Hockerton Housing Project
The Hockerton Housing Project (HHP) is the UK's first earth sheltered, self-sufficient ecological housing development. The residents of the five houses generate their own clean energy, harvest their own water and recycle waste materials causing minimal pollution or carbon dioxide emissions. The houses are amongst the most energy efficient, purpose-built dwellings in Europe. The houses are the focus of a holistic way of living, which combines the production of organic foods, low intensity fish farming, promotion of wildlife, and the planting of thousands of trees.
The project was conceived in the early 1990's. It took two years to complete the planning agreement with the local authority and a further two years to build the homes and facilities.
Over the years the project has established itself as an exemplar of sustainable development. As a result of this, it has developed a range of services through the creation of a small on-site business. This workers' co-operative provides a level of employment for its members, whilst promoting sustainable development. Its activities include running guided tours, workshops, talks, consultancy and, soon to be launched, a match-making service.
Although each family has their own home, the community share food growing, site maintenance, managing the facilities and a common sustainable business.

Change a path's starting point
While open paths have obvious starting and ending points, closed paths also have a starting point (which is the same as its ending point). Microsoft Expression Design uses the starting point of a closed path to determine how a brush stroke fits on a path, for example.
To change the starting point on an existing path
In the Toolbox, select the Start Point tool.
Click the anchor point you want to be the new starting point.
You can also use the Start Point tool on an open path. If you click the starting point or ending point of an open path, Expression Design just reverses the direction of the path. If you click any anchor point other than an ending or starting point, the path converts to a closed path, and that anchor point becomes the path's starting point.


Author Topic: A way to connect 1 output to a large numbers of (function) nodes inputs (Read 425 times)
I regularly work on filters that take a large number of samples or iterations and it can be a real headache when you expose a new variable for one of your iterations and to connect it in your main graph to, say, 64 iterations of that subgraph.
I just added a new input to this function
And now I have to reconnect it, indeed, 64 times.
For me, this situation comes up on the regular.
Functionality wise, I imagine something like this:
First you select the node with the output you want to connect. Through a button load this selection as "source node". Then either by output number or by identifier select which output will be connected to the group of receiving nodes.
Now select the group of nodes that will receive the new input. Press a button to load in this selection as "receiving nodes". Then select which input all of these nodes will connect, by number or identifier.
Finally press a button to connect the selected output to all of the selected inputs.
I imagine this might be possible through Python, but I personally have little programming experience, so don't really know where to even start.

 //People with a percentage of more than 80% are considered "good workers". So we don't need to send them a message
 if (percentage <= 80) {

 //We need to post these data to the Twilio API, which will send the SMS to the user's phone, so the POST method is the one to use here
 request.setMethod('POST');

 HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
 // If the request is successful, we parse the JSON response
 if (response.getStatusCode() == 201) {

Oh, maybe the link is that Mourinho cannot hear the real-time notifications, as for me on this development?
Hi! What's up? This post is really special because I've failed to implement it. You know that the last Saturday was the day of the UCL Final. Manchester City had to win it for the first time in their history, and Inter Milan had the chance to win their first Champions since 2010. So, I was imagining my evening like this: I would be watching the match(I mean, really watching), and from time to time, I would go to Salesforce, to verify if I had received some notifications about a new goal. But it didn't go well...So, I consider this development as a failure, and I would be glad if it turned out differently, but that's how life is, I think. So, I am not very proud of this development, because I could have done so much better, but I still would like to show it to you.
It didn't go well because I didn't test it well. Football APIs are pretty expensive. The free version of the API I used was only allowing 100 callouts a day. So, I only tested it once, on Friday night, and I considered that the response's shape would be significantly the same, which wasn't true. I was thinking I was ready, but I was not.
My errors led me to encounter some errors, like "NullPointerExceptions" or "List index out of bounds" errors, or even by giving the wrong endpoint while trying to call the API for a specific match. Errors are very common where you are a developer, but

Two positive numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are given. We are going to describe a process of choosing a random vector on the unit sphere $S$ in $\mathbb R^3$ (given by $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$).
A vector $u\in S$ is chosen uniformly at random in the spherical disc with center $(0,0,1)$ and radius $\alpha$ on the sphere. After that a vector $v\in S$ is chosen uniformly at random on the spherical circle with center $u$ and radius $\beta$.
Can we describe the distribution of $v$ on the sphere (e.g., by specifying its density function or otherwise)? Clearly, $v$ lies in the spherical disc around $(0,0,1)$ of radius $\alpha+\beta$, however its distribution doesn't seem to be uniform. Can we estimate somehow the most frequent angle that $v$ subtends with $(0,0,1)$? The answer should certainly depend on $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
(By a "spherical disc" with center $c$ and radius $r$ we understand the set of points on the sphere whose distance from $c$ is at most $r$. Similarly, a "spherical circle" with center $c$ and radius $r$ is the set of points on the sphere whose distance from $c$ is exactly $r$.)
This question arouse related to the distribution of the polarization vector in a randomly grained polycrystalline material (ceramics).

I think you can get the answer as a one-dimensional integral using the spherical law of cosines. – Douglas Zare Sep 30 '12 at 20:44
Let $\theta$ be the angle the second radius $uv$ makes with the first radius $pv$ (where $p=(0,0,1)$) and let $\phi$ be the angle $v$ makes with $p$. Then the distribution of $v$ depends only on $\phi$, which in turn depends only on $\theta$, which is uniformly distributed. Calculate $\phi(\theta)$ and take $d\phi/d\theta$ and you have your answer. I get $\sqrt{1 - (\cot \alpha \cot \beta - \cos \phi \csc \alpha \csc \beta)^2} \csc \phi \sin \alpha \sin \beta$ in Mathematica, but I did not check this carefully. – Yoav Kallus Sep 30 '12 at 21:43

A Box Compression Tester is a crucial testing machine used in the paper and packaging industry to measure the compression strength of corrugated boxes, cartons, and other packaging materials. It determines the maximum force a packaging box can withstand before it gets damaged, ensuring that the package remains intact during transportation or warehousing.
Testing the crushing strength of boxes is essential to prevent damage to the products inside and avoid customer dissatisfaction. Additionally, Box Compression Tester packaging professionals use Box Compression Testers to check the proper filling of boxes, ensuring that there is no excess space or excessive weight on one side.
The importance of Box Compression Testers in the packaging industry cannot be overstated. By accurately measuring the compressive force a packing box can handle under practical stacking conditions, these testing machines help manufacturers ensure the quality of their packaging. This testing process guarantees that products reach their destination in perfect condition, minimizing waste of time, money, and effort invested in product construction.
Box Compression Testers not only assess the compression-resistance strength of packaging materials but also evaluate other factors such as product compatibility, maximum pressure strength, proper packing, product stability and consistency, and box fill capacity.
These testing machines enable packaging industries to create practical testing conditions in the laboratory, ensuring accurate assessment of box quality. For more information about Box Compression Testers, you can consult experts at Pacorr Testing Instruments by calling +91-_PHONE_ or emailing [email protected]. They can assist you in selecting the right testing device for your laboratory to test the quality of your packaging materials.

