Do Guinea Fowl Lay Eggs?
Guinea fowl, also called guineas, are game birds that are becoming popular among backyard poultry owners.
They are indigenous to Africa and one of the oldest gallinaceous birds. Guineas are largely disease-free, hardy, and vigorous birds.
Do guinea fowl lay eggs?
Guinea hens lay eggs but not during the winter months. Laying for the year commences in the spring and continues through the summer and fall. Guinea fowls usually stop laying eggs when the days start getting shorter.
Guinea Fowl on Grass
Except when broody, a guinea hen can lay an egg daily during her laying season. This can yield 6-7 eggs a week per hen.
Do Guinea Hens Lay Eggs?
Guinea hens lay eggs once they mature. The hens lay their first eggs in the first spring of adulthood.
Every day for the first 3 years, a guinea fowl will continue to lay eggs.
Guineas are not particular about where to lay their eggs. Once they find a suitable spot, they make their nests start laying.
Guinea hen nets are usually hard to find. Guineas prefer to nest in long grass, woods, or any place that gives them protection from predators.
When guinea hens are laying their eggs during the day, the male usually acts as a lookout keeping an eye out for predators.
Guineas can sometimes become communal layers. They will lay their eggs in one nest until the number of eggs is sufficient.
Sometimes, this number can be as many as 50. The hens also practice communal brooding, as they take turns sitting on the eggs.
How Many Eggs Do Guinea Hens Lay?
When guinea fowl mate in the wild, they do so in pairs. Domesticated guineas may also adopt this breeding style if there is an equal number of males to females.
These pairs typically wander off as the breeding season arrives to search for good nesting sites.
Guineas are known to be seasonal egg layers. They can lay eggs daily between April and October, with the frequency depending on their location. You can get an egg on most days during their laying season.
Three Guinea Fowl eggs
The number of eggs laid by a guinea hen is usually around 90-130 eggs per season.
On average, one can expect 100 eggs per season. For some prolific layers, like the Black Star and Rhode Island Red, you can expect around 300 eggs a year.
When compared to chickens, guinea hens lay eggs for a shorter period. Also, around 3-5 years of age, their egg production begins to slow down.
How Big Are Guinea Fowl Eggs Compared to Chicken and Duck Eggs?
Guinea fowl eggs are smaller than the eggs of a chicken or a duck.
On average, 2 guinea fowl eggs together add up to the size of a single duck egg or a large chicken egg.
Guinea fowl eggs are usually creamy with light brown spots. The small end of the eggs is more pointed than the egg of a chicken or a duck.
The yolk to white ratio of a guinea fowl egg is higher than that of a chicken egg. The eggshell is harder to crack open than that of a chicken egg.
At What Age Do Guinea Hens Start to Lay Eggs?
Guinea hens start laying eggs around 20-32 weeks of age. They usually lay their first eggs during the spring after they are hatched.
Guinea hens start laying eggs when daylight hours increase and the temperature starts getting warm
They are seasonal layers, and they only lay from spring through fall. In the offseason or the fall of the year they hatched, some young hens may lay a few random eggs.

Do Guinea Hens Make Good Mothers?
Unlike chicken hens, guinea hens do not make good mothers.
While this might sound harsh, here are some reasons why they don't make the best parents to their young.
 - Before all the eggs hatch, some guinea hens tire and are not broody. Some moms move their keets to a new nest without waiting for their remaining eggs to hatch.
 - Some moms stay until the hatch is complete and then get tired of motherhood. They will abandon their keets, who are left alone to die.
 - Some guinea hens end up taking the keets across a damp field where they get wet, freeze, or die.
 - When a guinea hen makes her nest inside a safe henhouse, the eggs will remain unharmed, keeping the keets dry and safe from predators. However, it may allow the rest of the flock to put the keets through a brutal pecking ritual, which they may not survive.
 - When in a coop with other adult birds, keets are exposed to contaminated bedding, worms, and coccidia.
 - In some cases, keets can end up drowning in water without the adults trying to save them.
 - You can discover a guinea hen nest with 50 eggs or more without a broody mom. Predators like snakes, raccoons, or skunks will find the nest and destroy it, eating all its contents and breaking the rest.
 - A mom can accidentally step on her keet, crushing it in the process.
 - Keets often go unwatched or without nurturing, and if they wander from the nest they are left to die.
Some guinea hens still make good moms. They do this by protecting their nest of eggs and keets the best way they can.
Guinea Fowls with Baby
Some guinea hens will try to protect the nest when there is a predator attack. They will hiss and dart at a predator that is bigger and stronger than them.
In some cases, a guinea hen may even die from a predator attack if she is broody outdoors.
How Long Do Guinea Fowl Eggs Need to Incubate?
The guinea fowl egg incubation period usually lasts between 26 to 28 days, which happens to be similar to that of turkeys.
Since guinea hens do not always make good mothers, you can get a chicken to brood around 25 guinea keets in your backyard.
Final Thoughts
Guinea fowl lay eggs, but they are not usually kept for their egg production.
They give around 100 eggs per year, which is significantly below what chickens produce.
If you are rearing guinea fowls for other reasons, having them lay eggs is a plus.
Guinea fowl only lay in warm seasons, so you should only expect eggs from them from spring through summer.

MLC Spacerite Condensed Roman
Digital font based on Spacerite's original Condensed Roman alphabet. Both OpenType and TrueType formats included with the download.
SKU: MLC-CondensedRoman-SR Category: Tag:
Spacerite Condensed Roman basic character map
Monument Roman: Condensed
Created for sandblast engraving, this alphabet was designed to accompany the Spacerite Modified Roman alphabet. Typically used for given names and dates. The alphabet saw most of its usage from the 1940s through the 1990s, and some manufacturers still use the Spacerite letter sets today.
The designer of the alphabet is currently unknown.
The Spacerite Condensed Roman alphabet was likely created in the early 1940s. According to a blueprint design book produced by Sand-Craft Services of Oshkosh, WI, it was still a relatively new alphabet when the book was printed in 1948. The alphabet is a condensed version of the Spacerite Modified Roman, meant to be used for names and dates in smaller panels or where the Modified Roman would not fit. By this time the Spacerite sets were being used almost exclusively for sandblasting, and the change is reflected in the thicker serifs given to this alphabet wich allows for better sandblasting than the previous two roman styles created by the company.

