What should you do if you've been given the task to be in charge of divvying up a parent's estate that includes assorted tangible items?
Minneapolis Tribune's article entitled "A clever way to divvy up items after a parent's death" says that some families do it, by taking turns selecting which items each will keep.
The article discusses how a family decided to divide things up their mom's grand estate and how the method the family used to divvy up the tangible items could be one that other families with much smaller estates could use.
After their mom's death at 93, the brother and sister co-executors created an inventory of 724 items in her estate that had monetary or sentimental value. These included things like furniture, artwork, oriental rugs, cutlery, china, a piano and a car. They didn't include their mom's jewelry, books or linens, or her silver, gold and collectible coins. The four siblings all agreed to sell the coins and to deal with the many books, linens, and jewelry more informally, after the more significant items had been distributed.
The family didn't use the common way of disbursing tangible items of an estate, in which family members take turns choosing items. With over 700 items, that could take a while. They felt that system wouldn't maximize the value received by the four children and seven grandchildren. Instead, their process for dividing the intangible items used the following steps:
 1. The inventory was given to all four siblings and asked each one to state the items that they were interested in. This divided the 724 items into three groups: (a) stuff in which no one had an interest; (b) stuff in which only one person had an interest; and (c) those in which two or more were interested. Things in which no one had an interest, were set aside to be sold or given away, and those who were the only siblings to want certain items got them.
 2. They then made lists of items in which more than one sibling expressed an interest. Each received a list of those items. They were not given information on ones in which they weren't interested—one of two ways the system wasn't transparent.
 3. Each person was then "given" 500 virtual poker chips that he or she could use to bid for contested items. However, prior to the bidding deadline, they could talk with one another about their intentions. The result was that many had bid for several similar items, like family pictures, bookcases and oriental rugs — when they really only wanted one from each category. Thus, they agreed among themselves who would receive each one, without wasting too many chips. This also avoided two siblings using a lot of tokens to bid for a particular item, and no one bidding on another similar one.
 4. After the bids were in, the co-executors announced the results, without revealing the bids, to avoid a silent auction where bidders can see what others are bidding and readjust their bids up to the deadline. This was the second part of the system that wasn't transparent.
 5. Finally, when all the allocations were determined, the co-executors tabulated the monetary value of all the items and readjusted the estate monetary distributions to ensure that everyone came out at the same place financially. The most valuable items were a 1919 Steinway drawing room grand piano valued at $25,000; a 2005 Toyota Camry valued at $4,500; and some oriental rugs with a total value of $13,975. Those who got the big-ticket items had to pay their siblings something for them, with a total of $17,500 trading hands.
It was time-consuming and took several months, but the siblings thought that their system was very fair and the process, unlike what is done in some other family estates, relieved tensions and brought the siblings closer together.

Connecting with Canadians
Teaching Aids for Civics Education in Canadian Schools
Who better to tell us how to engage our younger generation in democratic institutions than young people themselves? In workshops and dialogues, young participants have told CPRN that one of the best ways of hooking them into the democratic process is to provide a comprehensive civics education starting in the early grades. These young people also told us they want school to be a safe place to openly discuss challenging issues, learn about different points of view and develop skills for critical analysis and problem solving.
CPRN's landmark National Youth Dialogue and Summit brought together 144 young Canadians to talk about participation and citizenship. Two workbooks were prepared for the event to support discussion and to guide the dialogue. They are written in a style that is appealing to young people, and teachers appreciate them as a useful tool for their civics classes.

Three WKU Profs Honored for Nature Work
The state Nature Preserves Commission has given three WKU professors its annual award for work that protects biological diversity.
Alfred Meier, Ouida Meier and Scott Grubbs were given this year's Biological Diversity Protection Award for their work creating the Upper Green River Biological Preserve. The preserve is on the banks of the Green River in Hart County.
The Green River is the most important river in Kentucky for the conservation of rare native mussels and fish. It hosts 109 fish species and nearly 60 mussel species. The area is also important for an endangered bat species found on the preserve and as a breeding and migratory habitat for songbirds.
The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission was created in 1976 to protect the best remaining natural areas of Kentucky.

The Assut de l'Or Bridge (Valencian: Pont de l'Assut de l'Or, Spanish: Puente de la Presa del Oro) is a white single-pylon cable-stayed bridge in the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, designed by Valencian architect and civil engineer Santiago Calatrava and completed in December 2008. The name l'Assut de l'Or is Valencian for the Dam of the Gold and refers to a dam that was located nearby, although locally it is referred to as El Jamonero (The Ham Holder) or Pont de l'Arpa, Spanish: Puente del Arpa (The Harp Bridge). Calatrava called it the Serreria Bridge.
The bridge crosses the Túria Gardens in southeast Valencia, Spain near the east end of the City of Arts and Sciences complex. Its design is a variant of Santiago Calatrava's 1992 design of a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge in Seville, Spain. In the Serreria bridge, the pylon is curved backward and back-stayed to concrete counterweights in the roadway. The aesthetic effect of the Serreria bridge arises in part from the curved pylon and the 29 parallel cables supporting the bridge deck, accented at night by spot lighting of the cables and the pylon. The bridge deck has two carriageways, three lanes each for cars and one additional lane for a tramway, and a carriageway for only pedestrian and cycle traffic along the middle spine of the deck by the cable stays.

1. Authorities have differed regarding the optimum degree of moisture associated with the presence of Collembola. Experiments have, therefore, been carried out to ascertain the influence of variation in relative humidity on the death-rate of certain species of these insects.
2. At a uniform temperature of 25° C. it was found that saturated conditions of the environment are necessary for the survival of all species of Collembola used in the experiments.
3. It has been found that, with the exception of the genus Entomobrya, Collembola devoid of a tracheal system are very susceptible to dry conditions. Sminthurus viridis, which possesses a tracheal system and well-developed ventral tube, is much less susceptible to atmospheric dryness.
4. An experiment carried out with Sminthurus mridis suggests that the ventral tube is used for conveying droplets of water from the hairs of the body to the mouth. It also serves as a "cleaning" organ.
5. The results of the above experiments have had direct practical application in methods of control of Collembola.