Interior: Plants warrant federal protection
The federal government has declared two western Colorado wildflowers to be candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act, conservation groups say.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar determined the skiff milkvetch and Scholl's milkvetch warrant but can't be listed for protection because of higher priorities, WildEarth Guardians and the Center for Native Ecoystems said in a news release.
Colorado is the only state where the plants are found, the groups said. The skiff milkvetch, which gets its name from its boat-shaped fruits, occupies just 83 acres in Gunnison and Saguache counties. Schmoll's milkvetch has a total of four populations, and is found on mesa tops in Mesa Verde National Park and the Ute Mountain Ute reservation.
Drought, climate change and proliferation of cheatgrass, a nonnative species, are considered threats to both plants. Livestock grazing, development, and roads and trails are among other threats to the skiff milkvetch, the groups say.

Communication with Physicians about Health Care Costs
CONTEXT: Health care costs have increasingly shifted to patients, and financial distress caused by medical care has increased. Patients may wish to discuss costs with their clinicians.
OBJECTIVE: Describe patient preferences for communication about cost in the clinical setting.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional, self-administered survey of a stratified random sample of the population insured in an integrated health care system in Washington State. Our sampling frame was the entire membership aged 21 years or older. Sampling was stratified by sex and group practice enrollment.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preference for discussing health care costs with one's physician. We conducted regression analyses to determine predictors of communication preference; potential predictors included demographic characteristics, financial burden, delay in seeking care because of cost, and socioeconomic variables. Survey responses were weighted to adjust for nonresponse and sampling.
RESULTS: Of 7200 invitations sent, 2200 survey responses were returned. Ninety-two percent wished to know their out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment. Most respondents preferred their physician talk with them about out-of-pocket costs (81.4%) and expressed comfort with discussing costs with their physician (75.6%). Overall, 43.7% reported any delay in seeking care in the previous 12 months. One in 5 respondents (21.6%) reported family medical debt. Delay in seeking care was positively and independently associated with preferring to discuss costs with one's physician; current medical financial burden was not.
CONCLUSION: Patient preferences for communication about costs with physicians are high, and medical debt and delay in care-seeking are prevalent. Delay in care-seeking independently predicts cost communication preferences.

WINTER ice can severely disrupt shipping around northern coastlines. But now a Canadian marine engineer claims he has found a way of controlling ice formation in ports and harbours. Per Andersen says his wave generator projector could help prevent seawater from freezing over by producing artificial waves.
When seawater is mechanically agitated, the deeper, warmer water mixes with the colder surface water. This process should prevent ice from building up, says Andersen, who has tested the prototype in Canada.
The machine is 7.5 metres long. It consists of a floating helical roller, similar to a large corkscrew, supported at either end by pontoons. The roller is rotated in the water by an electric motor to create a train of waves several hundred millimetres high.
According to Andersen, artificial waves have a higher height-to-length ratio than natural waves, making them better able to displace water. As a result, more water is...

In SCEC code-comparison exercise, the results of TPV25 are quite different when the conditions at the fault junction are changed. The connected branch fault allows the rupture to slip at the junction and thus has ability to fully rupture. Does pylith supports such connected branch fault model?
PyLith can handle T intersections of faults.
Typically for a fault branch, we create the main (through-going) fault first and then the branch fault. The branch fault must be clamped (no slip) at its intersection with the main fault. The clamping is done by including the intersection in the buried edges. This results in the following geometry:
A===============B=============C \ \ \ D
The "main" fault is A-B-C and the branch fault is B-D. The vertices at B are included in the buried edges for the branch fault. Slip can occur anywhere along A-B-C on the main fault. Slip can occur on the branch fault B-D except at B.
Alternatively, the branch fault can be B-C. That is, one can first create the main fault A-B-D and then the branch fault B-C with B again being in the buried edges for the branch fault B-C. This would allow slip anywhere along the main fault A-B-D and slip on the branch fault B-C except at B.
When I say, create the main fault first, I mean list it first in the PyLith parameter file. PyLith will create faults in the order they are listed in the
Thanks for your help. You used the command
group "branch_fault" remove node in main_fault in
createbc.jou file of TPV24. If I include the intersection in the buried edges rather than remove it from branch fault, then I can create a connected fault model. Is that right?
Hi, Brad. I created a fault model as you described. I set the A-B-C as the main fault and B-D as the branch fault with vertices at B included in the buried edges. But I found that B-D is still disconnected with the A-B-C and can only be dynamic triggered by the rupture on main fault. I am wondering that if I run two simulations with A-B-C and A-B-D respectively and then combine the results of A-B-C and B-D, could it equivalent to a connected fault model?
In PyLith v2.2 when creating the
branch_fault nodeset, you do not need to remove the nodes in the
main_fault nodeset; that only applied in versions of PyLith before we implemented buried edges. The nodesets for the two faults will overlap at the intersection; the nodes in the intersection should be included in the bured edges nodeset for the branch fault.

Musical Ping-Pong Challenges Players To Keep A Steady Beat [Video]
Created by David Rinman, Beat Match plays music and graphics triggered by the ball's movements.
Stockholm-based graphic designer and art director David Rinman created an interactive table tennis game called Beat Match that displays graphics and plays music based on the movements of the ball.
The sounds and graphic images follow the tempo and rhythm of the game, so the music stops if one player misses the ball.
Beat Match lets players focus on keeping a steady beat to create a long and good musical composition instead of winning points, not unless they're competitive and want to play a mean game with lights and sounds to accompany them.

DataStage – How to add or subtract from a date in a transformer stage
DataStage – How to add or subtract from a date in a transformer stage
From time to time there is a need to adjust a date within a DataStage transformer. It could be as small subtracting a day to set a batch processing date to yesterday or something bigger. If you need to adjust a date by a year, month and/or day the DateOffsetByComponents function is the method. The DateOffsetByComponents function can work with a fixed value or input from the job either; an input field, or a stage variable. The main thing is knowing what to put in which position in the offset values with the understanding that offsets values can be positive or negative, thereby, allowing the addition and subtraction of different part of a date in a dataStage transformer.
Purpose of DateOffsetByComponents Function
 - This function is used to obtain a specific required date by applying offset to a given date.
Syntax
DateOffsetByComponents(<<Input Date>>, year offset, month offset, day of month offset)

