimenting and trying new things, go completely overboard with it. Think of a character, but before drawing it, think about their traits:
Let's say I want to draw a vampire, hungry for blood, insatiable.
An hungry

Fast Fourier Transform
|Proceedings of the Technical Sessions, Institute of Physics Sri Lanka, 28 (2012) 100-105
|The use of feed-forward artificial neural network to categorize a selected set of Sri Lankan bird species based on their vocalization is presented. The inputs to the neural network were frequencies of bird vocalizations where each vocalization was characterized by a frequency range. Out of the selected birds, only two birds showed peak frequency values below 1,000 Hz. The Sri Lanka Scaly Thrush has the maximum average peak frequency of 7,761 Hz and the Green Billed Coucal has the lowest of 334 Hz. The preliminary results show that the artificial neural network which was trained to classify individual birds based on their frequency features had an accuracy of greater than 90% for several bird types

text: To reduce the chance of traffic crashes, many driver monitoring systems (DMSs) have been developed. A DMS warns the driver under abnormal driving conditions. However, traditional approaches require enumerating abnormal driving conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel DMS, which models the driver's normal driving statuses based on sparse reconstruction. The proposed DMS compares the driver's statuses with his/her personal normal driving status model and identifies abnormal driving statuses that greatly change the driver's appearances. The experimental results show good performance of the proposed DMS to detect variant abnormal driver conditions.


How to set up control nodes to make widget properties available to a control app
Control nodes expose widgets in a composition to a control application or the Singular APIs so that you can dynamically update them without having to go into the composition itself.
In this guide, you'll learn how to create control nodes in the data interface and control panel and in the node link browser. The examples show a control node being made for a text widget, but you can also create control nodes for various other types of widgets.
To follow this guide, you'll need a composition. If you don't have one, first learn how to build a composition or extract a composition from a Singular template.
How to create a control node in the data interface and control panel
 1. Open a composition in Composer.
 2. Navigate to the data interface and control panel and select Text from the drop-down menu.
 3. Name the control node in Field name.

Should there be a crucifix in the sanctuary?
Full Question
Our church has a large cross with a figure of the risen Christ attached but no crucifix. Even the processional cross has the risen Christ. Shouldn't there be a crucifix near the altar?
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal instructs that there must be a cross (with a crucified corpus) on or near the altar, "positioned either on the altar or near it, and... clearly visible to the people gathered there" (GIRM 308). In the case where a crucifix is not in the sanctuary, the processional cross with the figure of Christ crucified upon it would be an option.

Banded Coral Shrimp
The Banded Coral Shrimp, Stenopus hispidus is a decapod crustacean, resembling shrimp. It is classified in the infraorder Stenopodidea. More familiar names for this species include Banded Boxer Shrimp, Banded Prawn, Coral Banded Shrimp and Barber-pole Shrimp. This crustacean looks like a shrimp and even shares the common name shrimp, however, it is not truly shrimp.
The shrimp-like crustacean is less than an inch long with red bands wrapping his body, and long, white antennae upon his head. To defend itself from predators, its body is covered with short, sharp spines.
Decapods use their tail to move backwards very quickly to escape danger. Unlike true shrimp that dwell on muddy bottoms to feed, the banded coral shrimp are much cleaner and prefer to dwell in openings in the reef as well as sponges. The crustacean is a popular aquarium pet because of its cleaning reputation. It is capable of removing dead tissue, and algae and parasites from other comrade fish in the tank.
The banded coral shrimp are often found hanging upside down on rocks and shells in anchialine pools and on coral reefs.