The original alphabet contained what is believed to be the first ampersand available for a Spacerite alphabet, as well as periods, a dash, and a bullet. All other punctuation and extra characters have been created by the MLC.


text: This paper proposes an innovative contactless hand geometry recognition system. We present a novel hand tracking approach to automatically detect and capture the geometrical features of the hand from low resolution video stream. No constraint is imposed and the subject can place his/her hand naturally on top of the sensor without touching any device. Conventional hand geometry systems require fairly precise positioning of the hand in order to obtain accurate measures of the hand. However, the proposed contactless approach does not fix any guidance pegs to help placing the hand at the right position when the image is acquired. As a result, the hand image may appear larger when the hand is placed near the sensor, and vice versa. Besides, the hand can be positioned at different angles. In other words, there is no way to obtain standard and constant hand measurements from this contactless setting. This research aims to deal with this complication when we have to get accurate measurements of the hand from images with varying sizes and directed at different orientations. Experiments show that our proposed method offers promising result for hand geometry recognition in a real-time contactless environment.

XF external tables that specify one of these profiles, and the external table relied on column index-based mapping, you may be required to drop and recreate the tables:
 1. Identify all PXF external tables that you created that specify a Hive or HiveRC profile.
 2. For each external table that you identify in step 1, examine the definitions of both the PXF external table and the referenced Hive table. If the column names of the PXF external table do not match the column names of the Hive table:
 1. Drop the existing PXF external table. For example:
 DROP EXTERNAL TABLE pxf_hive_table1;

 2. Recreate the PXF external table using the Hive column names. For example:
 CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE pxf_hive_table1( hivecolname int, hivecolname2 text )
 LOCATION( 'pxf://default.hive_table_name?PROFILE=Hive')
 FORMAT 'custom' (FORMATTER='pxfwritable_import');

 3. Review any SQL scripts that you may have created that reference the PXF external table, and update column names if required.
 9. Synchronize the PXF configuration from the master host to the standby master and each Greenplum Database segment host. For example:
 gpadmin@gpmaster$ $GPHOME/pxf/bin/pxf cluster sync

 10. Start PXF on each segment host as described in Starting PXF.

UmAlQuraCalendar.ToFourDigitYear Method
Converts the specified year to a four-digit year by using the TwoDigitYearMax property to determine the appropriate century.
Namespace: System.Globalization
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public override int ToFourDigitYear(
 int year
Type: System.Int32
A 2-digit year from 0 through 99, or a 4-digit Um Al Qura calendar year from 1318 through 1450.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32
If the year parameter is a 2-digit year, the return value is the corresponding 4-digit year. If the year parameter is a 4-digit year, the return value is the unchanged year parameter.
year is outside the range supported by this calendar.
The ToFourDigitYear method uses the year parameter, the TwoDigitYearMax property, and a year to calculate a 4-digit year. The century is determined by finding the sole occurrence of the 2-digit year parameter within that 100-year range. For example, if TwoDigitYearMax is set to 1429, the 100-year range is from 1330 through 1429. Therefore, a 2-digit value of 30 is interpreted as 1330, while a 2-digit value of 29 is interpreted as 1429.
If the TwoDigitYearMax property is the special value 99, the ToFourDigitYear method ignores the settings in the regional and language options in Control Panel and returns the year parameter unchanged.
The year parameter can be either a two-digit year or a four-digit year. If year is a two-digit year value (less than 100), the method converts year to a four-digit value according to the TwoDigitYearMax value representing the appropriate century. If year is a four-digit year value that is within the supported calendar range, the method returns year unchanged. If year is a four-digit value that is outside the supported calendar range, or if it is a negative value, the method throws an exception.

Sampling Ports and Probes SAMswivel
Sampling Ports and Probes
Within their product range "Sampling Ports and Probes", REMBE® Kersting has developed the SAMswivel. This sampler is suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. Whether it's food, feed, plastics, funnels, silos or containers, the SAMswivel offers nearly limitless possibilities.
The device is characterized by its simple assembly and offers versatile applications. Sampling is enabled by manually opening the sampler, ensuring flexibility in various application areas. In addition, the SAMswivel can be operated either manually or pneumatically, depending on the specific requirements and preferences of the user. These features make the SAMswivel a versatile and user-friendly tool for sampling in a variety of industrial contexts.
For sampling with the SAMswivel, the sampler is integrated into the process in such a way that the sample opening is directed downwards. As soon as a sample is to be taken, this is rotated using a handle outside the process. This is done either manually or pneumatically, depending on the version. As soon as the opening is facing upwards, the sample tube fills completely with material, until the opening is moved downwards again. A collection bottle is mounted under the SAMswivel to collect the sample.


What Is Marketable Surplus?
by Ronald Kimmons
By describing something as "marketable," people in the business world mean that it is fit to sell on the market. Surplus is the amount of product that a company manufactures or produces in excess of what is necessary to continue operations. Marketable surplus is a term that agriculturalists use to refer to a specific type of surplus that farmers and ranchers deal with.
Farming requires investment. Farmers must make financial investments in labor, tools, fertilizer and land. They must also invest in seeds. If it is the farmer's first year to grow a certain crop, he probably has to purchase seeds from someone else. A farmer must also invest in the form of personal labor. The marketable surplus for an agricultural entrepreneur is the surplus of produce that exists after the point at which he can make back any money he paid to laborers or used to buy tools, fertilizer and land. If he takes some of the crop for his own family's consumption and to use as seed for the next year, he must account for this as well before calculating the marketable surplus. In this way, marketable surplus is what a farmer makes for his personal labor.
Marketable surplus is the portion of a harvest that a farmer can sell on the market to earn a profit. With this profit she can reinvest into farming operations by purchasing more land or better farming equipment. She may also simply save this profit or use it to purchase personal items.
In agriculture, farmers and ranchers can never know exactly how much product their efforts will yield for a particular season until it is over. For this reason, a farmer may not know what his marketable surplus will be until he actually harvests his fields. This uncertainty of the size of a crop's marketable surplus lends a certain level of uncertainty to the farmer's income expectations.
Marketed Surplus
Another term that closely relates to marketable surplus is marketed surplus. In some cases, these terms may be interchangeable. The principal difference is time perspective: marketable surplus is produce that a farmer currently has on hand to take to market to earn a profit, while marketed surplus is what she has already taken to market to earn a profit.