Question: How Do You Remove Pencil Marks Without Eraser?
Why is my eraser hard?
Why do pencil erasers get hard.
Because it works by "absorbing" the pencil lead and over time that makes it brittle or harden.
Dirt and lead and all kinds of stuff it comes into contact with just hardens over it..
What should I do if my kneaded eraser is hard?
If it is too stiff, break it into pieces and knead each piece until it is no longer stiff. If that doesn't work, rinse it under warm water, then knead it. What happens if you stretch a kneaded eraser farther than you should? If you stretch it too much, it will break apart easily.
Why can't you erase colored pencil?
Colored pencils are mostly wax/oil that holds the pigment, so rubber won't pick up their marks easily like graphite–you'll probably find that an eraser just smudges colored pencil.
What is the best pencil eraser?
How do you make a homemade kneaded eraser?
You can make a kneaded eraser out of pretty much any solid eraser that you have, even the one on the end of a pencil, just by rubbing it on a piece of paper to create crumbs and then kneading the crumbs together into a putty.
How do you completely remove pencil marks?
How to Clean StainsErase it! That's right, try the eraser. … Liquid Detergent. If a soft eraser failed to remove the stain, apply a few drops of liquid detergent to the affected area and rub gently with a soft, damp cloth. … All Purpose Cleaner. … Vegetable Oil. … Baby Wipes. … Toothpaste.
Can you erase colored pencil marks?
One technique is to apply a small amount of solvent to the area you want to fix, which will loosen the colored pencil marks, and then use the electric eraser over the area. … It's also a good idea to observe how the paper reacts to the eraser, because some papers can handle erasing better than others.
What is the easiest pencil to erase?
The more easily a graphite mark will smudge – the more easily it will erase. So no matter how lightly you draw with a hard pencil (6H) it will be harder to erase than a soft pencil (HB or 2B).
What can be used instead of eraser?
Eraser Alternatives for Pencil Marksrubber bands (Depending on the type, they're as effective as standard erasers.)the edge of a sneaker.white flexible earphone cords.the sole of a Chukka Boot or a Bass Weejuns boat shoe.a scrap of art paper folded four times—good for lifting lead.
How do you revive a pencil eraser?
Dip the eraser into the water. Gently knead it and squeeze it with your fingers until you can feel it begin to soften. Find a paper towel and dry the eraser. Place it in a cool dry place to completely dry to normalcy.
Can you erase pencil marks on a canvas?
John, if you have it on a stretched canvas, put a block of some kind back behind the pencil so you can use more force with the eraser. It should be a hard eraser like the Staedtler white eraser. If it's mounted on a board, do the same but without the block.
What happens if you put an eraser in the microwave?
Microwaving these "rubbers" will melt them, leaving a mess inside your oven. You also shouldn't microwave these. … People also ask, can an eraser melt plastic? Eraser Melts Plastic.
Does pencil wash out of clothes?
Have you ever noticed pencil marks and stains on your clothes? … Removing them from washable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or polyester can be as simple as using a soft eraser to get rid of the stain (just as long as you are being cautious as not to ruin the fabric you're working with).
What can you do with old erasers?
9 Extremely Useful Things You Can Do With Pencil ErasersStabilize A Frame. Tired of picture frames that are always tilting to one side and scuffing up your walls? … Remove Adhesive Residue. … Erase Scuff Marks. … Save An Earring. … Keep Track Of Pins. … Keep Shoes Shiny. … Plant Seeds Perfectly. … Revive Rechargeable Batteries.More items…•
How can I decorate my eraser?
Decorate Your ErasersChoose the scrapbook paper you want to use. … Glue one end (I used mod podge and it worked very well) to the edge of the existing eraser cover. … Brush on a light layer of mod podge around the entire eraser cover. … Let the covers dry and put them back on the erasers.

For healthy hair, skin and nails. Since L-Methionine is a building block protein tissue, many people take it to help their hair grow, their nails stay strong, and their skin remain youthful and healthy.
So let's talk about how L-Methionine works for your hair, skin and nails
This amino acid together with L-Cysteine, B complex vitamins, and other nutrients helps your body to manufacture new protein tissues. L-Methionine can not be manufactured directly by your body, so to be able to get your necessary supply, you need to depend on your dietary sources and supplements.
The key element of L-Methionine is sulfur. To manufacture keratin in the hair shaft, you need the sulfur. And methionine is one of four amino acids that contain sulfur (L-Cysteine being the other one). Methionine is also one of only three amino acids that help your body to build creatine, a protein that is necessary for your muscle growth and energy.
What does L-Methionine do for your for hair?
Methionine also reduces breakage and hair loss so try to include some L-Methionine supplements.
The benefits of L-Methionine
L-Methionine plays an important role to the health of your hair, skin and nails so taking this sulfur-rich compound is something that you should consider including in your everyday diet. Taking a beauty supplement that contains L-Methionine will boost the availability of protein building blocks that your body needs to make keratin and collagen. And that means beautiful hair and skin, as well as nails.

"U" is the unit of weight. 2U stands for 90-94.9 grams, 3U stands for 85-89.9 grams, 4U stands for 80-84.9 grams, and 5U stands for 75-79.9 grams (all are unstrung weight).
VICTOR releases new grip indicator in 2013, provides consumers an easier way to select the racket that best suits their needs.
Tension, divided into lateral line H and vertical line V tension, is the safety factor of a racket frame, the maximum poundage that can be safety reached when a racket is strung. For example, H≤30lb V≤28lb means that, when a racket is strung, the highest lateral line tension is 30 lb and the highest vertical line tension is 28 lb.
The racket balance point is the distance from the front sleeve to the fulcrum, the higher the value the heavier the head is (HH), and the smaller the value the lighter the head (HL).
The stiffness of the shaft affects the feeling when you play badminton. When a soft racket (shaft) is used, the shuttlecock stays on the racket face for a longer time and is easier to control. Soft rackets are suited for use by beginners. When a stiff racket hits a shuttlecock, accuracy and efficiency of power delivery are better than with a soft racket; stiff rackets are best used only by advanced players.
The Response Indicator is classified into 10 levels which shows on the racket's shaft. The dot closes left side with stiff response, while right side with flexible response.


Kinetic energy and potential energy concept question
 1. i need a review. why does lifting a book at a constant speed result in a constant KE but changing PE? obviously KE = 1/2 mv^2 but im looking for a conceptual answer. doesnt KE need to equal PE for energy to be conserved?
 im in e&m right now and theres a statement in my book saying that the book situation is analogous to potential within an emf source. so W = 0 (work done on a test charge within an ideal emf source), U is increased, and KE is constant. but in the book analogy doesnt the book have to be moving in the +/- x direction for W = 0?
 so to summarize i have two questions, (1) concerns how energy is conserved with a constant KE but changing U and (2) concerns how W = 0 if there is a changing U
 please answer both questions in terms of the book analogy AND the emf source! thanks in advance :)

 Lifting a book is a quite different situation to a falling book. :smile: In lifting it, you are doing work all the while, so you are increasing its potential energy by moving it higher.
 For something falling, its PE is converted into KE. No extra work is being done on the system. One form of energy is being converted into the other. And that KE all gets wasted when the book hits the floor.
 4. that makes sense but how is there zero work being done in an emf source yet there is a changing KE and static PE? :/ its almost like the falling book situation and lifting book situation combined...
 5. strike that, reverse it :) changing PE, static KE
Have something to add?