Fujitsu develops facial detection AI to quantify concentration levels of people
It has touted that the technology can detect concentration across various tasks.
Fujitsu has developed a new AI model that it claims can capture and quantify how much a person is concentrating when performing tasks.
Conventionally, AI models that are designed to quantify concentration have been created by training algorithms to recognise the expressions and behaviours of people performing specific tasks, such as e-learning, Fujitsu explained.
Facial Recognition with business man
But since facial expressions and behaviour differ depending on the tasks involved and the cultural background in which each person grew up, this meant that it has been difficult to develop AI models that could analyse different, specific situations, the company said.
With its new AI model, Fujitsu claimed that it can detect a person's concentration across various tasks due to it identifying common features and separating analysis by each muscle group so it does not become easily influenced by the subjects' cultural backgrounds.
"The technology captures changes over a short period of a few seconds, such as a tense mouth, and long-term changes over periods of tens of seconds, such as staring intently, with time frames optimised for each action unit," Fujitsu said.
When building the AI model, Fujitsu collected data from 650 people across China, Japan, and the United States as part of its machine learning dataset. The dataset included information focused on people engaging in tasks, like memorisation and searching, that require concentration.
Using the newly developed AI model, the concentration levels of participants in each country was estimated for a series of tasks, and it was possible to estimate the degree of concentration with more than 85% accuracy, Fujitsu claimed.
In addition, when the developed AI model was evaluated using data that included both concentration and non-concentration due to drowsiness, Fujitsu said it was able to confirm declines in concentration due to sleepiness indicators.
Fujitsu hopes the latest AI model can be applied across various services such as online classes, online meetings, and sales activities, which have expanded due to the uptick of remote learning and working.
Across the globe, organisations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have condemned the use of faulty facial recognition systems. In a blog post last year, ACLU senior staff attorney Ashley Gorski said: "Over the last couple years, it's become increasingly clear that facial recognition technology doesn't work well, and would be a civil liberties and privacy nightmare even if it did."
Meanwhile, the Council of Europe published new guidelines at the start of the year that criticised the deployment of facial recognition technologies in workplace and learning contexts.
The watchdog advised that where the technology is used exclusively to determine an individual's skin colour, religious belief, sex, ethnic origin, age, health or social status, the use of facial recognition should be prohibited, unless it can be shown that its deployment is necessary and proportionate.
Under the same conditions, the Council of Europe said the ban should also apply to digital tools that can recognise emotions, detect personality traits, or mental health conditions, as they could be used unfairly in hiring processes or to determine access to insurance and education.

PHOTO: Canadian Fisherman Catches Extremely Rare, Intimidating-Looking Black Lobster
by Madison Miller
As it turns out, there's about 80% of our oceans unmapped and unexplored. This means that there are more than likely undiscovered creatures and organisms surviving right below where we as a society can reach them.
For one fisherman keeping busy at North Lake in Canada, he happened upon an extremely rare sight to see.
Instead of a traditional cherry red lobster, the fisherman caught a rare jet black lobster. The unique color adds a bit of a frightening feeling to the crustacean. It kind of looks like a giant scorpion in some ways, so pulling it out of the water was likely quite the surprise.
As one person commented on the tweet funnily, "Not my favorite of the Marvel spin offs."
While the black lobster is very rare, there are other variations swimming out in the water as well. For example, a split black and orange lobster went viral in 2019.
Where Did the Black Lobster End Up?
According to CNN, a fisherman caught the calico-colored lobster off the coast of Maine. This crustacean is split perfectly down the middle like it was handpainted. The black-and-orange creature is the result of a rare genetic aberration. This means it most definitely did not just end up at a local Red Lobster.
Instead, the fisherman donated it to the Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries. Here it shared a tank with three other rare lobsters — two orange lobsters with what looks like freckles and a dark blue lobster. Both are also incredibly rare.
The odds of catching one of these lobsters is about one in 50 million. This is the same odds as winning a Megabucks jackpot.
Rare Lemur Stolen
It's no secret that there's plenty of animals out there similar to the all black lobster — rare and exciting.
However, there are also many creatures that require protection. This is the case for the rare ring-tailed lemur that called the San Francisco Zoo home.
According to USA Today, a man from California broke into the zoo last year and proceeded to steal this animal. Luckily, the lemur, named Maki, was found safe in nearby Daly City a few days later.
The man responsible, Cory John McGilloway, has recently been charged with one misdemeanor count of violating the Endangered Species Act, which is a federal offense. Now he could be facing a year in prison as well as $50,000 for his crime.
The ring-tailed lemur is defined as endangered as the population of the animal is decreasing.
The El Paso Zoo in Texas also had an issue with a person breaking the rules. In May 2021, a woman trespassed into the spider monkey exhibit. The zoo found out about the incident from a video on social media that shows her under a waterfall trying to feed the monkeys.
The zoo decided to press charges against the woman. Her actions could have been detrimental for both her and the monkeys. The monkeys saw it as an intrusion into their territory.