Class Features
All the following are class features of the psion.
Choose the powers known from the psion power list, or from the list of powers of your chosen discipline. You cannot choose powers from restricted discipline lists other than your own discipline list. You can choose powers from disciplines other than your own if they are not on a restricted discipline list. (Exception: The feats Expanded Knowledge and Epic Expanded Knowledge do allow a psion to learn powers from the lists of other disciplines or even other classes.) A psion can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against psion powers is 10 + the power's level + the psion's Intelligence modifier. Maximum Power Level Known: A psion begins play with the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, a psion may gain the ability to master more complex powers.
A psicrystal is a fragment of a psionic character's personality, brought into physical form and a semblance of life (via the Psicrystal Affinity feat). A psicrystal appears as a crystalline construct about the size of a human hand.
Because it is an extension of its creator's personality, a character's psicrystal is in some ways a part of him. That's why, for example, a psionic character can manifest a personal range power on his psicrystal even though normally he can manifest such a power only on himself.
A psicrystal is treated as a construct for the purposes of all effects that depend on its type.
A psicrystal grants special abilities to its owner, as shown on the Psicrystal Special Abilities table below. In addition, a psicrystal has a personality (being a fragment of the owner's personality), which gives its owner a bonus on certain types of checks or saving throws, as given on the Psicrystal Personalities table below. These special abilities and bonuses apply only when the owner and the psicrystal are within 1 mile of each other.
Psicrystal abilities are based on the owner's levels in psionic classes. Levels from other classes do not count toward the owner's level for purposes of psicrystal abilities.
A psicrystal can speak one language of its owner's choice (so long as it is a language the owner knows). A psicrystal can understand all other languages known by its owner, but cannot speak them. This is a supernatural ability.
Psicrystal Basics: Use the statistics for a psicrystal, but make the following changes.
Saving Throws: A psicrystal uses its owner's base saving throw bonuses and ability modifiers on saves, though it doesn't enjoy any other bonuses its owner might have (from magic items or feats, for example).
Abilities: When its self-propulsion ability is not activated, a psicrystal has no Strength score and no Dexterity score.
Skills: A psicrystal has the same skill ranks as its owner, except that it has a minimum of 4 ranks each in Spot, Listen, Move Silently, and Search. (Even if its owner has no ranks in these skills, a psicrystal has 4 ranks in each.) A psicrystal uses its own ability modifiers on skill checks.

Psicrystal Ability Descriptions: All psicrystals have special abilities (or impart abilities to their owners) depending on the level of the owner, as shown on the table above. The abilities on the table are cumulative.
Natural Armor Adj. (Ex): This number noted here is an improvement to the psicrystal's natural armor bonus (normally 0). It represents a psicrystal's preternatural durability.
Intelligence Adj. (Ex): Add this value to the psicrystal's Intelligence score. Psicrystals are as smart as people (though not necessarily as smart as smart people).
Alertness (Ex): The presence of a psicrystal sharpens its master's senses. While a psicrystal is within arm's reach (adjacent to or in the same square as its owner), its owner gains the Alertness feat.
Improved Evasion (Ex): If a psicrystal is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Personality (Ex): Every psicrystal has a personality. See Psicrystal Personality, below.
Self-Propulsion (Su): As a standard action, its owner can will a psicrystal to form spidery, ectoplasmic legs that grant the psicrystal a land speed of 30 feet and a climb speed of 20 feet. The legs fade into nothingness after one day (or sooner, if the owner desires).
Share Powers (Su): At the owner's option, he can have any power (but not any psi-like ability) he manifests on himself also affect his psicrystal. The psicrystal must be within 5 feet of him at the time of the manifestation to receive the benefit. If the power has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the psicrystal if it moves farther than 5 feet away, and will not affect the psicrystal again, even if it returns to its owner before the duration expires.
Additionally, the owner can manifest a power with a target of "You" on his psicrystal (as a touch range power) instead of on himself. The owner and psicrystal cannot share powers if the powers normally do not affect creatures of the psicrystal's type (construct).
Sighted (Ex): Although it has no physical sensory organs, a psicrystal can telepathically sense its environment as well as a creature with normal vision and hearing. Darkness (even supernatural darkness) is irrelevant, as are areas of supernatural silence, though a psicrystal still can't discern invisible or ethereal beings. A psicrystal's sighted range is 40 feet.
Telepathic Link (Su): The owner has a telepathic link with his psicrystal out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The owner cannot see through the psicrystal's senses, but the two of them can communicate telepathically as if the psicrystal were the target of a mindlink power manifested by the owner. For instance, a psicrystal placed in a distant room could relay the activities occurring in that room.
Because of the telepathic link between a psicrystal and its owner, the owner has the same connection to an item or place that the psicrystal does. For instance, if his psicrystal has seen a room, the owner can teleport into that room as if he has seen it too.
Deliver Touch Powers (Su): If the owner is 3rd level or higher, his psicrystal can deliver touch powers for him. If the owner and psicrystal are in contact at the time the owner manifests a touch power, he can designate his psicrystal as the "toucher." The psicrystal can then deliver the touch power just as the owner could. As usual, if the owner manifests another power before the touch is delivered, the touch power dissipates.
Telepathic Speech (Ex): If the owner is 5th level or higher, the psicrystal

To clarify the fractal natures of electromagnetic radiations prior to earthquakes, we conducted a friction experiment simulating the essential elements of the motion of an asperity on a fault plane, and observed the generation of photon emissions around frictional contacts due to the dielectric breakdown of ambient gases by frictional electrification. According to the fractal distribution of fault asperities, we show that the frictional discharge (plasma generation) at asperities on the fault plane can be one of origins of the fractal seismo-electromagnetic radiation prior to earthquakes.