Formulasi Surfaktan Metil Ester Sulfonat sebagai Oil Well Cleaning
Mulideas, Vini Virdiana
MetadataShow full item record
Oil productivity reduction may be due to plugging in the oil rock formations. The plugging may be caused by the deposition of paraffin, asphaltene, and scale. Problem caused by the presence of the precipitate is the rock formation can be oil wet so that oil permeability decreases. The problem can be solved by well cleaning technique with surfactant formula. Surfactant MES is a type of anionic surfactant which has ability to lower the interfcial tension, surface tension, and able to change the properties of rock from oil wet to become water wet. Surfactant MES formula for well cleaning requires carrier agent. In this study, diesel oil and metil ester were used as carrying agent. Aromatic solvents were also needed. Xylene and toluene has ability to dissolve asphaltene that deposites in formation. Surfaktan formulation for well cleaning was done with several stages, those are determine the SMES concentration and aromatic solvents concentration. Surfactant performance tests for oil well cleaning were thermal stability, phase behavior, and wettability. The surfactant formula which gave the best performance was SMES 3% in metil ester carrying agent with xylene 15% as additive.

This paper utilises computerised textual analysis to explore the extent to which both firm and country characteristics influence mandatory and voluntary risk reporting (MRR and VRR) variations both within and between non-financial firms across Germany, the UK and the US, over the period from 2005 to 2010. We find significant variations in MRR and VRR between firms across the three countries. Further, we find, on average, that German firms tend to disclose significantly higher (lower) levels of risk information mandatorily than UK (US) firms. German firms, on average, tend to reveal considerably higher (lower) levels of VRR than US (UK) firms. Our results document that MRR and VRR variations are significantly influenced by systematic risk, the legal system and cultural values.We also find that country and firm characteristics have higher explanatory power over the observed variations in MRR than over those in VRR.

EECA has commissioned Standards New Zealand to produce a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for Smart Homes, to help New Zealanders understand how they can make their existing home 'smart' and begin the transition to this new technology.
A smart home isn't the building itself but a clever system that links residential appliances together into a network. The network ensures the appliances in the home are operating as efficiently as possible (without changing how you use them).
The Smart Home Guidelines PAS has been developed in response to a growing need for New Zealanders to change the way we are consuming energy. Smart home networks preferentially shift household energy demand to periods of least-cost electricity. With this new approach to home electricity use, New Zealanders will be able to reduce their energy costs, take pressure off our national electricity grid, and help lower New Zealand's carbon footprint by maximising renewable energy use.
The guidance aims to help electricity consumers, appliance retailers, and suppliers of smart home equipment and services to align to best practice. It is designed to contain key smart home advice and point readers to more detailed information.
This PAS will not impose any requirements on sellers, importers, or manufacturers. However, it will introduce smart home technology to New Zealand consumers and help them to take steps towards making their home energy use smarter.


How to Hang a Dartboard in a Cabinet
A dartboard mounted on a bare wall can lead to pretty several holes inside the wall from darts that miss the target. 1 method to resolve this challenge is always to hang the dartboard within a cabinet that could support defend the wall from errant shots. Most cabinets are constructed from wood and have doors that will conceal the board when it really is not in use. You could hang a dartboard inside a wall cabinet within a handful of minutes with some simple hand tools.
 1. Measure the height with the dartboard cabinet and divide the measurement in half. Subtract that measurement from five feet eight inches, measure up in the floor to this height and spot a horizontal pencil mark around the wall.
 2. Find the wall studs just above the mark and note the centers on the studs around the wall using a pencil.
 3. Position the dartboard cabinet to ensure that its bottom edge is aligned with all the horizontal pencil mark. Adjust the board in order that the 4 mounting holes are aligned with all the centers on the two wall studs, then adjust the angle in the cabinet using a level. Drive a two 1/2-inch wood screw by way of every single of your pre-drilled holes within the back in the cabinet in to the studs making use of a energy drill having a lengthy screw bit.
 4. Attach the mounting bracket for the dartboard towards the two hole places within the center on the cabinet having a screwdriver.
 5. Insert the mounting screw in to the center of your back from the dartboard. Drive the screw till it can be flush, then back it out a single complete turn.
 6. Attach the 3 rubber bumpers in the dartboard kit evenly spaced about the perimeter in the dartboard having a screwdriver. Then position the dartboard in to the cabinet and slip the head on the center screw in to the mounting bracket. In the event the board is also loose, get rid of it and tighten the screw slightly, then remount the dartboard. Rotate the dart board till the 20 position is pointing straight up.

Hello, good afternoon. Im using @elapsed to mesure time function and got some flutuation in sequence data. Is this peaks in plot gargabe collection noise?
Good evening! It might be gc as you say. Consider using BenchmarkTools.jl for accurate benchmarking. E.g., using
Im testing here but it is taking a lot of time. Seems @belapsed cant run with more than 1000 iterations.
The functions with constant time was done, but seems more strange than using @elapsed
You can control the number of evaluations BenchmarkTools.jl is using. The timing that is less than one nanosecond means that the compiler outsmarted the benchmark and performed the entire calculation at compile time. This is indicated on the first page of the docs Home · BenchmarkTools.jl
As a rule of thumb, if a benchmark reports that it took less than a nanosecond to perform, this hoisting probably occured. You can avoid this by referencing and dereferencing the interpolated variables
@btime already run your code more than once to collect statistics from various runs. There's no need to invoke them in a loop.
But how to plot a performance curve with only one value collected?
Have you checked out the documentation of BenchmarkTools.jl? You can use
@benchmark to get an object containing the collected statistics.