How long does completing an Assessment take?
While the length of the Assessments varies, most test modules take 10 minutes or less. For example, if an employer has opted to combine two 10-minute test modules, your assessment could take you a total of 20 minutes to complete.
To ensure you have plenty of time, we recommend setting aside 30 minutes where you can focus uninterrupted.

East India Company's Capture of Ceylon Medal, 1807
The island of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, was first taken over from its inhabitants by the Portuguese in 1505; the Dutch replaced them during the seventeenth century. In a campaign from 1795 to 1796 the British East India Company ousted Dutch rule and took the island over.
This medal was issued by the Company to a force of 123 Indian gunners from the Bengal Artillery who served in the campaign. It is unnamed, and the recipient's identity unknown. Lester Watson bought it from the dealer Gifford in 1927.


How to Keep Air Mattress from Deflating Overnight
How To
How to Keep Air Mattress from Deflating Overnight
You probably enjoy sleeping on an air mattress, but the popular phenomenon that most people experience with an air mattress is how it deflates overnight. This phenomenon continues to be a mystery for most people all over the globe. Most of the time you go to sleep on a mattress that is inflated to the full only to wake up in the morning with a deflated unit. Consumers become alarmed when this happens. You wonder if the air mattress is not of good quality, what you did wrong or if it was somehow punctured. After people trying almost all the methods on how to keep air mattress from deflating overnight with little or no success, here are tips you can use to keep your mattress from collapsing overnight.
Looking for the best camping air mattress, check out our previous review here.
How to Keep Air Mattress from Deflating Overnight
How to Keep Air Mattress from Deflating OvernightMake sure your surrounding is clean and checked before laying your mattress
Checking your surrounding is the most basic advice you will ever get. If you own an air mattress, before blowing it up, make sure the area or the surrounding is clean and free from objects. Ignore this, and you will be among the many who ignore and end up facing the consequences. To start with, follow these basic rules:
 - Make sure the room is big enough to accommodate your mattress after it's blown up.
 - Look for sharp objects that might be lying around. These objects can puncture your mattress if it is placed on them.
 - Check for sharp-edged pieces of furniture like sharp edge tables or cabinets. The Sharpe edges can puncture your mattress. If you get a puncture, you'll need to know how to repair an air mattress
 - The material used to construct the air mattress. If it's made of thin gauge materials, you need to be extra careful
Knowing what you need to check for before blowing up your mattress is the best way to avoid deflation. Make sure to avoid blowing your mattress over stones and anything that might puncture it. This is one of the first tips to consider from how to keep air mattress from deflating.
Let your air mattress stretch out
It is natural for an air mattress to stretch after it is fully inflated. It will stretch which will make you with a feeling like it has lost air after you sleep on it. In reality, it is just the expansion of the material and not that fact that it has lost air. It is natural. Other beds will stretch out a lot than others, so depending on your mattress, it can expand more or less.
For the first few nights, the material will naturally stretch. The reason behind this is the facts that the mattress only blew enough to make the bed firmer. If you wake up and find yourself not sunken or sunken slightly, you should not worry because of it naturally. A good thing to do is to inflate the mattress and leave it for a day or two without sleeping or adding any weight on it. This way you will allow the air bed to stretch and avoid any deflation.
Your mattress should be adjusted to the room temperature
An air mattress will always lose a bit of air every time the temperature in your room changes. Turning your heater off or on before you sleep or even opening or closing the window or door will lead to change in the room temperature and eventually affect the air mattress. When the air bed gets colder, it will most certainly lose air.
To help you prevent this, make sure your mattress is adjusted to the room temperature. Since temperature change is a source of air mattress leakage, make sure the temperature is best. If you don't want to keep your heating system running all night, you should consider getting a portable heater, which you can place near the mattress to keep it warm and avoid deflation. Another trick that might help you is blowing up the mattress hours before your bedtime. This way it will get used to the room temperature of your room.
Don't ignore the capacity of the mattress
Every air mattress has its maximum weight capacity. The weight capacity is usually available in the manual and other paperwork's that comes with the air bed. If you are in doubt, the manufacturer will always be happy to help you instead of overloading it. Once you know the capacity, always make sure you stick by them. Don't overload your mattress to avoid deflation.
While it seems like a simple rule to follow, most people flout this rule only to suffer the consequences. You should know that there is always a reason why their weight capacity is there.
Stop your kid from bouncing on the air mattress
Allowing your kids to bounce on the air mattress might be fun for most people, but turn out to be a costly fun. Kids bouncing will create a bubble and lumps on different areas. The bed will also experience consistent air loss in the process, which is something you want to avoid.
Deflate after use
Our last tip on how to keep air mattress from deflating would be deflating after use. If you are planning a camping trip and an air mattress is what you will use to sleep, then it's an idea to allow make sure you let the air out after use. Depending on your preferences, you can fully deflate or deflate a little bit after each night. Deflating help relieves pressure on the material and seams. The mattress will experience minimal pressure, which will help it be in tip-top shape when you use it next. Once you want to use it, you can always inflate it again to its maximum.
Final thoughts
Many people panic when they notice their air mattress deflated overnight. You should always remember that the cause of deflation is not only because of the puncture, but also a few things named above like overloading, allowing kids to bounce on it and much more. If there is no any faulty reason why your air mattress loses air, the above tips on how to keep air mattress from deflating will help you keep your air bed inflated overnight. However, if you notice your air mattress keeps deflating even after taking the precautions above, then check for what caused the leakage. Check for a tear or puncture and fix it to avoid deflating.