Recap: Purple Sage Farms
Tim and Mike Sommer of Purple Sage Farms in Middleton, Idaho hosted NCAP's first field day for the season.
Above: Tim Sommer shows guests the greenhouse at Purple Sage Farms
Nearly 50 farmers, master gardeners, agency personnel and community members toured one of the oldest certified organic farms in Idaho.
This father and son team gave a tour of their greenhouses, where they grow a large variety of herbs, greens and specialty produce. Tim described how he focused on the food and flavors when he started the farm.
They showed how they work hard to keep weeds under control and harvest weed-free greens, including the use of drip irrigation, buried drip, plastic mulch, crop rotation, and hula hoes.
Tim and Mike also discussed the importance of livestock to their farm. They make their own compost, which along with cover cropping provides the bulk of their fertility program in the greenhouses.
As a follow-up to NCAP's winter workshop featuring post-harvest handling, wash stations and pack sheds for produce growers, Tim and Mike provided a tour of their washing and packing facilities. Daughter Arlie Sommer, who works for an online local food market and distributor called Idaho's Bounty, updated farmers on the Food and Drug Administration's new proposed food safety rules.
Conversations continued over a meal featuring organic and local produce prepared by Bon Appetit at the College of Idaho.
NCAP will continue its educational field days with a tour at Wood River Organics in Bellevue, ID on July 31. Register HERE.

text: Performing in musical ensembles can be viewed as a dual task that requires simultaneous attention to a high priority �target� auditory pattern (e.g., a performer�s own part) and either (a) another part in the ensemble or (b) the aggregate texture that results when all parts are integrated. The current study tested the hypothesis that metric frameworks (rhythmic schemas) promote the efficient allocation of attentional resources in such multipart musical contexts. Experiment 1 employed a recognition memory paradigm to investigate the effects of attending to metrical versus nonmetrical target patterns upon the perception of aggregate patterns in which they were embedded. Experiment 2 required metrical and nonmetrical target patterns to be reproduced while memorizing different, concurrently presented metrical patterns that were also subsequently reproduced. Both experiments included conditions in which the different patterns within the multipart structure were matched or mismatched in terms of best-fitting meter. Results indicate that dual-task performance was best in matched-metrical conditions, intermediate in mismatched-metrical conditions, and worst in nonmetrical conditions. This suggests that metric frameworks may facilitate complex musical interactions by enabling efficient allocation of attentional resources.

Location: Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati
Time of Celebration: Mid June
Highlights: Dedicated to Ma Kamakhya (Ma Kamrupa)
The fairs in Assam, as in any other part of India, are associated with religious ceremonies in the temples. The most popular among these is the Ambubachi Fair. Celebrated in the urban area of Guwahati, it is the most important fair of the state, which revolves around the Kamakhya temple. Situated on top of the Nilachal hills of western Guwahati, the temple is one of the most important Shakti shrines in the entire country. The residing Goddess of the temple is known as Ma Kamakhya or Ma Kamrupa.
Ambubachee Mela takes place during the month of Ahar (according to the Assamese calendar) i.e. around the middle of June, when Ma Kamakhya is worshipped in the form of a yoni (uterus)-like stone, over which a natural spring flows. The fair is, in fact, the worship of the female process of menstruation. It is believed that during these months, the creative and the fostering power of the 'menses' of Mother Earth becomes available to devotees at this site. The temple remains closed for 3 days, as the Goddess is considered impure during these days.
On the 4th day, the deity is bathed to regain purity and many rituals are performed. It is only after this that the doors of the temple are opened to the devotees. Mythology has it that after the death of His beloved Sati, Lord Shiva was in great distress and while flying through the skies, dropped her body parts on the earth. The area where her yoni settled is called as Kamakhya. At the time of fair, the blessings of the Goddess come in mainly two forms - the fluid part of her body (Angadhak) i.e. the water from the stream and the cloth covering her body (Angabastra) during the time of menstruation. Thousands of devotees and tourists line up every year to get a glimpse of the Goddess.

Watch Glowline Video
Located on a section of the Elizabeth River Trail, The Glowline is the fourth luminous trail in the U.S. and the first on the East Coast. The primary goal of the Glowline project was safety, as this section of the trail was poorly lit during night.
The Elizabeth River Trail Foundation spent a lot of time on research, and tested numerous types of alternative lighting for this special project. They came to the conclusion that glow stones from Ambient Glow Technology provided the best results. The 800 feet long, 12 feet wide concrete path was created using AGT™ ULTRA Emerald Yellow 1/2" Glow Stones. The stones are made using a proprietary process that absorb UV light from the sun during the day, then instantly glow in the dark for up to 15+ hours afterward.
"We tried a variety of materials, and these stones were the brightest and glowed the longest," - Kindra Greene, executive director of the Elizabeth River Trail Foundation.
Steps of installation:
- The old asphalt trail was removed.
- A concrete bed was put in place.
- The glow stones were then added to a top layer of concrete, using stencils made in the shape of fiddle ferns.
- After curing, the top layer of concrete was lightly ground down to expose the stones.
The path to a brighter future is lit by glowing stones. These innovative alternatives offer an environmentally friendly and magical way of illuminating any path or walkway in your city.


Inverts the transform.
Name Type Description
When you invert a transform, a rotation clockwise becomes an identical rotation anti-clockwise. A translation to the left becomes a translation to the right. A zoom in becomes a zoom out.
Note that not every transform can be inverted. If you specify a magnification of zero, you have shrunk your world space to a point. In this case, it is not possible to invert the transform to get the original back again. However, this kind of transform is uncommon in the real world and normally only occurs as a result of programming errors.
If you apply the invert method to a non-invertable transform, the transform will remain unmodified.
Here, we add some text rotated at 45 degrees anti-clockwise around the middle of the document. We then invert the transform and draw some more text. Because the transform has been inverted, the text now appears rotated 45 degrees clockwise.
Set theDoc = Server.CreateObject("ABCpdf11.Doc")
theDoc.FontSize = 72
theDoc.Rect = "0 0 999 999"
theDoc.Pos = "302 396"
theDoc.Transform.Rotate 45, 302, 396
theDoc.AddText "45 Degrees"
theDoc.Pos = "302 396"
theDoc.AddText "Inverted"