Christmas is a time of happiness and joy. However, some people may find it difficult to celebrate the holiday if their Christmas lights are going to keep flickering because of water damage. There are a few simple ways to keep your Christmas lights dry and avoid any potential damage. First, always make sure your Christmas lights are properly plugged into an outlet. Second, do not leave your Christmas lights up all night. Third, be careful when cleaning around your Christmas lights.
Benefits Of Keeping Christmas Light Plugs Dry
Keeping your Christmas light plugs dry can save you money in the long run. Not only will you avoid costly damage to your home, but you'll also be reducing the amount of energy that your lights are using. Here are some of the benefits of keeping your Christmas lights plugged into a dryer:
-You'll save money on repairs: If your Christmas lights are damaged by water, it's likely that you'll have to replace them. By keeping them plugged into a dryer, however, you can avoid this expense.
-Your holiday decor will last longer: Wet bulbs and cords can cause damage to CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATION, and they're not as festive as they could be.
Arrange Your Plugs So They Are In A Straight Line
Keeping your Christmas light plugs dry is important to prevent fires. Make sure the plug ends of your cords are in a straight line and not tangled. If you have multiple cords, try to group them together so they're not touching each other or the wall. When plugging in your lights, be sure to hold the cord close to the receptacle so water doesn't get inside and cause a fire.
Put Cardboard Or Paper Between The Two Prongs Of The Socket.
Dry Christmas light plugs can save you a lot of hassle this holiday season. By placing a piece of cardboard or paper between the plug and the light fixture, you can prevent water from getting into the electrical wiring and causing damage. If your Christmas lights start flickering or going out, using a dry plug may be all you need to solve the problem.
Keep Your Christmas Lights Away From Moisture
Keeping your Christmas lights away from moisture is important to keep them working properly. Moisture can cause electrical problems with your lights, and it can also cause them to break. If you live in a humid area, it's especially important to keep your lights dry. When storing your lights, make sure they're kept in a cool, dry place.
Place Water That Is Above Your Cord Level In A Container Or Bucket.
Keeping your Christmas lights plugged in during the dry winter months is important to avoid potential damage to your cords and light fixtures. Make sure to place any water that is above your cord level in a container or bucket, so it doesn't accumulate on the cord. If possible, try to keep the area around your cords clean and free of debris, so they'll stay healthy and not fray.
Use A Holiday-Themed Plug Cover To Keep Things Tidy
One of the best ways to keep Christmas lights plugged in and tidy is to use a holiday-themed plug cover. This way, all of the different light plugs will be easily identifiable, and no accidental disconnections will occur. When it comes to keeping Christmas lights plugged in, using a plug cover is one step that can make a big difference!
Tree Debris Away From The Christmas Light Plugs
Christmas is a season of joy and happiness. Spending time with family and loved ones is the best part of the holiday season. However, one thing that can ruin the fun is if your Christmas light cords get wet. The cords can become frayed, which can then lead to electrical shorts and even fire. To keep your Christmas light cords safe and dry, make sure to keep debris away from them. This means keeping tree branches and leaves away from the plugs, as well as any other objects that could fall on or near them.
Label Each Cord With A Piece Of Tape Or An Adhesive Label
Christmas is a time for family, friends, and celebration. Keeping the Christmas lights plugged in and dry is important to ensuring a festive mood. However, if left unplugged, even small pieces of dust can accumulate on the cords over time. This can create a fire hazard if the cord is pulled out while the light is still plugged in. To avoid this potential disaster, label each cord with an adhesive or tape label. This will keep the cords tidy and safe during the holiday season.
Don't Over-Dress Your Cords
Keeping Christmas light plugs dry can help prevent a power outage. Over-dressing cords can cause them to fray and break, weakening the electrical connection between the plug and the outlet. Instead of wearing bulky clothes that hide your cords, try using cord wrap or a holiday-themed cord holder.
Don't Overload Extension Cords
Whenever possible, try to avoid using extension cords. This is especially important during the holiday season when Wetlands and other water bodies are at their highest levels. extension cords can easily overload and cause a fire. Additionally, if plugs are left plugged in for long periods of time, they can overheat and start a fire.
Check Your Light Strings Every Few Days
Christmas is a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate. One way to make sure your Christmas light display looks its best is to check your strings every few days. If water or snow gets on the plug, it can cause the light to go out. By checking your strings regularly, you can avoid any issues and keep your display looking bright and beautiful!
It is important to keep Christmas light plugs dry to avoid potential electrical fires. This is especially important if your home has a lot of lights plugged in. Never use wet hands to plug in lights or extension cords, and be sure to have an emergency plan in place for any power outages. Finally, always wear safety gloves when working with electricity.

[ MFC ] - Changing progressbar colour of CProgressCtrl
1. Introduction
A "Progress Bar Control" can be used to show the progress of a long running operation. In MFC, "CProgressCtrl" class is associated the progress bar control. In this article, we will see how to set the progress bar background as well as the progress colour. The background colour can be set using the class member function directly. But, for setting the bar colour we need to send the message to progress bar from the containing parent.
This article is applicable to Visual Studio 2005 or earlier. If you use, 2005 later versions, you can set the bar colour using "SetBarColor" member function of the CProgressCtrl.
2. About the Example
Have a look at the below screenshot:
MFC Progress Bar Colour
Fig 1. MFC Progress Control with Different bar colour
The Start Progress button will start progress in default Gray background and blue bar colour (Depends on your windows Theme). The bar animation is simulated with an introduction of small delay while progressing. The Reset Progress button will reset the progress to the start of the progress. The Set Red button of the sample changes the background colour to white and foreground colour to Red.
3. Create the Application
Create a dialog-based application and name it as PrgrsClr. After the project is created, drag and drop a "Progress Control" from the toolbox to the dialog. In our example, the progress control ID is set to IDC_PROG_BAR. Similarly, add the other buttons as shown in the previous section. Handle the "BN_CLICKED" event for the buttons Start Progress, Reset Progress, Set Red. The below screen shot shows handling the BN_CLICKED for the Start Progress button.
Button Click Handler
Fig 2. Button Click Handler
Add a control variable for the Progress bar as shown in the below screenshot:
Adding CProgressCtrl control variable
Fig 3. Adding CProgressCtrl Control variable
1) Invoke Add Variable dialog from the Context menu by right clicking the class name from the class view tab (Marked as 1)
2) In the Add Member variable dialog, select the progress bar control id (Marked as 2)
3) Make sure the Category is set to Control (Marked as 3)
4) Provide the control variable name as m_ctrl_progress (Marked as 4) and click the finish button (Marked as 5)
4. Initialize Progress Bar
1) First, declare a function the header file, which we can use for initializing the progress bar. The code is below:
//Sample 01: Initialize Progress Bar
void InitProgress();
2) In the CPP file, the function InitProgress is implemented. The "CProgressCtrl::SetRange" function sets the progress bar range from number x -> y. In our case, we set the range for out progress control from 0 to 100. That means, when the progress control value is at 5, the bar appears at the initial stage and when the value is at 90 the bar approaches towards the end. In our case, each progress unit represents 1%. Next, the position is set at 0 using "CProgressCtrl::SetPos". The progress control's current position at zero indicates that the progress is not yet started.
//Sample 02: Initialize Progress Control
void CPrgrsClrDlg::InitProgress()
3) In the OnInitDialog of the class CPrgrsClrDlg, make a call to the InitProgress so that when the dialog appears, the progress control initialized to 0-100 Range and control start position is at zero. Below is the code:
// when the application's main window is not a dialog
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon
//Sample 03: Make a call to Progress Control
5. Capturing the Progress - Simulated
1) In the Start Progress button click handler increment the progress bar position one by one with a delay of 100 milliseconds. Here a loop that runs for 100 times is used to increment the progress position. To set the delay of 100 milliseconds "Sleep" function is used. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonStart()
 //Sample 04: Start Progressing with a Delay
2) Make a call to the InitProgress in the Reset Progress button click handler. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonReset()
 //Sample 05: Reset the Progress Status
6. Changing the progress bar color
In the Set Red button click handler, the progress bar's background color, as well as the Bar's color, is changed. The background color is set to white whereas the Bar color is set to Red. In VS2005 and earlier versions, the bar color can be set by sending the PBM_SETBARCOLOR" message to the progress bar. Below is the code:
void CPrgrsClrDlg::OnBnClickedButtonRed()
 //Sample 06: Change Background to white and Bar color to Red
 m_ctrl_progress.SetBkColor(RGB(255, 255, 255));
 m_ctrl_progress.SendMessage(PBM_SETBARCOLOR,0,RGB(255, 0, 0));