Bird and Bird Application Process
The Bird & Bird recruitment process can be difficult due to the popularity of the Bird and Bird training contract. The PrepPack™ is a well-known and trusted resource when it comes to job recruitment preparation. Once you have submitted your Bird and Bird online application, you will be requested to complete an online test. This test is the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal, also known as the Watson Glaser. Once completed, the application form and Bird and Bird online test will be evaluated. Successful candidates are invited to the next stage in the process, which is the Bird and Bird video interview. Selected candidates are then invited to the Bird and Bird assessment day. Unfortunately, Bird and Bird candidates who have applied previously in the same recruitment year, but have been unsuccessful at either application or interview, need to wait till the next recruitment year before submitting another Bird and Bird application.
Bird and Bird Watson Glaser Tests
The Bird & Bird Critical Thinking test is divided into five sections – Inference, recognizing assumptions, deduction, interpretation and evaluation of arguments. Each section has its own question type that assesses a particular critical thinking ability. This Bird and Bird test is verbal and requires a deep and concise understanding of when and to what extent of certainty can one draw conclusions, based on given data; the ability to determine whether certain assumptions have been made in a text, be they true or not; and objectively assessing the validity of arguments, regardless of prejudice or personal experience. The short version, which is commonly used today, includes 40 questions and takes between 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Practising these types of questions before taking the test is critical, because the differences between some of the sections are minute and the rules of deduction of the Watson Glaser test are different from other known deduction tests.
Bird and Bird Video Interview
Just as the assessment name suggests, the Bird & Bird video interviews are interviews via video. This means that staff will interview you via Skype, or send you a link to an interview platform that contains pre-determined Bird and Bird interview questions. Here, you will have a chance to briefly view the question before you record and submit your answer. Although seemingly easier, this method of interviewing means you do not have a chance to expand upon your answers or explain yourself further. Bird and Bird video interviews are not like in-person interviews. They require you to keep several unique and challenging aspects in mind while recording your Bird and Bird interview answers. The PrepPack™ provides preparation packs for video interviews.
Bird and Bird Assessment Day
The Bird and Bird assessment centre is used to evaluate and screen large numbers of applicants not only in key areas associated with the job description, but also for their specific working environment. During the course of the Bird & Bird assessment day, you will be met with a variety of tests, group exercises and interviews. This mix of activities was designed to assist the company in building a more precise outline of your strengths and weaknesses as they pertain to the available position.
How Are Bird & Bird Watson Glaser Tests Scored?
Bird & Bird Watson Glaser aptitude tests are usually comprised of multiple-choice questions. The possible marks for each question are correct, incorrect and unanswered. When you submit a Bird & Bird aptitude test, your answers are first measured against the correct answers. Then, your correct answers are counted and the rate of correct answers is calculated.
What is the Bird & Bird's Video Interview?
There are several different types of questions you may face during your interviews. Most interviews consist of competency-based questions, but some include job-related questions, maths problems, or riddles. You can also expect to be asked about your CV and your motivation regarding the position for which you are applying. To help you prepare for your interview and other assessments, a unique preparation pack, with all the resources you need, has been created. The pack features a detailed interview guide written by accredited psychologists. This guide covers various aspects of interviews and offers important tips. It discusses, among other things, competency-based questions and how to use the STAR method when answering them. It also provides advice on how to answer common interview questions. Going over these principles and reading the guide can help you prepare for your interviews.
What Will I Face in Bird & Bird Assessment Centre?
There are a lot of different exercises that you will face during the Bird and Bird assessment day. It is therefore really important that you get a good night's sleep if possible. Remember, a relaxed mind is the best mind. Try to be friendly even if you are nervous. It is often the interaction between candidates and workers that convince the assessors that you are the right choice for the job.

- Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index averages +6 in 2017
- Current conditions component at +13 last year; economic outlook at -1
- Republicans' confidence in the economy rises 77 points to +46 in 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' views of the U.S. economy were positive on balance in 2017, with Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index averaging +6 for the year. This was a 16-point increase from -10 in 2016 and is the index's first positive annual average since Gallup began daily tracking of this measure in 2008.
Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index is the average of two components: how Americans rate current economic conditions and whether they feel the economy is improving or getting worse. The index has a theoretical maximum of +100 if all Americans were to say the economy is doing well and improving, and a theoretical minimum of -100 if all were to say the economy is doing poorly and getting worse.
Overall, Americans' confidence in the economy has gradually if unevenly improved since the recession year of 2008, when economic confidence averaged -48. The index's weekly readings fell as low as -66 during that year.
Economic confidence increased slightly in 2009, the year the Great Recession officially ended, and further still in 2010, though sentiment remained decisively negative. However, confidence slipped again in 2011, as the specter of a possible U.S. default on its debt rattled Wall Street and Main Street alike. This effect was temporary, however, as confidence spiked by 16 points in 2012 -- tied with last year for the highest annual improvement in the trend -- though the index remained negative.
Confidence further strengthened over the next four years, although slowly, with the index's annual average increasing by a total of six points between 2013 and 2016. Confidence remained net-negative over this period, though the index's weekly measurements were positive for a brief time in early 2015 after gas prices plunged over several months in late 2014 and early 2015.
The election of Donald Trump in late 2016 helped push the index into positive territory on a consistent basis, as confidence dramatically improved after his election. The index's monthly average hit a then-record high of +9 in December 2016.
This newfound confidence carried over into 2017. The index averaged +10 or higher in eight separate weeks, including a score of +13 for the final week of the year. Often these peaks in confidence coincided with new highs hit by major stock indicators, especially the Dow Jones industrial average.
Republicans' Confidence in Economy Hits Nine-Year High
Republicans' confidence in the economy stood at +46 in 2017, a 77-point improvement from 2016 and the highest level for this group in Gallup's history of tracking this question. Undoubtedly, Republicans' economic optimism is partially based on the fact that the economy is now in the hands of a Republican president who made a number of conservative economic promises during the 2016 campaign and is working with a Republican-led Congress.
But partisanship doesn't completely explain improving economic perceptions -- economic confidence also rose among political independents in 2017, to -1 from -13 in 2016. And while Democrats' ratings of the economy deteriorated in 2017, this was less than the improvement in Republicans' confidence. In 2017, Democrats' economic confidence fell to -20 from +18 in 2016, a 38-point decline.
Americans More Confident in Current Conditions Than Economic Outlook
Perceptions of the economy's current conditions improved markedly in 2017, with more Americans rating them positively than negatively. The current conditions component of Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index averaged +13 last year, up from -2 in 2016. Last year's score reflects the 34% of Americans who described the economy as "excellent" or "good," minus the 21% who described it as "poor."
The economic outlook component also advanced in 2017, though -- at -1 -- it remained slightly negative. This score is the result of 46% of Americans saying the economy was "getting better," while 47% said it was "getting worse." The outlook component averaged -17 in 2016.
By a number of indicators, the U.S. economy had a good 2017. Closely followed stock market indexes such as the Dow performed strongly and set multiple new records over the course of the year, and the labor force unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in almost two decades. Crucially, national GDP grew at a quarterly rate of 3% or higher in the middle two quarters of 2017, only the third time the economy has grown this fast in consecutive quarters since before the recession.
Given these positive signs, it may be unsurprising that Americans regained their sense of economic confidence last year. But with economic pessimism dominating the national mood for so long, it was not necessarily foreordained that an improving economy would boost Americans' confidence. For instance, other key Gallup indicators, such as satisfaction with the way things are going in the U.S., have remained steadfastly low for about a decade despite changing national conditions.
Instead, economic confidence rallied in 2017. It is true that partisanship explains a portion of this rally: Republicans' surging confidence that began in late 2016 and continued last year was more the result of political, not economic, change. But at the same time, confidence has improved among independents, a sign that improving economic conditions are changing economic perceptions. Even Democrats in 2017 rated the economy's current conditions positively, though they were less sanguine about the economy's future -- presumably because they disagree with Trump's economic policies.
Moreover, a majority of Americans are optimistic about what the new year holds for the economy -- with 52% saying 2018 will be a year of economic prosperity. If that expectation becomes reality, Americans' confidence in the economy could continue to improve.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2017, on the Gallup U.S. Daily survey, with a random sample of 153,481 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.
Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.