Roof Repairs Expose Decay in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)
Structural Timber Repair
Structural CLT timbers suffering both wet and dry rot
A number of causes of ingress were suspect
Project consultants and the Principal Contractor sought a strategy for repair and approached Trace
Trace devised new repair methods using our experience in timber resin splice (TRS) repairs
Trace worked with TRADA (timber research and development association) to verify extent of decay
All repairs subject to staged QA process with full QA documentation produced by Trace for O&M manual
Trace were asked to inspect a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure, where the walls and roof consist of pre-fabricated panels, providing an environmentally sustainable building.
A principal contractor was instructed to undertake roof repairs, and upon removal of the roof covering, it became apparent that timber members had both wet and dry rot present.
At this stage, the Principal Contractor and Structural Engineer had no strategy for repair, and Trace were asked to advise.
We employed our specialist knowledge of structural timber repair, using both traditional and modern resin splice methods to provide proposals and agree the specification.
It is important to note, that to our knowledge, the resin splice repairs which we have devised, have not everbeen completed previously, and are innovative in timber structures of this type. Localised issues could not have been successfully remedied by generalist contractors (it would have required wider replacement), and Trace's specialist knowledge was vital within both the specification and completion of these works.
Methodology had to be agreed with the Engineers, Principal Contractor, and furthermore the Timber Research and Development Association were asked to consult, specifically validating the extent of decay and resultant extent of timber cut out.


How to send two different DocRead tasks from the same base document
It is really easy to use DocRead to assign an item that has been stored in a SharePoint document library or list to groups of users who then must acknowledge the completion of the item leaving an audit trail to prove exactly who has completed what task and when. DocRead allows you to select several SharePoint Groups / Active Directory groups and individuals who will all receive the same instructions and will all be asked to complete the same task.
However if you need two groups of employees to read / complete the same information, but with slightly different requirements then this is also easy to arrange without having to duplicate the initial document or save details in multiple locations by using a link to the document.
For example:
1) If you need Group A to read a document and take an associated quiz but also need Group B to read exactly the same document but who do not need to answer the quiz.
2) If Group C are required to read an item, but it only needs to be recommended to Group D and you wish email messages to contain appropriate messages to be sent to both groups.
How to create two DocRead tasks from the same item
1) Save the item in the required SharePoint library or list.
2) Create a link to the document, this is shown in more detail in the post here.
3) Use DocRead message templates to ensure the email notifications and messages the user receives in the DocRead task window are appropriate for the task.
4) Attach surveys created with DocSurvey as necessary.