John Boaz has recently graduated from Birmingham City University with a degree in Visual Communication (Photography). He is primarily a documentary and portrait photographer, looking at and visually meditating on the diversity of humanity taking a visually poetic and sensitive approach.
"I have always had a love for the complexity, diversity and beauty within humanity. I feel that my personal faith in God is what gives me purpose and drives my creativity, it gives me compassion and empathy towards others from different contexts. I try to capture the beauty within something, the deeper messages of life and its fragility."
John's latest series 'Our Father' is a reflective and contemplative documentary series that consists of a mixture of portraiture, still life and visual observation. The series is based on the monks and nuns of monastic communities within Britain that are still currently active today. It seeks to explore the themes of spirituality, faith, peace and human connection in a way that is visually both poetic and creative. It is a small insight into monastic life and the lives of the monks and nuns who have devoted their whole life to seeking God and expressing their faith in a simple but yet deep way through their expression of lifestyle. 'Our Father' also explores the beauty in the hope, love and mystery of faith in Jesus. As a whole this series aims to be rooted in a mixture of both visual observation and meditation, seeking to document these communities with sensitivity and respect. It is an ongoing series that has a vision of documenting the majority of monastic communities throughout Britain.

See this example for iterating an integer generic list:

let genList = new List()
for x in genList do
 printf "%d" x

match Seq.tryfind ((=) "") caseList with
 None -> print_string "didn't find it"
 | Some s -> printfn "found it: %s" s
share|improve this answer
A C# list is called a ResizeArray in F#. To find an element within the ResizeArray you can use "tryfind" or "find". TryFind returns an option type (Option), which means if the element is not found, you'll get None. Find on the other hand raises an exception if it doesn't find the element you're looking for
let foo() =
 match CaseList |> ResizeArray.tryfind (fun x -> x.caseObj = "imlookingforyou") with
 |None -> print-string ""notfound
 |Some(case ) -> printfn "found %s" case
let foo()
 let case = ResizeArray.find (fun x -> x.caseObj = "imlookingforyou")
 printfn "found %s" case
 | _ -> print_string "not found"
share|improve this answer
That kind of list is also an IEnumerable so you can still use F#'s for elt in list do notation:
for caseObj in CaseList do
 if caseObj.CaseId = "" then

type foo = {
 id : int;

let foos = [{id=1; value="one"}; {id=2; value="two"}; {id=3; value="three"} ]
// This will return Some foo
List.tryfind (fun f -> f.id = 2) foos

Check if value exists in enum in TypeScript
I recieve a number type = 3 and have to check if it exists in this enum:
export const MESSAGE_TYPE = {
 INFO: 1,
 SUCCESS: 2,
 WARNING: 3,
 ERROR: 4,
};
The best way I found is by getting all Enum Values as an array and using indexOf on it. But the resulting code isn't very legible:
if( -1 < _.values( MESSAGE_TYPE ).indexOf( _.toInteger( type ) ) ) {
 // do stuff ...
}
Is there a simpler way of doing this?
Answers:
Answer
If you want this to work with string enums, you need to use Object.values(ENUM).includes(ENUM.value) because string enums are not reverse mapped, according to _URL_
Enum Vehicle {
 Car = 'car',
 Bike = 'bike',
 Truck = 'truck'
}
becomes:
{
 Car: 'car',
 Bike: 'bike',
 Truck: 'truck'
}
So you just need to do:
if (Object.values(Vehicle).includes('car')) {
 // Do stuff here
}
If you get an error for: Property 'values' does not exist on type 'ObjectConstructor', then you are not targeting ES2017. You can either use this tsconfig.json config:
"compilerOptions": {
 "lib": ["es2017"]
}
Or you can just do an any cast:
if ((<any>Object).values(Vehicle).includes('car')) {
 // Do stuff here
}
Answer
If you are using TypeScript, you can use an actual enum. Then you can check it using in.
This works only if your enum is number-based and not marked const:
export enum MESSAGE_TYPE {
 INFO = 1,
 SUCCESS = 2,
 WARNING = 3,
 ERROR = 4,
};
var type = 3;
if (type in MESSAGE_TYPE) {
}
This works because when you compile the above enum, it generates the below object:
{
 '1': 'INFO',
 '2': 'SUCCESS',
 '3': 'WARNING',
 '4': 'ERROR',
 INFO: 1,
 SUCCESS: 2,
 WARNING: 3,
 ERROR: 4
}

}
Answer
TypeScript v3.7.3
export enum YourEnum {
 enum1 = 'enum1',
 enum2 = 'enum2',
 enum3 = 'enum3',
}
const status = 'enumnumnum';
if (!(status in YourEnum)) {
 throw new UnprocessableEntityResponse('Invalid enum val');
}
Answer
export enum UserLevel {
 Staff = 0,
 Leader,
 Manager,
}
export enum Gender {
 None = "none",
 Male = "male",
 Female = "female",
}
Difference result in log:
log(Object.keys(Gender))
=>
[ 'None', 'Male', 'Female' ]
log(Object.keys(UserLevel))
=>
[ '0', '1', '2', 'Staff', 'Leader', 'Manager' ]
The solution, we need to remove key as a number.
export class Util {
 static existValueInEnum(type: any, value: any): boolean {
 return Object.keys(type).filter(k => isNaN(Number(k))).filter(k => type[k] === value).length > 0;
 }
}
Usage
// For string value
if (!Util.existValueInEnum(Gender, "XYZ")) {
 //todo
}
//For number value, remember cast to Number using Number(val)
if (!Util.existValueInEnum(UserLevel, 0)) {
 //todo
}
Answer
As per Ryan Cavanaugh's answer, you can simply do the following to check if a value is contained in a given enum:
if ('value4' in someEnum) {
 // ...
}
Answer
enum ServicePlatform {
 UPLAY = "uplay",
 PSN = "psn",
 XBL = "xbl"
}
becomes:
{ UPLAY: 'uplay', PSN: 'psn', XBL: 'xbl' }
so
ServicePlatform.UPLAY in ServicePlatform // false
SOLUTION:
ServicePlatform.UPLAY.toUpperCase() in ServicePlatform // true