Referenced Document has non-matching Internal ID
When opening assemblies, users sometimes get a message saying the referenced document has a non-matching internal ID. Let's explore why this occurs and how to remedy the issue.
What's an internal ID?
The internal ID is a number that is automatically generated and assigned to any part you create in SOLIDWORKS. This is not viewable or changable by the user. Once created, the internal ID will remain the same throughout the life of that part.
If you rename the part, the internal ID will remain the same. If you create a copy of the part and give it a different name, both files will have the same internal ID. If two files have non-matching internal IDs, it means they have the same name but different internal IDs. This means they were created independently of each other and are most likely not identical files.
Still confused? Here's an example.
When Part B is created from Part A, both parts will have the same Internal ID. Also, Parts A and B will share the exact same topology. This means swapping A out for B in an assembly typically goes much smoother because the face names (topology) match up. This is also very useful for design automation products such as DriveWorks or TactonWorks.
When Part B is created independently from Part A, they will have different internal IDs. Unless the files are purposefully built identically, they will most likely not share the same topology.
For instance, one may be started on the front plane while the other may be started on the right plane. The resulting solid geometry may be identical, but the part topology is different. Swapping A out for B in this instance will likely require the mates to be reworked in the assembly.
What you can do to fix it:
When you open an assembly and it informs you the internal IDs are different, you must decide whether this is the correct part or not.
Option #1: Is the referenced file in the correct location? Is the path shown in the dialog the expected location for this file? If not, select "Let me browse for the original file" and select the correct file. You may also want to determine why you have multiple versions of the same part number in the vault.
Option #2: If the file is in the correct location, was the file replaced with a more current file? If so, click "Use this file anyway" and the assembly will open with the file. Check the mates for the part to make sure they are correct. In most cases, they will not be unless the files were created identically on purpose.
Option #3: At this stage, depending on how the parts were created, the assembly may blow up. If it does blow up, close the assembly without saving. Reopen the assembly, and when prompted to use the file or not, select the "Open without this document" option. Once the assembly is open, you can delete the suppressed part from the tree and add it back in using the Insert Components dialog.
After opening the assembly with the correct part, you will need to save the assembly to update the file references. Once the assembly is saved with the new part it should recognize the internal ID from then on.

General Bridgehub Information
What is a Bridgehub adapter?
A Bridgehub adapter is an extension to be used with the Kinetic Bridgehub project. Each adapter allows Kinetic Bridgehub to retrieve data from the data source specified by the adapter.
Bridgehub adapter basics
Properties
Bridgehub properties are a set of parameters specific to each Bridgehub adapter. These parameters are normally configuration values for properties like username, password, server location, etc.
Initialize
A one time initialization method for the Bridgehub adapter that is required to successfully complete before any of the implementation methods (count,retrieve,search) can be executed. This allows an adapter author to pre-load operations to improve the speed of the implementation methods, validate the adapter properties, and set variables that can be used by other methods.
Count
An implementation method that returns the amount of records for a given Structure and Query.
Retrieve
An implementation method that returns a single record containing the specified Fields for a given Structure and Query. If there is more than one record that matches the Structure/Query combination, an error is thrown.
Search
An implementation method that returns multiple records containing the specified Fields for a given Structure and Query. A search request can also optionally specify metadata (order,pagination,query parameters) to further refine the search results.
Using Parameters
To allow for the use of query parameters when calling the implementation methods, make sure that the adapter substitutes the query parameters before making its call. The following is an example of this being done using the Kinetic Core Adapter:
KineticCoreQualificationParser parser = new KineticCoreQualificationParser(); String substitutedQuery = parser.parse(request.getQuery(),request.getParameters());
Want more detail?
If you want more detail about how a Bridgehub adapter is structured and the various classes available to it, look at the Kinetic Bridgehub Adapter javadoc.
How is the adapter tested?
Kinetic Bridgehub adapters are tested using JUnit tests. To import a set of standard JUnit tests that all bridge adapters need to be able to pass, extend the JUnit class for an adapter with the BridgeAdapterTestBase class. To go along with the BridgeAdapterTestBase, a bridge-config.yml file needs to be included with the test resources at /src/test/resource/bridge-config.yml. An empty file with instructions on how to fill it out should be included in the repository by default.
How is the adapter built?
Kinetic Bridgehub adapters are built as Maven projects. To build the project from the command line, run the command mvn package from inside the adapter directory.
NOTE: Before building the adapter you will need to make sure that the kinetic-bridgehub-adapter JAR has been added to the Maven project. Currently the kinetic-bridgehub-adapter is only available as a 3rd party JAR file (included in this repository), so it will need to be manually installed before the project will successfully build. Information on installing 3rd party JARs to Maven can be found here.
Adding the adapter to Bridgehub
Discovery file
Kinetic Bridgehub find and loads new adapters by looking for and loading up a file containing the main class of the Bridgehub Adapter. The name of the file is com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.BridgeAdapter and it is located at /src/resources/META-INF/adapters/com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.BridgeAdapter. The only thing that file should contain is the location of the main java adapter class. The following example shows the contents of the file for the Kinetic Core Adapter:
com.kineticdata.bridgehub.adapter.kineticcore.KineticCoreAdapter
Adding the JAR to Kinetic Bridgehub
Once it has been built, the adapter JAR goes into the WEB-INF\lib of the Kinetic Bridgehub installation. After restarting the server containing Kinetic Bridgehub, the newly installed adapter should now show up in the adapter list.

Configuration Archiving
Problem
You want to automatically maintain an archive of router configuration files.
Solution
To create an archive of old configuration files, use the following set of commands:
Router1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router1(config)#archive
Router1(config-archive)#path slot0:/configs/$h
Router1(config-archive)#write-memory
Router1(config-archive)#time-period 1440
Router1(config-archive)#end
Router1#

Discussion
Starting with IOS Version 12.3(4)T, Cisco introduced the ability to archive IOS configuration files. Once the feature is enabled, the router's configuration is stored in the archive each time you issue a write memory or copy running-config startup-config. In our example, we chose to save the archive configuration files on the flash card in slot0; however, you can also store the configuration files remotely using such protocols as TFTP.
Before the router can store the files in the location we've configured, we first need to create the directory configs. You don't need to store the archive files within a directory, but it's a good idea to keep the archive files together and away from other files such as IOS images. To create a directory in flash, use the mkdir command:
Router1#cd slot0:
Router1#mkdir configs
Create directory filename [configs]?
Created dir slot0:/configs
Router1#
Once the directory is created, the router will begin to automatically store its router configuration files each time you save the configuration file to NVRAM. In addition, you will notice that we configured a periodic archive every 1,440 minutes, or once a day. This is purely optional, but is a nice feature to enableespecially if you're saving the router configuration files to a remote server.
To view the archive configuration, use the show archive command:
Router1#show archive
There are currently 5 archive configurations saved.
The next archive file will be named slot0:/configs/Router1-5
 Archive # Name
 0
 1 slot0:/configs/Router1-1
 2 slot0:/configs/Router1-2
 3 slot0:/configs/Router1-3
 4 slot0:/configs/Router1-4 <- Most Recent
 5