The word spatchcocking refers to the process of removing the backbone and breaking the breastbone of a bird. The partially boned fowl can then be spread open and flattened for cooking. While similar to butterflying, the process of spatchcocking implies the use of whole poultry rather than a single cut of meat. It is believed that the word is derived from the term "dispatch the cock."
Spatchcocking a turkey, chicken, or any other poultry results in a bird that takes up less oven space, cooks more evenly and quickly, and is easier to carve.

Magnoliaceae species are considered as an original angiosperm, which has had extensive distribution in the Earth history. It had acted as an important role to origin of angiosperm; and some of species of Magnoliaceae grow quickly and have great development potential to timber, planting in the cities and towns as a greening tree, making into medicine and fragrances. Owing to the forests of different region become more and more severely destroyed and fragmentized, making many Magnoliaceae species falling into threatened condition therefore, how to conserve and explore Magnoliaceae species attract people's attention. In this paper, by the GIS measure, we researched the Magnoliaceae species geographical distribution of Guangdong province China, and discussed the relation between Magnoliaceae species geographical distribution, analyzed the characteristic of different Magnoliaceae species. Based on this research, some protection measure are offered in this paper.

What powers do schools get?
This is a vitally important question. We have all heard the horror stories of schools joining Trusts and then finding out they have lost the power to make their own decisions.
The key is the Scheme of Delegation. This outlines which powers are delegated to school Local Governing Bodies and which sit with the Trustees.
We believe in 'earned autonomy'. If your school is already doing well, why would be change it?
Schools rated 'good' or 'outstanding' are given a generous scheme of delegation by Chorus Education Trust that ensures they have most of the powers they had as a standalone school. 'Requires improvement' and'special measures' schools are given more limited schemes of delegation. However, as the school improves we would hand back more of the powers they once had.
There are certain powers that can't be delegated because the Trustees are ultimately responsible for the schools. For example, the Trust has to report as one financial entity, so Trustees are ultimately responsible for its finances. However, Governing Bodies that have the full set of powers available within the Scheme of Delegation will get their own budget, which they decide how to allocate within their school.
As much as is possible, we want our schools to be able to run their own affairs. We believe that we can add value to a school by bringing in consistent policies and procedures across our schools, providing them with increased purchasing power and a set of well-run, central services - and, most importantly, by allowing all of us to share best practice and skills.


text: All-trans-retinal (AtRal) can accumulate in the retina as a result of excessive exposure to light. The purpose of this study was to compare cytotoxicity of AtRal and photodegraded AtRal (dAtRal) on cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells in dark and upon exposure to visible light. AtRal was degraded by exposure to visible light. Cytotoxicity was monitored by imaging of cell morphology, propidium iodide staining of cells with permeable plasma membrane and measurements of reductive activity of cells. Generation of singlet oxygen photosensitized by AtRal and dAtRal was monitored by time-resolved measurements of characteristic singlet oxygen phosphorescence. Photodegradation of AtRal resulted in a decrease in absorption of visible light and accumulation of the degradation products with absorption maximum at ∼330 nm. Toxicity of dAtRal was concentration-dependent and was greater during irradiation with visible light than in dark. DAtRal was more cytotoxic than AtRal both in dark and during exposure to visible light. Photochemical properties of dAtRal indicate that it may be responsible for the maximum in the action spectra of retinal photodamage recorded in animals. In conclusion, photodegradation products of AtRal may impose a significant threat to the retina and therefore their roles in retinal pathology need to be explored.