How am I able to set the size of the arrowheads at the end of a line to not increase in size when viewed at a larger map scale? When I zoom out, the arrowheads grow in size, but the lines do not lengthen. Is there a way to either fix the arrowhead size to remain the same at all scales? Or is there a way to have the lines increase when the scale increases as with the arrowheads?
Mapping Center Answer:
You have full control over the symbols you use. One thing to consider is the Reference Scale. The reference scale defines the scale at which symbols appear at their intended size. When you set the Reference Scale, changes in scale result in symbols changing their sizes relative to surrounding features.
If you haven't set a Reference Scale, symbols remain the same size and do not change relative to the surrounding features. This is the likely cause of what you are seeing happen on screen.
So if you set a Reference Scale when you create the arrowhead symbols, you should see more satisfactory results. For additional help on this topic take a look at the ArcGIS 10 Help topic called Working with data frame reference scales.

Common Issues
One common issue that users may encounter is that the function::fullpath_struct_file command may not be able to find the data structure file for a given function. This can happen if the function is not defined in the current directory, or if the data structure file is not in the same directory as the function.
To resolve this issue, you can try specifying the full path to the function, or you can try searching for the data structure file in a different directory.
Integration
The function::fullpath_struct_file command can be integrated with other Linux commands and tools to perform more complex tasks. For example, you can use the find command to search for the data structure file for a given function, or you can use the xargs command to pass the output of the function::fullpath_struct_file command to another command.
Related Commands
The following commands are related to the function::fullpath_struct_file command:
 - function::get_all_functions: Lists all of the functions in a given directory.
 - function::get_function_info: Gets information about a given function.
 - function::get_function_struct: Gets the structure of a given function.


What minimum information is required before I can calculate a payroll deduction?
For each type of payroll deduction calculation (Regular Salary/Pension/Bonus/Retroactive Pay/Commission), there are different required information fields that must be completed by the user before a payroll deduction calculation can be done. For all types of income except Commissions, the user must specify a Pay Period definition - i.e. weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, etc. For ALL calculations, the user must also specify the Quebec TP1015_3V - Total Claim Amount. For Commission income, the user must specify additional information from the commissioned employee's federal TD1X form. Any required information for a payroll deduction calculation will be documented in the QPTL documentation included with the QPTL API/SDK package. The user must ensure that valid information is provided in these required fields before sending requests to the QPTL library method(s).

Creating a project
A project is how you organize your resources to achieve a particular goal.
Your project resources can include data, collaborators, and analytic assets like notebooks and models.
Requirements
Before you create a project, understand the requirements for storage, collaborator eligibility, and catalog integration.
Storage requirement
You must associate an IBM Cloud Object Storage instance with your project to store assets. Each project has a separate bucket to hold the project's assets. If you are not an administrator for the IBM Cloud Object Storage instance, it must be configured to allow project creation.
Collaborator eligibility requirements
To keep your company data secure, you can restrict who is eligible to be a collaborator to people who are internal to your organization. Select the Restrict who can be a collaborator checkbox. You can add only members of your IBM Cloud account, or, if your company has SAML federation set up in IBM Cloud, employees of your company. This setting is permanent.
Watson Knowledge Catalog integration requirements
If you want to access a catalog in the project, the project has these requirements:
 - The project and the catalog must be created by members of the same IBM Cloud account, or, if your company set up SAML federation on IBM Cloud, employees of the same company.
 - If you want to add catalog assets to the project, you must select the Restrict who can be a collaborator checkbox during project creation. If you want to only publish assets to a catalog, you don't need to restrict the project.
Create a project
To create a project:
 1. Click New project on the Watson Studio home page or your My Projects page.
 2. Choose whether to create an empty project or to create a project based on an exported project file or a sample project.
 3. If you chose to create a project from a file or a sample, upload a project file or select a sample project. See Importing a project.
 4. On the New project screen, add a name and optional description for the project.
 5. Select the Restrict who can be a collaborator checkbox to restrict collaborators to members of your organization or integrate with a catalog. The checkbox is selected by default if you are a member of a catalog. You can't change this setting after you create the project.
 6. If prompted, choose or add any required services.
 7. Choose an existing object storage service instance or create a new one.
 8. Click Create. You can start adding resources if your project is empty, or begin working with the resources you imported.
The object storage bucket name for the project is based on the project name without spaces or non-alphanumberic characters plus a unique identifier.
Watch this video to see how to create both an empty project and a project from a file.

The Na'vi sometimes blow through the tubular plant body to make its signature wailing sound as a warning to intruders to stay away. Although deadly and toxic, the plant is also a food source for the Na'vi. The large seeds of the banshee are attached on the stem opposite to the direction the plant is pointing, making it easy for the Na'vi to harvest them.
The banshee of paradise is one of the most dangerous plants on Pandora because it can eject poison tipped spines in a targeted direction. It has the ability to sense infrared radiation (IR), which is emitted from warm objects such as animals and people, and to rotate its tubular body to point toward the source of the IR. Large spines contain toxins in glands on the tips, which can be deadly in large concentrations. When the source of IR comes close to the plant, the spines eject their poisonous tips in the direction of the threat. (Read more)


text: The objective of this paper is to introduce the constrained discrete-time statedependent Riccati equation (CD-SDRE) technique for decentralized multi-agent systems. First, a D-SDRE for tracking control is derived analytically. Then, the latter is utilized in formulating the distributed D-SDRE control law. The constraint problem of the D-SDRE/distribued D-SDRE is then addressed by recasting it into a model predictive control (MPC) problem. Solution of the latter is then carried out using particle swarm optimization (PSO), which facilitates estimation of the states and control inputs for the D-SDRE control law calculation. The use of decentralized CD-SDRE scheme in a networked system in the presence of constraints is then systematically demonstrated by applying this scheme to reconfiguration problems of spacecraft formation flying under constrained actuation. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy and reliability of the proposed CD-SDRE in the decentralized control of the spacecraft formation flying.