Router1#
Notice that we already have five archived configurations saved. Also notice the name of each file begins with the hostname and has a suffix of "-" and a number. If you recall, we configured the path to include "$h", which automatically uses the hostname to name the archive files. You can choose to explicitly name the archive files yourself but this provides a nice easy way to name the files, especially if you're configuring a group or routers at once using a script. You can also choose to include a date/time stamp in the filename as well by including the "$t" variable in the filename:
Router1(config-archive)#path slot0:/configs/$h$t
The file numbering is automatically tagged on to the end of each filename to ensure uniqueness and allow you to determine the order of creation. By default, 14 archive files are stored; however, you can adjust the number of archive files by using the maximum command:
Router1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router1(config)#archive
Router1(config-archive)#maximum 10
Router1(config-archive)#end
Router1#
The router automatically overwrites the oldest archive once the maximum number of archives is reached to ensure you always have the more recent archive files available.
Another useful feature of maintaining a configuration files archive is the ability to view the differences between archive files and the ability to perform a configuration rollback. For instance, to view the configuration differences between the current running configuration and a particular archive file, use the following command:
Router1#show archive config differences slot0:/configs/Router1-1
Contextual Config Diffs:
+ip cef
-no ip cef
Router1#
In this simple example, the only difference is that we've disabled ip cef. Notice that commands added to the configuration file are marked with a "+" sign and commands removed from the file are marked with a "-" sign.
Say you wish to resort back to a previous configuration archive file. We recommend that you first store the current running configuration file by using the archive config EXEC command, and then issue the configure replace command. In the next example we chose to roll back the configuration to the archive file named "Router1-1":
Router1#archive config
Router1#configure replace slot0:/configs/Router1-1
This will apply all necessary additions and deletions
to replace the current running configuration with the
contents of the specified configuration file, which is
assumed to be a complete configuration, not a partial
configuration. Enter Y if you are sure you want to proceed. ? [no]: y
Total number of passes: 1
Rollback Done
Router1#
This is a nice feature, since it provides an elegent method of rolling back the configuration file in case you make a mistake or a new feature didn't work as planned.

text: The present work introduces an extended particulate filter model focusing on capabilities to cover catalytic and surface storage reactions and to serve as a virtual multi-functional reactor/separator. The model can be classified as a transient, non-isothermal 1D+1D two-channel model. The applied modeling framework offers the required modeling depth to investigate arbitrary catalytic reaction schemes and it follows the computational requirement of running in real-time. The trade-off between model complexity and computational speed is scalable. The model is validated with the help of an analytically solved reference and the model parametrization is demonstrated by simulating experimentally given temperatures of a heat-up measurement. The detailed 1D+1D model is demonstrated in a concept study comparing the impact of different spatial washcoat distributions. The generic model is further used to describe a diesel particulate filter coated with functionalities for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions (SDPF). This dedicated model, as a part of a full diesel exhaust line, is combined with a passenger car vehicle and thermodynamic engine model. The whole system model is assessed in office PC simulation regarding result plausibility and computational performance during the New European Drive Cycle and a randomly assembled drive cycle. The real-time capability of the full model is demonstrated by running it on the NI VeriStand real-time simulation environment. The presented type of system model contributes to answer upcoming questions in the context of real driving emissions (RDE) by means of simulation.

A team of researchers compare 15 king penguins and find out that penguins from areas of high human disturbance are less stressed by noise and approaching humans.
King penguins tolerate some, but not all, human interference. Research published in BioMed Central's open access journal, BMC Ecology, investigated the adjustment of a king penguin colony on the protected Possession Island in the subantarctic Crozet Archipelago to over 50 years of constant human disturbance, reported sciencedaily.com.
A team of researchers from the University of Strasbourg and the University of Lausanne compared 15 king penguins breeding in areas disturbed daily by humans and 18 penguins breeding in undisturbed areas. All penguins selected were brooding a chick aged from two days to one month.
Using heart rate to indicate the stress level of each penguin, they compared the stress response of penguins from the different areas to three stressors. Two low intensity stressors, a human approach to 10 meters and a loud noise, mimicked the actions of tourists, researchers and noises from machines when operating on the outskirts of the colony. One high intensity stressor, a capture, simulated researchers taking measurements.
Compared with penguins from undisturbed areas, penguins from areas of high human disturbance were less stressed by noise and approaching humans, but following capture, their maximum relative heart rate increased 42 percent although they then recovered faster.

N.H. poverty rate lowest in nation
CONCORD — New Hampshire had the lowest poverty rate among both individuals and families in the nation last year, but the rate has been rising over the past few years, according to new U.S. Census data.
In 2011, 8.8 percent of individuals - 112,700 people — were living below the poverty line, the lowest percentage in the U.S. The data found that 5.6 percent of New Hampshire families were living below the poverty line, also the lowest rate in the country.
The figures come from the American Community Survey, an ongoing survey that helps the state and federal government determine where to distribute funding.
The Granite State poverty rates were roughly half the national averages. The average poverty rate in the U.S. last year was 11.7 percent for families — more than double New Hampshire's rate — and 15.9 percent for individuals, nearly two times New Hampshire's rate.
While New Hampshire has the nation's smallest share of impoverished people, its poverty rate is actually at its highest in several years.
In fact, the rate among individuals has risen substantially since before the recession. From 7.1 percent, or 90,204 people, to the current 8.8 percent.
In 2010, the percentage of New Hampshire residents living below the poverty line was 8.3 percent, or 105,700 people. In 2009, the rate was 8.5 percent, or 109,213 people, and in 2008, the rate was 7.5 percent, or 96,041 people.
In 2011, Alaska and Vermont tied for second-lowest family poverty rate, at 6.9 percent. New Mexico and Mississippi had the highest poverty rates in the country in 2011, at 16.6 and 17.4 percent, respectively.

PDC is a common acronym in facilities management. Planning, Design and Construction is the capital program that enables facilities to grow. Medxcel PDC specifically has a dedicated focus on people and customers, and provides tools, processes, support resources, data analytics and insource strategies that drive results. One of the ways we do this is through energy. Really, it should be more common with the PDC acronym overall – PDC+E – because energy is a key strategy that integrates across the PDC processes to deliver the highest quality projects to our stakeholders.
Engaging energy at the planning phase is essential to allow the planning teams to review opportunities that support environmental stewardship goals. These goals often support CO2 reduction measures and ultimately result in utility cost savings measures. In addition to shaping plans that support end user goals, early incorporation of energy can help shape both supply and demand side strategies. This includes planning energy outputs and inputs and even available utility rebates that can be applied.
It's a 360-degree approach. As a facility plans for a reduction in upstream meter demand, the supply side team reviews opportunities to consolidate facility utility volume projections leveraging utility rate programs.
Standards, optimization, conservation, ROI and technology are all synonymous with energy programs. This phase is where programmed plans are turned into designs that support a lower carbon footprint with optimized energy spend, yielding projects that can be installed, meet planned objectives, and be efficiently maintained over a facility's life cycle.
Through design integration, the energy team works with pre-construction teams to validate solutions, explore new technologies, implement high-quality standards and work with external consultants on optimal designs.
Construction is the physical implementation of solutions that support environmental stewardship goals and energy utility savings. The energy team works with construction project managers to validate final system performance, assist with project closeout, and provide a seamless transition to our facility operators to ensure the new systems perform as intended. This phase is crucial in delivering on environmental stewardship goals and project objectives as defined in the planning phase.
Validating properly installed assets will yield a positive impact on our environment, and facility operators will have the knowledge and resources to continue to drive performance as planned.
PDC processes touch many aspects of a traditional energy program.
- Drives environmental stewardship goals
- Execute strategies on both sides of the meter
- Develops and implements standards
- Applies latest technology
- Validates project performance
- Streamlines PDC to operations turnover
- Measures and verifies goals
To put it simply: Why not 'E'?