Length of hospital stay determines 'usual time'
What is considered the usual postoperative bleeding time following a transurethral resection of the prostate?
A A definition of normal postoperative bleeding time is not published. If one were to follow the definition of the global period as the normal postoperative bleeding time, then a different CPT code would have to be chosen for the treatment of postoperative bleeding during the 90 day postoperative global or the TURP. The best available code for treatment of bleeding, other than code 52606, is 52214.
A second option would be to treat "normal postoperative bleeding time" as the average time for hospitalization following a TURP. This definition makes more sense clinically. Therefore, code 52606 would be used for treatment of postoperative bleeding that occurs after discharge, and bleeding during the hospital stay should be coded as 52214. As mentioned above, the global period of the 52601 is 90 days. Therefore, payment within the global period would require a modifier –78 for treatment of a complication in the operating room during the global period. The –78 could be appended to the code 52606. The –78 could also be appended to code 52214 for the fulguration of bleeding in the area.
A The type of scope (flexible or rigid) does not affect the choice of CPT code for these services. The correct CPT code for reporting this service would be 52353: cystoureteroscopy, with ureteroscopy and or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy (ureteral catheterization is included). If the double-J stent is left indwelling, the code is 52332-59.
Q What is the proper code for a flexible nephroscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy and insertion of double-J catheter?
A The appropriate code for a percutan-eous nephroscopy/pyeloscopy with lithotripsy would be 50581. However, if the procedure (a pyeloscopy with lithotripsy) was performed through a ureteroscope, then you would code it exactly as answered in the previous question.
Q Our docs performed a right ureteral stent placement with surgical repair of the lower third right ureter during a surgery for ileostomy. When the stent was placed in the ureter, they came in through the kidney first, then the ureter, and finally the bladder. They went backwards. Do I code the same as if they went the other way?
A Coding for the placement of a stent in this fashion would be most closely reflected by the coding of an antegrade stent placement. Per the description above, it sounds as if a catheter was inserted and an endoscope was used. If this is the case, use code 50572, renal endoscopy through nephrotomy or pyelotomy, with or without irrigation, instillation, or ureteropyelography, exclusive of radiologic service; with ureteral catheterization, with or without dilation of ureter. A –52 or –22 could be added to slightly modify the description if desired.
If, in fact, a stent was placed in the ureter through an open incision without the use of the endoscope, then code 50605, ureterotomy for insertion of indwelling stent, all types, might best describe the service provided.


10 reasons your kids need their cousins growing up
Family gatherings are an important part of growing up, especially if your kids have cousins similar in age.
Most of us remember hanging out with our cousins at family barbecues or we may have even been lucky enough to live close by and even go to school, or be in the same class, as a relative.
In fact, cousins play a vital role in a child's development and social interactions.

Here are 10 reasons why your kids need their cousins….
1. Cousins are your first best friends
Siblings are too – but cousins are like siblings that don't annoy you as much! Plus, they're more like a friend as you can have sleepovers at your cousin's house!
2. You'll always have someone to hang out with at family gatherings
It's nice to have someone to hang out with at Great Aunt May's annual family tea. Family gathering are so much better and less of a chore if your cousins are there when you're younger.
3. It's basically like having more siblings
This is great if you are an only child. If you only have a brother, you may have a female cousin or vice versa. It's like having lots of siblings that you don't have to share all your toys with all of the time!
4. It's easier to make plans with cousins
If your parents are going to visit their siblings then it's easy to make plans for playdates with your cousins.
5. You can share hand-me-downs
If you have a cousin that lives nearby, chances are you'll have clothes for life!

6. You'll always have someone to confide in
Kids are always going to complain about their parents, let's face it. Having a cousin to vent to is always handy, as they will understand more where you're coming from.
7. You're connected for life
Like siblings, cousins are family. You share grandparents, aunts, uncles and other cousins. That's super special.
8. You have more role models
Whether you're the youngest or the oldest child in your family, chances are there will either be someone older than you or younger than you when you have cousins.
Things, like manners, can be learnt from older cousins. Exposure to more people is always a good thing when it comes to learning social cues.

9. You get to reminisce with cousins
Not many people get to see their friends on Christmas Day, but chances are, you'll spend it with your cousins. This way, you make so many personal memories that you can look back on later in life.
10. Cousins love each other unconditionally
Friends often come and go as you grow up, but your cousins will be there from birth until adulthood. There may be bickers but they'll resolve quickly because of those family connections.

Fort Jackson Elementary School / Hood Street Elementary School
Fort Jackson Elementary School was one of the first public schools in S.C. to desegregate when classes began on September 3, 1963. The first school on post and one of the first permanent buildings at Fort Jackson, it was built in only three months. A new federal policy required all schools on military bases to admit African-American students instead of sending them to separate schools off-base.
Hood Street Elementary School
This school opened under Principal Thomas Silvester with nine civilian teachers and 245 students in Grades 1-6. A newspaper article described it as "operated without regard to race, creed or color." Fort Jackson Elementary School, later renamed Hood Street Elementary School after additional schools opened on post, has served the families of Fort Jackson servicemen and servicewomen for more than 45 years.