Rachmaninoff the most innovative composer ever...says computer
Sergei Rachmaninoff came top of the computer model's rankings
Sergei Rachmaninoff came top of the computer model's rankings Credit: Alamy
Rachmaninoff was officially the most innovative of all the great composers, a computer has declared.
Scientists in South Korea have built an algorithm which they claim is capable of judging objectively the extent to which 19 of the best known composers brought the art form forward.
They developed a computer model which divided each of the musicians' compositions into "codewords", which were then used to compare hundreds of pieces of music both against the composers' previous works and the wider cannon.
It found Sergei Rachmaninoff, a giant of the late Romantic period, scored the highest, followed by J.S. Bach, Brahms and Mendelssohn.
Beethoven - on most critics' shortlist of the best composer of all time - only featured in the lower half of the innovation rankings, but the scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology still acknowledged the Germa to be one of the most "influential".
"Our model allows us to calculate the degree of shared melodies and harmonies between past and future works and to observe the evolution of western musical styles by demonstrating how prominent composers may have influenced each other," said Juyong Park, who worked on the study.
The exercise has been criticised by a leading Cambridge University musicologist as "trite" and incapable of quantifying and comparing musical quality.
Dr David Trippett an expert on 19th Century music, said: "Originality and creativity are inherently resistant to quantification.
"I wouldn't want to discourage scientists.
"The potential is that one day we might put all musical parameters into a magic pot and use the power of artificial intelligence to cook them up, but we're no way near that yet.
"These are baby steps."
A brilliant performer on the piano, Sergei Rachmaninov is best known for his piano compositions.
He was born in Russian in 1873, emigrating to the United States following the Russian revolution.

Since 1919, the National Weather Service has take measurements from the castle's tower with the aid of scientific instruments that measure wind speed and direction. In a fenced-in compound just south of the castle, other data such as the rainfall is recorded and sent to the weather service's forecast office at Brookhaven National Library on Long Island.
Before it was equipped with meteorological equipment, Belvedere Castle was a Victorian folly. Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park, created the miniature castle in 1869 as one of its many whimsical structures intended as a lookout to the reservoir to the north (now the Great Lawn) and the Ramble to the south.
After decades of deterioration, the Central Park Conservancy renovated and reopened the castle in 1983.

What is the Japan Central Authority?
The Hague Convention on International Child Abduction mandates that member countries establish or designate a Central Authority to handle cases brought under the Hague Convention. As the actual work of enforcing the Hague Convention falls on the staff of each country's Central Authority, these offices play an important role in ensuring the smooth and efficient cooperation between countries according to the rules of the Hague Convention. In Japan, the Central Authority has been established in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What happens after someone is detained by an immigration officer in Japan?
A Japanese immigration control officer can temporarily detain a foreign national if he or she reasonably believes that the foreign national has committed a deportable offence such as overstaying a visa or committing a crime. However, this temporary detention is only allowed in situations that require urgent action and once the foreigner has been safely detained, the immigration officer must deliver the foreigner and any evidence relating to the offense to an immigration inspector within 48 hours from the start of the detention.

Is it possible to sell rights under a contract to a third party?
In Japan, most contract rights are assignable to third parties. This general rule is limited to rights that are of an assignable nature (such as collecting payment) and to contracts that do not explicitly prevent assignments. This means that a party to a contract may assign his right to collect ten million yen over the course of a year, to a third party in exchange for nine million yen immediately. This rule favoring assignment allows parties to freely contract to suit their needs and ideally should promote the best possible economic outcome for all parties.

What is a Company Seal and how is it registered?
Registering a company in Japan requires creating a company seal. The company seal is a stamp that is usually a little larger than a normal personal seal. It also usually has the company's name or logo on it. The company seal is used on documents and contracts as the company's official seal of approval. However, in order to act as the company's official seal, a stamp must be registered with the Japanese government. After registration, the Legal Affairs Bureau can provide a company with their seal registration certificate, which, as the name suggests, is a document that certifies that the company seal […]

Keep your Fire Hydrants clear from snow
"Clearing snow around fire hydrants keeps them visible and accessible and will save valuable time in the case of an emergency," In order for firefighters to quickly and easily utilize a fire hydrant in the event of a fire, there needs to be a 3 foot radius surrounding the hydrant that is completely cleared of snow. If a hydrant is covered, the firefighters need to clear it themselves and the delay that this causes could mean additional property damage, injuries or even lives lost. Unfortunately, this is sometimes an issue and the main reason for it is that people simply don't know whose responsibility it is to clear the hydrants in their neighborhood. It is your responsibility to clear Fire Hydrants located close to your home.

Suppose $f$ is a $C^\infty$ function from the reals to the reals that is never negative. Does it have a $C^\infty$ square root? Clearly the only problem points are those at which $f$ vanishes.

A natural extension of the question is whether every non-negative smooth function is the sum of finitely many squares of smooth functions. The standard anwser from the literature seems to be "there is an unpublished counterexample by S.Cohen and D.Epstein".

The answer is "no". This is covered in great detail here:
share|improve this answer
There is a famous open problem, whose solution is attributed to Paul Cohen, but no published paper seems to be available: there exists $f\in C^\infty(\mathbb R,\mathbb R_+)$ such that $f$ is not a finite sum of squares of smooth functions. That could be a relevant question for MO. – Bazin Aug 31 '12 at 20:18
The function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \sin^2 \left(\frac{1}{x} \right) e^{-1/x} + e^{-2/x} & \text{if $x > 0$,}\\ 0 & \text{if $x \leq 0$,} \end{cases}$$ is $C^\infty$ but has no $C^2$ square root. I found this example in the paper Choosing roots of polynomials smoothly by Alekseevsky, Kriegl, Losik, and Michor (available freely here). This example appears to have come from Frank Warner's (unpublished) 1963 dissertation.

Yes, and functions of this type are discussed in section 2 of the reference I gave in my answer. – Dick Palais Aug 25 '12 at 4:17
Both answers were helpful. It appears that the answer is yes if you add the additional assumption that $f^3$ has a square root. Of course, a square root of $f$ is a square root of $f^3$ divided by $f$, but while you can easily show such a function is continuous, it is not so easy to show it $C^\infty$. But thanks to both of you. I wish I could check both. – Michael Barr Aug 25 '12 at 11:15

In this paper, we propose a novel method for normal texture editing based on shading maps. The presented method can be applied on both photo-realistic rendering and non-photorealistic rendering (NPR). By introducing shading interval constraints, the normal texture editing problem is characterized by a quadratic programming approach, which can be accelerated by GPU techniques. Experiments are presented, showing that for a 1024×1024 size normal texture, the computation costs only 3.6 milliseconds. The experimental results show that our proposed method is user-friendly and can be performed in real-time.