Stay in the Know
The FCC recently issued their proposed call authentication rules for comment, which are based on STIR/SHAKEN as mandated in the TRACED Act. The TRACED Act essentially mandates carrier deployment by June 30, 2021, though the FCC is proposing some extensions of the deadline in limited cases. It can be predicted with certainty that during an interim period there will be mix of carrier deployment timelines and inter-working issues will arise both before and after the deadline. For example, we know that time-division multiplexing based calls (i.e., non-STIR/SHAKEN authenticated calls) may be classified by a terminating STIR/SHAKEN-enabled carrier in a manner similar to unauthenticated, spoofed calls. Such concerns are not insurmountable; if we have tools to manage issues during this interim period, then we can tolerate some uncertainty.
Although call blocking using analytics is distinct from call authentication, there is a close relationship between call blocking and call authentication. Even though STIR/SHAKEN does not require using analytics to block calls, the results of the STIR/SHAKEN validation may be an input used by the analytics platform to determine whether a call qualifies as an illegal robocall for blocking. Call authentication provides an additional data point that can help in stopping illegal robocalls during the interim period. However, as we have seen, blocking calls using analytics is not perfect, and has the potential for exacerbating problems.
Minimizing the Impact of Errors During Early Deployment
There are four guiding principles that can significantly help minimize issues during the deployment of STIR/SHAKEN, particularly in the early phases. These principles will not prevent all types of problems from occurring, but they can minimize the impact of errors and allow an orderly migration path forward.
1. Notification When a Call is Blocked. Explicit notification by a carrier should inform the caller whenever a call is blocked. This should include providing both an audio intercept and a SIP error code to the caller so that regardless of whether the caller is a human or computer dialer, both are informed when a call is blocked. The notification should provide the caller with contact information for the terminating service provider to report an erroneously blocked call. Without knowing when calls are incorrectly blocked, future errors cannot be prevented. Mistakes by a carrier or analytics provider can be accepted to a certain extent; ignoring them and repeating them call-after-call cannot be tolerated.
2. Redress for Erroneously Blocked Calls. Carriers should offer effective and timely redress mechanisms for handling reports about calls being blocked in error. The functions of Notification and Redress go hand-in-hand; one cannot be effectively offered without the other.
3. Fully Authenticated Calls Should Not Be Blocked. Terminating carriers receiving "full" or "A" level attestation on calls should presume those calls to be legal and should not block those calls using predictive analytics. Fully authenticated calls, if suspicious, can be quickly traced back to their originating carrier and originator. Such calls should be presumed legitimate and should be investigated; then, if deemed necessary, these calls can be blocked in the future. Analytics should be used for potentially blocking only "B" (partial) and "C" (gateway) level attested calls. These calls should not receive the same presumption of legitimacy. Since "B" and "C" level calls cannot be unambiguously distinguished between various types of calls (i.e., both a domestic call from a TDM network and an international scam robocall can appear as "C" level attestation), analytics may have a continuing role in defining how these calls should be treated.
4. Authorized Numbers Should Receive "Full" or "A" level Attestation. Enterprises, upon providing evidence to their originating carrier of authorization to use a number by business agreement or other evidence (even if the number was not provided by that carrier to the enterprise), should be eligible to receive "A" level attestation. This aspect is explicitly memorialized in the ATIS standard, though it only describes an optional policy that carriers may adopt. Encouraging carriers to adopt this policy would address a persistent problem (called the 'enterprise problem') that involves enterprises using the same calling party number on calls offered to multiple originating carriers. Because fully authenticated calls are easily 'tracked and traced', such enterprises will subject themselves to scrutiny if they employ questionable calling practices.
A Near-Term Solution for a Complex Situation
Yes, there are myriads of details and issues that remain to be worked out in the coming months and years regarding STIR/SHAKEN deployment. Yes, there will be situations where calls may be invalidly blocked using predictive analytics. But, being able to identify and correct such mistakes using notification and redress functions (and thus help improve the accuracy of analytics) is something most everyone would agree is a desirable goal. There also will be situations where fully authenticated calls may be determined to be, in fact, illegal in some manner. However, STIR/SHAKEN technology can now quickly identify these callers and their originating carriers. Recent FCC actions have shown how regulators and the industry can quickly minimize their impact. Finally, there are enterprises that require use of multiple carriers and cannot tolerate their fully authorized numbers receiving less than "A" level attestation. While more complex solutions to this 'enterprise problem' are being discussed in standards, the existing standard allows a suitable solution for the near future. This solution does not require any slow down of the STIR/SHAKEN deployment.
Adopting these four principles will go a long way to facilitate STIR/SHAKEN deployment and calm the anxiety and concerns over various call originators as to how their calls will be treated. Carriers, too, can receive safe-harbor treatment if they adopt these principles. Industry and regulators are urged to adopt these guidelines to ease the transition into the STIR/SHAKEN environment.

Set the background color of a Power BI Embedded IFrame
Date de publication : 01 juin, 2018
When the IFrame size that's allocated for an embedded object and the embedded object itself don't share the same aspect ratio, the result is gray margins on the sides (marked in red in the following figure).
Grey Shoulders
You can use the Custom Layout API to define how to fill the IFrame or set a fixed size for the object at any time. But that sometimes doesn't entirely fix the appearance of the gray margins.
You can now set the background color of the IFrame by making it transparent. By doing so, you'll give the IFrame the defined color of the DIV element that contains the IFrame. You have full control of what color/background layout will be seen in the margins, making the embedded object wrapped entirely by the application design.
Note that the default color is still gray, so you'll need to set a definition in the JavaScript code to get the transparency of the IFrame.

French women will now need to be 18 years or older to consent to marry, three years older than previously required by law. The French parliament passed the law as a method of preventing forced marriages, reports Ireland Online, and the French standard is now aligned with other states that belong to the European Union.
Ireland Online also reports that the new law marks the first change to the legal age for marriage age since 1804, when Napoleon enacted his Napoleonic Code. For 200 years, women's age of consent has been 15, while men's has been 18. In addition to the marriage age, the law addresses marital rape and abuse. According to BBC, the French parliament is also passing laws to combat child pornography, female genital mutilation, and sex tourism.

AGE were commissioned to assess the potential to develop groundwater supply for the irrigation of sugar cane as part of a proposed major biofuel project located south-east of Pentland in central Queensland.
To date the work has involved field activities to assess the nature and distribution of permeable alluvial sediments, measure groundwater levels and consider groundwater quality in the context of irrigated agriculture. The collection of this data has enabled an assessment of the total and available groundwater in storage. A groundwater model was developed to further prove up the concept and feasibility of extracting groundwater supplies for irrigation demand from the groundwater resources in the region. The concept of Managed Aquifer Recharge to supplement the irrigation demand was also undertaken using the numerical model which was simulated using MODFLOW-USG. The work was undertaken for Renewable Developments Australia.