Can anything be said about the measure of the topological boundary of a Cacciopoli set in $R^n$? Of course, the reduced boundary has finite (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, but this does not say anything about the topological boundary, for instance, points with density 0 or 1 can still be part of the boundary.
My precise question: if $E$ is a Caccioppoli set, does there exist a measurable Cacciopoli set $F$, such that $E\triangle F$ and $\partial F$ are both Lebesgue null sets?

The answer is no. Take countably many disjoint closed balls $B_i$ contained in the square $Q=[0,1]\times [0,1]$ and such that:
(i) Sum of areas of $B_i$ is less than 1
(ii) Sum of perimeters of $B_i$ is finite
(iii) $\bigcup B_i$ is dense in $Q$
Since the series $\sum \chi_{B_i}$ converges in BV norm, the set $E=Q\setminus \bigcup B_i$ has finite perimeter. It also has positive measure and empty interior. Any representative $F$ of the set $E$ also has empty interior and therefore $\partial F$ is not Lebesgue null.
By the way, any Lebesgue measurable set E has a representative F with the property
(*) $0<|F\cap B(x,r)|<|B(x,r)|$ for all $x\in\partial F$ and all $r>0$.
The proof is straightforward: add the points x for which $|E\cap B(x,r)|=|B(x,r)|$ for some r, and throw out all points x such that $|E\cap B(x,r)|=0$ for some $r$. (See Prop. 3.1 in "Minimal surfaces and functions of bounded variation" by E. Giusti.) By virtue of (*) the set $F$ has the smallest (w.r.t inclusion) topological boundary among all representatives of $E$, so if this representative doesn't help you, nothing does.

Thanks! This was the kind of answer I was looking for. My question actually came from the result of E. Giusti you mention. I was hoping to sharpen it, but clearly this is not possible. – Martijn Jan 8 '10 at 11:45

Overview for Multivariate EWMA Chart
Use Multivariate EWMA Chart to simultaneously monitor two or more related process characteristics in an exponentially weighted control chart. In the multivariate EWMA chart, each plotted point includes weighting from all previous data, which helps you to detect small process shifts quicker than you can with other multivariate control charts. The Multivariate EWMA chart is the multivariate counterpart to the EWMA chart.
For example, use a multivariate EWMA chart to monitor temperature and pressure in a plastic injection-molding process. Because temperature and pressure both affect the plastic strength, the engineer wants to monitor these variables at the same time.
No points are above the upper control limit, so the variability can be considered stable. However, the points that are higher than the rest that could be investigated.
Where to find this control chart
To create a multivariate EWMA chart, choose Stat > Control Charts > Multivariate Charts > Multivariate EWMA.
When to use an alternate control chart
If variables are not correlated, use EWMA Chart.

A barometer shows that an air pressure inside of a rocket before the launch is 10^5 pa. What is the change of air temperature inside the rocket during its launch, if the air pressure is increased to 1.2*10^5 pa ?
The rocket accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s^2.
The process inside of the rocket is an isochoric process because a volume of the air inside is constant.
The equation of the isochoric process is
P1/T1=P2/T2 , where P1 is the initial pressure, P2 is the final pressure, T1 is the initial temperature and T2 is the final temperature.
1×10^5 / T1 = 1.2×10^5 / T2
T2 / T1 = 1.2
Finally, the air temperature is increased 1.2 times.


text: In the face of challenges like drought and growing demand in many European Union countries, it will be important to achieve a balanced mix of pricing and non-pricing measures to ensure efficient household water use. This report commissioned by the European Environment Agency (EEA) analyzes existing pricing and non-pricing measures for managing water demand in eight European countries. It finds that all monitored countries have mechanisms in place to provide an incentive for a more efficient water use in the domestic sector. But the evidence on the real incentives created by existing pricing (tariffs) for more efficient water use is scarce, if available at all. In some countries (Germany, Denmark, Spain and France) price does not appear to be a significant determinant of water demand. The report concludes that while water pricing will continue to be an important instrument to signal water scarcity and water costs, it should be complemented with non-price policies, such as education or awareness campaigns. The report is available to download on the Eionet website.