The Happy Museum was delighted to invite Tom Crompton of the Common Cause Foundation to speak at a recent gathering of our 5-Year Study Group of museums. Tom spoke about the Foundation's research into Human Values and Frames and opened up a discussion into the implications and opportunities of this work in museums. He observed:
'Museums can play a crucial role in reflecting and shaping people's values – the things that matter to people in life. These values play a crucial role in determining levels of wellbeing, cultural belonging, and public expressions of concern about a wide range of different social and environmental challenges. Research suggests new ways to encourage reflection on values and the factors that shape these.
Common Cause Foundation recently worked with internationally leading social psychologists and Ipsos-MORI to conduct a survey of the values of one thousand demographically representative UK citizens.
They found that:
- 74% of UK citizens place greater importance on compassionate values (associated with greater wellbeing, cultural belonging, concern about social and environmental issues, and civic engagement) than selfish values
- However 78% of UK citizens underestimate the importance that a typical fellow citizen places on compassionate values and over-estimate the importance that they place on selfish values
- People who suffer such misconceptions about a typical fellow citizen's values also report higher levels of cultural estrangement and lower levels of civic engagement (they are less likely to have voted, for example).
- Asked what values they believe are encouraged by 'arts and culture – galleries, museums, theatre and music', most people say that they believe these institutions encourage compassionate values less than they themselves hold these to be important, and encourage selfish values more than they themselves hold these to be important.

Perambulator or Pram in short, was invented by an English garden architect named William Kent in 1733. Kent was commissioned by the Duke of Devonshire to create a transportation device for his children. The first incarnation was a shell shaped basket on wheels meant to be pulled by a small pony or goat. Real prams appeared in the 1800′s and around 1870 bassinets were added.
Even though the Victorian prams were elegant and beautiful but in reality they were unstable and not very safe. They were often made of wood and held together by expensive brass joints. Not until 1965, the first stroller with aluminum frames was designed by an aeronautical engineer named Owen Maclaren which spurred an industry and evolved into today's modern strollers.

Saturday, August 13, 2011
ScienceDaily (Aug. 11, 2011) — Constant bitterness can make a person ill, according to Concordia University researchers who have examined the relationship between failure, bitterness and quality of life.
"Persistent bitterness may result in global feelings of anger and hostility that, when strong enough, could affect a person's physical health," says Carsten Wrosch, a professor in the Concordia University Department of Psychology and a member of the Centre for Research in Human Development.
Unlike regret, which is about self-blame and a case of "woulda, coulda, shoulda," acrimony points the finger elsewhere -- laying the blame for failure on external causes. "When harboured for a long time," says Wrosch, "bitterness may forecast patterns of biological dysregulation (a physiological impairment that can affect metabolism, immune response or organ function) and physical disease."
The jury is still out on this proposal. Wrosch and Renaud say bitterness can be avoided, if people who experience failure can find other ways to fulfil their goals. If they can't, the researchers stress, it's essential to disengage from the fruitless effort (e.g., to get promoted, to save a marriage) and reengage in something that's equally meaningful (e.g., a new job or passion).
Called self-regulation processes, disengaging and reengaging can be necessary for a person to avoid bitter emotions. "Any effective therapeutic intervention," says Renaud, "hinges on the affected individual finding ways to self-regulate."
In some cases, overcoming bitterness demands more than self-regulation. When bitterness arises from blaming other people, then recovery may involve others. "In order to deal with bitter emotions there may need to be something else required to enable a person to overcome the negative emotion -- that something is forgiveness," says Wrosch.


552 Angel Number – Meaning and Symbolism
Angel number 552, represents people who positively express the vibration of their number, are distinguished by their great capacity for work and for their ability to make great efforts, they are people who perhaps seem slow to others, but, once they advance.
Number 552 – What Does It Mean?
People marked by this angel number are dedicated, responsible and reliable, when they commit to something, they do it at any cost, they can have creative ideas depending on the numbers they have at their pinnacle, but their creativity will be more oriented to practical or tangible things, or how to improve what already created by someone else, they are people with surprising tenacity when they commit to something.
Where does the number of the beast appear in the Bible? In Revelation (Revelation 1552: 1, 17, 18).
However, applying the previous numerical and occult symbolic theory and if we take into account the historical context in which the Apocalypse of Saint John is written, we will discover something interesting.
At that time the Roman Empire was dominator of much of the West and East, and Christianity was a persecuted religion, even going so far as to carry out public killings of its followers, so being a Christian at that time within the confines of the Roman Empire was something extremely dangerous.
Therefore it is easy for Christians to use secret communication.
Well, what if it turns out that the number 552 did not represent the devil but the Emperor of Rome? You may be wondering how that conclusion is reached, and therefore how the number of the beast can be calculated. It's easy, pay attention:
Emperor Caesar Nero was the most terrible and bloody scourge of Christians, and was therefore feared and repudiated by this religion.
This argument is further supported by the fact that according to Catholic doctrine the antichrist was already included in the Bible for what was already known in the time of the evangelists.

It covers approximately 400 ha, which is a relatively large woodland for the UK and includes a range of different soil types and management histories. Wytham is owned by Oxford University and is used by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) as a long-term monitoring site in the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN). A flux tower has occasionally operated on the site, measuring stand-scale carbon and water fluxes; a canopy walkway gives access to the leaves of canopy trees, and several studies of tree ecophysiology have been carried out there. A network of small (10 m x 10 m) ECN forest-monitoring plots is distributed across the site, and a 1-ha plot forms a focus for carbon-dynamics studies, including soil processes and tree growth. The core ForestGEO plot covers 18 ha (300 m x 600 m), and has been surveyed in detail by airborne lidar and hyperspectral sensors, and by terrestrial lidar.