Allelopathic effect of aqueous extracts of different organs of three sunflower cultivars on germination of radish
Keywords:allelopathy, initial growth, Raphanus sativus, Helianthus annuus
This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of different organs of three sunflower cultivars on the germination and initial development of radish. The study was conducted in a Laboratory of Plant Physiology of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. The design was completely randomized in a three-factor scheme with four replications. The first factor consisted of three sunflower cultivars: Olisun 3, Olisun 5, and Aguará 6. The second factor consisted of different organs: leaves, stems, and roots. The third factor consisted of the extracts concentrations: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The experimental unit (EU) used was gearboxes with two sheets of germitest paper that were moistened with the extracts. The EUs were placed in BOD germination chamber at 25 °C. Daily count of germinated seeds was performed. The radicle length and hypocotyl were measured on the 10th day. The variables analyzed included germination (G); germination speed index (GSI); radicle length (RL); and hypocotyl length (HL). Sunflowers have allelopathic potential on the radish. The extract concentration of 75% of all organs and cultivars were sufficient to significantly reduce the variables. The allelopathic activity differs between organs (leaves, stems, and roots) and sunflower cultivars. The amount of allelopathic effects vary in the order of root, stem, and then leaf. Extracts from the roots showed the greatest allelopathic effect on germination and initial development on the radish; however, this depends on the cultivar used. Field studies should be performed to verify such allelopathic activities.

I would like to seek help from all experts in VB.NET (VB Language) regarding copying file from source folder to destination folder.
I have a files named YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt. Now i want to build a small project to copy those file to destination folder. The project should work in following manner:
 1. Check Computer Date
 2. Look for the file in destination folder similar to computer date and then copy that file to destination folder. For example:
 Let say Computer Date is 26/12/2012. When the program starts, it should check the computer date and then look for the file named 20121226*.txt. If the file is present then it should start copying else it should give a message saying the file does not exists.
 3. It should create log file storing the copy information.
Can any one help me how to have above feature in my project.
Till now how far you wrote code for this? You want someone to write code for you?
That is not a question, that is a specification. As stated above, show what you have tried and described what is giving you problems.
For the date use the Date.Today() function.
To take the date from the format dd/mm/yyyy and put it in the form ddmmyyyy you will need to build a new string like this Date.Today.Day & Date.Today.Month & Date.Today.Year
To check if a file exists you need to use the System.IO.File.Exists(path) function
Hope this helps. Should be enough to complete your task

Shrishank,
Are you kidding?…
If you have to delete Rows based on Criteria in separate (selectable) Fields you may write an A-script using this Algorithm:
1. Prompt the User to select a Category Item from the List as a pointer to a Range of Criteria Values.
2. Prompt the User to select one unique Criterion Value from the List.
3. Delete Rows from M1 matrix according to User-selected Criteria.
That's exactly what I did. See Version of the A-script for such Case.

Thank you for the reply and for sharing the model. The script works.
Quick follow up question.
If I have to delete rows based on criteria in seperate column do I write the function twice example:
|M1::RowLst|.items.each {
if (|M1|.getSelection(it, |M1::Product|).value.equals("Ford"))
it.delete()
}
|M1::RowLst|.items.each {
if (|M1|.getSelection(it, |M1::Qtr|).value.equals("Q1"))
it.delete()
}
This does work but seems to be inefficient.

Hi all.
Shrishank, this is the simple A-script that solves your problem. It need to remember that A-script will not remove Rows if all rows contain only 'Ford' in the Product field. The reason for this: any category in QM must have at least one Item.

Topic: How to pronounce "Arduino"? (Read 51690 times) previous topic - next topic
This is how you can pronounce the board's name in proper Italian, download the sound file in the format that better suits you:
"Add a bit of jazz and swing between the 'Ah' and the 'du' - then say the 'ino' as in "ee no""
Cool, i think that is the better pronunciation for the word ARDUINO.
its made up of two old italian words(latin based) it means "hard-work" and "small" like the English word "arduous" and ino means small...
According to a recent article from wired magazine (in italian) _URL_
The board was named after a pub in the surroundings of the Interaction Design Institute, Ivrea, Tourin, Italy.
Obviously Arduino is not just a pub's name, it's a proper (not so common) noun!
Arduino is still used as a name and surname, in Italy and probably in most european countries. Infact according to a great italian site for name and surnames (in italian) _URL_ :
"It comes from the germanic name, Harduwin or Hardwin, made by hardu-, "strong" and wini, "friend", spread by the tribal population of the Franks in the IXth century, consolidated thanks to the prestige of few saints and the Italian king Arduino d'Ivrea (_PHONE_).
The name day can be celebrated the 15th of august in memory of Saint Arduino from Rimini, died in 1009."
As of today this noun has more spread use as a surname
As you can see from the graph here _URL_
The name has even more wide spread use when meaning our lovely microcontroller, so let's take this for the first, most important, meaning of the word Arduino!

On a related note, in quite a few of Arduino project-related video clips I've watched, people pronunce "solder" as "sodder"... never heard that before, maybe it's a US thing (I'm English)...

You Brits. Always making trouble...
Well, I'm Italian and I have no difficult saying it out loud :P
Probably the best way to say it is : "Ard" - "do" - "eeno"
with "Ard" like "Hard" but without the H and "do" like the verb "to do"
I hope this make any sense to you, as I said I'm Italian not English mother tongue.
Marvin Martian
Ah yes. Well at least I'm not imagining it :)
Now don't get me started on "innernet" ;D
I just call it 'the microcontroller' or 'that, err, the arduee, oh,whatever. That board I always play with.' It is quite annoying not being able to pronounce arduino.

Grr, you people.
Do I really have to post it again?
Coding Badly: This line "I put my soldering iron in it's hoLder, not it's hodder." pretty much sums it up :D
I call it ''The Holy Microcontroller''
this is the most funny topic :P

|Look up gable in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.|
A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system being used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. A gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it.
A variation of the gable is a crow-stepped gable, which has a stair-step design to accomplish the sloping portion. Crow-stepped gables were used in Scotland and England as early as the seventeenth century. Examples of the crow-stepped gable can be seen at Muchalls Castle and Monboddo House, both 17th century Scottish buildings. Other early examples are found in parts of Denmark and Sweden.
Gable ends of more recent buildings are often treated in the same way as the Classic pediment form. But unlike Classical structures, which operate through trabeation, the gable ends of many buildings are actually bearing-wall structures. Thus, the detailing tends to be ambiguous, misleading, and to some architects "deceitful".[why?] See: John Ruskin and The Seven Lamps of Architecture.
Gable end roofs are among the worst roof designs for hurricane regions. Not only do gable roofs easily peel off in hurricane winds, but according to one hurricane survival guide book, a gable end "catches wind like a sail."[this quote needs a citation] When wind flows over a gable roof it behaves much like a wing. Lift is created on the leeward side of the roof. The flatter the roof the more likely this will happen. Steep roofs tend to cause the wind to "stall" as it goes over the roof and breaks up the effect. The addition of a "vertical fin" to low pitched roofs will also help.