Difference between an educator and a teacher
,, Leave a comment
Difference between an educator and a teacher
Children Educator
There are many similarities between educators and teachers. Indeed, there is also a ton of overlap in that many teachers are educators and many educators are teachers. And in many cases, the two terms can be considered synonymous. However, there are some small variations in the roles each plays and when the term is appropriate to use.
 1. Role
Perhaps the biggest difference in the two terms is the fact that an educator could be anyone who gives instructions, whereas a teacher is a job title to describe someone who teaches at a school. An educator could also be someone who acts as a mentor, and instructor or even a trainer. A teacher is someone who is in the teaching profession. They get paid and often require special training or formal qualifications, which is something that is not required of all educators but would depend on the type of educator and the content.[i] The difference between the two may be thought of as formal and informal also. Informally, when a teaching role is taken on by anyone, that would be more likely to be considered an educator. But when it takes place in a formal setting, with paid professional teachers, it would be more likely to be called teaching. In settings that are informal, but still require the same degree of teaching (such as homeschooling), both terms can be used accurately.[ii]
 1. Function
An educator educates students and a teacher teaches students. This may seem like the same thing, but an educator does not simply teach, but can also give intellectual, moral and social instruction. The scope and depth of education that can be provided by an educator can be much broader than a teacher because their focus is on overall development and progress for the student. This often requires that the educator evaluate progress individually and adjust the material to fit the student's needs. This is in contrast to a professional, paid teacher who will primarily focus on the pre-defined curriculum and syllabus for the term. This is what is taught to the entire class, regardless of their individual needs.[iii]
 1. Material
To become a teacher, an individual typically has to gain special training or receive some formal qualification. This is because the content that is taught deals with imparting theoretical knowledge such as theories, formulas and other information. Additionally, they teach how to apply the knowledge in a practical manner. While the same duties may be performed by an educator, depending on the content that they are covering, an educator will also provide intellectual, moral and social instructions rather than a simple practical application. This involves tying the information to a broader context than a teacher would.[iv]
 1. Characteristics
There are also certain qualities and characteristic that differentiate an educator from a teacher. With teaching, the individual teachers are expected to follow clear standards of practice that address the ongoing education of teachers, investigating any complaints and conducting hearings into allegations of professional misconduct. They must also take appropriate disciplinary action and deal with accreditation through teacher education programs. There is also an inherent obligation to honor students' rights.[v]
Informal education also has prescribed characteristics that help to define it. It seeks to create or deepen situations where people can learn or provide an environment where everyone can learn together building upon each other's ideas. Informal education also understands that an activity can be based on any form of learning (the teaching does not have to be deliberate, but can be implied) and focuses on social and collaborative aspects of learning. At times, informal education can help to bridge the gap between school and life and it allows the students a choice in how to approach and learn the material. Students are also given the tools that are tangible for the processes in which they apply to. Informal education can make learning accessible in everyday life and it is often driven by conversation and interaction with others.[vi]
 1. Advantages and disadvantages
In recent times, informal teaching is beginning to be more and more recognized for the advantages it may provide for life-long learning skills. It emphasizes certain values such as working for the well-being of all, respecting each and every human being, embracing dialogue, equality, justice, and democracy, including the active involvement of people in issues that affect their own lives. This focus is on values rather than a set curriculum. Informal education gives students real issues that help them to become deeply engaged in solving a particular problem. Through this, new concepts are mastered and this is how the education is transferred.[vii]
Formal education, led by a teacher, is much more widely accepted standard for transferring knowledge. Since qualifications are required, the individual who is teaching must understand the material they are teaching. However, the method is more through rote, or memorization rather than the experiential learning that occurs with informal education.[viii]
 1. Global comparisons
It is also important to understand that both terms can take on a new context in different regions of the world. They may still have similarities and differences, but these will be determined by the local culture and customs. Generally speaking a teacher would have four competences, including as a manager of instruction, as a caring person, as an expert learner and as a cultural and civic person. These different competences may occur at different levels in areas that are geographically and culturally different.[ix]

This research is a journey our destination is an increased understanding of The Map of Loss (Snyder. 1999) and the potential it offers for connection and growth. The Map of Loss is a simple. easy to remember picture that explains complex psychological processes everyone goes through during life. Creating metaphors using pictures. creative activities and everyday language. The Map is a unique approach to understanding life. The Map presents a visual guide to the importance of balance in our lives. and provides us with an opportunity to realise connections between our actions. thoughts. feelings. and beliefs and the meaning we attach to our experiences. The Map is a means of understanding the process of change it is about making life real. about bringing together. linking and embracing our humanity. In undertaking this study I have utilised a mix of method. principles and practice, with the aim of providing an interpretive portrayal of lhe processes and adaptations of The Map. The purpose of the study was to explore the qualities of The Map of Loss. to identify the important features. aspects and theoretical underpinnings of The Map. which have not been written about before. The locus was on understanding why and how prolessionals (collaborators) were using The Map in various settings with differing populations.

Even when a business is losing money, it's possible for shareholders to make money if they buy a good business at the right price. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt.
So should Australian Mines (ASX:AUZ) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. The first step is to compare its cash burn with its cash reserves, to give us its 'cash runway'.
Does Australian Mines Have A Long Cash Runway?
You can calculate a company's cash runway by dividing the amount of cash it has by the rate at which it is spending that cash. In June 2019, Australian Mines had AU$3.4m in cash, and was debt-free. In the last year, its cash burn was AU$15m. That means it had a cash runway of around 3 months as of June 2019. With a cash runway that short, we strongly believe that the company must raise cash or else douse its cash burn promptly. The image below shows how its cash balance has been changing over the last few years.
How Is Australian Mines's Cash Burn Changing Over Time?
Australian Mines didn't record any revenue over the last year, indicating that it's an early stage company still developing its business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. It's possible that the 17% reduction in cash burn over the last year is evidence of management tightening their belts as cash reserves deplete. Australian Mines makes us a little nervous due to its lack of substantial operating revenue. So we'd generally prefer stocks from this list of stocks that have analysts forecasting growth.
How Hard Would It Be For Australian Mines To Raise More Cash For Growth?
Even though it has reduced its cash burn recently, shareholders should still consider how easy it would be for Australian Mines to raise more cash in the future. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate).
Australian Mines has a market capitalisation of AU$60m and burnt through AU$15m last year, which is 24% of the company's market value. That's not insignificant, and if the company had to sell enough shares to fund another year's growth at the current share price, you'd likely witness fairly costly dilution.
Is Australian Mines's Cash Burn A Worry?
Even though its cash runway makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought Australian Mines's cash burn reduction was relatively promising. Once we consider the metrics mentioned in this article together, we're left with very little confidence in the company's ability to manage its cash burn, and we think it will probably need more money. For us, it's always important to consider risks around cash burn rates. But investors should look at a whole range of factors when researching a new stock. For example, it could be interesting to see how much the Australian Mines CEO receives in total remuneration.
Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of companies insiders are buying, and this list of stocks growth stocks (according to analyst forecasts)