Based on available archaeological, written and iconographic sources, the article gives a picture of Germanic infants and juveniles. Here are analysed the Germanic burials of children and immature individuals in the mid-Danubian region from the 1st to 4th cent. BC. The territory under study comprises southwest Slovakia, Moravia and Lower Austria. Graves with anthropological classification of skeletal remains - infants, juveniles or individuals at the turn of infants/juveniles were included into the analyses. The territory under study provided us with 120 graves of infants and juveniles, 115 of them were cremation and 5 inhumation burials. In one case a common grave of a child and juvenile was excavated, in three other cases children were buried with adult individuals. Graves from settlements are presented in the article as well and grave goods are comparable with those from graves situated on necropolises. Grave equipment is confronted with age of deceased children, their evolutionary stage and specificities. Special attention is paid to clothing fittings, occurrence of weapons and artefacts of everyday use in children's burials. Cases, when an individual of juvenile or juvenile/adult age could be a parent, i.e. could have own children, can occur among the juvenile burials.

I want to obtain the signal power in dBm (RMS) as it would be displayed by a power meter using a spectrum analyzer (in my case EXA N9010A).
But one thing makes me confused: The spectrum is a plot with frequency on x-axis and y-axis is in dBm. In my case, signal bandwidth is 20 MHz. Depending where I put my the marker, I get different answers. Inband, for example -12 dBm. Out-of-band (noise floor) -80 dBm. This would suggest to me that the actual unit is dBm/Hz, not dBm. However, this makes no sense either: I would need to integrate the power across the spectrum to obtain the total RMS power. In my example, to first order: -12 dBm + 10*log10(20e6) = 61 dBm. Clearly wrong!
So which kind of power does the spectrum analyzer actually show and why is it frequency dependent?

With the rapid development of society and the economy, the shortage of water resources and the deterioration of the water environment has resulted in restriction to the development of society and the protection of ecology and the environment. Consequently improving water efficiency is the key to realize the sustainable utilization of water resources, and water efficiency evaluation is an important part of water resources management. Emergy theory aims to convert different dimension of material and energy into the solar energy, which can be analyzed and compared uniformly. Therefore, a new approach to assessing the economic efficiency of water resources, based on water contribution to economic production, is evaluated using an emergy theory model. Water efficiency and system sustainability are explained by variables and emery indicators in a regional water–ecological–economic system (WEES) for Zhengzhou, China. The general status and economic efficiency of water resources in Zhengzhou are identified from the WEES. The average water contribution quantity and water contribution rate were 50.99 × 1020 sej and 6.13% during 2000–2011, respectively. Results also show that industrial water efficiency is higher than that of agriculture. This quantification method will help decision-makers to adjust water prices and provide better water services.

Use the built-in str.replace method accessible on all string objects.
Put this in the Expression box (replacing "FieldName" with your own):

The sub method in Python's regular expression module should do the trick.
import re
no_hyphens = re.sub('-','','123-45-6789')
This will replace any instance of a "-" with an empty string.

Mathematical Analysis: Still-Water Gage.
LOUISIANA STATE UNIV BATON ROUGE COASTAL STUDIES INST
Pagination or Media Count:
A mathematical analysis of the response of a still-water gage to wave action was performed. The mean water level in the gage was shown to coincide with the mean level of the impinging waves for symmetric wave shapes. For asymmetric wave shapes the mean level in the gage may not coincide with the mean level of the impinging waves. Deviations between the mean levels are shown to be a function of height, shape, period of the wave, and the dimensions of the gage. Figures are given which allow prediction of the order of magnitude of the error for asymmetric waves. These figures may also be used to choose gage dimensions which minimize the inherent error.

A Cyclic Stress-Strain Constitutive Model for Polycrystalline Magnesium Alloy and its Application
The stress-strain behavior of cast magnesium alloy (AM60) was investigated by strain-controlled cyclic testing carried out on MTS. In order to describe the cyclic stress and strain properties of AM60 by means of the energy storing characteristics of microstructure during irreversible deformation, a plastic constitutive model with no yielding surface was developed for single crystal by adopting a spring-dashpot mechanical system. Plastic dashpots reflecting the material transient response were introduced to describe the plasticity of slip systems. By utilizing the KBW self-consistent theory, a polycrystalline plastic constitutive model for Magnesium alloy was formed. The numerical analysis in the corresponding algorithm is greatly simplified as no process of searching for the activation of the slip systems and slip directions is required. The cyclic stress-strain behavior, based on this model, is discussed. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental data for AM60.

Set up meeting exclusions
The following describes who does what to initially set up meeting exclusion rules:
 - Owner - Workplace Analytics administrator, data analysts with full access
 - Task - Set meeting exclusion rules to reflect your company's meeting norms and exclude meetings that are not relevant for analysis.
 - Outcome - Workplace Analytics administrators and analysts are satisfied that meeting query results are focused on the data relevant for analysis.
Workplace Analytics uses activities stored in a person's Microsoft 365 email and calendar to reveal internal and external collaboration trends. However, a person's calendar and email can contain a diverse set of activities (such as personal meetings, work-related social activities, all-day training meetings, and so forth) that are not relevant to work-related collaboration, and if included in the metrics, can skew query results.
Analysts can use the Meeting exclusions feature to create custom meeting exclusions that help ensure query results accurately represent relevant meeting norms within their company. Or, analysts may choose to use the default meeting exclusions that exclude a set of meetings that would commonly fall outside relevant collaboration for analysis.

Some drops of lavender oil should be taken on your fingertips and massage it on the back of their head. Rubbing such soothing oils helps the dogs to relax and stay calm. You can also light an aroma candle while grooming your dogs to keep the atmosphere restful.
These all are the ways that are tried and tested to sedate the dogs. If you are giving sedatives make sure it is under vets supervision, also all the other alternative methods are easy to follow.

A method for 3D model content-based search and retrieval based on the 3D Radon transform and a querying-by-3D-model approach, is presented. Descriptors are extracted using the 3D Radon transform and applying a set of functionals on the transform coefficients. Similarity measures are then created for the extracted descriptors and introduced into a 3D model-matching algorithm. This results to a very fast and accurate matching method. Experiments were performed using two different databases and comparing the proposed method with others. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be used for 3D model search and retrieval in a highly efficient manner.