Create a resource plan
As administrator, you can create resource plans that configure your cluster for different conditions, enabling you to improve parallel query execution and share queries on nodes running LLAP. You can allocate resources to a pool of users, groups, or applications and trigger actions in a plan.
As administrator, you can either create a new resource plan or clone another plan and then modify it.
Create a resource plan.
- Create a new resource plan (for example, one named
CREATE RESOURCE PLAN high_concurr_rp;
- Clone an existing resource plan (for example, ha_plan) and rename it
CREATE RESOURCE PLAN high_concurr_rp LIKE ha_plan;
- Create a new resource plan (for example, named high_concurr_rp) and
specify a query concurrency
CREATE RESOURCE PLAN high_concurr_rp WITH QUERY_PARALLELISM=15;
- Create a new resource plan (for example, one named high_concurr_rp):
Optionally, add one or more query pools to the plan.
CREATE POOL high_concurr_rp.bi_pool WITH ALLOC_FRACTION=75,QUERY_PARALLELISM=5; CREATE POOL high_concurr_rp.etl_pool WITH ALLOC_FRACTION=25,QUERY_PARALLELISM=10;This example configuration allocates 75 percent of the LLAP cluster resources to one pool and 25 percent to the other, and allows 5 concurrent queries by users in one pool and 10 concurrent queries by users in the other.
Optionally, map an application to a pool.
CREATE APPLICATION MAPPING tableau_to_bi IN bi_pool;This example mapping of the Tableau application to the bi_pool requires Tableau to connect to HiveServer using a JDBC connection string that includes
applicationName="Tableau". In a mapping of a group to a pool, group authorization depends on the HDFS group configuration on the cluster. You can configure Lightweight Directory Protocol (LDAP) and other mechanisms.
Optionally, create a trigger. For example, create a trigger that moves a query
to the etl_pool for execution when the execution time exceeds one minute.
CREATE TRIGGER high_concurr_rp.slow_query WHEN execution_time_ms > 60000 DO MOVE TO etl_pool;
If you are running the LLAP service, add a trigger to the pool or resource plan
as shown in the following example.
ALTER TRIGGER high_concurr_rp.slow_query ADD TO POOL bi_pool;You use the ALTER TRIGGER command to add a trigger to a pool or resource plan running under LLAP; otherwise, the trigger is considered global and runs only in Tez.

Proceedings of SPIE - the International Society for Optical Engineering
Modeled hyperspectral reflectance signatures just above the water surface are obtained from radiative transfer models to create synthetic images of targets below the water surface. Images are displayed as 24 bit RGB images of the water surface using selected channels. Example model outputs are presented in this paper for a hyperspectral Monte Carlo and a hyperspectral layered analytical iterative model of radiative transport within turbid shallow water types. Images at the selected wavelengths or channels centered at 490, 530 and 680 nm suggests the two models provide quite similar results when displayed as RGB images. The techniques are demonstrated to the problem of extracting synthetic targets from hyperspectral synthetic images in the presence of water surface wave, using spectral wave models. The most sensitive parameters for generating realistic images are water depth and bottom reflectance in clean natural and optically shallow waters. Also presented are platforms for use in ports, harbors, inlets and waterways developed and designed for current and future monitoring to insure sustainable safe shallow water environments.

Colloidal Silver
Last Updated: August 13, 2018
Definition - What does Colloidal Silver mean?
Colloidal silver is made up of a mixture of distilled water and pure (0.9999) silver. It is created by flowing an electrical current through water mixed with silver electrodes. The current causes the microscopic particles of the silver to break away from each other. Once they break off, they become suspended in the water mixture.
Many cannabis growers use colloidal silver on a marijuana plant to force the plant to produce feminized seeds. After applying the colloidal silver to the cannabis plant, the pollen collected will contain no Y chromosomes. The pollen will only have double X chromosomes, which help ensure female seed production.
MaximumYield explains Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is misted onto a marijuana plant's foliage to force the plant to start pollen production. The grower usually mists the plants daily with colloidal silver for 10-14 days.
Typically, when growing marijuana plants there is a 50 per cent chance of the plant creating male seeds. However, with the use of colloidal silver, the chance of a plant developing all female seeds becomes almost a guarantee. Even if a male plant does develop after using colloidal silver, the male is still a genetic female but with male characteristics.
Silver colloidal acts as an ethylene inhibitor/antagonist on the marijuana plant. The silver colloidal forces the weed plant to develop male pollen sacs instead of the female buds that it would normally grow. The pollen from the male pollen sacs can then be collected and used to pollinate female flowers to develop feminized seeds.

Keywords: [ Kernel Methods ] [ change point analysis ] [ nonparametric ]
We study the change point problem that considers alterations in the conditional distribution of an inferential target on a set of covariates. This paired data scenario is in contrast to the standard setting where a sequentially observed variable is analyzed for potential changes in the marginal distribution. We propose new methodology for solving this problem, by starting from a simpler task that analyzes changes in conditional expectation, and generalizing the tools developed for that task to conditional distributions. Large sample properties of the proposed statistics are derived. In empirical studies, we illustrate the performance of the proposed method against baselines adapted from existing tools. Two real data applications are presented to demonstrate its potential.

What Specific Projects will the Task Force Undertake?
Work with AAPT on plans for continuing and enhancing the New Physics Faculty Workshop program. Extend the New Faculty Program to workshops at APS Division Meetings. Perhaps develop ties with the Pew Preparing Future Faculty program, the PKAL Faculty 21 project and Project NeXT.
 1. Set up an activist editorial board for the undergraduate part of the Physics Sciences Resource Center (on the AAPT web site) to provide a clearinghouse for information on undergraduate physics programs.
 2. Use departmental site visits and other means to develop a catalog of case studies of departments that have undertaken successful undergraduate physics revitalization efforts. Document and analyze these case studies to provide information on "what works" and what is need to produce effective change in undergraduate physics programs.
 3. Articulate departmental responsibilities for K-12 teacher preparation and find good case studies of where that effort has been successful. Build on the efforts of PhysTEC, the proposal submitted by APS, AIP, and AAPT to NSF for promoting physics departments to take more responsibility for K-12 teacher preparation. A small conference on the role of physics departments in pre-service K-12 teacher preparation will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in June, 2000.
 4. Develop a colloquium talk on undergraduate physics programs that can be given by Task Force members to physics departments around the country.
 5. Plan for a proposal to establish a large-scale funding program to provide seen money for departments that have developed detailed plans for revitalizing their undergraduate physics programs. These departments can then serve as case studies and consultants for other departments.