Description: Cellular metals exhibit combinations of mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties that provide opportunities for various implementations and applications; light weight aerospace and automobile structures, impact and noise absorption, heat dissipation, and heat exchange. Engineered cell topologies enable one to control mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties of the gross cell structures. A possible way to manufacture complex 3D metallic cellular solids for mass production with a relatively low cost, the investment casting (IC) method may be used by combining the rapid prototyping (RP) of wax or injection molding. In spite of its potential to produce mass products of various 3D cellular metals, the method is known to have significant casting porosity as a consequence of the complex cellular topology which makes continuous fluid's access to the solidification interface difficult. The effects of temperature on the viscosity of the fluids were studied. A comparative cost analysis between AM-IC and additive manufacturing methods is carried out. In order to manufacture 3D cellular metals with various topologies for multi-functional applications, the casting porosity should be resolved. In this study, the relations between casting porosity and processing conditions of molten metals while interconnecting with complex cellular geometries are investigated. Temperature, and pressure conditions on the ...

- How does the amount of air in a soccer
ball affect how far it travels when struck by the same force? The
amount of air or air pressure in a soccer ball effects how far
the ball will travel when struck by the same force. The
higher air pressure that is put into a soccer ball improves the ball's
rebound off the foot of a player. More energy is transferred to
a "stiff" ball in an elastic collision. In other words, the ball deforms
less during the impact, so there's less energy lost to deformation.
- Does the atmospheric air pressure effect
how far a soccer ball travels when struck by the same force?
The atmospheric air pressure (the air surrounding the ball) also plays a role in how far a ball travels.
At lower pressure, there's less air friction. You can compare
it to kicking the ball in a tank of water to kicking the ball
on the moon. Balls go farther at high altitude because of the reduced drag from the air, which is thinner
as you go higher up. So there's a case where "reduced" air pressure makes
the ball go farther.
Also, the materials that the soccer ball is made out of effects how far the ball will
travel...but that is another question and experiment.
- How much air pressure should I put into a
Use Proper Air Pressure
Do not over or under pressurize a ball. Use
the manufactures recommended air pressure that is printed on
most balls. Most soccer balls have a pressure rating of 6 to 8
lbs. or 0.6 or 0.8 BAR. It is recommended that you use a
pressure gauge to measure the exact amount of pressure in a
ball after inflating and before use.
BAR or PSI or LBS?
Some soccer balls have recommended pressure
values indicated in BAR while others have the values indicated
in PSI or LBS. To convert the pressure values, use the
To convert BAR (KGS) to PSI (Lbs.):
Answer = 14.5037 X The amount of BAR(KGS)
For example: A soccer ball has a recommended
pressure of 0.6 BAR labeled on it. To convert BAR in
Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI), multiply 0.6 times 14.5037. The
answer is 8.7 PSI or Lbs.
To convert PSI (Lbs.) to BAR(KGS):
Answer =.068948 X The amount of PSI(Lbs.)
For example: A soccer ball has a recommended
pressure of 7.9 Lbs. (PSI) labeled on it. To convert
Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI) into BAR, multiply 7.9 times
.068948. The answer is 0.545 BAR.
How Do I inflate my soccer balls? Soccer balls lose air pressure over time.
Sometimes over a few days (soccer balls that use butyl bladders keep
air pressure longer than balls that use latex bladders). Be sure to
check the pressure frequently to make sure the ball is properly
inflated. Therefore, invest in a good ball pump, have a supply
of inflation needles and use a low pressure gauge to measure for
Before you first inflate a soccer ball, place a couple drops of silicone
silicone lubricant spray or glycerin oil into the valve. You can purchase
the oils or spray at
your local hardware store. Using one of the lubricants will improve the
life of the valve and lubricate the valve for easy insertion of the
Always moisten the inflation
needle before you insert it into the valve. Preferably, use some
silicon oil, silicon spray or glycerin oil to moisten the needle. However; most people use

Manufacturers recommend that you reduce the
air pressure in your match balls after a game to reduce
the amount of stress on the ball seams or stitching. Be
sure to inflate the ball back to proper pressure before the
Why do I always have to pump up even
expensive balls? Many balls use bladders made out of latex.
Natural Latex Rubber
bladders offer the softest feel and response, but do not provide the best air
retention. Micro pores slowly let air escape. Balls with natural rubber bladders need to be re-inflated
more often than balls with butyl bladders. Even after one or two
days, the latex bladder will leak enough air so that you will have
to inflate the ball back to recommended pressure. Some balls use carbon-latex
bladders in which the carbon powder helps to close the micro pores.
Soccer balls with carbon latex bladders usually increase air
retention to approximately one week. Of course, check the ball
for punctures that may cause the air to leak out.
Soccer Balls with Butyl bladders or PU
bladders offer an excellent
combination of feel and air retention and can be found in most
middle to upper priced balls. Air retention is significantly
increased to weeks and months instead of days compared to balls
with latex bladders.
Why do some soccer balls get bigger over
time? Many soccer balls do
tend to get larger over time. This
is due to the pressure of the air in the bladder against the linings and
cover. Over time the material and stitching may stretch out
causing the ball to become larger. Also, soccer ball abuse may
cause the stitching to loosen and the ball to expand.
I'm still working on this part...check back soon.


Random Color Scheme
Making a coherent Material Design theme is hard. This is a Flutter plugin that generates a random color pallet based on Material Design while respecting WCAG guidelines.
The idea is for you to (temporarily) replace your ColorScheme() with a randomColorSchemeLight() or randomColorSchemeDark(). On each run, hot refresh or hot restart, the app is going to look different. The theme is printed in terminal, so you can easily copy and paste back into your project with the colors that you want to stay.
The interactive sample allows you to see how it works and the reasoning behind:
pub package
 random_color_scheme: ^VERSION
In your project, just replace the ColorScheme.dark(...) with RandomColorSchemeDark().
If you want a light theme, there is a RandomColorSchemeLight().
import 'package:random_colorscheme/random_color_scheme.dart';
 data: ThemeData(
 colorScheme: randomColorSchemeDark(),
 child: MyApp(),
How it works
This started in my Color Studio project.
I started looking at the Material Design Guidelines on color for both light and dark theme.
After extracting some colors (like the Primary, Secondary and Owl Study), I decided to see how similar were they, in what range are they and how they behave together.
Then, I used HSLuv with a random number generator and rules detected from my observation. The final adjustments were made when tweaking the sample.
HSLuv is great because only the Lightness attribute affects WCAG calculated contrast, so all themes are guaranteed to pass
a minimum accessibility threshold.
Function listing
 - randomColorSchemeDark(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorSchemeLight(seed: null | int)
 - randomColorScheme(seed: null | int, isDark: bool)
Seed: an integer which guarantees the random function is always going to have the same output (i.e., the same ColorScheme).
It is optional.