This paper presents an empirical study of some non-exhaustive approaches to optimizing preferences within the context of constraint-based, mixed-initiative planning for mission operations. This work is motivated by the experience of deploying and operating the MAPGEN (Mixed-initiative Activity Plan GENerator) system for the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. Responsiveness to the user is one of the important requirements for MAPGEN; hence, the additional computation time needed to optimize preferences must be kept within reasonable bounds. This was the primary motivation for studying non-exhaustive optimization approaches. The specific goals of the empirical study are to assess the impact on solution quality of two greedy heuristics used in MAPGEN and to assess the improvement gained by applying a linear programming optimization technique to the final solution.

Background: The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been increasing worldwide. We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with Siewert type II and III AEGs and clarified the optimal intra-abdominal lymph node dissection in these patients.Methods: This study included 132 patients with AEG who underwent curative resection at Shizuoka Cancer Center from September 2002 to December 2012. We used the index of estimated benefit from lymph node dissection (IEBLD) to assess the efficacy of lymph node dissection of each station. The clinicopathological characteristics and IEBLDs of each station were compared between patients with Siewert type II and III AEGs.Results: We analyzed 92 patients with Siewert type II AEG and 40 patients with Siewert type III AEG. The incidence of lymph node metastasis was high in both groups (64.1 % in type II AEG and 75.0 % in type III AEG). The 5-year survival rates were similar for the patients with Siewert type II and III AEGs, at 54.0 and 53.4 %, respectively. The IEBLDs of stations located near the esophagogastric junction were generally high in both groups, while the IEBLDs of lower perigastric lymph nodes were higher in Siewert type III than in Siewert type II AEG cases.Conclusions: The IEBLDs were similar between Siewert type II and III AEGs at all stations except for lower perigastric lymph nodes. Total gastrectomy should be selected as a standard treatment for Siewert type III AEG, whereas in Siewert type II AEG, preservation of the distal part of the stomach may be an acceptable procedure.

How to Care for Crocodile Skin Leather Goods
Crocodile goods are very famous as well as expensive. These goods are costly because of fine quality crocodile leather. Different things are made with this high-priced leather-like, shoes, bags, coats and violet etc. These things come with great responsibility because it is very easy to buy and wear them but on the other hand, very difficult to save them. Here are some ways to safe these products for a long time.
1. Avoid from the direct sun:
The leather of crocodile is very fine and also transformed in many ways. So after made it as a final product, it became finer and dry. If you put this product to direct sunlight then it becomes dry out. Heat will cause damage and also a loss of natural sheen. So avoid direct heat and put these things in a closet to keep them dry and good.

2. Keep safe from rain and water:
Some leathers are able to absorb the water but others are not. If this leather absorbs water, in that case, your product could be damaged. So, avoid unnecessary water usage on it. While washing your product use excess water. The better way is to use your thing and then put it back without washing. Use a dry cloth for rubbing the surface. Also, spray and creams are coming along with these products so use them only. The skin of crocodile is already moisture so any water can cause to damage the product.
3. Keep away from harsh chemicals:
Do not use the chemical to wash these products. Use chemicals that are written in the catalog of these leather products. Do not spray any kind of perfume on it. Especially when you are wearing a jacket, take care of it while eating.
4. Do not scratch the surface:
If you get some dirt or stain on it, do not scratch it because it causes breaks in the leather and it cannot be repaired. So only clean the main area and use conditioner and let it dry.

5. Avoid folding and pressing opposite to its real shape:
For a longer use of crocodile leather pieces, for example, if you have a leather jacket, avoid folding it tightly. Because first of all, crocodile skin is caiman skin and it has calcium stores in it that makes crocodile skin more rigid. If you start folding the skin tightly then it comes to at points where not need to be folded then it might cause damage. And the result could be more horrible like unsightly cracks or wrinkle marks.
By all means, when the client gets his custom-made crocodile skin product, he became responsible to take care of it. With the proper care of crocodile skin products, it should stay beautiful and fresh. These are always ready for use even for many years. We are sharing these general care tips and these tips are more important for the crocodile leather products. With this, you can help to extend the useful life of expensive and exotic leather goods. These tips keep the clients satisfied and coming back for more goods.

To skew an object by using the resize handles
Select an object or a group of objects or anchor points. The resize handles appear.
Position your pointer near but outside one of the side handles and use one of the following methods:
To skew horizontally, drag the top or bottom side handle of the object to the left or right.
To skew vertically, drag either the left or right side handle.
To skew the object around its center point, hold down the ALT key.
A shape (in blue) being skewed with the top handle
You can skew and create a duplicate of a selection at the same time by holding down CTRL+ALT when you drag.
To skew an object by using the Action Bar
On the left side of the Action Bar, click the registration point icon to indicate which part of the selected object you want to stay stationary during skewing. For example, if you want the upper-right corner of your object to remain in position when the rest of the object skews, click the upper-right corner of the registration point icon.
Adjust the Skew Angle. Drag the pointer up or to the right to increase the value, or drag it down or to the left to reduce the value. Click the field to type a numeric value.
To skew vertically (shear) instead of horizontally, set the Rotation Angle and Skew Angle fields to the same value.


text: ||Surface-constrained motion, i.e., motion constraint by a rigid surface, is commonly found in daily activities. The current work investigates the choice of hand paths constrained to a concave hemispherical surface. To gain insight regarding the paths and their relationship with task dynamics, we simulated various control policies. The simulations demonstrated that following a geodesic path is advantageous not only in terms of path length, but also in terms of motor planning and sensitivity to motor command errors. These stem from the fact that the applied forces lie in a single plane (that of the geodesic path itself). To test whether human subjects indeed follow the geodesic, and to see how such motion compares to other paths, we recorded movements in a virtual haptic-visual environment from eleven healthy subjects. The task was comprised of point-to-point motion between targets at two elevations (30 degrees and 60 degrees ). Three typical choices of paths were observed from a frontal plane projection of the paths: circular arcs, straight lines, and arcs close to the geodesic path for each elevation. Based on the measured hand paths, we applied k-means blind separation to divide the subjects into three groups and compared performance indicators. The analysis confirmed that subjects who followed paths closest to the geodesic produced faster and smoother movements, compared to the others. The 'better' performance reflects the dynamical advantages of following the geodesic path, as shown by the simulations, and may also reflect invariant features of the control policies used to produce such a surface-constrained motion.
